LOLA MONTES.

The New York Herald thus audes to the pre-
sent position and future prospects Of this famous
danseuse:
eLola Monies, since her return from Boston,
has been living very privately at the Howard
House; her morning evees, it is said, exhibiting
only few Counts and Barons, from different
parts of Europe. Ia Hartford, on her way to this
city, rupture took place between her and Mr..
Marshall, which cancelled her engagement; but
it seems new contract has been signed by both
parties, in which it is stipulated on the part of
the manager of the Broadway Theatre, that Lo-
Ia Monies is to appear in the new comedy of her
life, written for her by Mr.. Ware, some time du-
ring the coming summer or fall under the condi-
tions that, in the interval the Countess shall
cause no explosion, revolution, or volcanic erup-
ton in the politics religion of this country
This contract. securing her neutrality in politics
and religion, is actually signed. If the Countess
de Landsfed has been heretofore considered ia
vorable to Mr.. Buchanan from the Presidency, be-
cause he is bachelor and she lone woman, her
present contract with Mr.. Marshall entirely strips
Mr.. Buchanan of her efficient aid in politics. As
to the subject Of religion, she is also tied to neu-
trality, so the Jesuits and Bishop Hughes may en-
terrain no dread her opposition during the ex-
istence of this contract. Lola Monies has like
wise secured the services of worthy deacon of
one of the Puritan churches in Boston-the Rev.
Mr.. Omstead-who is going to accompany her as
man of business, legal adviser, religious confessor,
prime minister, and grand vizier during her tour
through the country, on which he starts in few
days. Before returning she intends to visit Nj
agara Falls the Mammoth Cave, the Delaware
Gap, the hundred mile PRAIRIE the Dancing
Springs, the Natural Bridge in Virginia, the Nat
ural Gas Works in Cattaraugus, and all the other
great curiosities ofthis country. She has already
cleared about ten thousand dollars from her
gagements in the Atlantic cities, and she intends
to ma Ike that sum fifty thousand before she returns
to this city next fall, if she can keep her temper
long enough to do so.
LArER!-LoLA IN A Row "A few evenings
since, as we learn from the New York papers,
the boarders at the Howard Hotel were disturbed
by the noise of row which took place in her
room and about the door leading to it. Rumor
states that the Countess was entertaining four or
five foreigners Of distinction" and in converse
ton spoke lightly of female friend of one of the
party. The gentleman defended the lady alluded
to, when Lola got in passion, and ordered him to
leave the room. He did not move quick enough
to please her, and she rang for some of the
wants and told them to put Signor -- out of
the room. Her orders were complied with, but
the gentleman soon returned with friend,
and sought admittance to the room, when the in
dgnant Lola 'pitched into' him, and left her
mark on his face The gentleman was smoking
at the time, and as he raised his hand to protect
his countenance, the, burning end of his segar
came in full contact with the Countesss nose.-
The result was general rough and tumble, in
which the two intruders got severely handled.
