pol. What is certain is, that the management OF
the Opera-now q Government affar-was put
all aback by her fight. Gustave Planche talks
about il at length and with bis constitutional au-
sterity-nst to say acridity-in the last numoor
of the Rerue des DueL Mondes. Madame Stoltz,
who was of at London on leave, was sent for 10

Meantime Mr.. Lepoure, a dramatic writer who
has had his successes, cannot get piece OF bis
plsyed although it has long ago been accepted for
that stage 1t is three act tragedy in verse, en-
titled Medea. Rachael was to fill the chief part

ground that Rachael was to retire from the Thea

delay was consequently loss for his client.
The case Was adjourned for week. The dra-

part Of it, She may be condemned not only to
play Medea, but if she does not behave properly,
as Medea should, she may be sued again and
ordered to play it well-by judicial tribunal.
There was a trial in the criminal court last
week. which proves that Sue in his Mysteries Of
Paris, nor Balzac in Last Incarnation Of Vautrin,
has in nothing exaggerated the famous prison
scenes of those romanocs. An infOrmer who had put
Justice on the track of great many criminals was
inclosed with the prisoners at the COneiergeri6 to
play the spy upon some OF them. In spite o. his
disguise his true character was discovered by the
prisoners one of whom offered himself to do ven
peance on the common enemy, and a bloody duel
with knives continued till both combatants fell in

bluff, hearty way, up to Friday noon. Friday

Messrs. Mason and Soule are returned from
their conference with Mr.. Buchanan at Ostend.
There ia an uncommon amount of guessing by IN
titled diplomats as to what they conferred about.
Some guess it was Cuba, some guess it was coats;

says Quidnunc, &C.. &c. l say nothing. |
notice that your shrewd diplomats say great
deal of nothing. Mr.. Dudley Mann is still here.
He did not 90 to Ostend. He says nothing. Mr..
Soule is to return to Spain and not to America
as we here were fond of supposing at one time.
