VIcToR EMANUEL PRESENTED WITH THE CAST OFF
CROWN OF DANsUEsE.-A strange affair, says a
letter from Turin, has occurred in this city. The
municipal council resolved to present to King Victor
Emanuel, on his return, gold circlet representing
oak and laurel leaves. But there was only six days
to prepare one, and Italian workmen were not ac-
tive enough to make it in so short time A Jew
presented himself and offered, for 5000 francs, a
magnificent crown which he had by him. His offer
was accepted, and the money paid; but 10! the dis
covery was afterwards made that the circet in ques
ton had been bought at sale of the effects of Fan
ny Ellsler, the celebrated dansuese, and proved
by an inscription inside, that it was given to her
after performance at London by an Englishman,
who was a fanatlcal admirer ofher dancing. Judge
of the effect thus created Nothing else is talked
of in our city.
