/ Partisan society has been sAddened BY
the death of young lady Of rank snd
fashion. On post mortem examination
II wss found that her decease was to be as-
eribad TO tight lacing. Her stays had
forced three Of her ribs into her liver.
TIE latest literary sensation in Paris
is the new novel by Madame Ratsszi
/ Princess de Solms) In this work q well
known member of the Corps Legislatif is
held up TO ridicule in rather scurrilous
sInsnner. The author has been ordered to
leave France, and pension granted her
three years ago has been withdrawn. The
sale OF the little theatrical paper, Figaro
PTogTGmnle, has been suspended in the
streets, because the editor published an
| outline OF synopsis of the obnoxious novel,
which is entitled Lies Marriages dune Gre

DR.. Morell, who furnished Handel with
the words Of his orntories, related that one
fine summer morning he (Dr. NJ was
reused out Of his bed at five o'clock by
Handel, who came in his carriage a short
distance from London. The doctor went
TO the window and spoke to Handel, Hko
would not leave his carriage. Handel was
st the time composing an Orstorio. When
the Doctor asked him what be wanted, he
said "What te teVil means the word
6llJoW p which word was in the oratorio
the Doctor had written for hin. The
Doctor, after laughing at so strange rea-
son. for disturbing him, told him that billow
meant the wsveof the sea. "Oh, de waver"
said Handel, and bade the coachman re-
turn, without addressing another word TO
the Doctor.
Several of the Paris journals speak
against the extremely decoLLete style of
dress which the ladies have adopted at the
balls this season in the French capital:
aWhat remains st the present day of wo-
mans dress," says II. E. Tezler, in the
Steele, '.is 30 smRll that it is hardly worth
talking about. Ladies' are almost ettired
like the natives in South Amerioa-wfth
nothing but necklace. Besides that such
style of dress may be made very rich, it
has the advantage Of covering but little
and at ball where the heat is always ex-
cessive, one cannot be too thinly clad !" NJ.
VeRet, in the Monde, makes the following
remark: "If one of the present queens Of
the Partisan beau monde were to walk out
of doors in ball Costume, the ssrge71s de vile |
would lock her up, and the correctional tri- |
bunal visit her with the whitening effect of |
q conviction"
The Earl of Derby, leader of the Tory |
party in the English House of Lords, and |
the most accomplished debster of the day,
has lately issued blank verse translation |
of the Iiad, which some critics pror ounce
to be the best ever produced. Lord Derby
has always been known as q classical |
scholar, but hitherto he has not had re-
putation for great literary excellence. The
Of the IliRd will place him in
the first rank of the expounders of Homer,
and it is hardly too much to say that he
will hereafter be found on the shelf with
Pope and Cowper, as on the page of his
.ory side by side with Peel and Grey. The
Revie,0 a periodical which has
always been hostile to Lord Derby as a
sccords, in its last number,
great merit to this production. The heir
of the Stsnleys seeks, and will obtain,
lobler renown than military proves, or
sven than successful statecraft, in produc-
ng, by the present work, better spprecia-
ion of the immortal epic of the father Of
poetry.
