Filty-eight sovereigns, princes, and prIn-
cessess, of greater or less degree, have visited
the Court Of the Tuilefies since the COM
mencementof the year. Crowned heads and
princes of royal blood, it would seem, leave
their womankind at home. Out of the fifty
eight visitors. there were only thirteen ladies
I-fOrty-fve sOVereigns, and princes against
three queens and ten princesses.

TO add to his reputation, but to make money.
The charge for admission to his readings will
be high-more than is usually charged in
this country for similar entertainment. At
his readings in London the prices of tickets
vary from two shillings to five shillings.
The highest priced seats are in front, and
require of their occupants the formality OF a
dress coat and white gloves, style Of dress
that the reader a so adopts. A foreign cor
respondent of the Tribune describes Mr.
Dickens appearance in the rostrum, saying:
When you come to hear Mr. Dickens read,
you will probably hear the most perfect
drawing room artist in the world. His voice
has remarkable 1exibility and swee:ness,and
the same may be said of his face, which is
capable Of every expression, with dignity in
them all. He would have made high
comedian of the first rank. The Christmas
Carol is probably his best selection, as it af-
fords him broader play of character, and h
has adapted it 10 an hours entertainment so
well that it tells the whole story. He viii
not be disappointment either in person or
in art. His body is in full robustness, and
he is cheerful, handsome, and conscieptious
as ever
