A sensation scene not in the bills lately occurred at Drury Lane theater, London. There was play designed to meet the pop, ular realism, and one Of the incidents was the driving of Hanson cab, probably taken off the cab stand outside, across the stage As it entered, and the driver smacked his whip, and the lady who had summoned it Miss Robertson) jumped in, pits and gal leries, all densely crowded, sent out a roar of applause so sudden and SO loud that the horse, frightened out of his wits, became almost tungovernable, backed the cab on to the footlights till it bent the brass rod which protects them, and but for the stren. uous exertions of the supers, who ''whoed'' in the most natural and unstagy style would have shot poor Miss Robertson head over heels into the orchestra, with the cab upon her, and the horse most probably on the top of the cab. The beast at last recovered itself, and galopped short distance in the most spirited manner, and Miss Robertson escaped unseathed.

A romantic story is told of an English man who sought the hand of very charm ing lady, with whom he was passionately in love, but who constantly refused him. As he had reason to believe she loved him, he entreated to know the reason why she refused Ter consent to their union. The lady subdued by his constancy, told him her only motive for refusing him was, that having by accident lost leg, it had been replaced by 8 wooden one, and she feared that sooner or later that circumstance would chill his affection for her. This she declared to be her only motive. The lover protested that it would never make him change his love; but she persisted in re- fusing to marry him. Fired with love, and determined that nothing should obstruct his design, he, under the pretext of going a distant voyage, left his lady, and hasten ed to Paris, where he had one of his legs amputated. When he had recovered, he returned to London, went to the lady, and told her that now there was no obstacle to their union, for that he was equally muti- lated with herself The lady, conquered by such proof of affection, at last consent ed to marry him.

A good story is told of an eccentric old gentleman, who, although occasionally ad- dicted to the habit of swearing, was still punctillious in regard to saying grace at his table, and this he never omitted on any occasion.
 The story runs that on certain occasion the old gentleman invited sea captain, a jolly old weather-beaten tar of his acquain- tancs, to dine with him. They sat down to dinner, and the old gentleman, according to custom, commenced saying grace; but the captain, whose attention had been di- verted for moment hearing the old gen. tleman speak, thought he was addressing him, and turned to him with
 ''What do you say, Squirrel"
 ''Why, d-it man; I'm saying gracc.''

William Cullen Bryant writes as follows to the New York Eoening Post in regard to the number of Americans at Rome:-"The American visitors at Rome this winter are counted by thousands; and if I were to judge by what I saw and heard passing around me, should almost say that they had expelled the English. They have been
 certainly as two to one compared with those who come from the British Isles. You hear English spoken in the streets and shops, but your ear tells you that it is with an American intonation. Americans swarm
 at the hotels, and outbid their insular cous- ins for the pleasantest and sunniest suites of rooms. The consequence is, of course, that Rome has grown dearer than ever. The English complain, and not without some reason, that it is the Americans who have made it so, although the burdens of the government now resting upon a small population, and paper money system al

Captain Clark, until recently con-
nected with the Freodmen's Bureau,
and stationed in the Blackwater Dis
trict, a short time since was charged
with being interested with a Mr..
Jacob Garrett in working a planta-
ton in Caiahoula Parish. Captain
Clark, however, cleared himself be.

gated the charges, and soon after re-
signed his position in the army. 1t
appears from what has since trans

estcd in the plantation in the manner
charged, or that he, Immediately
after resigning the Captaincy, be.
came a partner with Mr., Garrett.
However that may be, Capt. Clark
left this city a few days ago, stating
before he left to a gentleman friend
that he was going up to settle or sell
out bis interest in the plantation, and
he expected there would be difficulty
in doing so.
On wednesday last, an interview
took place between the two gentle
men, during which a dispute in re.
gard to the interest of the Captain in
the plantation arose, eventually end
ing in mutual threats and defiance,
and an agreement to settle the mat
ter by means ola duel, to be fought
with pocket-knives This frightful
proposition being agreed upon, the
two desperate infuriated men imme-
diately proceeded to execute it by
drawing their knives and rushing to-
gether. We are told that the fearful
combat lasted q considerable time,
the men grasping each other by the
left hand, and with the right cutting
slashing, and %stabbing indiscrimina.
tely in the back and body, on the
head, face, and hands, until Captain
Clark fell, exhausted from the loss of
blood. Both men presented o horrible
appearance, being literally hacked
and gashed all over the upper part
of the body and arms. Captain
Clark expired about twelve hours
after the fight, and at last account
Mr. Garrett was considered beyond
the hope of recovery.
