Patti, the maSquise2 de Caux, Is still the
rage at st. Petersburg. Her concert for the
poor brought 216O0. She walks about en-
velooed in sables Of the densest black, and
consequently Of the most rare quality-on her
head bqjtI,k, her face protected by black
velvet mask, escorted by the Emperor and
Grand Duke Vladimir. She sings three nights
Of the week at the opera, and it is as difficult
to secure places as on the first day Of her ar
rival. The Paris Gaulois gives letter from st.
Petersburg, which says that the clubs of that
capital had presented La Diva with necklace

thousand guineas. It was handed to her in
the name Of these clubs by the CHEF d'orclsstre
Pasquale." On the following morning Patti
received letter from Count d'Adeberg, Minis
ter OF the Emperor's Household, in which,
in his Majesty's name, he begged her
acceptance OF the souvenir offered to her by
Alexander II. This consisted OF q superb
brooch and ear ings Of diamonds Of such mag
nitude and purity that ib would be almost m
possible to caloui ,te their value. On the pre-
oeding evening Patti had considerable difficult
ty in reaching the footlights in order to ac-
knowledge the enthusiasm she had excited,
the heaps Of boquets which lay piled on the
stage literally impeding her movements.
