Tho enrrayings number considerably more than

larger and more expensive plates. Tho plates
themselves arc likewiso valuable, many being in
excellent condition. This property has lain
for twenty years uncarod tor in tho house IN
Queen Ammo street, where Turner's studio
was. This house, tenantloss, dirty, literally

are about to offer to the world Death

custodian of the property, and aftor his death
there were found piles Of engravings Of all
kinds reaching breast high round the ROOM
States had fallen OF the roof, the water had
dripped in and was actually standing in tiny

Lord Lytton's Domestic Infc1icitics.

Lord Lyttons married life, like that OF several
Of Ills illustrious compee1s in literature, "as
rendered unhappy by the disturbing influence
which is prettily termed the incompatlbility of
husband and wife in every case where the parties
are Of high station He WAS married IN 1877,
when his literary life had just been tinted with
the first dush Of appreciation. She whom he
selected for wife was also known in literature.
The interest excited BY the union Of two such
aentiment, caused BY the knowledge e1tant that
both OF them were in delicate health. The de-
scription Of them written at the time by - L. e.

lovely. And there. came to many w, VINO
read this an enhancing vision Of two beautiful
beings gliding through life, reluctant to leave
the Light Of each others presence, and made
love that possessed them. But as time paesed
and the weak couple grew in strength, thepopu-
lar interest in them, except as author and au-
thoress, departed, md was only revived BY tue
story Of their separation. Sir Edward had lost
tho tender tints of Lady Lytton's cheeks, that
had been described at her. marriage as - like
rose leaves crushed on ivory" Ind spread o7er
her countenanco and given her the ford com
plexion Of healthy natron, when, IN 1886, t,at
thus called to the Ifo Of the intellectual couple
Was ahort-lived. Lord 'Lytton settled on his
wife an annuity Of E400. ind she retired to
privacy while he continued to tread the slippery
ways Of politics. Soon Lady Lytton found that
her expenses could not be met with her income,
and as her husband advanced in worldly pros
perity abe began to utter complaints, to which
be gave no attention. Becoming angered at
this indifference toward what she deemed her
sufferings, she began to use her pen against
him publicly, and she issued several novels and:
pamphlets, wherein he was depicted in any but
pleasing colorE. This course Was continued for
years, but its lack Of OBJECT toward her desired
object urged her to adopt different tactics. In
the spring OF 1858 Lord Lytton became Cabi-
net Minister, and his seat in Parliament for
Hertfordshire becoming vacant, it was neces-
sary for him, in accordance with custom,
to meet his constituents there in order to
be rechoeen. Lady Lytton, then residing

supporters, charge him with bis cruelty to her,
and thus defeat his re-election.~ She circulated

The second week OF the engagement Of hlr.

ar,s Theatre has been only moderately SUCCESS
fnl in point of attendance, though the quality Of
the euta1teinment offered might reasonably be
aIpected to call out an unusually large patron
,ee. For the first three nights the bill consisted
cf short farce, followed by Airs. Boucicau1t in
ore Of the most charming Of characters in ''hly,
the Maid with the Milking Pail" and concluding
with "kezry,", Mr. Boucicault's masterpiece,
both in construction and action-his most sue
cessful effort as dramatist, and his best imper-
sonntiou us an actor. The Illness OF HRS.
Boucicault during the last three nights
1ecesstated the withdrawal OF "11I1y"
and the substitution OF "ArTah-na-
Pogue,'' with Miss Julia Blake aa A,rah,
q part which she essayed SO successfully that in
many cases tho change was not perceived. A
gentleman, who supposed he VIE speaking OF
Agnes Robertson, was overheard to remark
q Hoa wcn che bears her age. She really looks
younger than she did fifteen years ago."
For this week there is to be mixture of at
tracions, and between the two all sorts of tastes
alnou1d be suited The performance will begin
with "Kerry," affcrding one hour OF the most
delightful enjoyment, and after it comes the
celebrated drama Of The Phantom" the most
weird thrilling, and intensely sensational OF MI
