GOA communicated with Admiral
Mayo and asked II the federals would
boats. An affirmative answer was
given.
Throughout the morning the fed
eral- sunbOats ZaragOZa Bravo and
Vera cruz were able TO do but little
firing owing to the shortage of am

News OF the secret hearing given to

One afternoon Signor Lablache, the
celebrated basso, a man OF enormous
proportions, on leaving Covent Garden
theatre after rehearsal found that his
carriage had not arrived, so he sent
for a four-wheeler. Into this, after
a strenuous effort, he managed to
squeeze his massive body, to find him
self seated on the edge of the smaller
seat, truly uncomfortable position,
which il was imperative at once to
change. AS he struggled to his feet
in his attempt to do so, the bottom of
the vehicle gave wa$ and the artist
found himself standing in the road.

was released with no small difficulty
from his ridiculous dilemma.
