The " Clown's Act" of the students, which I
noticed in my last letter, has had a second perform
ance, which ended in the shape of a drama. Not
being sati.-fied with the neglect, or rather the in
difference, with which the pro to. -it at ion against the
interdiction of M. Michel*! had been received by
the Legislative Assembly, they congregated to the
number of about eight hundred, in the yard of the
College of La Sorbonne, and uttered some seditious
shouts. Whilst one of them was reading an address
to M. Miehelet, which was often interrupted by
energetic hurrah.", the t oiumissary of Police, I>eu?
tx muchuid , arrived on the spot, with his tricolored
eearf around his shoulders, and followed by about
fifty policemen. Immediately he summoned the
students to withdraw, f'cnw among them having
refused to retire quietly, were arrested by the French
??starB." The impute was then organized in the
street, slid it was resolved that they would all go
to the National Assembly. In the meantime, a
column was formed, and they marched in order to
the ruo do Crenelle St. Germain, where they met
with a detachment of gendarmes. A shoit -;ruggle
took place between the soldw-i s and the students
but the former had he victory, a id captured a large
number of the imcutiir*, who were taken by them
to the Prefect of Police On the next day, thcii
examination took place, and about toity of these
foolish young u'icu weic detained prisoners for a
further bearing.
T bis who the second act of the drama, lite third
n< t was the visit of a de'.egution of about fifty stu
?t* r.ts to M. Victor Hugo, tho rep escntative of the
p< ople, to w hose care they trusted the protestation
in favor of M Michelet. The fouith and last act
of this burl- -que, will have its dewwmcnt at the

The mi tin fcwi (the half of Lent) u here to-day.
Bad weather will not allow the masquerades in the
city. At the present hour the rain is pouring in
torrent*, ami hail is besieging, like grape shot, tho
w indows of my office. This ugly weather has re
placed the spring-like temperature which we have en
joyed during the whole of the winter season. Well,
we now pay for it with the giboulits de m i rs, whioh,
instead of ap)>earing under the shape of snow storm*,
arc falling, melted, in a thick rain, which renders
the macadam the muddiest invention of the age.
Paris, for the last fortnight, resembles those foun
taias of mud on the Mormons1 lands in California,
for the dirt is all over the streets and on the Boule
vards.
The waters of La Seine have much augmented,
and yesterday morning the river had ouch a height
that its waves were bathing the upper (tones of tli"
wharves. There is no danger, however, of a flood.
The snow has been scarce in the mountains, and
the frost has not furnished the ice-houses of nature
anymore than those of mankind. Apropos: It ap
pears that the keepers of refreshment establish
ments of Paris and France, do not know what to
do to obtain ice for making ice creams, lemonades,
sherry cobblers, and brandy smashers, for the next
season. If lain well informed, ice will bo scarce,
and will cost from four to five cents the pound. I
should think that it would be an excellent specula
tion to -end lame to Havre, and sell it with aclear
profit of-KMi per cent.
The weather, instead of preventing the pleasures
of our fashionable society, despite the Strictness oi
the Lent, has given a new chimo to the merry bells
of folly. The private patties have been quite nu
merous, and several public balls, of a refined kind,
have also taken placc.
The most conspicuous of these, ha-< been that
iven by the actors and actresses of Paris, for the
cnefit of their benevolent association. This im
posing assembly, at which all the pretty and
talenud actresses of 1'aris were present, took place
at the Comic Opera House, on Saturday lost, the
?2d instant, aud it was a splendid affair. All the
dames de theatre of renown, and they arc numerous
in Paris, had hired a private box for the occasion,
and their & gc was a petit suloon, where they held
their cour jjiteii ieie during the intermission either of
a quadiillc or of a mazurka. Mile. Kachcl, whose
I urlor war uiu< li besieged at that ball, danced with
some of the leading beaux of Paris, and it is said
that each of her dauces paid one hundred francs to
the association by the happy partner. Tuis ex
ample was followed by many of her sisters in the
art of Melpomene, and it produced an addition to
the income of the benevolent society. 1 was shown,
at that ball, the individual who. wishing to be ac
quainted with the ninety-two patronesses of the a
sociation, visited all these pretty women, and took
a ticket from each of their pretty hands. This
curiosity wai certainly quite expensive, but it gave
tlie gentlt men who satisfied it, the best opportunity
of rendering himself the lion of the soiree, and,
perhaps, he will find some reward for his good ac
tion. Among the actresses whose toilettes offered
the most elegant fit H-tnblt, I will mention Miles,
Page. ? 1 1 he \ am tit - theatre: Mile. Hrassine, of the
Moi.taii iertheatre; Md'lle. of the Vaudeville thea
tie; Madame Ko:-i Chers, of thet'jmnase; Madame
Octaves, of the Vaudeville theatre*; Md'lle Miolan,
of the < ornic i 'pera house; and Madame Pierron, of
the theatre ilistorique. '1 lie richest goods had been
? mploy. d bv their dressmaker*, and the style with
which they hud been arranged was the nt j>tu* ultra
ot fine taste and elegance. The President of the
rej uldie was present at this festival, and though
he did i.ot leave the box which he had hired for t tie
occasion, it is said that he gave audience in the
baik parlor of that box to the aristocracy of
beaut j belonging to our theatres. It was a ?ort of
ri < ? | lion uu/ irti Ueet, which bad its peculiar charm.
J he Americans residing iti l'aris were numerous at
the Uil de a artistes, anil 1 could mention uimy in
t: i?Ue- which were began, thiough th'' interference
<?1' the god Plutus, in th e foyer of the theatre. It
will b< sufficient to say that two of the most con
fpicncuf *4 swells'* of Saratoga uinl Newport, tried
all in their { ower to conquer the hearts ot 44 these "
ladits, and created much laughter among them,
'i he first, (to describe them without giving any
name), wa* a thin and halt dead young man, who
wears hi- hat on the left side of the skull, aud whose
continual " spinning" was the greatest curiosity of
of Saracco's ilan-ing saloon. "1 he second wa* a fat
aid bombastic "g.iit," well known among the
upper ten of New lork. Now you may guers, and
it you find out, jou will ?ee that I am correct iu all
respects.
1 here will be two grand balls this evening, which
w ill offer macb interest. The first is a masquerade
par-.y, given by the Princes" of Wigraui, in the
place of Princess Mathilda l>einedoff. The -econd
i- that ol Mr. and Madame Berger, at the Hotel
<!>? \ ille. I w ill -end the particulars in my next.
Aud la "t, not the least, the grand Masquerade Kail
at the Academy of Music, which will be the mi/lez
Cvtt > of all tho?e who are fond of fun and pleasure.
All Paris will p., there and bury the carnival in the
best style.
It i - J roj . r to mention that kings and queens are
-till elected by the ;<cnpie. Von must know that w>
ancient CVstom rentiers it necessary to select a king
and a queen in all the washing establishments of
Paris 1 he aimuni ceremony took place on Sun
day last, and it afforded quite an interesting -ight
ti a foreigner. Vt hen the queen had been elected
by un:t<r*al suffrage, *he chooses her king, u|d
(?oth are crowned *ith a crown of paete board, gilt
for the occasion. This ceremony *i' fo^owed by
a grand dinner, during which tile ut "i enthusiastic
toavtswere delivered in honor of their maje-ties.
t 'ne of our statesmen has -aid that ih<: " Kings
were gone." This, 1 declare, is falsehood aud non
sen-"' ( 'n the contrary, they arc returuing.
Another royalty, thai of m rit, was bestowed, on
Saturday last, by the Institute of France, upon Mr.
Ambrose Thomas, tbc eels b rated composer of mu
sic, wh" was nam* d member of that body of distin
guished men. in place of the celebrated Ppontini.

were made about this new comer, who made her
JitnU at the Italian opera, when it was finally dis
eovered that she was an American, and that her
name was Miss A. F. lluut, of New York. Honor
to whom honor is due.
At the Varieties theatre an extravaganza in two
acts, entitled " Huns l'autre Monde," w?s performed
lust night, and proved very successful. The plot in
remarkable for incidents of all sorts.
At the Ambigu t'omique, the third and fourth
parts of Monte Chriito, called, " Le ('omte de
Morcerf," and "M. de Villefort," will be perform
ed on Tuesday and Wednesday next,? a drama
each night. It is said that these new plays of Messrs.
Dumas and Muuuet, are full of the highest interest.
The theatre of the Odion met , on Friday last, with
the greatest success experienced since the days ol
Francois It Champs. Tho new drama belongs to
the fantastical "toe" of the devil. It is entitled
"The Novels of Iloft'man," ? (Lea Contes d'lloff
mau) ? and contains the most curious scenes ever
invented by auy author. The writer of this drama
has dramatised the life of the German student,
whose imagination went beyond the possibility of
nature ; and the effects drawn by them are really
striking in the highest degree.
Fanny lOIssler, the divine dantttut, after having
danced during the whole season at the grand theatre
of Moscow, hus decided that she would leave the
stage, and retire into private life. iShe was expect
ed in Vienna, where it is her intention to give a
farewell gala night to her countrymen, and then she
will retire to the charming villa which she possesses,
near Brunn, in Moravia.
The famed Mine. Sacchi, who calls herself a
Countess of Sacchi Strina, whose daring as a rope
dancer, was celebrated in Kurope, since the days
of Napoleon, i* now residing at .vladrus. This lady,
who is now sixty-six years old, made a wonderful
itscension on thj 10th of Hecomber last, forthe bene
fit of the " Poor's Institute" at Madras. The re
ceipts of that exhibition amounted to ?15, (MM
sterling.
1 will finish this long letter with a little scanda
lous gossip, which is now whis]>ered in all the Ame
rican circles of l'uris. It appears that the daughter
of a clergyman of New York, who was married to
a gentleman of the same city, cainc to Paris with
her husbund, to see the beauties of /?a li<LL France,
und enjoy the pleasures of this promised laud. For
some cause or other, the husband seon became so
queer in his deportment, that his better half, on a
certain morning. thought proper t<? abandon the
conjugal roof, without giving notice of her disap
pearance. During six weeks the husband, who had
h:>d recourse to the police, looked in vain for his
wife. She was not to be found. Id the meantime
the lady had written to her father in New York,
who arrived by the last steamer, and met his
daughter at a retired house, where she lived
" alone," with only the desire to avoid her husband,
who, in her opinion, was somewhat wrong. I am
told that the lady is quite pretty, and of agreeable
deportment. If such is the ease, and I think I ain
correct, the affair will be tienouet before the tribu
nals. and a divorce, or rather a separation of body

Foreign Music and the Drama.
Tbe programme of the Royal ltaliau Opera, for
the forthcoming season, haa been put fortn by the
directors. The company does not present any re
markable changes ftom that of last season, with the
exception of Madlle. Angri ooouing in the place of
Madlle. de Meric, as a prinoipal contralto; a sub
Btitutiou thut must give general satisfaction. Of
Madlle. Yintale, the new contralto, we ean only
speak by report; but that, a* far as it goes, is favor
able. Madale. Giuseppina Mora (soprano), Signor
Salvatorc (buritono), and Signor Bianchi (basso
profondo),are also amongst tbe new comers, whose
reputation ban yet to be made in this country.
Tne great leaders of song ? Madame Grisi, Madauie
Yiardot, Signor Mario, Signor Tamberlik, Signor
Ronconi, and Ilerr Forme*? form a list of extraor
dinary strength and completeness. The secondary
artistes are again Madfte. C'otti, Maraltl, Luigi
Mei, Soldi, Hommi, Tafliafico, Polonini, Gregorio,
Ferrari, Bianchi, and Ruche, a new singer from
Berlin. The band and okorus remain without any
changes of importauoe; the musical direction and
the conductor's baton will continue in the hands of
Mr. Costa. The chorographic performance, a*
hitherto, is not to be made a distinct enter
tainment, but to be introduced incidentally to the
opera* of the modern French oomposers. Madlle.
Louise Taglioni, M. Alexander, and the usual
carps of assistants, will form the attraction of the
ballet. The soenic department remains under the
skilful direction of Messrs. Grieve and Telbin.
The already extensive repertoire of the opera will bo
increased bv the addition of the following eight
operas: ? "11 l'rodigo" (an adaption of Auber'tf
"L'Enfant Frodigue;" "Sappho," a new opera com
posed for Madame Viardot by M. Gounod ; Donizet
ti's " Lew Martyred," Weber's " Euryanthe," Spon
tini's "LaVestule," Spohr's "Faust," Moiart's
"Flauto Magico," and Beethoven's "Fidelio."
The works positively announced are " II Prodigo "
nd " Sappho;" three of the others will probably
be produced, but of this thore is yet no certainty, ad
i much depends upon the succoss of Auber's and
Gounod's grand works. The theatre was announced
i to open on the 29th of March.
Moliere's comedy of "Tartuffe," adapted to tho
English stage by Mr. Oxonford, will be produced at
the Haymarket. Mr. Webster will sustain thu
character of the pious hypocrite.
Mr. Fiance is engaged on a new burlesque for tho

] Mr. G. V. Brooke will join the Haymarket com
pany in May. On Thursday, the 13th of March,
this celebrated tragedian took his benefit at Edin
burgh, after a most successful engagement. Ou
that occasion he appeared, for the first time, as
Rob Roy; after which ho convulsed the house with
1 laughter, as ()'( allaghan, in the amusing afterpiece
1 of " I lis Last Legs." This was a character in which
J the late lamented Tyrone Power used to excel, and
quite antipodean to tragedy. Mr. Brooker is tho
\ best Irishman on the stage.
We copy the following from a highly favorablo
I review in tl?e Sunday Times. The other newspapers
are equally well disposed: ? "Mr. Willintn James
i Wal lack's personation of Othello, in which he con
vinced all who witnessed it that an artist of more
than ordinary talent had appeared amongst us, wa.t
followed on last Monday evening by his first ap
pearance a.- Macbeth. In outward appearance Air.
W. J. Wallack realises most strikingly the picture
that Shakspeare himself has limned of the bravo
Macbeth, 4 valor's minion' and ' Bellona's bride
i groom,' returning Hushed with victory from the
field of Fife; and we unhesitatingly accept him as
1 the fitting representative of the noble Thane. It is,
however, by his develoneinent of a character that the
actor must, after all, be judged. It is for this ear
lust endeavor of Mr. W. J. Wallack to read .Shak
speare by the unaided light of the genius that shine*
in his glorious works, and to rely upon his own feel
ings and judgment for the right interpretation of
the great muster's deep philosophy, that we unre
servedly commend him. His guides may some
times mislead him, but they more frequently con
duct him in the right path, and never commit the
fault of treading in the beaten track of preceding
actors. \et there is in his acting no violent at
tempt to rush into singularity ? he employs no trick
of voice or action to elicit' the applause of *n un
reflecting audience ? he has no galvanic attitude-',
no guttcral gasping-, no broken growls, no inter
minable pauses und dislocated seatenoe', to fill tho
unskilled with admiration. Mr. W. J. Wallack
belongs, as we have already remarked, to no juir
tieulai school of acting ; he represents neither tho
Kemble, Kean, nor Majready modes of histrionic
art; his style i* essentially broad and simple, rich
in color, and not unpicturesque in effect, llis chief
fault lies in whut may be called the manipulation
of character ? he too often disregards those ilelicatc
traits and nice inflections that give it individuality
and vruitttnUanie.
The ltietin Family have been delighting th?
