" Zelie, ou L'Amour et La Magie.” In addition to some excellently painted scenery by Mr. Charles Marshall, two well-arranged tableaux, and some wonderful effects, particularly that of the trickling waters, there are dances both novel and pleasing. The grand pas des elemens is charmingly illustrated, and is, from its fascinating character, likely to be repeated again and again. Rosati maintains her high position in the choregraphic art; and excellent support she receives from Malle. Louise Fleury, together with Mdlles. Esper (who, as L'Eau, positively imparts a palatable tone to water), Rosa, Lamoureux, and Allegrini, all of whom glide along the stage in form and being closely resembling gossamery spirits rather than common children of earth,

NOTES OF THE MONTH PAST.

The past month has been generally “a damper," and the pursuits of pleasure made altogether under difficulties. Regattas and cricket matches however, two varieties of national sport now just coming into full play, have been duly run off as announced, although in scarcely any instance with their customary éclat. Still some of the yacht finishes have been unusually close and exciting, particularly that on the last Saturday in the month, between The Secret, Zuleika, and Phantom, over the Erith Water, being the second match this season of the Royal London Yacht Club. The great “Goodwood" of rowing men, held at Henley, also last week, was certainly far below the average, although the weather, for a wonder, was all that could be wished. The Grand Challenge Cup went again to Oxford, who had it all their own way, Cambridge making little or no claim this season, and the eightoars, in fact, being generally wanting. That terrible “bogy,” the coming election, which is to take ambitious Commoners from “Lord's," and critical connoisseurs from Lumley's ; to thin the Lewes Grand Agricultural Show, and even threaten Goodwood, bas already been proclaimed-in conjunction with a moistish atmosphere of course--as the great first cause of all this coming depression. Even the fine weather could not overcome it at Henley, while too many other gala days of different degrees, from Chiswick to Cremorne, have been got through without any such assured attraction of sunshine.

A word the other way tells us that the promise for the trigger is opening well, from the moors particularly; though no one ever yet heard of a bad report from our canny friends further north. In despite of this, some good kennels of dogs have been brought to the hammerLord Sefton's pointers, Captain Penrose's setters, and later still Lord Derby's lot, embracing both breeds. They went as follows:-, SETTERS.

The wonderful challenge we inserted in our last number, about the young lady hunting her hounds, riding races, steeple-chases, DickTurpin feats on the road, and so on, for nobody knew how many thousands aside, has ended in smoke. Not for want of acceptances, but rather quite the reverse ; the young lady---with great good taste, as we take it declining to exhibit : but surely this should have been ascertained previous to so terrible a flourish of trumpets. The lady referred to, as we hinted last month, is now admitted to be Miss Reynolds-an accomplished horsewoman indeed-and the gallant gentleman who threw down the glove so unceremoniously for her, a Mr. Smith, Captain Smith, or Major Smith, as the case may be,
