Hue de la Paix . Lectures on the works of Shakespeare are this season the greatest novelty . M . Emile Deschanel is the bold
Frenchman who undertakes to familiarize his Parisian auditory with the beauties of our greatest poetand to make them understand the spirit
of his great tragedies , as , well as appreciate the variety which seems to the Gallic race generally to be nothing more than want
of unity . The lecturer in question has well fulfilled his task , which the different genius of the English people , and of the English
language from the French , rendered one of great difficulty . Mdlle . Royer has not made her appearance this season among
the talented lecturers at the Rue de la Paix , "but she has come before the public in company just as illustrious .
In several of to-day ' s papers an article from her pen - is announced , on economic subjectsas one of the leading features in this month's
number of the Journal , cles JBconomistes , to which MM . Michel ChevalierWalowski of the Institute , Louis Reybaud , a member of
the same , body , and some other equally distinguished men , have also contributed .
In the musical world the debut of the Sisters Delapierre has been the great event of the month . They are almost in their infancy ,
the eldest not yet having entered her eighth year , and the youngest being still in her sixth . They are plain-featured little girls , with
full , square foreheads , straight , well-marked eyebrows , and for their age , veTy strong features , to which , however , an intelligent
exprestion , and large black eyes , deep and thoughtful , give more attractive power has than inher the mere all that beaut constitutes y of line genius and comp of lexion the hi . hest The
youngest , g orderand the eldest is at least a musical _^ genius . They perform , at the _" Varietes" and the " Theatre Lyrique , " on violins little
larger than a man ' s hand of medium size . Juliette , the youngest , layed a few evenings sincewith inimitable sentiment and
exep cution , selections from the , most brilliant and difficult masters , amongst which were Allard ' s fantasia from II Trovatore ' , Sainton ' s
I / ucretia , and the grand concerto in D major by Beriot . Julie , the eldestacquitted herself witli success in several other equally
difficult , operatic selections ; but she failed to awaken as much astonishment as Juliette , who is a remarkably small little girl , even
for one who is only six years of age .
