      We believe that the Paris Correspondent of the Telegraph is shortly to be decorated by the Queen of Spain . After the present month he will be known by the title of Don Key-hole .

      We understand that the management of the Gaiety Theatre is about to revive Dryden ' s celebrated opera of The State of Innocence . They have certainly capital materials at their command for the purpose .

      We see by the Weekly Register ( the leading Roman Catholic paper ) , that the Collegians of St Edmund's Old Hall have been celebrating the centenary of their " Alma Mater . " Mild young Romanists should go there—leaving those requiring stern treatment to be sent to the Ushaw ( Usher ?)

      " Why Don't You Write Your Own Criticism...

      " Why don ' t you write your own criticisms ? Davy always did . " These memorable words , spoken by Eva Garrick to Edmund Kean , seem to have sunk deep into the minds of one or two of our dramatic authors . It is rather hard on the readers of certain journals that thes . e exercises in self-laudation are not placed where they ought to be—among the advertisements .

      Those Who Deprecate The Blessings Of Per...

      Those who deprecate the blessings of personal Government should read the account of the arrests made during the late disturbances , and the sufferings endured by these perfectly innocent persons , in number some seven or eight hundred , in the prison . Our own police cells are not pleasant places , nor our own police system very perfect , nor our own policemen very humane and intelligent . But , thank Heaven , such inhumanity as has been perpetrated in Bicetre is impossible in this country even in a workhouse .

      Dr . Cumming has again been playing on that very disagreeable instrument , his own trumpet . He now advertizes the fact that he has written to the Pope , relative to his ( Dr . Cumming ' putting in an appearance at the approaching GEcumenical Council ; where , let Dr . Cumming note it well , they talk Latin . ; As what the world at . present knows of the Great Tribulation-\ ist ' scholarship is not very satisfactory , it would be as well were his friends to offer him a copy of Old Delectus and Henry ' s First Exercises . In any event , however , a presbyterian is not likely to agree very pleasantly with a thousand ' bishops . And as Dr . Cumming has broadly hinted thai ; his . * mission to Rome will be of anything but a peaceful nature , perhaps he would do better to stay quietly in the purlieus of Drury Lane . It is not likely that the Pope will care to listen to his Latin , dog and cat , or—even pure dog !

      What can Mr . Bright ' s friends say for him in excuse of his last offence against good taste and decency 1 It is evident that the injury which such a person does to a Government cannot be compensated for by oratorical skill or by popularity with the mob , be At ever so great . Mr , Bright is a demagogue and nothing else ; he never was a statesman , and he does not promise to become one . He would have made a very fair member . . . . . . ... . . s & 1 i [ Y . i

      of a triumvirate or of a committee of safety , in which Government meant nothing but simple tyranny . He has no idea of consulting the feelings much less the prejudices of others ; and as to responsibility , he has so long been accustomed to use violent language without being properly brought to account for it , that he cannot conceive that kind of sensitiveness which some of his colleagues possess , and which must be sorely tried by the spectacle of such vulgar excesses on the part of one who the public cannot forget is a Cabinet Minister , however completely he may do so himself . Surely the time has come when the Ministry might be relieved of the companionship of one whose only recommendation for such a position as he holds is that he has repeatedly asserted and proved his own utter inability to fill it properly , and has on one or two occasions flattered the Queen . :
