he was ready to perform it if it were licensed. It was refused; and the experiment was again tried from Covent Garden Theatre in 1779, but still the offensive passages were not sufficiently erased or softened. A third and a successful attempt was made in 1781: and a letter in the handwriting of Macklin to Lord Hertford, preserved by Larpent with the copy of the comedy, procured its allowance on the stage, and precisely in the form in which it is now acted.

Paganini.

Some time since, Dr. Bennati read before the Royal Academy of Sciences, at Paris, a physiological notice of this extraordinary man, in which he gives it as his opinion, that the prodigious talent of the artist is mainly to be attributed to the peculiar conformation which enables him to bring his elbows close together, and place them one over the other, and to the elevation of his left shoulder, which is an inch higher than the right one; to the slackening of the ligaments of the wrists, and the mobility of his phalanges, which he can move in a lateral direction at pleasure. Dr. Bennati also alluded to the excessive development of Paganini's cerebellum, as connected with the extraordinary acuteness of his organs of hearing, which enables him to hear conversations carried on in a low tone at a considerable distance. M. Geoffroy St. Hilaire remarked that he had been particularly struck with the prominence of the artist's forehead, which hangs over his deeply-seated eyes like a pent-house.

Louis Philippe has ordered M. Alfred Johannot to paint a picture for the Galerie Historique, of the Palais Royal. The subject is the Duchess of Orleans announcing to the people, from a balcony of the Palais Royal, the battle of Hartembek, in 1757.

Mr. Monk Mason, the new Lessee of the King's Theatre, is at present in Germany. From thence he goes to Italy, as far as Naples, and will return through Paris, where he is in treaty with Taglioni, and other popular dancers.
