Last Friday
night, during the
performance of
the Parvenu at
the Court Theatre a loud explosion was heard. The Prince of Wales,
with great presence of mind, stood up in his box, and calmed the

Born, February 12, 1809. Died, April 19, 1882.
A studious porer over Nature’s plan,

Yet leave him still a leading light of Thought.

And so the house was like the skirt, divided.
“ THEbest thing for Luncheon,” says Mrs. Ramsbotham, “isa
polonaise of lobster and a couple of glasses of Hide and Seek cham-
pagne.”
The most Brilliant Entertainment of the Season.—The
Electric Light Exhibition at the Crystal Palaee, which ought pro
tem. to be called the Edison Light House.
Music.—Miss Sophie Menter has commeneed: we Menter hear
