Prompted pro bably by feelings of commiseration, the Grand Cathedral dedicated to the Sucre Oceur, and to be erected on the summit of Mont Martre, a point higher than the cross on the Pantheon, will contain a side chapel exclusively appropriated for the use of the deputies. Space will be reserved for burn ing tapers to the Virgin, in atonement for sins. A good supply of confession boxes would be needed. It is said the Cathedral will be as long in point of completion as that of Cologne; but St Peter’s, like the city where it stands, was not built in a day. Efforts are being made to induce the Comte de Chambord to lay the foundation stone, as was originally contemplated, and in a mo ment when he was expected to occupy the throne of his ancestors as a matter of course. Were he to do so, and a small sum charged to be allowed to see him, the necessary funds might be thus secured to add another new wonder to the world. The military authorities declare the building, being so conspicuous, would, in case of afutme siege, powerfully attract the enemy’s fire ; in that case it might have to be blown up, the safety of the people being the supreme law ; it is strange nevertheless, that while belligerents pray so devoutedly to the god of battles, they have no scruples about destroying the temples dedicated to Him. The theatrical critics have broached an excellent idea, that of having a box or tribune exclusively set apart for them in theatres, as is the case in the Grand Stands and in the Assembly ; at pre sent these gentlemen are treated in a very free and easy fashion, but I am told this is the result of journals not purchasing their places, and so enjoy their independence while securing comfort. The new Opera promises to remain ever new, to judge by the crowds. “ Hamlet” has been produced, the first real opera brought out since the building was in augurated, and it is totally impossible to obtain a place even for money, and love not being current coin has no power. Crowds go to hear the music in “ Hamlet,” for it is a work whose beauties to be understood must be often listened to.
