PAGANINI played, for " positively the last time," at Drury

Lane on Thursday. The house was crowded, and the applause spontaneous and overwhelming. He performed all his favourite marvels, including "The Witches under the Walnut Tree," " St. Patrick's Day," and " God Save the King." "St. Patrick's Day " was exquisitely comical. The enjoyment of the audience burst forth in an irrepressible giggle, and grew into a great shout of laughter and delight. The plaintive sweetness and prayerful fer- vour of PAGANINI'S version of HAYDN'S air " God Preserve the Einperor," and the caressing tones in his execution of " Stance di. pascolar," were indescribably beautiful.
