PARISIAN Tutairsicais.
M. Scribe's comedy Uric Chaine which made so great a sensation when first brought out in 1841, has been revived at the Theatre Fran- cais- The passion for speculation' gravely treated by M. Ponsarcl in La Bourse, has been jocosely satirized at the Yarietes in a one-act vaude- ville by MM. Lubize, Clairville, and Siraudin, called la Bmerse ale Vidage. Three cooks may be considered many when the measure of broth does not exceed a spoonful. In a new piece at the Ambigu-Comique, written by M. Elie Sauvage, the Empress Catherine II. is represented as the jealous but magnanimous rival of a young lady of her court, who like herself, falls in love with a Russian Adonis named Momonoff. The title of the novelty is be Nou- veau Favori.
Madame Guy Stephan, once a favourite danseuse at Her Majesty's Theatre, is the heroine of a new feerie called L'Oiseau de Paradis, re- cently brought out at the Gaite. The scene is laid in India ; and the lovely being, who is the result of a sort of Frankenstein operation, is supposed to combine the qualities of a woman and a—bird. MM. Gabriel and Michel Masson, the authors of the work, have not wandered for no- thing into the laud of metempsychosis.
