PARISIAN THEATRICALS.

A piece in three acts, by MM. Leon Battu and Jaime file, has been produced at the Vaudeville with the title Lucie Didier. The plot is of the unpleasantest kind. A wife, whose husband has committed a breach of trust, sacrifices her honour to purchase the silence of a villain who knows the fatal secret, and then she dies of a broken heart. This singular martyr to conjugal devotion is represented by Mademoiselle FargueiL

On Tuesday the annual banquet in honour of Moliere took place, under the presidency (as usual) of Baron Taylor. The guests were one hun- dred and twenty in number, and included many dramatic and histrio9/0 celebrities.
