O^orgfe Oenge, the wall-known vooallBt. We have now to add that 'lua wldow.hu only survived him by a few months. Mrs. George Oenge died July 17th, at her lesldenoe in London, In her tbrty- slxtbyear. Madame Bistort made her apnearanoe at the Leamington The-' atie Boval, July 80th, to a very fine houae, Inolnaing among the vlaltora<many otthe dlatlngalshed tunlUss ot the 8pa and Ittvl-. olnlty. The play waa "Meaea," ana It met with most brUUant suooess. Madame Blstorl reoalvea a perteot ovation at an tie etarlllna and Interesting points. At the oondualen, an imanl-. moua call brought her before the curtain. Madame Bistorti tp- paarance conoludea Mr. Blmpson'a aeason here. On theiatbult,, Qardlner Ooyne, the Amerloan Irlah comedian, and whoso right name la Andrew (tardlner, made hla appeamoe at the Prlnoe of Wales Theatre, Bellast, oommenolng a star en- gagement. In the middle of the performance on the second night, the audience' were aomewbat atartled by the nnexpeoted ItkMlllgonce that the theatre waa aelzod under.a debt decree. The following day workmen were buelly engaged rending to pleoea the wooden walls of the theatre. Jem Maoe'a Olrons waa at Dudley, Eng., on the 28th ulb Jem Haoa waa absent In the morning, but appeared and aet-tolnthe evening with the Tipton Slasher, Smoker and Lead also had an encounter of about half an hour'a duration with the gloves. Frank Drew'a engagement at Dnblln has proved • great snoosis. He will probably return to the Slates in time to appear at the opening ot the Aroh-atreet Theatre, Fhlladelphla. M. Julllen gave a grand concert lately at Leicester, whloh was very poorly attendeo. In conaeqnence ot the great ancoeaa of the Engllah Opera Oompany at Neweaatle-nnaer-Lyme, under the dlreotlon pt Mr. Brookhoiuie Bowler, the company were induced to prolong their 'When the poor rono-danc^, Madame aenevlsv^ lately felltrom the rope In lingland, and in the presence ot thousands ot^ieota- tors, lost her lite, the public, every where aroused by the horror of the intelligence, freely expressed, their opinion tfh theac- oldent, and their deteatatlon at « speoles ot entertainment revolting to decency and aniagonlstio to the beat feelings ot humanl^ and dvUlzatton. Queen Victoria, following the aicUtea ot her noble and womanly heart, baa forwarded a letter to the mayor ot Birmingham, expressive ot her sentiments on the late lamentable event at Aston Park. After eipreaalng her feelings ot honor that one ot her subjects—a female—ahould have been saorUoed to the gratification ot a demoralising taato, her Mtjea^ oontlnues, through her seoretaiy, to observe that, It any prbot were wanted of the demoralising nature of such oihlbltlons,'lt would be shown in the ^termination ot the company "to OMiKnue OitfaUvUia, Oie Mari^, and the SforU iff lAc axatim, after an aenl M' wulaneheln," concluding with a hope that the maglBtraoy ot Birmingham will prevent In future the degradation by such ex- hibitions ot aPark oponed tor the rational recreation otthe people. . An important theatrical decision was lata^ reudend'm Lon- don, in lelallon to a law'sult pending between Mr, LyaU and the Boyid English Opera Oompany. The case was submltled to the managers otthe Haymarhet and Her Majesty's Theatres. The glnlonreturned bvMr. Mspleson is as'follows;—On peraslng e oonttaot mads ostween Miss Fyne, Mr. Harrison, and Mr, Ohaa.

(Signed; J. H. Miplxsoh. Hr. J. B. Buokstone's opinion was that on reading thelaatagreemmt between Lyall and Heirrlaon, and seeing there is no renrence to auytormer agreement respecting the termaot Ly^'a engage- ment with mrrlson,' and also on peruslnR tsimsr asreemeSs, finding that Mr. Lyall had not-sUpuIated agalnat playing two separate parts In one opera, but merely contracting to nng and be uscltal In such representations, I am of opinion that Mr. Hai^ riaon waa perfectly Justified in any case ot emergenoy, to call upon Mr. Lyall to play two distinct parts in one. opera, aa the register otLyall's voice enabled him to play the tiro puts with credit to himself, aa required by Mr. Harrison-nothing in the last agreement, or any other signed by Mr. Lydl, covenanting against his doing ao, (Signed) Jobk B. Buoesiohi. In re- speot of these opinions, the SherUt aasoUlzed the Open Company, and dismissed the action. Mr. Somervllle then' moved tor ex- penses. The Sheriff awarded expenses, but modified them to two guineas, on account ot the Company having sureUee to the extent of the three weeks' salary, amounting to £13 Ids., forfeited by the puteuerl in terms of the regulations. The Dramatic Oollege Fancy Fair, at the Oryatal Palace In Lon- don, on Bttnrday and Monday, July Kllh and a7th. proved a great anccess. AU of the estertalnmenta provUed by the Ccunoll were liberally patronized, eapadally the etaUs, presided over by. the leading metropolitan actresaes. According to local reports, the three.beautlca of ihefdt, were the Misses Eai0eur, Undlsy, and FanbyJoeepha; the two former of the Haymarket Theam, the latter,, the lively unibnUe of the Strand. MrS: Sterl&ig;-Miss Lydla Thompaon, and Mra. Howard Paul netted the largen snma by theb: sales. The latter lady having exhauated all the artlotea on her stall, acid her gloves, then her hair pine, and finally the rlnga off her handa In the cause of the obarl^. It Is said the pnmla'ot the two itya/da amonnted to over a thousand pounds. The protracted and severe anffeilngs ot poor Emma Uviy, the oharming, and tavorlle Parisian dameuie, have terminated at last, and tba event ot her death has oreated a deeper sensation than most eventa do in the most vdatUe and reokleas of capitals. It will be recolleoted that about the middle of November last her arass took fire while she was danolng at a reheaisal, ana ahe haa ever slnoe been lingering in intense suffering. She was yery much esteemea and beloved by all who knew her, andher oharao- ter, which was reproachless, won her the reapeot otthe most Juaidona. As an artist, she occuplea the highest position. Taglloni, the great ianseuw, who waa a long time her teacber. Is taia to have accompanied the presentation ot a souvenir to her with thlB pretty senUment, "Oauas me to be forgotten, hut ao not foriet me." The great teacher followed the pnpll to the grave, as did Auber, theemluentoompour; whosebeautlfalballet mualo eke had eo often and ao well Interpreted. The funeral waa attended bynotlcaithan ten thousand persons—the singers ot the opera sang High Moas, and altogether the event waa one ot the most imposing In lis details ot any that has ever taken place in Paris. Mdlle, LIvry, whose ability and graceful qaaUttes as a dancer were considered by many as second only to Madame Taglloni, had acareely attained her twenty-first year at the time other death. The following account ot the funeral ot Mile. Llvry, the darp taut, is given In a letter from Parla. It will be read with Inte- rest by all claases. The letter saya:—"Day before yesterday the funeral ot M'Ue, Emma Uvry took place. Thla young person waa for the last five years the favorite danwuM at the Orand Opera, admired, loved, almost adored by all who knew ber. On the 18lh bt laat November her dress took fire dnrlng a rehearsal, from which ahe was tearlblly burned, and ever since that time she bos lingered in Intense suffering, until Sunday last, when, having been moved to Neallly for a dhange of air, ahe expired. During tbe whole ot her Illness, bulletins ot her condition were published every tew days, the Parlf Ian public being deeply inte- rested In her. The Emperor sent frequently to Inquire after her. Sbewasnotonlyworghlppedasoneof the great artists ot the dance, interpreting the -passions aa no one haa done since the days of Teguonl and Oerlto, but all her companions and the persons employed abont the theatre were devotedly attaotaed to her. She waa the daughter ot an actress. Her father waa 11 • Baron 0., who abandoned her mother before her birth, ana re- fUaod 16 aolmowlodge her until.she became famous, when he came forward, but waa coldly repulaed \jj hla daughter tor her mother'a sake. She made her first appearanoa on the stage at sixteen years ot age, ana hid not completea her twenty-first year at her aeath. Her funeral ceremonies were attended Vy mem- bers ot the imperial hoosehold, princes, many high tonoUonarios, and all the artists ot the opera, and of the greater number ot the theatres. The church (Notre Dame de Lorette) was crowded at an early hour ot tho morning, and the aquare In front waa filled with carrlagoa and mwses ot people. The church door and Interior of the building wore hung with white cloth draperlea baving upon them the Initials of the dcoessea. High moss was saia, and the "De Prodindls" anng, byalllbealngeisot the Qrand Opera. After whloh ceremonv the oomn, covered With a white sUk poll, was plioed upon a rlonly decorated hearse! The ballet maaier ot the Orand Opera waa moat devotedly attached to her, and plaoed, as ohlef mourner, a wreath ot orange bloisoma as a typo otths purity of her lite, and one ot laurel, the emblem ot hmo, upon her oofBu, Fourteen young girls areaiea In white, with wblte mnalln -veils, walkea on each sloe dt the hearse, six of them hbiaing while ribbons whloh were attoohoa to the > coffin.
