amounted to the great sum of £233,561 sterling; that of the two
establishments for the performance of the _regular drama_ amounting
only to £26,600, or not more than a tithe of the whole.

A mask taken upon the face of Jean Jacques Rousseau after death,

purchaser has since refused an offer of 15,000 francs for it.

BRUSSELS

May be said to be next to Paris, the largest English colony on the
continent; and that there are not fewer at this moment than six
thousand English residents there. This is not at all surprising.
Cheapness of living, of education, of amusements--a mild government and
agreeable society--the abundance of all the necessaries of life, of
fine fruits and vegetables in particular, are temptations; though we
pity those who have not the virtue to resist them.
