[This is a fire-and-water farce, taken from the French by G. Herbert

Rodwell, Esq., ending with one element and beginning with the other.

Mr. Power's performance of Teddy, as many of our readers will remember,

kept the audience in one broad grin from beginning to end. It will be

found in Cumberland's _British Theatre_, vol. xxv., with remarks,

biographical and critical.]

_Duchess of Mazarin's Monument._--I read yesterday, in an interesting

French work, that the beautiful Hortense Mancini, a niece of Mazarin, and

sister to Mary Mancini, the early love of Louis XIV., after various

peregrinations, died at Chelsea, in England, on July 2, 1699. Although not

an important question, I think I may venture to ask whether any monument or

memorial of this remarkable beauty exists at Chelsea, or in its

neighbourhood?
