... MADAME CAYALLAZZI BIDS GOOD-BYE TO THE EMPIBE. When the ballet of Alaska is withdrawn, Madame Cavallazzi will retire from the Empire Theatre. At first sight this statement has no more than a personal interest, in which the Empire Directorate, the playgoing public, and the artist are alone concerned;. a little reflection shows that Madame Cavallazzi's retirement must have a serious effect ...
... . East winds that would pierce the hide of a fully grown rhinoceros have filled the stay-at-homes' cup to overflowing during this last few weeks, and everybody who is not task-bound by the Thames banks, or, indeed, elsewhere, is betaking him or herself with all possible speed to the sun shiny, perfume-laden air of the Riviera. The most constant worshippers at the shrine of the dear green ...
... . BY THE REV. GEORGE A. PAYNE Hitherto no public memorial has been raised to the memory of Mrs. Gaskell, whose works are becoming increasingly and deservedly popular. In Cross Street Chapel, Manchester, there is a tablet to the memory of the gifted writer, which was erected by a number of friends, while, in connection with the Moss Side Public Library, Manchester, Mr. W. E. A. Axon is making a ...

... MRS. TANQUERAY AGAIN. When Mrs. Patrick Campbell introduced Pinero to Kennington last week, Mr. Robert Arthur's beautiful theatre was crowded with an enthusiastic audience. The West-End, in the persons of Lady Queensborougli, Lady Edith Douglas, the Austrian Ambassador, Mr. Forbes-Robertson, and others who seldom cross the river, was there and well it might, for I know no West-End playhouse ...
... . I have not often been more impressed by any attempt at philanthropy than by the dinner given on Christmas Eve to nine hundred bond-fide London sandwich-men. As a matter of fact, there were well-nigh one thousand of them before the proceedings were over. The immense King's Hall at the Holborn Restaurant, which has rung from time to time with so much political eloquence, and where I have sat ...
... CITY NOTES. The Next Settlement begins on Feb. 8. Money. The Money Market altered so rapidly that we were not surprised at the Bank Directors, after a more than usually prolonged discussion, lowering the rate to 3½ per cent. The market had forced the position, and, with floating credits at about 11/8 per cent, and three months' bills actually done below 2 per cent., the Bank of England had ...

... . With Goodwood over and Cowes in full course, the gay season at home may really be said to have simmered down into nothingness. The full tide of holiday-seeking began, indeed, quite ten days ago, when there was an appreciable falling off in the Park and those other parts of town where smart folk do most congregate. Hundreds of English have already spread themselves over the Continental ...
... CITY NOTES. The Next Settlement begins on Dec. 12. The Money Market. As we anticipated in our last Notes, the Bank Rate has been raised, and money is commanding a high rate of interest. It is generally conceded that the move of the Bank Directors was a wise one, for, if it had not been taken this week, it must have come before the end of the year, and the way the market has responded is a ...
