220 NOTICES AND KVF.NT* OF TH B MONTH. 



The Cafe deFoy has overbid the Cafe de la Rotonde, and obtained 

 the exclusive right of letting out tables and chairs in the garden of 

 the Palais Royal. For this privilege a rent of 40,000fr. per annum 

 is paid to the king, whose private property it is. 



There are now 124 Savings' Banks duly authorised. The sums 

 paid into the Treasury during June, amounted to l,844,000fr., and 

 on the 30th of that month, the balance in the hands of the Treasurer, 

 was 49,897,000fr, 



Numbers are arriving in Paris for the fetes to take place on the 

 27th, 28th, and 29th inst. The amusements will be more varied and 

 attractive than on any former occasion. Besides the usual entertain- 

 ments in the Champs Elysees, the Jousts on the water, Concert at the 

 Tuileries, and gas illuminations in the Place de Greve, the whole of 

 the Champs Elysees will be illuminated by pilasters crowned with 

 ornaments in coloured lamps. A decoration will fill the side of the 

 place de la Concorde, towards the Champs Elysees, formed of painted 

 paper lanterns, rendered incombustible, and from the summit of 

 which there will issue at every part an infinite variety of fireworks. 

 Instead of booths in the side alleys of the Champs Elysees, the whole 

 of the line, as far as the Rond Point, will be filled with shops of dif- 

 ferent forms and designs, painted and ornamented with great taste. 

 An immense frame-work, representing three porticoes, in the style of 

 the middle ages, will be erected on the Place de Greve, about ten 

 feet from the front of the Hotel de Ville ; and at night will be all at 

 once illuminated by thousands of small gas flames, in straight and 

 spiral lines and girandoles, and exhibiting three statues in honour of 

 the three days. Thousands of workmen are now occupied on these 

 preparations

MISERIES OF A BACHELOR'S LIFE. Poor fellow! he returns to his 

 lodging ; there may be every thing he can desire, in the shape of mere 

 external comforts, provided for him by the official zeal of his house- 

 keeper ; but still the room has an air of chilling vacancy ; the very 

 atmosphere of the apartment has a dim, uninhabited appearancethe 

 chairs, set round with provoking neatness, look reproachfully useless 

 and unoccupied, and the tables and other furniture shine with imper- 

 tinent and futile' brightness. All is dreary and repelling. No gentle 

 face welcomes his arrival ; no loving hand meets his; no kind looks 

 answer the listless gaze he throws round the apartment as he enters. 

 He sits to a book alone ; there is no one by his side, to enjoy with 

 him the favourite passage, the apt remark, the just criticism ; no eyes 

 in which to read his own feelings; his own tastes are unappreciated 

 and unreflected ; he has no resource but himself, no one to look up to 

 but himself; all his enjoyment, all his happiness, must emanate from 

 himself. He flings down the volume in despair ; buries his face in 

 his hands, and signs aloud I me miserum !
