 she married the Earl of Derby, who had been long attached to her, but who had been unable to offer his hand during the life of the Countess of Derby, from whom he had long been separated. The new countess was esteemed and respected by all who knew her; and died, deeply regretted, April 23rd., 1829.  FATIMEE, only daughter of Mahomet, and mother of all Mahommedan dynasties, was born at Mecca. In the year 623, she married her cousin All, who afterwards became Caliph. Turkish writers assert that the archangels Michael and Gabriel acted as guardians to the bride, and that seventy thousand angels joined the procession. One of her descendants founded the dynasty known by the name of the Fathemir Caliphs, who reigned in Africa and Syria. Fatimeh died a few months after her father.  Faucit, Helen lady is the most deservedly popular of living English tragic actresses, and has for a long series of years maintained her pre-eminence as such. Sir Archibald Alison, in the volume of his "History of Europe" devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts, gives the following mental and physical picture of her:—

"If powers of the very highest order, united to fascinating beauty, and the most lofty conceptions of the dignity and moral objects of her art, could have arrested the degradation of the stage, Miss Helen Faucit would have done so.

Variety is her great characteristic, versatility her distinguishing feature. Like Garrick, she excels equally in tragedy or elegant comedy: it is hard to say whether her "Rosalind" is the more charming, or her "Lady Teazle" the more fascinating, or her "Juliet" the more heart-rending. Dark raven locks, a fine figure, and singularly expressive countenance, bestow on her all the advantages which, in addition to the highest mental gifts, beauty never ceases to confer on woman; and a disposition marked by deep feeling, alternately lively and serious, sportive and mournful, playful and contemplative, gives her that command of the expression of different emotions, and that versatility of power, which constitute her great and unequalled charm. She has the highest conception of the dignity and moral capabilities of her art, and by the uniform chasteness and delicacy of her performances, does the utmost to uphold it in its native purity."  FAUGERE, MISS, born in the year 1709, in the neighbourhood of Avignon. She was compelled by her parents to take the veil; but, with an utter repugnance to the life of a nun, she strained every nerve to free herself from the thraldom imposed upon her. Ten years elapsed, however, before her efforts were crowned with success, when she received a papal permission to leave the sisterhood. But even then she was looked upon by her family as having disgraced herself and them. She, however, removed to Paris, and from their
