Rowsla O. lasA—Arl SALIM DA Till =ID. KWH WA= AT LONDON =Del. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29. Title horrible affair at the Victoria Theatre is one of the most frightful results on record of • pa•le tenor suddenly seizing a densely packed crowd in • cootined locality. The general outline of the facts seems clear enough. There had been a crowded morning performance, commencing at one o'clock. The management, with creditable foresight, had prepared for the arrival of the visitors to the evening performance before those of the morning had left the house. They had ac cordingly closed the door at the top of the gallery stairs, so as to prevent either ingress or 'gram till the morning occupants of the gallery should have cleared away. In order to facilitate this operation a aide lobby leading down to the boxes wee thrown open, the stream of people de sesodieg by which would have poured oat at the principal entrance, without interfering with the ascending crowd. As had been exposited, the ga•aine mob of a Victoria Boxing-sight began assembling very early at the doors. Long before the morning performance wu over the gallery entranse was besieged by an eager and ex cited crowd. It was not considered advisable or seemsary to keep these people in the street. They were admitted, and the gallery stair case, which does not appear to have been deficient either in spaoe or strength, but which wee wholly cut off from all available communication with any other part of the house, became densely crammed from the bottom to the top. No doubt the more kind of thing has repeatedly occurred before. Now that this frightful casualty has taken place, everybody will be able to point out, and disposed it may be seri may te blame, the imprudence that could allow so dense a crowd to be wedged for any length of time in a space where accident must be IP likely, and escape so impossible. It seems to have been a little before five o'clock—while the people en the stain were huddled together in a compact seat, rendered denser every moment by fresh arrivals from below— that an alum of Ire was raised in the upper part of the staircase. The precise cause of this alarmism* as yet doubtful ; it appears, however, to hare had some ground in an escape, attended with a slight ex plosioo, of gas near one of the upper landings. Then rose the fatal cry of " Fire!" wildly re-echoed in every accent of agony and despair along the closely packed ranks of that helpless and panic-stricken multitude. What follows can no more be described than the crisis of • battle or the great horror of a ship wreck. The upper crowd precipitated themselves on the lower ; the people about the doors, ignonat of what was going ou above, continued, with the true rut of • London mob for boisterous excitement, to force their way upward and onward. The net result was that whoa, after sea ten minutes or a quarter of an hoar, the polies were enabled to clear • way to the first leading, they found there a confused and motionless heap of bruised and trampled human bodies, among which no less than fifteen were corpses. inch, as far as they are yet known, were the lead ing facts of this very shocking affair, in whisk it does not at present appear that any sae was very greatly to blame. The manager name to have been perfectly justified in taking the steps be did for preventing the ingress of the evening, before the ogress ee the morning, crowd. The money taker and cheek taker would, as the event shows, have doe. nen wisely by not allowing the staircase to bees= thronged so long before the ter mination el the naming performance ; but nobody who has ever witnessed the impatience of anus Bull. on Boxing-night, even at theatres far more select than the Victoria, will be at all inclined to eon. meat harshly on the inability of these officials to resist with proper firmness the pressure from without. The fatal folly of these who inconsiderately raised, se inconsiderately gave may to, the alarm of " pies' is one which will never be eliminated from • mind multitude eomprisiog among its ele ments, as every each multitude doss, the servous, the hysteric•], and the rash. The rapid ceatagion of panic is proverbial. Disciplined armies give way to it. what then can be expected from a ehanweellsesed and unordered mob? The doer keepers of the theatre seem to have done their duty well. They prevented the groundless terror that was so fatal on the thronged staircase from spreading to the crowded house. Had they not bees vigilant in guarding the enlists of the pit, the Sawn ripest might have become general, and the oe•segssnes tenfold worse than they were. It doss not seem eiilierthat there was any very noticeable &feet in the ocasstructioa of the staircase. It was not a dark and narrow spiral, bat a eaccesaisa of straight flights of steps of very tnlerabis bread* provided with balustrades, lit with gas, sad wparatail at no very long intervals by fairly spacious landing& THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVF,N, It may, indeed, be suggested that Um Don- I sequences of the panic miglkt lave boss; far less fearful had some means of oei} Ist existed at each of these landing* into powers communicating with the rest of the bones. At present, however, we are not sufficiently informed as to the plan and general construction of tie Theatre to pronoun, how far such a communi sation was architecturally feasible, or, on other grounds, admissible. It is impossible, however, to allow such a frightful occurrence to pass by without renewing the remonstrance, more than once made heretofore in theme celumns, widest the extreme deficiency of the means provided by the proprietors red managers of some of our great metropolitan establishments for the Nay exit of their overflowing audiences in case of the alarm, or the reality, of Fire. Architects now-a-days are becoming more alive to the absolute neeeseity of attending to this peiet—more desirous of imitating that constructive skill of their Roman predecessors, whose boast it was that the great Vespasian Amphitheatre might in five minutes, by means of its countless vomitories, poet forth in safety its 90,000 spectator% We believe that in this respect the New Covent Garden Theatre leaves little to be desired, sad it is astir factory to learn that, in spite of the greater difficulties caused by the maned apace in which it stands, this all important matter has been attended to with very commendable care in the New Adeiphi. There is one public building, how ever, which, from its gram defects of construction in this respect, must occasionally have suggested, even to the least apprehensive, very uncomfortable re flections as to the possible results of any sudden panic leading to a sadden attempt to escape. Were en alarm of Fire raised in Exeter-hall how frightful must be the ccesequences ! We shall, of course, be told, and we admit, that something has been done— that the peril is not so extreme u it once was— but that is not to the purpose. The real ques tion is whether the peril is not still indefensibly great—mach greater than it need be or ought to be? No one infeereed of the eireumatancee can Imitate u to the mower i and we take this opportu nity of once more earnestly warning those whom it copperas that without loss of time they " set their house in order," ere the occurrence of soon ter rible catastrophe exposes to general indignation the culpable selfuihness that eaters for public patronage without proridmg for public safety. gbe Court.

She brings the Canadian mail, 111 passengers. and Boston journals of the 18th and New York of the 17th. with telegraphic advice' from the latter port to the evening of the same day, l as already announced via Halifax. Satisfactory explanations had been received at Washington relative to the recent trouble with the steamer Washington at Nicaragua, and a number of documents on the subject had been communicated to Congress. It was expected that the Secretary of the Trea sury would issue the proposals in a few days for the remaining ten millions of the twenty millions loan authorised by the lest Congress. The Senate, by a majority of one, had refined to take up the resolution in favour of the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. In the Home notice had been given of a bill to modify the tariff, and impose specific duty on iron and other @Mielea to which that principle can be ap plied.

I think it highly probable that the Paris Con ference will shortly be convoked, not on account of the Danube navigation (for that is a question which the majority of the Powers refuse to re-open) but on account of the affairs of Bervia. The confirmation of M. de don, announced in the dfoaiterr, does not assume the form of an "amnesty," which alone—as all the lawyers are agreed —can, as distinguished from a mere pardon, do away with all the collateral conse quences of a sentence. The defendant, therefore, in spite of what M. Chaix d'Eat Ange thought fit to say, remains in point of theory in a different state from that of a man who had never been condemned. He would be regarded, is a recidivists in cue of a second offence ; sad soma people pretend, but I think they are wrong, that he is deprived of his vote at an election. How ever, the Court of Appeal his relieved him from the only really serious consequent), of the decision of the police court. He is no longer a suspect under the law of public safety; and I have reason to believe that the main object of the prosecution was to hook r him into that category. The pardon will now, of worse, have effect, but without placing M. de Montalembert under any obligation. The time for lodging a pourvoi, to have the judgment revised in the Court of 01111111- %Wl], his expired. The pardon is thereface now legal and regular, which it was not before. All that was said about M. de Montalembert being a " 'm pa. termined martyr" was rank nonsense. He will make no ridiculous clamour to be taken to prison ; be does not now " accept" the pardon, which he wonld have doss bad he refrained from ap pealing ; he simply remains quiescent. The pardon of M. Douniol, the responsible editor of the Correa pendant, which is only now announced, must strike every one as a pure matter of coarse. Bat he has already paid his floe of 1,000 fr., and there is no doubt whatever that in point of law the pardon does not compel the state to return the money to him ; whether, in fact, he will get it back or not is a curious question. The Emperor, while in the pardoning vein, has relieved M. Pierson, the editor of a Lorraine journal called the Revue de la Maw, from a sentence of one month's imprisonment and from 400 fr. out of a tine of MM. which was imposed upon him. There is something grotesque in an imperial pardon leaving subsisting a fringe of a sentence, a mere shred of a tine--a sum of 41. The Univers proclaims its triumph over Abbe De lacouture, the only French priest who publicly pro tested against the infamy of the Mortara ouse, in the following terms : If we are well informed the Abbe Debenture hos ro oked a warning from the seolodestical authorities ea the suited of the letters which be has published cc the Martini odsir, aad more particularly Motive toe parephist whisk be hoe jest brought out on the slums subject.
