I n+.l CL vda► DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MovDkr, APRIL 8. M 97 N 06 94 N Bt N 84 06 103 106 106 IN US 107 104 105 92 04 102 104 197 100 106 107 103 106 105 107 104 106 104 10 90 100 W 98 lx the Horsa of Loses, the Earl of Maoism- BURY appealed to the Marquia of Clanricarde to postpone a motion he had on the paper relative to the ship Tornado, on the ground that serious com plications were threatened between the govenunent of Spain and this country in reference to another case, that of the Victoria, and that if the motion wore proceeded with it might be detrimental to the public interests. Several "constitutional " associations of work ing men in Birmingham and other large towns, prin cipally in the north of England, having expressed a desire to demonstrate to the government their approval of the Reform Bill now before the House of Commons, and to offer their support to the ministry, the Chancellor of the Exchequer appointed yesterday afternoon to receive the representatives of their various organisations. The depu tation consisted of representatives from the following, among other towns:—Birmingham, Portsmouth, Derby, Dewsbury Huddersfield, Batley, Leeds, Coventry, Hali fax, Macclesfield, Exeter, llolbeck, Kidderminster, Lon don, &c. It was introduced by Sir Henry Edwards, Ll'. for Beverley. Colonel Sir H. EDWARDS, 31. P., in introducing the de putation,observed that it was the more significant, because ft represented many towns. Their object was to guaran tee the government their hearty support during the pre sent crisis. - The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then postponed the motion till the first day of the meeting of the house after the Easter recess. The Earl of CLARE` DON expressed his satisfaction at the postponement of the motion. With regard to the case of the Victoria, he said he regretted that such a despatch as that which had been made public should have been published. Earl RUSSELL reserved his opinion with regard to the Tornado, but with regard to the Victoria said it was desirable that no further time should be lost in arriving at a decision. Several members of the deputation having addressed the right hon. gentleman. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was received with loud cheers, said :—Gentlemen, I never had the honour to receive a deputation more interesting to myself than the present one—not only from its varied character, but also from the principal elements that pervade it, though it comes from different districts. I have now placed my self in direct communication with the representatives of working men, and I have heard their opinions on the most important question of the day. I much lament that my noble chief and colleague is not present, but it is a source of consolation to me, and I am sure it will be to you, that he is almost entirely recovered— (cheers)—from his severe indisposition, and that he will very soon fi nd him • self again in his place in the House of Lords. I recall the circumstances under which the present administration acceded to office. The late government, in a parliament under their own auspices, supported by an overwhelming majority, chose to deal with the question of parliamentary reform ; end with all thou advantages in their favour, they so managed the business that they gave it up at the last—(laughter—absolutely in an ebullition of pique-- that pique really meaning a self-consciousness of incom petency. (Hear, hear.) Under those circumstances, her Majesty summoned Lord Derby to her councils. He took office in a parliament not elected under his auspices, but where a great majority was arrayed against him. He was perfectly free when he acceded to office not to deal with parliamentary reform. There were many other questions of very vital importance to the country which had been too long neglected, which he felt required legisla tion and the immediate consideration of the ministry. He and his colleagues therefore gave them their meet intimate and moat sedulous attention ; and in the Queen's speech you saw the enumeration of the measures which we believe necessary for the welfare of the country, which should be proposed and carried. lam sure, however fierce and hitter has been the opposition we have encountered on the ques tion of reform, no one has presumed to express a want of confidence in the existing administration. (Hear, hear.) During the time we have been in office the external rela tions of this country have been in a most critical and peril ous state—no government has, perhaps, ever been called upon to deal with those circumstances at a period when there was more danger, and when more skilful manage ment was required ; and I am bold to say that the general conviction is that our foreign affairs have been managed with a rare sagacity. (Cheers.) If you look to another most important branch of administration—viz. that of Ireland—why, Ireland unquestionably has not been Anse the commencement of this century in a position of such danger and difficulty as it has been during the whole period and duration of our governmennt. Yet is there any one who has impugned the administration of Lord Derby` On the contrary, is it not universally acknowledged, even by our opponents, that there has been shown the utmost vigilance, the utmost foresight, the utmost preparation to meet all the conspiracies that are per petually breaking out iu that country with firmness, but never with an approximation to cruelty? I will say that the conduct of our foreign affairs, and the goverment of Ireland by Lord Abercorn and Lord NAM, are alone two great results which should entitle the ministry to the candid consideration of the country. I will only touch upon another division of our administration, because it always interests Englishmen to hear of the ad ministration of their finances. We were bound to make great preparations, and to enter upon great expenditure, not in makingan idle show, but to create an army of reserve to maintain our position at home and our influence abroad. Yet, notwithstanding that inevitable increase in the ex penditure we have so increased our finances as to be able to propose measures that will greatly reduce the burden of this country, and also offer an immediate remission of taxation, and none of those measures—which will shortly be passed— have evenbeen opposed by those who sit opposite to us. There is therefore not one of our opponents who has impugned our administration. Some of you have referred to the measures shadowed forth in the Queen's Speech. Two of the great measures proposed have already passed, although only a few weeks of the session have elapsed. We passed a measure to consolidate the confederation of our North American Provinces, one of the greatest facts of that kind which have ever been consummated, and we have Cora plated a reform of the metropolitan workhouses. (Cheers.) Therefore, I am not surprised that no one of our oppo nents has presumed to propose a vote of want of confidence. (Hear.) What, then, is this measure in which we find so much opposition and difficulty? This is the state of affairs : that, though not bound to deal with the question of reform, Lord Derby, taking a large view of the situa tion, and foreseeing the difficulties which might hang over this country in the future, deemed it his duty to make an attempt to settle the question ; and having determined to do that, he resolved to do it on a permanent principle. (Cheers.) He considered the question on a large stile—to bring about a settlement that would be approved by all the sensible and patriotic subjects of the Queen ; and he propounded a measure that was large and liberal in its con ception, and also in the application of its principles. (Cheers.) I say that it was founded upon the right and the only principle. Now referring to the point to which your observations have mainly led, to the most important point, the borough franchise—it was founded upon the only sound principle upon which that franchise could be hued. It gave the electoral vote to every householder who was rated, and who personally paid their rates, and who, by adequate residence, showed themselves to be in possession of those civic virtues which entitle (hem to a voice in the representation of the country. It was indeed the restore ti on of the old constitution of the country. It gave back to the working classes those rights and privileges of which they , were deprived by the Reform Act of 18:12 ; it seeks to break down that barrier between the people and their natural rulers. (Cheers.) You may rest assured that we shall be firm in adhering to the great principles of the measures we have brought forward. (Loud cheers.) Nothing for one moment would make us hesitate in that determination—(cheers)--nor have we ever for one instant, despite all that has been said to the contrary, hesitated in that resolutiou—(bear, hear)—and I am bound to say that in the House of Commons,asat presentexistiug, we have found on the whole a generous and candid reception. We believe there is a sincere desire in the majority of the house that some measure shall be passed adequate to the occasion ; and although we may encounter opposition from some quarters, we feel confident that, from the general character of the House of Commons, justice will be done us. Rut at the last moment, when we have carried the second reading, an opposition is threatened of a very different character—an appeal is male to the most con tracted party feeling • the application is made of the moat factious party t:actics, in order to defeat the pro grem of the measure, and that, too, under the hypo critical pretence that the amendment is brought forward in a friendly spirit—an amendment indeed of a friendly character, which strikes at the very root and cardinal principle of our measure. (Shame, shame.) And by whom is this to be brought forward, or rather counselled and stimulated! If it were by one hon. gentleman—no doubt distinguished by sonic amount of ability, and enter taining the noble ambition of taking the place of Lord Derby —we could very well understand the motive ' • but you must recollect that this manoeuvre is invented by one who has, as a minister, had every advantage, who has had the golden opportunities which we never enjoyed, who was himself in the parliament elected under the auspices of his own party, but who has with all those advantages so mis managed business as to have proved himself perfectly in competent todeal with tbe question. (Cheers.) He isnot the rivalweoughttoenoonnterunderthmecircumetances. When Lord Derby end his 00l leagues brought forward this measure at very great sacrifices—when that measure was received by the House of Commons in a spirit of generous candour—it did not become a statesman who in this very parliament had failed in inducing the country to respond to his measure—l say it does not become him to be the means of thwarting in this way the government bill. For if he does succeed, the question of reform may be postponed for years. Great confusion may arise in the country, and his success will be most detrimental to the monarchy, and moat pernicious to the nation. But I what makes one hope that ho will not succeed in this pernicious effort is the presence in the House of Commons of men like yourselves to-day, and in witnessing the patriotic spirit which animates you. (Cheers.) I shall tell my col leagues of the reception I have had from you, and of the manly sentiments you have expressed as representing some of the most important towns and communities of the country. And when you go back to year homes, tell your friends and neighbours that the hour may arrive—and that tee shortly—when we must count upon the energy and public spirit of all of you. (Loud cheers.) Let not the appeal be made in vain—(cheers)—and if it is success ful you will do much more than support a ministry —you will save a nation. (Prolonged cheering.) The Vice• President of the Birmingham Association ten dered thanks to the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy and attention in receiving the deputation, which then withdrew. The Oyster Fisheries Bill and the Mutiny Bill passed through committee. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 6 o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS.—DIONDAT, APRIL 8. lx the Horse of Comm°Ns, Mr. LOCKE referred to the notice of motion given by Mr. Coleridge, to be brought forward on the order of the day for going into committee on the Representation of the People Bill, and asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if he would agree to the first part of the resolution, " that it be an instruction to the com mittee that they have power to alter the law of rating," provided that the latter part, which in structed the committee to relieve occupiers of tene ments below a certain value from the liability to personal rating, with a view to fix a line for the borough franchise at and above which all occupiers shall be on the rate and hare the vote, be with drawn. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had not been able to fix any definite meaning to the latter part of the resolution. Ho was willing to adopt the former part. Mr. Cot.eatocs said he had no desire to adopt any course which would lead to a change in the government. He should consider it a great calamity if they did not pass a Reform Bill this session, and as the proposition involved in the latter part of the resolution could be brought /or ward in committee, he was willing to withdtaw that portion of it. The first part of the resolution, " That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to alter the law of rating," was then put and agreed to, after which . . . . - Sir R. ffavretrrtsv moved "that it be an instruc tion to the committee to frame clauses for the more effectual prevention of bribery and corrup tion at elections." A short discussion ensued on this motion, in the course of which several members referred to the in timidation practised at the Waterford election. Mr. GLADSTONE said he thought it would be more convenient to deal with the question of bribery and corruption by a separate measure, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that he had a measure ready to be introduced. The mo tion was then withdrawn. Captain HATTER moved a resolution to the effect that boroughs having a less population than 10,000 persons,and from which the second seat shall be taken, hall be increased to that number by having added to them a sufficient number of inhabitants from the surrounding district, or from one or more neighbouring towns. Thu CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not pre pared to support the motion, as he did not think it could be adopted without its being carried to a greater extent. It would lead to electoral districts, which should be avoided as much as possible. The motion was negatived. Mr. P. &ROPE then rose to address the house on a motion of which he had given notice, but which by the forms of the house he was precluded from moving, to the effect that occupiers of a cer tain value be wholly exempted from rates, and that householders above that value shall alone be en titled to vote, and shall have the vote whether they are rated in person or their rates are com pounded for. By adopting this principle he con tended they would give fixity to the franchise. Mr. H. BERKELEY followed with a speech in favour of the ballot. Mr. Goiter said the debate on the general prin ciple of the bill, which it had been anticipated would have lasted till Easter, had collapsed in a most unexpected manner, and in order to give members an opportunity of expressing their opi nions on the principle of the bill, he moved that the debate be adjourned. The Cnsweatwa of the EXI'HEQUILIL hoped the hon. gentleman would not press his motion. He expressed his deep sense of the generous manner in which the government had been treated by the house on the question. Mr. B. OriBOUNS complained that they were about to go into committee on a bill the principle of which had never been discussed. Parliament had been bamboozled, and they were going into committee on a bill which he believed no ten mem bers in their secret hearts approved of. This bill was like many of his acquaintances—the more he knew of it the less ho liked it. It was a bill founded altogether on false pretences. It professed to ex tend the franchise, while in reality it restricted it. It was a bill to throw dust in the eyes of liberal members, and had put salt on the tails of 48 mem bers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had fished on both sides of the stream, and had caught some members with one bait, and some with another. Some members thought the right hon. gentleman was the veiled prophet of democracy, but they would find that he would use them only to serve his own purpose. He exposed the inconsistencies of the members of the govern ment, and expressed his regret that Mr. Gladstone had not tested the opinion of the house by forcing on a division. Sir S. NORTHCOTE defended himself from the charge of inconsistency, and said the rating fran chise was in no sense a substitution of the rental franchise, but an addition to it. If they struck out the provisions for personal rating and residence, he for one could not be a party to the measure. Mr. ALLEN expressed his disapproval of the bill. Mr. B. HOPE supported the motion for adjourn ment. Mr. Lowe taunted the government with political immorality in bringing in such a bill. The house was asked to go into committee on a bill which no party approved of, under a government which had not the direction of the bill, and a leader who had not the confidence of his own party, and ho asked whether they could hope for anything but disgrace and failure by proceeding with such a bill under such circumstances. After a few observations from Mr. M. CHAM BERS, who said he would accept a bill from any side, but who warned the government that this bill would not be a settlement of the question ' the house went into committee on the bill, a nd after agreeing to the question " That the preamble be postponed," the chairman was ordered to report progress, and the further proceeding on the bill was adjourned till Thursday, and subsequently it was arranged that it should be the first order on that day, the Bribery and Corruption Bill being the second. The report on the National Debt Acts was brought up, and a bill was directed to be brought in founded thereupon. The Fortifications (Provision for Expenses) Bill was read a second time. The Marine Mutiny Bill passed through com mittee, and was read a third time and passed. The Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act (1851) Amend ment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Chester Courts Bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned at 5 minutes to 10 o'clock.

An extraordinary general meeting was held at the London Tavern yesterday to confirm the resolutions at the extraordinary general meeting on Bth March M a t ai L d first, for empowering the council to purchase and extin guish not exceeding 13,813 of the new shares of the com pany issued in pursuance of the special resolutions of the company passed on the 31st October, on which (after de ducting the sum of 2/. per Share ;eturned to the share holders in pursuance of the resolution of the 31st of December, 1860 71. per share has been paid up ; such pur chase to be effected at the price of 3/. 10a. per share, pay able at such times and by such instalments as the council shall think fit, but subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed ; secondly, for approving and adopt ing the agreement of pith March, Der, between Messrs. Ross, Saunders, and others, the holders of the said new shares, and Mr. John Cater (a trustee for the company), by which agreement such shales are made ex changeable on certain terms for original shares of the com pany ; and thirdly, authorising the council for the pur pose of carrying out the first resolution to invite tenders from the shareholders for the sale and surren der to the company, for extinction, of the before-men tionedl3,Bl3 new shares at the price itated. A number of other resolutions were included, but all of a formal character. Mr. LtaxiNG, the chairman, having moved the con firmatory motion, which was seconded by Mr. GHENFELL, Mr. Itoiticiiitin opposed the confirmation, on the grounds which he had explained at the former meeting, and read an opinion he had obtained from Mr. Roxburgh, q.c., to the effect that the proposed purchase and extinguishment of sham was illegal and invalid, and might be stayed by a bill in chsnoery, and advising the dissentient shareholders formally to protest against the proceeding. He had done so by letter, and he now did so verbally. Mr. Knit; pointed out that the only part of the consti tution of a joint stock company that could not be altered without • reconstitution of the company was the memo randum of association, and that memorandtun did not take into account these 13,1113 shares, which bad been created subsequently. There was no reason •hy they should alter a decision which had been carried by a majority of 74 to 1. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN added that bad Mr. Borkhcim's views been acted upon the question now would have been, not whether they should distribute this capital among the shareholders, but whether a call should be made. (Hear.) Mr. GoiwitEr gave credit to Mr. liorkheim for having greatly benefited the company. The resolutions werecarried by 37 against 10, hut as they were not unanimously confining, a formal poll was taken, but without altering the result. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. The report of the directors to the bond and stock holders, and statement of the revenue and capital ac counts for the half.year ended :11st December, 1866, have been issued. The grow, receipts upon the whole under taking, including the Buffalo and Champlain lines, have been 719.370/. ; deduct the ordinary working expenses (being 57.49 per cent.), 413,11181., leaving a balance of 305,762/. ; deduct the proportion of renewals of the per manent way and work', debited to revenue, 72,:er2/., leav ing an available net balance of 233,370/. This amount, to which hu to be added the balance from last half-year, viz., 200/., in all 233,5711. Is. 8,1., is thus disposed of:- For amount of postal and military reuses for half-year due to the holders of postal and military bonds, 20,7r_t. 941. ; discount on American currency, 61,8281. 6s. 10d. ; interest, kc., paid on lends, 1,6601. Bs. 10d. ; interest on mortgageto Bank of Upper Canada, 4,4231.165. 2d.; interest on loans, hankers' balances, promissory notes, European exchange, Ste., 2,8291. 9s. ; together, 70,7424 Os. 101. ; less interest on bonds in hand, 9,212/. 18s. 9d; interest on British American Land Company's debentures, 616/. Ss. 9d. ; interest on Montreal Seminary debentures, 6161. ; interest on Island Pond debentures, 2,700/. ; half-yearly instalment on Portland Sinking Fund, 2,3111. 12s. 101; to Atlantic and St. Lawrence lease (in full), 32,785/. 11a. 81. ; Detroit line lease (in full), 11,250/. equipment bond interest, 10,779/. Os. 01.; Montreal and Champlain Railway Company's proportion, 11.859/.48.8d.; Buffalo and Like Huron, 19,721 R. 14a. ; together 174,100 e 12s. 3d. ; leaving a balance of 58,680 e 9e. 5d., which will provide for a cash ilividend on the lit l'reference Bonds, and leave a balance of 325/. 17s. tel. to be carried forward to next account. This dividend will be payable on and after Monday. the 22nd of April, and certificates for the arrears of interest to be capitalised on the 2nd Preference Bonds and on the 3rd and 4th l'reference Stocks will, under the terms of the Act of 1862, be subsequently issued. The increase in the aggregate receipts for the half-year, as compared with the same period in 1865, is 4,590/., the total revenue being the largest yet received in anyone half-year. The decrease of net revenue is caused by an increase in loss on currency, an increase in legal charges, the debit of a sum due under award to the Brantford Car Company, and a larger outlay in the locomotive department for new engines and cars to maintain the existing stock in an effi• cient state. The two last items, together about 16,000/., account fur the increased working expenses. Again, in appropriating the net revenue, 5,3.73/. have been paid to the postal and military bondholders in excess of the sum due to them in the corresponding half of 18esi. This has arisen from increased receipts for the conveyance of troops and stores arising out of the Fenian raid. The receipts from passenger traffic, mails, &a., show an increase over the corresponding period of 1865 of 5,1651., or 1'67 per cent. ; but the merchandise receipts show a falling off of 4201., or about 010 per cent. This diminution of revenue in the freight traffic is entirely in live stock, and is in con sequence of the United States tariff laws which came into operation on the repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty. The lire stock receipts in the corresponding half of 1865 were 36,0111., whilst those for 1866 were only 16,333/. The ordinary goods traffic, therefore, shows an in crease. The average receipt on passengers per head was 7s. 21, against 7s. 101. in 1865, and the average receipt per ton was 15e. 1 ld., as compared with 15a. td. in 18(s 1 e The amount of loss on the American currency for the half-year is very heavy, being the largest, with one ex ception, yet sustained. The total loss since June, 1862, now amounts to Z 90,384/. ; the loss for the pest half-year being 61,828/. The bond and stockholders will not fail to perceive that the enormous loss entailed by this wholly extraneous cause has altered the entire aspect of the recent finances of the company. Mr. Brydges' report, i appended to the report. contains a more full explanation as to the losses sustained in the conversion of the American " greenbacks " received by the company. The amount expended out of revenue in renewals of permanent way, from 1862 to 1866 inclusive, has been no less than 621,5431., and of the extremely large expenditure of the past half-year, viz., 97,391/. 16e. Id., the board have ' , charged 25,000/. to capital account. The debit for stock of stores in hand has been reduced from 245,4191., the amount in December, 1865. to 202,3571., at 31st Deccan ber last. The reciprocity treaty with the United Stake ended in March, 1866. The full result/I of its repeal have, however, been more apparent in the past half-year. and while the local traffic has kept up in a very satisfac tory manner, the interchange of traffic between Canada and the United States has suffered. Much of the traffic of Canada, which wed to pass into the United States, is now turned to the Maritime Provinces, and this diversion will largely increase, now that confederation makes all the provinces one country. In the process of transition a less profit on the work done has, however, been earned ; the traffic obtained having, fur the time, been of a less valuable character. So vast a change must necessarily bring temporary loss and disturbance, which time only can remedy and repay. All accounts with the govern ment of Canada, and with her Majesty's govern ment, are now settled and dispose d of. Parlia ment having passed the measure confederating into one united country the heretofore separated provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick an early measure of the new government will be the con struction of the intercolonial railway. Looking to the heavy loss which Las, during the last five years, arisen from the condition of the American currency-to the pressure of the excessive outlay for renewals of the per manent way-to the impossibility of the railway cueing even the amount of revenue now become obtainable, with out an increasing quantity of rolling stock, and to the realisation of the expectations so long formed of the con struction of the Interculonial Railway, the board consider that the time has arrived for maturing a plan under which the progress' of the traffic and the resources of the under taking, now destined to become an integral portion of a great continental highway, eliall be fully kept pace with. They will be prepared at the meeting to lay their recommen dations before the boatd and stockholders for discinsion. Any further legislation required will give an opportunity for obtaining power in reference to the general capital account, and if thought fit, as to the conversion of the postal and military bonds also. The bunt refer the bond and stock holders to the report from Mr. Budges the managing director, and to call attention to his explanations, based upon setual knowledge and experiment, in regard to the additional traffic to be obtained. Mr. Brydges is fully justified in laying strew on the fact that, in five years, 1861.6, the traffic has increased 471 per cent., or from 17,7001. to 26,092/. per week. (loch a rate of increase i• almost without example. The board requested Mr. Brydges to conic to England, foreseeing that the carrying out of confederation would necessarily involve the conside. ninon of the questions now under discussion, and also because friendly interviews have recently taken place between deputations from the boards of the Grand Trunk and Great Western of Canada Railway Companies, and propositions fora more cordial and complete interchange of traffic have been discussed. It is to be hoped that these discussions may lead to some practical issue. Mr. Bryftwi will attend the half-yearly meeting, ready to afford any information which the bond and stock holders may desire. - [Advertisement.]—HotLowAir s PILLS AND OINT meNT.--1111ionstlems.

Mr. Streight said that this prosecution wu instituted by direction of. the magistrates of Surrey. The prison er came forward as a witness to the character of a pence who wu charged with felony, and she swore that she had known this Iberian, and that she was living with h er at a time when she was actually in prison for another offence. The prisoner was cautioned by the magistrates and quested to be cantious in what she swore, but she p er . slated in her statement, and she appear ed think that she was not guilty of perjury because she had nut kissed the book. The Recorder made some inquiries about the prisoner, and deferred passing sentence. The Common Servant was engaged during the d a p i n trying prisoner' for pestling counterfeit c o in ; the cues were of the ordinary description. THE CARE OE COLONEL NELSON AND LIEUTENANT Contrary to the general anticipation, it appears that the promoters of the prosecution against these gentleinea do not intend to prepare the indictments against them themselves, but have given instructions to the officers of the Central Criminal Court to do so. The indictments will be in the usual form, and will merely charg e th e de fendanta with the wilful murder of Mr. Gordon, 4 Jamaica, within the dominions of her Majesty, and th ere will be a second count alleging that the defendants wer e apprehended within the jurisdiction of the Cru m !

The building was densely crowded with spectators. The horse-tamer WA about to commence to manipulate the irritable brute, but before any result could be achieved the latter made a sudden bound from the hands of his owner, who let go the bridle, and sprang wildly into the circle among the audience. A scream of terror rose from every part of the house, and this had the effect of still further maddening the infuriated animal, who struggled and pranced from one circle of seats to another among the thickest of the spec tators, till he reached nearly to the roof of the circus. At this point the flooring gave way right above the cages where the lions are kept, and the horse fell through, calm ing with him a number of the spectators who could not get out of the way. A cry was raised that he had Wien directly into the lion's den. Some inconsiderate person shouted at the top of his voice, "The lions are loose which produced an unparalleled sensation among the audience. The portion of them who were nearest to the dreaded spot made a rush for the other side of the house in the direction of the dress circle, and the fear that the flooring there was about to give way, together with the knowledge that the black lioness and the leopard were immediatelT beneath, caused an excitement wild beyond all description. The doors were at last thrown open :ad the crowd escaped with few injuries. The alarm about the lions proved untrue, and when the excitement had subsided the professor tamed the horse, which had “ho escaped serious injury.—Bodon Adrertiar.
