HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DA.T.—Morning, 12h. 36n1.—Afternoon, 12h. 58m, To-moaßow.-Morning, lh. 20m.—Afternoon, Ih. 40m, The grand news from America by the Australa sian, is the Presidential proclamation of negro emancipation. That is the light at least in which it is regarded by the American press generally, and also by the press, so far as we have noticed it, \of this country. None can rejoice more heartily than we do in all contained in the proclamation, ,and in all the circumstances relating to its being issued and promulgated, which promise well for emancipation, Yet, as amongst the oldest and steadiest friends to the immediate and unconditional abolition of negro slavery in America, we cannot be se jubilant over this document as some of our con temporaries ; indeed we fear that there is too much ground for the hope of the powerful pro-slavery organ of this country, that it will produce but little effect. Firstly and chiefly, it is too late. Had it ap peared at the beginning of the war, had every seceding State been warned that unless it re turned to its allegiance iwithin a very limited period, since it seceded for slavery, slavery should secede from them, it might have changed the character of the whole war. If the negroes had had authentic evidence that the Washington Go vernment was glad to embrace the opportunity furnished by rebellion for getting rid of personal bondage from the great republic, the slaves would then have given the men who have formed the Confederate armies occupation enough. The poor blacks would then have believed in the sincerity of the North, they would have understood that the PRESIDENT used the first legal opportunity he had to declare them free; no lying fables of their masters could have imposed upon them extravagant stories of how the North would treat them, if the few of their number, who can read, could have told them the plain terms of a Presidential Eman cipation proclamation. The South must have quailed. The North must have been masters of the position almost without a battle. It would have been a far more effectual response to the attack on Fort Sumter than calling forth the volunteers who figured at Bull's Run. We now fear it is too late. It is not " putting the cart before the horse," for the cart has been first suffered to stick first, and now the PRESIDENT, to get it out, puts the horse behind it. However, letting this pass, the proclamation it- ...._ .. _ . self is tainted with an unworthy expediency. ' Surely enough, in all conscience, has been done by the rebels against the Federal Union to warrant the Federal Government, from its own point of view, to treat them as rebels. It has done so in the mat ter of war and bloodshed without scruple, and to the utmost of its power; it has set aside the scon stitution by making war on these sovereign States, and by its suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act w ithout scruple; but it palters, a nd delay, and procrastinates in dealing with the cause of the war. We hear of no ninety days' grace in respect to invasion, blockade, and captures of cities ; but when slavery, to secure the extension lof 'which into the territories is the sole cause \ of secession, is concerned, directly Mr. LINCOLN e and the North seem paralysed. They dare not act will IKentucky say ?" " Can they not be brought back, slavery and all, into the Union r "Yet sixty d ays ”_„ yat ninety days"—is the lan guage of the Cabinet. To the last there is a want of boldness, a " staving off" the question, which argues a reluctance and a feebleness the South will well know how to use. Had JEFFERSON DAVIS - had Mr. LINCOLN'S work to do, and Mr. LINCOLN'S been a free tohuebNtotrhtaht. views of the evil of slavery, we ca nnot d long ere now every slave would hav e le retention man, and a firm and irrevocable friend o t —"Whatlai n e d would measures have o n k t n h o e w s n o b ll j e t i d a o k i i t tg of slaves th a e r premium r i e s m t i h u a m t taint fo r be rewarded by retaining If slave State s lottery will but come in by the l e t of they are to their slaves.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY lIIVENTENG-, OCTOBER 6, 186% intim is to a punishment, slaveholding a reward. We cannot reslish this in England. Emancipation ought to have been decreed unconditionally ; and if any mercy were shown to such a kind of political deathbed repentance, it should have been in the shape of " greenbacks," for those who returned to their allegiance in due time. This, with the de ferring of final action till the Ist of January, we take to be a great blot on the proclamation. The test of rebels' repentance is to be—the sending, by any State, of members elected by a majority of the I State to the Federal Congress. The PRESIDENT also calls attention to the Acts of Marsh and Jul 3 —by the former of which the army authorities, and by the latter, any State or territory are forbidden to return fugitives from slavery to persons claiming them. Some time was permitted, by the PRESIDENT, to elapse before these acts were put into operation—they are now at once to be en 'orced. All generals and other persons, even if ,hey should have pro-slavery leanings, are forbidden :o indulge them in regard to slavery. The drift of :hese two acts is, of course, to encourage desertion of negroes. How will the South receive this proclamation ? They will give up immediately the proposal which had been made in the hour of their triumph to send Commissioners to Washington to treat for terms Since then, they have had to retreat themselves from Maryland, and they cannot now go to the North as offering any act of grace and conciliation. What ever the real character of the battles in Maryland, they have restored Northern confidence too much to allow hope of concessions such as the South would demand, as the basis of peace, while, upon the Northern successes fol lows this proclamation a distinct threat, that disobedience for three months longer is to be followed by an emancipation of their slaves. Though this threat will not do what it might have done last April twelvemonths, it will do something. If it will irritate to the last degree all who have thriven hitherto on the unholy profits of slavery, it will make them fight, perhaps, in many cases with the rage of desperation, if it must to some extent cow them. It may be difficult for the Federal commanders, who hold so many points in the cir cumference of slavedom, to get the knowledge of the proclamation into the plantations and among the negroes—but in time they will do it, those of them at least who are favourable to emanci pation ; and the long continuance of the war must have disposed most of the Generals to do anything whatever which will vex and embarrass their enemies. The obvious course would seem to be, to print the Proclamation by thousands, and to put it into the hands of the negroes who have already escaped in different parts to the Federal lines. These men will have great numbers of their friends and relations, perhaps their own wives and children, still in slavery. They will find the means, with the cunning which slavery teaches, to spread amongst the negro popu lation the knowledge of the fact that on the Ist of January, they are, by the declaration of the PRESIDENT, free men. The proclamation, well used, would be proof of this; and even now, if the Southerns found that their negroes had got firm hold of this fact, they would, after all their preten sions of negro attachment to their masters, soon show that they feared, above all things, the negroes attachment to liberty. If the executive does not take vigorous steps to give the negro population knowledge of this proclamation it will lose the chief benefit of this last and important act. In the North itself the proclamation will cause some division of opinion. The long hesitation of Mr. LINCOLN is doubtless due to his desire to follow rather than to anticipate public opinion. The ori ginal abolitionists were, of course, but a small part of the great Republican party, they have added largely to their numbers, by converts to the ex pediency of abolition, as the only means of termi nating the war : but the pro-slavery republicans, added to the democrats who are all advocates of sla very, must form a very large party in the North. It is therefore certain that there will be a strong party hostile to the PRESIDENT at the ensuing elections. Still we have no doubt that Mr. LINCOLN well knows what he is about in regard to the political bearing of what he has done. His cautious proceedings hitherto show that he has never overstepped the limits of what he might do without hazarding the support of his party ; and it may be safely expected that we shall find him warmly supported before the first of January by all the strength of the Republican party. On the whole, though the drawbacks are so many, we re• joice that the state of parties should have allowed, or coerced, the PRESIDENT to issue this proclama tion. At last—with the bloom quite taken off it by delay—comes forth the Royal Amnesty to GARI BALDI. The Telegram—dated Turin, Oct. 5 informs us that upon that morning, that is yester day, the KING signed the decree. A document which will be officially published to-day in the Government Gazette. The paper to which VICTOR EMMANUEL has thus affixed his signature concedes the Amnesty to all persons in any way concerned in the acts and attempts which took place recently in Sicily and the Southern provinces of the Italian Peninsula. To all, at least with the exception of one solitary class, namely, the soldiery who " de serted" from the Royal army to swell the ranks of the Garibaldian insurgents. At the outset it may be remembered that the rigour with which these so-called " deserters" were dealt with, was described to be something extreme in its pitiless and sum mary character. At first the intelligence ran to the effect that they were tried at a drum-head court-martial, and shot off hand, singly or in batches. Soldiers—that is—known to have abandoned the colours of their Sovereign, and to have been taken at Aspromonte or elsewhere with arms in their hands under the banners of the Hero GARIBALDI. Confidently as this statement was put forth in earlier telegrams, and afterwards store circumstantially in the correspondence of more than one of oar contem poraries, it certainly appeared to us improbable at the first glance, and little less than incredible upon a more deliberate consideration of events actually then occurring. Eventually the truth'came out that these reported executions of the soldiery who had deserted were, to say the least of them, premature. There had been no drum-head court-martials. There had been no shootings in batches or singly of they er been arrestas associated like the th in e the condemned prisoners. Th e m ilit ary w h o were •staken enterprise. And therefore mi t c t h a i civilians elcinoa course s e e w r o e i f t h whom hy had d simplyG Ainana's mo s t placed yb exception should b e t a k en to boon of this am nes t y ( suc h that a s there is left in it ) to the soldie rs as well as the civilians, ca nnot but be sincerel y re g retted under the according hat then the circumstances. So far as the amnesty could be granted handsomely, after this wretchedly prolonged delay and hesitation, it ought eel.. tainly to have been granted now. There is a fatality of bungling, however, about all the doings authorised under the influence of the RATTAZZI Administration. If a mistake could be made in either the time or manner of granting the amnesty it was certain to be made under the malign guidance of that man of all others at Turin who may be most accurately described as the Wrong Man in the Wrong Place—the Prime Minister ! RATTAlll—has so contrived it that both in Time and Manner the amnesty should be spoilt. It adds nothing whatever to the popularity of the KING, his master, either among the people at large or among his own troops—granted as the amnesty is now after so tedious a procrastination, and after all with a reservation shutting out all military " deser ters" from the share of deriving any benefit from it whatsoever. The tidings of the KING having yester- day signed the decree will be perused, we cannot but think, in Italy with a very general indifference. As O'CoNNELL used to say of yore with his derisive brogue—" Thank you for Nothing, says the Galli pot 1" There is the Amnesty at last, it is true. But it is an amnesty awarded too late to have even a show of grace about it. And it makes, after all, this wretched exception we have particularised—the exception from it of all " deserters" from the Royal army. Deserters P Who, we should like to know, are the real deserters—the Bersaglieri, who, under the orders of PALLAYICINI, shot down General GARIBALDI and his son MENOTTI, and so many of his banded comrades at Aspromonte—or the latter, that is, GARIBALDI and his Garibaldians Why the hero and his followers were then taken in arms, it is true, but they were taken in arms crying out to the last, "Italy and King VICTOR EM MANUEL !" They were not against the KING ; they were for him. They were there to maintain at the point of their swords the very cause the monarch has himself all along championed, or affected to cham pion—namely, the Unification of Italy. As if to demonstrate that they more than the KING himself are consistent throughout, the Foreign Minister in the KING'S Government celebrates the victory (P) of Aspromonte by:issuing a diplomatic circular, soon afterwards, endorsing the claim put forth by the man who had, sword in hand, led on soldiers and civilians together (in the KING'S name all of them) to Aspromonte! Again we ask, who are the real Deserters—RATTAZZl and DURAND() ? or GIUSEPPE and MENOTTI GARIBALDI ? Deserters ! Are they the Bersaglieri or the Garibaldians ? It is a most invidious distinction, it is a most paltry exemption —this flaw in the Amnesty : now that it is granted —reluctantly and grudgingly granted. And if the exception be really designed all the while with a view to the maintenance of better discipline in future in the royal army, the blunder is absolutely egregious of its kind. Have we not a very vivid recollection of the attitude assumed by General CIALDINI and General DELLA MARIMBA upon the first mention of any amnesty at all after the affair of Aspromonte Why, those two conspicuous offi cers. standing at the very head of their profession as the leading captains in the royal army—CIAL DINI and DELLA MARMORA being to the army of Italy what NAPOLEON'S Marshals are to the army of France—why, these two principal generals at the head of the army of VICTOR EMMANUEL intimated as bluntly and apparently as resolutely as their loyalty at once as soldiers and as citizens would allow, that there could be no Amnesty whatever. That they would not—almost they went as far as that—permit it. There was a threat, as it might have been called under the circumstances, that they would be constrained to resign their com mand if the Amnesty were conceded by the Sovereign. Discipline could not be main tained, they said, in the army—assassination could not be put down effectually in the Southern Provinces. Yet here, at length, after the lapse of many weeks, the Amnesty is granted, and "no bones broken"—except GARIBALDI'S ! And that ha been done previously. The amnesty cannot repair Viat evil! It can throw open the prison doors of *arignano—but it cannot obliterate the remembrance of Aspromonte. It cannot heal the painful wound of the Hero's ankle—it cannot Booth one tortured nerve—it cannot render fair and consistent the double dealing and flagrant in consistency characterising the whole policy from first to last of the RATTAZZI Administration. At this moment, when the Royal signature has scarcely dried upon the decree of amnesty, we believe that among the majority of Italians Signor RATTAZZI is as much detested as General GARIBALDI is admired —that GARIBALDI is still as popular as RATTAZZI is the reverse. The Respite granted on Friday last by the Right Hon. Home Secretary—staying the Execution of JESSIE NPLACHLIN for the murder of JESSIE NPFHERSON, of which crime the said JESSIE NPLACHLIN was found Guilty, and for which crime she was sentenced to Death at the last Glasgow Cir cuit Court—appears to have been as judiciously as it has been cautiously conceded. The prisoner's statement, while it does not in any way exonerate herself from guilt, or in any way fix the deed of blood upon that old man nearer the age of a nono genarian than of an octogenarian, Mr. FLEMING, the father of the master of the deceased victim—is, nevertheless, a document so extraordinary and startling in every respect, that it would have been rash, it would have been something frightful, to have allowed JESSIE M'LACHLIN to have been executed at the appointed time,without first of all subjecting that remarkable statement of hers to the most rigid and searching investigation. Sir GEORGE GREY has so decided it. The wretched woman now under sentence of death at Glasgow is formally respited by the right hon. baronet until the Ist of the ensu ing month of November. Before which date, ample leisure will have been given to the law officers iu Scotland, headed by the Lord Advocate himself, to place every particle of the Statement under the miscroscopic lens of a severe supple mentary examination. The search after the truth through all the mazes of this singular state ment is now being carried on with unwearied assiduity. The rest may be left—now that Sir GEORGE GREY has opportunely interfered to grant the time that was absolutely requisite for it—the rest may be left (we are satisfied of this) quite con fidently, to the constituted authorities, under the guidance of the skilled and vigilant Lord Advocate. A letter from Dresden, of the 29th ult., states that on the previous day the Prince of Wales attended divine service in the Protestant church in that city, and after having visited, in company with the King, the Here ditary Prince, and Prince George, tho fortress of Koanig stein, dined with the royal family at Pilnitz. On the fol lowing day there was to be a grand hunt and a state dinner at Moritzburg. The Court Journal says :—" Her Majesty is ex pected to arrive in England on the 15th inst. The Queen on her return, will take up her residence at Osborne, where her Majesty will remain until after the 9th of November. His Royal Highm as the Prince of Wales will join her Ma jesty at Osborne, and will spend his birthday with her Ma jesty at Osborne in comparative seclusion. Mr. W. P. Frith (says the Athenceum) is prepar ing another magnificent Flustratioa of modern life, for which he is to receive from Mr. Ernest Gambart £lO,OOO. Unlike "The Derby Day" and " The Railway Station," this new work is to be in three parts, or pictures; each picture representing London life under a particular aspect. "Morning," "Noon," and "Night" are the themes for illustration, and the scenes will probably be laid in Regent street, Hyde Park, and the Haymarket. _ _ - , - CONFESSION OF THE KTRKTIAM MURDERER.- Patrick Cain, in custody on the charge of murdering Mr. Henry Rawcliffe, at Kirkham, has confessed his crime. On Friday night he called Police-constable Fletcher to him and said he must tell the truth—he threw the poker at the deceased, but he did not intend to kill him He expressed regret for the occurrence, and added, " If the y onl y s pare my life, and d on ' t hang me, I shan't care." He said he got the poker out of Jemmy Cain's house—that he had seen it there three years. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA ~_ -~~_. THE PURITAN'S DAUGHTER. There is in the history of every country a period that is peculiarly dramatic. It is an incident of civilisation that there should sooner or later occur a time when powerful passions become excited and great struggles are engendered, and the entire life of a people in consequence becomeo more adventur- ous, vivid, and diversified. Such a time, for instance, was the Spanish invasion of the Netherlands--was the civil war in England—and, above all, was the momentous outburst of the first French Revolution. Each of these periods has accordingly attracted an abundant illustration—in art, fiction, and the drama; and not the least has our civil war, which in its strongly defined contrast of Cavalier and Roundhead, has not only embodied the contending principles of order and liberty, but distinguished them by vivid traits—which present so much of what may be called the prose and poetry of human emotion. Such materials were not likely to be neglected by our novelists and painters, and from the pen of Scott to the brush of Millais—the great event has been brought before us with more or less fidelity to its power and picturesqueness. Until last year, however, there was one direction in which art Lad failed to supply an illustration—that was music. We had novels, plays, and pictures on the events and passions of the illustrious struggle, but we had still to obtain an opera. Those who know how vividly the lyric drama can tran scribe and impress human emotion will readily ad mit that such a want was not among the least of our desiderata. It was felt, therefore, last season that Mr. Balfe and Mr. Bridgman had performed a very welcome service, when on the boards of oar national opera they so ably and successfully sup plied the required enjoyment. Of the merits of their respective labours we can have no occasion to speak now, when they have become so familiar and acknow ledged, and as little of the opportunities which they afforded our leading artists to produce some of the best impressions which have as yet distinguished our native opera. The passionate energy of Mr. Santley—the touching pathos of Miss Pyne and the hilarious humour of Mr. Har rison were each a feature of the performance that was almost as new as it was distinctive. There can be no question that this opera would have achieved one of the greatest possible successes—had not almost simultaneously with its production occurred the death of the Prince Consort, and all public enjoyment been at once checked by what was regarded, and very justly, in the light of a national bereavement. Little wonder, therefore, can be felt that its reproduction on Saturday evening sufficed to crowd the theatre with a highly expectant and intelligent audience. A certain improvement also in the cast tended to distinguish its revival. Mr. Weiss was to appear in the old Puritan in lieu of Mr. Corri—a character whose weight and tender ness overtasked the powers of the latter able artist—and Mr. Rouse was to fill the room of Mr. G. Honey in the rustic Ralph—an assurance that genial merriment would replace a hard con- ception. It is sufficient to say of this performance, that whilst it renewed all past impressions it fulfilled all expectations. Miss Pyne, whose com mand of pathos, in union with refined pleasantry, is as remarkable as the melodious breadth which her voice combines with its facility, renewed her picture of the Puritan Girl with all that depth of tenderness which renders it one of the most en gaging and affecting efforts of our time. Especially was this charm apparent in the finale of the first act, when, in a tone of subdued anguish, Mary repeats the burthen of her lover's song, and echoes his sad wish that death should end their separation. The exquisite pathos of voice and attitude with which she terminates this scene, places it apart from any effort of the kind that we have seen. Equally delightful was her delivery of the lovely caratina—" Pretty, lowly, modest, flower"—one of the most graceful and original con ceptions that has ever distinguished Mr. Balfe, whilst in the air of the last act—"A Loving daughter's heart"—all her tenderness was resumed and, indeed, expanded, to a point that, whether in tone or feeling could not possibly have been Isurpassed. It was a closing triumph that served to rivet the entire impression of her efforts. Mr. Santley also was in full vigour as the youthful cavalier, and, whether in a vocal or dramatic sense, amply sustained the great reputation of his original performance_ His sing ing throughout the opera left not a trait to be de sired of either force or delicacy—whilst his delivery especially of the ballad " Oh would that I had died ere now" won one of those true encores which are as much a measure of an artist's power as of his hearer's gratification. Mr. Har rison was as buoyant as ever as the rakish Roches ter, and gave his drunken scene, if possible, with an increased amount of humour. It is a N ery genuine pieoe of comedy, to which we know no thing of its kind superior. His great punch effu sion, also, "Let others sing the praise of wine," was delivered with a force of merriment which re called all its first impression. In Wolf, the Puritan, Mr. Weiss proved a most important acces sion to the piece. The dignity of his bear ing and expression combining happily with the requisite tenderness which the cha racter contains. His delivery of his opening ballad, " My own sweet child," was only a specimen of his manly and pathetic singing throughout the night. Lastly, Mr. Rouse was a great improve ment on Mr. Honey, in the servant Ralph—not only his singing being most efficient, but his acting having real humour in it, and con tributing not slightly to the relief of the serious scenes. We must not forget either Miss Susan Pyne as an effective little abigail. Of the chorus we must also speak with no diminished commendation, the whole of the Puritan music, and more especially in the scene of the Ruins, being given with a force of expression that was impressive to a degme. The band, we need not say, under Mr. Mellon, had an equal claim to fav our, and the entire performance was so superior that we cannot doubt its repetition will prove com mensurately attractive. BO TAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The preparations for the Great International Fruit, Vegetable, Root, Cereal, and Gourd Show, to commence on the Bth (Wednesday next) at South Kensington, are being made on a large scale. Enor mous applications for space are hourly arriving from the great home fruit and cereal growers and collectors, as also vegetable producers. Indeed, it would almost seem that space is not to be limited, from the demands some are making for it. Nor are foreigners idle. The Federation of the Horti cultural Society of Belgium is sending a large and valuable collection of the apples and pears grown in the country. The Government of Sweden, carry, ing on its principle of steady peaceful advancement has ccntributed a most valuable exhibition, col lected from every known fruit and vegetable producer in its dominions. Norway also contributes. Denmark, too, forgets not to show. A most inte resting collection of every kind of apple and pear grown in the island of Walcheren is on its way. The Austrian Government has shown much into rest in the internationality of the show, and has promised a large contribution. Greece and Syria also contribute. Canada will send of her splendid fruit some prime specimens, but as these do not ripen until late in September it is scarcely possible they can arrive before the laat few days of the show. Nova Scotia and nearly all the North American colonies are contributing cereals or fruits. From Nice a fine collection of maize and also of gourds is promised. A large and fine collection of u pwards of 50 different kinds of this species is also to arrive from Namur. In gourds the society itself is not behind-hand, and will doubtless be able to hold its own against any competitor, u pwards of 150 dif ferent kinds having been produce d this year at Chis wick for this show. From the enumeration of these few countries it will be seen that the internationality of the Exhi bition is undoubted, and we venture to hope that fine October weather may conduce to make it a very great success.

JOHNSTON'S MAPS 01 7HE UNITED STAIRS AND THE SEAT OF WAR. We have much pleasure in noticing these excel lent maps, by Messrs. W. and A. K. Johnston, the Queen's geographers, at her Northern capital. They are distinguished by the clearness and beauty of engraving, for which the well-known maps of the Messrs. Johnston are noted ; and the one just issued is specially adapted to make the recent and present movements of the Federal and Confederate armies intelligible. Our readers must pardon us if we urge the desirableness of their possessing such a map at the present time. We can assure them that, with our utmost efforts, as Editors, to make move ments intelligible by description merely, we often feel that we can hardly hope to do so, unless our readers will look at the principal places, at least, on a map, and comprehend their bearings in rela tion to each other. News rooms and coffee houses, e specially, would find that such maps as these, fixed where all can see them, would be objects of interest and utility also. The maps before us are in two forms; one a separate map of the seat of war, for those who have already a good map of the whole States; it comprehends all that part of Maryland into which the Confederates went, with the portion also of Pennsylvania threatened by them, thus dis closing their whole plan. In the other, this en larged plan of the actual seat of war—which ex. tends north and south from Hampton R oa d s and Norfolk Navy Yard, to Philadelphia and Harris burg, and from the Atlantic totheW est of Mary lannidt—edisstcaotmesb,inbeedingwiathvear3g7ood sized complete guide' in the map of the United present state of the struggle ; and all at the re markably low price of eighteenpence. The m a p s in both forms are well Worthy of extensive public encouragement. LEOTARD A 7 THE CRYSTAL PALACE. While Blondin was in the full flush of his earlier triumphs in this country, astonishing thousands upon thousands by his daring performances upon the rope, Leotard came over to England, preceded by rumours of his fame, to rival by his extraordi nary flights upon the flying trapeze the achieve ments of the great hero of Niagara. Apart from all considerations as to the differing character of the performances of the two artistes, Bloc din enjoyed a great advantage and derived additional prestige from the mere fact that the Crystal Palace was the field of his exploits, that he had all the resources of its di rectors to give him a wide publicity, and so far he held exclusive possession of a theatre which all classes of society could visit without any of those punctilious objections which are so often urged against places of public amusement. But this ad vantage exists no longer ; the Crystal Palace direc tors have concluded an engagement with Leotard for a series of performances—the first of which took place on Saturday. Suspended beneath the central transept were four trapezes, each, we may say, for the information of those who may never have seen a flying trapeze, being composed of two strong cords hanging down perpendicularly, about 21 feet apart, and joined at the bottom by a slight but strong wooden bar, which the hand could easily grasp. These trapezes hang at a distance of 20 to 30 feet apart, above a narrow thickly carpeted platform, at either end of which was an elevated stand, one somewhat higher than the other, bearing a rather ugly resemblance to a guillotine. Standing upon the platform, the upstretched hand of a moderately tall man would. reach to within about six inches of the trapeze bar, and hanging suspended from the bar by his hands his feet would reach to within the same distance of the platform. At four o'clock Leotard made his appearance in the usual acrobatic costume, and as cended the guillotine-looking stand, on which for a moment he stood looking with a careful eye along the row of trapezes before him, and then when the nearest of these was passed up to him by his assist ant, he went off with a mighty swing. Iu the twink ling of an eye he had taken a flight of 50 feet, and in a moment more was back at his starting point, standing as firmly upon his narrow splinter-bar as if he and that had been carved from one solid block of wood or marble. The audience applauded, and away he went again on the same daring flight, and again came back upon the same spot as upright as a dart ; and so on again and again, turning over and over while in full flight, gyrating and tumbling, and tumbling and gyrating for some minutes upon the first trapeze, and then suddenly from that he sprang to the second—which his assistant had put in motion—from the second to the third, from the third to the fourth, and then to the stand at the further end of the platform, on which he planted himself, still and statuesque. Then back he came from trapeze to trapeze, turning himself roand in his progress from one to another, or throwing somersaults, as he descended to the platform, yards away from the trapeze from which he had taken a backward flight. In this way his performances continued for about half an hour, apparently to the lintense gratification of the spectators, who were enthusiastic in their applausive demonstrations. Like Blondin, he appears to be complete master of himself, and by the aid of a strong nerve, a keen eye, and a quick hand he regulates his movements with all the certainty of success, taking his grace ful flights with the ease of a squirrel. Some 7,000 or 8,000 people assembled to witness this performance on Saturday, and there can be little doubt that Leotard will prove a great attrac tion during the term of his new engagement, de spite the fact that Londoners have had a long op portunity of seeing him at Cremorne, the Alham bra, and Highbury. The directors have for some time past been anxi ous to adopt some improved plan for lighting up the Palace during the winter season, and after investi gation by Mr. B.Wood, their superintendent of fine arts, they have decided upon adopting candelabra, similar to those used at the Champs d'Elysee on the occasion of the Empress's fete. These candelabra were lighted at dusk on Saturday with the most brilliant and satisfactory results. At present they have only been erected along one-half of the nave and in front of the great orchestra ; but the con trast between their graceful beauty and their flood of subdued light and the plain gas flare of the old cuneiform piping was remarkable. The popularity of the Crystal Palace has suffered nothing from the competition of the Great Exhibi tion. During the month of September the attend ance has been more than double that of the corres ponding month in former years, and October pro mises to be no exception to the gratifying rule. To amuse the hundreds of thousands who it is anticipated will be drawn to the metropolis by the cheap excursion trains of the leading rail way companies this month extra attraction will be provided. Blondit. wilt astonish and excite by his feats on the high rope, stretched far above the heads of the spectators, or amuse and delight with his graceful and agile performances on the low rope in the centre transept. The great fountains will be played at least once a week, while to fill up the other days Leotard will exhibit his daring trapeze flights across the great transept. The fine orches tral band of the company, and the Handel Festival organ, will daily afford ample amusement for the lovers of music. For those excursionists who may be in town on Friday, Oct. 10, Blondin's benefit will afford a rare opportunity of seeing him in all his varied performances. Two EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENTS. --Two very r D em on a o r h k o a o b , le of a t c h ci e de w nt e s st c no am in e st un er. d r e o r ad t , h l e ast ob n s i e g r h va t, tio a n ndow f h P ie r h: he attended with his usual ability, and in all probability was the instrument in saving the life of one person, if not more. it appears that a Mr. Hicks, a cabinetmaker, in a large way of business, carried on his trade at No. 99, Lon don-road, Southwark, and the occupier of the adjoining house, had placed a heavy chest of goods, intended for ship• runt to Australia, upon the floor of the next house, when the weight of the chest and the extra weight of the men employed on the premises in passing over that particular portion of the flooring in the ground floor caused it to give way, and two men, named respectively John Hicks and Edward Hicks, were precipitated into the base ment, a distance of at least five or six feet, and they quickly became embedded between cases, boxes, and boards. They were soon extricated, but much shaken and bruised, and one man was severely cut in the chest. Dr. Donohoo at tended to the unfortunate sufferers, but one was so seriously injured that he was obliged to be removed to his bed. The accident was caused from the excessive weight placed on the floor. Dr. Donohoo was called upon to attend the daughter of Mr. Parry, the artist and song-writer, of Jurston-street, Westminster-road,was pitched out of a cart whilst proceeding along the road, and falling upon an oyster-shell lying upon o injuries e a r s e t d o re s e e a v e e d r atando muscles u e n f d t h s u e s l t e a g i n a e h d d s e a u c l h f s e T r h i o e u w s sewed up by Dr. Donohoo, but the sufferer remains in a state of great suffering, but unless erysipelas should super vene there is no immdiate danger to be apprehended, THE RANGER OF GREENWICH PARIi.--It is ru moured (says the United Service Gazette) that the Ranger ship of Greenwich Park, vacant by the death of Earl Can ning, is to be conferred on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.
