ALaAMBRA PALACE.—Two new ballets, one a pan-
tomimic ballet, called the Pearl of Tokay, and the other a
floral divertissement, called the Watteau Pete, have been
produced at this theatre of varieties. The Pearl of Tokay
has an Hungarian colouring, though the action reminds
us of the old French ballet of The Rendezvous, and the
principal dancers are the Brothers Kindly, and Mille.
Kiralfy whose dancing is remarkable for vigour and
activity. The Watteau Fete is a very pretty
and brilliant divertissement, full of ingenious dances
and evolutions, which include • very graceful
skipping-rope dance by Mdlle. Hamsden. Nothing has
been spared by the management in scenery and dresses to
make these new productions attractive, and all the
scientific aids of lime-lights, "prismatic showers," and
coloured fires have been used for the same purpose. Mr.
Calcott's celebrated "development scene" and butterfly
spectacle, which have been immensely popular here since
Christmas, have given place for a fortnight to the revived
bat masyun ballet, at the end of which period the managers,
aided by the same theatrical artist, who has been literally
starved out of the " regular" theatres, promise one of the
greatest rock and water scenes ever exhibited on any

stage.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION
or SOCIAL SCIENCE—Lord Brougham presided over the
annual meeting of the department of jurisprudence and
amendment of the law, in connection with this association,
held last evening at the offices, Adam-street, Adelphi.
Lozz OF FOUR LtvEn IN THE THAMES. —A truly
lamentable occurrence involving the loss of four lives
happened on the river near London-brifte shortly before
10 o'clock on Sunday night. It appeared that a party of
seven persons, comprising three men, three young women,
and a lad, living at Botherhithe, were returning down the
river in a row boat from Kew. The boat was in charge of
a person who, it is stated, has pawed his time as a water•
man, but is now engaged as a barman. The tide was
running down very fast, which may account for the mennot
having greater control over the boat. As she was proceeding
through the second arch from the City side of London.
bridge, the Eagle Ramsgate steamer, which had juat landed
her passengers at Fresh-wharf, was observed swinging
round with the tide in order to take up her berth in the
pool. The men in the steamer hailed the boat, but the
occupants could do nothing apparently to avert the colli-
sion. The females became alarmed and stood up, and in a
minute or so the boat was swept against the bow of the
steamer and was instantly. capsized. Tho screams of the
young women, who all penshed, are described to have been
truly heartrending. Ropes and life-buoys were thrown
from the steamer, but unhappily the three girls aged re-
spectively 19, Is, and 17, and a man who has left a widow
and a family of eight children, were drowsed. The three
survivors succeeded in getting hold of the ropes and were
got on board the steamer. One of the young women
grasped the life-buoy, and just es a boat was nearing her
she was sucked under a barge and no more was seen of
her. The body of one of the girls—a Miss Sewell—has been
picked up. Another of the females was named Deacon,
whose father is a tradesman in Sotherhithe.
THE FATAL GAS EXPLOSION NEAR REGENT'S
PARK.—Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester resumed and
concluded the inquiry opened at the Bank of England
Tavern, Cambridge-place. Paddington, relative to the
death of Elizabeth Stall, one of the persons killed by the
late gasexplosion which occurred at the private residence of
Mr. Ernest Oembart, N 0.62, Avenue-road, Regent's-perk.
At the conclusion of some further evidence, the jury re-
turned the following verdict: "That the deceased died
from the effects of a gas explosion at No. 62, Avenue-
road, Rftent's-park, such death being an socidental
cause." The jury appended to their verdict an expre •
ion
of opinion to the effect that the gas fittings on the wica-
don were carelessly made and left, but the jury had not
sufficient evidence before them to show that such careless-
ness was the canoe of the explosion.
