ALARMING INCIDENT AT THE ALHAMBRA
PALACE. —Last evening there was an occurrence of an
alarming character during the performance of the ballet
at the Alhambra Palace. It appears that while Mr.
liolossy Kirally was engaged in performing a jumping
dance in the ballet of the Peart of Tail'', in the set of
jumping oil' a stool, he rolled over on to the footlights,
notwithstanding they were protected by a brims rail
about a foot high. The danger of Mr. Kiralfy's peels
tion will be more readily understood when it is stated that
according to the part he was acting he was bound hand
and foot in folds of light coloured muslin. The foot-
lights at the Alhambra being in a kind of sloping Te•
ass from the stage, his position was all the more dan-
gerous. In an instant he was enveloped in flames, and the
excitement throughout a crowded audience at this moment
was intense. By the assistance of the leader of the or-
chestra, Mr. Kiralfy was pushed back on to the stage, and
some of the ladies of the corps de ballet with groat pre-
sence of mind immediately stamped out the flames, and
Mr. Kiralfy was enabled to resume the performance
amidst enthudastic cheers.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S Touß.—Tho President
and his party continue on their extraordinary pilgrimage,
the incidents of the journey furnishing rare entertain-
meet to those who can overlook the terrible sadness of the
spectacle. The florid descriptions of the official reporter
cannot conceal the fact that there is very little popular
enthusiasm in the greetings which Mr. Johnson
receives, apart from the curiosity created by his position
and the hearty welcome and genuine respect everywhere
given to the distinguished commiutders who accompany
him. This appears to matter very little to the President
himself, who with astonishing assurance hails every
crowd as a political demonstration in indorsement of Ins
own course, and accepts as tributes to swell the triumph
of his policy even the formal speeches of local
official' who ntko ears to disclaim any political inten-
tion. There are many things about this excursion
which we may pronounce remarkable, but the most sin-
gular of all is the fact that the Secretary of State, who can
hardly hove lost all his shrewdness and sagacity sines he
has left his party, should permit his chief to go on day
after day, under his own eye, making speeches more da-
maging to his cause than anything which his worst
enemy could devise. But Mr. Seward's influence, strong se
it is acknowledged to be, is probably not powerful enough
to Gona'nee the President that he needs to take any dif-
ferent course with a great intelligent nation from that
which his political education in Tennessee taught him
to employ over ignorant and passionate communities
in the backwoods. In marked contrast is the
manner in which General Grant and Admiral Par-
ragut, who give to the Chicago excursion its only element
of dignity, have repudiated all connection with it es a pc.-
litiad movement. Both have persistently and with great
good taste refused to be drawn into any political utterance
whatever ; and Admiral Fume, in particular, has indi-
cated plainly by hie brief speech at the New York banquet,
that hie presence with the presidential party is to be un-
derstood merely as showing his readiness to obey orders as
a good sailor should.—Boalon Advertiser.
BAD NEWS PROW THZ DLINDIR WHALERS.
We regret to state that a telegraphic message was re-
ceived from Peterhead, late on Saturday evening, by ex-
Bailie Yuman, to the effect that the Alert bad arrived
from Cumberland Straits, with 60 tons of oil ; that there
had been no passage this season through Melville Bt._ ,y •
and that the steam whalers were all in Cumberland
Straits clean, in the middle dAugust. The Alert, which
brought this news, is a sailing brig., the property of one of
the Peterhead Wintering Companies, and would sail from
Peterhead either late last autumn or early in the spring.
She must have made her fishing in the early spring, as it
is only then, or in the autumn, that fieh are to be got in
Cumberland Straits. The news brought by the Alert is the
worst that ever reached Dundee at this advanced season of
the year, as it applies to no less than eleven large steam
whalers (including one that bails from Kirkcaldy)
connected with this port, being the finest and most
valuable fleet that ever left the Tay for a whaling expedi-
tion. Each of the vessels carries on an average sixty men,
so that between six hundred and seven hundred families
—irrespective of the owners—are directly interested in
the result of the year's fishing. When the Alert left, the
hest of the seaeon—taking the average of years—was gone;
bat, of course, it was just possible that the vessels might
still catch some fish at Rock Read, or in Cumberland
Straits.—Dendee Advertiser.
The death is announced of Sir John Pollard
Willoughby, Bart., member of the Indian Council. The
deceased baronet was born lathe year 7, and suoseeded
to the baronetcy in the year IW, the death el his
brother, Sir Henry Willoashby, late M.P. for Evesham.
Sir John Willoughby was for many years in the Bombay
Glyn Service, and was created in IS4 a member at the
Indian Council.
