ALIIAMBRA.

The performances at this establishment have been entirely
changed ; M. Loisset's circus company have departed to
Cremorne-gardens ; the circus has been cleared away, and
this noble building is once more opened as a theatre of
varieties. The musical arrangements are under the charge
of Mr Schallen, assisted by M. Kaloziy, the Hungarian
composer, and the band, chorus, and comic and sentimental
singers seem to be well chosen, The leading attraction is
Mdlle. Nathalie—the young French female acrobat, who
excited so much interest here in 1862. Mdlle. Nathalie is
about 12 years of age, and is the daughter of M. Foucart,
the proprietor of one of the best and most highly patronised
gymnastic schools in Paris. The graceful and extraordi-
nary feats performed by this young lady show what high
training may do with a somewhat delicate frame, and illus-
trate the best kind of physical education as practised in
France. The same teaching which has made Mdlle.
Nathalie and her two younger sisters who accompany her,
what they are, is brought to bear upon the Prince Imperial,
and nearly all the children of the French upper classes.
There is nothing " sensational " in the performance of these
three children, and if it has a fault it is far too honest and
legitimate for a theatre or a music-hall.

MR. AND MRS. GERMAN REED'S ENTERTAIN-

MENT.

Yesterday proved an exception to the rule which has now
held good for a long course of years, of this entertainment
being attended at holiday time by crowds of delighted
visitors. Mr. and Mrs. German Reed and Mr. John Parry
exerted themselves to the utmost to please their admiring
friends, and they were rewarded with their continuous
applause throughout. The subjects were entitled, "The
Pyramid," "The Bard and his Birthday," and "Mrs.
Roselears Little Evening Party."

Trial for Murder by Poison in France.

The proceedings commenced on Saturday at the
usual hour. After the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion had been heard, those for the defence were
called.
Dr. Hebert, head pbarmacian at the Clinique,
deposed as follows :—" I intend to combat the re-
port of Drs. rardieu and Rousain, as .its conclusions
are not justified by the facts. In the first place the
report expresses astonishment at the wonderful
preservation of the body after a lapse of 15 days.
It is true that mineral poisons prevent decomposi-
tion, whereas vegetable poisons do not. But this
is only a trifling inaccuracy ; and I will therefore
pass on to examine the physiological experi-
ments with dogs, rabbits, and frogs. As to the
dogs, the report states that the experiments de-
monstrated—lst, The gradual slackening of
the circulation ; and 2d, the contraction
of the ventricles. I maintain that these facts were
sufficient to justify the conclusion that digitaline
was not present. As to the second experiment, I
assert that the experts were mistaken in attributing
the death of the rabbit to digitaline. That sub•
stance has little or no effect on rabbits and other
herbivorous animals. As to the experiments made
on dogs and rabbits with the substance extracted
from the organs of the deceased, no effect was pro-
duced on the dog, but the rabbit died. I venture to
affirm that digitaline did not cause its death; the
putrid matter was most probably the cause. As
to the frogs, I have no confidence in the results
the experts. The learned Stannius
saysthat frogs are very little affected by digita-
line.s obtained by
I h
avtried it on several myself, and Ie
could show them to the jury, all alive and well."
A long discussion here ensued between Dr.
Hebert and the experts, which did not seem to

throw much light on the matter, for each of them
and as they had appealed to the authority of Pro-
firmly adhered to his previously expressed opinions,
fessor Claude Bernard, of the College of France, he
was called in and deposed to the following effect :
"I have been occupied in researches on digitaline
and other poisons which act on the heart. Digits-
line has a rapid action on the superior animals by
arresting the circulation. It stops the contraetion
of the heart, and death is the consequence. The
cadaverous rigidity of the heart rapidly follows
death when caused by digitaline."

Dr. Tardieu, in reply to a question from the Pre-
sident, declared that Professor Bernard's opinion
confirmed his statement that the relaxation of the
heart is the characteristic effect of digitaline.
Dr. Vulpian and Professors Bosley and Raynal,
of the Veterinary School of Alfort, who have all
made experiments on animals with digitaline, were
next heard, arid expressed opinions coincident with
those of the experts and Professor Claude Bernard

LAW INTELLIGENCE (This Day),

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE GEO. VAN HARE.

This bankrupt was described as of Stafford-place, Pim-
lico, Tunbridge Wells, Cremorne Gardens, and the Theatre
Royal Jersey, circus proprietor, and this was a meeting for
choice of assignees.

The debts are stated at £7lO, and the bankrupt attributes
his difficulties to the receipts not being sufficient to meet the
expenses, the illness of horses and their sale at a "total'
loss.

Mr. Lewis applied for an adjournment, as his client, who
was also a circus proprietor, was not present, as he was
travelling.
The learned Registrar did not think that was a sufficient
reason for delsying the choice.
Mr. Lewis said that as he found on the proceedings an
affidavit by Mr. Kent, the bankrupt's solicitor, that the
bankrupt could not furnish the accounts required, he (Mr.
Lewis) would question the bankrupt on that point, and
also Mr. Kent.

Mr. Kent said he should decline to answer any questions
but would examine the bankrupt. This was done, and the
bankrupt said that he had handed the books, etc., to Mr.
W. B. Davies, a solicitor, of Chelsea.
The Registrar said that the matter must be cleared up,
and after some further discussion the case was adjourned till
the 7th June.

THE OXFORD AND CANTERBURY MUSIC

HALLS.

Notices of Whitsuntide amusements would be incomplete
without a reference to the Oxford and Canterbury. If
Whitsuntide had come a little earlier, the attractions of the
" Tercentenary" would have beguiled the audience of the
Oxford last night; they remain in full force at the Canter-
bury Hall, and we will shortly allude to them. At the
Oxford, however, is to be heard, after the brief interval of
the celebration week, those admirably performed selections
which are the distinguishing features of the great West-
end music hall. "Faust" remains in the programme, to
the delight of all, whether of the admirers of the music
itself or of the thoroughly artistic manner in which it is
presented in the selection. This selection is the chef d'teuvre
of this establishment, famed as it has been for the produc-
tion of selections from some of the masterpieces of the
musical art. Principals and chorus acquit themselves most
successfully; and no better evidence of the progress which
is making in this country could be furnished than the un-
flagging interest manifested in these productions of operatic
selections. At the Canterbury Hall, the " Tercentenary ;
or, a Night with Shakspere," remains a great source of
attraction. Like the brilliant ‘A Prince Blossom ; or, the
Fairies of the Magic Fountains," the piece is well designed
to display those dazzling optical illusions which go under
the name of " Ghost Effects." It serves also as a vehicle
for the trotting out of a variety of Shaksperres characters,
which crop up in the moat agreeable contusion, and receive
embodiment before the magic mirror. The bard himself
makes his appearance, and his corporeal presence, in the
well known attitude at the pedestal, is suggested by a
"player," whose most ambitious assumption is assuredly
that of the mighty Shakspere. Many of the characters are
sustained with effect. Mr. W. 11. Morton and his brother,
Mr. T. Morton, appear in several characters with a success
which must not be lose surprising to themselves than to the
audience. Mr. T. Morton's make up as Lear, and his de-
livery of one of the well known denunciations, left nothing
to be desired, although the performance was that of an
amateur; and Mr. W. H. Morton, in a semi-serious ora-
tion in vindication of the bard, gave indications of hietrionic
talent which frequently flash upon us out of the beaten
track of the purely professional walk in the drama. The
two spectacular pieces were performed last night at the
Canterbury Hall with the customary success, as was shown
by the frequent and hearty applause which greeted all con-
cerned.

MEXICO.

The Independence Beige mentions that it has re-
ceived letters from Mexico which give more de-
tailed intelligence than that published by the
French journa s. It says :—" The following is a
summary of the contents of those letters, and both
are in accord on that point. Vidauri, who has
always been the personal adversary of Doblado,
would have refused to place himself in communica-
tion with that chief. But, after several interviews
which he had with Juarez, he is said to have agreed
to give up Monterey to the ex-President, the latter
having 'manifested the intention of transporting
the seat of his Government to that town. He
therefore retired with his troops, in order to
leave Juarez under the protection of soldiers who
had faithfully served him since the commence•
ment of those disasters, and in whom he might
have full confidence in the probable eventuality
of his being obliged to :secure his retreat towards
the Rio Grande. What had become of Vidauri
since he evacuated the seat of his Government no
one knew, as at Mexico nobody had any susp'cion
of a fact made known by some letters, that Mejia,
who commands a body of Imperial troops, and who
was in the State of San Lute, had gone to the as-
sistance of the former Governor of Leon and Coa-
huila. At Mexico people ore not so sanguine as the
illondeur, which declares that the army of Juarez
no longer exists. There, indeed, Ortega is said to
be assembling around him, including the bands of
Doblado and Negrete, from 4,000 to 5,000 men, in
addition to the guerillar under the direct command
of Carvajal; Uraga is also said to have entered
Acapulo with from 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers; and,
lastly, as a proof that the ex-President has still some
real forces at his disposal, is the fact that the troops
by whom Monterey is occupied are only a detached
corps,

Jones, Loyd, and Co.'s Bank,

There is much of the romance of history in the origin of
some of the great private banking houses still existing in
our days—though all more or less threatened with destruc-
tion by the giant of joint-stock enterprise. The origin,
among others, of the house of Jones, Loyd, and Co. was
very curious, Mr. Lewis Loyd, the founder of the house,
father of the present Lord Ovs.rstone, began his career as a
Welsh dissenting minister in a small chapel at Manchester,
the congregation of which included a Mr. Jones, a sort of
half •banker half-manufacturer. In addition to Mr. Jones
there was a Miss Jones who attended the sermons of the Rev.
Mr. Loyd, and, as often happens, the maiden found
the orations so eloquent that she fell in love with the
preacher. The affection was responded to by the mini-
ster, and the two, fearing the purse-proud mer-
chant would never consent to the messaliance, were pri-
vately married. Of course, when the affair became known
to Mr. Jones, sen., as it could not fail to do, ha was exceed-
ingly angry, but, seeing that things went on pretty com-
fortably with his daughter, he became reconciled in the
end to his reverend son-in-law : but, though fond of
attending sermons, he did not think preaching a good busi-
ness, and after a while proposed that Mr. Loyd should
give up the Welsh Dissenting chapel and enter his count-
ing-house as a partner, under the firm of Jones, Loyd, and
Co. Mr. Loyd consented; and, to extend the business, it
was subsequently agreed that he should go to. London, and
establish a bank under the name of the Manchester firm;
so that Jones, Loyd, and Co., of Manchester, might draw
bills upon Jones, Loyd, and Co., of London, or, as it was
facetiously called at the time, '• pig upon bacon." It soon
turned out that Mr. Lewes Loyd was eminently fitted to
be a banker, for his clearness of head, untiring industry,
and perfect honesty proved the foundation of success for
the new establishment. After a very long and
honourable career Mr. Loyd retired from business,
being succeeded as head of the London firm by his
son, Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, who was subsequently created
Lord 0 verstone. Thus, the falling in love of a young
Manchester girl with a Welsh dissenting minister was the
cause of the establishment of an important bank, besides
leading to the creation of a peer of the realm.—Railway

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of ,C 3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-I(th per cent. dearer in Paris than Landon.
lily advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13. ti per £1 sterling.
Standard
goid at the English Alirt price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at Nev York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 200 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about t 2 per cent. At these rates there is a. profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

THE OXFORD AND CANTERBURY MUSIC
HALLS.

Notices of Whitsuntide amusements would be incomplete
without a reference to the Oxford and Canterbury, If
Whitsuntide had come a little earlier, the attractions of the
"Tercentenary" would have beguiled the audience of the
Oxford last night ; they remain in full force at the Canter-
bury Hall, and we will shortly allude to them. At the
Oxford, however, is to be heard, after the brief interval of
the celebration week, those admirably performed selections
which are the distinguishing features of the great West-
end music hall. "Faust" remains in the programme, to
the delight of all, whether of the admirers of the music
itself or of the thoroughly artistic manner in which it is
presented in the selection. This selection is the chef d'oeuvre
of this establishment, famed as it has been for the produc •
tion of selections from some of the masterpieces of the
musical art. Principals and chorus acquit themselves most
successfully; and no better evidence of the progress which
is making in this country could be furnished than the un-
flagging interest manifested in these productions of operatic
selections. At the Canterbury Hall, the " Tercentenary;
or, a Night with Shakspere," remains a great source of
attraction. Like the brilliant "Prince Blossom; or, the
Fairies of the Magic Fountains," the piece is well designed
to display those dazzling optical illusions which go under
the name of " Ghost Effects." It serves also as a vehicle
for the trotting out of a variety of Shakspere's characters,
which crop up in the most agreeable confusion, and receive
embodiment before the magic mirror. The bard himself
makes his appearance, and his corporeal presence, in the
well known attitude at the pedestal, is suggested by a
"player," whose most ambitious assumption is assuredly
that of the mighty Shakspere. Many of the characters are
sustained with effect. Mr. W. H. Morton and his brother,
Mr. T. Morton, appear in several characters with a success
which must not be less surprising to themselves than to the
audience. Mr. T. Mortou's make up as Lear, and his de-
livery of one of the well known denunciations, left nothing
to be desired, although the performance was that of an
amateur; and Mr. W. H. Morton. in a semi-serious ora-
tion in vindication of the bard, gave indications of histrionic
talent which frequently flash upon us out of the beaten
track of the purely professional walk in the drama. The
two spectacular pieces were performed last night at the
Canterbury Hall with the customary success, as was shown
by the frequent and hearty applause which greeted all con-
cerned.

MEXICO.

The Independence Beige mentions that it has re-
ceived letters from Mexico which give more de-
tailed intelligence than that published by the
French journa s. It says :—" The following is a
summary of the contents of those letters, and both
are in accord on that paint. Vidauri, who has
always been the personal adversary of Thblado,
would have refused to place himself in communica-
tion with that chief. But, after several interviews
which he had with Juarez, he is said to have agreed
to give up Monterey to the ex-President, the latter
having manifested the intention of transporting
the seat of his Government to that town. He
therefore retired with his troops, in order to
leave Juarez under the protection of soldiers who
had faithfully served him since the commence•
meat of those disasters, and in whom he might
have full confidence in the probable eventuality
of his being obliged to :secure his retreat towards
the Rio Grande. What had become of Vidauri
since he evacuated the seat of his Government no
one knew, as at Mexico nobody had any susp'cion
of a fact made known by some letters, that Mejia,
who commands a body of Imperial troops, and who
was in the State of San Luis, had gone to the as-
sistance of the former Governor of Leon and Coa-
huila. At Mexico people are not so sanguine as the
illonzteur, which declares that the army of Juarez
no longer exists. There, indeed, Ortega is said to
be assembling around him, including the bands of
Doblado and Negrete, from 4,000 to 5,000 men, in
addition to the guerillar under the direct command
of Carvajal; Uraga is also said to have entered
Acapulo with from 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers; and,
lastly, us a proof that the ex-President has still some
real forces at his disposal, is the fact that the troops
by whom Monterey is occupied are only a detached
corps.

STRAND THEATRE.

Out of somewhat meagre, and in more than ene respect
rather improbable materials, Mr. J. P. Wooler has con-
structed an amusing and pleasingly written comedietta,
entitled "The Maid of Honour," which was produced last
night for the first time, and met with unequivocal success.
This Whitsuntide novelty is one of those piquant and
agreeable little five-and-twenty-minute pieces which prove
so attractive to Strand audiences, and seem so well adapted
for the Strand atmosphere. With the aid of charming
scenery, faultless stage accessories, and admirable acting
on the part of Misa Ada Swanborough and Miss Kate
Carson, who sustained the leading characters, the come-
dietta went off without the slightest hitch, the interest of
the audience being well sustained throughout, and when
the curtain fell the actors and the author were loudly ap-
plauded. Nothing could have been more charming than
Miss Ada Swanborough's portraiture of the gay,
careless, and somewhat mischievous maid of honour,
Countess d'Estrella ; and the Duchess of Canara, in
Miss Kate Carson's hands, was interpreted with consum-
mate ability. Mr. D. James performed, not very satisfac-
torily, Count Leoni, presumed to be an envoy from Prince
Louis of Savoy in search for his Royal master of the Duchess
of Canara, but he ultimately proves to be the Prince him-
self, and it is to his alternate wooing of the Countess and
the Duchess, and the feeling of jealousy engendered in the
mind of the Duchess towards her own youthful cousin and
maid of honour, that the plot derives its main interest.

circumstances. The Polygraphic Hall was crowded, and
the popularity which Mr. Woodin has earned for himself
among all classes of the community was never more con-
spicuously apparent. His "Elopement Extraordinary" and
"Bachelor's Box " was warmly applauded, and kept the
audience in constant laughter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A WELL• KNOWN THIEF CHARGED WITH BEING

FOUND IN A HOUSE AND VIOLENTLY ASSAULTING

Two FElClLES.—Frederick Williams, a thick• set young
fellow, well known to the police, and who has only just re-

- -
turned from penal servitude, was charged before Mr. Knox
with being found in the house, No. 22, Duke street, Port-
land-place, and also with assaulting Mrs. Ann Stevens, the
landlady, and Ellen Cunningham, her servant.
Mrs. Stevens said that on going into her bedroom, yes-
terday afternoon, she saw a shadow on the wall, and afi er-
wards found the prisoner in the room with his hand on one

of her husband's coats. On asking the prisoner what h;
wanted he said he was looking for a painter. She
told him she believed he was there for the purpose of com-
mitting a felony, and held him, and called her servant to go
for a constable. The prisoner struggled to get away, and
on the servant coming to her assistance the prisoner struck
her ( Nirs. Stevens) a violent blow on the check, and then
struck her servant in the eyes, blackening both of them in
a very bad manner.

Ellen Cunningham, servant to Mrs Stevens, proved that
while passing the prisoner to go for a constable he gave her
two violent blows in the face, blackening both her eyes.
William Haley, of 30, Charlotte-place, said that while
going along Duke-street, yesterday afternoon he heard
cries for assistance, and on going to No. 22 he found the
prisoner struggling with Mrs. Stevens and her servant, and
trying to get away. Mrs. Stevens was bleeding from a
wouad on her face, and the servant fro:n one of her eyes.
White, 95 E, proved taking •the prisoner into custody,
and Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, said the pri-
soner was a well-known thief, and had suffered penal ser-
vitude.

Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months for
being tbund in a house for the purpose of committing a
felony, two months for the assault on Mr. Stevens, and two
months for the assault on the servant, each sentence to take
effect at the expiration of the other,

The prisoner on leaving the dock thanked the magistrate.
STEALING CHAIRS IN HYDE-PARK.—George Boyd, a
tall, miserable-looking man, was charged with stealing four
chairs from Hyde-park the previous night, the chairs being
the property of Mrs. Pearce, who holds the contract for the
supply of chairs to visitors.

A constable proved seeing the prisoner about 10 o'clock
the previous night with four chairs on his shoulders, walk.
ing off in the coolest manner with them. He then took the
prisoner into oustody.

Mr. Knox inquired whether the chairs were left loose in
the park all night, and the constable said they were, being
placed in heaps.

Barns, the gaoler, said he believed the prisoner was at
the Marylebone Police-court yesterday, on some charge,
but discharged.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week.

LAW INTELLIGENCE (This Day),

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before ➢Tr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE GEO. VAN HARE.

This bankrupt was described as of Stafford-place, Pim-
lico, Tunbridge 'Wells, Cremorne Gardens, and the Theatre
Royal Jersey, circus proprietor, and this was a meeting for
choice of assignees.
The debts are stated at £7lO, and the bankrnpt attributes
his difficulties to the receipts not being sufficient to meet the
expenses, the .illness of horses and their sale at a" total"
loss.

Mr. Lewis applied for an adjournment, as his client, who
was also a circus proprietor, was not present, as he was
travelling.
The learned Registrar did not think that was a sufficient
reason for delaying the choice.

Mr. Lewis said that as he found on the proceedings an
affidavit by Mr. Kent, the bankrupt's solicitor, that the
bankrupt could not furnish the accounts required, he (Mr.
Lewis) would question the bankrupt on that point, and
also Mr. Kent.

Mr. Kent said he should decline to answer any questions
but would examine the bankrupt. This was done, and the
bankrupt said that he had handed the books, &c., to Mr,
W. B. Davies, a solicitor, of Chelsea.
The Registrar said that the matter must be cleared up,
and after some further discussion the case was adjourned till
the 7th June.
