both, we believe, "effects" patented by Mr. Morton, outvie
everything that has gone before them, even in theatres
which are celebrated for the splendours of their spectacular
triumphs.

THE ALHAMBRA.
There was an equestrian performance, morning and even-
ing, at the Alhambra, in Leicester-square, by a Continental
company, under the direction of M. Loissett, and said to be
of great celebrity in Germany and Holland. An astonish-
ing exhibition in vaulting by " Little Clotilde," a girl about
ten years of age, and described as a niece of the director,
forms a remarkable part of the entertainment, but with the
drawback that one feat in particular, however marvellous, is
calculated to produce a painful impression on the mind of a
spectator, and a strong sense of the impropriety of exposing
a child of such tender years to such manifest danger. Be-
sides equestian performances, which were varied and
often striking for their daring, there was a series of interest-
ing gyrations by Mr. Franklin on the trapeze, which were
frequently applauded, while the exploits of Rennet, the
clown, produced infinite merriment.

AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON.
The Easter novelties at this establishment were varied
and abundant. consisting of steeplechasing, pony racing,
astonishing feats of vtulting and horse-riding, and an as-
sault of arms by a party of the 2d Life Guards, under
Corporal Sheffield, which seemed, to afford much gratifica-
tion to the audience. The Firo King, too, went through
his salamandrine feat of walking through a body of fire
which would certainly vitrify sandstone, though, of course,
he was soon out of its destructive iniuence. Messrs. Strange
and Pulleyn are certainly doing what they can to deserve
success.

Easter brings back Miss Batemw, and the celebrated
American actress again comes forward as the persecuted

As Christmas was powerless to remove the " Ticket o'

THE EXHIBITIONS.

The day being raw and cold throughout, the number of
visitors to the various exhibitions was much less than usual,
There was, nevertheless, a goodly company at all of thew
some of the more popular were crowded at intervals.

POLYGRAPHIC HALL ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr. Wocdin had his full share of visitors last evening.
His little hall was crowded to suffocation, and laughter and
applause greeted him throughout his entire performance,

GRACE EGERTON'S ENTERTAINMENT.
The "Drawing Room to Let" drew a large
gratified at the
exertions the accomplished Grace Egerton made to please
her many visitors.

ARTHUR SKETCHLEY'S ENTERTAINMENT.
Mr. Sketchley received his full share of Easter holiday
visitors, and we mistake very much if those who went
turther afield for Easter amusement fared as well as those
who passed the evening at the attractive entertainment in
the Eg,)ptian

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
Yesterday a large crowd assembled, as is usual on Easter
Monday, at the Crystal Palace. The day was cold and
gloomy, more than once threatening rain, so that the visitors
were less scattered over the grounds than is usual at this
season. But the attractions within doors are at present so
much greater than those without that the absence of sun-
shine was not neceesary to explain the preference shown for
the interior of the building. It seas delightful to leave the
frost-nipped lawns and leafless landscapes for the perpetual
summer of the south nave and transept, in which the vege-
tation is now particularly brilliant. In the southern nave,
before the band began to play, the chief attraction seemed
to be the dazzling beds of tulips, hyacinths, dialetrias,
deutsias, and cinerarias which have been formed round the
crystal fountains. In the north transept, those who had not
been at the Palace for some time noticed the increased size
of the tree ferns and palm trees, many of which now exceed
30 feet in height. The orchideous plants, with their bright
pink purple tipped flowers, at present give an additional

The Fairy Entertainment, entitled
PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-

ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of .‘ The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'ceil of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK.

CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF MAN, March 27.
Last night at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock (reports Mr.
H. C. Gill) a messenger came to me from Port St.
Mary, statieg that a schooner had betn struck by a
squall off Port Iron, and was then lying on her
beam-ends disabled, and requesting the lifeboat of
the National Institution might be sent off to her.
We decided that the most speedy way would be to
take the boat overland, and accordingly we procured
six horses and got off by 7 o'clock. The distance
from Castletown to Port Iron is five miles.
When we arrived at the latter place we were assured
that the schca ner bad gone down about two hours
previously, but as this information was supposed to
be doubtful, and as the people strongly urged the
propriety of sailing the boat on the chance of pick-
ing up some of the crew who might still be floating,
even if the vessel had gone down, the boat was
launched by five minutes past 8. I accompanied
the men, and took with me the harbour-master of
Port St. Mary to point out the position as near as
might be where the vessel had last been seen. We
went out in a north-westerly direction for about 4
miles and a half, the wind blowing strongly from
the N.W., and there being a very heavy sea on.
In fact, it was such a sea as I am convinced no boat
bat a lifeboat could have existed in many minutes.
We then cruised about the track which it was sup-
posed the schooner or her crew might be on
for about an hour, showing a light, and looking out
in all directions, but without any success. The
boat's head was then turned towards the Calf of
Man, which we rounded, still being, as our crew
thought, on a favourable tract—a strong tide having
set in in that direction sufficient to carry along any
wreck or floating body. All our efforts, however,
were in vain,and we were obliged to return without
having effected any good. We first took the boat
into Port St. Mary, where we arrived about 12
o'clock, hoping to find the carriage and horses
there. In this we were mistaken ; they had re-
turned to Castletown. And after the men had been
hospitably entertained by one of the inhabitants,
they rowed the lifeboat home to Castletown, where
they arrived shortly after two o'clock this morn-
ing. I regret to have to relate a tale of
such ill success, but the men did everthing
in their power, and exhibited a degree of
patience, perseverance, and bravery, such as asto-
❑ished me. They say their boat is beyond all praise.

I have ascertained that the schooner in question
was the Vixen, of Peel, in this island, John Sans-
burg, master. Crew of five men, and captain's wife
on board, from Bordeaux to Belfast, with Indian
corn, in bulk. She called into Port St. Mary,
about two o'clock yesterday, to take the master's
wife on board. It is stated today, and beyond all
doubt that the vessel and all her 'crew went down.
Tills valuable lifeboat was instrumental on the 11th
inst 7 during a heavy gale of wind in saving four
poisons from the smack Water Lilly, the vessel soon
af(erwarda becoming a total wreck. Altogether the
lifeboat has within the last six years rescued 27
shipwrecked persons.

WESTMINSTER.

A LADY'S LIFE PLACED IN IMMINENT DANGER.—Haw
Walker was charged with being drunk while driving a
horse and cart, doing damage, and placing the life of a lady
in very imminent danger.
Police-constable 133 B said that at a quarter past 10 last
night he found the defendant drunk and incapable of tak-
ing care of his horse and cart in the high road at Knights-
bridge. At the time witness came up defendant was
standing on the footway near his cart.
Mr Tyrwhitt—What was the damage he did ?
Witness—He smashed a cab all to pieces.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Was there any passenger in the cab
Witness—Passengers inside, and also one on the box
with the driver. They were all placed in the most im-
minent peril. The cab-driver is here to state the circum-
stances of the case.
Alfred Wigan said—l was going by Albert-gate last
night when a buss pulled up in front of me for a passenger,
and I was going by when this man came right froin the
other side of the road, and pulled right on to me on the
wrong side of the road.
Mr. Tyrivhitt—What was the effect of this ?
Witness—My cab was smashed up, and 'a lady much
injured and nearly killed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt How was that?
Witness—l had just taken up a party of five persons to
convey to Kensington, and had one of them, a lady, outside
the cab. It was the greatest mercy that she escaped. One
of the shafts of the cart shaved her dress, and had it gone
an inch more in one direction must have driven her right
through the cab.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—ln what condition was the defendant ?
Witness—He was very drunk and on his wrong side. The
lady is here to say what happened to her.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cook'—My mouth is so much hurt by a
blow I received that I can hardly speak. We were going
through Knightsbridge last night when on a sudden this
cart came upon us.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—What injuries did you receive ?

Witness—The shaft jumped up and struck iris on the
side of the head—it then fell a little and glancing down my
body did my clothes great damage.
Mr. T3rwhitt—What was the damage?
Witness—The shaft tore my silk dress to pieces—(dress
produced), and my flannel petticoats and otter things
were dragged off my my back by the shaft of the cart.
Air. Tyrwhitt—Who was to blame ?
Witness—Not the cabman ; he was driving properly.
The other man cams upon him on a sudden.
Defendant—l was not the person to blame more than the
cabman.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt was really the greatest mercy that
something fatal did not result from defendant's misconduct.
He is fined 40s. for the offence, or will _be imprisoned one
month; 40s, damage to the lady's dress, or one month, and
he had better settle for the damage done to the cab, or a
summons will be issued against him.

As usual on a great holiday, this popular place of recrea-
tion attracted a crowd of visitors, especially in the evening.
Although upwards of half a century has elapsed since the
exhibition was first opened, it is still as great a favourite
with the public as ever, and being wholly unique in its kind
it remains without a rival. Of late many new figures of dis-
tinguished and historical personages have been added to the
collection which greatly enhance its interest. Among these
are all the principal members of the Royal family, in appro-
priate groups, the late King of Denmark, and other Royal
personages ; while Presidents Lincoln and Davis, Messrs.
Slidell and Mason, Count Cavour, Garibaldi, and Cardinal
Antonelli are conspicuous among the political and histori-
cal celebrities. The part of the exhibition familiarly known
as the Chamber of Horrors is now designated in the pro-
gramme as the Chamber et Physiognomy; and there, among
the latter additions, is to be found a figure of the murderer
Townley.

THE POLYTECHNIC.

This institution, which has flourished during a period of
25 years, was re-opened yesterday with several fresh attrac-
tions, conspicuous among which were the interesting optical
illusions ani a new ghost entertainment by Professor Pep-
per, with a lecture. Many novel scientific improvements and
arrangements have been introduced into the ghost illusion
by the professor, and hundreds of people assembled yester-
day to witness the entertainment, which took place at 3
o'clock, and was repeated in the evening. The piping bull-
finch warbled at intervals during the day. There were also
dioramas and dissolving views, most of them new; exhibi-
tions of glass working, and of the oxy-hydrogen microscope,
experiments in magic, buffo songs, ant an entertainment in.
ventriloquism, besides experiments with the diving bell.

THE ALHAMBRA.

There was an equestrian performance, morning and even-
ing, at the Alhambra, in Leicester-square, by a Continental
company, under the direction of M. Loissett, and said to be
of great celebrity in Germany and Holland. An astonish-
flag exhibition in vaulting by "Little Clotilde," a girl about
ten years of age, and described as a niece of the director,
forms a remarkable part of the entertainment, but with the
drawback that one feat in particular, however marvellous, is
calculated to produce a painful impression on the mind of a
spectator, and a strong sense of the impropriety of exposing
a child of such tender years to such manifest danger. Be-
sides '.he equestian performances, which were varied and
often striking for their daring, there was a series of interest-
ing gyrations by Mr. Franklin on the trapeze, which were
frequently applauded, while the exploits of Rennet*, the
clown, produced infinite merriment.

AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON.
The Easter novelties at this establishment were varied
and abundant, consisting of steeplechasing, pony racing,
astonishing feats of vaulting and horse-riding, and an as-
sault of arms by a party of the 2d Life Guards, under
Corporal Sheffield, which seemed to afford much gratifica-
tion to the audience. The Fire King, too, went through
his salamandrine feat of walking through a body of fire
which would certainly vitrify sandstone, though, of ccurso,
he was soon out of its destructive influence. Messrs. Strange
and Pulleyn are certainly doing what they can to deserve

SECOND EDITION of BARBARA'S
lIISTORY. By AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

From the Times, March ?S. —"lt is not often that we light
upon a new novel of so much merit and interest as' Barbara's
History.' It is a work conspicuous beyond the average for
taste and literary culture, and felicitous in its delineation of
some very delicate and refined shades of character. It is a
very graceful and charming book, with a well mana.2ed story,
cleariv cut characters, and sentiments express.d with an ex-
quisite elocution The dialogues espechlly spa kle with re-
partee. It is a book which the world will like, and which
those aho commence it will care to finish. This is high
praise of a work of art, and so we intend it."

Legislature of British Columbia,

On the 21st f January the first session of the
first Legislative Council of British Columbia, as-
sembled by authority of her Majesty's Order in
Council of the 11th of June, 1 ‘!163, was opened with
a speech by the Governor, Sir Jam,:s Douglas. His
Excellency congratulated the colony on this first
step towards a perfect term of represCntative
government. In the course of his speech be reCom:
mended to the favourable attention of the Commit
proposals, on the part of the Atlantic and Pacific
Transit and Telegraph Companies, for establishing
telegraphic and postal communication between
British Columbia and the head of Lake Superior,
Vancouver Island and British Columbia joining in
a 4 per cent. guarantee of profit, bat their united
annual liability in no case to exceed £12,500. The
public revenue for 1863 amounted to £llO,OOO, and
£65,805 was raised on loan ; the expenditure was
£192,860, and there is also a debt of £10,700 due
to the Imperial Government. The budget for
1864 shews a surplus of £12,000 at the end of thit
year, after paying off the deficiency of 1863 and
the debt of £10,700; but £12,000 will not be
sufficient to meet the extraordinary expenses re-
quired for objects of public utility, the considera-
tion of which will occupy the attention of the
Council. The speech contained the following para-
graph relating to the aboriginal population :—" The
native Indian tribes are quiet and well disposed;
the plan of forming reserves of land, embracing
the village sites, cultivated fields, and favourite
paces of resort of the several tribes, and thus
securing them against the encroachments of settlers,
and for ever removing the fertile cause of agrarian
disturbance, has been productive of the happiest
effects on the minds of the natives. The areas thus
partially defined and set apart in no case exceed the
proportion of ten acres for each family concerned,
and are to be held is the joint and common pro-
perty of the several tribes, being intended for their
exclusive use and benefit, and especially as a pro-
vision for the aged, the helpless, and the infirm.
The Indians themselves have no power to sell or
alienate these lands, as the title will continue in
the Crown, and be hereafter conveyed to trustees,
and by that means secured to the several tribes as a
perpetual possession. That measure is no*, how-
ever, intended to interfere with the private rights
of individuals of the native tribes, or to incapaci-
tate them as such from holding land. On the con-
trary:, they have precisely the same rights of ac-
quiring and possessing land, in their individual
capacity, either by purchase or by occupation under
the Pre-emption Law, as other classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, provided they in all respects com-
ply with the legal conditions of tenure by which
land is held in this colony." It is stated that re-
porters wit, not be admitted during the debates in
the Legislative Council.

the drollest guise, and
made to speak and act in
most ludicrous
i
fashion. The presiding sprits of the nether
world also mingle in the scene, and seem to carry
on a keen rivalry with the upper
Powers as to which
shall " carry on' most extravagantly_.
But that is
not the only species of rivalry which exists between
them. Venus (Miss Nelly Moore) neglects her
ill-favoured spouse Vulcan (Mr.
Compton) to
cultivate the favours of the handsome Adonis
(Miss Louise Keeley), but her penchant for the
youthful mortal is shared by Proserpina (Miss Lind-
ley), and the two goddesses contend, as goddesses
only can, for the exclusive possession of his affection.
This is, as it were, the pivot of the piece on which
all the other characters and incidents are made to
turn. It is not, indeed, always easy to trace the
thread of connexion between the different parts of
the action ; but that is of the less consequence, inas- I
much as the mere story is but a very subordinate
affair in all such works of art. Their chief interest
is derived from the music and dancing, the gorgeous
or grotesque costumes, the grand scenic effects, the
rattling action and dialogue, and the lively
play of
wit. In all these essential respects it is but fair to
say that a high pitch of excellence lb attained in the
new Easter piece, which alternately dazzled and
convulsed the audience. Perhaps the most exquisite
scene of all was " The Forest Primaeval," in which
Venus is seen reclining on a flowery bank, near a
beautiful cascade. The view of a fashionable water-
ing place at Paphos, whither Venus and Vulcan
repair to spend their honeymoon, is greatly enlivened
by the terpsichorean feats of the sea-sea-nymphs. Here
the corps de ballet is introduced with great effect,
the whole scene being strikingly piatureeque and
animated. The gardens of Adonis, in which the
action of the play culminates, are a perfect blaze of
spectacular art. The piece is of course, like all its
class, thickly sown with puns and hits at the follies
of the day. These are considerably above the
average in quality; although certainly that is not
saying a great deal. The acting was thronghout
spirited and effective, Miss Louise Keeley as Adonis
and Miss Nelly Moore as Venus (her first appear-
ance at this house), both acquitting themselves with
especial credit. The curtain fell amid loud and
reiterated applause, and Mr. Burnand was called to
receive the tribute due to his undoubted success.
The extravaganza was preceded by " Our American
Cousin," in which Mr. Sothern appeared for the
455th time as Lord pundreary with as much
' apparent freshness as if the part of the half-witted
lord were new to him.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.

As usual on a great holiday, this popular place of recrea-
tion attracted a crowd of visitors, especially in the evening.
Although upwards of half a century has elapsed since the
exhibition was first opened, it is still as great a favourite
with the public as ever, and being wholly unique in its kind
it remains without a rival. Of late many new figures of dis-
tinguished and historical personages have been added to the
collection which greatly enhance its interest. Among these
are all the principal members of the Royal family, in appro-
priate groups, the late King of Denmark, and other Royal
personages; while Presidents Lincoln and Davis, Messrs.
Slidell and Mason, Count Cavour, Garibaldi, and Cardinal
Antonelli are conspicuous among the political and histori-
cal celebrities. The part of the exhibition familiarly known
as the Chamber of Horrors is now designated in the pro •
gramme as the Chamber of Physiognomy; and there, among
the latter additions, is to be found a figure of the murderer
Townley,
