favourite place of intellectual entertainment re-opened it°
doars to the public. The first of the long list of noveltir°
prepared for the occasion was a most instructive and arane'
ing lecture on the " Phenomena of Sound," in the course
of which Mr Pepper exhibited several ingenious exPeri°
ments, showing the undulating motion of sound, its COn"
nexion with light, and its rate of motior with and without
conductors. Of course the various contrivances for produoleg
an imitation f the human voice formed an inconsiderable
portion of the lecture, and the illustrations provoked unl-
- merriment. This was followed by the ill'
troduction of 44 Paganini's Ghost " in the large
theatre, but instead of having, in this instance, 83
optical illusion, we had the extreme pleasure 0,

DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY FROM BURNING.'"

'ew days -ago we recorded an accident by fire t()
Miss Julia Genevra St. Aubyn, eldest daughter of the Res'.
W. J, St. Aubyu, rector of Stoke Damerel, and niece of tba,
lord of the manor of Devonp,rt. We regret to learn that
Miss Sr. Aubyn died on Tuesday night, as the result of the
injuries she received. An inquest was held at the house °E
her father, when it was elicited from the evidence that the
deceased had purposed going with the Rev. W. St. AubYtt
to dine with the Bishop of Jamaica at th© house of Alc
Samuel Triscott, on the evening of Saturday, the 17th inatl
and had nearly completed her toilet for the occasion, wheof
in stooping, she brought her a-m too near a lighted candle,
and one of the sleeves of her dress became ignited. TO
flames rapidly spread to other portions of her apparel, and
she ran to her father, who was in an adjoining room. 11:
immediately extinguished the fire, but unfortunately ar'e'.
severe burns bad already been received that, in spite of the
efforts of medical skill, she died from the ef[cts of the eeCt,
dent on Tuesday night. A verdict of " Accidental death
was returned.— IVestern Morning Notes.
TRIAL FOR MURDER.—The Court of Assizes °f
Algiers has just tried thirteen Arabs, two as prig`
cipals and the others as accomplices, in the murder of
Arab tanner, named Koudier ben Sassi, in the night of the
28th June last. Fur some days preceding the crime 14e
public peace of Algiers had been disturbed by affrays D°.
tween the Biskris (water-carriers and porters) and lII°
Meztbites (butchers, tanners, and other artisans), Bch()
came to blows whenever they met. It appears that the
cause of the feud was a Moorish dancer aed prostitutes
named Touam-bent-of-Rail, who, after having for a long
rime confined her favours to the Bisktie, suddenly passed
over to the Mezebites. The former were exceedinglY
tensed at this desertion, and determined to take Vlll-
geance. One evening, as the woman was leaving 3
cafe-chantant in company with lacr Mezabite lover,
a butcher, the latter war assaulted by a
and an affray followed, in which the assailant and sia Alen"'
got severely handled. The Biskris were furious at this de°
feat, and determined to make a general onslaught on
Mezabites ; but before their arrangements were completed
the police got wind of the affair, and the Mozabitcs were all;
warned to keep within doors on the night of the 28th Jun

had been appointed La- the attack. The police Noll
~lso called out to keep the peace, and succeeded in diapers'
ing the groups of Biskris who had colleted in different
platters, armed with sticks. It unfortunately hanliene
however, that a Biskri named Kouider ben Sassi, a tanner
try trade, was mistakea for a Mezabite, and beaten to d
by a band of 50 Biskris, most of whom were afterwards
rested, but all discharged except the 14 prisoners. Al;
nearing a great number of the witnesses, the court c,
dunned two of the prisoners, as principals, each to 10 yeasrs,
hard labour; three miters, as accomplices, each to ._
months' imprisonment, and acquitted the other nine,

-BroAdvices from Paris allege that Messrs. Baring
berg and Co. have renewed for three months
the loan of £2,000,000 which they recently granted
to Spain at the instance of Senor Sslaverria. The
terms to be charged are 1 per cent, above the bank
rate' and per cent, commission, making a total
of 12 per cent.
It appears that the differences due by Mr Byrne,
the Liverpool stockbroker who has absconded to
Australia, and whose failure was announced yester-
day, by an absurd telegram, for the sum of
