Edward Gooch and Sir Fitzroy NellY,

BALLOONING IN PARIS.
A tolerably largo number of spectators assembled at
the Hippodrome yesterday afternoon to witness another
experiment in aerial navigation. The aerostatic machine
which was to ascend on this occasion is the invention 01

form of a fish, of about 120 feet in length, and about '2°
ends. Tho directing

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
BIRMINGLIALI AND 0:;10P.D.

We understand that her Majesty will, uu her re-
turn from Balmoral, trawl from Birmingham to
Windsor over the Birmingham and Oxford line,
which we stated about a month since would be opened
on or before the 16t of October.

The private opening will take place on the 30:h
inst. A special train will leave the Paddington station
at nine o'clock on Thursday morning, and arrive at
Oxford at 10.15, performing the 63 miles in 75
minutes, including the stoppage at the Didcot junc-
tion. The train will then proceed to Birmingham,
Which town it will leave at half-past two, and return
to Leamington, where a dejeuner will be prepared,
and at seven o'clock trains will leave for Birmingham,
Oxford, and Paddington.
There are 14 stations between Oxford and Bir-
mingham, and it is stated that thp express trains will
l'un between Paddington and Birmingham in two-
and.a.half hours. We understand that when the new
Junction line at Didcot is completed, the journey will
be performed in rather less time.
This important line opens a second route to
Liverpool via Birkenhead. Until the opening of the
Birmingham, Dudley, and 'Wolverhampton broad-
Ruage line, the trains will proceed over the Stour
Valley Railway to 'Wolverhampton, and thence to
Birkenhead, by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham,
and Shrewsbury and Chester, and Chester and Bir-
kenhead lines.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

A singular and successful experiment was made
last evening at this theatre in the introduction of
" The Organophonic Rind," or, an orchestra without
instruments. Twelve performers represent a com-
plete orchestra of both wind and stringed instruments,
and even cymbals and drums, together with the mud.
cal box and bagpipes, by the human voice alone, un-
aided by mechanical means. These imitations are
most curious and clever. The band, who were attired
in a very handsome hussar-like dress, commenced the
concert, which was divided into three parts, by per-
forming " Rule Britannia." This was followed by a
polka, composed expressly for the band ; after which
one f them gave a solo,: in which he imitated the
cornet-a-piston, the bassoon, the trombone, and the
ophicleide. It would be impossible to go through in
detail, all that was done on the occasion ; suffice it
to say, that polkas, quartettes, marches, and waltz s
were executed with considerable ability by the
band. The imitation of female voices, of the bag-
pipes, and of the musical box, was exceedingly
clever, and the encores were general throughout the
evening. The higher brass instruments are the best
managed and the most Effective. The tenors took
the trumpets, pistons, and clarionets, and so on with
the other voices. The imitation of the harp was ex-
cessively good, so was that of the musical snuff-box,
which was introduced into the "Huntsman's Chorus;"
while the performer who produced the cymbal sound
—apparently by a sort of sneeze—succeeded to ad-
miration. The orchestral imitations were varied by
concerted pieces of the ordinary German school, and
by some extraordinary whistling, accompanied on the
guitar by an artist who certainly uses his lips exactly
in the character of a piccolo. A repetition was de-
manded of " The Huntsman's Chorus," the Piccolo
solo ; the Organophonic Polka; the " Laughing
Song," and a concertante duet for the cornet and
clarionet ; and several other pieces were warmly ap-
plauded. The house was very well attended, and the
entertainment afforded complete satisfaction.
