PARIS, OCT. 3

The Moniteur of this morning says :—" The
French coral fishers on the coasts of Tunis and the
Algerians resident in the Regency have lately been
subjected to acts of violence implying the respon-
sibility of the local authorities.
" The Government have demanded satisfaction,
and the Bey, reeognising the justice of their repre-
sentations, has hastened to make reparation, ex-
pressing his desire that such regrettable acts should
not occur again."

The Confederate Loan.

LIST OF THE ENGLISH VICTIMS.

The New York papers of the 19th September
have the following despatch, which we publish as
a curiosity :

" WASHINGTON, Monday, Sept. 18.

" Many of the holders of the Confederate Cot-
ton Loan in England avoided the recent meeting in
London, evidently for fear of an exposure of their
individual complicity in the ridiculous transaction.
As the London journals therefore seem to be at a
loss to know who the happy speculators are, they
will be enlightened by the following list of some of
the British subjects, who have thus invested, with an
estimate of the losses sustained by them respectively :

AN INFERNAL SCOUNDREL !—A man named George
Price, of Islington, says the
Spectator, has been

was suffering from an internal abscess, and the
charged wit h a
of cousin itn hge
the
nlo dseta th of h
womarninformed him that if it burst it would cause cancer
doctor
dtomust be treated with poultices. The man refused to
supply the money, the abscess did burst, and did cause
cancer, but the husband still refused money to buy
medicines, or even food, and the nurse had to
expend her own means. Not content with this re-
fusal, Price held up money in sight of his hungry wife
to torture her, brought up candles "to light her soul to
hell," held a Bible over her head that she alight, boing un-
able to move, endure the agony of expecting its fall on her
face, threw a prayer-book at her, and finally ate and drank
the food supplied for her use by her brother. The facts
were proved by nurses, and the solitary defence seems to
be drunkenness. It is a defect in our law, as we have had
occasion to point out before, that it does not provide a
separate punishment for torture. The man's offence is
neither murder, nor manslaughter, nor assault, but tor-
ture ending in death, —perhaps the absolutely worst crime
of which a human being can be guilty.

The Royal Family in the Highlands.

The Queen, influenced by that kindliness of
feeling for which her Majesty is so eminently dis-
tinguished, has more than once visited the post-
master's son of Crathie, a young man of about 18
years of age, who is at present labouring under a
long and severe illness, anxiously inquiring into his
circumstances and addressing to him a few words of
kindness and sympathy. Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

On Saturday morning his Royal Highness Prince
Arthur, accompanied by his tutor, arrived in Perth
by the limited mail from London. The party, after
leaving the general station, adjourned to the British
Hotel, where they partook of breakfast, after which
they drove to Balmoral, via Blairgowrie and the
Spittal of Glenshee.

On Tuesday night his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales gave a ball at Abergeldie to the tenants
and servants on the estates of Balmoral, Abergeldie,
and Birkhall. There was a very large company.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales and attendants, with the distinguished party
from Balmoral, and Colonel Farquharson and party
from Invercauld, entered the ball-room about ten
o'clock, shortly after which dancing commenced, and
was kept up with great spirit until an early hour in
the morning. The Prince of Wales and several of
the royal party joined heartily in the dance during
the evening. After they had retired, about two
o'clock, a sumptuous supper was served.

........
Marriage of of Prince Soltykoff and Madlle.

Elise De Yacovleff.

Yesterday the marriage of Prince Dmitry Solty-
koff, with Madlle. Elise de Yatovleff, was celebrated
at the Russian chapel in Welbeck-street, in accord-
ance with the rites of the Greek church.

• In consequence of the intimation of the marriage
many persons sought to be present, and by the time
the bridegroom and the wedding friends assembled
the chapel was crowded. At a quarter to 12 the
bride, accompanied by Mr. Prehn and the Princess
Gagarin, entered, and at once took her place in
the centre of the chapel. Prince Soltykoff and
friends had previously arrived. Among those pre-
sent to witness the ceremony were Prince and
Princess Gagarin, Prince Soltykoff, M. L. de
Yacovleff (chamberlain to the Emperor of Russia),
Prince Ouroussoff, M. de Sabouroff, Gen. Menkoff,
M. de Nord, M. W. de Stremaachoff, &c.

His Royal Highness Prince Amadeus of Italy,
accompanied by his Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio, is
expected in town either to-morrow or the following day
from Scotland.

Her Highness the Princess Czernicheff and the
Princess Leon Czernieheff have arrived at the Queen's
Hotel, Upper Norwood.

• The Marquis of Westminster arrived in town at
the end of last week from a tour in Scotland. The Mar-
chioness, and Lady Theodora Grosvenor, and Lord Robert
Grosvenor, M.P., are still at Dunrobin Castle.

The Marquis Corio has arrived at the Alexandra
Hotel, Hyde-park-corner, from the Continent.

The Earl and Countess of Eglinton purpose to
receive a large party at Eglinton Castle this week.

The Countess of Leicester and the Ladies Coke
have arrived at Farrance's Hotel from 1\ orwood.

The Oxford hfusic Hall.

Opera, Operetta, Comedy (with a dash of the Tragi-
comic), Burlesque, Extravaganza, Ballet, Pantomime--all

he familiar elements of our amusements in the Opera-
house or the Theatre—enter into the composite entertain-
ments of the Oxford Music Hall). Very kaleidoscopic, it is
true, but just the sort of recreation of which modern
audiences do not tire, because, although the amusements
aro continual, they are varied by incessant contrast, and a
good hearty laugh can be guaranteed any ten minutes of an
evening, the classical and the sentimental notwithstanding.
The music hall yields a quicker succession of fun than the
theatre, except when the presence of some burlesque on
the theatrical boards admits of the "passing follies" being
engrafted on the text. Last night, we know, we saw two
Chinese giants on the Oxford boards. "Chang," the
veritable sank into insignificance in comparison with the
improvised giants ; and " Chung," the dwarf, was there
too, and a lecture, and real Chinese salaams into the
bargain. We mention this latest addition to the facetim
of the Oxford to show how well the management
is posted up in the most recent events of London
life. Since Offenbach has reigned supreme at the Oxford,
"Laughter" has wisely taken the precaution of holding both
his sides. It is not saying too much to aver that by the
introduction of the operettas of " Orphee aux Enters" and
"66," the taste of the town has been considerably pro-
moted for comic opera. Both these sparkling operettas
heartha ve hadat
thea successbrilliant composersvourt e ares,
andtak taking
ofu thesei
after their more severe lucubrations in the promising us something lively in the way of musical farce
clas-
sical vein. The operatic company now at
the Oxford have attained a high point of perfection,
Parisian
nfa
and we should like to see their powers tested in Offenbach's
piquant music at a morning concert at the Crystal Palace
for the delectation of the season ticket holders. The prin-
cipal artistes in the latter selection and in the " Traviata"
are Miss Russell (the prima donna), Madame Maria, the
Misses Tyrrell, Walmsley, Barril, E. Reid, and Fitzhenry;
Messrs. A. St. Albyn, Husk, W. Williams, Evans, and
Signors Tivoli and Spagnoli ; and in both selections the
magnificent chorus displays its well-known efficiency. In
The Bridal of Beauty," the grand ballet, invented by
those favourite danseuses the Misses Sarah and Tessy
Gunnis, we seem to have a revival of the old Opera House
ballet in its most palmy days. The brilliant prismatic
method of lighting was not known in Taglioni's time, and
brilliant effects are now accomplished which literally
throw the past into the shade. The fascinating young
ladies have all the felicitations to thefuselves, however
and it is to be regretted if any lingering fears of the Lord
Chamberlain prevent the introduction of Perrot in the
midst of these amiable sylphs in the person of D'Auban or
a Hungarian brother. But there is sure to be a quarrell-
ing between the sexes in a ballet, and it may be
prudent to steer clear of any plots that might be
mixed up with these passions, but the result is that the
premiere danseuse is left without a lover. The miscel-
laneous selection included songs by Miss Walmsley, Miss
Fitzhenry, and Miss Ellen Reid. The D'Aubans are un-
approached in their peculiar line of " comic" dancing. A
patten dance, introduced by Miss D'Auban, in a pair of
pattens,. such as our grandmothers would have worn, is a
special little triumph over difficulties of locomotion. "The
Hungarians"—the Brother and Sister Karalfi—dance and
look well in the national costume. The young lady points
to the sky with her foot, in the most vertical manner, and
surprises by the extreme lissomeness of her limbs.

WINE.—Our readers are sufficiently acquainted
with M. Pasteur's researches on the causes to which
may be attributed either the deterioration or tho improve-
ment of wine. According to that distinguished chemist
wine gets spoilt through the action of organised ferment;
presenting certain definite shapes under the microscope ;
good, and especially old wine, has no such ferments. In a
paper addressed to the Academy of Sciences, M, Bechamp
questions the correctness of some of these argument; and
endeavours to prove that the qualities which constitute
good wines, such as flavour, bouquet, etc., are equally owing
to the presence of organised ferments and also to the vari-
able nature of the medium in which they live. In the south
of Franco they communicate certain properties to wines by
subjecting them to a certain artificial temperature, which
must not exceed a certain number of degree; by exposing
them to the heat of a southern sun. The changes which
wine undergoes, especially in growing old, are owing to a
fermentation produced by certain organised microzoaria,
the successors of the alcholic ferment, properly so called.
M. Bechamp states that he has for many years past been
examining the best wines he could procure, and has al ways
found organised productions therein. They are exceed-
ingly small and difficult to discover ; in red wines they are
very small globular beings, grains moving about with great
agility, and requiring a strong magnifying power to be
detected. In white wines besides these small globules,
there are also minute filiform beings like bacteria, and
moving like them ; as also small grains similar to the
smallest ferments of vinous fermentation. This M.
Bechamp supported by producing a sample of the deposit
found in a bottle of St. George's, and another specimen,
taken from a bottle of Band°. Hence ho concludes that
any wine may contain organised productions, and yet not
get spoilt, and that, however paradoxical it may seem, it
may be said that wines will grow old and improve through
causes similar to those that spoil it. The art of imparting
to new wine the properties of old will therefore in future
consist in favouring the production of beneficial organisms.

• MRS. SURRATr'S COUNSEL.—It has been stated
in the New York Herald that during the progress of the
conspiracy trial, in Juno last, Mrs. Surratt gave her note for
$3,000 for GO days to her counsel, who, after the execution,
and several days before the note became due, notified
several of the intimate personal friends of Mrs. SUrratt
that they would settle the note in question at a heavy dis-
coma'. The latter subsequently informed the counsel that
but $l,OOO could be raised, which sum was accepted in full
consideration of the note for $3,000.
