THE GREAT EXHIBITION•

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE
Mademoiselle Rachel sustained last evening for S' °,oef
first Limo this season her greatest character, that Lc
Camille in Les Boraces. It was in this character tl
she first appeared before the English public, and pt P,
o t
duced a sensation the remembrance of which will nee t
be effaced from the minds of those who were so forum lio
as to assist at her first memorable representation. She" °
last night more excellent,if that be possible,than ever; nev °
have we sten her more impassioned, never has she 900 N
more exquisitely that beautiful scene in which she learl
the death of her lover, and then falls shivering and ,
senseless, as one suddenly stricken by some venomous
reptile; and never has she delivered with a more feantid
and impassioned energy that terrific curse in which she vents the rage of her disappointed love on Rome and
Romans. flee performance last night was a perfect stir
umph of histrionic art. The house was well and fashion e
ably attended.

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A UNIVERSITY STU
DENT.—On Saturday last, before the Cambridge Count /
Bench, Mr. Denny, a flyman, charged William Hens /
Tarte, student of Magdalen College, with stealing a hor:
le
and Clarence. Mr. Denny said that on Wednesday evenin
a gentleman of the University hired his horse and claren( *
to go to Harston, and employed his servant, Williar
Clar called riveim. On arriving at Harston, the genth
manout "halt," and at -he same moment Mr. Tart e
sprang on the box, gave Clark ss. and a note, saying f,
" This is my property; hop off." Clark replied, " I she] I
stick to the reins," whereupon Mr. Tarte kicked him com -
pletely off the box into the road. Clark hurried back an cl
informed his master, and they both took a pony gig an of
commenced a pursuit. At Ware they discovered that th e
horse and clarence had been sent to London by rail; but.
Mr. Tarte was secured by the superintendent of the Bettie
rural police. The defence was, that Mr. Tarte lodged.
with Mr. Denny, sen., and wishing to do young Denny *
favour, bad bought a horse and clarence for the purpose of
letting, but finding there was no probability of getting the
value of them, Mr. Tarte had adopted this novel scheme or
possessing himself of his own property. Case dismissed.—
Bury Post.

(THIS DAY.)
Saturday being a five-shilling ce
did not present this morning its 'usual animated al '.."
crowded appearance. The stream of visitors who be K:
to enter soon after twelve was by no means Burnet: )irere
day, the Crystal Pairs
but as the aspect of the weather seems promising, u
is every probability that many season ticket-hold :ir);
who have been kept away from the built
far the last fortnight, will take the 0131"—:
of visiting the Exhibition, which will, after t
of
long au absence, present quite an appearance
tree
novelty to them. Many additions have been 113
lately, and among these the most superb are the prose !
lately made to her Majesty by the Newab of NI" 1.0.
These include an oriental chair of state and cano pla
elephant state trappings, and a state
palanquin of re;
most magnificent materials and workmanship. Th
have bean placed in the Indian department. MD' ,s
the musical instruments exhibited in the English
op
partment will be found a guitar of exq e uisite workman& t
' and singular construction, exhibited
by M. Dobrowoh i;
a Polish refugee, resident in this country. He "Ili: II the semibreve guitar, and it is improved from the Spent 1,1 it
guitar; the advantage% derived therefromthitt` •
coat lies one octave and a half more in the treble, ura s
that it is more easy to play; the sounding board
larger, end produces very powerful and melodious notes
and the instrument can be held with great ease and gra;(34 ; "
Another singular musical instrument worthy of "ea •
is the Autopilot), or improved organ, exhibited by 1
C. Dawson, of the Strand, by which persons, altboug ;
unskilled in music, may perform any piece
theydeem
on the organ. The tunes are on perforated sheets of Ins"
board. These, being introduced into the instrument, ti,
performer has only to turn a handle, and the tune is 85,5 t
cuted with all the finish of a skilful organist. This hand er
not being connected with the action that works t b
bellows, gives the performer the opportunity of dwelli ;
any length of time on a particular harmony and rendsthe autophon admirably adapted for chantting, iliDg" 5
classes, &c.
The case of stuffed birds exhibited by Mr. Gardne ;
in Class 29, continues to attract great attention. inn
art of stuffing birds so as to preserve the natural sP
pearance and pcsition of the living animal, is one a ,
peculiar interest and rarity. Mr. Gardner is certainl3
one of the greatest profieients we have ever met
and his display, especially in the humming-bird 0854.
is remarkably fine.
