THE GREAT EXHIBITION•

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE
Mademoiselle Rachel sustained last evening for the
first time this season her greatest character, that of
Camille in Les Horace:. It was in this character that
she first appeared before the English public, and pro-
duced a sensation the remembrance of which will never
be effaced from the minds of those who were so fortunate
as to assist at her first memorable representation. She was
last night more excellent,if that be possible,than ever; never
have we seen her more impassioned, never has she acted
more exquisitely that beautiful scene in which she learns
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 frantic
and impassioned energy that terrific curse in which Bbe
vents the rage of her disappointed love on Rome and
Romans. Her perlormance last night was a perfect tri-
umph of histrionic art. The house was well and fashion-
ably attended.

THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE LIEUT.-GENERAL
SIR JOHN GARDINER, K.C.B.—Yesterday morning, at tea

Major-General George Brown, Lieut.-General Sir P. Mac-
donald, and several noblemen and military efficers. The

is
which it was stated that the Bill for the improvement and
extension of the dock bad passed through Parliament, and
was now waiting the Royal assent. The business done at the
docks in the six months was considerable. The directors

SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A UNIVERSITY STU-
DENT.—On Saturday last, before the Cambridge County
Bench, Mr. Denny, a flyman, charged William Henry
Tarte, student of Magdalen College, with stealing a horse
and Clarence. Mr. Denny said that on Wednesday evening
a gentleman of the University hired his horse arid clarence
to go to Harston, and employed his servant, William
Clark, to drive him. On arriving at Huston, the gentle-
man called out "halt," and at ;lie same moment Mr. Tarte
sprang on the box, gave Clark ss. and a note, saying,
"This is my property; hop off." Clark replied, "I shall
stick to the reins," whereupon Mr. Tarte kicked him com-
pletely off the box into the road. Clark hurried back andn
informed his master, and they both took a pony
that
gig and
commenced a pursuit. At Ware they discovered
Mr. Tarte was secured by the superintendent of the Harts
horse and clarence had been sent to London by rail; but

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)

This else, the facts EI
of which have already spr
our columns, was resumed this morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(TIIIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor K. Baum)
Hia Honour was occupied during the greater part of
_
the day in hearing adjourned petitions, none of which
were of importance.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Sittings in B.
Lord CAMPBELL at the sitting of anco
th) e Court complained
that gentlemen summoned on juries had been pr.:vented !recu
attending to their duties by those who had charge of Ilest.
minster-hall neglecting to open the gates at a proper time;
There was great blame somewhere, and if the annoyanc
were repeated the Court would deem it necessary to institute
a strict inquiry into the matter with the view of plinisbing
those in fault as parties guilty of contempt of court.

Saturday being (THIS DAY.)
a five-shilling day, the Crystal Palace
did not present this morning its usual animated au_
crowded appearance. The stream of visitors who begs_i:
there
to enter soon after twelve was by no means numerLe:
but as the aspect of the weather seems
promising,
,:,
is every probability that many season ticket-bold"
who have been kept away from the building
far the last fortnight, will take the opportunit
of visiting the Exhibition, which will, after 1,,t;
long an absence, present quite an appearance
novelty to them. Many additions have been rnad.e
lately, and among these the most superb are the presents
lately made to her Majesty by the Newab of Nazim.
These include an oriental chair of state and canopy,
elephant state trappings, and a state palanquin of tee
most magnificent materials and workmanship. These
have been placed in the Indian department.
de-
partment Among
the musical instruments exhibited in the Engits"
will be found a guitar of exquisite workmans',T
and singular construction, exhibited by M. Dobrowolii;
a Polish refugee, resident in this country. He cells
the semibreve guitar, and it is improved from the SPsn'; it
~
guitar; the advantages derived therefrom are, that 1,
oontiins one octave and a half more in the treble, and
that it is more easy to play; the sounding board is
larger, and produces very powerful and melodious notes,
and the instrument can be held with great ease and grace.
Another singular musical instrument worthy of
notice
fir.
C. the Autophon, or improved organ, exhibited byAur'
C. Dawson, of the Strand, by which persons, although
unskilled in music, may perform any piece they desire
on the organ. The tunes are on perforated sheets of mill'
board. These, being introduced into the instrument, the
performer has only to turn a handle, and the tune is eV'
cuted with all the finish of a skilful organist. This handle,
not being connected with the action that works ths
bellows, gives the performer the opportunity of dwelling
any length of time on a particular
harmony, and renders
the autophon admirably adapted for chanting, singing
classes, &c.
The case of stuffed birds exhibited by Mr. Gardner,
in Class 29, continues to attract great attention. The
art of stuffing birds so as to preserve the natural ap-
pearance and position of the living animal, is one of
peculiar interest and rarity. Mr. Gardner is certainly
one of the greatest proficients we have ever met with,
and his display, espelAlly in the humming-bird case,
is remarkably fine.
The receipts yesterday in half.crowns were 2,2062 55.9
the numbers admitted being 24,520.
