THE OXFORD.

Poweiful as may have boon the Amazons of antiquity'''.
invincible as we are told the female warriors are in the
battalions of that ingenious living potentate, the Tung
Dahomey—the pretty "Amazons aux Champagne" °-
also nightly achieving the most brilliant victories over tha
usurping sex at the Oxford. Their manoeuvring is irre-
sistible, their movements perfection, and the flashes iv:"...
their eyes all-conquering. About fifteen young amazon
form this fascinating army of volunteers, under the coin-
mand of the Misses Gunniss. They go through a sail
of splendid military evolutions, execute a variety of din
marches to bewilder the audience; and after nial"l
believe by popping champagne corks, finally 111
them with a terrific volley of musketry, Whie
"
makes the walls ring again. This mimic warfare has re
cently been preceded by the mimicry of Mr. W. J. Ji11i833.a.1
who adopts a novel method of giving verisimilitude to lwr
portraiture. Three-quarter figures of some well-knoWa
actors, in theatrical costume, are introduced upon can/681
space being left for the mimic to insert his face. Scwl°
very close imitations of favourite actors—" Living 111°,,-
out
tographs," Mr. Julian calls them—are then accomplish
those of Mr. Henry Marston, Mr. Buckstone, and ltir.
Charles Kean being the most felicitous. The operatic f'a-
lections at the Oxford continue to be m4gnificently dons
In Offenbach's comic opera of " Trombalcazar"
Albyn displays rare powers as a buffo singer, a new
judiciously chosen line for him. If all singers would eratr.,
late the vivacity and spirit of Mr. St. Albyn, selection'
from comic operas would take a still further hold of til°
music-hall stage.

CRIME IN SPAIN.—A man, named Pedro SelfAa'
has just been executed at Valencia, in Spain, for raur",e,
and robbery. Selfa, accompanied by another man and
women, entered the house of a rich lady, Dona SiWorld
Font, at the moment when the domestics were absent, all
immediately attacked her. The two women threw them;
selves upon her, stabbing her in the face and breast Wit*
knives, Sella standing coolly by directing the proceeclia
and himself putting the finishing stroke to the worlc bic;
driving a poignard through her heart. They then rubbed
the house of all the money and jewels it contained, 91/a
during several days delivered themselves up to a continue
orgie in Valencia. Finally, they were arrested, belt
boasted of the transaction, and publicly related ull•
details. Selfa was condemned to death; the other an
having died in prison, and the two women to imprisons
for life, and to witness the execution of their accoraP'
with the garotting collar on their necks. They unateel;
went this portion of their punishment with the grey
-

effrontery.

the
to cross the line, and the Coroner replied that it Was to
duty of the company to watch over the safety 0f topeople,
people, and they should be prevented from going over.l its°l
dangerous place. The superintendent answered t'.os

that way ; to which the Coroner rejoined that the comPo;:id
would risk being indicted for manslaughter, and W
have to compensate the widows and children of those Web 5
