BLONDIN IN D ÜBLIN. —Saunders's News-Letter
says :---1‘ Among the attractions provided for the
public during the present week, the foremost position must
be assigned to the engagement of the truly celebrated
Blondin by the directors of the Exhibition Palace. During
the past 18 months Blondin has made a tour through
Europe, earning golden opinions in the principal cities of
France, Germany, Italy, and Russia. The most eloquent
pens have been employed to record his achievements, but
no amount of praise has boon beyond his extraordinary de-
serts. His courage, skill, agility, grace, and ingenuity have
elicited the warmest encomiums, and he merits them all.
" The hero of Niagara," a title awarded Blondin by the
enthusiastic Americans, was fairly won, and every subse-
quent enterprise has only served to confirm the adven-
turous gymnast in his elevation. Blondin's performance
does not constitute the only entertainment offered to the
visitors of the Exhibition Palace. A theatre has been
fitted up for the exhibition of a series of tableaux, and s
variety of dances by Madame Jarlini's automata, peculiarly
suited to the holiday folk. An elaborate programme, now
in circulation, gives the details of the unique representa-

tion ; and wo have little doubt that the comtinations of
music, song, and Terpsichorean grouping will afford great
delight to all class of visitors.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting M.
Elie de Beaumont presented the academy with a copy
of the work he had communicated to that body last year, as
our readers may recollect, on the numerical data fixing, on
the surface of Franco and the adjacent countries, the inter-
sections of 29 great circles of the pentagonal network. This
book was also accompanied with the six sheets of the geo-
logical map of France, another of the great works under-
taken many years ago by the distinguished perpetual secre-
tary of the academy, in conjunction with the late M.
Dufeenoy. If. Elie de Beaumont on this occasion stated
the remarkable fact that the two maps, the geological ono
and that containing tho pentagonal network, being both
executed on the same scale, coincided perfectly if ono of
them was applied on the other. A communication was re-
ceived from 11. Dumour on tho composition of the stone
implements found in the Celtic monuments and among
savage tribes. The substances he considers aro amphibo-
lite, :Thalia°, diorite, saussurite, and sturotide, all minerals
containing large proportions of silieia, alumnia,' and oxides
of iron, besides other less important ingredients. M. Paul
Gory ais wrote a paper on the fresh water fish of Algeria,
stating that two genera more may be added to the list of
seven which had hitherto boon considered the only ones
existing in that country. Those genera are the Gobius and
Coptodua, the latter of which alone is unknown to the rivers
of Europe, and bears some resemblance to the Belli of the
Nile. A series of 24 cryptogamic preparations, stated to
gairiptdab;gelroro2aginlimpanied with a represent different states of the Merultus I.achrynaus, was
sent in by M. Leube, a German physiologist, who stated
