English Consul at Alexandria, writes to Mr.. Mac
cree's brother, giving short account Of the pro-
gress Of the party previous to the massacre. In
this he states that Mr.. Maccree had taken Mr..
Powell TO O rather dangerous part OF the
country, and 1t would have been better II they
had gone In another direction, where the
party would have been safer, the chiefs being
moro frieny, and where equally as good sport in
lion hunting might be obtained. Then the CONSUL

An AERIAL RIDE ON B1oYoLE.-At the Me-
chances Pavilion, yesterday, Paul Martinette
accomplished one Of the most perilous teats
ever attempted at public exhibition In this
city; by riding yelocipede backward and for
ward on single WIRE the whole length of that
mammoth building. The wire was stretched
from the front entrance Of the pavilion to the old
picture gallery OF the back, q distance Of two
hundred feet. In the centre OF the fountaiu
was placed an upright post to hold up the sag
Of the wire, so that the velocipede had to pass
over rather steep inclination to get over this
post. Martlnette, on the first velocpede ever ".
used in the pavilion. ran the machine at
smart pace to the top Of the post and remained
there several sec N; 8. when he started doTn ,sa
the incline on the other side, and balanced the
velocipede At the lowest level on the wire, and
then came the whole distance back to the
starting place, without turning himself or the
machine. When 1t is taken Into consideration
that tho wire. less than half an inch thick, was
suspended. twent feet from the floor, and a
tumble w1hld have probably been fatal, som,
idea OF the peril OF ,he feat may be formed.
Il vas performed with as much ease as If the
