Private Theatricals at the British LIE.
CATION.

If the fire of social enjoyment seems to have
lost some Of its ardor in the hearts Of the older
members Of our society, il has none the less
kindled q spark in the breasts Of the younger
branches. Without wishing to be guilty of tau
tology, the British Legation was yesterday
evening the scene of . most charming gather
ing; indeed, any entertainment under the
auspices Of Lady Thornton is always 90. On
the present occasion, however, the fair hostess
ceded her right to her daughters, who more
than proved the atmosphere they had lived in
by the grace and ease with which they conduct
ed their juvenile party; or, rather, theatricals
for Of such was the treat Of the evening. Short
ly after O'Clock the numerous guests began to
arrive, and were conducted into the dining
room, where miniature stage Of absolute per-
lection had been raised. The curtain rose, and
disclosed parlor in a village inn, the scene of
one act comedy, entitled "a Slight Mistake"
III would be impossible for us to enter into the
comparative merits of all the actors in this
play, but If two names might be mentioned in
particular, Mr.. q. Johnston, whose admirable
delineation of an old woman was far in advance
Of his years, and Miss X: Myer, as Rosina,
the audience were unanimous in affirming that
the only mistake" of the piece of piece was its
brevity. This ef..nr was not, however, to re-
main long unremedied, as after an interval or
the performance OF the popular French come
dy, LA Grammaire." play of considerable
length, and one affOrding scope for the display
Of histrionic talent. which was zealously seized
by the actors, among whom were NJ. lie Comte
Swieykowski, Francois Caboussdt;) NJ. f. Cooke,
lPOitrinds;) Miss Rodgers, (Bldnche;) Mis-
Thornton, Nine. Nachut;) Miss F. Thornton,
(Jeanne.( The part of Francois Catoussdt was
given with great eclat, while Mr.. Cookies act
ing entirely reversed the old adage that too
many Of 'em spoil the broth. Miss Rodgers, a.
Blanche, charmed everybody, not more by her
acting than by her personal attraction.
1t is almost needless to add that Mis-
Thornton's part was done to perfection, and
that the audience frequently greeted her with
rounds of applause, in which her sister, Miss
Fanny, likewise shared, as her Improvisation
of the clumsy servant was irresstibly amusing
and natural. Nothing could have been more
successful than the whole evenings entertain
ment, and the company separated at a late
hour. with a sigh of regret that all was over.
Mr.. Charlton, one of the attaches of the Lega-

manager, as to rival the happiest efforts of our
popular MIR. Saville, and contributed in no
small degree to the success of the evenings en-

The Bridge Disaster In Illinois.
LATEST ESTIMATES OF THE LOSS OF LIFE

CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
Dispatches from Dixon, ILL.,, saw the bridge
as torn and broken, hangs from the piers, aud
is an appalling sight in itself. At each end
men, women and children were crushed into
the river, while at the north end, where the loss
OF life was greatest, the bodies were held firmly
to the bottom of the .rver in the network OF
iron: Derricks for raising the fallen spans of
the bridge were got in place shortly before noon
yesterday, and five more bodies were recovered.
Forty bodies altogether have been recovered so
far. The number still known to be missing,
added to those whose bodies have been recoy,
cred, makes the list of killed seventy-fiye and
wounded thirty, two of whom have since died,
CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
The people were closely crowded on the foot
way, and the immense weight all on one side
was too much for the bridge. One of the cap
stringers snapped asunder and allowed the
north section to sag from the aputment, plunp-
ing into the river with its living burden. Be
tween the foot and wagon-ways was network
OF iron braces about nine feet high, and this
toppled over on the mass of humanity who
we're thrown into the river, and by it men, wo-
men and children were pinioned beneath the
water without power to help themselves, and
too firmly bound by the weight of iron to be
aided by their friends.
