The most shocking theatre horror ever known is that of the burning of the Ring Theatre Ut Vienna, on Thursday night last, with loss of life estimated at near 600. The theatre was lighted by electricity and it is now said that the fire started under the stage with the letting on of the lights. It is the largest and finest theatre in the city, and there were 2,000 people in it when the fire broke out. Tanks of water over the stage and an
 iron curtain intended to shut off the stage from the auditorium, were not used at all, either because tue people in charge were frightened out of their senses, or because the
 fire spread too rapidly The drnp a.-..is haul not yet been raised and the audience were for many minutes unaware of their danger Sud- denly the whole front of the stage blazed up, and the frightened crowd rushed for the doors, shrieking aud trampling upon each other. These were even. worse arranged for such an emergency than those of the worst of our theatres, and were soon blocked up. Soon there came an explosion of the gas tank under the pit, and the narrow, intricate passages leading from the galleries were in total dark ness. The most crowded of these was the upper or fourth, and in ll.is there were no windows whatsoever. The lower galleries had windows from which numbers escaped by springing upon blankets while others were killed or badly hurt in the attempt. In short time, however, the whole theatre was in blaze and 1t is that that near 600 men women and children were actually roasted in the flames The loss is more than double that of the dreadful theatre fire in Brooklyn. Be- sides those burnt there are some 900 more who are either fatally or very seriously injured.

An official or semi-official journal attacked the leader of that party and in consequence most of them stsyedaway from a soiree Bismarck gave soon after. Then followed attractions ID the offending newspaper, but everything is far from lovely between the popish and the absolutist wings of the Conservative party.
