On this account, many of the oporn-goers wore out Jast evening who have not heen ont before, and astonishod the regular .goers with white tios and avwallow- tails, Undoubtedly thore were many present who went to study, and Listened appreciativoly, and enjoyed the music; but we fear that thoy were in the minority, and that another sea- son they would be tho only sttendaute upon '* Lohengrin.” It is somothing, however, to get a hearing for Wagner, for thero aro points in tho first act, eepecially in the finaio, which would rouse even the duilost listener with ite glorious dramatic, pootic, and musical combina- tion, It shows that Wagnor is making headway when ho draws better than anything cla in tho seasou's ropertoire, even if it is only fashion and curiosity that impal poople to go. Again, it is vory good thing for the managerial oxchequer, and makes some componsation for tho slim roturna from other nights, when Vordi, and Donizetti, and Gounod fall to draw. It waa plucky act for the manager to give 1t at all, for it was o risky experiment to transplant this tough, hardy Gorman flower into Italian soil, Thero will bo many who will thank him for it, however, even if itonly affords glimpses of Waguer's congum- mate workmanship. ‘Tho performance was smoother thon on the firat evening, except in tho matter of the cho- rusos, Which wore as successfully mixed and shaken up a6 thoy wore bofore. ‘This is hardly to be wondorod at on the part of a chorus which has hitherto boon accustomed to jog through the easy numbers of the Italian stage, hold up by tho orchestra. In Wagner’a work they must rely upon themeclves, They hove fittle or nothin to got hold of, and, if one or two getsatray in tho maze, thoy are all vory likely to get snarled up, with stall hopo that tho inatrumentation will bring thom hack again. The choral numbers, therefore, as might hava beon expected, woro in the main mangled cruelly, some of tliem past recogoition. Tho ‘principal artists, a8 upon tho first repro- sentation, lont their best efforts to mako ita success, Albani'’s Elsa, while it lacks in force and depth of passion, is a vory aweet, gracoful, and tonder creation. It does not come up to tho heroic grandour yo oxpeot to behold in tho maiden who loves the Knight of the Holy Graal, and who, like Joan of Arc, hss beatific visions ; it does tot reach the height of ccatnoy and supornatora! bliss, which pertain to tho heroine of the old epic romance, who typifies the Christian force contending against Wadan and tho otber divinitios of Vriovland heathen- jam, typified by Ortrud and Frederick, but is nevertheleas a very swoot and boautiful picture. Miss Cary is entitled to great credit for tho diligont study ato haa given tho music of her art, the excollont manner in which she sings fe trying measured, and for the spirit and onergy which sho throws into tho yongelul achoniing Orfrud in the second act; but why is sho so unconcerned through the firat ach? ‘Trucs, abo ban little singing todo, but every word aad evory note, and with Wagner word and note go togother, concoro her, whilo she sits through tho sot without manifesting any more interest in the vislons of Elsa, the proclamationa of tho Herald, ond the arrival of the Knight, than any ono of tho fisg-bearera, ‘T'ho whole act is tull of Stggeations for action which almost thrust themselyas upon anartist. She should improve them. In the parlance of the stage, she should fill the scone with ‘ business." Qarpi, Dol Puonto, and Seviara fill thoir rolea well, especially tho former, who diaplays wonderful endurance, and sings through the whole three houra with sd- mirable frothness, vigor, aud dramatic effect, Mr. Hall ia also ontitled to oradit for the oxpres- sive and vigorous manner in which he intonos hig heraldic utterances. As thoroare many who have not yot boen ablo to obtain seats, and numeroua requests havo beon sent to the management to givo a third por- formance, it has boen decided to give it again on Friday evening, in place of “ Rigoletto,” which had boen proviously announced. This evoning, “Tho Murtiege of Figaro” will be presented, with tho following cast: Ag this will be the ls troupo hae ever given the opera, the performance will bo a novelty, ‘THE ACADEMY, “King John” ranks among the unfamiliar dramas of Shakspoaro to those who roly upon the wtage for their knowledge of the bard, It {a notin tho general repertory of stare, and, pos- seasiug losa of consecutive interest, has little in common with tho moro famillar of tho tragedics or historic dramas of the great author, Its historical inaccuracy, too, robs it of any claim to attention in that direction. But ss a work of Nterary boauty it ranks among the best of Shakspoare’s creations, There are charactora in it of deepest complex interost, and passages of power and beauty unexcellod in tho wholo range of the drama.

The flames were fairly at their dostructive work before s stream of water conld be brought to bear on them, but in about ten minutes thereafior they wera entirely extinguished. Thera waa s strong woat wind blowing at the time, As to the origin of the fire there can be no doubt that it was tho work of an incendiary. The fira wag ret in’ an addition on tho back of the bakery, and its course can be distinctly traced. Pete Zender, who leased the houre of Shaffer, charges the proprietor with the work, while Bhaffor says Zendor wanted tothrow up tho Jeaac, and took this moans to accomplial: his purpose.
