Pan Tuxatae.—That wonderful creation of Shake- speare’s mighty mind, “Hamlet,” was produced last night at the Park, with scenery and costumes of classic elegance. Mr. Charles Kean, a king everywhere else in hus profession, was content (and so were his audience) to be the “Prince” last night, and Mrs. Kean took the part of Ophelia. By the way, we have not seen Mrs. Kean looking so well, in any of her admirably perfermed characters, as she did last night in Ophelia. Never have we felt so much the truth of the poet’s observation, that there is pleasure in grief—for that which so faithfully pourtrayed, drew forth a deal of pleasurable emotion, albeit of a tender and pathetic kind. Not considering this part, however, it being at best but a subordinate one in the play, as worthy of the powers of Mrs. Kean, it is enough to observe at present, that her elucidation of Ophelia’s gentle but profound grief, her mental aberra, tion, and maiden simplicity, was inimitable.

St) je that some dozen years have not proved sufficient for the dis- covery of the beauties in the soliloquies, until the magic sound of Mr. Kean’s voice, la force de son savoir faire, have given it anew soul, and new graces altogether. His scene with his mother, and that which takes place during the mock tragedy, were indescribably powertul, and so true to nature, that the house was the essence of silence if, while they were going on. Mr. Dyott made a capital Ghost. Mr. Bass was droll in the part of Polonius.

Cony & Blauchard. Last evening the “Idiot of the Shannon” was presented to a crowded house. In this drama Messrs. Cony and Blanchard, who are two of the most celebrated pantomimists of the day, both appeared. Previous to the drama the laughable farce of “Sprigs of Laurel” was played, and the evening closed with the beautiful drama of Mazeppa, in which Mr. Milner, lashed on his powerful horse, made some terrific leaps. To- night “Rookwood,” the ‘Idiot of the Shannon,” and a new farce called the “Railroad Station” will be per formed. Castiy Ganpex.—In this weather, when every body has the blues, we know of no prescription so good as to go to some one of the places of amusement in this city, where fun reigns triumphant, and laugh them off. Pro, minent among these places stands Castle Garden. Last evening the burlesque company presented a very laugh, able travestie of the Bohemian Girl, called the ‘“ Virgi- nian Girl.” The original music is sung, and the bur. lesque abounds in funny incidents. Previous to tho ope- raa vocal concert was given by thecompany. To-night the samo bill is presented.

Two were blown up and several were pulled down, to stop the spread of | the fire. The fire originated in a building in Queen street. There were no lives lost. [From the Montreal Herald, Oct. 4.] The fire which has laid low sq vast an amount of roperty, and rendered rary hundreds of our fel- Tow citizens houseless and homeless, broke out at about a quarter after two o’clock this morning, in a coffee-grinding establishment in street, Griffintown—the wind at the time was blowing briskly from the north-west, and carried the flakes of fire aud the flames with appalling rapidity among the wooden sheds and outbuildings in the neigh- borhood. Mr. Wragg’s nail factory, which ad- joined the house in which the fire commenced, was almost immediately in a blaze, and from it the d oying element was driven by the wind over an area of more than four acres in extent, enclosed by Wellington street, Nazareth street, College street, and the street in which the fire broke out This area, although containing many fine stone and | brick buildings, was chiefly occupied with wooden houses, sheds and workshops, the abode of a dense but poor population. The fire companies were early on the ground, but until about four o’clock, when the conflagration had extended from College street to the front of Wellington and Nazareth street, sweeping through Mr. Spiers’s extensive workshop—in the yard of which were large stacks of seasoned timber—and extending to the corner of Wellington and Nazareth streets, occupied by Mr. McNaughton, grocer—all their endeavors were unavailing tocheck the progress ofthe flames. Mr. Ferrier, our ever active Mayor, was early on the ground, and about this hour, in accordance with his worship’s requisition, several companies of the 98d Highlanders, and a detachment ot Artillery, under Major Evans, reached, what might well be called, “ the scene of action.” A great number of houses had then been burned or were blazing, and the fire extended itself to the south and east with fearful rapidity. It was now evident that it could not be arrested, pe with the aid of gunpowder. The Mayor accoraingly instructed the officer of artille to blow up a large brick building, facing Nazaret street, and next Mr. McNaughton’s. This was done without any eflect—nay, the force of the explosion carried the fire from the house destroyed across the street, and thus extended its sway. Mr. MeNaugh- ton’s extensive premises were next laid low—a keg of powder having been placed in a cupboard in the centre of the house, which, being ignited, exploded and scattered the walls and fire in all directions.— This gave a decided check to the farther spreading of the flames, but it was not without the most vigo- rous and persevering efforts of the firemen and the military, that the South side of Nazareth street,with the exception of one house, was saved, and the fire ultimately extinguished between 7 and 8 o’clock.— Upwards of 109 houses have been destroyed, and, of course, their inmates rendered houseless. We person yxander Murray, who, at the time of the alleged robbery, was his particular companion and chum. The defence was that the money had taken from the complainant, for safe keeping, whilst he was in a state of ebliviousnesa; but this was denied by the pros- ecution, and the jury found the accused guilty. A colored man named Jacob Potter, was, on the testi- mony of Francis Vandevoort, David Morris, and Francis C. Vandervoort, convicted of arson in the third in setting fire to a barn. The same reign: ed on a acral indictment for another similar offence, but, in this case, the jury acquitted him. Sebastian Pons, indicted for an assault with intent to kill, pleaded, under the advice of counsel, and with the consent of the Court and District Attorney, guilty of committing an assault and battery only. John D. andeuburgh, pleaded guilty toa charge of selling liquors without license. _ A man named James Kelly, indicted for defrauding Mr. Matthias,clerk, of certain moneys, under fe was found uilty, ‘and remanded for sentenc William Hust, charged with an assault and battery, having made atonement with his accuser, with the conaest) of the District Attorney, a noille prosequi was entere: Cornelius Ahern, indicted for a misdemeanor, not ap- aring to take his trial, the recognizances of his sureties Carnal jus Kennedy and Hugh Laing) were declared for- feited. Among several other bills of indictment brought in by the Grand Jury, were several for assault battery fainst the Pacific street rioters—Edward Riley, John [cCormick, Wm. Jonans, John Burns, Michael Barlow, and Francis Huwley. The Courts will open at half past 10 o'clock this morning. Cernonen’s Inquests.—Andrew Oakes, Esq. held an inquest at his office 163 Fulton street, upon the body of the child mentioned in yesterday’s Herald as having been found floating inthe East River, encased ina cigar box, near the Jackson Ferry. A highly respectable jury, of which George Hall, Esq. @: layor, was foreman, were summoned on the occasion, and after a patient in- vestigation, they found that the deceased came to its death by causes tothem unknown. They also rendered 9 verdict that the body of the child was thrown into the river by Edward r, its father, who was se- quently arrested by officer Manning, ona warrant issued by Justice in. The same Co! was also called Bpen last evening to hold an ingu 1 house of John Bergen, Flatlands, upon the body ofa man named John Jackson, aged 70 native of Scotland,who was accidentally drown- e bay on Saturday last. Mr. George Wyckoff was the only witness examined, and the ih, found a dict in accordance with the facts stated. ‘The dece |, who has been for some time intemperate, is suppo to have a family living in New York. ‘ ed Tuat Duer.—The military gentleman who was re- ferred to in Monday’s Herald, as having beena party concerned in th duel which was a ed to take pla t9 o’clock on Friday morning last, nies in the most emphatic terms, that he had any know- ledge of, or connection with, the transaction further than on the previous night to putto bed the individual who gave the challenge ; and to whose wild and incoherent ions,on such an eccasion, he paid no attention. arders in the house, all’ of whom are of the highest respectability, corroborate his statement, and, in other respects sustain him in the account which he gi’ of the affair. Fexce Houses ix Baooxtyy.—If the Police officers of ives Brooklyn and would unite together for the purpose of acc omplishing a great public geod, instead ot indulging in petit 3 and unwise competition, jealo they might, on curelally comparing not nd cautious+ ly advis with each other, discover, as we are credibly informed, three or four large depositories for stolen goods in this city, the chiet managers of which are con- nected with the most desperate, and daring gangs of thieves and burglars in the United States. Opp Fe.tows.—A grand Installment of officers took lace at the Brooklyn Lodge (No. 26) last evening, when Fre rick Blair, Es G.; J. Pitts, Eaq., as Vice Grand; and Messrs. Joseph A. ‘Allen as Treasurer and Secretary. Messrs. i Edward Hardy, the well known stage proprie- tors, were also unanimously elected “brothers” of the worthy order. Pouce Irems.—A very serious riot took place at the Catherine Ferry y' y morning, originating in a dis pute between three of the employers of the Company, d three brothers of the name of Denithorne. One of the latter was most brutally attacked, and vat serious- ly injured. The persons who thus maltreated him were arrested by officer Felt, and held to bail to answer for the outrage at the Sessions. A few days since, another person named Toombs was kicked and beaten in the same neighborhood, but his wounds were healed by the payment to him of a ten dollar bill.

Weatuer 1n Canapa.—During the past month of September, the weather has been ;vet, stormy and disagreeable. Hardly two days of consecutive fine weather have been enjoyed; butin lieu, rain, storm, sleet and mist, have been the daily ob- | servances of the weather wise. Any one landing fresh trom England in Canada, would have thought himself in another Portion of that Island, inst of meeting with, of which he had doubtless h 80 much at home, the bright blue skies and almost eternal sunshine of an Upper Canadian Autumn. All this, however, may come in due season, but the inauspicious commencemnt of the present month, October, does not promise greatly.—ingston, Ca- nada, Whig, Oct. 3. ARREST oF pt ep ef Sheriffs J.
