The tragedy of “ Brutus, or the Fall of Tarquin,” was acted. Mr. Marshall, in the character of Brutus, reflected great credit on himself, and was loudly and frequently applauded. Mrs. Broadley, as Priestess of Rhea, made a strong impression, being pos- sessed of a fine idea of the performance of trazic scenes. The whole company sustained their several characters in such good style as will warrant @ re-attendance of all who saw it. The laughable piece of the * Mysteries of Odd Fellowship,” was played, Mr Burkeas Mr. Buey- Whenever Burke is cn hand there is always plenty of fun, The drama of “ Charlotte Temple” was 180, formed, and in such character, too, as almost made the play seem a reality. Things are done up right ‘at the Bowery, and that is the place to which going once, is sure to create a wish to go again, Cuatuam Toeatae.—Last night, at the Chatham,was for the benefit of Mr. McFarland, better known as Little Johnny, and there was a house fall, from top to bottom The melo-drama of “Ambrose Gwinette” was per- formed, Mr. Raffile in the character of Ned Graylin, which was done to the entire gratification of all present Mr. Sutherland, as Ambrose Gwinetie, played his part in his usual unsurpassed manner.

Srereamaaxiecux Musicat Soctzty.—The seventh concert of this ovlebrated band took place last night, at the Tabernacle, and was attended by the elise and fashion of the city, who were attracted, no doub‘, by the great fame of these musiciaus. Their soft, clear and mellifiuous notes, either in waltz or march, quadrille or overture, are 80 harmonious—-the musical mind is so enraptured and enchained by their brilliant execution and combined melody—that when the last picce in t! programme is played, the audience seem anxious fora repetition of the performance, and regret their depar- ture from a circle of the sweeteet tones and most inspir- ing sounds—sounds sent forth with such care and pre- cision, with the auxiliary aid of several brass instru. ments, the tones of which are breathed with such a fine, modulating science and sweetness, th t every otber in- sirument can be distinctly heard, and yet all th sary power of the bass notes, which are th mony. is still preserved throughout every bar and stave. It may be considered by some, that we speak too highly of this band ; but let the unbieased musical critic attend their concerts, and listen to their martial airs and overtures—to their delightful waltzes, and, sbove sil, to seme of the plaintive melodies of their native laud, which are whiepered to the ear with such deli- cacy of tone, gentisness, and sweetness, and deciine in such exquisite melody, that, when passed, tho mind seems as if kened from rosy dreams of the world of harmony. The firet piece was a grand march, which showed off the brass iustrum-nts to great _advautage he next, overture to the opera, “Fra Diavolo’ by uber, in which the whole band was in motion, dis- played the rare abilities of the performers in their cor- rect reading, precise time, aad even ictonations ‘The lnsignideant waltz, by Strause, was excellent, and the finale of the first part, fcom the opera “The Siege of Corinth,” was executed with great acience. The varia- tions for the flate, played by Fr. Rie:zel by au, was eS with such graceful shakes, as to elicit s round of cheers f om the audience. The Steadeile Quadrilles were lively and in- epiriting. and the European Bi pourri, by Morelli, eontainiog some beauti: favourite operas, was a delightful bien t sounds and unsurpessed harmovy. The overture to the opera “Oberon,” by Weber, evinced great musical shill and sound discipline; and “ Minus’s Morniag Salute.” principally executed by the leader and two other violin players, was a splendid performance--the shifting and Deautiful blending of halt tones, were given with great precision and sweetness The grand gallop, with song closed the entertainment; bot the audience were so enraptured, that they would bave more, and they cheer- tailroad over- Miss Julia Turoball and Mr. G.

The ball room was brilliantly lighted, and the orchestra filled with an able body of musicians. There ‘wag & goodly number present—as many as could be com. fortably accommodated. ‘The promenade from the dressing to the ball room a! forded us an excellent opportunity to make observations on the dress and appearance ofthe ladies. Thre- things ticularly struck us in their appearance: The inn- nite variety in their physiogpemy—American—for the Americans have a national characteristic in their li- terature, have features which distinguish them from other nations—English.French,Dutch, in fact. of nearly every patioa under the sun, not excepting the Romau and Grecian. Ancther, the graceful ease and suif com- mand with which they enteted the ball room—nothing of that simpering, shecpieh, look often exhibited by Eu- ropeai in ladies They reemed to possess the calm, coilec- ted looks of conscious innocence, and independence, so much eulogised by Tocqueville.

Poles Intelligence, Morning Scenee—Watch Returns before Justice Drinkr.—Yesterday morning, at the return of prisoners before the magistrate, from the different wards, were two interesting specimens of male and female humanity, who luxuriate by night, and sleep by day,on the bon ton of ragonlity, the Five Points. ‘Che female, who called her- self Louisa Sherwood, exhibited the appearance of hav- ing been once a weil proportioned and good looking girl, but from the constant habit of drinking the horrible vi- triol and water, commonly cailed rum, sold at gery kept in the vicinity of her domieil, locate uy atrevt, on the Points, she resembled anything but a wFaceful form, being distorted with rum blossoms on the face; nd ber figure was swollen and puffed up, showing the awful effects of desipation.

At this word, which struck on their ears like a charm, Louisa smiled, and Dick drew up hia heavy eyeliis; bis Both hurried out of the offive together, appareatly well satisfied with only recsiving the nighi’s lodging in the wetch-bouse. ‘The next party called up before his honor was two young men of genteel appearance, clerks in a store situ- ated in the lower part of Maiden lune, who were both detected by oMlcer Floyd, of the Ind ward police, con- siderably in liquor, upsetting boxes, and otherwise act- ing in @ very disorderly manner, about 10 o'clock the night previous.

He aiso represented that he had a contract with the general port office, for the delivery of all letters de- livered in New Orleans; empioyed seven clerks, and was under bonds of $4000 for the fulfilment of the con- tract; this, together with other e 8 operations, brought him in $700 a day.

A very large, respectable, and attentive audience was present on the occasion. Mr. Rykman was unanimously called to the chair; Mr. Barr was appointed Seeretury. Mr. Baxen, of Philadelpbia, then addressed the meet- ing on the subject of reform in the matter of land) Mr Baker went briefly into a view of the propriety of limit. ing the possession of land, and showed the evil of suf- fering @ monopoly. This evil was such that even in California, the speculators had swallowed up the best of the land. One man had bought up for himself thirty miles of land. Honace Guervny, Esq. then addressed the meeting, and was met withloud and continued cheering from the whole assemblage. fle began with remarking upon the necessity ofa general and thorough reform, which Idea he illustrated by the motion made in the French Na- tional Convention at the period of the greatest agony of the French Revolution, by a member who moved to ar- reat all the enffhies of the Republic at onee. So Mr G that all tho evils which presrad upon the in- all the bad laws and evil policy which social life, might, if possible, be arrested, out off and exterminated, not in litte frarments but at once, Mr. G. then proceeded to expatiate upon the evils, the difficulties and tha impediments whioh at his very outevt, met the honest and genuine settler, the real cultivator of the soil. The real settler is generally a poor man. When he has paid the ex- penses of his removal to the Weat, he eeidom has more than a few dollars left in his pocket, He then goer upon the land, works hard, clears hima little spot, aud fences it; he has a pre-emption right to the land but it taust be paid for within two yer Now, during thos» two years, he has work enough to doto support himself and family, and clear a little land. How cin be acquire roild apecte enough to pay the demand of the goverment? The consequence ia, that if he does not raise the money required, he is liable to be stripped of the fruits of all his lebor, himselt and family turned destitute out again upon the world, and his little farm taken from under his feet. Some foreigner comes, and sees: his little clearing, sod covets it; and then repairs to the land cfllcs, and puts his mark upon it. It is now sold for money, to = man who haa done no work upon it, and he who has labored and made it worth what it is, is turned out Ifthe neighbors should prevent the purchaser from com- ing personally to turn out tho settler and enjoy- his labors, ho has only to go to St. Louis or some city where he may live and send word to the rettler, requiring him to pay #0 much for his own place to thisfspeculator It 44 gone, by law, from the man, the real settler, and given by law to money, and to one who, perhape,never intends to settle or to labor, Mr. G. commented at some length,and very clearly and forci- bly, upon the gross moral and political injustice of this atrocious m. Mr. G, then depicted with equal _plainness force, the condition of desola- tion to which a new country is reduced by the livense which the lsw glves to the moneyed man, real- ding at a distance, to hold lands, and lock them up from use and improvement, and prevent the actual settler from clearing or possessing the land. Mr. G. stated, from what he himself had reen in a late tour to the West, how, in the neighborvood of Chicago, aud other cities, speculators in distant eastern cities had pur- chared whole tracts, which Jay idie like a desert, preventing all improvement in the country. G expressed his bope that the time was not far off when a reform wouid be effected in this matter ; and ho hoped to see the day when the settler who had no money, would be able toget land, und the non-settler and non-worker, who bud money, would not be able, with all his money, to get land. [This sentiment, most, happily expressed, was unanimously and rapturouriy applauded.] Mr. Gresley proceeded to. explain and developo two great ideas and purpores of reform—the Ist, that there ought to be ao limitation to the extent of any one man’s possession of land. The second, that each man ought to have se- curity and cet ainty attached to hishomestead Mr. G entered into » very interesting calculation, showing how. in proportion as population increesed. landlords more from the land, and £0 the laborer was taxed the more, and the farmer paid more rent. Thus the benefits of the improvements of a large population only or cbief. ly redound to the landlord. After some further highly interesting and usaful re- marks upon the present and past condition of tha work- ing classes of New York, Mr. Greeley read the foil +wing resolutions, which were put and carried unanimously: Whereas, The experience of years proves to us that. as elaboring class, we are sinking down to the leval of the pauperized mosses of the old world; Aud whereas, message of the President of the United States that the prosperity of the nation is yearly @ statement also. endorsed im the message just sent to the Legislature of shia State by the Gover- nor—we solemnly declare, as the working classes of this city, that such increased prosperity has not comes home tous. Our renta are rising, wiile at the same time our wagesara falling,and the necessaries of life command higher prices than for many years hitherto, thus limit- ing usin the quantity we oan procure Added to this, the labor market hasbecome overstocked, thus render- ing the chances of employment more and more precari- ous. Resolved, Therefore, That we look for a remedy to these grievances to the opening of the public domain for the use of actual rettlers, and we urge the working classesot this country to join us in demanding the pas- sage of such a law byour national govurament. Resolved, That we earnestly press upon the attention of the Legislature the necessity of un early adoption of the rerolution offered September 17th, 1847. by m special committee of the House. to whom was referred & memo- rial on the subj-ct of the freedom of the public lands, the exemption of the homestead. and the limitation of the quantity of land to be ohtained by any individual hereafter; and again presented by the Hon. Mr Bowie, of New York, on the 8th day of January, 1943, and which read as foliow: “Reeolved, (if the Senate coneur,) that the public lands are the eymmon property of the people, and of right shonid be held and appropriated for their common use and benefit, aad for no other use or purpose what- ever. ‘Resolved,(if the Senate concur.) thet our Senators in Congrees be instructed. and our R ntatives in Con- uress requested, to nse their best efforts to procure the passage of a law to prohibit the sale of the public lands, and to cause them to be surveyed into lote of @ limited quantity, for the use of actual settlers.” Resolved, That tho above resolutions are just and politic, and that we call on Coneress to carry them into effet at the aarliest possible pertod. Resolved, That for reasons which must be obvious to every reflecting individual, the homestead, ton limited number of acres, should be exempted from all foro sale for any debt, or other liability, contracted aiter the pasrage of such law. Resolved, That a limit should be fixed to the of soil any individual may hereatter possess and hold in this State, because the earth is the common parent of all, and on whove borom we have as much right to be aod to rest as we have to breathe the air above it, or drink the water upon it; which right is now dented by | our laws, that permit wealthy individuuls to hold more of its surface than they can properly use, to the exclu. | sion of others, who are thereby made aliens in the land | of their birth, and retused, at the option of their fe lows, nourishinent from the breast of that mother whic the great Author of life made amply sufficient for the | sustenance and comfort of the whole human family. Mr. Gresley having concluded the reading of the above, fat down amid the ioud and rapturous applause of the | assemblage The Rov. Mr, Incuxs was hereupon introduced to the meeting, when Mr. M.T. O'Connor was loudly called | for; upon which | Mr. O’Coynon came forward, and renpectfally do- | olined intruding himself upon the meeting until his Fespected friend, the Rev. Mr. 1., should have been hear The Rey. Mr. Ivoues hereupon proceeded to address the meeting, in favor of the goneral principles of the great measure of lund reform, when Mr. O’Cosnon was loudly called for again. Oo com- ing forward, he said that the gentlemen who preceded him had so ably demonstrated the advantazes—the jue- tice—nay, the immediate necessity, of making the mea- sures of the national retorm party the basis of our repub- Kean social rystem, that, nd doudt, many considered it would be only necessary to brirg the auljeot before Coo gress, to have it made the law ofthe nation, Ifthere be aay such in this room, they decvive themacives. The | struggle for ite accomplishment lies rurrounded by de- feat—by treachery—by chicansry, aud, probably, by | massacre and bloodeied This ia no new struggle io | which we are engaged. It is aa old almost as the race of | man, History, replete with wars aad strife, furnishes us | with a few glimpros of the world’s watly social condition. There we fi..d. that no matter how barbarous the nation, | the strong favariably sought to get possession of the aoil, | with the view of reduciog the weak to a miserable de: | peadence. (Applause ) ‘The Jewish laws afford us many | passages illustrative of the exertions of the governing power to| stay the hand of the monopollser of the so}l__ Periodically the farms and houses which money had wruog from the hands of their owners hed to be restored. And when new territory was aoquired, it was shared out to all who needed new possession. Christisnity superseding these laws and usages for securing the family of the Jews against per- etual poverty, has not given us as yet any substitute for them. ‘The Presence of a minister of the gospel here this evening, gives promise that the blessings of chris- tianity, which teaches of another world, will not siop there, but will lead us how best we can use this earth we dwell upon.

Tho accout of his death is « grand and enobling picture of the old hero; nor did he fall, altsough opposed by one hundred, until he had laid twenty of them dead at his feet. The fate of the younger Gracchus js still more in point, astothe lengths orisiocracy will go to frustrate the adoption of laws to limit the quantity ot lend to be mo- aed by the monied ciass Not only did they kill self, but they armed their dependents, and slew three thousand persons who were in favor of the preject, and who were in the forum t» vote forit.
