Buoapway Taeatne.—As is usual, there was a good at this theatre Inst night, and deservedly too, for t from the comforts of the house, the performances of the very first order. The entertainment com- imenced with Shakepeare’s celebrated, comedy of the Merchant of Venice,” in which Mr. J. Wallack, Jr tusiained the character of Shylock. Of this gentle- it is almost needless tospenk; his characters gene- y being persovified in such taste as to win the the audience, and particularly in of the heartless Jew. Throughout ein every act, the usurer was most perfectly portrayed ; and in the trial scene, where his hopes are overthrown by the counsels of Portia, he was unsurpassed in every line and through every suc- ceeding turn in the piece; evineing the greatest joy at the thought of taking the forfeiture of Bassanio’s bond, and wild with rage at disappointment. He was frequently and loudly applauded by the admiring au- dience, who had a right conception of his superiority in the character he sustained. Mrs. J. Wallack, as Portia, was also exceedingly successful; beautifully sustaining the character of the devoted woman in the hour of Jessica, by Mrs, Sergeant, was most cordially ived. especially in that part where she forsakes her father, and the faith of the Israelites. for the love she bore tothe Christian, “ Lurenzo,”’ which was played by Shaw. ‘The piece, in every character, was admira- y performed, and the appropriate scenery gave it a most powerful effect. The performances concluded with the celebrated and touching drama “ The Rent D: in which Mr. Wallack appeared as “ Martin ."’ and Mrs. Wallack, as “ Rachael Hey- both of which characters were most per- fectly sustained. The part of * Bulfrog,” by Mr. Hadaway, was excellent. In comedy, this gentleman has no superior, ‘The present condition of the Broad- way Theatre, with the new patent ventilator, by which the house is always kept pleasant, and the su- perior company, render it the most pleasant and desi- rable place of amusement in the city ; and the perfect quiet. (save the thunders of applause) which pervades the house, has. and will make it, the theatre of the city. A first rate bill is offered for Monday night. the occa- sion of Mr. Lester's benefit, which cannot fail to draw an overflowing house. It is only necessary to go once, and the visit is sure to be repeated. Bowery Tueatre.—The diffloult tragedy of “ Ham- let was performed here last evening, in which the principal character Hamlet, was ably and effectively personated by that popular and gifted tragedian ,Mr. J.R. Scott. The entire performance passed off in a highly creditable manner. We arogratified to perceive that Mr. Seott and Miss Mary Taylor continue their engagements, and will appear on to-morrow evening, when the tragedy of “ Macbeth” will be performed Mr. Seoit will take hia benefit on Wednesday evening, the lust night of his engagement; and those who wish fun before it closes, should lose no time—as he considered the leading tragedian at present upon the American boards. ‘The bill will be found nly attractive, Miss Mary Taylor will appear in the ‘dy and also in the afterpiece. Niwro's, Aston Prace.—The fairy-like spectacle of ‘Le pas des Amourettes,”’ by the Viennoise children, at this delightful place of amusement, last evening, drew forth the most flattering evidences of admiration, and perhaps @ more numerous or more fashionable au- dieace never entered the building than was present on this oecasion, The popular furcetta of the “ Four Sis- ters. in which Mrs. Maeder appeared in four charac- ters. As Eugenia and Diana, she received considera- ble epplause, The grand divertisement called the “ Pol- ka Paysanne,” 1 y 24 of the juvenile danseuses, was loud- ly eneored ; but the most novel and interesting of all, was the “ Chinese Balabile,” from the ballet of “Tching Thang, Tehung,” by the whole troupe of Viennoises, 48 in number. To upureciate these wonderful chil- dren. they must be seen, and it also should be borne in mivd that the present week is the last one we shall have »n opportunity of witnessing their exhibitions, and we ueed not expect to look upon their like again. In addition to previous attractions of the past week, Mons. Bihin, the wonderful giant.appears on the boards of this establishment, ina new drama, adapted expressly for his peculiar talent, feats of strength, &e., entitled “ The Giant of the Forest. Cuatuam Turatne.—* Helen Oakleigh, or a Wife's Stratugem,” was performed last cvening before a crowded house—Mrs. G. Jones taking the part of He- len, which was wellperformed. The performances of the evening passed of with much éclat. The admirers of that truly popular andgifted Irish comedian, Barney Williams, will be gratified to learn that he appears here to-morrow evening, a8 Tim Moore in the “ Irish Lion.” and as Paddy Murphy in “The Happy Man.” Mr. F. §. Chanfrau and Miss S. Denin, having returned from a most successful enent in Boston, will also again appear in their original parts in the new local piece, “New York as it is.’ The bill will be found highly attractive, and embraces a combination of high amd varied talente—which must insure a jam house. Castie Ganven.—The delightful situation of this place draws nightly full houses, while the company amuse the audience by good and lively pieces. Last night the performance of the burletta of the “Water Witches” was received with universal approbation,afier which an “cperatic olio’ was performed by Miss Philips, Mrs. Frary, Mrs H. Philips, and Mr. G. man. which was received with great applause. The lauchable afterpiece of “ Family Jars’? concluded the performance, in which Mr, Holland, as “ Delyh.” wag rapturously received, and Mr. Andrews, as * Diggery For this evening the entertainment will be a grand sa- ered concert, to which the more sober and pious of the city may go without any scruples of conscience. It is a delightful place, and is well worth a visit. Strvenmaxkiscie.—The third grand concert of this musical company came off last kins at the Taber: nacle, before a very select audience. The Hungarian Gipsey March was the first piece, and was executed with great skill. Leinati’s Melodies, “ Waltz.” by La- bitzky, evidence the superior judgment of this truly talented band—they Vette such unity and harmo- ny throughout that the audience gave repeated marks their approbation. The next piece was the finale from “ Robert le Diable.”’ by Meyerbeer, which met with a similar reception. The Viennoise Carnival * Quadrille.”” by Strauss, had such a delightfully inspi- riting effect upon the audience that the entire of the company were in dancing motion. The Lucy Long * Polka? was sweetly executed, and the concluding piece of the second part, “ The Carnival of Venice. Burlesque,’’ was excellent, in the extreme sense of the ord—there was such melting melody and sweetness in every stave—in fact, such language breathed forth from pineteen instruments, the trombone sustaining a prominent part, that one imagined he heard “ conver- sation familiar to his et and sounds so euphonious as to call forth the dearest recollections of early scenes and pleasing associations. The words of the poet in relation to the charms of music may be strictly applied éo this band :— * Why should feeling ever speak, Since thou canst breathe her tale so well ?”” They give another concert on Monday evening, which no doubt will be well attended; but much ns we ad- mire this band, we regret to hear that they have not treated Mr. Reich, their agent with the gratitude he deserved from them, in using his best exertions to for- ward their interest. Crnisty's Mratnets.—This band of darkies will en- ter on another week to-morrow, under most favorable auspices. There appears to be no limit to their success, and they deserve all that they receive, both in coppers and applanse, ‘The slight derangement caused by the indisposition of one of the members, is repaired and ali goes well again. Banvanv’s Pasonama.—We do not know how much longer Banvard’s Panorama will yet remain hero, but we are sure it will coon be taken to Europe. All who have not seen it must therefore do #0, as the opportu- nity may be lost. ‘There will be no limit to the pa- tronage which it will receive across the water. Ho.cann, the inimitable comedian, now playing at Castle Garden, and receiving nightly the cheers of his audiences, takes a benefit there on Wednesday evening next, When not only an excellent programme will be presented, but he will also make a presentation, by way of prizes, to the ladis attendance. Mr. Holland is long known as an ex it actor, and deserves well at the hands of the citizens. We wish him a bumpor.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared on | bourd; all the delicacies of the season tlowing in abundance, and which was most faithfully attended to.

We need hardly tay that there loctures are in the highost dexree in- teresting.

Dr Potts, No. 27 Fifth avenue, A pcliceman of the Fifteenth ward was soon on the spot, and after some difficulty, succeeded in killing him.’ The dog was a large bull mastiff, and it is not known how long he had been run- ning at large before he was despatched. F'inr.—A fire broke out about seven o'clock yesterday evening, in the turning shop of A. H. Wagner, No, 382 Bleecker street, which destroyed property to’ the amoant of $1000, before the flames could be subdued, It originated from the steam engine. The property was fully insured. Police Intetligence. A Singulur Case.—Some four weeks ago Captain Cable, master of the ship Wilson Kennedy, from Liver- pool, arrived at this port, and shortly afterwards he vi- nited » house of disrepute, at No.1 Benson street, where he became acquainted with a young woman, call ng herself Sarah Robyon; when scarcely hud the captain visited her a week before Sarah took apart- ments at No. 54 Laurens street, where the captain like- wise took up his habitation. The captain was supplied freely with liquor, in which it was supposed some drug was added, causing a continued stupified insensibilit: on the captain for the last three weeks, during which time some $150 of the captain’s moncy vanished, toge- ther with two watcher, a quadrant, two gold chains, books, and other valuable property, brought up from the ship and deposited in the cere of Sarah. Information was given to officer Stokely, of the First ward police, and yesterday the necessary affidavits were made before Justice Lothrop. setting forth the above facts,who issued a warrant for her arrest, The captain was found in « low state, bordering on insanity, which authorized the magistrate in sending him to the Lunatic Asylum. nn- til he is somewhat rational, that will enable the justice in making a more complete examination. Sarah was committed to the Tombs for a further hearing. wtrrest of a Female Burglar.—A woman, by the name of Ellen Ross, was arrested yesterday, on a charge of breaking open a basement-door, situated in the house, No. 24 Oak-street, and stealing from « bureau drawer a $50 bank bill on the Mechanics’ Bank of thi: y the property cf Daniel Toomey, the occupaut of Wie premises, It appears, after the woman had committed the robbery, and net being able to read, sh» offered the biil toa Mr Piper for a dollar bill, who. on seeing the amount, detained the money, and caused tho accused to be arrested. The money was identified by Mr. Toomey, and Justice Luthrop locked her up for trial. Scenes at the Tombs.—Yesterday one of the po- licemen of the 6th Ward police brought before Justice Lothrop one of the blackest kind of darkies, calling himeelf Jacob Davis, ornamented with a splendid pair of moustaches. trimmed elegantly over a noble looking upper lip. The complaint preferred against him made by a Dutchman, called Diedrich Meyer, keeper of a sinall grog shop. at No. 19 Orange-street, who charged the negro with drawing a knife on him, with intent to stab him, Macistnate—Well, Mr. Meyer, what charge do you make against this black man ? Meven—Judge, he imgne berry bad man; he eomes into mine house last night night, and wanted me to drust him drinks, and I said to him no; ven you pays me vot you owes me for drinks now, den I vill drust you, He den draws out aknife, and dreadened to take mine life ; so I calls in de M.

If you'll please to hear me, I'll tell you all about it. [Well, go on, said the Judge.| ‘To be sure, | isin the habit of running a score wid dis man here. I owed him last week oight 2's, making 16 pence, which I paid him. Macistnats—What do you mean by eight 2's?

Macistrare—If you Dutchmen keep such rum holes en the Five Points, and sell out this horrible poison ed rum, at two cents a glass, which deranges the heads of these ignorant black nen, you must expect to suffer some oceasionally. My advice would be for you to shut up all such shops, and obtain your living in some respectable manner. and not by selling this poi- | | son at two cents a glass, which is almost cer! 11 death to all who drink it. ‘There is no evide to show that the negrohada knife; [am incline: nk that all the difleulty arose in consequence of ()\» negro not paying for the five drinks. | shall cas And off walked the negro, showing his white teeth, with a “yah, yah,” throwing up the whites of his eyes at the Dutchman, Aunsst or 4 Fvartive.—Ofticer Robt.

He absconded to this city, where he was followed by Mr. Cornish, who obtained the services of officer Brown, who got inform- ation that he had enlisted on Governor's Island, to which place the offer proceeded and took him in cus- tody.

Mr. Labriskie testified very fully as to the admissions of Galliard, and if ho is to be oredited, his testimony ia | very material, it appears that the referee has nndor- taken to frame his report in the shape of an opiulon, which, we think, to any the least, |s rather hazardous He has also uodertaken to exclude ci's tenti- mony, aud bitt for that we would not qaarrel with his | report, for it was his province to give that testimony | just as much eredit as he pleased; but we think he erred in excluding it altogether.

The street in front of the spacious and showy edifice was lined with car- rages of all sorts, from the gay and jaunty trotting gig to the plain and homely tarmer’s cart, together with a great array of horses, of all kinds, colo. and qualities, waiting to be passed under the har f Some of the old, wall- mer of the auctioneer. eyed horses, stood with their gaunt and callous bodies drawn up into the most unnatural shapes, looking ‘ike the image of despair before th: of the :uiernal regions, seeming to wéar in their theum-covered cyes, the sentiment, if not the pr cise langnage of Dante’s wor 1s—‘ Abandon hope who enter here!” Entering the building, we found a great crowd of carmen, coachmen, stable- keepers, farmers, professional men, gentlemen of leisure, bucks of the town, and indeed & fair repre- sentation from all the principal divisions of the world at large. Congpicuousamong the mass, was that never to be mistaken character, the genuine professional horse-dealer, or horse-jockey—a stont, hearty, rugecd, red fuced fellow, with a bright, quick, clear eye, a ready laugh and a knowing wink; a bold, fearless, hard-hearted, but still generous man; a brazen faced, bragging, auda- cious man, if you attempt to crowd him, but as polite and amiable, where he finds it for his inter- est to be so, as any man you will find ina thousand. The horse-jockey is not really a bad man—though Horse-flesh 18 considered dangerous property—he took his chance in buying, so must you, [tf you cannot discover a fault in a horse as quick as he can, that is your misfortune. He does not teel bound in honor, or honesty, to give you the benefit of his skill in making a bargain. The morality in horse-trading gives a sort of license to the most calculating deception, and calls it honesty. Your horse-jockey feels no compunction of consci about the matter. He is always a merry man, of anecdote, story, and song, particularly high- spiced in their character—he usually loves a lass, and loves a glass, and is altogether an independent, bright-witted, smart and thritty man. At Tattersall’s the species of horse jockey was quite plenty, and upon the alert. If you chanced to turn your eye towards a horse, with any sort of interest, up ered one of these jolly looking genie (a ready judge of human nature,) and egan praising the animal in good professional style. | ‘* A fine horse, sir, just from the country, (slapping him upon the rump to make him look lively) brought up by a farmer, for his own use— never hurt—a sort of family horse—driven by the ladies without any fear—good, strong, active, healthy animal—(lifting his tail)—sound as a nut, kind in any harness—goes his mile inside of three minutes—warranted, sir, or the money refunded.” And-so-{orth, and s0-o0a, to the end o! hour’s talk, if you choose to listen. tioneer had commenced his work, and so we tu ed our attention that way, in ho; r some- thing of that rich professional fun with which the: knights of the hammer sometimes enliven their argon—but, although a very good auctioneer, ie was not very amusing.

His inyi- tation was too exciting to be resisted, and the pi man disposed of his basket full of * patties” in a very short time. They were baked on small con- cave tin plates, and had an unusually taking appear ance. The oyster and clam pies seemed to be the greatest favorites with the company, who devoured from two to three dozen of them during the time taid there, ‘The pieman exhibited great skill pguishing a clam from an vy: ter pre, and in every instance, served itup, invitingly, just raising the crust, ond pouring in upon the pie a small quan- tity of oyster liquor from a cofiee-pot, in his ba ket, heated for the purpos A great familiarity seemed to exist between the pieman and his tomers, growing out of long acquaintance, pre bly. He also seemed to aspire to the reputation of a wit, and got up sundry jokes now and then, which seemed to suit the taste of his audience mightily. Nothing remarkable occurred during the sale.
