The Freedly Case—Probable Loss of the Shop Swatara— Amusements—Marksts, §¢. | ‘The Coroner in his testimony in the Freedly case, i testifies that the prisoner offered him $600 not to take ‘ap the body of the deceased.

The appearance of the joist over- head, indicates that a rope had been suspended to it ‘The coroner was rigidly examined by the counsel for the defence, but adhered to hix statement that the prisoner had offered him $500 not to disinter the body, And stated that the impression it made on his mind, ‘was that it was intended as a bribe to blacken over the affair by a direlection of official duty.

Cards of invitation, of which the following isa copy, were distributed among the members of the Legislature, and other distinguished persons, yes- terday :— “In behalf of the citizens of Albany, the delegation representing the city and county of Albany, (in the Legislature.) request the pleasure of your company at Congress Hall, this evening, at 8 o'clock, Ronent H. Pauvs, Hina Banner, Joxt A. Wina, Davin Vaw Anxan. Albany, Saturday, April 7, 1849.” This invitation was very generally accepted ; and at 8 o’clock last evening the elegant parlors of Congress Hall, having been thrown open, were immediately thronged with pronls, consisting of members and officers of the islature, members of the lobby, and citizens of Albany. "This splen- did dinner was given by citizens of Albany asa consideration for the valuable services rendered them by the Legislature in voting a large sum of money to the city of Albany to pay her for ex- penses which she professes to have incurred in ‘cleaning out” or ‘clearing out” a pond, which is as yet mBeenotds ut which has been named by somebody ‘the Albany Basin;” whether it be a wash-basin, or a pool, or a sink, I do not know; but 1 do know that almost every year, under some shallow pretext, the State is called upon to appropriate immense sums of money from the public treasury to, support and prop up this antiquated and ‘sinking city, which, I venture to say, if the capital was removed, would be depopulated within ten years by every body except the Dutch aristocracy. 1 harbor no prejudices against this sect, but | am bound to say that members of this and former legislatures, have, with singular unanimity, declared to me that Al- bany and its fashionable society were intolerable, and that they were heartily sick ofit. A very apt illustration of the selfishness and inactivity of these people may be cited here with great propriety. | It is considered a singular circumstance that the city of Albany, though built upon beth sides of the Hudson river at this point, cannot, or will not, establish a ferry across the river adequate to the necessities of the people; the principal ferry, which is totally inefficient, was established and is main- tained by a foreign corporation, (the Boston Rail- road Company,) and the ferry boat, except on the arrival and departure of the trains at and from East Albany, is very irregular and uncertain in its movements. The consequence is, that many teams and foot passengers may be seen at all hours of the day waiting upon both sides of the river for an opportunity to cross; many ef the foot passengers cross in skiffs, which are constantly running. This is a highly interesting illustration of the enterprise and pep pirit of the Dutch aristocracy of Albany. But, we will not for- get the dinner, which was a splendid affair, got up, as it was, under the auspices of Messrs. Landon and Mitchell, the worth va of Congress Hall, At half-past 9, P. M., the doors of the dinning hall were opened, and the members, offi- cers, and citizens entered it arm-in-arm. A brass band, stationed at the lower end of the hall, “ dis- coursed most eloquent music” while the members entered, and afterwards, at intervals, during the evening. _ os The room was elaborately and richly furnished, and the viands provided for the occasion were re- markable, for their variety and profusion, and for their delicious quality. W. best ines of the very brands were sunnlied without stint, and the dinner was, on the whole, magnificent and unsurpassable. After the cloth was removed, toasts were the order of the evening. At te pnt I have no time to give a detailed report of the felicitous and elo- quent sentiments which were uttered. On another oceasion I will give a full report. 1 eannot, how- ever, omit to notice a toast given by Mr. R. H. Proyn. It-was as follow: ‘The New York Herald—Untrammelled and ineorrup- tible. May its editor long live tobe what he is a knowledged to be by the civilized world—* the N poleon of the Newspaper Press.”” 4 correspondent of the Herald, who was present, said :— Being the only representative here of the newspaper named by the honorable gentleman, I will venture, on behalf of the editor, to return my most hearty thanks for the flattering terms in which he has alluded to the New York Herald, | assure you, gentlemen, that in my judgment it is the sincere desire of the proprietor of the Herald to make his paper what it purports to be— untrammelled and incorruptible; the foe of vice, the friend of virtue, and the vigilant guardian of the liber- ties and interests of the people. I cherish a very great veneration for the principles of reciprocity. I love to it practised among nations as well as individuals, | will, therefore, give you in reply to the above sentiment the name of Rolert H. Pruyn—The accomplished member of the Assembly from Albany, and the chairman of this meet- rex—Three cheers for Mr. Pruyn; and they given with tremendous effect. More of the Weather. The frost which occurred here on Sunday night, has, as we apprehended, caused considerable da- mage to the crops in the interior. Persons who have arrived in town since, inform us that on many plantations the cotton was entirely destroyed, and corn, twelve inches high, killed to the ground.— The injury, however, may not prove #0 extensive as at first supposed; but we are satisfied a large portion of the crop will have to be replanted. With a favorable season and late frosts in the full, cot planted now will turn out well—the reverse will bring a short crop.—Ala. Tribune, April 18. As far South as Montgomery, Alabama, (the most distant point we have heard trom,) the eflects { je in that State, ing very generally killed, making ex: ve re-planting necessary. In Georgia, nearly every vegetable and one-half the cotton killed. The weather of this week, says the Concordia Intelligencer of Saturdi has been smiling and fa- | vorable to the young crops. From conversation with planters from diflerent parts of this region, we find that n ly allare satisfied, while many are delighted with the prospect. The corn is well up for ihe season, and generally ea A number of planting friends have assured us that they never ad a finer prospect for corn. The cotton crep already in the ground promises well, and scraping is now the order of the day in Concordia and neigh- boring parishes.—New Orleans Bee, April 17. The Rockville Journal, of Saturday, says:—“We have had more than a week of cold winter weather, with plenty of ice and snow. The fruit has been entirely destroyed and garden vegetables bit down. Much ‘fear is entertained for the young clover; no doubt a great deal of it has been destroyed. The wheat has also been put back considerably, and may, though we hope not, fall short at harvest of the yield which afew weeks ago promised to be unusually heavy.” The Alexandria (La.) Democrat of last Wednes- day, say! The weather at present is very agree- able, aud planters have no ground for complaint. An abundance of rain, fallen, and the prospect of good crops is flattering.

We pr that the board of public works will tleo be satislied with thé arraegement. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Bowery Tuxarni ‘Richard the Third,” was per- formed last evening, with even more fuecess than at- tended it on its previous representation. The house Was crowded to excess, and never have we seen more enthusiasm evinced than was last evening; in fact, the Piece was so admirably put, on the stage, and ail the characters in it so remarkatly well played, that the most fastidious critic could find no fault to eomplain of. In these times of spectacle and stage effect, it is, indeed, pleasing to see such acting as that of the Wal- nd more pleasing still, to see that the public ly appreciate it, as also the grand dramas in which they have appearcd—some of the finest im the English language. It proves that the love of the drama proper is by no means extinct in this country. We need not ‘that the acting of Mr. Wallack, as Richard the hird, last evening, was much applauded; he acts it most ‘admirably. Mrs. Wallack, Miss Wemyss, Mr. Gilbert, and the rest of the performers, also, were very successful in their various parts, To-night, the eele- brated tragedy of the “Bridal” is to be played—Mr. J. Wallack as Melantius, Mrs. W. as Evadne, Mins Wemyss as Aspasia. The “Bridal” is play in which the Wallacks appear to very great advantage; Mr. W.’s Melantius is celebrated throughout the Union, and supported as he will be by such an excellent cast of parts, the play will, no doubt, be admirably performed. A new ballet ‘divertisement will be presented for the first time, after the tragedy; it is composed by Signor G. Neri, from the grand opera of “Guillaume Tell;”” and Ciocea, Neri, andG. W. Smith, will all appear in {t. From the great success of Signor Neri’s last composi- tion, “Les Jardinieres,” we believe this one will be everything that can be desired a A eter and ele- gant ballet. ‘The farce of “ Your's Life’s in Danger,” will conclude the entertainments, Broapway Turatne.—Mr. Forrest appeared before a very crowded audience last evening in the part of “ Richelieu,” in Bulwer’s play of that name, We have always thought that the character was somewhat mis- understood by Mr. Forrest, and we have not hesitated on former occasions to express that opinion; but we must do him the justice to say that never before did he appear in the part to equal advantage. He has evi- dently given it of late a much closer study than was formally apparent in his impersonation of it. It cer- tainly is not now, by any means, a perfect piece of act- ing; but it is nevertheless effective, absorbingly inter- esting, moving. und, with the single exception of the intonations of the voice, which are still slightly unequal, remarkably unique. In such parts as “Richelieu” and “Lear,? Mr, Forrest's great, sonorous voice is rather disadvantageous than otherwise; for it would require much more ¢elf-command than Mr. Forrest has yet ac- quired, even from his continued practice, to keep his organ always subdued to the piteh proper to the part. In the delineation of * Richelieu,” Mr. Forrest has got rid of much of that burlesque roughness whieh dis- figuredit in his hands some time ago. Mr. Dyott and Mr. Fredericks sustained their parts with their usual ability last evening. Mr. Forrest appears this evening in “ Macbeth.” Nationa. Tueatne.—Miss Mestayer had a fine bene. fit last evening ; such a one as she was fully entitled to at the hands of the patrons of the National, as Miss Mestayer is ever ready and efficient in all her duties on that «tage, and always makes the most of eyery part, however trifling it may be, in which she is cast, ‘The comedy of the “Pride of the Market” was the first pleco; and this lively and interesting pleco went off with much éclat, As Marton, Miss Mestayer was much applauded ; and Chapman, Tilton, Taylor, Mrs. Wood- ward, &e., by their clever acting, gave the audience i satisfaction ; whilst Chanfrau, as the young Che- acted with’ much dignity and effect. We are always glad to see Mr. C. in such parts, as he is emi- nently able to fill them well, After the “Pride of the Market,” came the “Child of fthe Regiment,” which also passed off well, the music in it being vory well The fumous * Glance at New York”? was next , and Mose, of course, was received with all the onors, A farce concluded the evening's entertain- ments, To-night, Mose will again appear in his “Glance at New York.” Mr. Pardey’s new piece of the “Rights of Age’ (so successfully received last week), will also be played, and a couple of the latest farces will make up the bill. Bunron’s Turatne,—The laughable farce of the “Irish Engagement” was performed last evening, at this pretty little theatre. Tim Rafferty, by Mr. Brougham, was a piece of comical acting such as we rarely sec; it was well received, “The Toodles” ful- lowed—Mr. Timothy Toodle, taken by Mr. Burton, and taken by Mrs, Vernon, were most excel- ¢ the audience convulsed with laughter. ‘The performances concluded with the ever attractive local satire called “Socialism, or Modern Philosophy Put in Practice.” Mr, Fourier Grisley, as taken by Mr. Brougham, was received with renewed applause, as the character appears to be well known and appreciated. very attractive bill is oftered—* Breach of Promise, and “ Lucy did Sham Amour.” Friday night, the admired comedy of “Dombey and will be played by particular desire. Tue Distixs.—These highly gifted musicians gave another concert at the Chinese building last evening. Their remarkable execution, both vocal and instru- mental, was received by their numerous auditors on this occasion, as on the previous evening, with loud plaudits.’ Several pieces were encored, and the accomplished performers were always willing to re- appear at the manifested desire of the assembly pre- sent. Miss O'Connor appeared in several arias and ballads, and won new laurels, Miss L, Distin was also much admired. As tothe performances upon the horns, as given by the brothers Distin, they consisted of se- veral solos und duets. The remarkable command which they appeared to have over their brass instruments was truly astonishing. The most delicate tones and varia~ tions brought out upon the viol would cause no wonder, but to hear them produced from the unwieldly horn is remarkable, The Distins go to Brooklyn this evening, and are about to proceed thence to Boston. Josern Gune't gives his farewell concert, prior to his departure for Europe, on Friday night. Cunisty’s Minstuets are singing to overflowing houses in Albany. New Ontxans Senna noticed the exccllences of this company, that it is dificult to say anything new about them, save that their excellence continues to be equal to what it ever has been since they first appeared in this city. As musicians, delineators of Ethiopian character, {hatru: mental and solo performers, they are all admirable; and as for ready wit and genuine humor, they can scarcel be equalled. ‘Their burlesques show this, as their Musical Panorama and Italian Scenas are nightly ap- plauded to the coho. To-night their programme is very full. Mn. J. S. Brack’s Comrnmtrxtany Coxcent takes place at the Chinese Concert Room this evening. Sig- norina Patti, Signori De Begnis and Novelli, Mrs. L. A. Jones, Richard Hoffman, Max Maretsck, Mesers. Jones, Alexander, Curtis, and Bristow, have all kindly yolun- teored for ‘the occasion; and we have no doubt that Mr. Black wili have a full house. Tay Onscinat. Campnett Minstaets are now giving a series of successful concerts in Providence, and will en on Monday night in Hartford, It is their inten- tion to open in this city shortly. ‘The Opera Saloon at Cincinnati opened with Mi Brienti, Mr, Manvers, Mr. Brough, Mrs. Clark, &. The opera was “ The Postilion.”” ‘The theatre at Milwaukie was to have closed on the 12th inst. The theatre at Chicago is doing a good business. The company appear to be favorites, On the 20th, Macready was to have made his appear- ance at Louisville, in Byron’s tragedy of Werner—the “eminent” of course sustaining the character of Wer- ner. Hiy performance of the “ Stranger” is not spoken of in terms of unqualified praise. This evening, Mr. Wall's concert will take place at Washington Hall, Boston. He is a talented musician and a worthy individual, The melancholy fact of his being blind excites strong sympathy in his favor. The extensive collection of natural curiosities in the Philadelphia Museum has been re-arranged aid im- proved. In our notices of Mrs. Butler's readings of Shakspea we predicted that they would create a taste for dramat literature. Our prediction has proved true. We find that another interpretor of the immortal conceptions of the “ Bard of Avon,” in the person of a Mr. Fleming, has come forth The Mobile Register says that Mr. Macready, or Mr Forster, never did, and never could, injure Mr. Forrest's reputation. “ We fear, though, it stands in great dan- ger from himeelf.” The Keelys were to have given one more of their demonstrations in mental electricity, at Cineinnati, on the 21st inst.
