Yoster- day being the anniversary of the execution of Lopez, the Crecles camo attired in deap mourning, and wearing mourning badges upon tho Joft arm; a number of them acted as vergors in tho church, aad discharged that daty with a solumnity befitting tho oveasion, accompanied with that suavity of manner, | which is characteristic of the natives of the une happy island. © Whea the hour for the commencoment of the ser- vice arrived, considerable disappointment, and some chagnn, were experienced by al! prevent a: the an nouncement, that there would not be » High Masa, and that that i end ceremony would bo diy pensed with upon tho oovasion. | Ammediately afterwards, tho Rev.

All this was observable in the cere- | mony of yesterday; but stil wore dissatisfied. In their opinion, the church should “exhaust the pomp of woe” in colebrating tho service for the departed soul of their idol and hero, and it ay ears that a promise was given to that ef- feet by His Grace Archbishop Hughes, which was afterwards broken. The following letter will enlighten the public upon this part of the subject :— Rucur Revewenp Farnen—The Catholic Cubans now ow York, feel atender ard religious anxiety to cele- | brate, in a becoming and rexpeotful manner, the saniver- | sary of the desth of their brothers and friends who were taken from them Inst year at Principe, Trinidad, Los Po- | aas, Atarea and Gabavo. ‘We pray of you, therefore. to a: Dour of grand mass and then a grand muss.

To prove the truth of his assertions, the speaker alluded to the notices which had just arrived from Hayana, He eonoluded by saying, that a the sentiments which be could advance in momory of the neble martyre of the liberty of Cuba would be understood by these words :— Peace to their soule; giory to their pswes ; revenge against their assassine ; Liberty to their beloved Cuba,” The orators were frequently interrupted with eriaa of bueno, bueno, during the delivery, and greeted at the conclusion of each with lond cheers and fra- ternal exabraces.

Ochors preferred the present system. Mr, Kingsley said he paid for the advertisement calling this m«oting, which appearedin the Hrrap, himself—as he thought that gratuitous editorial no- tices in the papers were not official, and did not an- | swer the purpose; and he wanted to know wien they would next meet, and also, if the present company would subscribe as much as would pay for the next advertisement. Several members thought that they might not meet until Tuce ‘ay, Mth September, and in the meantime, they 4 make the day known to euch othex, and not incur any outlay.

FOR THE YEW YORK HOKALD The return ef this gentleman to the position of | manger in this city, claims more than # pussing notice freny us as journalists, and is aa event of more t ordinary Miterest to the public. Under his | direction, at the National theatre in this city, wore first presented the best plays in the language, with | OPENING such on asserbiago of talent in their iniporsonation | and completences in their mounting, as had never fore beon seon in this country, and he was at oneo | admitted to be the manacer, par cacellence, whocould | satisfy the public, and raise tho character of the theatre to the highest «tandard. Betore commenting on the nocident that over- threw all hie well matured plans, and roturded the progress of the drama for years in this city, we will glance at Mr. Wallavi’s career in Amerioa, os con- nected with the stag: Tn August, 1818, Mr. Wallack came to this coun- try, and made his first appearance at the P: theatre, as “*Macbeth.” He was at ihat time i his 24%b yeer, aud but lately married. Thoro who saw him then, remember him as a splondid epesimon of manty beauty, and one of the most graceful actors that ever trod the boards. His next performances were, ‘*Oorioleaus,” *‘‘Hamlet,” and * Rolla,’ followed by oshors of tho highest range of legitimate tragedy, in all of which he was pre-ominently suc- cessful throughout the United States. Mr. Wal- Jnck remained in this country about two yoars, ou this, his first visit, during which his son John Los ter Wallack was born, in this city. Prior to his arrival he nnd when only twenty- two yours of age, Mr. Wailvck wea acting tho op- posite parte with the great dmund Kean, thon ut the zonith of his famo; and when the! gifted actor came to thiv country im 1821, Mr. Wallack roturned to England, being ongaged by Elliston to fill Kenn’a ace at Drury Lane.

In 1830, Mr Stephen Price having retired from Drnry Lane, the committee of management select Mr. Wallack to take the entire direction of that im- menao osablishment. He did so, and by his ener- gy, talent, and artistic management, saved the pro- perty from ruin, and by the production of the beau- tif dramas of “Tho ”” “The Brigand, nt Way. and such standard farces as “Popping the Ques- tion,” &c , completely resuscitated the fortunes of the theatre, which continued to prosper so long a: Mz. Wallaok remained director. In 1831 Captain Pojhill became lessee of Drary Lane, and stil! retained Mr. Wallack a3 stage man- ager. At tho end of this scasen he again cume to America, and during this visit firet appeared in thoso dramas in which he basattained such Cae and ia which he has, even yet, no equal. On his re- turn to England he played a round of starring en- epgagement through Great Britain, and in 1833 per- formed sixty nights at Covent Garden, and the same namber at Drary Lane, under the management of Mc: Bunn, then leasve of boti establishments. % the end of these engagements he again crossed the Atlantic, and mado another tour through the United with undiminighod success. Daring thie vis . Wallack was induced to become lessee and manager of tho National theatre, then in this | city, and here ho displayed that keen judgment in tho selestion of talented artists, combined with so much artistic skill in the preduction of pieces, that the opening of this theatre, under his management, has ever been marked a3 a new era in tho history ef the stage in America. It was soon after this period thas the terrib!s financial revalsion of 1836-'7, ewept through this vountry with such devasting cf fect, and places of amusement wero for the time al- most deserted. Yet, like a skilful pilot, Mr. Wal- lack weathered oven that storm, and having once more matured his plans for a season, which opened with the most brilliant prospect of success, his every hope was crushed, and the beautiful tem- plo ke hud rendered 80 popular fell a proy to the de- youring element—tire—ignited, it can scarcely be doubted, by tho band of an incendiary. Under this blow, Mr. Wallack suffered sovercly and the admirable company he had orgunized wero disbanded, scattered about, and lost to us for ever; for never, since that day, has so full and efficient a corps dramatique been organised in this country. Sines that period, Mr. Wallack has divide time between Amorica and England—viaiting this vountry a8 a star, and fulfilling the duties of stage mansger at the Haymarket, now the loading theatre fn London—cqual!y admired in both coun- tricg, and as wall known in tho one as the othor. Jt is a question whether he is English or American, having crossed the Atlantic no lese than twenty. nine times. Ina fow days, Mr. Wallack will open the Ly- ceuso, and once more present himecif to the public in his managerial capacity, and, soon after, again appear to his friends in some of those characters which hoe has mado exclusively his own. Sur- ioe rites, and sustained by the warmest friendship and Beod feeling of thousands of our best citizens, in every veetion of ths city and country, his success is certain, After end! bf severe sickaoss for nearly ® year pest in England, he has now wholly re- covered his usual robust health and good spirits, end we lock forward to hia first appearance with a bright anticipation ot true enjoyment. Commend- ing the py eusias under Mr. WalJack’s manage- ment, to the patronage of the true friends of the dravaa rightly conducted, wo wish all good fortune and continued prosperity. Bowery Treatne —The dramatic representations of My. li. Eddy, and Miss Horon have given,since the opening of this theatre, the utmost satisfaction and deligh: to the visiters. The pieces selected for this evening are the beautiful drama of the ‘Corsican Brothers,” to see the tableaux of which is worth tho price of admission, independent of tho admirable tions of the brothers Iabien and Louis chi, by Mr. Eddy. The other pieces aro ermont Wool Dealer,” and the drama of the “ Blind Boy.” BRoaAPway THuatnr.—The performances of Miss Julia Dean, Messrs.

An opening dinner, or ** house warming,” a3 the old Knickerbockere used to term it, was given last evening by tho proprietors, and all who were pro sent agreed in pronouncing jt a very coufortabl, affair uf ite kind. There were about three hundree guests present, tocluding members of the preva metnbers of the city government, members cf the bar, and bon vivants of various professions. The bill of fare was @ good one, and the appetites of the guests wore fully cqual to its full appreciation. Tho covers were removed at about seven o’clock, and for about an hour the clatter of knives and forks and the jingling of glasses betokened sharp work. It is enough to say of this part of the enter- tainment, that the meats, &c , were good and well served, and the-wines, of several brands, were ex= cellent. As we seom to have come upon @ new era la hotel building and furnishing, we submit a brief doseription of the house, which, even in its untinished state, fairly dazzles and bewildera the visiter, snd causes him to think of the palaces of “ Arabian Nights’ ” tales, or of the abo les of the happy dwellers in fairy land. Think, for instance, of slaking one’s thirst in a hotel from gold ani silver goblets, with water drawn from a piteber of tho samo material, or of givivg the last touch to one’s vest collar, at dinner time, before & mirror worth: $10,000. Bat such are part of the appoimkments of this new Inn by the Broadway roadside. ‘Tho site is that on which formerly stood Niblo’s Garden. But for the description. The Metropolitan Hotel is one of the most magnifi- cent structures of the kind in the country, sod, per= haps, in the world. Noexpeago has been spared im rearing the odifice, or in fitting it out with all the modern improvements Tho building forms an by three hundred feet fronting on Broadway, aod two hundred feet on Prince street. It is six stories | high, and precents a front of brown stone, hand- somely finished. The architecture is termed Ree man, though the style is not puro in any order. The main entrance, on Broadway, is through « ious doorway, and lends to the public office of the house. On tho first floor aro the ladies recep- tion room, gentlemen's lounging room, dreasi! rooms, and other apartments necessary tothe pro reception of guests, prior to assigning sham rooma The floors of the offiee and other public xooms ar paved with marble slabs. Tho mantles, in the rq ception reoms are made ef rare marble, and the or) niture is all rich and inviting. There is,a prival staircase leading from the Julies reception room t@ tho second story, but the thoroughfare ta the upps. part of the houso is by the broad staircase, which ia very wide, and protected on each side by hony bannisters, surmounted with a massive oak rail, | handeomely wrought out, and polished to the | highest extent. Tho first landing is lighted by | a window of stained glass, which is fi in a8 | elaborato stylo, prescating, among other ‘losigna, the Arms o tho’ United States, the Anns vf the Btate of New York, and tho Cout of Arms of tha City of New York. ‘he Capitol at Washington and tho City Hall are also ropresented. The oolor ing is magnificent, and the window, altogether, is a feature of the house. ‘ On the second floor are four clegant parlors, via: a ladies parlor, twenty-four by thirty feet, in which are threo very large mirrors; the mantelpieco is ef beautiful white marblo, ornamented with great skill. Tho furniture is of rosewood, covered with rich broc: j and silk damask curtainsare hung at elle 5 the windows.

A door opens out upon the baloopy on Broadvay, where a viow may hetiad of the great thoroughfare from [rinity to Grace church. The third is called the vestibule parlor.

A massive silver setvor, holding a silver pitcher and two gold Jinod silver goblots, being part of the furniture of the apart- ment. This service of stivor cost 3500. Tho fourth, or gentlemen’s parlor, is furnished with chai 4, sofas, lounges, otc ,framed of oak, and trimmed with xeen morocco. The room measures bieoty-four y thirty feet. In the rear of the gentlomen’s par- lor is the gentlemen’s rending room, % spacioul apartment, the furniture in which is of the sama stylo as that of the parlor opposite, o2k, med with green morecco. The drapery im this room ix ‘old and green, and the carpet exceodiogly rich, though by no means gay. In fet, the carpet throughout the house are of the most expensive fabric, and selected with great good tasio. Thoro aro on this floor, besides the parlors, reading rooms, &e., sixteen suits of apartments, of which it is needless to say aught but that they arezurnished in astyle of clegunce hitherto unsurpassed in the annals of hotel keoping; the furniture im tho parlors, in the sleeping Be eee ti eg and bathing rooms, being especially adapted to the use for which it ix designed. Hot and cold water is always on in the bath room which is attachod to each sult, and the baths are all fitted with a showering 2a; Capes The Prince street wing of this floor is oo¢wpied by s magnificent dining roum, to bo uted for the five o'clock ordinary.

The entertainments will commence with tho over- tare Les Diamons dc la Couronne, which will be succeeded by the opera of the “Crown Diamonds,” Mad. Fleury Jolly as La Caterina, and M. Diguet as Don Henrique. Between the acts the celobrated French and Spanish dancers will display their Ter- pischorian abilities in various dances. Bowron’s THraTxe —The managor of this ee- cessful catablisnment still koeps to the representa- tion of fine old comedies, the characters in which are filled by tho most talonted comediang. The se- lections for this evening are the “Heir at J.aw,” with Barton in his inimitable character of Pangloss. The other characters will be sustained by tho stock com- pony. Tho amusements will couolude with the “Gardener's Wife.” Messrs. Fishor, Thompson, Lever, Mrs, Hughes, Mrs. Skerrett, and Mrs. Fisk appear tonight. The house, no doubt, will bo crowded ae usual. Natronan Turarery.—This theatre is svery night ‘well filled, and the entertainments, if we judze from the enthusiasm of the audience, seem to afford great pleasure to them. ‘ Unole Tom’s Cabin” wil be presented agin this evening, with the same cast, after which Merr Cline will appear on the tight rope, and will make three changes of character without loaving the rope. This will be followed by La Neapolitan, by Mies Partington snd Mr. Yates. Tho term ne ieee will be the bur- losque of -‘ Otello,” with T. D.
