THE MAYOR AND THE BELGIAN PAUPERS, Wilful Attempt at Assassination. CURRENT EVENTS OF THE DAY, &o., &o., uo. * ‘The Italian and Engtish Opera Last Night. The Grisi and Mario “Corps Lyrique""—(a quotation from the bills)—commenced its final farewell perform- ances at the Metropolitan theatre last evening. The opera was the “‘Puritani”’ of Bellini, with Grisi, Mario, Susini and Bernardi in the principal characters, Ber- nardi was a very bad substitute for Badiali—the last named artist being on the sick list. The price of ad- mission to the house was one dollar, and fifty cents ex- tra was charged for the securing of tne seats. As the manager, Mr. Hackett, had announced in the bills that this was the “lowest remunerative standard” at which the prices could be fixed, it was expected that a very large number of people would take advantage of this piece of condescension on his part. Such, however, was not the case, ‘There were many vacant seats in the lower boxes and parquette; the second tier was about half filled, and the third tier could have accommodated three times as many People. The house was a mixed one—there was a little of the ‘best society,’’ considerable codfish, anda good re- presentation of the unterrified democracy. The last named came from curiosity—they chatted through the over- ture, yawned over the first act, and evidently thought the whole thing a decided bore. The “best society’’ wrapped itself up in icy dignity, and looked down with an affectation of supreme contempt upon the lower mil- Mon. The delegates from the second strata behaved as usual, They stared at everybody through their lorg- nettes, ferociously applauded in the wrong places, and otherwise made themselves disagreeably conspicuous, One young woman, in the centre of the parquette, got up without the slightest regard to expense; made her- self an object of interest by standing up during the entré acts, gazing at people, at point-blank distance, through an eyo-glass, and otherwise displaying that free-and-easy deportment, that total absence from all restraint, and that general disregard for the proprieties of life, which can only be learned by a lengthy expe- rience in New York fashionable society. The ‘‘Puritani’’ has been done here «o often by this troupe, that little need be said about the performance last night. Grisi acted as well as usual, and was in good voice, She had a good reception; and being loudly called for, appeared before the curtain, alone, at the end of the first act. Mario sang superbly, but was unusually awkward in his acting. He seemed to think that he wan conferring a great favor on the audience by appearing before it. Bernardi is an indifferent singer and a bad actor. Susini was not in good voice. The chorus was small, and not well up ia the music. The orchestra was fair, but too loud. The scenery and accessories of the opera generally are below criticism, The ball in the Puritan fortress had panels painted with representations of a chevalier and dame of the reign of Louis XV., and the flat represented the pa- lace of Claude Melnotte by the lake of Como! This was rather a strong series of anomalies for one scene. The opera was not half so well done as at Castle Garden or the Academy, although the Metropolitan theatre is su- perior to either of these houses in regard to its optical and acoustic properties. The opera goers complain- ed bitterly of the redaction of the chorus and the general inattention to the business of the scene. One specimen of Young New York remarked that it was done ‘“‘on the Canal street pla: The houso was not a cordial one—there did not seem to be much sympathy between the artists and the audience. The only warm applause was given for Grisi’s acting. at the end of the first act, which was very fine. Mr. Hackett announces that Grisi and Mario will sail for Europe on the 2ist. At the Broadway theatre, last night, the Pyne and Harrison troupe gave the “Cinderella” of Rossini, in English, for the twenty-first time. The house was filled in every part, as it has been on every night when this opera has been performed. Although the performance is net a perfect one in every respect, yet it is so good that it might be profitably repeated twenty nights more, The audience last night seemed to enjoy the entertain. ment immensely. It was something which they could understand, and they were not forced to appear inte- rested when they were dispored to go out or to go tosleep, as they are at the Italian opera. Miss L. Pyne’s execu- tion in “The Skylark’’ is worthy of high praise Last night it was received with great applause. The production of “Cinderella’’ is @ great treat for old and young, and the Broadway theatre in these days is the place for ofie to ree childhood in its halcyon days. The orchestra interprets Rossini’s delicious instrumentation capitally. The scenery, machinery, dresses, etc., ete. are all excellent, and the performance, as far as acces: sories go, could hardly be more perfect. Certain it is, that ‘Cinderella’’ never was so well done before in New York. The present is announced as the last week of the English opera at the Broadway. Anit-Slavery Lecture—No. XIl. The twelfth anti-slavery lecture of the season was de- livered last evening in the Tabernacle, by the Rev. Samven J, May, of Syracuse, fon the rise and progress of the anti-slavery movement since 1820. The audience was small. The following is the substance of the lec- turer's remarks:— ‘The sentiment of right, the aspiration after freedom, and the love of liberty come from above. This love of liberty abideth not on the rocky mountains of mo- narehical supremacy. But what there is of this spirit of liberty that alights on the proud eminence of human society trickles down into the valleys. Too often it is bidden in dark caverns; but it never dies there. “Eternal spirit of the chainless mind, Brightestis dupgeons, Liberty, thou art." Ever in the world’s history there have been some who have broken out aa living gpirita of this humanity. It is thus the spirit of a single mind makes those of multitudes take one direction. Such was the spirit of the mind ef that man in our own country who advo- cated universal liberty. 1 claim for Mr. Garrison that the spirit of his mind bas made the minds of multitudes take a new direction. The spirit of liberty must run in some earthly channel, and it is often ina rocky one, be- | | to | all a There fact stonds, that the aim, tendency, the result of that great for freedous, restricted, and wrong, and it cam never be - ‘ao that which mise has bt into our land, ‘The compromise oat have been to the slave have such that for our restoration to liberty.

The lecturer concluded by reading a passage from an early number of the Mr. Garrison’s paper. of the Muntelpal Revolution, THE MAYOR'S COMPLAINT BOOK—THE BELGIAN PAU- PERS TO BE SENT BACK—-A LAW AGAINST PRIZE FIGHTING. The Mayor, determined to put a stop to the brutal and disgraceful practice of prize fighting, has drawn up the following law, which will be introduced immediately in the Legislature :-— An act entitled an act to prevent Prise Fights among Game Animals :-— Beit enacted by the people of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembiy, as follows -— c. 1, Every person who ahall set on foot or instigate, or move to, or carry on, or promote, or engage in, or witness, (unless so witnessing for the purpose of justice, after authority so to do first given by any magistrate of the county,) or doany act towaris the furtherance of any premeditated fight or contention between. persons with their iste, commonly called s prize fight, or any fight between game birds, dogs, bulls, bears, or botween dogs and rats, or dogs and pongees that al have been premeditated’ by any person heving custody of such animals, shall be liable to arrest and prosecution for #0 doing, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail, for a term not exceed- ing one year, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dol- 8 2. Upon complaint under oath before any magis- ‘ing power to take complaints of a criminal at an offenee within any of the epecifications p first about to be committed, and setting uch complaint the grounds thereof, such magistrate shall, in his discretion, be empowered to issue a warrant to any officer of the county having power to execute a warrant, reciting therein the name | of the complainant and his residence, and the substance | of bis complaint, and therein directing such officer to | z and prevent the said prize fight, or the said ght among animals, as mentioned in section first of this act, by arresting any person or persous whom he may find wilfully witnessing the same. Sach officer shall bave authority to call to his aid the civil power ¢f arrest of the county, and upon any arrest or arrests being made in pursuance of this section, the person or persons 60 arrested shall be taken before the magistrate so having issued the warrant, and in the said magis- trate’s ditcretion may be then and there compelled to enter into a bond in the sum of one thousand dollars to tke people of the State of New York, conditioned that he will not for the space of one year next succeeding the date of said bond offend against any of the provisions of this act, the said bond, after being taken, to be for- warded to the district attorney of the county, and be by him retained one year and prosecuted for breaches in any of the courts of this State, ifany shall have been committed. Sec. 3. This act shall take effect immediately. In the case of the alleged Belgian paupers, the Mayor mtends to have them sent back to their own country, and will, we understand, addre: tter to the Belgian Consul informing him of his intention. The men, of whom there are thirteen, have been imprisoned in the Tombs nearly two months. A few days ago Mr. Mange, the Belgian Consul at Philadelphia, wrote a letter to the Mayor, pledging himself that if liberated he would pro- cure employment for them, so that they should rot be « burden apon the State.

Present, Governor Town- send, in ‘be chair, and Herrick, Duke, Dugro, Henry, West, and Taylor. In last week's report we stated that Governor Herrick bad not attended the meeting of the Board since his defeat for the office of Mayor last fall. It is but justice to that gentleman to say that he has been absent from the city on urgent private business. This explavation is due to Mr. Herrick, as he has here tofore been noted for his regular attendance. After the usual requisitions were real and approved, Governor Weer submitted the following, which was adopted:— Resolved, That the Committee on Out door Poor have authority to prosecute or settle the various suits com menced Fo arerenaes eeuinah gerean conserant in or lotteries. , and that copies ttribuion by the Supply Clerk.

A number of communications were received from the wardens of the various institutions on Blackwell's island, — in response to the enquiries of the State Senate on the — subject of intemperence. | Gov. Duke was opposed to sending any of them on to Albany, as they were mecessarily incomplete, and caleu- | Jt lated te convey a wrong impression.

Deliberate aucmPt to Murder a Lady tn ESCAPEOP THE PeRrer.”-*TO8—THE AFFAIR Wearesr IN My STBRY. A most deliberate attempt ."? murder a young Indy in Broadway, was made by some un."90Wn man on Monday evening last, which up to the presat fs wrapped in mystery, although strict inquiry hay been made into the affair by the authorities, About 63¢ .*’clock on the above evening, Mrs. Eleanor Mary Josephine L shop, wife of Nathaniel Bishop, of No. 901 Broadway, while sitting in the back parlor, alone at the piano, was fired at Sy an unknown person, who entered the rcom stealthily, aad on firing the weapon hastily made his escape, The report of the pistol alarming the domestics, they rushed into the apartment and found Mra. Bishop lying on the floor quite insensible. Her husband, Mr. Bishop, was immodiately sent for, and on arriving at hiv residence found his wife in fainting @ eondition, but happily uninjured; the ball bed missed the mark, Restoratives were immediately applied with success, On recovering, Mrs. Bisbep atated that while playing the piano, the auknown, « tall mas, en- tered the parlor door; being dressed with a large cloak and hiv face covered with a slouched hat or sombrero, rhe could not recognise his fenture ; that regarding her for an instant, he drew from under his cleak a pistol, and presenting it towards her discharged the weapon at her head, Mrs. Bishop thinking that she way mortally wounded, fainted, and fell from the music steel to the floor, where she was found by the domestics, ax already described, The manner in which the entrance of the unknown to the house was eflected, i not exactly ascer tained ; but he either must have opened the halldoor with'a false night key, or else stolen quietly up stairs by the basement entrance. About 3 o'clock on the sane day, a tall mau, dressed ( s sitailar inanner to the per won who Gred the pistol at Mre.
