METROPOLITAN THEATRE. GRISI AND MARIO. The first of Grisi and Mario’s positively last perform- ances in America was given last evening at the Metro- politan theatre. The house was over full; some two hondred gentlemen being strewed perpendicularly in the neighborhood of the doors, aad behind the last row of benches. In the parquette and dress circle, a fair aprinklivg of our best society was to be seen, and bril- Kant toilettes were plentiful. In the other parts of the house hats preponderated over wreaths, curls and so ‘orth; and at least balf the men gave full play to a uxuriant fancy in the choice of their costume. Stil! the house was decidedly showy. ‘The opera selected for the occasion—the first of the last nights—was ‘Favorita’’ More delicious music and a more dramatic story do not exist in the lyric re. pertory. A greater Fernando than Signor Mario, a sweeter Leonor than ‘Mide, Grisi have never been seen on apy stage. Badiali made an excellent Alphonso, and sang his part with spirit and effect. If, indeed, the decorations had been in keeping with the music; if the male members of the chorus had looked more like Spanish courtiers, and less like lacqueys of good family; if Signor Mario, in the scene where he discovers his shame, and again in the closing scene, where Leonor dies, had acted with a trifle more fervor and fire; the task of the critic would be solely to praise. Even with these de- fects, the performance was one of the finest ever given in New York, aud was gratefully appreciated by the audience. After each act the chief performers wer called before the curtain, and each song was applauded till the house shook, After the curtain fell there waa a general cry for Hackett! After some moments hesitation that gentie- man made his appearance, and spoke in substance as follows Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen, you have called for me, and I thank you. ‘Thanks likewise for the very practical evidence of your good will which I see around me. I bave the honor to inform you that, in conse- quence of many persons being disappointed this morn- ing, less fortunate than you have been, Madame Grist nd Signor Mario, at some personal inconvenience to themprelver, as they leave in the steamer on the day following, agreed to perform again in this house to morrow evemrg, and to devote to charity the peantments which they will receive from me. (Ap plause.) This, | promise you, gentlemen, will be post tively their last appearance in America. (Great laugh- ter.) It will also close my managerial career. And now, ladies and gentlemen, with your permiss‘on, I will say one or two words on th» subject of that carcer. When I clored my contract with Madame Grisi and Signor Mario, two years ngo, everything was prosperous in this country, and there waa every reason to suppose that an enterprise of the kind would be successtal. But when I arrived here with them I found scorching hest, a ruinous drought, an epidemic cholera, monetary revulsion, every sign of alveraity, For a time I hesitated under such grevious disadvantages; but in the eud, confident that a change must come, I perse- vered. It needed seme courage When | left this city in December lust 1 cam best describe my feelings by an anecdote.

FISST APPEARANCE OF GEN. SAM HOUSTON. Niblo’s beautiful Opera House was crowded last night by a brilliant audience, to witness the first appearance of General Sam Houston, United States Senator from Texas. In compliance with the invitation of the New Fngland Young Men’s Association, he consented to lec ture before that body, selecting for his subject—‘ Ths American Indiaus,’’ Asa large portion of his was spept among some of the aboriginal tribes, hia intimat» knowledge of their character rendered him peculiarly qvalified to apeak on the subject. It not, however any interest which the audience took fn it that attract. ed such numbers to the Opera House; but to see and bear ove whose singular, varied and eventfal life has made him conspicuous even among the most prominent of our legislators and statesmen, The house was, as we bave said, crowded, but not uncorafortably so—a little less than one half the assembly being composed of ladies. T 6 was occupied by the members of the association and their friends, ameng whom was a pretty falr «prink- ling of the gentler sex, with whom the General, It is raid, is and always has been a particular favorite. Two Jerge arm chairs had been placed in front of the audieace —one for the lecturer, and the other, we presume, for the President of the Society. A table, with the indispensa ble pitcher of water, (the General is strictly temperate, having taken the pledge some years ago,) and a glass stood in front of these; while near the footlights, in the centre of the stage, a pedestal was placed, giviug a clas- sic look to the whole arrangement. At eight o’clock—the hour appointed for the lecture to commence—a little excitement was created on the out- skirts of the assembly as General Houston made lia pearance in the lobby in company with the members of the committee. He passed on towards the stage without topping, and the next intimation which the andienes had of his presence was the appearance of his hat and gold-headed cane, which were carriea on the stage by an active member of the New England Young Men's As- sociation, and deposited on the table. The expectant crowd now gazed with eager eyen towards the left en- trance, and in less than a minute General Houston stood before them. Three enthusiastic cheers greeted bim, rome of his more zealous friends rising from their reats and waving their hats. When the burst of en- thusiasm had subsided, Dr. Fisher, the President of the Society, came forward and announced that the next lecture would be delivered on Fmday evening. General Houston was then introduced to the audience. Slowly, and with much dignity of manner, he rose from bis seat and paused for afew moments, as if overcome by the wormth of his reception. His personal appearaace was now displayed to the finest advantage, and his tall, erect and manly figure, bis venerable and benevolent features, produced a most favorable impression on his audience. The massive gold rings which glitter on his fingers, show that he does not profess to despise such embellishments of the person. Some say that he con- tracted during his long residence with the Indi among other habits which distinguish them, a love for jewelry. We have no desire, however, to enter into any discussion on the eubject, and merely state it as a fact. General Hovaton began by stating that he was al mest wholly unprepared, occupied as he had been, by his all absorbing duties at Washington. This, he hoped, would prove a sufficient apology for amy deficiencies which might appear in his discourse. The subjeet was one wbich the experience of many years bed rentored him familiar with He had been amongst the Indians, and was thoroughly conversant with their manners, their customs end their character.

The fire wa- ter was sold to them by government agents, and impo- sitions of the most flagrant cuaracter were committed with the knowledge of the authorities at Washington. In Minnesota the Indians realized only forty thousand outotthe four hundred and eighty thousand dollars which had been appropriated; and quite recently, in the interesting Territory of Nebraska, (laughter,) the In- dian rerervation of five thousand acres, which were held in trust forthem by the government, were laid out, in violation of that trust, fer a town. ' Is it any wonder, said the General indignantly, that the soa knife should gleam and the tomahawk be brandished while such injustice 98 this is committed? Du the admi- nistration of Jack+on they were protected in their rights, and their just demands were granted, They had me him, it is true, olten in the field, but ry lovel bim for his striet integrity, and they felt that while he was at the bead of the government they would not be ant frauds of its » stern warrior, but mous, and at the very mention of bia would start to theireye. This tribute to the memory 0! Jackson was received with repeated applaue. General Houston next spoke of the late massacre by the Indians at Belknap, and said that a gt wrong had been com- mitted upon them by the government officials, and that it was only after they had been provoked peyond endu- rance and were fired on twice, that they fell upon the Jnited States troops. On the receipt of the news at ungton, it was proposed to send three thousand to chastise the Indians; but be refused to vote in favor of the proposition. He had also determined never to give his consent to avy future treaties that might be entered into with them, for he believed they were oaly made to be violates, Here the General looked at his watch, and manitested a desire to take his seat; but the audience were not quite satisfied yet, and were determined to hear a little more before they could consent to leave. Cries ot ‘Go on!" Go on!’’ assailed him from all parts of the house, mingled with some ay plause, aud he continued for about ten minuten longer to speak on the wrongs of the In- jans When he reaumed his seat, one of the audience called out ‘Three cheers for the first President of Texas’? which were given with a hearty good will. Some one else immediately proposed “Three more for Sem Ho: ton, the next President of the Unite’ States,” and tl house rang again with applause. A large crowd had by this time assembled about him, and the usual shaking of hands teok place. After spending about ten minutes in interesting conve: th his friends, the committee took the General in charge, and proceeded with him to his hotel. On his way into the street he reesived three parting cheers. Thus terminated his first appearance at Niblo’s beautiful opera house. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. FIRET NIGHT OF THE OLE BULL OPERA. ‘The second season of the Italian opera at the Academy of Music, Fourteenth street, was commenced last night, under rather unfavorable auspices. The intention had been, as the public was informed through the jouraals, to ‘‘popularise the opera,'’ by placing the prices at a low figure. One dollar and fifty cents each was the | price of secured seats, fifty cents for the third tier, and twenty. five cents for the amphitheatre. At these prices, with ® pew opera, and a new company, it was ex- pected that there would be a spontaneous rush of the people to get seats for the opening night. | ‘Poctor’’ called at the said house, an: Such, however, was not the fact. The lower part of tne | it the house was about one-fourth filled, and the attendance in the third and fourth tiers was very slim. The house | was neither gey nor cheertul. But few of the ladies were in full dress, and the gentlemen seemed to have abandoned the idea of dressing for the opera ax a atupii humbug, which it undoubtedly is. Not much enthusi arm was manifested, The conductor (Mr. Max Maretzek) had a fait reception, about equal to that given to the | disrep’ brass band, which appeared on the stage at the com- mercement of the first act. The reception of the new artists was also a cold one, The opera of the night was Verdi's “Rigolotts,” now performed for the first time in the States. It is one of his latest works, and has all the pecuiiarities of that rather noisy com poser. The plot is from a story by Victor Hugo, and it is revolting enough to satisfy the most ardent admirer o the horrible, The tencr (Bolcioni) is a duke with a strong pasion for other people’s wivese (in fact b openly states at the beginning of the opera that he despises jealous husbands)—and for the femalo sex generally. ‘The baritone (Barili) is the court jester, a bumpback, Rigoletto by name, with ‘one (sir daughte and no more.”’ This young woman is the prima donna Gilda, (Madame Bertucca Maretzek.) The Count Monte { ever, rone (Coletti) comes to court to abuse the duke for haviag | seduced his Cauglter, whereupon Rigoletto, in raying tevere things to everybody, jeers the oki nau and is cursed in good set terms by hima return.

After the Duke's de- young min and s parture, kigoletto returns; he is met by the courtiers, blindfolded, and, with the usual operatic disregari for probabilities, is obliged to assist in the abduction of his own daughter. A bravo named Sparafucile (Rocco) aow becemes an important person in the opera. Rigolotwe cesizen (0 revenge himself on the Duke, by puttiug out that respectable dignitary’s lamp of lite, and toe bravo agrees todo the work for » moderate price and in the most thorough manner. The Duke is eas ly enticed to the bravo’s house by a pretty woman, bat ts foliowed by Gilda, in men’s clothes. She overhears the sister of the brave who entices the Duke to the house, putting ia special plea for hin life. The bravo foally assents to com promi: to kill somebody’ that if any o to the hocse previous to the hour appo.nted for the Duke's death, that the last 1 shall be the sufferer.
