Hundreds of the people of Grenada believed that it was fora geliows, on which half of the natives would be strung up; while as many believed it was for a whipping pest, at which the Ghamoristas were to be thravhed for their contumacy in not giving over their opinions. Hap- pily, however, all ‘hese exrurs have exploded, and the old women who started them aie now at fault in one more of their inflammatory reports about the Americans.

The operstic season at the Academy was brought to a close on Friday evening last, when the ‘“Trova‘ore’’ of Verdi was played to one of the flaest and fullest aud’- enoes ever within the walls of the Academy. The ‘Iro- vatore” is probably the most successful work in ite way which bas been produced this ten years, ‘t was played two-thirds of a season,in Paris—is exceedingly popular on the Contment, and now draws betier than anything else im the United States. Mme. La Grange would have found it better for her berefit than ‘Don Giovanni,’”’ whicn i+ to be given this evening. We trust that La Grange wil have a full house, No prima donna has ever discharged her duties to ths publio more faithfully or more prompt ly. Although the public has paid her with gold fo: her gocd notes, yet it is generous, and will give her a bumper at parting by way of example. At Wattack’s TueatRe, the Shakspercan comedies hay? heen played to fall houses. This evening “London Assurance’’ is announced. The cast is the same as las ceason, with the exeeption of Lady Gay, whioh is ployed by Misa Howard, vice Misa R, Bennett ; Meddle, by Wal cot, vice Blake; and Deliy Sganker, by Peters, vis Vincent. At Burton’s Tumarre, ‘The Queen of Spades” (saved by the salt mine) and ‘Paul Pry” are announced for ‘this evening. Burton plays Paul Pry, and Mrs. Casrles Howard scts in both pleces. Tne Bowrry TukaTre will reopen uncer Waldron’s management this evening. The leading artists are Mr. and irs, J.J. Prior, and the company is otherfise good. The bill incluies three popular pices. At Nisro’s Garpgy, ‘‘Kim-Ka”’ and ‘The Green Mon. ster,’’ by the Ravels, are announced for this evening. BroapwaY THEATRE.—M, KELLER'S SCRIPTURAL PICTURES. —There wasa very select and critical audience at the Broadway theatre on Saturday afternoon, when Mr. Kel- ler gave @ rehearsal of his pictures represeating the chef d’euvres of Reabens, those great paintings which the connoisseurs of all Europe have deiighted to honor for a handred years. The pictures treat upon the most inte- resting period of sacred history—the Crucifixion. They ware, as Mr. Keller claims, faithful copies of the grat originals, and they were received wi'h the most enthu- siastic ap plause by an audience composed mainly of in- dividuals who either knew something of art, or flatter themselves into the belief that they do, muking two cleases of persons exceedingly difficult to please, Tue tableau of the ‘ Descent from the Cross’’;was surpassingly beautiful, and it really seems to us that Mr. Keller has achieved the perfection of his art. His exhibitions are exoeedingly nove! and beautiful at the same time, and we trust they will be patroni-ed as they deserve. The au- diemee on Saturday included the élite of the learael professions, a large number of artista and several clergymen, all of whom agreed in the warm- est ccommendstions of the exhibition. The re- hearsal of Saturday having been so successfal, the pic. ture of the ‘Descent from the Cross’? wiil be given this evening ; also several other tableaux, which will be found fully cet forth in the advertisement. At Lavra Kesve’s Vanierms, ‘Camille’? was acted to good houses up to Friday evening, when ‘‘Maske and Faces” was played, the fair direstress assuming the rate of Mistress Woffington, making it dangerously effective. On Batarday that cheerful piece, “The Bride of Lammer- moor,” was presented, apparently to introduse Mr. Dickinson, whe played the lively and amusing Master of Ravenswocd. It is painful to know that th's remarkable production is not to have a “run.’’ The bill to-night announces “The King’s Rival,® @ five act drama, »by Tom Taylor and Charlea Reade, the modern Beaumont and Fletcher.
