Ninto’s Gaxpew.—The enterprising manager of this fa- vorite place of amusement maintains his enviable raputa- tion for the combination of artistic talent of a high order and the production of novelties in # superior style. Des- pite the warm weather, fine audiences were attracted thither last week to witness the exquisite drawingroom entertainment of Miss Emma Stanley, ‘The Seven Ages of Woman,”’ and the elegant pantomimic representations of the Ravels, the charming chorographic illustrations of M’lle Robert and the ballet corps, and the astonishing feats of M. Hengler on the tight rope. Miss Stanley and the Ravels performed on alternate nights, thus affording op- portunities for the gratification of all tastes. This evening we are to have young Hengler on the cord, M’!e Robert in “Les Abeilles,” and the Ravels in the ‘“ Magic Trumpet.”” Bowzry TuraTre.—Manager Brougham has deservedly won the approbation of all for the astonishing reforms that hav®taken place in everything connected with this theatre. During his brief managerial career he has not merely redecorated and newly furnished the house throughout, but he has presented good plays, with ta- lented casts, thus securing the atten tance of large num- bers of spectators, many of whom had not hitherto fre- quented the place. The greatest reformation of all, how- ever, is in the conduct of the audiences; he has apparent ly subdued the wild enthusiasm of the boys, who now observe proper decorum, and conduct themselves in a manner worthy of emulation even at some of the former- ly more fashionable theatres. ‘ Dombey & Son,” A Day in Paris,’’ and the “Forest Rose,”’ are announced for to- night. Mr, Brougham plays Capt. Outtle, and-his lady her famous part of Susan Nipper. Broapway Varierigs.—The Wood and Marsh juveniles continue to astonish and delight the numerous patrons of ‘this pleasant little theatre, by the remarkably correct conceptions of the various charactera they personate, as well as by their fine readings and declamation. How chil- dren 80 young—comparative infants—can so readily and admirably render parts that have caused yéars of labor to veteran actors before they could represent them ina respectable manner, is a wonder and a mystery to all who visited the Varieties. No matter in what play they may be cast, these children invariably perform their parts in acrcditable style, and many of them in a way that it would be no disgrace for veteran stagera to imi- tate. “ Ingomar’ having had a tine run last week, is to be repeated this evening. French Takatrs,—Chinese Hall, formerly Backley’s, 539 Broadway, has been secured for theatrical purposes by the French company, of which M. Gustave Dédos is the director and leading actor. Being more centrally lo- cated than Burton’s, where the members of this company made their debut before a New York audience last Mon- day, it is probable that large numbers of our French citi- zens will hereafter honor the artists with their presence. ‘The first performance is to take place this evening.. The selections consist of ‘‘ Le Czar de Russie Charpentier, ou Je Bourgmestre de Saardam;”’ “La Decoverte de L’Ame- rique,”’ ahd * Sous un Bee de Gaz.’ M. Dédos pergorats the character of Peter, the imperial sbip carpenter, and Mme. Gonthier that of Marie, in the first . Bexerit To Mes. Mrrcwest.—The widow of Mr, William Mitchell, formerly manager of the Olympic theatre, takes a benefit this evening at Wallack’s theatre. Seweral popu- lar artists, have volunteered, and it is hoped that the ap- peal in behalf of the relict of one who formerly so suc cessfully catered for the amusement of our citizens will be warmly responded to. The Cause and the bill are both worthy of attention. . Krtver’s Ewrme Han,—M. Keller is still engaged in the production of new and elegant tableaus, and is ro ‘warded for his efforts by the plaudits of the learned and e refined, who nightly attend his sotrees in large num . This evening be will present, for the first time, a ‘Rew picture, said to be of poweriul interost, styled “The Avalanche; also, the acting accnes entitled the “Third and Fourth of July,’ and the spirited affair of the “Bleo- tion,” in which the Presidential candidates, Messrs. Bu- chanan, Fremon: and Fillmore, are introduced, and excite the Ilveliest emotions among the spectators. Besides the tableaus there will be singing, &c., a3 usual. Woop's Misstekis.—It is announced that the farces so comically performed by this ban: of Ethiopians are to be varied every night this week, thus affording the lovers of fun an opportunity of seeing the actors in various of their most celebrated pieces. Tacy also tender the usual choice selection of songs, burlesques and dances, the exe- cution of any one of which is worth the price of admis- sion. The farce for to night is the “Masquerade Ball,’’ in which numerous of Shak«pere’s berocs are iutroduced. Nove Somex.—A musical and Terpsichorean entertain- ment is to be given at the City Assembly Rooms to mor- row evening, for which occasion the services of a namber of distinguished instrumental performers and dancers have been secured. Coxcert.—A vocal and instrumental concert is to be given to morrow evening, at Pryner’s Assembly Rooms, Houston street, near Bro: iway. Among the performers announced are Masters Robert and Arthar Haghes, Mr. and Mrs. N. Gould, Mr. Washaus and ‘he Washington Brass Band. ‘ Turarncats Eisewnene.—Nothing worthy of special note has lately transpired in other cities, Moat of the theatres are closed, and a number of the managers have been or are inthe city making the mesessary arrange ments for the fall campaign, Tun Buxo Saxviniay Mixerne:.

Of the marvellous character of liis performance ‘some idea may perhaps be formed, when we state that on this diminutive whistle, which, while he plays, his hand completely covers, he has a of two to three cetaves, generally of eet quality, the extreme upper notes alone having anything like harshness about them. ‘What the lowest or fundamentm) note of the instrument is we cannot from the car determine.

The others had a few moments previously been rescued wd two’ young men, (brothers,) named Murphy, who, seeing the condi- tion of the unfortunate men, put off in a row boat and rescued five of them from the dismantled craft. Tne passengers on board the Fogle were greatly excite on Witnessing the scene, and whenethe men were saved they ‘ave three hearty cheers for the rescuers, Chas. Vailen, fathaniel Evans, Wm.
