Amorg the suspensiemp were Harper & Bro- there, book publishers, and Bowen & McNamee, silk merchants. In Wall street stocks of all kinds de- clined in price. The city of Brooklyn has been in the market for $1,700,000 to carry on the new water ‘works, but not a dolar offered, Unless some public spirited citizens step forward there is a strong pro- bdability that the work will be temporarily suspend- ed. The bids for the loan of half a million dollars to male up a deficiency in the sinking fund of the State, were opened at Albany yesterday, but not proving satisfactory, the loan was not taken. In Philadelphia yesterday the action of the Le- gislature—or rather the want of action—created an intense excitement. An imprompta mass meeting was held in the afternoon, aui reso. lutions adopted urging the Legislature to immedi atcly pass measwes of relief. A meeting for a similar object was held at Harrisburg. It is not at all likely, however, that the Legislature will yieid to the clamor. ‘he election for members of the Legisla- ture of Pennsylvania takes place on Tuesday next, and these meetings have doubtless been got up as much with the view of influencing that event as relieving the business community. Reports of meet- ings in Philadelphia, St. Louw and Chicago, together with a list of the failures that have occurred daring the past week, are giren on the first page of to-day's | Te rae Andrew Johnson has been elected United | States Senator from Tennessee. The Santa Anna bribery revelations of Gen. Pillow do not appear to have answered the purpose intended. In the Boardot Aldermen last evening a pream- ble and resolution were adopted referring to the Committee on Lands and Places the subject of put- | ting into operation our public works—particalarly the improvement of the Central Park—to report apon a plan whereby a large class of working men may be employed during the approaching winter. | ‘The preamble states that the present financial crisis _ must throw many poor men out of employment; | that it is the duty of the Common Concil to aid in maintaining the honor and credit of the city; that | dat little work has yet been done on the Central Park and the new reservoir, and that the carrying | forward of those projects will affurd reliefto many. A | resolution to regulate the speed of stages to six miles | per hour, as required by law, was adopted. A report from the Councilmen to donate $1,200 to the New York Juvenile asylum was concurred in. The increase of assessment bonds for Corporation work from six to seven per cent was ordered, in view of the financial condition of the community. A report © pay John MoGrain $5,340 for removing dead bodies from Potter's Ficld, was debated, and finally recommitted. A report to establich a new ferry from Jackson street, New York, to Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, was concurredin. The payment of $100 ‘8 year for carriage hire for each of the members of the Common Council, was lost for want of a consti- tational majority. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, when a large number of reports of the Committee on Finance were referred to the Com- mittee of the Whole. The ordinance reorganizing the City Inspector's Department in conformity with the new charter, was called up again, and made the special order for Monday. The report of the special committee on the appointment of canyassers and inspectors of elestion was accepted, and the appointments laid over. A few unimportant papers passed to a third reading. Five hundred dollars ‘was appropriated for a stand of colcrs for the Pifty-fifth Regiment of the New York State Militia. We publish to-day reports of the very able and conclusive arguments of Messrs. Whiting and Field, made before the Recorder on Wednesday, to show that « party should not Le deprived of his right to a preliminary examination before a magistrate by ‘any trickery or misunderstanding. The arguments ‘were made in the case of Daniel E. Sickles against the editor of the Hrnaxo, on the motion to vacate an order made some weeks since by the City Judge to wend back the papers inthe case to the magis- trate. A very curious and interesting discussion took place between the Recorder and Mr. Whiting asto the distincti.n between a libel and what was ‘in its nature libellows matter. The report thereof cannot fail to be amusing, if not instractive. A meeting of ladies is to be held at Niblo’s today in aid of the proposed testimonial to the widow and daughter of tne late Commander Herndon, of the steamer Central America. President Buchanan has sent to Capt. Johnson, of the Norwegian bark Ellen, who #0 gallantly rescued the passengers of the Cen- tral America, magnificent watch and chain, said to be the best the world can produce. Hon. Louis Mc\ane died et Baltimore on Wednes- day leet. He was twice Minister to Ragland, and Gilled the post of Secretory of the Treasury during the sdministration of General Jackson. The National Chess Congress held an adjourned meeting Inet evening, and a report Teapecting the revision of the laws of the game was made by the committee appointed for the purpove. Other inte resting details are given in our report in another colamn. Nathan Levin appeared before the Recorder yes terday afternoon, st Chambers, accusing Llerac! Sreinbardt with abstracting £940 in English bank notes (nearly $5,000) from his valise, while Stein. bardt charges Levin with concocting a plan to de rand bim of his money. It seems that they have Just arrived from Bacharest, Wallachia, where they carried on the business of brokers, and that previous ‘to embarking they had a settlement in London. The cane is involved in mystery at present, but the Re- corder will resume the hearing this morning, and send it to the Grand Jury it there is probable canse. ‘The room was crowded by Germaa Jews, who ap peared to be interested in the matter. George Gould, a very respectable looking English. man, bookbinder, residing in Righteenth street ‘was tried nod convicted yesterday of bigamy, in the Court of Sessions. It was clearly proven that on | is made by the State barkiog laws, Christmas day, 1866, he married Emma Farmer in NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1867. St. Luke's church, Brooklyn; and that on the 6th of Janvary lest he was united to Isabella D. Nutting by Rev, Mr. Anthon, rector of St. Mark's churoh, New York. The jury recommended him to meccy, and he was remandcd for eentence. Thomas, indicted for assaulting a little girl intent to commit a rape, pleaded guilty to a simple assault- He was also remanded for sentence. Richard Ellis, Tue Crisis—A Harvest ror Tar Lawyers — Wuat Suoutp tus Government Do?—From the financial and commercial troubles of the commu- nity the lawyers always reap a rich harvest. They follow in the track of a financial revalsion as undertakers and grave-diggers follow in the wake of a desolating epidemic, or as a notorious «ffender, who has already spent fifteen | Wolves snd vultures follow the trail of a years of his life in the State prison, was convicted of | shattcred and retreating army. So now, at this burglary in the third degree, and sen: to Sing Sing for five years, the highest penalty whith the law allowed the Court to impose. He in company with man named Lewis, broke into a éry goods store in Mulberry street, and stole a quantity of flannel, which, together with seventy-five skeleton keys and a pumber of chisels, was found in the prisoner's bedroom. Lewis was convicted last month and sent to the State prison for the same term. John Fel- linger was on trial, charge. with burglary in the first degree, in bresking into the dwelling house of Solo” mon Reinhardt, 228 avenue A, on the 20th of Au- , when the Court adjourned. ‘The Fire Commissioners were engaged last even- in examining the returns of the fre companies, and «ssorting the active and inactive members of | the department. The case of Engine Company No. £3 was postponed to Thursday next. The first payments into the Police Health and In.¢| surance Fund, for the benetit of the widows and families of disabled policemen, have already been made, and an account of the state of the funa will be found elsewhere. The steamship Southerner, the pioneer ef the Charleston and New York steamers, and running in Spofford & Tileston’s line, was sold at public auction yesterday, by M. L Hoffnan & Co., for $10,200. The statement published yesterday in some of the city papers regarding the uumber of vessels in port loading with grain, was grossly inzorrect. Several and others bave cleared, or are iying in the stream, ready for sailing. The quantities of grain put dowa to ench vessel were also wrong. In one case where 12,000 bushels were put down, the vessel had oniy engaged 4,000. Thesales of cotton yesterday were confined to axme small lt, at irregular prices, there being a wide rauge between carh and sbort time sales Middling uclands ranged, it wag cald, from 1430. upto 18K. There con- {inced to be small shipments made on ownera’ account. Owirg to I'ght receipts and ama | took of flour, the market udvanced about 6 cents per bbl. on all grades, with a fair | amourt cf'sales. Wheat sold pretty freely, though for all kin s excep! prime to chcloe, pricos were exsier. Scuttern white sold at $1 2a $1 35; red do, at $1 20 & $1 24, and prime white Miobigan at $1 17. Corn xo'd moderately at 680. 9 693¢c. for mixed, delivered. Holdere of pork advanced thelr prices to $28 608 $24, which checked sales. Prime sold, to go out of market, at $18.50.

The late imbroglio between the Wise and Hun- ter factions, which has been threatening for some time a regular New York civil wat among the Vir- ginia democracy, has been settled upon tae practi- cal basis of an exchange of equivalents as between Wise and Hunter. The Governor gives up his claims to the United States Senate, and the Sena- | tor gives up his claims to the Presidency. Thus the re-election of Mr. Hunter to the Senate may be considered a pretty eure thing; and thus Gov. Wise will get the undivided support of the Vir- ginia democracy for the succession in the White House, In this matter, however, Mr. Wise will have a number of formidable competitors to cope with. Among them will be Judge Douglas, as the oan didate of the Great West; and he is very busy out there just now, electioneering among the people. Then the Southern ultras, with the with- drawal of Mr. Hunter, will undoubtedly concen- trate upon Jeff. Davis and his great Southern confederacy programme, “based upon military principles.” And then, again, the conservative democracy of the South will most probably, in good season, bring out Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury, with a powerful party at his back. Bat although the chances of Gov. Wise are thus rendered somewhat doubtful, his position asa Presidential candidate is a very good one—First, becaure the North will have had the last three Presidents—Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan; eecondly, becaure Virginis, more than avy other State, was instrumental in the nomination of both Pierce and Buobanan; thirdly, because Governor Wise, as much as any other man, was instrumental in bringing about the nomination of Mr. Buchanan, asa party and Southern debt due to Pennsylvania; and, fourtbly, because Gov. Wise was the man that unhoreed the Knight ot the Dark Lantern, and gave bim his Waterloo defeat in the Old Dominion. Thus much for Governor Wise. The oniy thing row required to clinch the compromise between him and Senator Hucter is a maniy public manifesto from the latter, giving in his full adhesion to Mr. Bacbauan’s administration. Without some such act of purification on the part of Mr. Hunter, he may yet be left on the wrong side of the fence by the Virginia Legislature Where is Mr. Hanter? Let us bear from Mr. Hunter. We must hear from Mr. Hanter, SnvoctaR Paexomena or Tae Reverstoy.—We publieb in snother column an article on the crisis from the Independent, axd conjointly with it an of those included in the list have sailed for Europe, | crisis, when bavks, railroads, factorics, merchants, brokera, epeculatora, stockjobbers, and all their appendages, are undergoing the test of the cru- cible at white beat, aud when every day’s histo: ry is but the hietory of breakager, collapses and failures, the lawyers are in the midst of a per- fect jubilee. Yea, a perfect jubilee in the lively work of assignments, settlements, mortgages, titles, as- seta, defalcations, embezzlements, prosecutions, and what not. The military epotls of Ssbastopol were cnormous—the losses to the community from the sbinplaster currency of 1837 were pro- digious—the losses of the bull stockjobbers of Wall street during the last two or three months have been awful to think of; but the net gains to the lawyers froma financial revulsion like this, defy all computation. They cannot be es- tiwated—they cannot’ be conjectured. Take a case, a single case, by way of iilustration: About twenty years ago the North Americaa Trust Company went to pieces, and the fees of the law- yers trom that day to this, in the settlement of its still unsettled affuire, will cover a margin of half a million of dollars, But imagiue the busi- ness—the bewildering masses of epoils aud plun- der—the heaps of riches—te the wreckers, from the foundering of a hundred ship: on the shoals of Barnegat in the course of a single night! Yes, yes, we are indeed in the midat of the jubi- 1ee—the carnival, the millenium of our ficancial wreckers, the lawyers, and God only kaows when end what will be the end of it, At such a crisis, however, the general govern- ment, in its authority to establish a general law of bankruptcy, may do much in a well digested and hoceet bankrupt act to bring order out ot chaos, and to put our mercantile, manufacturiog and agricultural interests upon their feet again. And as this relict may be given with a compara- tively trifling aggregate loss to the-couatry, the | attention of the administration at Washington, we truet, will be attracted to the subject, witha special reference to some special legislation in the premises by the coming Congrem, An bonest bankrupt act, and other government mea- sures necessary to the establishment of a solid commercial and financial system, have, in fact, suddenly become the subjects of paramount in- terest to all sections of the country, and all classes of our people, and for the next year or two, at least, financial and commercial issues will bicck the game of the slavery agitators. Our only way to escape from confusion worse con- founded, and from shaving land sharks, wreckera and lawyers is in our lawmakers; and from the experience of the past our lawmakers may re- liéve us toa great extent for the present, and secure us for the future. To this end we call upon our worthy President to take the initiative in his annual message to Congress. Rerorm ts TawmMany Hawt.—The quarrels and squabbles and feuds ard difficulties of the belligerent committees of Old Tammany, from the great wigwam down to the coal hole, have been settled. Peace is restored. Sachems and Segamunde, Piankeshaws and Pottawotomics smoke again from the same pipe. The hatchet is buried, harmony prevails again, and Wileon Small ard Peter Cooper, Fernando Wood and Postmaster Fowler, Collector Schell and Sur- veyor Hart, Sanders, Rynders, and, on all sides, the heads snd tails of the unterrified democracy are hail fellows well met, and jolly asa band of brothers. Good counsels and broad hints from Washington have had their influence in this busi- nese, and there are only two notable Marplots remaining—Dan Sickles and Dicky Busteed. For reasons best known to themselves they have resisted to the death this happy fusion of the factions, Our readers, however, will hardly be surprised to learn, in this connection, that this fusion thus opposed, comprehends the total aboli- tion of the ruffians and raffianiem which have so long ruled our democratic primary elections; and that, in view of short-boys and pugilists, bruisers and jail birds, the raid primary elections are here- after to be controlicd by the recorded members of ward organizations, made up of honest and reepectabie citizens. This is what we calla glo- rious reform, and the reunion of the democracy upon this basis will make the party irresistible Sgainst ali coalitions. In view of this new demo- cratic treaty of peace, the combined forces of Kuow Nothingiem and biack republicanism, if they should combine, will be powerless against the ccnsolidated democracy; for Oid Tammany, in her new, clean and burnished regimentals, will eweep the field. Trovere at West Pornt —Strange stories have heen afloat for eome days in relation to the mili- tary sca¢emy at Wert Point. No fall report of the circumstances hae yet been made public; bat it is popularly bruited that duels have lately token place, as well between the professors as betwren the students, and that the discipline of article from the eame jourcal of 30t> July. Toe contrast illustrates the judgment with which that and other journals have been heretofore con: ducted. It is a very singular thing that thie revulsion thould, with euch unerring certainty, have strack down #0 many of the leaders of the anti-elarery party. We note, among the first victime of the present revulsion, the publishers of “Uacle Tom's Cabin,’ Mesers. Boweu and McNamee, the princi- pal owncre and the financial au’borities of the Independent, od at least balf a dozen of the great guns of the party in philanthropy and specula tion, It seems as though there wee a fatality in it. : Philanthropy, a4 trade, does not pay ; most of the antitlavery chiefs have had to go into all sorta of specuiations to keep the pot boiling, and, a2 a necersary Consequence, the moment the tide turvs, aod bard times come, they go down Your anti-dlavery philorophere are uosafe in businees, Tux Bank Question —Nambers of cashiers of the banks from Troy, Albany, and the North and West, arrived in town yeeterday and the even- ing before, to coneult with the officers of the Metropolitan and American Exchange Banke iu reference to the movement of the crops The country banks offer to advance the meane for the movement of the crope provi'ed the city banks will protect their circulation for sixty daya. We think this would be an excellent arrange ment. Everything should now be sacrificed to the movement of the crops, and the offer of the coun- try banks to bring the wheat forward, eafe as it ought, it seams to us, to be entertained, the institution has been notably disturbed. There is reason to fear that the foundation for these stories is worthy of reliance, Under the circumstances, considering the im- mevre impertance of the maintenance of strict discipline at West Point, and the poesible conse- quences if that institution were to become disor- genizcd ae come similar institutions on the conti- neat of Europe have lately become, we hope that the government will lose no time in instituting the most thorough inquiry into the circumstances, and in applying whatever remedy the existing evil may require. A Specimen Sannatn Scoot Perer Fox Evance.ist —An American Sunday School pro- ferror of high standing is reported a defaulter to the tune of eomething less than a bundred thou- and doltars; and this, too, after having occupied bis post for more than ® quarter of a ceatary. What aabocking epecimen of the benign infla- enece of Sunday school teaching is thir, to be eure! This does look like “stealing the livery of heaven to rerve the devil in.” No doubt this piou teacher of innocent children every Sunday for belf a long life time has been thanking God in some fashionable church that be is better than other mn. But see how he comes out when they come to look into his accounte. He turns up a oefeutter, which is the next thing toa rogae and 4 robber, or the Peter Funk who obtains money npon false pretences, Ln fact, Peter Fanke, from the Fifth avenue to the Five Pointsa—fiom Wall street to Cow Bay—have come upon ua like an Egyptian plague, avd the honest Christian, like he bonest man of bosiners, is outraged and swindled at every turn by some smooth-faced vcofeseional brother who tarne up a Peter Fuok. Lord Byron’s deolaration that Satan and his imps have taken ‘‘a- long pull, a strong pull,and a pull all together,” is again fulfilled, and our teachers of Christianity must give up the Hiodoos and Feejees, give up stewed oysters and cham- pagne, take off thelr silk gloves, and goto work in earnest, or the day is lost, and Lucifer the vic- tor. pene ERLE ee sneer on Tae Cuevatier Wess iv Distress.—The Chevalier Webb is in very great distress about the Heravp and the banks, and the banks and the Henan, and he is very much puzzled as to which is which. Sometimes he is convinced that the Hera.p is the organ of the banks; and then again he is entirely satisfied that the particular mission of the HeraLp is to deatroy the banks, and the stockjobbers, and the lame ducks, and the chevaliers, and the niggers, and everything ele tbat comes in our way. But we know some- thing of the peculiar weakness of Chevalier Webb for banks and bank accommodations. -Ab, yes! it is the Chevalier who wants to be the organ of the banks. And why not? Let him strap his band organ to his back, mount a monkey upon his shoulders, and go at once to the work of gtinéing out his bauk music for the bulls and bears, and shinners, skinners and sinners of Wall street. Ata very small expense he may thus be converted into a regular Italian mounte- bavk. But we suspect that the real seoret of this great distress of our melancholy Chevalier arises rom the fact that there are no Nick Biddles to be picked up in these degenerate times—no bank drummers, with an accommodation of $52,675 walking up and down Wall street looking for eomebody to take the money. And what a pity; Very convenient to the Chevalier, just at this par- ticular time, we apprehend, would be a lift of $52,000, or even $40,000, to square up a certain newepaper mortgage, which otherwise, perhaps, will have to await the uncertain chances of acother Bankrupt law. Will nobody help the Chevalier out of his distress? Has he no credit with the banks? Confidence—confidence—oan’t he get a little confidence somewhere at half price? Screntiric SquaBBLES--TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE.—The savans are almost as quarrel- some # race as artists. Touch them onany point connected with their claims to discovery, and their susceptibilities are instantly aroused. The fact is constantly brought home to us by the piles of correrpondence with which we are overwhelmed after the meetings of scientific associations, The contributors who fancy that justice has not been done to their papers in the published traneactions of such societies, invariably fall back upon the Herap to assist them in righting themselves, We are proverbially good natured, and are known to detest monopolies, so that we have be- come a sort of refuge for the distressed. The de- mands upcn our benevolence are, however, mul- tiplying so fast that we are compelled to set some bousds to the indulgence of our inclinations, Learned professors, as well as artists, should recollect that we have other duties on hand than that of acting asarbiter in their disputes. People seem to forget that there is neither profit nor honor to be gained by thrasting one’s hands into & hornet’s nest. ‘We have before us at the present moment an angry correspondence upon a subject which, however interesting in the dog days, will just now neither excite the sympathies of Wall street nor aid the digestion of bank directors, Pro- fessor Winslow, a gentleman lately returned from the Sandwich Islands, and who has written a clever treatise to prove that it is to the agency of the eun that we owe the dynamical tension with- in the globe which imparts to continents their pe- culiar configuration, endeavors in several folio sheets of a communication to convince us that in the theories on the same subject advanced at the late Scientific Convention at Montreal, by Pro- fessor Pierce, of Cambridge, that gentleman has plagiarised the leading features of his discovery. In proof of this assertion he adduces the fact thata portion of the paper which he sent in to the society at a previous meeting, and which contained this particular theory of solar causa- tion, has been withheld, or purposely mislaid, by the publiching committee, of which Profcesor Peirce was a member, Without dwelling too particularly on the fact, that although Profeesor Winslow's paper was allowed to be read it was refused pub- licaticn by the Cambridge committee, we must remind its author that nothing is more difficult to establieh than the priority of scientific discoveries. The history of discovery and invention, from the earliest time, shows that the same light may flash simultaneously on several minds. There is scarcely a single ecien- tific fact which has been established about the authorship of which there are not rival claims, The labors of Bacon, Newton, Sir Hamphrey Davy, and other scientific explorers, have all in their turn undergone the ordeal of dispute. It will, therefore, take something more than the lose, accidental or otherwiee, of a few pages of Profeseor Winslow's paper on solar influences to prove that Professor Pierce has unfairly availed himeelf of the fruits of his researches. To scientific men, as well as to all others en- gaged in liberal pursuits, we would counsel more liberatity of sentiment. The narrow minded jealousies and cavilling spirit manifested in such quarrels are unworthy of minds occupied in the great work of intellectual progress. Science would indeed be a barren and worthless pursuit if ali that it taught was envy and malignity. Is rr toe Tanter ?—Or 13 tt Toe Banks axp Srocxsorners?—The old whig party hue and cry against a low tariff is raised again as the cause of our late excessive importations. Even the late free trade David Wilmot, of Pennsylva- nia, takes up this cry against the low tariff of ’46 asthe cause of the present revulsion; but we cannot concur with these high tariff philoso- phers in this solution of the financial trou- bles that have so thickly come upon us. No. We cannot trace them to the tariff of 46; but we can trace them to the banks and stockjobbers, the railroad and land speculators, the fashions, flammeries, fopperies, nincompoop- | eries, extravagances, vanities, licentiousness, rogueries, defa cations, embezzlements, forgeries, frauds, perjarics, and all the other rascalities of a wide-spread demoraiization among men and women, eaints and sinnere—from puritanical Boston to Sabbath breaking New Orleans. There are the potent causes of the present revul- sion, and a two hundred per cent tariff against these terrible evila of the times would have been as powerices as a row boat in the rapids of Niagara. Millionaire railroad jobbers, stockjob- bers, landjobbers, banks, epeculators, peculators end forgers, fast young men, fast old men, fast women, fast horses, brandy, billiards and faro, French gewgaws, fashionabie rivairice in wasting money, and all such rubbish, staff acd abomina- tione, bave done the business. The tariff of ‘46 can't be made the scapegoat of the revalsion of ‘67. We bave been esjoying « high carousal, and are now called upon to foot the bills That’s all. EEE EEE, THE LATEST NEWS.

Seoretary Floyd and Captain Meigs called upon Presi dent Buchanan to-day, by engagement, to consult upon the propricty of prosecuting with increased vigor the work upon the Washington aqueduct. Caplin Meigs is apprehensive that the contraciors will forfeit their oon- tuacty, and he favors the employment by the government of a large additional force, to be composed of those who way be threwn oct of employment by the financial panic jewbere, thus throwing into immediate cireulation s large amourt of money, and affording relief to the labor- ing clastee.

Exohange and freights are at s stand stim, Whe Opera—« Don Giovanni,” The “Dom Giovanni” of Mozart was presented af the Academy om Wednesday, with the following cnst—the strongest we remember for many years :— Done Anza, ‘The house was Tully equal to the occasion, being crowd. ed im every part w! b an audionce as once fashionable amd critical, Hardly «resident connoisseur or amateur was absent. “Dom Giovanni’ presents certain ulMoutes, which are almost insurmountable to ‘opera companies as they are constituted ai the present day. The voeal seere Contains six frst class parts, while wo rarciy have more . than two first olaes artists in any company, Tt fo pleasant to be able to cay, with tratb, that the per. formance of Wednesday came near toe triumph over this ¢iffoulty, Mme. de Ja Grange was exocellont in Doma Anra—not @ very pleasing rolé; and we bave rarey heard anything betier, in the way of execu ion, than her tipging of ber part in the first duet with the tenor. ‘Throvghout the opera she preserved the dramutic spirits Of the character im every poiatof view. Mmo Straleues sang Donna Elvira carefully and well She ie alwaye the same excellent and reliable artist. Mile. Frezzolial, whom ‘we name in the order of the cast, was a deliciovaly eoquet- tish Zorlina, and nothing could be more charming thaa her Playful ratery of “ bel Masetto.”” The Batti bait wan somewhat too low for her voice; but her sweet and flexible organ, with iis exceeding refinement and oai- iva'iem, found foll scope im the Vedrai carino. The Don Glovanni—Garsicr—was the best we bave seen here. ‘This artist bas heretofore had the groatest enoce.s with ws, ‘and he re affirmed it all im this performance. His acting of the part is capital, and he dashod off the music with so much spirit as to gain the applanse of the house ibrough- out, Rocco was an excellent Leperciio—at tines e Ikte extravagant in bis fan—but that seemed an occasional bell- ing over of animal spirits quite excusable, He sang his firat scena 80 admirably as to ob‘ain » recall, and narrowly escaped an cnocore. The tenor was moderately good. The orchestra was admirable. Mr. Avschuts evidently bad his heart tn bis work, and treated the score more tenderly ‘than is bis custom. “ Don Glovarni” is to be repeated to night, with the vame artists, and, in addition, there is to bo a concert by ‘Thalberg and Vieaxtemps between the acts, It will bea Grand winding ap of a most liberally conducted season.
