THE COLONIZATION OF FLORIDA. Large Meeting at the Cooper Institate— Speeches of Hons. E. 8. Thayer and Caleb Cushing—Natling Our Fiag to the Maat, d&e., &e., d&e. ‘A large and enthusiastic meeting was beld at tho Cooper Institate, on Saturday evening tast, to consider the best and most available means for the colonization of Florida. The idea of sending there armed free labor | colonists was fully discussed, with the view that ail the free,laborers so sent should become permanent residents of the State, The Hon. Fr S. Taayxs made a forcible adures im sup- port of the preposition, dwelling at lengtb ou the aavan- ence which would result frem the adoption of such a plan. After the conclusion of Mr, Thayer’s speech, Mr. Cates CustunG was introduced, and spoke at some length on the same topic, favoring the views so well ox pressed by Mr. Thayer. He said the question had fre | quently been asked him—How will you govern the rel | States if you conquer them’? He thought ifthey were whipped the rebel States would give up as many others had done before them, The proper way to secire this result was by earnestly supporting the govern- t of the ‘conntry, and = lending it every aid to put down the rebellion. He then alluded to the operations of the system of slavery. James , Bir- ney, a mau of fortune and education, wndertook to over- throw tho system of slavery by appeals to the people; but he was finally obliged to leave tie South, and he be- e of the opinion that the home of slavery was hope lossly corrupt. He (the speaker) had himself onco thought that it only needed (ree speech in Kentucky to cause tho destruction of slavery. But he found that there | were elements of strength in slavery that rosisted even | freesnecch. Ono of the strongest of these was the land | moncpoly, ‘The Gracchi knew that Rome was weakened by the spread of slavery. They told the Romans that | unless tho lands were Kept for the yeoman the country would relapse into barbarism: But the nobles would not believe it, but threw the prophets from the ‘Tarpeian ‘rock, and the destruction of Rome followed, ag ' predicted. The Beuth had been committing the same blunder—encouraging lund monopolies. Mr, Thayer had practically carried out his scheme for the redemption of Kansas, He had put out an appeal to the people of the United States to come down and people Kentucky, establish schools and charches and control slavery peaceably. he plan proved a success in Kansas, We had failed thus far by the failure to recog. nize the black element in the South and the white Joyal element, as those to be first consulted in establishing the policy of whe country.

A rebel has no right to his life, to his property, or to liberty. That is the plain law. Lot us, therefore, carry it out. If not, what is to become of the loyal men of the South?

We have had ‘‘Marta,’” “The Vespers,’ ‘Don Giovanni,” “Ner- same week the Brooklynites were treated to asplendid ‘performance of ‘ Ervani.”? A Dusy ttme % has been, surely, for Manager Grau and his artists, ‘The great event of this meteoric seasom was the pro- duction of Mozart's master piece, ‘* Don Gtovanni¢? which was a decided success, ‘Yhis is saying much, as even © produce the work tolerably is a rare aobioy- ment.

Tho grand recite: tive, in which Donna Anna reveals her suspicions that Pon Giovanni murdered her father, wos admirably ren- dered, Her’ appeal to Ottayio (Brignoit) to resent this crime , calling upon him, as a proof of his love, to swear vengeance, was sung with great spirit and force. The audience applauded most heartily this .offort of the artiste, In the concerted music Bighora Lorini was heard to great advantage, especially in tha terzetto sung by herself, Madame Strakerch and Brignoli. A tumuituons encore was inaisted upon by the public. Lorini labored under one disadvantage—the role of Donna Anna }s pot one which excites the sympathy of the pub- lic, who usually mark out Zerlina a their favorite. We presume this result goas to prove that we like the gay and the lively much more than the gricf-stricken or tho melancholy; and Donna Anna ia certainly the latter. Spite of this drawback, Signora Lorini achieved by her fine singing 4 succese, as she met with great applause. We would suggest to Mise Kellogg a little less refinement in acting the role of Zerlina, She must be a peasant girl, not a lady in peasant’s drese. We do not say this with any desire to carp at a performance which gave universal pleasure, but merely ag a hint to a favorito artic. We wish now to refer to Signer Briguoli, who recoived on the night of the perform ance of Dou Giovanni” a tellug proof of his popularity with a New York aulri He sang the music of his part (Ottavio) with great success until he caine to the gem of his performance, ‘Il mio ‘Tesoro,’ wiich was rendered delightfully up to the last note, Here Brignoli's voice, as yet net fully reliable (he has been very ill), broke. A pause ensued, during which iho artist, evident- jy annoyed, walked off the stage. Then came tuanders of applause. The public appreciated that such accideats are unavoidable with the best voices, and they wished to convince the favorite tenor of this, He reappeared, saog with moro animation than before, and retired amid Jong and continued applause. Tho matinee of Saturday was, as we stated above, a great success. ‘Two acts of Norma’? wore given, after which the French comic opera ‘Les Nocos de Jeannette” was sung. Signora Lorini and Morensi have appeared here vefore in *‘Norma;” but we are sure the numerous sudieuce will bear us out in the assertion that qn this ce. casion they sang with unusual success. ‘The ‘Casta Diva’ of Lorini was admirably rendored, while through. out the performance the pure, fre-h contralto of Morena was heard wit pleasure, The voice is powerful, there is no visible effort, no fear is entertained that the artist will fail in giving each note, and hence the enjoyment of the audience is complete, Signor Maccaferri, as Poli- one, sang with power and without any superabundance of action. He was certainly a most effective Polione. ‘+ Les Noces do Jeannette,” sung by Mile. Cordier and M. Dubreuil, passed off pleasantly enough, but had the disadvantage of coming immediately after the grand and melodious opera of which we bave just spoken. With the aire of¢‘' Norma’? still ringlng ip our eare, ‘‘ Les Noces ” was not as successful & performance as it would otherwise have been. Mile. Cordier sang the music of her role with great spirit. M. Dubreull, as Jean, acted aud sang the part most commendably. ‘We have now done with Mapager Grau and his artietes, and must look jorward to the arrival of Maretzek’s troupe, who bogin here on the 2d of March. We learn from Havana that Maretzek had, at the last accounts, closed his season of sixty performances at the Tacon, but would probably give a fow more representations before taking his departure for this city. He has produced thir. teen operas, three of which—“Trovatore,” ‘Traviata’ and “The Ballo in Maschera’’—were performed eight, aud the new one—‘Ione’’—six timtes. The others were “Son nambula,’? “Norma,” “Macbeth,” ‘“Krnani,” ‘Favo- rita,” “Lucrezia,”? ‘Lucia,’ ‘Puritani’’? and ‘Otello.’ We hear the most favorable accounts of this company. The tenor, Mazzalini, is very highly praised. Mme. Char. ton, the principal prima donna, wag moet favorably spoken of by the best London critics before leaving for America. During the interim which must occur ere we can have opera at our Academy of Music we have an admirable substitute in the German Opera, so ably directed by Manager Anschutz, who, with his very compiete orches. tra, choruses and talented troupo, is epabled to produce operatic novelties with great success. The resumption of his season in New York was marked by a most success. fal performance of ‘Der Freischutz.” To-night «Fi delio” will be given. On Thursday evening next the benefit of Mr. Lotti will take place. The opera of ‘‘Martha” is selected for the occasion. ‘We are pleased to hear that Manager Anschutz par. poses giving a series of foeratic performances in Brooklyn. ‘Die Zauberflote’—“‘The Magic Flute’—by Mozart, will commence the series, with an increased orchestra and chorus. We heartily com mend this enterprise to the public, and wish Manager Anschutz all the success he will surely morit. ‘The opera nights for Brooklyn will be Tuesdays and Satur. days of this week and the following. The artists are re. hearsing ‘Fra Diavolo,” by Auber, aud ‘Moses in Egypt,” by Mebal. The Mason and Thomas soiree of chamber music will take place at Dodworth’s Hailon Tuesday evening. The programme 38 varied and attractive. One of the most interesting entertainments of this week will be Sr. John P. Cooke’s grand eoucert at Irving Hail, the programme ot which is as brilliant as any that has ‘been aunounced this seaaon. Among the artists who have volunteered their services are Mirs Meria Brainerd, Mrs. Fanny Kempton, and Messrs. Wiiiam Castle, 8, ©. Camp. boll, J. R, Thomas, & B. Mills, J. N.

Theats teat, | During the past week there has been gothing worthy of especial note at the theatres, except, perhaps, the pro- duction of a little play called “One Touch of Nature,” at tue Winter Garden, This ove act drama was written for Webster, dameelebrated Louden actor, and his part in it (Ponholder is { those eccentric roles which he and Roveon #0 much aitect. The plot of the play is brialy this:—A copyist «t a Loudon theatre recognines in the loading actress his own daughter, who bad been taken away from his home years before by. his wife, who bad ped with a seduc at the foom of a he father and daughter meet author, and the daughter rehearses a scene in which afather recognizes a daughter, | lis himself to and rec her recollection by describing cor tain her childhood, ‘The actress rehearses very badly The copyist takes the part of the father to assist her, After several trials he eubstituses his own words for those of the play, describes his own home, and soon wins his long lost daughter to his arms ‘The short series of performances announced by Manae ma’ and ‘ Les Noces de Jeannette;” while during the” ‘play hae te be capttally acted vo ‘and 90 degenerated into burlesque of thas scone im the travestie of “Maseppa” where the Khan of Tariary stirs up memory by blowiag a penny whistle, pulling @ Jumping jack and nipging*‘ioot Hog or Die.” Mr. Coul- dock, as the copyiet, and Mr. Davenrort, as the dramatio author, were passable; bai Mise Couldock, Mr. Hind and tho individual who butehered the servant’s part bad not ‘One touch of natnre about them. For thts reason, and a'so becanse Manager Jackson did not care enough for the Picce to give it appropriate seouery, the performance was Dy no means satisfactory. Still the play ie #0 geod that hope some other company wit! adopt , Miss Laura Keeue and Mr. Wheatleigh coud do wonders with it without doubt. From our oxperience of his present en- wagement as a star, we advise Mr. Couldock not to stir from ‘The Chimpoy Corner,” and, indeod, he seems to need Mr. Davidge to make even that piece very suc- copaful., The ovent of the present week in amusomont circles is the marriage of Miss Lavinia Warren and Goneral Tom Thumb. The marriage takes place atGrace church on ‘Tuesday, at twolve M. Immediately after the ceremony the happy pair receivo at the Metropolitan Hotel. From twenty-tive to fifty dollars have been offered for cards of admission to the chureh, but po cards are issued excopt to imvited guests, and none can now be had either tor love or money. About eight hundred invitations have been sent out,iand the church will be crowded. Miss Warren is iving scores of presents daily from the guests, and some of the gifts are of the most splendid and costly material and workmaoship. Barnam’s Meseam waar jammed every day last week to see Miss Warren; but Barnumevidently soos that he has bagn pushing matters # little too far, and his name is not mentioned fo conneo- tion with the wedding.

Wallack’s anveinces @ splendid programme for next week. On Monday the charming comedy ‘A Bachelor of Arts’# will be repeated for the last time for the present. Wo advise all to see it. Wednesday, “Pauline” will be given, with all its horrors. Friday, ‘Secrets Worth Knowing’? will bo played tor tho third time thie season. It improves at each repetition. On Tuesday and Thurs- day the superb comedy ‘‘Henriotte,” adapted from the French by the lato®E. G. P. Wilkins, will be revived in excellent style. This comedy has been under. lined for some time, and the hiswry of its re production—for which we have not space to-day—is almost as romantic as the comedy itself. It will be re- marked that certain persons connected with the weekly press, who have endeavored to adopt Mr. Wilkins’ style, as If to add to their other indebtedness to bim, carefully refrain from calling special attention to the revival of his comedy, although the circumstances connected with it certainly demand special consideration. The comedy had an immense’succees at its first production, however, and will repeat that success now on its own merits. Those who miss seeing tt will lose the finest’ revival of the season. Mr. Kdwin Booth beging an engagement at the Winter Garden this evening. Tho play is Hamlet,” and Mr. Booth is supported by Miss Ada Clifton, Mrs. Wilkinson, Mr. Lawrence Barrett (a clever young actor), Mr. Georgo Jamieson (jukt returned from Europe and Boucicault) and a very good company. Mr. Booth is deservedly @ faverite, and draws the very bost audienees. His style is chaste and intellectual. Ie is uo disciple of the blood and thunder school which toaches how to bring down the house |, nd pull people out of their seats; but his effects are legit! mate and his sensations more intense than demonstrative. After a recent surfeit of the rough and tumble trago. Aians, we anticipate a rare treat in Mr. Booth’s porform- ances. Mrs. John Wood’s “Fair One with the Golden Locks”? is at last ready, aad will be produced in a most magnif. cent manner at Laura Keene’s this evening. Plaacho wrote this extravaganga, Mr. Charles Walcot, Sr., has farbished it up, and no one can hesitate to bolieve that the result of the labors of two such great geniuses will be something wonderful. Mrs. John Wood appears in throe dresses, and, according to the advertisement, with double her ordinary inte rest and importance, Uusually overwhelming, she will surpass the deluge to-night. The Arabian (o- lJosgus—Mr. Goshan—appears and speaks, and Mr. Wal- cot, who isnot to be kept down bya giant, a manager or any other man, makes his rentree after a monastic #6 clusion of fifteen months’ duration. The scenery is sure to be gorgeous and the theatre crowded. ‘Leah’ is still the attraction at Niblo’s Gardev. The houses have been capital during the past week, and we aro informed that Miss Bateman’s engagement has been prolonged for six nights beyond the original period. The seenery of ‘Leah’? is well worth seeing, and the manner in which Mr. Wheatloy and his stage director, Mr. Vincent, bring out new pieces is a model to other managers. “Leah” has been materially improved since its first production, and Mr, J. W. Wal Jack, Jr., and Mr. Kawin Adams carry it through admira- bly. We have seldom seen two such star actors 80 clov- erly supportiny each other and so effectively assisting anotber star—like Miss Bateman. Mr. E. Eddy’s engagement continues for six nights more at the New bowery theatre, ‘Tue"Dill for thie even ing is avery strong ode, and consiats of the dramatic version of “Der Freischuta,”’ the beautiful drama, ‘Mian tinyno,” with Mr. Eddy in two parts, and “The Forest of Rosenwald.” “The scenery of. ‘Der Freischutx” is very grand and the incantation scene well managed. The au- diences are, as usnal, immense. At the Old Bowery ‘The Scamps of London’? will bo Played to-night tor the firct time here. Mr. Fox's fine pantomime ‘Jack and the Boanstalk”’ will be repeated for two night#ore. This pantomime is the hit of the season, and should not be withdrawn for at least » week or two yet, unless Mr. Fox has another spectacie equally g00d ready for immediate production, A comp!im bonstit will be given to Mr. G. L. Fox on Firay cveniug next—the one hundred and fiftieth night of his sugtse. ment, Miss Laura Keene's star comedians give a performance this evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. “She ‘Stoops to Conquer” and “Two Can Piay at That Game” are the plays, and Miss Keene, Mr. Blake, Mr. Wheatleigh, Mr. Levick, Mr. Peters and other favorites aro in the cast. The provincial press speaks highly of thjs combination. It drew immense bouses.at Baltimore, Boston and Hart- ford, and will mogp than fill the Brooklyn Academy. The living hippopotamus and the gem lion take the places of Miss Warren and Commodore Nutt at Barnom’s Museum, and will not be,married to exch other until further notices, 4)1 the other curiosities, in. cluding Mr. Harrison, extempore . &ro on view as usual.
