AMUSEMENTS. Ristori’s Be: ad Enst Appearauce tu lyn. The announcement Madame Ristori would make ber last appearance jn Brooklyn would in itself be suffl- cient 4 ntive tc draw a full house, but when to this was added that the performance was a benefit to the Great tragedienne, it is not @urprising that » magnificent gudience assembled in the Academy of Music last even- ing, Madame Ristort, evidently anxious to compliment her hoat of friends in Brooklyn, selected for the occasion of her benefit and farewell performance Elizabeth, con- fessediy the piece in which she has gained her chiof triumph. The doors of the Academy were thrown open @ Kittle before the usual time, no doubt to give ad- mission at once from the celd and damp even- ing air to the warm interior of the building to numbers who #0 early arrived to make sure of such seats as wore not already secured. The curtain gubsequently rose before a most brilliant audience, the stalls, parquet and circle presenting a brilliant array of the wealth, fashion and beauty of Brooklya—the ladies, notwithstanding the cold end threatening evening, ap- pearing im the richest and most attractive toilets, as if anxious to present in this graceful manner a souvenir as statifying to the fair benoficiary as that which marked their appreciation of her talent during her previous per- ormance in giving the largest night's proceeds that ever went into her theatrical treasurer's coffers. With thie accordance between the actress and her audience the performance dould not fai! to be a success, Madame Rigtort never fooked or acted better, and as she was most ably Sopgorses througtout, the audience felt on leavi! the bufiding that they had red a rich intellectual treat. Ristori was called to the it at the close of each act to receive the acknowledgments of her delighted audience, and again after the closing scene, at which time the enthusiasm of the audience was manifested in RWTOR'S FARSWELI. When called in front of the curtain on the last oc- all smiles and casion, ject I] yore expressive of the deepest gratification, Madame Ristori, amid - leas siles spoke her farewell address in a few English words as follows: — “ Ladies and Gentlemen—I wish I could thank you. 1 have the will, but not the words." This simple and touch) greeted jarmest manner, ali conceding that m manner and sentiment was in the words nothing could exceed its appropriateness. Last evening was the seventh appearance of Madame Ristori, the administration recoiving over $20,000 for the seven performances given since her debut to her last night's exit, HENEPIT OF RIBTOR! IN NRW YORK TO-NIGHT. No lover of dramatic art in its highest and grandest form should miss tho last night of the great tragedieune, Ristori, in her celebrated character of Medea and the equally cetobrated sleep-walking scene in Macbeth. Such attractions, added to the fact that it 1 her benefit, cannot fail to crowd the Frenoh theatre to-night. To- morrow the tarewoll matinée will take place, Mary Stuart will be given, % Broadway Theatre—Mr. Shylock. Tho remarks made in respect to Mr. Dawison's Shy- lock, during his engagement at the Stadt theatre, are particuiarly applicable to Mr. Dillon’s conception and representation. Mr, Dawison’s rendoring was fine aod subtle, Mr. Dillon's is strong and, on the who 6, to our mind, trop prononcé. Both fail, in our judgment, to ap- preciate or comprehend the character of the Jow as Shakspere drew him, They give too mueb prominence to his personal wrong and individual vindictivenesa, leaving out of sight the hatred he felt for the Christiaus because of the persecutions bis race had 4#o long and patiently endurea, They do not invest Shylock with suMcient dignity or poetry, especially Mr, Dillon, who omits almost entirely the latter element. In his hands the Jew appears merely a crafiy, cruel, even a’ usurer, whose only purpose in lending Antonio mouey was to gratify persomal revenge by cutting tho much-coveted pound of flesh from the unfortunate merchant's breast. Of the largeness, the generous wrath, the long-smouldering hatred inlerited from his ances- tors there is no trace in Mr. Dillon's Shylock. It is simply o fierce lust for bleod; a wild, brutal craving to cut the Hfe out of the man whd bad grossly pat upon him on the Rialto. No one would imagine his Jew had received other than a personal wrong, orghat he had ought behind bis own experiences to urge bifn to vengeance. One wouders almost why he does not take the offered ducats by 90 sordid and small and mean he makes him; ingtead of the life of his detested foe.

Its vividnoss and effet wore worthy of any Itving artist. It was one of those felicit- ous efforta of Mr. Dillon which make Lim seem the pow seasor of tive genius.

Zampa is the heaviest and most taxing opera that Mr. Juignot's excellent cowpany have attempted this geason, and thetr shortcomings may be attributed ooly to the nature of the music, which approaches nesrly the gemud opera, aod ja therefore uneulted for Opéra Comique artists, Still the work was, with one exception, very creditably given, apd both chorus and orchestra displayed unwonted pow- ers. The orchestra waa admirably led by M. Predigam. At times the dashing music of the score Bapired the mu- sicians to such an extent that they miscaloniated the power of the voices and irft them completely in the shade.

Notwithstanding a very unpromising and forbidding evening for enjoyment out of doors, Hooley’s neat and @ttractive little Opera House and the well appreciated amusements to be enjoyed there brought together an audience that left no spare room.

Blehop Pierce was chosen tho presiding officer, and there were also In attendance Bishops Early and Doggett. After the Introductory exercive: of calling the roll, electing officers, reading @ portion of the Bible, praver and singing, came the appointment of standing comm 'ttees and listening to tho reporia touch: ing elders. A jood portion of the day's session was oon- sumod in this last business, All the ministers, with one exception, gave their elders good characters, and highly complimented thelr Christian Inbory and xeel during the past year. The conduct of this exceptional elder was characterized ax immoral, and the question was whether, having since expressed repoutance for hts immorality, he could be accepted asa private membor. ‘The presiding Bishop decided that he could, and this ended the mat ter. Key, Mr. Wills, of tho Atiantts diairict, referred rathor ncrimoniousiy to the avpearauce In his district of & rnbcommittee from Philadetputa, and alieged that, through their dissemination of Northern views, dis'urb ances and dasensions had ocourred.
