All the ‘“zoms’ of this en. chanting work met with a hearty encore, to which each artist gracefully repliod. Orlandini’s rendorimg of the drinking song in tho third act wae very spirited a file w Phillips were alt that was requisite in their respective roles Taken altogether the performance was a rich musical treat and met with full appreciation. Broapwar THEaTRx,—Lotta, the sprightly, rollicking enchaatress, now holding forth at thia popular temple of dramatic art, stul fascinates with her simple and be- witching originality the large audiences that nightly flock to this establisument to see her in the impersona- tion of the character of Little Nell and the March- foness, in the play of that name. In this clever adapta- tion by Brougham of @ portion of Dickens’ ‘Old Curio- sity Snop" Cull scope 13 afforded to the mercurial and volatile Lotta for the exhibition of those peca- liar extravagant eccentricities and quaininesa of style which dofes alike criticism and dra- matic rules, and which go suddenly raised her to the Position of a favorito with the New York pubic. Last evening the performance was marked by that perfect fuish which was to be expected of it after the suvordi- nate characters in the cast had become more familiar ‘with the play and had toned down some of their in! monious irregularities and inconsistencies with the ish of Keoner discernment and better judymont. night Lotta, as the innocent and pathetic Little was charming, and drew forth the, sympathies plauso of the audience; but the wild, uncul- tivated Marchioness half the applause which she received was gained through some excessive overstep- ping of dramatic bounds or hoydenish caprice, instead of through good artistic acting, In Little Nell-she was everything that was required or could be desired; but in tne hioness we must admit there {3 much room for improvemént, Mr, C, Hale as Dick Swiveller was never in a happier than he was last evening; aad the game must be said of Messra, Evans, Juck and Stod. dart, ali of whom did enely and brought down th «house tn their several s. Tus New Yorx Tuuatex —That local drama of absorb- ing interest, “The Streets of Now York,’’ continuos to draw crowdod houses at this popular theatre, Every scone of the play possesses a vivid recognizable interest, Aside from the admirablo local hits and grotesque humor of some portions of the piece, there is am under- lytag voin of tragic pathos that ufter all giveu the drama tte ower. Mr. Mortimer 1s inimitable as Badger, Mr. nelly doos Puffy in a way that cannot be surpassed, and Miss Irene Worroll and Miss Lizzie Davey play their respective parts of Lucy Fairweather and Alice Bloodgood with great spirit and effectiveness. All the acting is good, and altogether a more perfect representation of life in New York is rareiy to be seon on the motropolitan stage, Oxyurto Taeatee,—Maggie Mitchell appeared at the Olympic last eveaing in “Fanchon, the Cricket,” of course attracting a crowded house. Mr. Davidge was cast in tho rile of the tyrannical tather of Cricket’s lover, and was not less successful than in Derrick Von Bookman in ‘Rip Van Winkle."’ On the whole the aup- port was excellent throughout, though the part of the lover was too stagely enactud—s0 staely, in fact, as to constitute the single blemish of an otherwise exceedingly happy cast. It 13 need'ess and would be threadoure prais» (0 say that Maggie Mitchell’s Fanchon in the singio elomont of uaturaimess has never boom exceeded, if ever equalied, on the New York stage. Nisto's Garvay,—Last nigot the “White Fawn’ waa presented wo do not know for how many nights. It moved smoothly in its brilliant course, from the pro- logue to its finale, and the immense audience, which ap- peared to bo entirely appreciative, manifested 118 delight by frequent and hearty applause. With a vivid recol- lection of the “Biche at at the Porte St, Mart: in Paris, we notice the vigorous and poriectiy artinic performance of Mr, Mark Smith as King Dingdong, Mr. Smith, famed among the courtly gentiemen of the American stage, brings into play in th piece all of his pomts that cast of the kind. Mr. Vining Twaddledum, was excocdingly clover and gained, ax he merited, may rounds of applause, Miss Fanny Stock- on, who gracefully represented Aqualina, the charming hady of thie Lake, sang aud acted the fairy with a de- lightful piquancy. We havo already frequently noticed the saltatory portion of the piece. [ts general otfect is improved by repeated presontutions. The marire de ballet might improve bis corps, which seems to be a little careless in some of the grand dances, The “White Fawi notwithstanding some defect, has a hold on the and will undoubtedly enjoy @ long run, Sreinway Harst.—-Tho readings of Mr, Janos E. Mur- doch at Steinway Hall last evening consisted of the Trial Scone, Act IV., from the Merchant of Venice ;"' “Drifting,” by Thomas Buchanan Read; “The Vaga- bonds,” by J. T. Trowbridgo; “Pho Chargo of the Six Hundred,” by Alfred Tennyson; “The Rising, or the Patriot Varson,"” by Read; “ Monsieur Tonsoa, or the Roguortes of Tom King, the Jest by John Taylor; “Sheridan's Ride," by Read, and ‘Mr. Pickwick and the Lady in Yetlow Curl Papers,’’ by Charles Dickins. in each and all of those selections Mr, Murdoch evinced bis consummate akill as an artist He showed what the human voice—the most admirable of musi cal instruments—is capable of after having been jected to thorough training. This training may supply to @ cortain extent the lack of that sympa thetic power which thrills the least critical audience, Tbe popular poem of “Sheridan's Ride” was read tru atic style and with groater eflect than we turn from ing patriotic tribute to 4," was the pre- sentation to Mr. Murdoch by Major General Hooker, on behalf of the army and navy, of an elaborately gold em- broidered silk flag, A committee algo caused to be painted & beautiful picture commemorating the event, with the text. pictorialiy illuminated, of Jobn Kodman Drake's famous *‘addreas to tho American Fiag,"’ aaa present to Mr. Murdoch, This picture has been litho- graphed and the public are thus favored with a fine work of art, a likeness of the groat actor, and an iliumi- pated of Drake's admirable poom.

Ido not recognize myself as @ general here, Jama member of this army. If there is an older soldier of the Army ofthe Obio, or of the Cum- berland, here than mysolf, Idon't know it. b know that General Johnsson and General Wood, who sit by me, ‘were appointed to your army at my opecial request, Ciaim to pe of the Army of the Ohio and ef the Army of the Tennessee. I caro not on which you throw me for my fame. Kithor is rich enough heritagefor me, [as- gure you, gentlemen, that I have beea more favored by a kind Providence and by solves than the world at large knows. A great deat of work was done before | was called upom to-command you in chief, ‘Tue first three years of war are regarded as schooling. You wero al! as brava as you are now, but you bad not the habit of the soldier, Every writer on military affairs tolls us that three years of strong and pationt tabor are necessary tormake tho soldier, It so happened that I sucoeeded to this great command just after you passed through this ordeal of schooling. | then I had (enera!

When you coupie all these events togother, and sprond thom borore the world, it is not strance that they attract attention, You would be atuazed at the minuto ness of the knowledge of the Fronch and German aud the English of these events, They have studied every movement, and know moro perfectly the detaila of that march and the harmony of its facts than most Amert- cans. It 13 conceded to have been as well exesutod ax the more recent march upon Sadowa, We withdrew an army of 100,000 men and assaiied their columns on tho march, with but one wounded maa, and that in the pro- sence of 60,000 of the enemy. We then memhod a thousand miles through the enemy's country, and not a man waa tried or executed by court martial ‘during the whole of that time.
