He used an ordinary og and from the postion of the wound evidently in- tended that the shot should be fatal, White died almost instantly, The corouer was notified, to bo Held in Nore | AMUSEMENTS, NiB.o's GaRDEN.—Last night this fashionable and elegant house was as staid and sober as if Black-Crookism and opéra vouge had never dis- Piaced the legitimate drama, Legs are no longer trumps, and Edwin Forrest reigns supreme. It was, however, exceedingly diticult to believe one’s self in Niblo's. The audience was large and sympathetic; but the feeling seemed to be general that the thing Was quiet and a little slow. This feeling 18 not unnatural in the ciroumstances; but the managers have the consolation of knowing that it will wear away, and that with Forrest as @ star it will not affect the receipts. Of King Loar we have little more to gay than that the witty, generous, nobie, rash, unreasonable old King was delineated to perfection. Mr. Forrest's Lear, which has long becn known to the New York pubis, wa paretn snc'able nay snd presents many points of pecullar excellence, Througit ‘and through the piece he looks “every inch a king” and such a king as Lear, 1t is, perhaps, as good a Lear as has been aeen on the stage since the days of the elder Kean. If not the best it 1s entitled to rank with the best since that great master paased away. Edgar was well played by George H. Clarke. The subordinate parts, indeed, one all all, were well aus- tained, The scenery was remarkably good, the music was appropriate, and altogether the piece was pul upon the stage ina manner worthy of the weil known skill and enterprise of the managers. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Fanny Janaugchek, in her grand réle of Mary Stuart last night, had a fino house, an appreciative house, a delighted house and @ great success, She ts a mugnificent reader and a royal actress, The first act, to one unaccustomed to the harsh and grating German tongue, drags rather heavily; and yet even the German, as rendered by Janauschek, rapidly grows upon us till it becomes as musical as the language of Ristori, as, for in- stance, in this sublime passage where the unhappy Queen of Scots speaks of the injustice of her imprisonment:— MARIA, Und wenn ich's Gethan ?” Ich bab’ ea nicht gethan—Jedoch Gesetzt, icb that's—Mylord, tan ualt mich hier Gefangen wider alle Vilkerrechte, Nicht init dem Scuwerte kam ich in dies Land, Ich kam herein als eino Biitende, Das heil’'ge Gasirecht fordernd, in den Arm Der blute: erwandton Kjuigion mich wertond— ‘Und a0 ergrif! mich die Gewalt, bervite Mir Ketton, wo toh Schutz geboitt, Sagt ant Ist mein Gewlasen gegeu dicseo Staat Gevunden?” Hab’ feb Pilichten gogen England? Ela bolily Zwangsrocht ub’ teh wus, da fe Aus diesen Bandeu streve, Macht mit Macht, &e. A splendid piece of queenly dignity and indigna- tion. But when we reach the meeting tn the third act between Mary and Kiizabeth, and the insulting haughtiness aud beartlessnoss of the bloody Hepry's Femoragteis daughter bogies intoferable, then It fs Tat thé ge Of The royal Stuirt carries the house by storm as it finally drives her vanquished torturer rom tne stage -— MARIA (von Zorn 1d, doch mit einer etetn Whrdee Ich habe menschiich, jugeaulich gefehlt— Die Macht verfubrie mich ; ich bab! es-nicht Verheiinlicht und verborgen, falschen sche!

Wwe en dhigees the Mary Stuart of Janauschek was a splendid performance, aud we can say, too, Liat she was well supported by a company of accom- plished artists. Had we the space we should like to speak of them in detail, but it must suflice that In their general excellent acting there were no defects which wecould not overlook, Janauschek will appear to- morrow trp teen time in America) in her admi- rable role of the Second, Empress of Russia, when she will doubtless have @ house even larger in numbers than that of last evening, from the newness of the sulject in these latitudes. WALLACK’S THEATRE.—The week was inaugur- ated at thia house last night by the production of Tom Taylor and Charles Reade's play of “Masks and Faces.” It belongs to that class of playa which re- quires a good cast in order t¢ render it even accept- able to a discriminating audience, and indeed tho cast Inst evening was equal to these requirements, Mr. Fisher in the character of Triplet, a part in which he has already won an enviable distinction, jovested it with all those little touches of art that have ever distinguished his playing of this his great- est representation. In the third act he was particu- larly good. Miss Bytinge’s Peg Woftington was acceptubly rendered. George tiolland made his first appearance for the season, and received, os he invariably does, a genial welcome, He essayed the part of Thomas Quinn, the manager, and ge there 18 very little to do in the role what there is was done iu his own characteristic style. ‘The remainder of the cast was up to the mark, and the manner in which it was put on the was worthy of tue theatre in which it was produced, Tus OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Laat evening Mr. George L. Fox’s comic and spectacular pantomime “Humpty Dumpty” entered upon its thirty-second week re- constructed, enlivened by fresh allusions to current events, and for the first time adding to its original attractions a grand Parisian ballet, ia which Mile. Rita Savgali was supported by Miles. Setti, Kurtz, Pagani, Reimsberg, Madeline Negri, Rosina Negri. and the accompilshed maitre de ballet, Mr. David Costa. Niblo’s Terpsichorean delights have thus been revived at the Olympic. Neville’s new song and chorus, ‘Hurrah for the National Game,” won loud applause from all the base ball players who happened to be present. Clown and Harlequin, Pantaloon and Columbine rejoiced in new and gay costumes. No reconstruction was requisite or pos- sible for the inimitable and mirth provoking es which belongs to Fox alone. This great “comedian and pantomimist” has certainly never been sur- assed in lis impersonation of Clown, Tue trans- ‘ormation scene with which the pantomime con- cludes is extraordinarily brilliant. It ts almost superfluous to say that the theatre was crowded With spectators, all of wuom ceased to wonder at the prolonged success of “Humpty Dumpty,” Long may it wave! Pike’s Orexa Houst—Tus New Drop Currai.— A private view of the new drop curtain painted by Mr. Francesco Angero, of this city, for l’ike’s Opera House was given iast evening at the above establish- ment before a large and select company. The new curtain represents the landing of Columbus in Amer- tea, and is forty-five feet wide by forty-two in length. It is painted in water colora and is unques- tuonably one of the handsomest drop curtaius in this or any other city. The figures are nicely grouped and are somewhat larger than life size, that of Columbus, the central re, bemg seven feet , while some Indians in foregrouns the of the picture, reach the gigantic h ainting is from an original by the Francesco ai ro, and represents Colum- by the oMicers and soldiers we themseives upon t of kissing the hem of the garment of the great discoverer. Several Indians eeu y the foi nd, and their attitudes and the exp! mn of their faces betoken amazement and fright. Columbus ts dressed in a red siaghed tunic and purple doublet and holds in his right hand a sword and in his left the banner of the expedition, which iatter he holds with upturned face and a thankful expt countevance, he takes possession of the country the name of Spain. ‘The painting, with the sia, ception of the heavy sea in the ind, wi her too solid, is pleasing to the eye. t ment in general is excellent and the credit to the artist is proportionate. GenMan SravtT THRATRR.—Mr. Hermann Hen- drichs continues to draw crowded house at the Stadt theatre, Laat night he appeared in one of his most popular characters, that of Goeta von Berlichingen. He is @ robust actor, something after the manner of Forrest, and atiracta much the same sort of audi- onces, With the diiference that his are the German lowery boys and Porrest’s the American. Thougit he has not the classteal or artistic flutsh of many other celebrated actors he has great force and jp really an excellen effective performer. No better evidonce of this is ted than the large and enthu- slustic audieac t the Stadt theatre last night, With the exception of one or two other other per- formers at this theatre ho was not very well eup- ported by the company. However, he is a star, with which the German towery people are well pleased and overiook everything else. PaRK THEATRE, BaookLYN.—“The Red Searf,”’ another sensational contribution from the pen of Augustin Daly, was presented for tie first me at this establishment last evening, before a numerous sudience. Indeed, when the curtain rose but few seats remained unoccupied, and some curiosity ap- peared to be manifested as to what new method of stage murder would be presented. The piece was iilustrative of the Aroostook and New Engiand mill life. Opening with a conversation between Gail Barstow (W. Harris), a new settier in the Aroostook region, and Phil Barrett (F, Chippendale), a shrewd and thrifty Maine farmer, relative to matrimonial subjecta generally, May Harrington (Miss 8. Par- tlagton), the village coquette, appears upon tho scene, fiirting with Harvey Thatcher (J. Little), @ timber cutter and owner of the “Dark Fails” milla, together with being a hardened ruMan. Gali ts, of course, in love with May, Who has also an admirer in the black Thatcher. Being remarkably acute May overhears the rivais in an angry debate and at once thinks Gail tho better of the two, W! yon ‘Thatcher becomes ferocious and aAwears venganve, The wedding day upon which Gali aud May are to be united arrives and attended by a crow fot happy Maan | they are gaily tripping to church, when | ang i reesives an anonymous scroll announcing his dnancial ruin, of in Ss OCTOBER 13, 1868. but eXtenaing a fatnt ho iget pe of resene ff he will mis rine, unknown person to @ very dangerous locality’. out explanation he starts off, but not returning Pideareh, Is instituted, whon the rea scarf given " by May at parting, ‘a4 a token of tidelity is pee. the river , the inference being he was ‘ rowned. Sul juently Thatcher, who had attended he wedding and appeared quite at ease, is observed by May to dig up a bundle of clothes in the wens and \ proceed towards his mill, where Gail was be und and confined, After considerable taunting ‘ail proceeds to execute summary vengeance on ls fettered rival by dragging hin towards his sawing machine, pintoning him to it and setting the wheel in motion. ‘This is the culminating point. The saw rier d nd just when about to make mince fay, of course, appears, screams, stops tho wheels and the captive ts set free. Old Barrett Fushes in, knows the situation at a glance and puts an end to Thatcher with a bullet, and the scene termt- nates without the teeth of the saw seins say particu- lar Semage. ‘There ta an absence of variety in the dia- logue, which, to say the least, is commonplace, while the plot can Bearcely be commended for originality. The characters, however, were well sustained and the piece presented with much smoothness aud regularity, MULITARY INTELLIGENCE, ind Muster of the Fifty-ftth Rect- ment. The Fifty-fittn regiment, N. G, S.N.Y¥., was in- spected and mustered yesterday at '‘tompkins square. ‘The day was very favorable and the attendance at the parade was consequently large. The regiment filed into the square shortly after two o'clock and took up position on the east side, The men looked very well and marched with steadiness. Line hav- ing been formed the usual formalities of a review were gone through with, General Varian, the com- mandant of the Third brigade, of which the Fifty- fifth is a part, was present on the ground with his slau’ and a number of oficers of the National Guard. As at the inspections of last week, which were fully described im the HgRaLD, Brigadier General Henry Liebenau was the reviewing ofcer, and Major 0. M. Wentworth inspected and mustered the regiment. Colonel Le Gal and Major Goldsmith were absent and Lieutenant Colonel W. B. Allen, who commanded , was the only fleld oMcer present, Under these clreummances @ ciose criticism on the manceuvres of the regiment would be scarcely fair. It may, however, be stated that the line oficers were negligent in their duties. The salutes in the march past were not given more correctly than those of the oilicers of the regiments tuspectsd last week, and many mistakes were maie, for which no excuse can be offered. The warker placed on the right fank of the regiment had to get out of the way of the advancing column, the head of which went tilt against him. | The march past, however, was not bad, and the fMicers and meth Pye nioté n to congratulate thetuselved on yesterday's parade, Mn tO feel discouraged. ith careful train- ug in the armory during the coming winter, and voper instruction of non-commissioned oticers, the ifty-ifth thay reasonably expect to gain a name in the brigade for discipline and drill. ‘Yhe muster of the regiment’showed 825 rank and file present on the ground. The ceremonies were brought to a close by a general review in honor of the inspecting officer, and the regiment soon after Inspecti | marched from the square, First Lieutenant Maurer acted as adjutant during the ceremonies of review and inspection. The Fifty-fi{th is the sixth and last regiment of the ‘Third brigade inspected. The total strength of the brigade present at muster and inspection was 2,024, as follows:—The Firat infantry, 263; the Seventh, 678; the Kighth, 407; the Ninth, 392; tho Thirty- seventh, 263; and the Fifty-fifth, 325.
