SL LECTUP 4s LAST NIGHT. juman Body, Comparative Organs, &c.” The plat- ‘of the hall presented a seeming chamber of herrers, from the nomber of skeletons and clastic models which the Professor travels with and ex- bubits iMlustration of his subjects, These elastic models ganic structures—the heart, arteries and veins, the ‘Organs of nutrition, nervous and muscular system, 4c. Each model is divisable into a number of pieces accurately resembling the vital organs respectively, nd every structure occupies its relative position in the body when returned to its proper place within the model, With the aid of these modeis Dr. Lemer- Cter illustrated his subject and explained, though in very imperfect English, all the workings of the hu- man structure with a readiness and savoir fate that frequently gained for him the applause of his andt- ence, However grim and unattractive the subject, rendered outwardiy the more so from the repulsive Jooktng objects on the piatform—a horrible array of skeletons and painted modeis—the pleasant and at times Lumorous style of (he lecturer excited the mer- riment of his hearers—at all umes secured their earnest attention. In opening he said it would be very dificult for him, unless assisted by his elastic models, whicn he claimed to be the best of the kind in the world, opularly convey his ideas. With them to as: oped to be able to entertain and instruct his ence on the most unportant subject that could be treated of before intelligent people—“The human body, comparative organs, &¢.’? He then proceeded first to descrive the celiular and faity tissues of the body lying just beneath the skin, ‘These, he said, were more abundant in woman than in man, and this was one of the causes tiat made their out- ward form more agreeable and pleasant to the eye. ‘The bones, he said, were the hardest organs to be seen in our bodies. Tue movements and functions of the bones were not simuar. The bone Was composed of two substances; one external and the other interaal—the latter gelatenous and soft. In children the gelatenous part was softer and the bones more flexible, while in older persons the bones are harder, more brittle and more easily brokea. The bones were connected by fibres and legaments. ‘The bones are not immediately jomed; there were calelagenous tissues, and when motion took place they moved in joints, The important connection was articulation, or a sort of oil to make motion easy. The muscles were generally called flesh in the human beasts it was called the lean. ‘When @ muscle is cut there will be scen minute fibres connected with articulate tissue, These are elastic and attached by their extremities to different bones and by their contractions they move the body. No motion takes mace without muscle, and when place there is consequently no motion, The lecturer exhibited the glands, the lymplatic veasels situated everywhere on the body to convey the lymph and propel it into the veins to become mixed with the veinous blood. The spinal cord was then exhibited and explained in its con- nection with its functions with the nervous systein and our wants. The glands which secrete the several juices were then shown up and the nutri- tive functions explained. The nutitive glands were situated in the abdomenal cavity and performed most important functions. The muscles of the shoulders were then treated of, showing their action and how they were necessary to the motion of the body. A learned dissertation was then entered upon explanatory of the different action of the muscies in animals and men, illustrated in a model of a pigion. ‘This .nrored: that the strength of the ly depend not only on the nervous sys- tem but on the muscies. Some people appear strong while in reality they were weak, for beneath the skin were cellular tissues instead of muscies. ‘This was good for those who fasted occasionally, as the celialar tissues supplied them with sirengtn, Exercise wa3 the most necessary operation to heaith, and to have a weil developed leg people must dance. Exercise changed materially the primitive structure of the frame of children, and the ‘weakest and most delicate children were often made strong and hardy from eee exercise. The Pro- Jessor then proceeded to take one of his human mo- dels to pi 1m @ Way most wonderful to behold, exhibiting the stomach and intestinal organs and discanting as he proceeded upon the peculiar working of tue various organs and their iunctions. He ex- hibited the three principal organs of the human sys- tem—the heart, situated in the chest; on each side of the heart are the lungs or breathing organs; un- der these lie the diaphram or partition, situated be- tween the organs of the chest and the abdominal cavity, Here also are situated the stomach and liver, the latter for secreting the lime juice, or the reservoir for the bile juice secreted by the liver. A section of a human head was then exhibited, and the action of the — in the act of taxing food; the lungs, or gullet, the eppigiotis, &c. ‘Ihe act or process of mastication was then de- geribed, On this subject the Professor caused much amusement among his audience describing the pro- perties of the different kinds of bread. lie said, re- lerring to the secretive models, that brown bread ‘was the healthiest for use. Dogs that had been fed for forty days on white bread alone had died at the end of that time, while cogs fed for the same time on brown bread had lived, and were healthy, too. The Professor sald it was not beefsteak we want, but brown bread. The lecturer went at great length to the functions performed by the different sets of juscies throughout the human irame, illustrating each minutia and branch of his subject by dissecting the model before him, with a clearness and a full- ness that gageced the attention and kept alive the interest of audience on the subject to the end. At the close Dr. Lemercier was warmly applauded. The Creation—Lecture by Professor Doremus. Last evening Professor R. Ogden Doremus deliv- ered the first of a course of four lectures at Lyric Hall, Sixth avenue, near Forty-second street, in aid of the Emanuel chapel. The hall was crowded by an appreciative audience. A temporary laboratory was constructed on the stage for the purpose of illustrat- ing the lectures, which, of course, added much to the terest and value of the lecture. The subject of the lecture was, ‘The Creation, according to Chem- istry, Geology and Astronomy, as Compared with the Mosaic Record.’’ The lecturer commenced by referring to certain great laws respecting the earth’s surface which have been clearly established by geoiogists, such as that the earth revolves at a speed of a thousand miles an hour. It was also believed that the earth, though crusted upon its surface, was liquid by the force of heat, The chemists would assert that our earth originally was not solid or liquid, but even assumed a gaseous form. It was the tri- umph of modern science that by the employment of dense heat solid bodies could be liquified and turned to gases. Gaseous bodies, with very few exceptions, could be turned into liquids and into solids, The laughing and other gas could be liquified, and car- bonic and sulphurous gases could be made compact st, ee a aa eee they were similar to the solids of the earth. Professor Doremus, assisted by two itle- men, then gave a series of brilliant experiments to show keenly oe have variations of color and of weight and have certain chemical affinities. These itive demonstrations were appre claimed that the audience.

His subject was life at Saratoga, who go there, the fashions, the medicinal waters and the adventures of a gentle- man (Mr. De Cordova), who was not in search of even health, and who, although advised by his phy- siclan, au estimable man, on the plea of his having overworked his brain, needed relaxation, recupera- ton and the waters, flatly refused to leave the city. He was, however, not suftleiently explicit in his declination to his medical friend, and it soon be- caine bruited abroad that he was not only going to Saratoga, but to England, to Russia, to the Mediter- rancan, and, finally, to China, Mr. De Cordova, however, was not to be moved by the ramors which his quondam associates put afloat. It was matter of no doubt whatever in his mind as to the place of is abode during the fashionapie season. Unfortunately, w! in this frame of mind, and while taking his usual afternoon saunter in Broad- way, he met the dearest, sweetest, prettiest little woinan, with deep, entreating, lovable blue eyes, it had ever been his good fortune to know. This little woman—who, by. the way, was of Ger- man extraction and could “sbeaks der Englis goots,”” on perceiving Mr. De Cordova was 80 re- joiced that she clasped her hands in ecstacy, looked mildly at the heavens and then magnetically at her friend, which last act set bis heart thumping at a terribie rate against his waistcoat. The little lady, when their greetings were over, stated that she had been married for six months or thereabout to a very nice Ian—a very good man, one John Spratt, but that he was absent from his home in Forty-sixth street nearly ail the time, at the water cures and other places noted for the reception of the sick; and she was so giad that he, Mr. De Cordova, was about to start for Saratoga. Her poor, sick husband was there, and she desired to go to and nurse him; and therefore begged that he, Mr. De Cordova, would escort her to the boat, and so on to Saratoga. Mr. De Cordova being human, and Mrs. Spratt’s eyes being of a heavenly biue and so full of entreaty, that his stern resolution, in detiance of the doctor's advice and the officious gossip of his friends, melted, evanished. His eagerness was now to see, to accom- any the disconsolate one to the side of her sick usband. He purchased tickets for staterooma on the St. John steamer for the next night. On the day succeeding the interview on Broadway Mr. De Cor- dova obtained a carriage and hastened to the resi- dence of Mra. Spratt, at which place he arrived at recisely half-past four o’clock P. M., in time the Mm prepared to start; but he found the hall filled with trunks and boxes and Mrs. Spratt at the head of the stairs talking in a voice and witn @ manner totally changed from those at the street interview and which so thawed his determination not to leave town. On perceiving Mr. De Cordova the lady called on him to come up and heip her pack a large trunk, demanding that he should stand upon it and so compel the refractory lid—between which and the receptacle there were garments enough to fill two such boxes—to meet the and thus enable the maid to lock it. With much humor the lecturer described the tribulation in which by thus blindly plunging into chaos he placed himself. At length, with a back almost broken, caused by his assist- ing the carmaa to place the cumbrous con- cern on the vehicle, he ended his labora by inadvertently ag ys Os @ flat-topped box, which procured for @ scolding irom the now irate Mrs. Spratt. At length the: and found tnemseives at the foot in time to see the heights of Weehawken. the cause of their disappointment lay entirely with Mr. De Cordova, because he did not call for them at three instead of half-past four P. M. It was arranged, however, that they should start by the next r- noon’s boat—the Duniel Drew. In the meantime at juoddy, this she writes to De Cordova, entreatia| however, to proceed to Saratoga, and husband should be there to be hb her without delay; and further, that there might be no difficulty in his finding him, enclosed a carte de visite of a large, heavy, dark skinned, black haired and wiheget gentleman. On way up De Cordova becomes acquainted ‘wits a red haired and red whiskered personage, who succeeds in swindling him, under pretence of t fatigue, out of his stateroom. This individual ‘ultimately turns out to be John. Spratt, aithough on arriving at the Union Hotel, Saratoga, he vers himself as John Smith. Subsequently a friend of Mrs. Spratt writes to her that her husband is Stopping at the Union, at room 137, which apartment been occupied by John Smith, but wi he generously exchanged, for certain laughabie reasons, for Mr. De Cordova’s, Whose number Was 506. Subsequent to this exci Mrs. Spratt arrives and in the absence of De Cordova takes possession of his premises, under the impression that it was her husband’s—a riotous, good Fetiow, who, pretending indisposition, contin- ually aosented himself from his confiding wife. De Cordova is horrified to find Mrs. 8. in his room and endeavors to explain to her the situation of affairs. He hears Spratt’s step in the corridor, rapidly approaching his apartment, where he had proposed calling and smoking a cigar. Mrs. 8, at lengti 18 prevailed upon, while the door is closed and locked, to enter a wardrobe. Spratt and his friend Chippin enter. The wardrobe is exceedingly dusty, Mrs. 5. sneezes, bursts open the door, and then comes the denoument. Mr. be Cordova kept his listeners in humor during the delivery of the lecture, and not unfre- quently were there roars of laugater at the odd situ- ations in which the lecturer, in relating his story, placed himself both on land and water in his pro- gress to Saratoga. fHlis advice as to the best manner of acquiring the Grecian bend was admirable, THE NATIONAL GAME, Base Ball Notes. ‘The arrangements for the meeting of the New York State Association to-morrow have been nearly all completed.

A Match for $2,900 Between Lady Thorn and Lucy—Lady Thorn the Winner in ‘Three Straight Heats. ‘The Queen of the Turf has achieved another tri- umph, About @ month ago there was a trotting meeting at the Narraganset Park, near Providence, which was attended by some of the most noted horses of the country, including Lady Thorn and Lucy. At this meeting Lucy and Lady Thorn met together in a race with George Wilkes and Rhode Island. Lucy greatly distinguished herself in this Tace, which was trotted in remarkably quick time, she winning two of the heats in 2:223¢ each. Many thought she ought tohave won the race, and would probably have done so had not her driver been outgeneralled by his opponents. Her performance on that occasion gave her 60 much prestige that her friends deemed her fully equal, if not superior, to Lady Thorn, and that she had a just claim to dispute the title of Queen of the ‘Turf with the Lady. It was thought she had not yet exhibited her utmost speed and was still improving, and that if she was capable of doing what she did do at Narraganset when supposed to be out of con- dition she would perform prodigies when ail was right, As the result of this state of feeling Lady Thorn was challenged for a match of $2,000, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, to come off at the Fashion Course on Monday, the 9th day of Novem- ber. There was a proviso, Lowever, in the agree- ment in favor of Lucy, designating the old stand as the starting point, it being thought that as the stretch was short and somewhat declining it would be in her favor. However, when the match did come oi this advantage was waived by the friends of Lucy, who were quite sanguine of ‘her success, and the race was started from the usual place. When Lucy was brougitt upon the track her appearance indicated the height of condition, but it was quickly evident to the eye of the experienced when she commenced moving that sie was a little too rank and would perhaps show unsteadiness in the race, which her conduct afterwards veritied, She was, however, a great favorite at odds before the scoring, but during its continuance, or as they were gelting away, fell to a level with her adversary. Lady Yhorn has gone through @ hard campaign this season. Previous to yesterday she had trotted fourteen races, in ten of which she was victorious. AS ‘was very natural to expect aiter such a hard season’s work, she was somewhat stale aud seemed to have shortened in her stride, She appeared, how- ever, in most excellent health, Some experts did not like her manner, which they appeared to think indicated a certain degree of bad temper which might be developed during some part of the coatest, while during her scoring she did not exhibit that elasticity of movement which is one of her principal charac- teristics when at perfect ease. She, however, im- proved as the race. progressed, the last half mile of the first heat being trotted three seconds quicker than the first. Alter this improvement became manifest and she had won the first heat a great change took place in her favor amoug the public, aud sporting men were anxious to get on her at two toone. After she liad won the second heat, and it became evident that Lucy must be defeated, the betting was about one hundred to ten on the Lady. Lady Thorn is quite a well bred mare and derives her lasting qualities from the admixture of the Mes- senger and Diomede blood, her races being more remarkable for speed at the finish than at the com- mencement. She has been so frequently described by us that we refrain from further comment on her, Of Lucy we may say that she is not quite so well known and has not been so successful on the turf as her adversary. She is, however, @ mare of extraordinary speed, snd is pretty well bred, her sire being the Bashaw stallion George M. Patchen and her dam a Mi mare. the attendatice at the track was darger than at any time this season, and if better rail facilities had been aiforded the public to reach the course the numbers would have been still eee the day was one of those soft autumnal onessthat never fail to entice pleasure seekers from thelr homes and business, Some had fallen on Sunday night, but it had little effect on the track, which was quite as good as could be expected at this season of the year. Still, it was not so light as in midsummer, ‘and it was unreasonable to suppose that as quick time could be made upon it, Taking everything into consideration the race was a fast one for tie time of year, and has seldom or never been equalled in the month of November. The following are the details of the trot:— THE BETTING BEFORE THE RACE. $160 280 220 150 185 130 100 100 ++ 130 230 200 125 140 110 95 100 THE RACE. First Heat.—After scoring six times—occasioned by the rankness of Lucy, who broke up each time in coming to the score—they were started on even terms. Lucy had the pole, but by a bad break as she reached the turn Lady Thorn took it from her and led two lengths around it. This advantage Lady Thorn increased to the quarter pole, passing that point nearly three lengths in front in thirty-eight and a quarter seconds, ana eeming to labor and step shorter than usual. Lucy acted very unstead, on the homestretch and pulled heavily, making it impossible ior Doble to square her. A8 she ap- roached the half-mile pole, however, she appeared sale, and closed up finely. Lady Thorn led past the half-mile it ope length and a half in 1:15. Going slong the Flushing end Lucy broke up and feil off further, ing with @ rush, she soon overtook , and they swung into the homestreth and head. A most exciting struggle ensued, and every art that the drivers were masters of was put in requisition. Both mares were trotting squarely and doing their best, and as they passed the draw- gate they were yoked, while the pace seemed so equal that to guess who was to be the winner was a puzzler for the spectators. They came nearer and nearer to the stand, and still there was no difference between them. They were now inside the distance stand, and yet they were head and head, when Pfifer by a succession of lifts and shakes brought the old the score a winner by ashort half length.

The United States steam frigate Franklin, late flag- ship of the European squadron, arrived in the Lower Bay last evening, bearing the broad pennant of Admiral Farragut, the hero of the Mississippi and Mobile. The gallant Admiral returns to our shores after an absence of about seventeen months, during which period he has visited the principal ports of the Old World and has been the honored guest of the rulers of the different nations at whose ports he touched. The Queen of Epgland, the King of Denmark, the Emperors of France and Russia and numerous other “princes, dominions, potentates and Powers” have rivaled each other in doing hon- ors to the Admiral of the American navy. The fol- lowing particulars show the manner in which our European squadron was greeted in the principal Ports visted. HOW THE ADMIRAL WAS WELCOMED, The Franklin sailed from this port on June 25, 1867, for France, and arrived at Cherbourg July 22, from whence Admiral Farragut and a number of his officers left by railroad for Paris, In the latter city he received the most distinguished attention. Tne United States Minister, General Dix, gave a séte in his honor, at which a large number of American ladies and gentlemen were present to meet him and gave him @ most cordial and gratifying welcome, On July 29, 1867, Admiral Farragut was received at @ State dinner of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Napoleon. ‘The dinner Wes especially given by the Emperor in honor of the American Admiral. The French Minister of the Marine and other members of the Imperial Cabinet and other distinguished per- sons were among the invited guests, From Paris the Admiral rejoined his ship at Cher- bourg en route for St. Petersburg. On the 30th of July, 1867, Admiral Farragut sailed in the Franklin from Cherbourg, accompanied by the corvettes Frolic and Canandaigua, and on the 5th of August was off Nyborg, on the coast of Deamark. The Admiral was received in the most enthu- siastic manner on his arrival at Cronstadt on the 10th of August. On the 16th Admiral Farragut and staff were presented to the Grand Duke Con- stantine, who had hurried from the south of Europe with the express purpose of doing the honcrs to the American fleet. The Grand Duke, accompanied by the Russian Minister of Marine and @ brilliant staff of naval and military oMicers, paid an official visit to the Franklin a few days after her arrival, and on the 16th of August Admiral Farragut and the commanding oMicers of the United States squadron dined with the Grand Duke at the Livioski Palace. In his official despatch the Admiral says his reception by the Russian authorities, naval and civil, was most gratifying, both nationally and individually. ‘From the time we passed the first vessel we were greeted y cheers and salutes until we anchored, the harbor being so dense from smoke that we could no longer distinguish where the guns were fired, whether from batteries or ships, the Russians alway taking the initiative. It was one burst of the mot cordial welcome.” 5 On August 30 the Admiral left Cronstadt on an excursion to the Trangsund Road to visit the Rus- sian monitor fleet, commanded by Admiral Popott. On the following day he dined on board the Russian flagship, and on that occasion the complimentary nal was displayed by the Russian commander—“Let us remember the glorious ex- amples of Farragut and his followers at New Orleans and Mobile.” On the 1st of September the Admiral “proceeded to sea, and on the 3d anchored with the ent off Waxolm, below the city of Stockholm. The arrival of the squadron having been tele- carne to the city, the Swedish naval au- orities at once pl @ swift and com- modious gunboat at the disposition of the Ad- miral. The Swedish naval amthorities paid an oMicial visit to the Franklin and cordially weicomea the Admiral. On the ensuing Friday the Admiral ‘was presented to the King, and after the reception had the honor of dining with the royal family. On the 17th the Adiniral gave a reception on board the Franklin to the diplomatic corps, the officers of the ony and navy, and a large number of distinguished guests, The United States European squadron anchored off Copenhagen on the 138th of October and was saluted by the Danish fleet and batteries. The Danish Minister of Marine tendered the Admiral all possibie courtesy, as well as the warmest hospitality. On the following Thursday the commanding gofticers of the American squadron were presented at court, and in the evel dined with his Majesty, the King mark and his two sons—Frederick, the Crown Prince and George, King of Greece.

A lew hours after his arrival the Lords Commis- sioners of the fey sent @ telegram Admiral Farragut, stating that they would be hap} to render every assistance and attention to the American squadron.

A BROADWAY THEATRE.—Last night was presented at this theatre Giacometti’s tragedy of ‘Marie Antoinette,” with Mrs, F, W. Lander in thy leading part. The play is already familiar to many of our most critical theatre goers through the in- terpretation of Ristori’s genius, and as a conse- quence the appearance of Mrs. Lander—America’s tragedy queen—was an event of considerable interest in the higher circles of art and attracted a select and critical audience. Thus announced and thus greeted, Mrs. Lander’s success was neverthe- less complete. The piece is admirably suited to a fine display of her earnest, intense acting, present- ing the last scenes in the life of the Queen of France, commencing with the rude interruption of the inno- cent masquerading at Trianon; succeeding days and nights of travall, sorrow, suffering, act Hey and misery; her flight, arrest and imprisonment; the in- sults heaped upon her by an riated populsces Louis’ separation from her; the Dauphin torn from her side; her own and bona final journey to the guillotine. The r feelings, instincts and emotions born of these led experiences were por- trayed hy Mrs. Lander with a faithtuiness, judgment, skill and artistic expression that throughout the entire piece held the audience in sympathetic accord, movi them alike to pain or scorn, sorrow or in tion, a8 like the shifting lights and shadows of a summer's day, when fleecy clouds chase each other in mad has! across the sun’s path, the soul of Marie Antoinette was vathed in grief and her heart pierced with awe. or the Queen resented the contumely and insolence of her detractors and oppressors and rebelied against their decrees. ‘0 _particularize any porcion of the rendition would be invidious to the rest in its entirety. It was a Lg mere A single instance will show the character of this iin- f oehe gagee a ‘When the royal party, arrested in their light, were threatened with mob violence at Va- Fert we noo men and women armed with Knives, hatchets and other weapons surrounded tliem, heap- ing opprobrious names upon and denouncing her as a foreigner, she pleaded with them that as they were fathers, mothers and sons of France, so she as wife and mother was, too, a Frenchwoman, and the uplifted arm raised to strike, fell powerless before her tender utterance, and tears coursed down the cheeks of those who had most reviled her, many a glazed eye among her audit acknowledged the wer AY a vo — is bag oo e wi er husban and child, a Preathites stillness told how wrought upon were the f those ol who witnessed it. Apart from this the piece was werfully cast, and presented a stronger array of rst class talent, judiciously distributed, than is fre- (ead on the stage now. Mr. J. H. lor, as Louis VL, was high-toned, dignified and impassioned ; Mr. G. Becks, as Duke de Langan, # very prince of courtiers, silken m speech and manner while the sun of prosperity shone, but a vrave gentleman of France in the hour of danger; Mr. J. Carden, as the Marquis de Lafayette, gave a fine interpretation to the characier of the rough, honest soldier, with the biuntness and directness of the bivouac in his manner, so the citizen General San- terre, Mr. Jack, coarse as became his origin. Mra. D. Myron was a true Mine, Elizabeth, Mrs. Skerrevt a loving, faithful Lamballe, while the remainder, in thelr several rdles, completed a cl historic picture. Great care was evident in the costumes and scenery, and, taken as a whole, no more com- plete performance has ever been given in this city. NiBLO’s GARDEN—MR&S. BOWERS AS QUEEN ELIZA- Burn.—A piece of really superb acting—acting which thrilled through the nerves of the audience, which brought men and women boit upright in their seats, entranced almost with its flerce yet evidently truthful intensity, and which kept them bound for some seconds after the curtain feil—was the delinea- tion by Mra. D. P. Bowers of the capricious and petulant Queen Elizabeth last evening. In the early portions of the play Mrs. Bowers was at times rather too deliberative and recitative in her speaking. She was especially 80 at the time she was hurrying the messenger to stop the execution of the Earl of Essex. Although the speech is constructed for e&ceeding haste, the lady apparently sought more to give a clear and cor- rect enunciation than to depict by word and action the intense, hot haste with which she wished to de- spatch the courier to save the life of her dooined favorite. In the last act, however, and particularly in the struggle agatnst a prea dissolution, she Was supremel ‘and. ith the e: ion noted above Mrs, wers’ portraiture of Elizabeth's sudden flashes of hamor, of her manner of finding fault with those who obeyed her a8 well as with those who disobeyat her; of ughty, arrogant, self-confident d. tion and the extremes of feeling which could animate her at the same moment (shown in the dictation of the two letters, one asking @nd the other com. manding), stamp her one of the most finished actresses of the day. The support accorded iretty goon The mem- her was generally pt bers of the company, aaa might improve e somewhat and with Mr. McCollum, who made a very Essex, m in from heaving entire body from his knees to his throat, after his long, deflant speec' and could 4) a8 much weight to his words by depending on lungs without rising up on pis toes when about speak. Mr. Mordaunt was Very good as Bur- especially a8 an old man. Mr. __ was entirely too stagey as James VI., and Mr. as Davidson, was rather too paring of Barry, as the Marauis de Mendoza, was by farthe most natural in bis among the mates. The ladies of the —— eadames: Bontfi Stoddard and Scott—had little to do or ay, they did all that could be expected. The piece was pretty well mounted, but ft looked rather out of keeping to have Elizabeth gaze at herself in @ Seventy-five cent mahogany backed hand glass, Gilt paper and peste are cheap euough to improve that portion of the Of the erat the less the better; but they ed such varied service that might to hang up until the mad color faded out and buttons dropped of.

STApr TasaTRe.—Those of our German popula. tion who failed to attend the production of “Adrienne Lecouvreur”’ at this place last night have cause for deep regret. And it may be regrettingly told that many of the asual German playgoers did not/appear last evening, tho best seats in the balcony and the rquet being without occupants. This is a sad lame on the Germans, for when such an actress ag Auguste do cndort (Baroness de ;Schujtz) is prevented to them oer, Seioving individual of em should not miss Opportunity to see her, And then the whole company, with one singe exception, did its best—better than for some time— to aagist tho distinguished artist, and the only ex- ception was the Abbé, who, in bis acting, repre. sented more the clown of a modern cireus than the hadttué of court society, Adrienne (Mme, de Bacrn dorf) was One Of tie best persouatious of this ride seen on the New York stage: nartlen'arly tn the doe- la.nation scene she was wWuly groat, t.oucn lacking ‘the plastic naturalness, in sore few passages, wiieh distinguish others of equal renown. The Mises Singer and Schermanp a3 the Prinvess Bouilon and the Duchesse Audemont, Mr. Jenderacy as Marsal Saxe, Mr. Coliuner as Michonnet, and Mr. Dom- brousky as Prince Boutlon, are also entijled to praise, the latter especialiy, for he was a sngar- coated uincompoop of good society to periection. APOLLO HaLL—Tap BUBNETT-TAYLOR ComBina- TION.—The entertainments now belng presented at Apollo Hall afford the opportunity to all who aro desirous of witnessing the performance in a single evening of two of the greatest and most talented character actors that ever sect a house in an uproar of laughter, or sent away an audience in that mer- Tiest of moods which every one experiences who has any appreciation of sparkling wit, facial comicalities and genuine humor, Alf. Burnett in his scene of “Caudle at Home” 1s unquestionably one of the finest comic delineators ever seen on any stage, and being well supported by a good actress—Miss Nash, as Caudie—is enabled to display his abilities to the best advantage. In fact, it is a rare occurrence that two layers can, alone, go engross the attention of and amuse an audience a8 not to allow the interest and enjoyment of their acting to tag fora moment. No one gets weary of the Caudle entertainment; everybody laughs all through it and appiauds at its ‘close, James Taylor is wonderful in his impersonations of grotesque and caricature mimicries of the ‘York- shire er,” the “Modern Swell’ and other rep- resentations. He is the only real India rubber faced man in the world, and makes good use of his re- markable faculty of contortion. Sharpley’s periorm- ance on the concertina was very good, and if he would only piay more varied music he would undoubtedly be a favorite. Sentimental music 1s well adapted to this instrument, buf marches and other majestic pieces have a splendid effect on the concertina, As a whole, however, the entertainment is well worth hearing, and cannot fail to become popular when the public become more familiar with it. PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—Outside attractions, and they have been numerous this season in Brook- lyf, do not, it would seem, materially affect the financial success of this neat little theatre under the experienced and competent management of Mrs. F. B. Conway. Last evening Mwder’s new drama- tization, from the novel called “Ouida, or Under Two Flags,” entitled ‘Cigarette, or the Little Leo~ pard of France,” was produced for the first time im that city, at the Park theatre, before a large audience, The piece, which is similar to that of “fhe Fire Fly” in many respects, is replete with thrilling tableaux and has several very etfective points, ‘which were well received and ‘justly ap- plauded. There is, however, a laxity in the manner in which the thread of the play 18 woven, which makes it decidedly diiicuit for one who 1 nog conversant with the plot to comprehend it correctly. But, notwithstanding this serious defect, it will com- pare favorably with the major portion of the locak sensational dramas of the day, aud as it 1s put upo! the boards at this house tn the hands of a superio company cannot fall to elicit a due share of appreci- ation inthe respects above mentioned. ‘the lively, and vivacious little star, Miss Emma Maddern, fon whom it was specially written, appeared to utmost advantage in the character of Cigarette—a 16% which iS admirably adapted to her. The rincipal male character, that of Bertie Cecil, or ouis Victor, &@ corporal of Chasseurs SATs and was very well personated by Mr. W. Harris, who, an actor of fine stage appearance, and always well up in his has become a favorite with tha habitués of the Park theatre, Miss Ella Wren, at Lady Venetia Carona; J. Z. Little, Colonel of Uhas- seurs; ©. Burroughs, A. Queen and others of the cast, each performed their respective parts in am acceptable manner. There was, a3 might be exe pected on the first night, some apparently unneces- sary delay in the scene shifting; but this will, doubtless, be corrected. Generally speaking the new drama ran smoothly, and will repay such as purpose witnessing its performance. It will be continued each evening during the present week. Promenade Concert of the Twenty-third Regiment. Military concerts, parades and promenades had ever an attraction for the young and fair; but the war for the Union, which developed the patriotism: and valor of the young men of the North, made mili« tary displays more attractive still, ‘ike “tinkling cymbal and the sounding drum” of those who bore arms in the cause of their country haJ an eloquent echo in the hearts of the people; the uniform of the Union was held in honor, and martial music of loyab libretto was the favorite in concert and drawing room. However politicians may boast of the decay of martial spirit in our people since the close of the late war, it cannot be disputed that military dis- plays have still @ great attraction, not only for the multitude, but for the fashionable and select, For the gentler sex there can be uo greater inducement offered than aconcertor ball held under the auspices of a regiment of established reputa.ion. Their bearts Se while their ears druak in the martial strains, and their eyes sparkle in presence of retlecting color aud spari forins. ‘The fortunate thousand who crowded the Brooklyn a Music last night to Listen to the ravish- ing sti of the well-trained band of the eee third regunent, and to icipute 10 te prom and alter festivities, 1uliy dewoustrated tae force these observations, Beneath chandeliers which threw a@ flood of light on the maguiiicent decora- tions of the capacious bailrovw, and while chords of suggestive music stirred the heart and brought color to the cueek the eyes of the ladies who had honored the convert with their presence flushed in pieusure, it was felt by all that the splendid regiment wi.ch gave the entertainment was fully deserving of ait honor and recognition. On every former occasion It had en- deavored to surpass previous eifurts; incoming com< muviees tried to excel their predecessors iu dexterous management, and in the matter of decorations every aid was sought to make good betier. die executive committee of the promenade concert last uight were Colonel Rodney C, Ward, Captain D. W. Van Ingea, Captain A. J. Metz, Captain Wiiuam i. Bunker am Lieutenant W. H. Bourdette. ‘The reception com- mittee was composed as tollows:—Lieutenant Colo- nel S. H. Farnham, Surgeon a. ). Wiison, Captain ©. R, Goldthwaite, Charies iH. Joy, A. Elmendorf, James «i. Gregory, M. ©. Ogden aid James £. Webb. ‘The executive committee wore a waite and the re- ception committee a red badge. ‘ou say that they fully justified the trust reposed in them by the regiment would be simple justice. Hat they deserve great praise for the Manner in which they discharged their duty. ‘The decorations of the ballroom, put ap under the superintendence of Mr. Timmany. of Wallack’s thea- tre, Were tasteful and appropriate. Tue walls were decorated with national and Stave Dags, and in the centre of the room riles and bayonets were arranged in & manner at once beautiful and orignal, The en- tire (owc ensemble of the ballroom was chaste and elegant; there was nothing bare or wearying wo the eye aud the general effect was exce\.ent, Shortly alter eignt o'clock the company began to arrive, The officers of tue Navy Yara, naval and marine, with thetr ladies, were tue ‘rst to enter the room and were escoried to their places by members of the reception committee, Adjutant General Mars vin, General Liebenau and Genera chelor, of Governor Fenton's stat, next appe: |, and were soon followed by @ host of ofice:s of tue National ‘Kling unt- Guard of New York and broukiya. A large nuain- ber of distinguished genticiuen, with their ladies, entered at the same time, and the splendid bafroom of the Academy prevented a most brilliant appearance. ‘The glitiering unorms of the oiicers coutrastea with the gay colors of the ladies’ dresses; the brilliant light showed diamonds on many & fair breast, while bright eyes spoke eio- quently. ‘The directors of the band were M. Papst and Q. Conierno. The different pieces performed, which comprised selections from Wagner, ‘i homas, Weber, Strauss, Offenbach, Wallace, Michaelis, Hennan, Weingarten, Mente, Wiegand, Bratan and Herman, with a quickstep by Conterno ant a galop by Dela- mere, of the Twenty-third, were rendered in a man- ner that reflected the highest credit on the directors and the band itself. The concert was highly success- ful and the brilliant audience fully appreciated the excellence of the music, ‘The ball, which followed the concert, was splendidly conducted and will long i remembered by those who were present to en- iy Atan be peared hour the company sat down to a supper of erche character, r which the company “chased the golden hours with flying feet’? ‘until Night lifted her curtain and Day broke ou the City of Churches.
