New York Alumni Association Dinner. Yale College, whose sons are to be found in all sections of the habitable globe, filling every profes- sion, and, through the magic of their well trained and disciplined intellects, exercising a controlling force upon the world’s development and progress, has quite a numerous family in our metropolitan city. For the twofold purpose of a distinctive name, New York being their local habitation, and to keep still brightiy burning the fra- ternal fires of friendship engendered in college the graduates resident here “have formed a “New York Yale Alumni Association,” comprising about 250 members. This association had its first dinner last evening at Delmonico’s, corner of Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street. Such a large and pleasantly social and highly cultivated and intelligent company rarely sat down to dinner. Under the cunning handicraft of that imperial cuisinist and proud prince of potables, Delmonico, the dinner and drinks came up to the highest mark of excellence, Substantially agreeable as these two most enjoyable combinations were, ey were nothing to the intellectual feast that followed. Wm. M.-Evarts, Attorney General of the United States, presided. On his it he was su) by President Woolsey, of Yale College, and on his left by Mr. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph.

The flagship Franklin, which has been for some time past refitting at this port, left the Navy Yard on Thursday morning and was towed as far as the Battery, opposite which she cast anchor shortly after noon. During the afternoon and late into the even- ing she was engaged coaling, and the public were not, consequently, allowed to visit her.

AUSTION SALE OF LIQUORS, ‘There was an auction sale of wines, liquors, cham- pagne, cigars, &c., at 13 Bowery yesterday which was perhaps the finest opportunity for tasting and smelling that has been offered the Bohemians since their crusade against corner groceries was inaugu- rated, Standing round a number of barrels of strong-smelling stuff were a number of bottle-nosea democrats, each with a glass of fluid in his hand, whose principal business it seemed to be to prove by actual experiment the real force and value of the diferent brands of malt and corn; while the auctioneer, a ruabicund, joliy specimen of the craft, himself on the top of a barrel and eyed, with # peculiar leer, the doings of the crowd, The number of bona fide buyers was exceedingly small, but then the auctioneer had § seoay creme connoisseurs to deciaim to.

Grand Opera Hovss.—Substantial proof of the sincere appreciation in which Mile. irma ta heid was fully evidenced last night, when the Grand Opera House was crammed to 113 utmost capacity on the oc- casion of her first benefit in this city. Abenefit night will ever test the true popularity of any artist, and therefore when such a spacious and magnificent establishment a3 the Grand Opera House was crowded to overflowing for the special emolu- ment of Mile. Irma the inference is clear and decisive. A perfect ovation was cordially tendered to that distinguished comedienne, and to say the least she richly merited the unanimous approbation which was bestowed upon her efforts, for never per- haps on any previous oceasion did she so distin- gush herself, “La Périchole” was as usual ad- mirably performed, and throughout the encores were very frequent. {t is needless to say that organization of artists came off yesterday afternoon at the Academy of Music. There was in attendance @ brilliant and critical audience, which completely filled the establishment, and from which the success- ful and admirable rendering of the different passages and movements received rapturous ae The themes rehearsed were Mendelssohn’s symphony, “The Reformat ” in four movements, two move- ments of Schubert’s unfinished Bed ged and the overture to “‘Leonore.” So proficient were the cen- tury of artists in their various parts that not more the entire reiiearsal aid the practised ear of the leader, Carl in, detect errors which necessitated correction. The entire performance was most successfully carried out, and the coming concert may, therefore, safely be expected to be one of more than ordinary merit. HOOLEY's OPERA House, BROOKLYN.—As usual there was an overflowing and mirthful house at Hooley’s minstrel and burlesque entertainment last evening, who bore the strongest testimony to their keen appreciation of the efforts of his excellent troupe to amuse their patrons. ‘‘After Dark” is an extremely funny imitation of the representation of that drama, and no one who has ever seen the original can fail to enjoy it. The hits are nu- merous et atng while the stage appointments and scenery are in keeping therewith. ‘The ininita- ble comic Dutch comedian, Joe Emmett, in Lingard’s travestie, still holds a hugh place in the opin- ions of the Brooklynites.
