AMUSEMENTS. Miss KELLOGG 48 ZERLINA IN FRA DIAVOLO.— Auber, the celebrated composer of “Fra Diavolo,” recently spent the evening of his eighty-seventh birthday at a ball in the Hotel de Ville in Paris, He sul trequents the opera, although 1t 1s said that he Osually falls asleep during the early part of each performance, waking up refreshed in time to ap- Plaud vigorously the last act. If he could have been present at the farewell matinée of Miss Kellogg, yes- terday, we are confident that he would have kept wide awake wheneva: this favorite American prima douna appeared upon the stage in the character of Zerlina, the pretty and true-hearted daughter of the per Matteo, Auber would have heartily pe pluuded Miss Kellogg’s singiag of Guardalo sul! rood, in the se in the second, as well first act, aud of domani, as her fine acting throughout tie entire opera and particularly while Zerlina earnestly and unxiousiy protested against the il] founded suspicions of her rer, Lorenzo, in the third act. We have solateyy detailed the features ef Miss Relinan's charuing impersonation of Zeriina: that it would be superfluous now to repeat whac we have sald in prase cf it. Suflice it to add that her admirers in New York, de.ermined no: to be outdone by her admirers in Brooklyn, gave Miss Kellogs apart an ovation of which any artist might well proud. During the operatic engagement which she has thus triumphantly finished Miss Kellogg has sung in “aust,” “1a ‘Traviata,’ “Don Giovanni? and ‘Fra Diagvo.o The crowded houses she has drawn at cach of her appeurances attest not only her great personal popularity, vur also use readiness of our pabile to welcome tuat revival of opera which~ can be expected only from a combination of the Wiseat and most liveral management and o! tue highest artistic talent; Let us hope saguinst hope that such a combinauon will yet be wade. Boora’s THEATRE.—This handsome establishment was well filled last evening with an appreciative and fashionable audience, the occasion being the firat representatioa in this city during the present season of Charles Selby’s romantic play of ‘Tho Marble Heart.” Mr. Edwin Adanis sustained the part of Raphael Duchaiet, the young love-mad sculptor, and Miss Fanny Morant that of Mademoi- pelle Marco, the cold, tr.tiing coquette with the marble heart. toth acted ther a superbly and were re rewarded wtih the hearty plaudits of their audience. ‘The piece was exceedingly well mounted, and the cast of cuaracters, with the excep- ‘tion of a few of the infnor ones, Was excelient. Mr, Lawior, as \olage, the editor of the Magic Lani anu Mr, Piion, a4 Mr. Veaudore, the rich ‘out bi Parisian, bein; pardenlany good ip shew several rovex, Each of these gent.emen ably supported Mr. Adams, and by their careful and clever acting contributed in no sinall degree to the smooth- ness and success of the piece. At the end of the fourth act Mr. Adams and Miss Morant were both twice recalled before the curtain, atid each time they ‘were made the age arr 1 quite a flattering ova- tion at the hands of thetr enthustastic admirers, Bevoud a doubt, “The Adams’ Nights” at Booth’s theatre are both a feature and attraction. Masicai and Theatrical Notes. During the Lenten season, which has just drawn to a close, the wholesome exhortations of pious parsons and the abnegations of our piousiy-inclined citizens have had a direct and powerful influence upon the theatres of this city. Slim audiences have been the rule during the past month, and more espe- crally during the past week, at most of the gorgeous temples where Meipomene and Momas hold away, while the beautitul temples dedicated to the worship of the Saviour of mankind have been densely thronged during the same time with devout congregations making atonement for manifold sins of omission and commission, and imploring Divine protection and blessings for the year to come. It was but reasonable to suppo3 that those who had enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ content for one whole year would endeavor tosilence the prickings of their conscience by tn- aulging, during Holy Week at least, in fasting, prayer and good works, as commanded of them by the doctrines of their faith. Our managers, ove and ail, took this into consideration and made no extra- Ordinary effort to fill their’ houses by offering their patrons new inducements in the way of nove'ties, hence the small audiences during the past month at most of our metropolitan theatres. Each, apparently, feserved the forces at lis command for a grand splurge on Easter Monday mgt, aud the result 13a menu of dramatic and inus:cal attrac.ions for to- morrow evening which will be pretiy certain to sat- isfy even the most exacting of p:aygoers. lcVicker’s, in Chicago, has been struck by “A Flash of Lightning.” McKee Kankin, pleasantly remembered here as a promising young —_ comedian, nas turned his talents to ‘Pagins ‘at Wood’s Museum, Chicag», A inanager has been found to jorbid the cancan as not in keeping with the diguity and purity of his stage.

About five o’clock last evening an affray that came near proving fata! occurred on the steamship Ledonia, plying between this port and New Orleans. According to the statement made at the Second pre- cinet station house, a sailor named Thomas Nealson, somewhat intoxicated, came aboafd, and approach- ing the steward, Stephen Jones, demanded dinner. Jones, who is but seventeen years of age, was sitting on @ cask near the galley, with a knife and @ plug of tobacco in his hand. He declined to prepare dinner for the drunken man, when Johes says. Nealson suuck him, knocked him down, and another coming to Nealson’s assistance Jones was being pretty roughly handled. In the affray he cut Nealson witn the knife, he declares accidently. The wounded man ‘was taken to the City Hospital for treatment of his wound, which ts not believed to be dangerous, and Jones was arrested and locked up at the Second Precinct by officer Farrell. Goronor Keenan ata later hour made an investt- gation of the circumstances, examined the wit- nesses, Chief Engineer Lester A. Schofleld, second officer Charles Scott and seaman Otto Ritgue, who ‘were paroled to appear on the return of the vessel from the voyage upon which she departed last night. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THR FIFTH WARD—A NE- GRES3 STABBED At fifteen minutes after ten o’clock last evening ‘Thomas Johuston, a negro employed at No. 4 Fulton street, repaired to the residence of a negro na:ned John Fisher, No. 139 Franklin street, and there met John and his wife Maria. What was the origin of the quarrel is not definitely known to the police, but it had not progressed fur when Johusion seized the woman, and, hurling her upon the bed, raised his hand to deal! her a blow. Fisher, roshing towards him, exclaimed, “Don’t strike h she is my wite.”” Theinfurlated darky immediately turned from the woman and rushed upon Fisher with a drawn knue, which the woman, who rushed in to separate tae mer, recelved in her hand. An ugly wound about four mehes in length, extending down the palm of jury she sustained, J hnston, foiled in his attempt by the piuck of the dusky ‘Maria, fled the house, pursued by Fisher and his wife. He was overtaken on Franklin street and arrested by officer Stagg, of the Fifth precinct, do which the raffian was locked up to auswer tne charge of felonious assault with intent to kill. The assault, ic is said, was prompted by a jealous rivairy between the negroes for the afiections of the female, LIVELY FIGHT IN A SALOON—A MAN HAMME-E0, About ten o’clock last evening Henry Du Shay and @ man named Campbell entered the lMquor store of John White, corner of Hudson and Beach streets, in & semt-intoxicated condition.

ALLEGED FORGERY—A BOY'S FINANCIAL PECULIARI- Yesterday afternoon a boy, who goes by the name of Ciarence Ruther‘ord, presented a certified check, drawn by Devoe & Co. in iavor or Wilham H. Knowlton & Son tor $590 84 on one of the Broaaway banks, at the Union Dime Savings Bank and opened an account, Alter his departure suspicions were arou.ed, Mr. Knowlton was sent for and it was dis- covered that the check had never been fn his pos- session—that the word “order” was changed to “oearer” and his cudorsement placed ou the back. The check had by some means got into the boy's pos- session and he had got it certified to. Detectives Quinn and Casey, of the ight precinct, were sent for, and visited the bank where, later in the day, the account of Clarence Rutherford wa3 drawn against. The draft was seat by a small boy named Henry Kitcher, who, on going out of the baak, was appicached by Rutherford, who was in waiung. The detectives immediateiy arrested Rutherford, who was recog- nized by the bank officials as the pony opening the account, His real nawe 1s James F, Maicom, of No. 22 Vandam street.

Quite a swarm of unsophisticated and unsuspect- ing Germans of both sexes appeared before Judge Hogan. at tne Tombs, yesterday afternoon to enter complaints against a shrewd but dull-looking Itahan giving his name as Anthony Carroll (Antonio Caroillf), who had been arrested by officer Klein, of the Fourteenth precinct, for per- petrating @ number_of swindles by means of bogus checks. His dodge was this :—Carroll would make up his mind to secure posscssion of cer- tain well-paying liquor saloons, grocery stores, cigar and tailor shops and propose to the owners to buy them out, provided that he could obtain immediate Possession, or rather at three o'clock in the after- noon, as that hour suited his financial ideas better than any other. He would then draw his check either on the Fulton Nationat Bank, Mechanics and ' Trad-ra’ or Broadway Bank, at the same time re- presenting that he had money on deposit to meet them. These transactions were invariably consum- mated just after banking hours, so that the truth or falsity of his representations could not be ascer- tained tii the following day, He would then take possession of bie liquor, grocery or tailor store, a6 case might be, keep open and sell ali the goods possible for cash, up to the latest hour, pocket the proceeds, secure the premises and decainp, leaving bis dupes to get their eyes open at leisure, and resume business again after cubtainiug new Keys with wiich to admit them to their stores. Carroll been prac- tising this system of fraud tor several weeks at least, and doubtless his income has been large, particularly as tis expenses were ligit. Tuis game, however, he layed once too often, and fell into the cluiches of e law.

Our London correspondent furnishes us with the following interesting sketch of the late Lord Glasgow, We are all talking at present of the loss the turf has sustained in the death of Lord Glasgow, one of its most generous supporters and truest iriends, and Perbaps even yet we do not realize how great that loss 1a, The old Scotcn peer expired at his family mansion of Hawkhead, Renfrewshire, on Wednesday night, March 10, aiter a painful illness, which latterly leit no hope of his recovery, He had reached even Move than the allotted three score and ten, for he waa born in 1792; but racing folks had become 60 accus- tomed to his tall and gaunt, bat hale, figure aad its queer coverings of biue “swallow tail” with brass buttons, and snowy white pants of nautical dymen- sions, that they could hardly contemplate his having at last to leave them, Fifty yearson the turf 1s, how- ever, a long career, and tt could cause little wonder that he should be more and more missed from his be- loved haunts, and that the famous “crimson and white” should be ouly now and then seen bowling over the Newmarket Heath, or the Knavesmire, or Ascot, Often as has the wildly enthusiastic cry of “Lord Glasgow wins” been raised on every course in England, and generally in vain, the sportsman who has any regard for the welfare of hls pastime will heave a sigh when he remembers that those ever popular colors ‘will be seen no more. The ‘fitful fever" of a racing hfe i3 at length over, and tue hard hit, plucky and indomitable Scotch lord at length sleepa well. He has left us, but hig memory never will, Ilis career is written in the Calendar, His honest, manly character has found a warm place in our hearts, LORD GLASGOW AS A BPORTSMLN. He was destined for a naval life, and carly went to sea, where he attained the rank of commander; but his experiences afloat did little else than add further piquancy to a character sufficiently original, He tried politics too; but nature had never intended him for the Senate, and though for some years he represented Ayrshire la the House of Commons ag Lord Keloorne, he did not gain the family title uptil late ia Itfe. His heart was aiways wath his horses. While yet a Meutenant he became the owner of a sud, and at once dung himself into the excitement of the sport with all the eae his nervous, boid, “dare-cdevil” temperament. Long ago, before the present generation of racing men were “‘breeched,” or even born, he had gamed himself a reputa- tion for the wildest and most reckless feats, At Hawkhead he surrounded litinself with a lot of the choicest spirits in Seotiand, among thea Lord Ken- nedy, the Marquis of Queensberry, Sir James Bos- weil, Sir J. Heron Maxwell and others, whose mad pranks made the “unco guid” hold up their hands in horror, Any one of them would back lis opinion for any conceivable sum, and any one of them could arinx as muca claret as would throw the “twelve bottle’ judges of chose days into the shade. From the first he was a “plunger” of the most advanced type, and soon after joiming the turf he wou £17,000 over Jerry and lost £27,000 over Mamelnke. 50 he went on all nis life, sometimes netting a good stake, gg losing a good-sized fortune per annum, j@ was very partial to matches, and would back anything of his against anything else in the world, though to every one but himself it was evident that be had no chance whatever. He was so singalari: unfortunate that at last the “crimson and white”? was regarded a3 synonymous With *‘coming offsecond best; and uany made capital incomes by regu- Jarly laying odds against him. Yet he got hold of a “good thing” now and then, and not the most blood-sucking o1 beni bye grodged lim his York subscription purse, or his General Peel’s two tnou- sand, or his Raptd Rhone’s defeat of Lord Cifden tor the Claret, or the licking his colt out of Maid of Mosha.n gave Frippanier fortie same stakes. His great ambition was to win the Derby, and he was close upon it- with General Peel in Blair Athio’s ear, and might have taken it with the General's rother thisgseacon, but it was not to bé Win or lose, however, it was all the same tehim; no one ever saw a muscle move, even when he Jost thou- sands and thouzands on @ race; and he was ready to begin ouce more as pluckily as if nothing whatever had happened, HIS CHARACTER AND MASNER. This was one of the strongest features of his com- posite character ; the others were his thorough hon- esty and his kindly heart. He was totally above de- feat; as the French said of us aicer Waterloo, he did not know when he was beaten. He raced for the pure love of the sport, and, if we may believe Adml- Tal Rons, for the advancement of the thoroughbred, He cared nothing for the monetary rewards of the turf, though he loved its honors, and his own “coin’? flew from him witnout a sigh following it. His honor was unimpeachadie, aud in the course of half @ century he never did one action on which a shadow of suspicion could be thrown. Of how many men can the same be said mow, when dukes condescend to “milk” their reprezenta- “pelted ears” keep private touts to baronets are “squaring” handicappera? If be once formed & ‘avorable impression of one of his horses—and his impressions were al wo favor- able—he would back him througa thick and thin, throw down the gauntlet with hin against Seer and run him as straight as au arrow. As for handi- caps, nothing disgusted him more than that his can- didates should be lightly weighted, as that indicated @ mean opinion of them, and in matchmaking, if an epponent offered him twenty-cight pounds, he would exclaim, with great dignity, that he would do well enough with fourteen, He early won his way into the affections of the rank and file of racing folk as well as of men of his own level, and, like Casar’: wite, he was always above suspicion. No colors on the turf were consequently more popuiar than his, and the shouts that rent the air Kaos Keowd were seen in the van were the highest tribute'that could be patd to his honor as @ sportsman. He was withal a most warm-hearted man, although his manner was rough and uncourteous and his expressions characterized more by strength than etegance, It 1 said that ina period of great distress he kept the town of Paisiey out of his own pocket and got into a wheuever the fact was mentioned, and his private benefactions Were moumerable, He could swear “a few,” and ni mn, When roused, Was a wonder to behold; but he was ever ready to forgive; his — deeds in the way of clarity were countless and right hand did not know what his left did. HIS TRAINERS, JOCKEYS AND HORSES, Lord Glasgow, before he had got through one-half of his racing life, had gone the whole round of the trainers, and before its close had performed tue ope- ation several times, If his horses did not wiu he straightway accused the tramer of being unfit for his post or disnonest in his work, cursed tre- mre and, toarowing down o heavy check, changed his quarters at once. When be had gone the rounds he would come back to his first love, until at last the standing joke was that no trainer should go to bed of a night without reflecting that he might be awoke to find Lord Glasgow outside with a hundred horses behind tim and @ £500 check in his hand. So it was with his joekeys, with whom he was always qnarrelling and always making it up. Tom Aldcroft, in particular, was never done getting notice to quit, in the choicest language, beng taken a to the bosom of the Scotcn peer. To his horses he stuck with singular obstinacy, ith standing all the tricks they playea him, and his biind, almost “plg-headed,’! devotion to certain gy curious. Latterly he was moi c and some of his horses, got by t alliances, turned out better. te Lord Log nen ll a THR sanee, eae ress has no particular reason to speak the ‘ier peer; for he a cee well of it, and con- stantly treated tt wita undisguised contempt. It was he who was chi instrumental in getting the Jockey Club to bani “Argus,” of the Morning Fost, from Mewmarket, and when that tal writer to retaliate mildiy he threat ened “live to on his the word, tt that which was actually used mieveuly et in print, They annoyed him most ri y constantiy preaching a crusade against iis bs ful system of leaving his horses without names. He never would name a colt or filly, and the confusion this cansed in the Stud oor t a eng dogs ders in a perfect jungle of “bi our ot Tatsters to that is quite incalculable, All the complaints of the all the quips and cranks of his friends could not get him rid of this habit. As “the Drald” gays, “haif the —— at the clu! when Lord Derby ied the reves, with the Earl ol 8 General Pecl, Admiral Rous, Mr. ureviile, and Mr. Payne—friend§ who could tonch the right chord in that testy oid Scot—were spent in trying to name his horaes for him."’ Sometimes they got him to the point of consenting, but the results were hothing but «give hima name,’ “He has a name, and “to's not Worth a name,” ander which queer tities the horses ran in public, He had @ hamorous turn, as these expressions will show, and he ths fied it further by cating two auima’s, after the biack duck stakes at York, the one “The Drake” and the otner “The White Duck.” HIS TREATMENT OF HIS As already mentioned, Lord Gi loved his horses well, and was singuiariy fond of their chances, His mares were, a3 & very bad; buat he had the merit of keeping them to himself, His stallions were ditto; but he them, He did not care to lett lend them; and worthless produce he would but not It was no annsual thing for him come dowa roy Ay = if a dozen 8 middii the i, and, after disco’ ut prohibitive fees on and would 5 — HORSE NOTES. In analyzing the entries for the purses to be trotted for over the Union Course in the beginning of June we were strack with the fue array of good horses that were entered. They include for the Principal purse, which will be trotted on tife second day of the meeting, auch celebritfes as Myron Perry, George Wilkes, American Girl, Lady thorn, Bashaw, Jr. Lucy and Gotdsmith Maid, all capable of going low down in tie twenties, aud representing @ casi, Value of over $160,000 in the aggregate, It is ques- tuonable whether seven trotting horses, their equals tn speed and value, can be tound in this or any other country, and it is our impression that when they Come together on the appointed day such @ race will be witnessed as has never occurred on the trotting turf of this country, Another point which ia to be particularly noted in connection with the horses engaged in this race is tat they are the representatives of the two rival breeds, the Messen- gers and Bashaws—tnree on each siie—the Messen- gers being represented by George Wilkes, Lady Thorn and Goldsmith Maid, the Bashaws by Ameri- can Gtrl, Bashaw, Jr., and Lucy, the seventh horse being of unascertained origin. As to the probabie Tesnitof the race ail is mere covjecture at present; for much will depend on the condition of the horses aud other contingencies when the time arrives for action.’ One thing, however, may be con- sidered certain, and that is that this race will not be won in tiree straight heats, beginning witi * the first. It will be @ protracted race; five heats Will certainly be trotted, perhaps more; for these horses appeared to be so equaliy matched In point of speed that the silghtest error on the part of horse or driver may change the resuit and occasion defeat where victory seemed a forezone couclnsion. Con- dution and staying powers wil be called into requist- ton in this race, and the horse possessed of the greatest share of them will be most likely to carry off the laurels. The skill of dic driver wiil aiso exercise a great influence on the success of his horse, and may perhaps beThe means of achieving a victory im @ race where #0 inuch depends upon skill and con- siderate judgment. Itis to be presumed, however, in a race of this character, that none but drivers of the first class will be suffered to take part. For the first purse of the meeting, for horses that never trotted better than three minutes, there are seventeen entries, We are not surprised at this num- ber veig entered, for there are @ great many fast horses in the country that have never appeared in Public, and this kind of a race is only an initiatory step toan introduction to the general business of the torf, Although the purse is given for horses that have never trotted betier than three minutes in public, we will not be surprised to see the winner trot tn the thirues. It is also worthy of notice that horses entered in the three minute purse are also entered in other purses, such as the 2:50 and 2:45 purses. ‘Those horses entered for the 2:40 purse are undoubtedly horses that can trot much faster, and we siould not be surprised to see some of them get very low m the thiriles, "The parse for horses that never beat 2:34 has ten entries. No doubt every horse entered for this race can trot down to 2:30 and even better. The “four horses entered for the 2:29 purse are all good ones, and will make acapitalrace. Our estimate of the aggregate valuc of the thirty- five horses, and not inciuding the seven first men- tioned in the great race to come off on the second day of the meeting, is, tuat they approach @ total of $135,000, making altogether a horse representation of neariy $300,000,000 In money value; and this of it- self goes far to confirm our previous. statement of the vast amount of money invested in horsedesh in this country. ‘The proprietor of the Fashion Course contemplates, besides his trotiing meciing, to give one for,running horses in the latter part of June, afver the American Jockey Club meeting has taken place and before that of Saratoga. The races are to be at heats, with light weights up, as he thinks that kind of race would be more suitable for our two and three year old horses and not so damaging to thelr legs as dashes with heavy weights. The reasons assigned by the managers of the Pres- pect Park Falr Ground for the exclusion of Lady Thorn from their principal! purse will nardly be con- sidered satisfactory by the public when it is taken into consideration that no leas than six others have been found willing tocontend against her on the Union Course on the 2d of June. There is plenty of time, however, for them to reconsider their deter- mination, and they may find it fo the interest of. the association to do so, as her entry in any race cannot fall to attract great atteution, They will have to make an alteration in one of their purses,’ as it is well known that Commodore Vanderbilt will not trot Mountain Boy in company where more than two are engaged. They may as well aiter the other purse at the same time, and make the attraction of the meeting ae great as possible, THE SING SING REVOLT.
