ersand flowers worn by the plaintiff, ang the debate was waxing warm, when a mesqenger announcing that the Commissioner was ready to receive the lady in pantaloons adjourned the meeting and dispersed the gathering crowd. Here we have a striking illustration of the between genuine womanhood and this impracticable monstrosity of Bloomerism. The ‘roman, true to herself and her sex, stands as the victor from one of the most unequal, diffi- cult and protracted contests ever waged by woman for her rights in any country, while the Bloomer, hat in hand, goes from department to department in Washington, asking that some poor office-holder may be turned out to starve with his family to accommodate her with a petty clerkship, and is rebuffed in jeers and Jaughter at every point. She talks of her prin- ciples, but it is only the hen jumping up on the fence, flapping her wings and attempting to play the rooster in a lusty crow. Vermont Politics. The Troy Whig says General Peter T. Wash- duro, spoken of as the republican candidate for Governor of Vermont, does not belong to the family that has furnished so many gov- ernors and members of Congress to other States—as well as a Minister abroad it might have added—and adds that ‘‘Vermont has far abler men, and none better qualified to make a good chief magistrate.” Judging by this standard it does not require a very able man to be Governor of the Green Mountain State. But it probably means ‘‘few” abler. » While on the subject of Vermont politics we may as well state that the contest for the republican nomi- nation for Governor lies between General Washburn, Dudley C. Denison, of Rgyal- ton, late United States District Attorney, a lawyer of ability and a relative of Chief Justice Chase, and Julius Converse, of Woodstock, ex-Lieutenant Governor. For Lieutenant Governor John W. Stewart, of Middlebury, will probably receive the nomina- tion; and for State Treasurer the present incumbent, John A. Page, of Montpelier, will be renominated. Of course the whole republican ticket will be elected; for democrats in Vermont are as scarce as sugar-maple trees tapped in midsum- mer. The democrats expect to gain in the Logislature on account of opposition to the prohibitive liquor law and to the proposition for the consolidation of railroads passing through the State. Consolidation seems to be the order of the day among railroad corpora- tions, and why expect Vermont to be behind in any radical movement? The election occurs iu Septembor. A BRILLIANT METEOR. Abont six minutes past eleven o'clock last night a meteor of remarkable brilliancy shot across the horizon at a point some ten degrees north-northwest of Altair or Alpha Aquila, and moved over an arc of thirty degrees in a northwesterly direction. Although the night was comparatively clear and bright the meteor appeared not only unusually bril- Mant, but also of an extraordinary size. It bore a dong train of fire, and to the naked eye appeared as large as a full moon, ana when it exploded the ‘effect was very grand. It was visible to the naked eye about five seconds, all the time casting a dark shadow. At first its color was red and afterwards a deep green. In size it was fully as ljarge as the famous meteor of 1859, and was probably not less shan thirty miles distant from the earth. But few persons who saw the phenomenon at first supposed it to be a meteor. Those opposite the Astor House were under the impression that the building ‘was on fire; others, and particularly those on the ferryboats crossing the river, supposed that the hea- vens were suffused with flashes of lightning. In- deed, it was not until the meteor had fairly traversed the horizon that it waa fully recognized as such. On bursting, the fragments, hurled in all directions, con- tributed a pyrotechnic display to the grandeur of what will undoubtedly rank as one of the most noteworthy meteors seen in this city. The Meteor Seen in Hartford, Conn. HARTFORD, May 20, 1869. A remarkably large and brilliant meteor was ob- served at ten minutes past eleven to-night. It seemed to grow rapidly from about tne size of a star to a large bail of fire, which shot across the heavens from south-southwest to east-northeast, about forty- five di above the horizon, leaving a very large and brilliant trail. 1t shed a pulish blue light, much more brilliant than moonlight, casting shadows in the streets and attracting the attention of persons indoors. «AUCTION SALE OF PAINTINGS. ing to A.

The new family market in Thirty-fourth street, be- tween Second and Third avenues, is fast approach- ing completion, and will be formally opened to the public on Saturday, the 29th inst. The want of a good market in this neighborhood has long been felt, and when the one now built shall have been duly opened to the public there 1s not the slightest doubt that it will be liberaily patronized and will prove beneficial, both in point of economy and conveni- ence, to the thousands of families, rich as well as poor, who will seek to bave their bodily wants sup- plied at its stalls, without being compelled to tramp through the nauseating filth which guards the ap- proaches to the dirty and dilapidated rookeries down town that are dignified with the name of “market.” ‘The “Thirty-fourth Street Market” Rid Lecce th exsly for this purpose by private enterprise, dhe of the neateat and, most cheerful places of the kind in the city. It i# 154 feet iong by 100 deep, but it is contemplated to add 50 feet more to its length and 100 feet more to its ane, which will add con- siderably to its capacity. The market is divided into seven departments or stores, 22 by 60 feet, par- tiuoned off from each other by large arches in the front, but opening into one large room at the baci waich rans the entire length of the burlding, an is forty feet wide. The market occupies the ground floor of seven — bulidings, which are four stories in height, and are to be rented out in floors as first class tene- ments. Beneath the market are large, weil lighted and airy basements, which are to be iet out for various pases, Such a8 restaurants, fruit stores, &c., While the front of tne building is hand- somely set uff with seven large, ornamented lamps what out near the eurbstoue, and which at night will have the effect of making the immediate vicinity of the market as bright as day. ‘There will be eighty-four stalls or stands in the mar- ket, an@ each stail Will be provided with large and convenient ice boxes; besides which there are eignt ice houses in diferent portions of the market, in which ice in large quantities can be stored when not wanted for unmediate use. Each of the different departments of the market will be devoted to the sale of specialties, such as groceries, meat, fish, vegetables, butter and cheese, and even crockery ware. In short, it promises to be one of the most compiete institutions of the kind, for its size, in the city, The building is well ventilated and ts lighted at the rear fourteen eky- lights, which give tt # cheerful and mviting appear- ance. The fittings up are somewhat better than those of most markets, and everything about the place is constructed of the pest is. ‘The statis are all built of black walnut and ash, and even the floor, Which ts constructed of thick spruce planks, 1s made watertight by being thoroughiy caiked and tarred. The market is to be well liguved with eas and provided with Croton water, aud alter tt has once been open to the public cannot fad to command @ remunerative patronage.

UNION Laagus TaBaTRE—SIGNOB GIOR7ZA's AN- NUAL CoNnosET.—At this concert last night two things were apparent on entering—frst, that the audience was excellent in quality, and, second, that this hitle theatre, at even three dollars ticket, was too sinalll for the occasion. The performers chosen by Giorza for this entertainment from his friends and amateur pupils were Mesdames C. Medina, 0. Tal boy and R. Dart, and the folowing young ladies:— Misses Fannie and Annie Powell, V. Burton, Ada Leaman, Maria Pitkin, £. P, Burdett, Josie Meiere, F.@. Schwab, A. Osgood, Elia Waller, F. Green, A. Henne, 8. Van Emburgh, Nora Cranche @ud Miss Schneider, And the following gentiemen:— Messrs. W. R. A. Johnson, R. W. Nathan, F. L. Dal- lon, Sefior Martinez and or G, Gariboldi. | The programme was made up of choice extracts from ne most distinguished choruses, quar- tela, trios, duets, rom: cavatinas, &¢., concluding with the last act, in operatic style, of the opera of “Romeo and Juhette.”” A good orchestra and several pianos were the instrumental forces. The opening chorus, from “li Giurameato,” in which the whole troupe of lady singers and the orchestra joined, made a One impression, and from this to the end of the bill every piece was lauded. ‘The romanza from Robandt, ‘La Stella Confidente,’” by Miss Schwab, was chi ly rendered; the duet from “Belisario,” by Mesars. Johnson and Nathan, was given with spirit and the prover emphasis and discretion. “Il Galop,” by Mrs. Medina and Miss Burton, met with @ hearty erenee, and Misa Fanny Poweil’s cavatina from “Corrado,” by Giorza, was 80 delicately and tastefully given as to wiu arecall. The opening of second was a trio trom the “Stabat Mater,” with @ full chorus of the ladies and orchestra assisting,and was better than anything in Rossini’s “Messe So.ennelle,” The romanza {rent “Mattel,” ‘Ah | se m’amassi,’’ by Miss Annie Powell, in tenderness and artistic finish was the particular gem of the necklace, if the programme may 80 be called. The famous quartet from “| letto,”” by Miss F. Powell, Miss Van Emburgh and Messrs. Joinson and Nathan, brought out Mr. Johnson as a very good amateur operatic tenor. ‘The last act of “Komeo and Juliet,” by Miss A.

Miss Heane made a delightful Romeo and Miss Powell a pleas- ing little Juliet; and, to conclude, une entertamment was throughout a success. Sreinway HALL.—A concert of more than ordi- nary interest was given at this hall last night, being the occasion of the début of a young American so- prano, Miss Dora Harris, the sister of Laura Harris, now one of Bagier's favorite artists. She sang “Brnani Involame” with Theodore ‘Thomas’ orches- tra, and gave evidence of possessing a high soprano voice of considerable power and richness of tone, which with more experience can be made a strong feature in opera or concert, Mme. Natali ‘Testa's beautiful and thoroughly artistic contralto voice, was heard to advantage in the O Saluiarts from’ Rogsini’s mass, and Signor Tamaro sang “E ver,” a romanga by Campana, with orchestra, with marked eifect, Colletti caine out in @ buifo aria in is own happy manner; and the four artists rendered the in- imituble quartet of “Rigoletto’’ in a manner worthy of this, the greatest of Verdi's works, The “Witches! Dance” was violinized by Kopta in an artistic man- ner, and Mr. Pattison played his new concert polka and “Murtha” fantasia with ail the characteristic dash and brilliancy which places him at the head of his school of pianism. Dr. Wiiliam Berge was the conductor at the piano and in the orchestra, and fulfilled both departments with his usual ability. ‘The concert in an artistic point of view was an eutire success, but the audience was scarcely of pro. portionate dimensions. Musical and Theatrical Notes. “Robinson Crasoe” at Wood's Museum is now no more what it was on the first night of its presenta- tion than “chalk a8 like cheese.’ The dialogue has been much improved by the localization of some- vody, the scenery does not hitch in its changes and the machinery of the grand transformation works more perfectiy. Altogether the action of the piece is more rapid and its division into two actsisa great improvement. However we may consider “Robinson Crusoe” at this establishment, the most critical will fail in now finding material fault, and when the “Kiralfy Troupe’ (who are expected cn Monday next), are, with their eleven Hungarian gro- tesque dancers, introduced into the ballet scene, “Robinson Crusoe’ then will be in @ fair way to surpass any entertainment of 1t# class ever presented to the public of the United States. We have referred to the prices estab- lushed at Wood's Museum as being for tue orchestra and balcony fifty per cent lower than other first class theatres, and have predicted that it would have a permanently beneficial effect on the business and popularity of this place of amusement. The expenses attending the production of “Robinson Crusoe” have been evidently greater than those of any other attraction now before the public, and i Manager Wood can aflord to place his pieces at their present standard, other establishments will be coin- pelied to follow in his wake or, we think, tose their patronage. One dollar is in 4 genera) sense deemed Fat ssayee for two hours of dramatic tun, or trageay eivher. The new pantomime of “Hiccory Diecory Dock,” at the Ulympic, much that is novel, amus- lug and enjvyable; but at the same time 1 also con- taums much that is wearisome, not to say nauseat- ing. In short, the needs judicious pruning from beginning to end betore it can even hope w attain one-twentieth part of the popularity of iu eminently successful predecessor. Mr. Fox, who is both author and r of the piece, should see to it, and bomediately, that at least some of its many drawbacks and defects are remedied. He now has several rivals for pantomimic honors in the ficid, and cannot afford to be careless except at the risk of losing at one sweep all of his hard earned and well deserved honors and fame as pantomimic author and clown. Among other things we would suggest less talking throughout the piece, a mo.e robust wite for the giant, less dancing by half, and no singing whatever. The latter particularly sige out of place in the pantomime, and if dispensed wi altogether would materially improve it. Lf we must have dancing let it be by les premiers Ce not quite 80 Inuch by chorus. Another premiére danseuse would relieve the Sangali monotony and would be ite an attractive feature. Two corps de bail Above Fox, cut out the wearisome court room scene altogether. It jacks both wit and. humor, and is a oo to the piece, and is, moreover, entirely destitute every essential that pertains to tomime. it is useless and tiresome, and 1s edly offensive in the irreverent manner in which it drags in, for no purpose whatever, a well known passage from the sacred Scriptures. Do away with the court room scene, the talking and the singing, and improve the ballet, and then “Hi Diccory Dock,” with a few minor alterations, will be a worthy successor to the “late lamented” “Humpty Dumpty.” Mr, Harry Watkins, who, like Boucicault, writes his own plays and plays in them, is at present play- ing a short engagement in iphia, supported company.
