Jon Brougham starts for California to-day. ‘The Chapman Sisters are favoring the citizens of Detroit with “Ixion.” Lotta is dazzling the Clevelanders with ‘Fire Fly.” “Nicodemus,” “The Ticket of Leave Man’s Wile” and the “Forty Thieves” are the aitractions this week in Chicago. Miss Jane Hosmer ta drawing good houses tn Pittsburg with “Camille” aud ‘Lucretia Rorgia.”? Miss Rose Eytinge and other members of Mr. Wal- lack’s Company will treat the fastidious citizens of ‘Trenton to standard comedies to-morrow and Satur- day evenings. Mme, fose-lell takes @ benefit at Steinway Hall to-morrow evening, upon which occasion she wiil ive selections from ‘Faust,’ ‘Gil Blas” and “Les loces de Jeannette.” Edward Eddy will make his appearance at Wood’s Museum on the 28th inst. in a new play, which Fas Says is a dramatic version of **The Wandering ew.” Mr. Simon iassler, the leader of the orchestra at the Wainut street theatre, Philadelphia, makes his first appearance on the stage at that establisnment this evening in the farce of “My Neighbor's Wule.”” Lingard is winuing golden opinions at Selwyn’s theatre, Boston, with his amusing burlesque of “Pluto,” filled up with his beautiful “bleached blondes.’* With the ending of the present week opéra bouffe in this city comes toa {nil stop. During the past year it reached the meridian of its glory and popu- larity, not only m this country but also in Europe, in which latter part of the world it still manages to maintain a semblance of vitality, while here it 13 now in its dying throes, without a plank to stand upon, and is even denied, by a fickle public, the erumbs of petronaee necessary for its support. For many months this frothy luxury held our citizens captive with its sparkling effervescent harmonies and droll nonsense, and at one time it even ap- peared as though they could not possibly get enough of it But, as of everything else, they soon tired of their new found pleasure, and, sighing for a change, if not for something more sub- stantial, they have at last cast away the enchanting musical bauble and will have nothing more todo with it, at least for some little time to come, ‘There ‘was a peculiar sort of charm about it, a freshness and a noveliy that was both fascinating and enjoya- ble; but, though at the outset it was relished by the public, it proved in the end a@ costly toy to more than one of our managers. Whether or not opéra boufe wiil be revived again next season 1s as yet a matter of some littie doubt. At all events the opera bouffers who have enlivened us during the past nine months with their droileries and sparkling melodies are now departing in smail detachinents for la belle France, and witi Saturday evening next vanishes the last genuine opéra vouge performance from she stage in this city. Tennyson holds nigh revel on the New York stage on Monday evening next, the 21st inst. On that par- ticular nigat “Enoch Arden” will be presented to the public at Booth’s theatre, and ‘Dora’? will grace the boards at tbe Fifth avenue theatre. Both pieces will be brought out in a liberal manner, and, con- sidering that each piece has been cast with acknow- ledged talent in the leading réles, tt 1s but tair to presume that each will be capitally enacted. If such prove to be the case, then success, doubtless, awaits both. “Enoch Arden” has mever yet been produced in this city, but “Dora” was played at the Broadway theatre about a year ago, with Miss Kate Newton as Dora, and Mr. Jonn Jack as Farmer Allan, At that time the piece did not attract much atvention, and was withdrawn after & few representations. Under the hew condition of alfairs both dramas will be superbly placed upoa the stage, and each bids fair to achieve a succeas. At Booth’s theatre Mr, Edwin Adams will sustain the part of Enoch Arden, the careless husband, and Miss Blanche De Bar the character of Annie, the wife who was too much married. At the Filth ave- nue theatre Miss Lizzie Pri of the Arch street theatre, Philadeiphia, will enact ora, and Mr. Frederick Robinson, of Selwyu’s theawe, Boston, ‘will personate Farmer Allan. Another notable theatrical event which comes off on the same might—the 21st instant—wilt be the re- appearance of Miss Lucille Western before her old Iriends, the New York public, at the Grand Opera House, in her great dual character of Lady Isavel and Madame Vane, in the sensational play of “East Lynne.” Miss Western has taken a lease of the Grand Opera House tor a short summer season, and intends, during her brtef stay at that house, to oring out anumber of ber peculiar sensational plays, tn each of which she will sustain the leading rode, and Wul be supported by a strong company.

WEST POT. ‘The Last Parade of the Graduating Clase— The General Stasding—Bergiand, Hun, Tillman, Price and Taylor the “Stars”— The “Merits” of the Classe—The New Cadets-Another Hop—The New Cadets’ Ofticers. West Pornt, June 16, 1859, The cadet career of the graduating class ended to- day as the career of many another class has ended before it, in the midst of mingled joy and sorrow, To be sure from every division inthe barracks where a “grad” reigns supreme there have issued from early morning sounds of merriment and of mirth; that the bugle call to recitation and the drum beat to parade have new no more alarms for the “men of '69"’; that gray coats and pants have been Kicked about and pompooned hats torn to shreds, the general gladness has been for all that tinged with a regret that no attempt was made to conceal it. For old friends with whom the class have marched side by side tn review and tn ordinary drill must be left be- hind, and the green sequestered spota beneath the drooping trees, where fond words have been breathed, are not so easily forgotien, even though “the onset, the pursuit, the roar of victory o'er the routed foe’ be beckoning in the future. THB LAST PARADE. The sun had just dropped behind old Fort Put this evening, leaving the west ‘colored like a robin’s breast,’? when the drums beat to parade and the graduates marched forth with their comrades for the last time. They carried no rifles, and wore their side arms only. The corps did not come out on the plain at double quick time, as is thetr wont, but marched forward slowly by companies. When the battalion had formed in line and the usual movements had been gone through with, the band, while marching along the front, played “Home, Sweet Home,” and ‘Auld Lang Syne,’ the notes echoing from crag to crag along tue mountain ranges and revurning with redoubled sweetness to the plains beneath. Then, as Adjutant Rockwell in avoice broken with emotion gave the command, “Parade dismissed,” the class formed in a body and marched forward to the front, the band meanwhile playing “Out of the Wilderness,” and then broxe ranks, And thus ended the career of the class of '69. THE GENERAL STANDING. It will be seen by the gencral standing of the class, which I append below, that my siateiuen: in yester- day’s letter aa to who the “stars’? would be, 1s fully borne out.
