Ferdinand Palmo. On yesterday morning Ferdinand Palmo dicd at his residence in this city, in the eighty-tith year of hig age. To many readers of the HERALD his name will appear strange, for to the present generation he was comparatively unknown. But to the old citi- zens of New York--those who were young men twenty-five years ago—and to the theatrical profes- sion in general, the mention of his death will awaken reminiscences of those “good old days" of New York, when the Ravel family were the sensation at Niblo’s, and before the era of French opera bouse and almost nude English sensational drama. HIS CAREER. Ferdinand Palmo was born in Naples during the year 1784, of respectable parents, his father be:ng an oi! merchant in his native city. When about twenty-six years of age he arrived in Richmond, Va., on board the brig Flambeau, and immediately ‘Went into business there as @ dealer in naval stores, He remained in Virginia some six years, during which he married Anna Thorpe, the daughter of a Virginia farmer. In 1816 he removed to New York and opened a confectionery establishment on the corner of Broadway and Chambers street, but does not appear to haVe continued the business for any length of time. He, however, prospered in O18 pecuniary affairs until the outbreak of the cholera in 1832, when, during the course of a few weeks, he lost $20,000, Mr. Palmo now returned to Richmond, after selling out his store, and remained there for some time, when he came back to New York, where he reopened his confectionery establishment, this time on Broadway, neargWalker street, Great success attended his efforts, and after realizing a large amount, he temporarily retired from business and went to Naples for the purpose of visiting his sister, who was in a convent there, Returning co New York, after a lapse of nine months, he opened a store on Howard street, making @ considerable sum of money during a period of seven years, when he again went to Europe. He seems to nave been of a restless dispo- sition, never being content with engaging in the game pursuit for any considerable length of time. His second tour to Europe lasted for two years, aud upon coming back to thus city he opened @ café on Duane street, near Broadway. His success in this enterprise was a8 marked as that which had attenced his previous eiforts. But the same restlessness he had exhibited tn his previous undertakings attended him in this enterprise, While on the road to amas- sing @considerabie fortune he sold out the concern an taking his wite with him, went to Naples, Paris ind other pare of Europe, remaining abroad for some months, \THE LOSS OF HIS FORTUNE AND 1T3 RECOVERY, Up to say time the most flattering sugcess had all of Mr, Palmo’g etforts. fe made Money with comparative éase, and his progress towards the ion of wealth was the subject of remark by all who knew him. On Dis return from his European tour the earnings of years were des- tined to be swept away. He purchased and opened a store corner of Broadway and Reed street, for which va ie gun of uc. Al Prat ho ade reat “deal of money, oes aay, however, ho learned that there was & heavy mort: gage on his property, of the existence of which he was utterly ea when he purchased it, ‘this wag foreclosed aad the seizure and sale of the store was the beginning of his iil fortune. Disheartened by the severe losses he was called upon to sustain, he sold out his stock of Roos (on credit) to a coun- tryman of his, who, with rare heartiessness, sold everything and pever paid a cent to Mr. Palmo, A SECOND FORTUNE MADE. The unfortunate gentleman, reduced almost to poverty, was now compelled to seek nis friends for bee anes generously ideq h fs opening mabers street, the samé locality now Gtcupied By the Unite My 3 courts, ana was about the year 1839 or 1840. Weare uot certain of the precise date, but it was probably the first men- tioned. He was very successful in this enterprise, and, during the three years that he continued it, very nearly, if not fully, recovered all that he had reviously lost. At this place, too, if we ate not mis- aken, patronage was influenced and popularity aained by means of ginging and dancing, reg- ular performers being employed to entertain the company. Aithough ia reality @ concert saloon, the establishment must not be confounded with the vile resorts of the present day Known by the same name, It was conducted on @ most respectabie basis; its pa- trons were gentlemen of good standing and promin- ence in society, and the performers were all proper characters, The saioon did not rank among the regu- lar places of amusement, but it was a popular and favorite resort, and the proprietor was respected and esteemed by a large circie of acquaintances. Here were to be met many of the then or subse- quently famous men of New York—the politicians @nd literati of Gotham. HIS ITALIAN OPERA ENTERPRISE. For several years previous to 1844 efforts had been Made to establish ftallun opera ia the city on the same footing of permanency as English drama had attained. Nuthing, however, except of a spasmodic nature, had been cnergetically attempted and perse- vered in. Stroiling companies of second and third rate French and Italian artists visited New York at intervals, but beyond their occasional appearance the metropolis was absolutely destitute of Italian opera. Tue newspapers, urged some public spirited citizen to erect a place of amusement to be specially designed for lialian opera. To this appeal Mr. Paimo responded. At an expense or $96,000 he erected the theatre known at first as Palmo's Opera House and afterwards as Burton’s theatre. ‘This building was afterwards sold to the United States overnment, aud is now, a8 we stated before, used yy the United States courts. For the purpose of carrying out his new enterprise Mr, Palmo aban- doned the saloon business, and devoted his cntire time and attention to the opera. Early in 1544 the building was completed and ready for perform. ances, and on the night of February 2, 1844, the season opened with “Il Puritan.” The following ‘was the cast:— Ignora Borghese, jgnor Vattellin -Bignora Magocch Signor Perozal, jgnor Maver. Henrietta of Frat mora Albertaza\’ Sir Bruno Noberton, ignor Albertazai, Vattellina was the director of the company and Rapeiti leader of the orchestra, At first the per- formances were weil attended, but the expenses were 80 enormous that the manager lost money. He had invested every dollar he was worth in the enterprise. It was tho first time that any individual had offerod in the capacity of sole manager of Italian opera in New York and Mr. Palmo did bis best to achieve success. He produced all the best operas of the time, including ‘iucretia Borgia,” ‘Semiramis,” the “Barber of Seville’ and others of like popular- itv on a scale of magnificende heretofore unequalied, For three seasons he struggled with adverse fortune and finally succumbad. His expenses were enor- mous, and he loat his entire fortane in the effort to keep the enterprise going. Occasionally the artists refused to sing when not paid in advance so* wrecked was he in his pecuniary circumstances. At lengt': he a bandoned the opera business and was never after able to en- gage init, He was one of the pioueers in the work of establishing Italian opera in New York, and he failed, even as every one of his successors in the like work have since failed. CLOSB OF HIS CAREER IN COMPARATIVE POVERTY. With the assistance of some friends Mr. Palmo opened & hotel at Bioomingdale alter retring from the opera business, He kept 1t for nine months, when he returned to New York and opened a confec- tionery store on Broadway, and after strug- giing for some time failed. He then started his former café in Broadway, near Duane street, and during the three years he remained there cleared $9,000, One night burgiars broke into his apart- ments, corner of White street and Broadway, and stofe all his money and jewelry. This blow utterly ruined hii He never after engaged in business, He retired into private life in comparative poverty, heartbroken by his misfortunes, He never had children, but adopted @ daughter some years ago. His wife died in 1366, and he, being very old, a to fail tn health last January. A few weeks back he was confined to bed, and after linger- ing, hopeless of recovery, died at an early hour ye3- terday morning.

M., and it frequently happens that one arrives while the other is yet In the depot, in which case it waits at the Court street oridge until the frst urata is out of the way. It happened so this morn- ing. ‘The Shore fine train arrived first, aud the Springfeld train stopped at the customary piace. On this latter train were a gentieman named Matthews and his daughter, of Branford, Who were returning home from Fast- hampton, Mass. He being asleep was awakened by his daughter, and naturaily supposing that the train was in the depot, he hastened to leave the cars. Just as he reached the ground the Shore Line engine backing Ad from the depot struck the unfortunate man, crushing one leg and an arm in a horrible man- ner. The daughter went on to the depot with the train, not dreaming of the fate of her father. The tne ured man Was shortly found and borne to the siatton- {oase, while two men wore-sentto break the news tothe daughter. It ts not supposed that the man can iive, He was in extreme pain, and his groans excited the liveliest emotions of sympathy anoug the dozen spectayors of the mournful sLene, R$ OF THz BAY AND RIVER.

That’s hard on the Keystones, and may be all correct; but won't some- body lend the Flyaways’ president some decent ink? “Dexter” defeated "Mountain Boy” on Thursday, Score—Dexter, 59; Mountain Boy, 33. The Dexter will play the Sunaysices at Tarrytown on the 7th, and the Monitor of Sing Stng at White Plains on the 14tn for a silver ball.

OMcers of clubs sending scores or accounts of games to newspapers with the expectation of hav- ing them published should arrange them to a man- ner fit for publication. If the officers of the clubs have not interest enough in the matter to at- tend to it properly how can they expect others who care notiing at a'l for their clubs to take trou- ble and spend time in endeavoring to decipner a lot of Bisson DBCS only to gratify a few people at most Rumor says that Charley Hunt wil play in the Atlantic nine. Likewise that Gedney, late of the Empire, is to play in the Mutual nine. Several games were played last week in which there was not a Kelly on either side, Strange!

They will target practise, and do many other things too nu- merous to mention. They will be reviewed by the Mayor at the City Hall before they go to the Park, which will be very agreeable to the regiment. The mmittee on the army celebration, tn their circular, say ‘substitutes will not be allowed to parade.” Wouldn’t the service be benefited by maxing thls a standing order for the militia? What good regi- ment has “substitutes?” ‘The First regiment have gone back on their z00- zoo costume and have been furnished with new uniforms.
