Availing themselves of our newly constructed rail- way acroas the continent the brethren of the far Bast greet their brethren of the far West. Nova Scotia shakes nands with Australia, the New Do- minion with Texas, Florida with Oregon, and all States, Territoriés, provinces and dominions where the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge extends, with California. The I. 0. of O. F. isin the ascendant just now, and may be seen proudly floating on the breeze from numerous flagstaf™s on Montgomery street. Arriving here on Thursday, the oficers and meutbers of the Grand Lodge have been va- riously féted by the fraternity of thia city. “The nar- bor and bay and all our surroundings of interest have been shown up to the best advantage, and on Monday the labors of the regular annual session of the Grand Lodge will commence. So far as known at present there are but few matters of deep interest to the Order at large to be legislated upon at this time. These few are the abrogation of an enact- ment by the last session relative to regalia, and the roposed amenament changing the title of the Grand xige of the United States to that of “Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd ft ” or to that of “Supreme Grand Lodge.” The rapid spread of the Order to foreign lands would seem to render @ change of this Kind necessary, although it may be attended with many thousand doilars’ expense.

MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. The principal dramatic event of the week will be the reappearance this evening of Miss Bateman at Booth’s theatre before her oid friends and ad- mirers--the New York public—after @ three years’ absence in Europe. Miss Bateman upon this occa- Sion Will assume her great rdle of Leah, a character, by the by, with which her name and fame are identl- fled upon both sides of the Atlantic, and in the artis- tio Interpretation of which she stands to-day with. out an equal on either the American or English stage. During her present engagement at Booth’s, which will cover @ period of ten weeks, Miss Bateman will eppear in a round of her most popular impersona- tions, including Julia, Bianca, and her latest Lon- don success, Mary Warner, in all of which she will be ably supported by Miss Blanche De Bar, Mr. George Jordan and Mr, Theodore Hamilton. On the Bateman “otf nights’—Saturdays—"Enoch Arden” will be the attraction, with Miss Fanny Morante, Miss Blanche De Bar and Mr. Theodore Hamilton in the cast. “Tue School for Scandal” is still the attraction at Wallack’s, where, notwithstanding its numerous shortcomings, it has met with a most decided suc- cess. Though a good and really enjoyable per- formance, it falls throughout to come up tothe pro- verbial high standard of Wallackian excellence, or even to meet the expectations formed of it through the recognized ability of the principal characters in the cast. As it is Mr. John Gilbert, as Sir Peter Teazle, walks off with all the honors, while the otner members of the company, male and female, who ap- pear in the plece, are altogether too méchanical, seldom guilty of infusing life or spirit into their parts, and often rising but littie above the level of mediocrity. The piece, which is magnificently mounted and superbly costumed—every character in the piece wearing but one dress each from frst to last—will be presented every evening during the week. “Dreams,” witn its sparkling dialogue, its mirth provoking situations and beautiful stage pictures, has reached the last week of its success at the Fifth Avenue theatre, where other noveities of an attrac. tive nature arein active preparation. “Dreams,” as produced at this theatre. is one of the most enjoy- able plays at present upon the boards in thia city, and can be witnessed without shocking tho sensibilities of even the most refined or fastidious of those in the audience by the slightest word or action, On Mon- day evening next Shakspeare’s comedy of “Twelfth Night” will be brought out at this establishment, with new and appropriate scenery and costumes, with Mra. Scott-Siddons in the character of Viola, supported by the full strength of the regular com- BDY> ij « Formoaa’”—a gilded picture of vice anda story in which sin in its worst forms, youthful depravity and dissipation, are each in the end awarded with happiness and riches—commences this evening the third week of its career at Niblo’s. The piece, we pelteve, hag six full weeks yet to run, having been placed on the stage to remain there, with the ap- proval of the public, for eight weeks. ‘the sanction of @large class of our citizens it has already re- ceived, so that there is every probablilty of it reach- ing its full maturity. Of “Formosa” and Bouct- cault it might be truthfully said, “what is one man's meat is another man’s poison.” English Opera at the TheAtre Francais, ander the Girection of Mme. Parepa-Rosa, ie proving a grand success, Crowded houses have been the rule during the entire week, and the operas as @ general thing have been exceedingly well given. To-night “The Bohemian Girl” will be given, on Tuesday “Sonnam- bua,” Wednesday “Maritana," and on Thuraday the troupe will again sing in Brooklyn. On Sunday ive @ grand concert evening next Mme, Rosa wil at Steinway Hall for the relief of the widows and orphans of the unfortunate Avondale miners, On Wedaesday evening next the season of grand French opera, concerning which there has been so much gossip and speculation, will be inaugurated at the Academy of Music, under the direction of M. Dryane, a gentleman who has had constderable operatic experience in the continental cities of Europe. Tne opening splurge will be Halevy's “La Juive,” which is promised witha strong cast and appropriate scenery, This season of grand French opera is to continue for six weeks, during which time we are to be treated to a good repertzire of works by the most popular composers, < At the Stadt theatre “La Juive” will likewise given this evening, tn German, by the opera com- pany now performing at that establishment. During the past week German opera, as produced in the Bowery, under the management of Mr. H. Grau, has met with flattering success, and should the manage- ment persevere in ita endeavors to please there is no good reason why the present saiton though necessarily short, should not prové remun tative. ‘The Carlotta Patti cohcerts are announced to com- Mence at Steinway Hall on next Saturday evening. Mile, Pattt returns from Europe, where, during ier absence, she has given over 1,000 concerts 1a the princtpal cites, With a chaplet of musical honors second scarcely to that worn by Jenny Lind in her paimiest days. For the inaugural concert a good rogramme haga been prepared, and Mr. Theodore itter, the pianist, aud Mr. F. Jenin Prume are also announced to appear on this occasion. The revival of ‘Patrie’* at the Grand Opera House is meeting with a fatr share of pablic patronage, and is beyond a doubt as remunerative to the manage- ment now as when originally produced. Tie cast might easily be improyed; yet, as the plece at pre- gent ts attracting large audiences, the management feel justified 1n retaining It in its present shape. To- night Miss Lucule Western, who sustains the role of Dona Dolores in the play, enters upon the fourteenth week of her engagement at this house, At the Olympic “Uncle Tom's Cabin” is still the magnet of attraction. The new dressing up which the dialogue and certain situations of the play have recetved at this house are, toa certain exieut, im- provements in Keeping with the times; yet there seems to be an Impression tbat ‘Uncle Tom’! is now rather out of date, and that lt will not pay nowa- days to meddle too much with him. At the Ulympic, however, he is at present apparently oo te tide of cess, Another cate of dramatic attractions is the feature at Wood’s Musenm for the present week, At the matinées we are to have the Rand Sistera, supported by the full strength of the Museum com- pany, in “The King’s Musxeteers,” and in the evening the vivacious Zavistowski Sisters wiil ap pear in the now burlesque of “Wip Wan Winkle." “Peril,” a sensational novelty, is in active prepara- tion at this establishment, and will be presented to the public for the first time on Monday next.

Lonpos, Sept. 4, 1869 We are & strange people, nous autres Angidte, and in nothing stranger than in our propensity to panics. We have commercial panics, when all kinds of securities go down like lead and peopie run about Lombard street and Lothbury, their eyes lit up with wild fire and their hatr standing on end, and all because a notion has got abroad, why or where. fore nobody kuows, that the banks are about to fail. We have political panics when, because a few half- starved tailors in St, Giles talk seditious language about the Queen and the royal family, peaceable citi- wena who never smelt powder stronger than tooth- powder, and perhaps not much of that, are sworn in ag special constables, when the gates of Hyde Park are locked and “the millingtary are called out’’ even as they were calied out by Mr, Bumble for just as good a cause when Oliver Twist asked for another slice of bread. But of ali forms of panic to which the Anglo-Saxon race ig subject, the most frantic and appalling is assurediy the virtuous panic, such as seizes our gentle public every now and then, when good, easy folks, blessed with strong digestions and torpid consciences, sud- denly awaken to the comfortable conviction that, in- stead of being respectable members of a godly community, they are miserable sinners, tottering upon the brink of perdition, At such a penitentlal season What was harmless yesterday is criminal to- day, and men and women who had been swallowing camels all their lives and digesting them with as much ease as jelly, strain at the tiniest of gnata. We are just now im the paroxysms of such a visita- ton, and the victim of our holy indignation is Mr. Dion Boucicault’s new play of “Formosa,” which continues to be the subject of tanumerable letters of complaint and protestation in the. daily papers. “Give mea part to tear a cat in,” says Bottom the Weaver; and we, in our pious frenzy, are tearing the cat with a vengeance. That tne play abounds in improbabilities is not disputed, though, sooth to say, it would be no easy matter to decide what is and what 13 not likely to occur in this bewildering pianct ofours. ‘The events are doubtless in many respecis unitke those we see happening around us; but of what play may not as much be said? Something is due to the ticentia poetarum, There is notuing so unlike a battle, it has been sald, as areview, and tne world behind the footlights bears but little re- semblance to that in front, But the improbability may be forgiven. What excites the sacred gall of the “unco righteous” is that the heroine of the story is acueen of the demi-monde, who, having stooped to folly, grows wise, and ends by becoming an hon- est woman. This is asight too much for Curistian flesh and blood to endure, Oh! for a forty-parson power To chant thy praise hypoci lay. The domestic life of England is as pure as—but probably not a jot purer—that of any other civilized country on earth; but most unquestionably there is no civilized country from the equator to either pole where vice walks abroad in the streets and hth. ways with such rampant, brazen effrontery—un- abashed by neo sense of decency, uncontrolicfl by any pressure of civic rule—as in this colossal city of London. The claims of patriotism are urgent, but thuse of truth are imperative, and no candid English- man who knows anything of Continenttal cities will hesitate to admit that more proffigacy meets the eye in half an hour’s walk at nignt between Regents Circus and Charing Cross than 18 to be seen In ail the streets of Paris from one end of the year to the other. The suares ar pel the ateps of youth and ingocence after sdndown in kondon are incomparably more numerous and more perilous than in Parts, Berlin or Vienna. The records of our various tribunals and particularly of the divorce courts reveal the prevalence of @ fraghttal limmo- rality. The serpent on the hearth is éverlastingly cropping up in the person of our old friend the Co- respondent. Our pictorial literatare bespeaks the same depraved taste.

Yet no opera draws larger houses. No later than last season the town was all agog in admiration of Mile. Schaelder, whose pro- ceedings upon the stage certainly were not exactly those of a vestal; yet the same “town”’ is now hor rifed at the wocy nay of Formosa. Dat Veniam cor- vis vecat censiira Colum or in modern parody Dat Ventam Schneiart vexiué cengura Formosgm, The religious papers are, as befits their calling, foremost in the holy fray. Hark to the Christian World:—“‘It is the duty of the public press to de- ounce flagrant instances of immoral teaching in the theatre, and ‘formosa’ is platuly immoral, But we have no hope of reclaiming the stage."’ Oh, thou precious pot of ointment! Would that toe stage might reciaim thee ! lo another column of the same print we dhd the following advertisement:— BoaRn.—Advertiser offers « retired country home and watchrulness, with every kindness mpathy, to the friends of any young pergon who. red, or otherwise necessary to place away, ‘Terms £50 yearly. Let thts edifying announcement speak for itself. “Verbum non amnplius adsum,” except just tus, stolen from Lord Byron:— We're not a moral people and we know It, Without the ald of too slacere a poet. “Acis and Galatea’ has vanished from the boards of the Princess’, leaving the manager, it isto ve feared, no richer, however poorer, than it found him, Some of the singers engaged tn the performance of this opera remind one irresistibly of Colevidze’s epigram:— Swans sing before they die; ‘twore no bad thing Diu certain persons die before they aing. A neat, 10f, that and very sanglant, as tre French are wont to say, The house is now shat and Will so remain for abouta fortnight, when it will be re- opened with a new play from the inexhaustible pen of Mr. Dion Boucicault, the chief characters to be we orted by Mr. aud Mrs, Charles Mathews aud Mr. ining. ‘The representation of Mr. T. W. Robertson's com- edy ofschooi’’ has been suspended at the Prince of Wales theatre for a couple of weeks to allow of the house being cleaued and redecorated. It ts to be wished that now that the players are away the arch- iteols would get to work and see whether it ia not pos- sible to cuntrive better and more numerous means of exit, It is awful to think what the consequences would be in case of fire or of panic which wouid be just as bad insuch a building as this, whence the ways out are so narrow that two people meeting have to walk sidewise to pass. A man going to the play at this or indeed at almost any theatre in London, (with the exception of the Adelphi), goes with his life tn his hand, 80 wretchedly defective are the pro- visions for the safety of the audience in the event of danger or the fear of it. At the Strand the burlesque of ‘Joan of Arc” has been withdrawn, after @ most prosperous run, in favor of Mr. Byron’s old extravaganza of the “Pil- grim of Love,” a vivacious, though not very veraci- ous play, founded on one of Washington Irving's stories In ‘Tales of the Alhambra,’ and orisinally roduced at the Haymarket avout ten years ago. t is a sparkling little piece, put together with much beatness of dramatic craft, and Fall of fun ‘As funeral coaches when the fuuerai’s done. Mr. EB. Terry makes a hit as the King of Toledo. Miss Kate Newton 1s the Parrot, and Miss H. Erskine is the Prince, in which character she sings with much oifect that pathetic baliad tn which it is stated “Thera ty no rest but the grave for the pilgrim of Jove,” which is simply untrue. Let the pilgrim of love get married, aud his malady will disappear like atlver dew before the sun. But there is no end to the nonsense your amatory poets will talk when- over they give free rein to thelr fancy. Even Tom Moore, tue king of lyric bards, now and then sings ina very irrational strain, melodies, It may be, but very irrational, as, for example, in that famous song of his in which he makes @ sentimental gentleman pluck for his own buttonhole the very last rose of summer, on the hypocritical pretext that it went to his heart to see it “blooming alone.” On the same pimotee You might rob your best friend of his iast shilling. capacity!—wore @ red wafer upon her forehead mark her from the rest of her sex; yet even this di not prevent uim from sometimes kissing the wropg woman.
