Some months ago we publisned a list of seven schemes, with @ capital of nearly £6,000,000, ‘which had been launched shortly after the success of the French Atlantic cable, and the list, inclusive of companies for telegraph construction, may now Be extended to thirteen, with a capital of £9,000,000 vi British Indian Submarine Telegraph—Suez to Aden and BY saves y 2. *Direct English, Indian and Australian, &.

Ever since the year 1838 1t has been the custom of the “ire ladies’ of the City of Churches to honor ‘Terpsicnore in # formal and generous ovation to that popular goddess once a year by holding a grand assembly aud dance at the largest and best hall in the city. As yeara rolled on the annual ball of the Brooklyn Fire Department increased in importance with the growth of the city, extension of the sphere of usefulness of the department and the ever-crowu- ing happy memories which are assoctated with “tne event.” While the Firemen’s ball has always been well attended by the ¢lita of the city, who felt proud iu according the approbation of their Presence to these reunions of their gallant fellow citizens who brave the clements to succor the distressed, the department early decided upon appropriating the receipts of the sale of the tickets for the ball toward the fund for the relief of widows and orphans of deceased members, Thus a noble charity Was combined with social enjoyment, and a double end was accomplished, The people pecame famillar with their firemen under the joyous glare of the baliroom light, and at the same time con- tributed towards relieving the necessities of those Whose natural protectors had fallen ih the path of duty wobly and voluntarily assumed, As to the ‘boys’? themselves, they took the greatest pride in the conduct and success of their public en- tertaimment, and neither expense, taste nor labor was: ever spared in the periection of tho arrangements.

Asa reason for this churlish opinion was as- signed che statement that the msurauce companies would not accord their countenance and assistance thereto, because of the fact that the firemen of “ye olden time” could no jonger be of avat! to them. be all this as lt may, It 1s an indisputable fact that the drawbacks, from whatever source they way have proceeded, did not appear on the surface, and the thirty-second annual ball was in every respect fully equal Lo its most brilliant predecessor. ‘The guests began to arrive as early as eight o'clock, the first comers having the advantage of securing @ choice of seats, and the extreme satisiuc- tion, among the fair portion of the company, of view- ing irom the most advantageous seats in the family circle and balcony the styles and voileta of the ladies and geutiemen who arrived aver, By nine o'clock the seats were ali occupied, and the siream of beauty and fashion set in laster and awaited Iin- patieuuly the signal for opening the ball.

Ulric, the son of a miller, Is ambitious Of distinction and glory, sels hts soul to imps of Satan for the desired promotions, and the twelve temptationseare the series of trials, wonders and Schievemeuts through which he is carried. The cast embraces some fifty characters and 260 auxillaries, including knights of the round table, courtiers, demons,,peasanuts, mummies, crusaders, Uishops, guards, priests of Ibis, millers, hunters, Egyptians, &c., @ trst class ballet troupe fresh from Europe and a powertul chorus. The action is iA in Flanders, partly in Sgypt and partly in tho iugdom ot Despair, and the argument, wita the Scenery, in an ancient convent, the mill of St. Do- nalus, tho vesper hymn, the twelve temptations, studio of Ebiis in the Kingdom of Despair, the ae- mon’s huatng ground and cataragt (real water), the mother’s charge, the combat to death, the grand tournament, the grand vallet, the palace of Bauodin, te triumphal arch and catuedral, the dungeons of the imquisivon, the Temple of Ibis, the Egyptian ruins, the Pyramids and Sphinxes, the grind bgyptian batlet, tue desert and distant view of & city 1m ames, the crowning transformation scene and other wonderful, startling, gorgeous and Indescribable things. For all practical purposes this 1s a suMctent syn- opsia of the arguinent of this extraordinary “spec- tacular and legendary romance.” The highest capabilities and most brilliant inventions of the aiuler, the costumer, the carpenter, the machia- st, &c,, are here crowded before us in @ serles of dazzling scenes, situations and tableanx, and the skull of the playwrights i weaving them Vogether in a connected story 18 here a secondary Matter, although the playwrights have conscien- ously eudeavored to beguile us with the idea that Uhe plot 1s tue main thing. But with such brilliantly Caparisoned knights of chivalry to charm the ladies, and wita such @ host of pretty women, and such fine displays of legs to bewitch the oid men, and With such gorgeous scenes aud groupings to delight \he boys and the girls, and with sucu a varicty of strange creatures and wonderiul things, intermixed with everyday people and everyday affairs, what more could be asked ? ‘rhe plot is sausfactory, with all Its trappings, and Mr. Boniface as Ulric, and Madame Fontst, a3 his Mother, struggling tor Lim against the demons, and Some others of the leading characters really are re- Murkably successiul in their eforts to convince the honse that the plot is after all the main attraction, Any way this extraordinary production is, we may say for Mr. Cole, the active manager, an timense hit, and promises something of a revival ot the sensation of the “Black Crook” and “ilumpty Dumpty.” it wall be given every night ull turtner notice. WALLACK’S THEATRE.--‘'School”’ again keeps at this establishment—that 18, Robertsoa’s exquisite comedy of “School.” The present revival of the pleco ia in many respects a decided improvement upon the original production last year. 1ts present setting 18 nov only more elaborate in design, but is in effect more beautifal—notably that of the firsi act, in which @ real cascade is made to blend very pret- tily with the artistte illustons of tie mimic surround- ings—and are of the highest order of theatrical ex- cellence. ‘the cast of the comedy, wita but few exceptions, is the same ag that of last year, and its original members did full justice to the repute previously achieved in their respective roles. Mr. Lester Wallack, as Jack Poyntz, was espe- cially happy im effect and evidenced in the persona- tion of the character all of the keen precepuon of the more delicate shades of high comedy humor and the graceful adandon of style which have placed himvat the head of that school of ert. Messrs, Owen Marlowe, John Gilbert, Charles Fisher aud J, H. Stoddart, among the gentlemen, and Miss kMe Gertoou, Miss Louise Moore and Mrs, John Sefton, among the ladies, were equally urtistic in style and interpretation of their respective rdles, ‘The comedy was thoroughly ppiores by @ large audience and passea of with cheerful ¢clat, and it will doubticss achieve a profitable term of popularity. ‘School’? will keep every night at Wallack’s until further notice, THEATRE FRANCAISE.—Tne sparkling opera of “Gencvieve de Brabant,’ which achieved such a splendid run at tuis nouse last year with Mme. Rose Beli and Mile. Desclauzas in the roles of Drogan and the fair Genevieve, respectively, was revived here Jast evening with all its original splendors, with Mrs. Howard Paul as Drogan and Mile. Guerrecti as Genvieve. It is almost needless to say that each suswained their part admirably, and were frequently encored during the evening. Messrs. Duchesne, Francis aud Genot were also entrusted with leading parts in the piece, and each acquitted Iunself very handsomely. ‘The choruses also ure ex- ceilent, and such being the case, the representation last evening could hardly have beep otherwise than @ briliiani success. The opera is placed upon the stage with all the accessories Of 118 beautiful origi- nal scenery and costumes, and was enjoyed last eveniug by quite @ large audience. The opera of “Genevieve” will be repeated every evening during the present week. | Woon's) Muskum--Accipenr to Miss Lisa Wener.--The new burlesque extravaganza of “Faust, or the Vicisslcudes of @ ‘Giri of the Pe- riod,’ was given at Wood’s Museum last evening before a crowded house. Tho piece 13 @ first rate caricature of the well known opera and 13 cram fuil of ‘palpable hits’ on events, things and persons that will be enjoyed by anybody ac ail familiar with ‘the ins and outs of metropolitan Ilie, General Grani's presents which he did accept, and the “aupald dog” which he did not accept, were not forgotien, and the iemale brokera, Who are making a sensalton, if not money, in Wall street, were dished up in a very laughable way. ‘fhe burlesque Was im every respect un catire success; and anybody Who 13 nol a mem- ber of tue Pat Men’s Association, but would like to should go aad see it, Jaugh and tien fat.

M, Ward, as Siebel, were excelient Ja their respective réies, The yieco passed off very nicely from beginning to eud, but was maried by an accident, which might have been very serious had iS not been for one of the actors—Mr, Collins. Miss Lisa Weber in the first sveue threw powder upon @ grate, and the blaze tat burst forth caught her dress. In @ second it was whirling about ber head, but Mr. Coiling rushed 1rom behind the scenes im the nick of time and suc- ceeded in quenching Une fames before they had done much damage. ‘The audience were greasy excited by the accident, and applauded the rescuer to the echo, Miss Weber seemed—witcn was quite natu. ral—rather frightened atthe reguit of her ‘demon- iacal demonstration,” bat she played the part throughout with a vim and zcat, a8 though nothing had occurred to aisturb the even tenor of the piece. KELLY & Leon's MINSTRELS.—Last night was the opening night of the talented troupe of minstrels known by the above name, and the little house, 720 Broadway, was weil filled by an appreciative and bighly respectable audience. ‘I'he only Leon” is the greatest munatrel of them all. His make-up of female characters, added to & natural ieminine voice, with a wondrous Jachity for accompishing every description of dance, charmed, enlivened and linmensely amused the audience. “When Sammy Comes Hiome,” “Shoo, Viy,”? “Norma, ta One Scene’ were malniy sustained vy Leon’s talents. As a vurle: operatic singer he {8 certain!y without a pi first part, wilich includet the entire vocal Struiental talent of the company, might be ei Tiched and improved by & minstrelsy selection of a higuer and more popular Cuaracter. In tus respect Ue programme was somewhat below the ordiuary Tun of talented minstrel companies. The envertain- ment olered, even With this excepdon, is Worth tae time and the cost; but there is # large margin yet lef for improvement aud euterprise, and in Herve’s t comic opera of “Le Pelit Faust,” which 1s pro- dl for Monday might, this will no doubt be sted. ‘onriH HALL.—A very pleasant eveni by the numerous audience called voget he euticing programme offered by Miss Ernest, at Dodworth Hall.

Commencing with “A Dollar oc Two,” then “Put Ung on Airs” and eventually golug ‘Up in @ Bal- Joon” was irresistibie, Park THEATRE, GROOKLYN.—This neat and cosy theatre mauaged, ag itis, by a lady so aniversally popular (Mis. F. B. Conway), was crowded last evening to repletion, Crowded is not the word, It was “cramuned.” Warly tn the day the reserved seats Lad been disposed of and at night the people came in hordes, Many were turned away, and there were many who would not be turned away, but insist. ed on paying their fee and taking their chances for even a peep atthe show. Way was this 80? Partly be- cause ly was at the Park theatre, partly because that theatre was Mra, Conway's, but more particularly because Mr. Barney Wiliams and bis estimable and talented lady were to make their first appear this bouse of the drama tn Brooklyn, The ciever and cheerful Barney and his amiable and admirable spouse have heretofore had evidences of the estvem with which the veopie of Brooklyn regard them avd View bad every reason 62 beligve that lads evening their reception wonld be cordial ia ‘he extreme because their own popular. ty was, for the time belng, added to that of 4 lady whose popularity in Krookiya can uot be aueationed. ‘The pieces preaeniee wero the ‘Fairy Circle” and “Customs of the Country.” In the first Menwoned play both Mr. and Mrs, Willlams ap- » an and demonstrate that, however sup! tous, m, Wever fond of fun and frivolity, however ready foe ,4 Joke or a jig ao true Irishman may be, thera fy “493 an undercurrent of morality and mantis “in his character which can and does gp»..t forth and show itself whenever the occam "requires, And, furthermore, tnas in @ trae bria YOMan may be found a similar stream of geouine ma @t¥ and undaunted as well as un- doudted wonragh, "S$ that no adverse circumstances, no temptation aa.

From beginning to end last evening there wasa constant hubbub of laughter apd applause.
