Fé MADAME BLANCHARD’s CONCERT.—This lady, a soprano and teacher of music in Brooklyn, had a complimentary concert last night at Clinton Avenue Congregational church, which was moderately at- tended. The performance comprised selections from Haydn, Chopin, Rossini, Handel, Wely, Toplift, Liszt, Adam, Suppe, Hummel and Macirone, Madame Blanchard has a soprano voice of conside- rable sweetness and high cuitivation, and one better calculated for such @ work as the “Ruth and Na- om” than the glittering cavatina from ‘“0telio,”” Her school 1s pure and classical, and as a teacher she must be unexceptionable, George Morgan made ove of his greatest successes tn a brilliant and artis- tic rendering of Wely’s well known “Offercoire,’? Suppe’s overture to tho “Poet and Pea- sani” and a sparkling arrangement or his own on “The Last Kose of Summer.” This success was particularly evidenced in his making an effect with one of the worst organs we have heurd in achurch for @ Jong time, an alfair which can only be designated as a box of whistles, with weak diapason and ae and ‘“‘screechy” solo stops. Miss Alide ‘Topp played two of her best iano pieces— Chopin’s “scherzo, in B minor” and Liszt's “Rhapsodie Hongroise.” We have never heard her play 80 well betore. There was more poetry in her conception of the composer’s ideas ‘and electricity in her touch than we gave her credit for. Seneatn her fingers the tones of the Steinwa: grand rolied out with that graduated power an arly distinctness that betokens the great artisi. fir. Romtnertz of the Arions, sang & couple of se- lections, and a very excellent choir rendered a chorus from the “Creation,” an English glee and one of Hummel’s works in splendid style. Artisti- cally the concert was aa entire success, Tur European Cincvs.—This colossal establish- ment opened on Monday last at the Empire Skating Rink, and inaugurated a brief season under very auspicious circumstances. The grand parade which took place through the city yesterday was quite an interesting spectacle, and, together with presenting a fair idea of the romance of spangles, showed the large resources of this great bippodrome. The entertainment at ths Rink last night was successful in every respect. An immense and admiring throng surrounded the arena, which was brilliantly illumimated. The programme included pony tricks, acts of horsemanship by Miss J. Watson and Mr. C. Denzer, and by the accom- plished little “Romeo,” bareback feats by Signor Sebastian, acrobatic performauces by Mr. C. Conrad and his two clever little children; somersaults on horseback, Mr. Frank Pastor; double trapeze, Messrs. Franklin and Layede; champion hur- die act, La Jeune Burt,~ and the four horse act by Signor Sebastian. The per- formance was brought to a close by Mr, Pierce entering @ cage of lions which showed excel- lent appetites and a desire to take a stro!! among the audience fora tender morsel. The witty and well pomted jokes of the clowns (Messrs. Long and Aymart), the bold and daring feats of the equestrians, the excellent training displayed by the horses, tumbling and ucrobatic exilbitions generaily, tu paited to. the entériainment a pleasurable excite- ment, and the performers were throughout greeted with loud tokens of approval. After a short stay at the Rink the Buropean Circus will visit the princt- pal towns along the Hudson; tience to Canada and the Weatern states, SANAUSCHEK AT THE COURT OF VERSAILLES.— ‘This celebrated German tragédienne arrived in Paris @ short time since after @ tour through Germany, She haa scarcely been in the French capital two days when she was waiteajupon by an alde-de camp of the imperial Court with the flattering news that tne Empress Eugénie would ve happy to have her pay her avisit. Mile. Janauschek had then a pri- vate audience with her Imperial Majesty, which lasted over two hours. The Emperor was present during @ portion of the time, and complimented ia the lighest terms the great tragcédienne, whom he had seen some years ago on the stage in Germany. Few artists have had such a flattering acknowledge- ment paid to their talents.

Among the donors were mentioned several scientific societies from abroad and a large number of private gentlemen. Captain Chartes W. Raymond, of the United Stutes Corps of Engineers, was then introduced, and read a paper on the extent and ramifications of the Yukon river, in ‘Alaska Territory, and the, general features of our recent acquisition. The Captain be- gan with an account of the appearance of the natives and their manners on his arrival at St. Michaels, Judging from the description, those interesting ano- Tigines will make quite a unique addition to our voling population. In reference totne Esquimaux dog it 1s asserted that he 1s not only cowardly, mean aud sneaking, but that when no food can be had he makes quite a satisfactory meal out of a man’s only pair of boots. The captain aad his party, Well provided with ammunition and pro- visions, started up the river in @ small steamer called the Yukon. A journey of over seven days brought them to a place called Amanavoskl. The river is very tortuous and filled with sandbars, They passed many Indian villages.

On wl t of we river near Fort Yukon game was abundant and the appearance of the country rather favorable. After determining the topographical limits of Alaska on the British Canadian side the party ran up the American flag and whistled Yankee Doodle. Taking a general view of the Indians they discovered that the further they went from the coast the better became the character of the people. They spent &@ month at Fort Yukon, and had a good time hunting and fishing when not otherwise engaged. ‘The journey back to St. Michaels, of over 1,400 iniles, ‘was filled with adventure. had to abandon their boat at one point of tue river, owing to is shallowness, and to strike across the country, over hills ranging from 300 to 2,000 feet high, and floally track the coast and reached their ship at St. Ml- chacis.

Six were secured, brought back to Uridgeport and lodged in jail. A guard was piaced on the train, and it proceeded lo New York. The Boston express was also heavily guarded, and a strong body of military and police prevented any person getting on at bridge- port who had not purchaséd a ticket.
