A fine audience greeted Captain Mayne Reid last evening at Steinway Hall to hear his lecture upon Lord Byron. Though it rained the unfavorable weather did not prevent the gathering of a brilliant array of fashion and intellect, anxious at once to pay tribute to the revered memory of the Eng- lish bard and testify to the esteem and appreciation which the lecturer nas inspired in this country, not only by bis distinguished Mterary works but by the courageous opposition which he so reso- lurely flung in the teeth of New England Bohe- mian transceudentalists. The venerable James W. Gerard presided, and upon the stage was the siivered poet Bryant and the famous naturalist, Pro- Tessor B, Waterhouse Hawkins. Mr. Gerard, in presenting Captain Keid, referred to the lecturer's eminent military services, the extraordinary fer- lity of his mind, and the rippling fuency of his pen. He pointed out the poor reward which by courtesy 18 styled compensauon for literary ser- vices—i0 the struggles which glowing mind has with sordid matter—und to whe extraordinary ease by which @ man can achieve lortune by servitude to polities, but which the lecturer tad wisely negiected to do, Captain Keid then came lorward, fashionably atuired in light brown pauls, closely buttoned cuat @nd canary kids. He began bis discourse by considering the won- derful succession of events which by turns hetgnt- ened and darkened the history of Europe and Amer- ica during the bloody days preceding the reign of terror, fits address was conceived in the dramatic spirit, and in gesture, personal presence, pose of the body, @ careless, and, therefore, an artistic atu- tude, he threw animation into his delivéry and fire and electricity into his vigorous imagery. Metaphor abounded tn the eloquent sentences he employed in speaking of the tnfant agonies of the young co.onies, and his choice of language was exquisite, and the ar- gument and unity of the exordium per- fect. Having considered the effect of the terrible events which clouded the skies of empires, when Byron was born, he gave some account of the early years of the greatest poet of modern times; of the siiaple surroundings of his early years; of the tender care of @ watchful and loving mother, the sudden stroke of fortune by which George Gordon Byron became a peer of Engiand at the age of eleven years in 1799; of his modesty in his position of greater dignity, and of nis youthful aptitude for poesy. ie tuen spoke of his personal character—a character falsely blackened by defamation, and meanly assatied by slander ‘and calumny, He scorched and withered the petty maidens who were delivered of the foulest sensation of mouern imes— not by invective and denunciation—but on, how they would have felt!—by omission. Madame Stowe was not even meutioned. He then considered how Lord Byron had exposed the holiowness, falsity and humbuggery of modern society; now he bied the literary men of their thunder by applying the snarp lancet of bis satire; how he offended nations— Kngiand, Austria, Russia, Portugal, Italy and Greece—and therefore stood against mankind soll- tary and alone. He gave the memory of that poeti- cal toady and educated parasite, ‘fom Moore, a few grains of intellectual arsenic, for having been so treacherous to the memory of his great peer; for seconding lies, and allowing the character of a man who had bequeathed tim the most hon- ored task of his Iife to be cheap in the mouths of his foul traducers, Moore who sought the halis and society of the great nad been borne to his grave in a hired hearse without a utled mourner. He gave this faithless and wicked biographer of Byron a deserved review for a breach of trust second only to the outrageous meanness which made Griswold, as Poe's executor, an inta- mous kuave. The separation between Byron and his wife was to save angestate from the bailiffs, and Moore's destruction of the memoiré was influenced by money; it had about it the click of goid. of Lord Byron's generosity, nobility, manii- hess, modesty, outspoken manner, the lecturer discoursed eloquently and was loudly applaudea. He entered into no critical analysis of lis works, but read copiously from their splendid catalogue. “There was a Sound of Revelry by Night’ was executed with feeling and poetic lervor; but “Man- fred” was the best—the moody cynic standing on the Jungfrau Mountain, about to take the final leap. ‘The grandeur of thought and the exalted expression can be pictured by no living tongue, but as far as this masterpiece of tragedy can be rendered the portrayal of Captain Reid was superior. He recited jrom various poems and closed with bis famous stanzas on the ocean. HOW A BURGLAR WAS CAUGHT IN NEWARK. On three different occasions within a comparar tively short period the boot and shoe factory of Mr. W. J. Dudley, located on Market street, Newark, was broken into by burglars ana various quantities of ma- nufactured gooas carried off. On the last occusion—a week ago last Saturday night or Sunday morning—one of the thieves seemed to be determined on making a large haul. In further- ance of this he discarded fis own worn- out moccasins and provided bimself with a bran new pair, leaving the old ones behind. These, it was perceived, must have belonged to a lame man, one being smaller than the other, and trou bled with chronic curvature. Yesterday the detectives dis- covered @ lame man at the Market street depot having on his feet a pair of Mr. Dudley's gaiters, as subsequently identified by the latter. The prisoner was removed to the station house, where the same shoes were tried and sound to fit like kid gloves. He gave his name as Charles Hogan, irom New York, and 1s heid for trial on the charge ot burglary. ANLETHOPIAN MONSTER IN WEWARK. Yesterday forenoon, in Newark, N. J., @ negro, named Thomas Bopner, about twenty-eight years of age and exceedingly repulsive in figure and features, was arrested and taken before Justice Milis, to an- swer the charge of indecent exposure. The com- plant was made by Mr. William B, Guild, Jr., a weil known member of the legal profession, who made affidavit that he saw the prisoner seize hold of a little girl, the daughter of @ respectable citizen in Pennsylvania avenue, just prior to the negro’s arrest, and tiendignly insuit the little one. Another similar complaint was made by asecond girl. The prisoner confessed his guile and admitted that ne was convicted of like outrages @ year ago and served a term in prison. A week or 80 ago little girls were assaulted in broad daylight by @ negro answering the prisoner's description, but he denies all knowledge of the matter. The Judge advised him thatif he was in some countries he would be hung for such an offence, and fully com- mitted bim for trial, SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Association of Sunday School Teachers was held lass evening at the Fourth avenue Presbyterian church, corner Twenty-second street, Notwithstand- ing the stormy character of the weather the church ‘was well filled, and a majority of those presen were ladies, S. W. CLARK first addressed the meeting, ane the President then introduced The Rev. THomas K. BegcHER, who prefaced his remarks by stating that be had come two hundred and eighty mues to speak to them, passing over the Erie Rairoad, which some call “the road of death.” He had taken his life in starting, the same as any foreign missionary. He had, it seemed, gained the reputation throughout the State of very successtul teaching, but thought ne could not advise them, a8 many seemed to anticipate, of any spectal course of procedure in the city, nis feld of labor being in the mountains. However, he could say a few things of general application. He had learned early 1a his church experience that ne could con- vert no one, and in junday school, though it might be possivie to win great suecess in the number of scholars, (hey Were not converted by the fact of their presence, nor a knowledge of lessons.

He warned his comrades not to have any- thing to do with the genius. After transactin, some o:her unimportant business the meeting ad- journed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Frigate Sabine at Gibraltar. WASHINGTON, April 18, 187 OMcial despatches from Commodore Walker, of the United States frigate Sabine, dated Gibraltar, March 23, report his arrival at that place on the evening of the previous day. Ali were well on board. The Savine was to sail for Maderia with the frat tale wind, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. AMUSEMENTS Boorn's TaeaTRE,—One of the most brilliant au. dicnves of the season welcomed the return of Joun S. Clarke to the American stage last evening. The inclement weather had no depressing effect either on the size or quality of the audience, When Clarke made his appearance it was some minutes before the applause would allow him to proceed. He seemed genuinely moved by its evident heartiness, and his first few speeches were not devoid of a consequent emparrassment in their delivery, That over, he commenced acting in earnest. He was always @ genuine comedian, because he always possessed the frst principle of comedy—tun, His extraordinary facial power, rapid as electricity in its © has acquired a finepess that gives its broad ¢ smoothness as necessary im true comedy trage: do not like comparisons which are not needed in summing the merits of an artist in any branch of art; but in defining Clarke's pl the American stage we would not call him, with the English critics, a modern Munden, for his fun is too hearty to fit that grand old man’s repute. We would rather style him the American Liston. It 18 to be hoped that his broad. nearty comedy will have @ good effect in checking that tendency to over-elaboration, in which fun, killed by too nice @ dissection, gives up the ghost and becomes mere neatness, His assumption of the arti- fictality of the militia major was consistent to the fun of the character {rom first to last, and achieved to perfection the object of its creatlon—amusement derived {rom harmiess eccentricity. Tue actor was honored with a double cali at the end of eacn act; but @ far truer proof of the thorongh- ness of his art lay in the continuous roars of laughter that waited on his gait, his speech, on each gesture, on every glance of the fun- tilled eye. la short, such legitimate mirth has not been provoked among such a large audience since Burton played Outtie 1n Chambers street, ‘The other parts of the comedy were well rendered and weil dressed, Coyne lias rather underrated Mrs. Featherly and Icebrook; still Hamiiton played the latter neatly, and gave to those who had witnessed his recent success in Macaui proof that he could play the modern gentleman nearly a3 well as the Scotch cateran, Hunt” Clarke appeared in After the “Widow “Toodles,” and in the drunken scene achieved a second triumph. He looked for @ big success. Mr, Greeley, who sat In an upper box, laughed and ap- plauded heartily, seeming as fully carried away by the humor ana wit of the comedian as the youngest boy In the audience. From the success of the two pieces it is to be presumed they will hold the stage some time, It is but just to note that the part of i Featherly was admirably rendered by Miss De ar. GRAND Opera Hovuse.—From the house, notwith- standing the Nova Scotian April showers of Easter Monday, running into the night, and from this sign of the eleventh week of the “Twelve Temptations,”’ there is no telling when these temptations will cease todraw. There is so much of variety, of gorgeous costumes, groupings, processions and pictures; so many pretty women in tne dances, and such diver- sifled exemplifications of beautiful legs; so much of the grotesque and the comical intermin- giead with the serious and the supernatu- ral, 80 much of brilliant scenery aud stun- ning mechanical eflects —in tine, such a bewilderment of bewitching girls and fearful demons, and impos- sible combinations and transformations, tuat it wiil probably require require six months for Fisk him- self to begin to comprehend the grand and tucom- prebensibie rigmarole. Incompxenensibie | Not a bit of It, It draws and it pays. The people like it because it gives them 80 inuch for the money of what they like to see of the most beautiful things in the world. The special feature 1- troduced last night was the grand Amazonian dance, in which the dressing and the dancing are very rich and very unique. Fisk has the secret of success, especially in New York—if you undertake to do a thing for the public do tt without fear of the cost, aud your mouey will come back again. It is the grand idca upon which the HERALp has become the great vewspaper of the world, and upon this idea, on the right tack, ‘there is nosuch word as tail.” iy Otympic THEATRE—‘“MAcbETH.”’—The burlesq ue of Macbeth was given for the firat time last evening at the Olympic, and, although the weather was not exactly what theatregoers would have desired, there was quite a good house. The burlesque is quite a good one, and although in several respects it does not come up to the standard of Hamlet, which preceded 1s, there is enough funin it to sat- isfy the most exact.ng. The play is well mounted and the scenery is very fine, espectally so in the banqueting hall and the cave of the witches. The choruses and the music were very good in the first act, but somehow or another the chorus did notdo weil ip the lavt ecenes of the play. ‘The closing part or the first uct “to the echo” was magnificently rendered and was deservedly encored. Of course Mr. George L. Fox was the life of the play, and he certainly did burlesque Macbeth to a degree that kept the audience in roars of laughter from the be- ginning tothe end of the play. The dagger scene and that where he encounters the ghost of Banquo seated In achair, coolly smoking a cigar, and with one eye badly bunged up, were side-spiltters, and the imperturbabie gravity of Fox during these “trving ordeals” but added to tne hilarity of the audience. His make up in the second act, after he had made the King dy-nast-y, was of the most original and truly historicat style, and his first appearance tn his familiar habiliments was hailed with shouts of laughter, The grand wind-up was immense, and the way that Macduif laid on until ‘enough said’’ began the fight made the galleries frantic with enthusiasm. Miss Marie Longmore as Mrs. Macbeth and Mr. C. K. rox as ut were excelient. It may be said, in conciusi that the piece is a complete success and 13 certain to havea long run. BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MuUSIC.—Kaster Monday was made the occasion by the Brooklyn peovie to enjoy the appearance of the celebrated American comedian Hackett m the oharacters of Rip Van Winkle, and Felix O'Callaghan, in the comedy of “His Last Legs,” atthe Academy of Music. Despite the neavy storm which prevailed all the afternoon and poured down in torrents at night the immense building was filled with a brilliant audience composed of the fashion and intelligence of bouh cities, attracted by memories among muny of Hackett’s lormer triumphs and desire on the part of others to witness the famous actor now so sel- dom appearing upon the stage. His impersonation of Rip Van Winkle is bis own version of Wasaing- ton Irving's tale inthe “sketch Book,” and differs widely from Jefferson’s iterpretalion, He was remarkably happy last night in his rendi- tion of this peculiar character, and was Greet with round after round of applause. As Felix O'Callaghan, mm the comedy of “ils Last Legs,” the disungulshed actor carried the house by storm, and demonstrated that advancing ycars have neither abated his vigor nor diminished his great fund of humor. He was well supported in botn pleces by @ large corps of popular-artists, inciuaing Mrs. Wolcovt, Mra. Mordaunt, Mrs. Carmelyte, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Aiken and Mr. Edwaras, and tne eatuire performance was So eminentiy successiul that an erfort will be made to secu:e its repetition. PaRK THEATRE, BROOKLYN. —Mrs. D. P, Bowers’ reappearance in her renowned 70/¢ in “Lady Aud- ley’s Secret,” at the Park theatre, was, despite the uninviting condition of the weather and the nume- Tous attractions in the amusement line attendant upon the opening of Easter week, greetea by a fine house, The fair artist never appeared in better spirits, in her brilliant, versatile, impassioned Lady Audley than upon this occasion. In the second and third acts she was particularly enchant- ing, and heid as though spell-bound, in some of the powertul points of pathos with which this beautiful drama abounds, the attention of the au- dience. Mr. J. McCollom excelled himself as Robert Audley, and, together with his lady, was called before the curtain more than once. Mark Bates’ George Talboys was a very acceptable charac- terization, while FE, Lamb, as the wiley drunkard, Luke Marks, was also equal wo the task axsignea him. Marie Bates’ portraiture of the natural and vivacious Alicia Was very creditable to her. With one or two other exceptions the support was not in keeping with the requirements of the play. ACADEMY OF MUSIC—CONCERT FOR THE SHRL- TERING ARMS.—It would be dificult to match this concert in artistic merit, and as a pecuniary success it was indisputable. The programme had on it the names of Miss Kellogg, Miss Sterling, Miss Anne Mehlig and tne unapproachable Milis, Sarasate, the great violinist, the picked = members of the Philharmonic Society and a superb chorus. Miss Kellogg sang divinely in her usual ciear, sympathetic, light soprano style. The Phiilar- monic Society, Miss Kellogg and Miss Sterling were the principal soloists. We have rarely heard Miss Kellogg sing better. The Philharmonic orchestra and a large and eificient chorus from the Berge Choral Union appeared at both services. UNION LEAGUE CLUB THEATRE.—Despite the rain and the eccentric movements of the clerk of the weather last night, a brilliant and fashton- able audience—ail in full dress—attended the second representation of Donizetti's magnifi- cent opera “Maria de Rohan” at this theatre. For an hour before the curtain rose a throng of liveried eautpages drove up to tne entrance of Uie theatre and opena-cloaked forms jostied each other at the brilliantiy iighted entrance, ‘The cast was as follows:—Maria de Roban, Mrs, } Philip A. Guiager; Armando de Gondi, Misa An- tonietta Rouconi; Riccardo Count of Chalats, Mr. G. Boy; Enrico, Duke of Ohevreuso, Mr. Giorgio Ron- cont; De Fiesque, Mr. J. D.

Dr. Verren, delivered in the Church du St, Esprit om Sunday last, seems to have been misunderstood. The learned and eioquent divine, in speaking of the idea entertained by certain sects that children who died without baptism did not go to beaven, but w an intermeaiate condition, removed aike from the de- lights of Paradise and the torments of the lost, men- toued it as One of the errors of the past, and drew thrilling and touching picture of the terrivie e: cesses to which that doctrine had led fanatics in former ages. The theory of baptism. which he then expounded was one of perfect mercy, grace and love—a holy outer embiem of inward reconciltation to the Saviour. MAILS FOR EUROPE.
