Were a stranger of Tetinement coming to New York to ask us where he would probabiy feel most at home for amusement And happiest for an evening without great exertion or intense excitement, we should, unhestiatingly and Saus invidiousness, say—‘At the Fifth avenue thea- tre.”’ It1s not immense or grand, but it has the look and something of the atmosphere of a boudolr—a feeimg that, by the way, is often characteristic of Walack’s too.

The celenrated aria “Come per me sereno,”” in which many ambi- tious beginneré have failed, was so marked a suc- ceas with Miss Rimer, that the hearty appl which rewarded it gave her the é/an ter the nighi, and, from that mement, she contiolied alike the stage and the audience. The duet with Elvino, in the Ofth scene of the first ect, was also charmingly executed. In the seventh scene. “Son, mio bene, del zefiro smante,’’ Was still better, and Amina eeemed to gather fresh force and sweetnese as she proceeded until, in the first sleep-walking scene, where she enters the apartment of Rodvif> and recliues, she took the house by storm. Her upper notea were pure, thrilling and true, beyond ai! that we have heard of Miss Romer beiore, upon several occusion: when we have taken pleasure in barony and commend. ang the progress of a lady who ie already a bril- ant acquisition to our lyric stage. Iu the second sonnambalist scene, tn the Jast act (the German's have divided the origina! two acts of sel- Jini’s libretto into three), Miss Komer’s singing and acting both took her warmest friends by surprise. There were meiody, taste, feeling aud Vigor thet would have added laureis to the wreath now worn Dy artists whom the public here and abroad have long seen accustomed to extol. Sue was rewarded with continua! applause and many very rich and beaufinul floral tokens, one of which was elegantiy mounted on 4@ costly terraced stand of silver. Mr. Havelman, as Elvipo, was in his best voices and san; in ue duets superbly. Bis fine aria, “Ab Perche Nov Posso Udiarte,” was a masterpiece. The well known artist Mr. Vierling, as Rodolfo, was good throughout. putin the exquisite “Vi rav@iso olaoghi ameue,” in thetirst act,curpassed bimself. Miss Hafner, as Lisa, acquitted herself very creditabily, and Mrs. Hitlech, as Teresa, de- senves special menuon for her quiet and careful rendering of @ subordinate, yet essential part. But the crown of the evening reverted to Mise RoMer in the enchenting arte at the Close, “Ah, non gainge,” svhich has become classic | in the annals of operatic effort.

CoNceRT ov THE CAUROH MUSIC ASSOCIATION. — Stetuway Hall presented last night the most brik lant appearance that ever hall or theatre tn this city displayed before. An audtence cemposed of the <lite of metropolitan society, all in evening dress, would alone excite attention and surprise as to what possible musical entertalumgn® could attract them. We are accustomed to take a practical view of all public entertainments of this kind, and waturally Jook upon such an attendance as that whichgreeted the first concert of the Church Music Assoeletion as acheering sign of present and prospective success. Even the Nilsson concerts did not shew such an evidence of fashion and popularity, Ap ‘orchestra numbering seventy-two 1ustruments ands chorus of 280 voices filled the stage and temporary . presenticg a very imposing appearance. The soloists Were Madame Anna ishop, Jars, Jenny Kempton, Mr. William 8 Leggat and Mr. H. f, Danks. Dr. James Pech was the conductor. The programme consisted of the lovely overture to “Luriine,” one of the moat aracteristic of Wal- lace A works) Ha giies th Imperial Mass and the opera of * a,"? by Weber. The perform- ance showed frog hos @ degree of perfection highly creditable tothe association and their excel- lent conductor, Dr. Pech, Among tke chorus we recognized many eminent artista, and the spirit, ensemble, expression and will shewn by beth singers ond orchestra evidenced long paipsiaking rehearsals and confidence in the conducter, Weber's exquisite work, with its fres, bubbling melodies, of 4 Moorish tinge, Was given admirably. The second concert takes place on Tuesday, February 21, Ontside the ball last evening a line of carriages extended be- end Third avenue, When weaith and fasdion come forward so liberally to the aid of art, there are bright prospects sor it In this city.

Miler, De- freese & Co.; was present when the explosion took place; the boiler was constructed by Caldwell, of Newburg; it was twenty feet long, five feet on the rear, 81x feet on the front; it was.a locomotive tubu- lar botler; 1 had used it about two months; bought it {rom a Pine street broker named Mitchell; I had been informed that ‘the boiler had been only used for three or six months before I purchased it; Nicholas Stephens was my engineer; he snowed me a certificate before I employeu him; was satisficd with his recommendations; was in the main shop when I beard the explosion; I thought at one time that my engineer did not carry water enough, and told him so; that was the only time that I nad reason to complain of him; he was a temperate man. in answer to a juror—I had the boiler repaired once during the two months that 1 used it; it was re- paired by Mr. Vogt; 1 did net ask Mr, Vogt as tothe condition of the boiler at that fime; my engincer had nothing te do but look after his boiler; | think that Mr. Kennedy told me that he was a competent eugi- neer; I bought the boiler on speculation, not intend- ing touseit atthe time; I don’t know how k there Was a fire under the bolier before it expi we used ceal for iuel; my orders were to carry no more than fifty pounde of steam; thirty pounds would have been enough for us; had heard that it carried L00jpounds where 1 had been previously used; 1 did not have the boiler insured, becauge [did not believe that it was necessary; it Was noBused en the day previous to the expiosien; we.ouly used it every other day; don’t know wuether the feed pipe was frozen or not; P have ran an engine myself; the crown Sheet ef the boiler had omce vesn burned aud repaired; the repairs were pronounced well doue by my engineer; { have had three engineers in my eni- ploymeut; ene jeft me voluntarily, ene I discharged, ‘the last was kilied; the jatter never complained to Ine of the condition of the boiler; 1 nouged the in- spectors to inspect the buller befere 1t Was put up, but tvey never did so. TESTIMONY OF HENRY VOGT. Henry Vogt, sworn, deposed:—i am a botier- iuaker; I went to Yonkers with Mr. Miier io exam- ime the bolier in question before he purchased it; I examined the imside of the boller, and :ound it weil constructed; found oue patch oa the bridge wail, but no evidence of leaks; uexi suw the boiler 1 Willamsburg; was called upou to repair it about Uwe months ago; did not see It myself at that time; about six Weeks ago I received an order to repair uw ieak in the crown sheet, to caulk it; 1 saw the belier at (his Ume, and went into tie furnace; found that there Was 3 leak on Ue crown sheet, an@ the tWo sliceLs composing it were sprung; saw two Dlis- ters near the seam; did not examine the boiler thoroughly. In answer to a juror—When I founda the seam of the boiler sprung I conciuded that it was done by carrying low Water; Mr. Wai was the engineer at thal time; the crown sheet was perfectly straight when I examined the boller at Yonkers; [ think ihe boiler was as well constructed aa any of its kind; have seen the boiler sinve its explosion; | think it exploded from a lack of water; the top of the crown sheet looked as if it had been burned; when I first saw the boiler { thougtt it could safely carry seventy-five pounds of steam; .I believe that the betler parted, at the tine of 1's explosion, near the centre of the furnace; as the seam 1s the weakest part of a boiler, the partmg provably occurred there; I think that if there had been plenty of waver lu the veiler it would have been sate irom explosion ata pressvre of seventy-five steam alter it had beeu repaired by me, TESTIMONY OF THOMAS F. PO Thomas F. Powers, sworn, depozea:. neer and machinist and inspecter of steam boilers; saw the poiler in question after it exploded, bat Not previously; Muller, Detreese & Co. had reported thelr boiler to our office in the latter part ot Novem- ber; I theu ordered Mr. Farron to calton tne firm ana make an external examination of their bolier and t= appliances; a day or two afterwards Mr. Far- roa reported wat the boiler appearea to be a good aud safe one; on. the 22d of the month the engineer cail at the office for per- sonal exanunation; J agked nim then in ed to the bracing and gemera! condition of the boiler, and I found that lis answers were cerreet; when 1 examined it alter its explosion there were about seventy-lwo braces in the crown sheet; I should consider the botler safe at a pressure of eighty pounas if tt had been properly sappued with Water; J think that low water was the cause of the explosion; the water used im the boiler was brack- ish and therefore likely to foam; under such cir- cumstances it Would require an expert and careful engineer to know how tne water stoed in the botier generaliy. The witness detailed at length the vartous causes of boller explosion but concluded that want of water was the cause in this case, He had beew told by @ Young man named Miller that the engineer, Stephens, had been in the habit of holding down tae safety vaire when letting off a sixty-pound steam pressure, becanse the noise of the a steam was disagreeable to him, I think that there must have been @ pressure of over seventy pounds Oo! steam on the beiler when it exploded. Ata late hour the énguest was adjourned until Monday evening next. ALLEGED LAR: ENY. A Queer Case—Employer and Employe— “Beating” @ Servant Oat ot Her Wages. Juilla M.
