Booth’s Theatre. “La Morte Civile’ was produced at this house to @ rather sparse audience, which reflects very unfa- Vorably on the taste of the NewYork public. ‘The réle of Conrad is one of the best parts assumed by the great tragedian, and as a poweriul representa- | tion of human emotion has, perhaps, no superior. The passion depicted is not violent, but its intensity and feeling touches the hearts of the audience. ‘The scene of the escaped convict with his daugh- and his sorrow at her indifference and dist is one of the most poweriul pieces of acting hy ever seen. The sorrow depicted by the man leads naturaliy up co his death, whica is the cul- minariug point. the play.

Though the dramatist has not dove bis work a5 weil as might be desired he has still given a sufficiently good dramatic story for representa- tion On the stage to interest am audience. The acst last evening included all the members of the company at this house, with the addition of Miss Rosa Sinclair, a new acquisition to the boaras of Miblo’s. Miss Sinclatr played the dual character of Hilda and Miss Lawtoa, but did not show to advan- tage tn so h snd dramatic a part. Miss Burke Played the part of Zellau with much more estect and appreciation of the character in wiica she was cast.

The entertainment at this house last night was a@complete change on that of all previous per- | formances given there, It was variety, with all the principal periormers female artists, many of whom exhibited considerable ability im their re, spective lines of business. The advent of a tul- bana of female minstrels is something of an inno- vation in New York amusements, and the recep- tion the ladies of the minstrel troupe met with last night shows that New Yorkers are ever ready to go to see anything that 1s new, tresu or excit- ing. The house was well filled with a most appre- clative audience, but the management might with propriety cutdown the entertainment to bring i¢ within reasonable limits s0 as to enable people to get home betore midnight.

In the meantime his companions sought recreation uncer a great variety of circumstances | and under conditions most agreeable to them- | selves. The new Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Bristow, attracted a great dealof attention and was every- where the subject of observation and comment.

The most jovial party in the company was the Hon.

A BRILLIANT NUMBER. HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR JULY, 1874. CONTENTS. The London Atheneum pays the following com. — pliment to one of our operatic favorites of last season: “Neither the voice nor the style of Signor Campanini bas been injured by his transatlantic trip. This is‘@ great comiort to those amateurs who cling to the pure school of Italian vocaliza- | tion, for Signor Campaunini has now taken the | position vacant through the retirement of Signor | Mario and the death of Signor Giuglini. He ts im, measureably the superior of the last-mentioned artist, botn as actor and singer. Signor Campa- nini shows also infinitely more dramatic talent than Mario did at the same period of his pro- fessional career.” ANOTHER OAR AOOIDENT, About eleven o’clock on Sunday night as George | Barroni, au Italian, aged forty years and residing | at No. 231 Sixth street, Williamsburg, waa jumping | off the platform of car No, 31, of the Kast New York line, as the car was going down Broadway, vetween Fourth and Pith streets, le stumbled | and fell under the wheels, crushing both legs in a irigntful manner.
