Apart irom ail con- sideration of then oble object to be served the bill Prepared for the entertainment of the public was suMicient to have attracted an immense sudience. A8 much of the most popular entertainments of the day ag could be crowded into a series of per- formances, running over nearly five hours, was given in 8 manner to leave notaing to be desired. Waliack’s and Daly’s companies supported the chief weight of the entertainment, but received eMctent aid trom other theatres. The variety theatres and winstrel troupes also brought their sprightly caricatures and comic songs (to add to tbe amusement of the hour, “st. Patrick’s Day Parade,” by Harrigan and Hart, was especially enjoyed for the richness and absurdity of its humor. It was something new for the audience, and was, therefore, ali the more heartily wel- comed, Although @ road caricature it is wholly free trom coarseness, and can be enjoyed by those against whom it i¢ levelled as much as by the outside word. The programme included the fourth act of “the School fur Scandal,” by the members ol the Pith Avenue company ; the sscond act of “Partners jor Lite,’ by Wailack’s company. Dodworth's Baud and Dowling's Ninta Regiment Band played a@ series of brilliant operatic selec- tions, whieh were much admired, and the day’s performance was brought to a close with aelec- ons trom Soeridan’s mock tragedy, “Tue Critic.” ne benelit was given under the management of Mr. Augustin Daly, to whom great praise is due Joc the smoothness with which the series of per- formancea were given. The receipts were very large. Over $3,000 were taken at the doors, and it 18 calculated that tickets to a like amount were sold outside. Amateur Entertainment. On Tuesday evening, October 27, a new society play will be presented at the Lexington Avenue Opera House (Terrace Garden), the autnoress be- ing Mrs, Robert W. Nathan, who will appear in the principal role, The play deals with o subject of live interest, “Speculation,” and the occasion of its presentation wili be also a testimonial to the Jair autnoress by her amateur friends. The tulents and accomplishinents of Mrs. Nathan as an ama- teur actress have been frequently devoted to purposes of charity, and her services in this line as well as her remarkable bistrionic abilities should attract a large and fasbionaole assemblage on the occasion reierred to. Tickets are forsale at Scmrmer’s, 701 Broadway, and at Carleton’s, under Flith Avenue Hotel. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Twenty-two theatres are in full swing in the French capital. ‘M. Massenet has just completed a new orchestral suite on Shakespearian subjects. Mr. Charles Pope has been very successfal in St, Louis in the tragedy of ‘*Sarason.”” The irrepressible offspring of Madame Angot turns up in the most out of the way places.

Itis the most de- cided dramatic bit that the metropolitan boards | have known ior ye The Lira Zspanot, a journal in Madrid pretend- tug tobe an autnority in musical matters, say! “The recent performance at tho National Opera House of the celebrated opera ‘Der Freischutz,’ by Wagner, gave great pleasure.” Poor Weber! The Wooster (0.) Republican says: “Miss Minnle Wallace, as Affray, is excruciatingly funny, and most exquisitely piquant, Explosiveness sits well upon her, while ber ghostly fear and fits of in- subordination and submission were neatly and mst artistically delivered.” A rather libclious style of criticism. Mr. Montague has sufficiently recovered from the effect of his accident to appear to-night at Wallack’sin the English version of Octave Feuil- let’s play, “The Romance ofa Poor Young Man.” The plot of the piece is very interesting. It is alzo very strongly .cast. Mr. Montague will have in this play exceilent opportunities for the display of | dramatic power. He is constitutionally well fitted to sustain the part of Manuel, Marquis du Cham- prey, and we have no doubt that tn it he will gain with the public additional javor. Mr. Jonn Gilbert appears as Dr. Demarest. Miss Ada Dyas, who Won 80 much favor with the New York public at the Fiith Avenue, makes her first appearance at. Wallack’s as Marguerite. Miss Effie Germon also: appears fur the frst time this season. Miss Ione Burke and Mme. Ponist are also in the cast, which | 1s unusually strong. The Latest New Play. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— The following paragraph appearcd in your columns on Saturday morning:— “Moor Croit; or, The Two Widows,” will be pro- duced at the Filth Avenue Theatre. It is from the pen o} Bron: Howar., whose adaptation from the French, “Saratoga,” met with considerable public favor. There are three distinct errors in the above five lines. If this number were not trifie above the average of errors in the daily newspapers I should not call attention to the two unimportant mis- takes in the first line. The main title of the play is in one word, ‘‘Moorcroft,” and it was so given in your own advertising columns. The second title, “The Double Wedding,” contains, at vest, only a very distant suggestion of “two widows!?-— a suggestion which might strike the two bride- grooms of a “double wedding” with almost tune- real solemnity. The third mistake is a very serious one, In saying that “Saratoga” isan ‘adaptation from the French” you cast an imputation upon my | integrity as a dramatist. I cannot alluw the | statement to remain undisputed, because I have | lata down for myself a rwe of strict literacy | | honesty; aruleirom which I have never yet @3- parted, and which I pledge myself to follow rigid'ty hereaiter. Whatever the merits or demerits of ruy dramatic writing may be (.or its demerits see crir- Tent New York journals; if it has any meriti: 1 refer yourself and your readers to the Fifth Avenue Theatre), I shall never iinpose upon the American puovlic a dramatic composition ‘adapted from” or | “pased upon” or “imitated” from a@ foreign play without acknowledging its true source in every preliminary advertisement and upon the grammes of the theatre. 11 you, sir, ever disco'ver that Lhave done anything inconsistent with {ais | | Pledge you may brand my work as a serious lil er- ary crine: a8 great a crime, ti possible, as you id some other New York jouraalists seem to «:on- ider apy original work I have thus tar twen guity os.

This precaution was taken by the latter in order to guard against such a scheme as that followed out bythe robbers, The parties engaged in the rob- bery seemed to be well aware of the disposition of the keys, and aiter p'acing @ cord around Mr. Sawyer’s neck to prevent any outory, forced him ‘to accompany them by threatening to kill his babe dn case he refused to compiy with their demands. Arriving at the Post Oiice the robbers effected an entrance by removing a pane of glass with a dia- mond, and the keys of the bank were soon in their possession. They then dragged him to the bank and made nim OPEN THE VAULT, ‘which they robbed of avout $4,500 in currency, $15,000 Lo $20,000 in bonds— mostly governments, | owned by Robert I Harrison—and some | other securities, amounting in all to mear $100,000.

Mr. Hinkle presented an amdavit of Whitley, asking a postponement of his jase until the next term of the Court, owing to the ‘absence of ex-Solicitor Banfleld and Samuel E.
