3 n b w-ir o s, si z a ri s. From Our Ourn Correspondent iNnw York, Oct. 2. A Wntf from AVnll Wlrret. Living ns I do in seclusion, n wave from Wall street now and then washed over me, and I can not help feeling the ripi'les of the Gold Room above my head. Not the least entertaining of the Gold-Room gossip is the good-natured tattle that Commodore Vuiiderhllt'a friends deal out about him. He is with them the "dear Commo dore," the "good Commodore," that "man of high, principle," who has had no more to do with the present gold-eartlnjuako than the unborn infant. lie run up tho price of gold! No, indeed! Ho has made nil of his eighty millions and he is worth every cent of that in a more legiti mate field. But as for that rascal Fislc, that mushroom millionaire bah! you should see how tho ppccuhitors who have come safj out of Erie fnnp their lingers and shrug their shoul ders at mention of his name, and say things too had to repeat. Nevertheless, while they do not advise you to buy, they do darkly lnsiuuate that Eric will double itself within the next three months; but woe be to the last man who comes in on the home stretch ! ItfNtntiriiiit 1'j.cIiisIvI-iii. There is a certain saloon near Fifth avenue, above Fourteenth Etreet, which is conducted j upon the policyof decant cxclusivlm. Tuc ex pression upon the waiters' features is that of melancholy nobility. They move about like milk-and-molasscs C'hcslerlieUls, and present upon salvers bills of fare printed iu French. If you speak French, of course you carry yourself oft with that dignified ease which the occasion demands. If not, you are reduced to the humiliating necessity of saying, 'Tlea-e to bring me some of Ihis" In dicating the locality of thin, on the programme, with your dexter finger. Very particular are the proprietors in regard to the eligibility of those who drop Into this saloon. If the quick but comprehensive glance of the presiding genius decides that you are not their style, that your personal appearance is wanting iuthatjV nc sail quoi which constitutes a claim to gentleman or ladyhood, a card presented to you on the in evitable salver, blandly acquaints you with that unhappy fact. Tho other day a certain captain, who has made much money by steamboats, walked in and took a scat in this Eden of Edi bility. His tastes were very plain, and all that ho demanded was roast beef and boiled potatoes. The order was so simple that naturally there was a great deal of delay in ful tilling it. At length, however, the roast beef aud the potatoes were laid before him and consumed, and the bill was presented. It amounted to $2 50, which was moderate, considering the quantity of mar ble and mirror with which tho saloon was deco rated. Tho captain looked at the bill and his brow grew black. "Don't tako away those things," he said to the waiter; "J shall want to take them away with me. Of course they're paid for. They're in cluded in the 2-50." "Beg pardon, sir," answered Johu. '-That bill, sir, is for the roast beef aud potatoes." "Precisely," answered the captain. "There is the money, sir, and there's my card. Take it to your master with my compliments, and tell him I say he's a swindler," and at the peril of spoiling a good digestion, the captain walked off. To these things docs cxclusivism tend iu first class restaurants. Lawyer Hull. There is no doubt that Mr. A. Oakcy Hall is a smart lawyer. Iudeed, he is smart at everything to which he turns his hand or tongue. He can write plays aud lecture on the drama, compose songs and slsg them, aud his practice of punning is as inveterate as his practice of law. As an attorney ho probably has as much to do as any other Buccessful lawyer In the State. There would be no objection to all this but for one little fact, and that is that he is also Mayor of this city, and it seems a pity that, holding such a responsible and honorable position, he should not be paid a commensurate salary. It is, to be sure, a line thiug to have a Mayor who can write poetry and appear with eelat iu private theatri cals, who can run a newspaper as impcrturbubly as he could run for ollice, and who would find no more difficulty iu keeping a hotel, if he wanted to, than iu keeping his dignity or his temper; but it woxld be a much finer thing were he paid a sufficient salary to keep him in pocket-money without resorting to the practise of law. When it Is understood that the judi ciary here is elective, and that the Mayor has more power over the nomination and reuomi nation of judges than any other member of the bar, the peculiarity of Lawyer Hall's position will at once be seen. The city Is quite rich enough to pay him a largo salary, and Mr. Hall's tastes are quite extravagant enough for him to speud it. Dlxcnse In I he Car Cushion. Next to death iu the pot comes disease in tho car cushions, at least those which pad the seats of the New York city passenger cars. In somo of tho lines It is positively dangerous to ride, so little care is bestowed in keeping them clean. The cushions are sometimes saturated with the oil from the lamps over-night, the smell inside the car is decidedly buggy, and ten to one the passenger upon getting out carries with him a souvenir that he cannot easily get rid of. Tlie J:hhI Kiver lirldae is to bcerccted after all that is, after everything else has been attended to. The Board of Direc tors of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Com pany met for the purpose of giving the Execu tive Committee the power to go on with tho work, the engineers being all ready with their specifications and plans. Those plans and speci fications are the same as those agreed upon by the elder Mr. ltoebling before his death. A reso lution was passed to the effect that a committee be authorized to have the foundation of the tower ou the Brooklyn side constructed to a point three feet above high-water mark. Tho object of this is to enable the builders to go on with tho tower and briug it up to the point required. The French Opera has gone up. Serious French opera proved too ikrloui for tho managers of It, aud the cashiers of the newspapers iu which advertisements are inserted are exclaiming, "Why didn't we insist upon payment in advance ?" An effort i(t.y k made at reconstruction. From first to last, how ever, this serious French troupe has boruo tho air of an ill-regulated, provincial arrangement. It was flung together rather than organized, and the blngcrs were people whose reputation had not preceded them. Tho history of serious French opera iu this country, as contrasted with that of opera bmiffe, is a failure of tho most blinding brilliancy. Am Baba.

A large and fashionable audience last night, at the Chesnut, witnessed the performance of Our Anurican Cousin, with as much delight, appa rently, na If It was an entire novelty. At least one-third of the characters in this piece aro broad caricatures, and it would ho little more than a laughable three-act farce, were it nottnat a graceful little love Btory has been skilfully woven in among the more amusing fea tures, and the fun and sentiment qualified by some traditional stage villainy. Our Ameri can Couxin. however, is remarkable for having introduced a new character to the stage. "Lord Dundreary" quite overshadows the lankco hero of the piece. Both aro caricatures; but while "Asa Trenchant" Is tho traditional stage Yankee, mollified by a modern Englishman's imagination, aud with no resemblance whatever to the genuine article, except in his habitual use of certain slang phrases current on this side of the Atlantic, Dundreary" has a substra tum of truth; he is an intensified portrait of the modern British swell, and there is very little doubt that the portrait was drawn from life. , , Mr. Jefferson, and tho actors who have played the part of "Asa Trcnclmrd" after him, with good taste abandon tho outrageous costume of the traditional stage Yanki e, and dress the character so that ho has sonic outward resemblance, atlcast, to a genuine ' Dow n East" countryman; but in spite of tho kindly spirit in which the sketch is drawn, it is not t'lleasaut to contemplate a representative American citizen walking into a gentleman's house and ottering to celebrate his arrival by mixing for the ladies present all the fancy drinks known from Maine to California. Notwithstamlmgits absurdities, however, Our American Cou.iin is a play of considerable merit. ihe lun is hearty and sincere, keeping tliu audi ence, from beginning to end, in a good whole some state of laughter, and the sentimental por tions relieve the merriment with some genuine pathos. The piece was admirably performed last even ing, nil the characters, without exception, being well sustained, and the applause was as hearty ns the actors could desire. The cast was as follows: "Florence Trenehard," Miss Laura Kccnc; "Asa Trenehard." Mr. Yining Bowers; "Abel Murcott," Mr. Sheridan; "Lord Dun dreary," Mr. Otis; "Sir Edward Trenehard," Mr. Vallis; "Mr. Coyle." Mr. J. 11. Jack: "Lieu tenant Vernon," Mr. T. A. Crease; "Binnev," Mr. B F. McNultv; "Buddicomb," Mr. J. Cos tello; "Mary Meredith," Mrs. Crease; "Mrs. Mountebcssington'" Miss Mary Carr; "Augusta," Miss Josephiue Laurens; and "Georgkuia," Miss Jennie Anderson. The City Aiiinsciiirnt.

A OKAtcn C'onceht for the benefit of the Avondale sullerers will lie given this afternoon at Musical Fund Hall by the titrinnnla orchestra and tho Junjrer Ma'iinerchor Society. The object for which this en tertainment is given ought to attract a large audience. At the A tape my op Music Madame Pnrepa-Itosa and her English opeia troupe will open on Monday for a season of twelve nlgnts. The imiiiHiiral per formance will lie Wallace's opera of Maritana, with Madame Horn and Mrs. Hrguin; Messrs. Castle, A. Laurence, Uumpbcll and T. Howard in the leading rotcn. La Sovnambula will bo given on Tuesday, Intro ducing the new prima donna, Miss Kose ilersue In in the role of "Amlua." On Wednesday, Balfe's opera of the Puritan's Dannhter will be produced for tlie first, time in this city. Madame Itosa'sjconiblnatlou achieved a decided success recently in New York and Brooklyn, aud tho new artists are highly spoken of by thu papers of those cities. In addition to well-known and popular works Madame liosa Will produce some that are en tire novelties here, such as liulfe's J'nritan's Daii'ik ter, and others that are seldom attempted, ns Mo zart's Marriaae of Fiijaro, Welter's Obernn, Auber's Jilaek Domino, and Halle's SutttucUu. It is promised that the sceneries, costumes, properties, etc., shall be In strict accordance with the historical period ef each opera, and that every care will lie taken to give the performances in as complete a manner as pos sible. Seats for the first six nights can now be secured at the Academy and tit Trumpler's. The Gkeat Kuhoi'ean C'ikcls will commence a season ( two weeks on Monday next, on liighth street, between Race and Vine. This is the largest circus troupe in tho Tinted States, and we arc in formed that It has been Improved In a number of particulars since its visit to this city two seasons ago. It includes sonic lirst-class male and female riders, skilful acrobats and jugglers, funny clowns, and a large number of trained animals. One of the great features of the show Is Crockett's den of lions, in which Mr. retiree will perform with the wild beasts. Good equestrianism is always attractive to a large number of persons who care very little for other amusements, aud a well-organized circus is gene rally sure of liberal patronage. There Is a fascina tion about the saw-dust, too, for thosn who profess to have outgrown a liking for this sort of thing, but who cannot refrain from dropping in occasionally at the tent-door., if only lor the sake of reviving old recollections. The fact is that the circus Is really good entertainment, and llrst-rate horsemanship is something well worthy of admiration. On Monday morning, if the weather permits, there will be a grand parade, with the gilded cars, the per formers iu their brilliant dresses, ami the great fea ture of the uncaged lion. The procession will move over the following route : From the place of exhibition through Vine to Tenth street, thence to Market, to Eighteenth street, to Chesnut, to Second, to South, to Eighth, to Market, down Market to Third, to Arch, to Eighth, up Eighth, between Itace and Vine. Performances will be given every afternoon at 1 o'clock, ami every evening at T;'f. The Gehmakia OKCHHSTiiA The following gentle men have been elected oillcers of the Uermania HEWS gUIMTlYIAXVg.

On Thursday night, it appears that William Brown (colored), aged thirty-three, residing in a small court running from Bay street, had somo difficulty with a colored woman named Rachel Williamson, who repeatedly tried to force her way into his room. Ho resisted and pushed her out, when she cried "murder," bringing a number of persons to the house. Brown thou lied from the house, aud ran to uueighbor's, pursued by several policemen, one ot whom, ho says, struck him wilh a club and lircd at him, one ball enter ing his back just below the right shoulder blade, the other taking effect In his side. Ho was taken bv policemen to tho station houso, and afterwards removed to tho Pennsylvania Hospi tal, where an Ineffectual attempt was made to remove the balls. His wounds are serious. Revenue Officers Hauso and Foulkrod, as sisted by Deputy Marshals Murray, Bains, aud Kldridge, visited the old Richmond district yes terday, and on William and other neighboring streets discovered six stills, which were captured and carried off.

DISASTER. Holler T"ileston nt the Inillnnn State Fair Twelve IVrNon InMiiiuiy Killed. Indianapolis, Oct. 1. A terrible accident occurred nt the State Fair this afternoon. The boiler of Sinker JH Co., of this city, exploded a few minutes before 4 o'clock. There was an immense crowd on the ground at the time of the accident, and it is difficult to get the particulars. It is known that twelve persons were instantly killed and a number wounded. The wounded will probably reach one hundred. The accident at the Fair Grounds this after noon was the most heart-rending that has ever occurred iu this vicinity, and has cast a gloom over the crtire city. Tho explosion occurred at 4 o'clock, when the grounds were crowded with visitors. The boiler was attached to the saw mill of Messrs. Sinker ov Co., of this city, and hud just been fired up for a test of speed with another machine, and arrangements were made to take it up as soon as the trial was over. As far as ascertained to-night nineteen persons were killed. Ths excitement and confusion to night are so great that it is difficult to obtain a correct list of the wounded, but it is thought the number will reach nearly one hundred. The following are among the killed: P. L. Davis, of Indianapolis; A. M. Benton, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; John Goulding, of Indianapo lis; Daniel Long, of Faycttesville, Indiana; Lewis Wilson, of Indianapolis; Mr. Roster, of Indianapolis; Ruel Beverly, of Paragon, In diana; L. B. MeVcy, student of Asburv Uni versity, Greencastlc; John Wilson, of Indianapo lis; Mr. Jackson, of Memphis, Indiana; Peter Kietzcr, of Indianapolis; a lady, name unknown; and a little girl, 7 or 8 years old. Five men, names unknown, ajd most of the dead, were removed to W. W . Weaver's under taker's office, where an inquest will be held to morrow. Many of the bodies are horribly mutilated and burned, and in some cases it will be almost impossible for friends to recognize them. Many of the most severely wouuded were conveyed to the Indiana Surgical Institution, the proprietors of which soon heard of the accident, and tendered the use of the Institute for the wounded, and have been untiring iu their efforts to alleviate their sufferings. The following is a partial list of the wounded: 11. B. Cox, Randolph county, Iud., slightly injured; J. B. Legs, Wabash county, Iud., slightly; Gideon Mart., Cicero county, I ml., leg broken and injured in head; lleury Colem m, Governor taker's watchman, badly cut in head; J. A.

R. Evans, leg broken and injured in the head; Isaac Long arid sister, Fayctteville, Iud., both badly injured; Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and daughter, Indianapolis, seriously wounded; Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Sinker, Indianapolis, both seriously but not dangerously wounded; Mrs. Stanley and daughter, Indianapo lis, seriously wounded. Dr. Keightlcy, of Greencastlo,has since died. A little babe was killed in its father's arms, but the father escaped without injury. Governor Baker was on the ground at the time of tho explosion. A portion of the boiler passed over his head aud struck his coachman, a few feet in his rear, injuring him severely. Tho scene at the fair ground after the accident was most heartrending. Many of the killed were torn iu fragments. In one family, con sisting of a mother and three children, the mother was killed, and the two older children were badly scalded, but the youngest was un hurt. A gentleman and lad' were walking together, the gentleman being killed and the lady escaping unhurt. Everything is being done to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded, though it Is feared that iscveral will die. Tho receipts of tlie Fair to-morrow will be given for tho benefit of the wounded. Tho fol lowing additional killed are reported: William Demming, of Indianapolis, formerly of Roches ter, N. Y., and Job Kennedy, of Indianapolis. Wounded Mrs. Bullock, of Shelby county; George Wright, of St. Paul, Ind.; Lucinda II. Smith, of Indianapolis, badly; Mr. Loring, of ft-aukim, inu., uacuy scalded and arm broken.
