Horn tag of the Orleans Theatre at Hew
Orleans.
/ [From tkaPlciyuneof Prld*y Evenlnß.Bec. 7.]
miia morning, about 6 o'clock, the Orleans
"Theatre, on Orleans street, between Royal
and Bonrbon streets, was discovered to be on
fire. The general alarm was soon afte'
sounded,and our flremen,ever prompt,ware
■on hand from every partof the city. It was
;a rainy and dismal morning, and would ap
pear rather an unpropitious time for fire.
The fire originated on the Beoand floor in
that portion of the theatre used as a dressing
room,'and which fronts on St. Ann street. It
waß the 'general' impression this morning,
that the firing of the theatre was the work
■of incendiarism. We did not learn that any
particular one had been suspected. It was
stated to us, however, on good authority,
that on yesterday evening there was a mis
understanding between the manager and
some of the aotors in regard to salaries.
Some of the actors had declined to play any
.more until they were paid. The matter,
was finally settled, or so arranged, and the
performance last night went on as usual.
lie fire soon spread throughout the en
tire building. That portion of the building
■which contained the theatre, was the first to
He enveloped in theflamee; then came that
portion in which was the famed Orleans
' Ball Roopa. It was soon one sheet of flame,
«nd burning root and rafters came down
with a crash. The flames .then leaped up,
’wreathing tii6iiisBlv©s about th© walls and
through the windows like hissing serpents.
WPe watched their billowy and writhing vo
lumes aB they enveloped the entire building.
3t was a scene of fearful beauty.
.After the falling in of ihe roof of that
portion of the buildiDg where the. theatre
4ras, the wall fronting on Orleans street
camedown with a thundering crash. The
firemen having seen at ODce, when they ar
rived upon the ground, that the building
. could not be saved; used all their efforts to
prevent an extension- of the : fire, and" they
succeeded finely. , ,
The Orleans Theatre was one of onr oldest
buildings,'having been' erected ih 1817 by a
Mr. Lambert, father of Mr. J. L imbart, who i
is a member of the bar of this city, and re
siding on Toulouse street. The architect of
the building was a Mr. Tbibaut. The build
ing was constructed with some architectural
taste, and though it has stood the wind and
rain for nearly fifty years, it presented quite
& neat and handsome appearance. It was
noted as a place of amusement and pleasure
and dissipation, and even crime, long years
ago, when portions of the city, where now is
the heart of trade, and where Htateiy edifices
now stand, was a’marab and a swamp, tided
with reptiles and varmints. Many a plea
sant moment, many an entertaining hour
has been spent in the old Orleans Theatre.
In the Orleans Ball Room,-noted through
out the whole country, many a moment, full
of recklessness and revelr ;, has been speut
by those who have tasted ot dissipation.
This ball room has been the scene of orgies
That would require a pen of flame to paint,
its day is over, and it is now one mass of
aruin. .
We understand there was an insurance
of §lo,oooon the theatre, which was leased
by Mr. ,Debrinay. The drinking saloon
Tinder the theatre was owned by Hypolite
Percival, and the billiard saloon by Ernest
Ttichards. The billiard saloon was insured
ior $6,000. We did net learn what insurance,
-M any, was on the ball-room. .We suppose
* - there must have been, as it recently under
weutrepair, and had been neatly finished up.
The Orleans Theatre belonged to Mr. Par
hinge, a gentleman of wealth, well-known
in our midst for his public spirit and, espe
cially ,his enterprise in providing intellectual
i entertainments for our people. We sympa
thize deeply with him in his great loss. The
present Lessee and Manager was Lawrence
Labrunie, a gentleman of energy and enter
prise in his profession, who early in the
season, brought out for us from Paris a very
fine company, numbering some fifty artists,
many of whom had been deservedly popular
in the best theatres of France. He brought
•out, also, at great expense, new scenery and
costumes, with the desigu of reproducing
here, in the sanje style, as at Paris, the most
interesting of the “French Theatre Con
temporain.” Excellent audiences attended
all these performances, and for Sunday
night next was underlined the celebrated
>play “Marianne, or the Vtvandiere of the
-33 d Demi Brigade,” illustrated by seven
magnificent tableaux. But it was fated that
it never should be produced in that building
nor in that locality till another and even a
more beautiful theatre shall arise, a 3 we
hope will soon be the case, on its smoulder
ing ruins.
Facts and Fancies.
THE LAST OF SIB LAUNFAL!
Bing slow the bell with solemn toll,
And let the gloomy echoes roll
Like thunder overhead:
Eor, oh, Sir Launfal, gallant knight
As ever wielded brand in figut,
Sir Launfal is gone dead.
Say, did some paynim warrior fierce,
The.gallant chieftain’s bosom pierce,
With his relentless sword?
Or was the hero of romance
By some accursed soldau’s lance,
Unpityingly bored?
Ah, no—alaokaday! ah, no!
No vaunting foeman laid him low,
A cold ’twas—in hia bead,
The Equire who him for fight prepared,
Forgot to have hia helmet aired,
And that’s how he’s gone dead!

judicious to send it by a special car, for if it

her. Her end was peace.”
It is an ancient conundrum, “Why was
• - Queen, Elizabeth more remarkable than
=' Napoleon'Bonaparte ? Because he was a
wonder, but she was a Tv.-dor.” , But. there
is an improvementori it: A Norfolk farmer
built himself a homestead, and instead of
one “half door” in the middle, set a door in
:-each wing. Being asked why he called his
house “Elizabethan,” he replied, “Because,
you see, it is a Tu-dor cottage.”

The President of the Georgia Senate said,
