TIM /TAMAN OPM.U.A.--Tnexo was a large and
I•biilliant audience at the Academy of Music last
.
_
' - evening, •at the Opening ,
of the Opera season.
'The opera was ll Troratorr, and the performance
Zae a very effective one. Mme. Parep a-Rosa, as
Leonora," sang the music brilliantly, making,
t times, variations from the text that were not
_in th e best taste. She is, unfortunately, wholly
' . I pyold of. dramatic fervor and intensity, and in
, -r endeavors to portray theseoshe sometimes
r•lorrer-acts. But as a vocalist she is excellent, aud
`she is fully capable of executing the most difficult
,
'of Verdi's music. Mine. Natali-Testa was a very
.:good "Azucena," singing well and acting with
genuine earnestness and intelligence. The new
,tenot, Signor Panermitinade a very favorable ilil
melon. It is mete And eo powerful a voice
_good in quality , and so well managed. As an
tor, alai, ne is worthy of admiration. Signor
1 llini, as' usual, delighted tho audience by his
. giug and acting in the role of the -Count di
a," and Signor Barili was . excellent as
.rrando." The chorus was largo and good,
denial) , the male voices, and the orchestra,
.y Maretzek, left notidng to be desired. This
leg Don Giovanni is to be given, and to
. w evening Mme. Gazzaniga will appear m
-great part of "Leonora" in La Favorita. The
on has opened well and bids fair to be com
ely Succeeeful. • .

.•, - • THE CHESTNUT.—At the. Chestnut Street Thee
, ' tie last evening, a dramatization of Dickens'.and
Wilkie Collins's sketch No Thorotighlitre was pro
-4=1.4. Everybody has read the story, and every
body who is familiar with the style of the author
of the "Womaitin White," knows that No
Thoroughfare bears his broad arrow mark upon
Vit rather than that of Mr. Dickens. The strongly
marked characters, the exciting incidents, the
effective situations and the tragic power of the
story, offered to dramatists an unusually fine op
e ormnity to adapt it for the stage. Some half
ozen dramatizations have been made, and of
t
. these Mr. Sinn has procured by no means the
, test; • It it good. but it needs judicious conden
•' , nation in some places, and expansion in others,
,t:
\ that it may still more clearly tell its own story.
s se ll , ' is hardly fair •to judge of the merits
.of a play from a first performance, and it is for
,
• -this reason that we deem it but simple justice to
ji the management of the Chestnut to state fairly
Fr.hat despite some ohjections in the arrangement
'i -of the text andkthe plot, and those invariable and
apparently inevitable derangements of machinery
, ,
seawhich occur upon first nights, we think they
, "'have done a creditable thing in, producing this
~7:ssiirama with the speed and in the style with which
.at has been done. The scenic effects are very
';',`e tine. The Alpine gorge is novel and beautiful,
s e'eand although the avalanche would not tumble in
a precisely correct manner last evening, it was
e . easy to : perceive that the scene, when managed
' properly, as it will be, would produce a startling
'.:':,,,' and wonderful effect. It is by all odds the best
`"lthing of the kind presented upon the stage in
'S this city for a long time, and we hope every play
:. `V•toer will take care to see it..
~ It is very pleasant to do such an unusual thing
eisks 'as to award to each of the performers hearty
-:, prairie for the capital manner In which the parts
- - e s were presented.lir. Murdoch, first of all, matte
'''; as very favorable impression In the somewhat
4 difficult part of "Wilding." He gave an excel
., lent interpretation of the character in the story,
.. I, A, and'showed that he bad gone beyond the drama
' sand studied the man as he teas drawn by the pen
'of the novelist. Mr. McManus as "Obenreizer,"
was very fine, Mr. Smith's "Bintry," was up ,to
. • the standard of this excellent actor; Mr. Lefties,
'we think, did better than usual as "Vendale."
Miss Orton, whom we consider by far the most
accomplished stock actress in this city, had in
'^i
"Marguerite" a part entirely too unimportant to
permit a fair exhibition of her powers, but she
did what Ittle she had to do, well. Mr. Len
nox's "Joey Ladle" was. the best thine in the
play and ought to be put down with the aval
anche as one of the leading attractions. Alto-.
gether we have nothing but words of
praise to write of this performance, excepting
to urge upon Mr, Sian a careful revision of the
text, with a view to cutting out superfluous lan
guag;e, and inserting a few lines' in some places to
make the plot more letelligible." It is unneces
sary to mention in detail where correction is
needed. The good tasae of the ,stage manager
• will probably suggest it. We tuust e not conclude
these brief remarks without commending the ex
cellent and beautiful device by which the "over
ture" to the story is related in "Wilding's" dream.
This saves a deal of confusion and trouble, and
reflects credit upon the judgment of the drama
tist, who would have been more successful if
he bad exercised the same discretion in other
places. ..
THE. THEATRES.—At the Arch this evening the
drama, Light at Last, will be repeated. Miss
Lucille Western will appear at the Walnut this
evenin,g.l3 "Nancy Sykes" in Oliver Twist. At
the Chestnut No Thoroughfare will be repeated.
A varied entertainment will be given at the Arne
eican.
ELEVENTH STREET OPERA HOUSE.—The pan
iomime of the Magic Pearl will be performed this
evening, with a cast including all-the most popu
lar members of the company. In addition to
this there will be several new burlesques, and a
number of popular ballads sung by Mr. Caru
crDW singing, dancing, and Ethiopian eccentrie
•- . cities generally. - . . . ,
.._.,
. _ .
SEVENTH STREET OPEEA 110IISE.—This even
ing a most attractive entertainment will be given
at this popular house. - A large number of per
formers have been added to the company, and it
now embraces some of the most accomplished
members of the profession in the country. The
programme embraces dancing, vocal and Matra
mental music, burlesque, farce, and the multi
. tudo of good things width go to make up a first
s - claw performance. , •
• Berge.—Signor 'blitz will give one of his plea
eantentertainments at Assembly Buildings this
evening. The Signor will remain upon the plat
form but a short time longer,and his old friends
owe it to themselves and mto Bee him once
more before his final withdeawal. His magical
repertorie is larger and more attractive than ever.
FRANK MORAN AND DICKENS. —On Friday
night, at the Seventh Street Opera House, Frank
Moran has his first benefit, when he will reed
from Dickens's "Boots at the'Swan" and "Dick
Swiveiler's Experience." AB Moran does every
,- thing well, a rich treat may be expected. In
addition, the company has been augmented by
several new faces, while Moran will present five
new acts for the first time. To enjoy this groat
hill seats, should be secured in advance.
NEW JERSEY AFFAIRS
TILE PROPOSED CANAL.—The proposition. to
construct a ship canal between Ctunden and the
tide water of Aidliens river is meeting with great
encouragement. The enterprise is co apparently
fusible, and would be attended with so many
beneficial results, that the stock, it is thought,
will be disposed of without any di/MOT what,
ever. A charter incorporating a company with t
authority to build it will be granted by the Legis=
]stare, and the work of arranging the pre
' liminaries will then be at once commenced.
r.VASs the most important improvement that
i taw win proposed in New Jersey for many years
past,preause Of the vast interests to commerce and
Intr-State 'thinmunieation involved in it. The
greatest dangers to the coasting business lie
between the Darnegat sand-bars and the Dela
ware Bay, dangers which would be avoided by
And thus millions of dollars would be
saved. •Ilie project seems to be favorably con
sidered by the citizens of Caruden, Atlantic. and
the dtizens of the southern part of Burlington
counts. When the company have become fully

SOUP Iron THE POOE.—We give below a state
ment of the operations for 1867 of the "Society
for supplying the Poor with Soup," which was
organized in 1814, and has been in active opera
tion ever since, at 338 Griscom street:
Pints of Soup distributed 115,386
Loaves of Bread 21,648
Pounds of Corn Meal... . 13,166
—the soup costing 130. per pint..
The field in which this Society operates is
bounded by Walnut street,South Eleventh street
and Delaware river, and includes Bedford, Gas
kill, and some other streets inhabited by the
poorest and most destitute of our population.
The distribution of soup, tread and meal is
nyder 'the close personal supervision of a com
mittee of three members, changed from day to
day, and every effort is made to ascertain, by
visiting, who are and who are not worthy of
assistance.`,
The soup` distributed was all of the very best
quality, made of material carefully selected, and
Tully equal, if not superior, to the article
sold under that name at the best
restaurants. The same may be said
of the bread and Indian meal. By an advertise
ment of the Society, to, be found in another part
'of this paper, we see that the funds for carrying
on the operations are derived entirely from volun
tary contributions, and we know of no way in
which money given for a charitable purpose is
more sure to reach,at once,the persons for whose
relief it is intended, or do a greater amount of
good in proportion to the amount.
Visitors to the Soup House are always wet=
come, and.particularly on Mondays and Satur
days, the days upon which bread is given out,
.between 11 and 1 o'clock. What we have said of
this Soup - House applies, we believe, to all the
others in the city, all being equally well mana
ged and worthy of liberal support.
ALLEGED BURGLAES.-4 notice of the arrest of
two Frenchmen,named Chas. Mulary and Alfred
Loboor, for peddling without a license, was pub
lished In the Flui,t,mtw a few days since. In the
posses:ion of the men a black valise, marked
"H. G. Leisenring," was found. It was then as
certained that the dwelling . of Mr. Leisenring
'was entered last August, during the absence of
the, occupants, and robbed or various articles,
valued at a considerable sum. Yesterday
Day Sergeants Magee, Johnson and Reese
went to a house at Sixth and Lombard' streets,
and searched a room which had been occupied
by Murlary anttLoboor. A number of articles
which had beeh stolen from the house of Mr.
Leisenring were found. Also, the following arti
cles, which are at the Central station awaitin" .
identification: 14 pairs of fine calf skin boots,
(N. Y. make); one piece of red merino: 107 linen
handkerchiefs; two black cloth dress coats; four
shirt bosoms; ono cassimere vest, and three pairs
of black cloth pants. The prisoners had another
hearing hefere. Aid, Jones yesterday. and were
committed in'tlefault of e 5,000 bail to answer the
charge of burglary.
TUB SEVENTEENTH SCHOOI, DISTRICT.-TLC
Seventeenth School District is in some confusion
in consequence of the action of its school board
in relation to the election of a Principal for the
Harrison Grammar School. Mr. Mcßride, the
old Principal, resigned recently, and at a special
meeting of the Board, at which every member
was present,,held on the 17th of December last,
Mr. Philip Cressman was elected by a decided
majority to fill the vacancy. On the 26th of the
same month a stated meetinz of the Board was
held, and the members undid their work of the
17th by electing a Mr. Gentry to fill the.vaca.nt
Principalship. As there is but ono vacancy, and
only sufficient room for one Principal, either Mr.
Cressman or Mr. Gentry must go to the wall.
The action of the Board seems whimsical and
Capricious, and the' question arises whether the
action of the 17th or that of the 26th ultimo is
legal. The 'whole matter has been referred to
the Board of Jontrol, where justice will doubt
less he done.—

126 Spruce street, was entered at an early hour
on Sunday morning, by means of Le back gate,
and was robbed of three silver watches and about
five dollars in pennies. The thief evidently helped
himself liberally to the wino and beer in the es
tablishment. When Mrs. Liscliewsky got down

rubbed his eyes to get awake. It was not known

outstanding. There was apparently no special cause for
ti (- advance, but the natural reaction from extreme de
prosion was stimulated by purchases to cover "short"
contracts, and the market is still largely oversold, while.
in view of the financial situation and the prodpects of the
country, the premium is by no means high.

Armes Cfanimze, J.B. C.
New York. Jan. 6, 1881
The bull element is decidedly in the ascendant- on, the
Stock Exchange and the tendency of prices is upward.
Speculation for a flee is stimulated by the abundance of
motley and the 1 roepect of still greater ease, and
while all the principlel stock houses and leading, pro
fessional operators are on the bull sidn of the market
the bears are comparatively few and inactive. The
source of the strength of the market for railway shared
is to be found ha the large earnings of the railways during
the past year, the average having been equalto more than
a hundred and seventy declare per mile greater than in
1E436, a conylecing proof that the stagnation'which pre
vailed in trade dig not extend to them. Now thatlt is ac
cepted es almost eel tain that there will be no further con
traction of the currency, confidence in vat:meet all kinds
is growing. and the sooner the Senate tukeg conclusive
action upon this subject by passing the House anti-con.
traction bill the better for the country at large. The
ineptly of capital offering on call is abundant at six and
seven per cent, with menet the transactions at the lower
rate, while find-class commercial paper,. of which the
etipply iii limited, passes at zeg per cent.
Tee action of the Board of Broken% ointlaturday respect
ing Meter. Lockwood & Co., has excited considerable
eon - moult in the etreen and the proceeding of the board
is regi, rded as not only extremely arbitrary, but illegal.
Mr. - William B. nockwood, a member of the open hoard,
was admitted a member of his father's firm on the
let of thepresent month, and the board have de
clared the seats of Mr. Le Grand Lockwood and Mr. Var.,
Buskirk forfeited, in consequence, en the ground that the
firm in taking a 'member of the opatt.Board - into portlier
chipvielated the eixtleth rule of the Association, which
reads as renown: "Any member of this Board milting
with any other organization, evbcure stacks. bonds, &e.,
are dealt in, or who shall visit tine rooms where
each dealings are had, shall cease to be a member of
this Board." lierein. it will ho- c.biserved. nothing
whatever le said againet a member of the Board
entering into partnership with a member of any other or
ganization, yet the board has proceededluet as if there
had been and expelled a firm that reflected credit upon
the eructation. Probably If Mesas. Lockwood it Co.
valued their connection with tins regular board the l
would legally resist the action of the board; but as it
the board itself will be the onil' leeer by the confide it h
pursued, which HaVOrtl too muck Geoid fogyism aadinhas
