CRIME.
Murders in Kentucky.
At Brandenburg, Ky., November 7, while J. D.
Shacklett was sitting In the door of J. G. Shack
lett's store in Meadville, his nephew, D. M.
Shackled, rode up, and dismounting, came into
the store. As he was passing his uncle he re
marked, "You say I will cat my words," at the
same time slapping him on each aide of the face.
His uncle then attempted to rise, when he struck
him over the head several times with a pistol.
J. D. Shacklett then started down the road to
ward home, saying, "I am not armed, and do
not want a difficulty."
Young Shackled started after him, when J. D.
Shackled broke to run, and young Shacklett fired
several shots at him as he went off. Some fif
teen minutes after the first shooting J. D. Shack
led. having armed himself with a shot gun, met
young Shacklett near Brooks's store, and re
marsed that he was now prepared. Both parties
began firing, each firing some three shots, when
young Shackled walked into Brooks's store, and
died in about twenty-five minutes, shot through
the heart.
Another bloody affray occurred in Louisville,
Ky., on the 11th instant. The Journal says: "J.
B. Anderson, a very excellent young man, who is
one of the clerks at the Spurrier Rouse, and
Eugene Anderson, his brother, who is a clerk in
some tobacco house on Ninth street, have been
for some time occupying the same room at the
hotel. In the afternoon Eugene suddenly entered
the office of the hotel, much intoxicated, with a
pistol drawn and cocked, and pointing it at
the clerk reminded him of a promise of
changing rooms, which had not been ful
filled. Advancing upon his brother, he cried,
`l'll give you just five minutes to give
me another room!' The brother, not at
all dismayed, threw open his coat and replied,
'shoot me, if you want to.' No sooner had he
spoken than Eugene fired. The bullet cut
through the pantaloons and coat of his brother,
but strange to say, although the distance between
the two young men had been trifling, the deadly
missile grazed harmlessly by. Before Eugene
could fire again his brother leaped over the coun
ter, and wrenching the pistol from his hand
forcibly ejected him from the hotel. Yesterday
morning he was before Judge Craig, and was re
leased on giving a bond of $6OO to keep the
peace, his brother expressing a desire that the
prosecution should be carried no further,"

DISASTERS.
TERRIBLE . CAL4.lllllrr IN NEW
YORK.
Collation at the Fulton Ferry.
The N. Y. Tribune of this morning has the fol
lowing account of the terrible accident at the
Fulton Ferry:
The most serious ferry-boat accident that has
happened for many years. involving the loss of
one life and the maiming of a number of male and
female passengers, occurred on Saturday morn
ing. At 7X o'clock the Union Ferry Company's
boat Hamilton left Brooklyn laden with nearly
1,200 passengers and a number of vehicles. Oa
nearing the 611 p at the foot of Fulton
street, on the New York side, the pro
peller Columbia, lying just below the slip,
let go her stem line and swung around in
such a manner as to partially cover the entrance
to the ferry slip. John W. Albertson, the regu
lar pilot, was eating his breakfast in the pilot
house at the time, having temporarily given the
wheel to a deck hand namedlA.tlantle White, who
holds a certificate as a'rellei pilot, and who has,
at intervals during the past two years, taken
charge of the wheel in the absence of either of
the regular pilots. Seeing the propeller swing
around, White called the attention of Albertson
to, the fact, and asked him if there was room to
enter the slip. The latter replied in the afar
teethe, and the boat was allowed to con
tinue on her course. The course of the boat, on
entering the slip was such that the tide caught
the boat, which was very low in the water, owing
to the number of persons crowded in that end of
the boat, rendering it doubly difficult to steer,
and in spite of the efforts of tbo wheelsman to
prevent it, carried the bow of the Hamilton
under theguard of the Union, another ferryboat,
13 ing in the slip, and ready to depart on the
arrival of her consort. These of the passengers
in the vicinity of the bow of the Hamilton saw
from the course of the boat that a collision
was inevitable and attempted to fly from the im
pending danger. So closely wedged In was the
crowd,that this could not be done. Men, women
and children were thrown down in the mad ef
forte of the crowd to escape, trampled upon and
seriously . injured. When the boats came together
I li a crash, the bow of the Hamilton passed
underneath the guards of the Union, aEd the
heavy timbers composing the latter swept away
the rail, hood, and a portion of the ladies' cabin
of the Hamilton as though they had been made
of pasteboard. George Brewer, a lad of fifteen
years, was sitting at the time of the acci
dent on the forward rail of the Hamilton_ His
right leg was severed from the body, his skull
fractured and body otherwise badly mutilated.
He was killed immediately. A large number of
the passengers were struck by the broken wood
work, or jammed between the timbers of the
cabin and the demolished hood. The excite
ment on board was for a time most intense, but
was at length quieted down somewhat. The
engine was reversed, the Hamilton was
backed out and run into her slip, and such
of the frightened passengers as could do so hur
ried ashore,tlurnkful to have escaped the calamity
that bad overtaken so many others. The work
of removing the dead and wounded was at once
proceeded with. The body of the dead boy was
removed to the ferry house, and shielded from
the gaze of the curious It was attended by the
father of the lad, who was also a passenger on
the boat, and was standing but a short distance
from him when eo suddenly sent into eternity.
The parent escaped unhurt. Carriages were pro
vided by the Ferry Company, and such of the
wounded as desired it were removed to their re
sideuces in Brooklyn. The remainder of the se
riously injured were taken to the public hospitals
in this city and Brooklyn. Very many of those
not seriously wounded departed for their homes
or places of business without having given their
names or addresses. The following is as complete
a list as could be obtained by the pollee, a section
of whom, under Capt. De Camp, were soon at the
scene of disaster :
George Devoe, not expected to live; at present at
the City hospital.
Aire. hart, taken to the City Hospital ; foot ampu
tated.
Charles Gendloch, slightly injured.
John Thompson is at the City Hospital; his lower
extremities are terribly crashed.
Julia Darby; het thigh was fractured by being
trampled on; is 13 years old, and was taken to her res
idence.
Alfred Iltrt, slightly Injured.
Charles Gross, slightly Injured; went away without
assistance.
aster W. Dusenberry, both feet badly crushed, and
left ankle broken; taken home.
William Brock, cut in calf of leg; injured slightly.

limbs .
William Cunningham. slightly injured; taken to his
residence.

dence.
Mm. Asbury, elightly injured; left for home unat
tended.
Farah Clark,badly Lniured about the head ; bled pro
fusely from the mouth. ears, and nose ; taken to her
residence.
Lizzie Clark, sister of !Sarah, slightly injured; her
right ankle only sprained; also taken to her residence.
Jolla Mahan, elightly injured; taken to her resi
dence.
MI6. D. T. Quimby, slightly injured; taken to her
residence.
Mr. Morrill, feet jammed; taken to his residence.
Miss Boyd, elightly injured,and taken to her resi
dence.
Margaret Mullins, badly injured; taken home
Carloe Kraus, badly injured; taken home.
All the above are residents of Brooklyn.
A list of the dead and injured was kept at the
Beckman street Police Station, and throughout
the day numbers of persons called to Ascertain
the fate of relatives and friends. Daring the
forenoon the mother of the dead boy, who had
been informed of her bereavement, came to
where he lay and would have thrown herself upon
the body but for her husband's restraining arm.
Her frantic onterlea were long continued. By
permission of Coroner Keenan, a jury having
been impanneled, consisting of some of oar old
est merchants, and viewed the body, the latter
was taken home. It is understood that the Ferry
Company will defray all the burial expenses.
The reports of the accident on the street in
both cities were very much magnified, many as
serting that six or eight persons were killed, and
ten times that number wounded.
Owing to the impossibility of procuring the
necessary witnesses, the investigation into the
circumstances of the affair was postponed until
yesterday, Coroner Keenan meanwhile accepting
‘i5,000 bail each for the appearance of Albertson
and White, who were taken into cutody soon
after the accident. Mr. Cyrus P. Smith, the
Managing Director of the Ferry Company, be
came surety for both.
J. W. Albertson, allot of the Hamilton, makes
the following statement: Our boat, the Hamil
ton, runs on a line with the Clinton. This boat
had the same trouble on the New York side the
trip before, and so we Rot a load of over a thou
sand people, and were weighed down in the water

came up near the ferry houses a Southern
propeller (this was wa the Gulf City), two piers be
low, that they were hauling into her slip, let go
her stern ropes and slowed round on her bow
close by our pier, so as to cut off all sight of it.
We had to sheer off so as to keep out of hitting
the propeller, and this took the Hamilton right

chained to the_ ferry bridge; just ea we went by
the propellor.the down stream eddy caught our
bow and took us right, into the Union, smashing
up our rail and cabin. I. was eating my breakfast
in the wheelhouse, and White had the wheel; he's
been let do this by the company for two years
back, and has often had the wheel before; I don't
blame him any, nor the engineer; he did the best
he could; the trouble was: he propeller threw us

half years; I have had one or Iwo accidents be
fore, but none resulting in loss of life
or serious bodily injury; the accidents
which have occurred to boats under my
charge were simply the breaking of
staneheons, &c.; the report that I signaled the
engineer to reverse the engine, but that he was
unable to do so, as the engine was on the centre,
is incorrect; the propeller, the name of which I
do not know, was alone to blame for the acci
dent; as far as the wheelman was concerned It
was unavoidable; the propeller let go her stern
line and swung around with the flood tide, cov
ering my slip; White pursued the usual course
with that tide, going between the propeller and
the bulkhead; the rate at which we were going
and the small space carried us into the Union s
pier before we were able to reverse the engine
and back.
Wm. White, pilot of the Union, states: My
boat was lying in the lower slip, New York side,
ready to go out, when the Hamilton came in and
ran under the bow. The Union was not particu
larly hurt. I immediately went down from the
pilot-house to give what assistance I could, and
found the deck hands already there giving help.

The Times correspondent, writing on the 29th
from Madrid, says that Don Salustiano do Olo
zaga will leave Madrid before the end of the
present week and proceed to Paris and London,
in discharge of the Extraordinary Mission to
which ho has been appointed to the Courts of the
Tuileries and St. James. No one here doubts
that it may yet be in the power of the veteran
patriot to perform valuable services in behalf of
his country as its representative abroad.
It is evident, at the same time, that it
would not be easy to find him suitable
employment at home. Long residence among
strangers has seldom the effect of making a man
a prophet among his own people. M. Olozaga
will always be entitled to the respect and admira
tion of his countrymen, but it is questionable
whether ho fully understands or is fully under
stood by them. He seems to be utterly depayse.
A new generation of patriots has sprung up in
Spain, among whom his political notions seem
strangely out of date. Olozaga walks by the
light of his worldly wisdom; the conduct
of his countrymen is determined by faith.
He argues upon precedents, they aim at world
wide innovation; he brings up the rear of hard
bought experience, they march in the vanguard
of hope. Ile clings to the wreck of old state
craft; they are determined, like Columbne,to find
out new worlds or be drowned in the attempt.
Old and disenchanted as I am myself, I confess
I find It impossible to withhold my sympathies
from these noble youths. I confess I have no
patience with M. Oloz,aga. Yesterday ho was
telling us that Spain should not think of
a Republic, "because a Constitutional Mon
archy might be more agreeable to foreign Govern
ments." Presently he insinuated that freedom of
conscience, freedom of faith and worship, was
objectionable, because "it could disturb the peace
of mind of women and children, and give rise to
domestic dissensions, eventually leading to civil
wars." He recommended that, instead of free
dom, only tolerance should be established—a
tolerance, he added, which should be based "on
mutual concessions, and on treaties of reciprocity
with other nations."
Serious Riots in Botterdato.
A correspondent writing from Rotterdam last
night, says The Pall Mall Gazette of the 2d, says:
—"Terrible riots have occurred here. For seve
ral evenings a noisy and turbulent mob have
perambulated the streets, insulting the police
and breaking the windows of houses belonging
to the town 'authorities. The ringleader was a
man who has set himself up as a champion
of the rights of the lower classes. He had
succeeded in raising indignation among
the workmen against the communal author
ities by publishing some pamphlets criticising
various measures and esp-Ptally impeaching the
administration of justice. A good deal or dis
content has, moreover, prevailed among the
wealthier classes, Induced by the communal
classes having proposed to borrow 6,000,000
guilders to construct some public works, the in
terest of which will be raised by a tax upon the
sewers and gutters. During Saturday night a
serious encounter took place between the police
and the mob. Many thousands of persons were
in the streets. The shops were nearly all
shut at 7 o'clock, and bands of men and
boys, armed with sticks, marched
singing and shouting from one point to another.
At 11 o'clock, when the workingmen had spent a
good portion of their weekly earnings in gin,
the tumult became uproarious. The services of
the military were deemed necessary, and both in
fantry and cavalry were sent for from the Hague.
But before the military force could arrive, se
rious fights took place between the mob and the
police, who were obliged to make use of their
swords. Lamp-posts were pulled out of
the ground, the street pavements were
torn up, and the police were literally
besieged. The Town Hall (Btadhuis) was se
verely damaged, all the windows in the building
were broken, and the mob endeavored to set It
on fire. Happily the cavalry arrived at 3 o'clock
in the morning. and succeeded in clearing the
streets. There are many persons wounded, and
some are dead. This morning an additional
military force arrived. The town is quiet now,
but a repetition of the tumult is feared. If any
thing serious should occur I will telegraph."
Mr7MT',W,'IrrMT , IF7T'7I"M'TE*TM.,
"An American in Dresden" makes known some
singular facts in a letter to the Times. The Ame
rican colony in that city formed the majority of
the congregation at the English Church, and con
tributed largely to its funds, so that the church
came to be called "the English and American
Church." Under these circumstances the cler
gyman thought It but proper to introduce
a prayer for the President of the United States,
after that for the Queen of England and for the
King of Saxony. The first time this was done a
gentleman interrupted the service with the ex
clamation, "I thought this was an English
Churrh!' On - the other daya persons left the
building when the new prayer was read. The
clergyman adhered to his practice, and consider
able animosity was roused against him. At
length a portion of the congregation seceded,and
contrived to obtain authority from the Bishop of
London for building a new church to be strictly
"English," and, as it seems, high church. Soon,
however, the Americans found their way into the
new congregation, and the same story was en
acted, although with a different conclusion. The
prayer for the President was introduced, some
of the English objected, and the clergyman gave
war. The Times is confident that if the Bishop
of London had known the circumstances, instead
of authorizing a new church, he would have ad
ministered a severe rebuke to such unchristian

Shocks of earthquake are reported as having
been felt at several iplaces In South Wales, and at
Worcester and at Bristol. Advices from Leam

that both oscillation and rumbling were distinctly
perceptible.
The Swedish Arctic Expedition.
A brief note, addressed to the President of the
Royal Society, Professor Nordenskiiild, written
at Kobbe Bay, September 16, gives a few particu
lars of the Swedish -Arctic—Expedition. The
highest latitude to which the party were able to
navigate their steamer was Si deg. 9 min., where
ice stopped them. This was the end of August;
but a week later the sea was clear and from one
of the highest peaks of 'Parry - Island
"traces only of ice further northward"
could be seen. The exploring steamer,
after taking in coal, sent out for her use to Kobbe
Bay, made again for the north, whether to pass a
winter in the ice or not is at present, uncertain.
Meanwhile, the coal-ship returns to Sweden,

GENERAL GRANT.
General Grant at West Point—Ms De
parture from the City—Enthusiasm.
WEST Pomr, Nov. 15.—Shortly after 10 o'clock
on Saturday morning General Grant, accom
panied by his wife and her brother, General
Dent, left the Metropolitan Hotel, in New York,
for the Hudson River Railroad Depot, on Thir
tieth street, where General Grant purchased
tickets, and the party took passage in the draw
ing-room car for this place. None of the
railroad officers were aware of the in
tended trip of the General and President
elect, until it was announced in the morning
papers. No demonstrations were made
along the route until the train arrived at
Tarrytown. Here a general rush was made for
the car supposed to contain the hero of the war.
"Where's Grant ?" "Where's Grant?" was the
cry, while the people ran up and down the plat
form greatly excited. At last some one, on the
opposite side of the station-ti otise,espied the gen
eral through the half - opened window, and then
the cry went from one to other,' "Here he is!"
"Here ho is!" "Hurrah' for Grant!" "How
are you, General?" Hands were extended
and the General good-naturedly shook hands
with a few of those nearest him. At Sing
cling a number of persons gathered around the
train,which stopped only long enough for a glance
of recognition, the waving of hands and three
cheers for General Grant. The people of Peek
skill were on hand, and it was not long before
they were busily engaged in shaking the hand of
the President elect. Ladles, boys and girls with
flushed faces struggled to reach the open window,
bat were unable to get anywhere near the desired
spot. A number or mechanics, begrimed with
smoke and cinders, were greeted with a nod and
a smile from General Grant. Cheers were given
again and again, as the train moved on. By this
time the passengers in the rear cars awoke to the
fact that Gen. Grant was on board, and before the
train reached Garrison's the car next to the draw
ing-room coach was crowded with people. At a
3i past 1 o'clock Garrison's was reached, and the
party was received by Major Gen. Q. A. Gilmore,'
who saw them safely on board the ferry-boat.
Gen. Pitcher, Superintendent of the Military
Academy, Col. Black and Major Boynton, Adju
tant of the Post, were in waiting, to receive the
distinguished party at the landing. Gen. Grant
shook hands with the soldiers, and called each by
name, in true Western style, while the usual
salute of 13 guns was being fired. The party
were driven to General Pitcher's residence, where
they were to remain during their stay. Every
thing on this side of the river was conducted after
the moat approved military style, and the whole
town is as quiet as though its inhabitants had
gone to a funeraL The object of pen Grant's visit
is to see his son Frederick, who is a cadet of two
years standing at the Academy. "Fred," as he is
called, is said to be doing well in his studies,
though he has been put back one class on ac
count of sickness, which has caused him to be
absent considerably. About 4 o'clock General
Grant, accompanied by Gene. Gilmore, Pitcher,
and others, took a stroll around the grounds, re
turning in time for the General to witness the
evening parade from his window. In the even
ing he and his friends visited Cold Spring. where
they took dinner at Governeur Kimble's resi
dence. At 8 o'clock on Sunday morning General
Grant inspected the cadets during the parade ;
after which he withdrew, and was not seen
much during the day. Many attended the morn
ing services in the chapel, hoping that they
might see him, but he was not there. It is to be
expected that the General will leave for New
York to-morrow (Monday.)
With the exception of General Grant,everybody
seems to be inspired with "the military" idea;
the General is the least military of them all in
appearance. He walks with great freedom com
pared with the "machine" locomotion of the
cadets. It is a noticeable fact that the people up
here never describe curved lines in their walks,
but rather take direct tacks when they wish to
alter their course.—N. V. Tribune.

The peaceful calm which has pervaded this

excitement, has enabled men and women to for

relieve their anxiety for the country's safety, and

Entertainments of all kinds have increased in
number during the past two weeks, and we are
promised so many and of such variety curing
the rest of the season, that it will be very hard if
every taste in the community is not gratified.
Below we present an account of the amusements
already announced, some for this week, some for
the early future.
—The first of Mr. Carl Wolfsohn's series of
classical concerts will be given on Friday after
noon next in the foyer of the Academy of Music.
Mr. Wolfsohn will be supported by Mr. R. Hen
nig and Mr. E. Colonne. Of Mr. Hennig's rare
ability as a violoncellist we nave already spoken.
He is an earnest and devoted artist, and his play
ing is characterized by very unusual sentiment
and feeling. The favorable impression made by
him on Saturday week at Musical Fund Hall will
be confirmed and increased by his performance
on Friday. Mr. Colonne will be likely to win
even higher honors. His violin playing is of the
most brilliant and elegant description. He is a
Frenchman, and his method is that of the
French schools, expanded and improved by care
ful study of German models. It has all the dash
and verve and spirit of the one, with the broader
intelligence and deeper significance of the other.
His touch is superb, and, like Mr. Hennig, he
is an enthusiast, without an aspiration beyond
perfection in his art. Mr. Colonne will make
his debut at Mr. Wolfsohn's matinee, and it is
to this latter gentleman that we are in
debted for the introduction of these two
great players to-onr public. -The trio should be
able to accomplishgreat things, for Mr. Wolf
sohn is not less an elegant performer than his as
sociates, and he has undertaken to open to the
public a new world of art in presenting composi
tions which fairly represent the new romantic
school of music—a school which is to the old
what passionate poetry is to placid hymnody. It
is characterized by intensity, vivid expression,
depth of feeling, variety of emotion, and general
richness of effect. It is the school of which Men
rielssohn's `,`bongs Without Words" are the type.
tinder Mr. Wolfsohn's tutelage we believe the
people will learn to appreciate and admire a
school which has remarkable merit. The pro
gramme for Friday is as follows:
Sonata, Piano and violin. (A' minor) Rubinstein
Ave Marla," Schubert—Piano Transcrip,
Shakespeare Serenade,' lion Liszt
Elegie, ............... Bazzini
50nata—Vi01in............................ ..... Viotta
Tito, (op. 97, B Flat Major,)Plano, Violin
and iVioloncello. Beethoven
—The only present promise of Italian opera
this season is that which is announced for the
twO2sveclia:: Succeeding the 130th - instant, at the -
Aeademy - of - Mnsie, - by Max Maretzek. Maret
zek's company contains some very eminent ar
tists, among whom we may mention Miss Agatha
Stater,Madame Rotter, Signor Brignoll,Theodore
Habelmann and Ronconi. The following operas
will be produced in succession: Faust. Martha,
Fra Diavolo, Fidelip, L'Etolie du NortLTrovatore,
Vespri Siettiani, Ennui, Don Giovanni, Rattner°
di Seviglia.
—Max Strakosch will ghre us a prelude to the
Italian opera on the evenings of the 26th and 26th
irate. at Concett Hall. Miss Kellogg is his pri
ma (tonna and there 'is a fair probability that the
famous Miss Alido -Topp - will perform neon both
occasions, The Prograrnmes for the two con
certs contain very choice selections of popular
and chissical Music, which, with the reputation
of the'artists of the company, should certainly
attract large 'audi(mces.- Everybody will, of
mum be anxious to hear Miss Kellogg now that
popultir appreciation of her merit has been quick
ened by her European successes.
• Mies CarulineLlitetaffrevill--give a concert _
at Musical Fund Hall on next Friday evening.
She will be assisted by M'me. Henrietta Behrens,
Miss Helen McCaffrey, Idr. (leo. - Simpson'and
Mr. Theodore Thomas, of New York, an d
Mr. Win. G. Dietrich. The programme is varied
and excellent, embracing selections from the
masters, and a number of popular ballads.
—That Ethiopian phenomenon, Blind Tom,
will give the first of a short series of concerts at
Concert Hail, this evening. Thomas has enlarged
his repertoire since his last appearance here, and
while he will continue to give much of nis old
music, be will evolve from the instrument much
that is novel.
—Mr. Theodore Thomas has still under consid
eration—we are informed—the projecf of bring
ing his orchestra here from New 'York, and giv
ing three or four first-rate concerts. The vital
and very interesting question is, Will the enter
prise be supported ? We think it will, if the per
formances are as excellent as they should be.
Philadelphians can stand a very large amount of
good music.
—Mr. Edwin Forrest will inaugurate a season
of regular drama at the Walnut this evening
with hisvery excellent personation of "Riche
lieu." Mr. Forrest has many admirers, and ho
always attracts immense audiences. Fortunately
he has not found it necessary to abandon "the le
gitimate" and bait his histrionic hook with
sensationalism. Mr. Forrest has too much re
spect for high art ; and, besides, he would hardly
appear to advantage as the oppressed and vic
timized hero of thwarted love, inconsolable an
guish,and sweet triumph after five acts of agony.
—The Lancashire Lass holds her own at both
the Arch and Chestnut Street Theatres, we are
sorry to say.
—The American announces a miscellaneous
entertainment for this &kerning.
—The Germans of the city are in earnest in
their intention to build, a' theatre to be devoted
exclusively to the Teutonic drama. If there is a
new theatre wanted at all,it is of this description.
With a good company it will be nearly certain to
succeed. There are enough intelligent Germans
here to give it bountiful support. It should be
of the best class, and when an artist like Janatt
schek comes here, she should appear in it.
—Mr. Charles H. Jarvis will give the first of
his series of six classical soirees in Natatorium
Hall, on Saturday evening, the 28th inst. He
will be assisted by Mr. G. Guhiemann,
and Mr. H. Hennig, violoncellist. The follow
ing programme has been prepared:
1. Sonate—Piano and Violoncello, (op 45.

Messrs. Jan - is, Gohlemann and Hennig.
—Tun THEATRE Comous,formerly the Seventh
Street Opera House, located on Seventh street,
below Arch, was formally opened on Saturday
evening last with an entire new company, under
the management of Mr. J. C. Gregory. The per
formance is of the variety order, similar to that
of the America consisting of gymnastics, sing
ing, dancing, cdffitc sketches, &e. The house
was crowded, and the performance for a first
night passed off very well. The miniature circus
introduced by Mlle Gertrude, consisting of the
trick pony "Aurora," trained horse "Diann,"
trained dogs, goats, etc., was quite rt feature bat
the stage is almost too small for such an exhibi
tion. In the divertissement of the "Gathering of
the Clans," it was evident that the spectacle had
been too hastily placed upon the stage, the chil
dren, as well as others, being not quite as famil
iar as they might have been with their parte. The
Gregory brothers are very clever gymnasts.
Mlle. Augusta and Little Bessie aro also excel
lent performers in their line. An officer sta
tioned in the gallery to control the "gods who
there resort" would be a blessing, for they
were excessively noisy on the opening night.
This evening a varied performance will be given.
On Thursday Robert Butler and William Allen
will have a joint benifit.
—Another fine audience greeted Carl Bentz and
Mark Hassler's Orchestra last Saturday after
noon, upon the occasion of the fourth matinee of
the present season. Haydn's "Surprise Sym
phony," No. 6, was performed. This, like many
other symphonies by the same master, seems
rather fancifully named, as It is the second move
ment only—the andante, which appears to re
joice particularly in surprises; 'but, as the best
analyses represent this movement as being that
from which the opus derives its name, we, of
course, must accept the conclusion as sufficient.
The work is not so characteristic as others of
this composer. It stands now by itself, written
In a style more peculiar to itself than almost
any other of Haydn's Symphonies. More diffi
cult to comprehend than the easy flowing style of
Mozart, as exemplified particularly in comparison
with the great "Jupiter" which was performed
last week, it leaves a much less extended impres
sion upon the mind than any of the symphonies
of the most wonderful of melodists. In the
•`Surprise Symphony" one idea is worked up in
such a multiplicity of forms that the individuality
of the composer is at once recognized,
notwithstanding that the work is, in gene
ral, very different from the best known
style of Haydn. The third movement, a minu
etto, is very graceful, and its forcibly marked
triple • time, together with its strikingly simple
melody, make its first few bars appear as light as
the most graceful of waltzes. The finale t allegro,
is much the finest movement, and the develop
ment of the theme, by means principally of the
strings, is very beautiful. The rendering of the
symphony was very good, but not equal
to that of the "Jupiter" a week since.
The orchestra evidently felt the drain upon
the number of its members, occasioned by the
matinee at the Academy of Music. We do not
suppose that this will often occur, as the very
great success of the Orchestra Matinees thus far
warrants the employment of every effort to keep
in the best graces ok the public. We would sug
gest that the compositions of Mr. Fiefke be a lit
tle less indulged in, as the waltz, "Gemtiths
Tiine," was more than a sufficiency of this writer
without the addition of the Fortification March.
A Lannor waltz, or oven a Labitsky, would be
much more acceptable to the majority of the
audience,owing both to their musical superiority
and their greater brevity. Such introductions
upon the programme as the "Beautiful Angel" of
Graben Hoffmann, played most delightfully
as a cornet solo by Mr. Wm. Ewers, are really.in
excellent taste , furnishing, afi they do,a Simeon
trust to the powerful concerted music, and at the
same time giving the individual artists of the or
chestra an opportunity to exhibit their abilities
to a better advantage. A pot pourri occasionally,
of the different standard operas, in which a wider
field is afforded to the severval instruments to dis
play their capabilities in solo passages, would be
very acceptable, judging from the groat favor
with which solos have thus far been received. In
every instance this season,when an instrumental
solo has been upon the programme, the favored
performer has received an enthusiastic encore.
• The next . tnatinde-will- •take place .on Saturday
of this week, at 3X P. M., at the Musical Fend
Hall.
We understand that the subscriptions for the
evening performance of the Reformation Sym
phony, are rapidly increasing, and there is a fair
promise that Messrs. Bentz and Healer will be
able to produce it.
—On account of the news received, per cable,
of the death of Gloacchino Rossini, at Paris, on
Saturday last, the Germania Orchestra will de
vote the entire programme of next Wednesday
afternoon's rehearsal to his compositions, with
the exception of the March Funibre of Beetho
ven's Erolca Symphony,whieh,will be performed
in honor of the departed.
