BY WAY OP INTRODUCTION. Before detailing the events of the afternoon let me say only a word about the dinner given by the city to the President at the Revere Heuse last night. But twelve of the three hundred journalists here were invited. I was one of the elect. The banquet was a Magnifi cent success-;--chiefiy because the new era of silence was , inaugurated. There were toasts, and good material with which to wash them down, but speech-making was not in favor. I lave no doubt that some of the City Couticil men, and not a few of the gucts, came primed and hituled, ready and anxious to bang out a number of able remarks at the company: But Grant only. bowed an acknowledgment to the compliment offered to him, and the good ex ample was folloWed,-by request- of the com mittee,- excepting in the case of two or three persons,-of whom Minister Thornton was one. He made a very short, and a very good speech. He was kind enough not to retaliate on us fot Reverdy Johnson . The President left thecity before the dinner concluded. He will remain at the house,of Secretary BoutWll, at Groton, for a few dys. He appeared to be tired out. THE ritoonAntatE This afternoon's-- programme, already pub lished in your columns,was arranged to suit the tastes of the masses, who came to the: building overflowing with Isitriotic ardor. • The concert was lirst-rate, when we consider, the poverty of. some of the selections; and the enthusiasm was positively immense. But, upon the whole, the programme and the performance of yeSter day were much more satisfactory to - the culti vated persons in the audience: THE .CROWD I think that the great building was even fuller to-day than yesterday. There was not enough spare room on the floor for fly to wash his face with comfort. And besides these, there were, without exaggeration, full ten thousand persons upon the outside with tickets In their hands, unable to obtain admission. It was the.most tremendous crush in whi chi ever participated. Why the fat men in the crowd did not conic out thinner and longer I do not know. There was pressure enough to squeeze the sap from an oaken log. The heat in the room was suffocating, and ladies fainted by the half-dozen, the room reserved for correspondents contained num berm of them in various conditions of syncope $lOO,OOO worth of tickets were sold for this concert. I am happy to say that all of the unfortunate ladies revived speedily under the vigorous fan ning and sprinkling of .gallant scribblers. The police arrangements are so good that there was no actual disorder, and surprisingly little fuss. • A ROBEELY TRUTH Standing between: the chorus and the audi ence, and examining several thousand female faces critically, to-day, I was impressed more deeply than ever with a fact Which becomes painfully obvious to every' lingerer in the wizulin,,or -ways otßoston. It maybe ungallant to tell this truth, but I risk the consequences, and say boldly that I never, in any one place r saw so many women who lacked the grace of personal beauty. I have not met a really pretty woman since I came here; and in all that great . chOtus and audienc4 I could, with the aid of a poWerful lorguette,lind but half-a dozen or so-ladies whose counteuanCes were really attractive. Perhaps familiarity with the ftequent loveliness of Philadelphia has made me more particular than I should be, but it is not possible to deny the fatt that out of any hundred women whom yott7"meet in the street here, hardly One would have a face the comp. terpart . of which you would care to put in a photograph allmni. I believe the Boston ladies excel in all the other graces to a re markable extent, and so the.just balance is preserved. It is surprising, too, how they run to eye glasses. Even the sehOolgirls wear them be fore "they put their hair up;" and it is cur-: rently reported that when,. to-day, General Grant reviewed the Cadet Corps—consisting of Youths of ten or tWelve—eVery small urchin in the line gazed at the President over . apair of eye-glasses squeezed on to the end of his nose. A hoot-black, with the same optical instru ment in prominent position, was seen hover ing around the hotel this morning. .I believe' the notion here is that eye-glasses giVe the wearer a literary look, and for that appear ance every true Bostonian yearns from in fancy to 'four-scorn and ten, if he liveS that Ton: • THE: CONCERT A LUTHERAN 011013A1IC.

A kEBTIirAL MARCH..': Next came the „March "Peace Festival," composed for the occasion by. Mr. Janotta, of this city, a pupil Mercadante, and the arran ger of the entire music for the Jubilee week. This gentleman has achieved 'Something of a reputation as a composer of other works, and Is quite in fawn' with the - " Citizens of. Boston. The. - March is a spirited,' wellzeongtructed alleir, not particularly noteworthy for the no /velty of its themes, frequently suggesting his master or Verdi, but'at,thesame time otutemp to the level of similar productions, anddestined to the usual oblivion after a brief term of popularly. ) • * I : ABETA. The fair Parepa-Rosa then; tripped out in a graceful but _ponderous' manner, and the or ehestraiduned up for Robert . tot KruefaititeP ft was a somewhat singular selection for a con- , eert of this kind; perhaps entirely aelnaP propriate one;' but,the glorious =ruler in which it was sung by the . great 'artist : atoned I for the error of taste and Judginetit., She,sang wonderfully. Her cl•ear; delicious;eanaty.like notes filled the whole `,lmildlogiVritlX.the very glory of melody, so that person in that ,vast•audience caught the Singer's enthiisiass34 and held hisbreath while she poured forth the sweet and facile notes. It was a noble work of art,—and the people' appreciated' its 'great ness,- for =they Cheered 'as loudly as' they did yesterday when the President entered. I think Parepa sank very much better than she has ,at any time during the Jubilee. She sang as if she loved it. MORE VERDI For the third time this week the Anvil Chorus was given by all hands, including the crimson-cladsmitens of the anvils. The per formance was better than aver. They had greater guns outside, and they roared louder than yesterday,—keeping exact time, while the subduers of flame cracked the anvils with a precision which cophlnot have been excelled by 31 ozart himself, if be had ever bad a chanes to try it: All this cannon-firing and big drum beating and firemen striking the anvils seems like quackery to the absent reader; but the effect is absolutely magnificent. A :NEW YORK FAILURE. The _poorest, weakest,,most deluded item upon the programme of .this concert was. , na turally enough, the work of a New York man, the 'so-called "Overture Triomphale," coining from the factory of alir.:Converse;:of Breoltiyn, - who in the utter Po`verty hiS own ideas, must fain have recourse to Carl Maria von Weber, and the immortal "Hail Colum bia," a theme intrinsically -unheroic and only inspiring from its associations. Mr. Con terse's attempt, then, had no proper place upon the programme; and in view of the fact that there are quite a number of native composers who are at least competent to meet the re quirements of ; thin oemsioti, rant? among svhom 'I might properly indicate our own Fairld.mb, it is quite a pity that a ,judicions -arrangement of the programme bad not overlooked Con verse in selecting one more Wertfiy'..ef the boner. Let me crismiss its piece with the re mark that it was .'only ,rendered tolerable by its performance by this magnificent associa lion of, musicians, and the majestic accom- - paniment of the,„ collossal, chorus. _lt success, 'ldly. appealed te the,.patrjotk . beak and pa triotism-bids criticism be silent.,. , .u.cu ItimputtE. Ido not know that the full effect of this great orchestra, abaft Which my enthusiasm is inexpressible,oiS 'More completely received in anytling,than in the: performance nf such 'productions as the "Prince Piederick" 3fili larY 'March of Bilse, one of 'the most' Snecess ful and popular composers of music of this class in Germany. It was a very careful . and effective performance. This time Parepa-Rosa, clad in becoming yellow, trimmed prettily with black,essayed to warble the "Star Spangledßanner.“ The male voices lea off with a few bass, and then, pure and clear, rose Parepa's voice continuing the melody. Then came the, full chorus, with or gan and orchestra, and heavy artillery outside. The audience frenzied, as they have done every day, and after persistent cheering, for five minutes, Parepa reascended the platform, and it was all done over again. The objection to. the performance was that the power of the chorus and accompaniment was so tremend ous that the solo voice seemed dwarfed almost to insignificance by quick comparison; but the general effect was very fine. TOM MOOUE. "The harp that once thro' Tara's halls" was sung by the choruS,supported by full orchestra, organ and brass bands. It was much more satisfactory than I had Ckpected. The heart of Thomas would have gl'uldened if he could have heard all that mighty congregation of men and women singing the pretty . melody. "WITH TRUMPETS A.T.80." Mr. Arbfickle advanced nest,-with--.silver trumpet in band, and the orchestra thumnuin_ an accompaniment, flourished through the aria from Mercadante's 11Bravo. Arbuckle is the best trumpet soloist in' this country now, if Levy has left it, and, inspired by the gran deur of the situation, and the immensity of his audience, he played grandly, as well as he ever did in his best moments, lam sure. FLOTOW N 0.12 on the programme was the familiar and somewhat hackneyed, but still ‘'lciautiftil over ture to Strucklla. It teas played 13.1, the reed band of five hundred performers, and generally well. Some of the piccolos limped a little, and now and then the umowent lamely, but it ways very well done, judged even by the common' chestra standard--capitally,when we take into consideration the enormous number of musicians,_ and the fact that they had hot re hearSed the overture together. OLD HUNDRED The concert concluded with the Hundredth Psalm, sung by all bands, and played by all the instruments, with the cannon banging gi vigorously in chime with the cadences. The jrogramme requested that the audience would oin in the last verse: Nobody did so, but there was enough- sublime harmony already, for the musicians sang the solemn old tune with fervor and unction. The audience cheered, rose, anddispersed—and the third da 's concert was .oVer.. It was satisfactoril success --so. successful as to demand enthu siastic pr4Lise from a. person 'who had not lis tened to yesterday's performance. . TUI BALL. As I write, the.preparations are being com pleted on the most, magnificent scale for the Gkand Ball at the Coliseurn,this evening. The seats have ail been removed, and one of the grandest dancing-Hoors in the world - will be presented for the beauty and fashion hero assembled, to unite in their share of the cele bration of thiA great Festival of Peace. From present appearances,it cannot prove aughtbut an inspiriting success. ux,..tosT JUDGES. I perbelve that some of — the New York pa pers ridicule the Jubilee concerts,and heartily abuse the managers. .I'hia is to be, attributed entirely, Ao the silly jealousy entertained by many New, Yorkers, ofneighborin cities. I came here, as multitudes of others did, expect ing to have to record the, failure of the great Undertaking; but I Lute/146c1, of, course, to tell the truth about it, whether it failed or not.

Senor Valiente says that Great Britain is about to recognize the belligerent rights of the, patriots. [From the New York Tribune.) The indictment brought in by the Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court against certain members of the. Crtban Junta in this city, of which an account was published by the Tribune yesterday, included the nanies of several gentlemen, viz.: Jose Morales Lemus, Jose M. Basora, William O. C. Ryan, Francis co Ferrer, Jose Mora, John H. Lamar and Mariano Alvarez. Of these Basora, Ryan, Mora and Ferrer were arrested on Wedint;- (lay night; Lemus surrendered himself to the Marshal on Thursday morning, and the whole IWO were released on bail the same daY, Lamar and Alvarez remaining to be accounted for. During all day Thursday diligent search was made for the missing conspirators, and yesterday morning a Cuban gentleman, a member of the Junta, was arrtzted by one of the Marshal's deputies, as Altarez; but upon being taken into custody he told the ofhcer that there mast, be some mistake, as his name was not, Mariano Alvarez, but Ignacio Alfarp. The Marshal was completely: non-plussed at receiving this piece of intelligence,'and at first seemed to be at a loss what to do; but, leav ing Alfaro at the headquarters of the• Junta, where the arrest took place, he started off to lay the case before the proper authorities, and ' get instructions as to how he should act. After an absence of about two hours he returned to the rooms or the Junta, and rearrested A Wan), who protested against the.proceeding, and in .sisted upon seeing his lawyer to,know whether the arrest was legal. So reasonable a demand in the circumstances could not be refused, and so the Marshal and his prisoner, accompanied by several of the friends of the latter, went in search of Judge Porter, Alfaro's• legal adviser. That gentleman was soon found,amithe whole party immediately proceeded: to; the office of Marshal - Barlow, ,Judge Porter calling the attention of that functuary to the wrong which it was attempted to inflict upon his client. It Was then proposed,in the way of compromise, that Alfaro Should give'a sort of provisii:mal bail, but against this Judge Porter protested., insisting that as Altar° was not the party named in the indictment, they had no right to arrest him. There was no getting over this, and so Selior Ignacio was unconditionally set at liberty, the 31a,ha.1 being left to find Senor Mariano Alvarez, of whose whereabouts up to a late hour last night no clue had been found: As to John H. Lamar, the other absentee, nobody knows anything w_lvdpver_ahout him There is but one Cuban in New York by the name of Lamar, but his patronymic consists of two words—La Mar--not of one word of two syllables, as with the name in the indictment. Besides, this gentleman cannot' be the party charged in the indictment with an offence committed in this city on the,-lst of, May last, for he arrived here froin• Havana only last week. In the New York Directory for this year the naine" of Lamar occurs but onee,: but it is that of:Lewis Lamar, a harmless whitewasher of the complexion , known as "colored." There was; a Lamar, a Southerner, who was concerned ;years ago in filibustering expeditiens to Cuba,..but•whether he is the party•muneclin the indictmenV4 re— mains to be seen. At any-rate, it seems 'that the prosecution of the Cuban Junta already be to develop the farcical element. We learn that the trial of the indicted par ties is fixed for the third Monday drt October -next. • - f From the N. Y. World.] • -- . --- Yesterday 'was the busiest day among those Interested in the Cuban cause that has been known sinee they commenced their opera tions. The arrest of the Junta has had the effect of hurrying them to consummate certain' arrangements which had heen in progress up to .that limo., Yesterday, at about noon a number of mien who had been enlisted in Philadelphia arrived in this city, and were at once 'coned to different stations, some being brought over here, but the majority of them cared for in Jersey City. The men being cared for, the officers who came on with them were taken in a carriage to a certain house in Fifth avenue,where they were joined by other officers about to leave from this city, and where were assembled all the members of the - Jiinta and many of the friends of the ,cause. A great many of tho party were ladies, who' have been fromfirst to last most active in Cuban operations in this city. These had an, especial interest in 'the pieseut meeting, its ob ject being nothing, less than the presenta tion of six regimental flags to tho' officers about to embark, and which were most beautiful in texture, and my informant assured me had been made entirely •by the hands of the ladies who were now assembled to make the presentations. The company be-, ing. all assembled, one of the members of the to, ou the--part-oftho-ladies,made-the-pre sentations. He said, in substance, that the cause which the flags symbolized was a cause which had been a holy ono ever since man had lived upon the earth; it was the same cause and equally holy in all land.s,it was' the glorious cause of liberty. They were go ing torth upon. a glorious mission, to assist a' people struggling o, .be free, aiming_only.. at the possession . of that boon which is every maiA right, the privilege of making laws for his own government.

My informant • little knew he was talking to one at the time, elae-I should have hardly obtained the infor mation; but 'the way in which the men were embarked would have, deceived' even a World man, and this was the way it was done. Four tug-boats were engaged, the names of which my informant did not or would not re collect—l don't think, he. knew their names; one of these beats was at - Hoboken, another at Jersey City, a third at Brooklyn, and only lone from this city. • As it was thought the risk was greater here than at any of the other place.s named to these tugs proceeded • quietly parties varying in number trout four to eight, not more than eight going in any one party, and as there was nothing peculiar about their dress to distinguish them, their arrival could not cause any remark. Once at the boat, they went at once below, and so were out of sight. The tug, at Jersey City was at a coal wharf, and so attracted no notice whatever, and so from 3 yesterday afternoon until about 8 last evening these little groups of men were mov ing through our streets and crossing the differ ent ferries, and no one noticed them, awl even I did not know anything about it. until they were off. The Brooklyn boat lay about mid way betvreen the Wall and Fulton Ferries, so , that some of her freight passed over'one ferry and some over the other. The New York - boat starts first. At 8.30 o'clock last evening the boat which had been receiving men in this city, left the pier, foot of Thirteenth street, North _River, sheered over to the Hoboken side, and blew one short blast on her whistle, which was 'answered by the tug at the ock, which once started, and the two - proceeded in com pany.

A Wife Murderer. [From the Newark, N. J,, Atlvertieerl Many of our readers will remember a man named William D. Potts, whis, ten yearsi ago, kept a Botanic Dispensary at No. 140 Broad street, nearly opposite Trinity Church, and advertised himself quite extensively as a Botanic Physician. Indeed, his swarthy com plexion, inevitable black garments and ever-, present cane, were so often encountered upon' Broad street, that very few of ourthen com paratively small population could have failed to notice him, and retain a vivid impresSion of his peculiar appearance. Numbers patronized him; sone because they believed in the Botanic system of treatment, and a chosen few for the reason that he pretended to cure by the laying on of ,his hands;--for he was; according to -his own story, the "seventh sou of the seventh sou." Net Withstanding the fair patronage he re ceived, and the fact that hefinally (being a widower) married a young Woman very re spectably connected here, he finally turned his face westward, and after two years' ab sence, was encountered in Fond du Lao, Wis consin, by a, gentleman of this city, who had known him well when he resided here. In deed, the doctor's little boy called his father's attention to his .old Newark acquaintance, iu the reading room of the hotel at which he was stopping; brit when our informant proffered him his hand, and called him by name, the doctor dtew himself up and said: "My name is not Potts, sir, it is Dr. Duvall." And that was the only reply which I could he extracted from him, when questioned by our informant as why he should disoWn his name and former acquaintances. Before leav ing-Fond du Lac, •the - gentleman referred'to learned that the whilom Dr. Duvall was doing an extensive business among the female por tion of the population of that place as a practi tioner of the charlatan description, and his flaming hand-bills covered the fences and trees on every side. But the Doctor was not,,a man to become strongly enough attached to a place to secure "a local habitation . and a name" in it, and we next hear of him at Janesville, Wisconsin, where he again set up business as a Doctor, and by persistent advertising and bombastic boasting,succeeded in once more driving what is termed in the West, "aland office business." Soon after be took up his abode in the latter place; the wife whom he married in this city died, and anon the Doctor married another, and now we come to the narration of the rtliug e. untwhicirhas-gitise to this ar ticle, viz.: the arrest of the. Doctor on the charge of having murdered his, last 'wife, whose death took place tindet such peculiar and mysterious circumstances as to cause sus picion of foul play on the part of her husbantL A postmortem examination of the body of . the dead wife was made by an eminent physi _cian... of -Chicago, find —sufficient- strychnine found in herstomach to cause death to a doien persOns: Besides, :stitHeient eVidence was taken 'before a Coroner's 'jury to warrant a verdict of, "murder in the first degree and the Doctoi as arrested and incarcerated, and at the Sitting of the Grand Jury at Janesville a few , days since, indicted for murder, in ac cordance with the facts developed by the Coroner's Jury. Our information in regard to: this affair, - comes from' the mast re liable source, and we likewise learn from those Who knew Doctor Potts best when he resided in New iersey,• that his two former wives also died quite mysteriously, the first one having been - found at the foot of 'a pair, of stairs, in the ; house in which the Doc tor': resided in Plainfield,' with. her neck broken, and no one to witness the tragic, event but the Debtor 'himself.

Tribune.] • • • WAsturturoii, June 18:—One of the largest seizures made under the Internal. Revenue lawS, and probably the largest of .the class in the United States, has just been ellbeted in Baltimore. A system of organized frauds has for many months been practised by the MI- • mans, who own the largest distillery in , the country, and the frauds they.have committed . under the knowledge and 'connivance or Withers of the Revenue, will amount, it is thought, to several - hundred thousand dollars. Offiebrs sent to the diStil-- lery to investigate its allitim report that the p . o. dillies for fraud were the most perfect they had ever known. it was discovered' that 'the- owners had violated every section of the reVe-- nue laws pertaining to the manufacture - of Spirits, and that the frauds extended •back a. long period. The Ullmans did a very extensitre and profitable business in the componndingef liquors, making oldwhisky,out of new,pre?ar-- ing peach braiily - ,Bcc - The-establislinient its parts is represented to be the most completo in the country. The buildings alone are valued; at SIOO,COO. The evidence is so perfect that it will be impossible for the owners to evadethe law relating to, seizures. All of the revenue officers responsible for the honest management , of the distillery have been superseded, andthe Commissioner is rigidly prosecuting them. There is no, doubt the frauds were perpetrated witlitheir free knowledge and consent. Seve ral storekeepers and gaugers were indicted by the Grand Jury to-day. NEW JERSEY .11ATTEW4..
