Instead of presenting a number of disconnected groups, as is usually the ease in an exhibition of Tableaux, an effort will be made to aflord a eompleto outline of the favorite story of -Faust, by means of Tableaux Vivants, or groups changing in view of the audience. « In order to illustrate the story as perfectly as posssble several new scenes have been painted expressly by Bussell Smith, Esq.. Ar tist of the Academy of Music, and new cos tunics have "been made by AY. C. Desmond,Jlu , Race street. The machinery is likewise new,, and several oflccts will he attempted which are believed to he novelties in this country. Each illustration will bo accompanied by ap propriate music selected from Gounods Opera of Faust.” The proceeds are for a be nevolent purpose and we hope that it may be an entire success. ■ . .. At the Academy of Music, this evening, the Brignoli Opera Troupo will appear in Don nizetti’s charming opera, Lucia de Lamrner moor. To-morrow night II Trovatore will be given, with Mdme.

Official Sanitary Visit.— At noon, yes terday, the Sanitary Committee of the Board ot Health paid its annual visit of inspection to the district of Bedford or Alaska street and adjacent.. - The party Consisted of Dr. Thomas Steward son, Chairman, Messrs. Charles B. Barrett, Edward Bennett and Henry Davis, of the , Committee; Mr. William P. Troth, Chief Clerk; Messrs. James Steel, Geo. Morrison Coates and Samuel T. Canby, of the Board ; Mr. John E. Acldicks, Health Otiicer; Bev. Mr. Long, and one or two gentlemen con nected with the press. The party was under the escort of Sergeant-Duffy, a very efficient officer, in chaTge of the district, and three or four patrolmen. The inspection occupied nearly three hours, and was as thorough as the time permitted. The result was the development of a horrible condition of affairs throughout the entire dis trict. Alaska, Darcv. Spail'ord, Baker,Lisbon. St. 51 ary’s streets are all in an unclean condi tion, and the street contractors, James Mc- Bride and James fallen were, by common consent, admitted to have failed, grievously, in complying with their contracts. But it was not until the exploring party left the principal streets, and penetrated the narrow alleys leading to back-yards and courts, that the real picture of the “ Bedford Street District” began to reveal itself. With only one or,two exceptions in the whole dis trict, there was no appearance of any attempt having been made to preserve the slightest pretence of outward decency. Sickening odors drove the more sensitive of the party from many of the worst localities, and none hut those of the stoutest nerves and the ut most determination to see and know the worst, were able to endure the sights and smells which outraged the senses at every turn. As a rule, the yards are heaped up with masses of ashes, garbage, ofl'al and other filth. Many of the cellars are filled with stagnant water. Nearly all of the cess-pools are filled to overflowing, and are in a most disgusting condition. The houses are generally m a very filthy condition of de lapidation, and are densely occupied with a mixed population of wretched people who seem to he ground between the upper and nether millstones of Crime and Poverty, until they are reduced nearly to a level with the brutes. The tew places yisited by the Port Physi cian last week, were found to have been cleansed, and white-washed, or closed up. Some of the most otl'ensive establishments are those devoted to the collection of old bones, shoes, rags and street manure, some descriptions of which are sold for tanning purposes. Large quantities of these mate rials are said to be reclaimed from the locali ties to which they are carried by the street and night carts, aud brought hack to be sold to these bone and rag merchants of the Bed ford StTeet District. The bouses in which the wretched popula tion of this district vegetate and die, vary from mere sheds, unfit for sheltering a horse or a cow, to two-story brick and frame tene ments , often without any glazing to the small windows, devoid of any decent furniture, leeking with foul air and dirt, the rooms, eight or ten feet square, often occupied per manently by half a dozen people- of -both sexes, and, in the case of tne “lodging houses,” by fifteen or twenty adults, every night. For these miserable accom modations, the usual rent is five dollais per month, collected with rigid punctuality. The income to the owners of most of these properties is enormously dis proportionate to their intrinsic value. For example, Dougherty’s court is au area in the rear of 780 Bedford street. On one side of it is a row of five one-Htory shauties, with one low unceiled room each, about eight or ten feet square, and two or three two-story houses, of the same proportions. On the other bide are two houses, with three rooms each, opening out to Shippen street. The whole value of. the buildings may be fairly estimated at five hundred dollars as a very outside price. Their annual rental is a little over one thousand dollars, representing, at six per cent., a principal of nearly seumteen thousand dollars! Aud this is about the proportion of rent and value, throughout the district. No improve ment or repairs are ever made. In many cases the water-supply is cut off from failure to pay the tax, and the miserable tenants have to carry their water from a distance, as best they. may. * The visit of the Board of Health, yesterday, excited much interest among the swarming denizens of the district. Men and women flocked around witli tlieir complaints, while other surly fellowtPseetned disposed to evade the examination of their premises, until they found that Bergeant Duffy and his men would cheerfully obey orders to open doors and gates, whether the keys could be found or not. In many of the bouses, groups of lazy-looking, strapping, able-bodied ineu. black and white, were lounging, in sullen indittereuce to the presence of their visitors, suggesting fresh reasons for expediting the erection of the House of Correction. , - In one respect the Bedford street district is sciinewhat improved, though not quite as much as ninety per cent.!” as the enthusiastic police sergeant expressed it. It is safer to visit than It once was, if it is not more savory Many of the thieves aud other bad characters have been routed out. and have changed their base of operations to other parts of the city. But even in this most desirable respect, if wj judge by the physiognomies and general , ap pearance of many or the ill-looking fellows who gathered abdutihe Board of Health party yesterday, the worthy sergeant is not yet within ten per cent, ot a- perfect reformation, by a very large margin. M any cases for immediate notion were yes terday noted down by the Committee, and, although past experience" alone would, not justify the expectation of a prompt and com plete attention to all of these, there, was evinced such a deep interest in the subject, and such a conviction of the urgent necessity of a radical reformation,' that this official visit of the Board of Health may confidently be ex pected to produce the most beneficial results throughout tho entire district. Before Commissioner Biddle. —A rather queer case came up this morning before Hon. Craig Biddle. Doctor E. B. Jackson was arrested by U. S. Detective Officer Gou. Avery. Gen. Avery moves upon crutches. The warrant upon which the arrest was made stated, that on the 9th day of September, 1869, E. B. Jackson “did pass a false,lforged, or altered obligation, or other security of tho United States, with intent to deceive or de •fraud.” Tho principal witness deposed that she was unable either to read or to write. The milk in the cocanut is that (General Avery feels assured that the accused party is justly culpable. - The inculpatory evidence consisted princi pally in certain' checks. Supplementary to them was the testimony as follows : I. B. Wisweli, receiving-teller in the Girard Bank, deposed that he was familiar with the signature of Mr. E. B. J ackson, and that tho signatures to tho pension certificates in ques tion bore the unquestionable sign manual of tiiat well-known gentleman. Lewis Perney testified, under the usual qualification, that he lived at No. 967 Front street; he is a Teuton; from tho Government of tho United States he receives a pension; this pension, he declared, he received through Mr. Jackson; upon a cliecque for pension money, exhibited Dy General Avery, the witness recognized his personal endorsement; ho said that when he signed it he held the pen, and that Mr. Jackson’s clerk guided liis hand; the name pf the clerk in question he believed to be, Mr. Diugwell; witness received upon the cheek the sum of £2B 25 [tho check called for *5l 85. Rep.]; the witness said that he was not taugut.to write, and that, of course, he could not have-;learned the art unaided by a pre ceptor. . • ' , , , Cross-examined—Defendant asked witness if lie had not been entirely satisfied, previous to the prosecution, with the manner in which he had been treated. The witness asked in a hearty affirmative. The father of the de fendant, he stated, had similarly done busi ness for him, and with him lie had concluded to remain a client. He received $46 upon the cbecque produced as evidence. The checque called for 547 85. Mrs. Bebecea M. Miller affirmed that she lived at No. 106 West street, Camden; she knew Dr. Jackson; he had been collecting pensions for her since the death of his (Dr. Jackson’s) father. An alleged forged pension check being exhibited to her,she said that she was unable to read it. In September last, she affirmed, she received her quarterly pension; as usual, through the hands of Dr. Jackson. In that gentleman, she said/she had perfect confidence. The case was.continued until Saturday next. House Bobbery. —Edward T. Betts, resid ing at No. 2017 Ogden street, took his family into the country to visit some friends on Saturday last. It was understood that the servant girl was to visit some of her acquain tances j during the absence, of the family. When "Mr. Betts returned it was discovered that the house had been robbed of a large quantity of silverware and other articles. The matter was investigated by Special Officer McGrane of the Ninth District, and it was ascertained that the servant girl had two ac quaintances there, on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. Each of the three women was visited by a beau on Saturday evening, and all seem to have had a good time in the yard. On Sunday evening the two women again made their appearance, and soon after two men turned up. Then there was another jollifica tion in the yard. During this time it is sup posed that the third man was in the house ■committing tho robbery. Officer McGrane ascertained who this man was, and yesterday went to a marble-yard where he worked, for the purpose of arresting him. The proprietors of tlie establishment would not allow the arrest to he made, and during the parley the supposed thief escaped. Two of the women were arrested, however, for complicity In fliC robbery. They are named Amelia Genther and Anna Elfridge. They had a hearing be fore Alderman Kerr and were committed in default of $l,OOO bail. Coroner’s Inquest.— This morning Coro ner Taylor resumed the inquest on the body of John Boyle, who died from the effects of injuries received on Friday night last, as has already been stated in the Bulletin. Dr. E. B. Shapleigh, the Coroner’s Surgeon, testified—Made a post mortem examination of the body of John Boyle; both eyes were blackened, and there were abrasions over the left eye and left side of the nose; there was blood in the right ear and also bruises on the right hip, side and leg, scratches and bruises on the hack of left hand and on the right and left wrists; there was also a bruise on the back of the head; this might have been caused by a fist or a blow from a club; the abrasions on the forehead could not have been caused by a blow from a fist; they might have been caused by a blow from a paving-stone, or a fall upon one ; the deceased came to his death from meningitis, the result of violence. This closed the evidence in the case. The verdict of the jury was—“ That the said .John Boyle came to his death from violence (blows on the head) at the hands of Thomas Tugman, Francis Mcßride and Patrick Mc- Farland, on the night of the loth instant, at Frankford road and Laurel street.” The parties named in the verdict were com- 1 uiitted by the Coroner. Local Chowder. — The most captious per son couldn’t deprecate the sunny skies oft Qr. i lay. The promenades present a series of dis solving views that to old bachelors must be almost stunning. The Stow Foundation pavement in front of the Custom House is owned by the same company that own'the Nicolson pavement. The location of the company is San Francisco. The former appears to be superceding the latter. It consists simply of blocks ami wedges. It has no floor of boarding, nor is it fastened by nails. It can be taken up almost as easily as the boarding in the Academy of Music when the parquet is floored over for the purpose ef the dance. We are told that last year the company laid 180,000 square yards of the Stow pavement, and not one yard of the Nicolson. In the presence of a con siderable gathering of citizens, this morning, a portion of the section in Chestnut street was taken up and relaid. The oilly additional tiouble was the re-application of the pebbles andSasphalt. The experiment was made at the request of Mr. Fairman Rogers, President of ihe lately-formed Citizens’ Association. The success of the re-laying was rather gratifying than surprising. Any other result was ex pected by no one. An Unprokitahle Investment.— Emma Weaver met a young girl at Second and Coates streets, last evening, and entered into conver sation with her. She finally asked the girl for a dollar, and in return was to show her some sights. A two-dollar bill was passed over,and the two went to a saloon in the neighborhood. There a number of women were assembled. Emma threw the two-dollar bill on the bar, and asked all hands to drink. The girl first mentioned began a gentle remonstrance against using her money in that way, where upon she was set upon by the other women, and. finally kicked into the street. She met a policeman, and told her story. He arrested Emma Weaver. After a hearing before Al derman Becker, the prisoner was sent to Moyamensing. ■ The District-Attorney Cabe.— The case of Furman Sheppard vs. Charles Gibbons, to determine the correct count of the vote for District-Attorney, fvasresumed this morning. Mr. Mann resumed bis argument, going over the details of the figures at length, contend ing that even upon a recount Mr. Glbbons is elected. PHIL A HELP MIA EVENING BULLET! N, THURSDAY, APRIL 2h W- Quick Work-—This morning, about ten o’clock, tbe house of Mrs. Ftfzroy, No. 41 ."Walnut street, was entered arid was robbed o' a lot of clothing valued at $2OO. A servant girl met a man with a bundle on the stair wav. She asked him wbat he wanted, and he said that he,was looking for Mr. Evans’s office— that is on tho first ■ floor. The girl saw the man enter the place and thought that every thing was right, but upon going up stairs dis covered the robbery. Complaint was made at the Detective Office, and Detective Cobb started out on a hunting expedition. On Third street, near Spruce, he met and arrested the thief with the stolen property in his posses sion. The prisoner gave his name as Anthony Haflinger. He was locked up at tho Central Station for a hearing this ■ afternoon before Aid. Kerr. * A Runaway Boy.— A boy named Josnph' Baker, aged about twelve years, was found wandering about tho neighborhood of Thir teenth ana Washington avenue, about throe o’eloclc'this morning. Ho was taken to the Seventeenth District Polite station,and stated that he had run away from his uncle, who re sides in Baltimore. Ho was subsequently taken to the Mayor’s office, and there stated that he had run away from his parents in Washington". On his person was found'a pistol, a flask of powder and a hag of shot. Telegrams announcing the whereabouts of the youth have been sent to Washington. Supbosed Suicide.— This morning the body of an unknown white man was found in a sit ting posture in a wood-yard on Delaware ave nue, above Dock street. The throat of the de ceased was cut from ear to ear.. The cutting had evidently been done with a very dull knife. A small pearl-handled penknife, covered with blood, was found near the body. In one of the pockets of the clothing was a receipt in the name of T. J. Thompson, Western Hotel, Dec. 25,1869. - Accidents. Rebecca McClelan, aged 39 years, residing No. 110 Guthrie street, fell down stairs and broke her ankle this morning. She was taken to tho Pennsylvania Hospital. John Blourne, aged 39 years, residing at 3947 Sansom street, fell off a house and broke his leg. Taken to Pennsylvania Hospital. Robbery in West Philadelphia.— The dwelling of Hon. Ellis Lowis, on Fortioth street, below Spruce, was entered by forcing open a back window, sometime last night. The thieves carried oft some silver ware and forks and a lot of clothing. Accident.— James Keenan, who was en gaged at work in the new manufactory of William C. Baker, at Twelfth and Brown streets, yesterday tell through a hatchway into the cellar, and was badly hurt about tho head. He was removed to his home, No. 918 Gilbert street. Presentation. —Sergeant O’Hara, who has been connected with tho Ninth District po lice, hut who has been transferred to-the Eighth District, was this morning presented with a handsome silver-mounted, revolver by his former associates. The presentation speech was made by Lieut. Wm. H. Souder, and was responded to by Sergeant O’Hara. Fatal Result.— David Swartz, residing at No. 1 Vincent avenue, died this morning, from the effects of injuries received by falling down stairs on Monday night. An Infinite Variety.—lf the taste of a lady is illustrated in the pattern of her tea cups, that of a gentleman is told in the char acter of liis undergarments. A man may commit a forgery in a faultless shirt. That the same man could organize a riot, or get up a street brawl, would be a simple impossibility. To a gentleman of pronounced taste aninspec tionof the spring offerings in under raiment of Messrs. J. W. Scott & Co., No. 814 Chest nut street, is an equivalent to a tour, to an artist, through the galleries of the Louvre. The stock of this enterprising firm has been chosen with wisdom so consummate, teat the same garments, English, French and Ameri can, are displayed side by side. The Laporte kid-glove, both for ladies and gentlemen, is a fortunate specialty with the Messrs. Scott. They excel, also, in hosiery and .in the gossa mer textures of silk, or merino, that, in this capricious climate, is worn next to the cuticle by every one who, proposes to take care of health while he has it. A line of percale shirtings was shown to us by slr. Scott, just calculated to add picturesqueness to a regatta, or to give variety to the surface of a pic-nic sward. The trouble is not to tell what these gentlemen have, hut to name something that they have not. Art Prices Last Night.- The final sale of M. M’Huyvetter’s importations brought out a large crowd at Mr. Scott’s gallery, No. 1117 Chestnut street.
