Sunday Edition. October 29 i Lina Edwin’s Theatre.— Mlle. Anneo has Certainly made this handsome little theatre the homo Opera Bouffe, and a very lively, amusing and —table home she appears to bo making ot it. comm., occupied the bo:rda during the first *‘La "but gave way on Thursday to half of the past Wee*., rt ra of “Fleur-de-The.” Lecocq’s charming litt’e regarding this Consideijabie interest was express*'* n-rau had attempt to produce an opera which Mf. -’e Tendered superbly. Miss Edith Wynne sang a o-arm ing song by Bishop a-nd an.aher by Arthur Sullivan, in the same chaste manner th t won for her so many ad mirers upon her first i p.nea rani e here lest week. The glee singing was of a i.uility that we almost despair of everbearing again. It is impossible to say enough in praise of the merits of this troupe, and we can only re gret that tbeir slay among us is so short. We advise ail ifio have not yet heard tn-mto take advantage of the two remai;.. ng performances, for not to have heard the Dolby Baliad Troupe is not to have beard I io most per fect organization of its kind in existence. To-nignta sacred concert will be given, and to-morrow night a bal lad eatertainment, which, we grieve to state, will be their last in this city. R. M. Hooley’s Benefit.—Th© benefit of Mr. R M. Ho iley, whico we noticed last week, takes place on next Saturday afternoon and evening at tho Brooklyn Academy of Music. A rare programme has been prepared for eaeh performance. ‘ln tho after noon tho farce of ihe Good for Nothing,” with Annie Lonsda e as Nan, w.li bo played, and Tony Faster, Cool Burgess, Hughey Dougherty, Noise Seymour, Little Mac, Davo Reed, W. H. Brockway, Frank Kerns, Bobby Newcomb, Kennedy, Cheever, Gibbons, Don Pedro Dorrego. J. 8. Murphy, Fanny Archer, F. Berresford, J. Dixon, H. W. Eagan, Jennie Xagan, John A. He.rmanu (his first appearance in eight years', A. B. Sedgwick, Prof. E. Conner, Billy Harr, John Enwrighc and others will appear in eccen tricities. s..eak stump speee .es, sing comic and sen timental songs, aua dance ail sorts of dances, lather O’Reilly’s brass band have also volunteered for this occasion. In the evening “The Streets of New York” will be peri rmed, with J. B. 8 ud ey, C. T. Pars oe, Muster Sniffen, Joe Sefton, Mrs. E. T. Fletson and Miss Sadie Cole in the cast. Masters George and Willie Guy wih introduce their sreciai tics, and both performances will be varied, interest ing and elo.ant, Cool White and Harry Cunningham wid take the direction ot the entire arrangements for the benefit. Tho performances, aside from the laud a Je object for which they are given, should, from their own excellence, dr w large houses. We sin cerely hope that Brooklyn playgoers will not forget what Mr. Dooley has done for iheir amusement in the past, and that he is now reduced by tho Chicago fire, after saving acquired a competency, to poverty. Ho suou.d have a rousing benefit. Ninth Regiment Band.—The second grand roc.il and instrumental concert by the Ninth Regi ment Baud and Orchestra, was given on Bunday last, It the Grand Opera House, to a numerous and high ly intelligent audience. Tne programme was an ex cellent one, the various selections reflecting great credit on .he good judgment and reftned taste of the conductor, Mr. Carl Bergmann; The instrumental Beleciions were from the best masters, and if the same care is used in making up the programme in future, they will assist largely iu elevating and cul tivating the public musical taste. Signora Farette Bnd Miss Emma Cline, each gave evidence of pos sessing musical talent of a high order m the artistic manner in which they sang tho songs alloted to them. Mr. J. Levy, the prince of cornot players, literally enchanted iho audience with his exquisite playing of the beautiful air, “Robert toi que j’aime.” If we may judge from theenthusi sm exhibited last Bunday evening by the large audience, there can bo no doub of the popularity and success of these con certs. Bidwell and Wilkinson, with Dolli© Bidwell, Liiha Wilkinson, Wallace Britton and Charley Wilkin son and a good company, are said to ha dnina a fine business tn® urauont kau.nn. s DRAMATIC. Booth’s Theatre.—On Monday evening last there was a revival at thia theatre ot the dramatised version of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Guy Manner ing." On that occasion Miss Charlotte Cushman resumed the part of Meg Merrilies, a character in which she has achieved some of her greatest suc cesses. Not only on the American but on tho Euro- A pean stage, and more particularly in the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, Scotland, hassho beon recognized f as the emb odiment of Sir Walter Scott’s It is'oft6 Or hiC 08fc P ow erful, if not .the most P a ri Miss Cushtnan it sbo has no riyal, She has made this cEmcxtd 1 clusively her own for dVoi a quiyter of a century, and anyone who has read Sir novel and wishes to see the real living representation Of one of his most extraordinary creations, should see Mies Cus man as JUcg Merrities. It is many years since we last bad the pleasure of seeing her play the part, bht time does not appear to have robbed her of any of her power, on the contrary, what may have been a disad vantage to her in such parts as Lady Macbeth and Queen Katherine is in this case a positive gain. From the moment she enters upon the stage until her death she monopolizes the attention and interest of her audience. The wild gaunt gipsy is before us, not a representation simply, but a living reality. No one who sees this truly wonderful performance can for tho time realize the fact that this is not the actual woman drawn by Sir Walter Bcott. In her making up of the part Miss Cushman preserves with wonder ful fidelty the description in the novel: so far she is indebted to art for her. resemblance to the great original, but it is in her attitudes and facial expression where she displays how carefully and conscientiously she has studied the part. It is hardly possible to single out anv part of her performance for especial praise, but the death scene is one of the most harrowing and vividly realistic scenes we have ever witnessed. Mr. Waller made a very good Dirk Hatteriaich, and Mr. Anderson was as good as cou.d be expected in Dominie Sampson, but the absence of the Scotch dia lect renders bis representation less effective than it it otherwise would be. Mr. A. Matthison gave a very good representation of young Bertram, singing .tho various songs with good taste and expression, while Mr. Fenno was equally good as tho representa tive of the Liddesdale farmer, DandieDinmont. The little part of Gilbert Glossin was very carefully played by Mr. Nelson Deckfcr, who gave it all tho imporlanco it deserved. Miss Pateman was Juhadfannerinfrand Miss belden Lucy Bertram, and very charming re presentatives of the characters they proved to be. “Guy Mannering” will be repealed this week, and on Monday, tho 6th November, Mr. John E. Owens, tho well known comedian, wi.l commence his en gagement at this theatre in the part of Caleb P‘um mer, in a dramatised version of Dickens’ Cricket on the Hearth.” Wallack’s Theatre —At thia theatre on Monday evening, a new bill was submitted for pub lic favor, consisting of two pieces, “Aggravating Bam” and “The Nervous Man.” In tho former, Mr. C. Mathews sustained tho part of Sani Naggins. In this, as in nearly every part Mr. Mai hews undertakes, his unflagging animal spirits and unceasing flow of natural humor, aided by his finished style of acting, are sure to command suc cess. His reception was of the most enthusiastic kind, and he was very ably supported throughout by Mias Effio Germon, Mr. Stoddard and Mr. Ring gold. In “The Nervous Man” that sterling and ac commplished actor, Mr. John Gilbert, sustained the character of tho sensitive Mr. Aspen in his usual masterly man, while Mr. John Brougham created an immense deal of laughter and fun by his admirable impersonation of Mr. McShane. Tho other charac ters in this play wore all ably filled, and it is almost needless to observe that both pieces were put upon the stago with regard to the completeness even to the smaLest detai.s so characteristic of tho management at this house. To-morrow will be produced Mrs. Contlivre’s time-honorod comedy of Tho Busy body,” with one ot tho most powerful casts which has ever appeared even upon the boards of Wallack’s Theatre. It will include Air. C. Mathews, Mr. John Brougham, Mr. John Gilbert, Mr. J. B. Polk, Mr. Ringgold,- Miss Plossy Mordaunt, Miss Effio Germon and Miss Helen Tracy. Such a cast as tho above could not we think bo equalled on any stage either iu this country or Great Britain. •It certain‘y could not be surpassed. On Saturday there will be a “Busybody” matinee. Fifth Avenue Theatre.—At this popular theatre there appears no prospect of Mr. Daly’s “Di vorce” being soon brought to a termination. /The play in itself possesses merit enough to entitle it to a lung and successful “run;” but when, iu addition to this, it is supported by such a powerful cast as Mr. Daly has secured for frs proper representation on the Fifth Avenue boards, a lengthy and most suc cessful career is a necessity. The subject is a deli cate one—one which is of paramount interest to every one, and Mr. Daly has handled it in such a masterly manner, that it is no wonder it has turned out to be one of his happiest efforts. Of the merits of the respective members ot Mr. Daly’s company engaged in this cast little need be said; they are too well known to need eulogium at this time ot day; but we cannot close our remarks without again praising the sterling performance of Miss Clara Mor ris as the despairing but devoted wife and mother. It is a characterization which alone ought to place her in the front rank in her profession. Matinee on Saturday, as usual. Wood’s Museum.—The complete manner in which “The Octoroon” was produced, secured for it tho appreciation of all visitors to Wood’s Museum, and the acting of the various members of the com pany was highly creditable. Other arrangements, however, necessitated its withdrawal, and to-morrow evening Ma?ter Percy Roselle, the famous boy actor, from Drury Lane Theatre, London, will make his first appearance in New Yorkt Master Boselie has been before the English public for a considerable time, and however much we may be inclined to doubt the statement that he is only fifteen years of age, we must admit he is possessed of wonderful tal ent. For several successive years he sustained im portant charac.ers in the Christmas pantomimes, and came to be a great favorite with the Londoners, lie also essayed Shaksperiau characters, with very great success, and was favored with the highest en comiums from tho London and provincial press for those performances. Since his arrival in America ho has been enthusiastically received in Boston and Baltimore, where he played important engagements recently, and his performances at Wood’s Museum are looked forward to with lively interest. He will make his debut in a. play excellently sjiited to his powers, entitled “The Boy Detective,” but during his stay will also probably appear in some of those characters with which his name is associaied on the other side of the Atlantic. The afternoon attraction for this week will be the burlesque of Acis and Galatea.” Grand Opera House.—Eileen Oge” still retains its phice in pub.ic favor and as yet there is neither diminution in tho number of visitors or iu the appreciation bestowed by them on the many fine features of this beautiful Irish play. The hay making and ruined mill seem s are greatly admired, and the contest with the constabulary invariably arouses the enthusiasm of the audience, lhe acting is very fine, the incidental song and chorus excel lenty rendered, and the general production of Eileen Oge” such as to render it long popular at the Grand Opera House. Matinee on Saturday. Olympic Theatre.—At this theatre “Hump ty Dumpty” still occupies the boards, so that we nave but little to remark further than that although it has now been running for a considerable length of t>me, there seems to be no prospect of its withdrawal. The house is well filled every night, and Mr. Fox’s eccentricities are received with as much cordiality and enthusiasm as when it was first produced. Mat inee performances are given on Wednesday and Sat urday, as usual. Bowery Theatre.—-After a highly successful engagement of two weeks, Mr. Joseuij Murphy ap peared last evening for the last time this season, and to-morrow evening Mr. Freligh wi 1 present an en tirely new and original local sensational drama, writ ten expressly for Ins theatre by Stanley McKen na, Esq., and entitled “Crime; or, Tho Secrets of City Lite.” In order to give full effect to the vari ous telling portions of the new play, an engagement has oeen effected with the celebrated actress, Miss Charlotte Stanley, who will appear in the principal character, 'i'he drama will contain, among several ether new and striking effects, a thrilling street-car sensation, and we are told abounds in interesting and effective incidents. Splendid new scenery and mecuauical arrangement f have been prepared, a strong and poweilul cast arranged, and everything liaely to secure tho success of the new play, done. Native talent should invariably be appreciated and encouraged, and we trust this new aspirant for the lame of dramatic authorship, will meet with proper encouragement on every side, and that the new play will be entirely successful. A dramatic and musical entertainment will be given at the Bowery Theatre, on next Friday even ing, in aid of St. James’ Industrial School, under the auspices of the Young Men’s Sodality. The object of the benefit is to procure funds for the education, clothing, and feeding of the poor little homeless and and houseless waifs of the Fourth Ward. The management have given the theatre, without charge, for the evening, and actors from every comi.any in the city have volunteered their services, and the en loriainments will be exceedingly interesting. An appeal to the charity of the east-aiders seldom meets with coolness or neglect, and this one will not, we feel assured. No more worthy charity could be re ceiving the fostering care oi a generous public. Mrs. F. B. Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre.— Anxious to at once secure for her splendid new theatre a reputation for the speedy presentation of all available novelties, and the splendor of their production, Mrs. Conway has presented for the de lectaiion of the Brooklynites. Mr. Augustin Daly’s latest and greatest success, “Divorce,” a drama of the times.” With the powerful company at her command, we expected that Mr. Dalv’s play would roeeivo great justice at the hands of this most 1 talented manageress, but must at once acknowledge that the splendor of its production at. Brooklyn theatre is even greater than we had ever anticipated. The scenery is exceedingly beautiful, and reflects 1 the utmost credit on tho accompli!hed artist of the establishment, Mr. Harley Merry. “The Summer residence of AZ/red Adriance, on Long Island, with 1 view of the Sound,” is a very effective set scene, but the old convent ruins,” in the fourth act, is really one of the prettiest pictures ever put upon a stage. 1 The furniture and appointments are in accordance L with the beauty oi the scenery, and the general effect particularly satisfactory. To the merits of the play we have already referred on its original production in this city so we will at once proceed to give our opinion of the acting. Of l the many characters in which Mrs. Conway has ap peared, we question much hi she has ever achieved a more genuine success than in that ot Fanny Ten Eyck. Her conception of the character is very fine, 3 her treatment of it superb. Whether as the young unmarried lady, the id-used wife, or the affectionate mother, she appears at all times as if her very soul 1 wore bound up in the character. Her indig nation at her husband’s childish treatment of her, her determination to thwart his wishes 1 in regard to her supposed lover, and her grief over the absence of her husband and 1 child were all excellently assumed. We cm 1 scarcely imagine anything more telling on an audi -3 ence of sensitive and refined people than her plead- ing for the restoration of her husband’s love. Asa genuine piece oi emotional acting of the very high* 1 est order the impersonation was beautiful and touch ing, and of itself sufficient to stamp Mrs. Conway as an actress of most brilliant powers. Miss Minnie 1 Conway, as Lu Ten Eyck, had a pari just suited to her, and played like an actress of much greater expori t ence than we know she has had. As the wayward, 3 impatient gir anxious to obtain a separation from a 1 husband, only too good for her, she fully entered 3 imo the spirit of the character, and iavored us with 3 an impression, not only artistic and graceful, but _ withal natural in the ex renic. Miss Ella Burns gave 3 a very pleasing representation of the mo e prudent and sautib.e of the lady members of the family as 3 the niece, Grace, dependant on the fashionable in -3 triguing aunt, Mrs. Ten Eyck, and the latter charac ter had a most satisfactory exponent in the talented Mrs. George Farren. Miss Fanny Reeves in the small part a.lotted to her, as Flora Penfold, gave proo t of much ability, and Mrs. Biutone, as Mrs. Kemp a as excedent-y suited. Mr. Frank Roche is aver? clever and pleasing young actor, and. as Afred Adri ance appeared to very great aavantange. His man net is natural, and easy, his enunciation clear an< distircl, and his action graceful and gont'emauiy h 3 the extreme. He represent the various character is lies of the hero v\ilh abi i-v. and provei 11 ..*v ordinary pow- himselfan actor of much more than -xcdedingly Adriance is a character v. difficult to successfully portray, but AL.. failed not in his treatment of a single u and gave us a really able and succeb.. representation of his foibles, We feel a K sured that Mr. Roche will, during tho season, estab lish himself a great favorite in Brooklyn. Mr. Ed, Lamb had evidently bestowed great attention and careful study on the part of Templeton Jitt. Ho did not sacrifice everything for the sake of being comic, but appeared not to have lost sight of a single point, in his conception of one of a class by no means lim ited. If he appeared now and then to bo just the thing extravagant in his action, it was because, from’ the nature ot the character, he could not well bo otherwise, and we unhesitatingly assert that there ai's few comedians on the stage capable of playing fitt as Mr. Lamb does. Mr. Chippendale, as De Wolf'.Qe Witt, the rather venerable husband of a young B'nd pretty wife, was, as he always is, perfectly His coolness of demeanor, “.vce when treated by the partner of his joys and 8 ab lv represented, and his general acting good. Mr. M. A. Kenne dy madb the most possible of a very disagreeable part, and as the gontk' manl y intriguer, Capt. Lynd, still further earned the i/vor of his admirers. There is scarcely £r part in the cast but is cleverly represented, and we know 110 theatre in which “Divorce” cotfid receive b/^ er play is likely to be long a avonte in tho City ot Churches, and during its presen.' r T° should secure the most decided approbation oi e playgoers of Brooklyn. It will bo continued the present week, and will be represented at the imatinee on Saturday. Union Squahb ThMtbe.—John ißrcJUgfearn’s great burlesque extravaganza, “Po-ca-li(Xn-taX-’ has been the principal feature of the Union Sqyare rhOßr f tre program mo during the week, and has care- fully produced and excellently received. Thr merry airs with which it abounds, haVe been agreeably ren dered, and the side-splitting punti failed not to Uiokle the risible faculties of tho auditors. The seeri el 7 and dresses were pretty and complete, and the vari ous characters ably represented by a cast iucludJffvJ M, W.Leffingwell, W. P. Sheldon, Lev? Rattler, Lizzie Wilmore, Belle Howitt, Lizzie Kelsey, Madeline Har dy, and Mrs, France. Annie Adams reappeared on Thursday evening, and met with a v most flattering we come; and Fred Foster sang “Come Back to Erin” so feelingly as to be honored with a double re* call. Wna. Ashcroft was very amusing in tris differ ent songs, and was, as usua 1 much applauded.' Tne Matthews family gave an entire change of entertain ment, and still further added to their already expen sive popularity. Miss Laurina Matthews applied on the tight-rope, and performed iei-te such as we thought impossible, and Masters Theodore and Willie in their cornice violin playing scene, were very amus ing. Emma Alford is also a great favorite, and ren ders her songs in a manner that could not possibly fail to please. Hughey Dougherty illustrated the powers of the laughing gas on Messrs. Coes, Rattler, Kennedy, and De Angelis, in a style that imparted a deal of its effect to the audtence. This week Lefftngweil will appear in the burlesque of Cinderella” reconstructed. James F. Wambold will return and the wonderful Raynor Brothers will make their first apooaranca; Fayetie Welch will blfo appear, and a sptendid bill will bo submitted. Mr. Butter is rapidly attaining celebrity for his clever management of the new theatre, and its suc cess is now fully guaranteed.- Matinees on Tuesday and Saturday. Theatre Gomique.—-“The Intelligence Of fice” has been capitally performed by Larry Tooly, E. D. Gooding and James Clark, and “Music Hath Charms” by C. ‘White, Johnny Wild, E. D. Gooding, Master Martin, and Connors and Bradley. General Grant, Jr., and Mons Caron and sots have been among the latest arrivals, and each have been well received. The Clodoche Quadrille has been con tinued on the programme; and Ada Wray has en livened by songs and banjo playing. Smith’s Mme” has furnished C. White, Johnny Wild and others an opportunity to air their comic talents; and Jennie Hughes was thoroughly successful iu her various songs. Kitty O’Neil’s dancing was much admired, and Larry Tooly provoked great laughter by his Dutch eccentricities.- The ballet or “Les Brigands” has also been produced. Clark and Brad ley have appeared as “The McCanns/” and Master Martin has performed his wonderful india-rubber song and dance, the whole concluding each evening with the laughable sketch by John F. Poole,-entitled “The Rehearsal,” in which' tbe principal members of the company, including the female minstrel troupe, appeared. To morrow evening Don Dorrego, the great gui tarist, will make bis first appearance here. This gentleman is, perhaps, tiie best player on that in strument living, his performances at Lina Edwin’s Theatre, during Kelly Leon’s management, having cieated a most profound sensation. Mr. J. T. Mur phy, an Irish vocalist and comedian of extended rep utation, will also appear, and Miss Fanny Archer, a pleasing and accomplished vocalist, will be added to tho company. Mr. Hart announces as in active preparation a great drama bearing on the. recent Chicago disaster, and to-morrow evening will pro duce a sensation, entitled “Upon the Border.” An other local play will soon be presented, and constant noveldes will be produced at the Theatre Comiquo. Matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. Lent’s New York Circus.—Mr. Lent having concluded his arrangements for the season, to-mor row evening will witness the re-opening of his beautiful circus. During the season, the entertain ments produced will be of tho very highest order, and will include periormances by some of the greatest artists that have yot appeared either in Earo; e or America. The sports of the ring will, as formerly, bo conducted with that taste and dispatch that is characteristic of the New York Circus, and the great skill and experience of Mr. Lent will be fully brought to bear in all the performances provided by him. To-morrow morning there will be a grand inaugural i recession by the various members of the company through tbe principal streets of the city, and should the weather provo propitious the turn-out is likely to be a very effective one. There will be matinees at the Circus every Wednesday and Saturday. St. James Theatre.—This new theatre was opened on Monday evening last, by Messrs. McDonough Earnshaw, under singularly favorable auspices. The interior of the building presents an entirely different appearance since its occupation by Messrs. Newcomb Arlington at the beginning of the Fail season, having been beautifully furnished and decoi’ated under the direction of the new man agers. Determined to provide a class pf entertain ment likely to captivate our up-town residents, a programme of a most attractive nature, was pre sented on the opening evening, and a pleasing and successful opening was the result. The house was well filled in every part, and to say that the audience appeared to be thoroughly pleased is but mild language. In the operetta everything was encored. Miss Brevoort received an exceedingly warm reception, and E D. Davies fairly took the house by storm. The“Prima Donna of a Night,” introduced Miss Susan Galton, who acted and sang in tho most charming manner, and as Ernestine was most captivatingly amusing. Her opening aria, which was Arditis “11 Bacio,” drew forth most de monstrative plaudits, and her subsequent efforts were no Jess favorably received. Mr. James Arnold, as Mons. Chanfleure, made a most decided hit, and was at once recognized as an exceedingly versatile and finished performer. As a singer he is surpass ing y good, but rarely have we witnessed a more able impersonation than his of the old gentleman, with a weakness for musical celebrities, it was ap parent from his rendering of this character that Mr. Arnold is an artist bound to be become popular, and either as an actor or vocalist we can conscientiously award him unlimited praise. Mr. Alfred Kelleher, as Babylas. sang with great taste and feeling, but nis action was just a trifle stiff and forced. J. H. Sur rldge got through the to him unsuited part of Peterman with much credit, and Miss Clarice Vernon was favorably received as Madame Balandard. Alter the operetta, Miss Kato Brevoort g ive her clever en tainment “Crystal Chimes,” and her performance on the piano and musical glasses at the same time, was much applauded and warmly redemanded. The entertainments concluded whir the ventrilo qui al performances of Mr. E. D. Davies (his first ap pearance in America), wbo created the greatest ex citement ever made by an artist ot that description in this city. From the first opening of the box con taining his two proteges, Tommy and Joey, till the curtain fell upon his rendering o. a quintette by him seif, he ke;.t the audience in one perpetual state of laughter and mirth. He has most judiciously local ized his witty sayings and anecdotes, and every sally brought forth unbounded laughter and applause. His rendering of duets, trios, quartettes, and quin tettes by himself and suppo&sd assistants, was truly wonderful; and his clever repartee and ready wit, fairly entitles him to be called “the funniest of funny men.” His success was most unequivocal, and his position as an .American favorite fairly secured. The same attractions will bo presented this week, and should draw full houses for weeks to come. Messrs. McDonough and Earnshaw are to be congratulated on having secured the services of Mr. T. W.- Davey, whose great business talents and agreeable manner render him a great favorite with all. There is plenty of room fbr a good theatre in this quarter, and we heartily trust the St. James may prove a gieat suc cess. There will be a matinee every Saturday, at two. Paris Pavilion Circus.—After a most suc cessful season in Fourteenth street, the veteran man ager, Dau Rice, has closed his establishment, and, after fully reorganizing his company, will open in Baltimore, Md., on November 9. Mr. Rice is to be congratulated on the success which his endeavors met with in New York, and the announcement of his return at some early day will be hailed with plea sure. The Lydia Thompson Troupe.—This most celebrated of burlesque organizations visited Brook lyn on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last, and despite the disagreeable weather, succeeded in doing very fair business. The Acadpmy of Music in Brooklyn is not by any means well adapted for en tertainments of this kind, and none but such a com t pany as this one would be likely to meet with such success. M;ss Thompson, In the various roles which she assumed, was as captivating and graceful as ever, L and acted, sung and danced with her accustomed force and spirit. In “Blue Beard,” as Selim, she was admired by all, illustrating the humors of that gay young dog with undoubted success. Willie Edouin as Corporal Youg-Youg and the Heathen Chi i nee also came in for a large share of applause, and Harry Beckett as tho Turkish Brigham Y oung was highly amusing. On Tuesday “Lurline” was pre l sented, Miss Thompson making a charming repre sentative of Sir Rupert, Mr. Beckett causing roars of laughter as the Seneschal. On Wednesday evening Miss Thompson took a benefit, appearing in a reccn struoied version of “Sinbad.’’ In this edition .'diss Thompson has not nearly so important a character as in the former one; and really, for our part, we should prefer the version in which she has most to do. Bouquets and floral wreaths were presented to the fair Queen of Burlesque in great profusion, and the audience seemed greatly to regret that her stay in Brooklyn had been so short. Harry Hill’s Varieties Theatre.—Thia establishment continues to deserve the name it has acquired for pleasing entertainments and genuine good natured fun. Singing, dancing and other amusements are constantly provided, and he who cannot enjoy himself here is indeed a hard case. A visit to Harry Hill’s is the most effective cure going for lowness ol spirits or indisposition of any kind. SCRAPS MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. In a late issue wo noted the intended return of the accomplished comedienne. Miss Annie Lonsaale. to the New York stage, of which she was, a few years since, so brignt an ornament, at an early date. In about three weeks’time she will make her re-entre at an up-town theatre in a new and elegant comedietta, of a protean character, and in a new and original classical burlesque extravaganza. Miss Lonsdale was one of the leading New York favorites, and we feel assured she will r ceive a cordial welcome back. She will signalize her return to the stage by a previous act of graceful courte sy, viz.: playing her original role of Nan, at the Acade my of Mutic, Brooklyn, next Saturday, for the benefit of Mr. Hooey, who cis all in the Chicago fire.

A VERY COMPLICATED CASE. A singular and somewhat complicated action has been commenced in the Superior Court, before Judge Jones, tho plaintiff suing for divorce, and the de fendant denying that marriage ever took place. This ia the singularity of the suit: Suing for divoice where there has been xiu marriage, the question arises, are they married—are they man and wife? They at one time thought so themselves, and so passed themselves off in society as such, until about ton weeks ago, wheu tho BLEAR-EYED INTRUDER JEALOUSY stepped in and jarred domestic felicity. The plain tiff to this action for divorce is a pretty dark-eyed Jewess of twenty, who signs her name Jane Halpia. She is a petite, and probably has been for the year of her wifehood a petted beauty. How she was wooed and entangled into this morgantio alliance does not appear from the record. Of the defendant little need be said. Everybody on the West side of the city knows Wiljiam Halpin, of the Sixteenth Ward. At his principal liquor store, corner of Eighteenth street and Ninth avenue, tbe best of cheer ean be had, if paid for, for man and boast. He is reputed to bo worth $500,000. William Halpin is a brother of the late Michael Halpin, who kept the bar of old Tammany Hall, where now stands the Sun building. Mr. Halpin is also somewhat of a politician. He obtained the nomination for Assembly, and ran in the Sixteenth Ward, but was defeated by tho late Aleck McLeod. He is always bidding for a nomination of some kind, and it is said he is a perfect El Dorado to the Six teenth Ward spongers, who know his weakness, and taking advintage of it, find him a first-rate fish to throw bait out to, ’as he nibbles at anything. He is generous and liberal to a fault. Mr. Halpin, aside from his political associations, is a member of the aristocratic Linwood Club, so that socially as well as politically, next to Bill Tweed, he is the best known man in the city. Tbe first move in this case was a motion by Jane Halpin, commencing an action by the service of summons and complaint, and notice of application for alimony pending the suit. Before the return to the motion A FINE PIECE OF SHARP PRACTICS! was introduced by Attorney Fine, who cut the plain tiff off, as it is called, by getting an order compelling the woman to give her deposition in star chamber before a referee. The object of this was to break her down so that the first motion might be defeated. But Jane’s counsel, Mr. Spencer, objected to a closet investigation, and obtained another, vacating the previous order, and demanding examination of the woman in open court. This motion was success ful, but when it camo up for hearing on Thursday last in open court, defendant wilted and agreed to all that was asked, alimony pending the suit, pro vided the alleged pseudo wife would consent to have the case go before a referee, so that the public should hear nothing of the proceedings. This was assented to, and the case will be heard by a referee some time this or next week. THE WOMAN’S STORY condensed, is about as follows: William Halpin, the defendant, is informed that a motion will be made on the 17th of October for an order requiring him to pay to the plaintiff in the action a suitable sum of money weekly, as alimony for her support during the pendency of the action, and also a further sum to enable her to defray the necessary counsel fees and disbursements attending the suit That is the prologue to the action. Then follows the pseudo wife’s story. She starts by claiming that she is an infant under the age of twenty-one, and that Bern hardt Solinger, by order of the court, has been ap pointed her guardian for the purpose of bringing this action. She further solemnly declares that she was duly married to Halpin, under the laws of the State of New York, in the presence of witnesses, Mr. Halpin agreeing to take her as his wife in pres ence of witnesses, in consideration that she would take him for husband. She assented and HE PLACED A RING ON HER FINGER in token of their plighted faith and union in mar riage, and in the ring he caused to be engraved, “To my wife, Mrs. Halpin. W. H.” Thereafter, per order, there was served a glorious supper, with a Scotch haggis for desert. The date of this Scotch or Morganic marriage is not recorded on. paper, though perhaps it exists in their own memories: but L we understand that it dates little further back?than a year ago. Since then, up to within ten days ago, they have lived like two turtle doves, with only once in a while an occasional spat—things incidental to J marital life. About a fortnight ago William refused longer to live with her, or support her. The dear little infant gives the following as her MARRIAGE LIFE EXPERIENCES. Three weeks Sfter her marriage to her dear Wil- liam, he commenced ill treating her, and she alleges t that the ill treatment continued up to the time that they separated. His conduct was such that it was unsafe to live with him. Four months after the 1 marriage, in a fit of jealousy, he siruok his infant wife between the daylights, causing her nearly to fall, but like a brick she kept her pins. The effect of the blow was a black eye. Two months after that he again struck her on the frontispiece, hurting it very much. At different times siuoo, the dates whereof she cannot remember, he has SLAPPED AND STRUCK HER in the face with his fist without any cause or provo cation whatever from her, causing her much pain, bodily and mentally. Even when in bed, her hus- 1 band would frequently pinch her on the legs an fl arms, leaving blue and black marks on her pers'/p. According to the allegations of the pseudo-wife, this seemed a favorite amusement of Mr. Halpin’s when the two wore enshrouded between the sheets., pre suming that these cruelties were incidentals” of married life, she never made complaint Against her sweet William for asse-jit and battery, fjh© bore it all, with the hope that by and by iuatters would mend. But they -didn't. S metimo after, the marriage the husband believed her to be in an interesting condition. It was not so ;o him, procured pills which she refused to take, He ’threw her on Vue floor and tried to force the pi)’j down her throat, but she thwarted his ter -1 riX’.e purpose. Failing ijiat ho threw hw on the floor and jumped upon her. His Jealousy, sue says, has been beyond description, and all without cause. It lias bred disputes to such a serious extent that he has frequently threatened to take her life, has been in the habit of using vile and abusive to wards her. While living together as nusband and wi e he has often accused her of being a common street walker. A sample of his alleged FREAKS OR ECCENTRICITIES. was an order forbidding her to leave the house in his absence at his various places of business, thus virtually making a jail bird of his little birdie. To ensure himself that this demand- was com. plied with, in bis At o{ jealousy, so fixed her clothing that she 6duld not appear In fhe street. In winding up her doleful tale Mrs. Halpin says that since she commenced this gtitt she is utterly destitute, while her husband is in the re- L I oelp't of $12,000 a year, and has often told her that d he ig *he owner of two large liquor stores, three tenement ttfo distfllerfes- and has numbers 'imimprouee lots* VP town, and $150,000 in cash in e side other pi>Verty which she does not re member. i Corroborating Mrs Hal P’ o story as b the mar riage; Ann Edwaru?’ of No 122 Nineteenth Bt >eet r says that Mr. an? Mrs Hal Pin boarded with Mrs. Cftssengar as man wife afc No. 237 West Twenty-^ ret street, for four during 1870. Mr. Halpii? spoke of the pla. n tiff as Annie No/ loil No. 99 Eighth ave< ue ea 3' s she has repeatedly Ha’pin sneak of the pontiff aa his wife and she has dined with them as sutS after introduction in Ju.J* a hotel, corner of Fxi s h avenue and Twenty-six'^ 2 street. By invitation of the two she took tea with tJiAm, and the part they played was man and wife. The general answer that Mr.- Halpin puts in is A GENERAL DENIAL. That the referee has to decide. The two were never married by priest, minister, nn, and take the chances of his getting away fropimfiK C ’AMP UNT ARY RESOI AjTION S.

Ho came on here after the disaster, with several of hers who had friends living in Naw York, and was here only two days when he was robbed of a bran-new overco. it. Tho thief proved to be Thomas Henry. Thomas ei plained very naively how he came to take the coat, lit) stated that he lived in the same house with Ehohorn. and had hung his coat on a peg in the room where he slept. Coming back there the coat was gone. He thereupon went into the next room, which was Ehohorn’s, and there found the coat in question, which he put on his back, and walked off, Ho was subsequently arrested, and? tho coat recovered. NOT GUILTY. A German named Henry Robertson was charged with collecting twenty dollars on behalf of the No. 9 Gdrrra i Reform Club of the 22J Ward, without authori ty. On examination it was shown that he collected tho money fcr the German Citizens Association, that he was duly authorized to do so by the President of the club, Mr. Bodge. He was discharged. THOMAS VAN DUZEN, a pale, miserable,halt-starved looking young man, got twi months in the Penitentiary for stealing a niece of meat. Clemency might have been shown in this case we think and the poor devil lot go, as bis face expressed unmis takeable signs of hunger and hard times. AN UNGRATEFUL WOMAN is Jane Eliza Osborne. Mrs. Rose Nelson, of Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street, allowed her the shelter of her roof one wet night that she came to her house, and when she was going away in the morning Jane too# with her nearly the whole of Mrs. Nelson’s wardrobe, she deserved the sentence she received—two months in the Penitentiary. Bernard Carroll, a lad about 15 years of age, was caught in the act of tapping the till in the store of Charles Hunchbeck, of Bayard street. He was sent to the school. Kate Stinson was sent to the Penitentiary for five months for robbing Annie Frinke, of 85 Bayard street, of a quantity of clothing. RUPTURED PERSQNS SUOUUDREAD THE EOEEOWING: DR. SHERMAN. Dear Sir: A friend of mine, residing in New York city, writes to me that he has been cured by your patent appliance and compound. lam troubled with rupture, and my friend advises mo to try your remedy. He advises me to try it by all means, as he feels assured that it will cure me. I have worn a truss since I have been rup tured. A truss is troublesome towear; and if I could be cured of rupture, so as as not to wear a truss, I should be willing to pay a handsome sum of money. I n fact, I should not consider money any object in compari son with health. The letter that I received from my friend in New York gives me a feeling of encourage ment that there is a cure for my case. If you have a pamphlet giving some account of your method of treat* ment of rupture, I should like to have you send it to me before buying your patent appliance and conn pound. Direct to F. Wayland Loring, 98 West Newton st. Boston, Mass., Oct. 23,1871. Of the advantages of Dr. Sherman’s system of treat- ing rupture, those interested can have abundant proof. References to those who have been cured in this city, after being tormented with trusses for many years, can bo furnished. Office, No. 697 Broadway. suicmia of a. ctwlr.
