was to be there, we went and found the church
crowded with ladies and few gentlemen--en entirely
out Of proportion, for there three lovely wo-
men to every rascal man in the house. Half Of those
present knew what they were there for, while the
balance were utterly ignorant Of what was to take
place On entering the church, the beautiful young
girls stared and gazed at the young men. When they
took their seats, the young looked vacantly at
the ladies, and when the performances commenced,
they were all struck up in heap" as they say in
Massachusetts. One yeung lady who occupied.
with her sisters and brother, the pew directly in
front of us, asked, "What could Mr.. Bennett have
meant by Central Presby terrain Church, Wednesday
evening, 18th inst, ~ o'clock-Sweet Oupidr VIVA.
could he have meantl see no sweet Cupid here,"
But there were several.
The performances went with an eulOgy on John
Adams, a Latin Grafton, and Greek grafton, which
was remarkably well delivered. Theexercise Of the
Discovery Of Truth--though pretending to throw
aside prejudice-w tinged with trsly Presbyterian
hatred Of the Romish Church, and the Virgin Mary

ORisIS OF THE FisE AT THE NATIONAL THEA.
rsE.-we now feel convinced, after hunting up all
the available information to be obtained the sub
ject, that the late disastrous fire was occasioned
solely by the bad state of the gas apparatus the
ligenee Of the company, and the neficency Of their
workmen. There is not the least doubt in our minds
that the escape gas caused the fire. and this should
be warning TO all those who have gas in their build
ngs, to look TO the fittings and apparatus, IL they
wish to save their property. The fire was discov-
cred close to the gas room; the superintendent was
ABSENT an Inefficient hand in his place; he was
much burnt; the fire was seen streaming along the
gas pipe under the foot lights; and variety Of cir.
