Bone Squash, in an opera of that name, which is,
by the way of the best ever composed. far as
the combination of scenery, music and incidents is
concerned The laughable farce of the Mummy is
to be repeated, and the sterling drama of the Rent
Day will be produced with powerful cast. We
are pleased to notice that Mr.. Deverna has. with
his accustomed llberality, made such offers as to
secure the services of Mr. Hedge, one of The most
talented young artists the country boast of. His
talents are to be employed in the production of a
series OF new pieces which are now under way, and
will be produced IN rapid succession. We believe
now that every department Of the Chatham corps Is
filled with the first order OF talent.

STEAM SHIP GREAT WESTERN, CAPT. HosKEN.-
This very successful and fortunate steamer, on her
next visit to this city, will be under the command
of another Captain Her present commander leaves
her on his return from the present voyage to take
command of the Great Britain 1t is nearly six
years since she first made her appearance in
tiers, during which time she has not met with the
slightest accident, or been detained an hour beyond
her fixed time for departure. She has transported
more people across the broad Atlantic than any other
ship afoa She has made the quickest voyages
from port to port-distance considered than any
other steam ship.
Capt. Hosken, by his gentlemanly attentions and
Bklliul management, while in command Of the
Great Western, has made many warm friends, who
will take great interest in his welfare and
cess with his new command and increased respon
slbility.
We hope our citizens will, before his departure
manifest in some substantial manner the high re
spect entertained Of him as a gentleman and sal
lor, by the New Workers in particular. Could not
public dinner be given him at the Astor.

RUssELL's PLANETARIUM.-As much ineres; is
felt in the case which has recently occupied the
attention of the Vice Chancellor in relation to Rus
sells Planetarium, Qhe injunction on which is now
dissolved) we have obtained the following report Of
the jud 5ment given by the Vice Chancellor on
Wednesday
His HONOR said that hearing the bill in this
read the impression produced upon his mind that,
assuming proved, all the allegations set forth in
sufficient grou is for the interference OF the court
were shown That the claims OF the plaintiff, Gouraud
were now under legal investigation before court OF
law, and must in due time come before jury
that while security Justify in the total amount
of 81 800, given for all claims which Gouraud might
establish and that the suciency OF this security
disputed denied. That therefore Gouraud, having
ample of redress at common law the exercise
the extraordinary interference Of this court by injunction
seemed uncaed for and that the would view with
suspicion party seeking such remedy without strong
necessity. But as the question was not before the
court its merits but the omission Of proper service
the bill the defendants his honor would dissolve
the injunction the matter of the bill. Since however
Dr. Lardner and the other defendants proved to be
subject to heavy loss by delay would require Gouraud
to find immed aely two sufeies justify ing in Sl2 900 each
in default Of which the injunction should be dissolved
Blu in the event OF such suretes being gwen. the defen
dants should still be at liberty to the courtto dis.
solve the injunction on the merits OF the case s"3~-
The required suretes not being given, the in unc.
ton is accordingly dissolved, and DR.. Lardner has
announced his first lecture in the TabeFnaele tor
this evening.
Dr La1uher mas expressed DIS WISH tnut IL sioulo
be stated that between himself and Professor Gou.
raud tsere exists controversy or misunderstood
ing. Although nominally defendant to the bill In
chancery, he is not in reality party to it, the con-
tract to which it relates having been made before
his cton with the instrument and the Doctor
being secured against all pre-exlsiug claims by the
former owners Nor does DR.. Lardner wish to refer
to Mr.. Gouraud in any other terms than those o.

COUNTY ASSEMBLY CONVENTION. The delegates
Il the Democratic party, selected to nominate thir-
een candidates for the Legislature me last evening
At Tammany Hall. The Calhoun delegates of the
Ninth and Fourteenth wards which were contested
were admitted by large msiorities in their favor and
from the complexion of the convention Is reasona-
bic 10 presume that ticket composed OF about hall
who are friendly 10 Van Buren, for the Presidency,
and the remainder who have another first choice,
will receive the nomination. There Is scarcely an
end TO the candidates who have offered their names
and who were put in nomination TO the convention
last evening, and II will therefore not be from want
of the raw material if good ticket is not selected
fter the usual preliminary business, the convention
adjourned ill Monday evening ne xt without making
any nominations.
The convention 10 nominate sheriff, county clerk
and coroner, meet again this evening to endeavor
10 arrive at some result. They have already been
IN session three times, without making any nominal
ton, and like adherence on the part of the dele
gates 10 their favorite candidates will prevent any
nomination from being made by the present body.
Had they sterling republicanism sufficient to vote
rirI roce instead of by ballot, a nomination would
soon be effected, but we cannot expect such dis
play OF fairness where all is trick, trap, and
trede. AT the last meeting there were fifteen
ballotipgs, of which Emmans received 47
votes-Attwood 4ll-and Westervelt 36l. The
Seaman vote was changed and shifted in
favor OF either of the above candidates to suit their
own peculiar notions Should the convention be I'M
able to nominate at the meeting TO night, they had
better resign their posts into the hands of the people
and let new election follow for others who can
better carry out the wishes of the democratic CON-
munity.
The American Republican, Party, as it is called,
have made the following nominations, to be sup.
ported by the friends Of those opposed to all nomi
nations for office except native born American citi
zens For Senator, Mangle NJ Quackenboss Mr..
@. was in nomination before the late democratic
convention that selected Mr.. Jones. For County
Clerk, Horace Lootborow, late Mayors Clerk
under the wing corporation For Sheriff, Charles
Henry Hall, OF the 18th ward. For Coroner, DR.. J.
Forester, of the l4lh ward. 1t is very uncertain
whether any of these candidates, except Mr.. Quack-
enboss will consent TO serve they will fear doing
injury to their political friends in nomination for
the same offices. These nominations are to be sub
mitted TO general meeting TO be held on Monday
evening next, at the public square in Christopher be-
tween Greenwich and Washington streets
