MADAME OTTo'S BRNEFIT.-The beneht OF this
delightful cantatrice will take place tonight at the
Park Theatre, when the opera of "La Sonnam-
bula" will be performed with Mr.. Jones the
principal tenor.
One OF the first fruits OF the new opera Of Mr..
Jones has been to reveal, more generally than was
before known, the superior power of Madame
Otto as singer and actress, and in the
opera of Sonnambua," an additional at
traction Is given. On this account alone
the benefit ought to bring forth all her friends
and admirers, and make it bumper. But there
are other considerations Of a more general charac-
ter, which will operate in her favor For many
years Madame Otto has been in the habit OF ex-
tending the aid of her services to every
charitable and benevolent institution, in the most
generous and liberal manner. The frequency OF
this lady's generous and gratuitous efforts in the
sacred cause of charity must be well known to the
people of this city, and we confident that the
recollection of her lberaity will render her bene fit
what it ought to be, a grateful acknowledgment of
professional and private worth. Madame Otto has
resided many years in this city, and has always
been distinguished by amiability and responsibility
in private life. Let it be bumper.
Mr. WEBSTER IN TowN.-This gentleman made
his appearance in Wall street, yesterday, and ac-
cordiug to the statement of Mr. Inman, the success
sor of Col. Stone in the Commercial Advertiser, he
was mobbed by the brokers in the vicinity, all
anxious to hear his opinions Of things in Pennsyl
vania, whence he had just returned. There was
never such sensation created Whereabouts since
the time when Mr. Biddle made his appearance in
the same locality.
The IRISH REPEAL MEETING LAST NIeHr-This
meeting, in point of numbers, enthusiasm, and the
amount of cash subscribed, far exceeded any Of the
Irish repeal meetings for long time past. The
speeches were quite in the usual strain and pre-
sented no features Of novelty or interest. 1t will
probably be followed up, and doubtless the revived
movement will exercise no uncomfortable infiu
ence en- the result of the election in this city and
throughout the State. The Catholics will come
out universally with unusual force at this election.
EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITEs.-MR. GLIDDoN IN THE
CoURT OF SEssroNs.-A very interesting report OF
trial in the Sessions will be found in this days
paper, in which Mr.. Glddon, the celebrated lee
turer on Egyptian antiquities, was the principal
witness. His discourse on fisticuffs IN Broadway.
with the Recorder and Jury for an audience, is far
more amusing than any of his lectures on the
Pharaohs of the Nile.
PANORAMA AT NIBI.o's.-The panoramic view Of
the city of Madras, now exhibiting at Nibo's, is
the most magnificent thing of the kind ever seen
in this or any other country. 1t is most astonish
ing production of one of the greatest artists in
Europe-W Daniel, RIA. Just 60 and see it,
ITALIAN OpERA.-The beautiful opera II Pirata
was performed again last night, to most brilliant
and crowded house. There will be no ballet TO-
night, as preparations are making FOR the com
mencement Of the new season, with the new rimc
donna, Signora Pico, from Italy, very beautiful
woman, and an artist of great talent. The ballet,
the best of the kind produced ia this country, may
be revived hereafter.
GARREAU's CoNcERT.-Don't forget that Mr.. Gar
reau, great artist on the violoncello, gives his
concert tonight. See advertisement
The BOARD OF EDUCATION met last evening, but
