ton and Chippendae, in the farce Of Uncle Sam ac-
Quilted themselves with great credit, and the display
offreworks was altogether superior to those shown
on any former occasion. All seemed well pleased
Nibo is surely on the high road to fortune
PALMo's OPERA IlousE.-Tms place OF amuse-
ment was well attended by very respectable au-
dlence. The grand burlesque opera OF "Buy-l-
dare went off with great ecldt and many OF the
pieces encored. The solo on the accordion,
by Mr. Huntley, was greatly and Justly applauded,
and the audience scarcely satisfied with one
encore. 'sThe Virglnian Glrl' excited much laugh,
ter, particularly the solo on the combadoor, Indeed
the whole performance was most excenent ana
well worthy Of the patronage It received ms Is tIe
last night OF their performance, and those who have
never seenthls talented troupe, had better take me
opportunity. We can assure them they will be
amlpy gratiiied and amused.
The BowERY-AsToNIsHING FEAT.-Jhe most as
tonishing feat of the day was performed by Mr..
Hood, of the Bowery. At about seven O'Clock IN
the evenlng,a vast crowd were collected In the bow
cry, to witness this extraordinary feat, namely,
walking across the entire width OF the Bowery, op-
poste the theatre, on tight rope. The rope was
extended from the highest roof Of the houses at
either side, measuring about ninety feet across, and
the elevation from the street calculated at about
fifty-two feet Mr.. Hood, at the appointed hour,
with perfect sang frOd, commenced his work, and
proceeded across, the crowds OF spectators below
in the street looking up with evident anxiety, IN al.
most breathless suspense. To the astonishment OF
all, Mr. Hood performed the feat with perfect ease,
and arriving at his place of destination, after the
performance, hailed with loud, long and reter-
ated applause. The theatre was filled almost to sui
location during the evening. The bill of fare was
excellent.
The CHATHAM was crowded to excess long before
seven o'clock, and several unable to procure places,
were comIeled to go to some other place OF amuse-
ment
ACCIDENTS There were but few accidents during
the day, as far as we could ascertain, and no fires
whatever occurred to mar the festlvity OF the day.
We heard OF but two casualties, one IN Ann street
and the other in Chatham street; The first was a
boy, whose hand shattered by the premature
explosion of the gun and the second, man whose
also shattered by the bursting OF pistol.
A young woman run over by an omnibus IN
Park row, but no bones broken; the extent of her
injuries, if any, were not able to ascertain.
There were but few casualties beyond what we
have already given. A young child was run over in
the Bewery by carriage, about dusk, and seriously
injured. AT the Hospital they had but few cases
OF burns, and none OF them serious.

The attendance was respectable, and the track in
pretty good order, considering the heavy rain OF the
previous day here and there il little sticky,
but not so much so as to spoil sport.
The AVENUES AND HARLEM-The numbers who
rcsorted to Yorkvlle, Harlem, and the beautiful
spots along the avenues, were not SO numerous as
are frequently met with Sundays. Not but al
the same time there was goodly muster, and the
omnlbusses and railway cars were well filled, each
trip, throughout the day. but they were mostly
strangers in those parts or families endeayorng
escape from the eternal buzz and crack, crack that
prevailed in the city. There might be seen the
family man with his wife, and some five or SIX
children, beautifully tailed of, unless when brought
up to dead stand al apple stall or a candy shop.
There were great number OF visitors at the reser-
voir during the day, where every attention paid
TO them in showing and explaining the works, nc.
AT Yorkvile and Prospect Hall, Hurgate, &c. small
family parties might be frequently met with,
some pic nickng, and others taking whatever the
different houses afforded. The great point OF
attraction at Harlem was Gelger's pleasure gardens.
Here the youngsters revelled in delight, being
free to help themselves to the fruit with which
the trees were loaded and bountfufy they
helped themselves, no doubt at the cost OF many
a stomach ache to-day. In this neighborhood
there was held a Ladies' Fair, on behalf of
the Presbyterian Church, which afforded the resi-
dents someItte amusement,the church trle OF pro-
fit, and the ladies opportunity OF displaying them
selves and their wares to the best advantage There
were also some good trotting matches over the Har
lem course, which attracted the attention and pre-
sence of the sporting gents of the nighborhood ard
New York and before and afterwards some trials
of speed, upset and breakage along the road. The
great attraction of the day I'M this neighborhood, was
a most beautiful new omnibus, drawn by SIX grey
horses, with noddlng plumes, engaged by the Pha-
dephia Washington Association, who were ON
visit to this city TO spend the Anniversary OF the Ma
tons Independence. The principal point of atrac-
traction on the Bloomlngdale road was the Abbey,
in whose sylvan shades many families took refuge
from the din and turmoil of the city. Nor was Cor
poral Thompson forgotten amid the many at
fractions provided, by his military friends in par
tlcuar so that his house was pretty well jammed
throughout the day. During the whole OF this route
we did not observe single accident of any moment,
