GLApIAroRIAL.-Therew was a pretty hard fight in
front Of Benter's, corner of the Avenue and Sixth
street, Monday night at eleven O'Clock. The
hardest knock and the hardest oahs we have heard

but we feel some melancholy confidence in the be-
lief that, if living, they will yet know that their
boys in guilt, in infamy, and, it may be- in

MADAME MARaUERITTEs' second concert,
given by special desire, will take place at Carusi's
tonight at eight O'Clock. Mr.. j. ]. EssLER,
from Vienna, will again lend his valuable aid. We

fashion this occasion. The laudable desire of
Madame de M. to retrieve by her brilliant talents

its the appreciation of all kindred spirits, and
mends her to the best wishes of our people; but it
is to her talents and accomplishments would

to yield her the encouraging influence of their
presence.

The GERMAN BENEvoLEST SOCIETY, to the mum
Der of probably one hundred and fifty, accompa-
MED by band of music, yesterday attended to the
Congress Cemetery the remains of their brother,
Mr.. John Bohlayer, SEN. from his late residence
near the Navy Yard. The funeral expenses of each
member are betrayed by the Society, and the con-
tribution of dollar makes an aggregate of
nearly two hundred, for the benefit of the widow.
