CONCERT IN TRIPLER HALL.-The Concert for
The Benefit of the Italian Refugees, at TriPler
Hail. on Tuesday night, was but poorly attended.
II does seem as If many Of our good people would
prefer to throw their dollars away rather than
help the Republican martyrs of other lands by re-
ceiving their moneys worth of choice music. The
performances on this occasion were varied and
excellent. There were Strakosch's wonderful
fingers on the piano and Hausers on the violin,
Parods rich voice. Lorini's silver tone and PATHS
with dash of tingling cymbals" init-as much,
in fact, as any one ought to enjoy in single eve-
ming. The band of the United States frigate Con-
stitution. Notwithstanding its inspiring perform
ance was a little too vigorous for the Hall. We
should like to hear it on a moonlight Summer eve
ming, with quarter of mile of smooth sea inter
yening Again we say, it reflects no credit on
our people that the Concert was not better
attended.
ARREST OF CLERK FOR EMBEzZLEMENT.-
James Peck, barkeeper to Clark Brown, OF
Maiden.lane, was arrested by Captain Leonard OF
the Second Ward on Wednesday, charged with
having during the last eight months embezzled
money to large amount from bis employers. His
extravagant manner of living first led his employ
ers to suspect him Of dishonesty. On his arrest he
at first denied ever having taken dollar of their
money, but subsequently admitted stealing at diff
ferent times about 5000 He was held by Justice
Osborne for examination.
SUDDEN DEATH.-A German emigrant, named
Philopena Hauser, arrived on Tuesday morn
Ing in the ship Gallia, from Havre On the after
noon of the same day. while walking in Liberty
Of. she suddenly fell upon the pavement she was
carried into IS, where she soon after died. She
LEAVES husband and four children. The Coroner
will bold an inquest this morning.
