composed Of men of tsste-there is no lack Of
funds-Niblo is the caterer-and those who are
capable Of judging say that the Committees cham
payne has always been the purest Heidsic, and
the Cognac faultless. Under all these favorable
auspices, we are disposed to the opinion that the
party at the Garden will enjoy itself hugely
and that the programme of to-day is far preferable
to that performed in the U. S. Court Room, where
the Committee enacted the part of negro-en-
slevers, and furnished the funds to carry Long
back to the lash and the chain.

THE LITTLE DRUMMER's FIRST APPEARANCE
The Concert in which the Little Drummer
makes his first appearance in public, comes off
tonight at Tripler Hall. The programme, in ad-
dition to the performances of the wonderful child
is varied and pleasant, and the occasion will be
one of much interest. The tickets have been
selling rapidly for the last few days, and there
will be a crowded audience. No one who at

markedly interesting character of the entertain

Insurance Offices will be closed after 12 o'clock
The Board of Brokers will not hold any session
and we presume most Of the stores will be closed.
GoMPERT's AwNINGs.-We have on several
occasions given willing testimony in favor ofthese
Awnings and it may be thought chat we are un'
necessarily urgent in drawing the public atten-
ton to them. But we have thoroughly tested
them, and therefore we embrace every opportu-
nifty which offers of speaking good word in their
behalf We mention them now, however, not so
much to give our own experience as to request
the attention of those interested to the certificate
published in another column, and to the long list
of names attached to it. They might be increased
to an extent that would fill half OF the paper,
but enough is as good as feast

Fire Insurance Companies will be open for the
