PKrsrE1ArIoS or SILVER PiTcnER-on
Monday night last splendid supper was given
a, tie City Hotel by about fifty Clerks IN the en-
,ioy or tho Mcssrs Barker Il Co on which occa-
sion a superb silver pitcher, valued at sl5O, was
r,.sented 10 J. w. Barker, Esq. who Is about
,.,;ring from the retail trade. The supper, which
was n very brilliant affair, was attended by many
Of our most prominent merchants Speeches
toasts and generous fare prolonged the entertain
ment to late hour.
Tur CLOCK ILLuMSATED.-Lsst night the
CITY Hall Clock took the City by surprise by APP
e.,no with its four faces brilliantly lighted, and
besmine like globes of fire against the dreary
BACKGROUND of the storm. This illumination we
presume, is in accordance with resolution OF the
Common Council, passed some time since, but
rever before carried into effect. The public con-
venience has long demanded it, and we trust it is
TO be no lighting up for the holidays but pune
,nal and constant dial of the night henceforth
NIRLo's.-The Ravels perform Robert Macare
and the great Paptomime of MSzulm tonight
KEP NIBLo's was closed last evening IN conse'
quence of the death of ADELE LEHMAN who died
Yesterday morning Of the injuries occasoned by
the sad catastrophe OF the other evening. We
have heard the most interesting and affecting ac'
counts of the heroism Of this young girl, both at
the moment Of the accident and during the long
subsequent suffering. She was mounting lad
der at the side scenes when her dress took fire
from the lamps She Immediately leaped down
without uttering cry, which she knew would
alarm the audience and probably occasion some
fatal confusion. The curtain was dropped at once
but there was nothing at hand to extingush the
flames but carpenters baize jacket, which he
threw OFF and wrapped around her. He- suffer
ings were inexpressible and she was removed
the morning after the accident to her lodgings,
where she received the most able surgical atten-
ton. But it was unavailing. The fame, too
enamored Of the grace that rvalled its own 1.-the
ness, had folded her in fatal embrace.
ADELE LEHMAN was we believe, about %
wears of age, and much beloved for the genial
graces of her character, by the large circle that
deplores her sudden and sad death
~ We observe that PARoDI has achieved
brilliant success in Philadelphia. Before her re-
turn to Paris, where she is engaged by Lumley at
the Italian Opera to follow Sontag-she will sing
few times at Astor.place.
