with q repetition But the masterpiece ofthe night
was the finale grand rondo "Ah non giunge"
from Sonnambula, which was given with power
and sweetness peculiar to her finished musical
abilities.
Signors Revere, Sangiovanni and Ardti were all
excellent in the execution of their share of the
programme, and received well deserved marks Of
appreciation from the audience.
Madame Alboni's next concert will take place
on Thursday evening, when Acknowledgements

PRocEsnos.-The Order of Red Men paraded

and Mohawk tribes. who acted escort to the

Ward, to the hall of the Columbia engine house,
Capitol Hill. A handsome collation. was partaken
of by the members Of the Order in the new hal
after the march was ended
ATTEMPTED BuRaLAnY.-An attempt to break
into the dwelling. house of the Rev. Mr.. Ag, pas
tor of the German Catholic church on Fifth street,
was made on Sunday night by cutting out the
sash of the window in the first story. Fortunately
the noise made by the burglars awakened the in
mates OF. the house, and they decamped without
effectng their object. This is the third attempt to
premises
we hope that the inmates of the house will be pre-
pared, should a similar attempt hereafter be made,
to give the villains a warm reception. Several
burglaries have recently taken place in the same
neighborhood, and it behooves all house keepers
to be on their guard.
TIE IaoN HALL.-This ia really beautiful room,
one OF the curiosites of the city, and well worth
visit from all who have not yet seen it. Brilliantly
illuminated, as it is at present every evening, and
furnished in the Eastern Bazaar style, or perhaps
after the fashion of Dickens's Curiosity Shop, it
offerr attractions in. variety of pleasing forms,
such as are hardly to be found in any other public
hall in the city. But in addition to the induce
ments which the room itself holds out to the Curl
Gus, there is still stronger in the temporary
tenants of the hall. The ladies Of the "Union Be-
nevolent and Employment Society" are there
holding Fair; and the magnifcence OF the dis
play made at their admirably arranged tables, at
each of which youth, beauty, and innocent gaycty
will be found in attendance, exhibits to the eye at
entrance a sight truly dazzling and gorgeous.
These are all of minor confederation, however,
compared to the objects for which the Fair is held
The poor, the sick, the afflicted, stand in need of
the charities of their happier feow-citzens. Many,
nay oil, would be willing to contribute to their re-
lief If reminded Of the necessity. II is proverbial
that what is the business of all lie generally left I'M
attended to by all; and the ladies' have kindly and
charitaby undertaken to DO what would otherwise
be left undone. They cannot go from house to
house in quest Of aid and the Fair is designed to
serve as centre of union, where they are prepared
to receive and to entertain all who are generously
disposed towards the poor. Citizens, call upon
them Let not the wives and daughters of Wash
ington appeal to your charities in vain
