TIE Aa1ERIcAE DRAMATIC FUND SociErY had q pleas
ant little p7irae dinner among its socaed principal
members, last evening, and added some hundreds to
it's fund.- where by liberal republican and as its name
would imply, American style Of management, these
hundreds might easily have been multiplied to thou
sands But little email potatoe sycophancy little
mutual admiration business kept this, originally nn-
tonal benevolent undertaking, confined and cribbed
We are sorry for it, yet glad sorry that an unde T.
taking which we 90 greatly admired froER the frat,
so warmly supported ever since its start on each and
every occasion both with pen and purse, should have
so degenersted glad, that we have prevented some
of money (Which, at every dinner heretofore, we
expended) from falling into the hands of illiberal,
narrow-mnded, and seifcon,,eited managers who are
no more fit to manage such an Association than a
cat would be to manage a society to keep mice from
starvation. Our sympathiea were with the Dranatic
Fund we were among the first and wsrmest of Its
supporters and we speak warmly, earnestly, and
'more In sorrow than in anger, when ssy that we
regret its present position.
At NIsLo's, Medame ASNA 1HrLLoN and her Opera
troupe have continued to draw full houses during

Of which have heretofore been fully noticed in our COL
umns. The next Opera in preparation Is Aubers "Le
part De Dc5" which as yetis only known in N. York,
from isolated m0rceaur but promises far as we can
judge from these to be most popular and pleasing op
era 1t wlprobably be ready for representation to-
wards the end ofthis week. The RoUssEr Sisters &C.
have errived and the coming week will witness the
revival Of some Of their favorte and popular baets
Attractions enough surely, for Niblos at pres
ent not to say word about the great things yet to
come, the results Of Mr. Eblo's recent trip to Eu-
cnc4 1t
caterers, remains as ever Excelsior.
ME. ErsFELD's fifth Quartette Soree Of ths present
season. which took plsce on Saturday last was as all
It's precursors, highly successful. The most epplsu-
ded performances were Bsethoyen's Quartette In T.
fat, and the singing By Mrs i. A. JONES and Miss
RHEEIocx

"Although it commenced early and ended very late,
Istaid all through Mad. supESsuRs's concert at the
Apollo, last Tuesday evening while, from the late

when the performances vsre half finished. The frat
Quartette satisfied thst was to be well pleased and
and 80 was with everything. Mad siedenburg has
handsome appearance, clear, ringing voice, well
cultivated It appeared fully competent to all she
dertook and was especially setis1ed with the aria
from Robert Dia5le, even accustomed &C had been

BEReNERs vioIincelo playing was superb in every

given, as that Of Tues 1ay night"
