ed rounds ofapplause. Madame Bostwick's vo-
cal capabilities and characteristics fully sustain
the suogies shs has drawn from the most COM
petent critics in other places, and her appear.

attractions OF her voice-for in recognizing the
artistic, we are suffered toforget the lady Her
songs and ballads. last evening, especially were ex-
ecuted In astyle that showed the finished grace of
nrt cultivated and developed into the sim
plclty and purity of nature; and in observing
the intense delight and qualification with which
they were received we could not help wishing
That the programme had contained more such
not that the execution of her "Cavatinas" was
inferior. but that all love the airs and melodies
that appeal not only to the musical taste and the
approving Judgment, but the associations and af-
fections Of the heart.''

"A DIsAGREEABLE NEiGHBoR.-A short time
slnce' white man named Philip Roberts, quietly
took possession of tenement on Marshall street,
West of Brook Avenue. without permission. as
is alleged, of the owner thereof Notwithstanding
the quiet mode in which he obtained possession
OF the house, he failed to hold peaceabte possess
slono 1t; for only short time after his family
became domicliated, he undertook to fog his
wife, to the infinite scandal and annoyance of the
gentee neighborhood in which he had so uncero.
moniously cast his lot Had he ceased here,
however, the neighbors might have been disposed
to overlook the matter but it seems he took fro
quent occasion to administer conjugal fagelIa-

Freeman, worthless free fellow, arrested few
days since upon the charge of vagrancy, was
again arragned before the Mayor Saturday upon
the charge of making an indecent and outrageous
exposure OF his person 10 the West end of the
city on three several occasions during the past
week. Witnesses were present who fully idensi-
fed the fellow; whereupon the Mayor demanded
security in the sum of $500 for good ehaviour for
the space OF twelve months, and in default of which
he was committed to Jail. His Honour likewise
directed the officers of police to give the fellow
thirty-nine stripes befare committing him; to
repeat the dose at the expiration of sixty days,
and to give him like number of stripes on his
release from prison. This may be regarded as
harsh and severe sentence; but were we at liber-
ty folly to describe the shameless nature of the
wretch's offences, every right thinking man in
the community would be ready to declare that
the Mayor had dealt with him most lenientIy.
