-THK OrsRA--Last night was the first Of the re-
engagement Of the Opera Troupe. Auber's opera,
The Grown Diamonds, was the piece for the even
ing, and was, as usual, well rendered. As we
spoke Of the performance of this same piece dur
ing the former engagement, it is needless now to
say more
The "Skylark, !" with Rodes' Air and variations,
was sang by Miss Pyne with all the usual eclaf,
and a. usual was enoored.
Mr.. Harrison also sang, OWhisper what thou
Feelest, with the same success.
Tonight Rossinis opera, Cinderella, will be
brought out. The caste includes the whole COM
pany and Joe Jefferson beside All who want
seats must 20 early, and all who want good ones
should engage them beforehand. Last night the
dress circle and parquette were both full.
BY the way, In Cinderella, Miss Pyne introduces
Bishops Cavatina, "Lo, hear the gentle Lark, q
composition thought by some to be superior in
sweetness to the "Skylark"
PoLIcx D0pGs. Officer Wise arrested John
Toland on charge Of stabbing q small black boy.
He was bound over for his appearance at court.
The saine officer arrested John Clark on charge
of assault and battery, who bound over to keep
the peace.
Officer Cuttings arrested lot of darkiee for
fighting, who gave bond before Justice Holings-
head, before whom all these cases were brought,
to keep the peace
Oficer Wollard arrested VIM. Connor small
lad, on charge of breaking open market stalls. He
was taken before Justice Smith, who in considera-
ton of his extreme youth, let him off on promise
of reformation. Another argument in favor of a
House of Correction.
About dozen fair Cyprians came before Justice
Offhtt, last evening, mutually charging each other
with assault, threats, &C. The scene in the magis
trates Office was amusing in the extreme. Crim
nation and recriminaton seemed to be the order OF
the day, until one of the parties, waxing warm,
struck another in the face with her parasol. The
offender was then held to court. The rest were
disposed of by binding some over to keep the
peace, dismissing some and holding Others over
to appear for further examination.
INDUsTRY.--W Wherever we turn we find industry
Men of all classes are hard at work. That's it, work
men, keep moving, for by your hands you not only
feed and clothe yourself with plenty and comfort but
you move the world, every time your strong arm,
perhaps blackened with smoke and dust, is lifted
to strike the iron the wood you strike not alone
for yourself, but for your children, your neghbor
and for those who will do You honor when your
arm can no longer move and the instrument of
your toll lies ,still. The laborer is now the true
protection of nationality. He
Who drives the bolt, who shapes the steel,
May with heart as valiant smite
As he who sees foeman reel
In blood before his bow of might;
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life that lightens toll,
May spring from courage more sublime
Than that which makes realm spoil.
m Let labor then look up and see
His craft no path Of honor lacks;
The soldiers title yet shall be
Less honored than the woodman's axe;
Let art his own appointment prize,
Nor deem that gold or outward light
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes that breed their own delight
