NATIONAL THRArRE-THE ENeLIsH OPERA.
Our readers, we are sure, will share with us
the regret that this accomplished troupe,
owing to engagements northward, can remain
with us no longer than tonight. "Cinder-
ella" went of last night charmingly. To-
night, and on their farewell appearance, the
company in its entire strength will present
Mallaces sparkling opera of Mariana. /"
We doubt not that our music lowing citizens
will give the troupe bumper at parting.
The SLoP TUBs.-We have been asked by
several persons in the Second Ward what is to
be done by house-keepers when the " slop
man" fails to come to their houses for two or
three days after the appointed time. This is
rather hard question to answer If they
throw any filthy water or filth of any descrip-
ton into the streets or alleys they are liable
to fine. If, by any other means, the filth
is disposed of, and nuisance is created, it is
q penal offence. We presume his honor, the
Mayor, or the health commissioner, might
suggest plan, if the subject were mentioned
to either Of them.
A PAINTING.-An admirable portrait of q
well known fellow-citizen may now be seen at
the Jewelry store Of Gait q Bro, where it will
remain during the week. Accurate as a like.
ness, and most effective as painting, this last
work of the distinguished artist, J. NJ. Stanly,
Esq merits the public attention. His rooms,
on the avenue, nearly opposite our Office are
always open to ladies and gentlemen, where
many gem will richly repay visit

timothy Sullivan, assault, dismissed; James

A HAr.-Stevens. on Browns Hotel square :,

felt and silk, through the crowns of which one
can readily see, though they are water proof

New York
CANvAssKRs WANTED We would call at
tention to the advertisement in another col
umn for canvassers for the National Specta-
tor" The Spectator is an excellent literary
paper, and we doubt not good business can be
done by an energetic man in canvassing for it.
