Prof. Browns Entertainment.

The entertainment given by Prof. BROWN at
Armory Hall on Thursday evening, was highly re-
lshed by those who so fortunate as to attend.
The audience was much smaller than the talent cx-
hibited deserved, and smaller than it probably will
bo at the repetition which Prof. b. has consented
to give on some evening of next week, of which
due notice will be given.
The Professors execution of the various pieces
gave his hearers an excellent idea of what good
elocution is. We were most pleased with his per
sonaton of Sir PETER TEAZLE. Miss BRIDGES
performed the part of LADY TEAZLE with cor
rect conception and most accomplished reading.
Her recitation Of LoNGFELLow's beautiful poem
of "HIAwATHA " was very spirited and elegant,
and was received with special favor.

the same locality, and doubtless there are many of
these precious articles there only awaiting the ad-
vent of lucky individuals to discover their beauties

ST. LOUIS, July 18.
Gov. Walkers proclamation to the people Of
Lawrence is received here. Its issue grew out Of
the fact that committee, acting in behalf of the
citizen of Lawrence, had framed for submission to
the popular vote, city charter differing essential
ly from hatgranted by the Territorial Legislature,
thoreby bidding defiance to the Territorial govern
ment This action of the committee Gov. Walker
pronounced to be reasonable, and he has ordered
body of troops to the vicinity of Lawrence to pre-
vent further proce. dings in the premises, and to
enforce the law. The statement that tits Walkers
design through this movement, to keep in Kansas
the troops designed for Utah, as pretext for the

sacted. There are various rumors concerning the
election of successor to Mr.. Draper, but the gos-

White street headquarters and for the first time
met with the Metropolitan Police Commissioners.
Mr.. Cholwell having become dissatisfied with his

are both Democrats, and the Commissioners are
now divided as follows Wood, Powell and Ch0l-

these circumstances it is expected that there will
be much difficulty in agreeing upon the appoint
ment of a Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Mr.. Draper. The meeting
of the Commissioners was secret, but there was
much excitement at the headquarters and at the
City Hail. in consequence of this sudden change Of
affairs. There are various surnises to what will
