MYsrbnIors.-A very mysterious noise was
heard last Sunday night in the vicinity of tho
corner of Church and Union streets. The
Waterman with promptncss, supposing that
some one was cndeavoring to fire the building
occupied by Mr.. Lockwood as a whcclwright
shop. broke open the back door of the build
ing and made a vigilant search, but nothing
was seen to verify the supposition. 1t is high
ly probable that the noise was caused BY the
''downlalP' of some Boston ice, in the ice
house, just in the rear of this building.

THEATRE. -'drnH SEA OF lcE. This thrill
ling Drama, with its magnificent scenery, its
superb appointments, and its exquisitely we'll
managed mechanism, was produced last
evening, at the Varieties, to full and ad-
miring house. The enterprising managers
merit high credit for the lavishness of effort
and expense, to which they have gone in
the preparation and suitable presentation of
the pieces with which they have gratifed
the friends of the Drama in our city. They
have shown a generous confidence in our ap-
preciativo Judgment; and in taking, as tley
have done, the risk of not meeting patr,-
mage adequate to the endeavor, and in spar
ing no cost in catering to our intellectual APP
pcttcs, they deserve from us hearty and
liberal response.
The parts in the Sea Of Ice last evening
were cxcellently studied, and admirably per-
formed. Miss CAppELL's and Mr.. GILES a,
ton evinced much niceness of taste, com
plcte apprehension ofthc characters, a vivid
conception of the propricties of the several
situations, and mastery skill in execution.
They were well supported by others of the
company, so that the whole performance
went on STANDARDIZATION any of those
plumbers, absurditcss, and odd misunderstood
ings that sometimes result from an ill assort-
ed cast. Mr.. G. p. CLARK, was az fat as
Horace de Brionne, and THOMPSON, with his
humor not only of words, but pronunciation,
accent, looks manner and expression, put the
audience on the broad grin, or made them
explode in laughter, more than once in some
-ofthe gloomiest passages of the play.
The tableour which occur in the Sea of Ice,
are exceedingly striking in their effect; and
the whole romantic drama, is intensely int
resting. The characters are all strongly in
diyidual; the localities are in sections of the
globe, the Polar Sea, Mexico, and Paris, the
incidents are startling; the action rapid and
picturesque while the plot is beautifully
wrought out of all this variety, and unfolded
so gradually that the attention is kept alert
throughout. The interest you feel is I'M
Tagging until the curtain falls upon the con-
yiction and suicide of the murderer Carlos,
and the triumph of justice at the conclusion
of the last act.
The Sea of Ice will be repeated tonight
Nobody should fail to 60.

The Flight at Jackson Grove,


MOCK HEROIC POEM, by GONE OF 'EM.
z-;o -
Good folks give ear while l rehearse,
In an unadorn'd aud simple verse,
About terrible affray,
That happened here the other day
A Captain bold went out one night,
All in The calm and clear moonlight,
To exercise his raw recruits
And gain acknowledge Of wars first fruits
With fife and drum, in proud array,
So boldly then they marched away
In rank and file, all Ger the town.
In spite of M ayor Or Marshal's frown.
But ahl how litte, mortts know,
If chance may prove their friend or foe.
No one could ever yet Goresee,
The various freaks Of destiny;
Or if they could. no one that night
Foretold our army's flight.
But in humble rhymes will tell,
What our great captain there befel,
While marching on without alarm,
No thought Of friend or foe to harm,
They heard fierce and furious yell
Resoundiug clear o'or hill and dell
Such roars, no lion e'er could send,
And it made their hair stand on end;
Their knees they knockel and took to shivcrng
The captain was seized with kind of quivering
The roars increased both fast and loud,
And soon dispersed the martial crowd,
The beast came on in furious mood.
From out the deep and tang ,ed wood.
The army, wild with fierce 'aismay,
With one accord, fed all away.
The captain scorned to fight CT fee,,
Jumped fence and climbed tree,
The drummer few withfright and fear,
The ffer bold brought up tie rear.
Each one his story had to tell.
Of all that in tie flight befrH
Now judge good people far and near
What that great army had to fear:
No panther Id or lion ra9s,
Nor cen fierce orfurioGs b,ar;:
But hold your sides and preparo+c laugh---..
Why, simple Cow that had lost her CALF.
