ADJUSTMENTS.

The unusual number of performances in this city
last evening which demand critical notice this morning
must be an excuse for alletng to each very limited
space;
NIBLos.-There was extraordinarily large aud
fence at this fvorite house last night to see the new
dansesse Mile. ROlla, and the old favorites OF the
Broadvay and otbor tho.to.s in comedy. The frs
piece was Sketches in India" done by Messrs Blake,
G.. Jordan, T. Placide Mary Cannon, Mrs. Blake and
Miss f.. Taylor. 1t was captally done, and elected
hearty appreciation. But the event Of the evening
was the new dancer. Her reception was most enthu.
sastic and all through the ballet not only the heroine
but the accessories were applau6od, with berality
entirely regardless of time, place or merit. Mle'
Rola is of highly prepossessing appearance aud
dances with an abandon amounting almost to Juror
Her poses were irresistible, and brought the house
down repeatedly. With mobility of features and
vvacity of expression she unites grace and bodness
of action of the fiery Scottish kind. Among the abun-
dant floral welcomes showered upon her there came
also fine diamond ring, and one young man, whose
brains were quite turned by the witchery of her con-
volutions crowned the climax of appreciation by cast
ing his hat at her feet She was called on: at the fall
of the curtain, and again peted with roses and
deafened with applause. The ballet was Paquita."
TnF NEW OLYMPIC This establishment was last
night crowded to its utmost capacity with an audience
most glad welcome the first of series of perform
ances which are intended TO rival the remembered
fame of the "Old Olympic" The pieces were all
creditably DONE and Of them far above the
average. We reserve more extended notice or
future time mean while wishing the enterprise all
success and prosperity.
LAURA KEENEs THEATER.-A comedy Of Plsnche's,
new in this country was last night for the first time
produced in America The plot will require future
analzation, and for the present must content our
selves with the assertion that the latter part of the act
gives occasion for some admirable buresque acting Of
which the most is made by Messrs. Burnett, Wheat
leigh, Johnston Smith and Misses Jefferson and Man
ACADEMY OF MusIc.--The new season of the Opera
was irauguIated last evening. Puritan was the
Opera; Madame La Grange, Brgnoli, COllett and
Amodio sustained the prncipl parts More we can
not say, on account of the lateness of the hour.
PRKsFyTA1IoS.-Mr Thomas Baker, the popular
leader of the orchestra of Laura Keenes Theater,
was last night presented with testimonial as une1-
peced as it gratifying. The members of the or
chestra combined in the presentation Of al elegant
J0ton, accompanied with kindly worded and appre-
ciatiye letter. The 5atou is Of ebony beautifully in'
laid with gold and silver, and bearing al inscription
most complimentary to Mr.. Baker.

day met its due reward, although somewhat after the
way of Judge Lynch The facts are as follows: A

ing his child, lae girl only two years old in most
inhuman rnanrer. Her cries having attracted the at
teption Of rAssersby, admittsnce gained, when
she was Sund Gagged up in a small shoe-box tied up
by the eet to the top, almost starved having been
kept here ioryeight hours almost naked and covered
with bruse and caloues and her father there in the
set Of beating her to still her cries The alarm soon
spread crowd rapidly gathered, when his house was
demolished and himself treated to a coat Of tar and
feathers the spot Not man was found TO defend
the cupri but many wished it had been night that
fuller satisfaction could have been had from one so
richly deserving condign punishment, and many NUT
terngs were heard to the effect that if he found in
town after dark be would ex qerience the additional
pleasure of ride on that classic implements rail.
The box is left unframed where it was found together
with The string used to tie up the girls feet and many
go 10 them and to pronounce the punishment only
too lenient for such unbeard Of barbarity.
