THs preaching at the National Theatre in
New York, on Sunday evenings, is said to be
well sustained The only exception to good
order observable, is the wearing Of hats and
caps by the occupants of the upper tiers of
boxes, the occasional humping with the toes of
their boots against the wood work, and some
times loud and rude conversation. The little
boys why occupy the pit behave remarkably
well.

wrH one exception, the European gaming
establishments are said to have had most pros
porous season, and have distributed enormous
dividends The Wiesbaden Bank, in spite of
the heavy contributions which it is forced to pay
to the town, has paid dividend of % per cent.
That of Hamburg was larger, notwithstanding
a loss of 100000 francs. which inaugurated the
season. This heavy loss sent the new shares
down to price lower than the dividend subse-
qnently distributed, but they were eagerly pur-
chased by the directors, whs realized fortune

An unusual scene occurred at the doors Of the
Paris Opera House on Christmas night so the
correspondents Of the Eastern papers say. The
second bal masque of the season had been an
nounccd for Saturday, December 25th, and, it
being holiday time, more than usually large
number of persons had made arrangements to
go. In the course of the day, however, the gov
eminent came to the decision that masked
ball on Christmas day was not proper thing.
The countermand was posted on the doors of
the Opera House at about three in the after
noon, but so little was the fact known in Paris
generally, that from ten to twelve in the even
ing, carriages were continually driving up to the
doors and to the Passage de ropera, and setting
down dominoes, Picrrots, and fancy masaucrs in
infinite variety. The disappointment was great,
and in many instances loud complaints were ut
tered. Few of the jewellers, however, went
home; they distributed themselves for the most
part among the less renowned ball rooms of the
metropolis as the Sale st. Cecilc, Valcn-
tino, and the Prado, and managed to have jolly
time in spite of church or state.

TnE Prensa of Havana publishes an address
which the ladies of Havana have resolved to lay
sat the royal feet of Her Majesty Isabella H. ;
in protest against the idea enunciated in the
recent Message of the President of the United
States on the subject of the purchase of the
Island of Cuba This document which the
Prensa introduces as Every expressive and elo-
quent," and as "doing honor to the fair sex of
Cuba" concludes as follows 1.-THE ladies of
Havana are as loyal, as Catholic and as Spanish
in December, 1853, as were their ancestors in
August, 1862; that they desire to die under the
glorious flag which they saluted at their birth;
and that the Island of Cuba, the first American
land discovered by Christopher Columbus, shall
remain to the last united to the Crown of Spain,
since her sons are Spanish by birth and feeling,

as he made 1t so he has had to lie in it. Forney
saw his opportunity to take hold on Douglas
They became at once Patroclus and Achilles
From that day to this Forney has been assidu-
ously Mt work to make President out of Doug
las. He has hoisted his name on all occasions
in his piper above all others. DIR. Mackenzie,
the literary man of the paper, has been dePut-
cd to draw parallels between edmund Burke,
John Bright and Stephen A. Douglas" Forney,
even as he had Buchanan, so recently he has
had Douglas to land at New York, then and
there to be received by his friends, and from
thence proceed to Washington through success
sion of manufactured costly demonstrations
As King David said to the woman, sis not the
hand of Joab in all this" so we would ask
newspaper readers whether in all the travels,
demonstrations and ovations of and to Douglas,
from the time he left Chicago for New Orleans,
until he landed at his home in Washington,
they do not perceive re-enactment of the Blu
chanan programme of 1855, Look at the thing.
Douglas Irelt sqeamish and doubtful about his
re election. To go to Washington and take
part in the Senate debates at the risk OF coming
in open conflict, not only with the Administrn-
ton, but all the greater and lesser chiefs, cap
tains and corporals of the Senate and House,
might be fatal beyond all recall. There was
way to dodge all this, and that was to go to
New Orleans, stopping occasionally BY the way.
Next to go to Havana and stay week. Next
to come around to New York. There Douglas
part of the programme ended and Forney's
commenccd-just wherd it had on behalf of
Buchanan, not quite three years ago.
Now it becomes the opposition to wake up
from their entente cordial with Forney. 1t is
plain to be seen that he will DRIFT back again
where he was in 1s56-and he only dilly.dal.
lies with the known sentiment of Pennsylvania
on the slavery question and on the tariff ques-
ton, in order that he may go down to Charles
ton with the Keystone State at the back Of
Douglas The opposition papers ofthe country
especially that of Pennsylvania-owe it as
duty to call the attention of the people to this
phase of matters. Certainly, when the people
of that State come to reflect upon the past of
Douglas career, his turbulent, reckless and un-
scrupulous course as an agitntor, his authorship
or close identity with so great share ofall our
recent troubles, his absurd embodiment and
adoption of the two conflicting doctrines of
popular sovereignty and the bred Scott decis-
ion, they will never lend themselves 10 the
designs of man, when it is apparent that he is
acting in the capacity of an adviser and con-
science keeper for such politician.

NATIONAL THEATER.-Tho lowering
sky, which just at dusk shed many sympathetic
tears upon the thirsty earth, did not prevent
good attendance at tho National. Mr.. Barry
Sullivan improves upon acquaintance, and ap-
parently his worth is not wholly known. His
"Othelio, last night, was enacted in his usually
ohaste, easy and elegant style, and gave his
audience satisfaction. His readings arc, most
of them, new, and some not good, but yet he
pleases all who hear him. Tonight he will
appear as "Don Caesar de Dazan, }" in the pop
ular drama Of that name, and We wish for him
an excellent house, for his merit, If that would
draw, would gil it to the dome. The aftcrpiece
is "Deicate Ground; or, Paris in 1793."
WOODS R.--Notwithstanding the
unpropitious state of the weather, a very fair
audience was assembled last evening at Moods,
to witness the melo-dramatic spectacle of the
"Forty Thieves" and the fairy spectacle of
aladdin" Aladdin was gotten up in the
most gorgeous style, and those who did not
attend last evening missed treat-onc Of the
very best of the season. With little more at
tention to the choruses, we should have moth
ing more to wish for in Aladdin. .....
This evening is set apart for the benefit of G.
Il. Morton, most worthy and industrious ac-
tor, on which occasion he will present to his
friends the play of the "IIeart of Mid-Lo-
thian," together with "Michael Earle, ;" and the
| "FOrty Thieves" Let him have full house:
PARoDI AS NoRNA.-Parodi sang "Norma, y
in Chicago, few nights ago, and from what
we have heard, must have oclipsed even her
own well-known dramatic ability. She looked
remarkably we'll, at least SO says one of the
papers of that city, which, after speaking Of
the weather as having been execrable, remarks
as follows
The house was brilliant one, unsurpassed
| by any of the season thus far. That the audi.
ence were we'll pleased, and even more, need
not be said. Parodi never sang better, nor wor
more applause. She has before appeared in
| Chicago upon our concert boards, in selections
from the great opera of Norma, and always to
the delight Of music-lovers; but to readily ap-
preciate her merits, the selection must be re-
stored to its place in the opera, the vocalist
| must become the primd donna, Parodis Norma
must receive the adjuncts and accessories OF
the lyric stage, and then success becomes O
triumph We opine that among the many who
have heard Parodi, but not in opera-her per.
feet acting of her part oven in selections-hei
retaining in the concert room the expression
the fervor, the gestures that upon the stage
have won her laurels and renOwn, have tolC
less to her merit than they should have done
The audience expecting to hear Parodi, bu
finding Norma, and not understanding the lat
ter, have some of them associated with Parod
peculiarities that totally disappear upon tn,
stage, or appear only as browning excellencies
Parodi, with the bewitching Madame Stra
kosch as Adalgisa and Junca as 0rovcso, con
stituted cast which gave us fine representa-
tion of this great opera.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Y yesterday after
noon, when the jailer with his turnkey went to
lock up the main Jail, man named Cheese
man, who had been sent to prison for counter
feiting, seized Mr.. McLain and attempted to
pass him and escape. While the jailer was
struggling with Cheeseman, Abe Cross, des-
perado, who has obtained a notoriety very far
from being enviable, rushed with q knife at
Mr.. Bosley, the turnkey, who, we believe, at
the commencement Of the assault upon Mr..
McLain, had started for the Office to get pis-
tol. At that moment, however, the jailer shot
at Cheeseman, the ball just grazing his face
and making slight flesh wound in the cheek.
The report of the pistol frightened the prison
ers, and by the efforts of Messrs. McLain and
Bosley the mutiny was completely quelled,
making this attempt to break Jail, what all
such attempts must be, entirely futile. &

Mechanics Institute--Reply to "Inde-
nandanf

In yesterdays Press an appeal was made
to the members to support the Independent
Ticket at the election tonight, that requires a
short reply. He asks them to "look well at
the cOntending parties, and judging by their
past actions of their relative and separate
merits" etc. Very WE'LL let us analyze:
1st. The President-"not fattened out"
only infated-eected last year on the pledge
Of Sustaining the School of Design, Scientific
and Mechanical Museum" etc.; he helped to
manage the best and largest part of the Muse
um, then with the Institute, out Of it, and has
added scarcely anything to it-nothing what
ever in the mechanical department
I'd. The Independents candidate for Vice
President refused to be candidate when nomi-
mated on the regular ticket. Will he serve
now?
Sd. The Independent Recording Secretary
sent word to the nominating committee that he
would not be candidate for re election. Die
he mean what he said, or is his nomination
bogus?
4th. Their candidate for Treasurer was nom
fused to serve. Is his present position bogus
5th. One of the Independent Directors is oi
the regular ticket-if he is good for one, he il
good for the other.
Thus one-half of the ticket is disposed of
Can the other half make good ticket Of it
"None Of them are wire-workers, none of then
self-nominated. For good ticket, this is un
questionably superior to any that has been ye
nominated" says Independent. With tn,
known management of last year and year be
fore, this is cool-unequivoca refrigerating
Two years ago "the head Of the concern" ant
his board did nominate and elect themselves
and last year they printed posters and circu
lars, which they distributed freely to secur,
the election of the present board and tn,
same thing is being done now @s5- pledginl
the Independent ticket to spend no more fund
than they can geti The same "head of the con
Germ" circular, also says: "Through the excel
lent management of the retiring board, the nev
| year commences ENTIRELY FREE FROM DEBT.
They told us so last year and year before. lie
us all believe it now, until it is shown other
wise. The regular ticket needs no bolstering-
it is, at least, as good as the other, and for OBJ
vious reasons should succeed. X. SAW.
