GAIrT THEATEE-GEAsD OFEEA NIGHT.
The very disagreesble weather Of last night
prevented the attendance at the Gaiety being
50 full as on the previous evenings since the
StrakOseh Company has been here but a bet
ter entertained or more enthusiastic audience
We have rarely seen. As ne glorious bursts Of
Psrodi S,he witchihs tones 81 WiIhorst and
the aute-lke warbLngs Of Madame Strakosch
gushed forth, in all the power, and sweetness,
and fascination that music possesses, the audi
snce were eutraHced. AM exhibited the warm
est enthusiasm and the united powers Of
Amodis, Bsnli, Squires and Nicola completed
the excitement, IS was testified by the most
deafcnfng applause and repeated encores, and
calling oct the performers TO receive proofs 70
inexpressible admiration.
Tonight is the last night Of The operate
singers. We say-It with regret, for we do not
expect 70 listen to such music again for a long
time. This will be the greatest night Of the
whole engagement, and none who really love
music should lose this last and brilliant opPoT-
tuuity. Tonight we shall have opera singing
u earnest -Four acts IF he grand opera Of n
Troraforc, heprincipal act Il Lucia ii Lammcr-
ao0r, and one act Of the great opera Of DEisir
D.4m0ne VIII be performed tia artists appear
IN fuI operu o9s'ums, with appropriate chorus,
scenery. &c. TINS viii BE- a treat IN music
rarely enjoyed, and a crow ded house is certain.
THE CRY FrxAScEs-TAx CoLIEoroR-In
accordance with a recommendation of the
Mayor, the City Council, sometime ago, re-
solved 10 haFs the state Of the accounts Of The
various city officers investigated. The exam
nation was committed % the care Of Mr.. II.
Jackson, assisted By Mr.. A. B. Holt. These
gentlemen have carefully and laboriously gone
through the accounts Of Mr.. John Newsom, the
City Tax Collector for The last three and a
half YearE Daring that time, money belong
ing TO the city amounting 70 S5l0,567 Al,
has been paid by Mr.. Newsom into the
City Treasury. The result d the examine

amounting 10 s562 g, and that amount is, of
course, In favor Of honest John Newsom

not have been called upon 10 pay over the
amount Il is probable be would, but John

We understand that the examinsdon gives great
satisfaction, and Mr.. jackson and his assis-

expert and busiuess-lIe tnsnner 10 which the
investgaton has been conducted The books
