M. Etl;for-something dreadful is going to hap
pen. The meteor that burst over cur heads at 10
o'clock on Friday night boded prodigious mischief
to somebody or something, and consequently our
clergy on Sunday last alluded to it in their pray
ers depreeating the divine displeasure itindeated
especially as far as it concerned themselves ana
their supporters. The meteoric portent is sup
posed by some to have reference to the massacre
of Christians by the Druses in Syria and the conse
quent fall of the Turkish Empire; by others, to
warn us of impending dangers from Aboitionists,
Disunionists, Mormons, and the fast approaching
and desperate political struggle in these States. As
the phenomenon appeared in different colors and
forms to different spectators. so do It's slgnilca-
tions vary in various minds, but there are lew SO
skeptica as not to divine that it means some thing
To the scientific and the superstitious 1t has been
the cause of no ordinary excitement, and 1t were
hard to tell which of the two have speculated the
most wildly about it.
Perhaps the meteor was after all 'slet off, to
celebrate the arrival in this metropolis OF the Sa-
yannah Republican Blues, who on Friday after
noon escorted by our City Guard marched up
Broadway to the Lafarge House, greeted with
hearty applause by the populace, that seemed much
taken with their handsome and martial appear
ance. A couple of negro drummers proved, now
ever, a great eyesore to some OF our TaDld apo
litioniss, and one Of them the servant OF captain
Anderson was waylaid and tempted TO desert his
master The slave told his tormentors that ne
knew all they could tell him, and more-that he
was better of than they, and bade them mind ther
own business. Finding, however, that they evinced
disposition to violently abduct him, he made the
best of his way back to the Lafarge and has acted
with great caution ever since. The Blues have,
however, been Hospitality received and handsomely
feted during their stay in New York. and their
visit has been productive of much good feeling.

The Zouave excitement reached its climax on
Thursday night at the Academy Of Music. The
Chicago Cadets on that occasion, to use some
| what hackneyed phrase, covered themselves
with glory,' brought down the house repeat
edly and realized by their exhibition the sum of
$780, after paying all expenses bloodiess con-
quest and therefore better than prize money. They
are now busy converting the Yankees to Iouave
principles but will return to US in day or two to
give us few finishing touches, for several of our
military companies are in transtory state, ready
| and eager to be born again or transformed into
Tureos or Occidental Zouaves.
The Great Eastern, as her departure approaches,
ID more and more visited by wondering multitudes.
| Her visitors in one. day have numbered as high
| as twenty thousand. Had her directors been
| less stupid and q Cockney,' as many would have
paid fifty cents daily to her from the first, and
/ they cannot count how much they have lost by
| their ignorance of the American character, too i'm
4 patient to submit to dilatory old fogyism. The
/ excursion to Cape May, which they have ar
ranged, is planned with the same English clums
ness and certainty of giving general dissatis
faction. The Great Eastern will start on this trip
/ ON Monday afternoon and return on Tuesday eve
ming. The tickets for the " round trip" are put at
$40, but the state-rooms are charged extra meals
and refreshments extra, waters, etc eXtra, and d
will be another extra; SO that it will, unless the
directors modify these arrangements, be eXtraor-
dinary if they don't create more discord and un-
pleasantness than harmony and enjoyment Tor their
American passengers.
Theatrical and musical entertainments have come
under the influence of the weather, which has been
| somewhat oppressive of late. The production OF
| novelties at such season were equivalent to
| needless sacrifice. Some staunch old tavorites
have been revived with success. Jefferson made
| happy hit on Friday night at his benefit, in the
part of g Paul Pry.'' We have seen several of our
| hest comedians, English and American, in this
| character, but fer natural quaintness and dry
/ humor, Jefferson surpassed them all tIZ James

i its best; for, on that occasion. Mrs. Wood, Mr..
Jefferson and one or two other performers of ready
wit, extemporzed and interpolated so freely as to
make the burlesque appear quite brilliant; Rather
an amusing anecdote is told relation to this piece,
suggested to me by what has just slipped from my
/ pen. A eouplet was wanted in certain scene to
render it complete. The author sat down in the
Green-room to hammer it out, while the rehearsal
went on. Mrs. Wood and Mr.: Jefferson, in the
A meantime, extemporized half a dozen suitable
coupets, and, having written them out, carried
! them to Mr.. 0'Brien, whose Pegasus had not yet
o'erleaped the five first feet which caused the in

Jefferson has revived the American Cousin at
Laura Keenes, with a close approximation to the

having dismissed his old company and engaged
another vastly inferior, of Bowery origin, has
brought out I" Aladdin with costumes and ap-
pointments that too closely resemble those that

ancient home at Nblo's, are performing their

Great surprise was felt here that the Coroner 8
| Jury brought in verdict to the effect that John
Walton died by the hands of Charles Jeftards, be-
cause the evidence against the accused was merely
presumptiye. Theimpositon OF 81 O09 bail in the
case OF young Hoffman, the alleged defaulting
secretary of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
also startled of us, not used to that sort of
severity. Surely we thought justice is running
from one extreme to the other. But Hotfmans
bail has been reduced to lG,N00 and Charles JEFF
fards stands little risk of final conviction. Not
satisfied with flooding our own circulation with
counterfeit money, our forgers are supplying the

which the Haytiens for long time were unable to
