PiKEs 0PERA-HoUsE.-The second per-
formance Of The Doom Of Derine drew quite large
audience TO tho Opera house last night, for the BEN
eft Of Joey Cougenhcim. As the play is as dull,
stupid, and unintercsting as any performed in
this city, we concluded that the attendance was a
compliment to the beRefciare, and think she should
regard II as such. From the rise ofthc curtain upop
the first scene until II falls upon the death OF
"Lionnc Dolaforet," the drama has not n single
rcdceming feature; but from the beginning to tho
end is execrable In the extreme, and In the fullest
sense Of the term, an egrcsious bore. ...
In the manner In which II Is performed, little can
be said. There Is not single character which pos
scsses for us tho slightest interest situation
that Is not farccal IL would not be at all compile
mcntary to say that any artist performed tho part
well for which he or she had been cast and yet we
will venture the assertion that any interest felt In
the evenings entertainment arose from a direct
sympathy with the actors instead Of the characters
they portrayed. H..
Joey Gougonhcini, Addie Proctor, Viola Crocker
| Sheridan and some others, considerable ap-
plause but this from their inherent and we'll
known merit, which the author seems TO have made
an effort to hide beneath his platitudes and stupd-
tics. The Doom Of Deriie will be performed this
evening. for the last time, and congratulate the
habiiues Of the 0pcra-house upon the fact
On Monday evening the magnificent spectacle Of
The Prodioa Son will be produced in manner never
before excelled in the country. An immense ballet
company has beon engaged, under the direction Of
Mons Bouxary, and the music Of all OF the ohoruses
marches, hymns and dances Is taken entire from Hal
evy's opera of LEafant Prologue. Mr.. Pike has
himself been prodla in regard to cost, but, doubt
not, will find 1t an excellent investments for in tho
hands of his artists it not fail to be a complete
success.

ANOTHER AURORA BoREALIs THEosY.-De la
Rive thus defines his theory of auforas; "rhe
vapors constantly rising from the sea, and
especially from the equatorial regions, carry
great quantity OF the positive electricity, to
which they serve as the vehich, leaving the
surface of the globe negatively electric
Borne to the poles by the currents which al
ways prevail in the higher regions Of the at
mosphere, these vapors carry, with them their
electricity, and thus give tothe whole atmos-
phere positive electric coadition, which di-
Ininishes from above downward. This posi-
tive electricity tends INCREASINGLY to combine
with the negative electricity of the earth,
directly through the stratum of air, but more
especially at the two poles, where the cur
rents of vapor carried by winds converge and
are condensed" According to Mr.. De la
Rive the aurora of tn, 10th August was a
natural consequence of the great drouth
which had prevailed over the continent.

ATTEMPTBD SuIcIDE--AN HABIrUE OF THE
Cry PRIsoS SWALLOWS PolsoN.--A young
woman named Margaret Mcclure, whose mis-
fortune, rather than her innate tendency TO
vice, have often made her an inmate OF the
City Prison, attempted TO destroy herself,
yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, by
taking heavy dose oflaudanum. For afew
months past she has been an inmate Of the
new Female City Prison, but few days ago
was discharged from that institution under
the promise Of seeking for and obtaining em-
ployment.
How hard such task Is, may be readily
imagined. Society, as whole, has little
sympathy with the woman who has fallen
from what II conceiyes to be the pinnacle of
virtue, no matter what the circumstances or
the temptations, and against her the cave OF
forgiveness is forever closed by rock no
angel can remove. q
The girl had determined to abandon her
former habits and associates but the resolu-
tion was weak, compared 10 the iron hand
which, in the language Of Camille Gauthier,
twas ever ready TO dash her bark and bind
her to the shore of infamy." The soul whose
only companion is despair, has no incentive
to good, and it falls directly into the abyssmal
depth of carelessness. A reaction takes
place, and wherein it was bad before, IL now
becomes worse. Thus, this unfortunate gir
again fell, and, nigh before last was com
mitted to the station-house, in a state Of un'
conscious intoxication.
When taken before the Police Court yester
day morning she told one of the officers tha
if sentenced to the City Prison she would
destroy herself and it is not yet quite GER
tain that she has not succeeded in executing
her threat. When the officer entered he
cell TO convey her to prison, she was in
deep Sleep from which he could not arous'
her. DR.. Webb was Immediately called, anC
discovered from the symptoms that she wa
suffering from the effects of an overdose o
laudanum. By the application of the prope
remedies she was awakened from the torpo
into which she had fallen, and, yesterda,
evening, although still in critical condition
was in fair way for ultimate recovery.
We recommend this woman to the Mana
gers of the Home Of the Friendless. Unde
their care, and from their womanly sympa
thies deriving the strength she so much need:
we feel assured she might yet be reclaimed
and brought back to the path from which sh
has strayed. The fact that angels are invisi
BILE is no evidence that they are scarce, an,
we know of at least two score, any of WHOM
might save this woman from the degradation
into which she has fallen if the right mean
were employed.

TRUE CHRISTIANITY The defens armor
of shrinking or timid policy does not suit
her. Hers is the naked majesty of truth; and
with all the grandeur of age, but with none
of its infrmities has she come down to us,
and gathered strength from the many battles
many generations. With such religion as
this there is nothing to hide. All should be
above boapi; and the broadest light of day
should be made fully and freely to circulate
throughout all her secresies. But secrets she
has none. To her belong the frankness and
simplicity of conscious greatness; and wheth-
er she grapple it with pride or philosophy,
or stand in front opposition to the preju[
dices Of the multitude, she does IL upon her
own strength, and spurns all the props and
all the auxiliaries Of superstition away from
her,-Dr. Chalmers.

SANG FRoID OF JOHN VAN BUREN.--A good
story was told us Hartford Press) the other

his opponents client in an action was not

his purpose to give John piece of his mind
when he saw him-he would Wither him.
Happening to see John one day at Downing s,
standing at the bar, getting outside OF a
dozen New York bays, he boldly confronted
the Prince, and being a small man, looked
up at him fiercely, and burst out-'Mr. Van
Buren,, is there any client so low and mean,
or any case so nasty that you won't under
take TO defend him in it?"' 81 don't know,
said john stopping to put away another
drawing out his reply in the little mans ear,
