INAL COLLOQUY.
MUSIC.

DENE y c TICN
Nearly all Of the pieces presented posses
sed uncommon merit, and all We're received |
with attention and appreciation by the
public. As in the anniversary Of last |
week, the chief interest centered round the
Colloouy, which in design and execution
certainly merited the the enthusiasm with
which it was received. Ten important
tcountries were represented by as lnlnriiple-
turesquely attired young ladie5-ea'h Of
whom in turn vindicated the claims Of her
nation to the first place Reconsideration. The
| representative of America appeared in
deep mourning, and spoke last, in terms OF
beftting humility, of the present condition
other beloved land.
To the Prophecies, who appeared sudden
ly on an elevated stand above the group,
was deferred the decision of the question Of
superiority. She delivered, with the ac
commitment of soft mysterious music, an
| impressive haraDgue, acknowledging Tho
claims of each, but predicting future SUI
premacy 10 the sable-robed Columbian,
who was left at the close in sole occu-
patton Of the stage.
Considerable difference Of opinion exists
as 10 the relative merits ofthis eolioquy, and
that . resented last week by the 1Elioian,
and in deed compa rison is difficult. While
the one was perhaps the more snowy and
impressive, the other possessed more Of the
severe simplicity and deep Significance OF
the Greek tragedy, where the characters
embody ideas, not persons, and the effect
depends less on costume and action than on
the sentiment. Each performance was eS-
eeIlent in its way, and credit is due to both
societies for the best entertainment with
which they have ever presented us.
We might mention en- PGssa"t the un-
usually tasteful decoration ofthe house this
afternoon, which added no little TO the ci-
feet of the exercises. D. +.
TIE SEIZURE OF C1eAEs.-The seizure Of
large lot of cigars by the revenue officers
last week, seems to have been premature
as upon investigation the officers bave as
certained that they were mistaken in the
evidences upon which they We're taken.
We now learn that the history of the
cigars has been traced to the proper source,
and it has been shown that the duties,
which it was supposed had not been paid,
had in fact been all paid before their ship
ment from New York. There Is no censure
to be attached to the officers for making the
seizure, as they were honestly acting in the
supposed discharge of their duty; but we
are informed that it was upon informa-
tion that turns out wholly incorrect.
srvrcA STREET BRIDeE.-The Seneca
Street Bridge across the CuyahOga River
has been condemned and closed by the au-
thorities.
There is now no communication between
the city and the Atlantic d Great Western
Railway, the Northern Ohio Iron COmpa-
ny's Works, the Ship Yard, and the
Heights, except by the small and badly
constructed bridge near the soap factories,
above the Seneca street crossing, where ev-
cry conceivable stencil ofiends the nostrils
of the passenger. The road and the bridge
itself is totally untitled for the traffic now
thrown on it.
The bridge across the canal near Wool
SON and Hitchcoek's foundry has also been
condemned.
There is not single safe bridge across
the river or canal above Columbus street.
There is only one bridge standing across
Walworth Run, the others having fallen.
