Msstlng iar Relief & Ioyal sutEsrera,

A meeting was bolden last evening at City
Hall for the purpoee Of raising funds to relieve
the present distress Of the people of East Ter
nessee and west Virginia. Gov. Washbu,p
presided AID introduced Rev. Mr.. Carther and
Col. Tayior, who spoke eloquently in behalf oI
those interesting portions of our country. The
meeting was not so large as could be wished,
bat was wen attended and good spirit mani
tested. The speakers made eloquent and stir
ring appeals to our citizens for help, and no
doubt these appeals will be generously re-
sponoed to by our people. These sections of
our country have suffered immensely from the
ravages OF war and the inhabitants are in
very destitute condition and must have help
or many will perish Of hunger. 1
On motion Hon. W. w. Tomas was selected
to raise committee to solicit subscriptions to
aid those people who have thus suffered and
still remained true as steel to the Union. If
there are any people under the light Of the
sun who have claims upon the charities of the
public, they are the people of East Tennessee
and West Virginia. Gov. Washburn will ad.
wise with some of our citizens and appointsaid
committee, of which due notice will be given
through the papers, so that all can have An
opportunity to contribute to relieve their
brethren in those distant lands. Althouoh onr
citizens are often called upon, vet the true
spirit OF charity still animatcs their hearts. and
they are not yet weary in well doing. He
who gives to the poor lends to the Lord.

Misunderstanding Hall last evening was
literally packed. We have seldom seen ii
more crowded. Colleen Bawn was the play.
brought out with some beautiful new scenery.
and generally in very acceptable manner
Murray never did better. Beattie is an old
favorite Miss Bidwell was admirable Mrs.
Mcdonald can't be beat in her line of charac.
tiers. Some of the other parts were very fair;
some were very imperfect. The play will i'm
prove as the different actors become more fa-
miliar with their parts. Tonight no doubt
another crowded house will greet them, and
we assure those who attend that a fine enter
tainment awaits them.
We would suggest that the curtain should
rise promptly at the hour announced. Ifkept
down beyond that time the audience becomes
impatient, and unpleasant demonstrations are
sure to be the result.

INDEPENDENT LEcTURE-Maor James
Haggerty, who is to speak at City Hall this
evening, is spoken of by the New York papers
as possessing rare talents as a speaker. His
speeches at Cooper Institute and the Academy
OF Music are reported as being listened to with
unusual interest Ofhis ability the public will
have an opportunity to judge this evening.
Shaws Quartette will sing as usual at the
opening and the close of the lecture. We will
take this occasion to say, that a few people al
ways seem called upon to disturb the whole
audience, to annoy the singers and to mar the
festivities of the occasion, by starting for the
door the moment the lecture is over, and be-
fore or during the closing song. 1t is hoped
this custom may be honored tonight in the
breach rather than in the observance.
