Atili NhNNE&S BATTERY CUNCEET. Not
withstanding tho unusual heat of the weather,
there was u numerous ana attentive audience
at the New Opera House Inst night on the
occasion Of the concert given for charitable
purposes by Fenner's Battery The selection
of pieces was tasteful and appropriate and the
execution everything that could be expected
from The amateurs whose names had been pub
licly hernlded Although we have heard Miss
Annie Mclean under better auspices, she still
lost nothing of the reputation she has already
acquired. Mrs. Block and Mr.. Eaton. Mrs.
Guon, W, Wheeler, Captain Foster,
and the Quartette club, were all
excellent in their performances while Mrs.
Hedges and Miss Carlotta Shaw one with
her moving Scotch ballads, so touchingly rem
dered, the other with her extraordinary grace
and skill on the piano forte-won the hearts
and the applause Of the audience. They We're
both visions Of beauty, one of them never
called forth upon public stage except in the
| cause of holy charity, and as such we give
them the exalted tribute which they so richly
| deserve
We learn that full two thousand tickets were
sold, although, as we limited above, the in
tense heat prevented a great many from
attending.

from Hiram Fl. Carver, Esq, who was not long

four long years and after being d" recon
strueted, has been spontaneously elected by
! his people in token OF his worth and talents.
Both he and his partner are worthy and able
members Of the bar. Mr.. Carver can be found
for the next few days at the office Of Mr. y.
H, Rightor, on Commercial alley.
---a 60
disastrous fire broke ont at Frankfort,
near Philadelphia, on the 18th, which proved
very disastrous. The we'll known Tacony
Print Works were destroyed, thereby causing
three hundred operatives to be thrown out al
employment The loss is estimated at
$780, 600, After the breaking out of the flames
a man was detected setting fire to another mill
in the vicinity, which confirms the suspicion
that the fire was the work Of an incendiarv. A
general alarm throughout the city was ordered
by Chief Engineer Lyle, not by ringing the
State House bell, but through the boxes
located in the different engine houses.
