Of the city yesterday that possesses the least
interest to the public. No boats arrived from the
upper country, and consequently there
considerable addition 70 the sable crowd on the
corner of Drysdes and Canal streets. There was
a procession of Grant and Colfax chevaIers,
which passed down st. Charles street, and sere-

Mr. schwartz represented himself to Mr.. Ddhamel,
the well known oprician, as agent OF the firm of

ACADENY.--This favorite resort was crowded to
its fullest extent last evening. The audience
seem ed to be very well satisfied with the perform.
ances but, for ourselves, we could find nothing
original or worthy of communication in the bakers
dozen of burnt cork faces ranged on the stage,
the bodies seated in chairs, aud the legs encssed
in white pants with straps to keep them down.
The jokes were principally railroad jokes, aud
better adapted TO Chicago than to New Orleans
We have no doubt the regular troupe will be
everything that the people can wish in point OF
excellence.

The MARKET ORDINANCES reported last evening
| to the Board Of Assistant Aldermen by the finance
| committee, and ordered to be published aud laid
| over one week. were not read, but we understand
| they contemplate very considerable reduction
| IN market dues, amounting TO breaking up of
the old time mOnop0lies, and iu a short time,
through competition, very considerable cheap
/ eniDg of all market supplies-an end to be
| heartily desired. If the ordinances accomplish
the desired object, it will do much to place our
| City Council In q light before the community
| quite different from that generally shown by some
| of our contemporaries.
We have avoided taking any part in defending the
present council from the charges and insinuations
made by some of the city journals, for the reason
| that we have been satisfied that their own acts
| would soon correct any erroneous impression
| formed. The attitude assumed by the Legislature
| towards the city government has been such that
the present council and especially the finance
| committee, have had no fair opportunity of show
| ing their capacity and ability to combat the diff
culties placed in their path by the acts of their
! pTe6ecs ssOrs, which we are assured have been
very great.
