Dramatic Items,

The audience of the New Vaudeville Theatre,
in Brussels, had narrow escape lately. Some
unusual eaprices in the gas caused a fe persons
to leave the house. The majority remained,
and their feelings were vivdy aroused by the
sudden fail of the curtain before the end of the
piece, and the appearance Of the manager who
begged all present to leave the house imme-
diately, as an explosion was apparently immi-
pent. At this juncture the gas turned off alto
gether, and the alarmed people had to struggle
out Of the theatre as they best could. 1t ls
greatly to their credit that in spite OF the pre-
vailing terror, every one escaped without ln ury.
Had there been stampede the loss OF life
would probably have been very great. As it
was, some ladies only lost their cloaks, or got
separated from their parties: this, with the
difficulty of reaching home for those whose
carriages had not arrived, formed the sum OF a
mschance that might have swollen into eala
nifty. Very dashing aud fearless young ladies
went, in perfect confidence, on the following
evening to the opera, satisfied that such a fright
could not visit them two nights running.
An adaptation of Vcor Hugos novel of "Les
Mserables," by Mr.. Henry Neville, was recently
produced at the Olympic Theatre, Londo n,
under the title of 7he Yeilolo Passport. 1t is
described as "a commonplace and rather dull
the most approved description. Its characters
are shadowy to an extent which it is difficult to
comprehend when we remember the materials
with which the adapter had to work; and its plot
consists Ola series ofincidents connected together
by little except the presence OF one individual
in them all. The dialogue, always bald and
commonplace, becomes offensive in the comic
scenes, and the entire work is II Grade aud most
unsatisfactory production" 1t appears to us
that this description would answer for most
dramatiZalions of novels.
On the 14h of May, 18lS, The Merry Wlues
of Windsor was performed at the Haymarket
Theatre London, by the following cast:-"Sir
John Falstaff," Mr.. Marx Lemon; "shallow,"
Mr.. Charles Dickens SLENDER John Leech;
Pistol )" George Crulkshank.
Mr. John S. Clarke is now performing at the
Strand Theatre, London, in Major Wellington
de Boots" the part in which he made his debut
in England.
The receipts at the theatres, concert rooms,
and places of public amusement in Paris
amounted in October to 1,776, ,029i., being an
increase OF no, 700t. on the previous month.

THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.
THE p1ATFoRM-READNG oFTHE RESOLUTIONS
HOW THEY WERE RECEIVED.

The New York correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, in noticing the scene in the Con-
vention when the platform Ras adopted, says:
The Committee on Resolutions announced
their readiness to report, and the reading or
the resolves was begun amid the most intense
interest in all quarters.
Mr.. Murphy, Of New York, read the resolu-
tions. The first resolve, in reference to the
real Jackson ring, and was ratified by loud ap-
plause. Part Of the second resolve inclines to
O general amnesty, and was received with even
q more cordial attestation but when tho third
(greenback) resolution was read, the long, ear
nest, enthusiastic applause Of the entire Con-
vention and audience proved to the simplest
observer that sn issue living, vital and broad
popular hea1t had been struck. The doctrine
Of this resolution and its adjuncts would carry
New York to-d.-- by one hundred thousand ma
When these thrnders OF applause had ceas-
ed, the fourth resolve, in favor Of equal taxa
tion, was read with equally general applause.
The fifth resolution, declaring the demanding
of currency for the p duSer, soldier, laborer,
the people, and the bon6holder, was read amid
such enthusiasm as I have never seen surpass-
ed. The sixth, seventh art eighth resolutions
we're applauded, especially the one touching the
rights Of naturalized citizens. Then followed
the resolve denouncing the Radi, al party, which
was most happily worded; the most telling
points were Of once noted Lnd appreci-
ated; the compliment to the Chief, JUS
tice was loudly applauded, and the denun-
citation of the Reconstruction a ts 'as revolu-
tionary and void drew forth such applause that
halt again became necessary. The recognition
OF the debt due to the soldiers and sailors Of the
republic was seized upon for cordial ch 3ering,.
and the plank in favor OF the actual settlers OF
the public domain also took well. The resolution
thanking President johnson got loud anf long
applause all over the vest chamber, and 1t the

COLUMBIA, s. c., July 8.-The Legislature

attempt made to prevent the Anderson delega-
