ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-We can promise the la
dies and little ones who attend to days matinee a
rare treat in witnessing the facsimile of an en-
gsRement on shipboard, in the final scene of the
" jolly Pfivateer." They will see whizzing shells
come tumbling in upon the stage, exploding among
the sailors, carrying imaginary death and de-
struetion TO all on board they will smile at the
terror of Timothy Tddpole, admire the grace of
the pretty tars as they mlngle in the mazes of a
sailors hornppe, and will be ready TO die with
laughter at the humor of Schoolcraft, when, ar
ray ed in female apparel, he sings Single Cen
tlfmen, how do you do" The comic pantomime
Enchantment" will also be produced, and Louis
Zanfretta will perform his thrilling Niagara
Leap" This, with an olio programme. will make
up the performance for to-day at noon aud this
evening. The mysteries of the Ku Klux are to
be exposed on Monday evening.
SACRED COHCERT.-The entertainment at the
Carondelet Street Methodist Church last evening
was well attended. and the musical exercises
were characterized by rare excellence and
beauty. The anthem, " Praise TO Thee, our
Great Creator" was, we thought, particularly
well rendered, as was also the solo in the
second part, a" Hark, the Church Bells" aided
by the effect of chorus in the distance. The
singing by the Sunday scholars gave an increased
interest TO the occasion, and formed a delightful
variation to the more artistic but none the more
beautiful portions of the programme. The au-
them, Thou Lord art my hope" concluded the
entertainment, and sent the listeners home with
pleasant memories of the melodies which they
had heard.

Supreme Court ofthe United stHtes-NO. rs
December Term, 1867.

The st. Louis Street Foundry, etc., Geo. Cro-
nan, Claimant, Appellant, VS.. the United States.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion Of
the court.
This case is not dstiDguishsble in principle
from those just decided. IL appears from the re-
cord that Cronan, in the Circuit Court, pleaded
the amnesty proclaimed By President Lincoln on
the sth December, 1868, and the oath taken by
himself in pursuance of the proclamation. In this
plea there was no averment that Cronan was not
within any of the exceptions made by the procla-
nation, and it was therefore, properly overruled.
Upon proper pleading and proof. however, the
claimant of property seized under the act of Au-
gust 9Th, 1861, is entitled to the benefit of am.
nesty to the same extent as under like pleading
and proof he would be entitled to the benefit of
pardon.
The decree of the Circuit Court must be re-
versed as irregular, and the cause remanded with
directions TO allow new trial, the proceedings in
which shall be conformed, in respect TO trial by
jury and exceptions to evidence, to the course of
the common law.
