ADJUSTMENTS.

New MEMPHIS THEATER.-Mr. Jeffer-
son performed to a crowded and fashion
able auditory, last evening, the leading
parts in two of the most laughable come
dettas of the modem drama; Mr..
Coli htly" in Lend Me Five ShiIlings,
aud "Tobias Shortcut" in Spitfre.
With his already established reputation
as comedian, it is unnecessary to say
that he kept the house convulsed with
laughter. This evening Bourcicalts
great dramatization of Rip Yam Winkle
will be repeated on the occasion of
Mr.. Jefferson's last appearance, and for
the benefit of country folks special trains
will be run on the several roads con-
verging at this point, which will convey
passengers to town and return at the
close of the performance, as during the
run of the Black Crook. Our country
friends wishing to see Mr.. Jefferson, will
therefore make their arrangements ac-
cordingly. On Wednesday night next,
Mr.. Frank Roche, the leading man of
the stock company, will take benefit,
and it rests with his friends and admirers
to see that the compliment is commensu-
rate with his merits as an actor.
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CoYcERT.-The
grand vocal and instrumental entertain.
ment for the aid of the Congregation Of
the Children Of Israel, which has been
the theme of conversation and the on dit
in musical circles for the past several
weeks, will come off at the Memphis
Club Hall, tomorrow evening.
tbs VARIETIEs.-The numerous at
fractions of the present week are filling
THE pleasant resort with highly delighted
audiences. On Thursday evening next
Mr.. Charley White, the stage manager Of
the establishment, takes complimentary
benefit, on which occasion the entire
company will appear in new songs,
dances and acts, assisted also by Johnny
Hart, Oscar Willis aud Andy Mckee,
who have volunteered their services for
the evening. The public may be assured
Of q capital entertainment and Charley
Of full house.
THE GATETIEs-The doors Of this re-
sort having been reOpened to the public
free Of charge, the attendance last
evening vas large and enthusiastic
The several stars Of the company were
the recipients Of repeated applause
The entertainment viii be repeated, with
some changes, tonight.

IssuRAScr.-We call especial atten-
ton to the card OF ex-Mayor Lohand,
which appears in another column of THE
evenings issue. Our worthy ex-Mayor
has opened at the corner Of Jefferson and
Front streets general insurance agency,
representing the Knickerbocker Life, OF
New York the Aston Fire, Of New York;
the international, of New York; the
North American, Of Hartford; the Con-
tinental, of New York; the Liverpool,
London and Globe Insurance companies,
and the Fulton Fire-all reliable, solvent
and prompt paying companies. OF Mr..
LoAands personal claims upon the con-
iidence and respect Of the community, 1t
is quite unnecessary for us to spesk. He
is too wen known to render commenda-
ton necessary.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY In THE
MORNING.
Festivities and Ceremonies
this Evening.
Pleasure and Charity Com
bined.

As We 60 to press this morning the an
niversary of Old Ireland patron saint is
being celebrated by her numerous sons
in our midst, in a manner worthy the day
and the RENE m brances which cluster ever
green as the Shamrock around the name
of ST. Patrick. Between eight and nine
o'clock this morning the several Hiber-
nian societies of the city, with ensigns
and full regalia, assembled on Main
street in the vicinity of the Worsham
House, and headed by full cornet band
proceeded through the several more pop
ular streets of the city, to the inspiriting
strains of their native land and
Tyre, for fully two hours, when bring
ing up in front ofSSt Patricks Church,
on Desoto street, the procession filed
into the edi6ce, where an able, eloquent
and highly appropriate address on the
Life, Virtues and Writings of st. Pat.
rick was delivered by the Rev. Father
Walsh. And here we were required to
leave the happy and enthusiastic gath
ering to their ceremonies and pastimes,
which will be kept up through the whole
day. Another address will be given upon
a subject appropriate to the occasion, at
st. Peters Church, this evening, by the
Rev. Father Carroll, when a collection
will also be taken up for the benefit of
the orphans of the church. To this we
may add likewise the grand festival to be
given at the Memphis Club Hall to-night,
the proceeds of which will be charitably
applied. This latter will close the festiv.
tiles Of the day.
