New YORK, Aug. 30, 1869.
Bevv of Theatrical and Musical People
sailed for this port yesterday from England and
France. Among them were Mrs. Dr. Grove
(sliss Bateman), Mad'lle Carlotta Patti Mr..
Theodore Ritter, and VI. Strakosch There has
been no effort as yet to puff Miss Bateman.
Her father has been here for the last week or
two but the old gentleman has kept commend
ably quiet and not bothered the "Oyster supper
critics with eulogies of "My daughter Kate"
and the 'infant." Miss Bateman, / presume,
will at once seize upon the old affections of the
New York public, and deserves to, for she is
good woman and an excellent actress, and now
that she is married and no longer hampered by
papa carries out her own ideas of the char
acters she individualzes without being goaded
at rehearsas, into bursting into tears She will
make her first appearance in this city on Sep
tember 20 IN Lean, and after that play has run
its course will produce PietrG.
The WOrreII Sisters
hold such an exalted position in the realm of
histrOnic art that you will be glad to learn that
a reconciliation has been effected between the
soft-hearted Sophy, the Juvenile Jenny, and the
irate Irene. This is due to the friendly manipu-
lations of Mr.. Clifton w. Tayeure, the great
peacemaker of the coulisses. "Let the bond of
love hold three he exclaimed in the words of
the tyrant Dionysius to Damon and Pythias,
and now the bond of love, or at least the bond
of business eXpediency, does hold en- and in
such GoTdian knot as hope will never be
tied, or even cut, again.
Messrs. Lord 81 Taylor, of this city, are con-
structing, at the corner of Broadway and Twen-
tieth street,
A Magnificent store,
which, like the last new baby, is unlike anything
the world ever saw before. l have seen the
plans and undergone explanation at the tongue
of the architect, but the only ideas that have
been beaten into my poor brain is that the new
structure has no prototype in this city, or, in
deed, on this continent. 1t is expected to beat
Stewards hollow. The front is to be entirely Of
bronze, and the great feature of the structure
will be its unique succession of pavilons, giving
it a triangular tendency, and introducing an in-
definite quantity of ground glass. 1t will cover
one hundred and forty.seven feet upon Broad
way, and nearly two hundred feet upon Twen-
tieth street, and will take down every other
dry goods shanty in Gotham.
Professor Henry,
of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, has
just presented to the Geological Department of

Police Justice Hogan,
| on Saturday last, performed another marriage
service which united two noble creatures. One
| was Count Alexander NOtecz Sadowsky, and the
| other Miss Alexandra AugustynOwictz. The
Count is Pole, thirty years of age, and a resi-.
dent on Ninth street of this city. The Countess
is a Russian, ten years younger, and an inhabi'
tant of Fifth street. The lady had been divorced
it is stated, just four hours, and was as radiant
as a diyorcee under such heart-rending circum
stances could be expected to be. Judge Barnard
performed the ceremony, and pronounced his
blessing amid an atmosphere in which the flavor
of fish was decidedly prominent.
