Amusements.

MEMPHIS CLUB.-Mr. Oscar Guttmsn
has kindly consented to give another
dramatic reading at the Memphis Club
Hall this evening. On Sunday evening
he discoursed his Shakspesre's Merchant
of Venice to most delighted audience,
and the profound suspense in which the
wistful crowd was held for nearly two
hours was, however, interrupted by such
involuntary bursts of applause as rarely
ever are paid an actor or reader of any
but the most consummste merit. Mr..
Guttman's conception and Interpretation
of Shakspssrs's "Shylock" is II strik-
ingly discriminating and philosophical
one, and perhaps the most just in it's
moral reflex action upon the senses Of the
nearer, as also, perhaps, one more worthy
the immortal bard Of Avon than any Of
the commonplace aud egrogious miscon-
ceptious so rsmpantly prevalent upon
the American stage and persevsrsd 10,
more to please the unreAecting vulgar
minds, who see their proscriptive pro-
pensilies so faithfully reflected in 3 mirror
which becomes true or a false one. ac-
cording to the greater or less degree Of
philosophie Discrimination on the part of
the actor or reader who holds it up. To-
night Mr.. Guttmsn viii read Lessing's
interesting drama, 4innd Yon Barn
hahn, and no doubt will have a full
house. This is positively the last and
only chance to hear the talented reader
in this city, az the morning train will
carry him to New Orleans.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..
Monthly Meeting Yesterday-Infer-
esting Proceedings.

The monthly meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce was held yesterday after
noon. President Nelson, who presided,
congratulat Memphis on the reduction
of the merchants tax and the brilliant
prospects of Memphis generally. After
matters of minor importance had been
disposed of. Judge Henry G. Smith,
Chairman of the Committee, read an
elaborate report in reference to the
seizure Of the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad by the new Board of
Mayor and Aldermen. Facts recited 10
this report are already known TO the pub
lie. Nothing practical has been effected
by the Committee, which cougratulates
the city and Arkansas on the adjustment
of all troubles, and the probable speedy
completion of this most important work.
The Committee stated that from their
examination Of the books and employees
of the old Company they we're Satisfied
of the perfect integrity of the old Board,
but could not say that the, work had been
prosecuted with all desirable energy.
| The people of Arkansas ara assured Of
the good faith of Memphis, which tolls as
earnestly for the prosperity of that State
and of its cities as for her own. In fact,
the interests of Arkansas and of Mem
phis are Identical and wholly inseparable.
The following resolutions, offered by
VIM. R. Moore, Esq, we're unanimously
adopted
WHEREAS, By large and liberal expeu.
ditures Of money contributed by the mer-
chants and citizens of Memphis, and
merchants and citizens of Arkansas,
several packet companies, with superior
boats, have been formed, and are now
successfully plying daily to and from
| Memphis in the waters of the Arkansas,
White, Black, St. Francis and Little Red
rivers as the result of such expenditures,
thereby bringing to our city an immense
and constantly increasing trade; and
WHEREAS, The late unjust and OPP
pressive system of State taxation upon
the merchants of Tennessee has been re-
placed by her Legislature with rates as
favorable as those of any other sister
State, thereby enabling us to compete
successfully with any State in the Union;
and,
WHEREAS, The merchants and business
men of Memphis have recently estab-
lished, at a great cost, line of barges
between this city and st. Louis, thereby
reducing the rates of freight at least one
half; and whereas, the statistics of the
different cotton markets show that cotton
shipped to Memphis nets the producer
prices superior to those obtained else
where; therefore
Resolred, That in view of these and
other established and valid reasons, this
Chamber do now confidently invite to our
city the entire trade of the surrounding
country, assuring them of such constant
ly improving facilities here 90 must se-
cure their whole business in the future.
