Academy Of Music.

There was the usual full attendance at
the Academy last evening. and the usual
excellent performance. Nearly every piece
was encored, except the dramatic perform
ances and the feats on the trapeze by Mile.
Blanche Leopold and Mr.. George Leopold.
Much as these feats of these performers
are applauded, the audience apparently con-
sidsred it cruel to ask the beautiful young
gymnast for repetition Of an act appa-
rently so fraught with danger. These feats
on the trapeze are certainly thrilling.
The little farce of the Intelligence Office
was given with comic effect. Miss Maria
Zoe, in song and dance. was applauded
and encored. The PAS de Deux" by Mile.
Cantata and Hannah Birch, and the Scotch
Strathspey, by Mile. Eiize Scott, were splen
did specimens of the saltatory. The new
ballet, '.La PolOnaise," was of itself worth
more than the admission fee.
Walter Bray is one of the most natural
specimens of the African comique that has
ever appeared on the boards at New Or
leans. There is nothing far fetched OF
strained in his delineatiOns: they are as
natural as nature itself. In fact, when he
appeared the audience seemed disposed
to make him the whole evenings entertain,
ment, for he was encored back at every
exit. The "Pas Hongrois" by Mile Elize
and "La Polonaise" by Mile Teresa Anto
nino. in the ballet were performed with
fascinating effect. Billy Carter, as usual
earned his soubriquet of " inimitable.' The
only drawback to the entertainment was
the indisposition of Mr.. Doisy, which pre-
vented the performance Of "Punch and
Judy"
There will be a matinee to-day at twelve
o'clock, which will be repeated every Satur
day. And there will be several novelties OF
| an attractive kind introduced next week.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FEVER.


Vessels from Infected Ports.
From the New York Herald
In view Of the recent intelligence from
New Orleans as to the ravages of yellow
fever there. the Health Officer of this port
yesterday detained the steamship Western
Metropolis and her passengers at Lower
Quarantine. This action was necessitated
from the fact that not only is that dread
disease very prevalent there, but that the
steamship De Soto, Oh her recent backward
trip from New Orleans to this port, when
stopping at Havana, was compelled to
leave five of her crew sick with yellow fever
in hospital at the same place. These men
had contracted the disease at New Orleans,
and it was of virulent type. Hereafter,
until the fever shall have abated in the
Crescent City and the weather has become
cooler, all vessels from that port will un-
dergo like detention with those from
Havana. The Western Metropolis passen-
gers and crew were in apparent good health
on her arrival, and the vessels detention,
although unpleasant to both those on board
and the quarantine officials, was cOmpul-
sorry in view of the facts stated.
The following important notice was yes
tertlay issued by the Health Officer Of the
port to masters of vessels and pilots inter-
ested. A strict observance of the require
ments of the quarantine officer by the latter
will be an effectual bar to the entrance OF
yellow fever into the city:
HEALTH OFFICRR's DEPARTMENT.
Quarantine Staten Island, September a. 1870.
Pilots and masters Of vessels are hereby
notified that all vessels from New Orleans,
Mobile, Barcelona and all ports infected
with yellow fever or cholera will, until fur
ther notice. be boarded and examined from
the steamship Illinois, in the lower bay.
Masters of vessels from foreign ports ar
irving by way of Long Island Sound, are
also reminded that pursuant to the health
laws of the port, and III accordance with the
established quarantine regulations. they are
required to report to this quarantine as soon
as practicable after their arrival.

According to French paper, violent
scene occurred in Metz, between Bazaine
and LebGuf. When the latter showed him
the decree which gave him command over
the corps lately commanded by the wounded
General Decaen, General Bazaine refused
to recognize this appointment, and even
threatened Lebeuf with his sword. The
latter threatened to have him shot. Ba-
zaine answered: II dare you to find four
men and corporal in the whole French
army who would carry such an order into
effect. But were to call up volunteers for
similar purpose, ten thousand brave men
would fight for a chance to put an end to
your miserable existence"
