PoCAHoNTAs.-John BrOugham's famous bur-
lesque is q favorite in the United States, even In
the .Old Dominion" where the blood Of the gen.
tie savage bronzes the cheeks in fancy Mt least,
Of many o famous family. 1t is smart.and pun
gent; as full OF puns as Gaelic Is OF consonants,
and with as many funny situations as there are
liquid vowels in the soft Tuscan tongue. The In
terest OF the legend never nags; and If it con
always be illustrated and adorned by troupe
like that which now occupies our Academy, the
lyrico-dramatico .burlesQuo-serioso "Pocahontas'
will surely never die.
Mrs. Oates last night played "John Smith" with
unconqCerable spirit, and vivid force Which
knows no such word as tire. The dramatic
ability Of this fair lady Is more apparent every
day. There Is Infinite variety in her acting, and
her rich, full voice was displayed to admirable
advantage in the graceful songs introduced into
the Indian burlesque.
II. r. II. Princess Pocahontas fell to the lot OF
Mrs. Sheldon, distressingly bewltching dame
for whom the universal Smith might well live,
and could hardly refuse to die. Miss Ida DeSoyer
appeared as Di-mun d, fixing herself more firm.
" than ever in popular favor. Mr.. Allen was
glorious Powhatan, and his ripe, mellow, bass
told well In the concerted music. All the minor
parts were well filled, and the company played
and sang with the c.ocE-work precision aui ac-
curacy for which they are famous.
The intricate guitar solo by Mr.. Hernandez was
loudly applauded rs was the "Tumbleronicon.'
Gan Alarming sacridce," laughable farce,

TIE BENEFIT OF MRS. OATEs.-The "Pride Of
the Market" and other pieces, will be played at
the Academy Of Music tonight, for the oeneht OF
Mrs Oates. the charming actress, who Is already
so great favorite with all lovers OF grace, Skill
and wholesome fun. Burlesque may be only
twlc or the fanatic tree, but 1t can be made the
source Of infinite amusement, while to perch there
successfully the bola buresquer must possess
different powers, which are rarely found together.
All these Mrs. Oates enjoys in an eminent degree.
A spirited and careful actress, OF graceful pres
ence, the possessor OF a rich, ringing voice, and
having full command OF all the resources OF the
dramatic and lyric stage, the fair lady Is as
fascinating in comedy Us in burlesque, and in
pure burlcsque is inimitable. The pieces chosen
for tonight will display to good purpose the
versatility OF her genius, and it is expected that
she will have a crowded house. On Saturday the
nresent engagement of the Oates Company comes
to an end, and for some time there will be no
fresh opportunity OF beholdlng again the 'twinS-
ling ssar Of the lyric stage" whose oenen'
comes or tonight.

THE RIGHT OF THE CITY TO IMPRIsoN.-The
grand jury, in their presentment made yesterday,
directed the attention OF the court to the fact that
"persons arrested for alleged violations Of the
law by the detective force without legal process
have been confined for fifteen days in the cells
under the City Hail." The decisions of the Mayors
Court, in condemnng persons charged with
statutory offences to Imprisonment in the House
or Correction, were also considered grave viola
tion of the law, as no person charged with an in.
dictable offence should be confined in any other
place than the county jail.
The arbitrary exercise Of power by the police
aud other municipal authorities has been fire.
quently questioned; and while the right OF the
city to punish all violations OF Its ordinances is
not doubted, it is claimed that when fines are I'M
posed and the offender refuses to pay the Record
cr's Court Is the proper tribunal to which the case
should be referred for adjudication, as the city
has not the right to imprson until the fine i'm
posed should be paid. This was tested on point
similar to that stated above on Tuesday morning,
before Judge Carpenter. man who was fined
in the Mayors Court for an offence against city
ordinance refused to pay the fine, and was i'm
prisoned. The case was brought before the Judge
on habeas corpus, which was granted, on the
grounds that the remedy for the city lay In the
Recorders Court, and Imprisonment vas illegal.
