luxurious feast, when helping himself to
some butter, along with the unctious mass

held it up, gazed suspiciously at it for a mo-

much originality in the performances Of
the company, and many new and touch
ing ballads are well sung. The orches.

tions constitute a musical treat. The
opening chorus, quartette, is harmoni
ously given, and is we'll followed by the
sweet airs of Heyer and Murphy. Harris

story of faithful James Bird, is sufii

manner. The latter is well planned
and admits of splendid hits in the char

The steamboatmen held a conference
with Secretary Boutwell, on the 18th, re-

well thought the best way for steamboat
men to act in the matter was to send

at the meeting of the Board of Super
vising Inspectors to confer with them.
The Secretary promised the steamboat
men his assistance in the modification
of the laws so far as it is consistent with
his views on the matter. He assured
them that proper provision would be
made to prevent monopolies in the sale
of life preservers, etc.
