rhe ElRnt for Inc New Tenor.

The London correspondent of the IRE
ter and Plymouth gdzsits gives an amusing
description of what he terms the light"
between Messrs. eye and Mapleson for
the new tenor, signor Campanini-"Al-
most simultaneously Mr.. Mapleson and
Augustus Harris, who acted for Mr.. eye,
started off to Naples where the new star
was singing. It was neck-and-neck
race, and both gentlemen reached Naples
within an hour ofeach other. Rumor has
It that by dint of lavish largesse and inge-
NOUS stratagem, "Gussy" first gained nc.
cess TO the gifted man. He was enabled
to offer high terms (400 pounds month
for three months)i and an engagement
cone uded, If on hearing the accom-
plished Italian sing In public he still sus-
tanned the same opinion of his powers.
Gloating over his presumed victory, Mr..
eyes agent returned to his hotel, awaiting
calmly the performance at the Opera
which was to be "Rlgotetto," Campo
mani, of course, playing the Duke. But
now came Mr.. Mapleson's turn. lie TOO,
obtained an interview, and was soon In
formed how matters stood. Not bit taken
aback, he was ready for the emergency.
lie offered better terms, and what is more.
agreed to dispense altogether with hear
ing of his voice In u public operate per-
Torrance. Then and there bargain was
struck, and the Lane outdid the Market.
II was great risk to run, but results
show that Mr.. Mapeson was right. signor
Campanni met with most enthusiastic
reception at his debut In "Lucretia. Borgia"

years, was arrested Thursday by officer
Shaw, for disturbing the services at Bran
DIVINE NJ. T.. Church, In the Ninth Ward.
II appears that Mullen, in company with
a number of others, has been disturbing
the peace of that neighborhood for
some time, aud have been great
annoyance to the citizens generally
in that locality. Mullen was before the
Mayor, this morning, and alter receiving a
severe reprimand from his Honor, was
fred $500 and cots, and held to bail in
the sum of 5000 to keep the peace. It j.
hoped this will have a tendency to put
stop 10 all such conduct In the future.

Falls, N. Y, few days since, An officer
had taken a prisoner there, and after leav-
ing him in safe hands was obliged to go
back to Herkimer. To avoid the trouble
of carrying pair of handouts that he had
been using on the prisoner, he left them in
the telegraph office at the depot. When
he had arrived at Herkimer he found a
dispa,ch awaiting him, in these words ;
= Come back to tut Falls quick" lie re-
turned by the first train and found his
handouts enjoying the unwonted honor
of circling young lady's wrists. She
had happened TO call at the telegraph Of
fee, and some of her friends there had
placed them on her hands, aud then acct
dentally closed them. The handouts wer'
self-lockers, and the officer had the keyI
in his pocket, so the innocent prisoner
was compelled to wear these undesirable
articles of jewelry until his return.
