AN AMUSING INCIDENT
iB reported to have occurred at the Academy Of
Music on the last evening Pauline Lucca sang
where Zerlind places heree1f before the mirror
and proceeds to disrobe, while singing viva
cious and coquettish aria 8 Peo1ian and his wife
looked on from one Of the front seats OF the
parquet with evident amazement and confu-
sion.
1t is highly probable that the man WAS not an
hd6itue at the opera, and that he was altogether
ignorant OF Auber's composition. He was seen
to whisper several times to his consort, and then
to cast his eyes about the house to determine
how the audience received such palpable i'm
propriety on the part Of the prima donna. He
grew very nervous and fdgety, and finally, when
Zerlina removed her bodice, he jumped up, aud
was heard By those near him to remark: q" Como
along, mother; the opery is a confounded sight
worse than I thought it was. I bad no idee
women undressed themselves in this way, and
that all the big-bugs Of New York would sit still
and look at it as if it wasn't nuthin'. don't
make much pretence myself but, out in Illinois.
they wouldn't call this kind o thing even de-
cent"
TEE RIVAL WARBLERB.
Pauline Iucca's great SUCCESS here, and the
decline of Clara Keuogg's popularity, though
without any good reason, have created much i'll
feeling in the American prima donna's admirers
against the German artistic. Lucca ia not to
blame it the public carea less than it once did to
hear Kellogg,-Bhe sings better than ever since
her return from Europe, and yet so unwise and
unjust are many Of Kellogg's friends, that they
are angry enough to hiss Lucca, and would be
glad, doubtless, il she could be driven from the
stage. Maretzek hoped to placate everybody bv

his discretion and generosity have had exactly
the opposite effect. He who would have
peaceful life should let italian opera alone.

THE NEWS.
In New York.


NEW YORK, July 10.-On the announce
ment of the nomination of Greeley and
Brown three field pieces fired one hundred
guns in the City Hall Park. Flags were
hoisted on the City Hall. A banner was
suspended between two large trees in the
City Hall Park with the inscription "Tam-
many responds TO the Nomination OF the
National Convention at Baltimore" The
immense crowd that had assembled inter-
spersed the firing with cheers for Greeley.
Memphis.
MEMPHIS, July 10.-The nomination OF
Greeley and Brown and adopting the Tin
cinnati platform was read here with great
enthusiasm by the Democrats. The DIP
peal and AUdldnche Offices have suspended
across the street immense flags with Gree
ley and Brown inscribed on them. The
Greeley clubs will at once take steps to hold
a ratification meeting.

Special to the Union and American.
BALTIMORE, July 10.-The report of the
Committee on Resolutions, recommending
the adoption of the Cincinnati Platform
was received with great applause, but Ii
produced considerable discussion and ex
element. The previous question was de-
manded and sustained, and under its oper-
alton, the platform was adopted, ayes 60
noes 90. Tennessee voted aye, a majority
Of the delegation controlling its action. On
the adoption of the platform, a few Of the
Tennessee delegates, voted in the negative,
but the majority favored the adoption, and
so controlled the action ofihe State.
The domination of Greeley was received
with the widest applause. The indica-
tons here to-day are very clear that an
Overwhelming majority of the people are
for Greeley. hege2test confidence in his
success prevails. To-day's work has In
spired everybody with a firm conviction
that Horace Greeley will be the next Pres
ident.
The disafected brethren who are holding
4 little conference here-it cannot be digni-
fed as convention, for it represents no
body except those who take part in its pro-
caedings-are so few in number and pos
sess so little influence wherever they are
known, that they scarcely excite remark.
Their Efforts to get up a counter movement
to that which eliminated in the nomina-
ton of Greeley and Brown to-day, will
prove an utter failure.
