THE PArrT-MARIo CoNCERTs.-The
preat anxiety of our citizens to hear this
yery excellent troupe has never been ex-
ceeded. and only equalled on the occasion of
the debut of Mile Nilsson, II we may judge
from the inquiries In regard to, and applica-
tons, In advance, for secured seats: This
Is not alone the case here, but appllcabions
are pouring in from adjacent towns-one Of
which reports want OF fifty seats. The sale
will commence at O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing at the Music Emporium OF d. Dorman q
Co, where we find arrangements are COM
pleted for avoiding confusion and delay
from the crowd that may naturally be ex-
pected; and that there may be no cause for
complaint, not seat will be secured until
the hour named, that al may have an equal
opportunity of securing the choice ones.
This rule has been made imperative, al
though premiums have been offered for
seats, for several days past. The prices
fixed are even less than charged by MIR.
Strskosch in New York, while, as rule, In
the past, on such occasions, there has always
been an advance. This liberality on bis
mart will we feel assured, be appreciated as
greatly as the choice entertainment he viii
present. As we learn, chairs will be subsli-
tuted for the usual settees In the centre
sections of the hall, and these are fixed at
$3.50, and the side sections at $500.
CAL. WAGNER's MINISTRIES. - We
thought the whole city was out TO see Cal.
Wagner and his excellent company on the
opening night, but the audience last night
satisfied us that we were mistaken. Every
seat was filed, every aisle crowded with
standees, and the promenade in the rear of
the dress circle so full that 1t was nearly
impossible 10 squeeze through. As the old
adage goes, talent will tell, and it has been
many day since Nashville has witnessed
more talented company. Along that
formidable line of MINISTRIES, from bones to
tamborine, every man is star. If praise
can be bestowed upon the vocal part
Of the entertainment, and the
singing Is first class, the
grande carnival de Ethiope is rich, rare
and peculiar. Fred Wilson is host in
himself; his statues and comicalities are
unequaled. Cal. Wagner in his original
pastimes on the levee, is immense. His
Grafton last night was rapturously applaud
ed from beginning to end. One OF the
most laughsble burlesques Of the evening
was Booker's Return from San Domingo,
and the Market Day was equally happy.
Garfield, and Booker, Jr., repeated their
eccentricities last night, and their appear
ance in song and dance costume was greet
ed with loud applause. The performance
concluded with "Uncle Shsdy's Return"
side-splitting extravaganza. There is to
be matinee this afternoon, and the last en-
tertainnient tonight. We congratulate the
very agreeable manager and accomplishe d
gentleman, Mr.. Haverly, upon bis brilliant
success.
Sol SMITH RUssELL-Masonic Hall was
well filed last night, on the occasion of
Sol Smith Russell's last entertainment in
the city, and those present were kept in
good humor the entire evening by the iDim-
table drolleries Of this talented young ac-
tor. In bis peculiar line, Russell has few
equals, and he gives value received to all
who patronize him. He is assured of a
hearty welcome from our citizens whenev-
er he chooses to visit Nashville.
