The Grand Opera House Opcntng-''A
Midsummer Nights Drcam.'

The Grand Opera House Openfng-'A
Midsummer Nights Dream"
large audience gathered &C the Grand Opera
House last night at the reopening OF the theatre
and the revival OF Shakspeares fairy spectacle "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" The scenery was all
well painted, and the panorama at the close OF the
second act was beautiful piece OF work, seldom
equalled in any theatre. The play Is one Of pecu-
liar construction, and the only fairy spectacle ever
written which appeals at once to the imagination
and the judgment. Setting aside the impossible
Duke OF Athens-ior Shakespeare did not always
regard the veriies-very fairly rendered by Mr.. M.
A. Kennedy, and the other minor charac-
ters, all played as badly as they gene
rally are. we have only to consider the
three elements OF the piece--the lovers the
fairies and the hard handed men OF Athens. Lysan-
der was represented by Mr.. ID. II. Harkins, Deme-
trlus by Mr.. James Taylor, Hernia by Miss Ade-
laide Lennox, and Helena by Miss Nina Varian.
The cast IN this respect was excelent-a bit OF
general praise which may ripen into warm COM
mendaton OF the artistic. The parts are all sight,
and the two young ladies who represented the Athe
MAN maidens are new TO the stage; but Miss Len
noX especially exhibits promise OF strong hlstrionic
ability. The king and queen OF the fairies were
represented respectively by Mrs. Annie Kemp
acu acting and singing of both ladies giving sails
faction. But the Puck OF little May rempeton
was particularly gool-so good, indeed, as to rank
as the best Characterization OF the part ever seen
on the American stage. AS part OF the fairy
spectacle ballet of fifty children was introduced
was novel feature, and produced an ex-
element and merrment the pallet seldom
ELECTS. the great feature OF the fire,
however, was in the players before the Duke. A
stronger cast for this wonderful bit OF absurdty
could not be made. Mr.. George l.. Fox as Bottom
was all his old sell. and more. He was so heartily
received that a delicate blush played on
his cheek, and he was compelled TO
die five times as Pyramus before he
was parted with The Ounce and the prologue OF
Mr.. Hardenbcrg were very good, and commend MIN
to the patrons OF the Opera House as an actor oil
unusual ability. Mr. Leclercq's Thisbe, MIR. Jen-
nings' Wall aud Mr. c. X. FoXs Lion were all ex-
tremely well done. The late hour at which the
acting impossibe but the performance NAV be
characterized in general terms as one OF the most
worthy and artistic seen IN New York Tor many
day, and 1t was heartily enjoyed by the multitnde
who witnessed it, The spectacle was preceded by
the farce ''Thrice Married."

BALTIMORE, August 10, 1873.
The Coroner's jury investigating the cause of the
death OF George Allen, fireman, killed by an acci-
dent on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad. near
Lafayette station in this city, on the afternoon Of
the 18th instant rendered verdict that Allen came
to his death by q collision of passenger trains The
Jury also found, from the evidence Of employees OF
the company, that the accident might have
been averted had either engineer 90
served the caution which common prudence
and due regard for the safety OF the passengers
would seem to have dictated; that IN placing the
hours behind time, and alter 1t had been aban-
doned, evidences an absence Of proper supervision.
The jury therefore, censure the engineers for nom
observance OF caution, the conductor OF the north
bound train for not exercising closer supervision,
and the management OF the road for failure In this
particular instance to Issue requisite instructions
IN reference to the delayed express train.
