ACADEMY OF MUsiC.-Of course exits
benefit was what everybody expected j,
would be, that is, a perfect success The
house was literally filled to overlooking, and
a noticeable feature Of the occasion was the
very large number of ladies who adorned
the dress-circle, and formed a perfect dia
dem of fashion and elite. The opening
piece "Aunt Charlottes Maid," was m
dOubtedly one of the most amusing come
diettas put on the boards this season, and to
the performers, Misses Annie Mack, McClel-
Ian and LeBrun, and Messrs. Honeywood
Bryan and ROBBIE, much credit is due for the
successful manner in which they rendered
their respective parts. There was certain
eptyuin about the performance truly crafty
ing.
In the nterlude the De Angels children
won new laurels for themselves. CaptOla,
the closing play, with Miss Harrison in the
title role came off with usual success. This
young lady with her charming repertoire OF
songs and natural stage action, never fails
to carry her audience by storm. ....
Mr.. X. c. White as Black Donald the Ont
law, more than fulfilled all the dramatic re-
guirements Of his part. There are few OF
our play goers but tender to this gentleman
their sincere and heartfelt thanks for the
pains and care he has taken, under every
circumstance, to respond to the necessities
of his role, and to give pleasure to his ardi
ence.

GRUNEwALD HALL.-The concert given
here last evening, for the benefit OF st. Au
edstine's Church, must certainly have proved
a success in pecnniary point of view .judg-
ing from the very large attendance; as "a
musical entertainment it was assuredly
pleasant treat to the lovers Of music.
Limited space forbids our parricularizing !;
but still we cannot refrain from mentioning
in general terms of praise, the performances
Of Mrs. Mercier-Ber, Miss Leblanc, and
Messrs. D'Aquin. Joubert and Van Hutflcn.
A BROKEN HEART.-N1rs. Sallie A. White,
wife of Capt. J. 4. White, the celebrated
horse thief, died at the residence of her
mother, near Germantown, Wednesday night,
of broken heart. Mrs. White, it will be
remembered, rescued her husband from jail
last winter with dash and true wife hero
ism that won for him the sympathy of all
chivarous gentlemen, by handing him a
revolver when she was permitted to visit
him. Mrs. White was a hgh-spirited we.
man, refined and cultivated, and Of good
family. The disgrace of her husband being
arrested and confined as a hOrse-thief
wrought upon the finer feelings of her ma
ture to such an extent that the Overstrained
spirit refused to bear it's burden, and took
its flight to another and better sphere.
While her husband may DO guilty of the
crimes charged against him, his wife was in
nOcent, and the manner in which she res.
cued him her culture, elegance and good
standing have enlisted in her behalf the
sympathy Of all who knew her; and her
sudden death from the causes which led to
it, render this sympathy still greater, and
indicate clearly that, while she was a true
wife, ready to succOur her husband under
any circumstances, she was also truly hon
orable woman, who could not "sutfer the |
stings and arrows of outrageous fortune"
nor bear the disgrace attached to blasted 4

We cannot wonder at Sir Lambton Lor-
raines hot haste to get away from America |
One day with the New York authorities was
enough for half dozen Lorraines. They put
him on board boat, took him to the School
ship (speech), to the Soldiers Nursery build
ings on RandalI's Island (speech), to the
Penitentiary on BackwelPs Island (speech),
and then to dinner, with regular set
speech. In addition to these, it was in
tended to infct with him the Inebriate Asy-
lum and the Soldiers Home, but they could
not conveniently crowd those additional
bores into the hours of daylight. Nearly
the whole affair, as conducted, was in bad
taste, and is worthy of notice only i'm con
nection with the remarks made by the gal
liant officer at the dinner table. He said
"What he had done at Santiago de Cuba
was what any man of humanity would have
done. He took occasion to correct what he
said was an error into which some Of the
newspapers had fallen in respect to that
natter. In the first place, his presence
there was merely a matter of accident, or
" as due to the Commodore commanding the t
Jamaica division. In the next place, it had !
been SAID that he had threatened to lombard {
the town. That was a mistake No such !
threat had been made, although there may ,,
nave been intentions OF q kindred nature a.
fe also acknowledged the readiness of the il
spanish Government, through Senior Caste r
ar, to remedy the evils complained Of, and =
aid that all the difficulty had arisen by rea- ,
on of certain officer, whom he would not .
'ame, disregarding their legitimate remon- p
traces, and the orders of his own Govern u
nent." 9
After dinner, the party, we are told look t

Some days ago mention was made in dis a,
atches from Paris of probable difficulty h
etween the Suez Canal Company and the te
lhedive Of Egypt. The Company proposes =
0 collect tonnage dues without regard for "a
he decision of an International Commission al
the contrary-a proceeding which has r
the khedives ire. Apropos of =
ne dispute, the following facts and figures Ii
re published: In 1870, 49l ships of 436.6lS ii
,ns passed through; in 1871, 765 ships of ne
bout one million tons, and in 1872, 1882 /,

The tolls have been, and we presume are IT
ow, ten francs per ton register, and ten M nj
ancs per head for passengers, which have in
lelded an income of about f100O per day.
