Music HALL.-The sparkling burlesque at
Music Hall continues to draw full houses. The
piece runs smoothly now and last night it was
listened to by really appreciative AUDIENCE
circumstance which the actors were quick to
see.
The olio previous to the burlesque is deserv-
ing of attention, for the part in it played by
Miss st. Johns royal voice. This remarkable
singer. better by far than some who made an
appearance in City Hall last winter with
great blare of trumpets, deserves to be greeted
by crowded houses each evening of her stay
here. 1t is but seldom that we hear her equal.
The burlesque will be taken off after tonight
and variety bill substituted, which will give
Miss satterlee chance to display her talents
in new role. --

IMPORTANT LAw-SUIT.-Yesterday afternoon
Judge Virgin opened hearing on bill in
equity brought by John Winsow Jones and
other-, of the canned goods manufacturers, to
place an injunction upon Frederick Fox, adj
ministrator of the estate of the late Samuel
Rumery, restraining him from disposing of the
interest Mr.. Rumery held in the green corn
patents of Mr. Jones at the time of his (Mr.
Rumery's) decease. The petitioners claim that
by an agreement entered into by all of them
no one could sell his interest except by the con-
currence of all the others. On the other hand
the administrator claims that the agreement
was null and void at the time of Rumery' s
DEATH and that the duties of an administrator
compel him to administer upon the property to
the best of his ability, and that he had received
better offers fJr the interest of Mr.. Rumery
than the petitioners were willing to make
Mattocks & Fox and Butler 81 Libby ap-
peared for the petitioners, and Hon. Nathan
Webb assisted Mr.. Fox.
The hearing was adjourned until Friday

STEAMER TRIAL.-A partial trial was made
in our harbor yesterday with the tug boat Hunt
er, having DIR. Chase's new method of propul-
sion by air attached, and the result has met the
most sanguine expectations of the inventor
and those interested. The invention was main
ly intended for canal navigation, where great
power is required with but slow speed. The
demonstration of yesterday, however, showed
not only ample power but very considerable
speed for such model
The Hunter was originally canal boat, and
was altered over into tug boat with screw
propeller. The screw has now been taken out
and some changes made in the hull to adapt
her to the new power, the same boiler being
used as before. She is now to be taken into
the dry dock to have the backing valve attach
ed, after which a complete trial will be made,
when full particulars of the invention will be
