An Evening OF Ilaiiam opera.
"If. TBovAroRE," Last EVENING, BY THE PHIL
I,IpP3 TROUPE.

"n TBovAroRE," Last EVENING, BY THE PHIL
LtPPs TROUPE.
We had new list Of musical and dramatic eI-
periences in our city with last evenings per-
formance We have had Parepa, Miss Kellogg,
the seguns, and others, in English. Opera, but
our first in Italian was presented by Miss Phil
lipps and her excellent company, last night.
There was not a full house, we are panied to ad-
nit, but nevertheless what we may call large
audience Moreover, it was intelligent, appre-
cative, and responsive. The gems OF the eve
ming were enjoyed and applauded, and the cur
tain fell amid general expressions Of pleasure.
The role of Azucena as performed by Miss
rhillipps IL regarded not only as one Of the fin
est in her own repertoire, but AZ something rare
ly il ever equalled OIL the lyric stage. Her rare
and wonderful contralto voice fits the music, and
her acting ia full of fne dramatic spirit. Tue
other members OF the troupe filled their parts
with credit Signor Tagliapietri, the Count of
tue opera, bore off the honOrs, next after Miss
phillipps with magnificent baritone voice,
fine presence, handsome features, and good act
irg. MISS Colville, the soprano, represented
Leoaora, and Sgnor Buganini portrayed her un-
fortunate lover, successfully il not brilliantly.
The latter's voice is not 30 soft and sweet ten
OF as that OF Mr.. Clark who lately visited us,
though it is powerful and well trained.
Altogether, the performance deserves our
warm praise. 1t was gratifying, certainly, to the
auditors who were present last evening, and they
will join us in saying that Miss Phillips is cer
tanly entitled to great deal of credit for the
efforts made by her to provide high order OF
operate entertainment for the American public.
As WAS stated yesterday, the engagement for
this evening i5 withdrawn.

threw stove over at his wife, but she lodged

in an hour more intoxicated than before.
In his absence his wife had also drank
some liquor. The quarrel was renewed, and
Mrs. Costello was heard by the neighbors to ex-
claim, "Put that lamp down." and then there
was dull blow, a sound OF breaking glass, a
scream, and Mrs. Costello rushed into the street
a mass Of flames. Her husband had thrown the
burning lamp at her, and the contents had scat
tered over her clothes. Before any person dared
approach the woman her garments lhad burned

Commercial Fertilizer NIanufactur-
erSs

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION TO BE FoRMED-oBIEcTs IN
VIEW.
A call has been issued by several of the prom
inent manufacturers of CONNER ,ial fertilizers in
the United States for a convention to form a
National Association. Walton, Whann Co.,
of this city, are signers of the call The objects
to be reached are thus set forth in the note OF
invitation to the convention
1t has long been apparent that the interests
of manufacturers of fertilizers are suffering for
want of some concert of action in regard to
terms of sale, &c. This has never been more
evident than at this time. After consulting some
twelve or fifteen of the manufacturers, we deem
it judicious to call meeting OF the manufac-
turers of commercial fertilizers to meet
at Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, on
Thursday, November Is, at twelve O'Clock
noon, for the purpose of comparing
views upon various matters of interest, pertain
ing to the sale and distribution of goods, with
no idea of forming any combination binding up
ON any one but simply to compare views, and
ascertain il it is not practicable to bring about
some changes that will be Of general advantage
and possibly to form permanent organization
of manufacturers. In order to reap immediate
advantage from this meeting it il important
that every manufacturer doing business with
the South should be present and represented.
You are cordially invited to be present.
The indications are, says the Baltimore Amer
ican that many of the leading manufacturers or
their representatives from various States of the
Union will be present, and that several millions
of capital will be represented.

Special Dispatch to the Bato. An,erican.
WAsHINaroN, Nov. 15--There is the best
ground for the statement that in accordance
with the present designs Postmaster General
Jewell will retire from the Cabinet after the
Christmas holidays, and be succeeded by the
present United States Treasurer, John New, OF
Indiana. This change is the result Of an ar
rangement effected between the President and
Senator Morton during recent visit Of the lat
ter to the CITY, The combination to effect jew
ellis removal also finds strong alyin the friends
Of Postmaster Burt, OF Boston. This officer
and his friends allege that MIR. Jewell dismissed
him in accordance with the expressed view Of
the President. 1t is claimed that such WAS not
the fact, bnt that Mr.. Jewell notified that officer
Of his dismissal OH his own responsibility, and
that when the attention of the President was in
vited to the letter of dismissal he dsavowed any
connection with it and restored Mr. Burt to his
Office. The published statements that Mr.. New
is compelled to resign his present Office to at
tend to the affairs OF his bank in Indianapolis is
blind, and given out merely as a preliminary
event to his transfer to the portfolio of the

WASHINGTON, November 15.-Considerable
feeling has been aroused among Democratic
politicians by rumor that has gained credence
that the ex- x-Confederates elected to the next
House have organized with view to assuming
control of the organization. The movement is
said to haye originated in Texas, and the pro-
gramme seems to be to elect a Northern man
Speaker, and give the other offices, such as
clerk, sergeant alarms and door keeper, to
Southern men. Alarm is occasioned by the fear
that the ex Confederates will attempt to con-
