ing Of the 23d inst. the noise made being a sort of
accessory TO a game of dsticuGs paItaken in origin
ally by two persons. but on account of unsatisfac-
tory decision of the referee resulted in a general
melee. a whistle assumed the shape of a revolver
in the extravagant Imagination Of one of the spec
tators. and the carrier OF the deadly weapon was
compelled to pass over to the Police Judge the
sum of ten dollars for his dereliction from the
laws of the land. The other parties connected
with the affair concluded that the bail money de-
posted was not worth returning for, and deeming
8 discretion the better part OF vaior," forfeited the
amounts. 4 court mandate compelled their ap-
pearance after the bail had been forfeited, and an
additional assessment was levied upon their lucre,
which was given somewhat reluctantly. 1t is pre-
sumable that another meeting of the dissatisfied
contestants will be had at an early day, and if
such a case should occur a full report will be given
of the proceedings.

an improvement over that given on former occa-
sions. and the Lord High Admiral condescended to
give one more verse of the localised song. Miss
Ingles performed Buttercup well. and assisted
others Of the cast in recovering lost lines. Mr..
Bradley and Mr.. Morton as Dick Deadeye. and
Ralph Rackstraw, played well their parts. Miss
Nelson as Josephine. sang well. and Miss Ida Wal
ton as Hebe afforded amusement. The Captain
seems to speak his words trippingly on the tongue,
too much so in fact, as the repetitions are unpleas-
ant. Pinafore - matinee this afternoon. and
