The Opera Last Might" Pirates of PEN
Eance"-Leetures 10 Come Or

| FIotows charming opera of Martha u
| was presented last night at the National Theatre
| by the Emma Abbott English Opera Company, TO
| an audience about the same in numbers on the
previous night. This opera has been go frequently
sung here, both by professional troupes and by our
| amateur organizations, that every note nearly is
known to our musical public, and so, perhaps, any
Liberties that are taken with the score are more
quickly perceived than would be the case in
regard to other operas, and the omissions
last night were regretted. The hero Of
the evening was SignOr Brignoli, who
sang Lionel nearly effectively the writer heard
him sing the same role over twenty years ago.
with Madame Pauline Colson as Lady Henrietta
Madame Patti Strakosch as Nancy, and Carl Fornes
as PaRkd Brignol sang in Italian, and the effect,
both in the dialogue and in the concerted music,
was rather amusing. His voice showed little wear,
and his rendition of the beautiful solo, II appari
TUT amor" elected most enthusiastic encore.
The recall at the close of the fourth act proba
bly, due more TO his solo than to the chorus which
followed, though the latter was fairly rendered
Miss Abbotts Martha gained for her an emphatic
encore for her singing of the Last Rose of Sum-
mer," and the principals were all brought before
ecurtain after the Good night quartette, which,
as the opera was arranged last night, closed the
third act.
This afternoon Paul and Virginia" will be pre-
scented, and the management have adopted popu-
lar prices so that all may have an opportunity TO
see this popular opera. Tonight Signor Brignol
will receive benefit, and will sustain his greatest
role Of Ednrieo Mile D'Arona will make her first
appearance in this city in the part of Asueend.
Miss Abbott will not sing again until tomorrow
night, when she will sustain her favorite charac-
ter OF Jntiet, in Romeo and Juliet"
The matinee yesterday was chiefly notable for the
excellent impersonation of Gaspard by Mr. Henry
Peakes which was dramatic picture of great
force and power. Mr.. Castles Marquis was also
well rendered.
Two performances of" Edgewood Folks were
given at Ford's Opera House yesterday, and the
audiences expressed their delight at the inimitsble
comicalities of Mr.. Sol Smith Russell by the most
emphatic applause and continuous laughter. There
will be a matinee this afternoon, and the usual

The Veterans Decline to March Under
the Esarslialshtp of an Ex-Confed.
The National Veteran Club held their
regular meeting at their rooms last evening, at
which there was an unusually large attendance of
members Captain J. g. Tanner first vice president,
presided, and Mr.. W. Oscar Roome acted as secre-
tary. committee of three was appointed TO draft
a suitable resolution expressive of the feelings of
the club in relation TO the appointment of an ex-
rebel TO command IN the inaugural procession.
The committee subsequently reported the follow
ing, which was unanimously adopted:
ResoIued, That the National Veteran Corps pro-
tests against the assignment of called major
general, late of the rebel armies and now Door
keeper of the House Of Representatives to the
command Of one of the four grand divisions of the
inaugural procession, and rec0nsiderS its accept
snce of the invitation to parade on the 4th of
March.
Colurade Henry Barton requested permission to
lean the flag ofthe club to Columbia Commandery
No. ?, X T., for their use OF the 18th Of March
ComTade Clark objected, on the ground that if
the club would not follow in the procession under
a rebel leader the flag of the club should not CO.
Comrade Browne stated that he also represented
the commandery, and that the commandcry would
not be under the rebel, Fields, but under General
Ayers, on the right of the line. That neither the
flag nor the commandery would. under any circum-
stances, parade under a rebel officer.
ComTade Dunning considered the inaugural
parade, as arranged, the most open and damnable
insult to every loyal man, by placing an unrecon-
structed rebel in command and that the presence
of such Imam tainted the whole Jine. For that
reason he was opposed to the flag of the club being
carried i'll any part Of the procession.
Considerable discussion Of the same sort fol-
lowed, and finally a vote was reached, and it was
decided to grant the commandery the use of the
flag, provided it should not go under any rebel
command.
