THE THEATRE.

Rose Eytinge in "Felicia'-A Splendid
Performance and Delighted Au-
dieHSe.
We have seid0ia seen such an audience
as greeted Rose Eytinse aHd Der splendid
company in the performance of August
Delpit's adaptation, the beautiful drama
of ''felicia," last evening.
The Theatre was filled in all its parts
by the lovers of the drama, Casting our
eyes over the audience, our gaze rested on
many Of the old theatrical critics, and,
from their looks we could see that the en-
gagement OF this first class company was
a perfect success. In all its appoint
ments. the stage fittings. the dresses and
the artistic effects and nice arrangement
which please the eye and taste were adj
mirably conceived.
The plot of the play, while simple and
truly PaFisiag IN its elemental qualities,
was fall Of nice developments of deep
feeling and ennObling sentiment, and
abOunded in touching varieties of the
absorbing passions Of love and hate, ten
derness and willful perversiOn Of noble
nature.
The features of the plot were unpleas-
ant. Felicia is an eX-actress and a demi
yllOndqme striving, with the force of a re-
pentant mind, TO liye down the guilt of
her Younger years. Her illegiiiE1ate son,
Cant, John, is about to contract an hopeF-
able and happy marriage, when the story
of his Iaoiher's shame is wills
pered into his ears by a rival,
and with awful suddennesS, TO cloud
the bliss of the young officer and 10 tear
him from his chosen bride, he has been
brought up in entire Ignorance of the
stain upon his birth, and is fated &c hear
Il from his mothers own lips, as the eX-
piSaafiOn of the rupture OF the marriage
engagement.
of course Miss Eytinge was the centre
piece in the exqUisitely arranged dramati-
cation. and she proved Herself a thorough
and gifted actress OF wondreass pOwer.
Every pose and gesture and word Was 6
picture. Especially in the third act, when,
BY the force of the circumstances sur
rounding her, see is compelled TO face her
son of her own dishonOr and humilia-
tieH, the picture Of her HSmorse and
despair was a splendid effort of dramatic
genius. The company as whole is a tlne
one. without q duiiaFd Ia ii TO mar IFS

performed their parts TO the satisfaction

Upon reference to the ledger account find
charged to new coupons THAT is to say the 5
per cent. interest on new bonds, which Is
payable quarterly the sum of $6l7 1858 IS,
which inQAudeS 10 December 81, 1882. Upon my
request the late Finance Committee counted
the new coupons in Iulk, witch were held by
the City Treasurer as voucher, the result of
said count being S602,745 50. In order that
full Justice might be accorded interested par
ties, a count has been made by the Finance
Committee of the present hoard, the result
being slightly in favor OF the City Treasurer,
but practically verifying the first count. The
result of the second count was $6o3, 1855 rs,
which Being deducted from the amount
charged against new coupons shows dis
crepancy of $l4,507 50.
An estimate approximating the amount,
which would, IN ali reasonable probability have
been paid out for interest, confirms the count OF
the coupons beyond all reasonable doubt, and
which would at once do away with the con-
clasion that any Of the coupons had been lost
or mislaid.
The cash balance as shown by the book
(cash), on January LIST, 1883, at the commence
ment Of business, has not been verified by me,
