Thu I'iiui PajreouwxM-k <>» L Ariucsixx. —The oral peiformaucu in tlii* country of Meyerbeer's last work, tbe opera of L'Atri raioe, which has becu awaited tbe musi cal world with an almost feverish excitement, was given at tbe New York Academy of Music on Friday, tbe Ist insl. Tbe critics were so overwhelmed by the splendor and entile newness of tbe opera as to be unable to say much about it tbe next morning. One Bays: , ‘ ' “ So far we can say tbat tbe music seemed to surprise everybody, not because of its dramatic character, but because of its abun dance of melody—melody of a familiar and graceful kind, and yet full of passion and earnestness. Many cf the subjects could be carried away by tbe ear, did not tbe leDgth of the opera forbid their repetition according to tbe scene. These elisions may be neces saiy, but they materially retard tbe populai ity of tbe work, for tbe reason tbat what the composer iuleudcd to impress upon tbe memory is beard too lugitively to effect the desired end. Tbe fourth act is simply won derful for its beauty; tbe melodies are over flowing witli intense passion, aud tbe action of ihe music is grand in its variety, rapidity and force, it requires a chapter to describe its exquisite beauty. Tbe liftb act is a tilting close to this remarkable opera.” Cotton. —Tbe steamship Western Metropo lis arrived from Apalachicola, Florida, in New York, on Friday last, bringing threo thousand bales of cotton, the largest cargo ever takeu froin tbat port in a steam vessel. There have so lar been shipped from Apala chicola about thirty-six thousand bales of cotton, aDd there were ten thousand bales on baud there on tbe 15th. There are some forty thousand bales still up tbe Apalachi cola River, which will come down while the depth of water permits, making in all over eighty thousand bales tbat will be shipped thence this season. Tbe slock of cotton on hand and on ship board at New Orleans November 15, amounl • ed to 124,825 bales. The steamer Gambria sailed from New Orleans lor Liverpool, November 24, with 1,200 bales of cotton on board. A number of plantations have recently been purchased in the vicinity of Augusta, Ga., by parties from tbe North. A Mississippi newspaper states that of tbe 80,000 bales ot cotton collected by the Gov ernmentAgents,but 6,000 have been account ed for, and says tbe stealing mania is ram pant. In accordance with a law just passed by the Mississippi Legislature, tbe State Tax Collector at Vicksburg has given notice that a tax of two dollars will be collected on each bale shipped trom tbere. Jf Abrest or a Theatrical Agbnt for Frightening People by an Advertisement. —Albert C. Cassidy, tbe agent of Lucille Western, who is now performing in Phila delphia, a lew days smee caused to be posted on the street corners a placard in reference to a “Child Stealer" from Europe, described as about 24 yeats of age, a dangerous person, and a perfect adept at her frightful trade. The placard caused great excitement among certain classes of people who were unsophis ticated enough to believe that it was a genu ine caution. It turned out to be nothing more or less than a “flyer" to create public interest in a uew sensational play called “Atonement or the Child Stealer,” which was produced at the Chesnut street Theatre Thursday evening. The indictment upon which Mr. Cassidy was arrested and held for trial, charged him with “wantonly and ma liciously” “uttering and publishing” the said placard, with intent to alarm and annoy good citizens of the city of Philadelphia and of the Commonwealth. The indictment sets forth the misdemeanor at leDgth, with all possible legal verbiage. The Dead Roll. —Official reports about to be presented to Congress show that the num ber ot white soldiers that have died in Wash ington, D. C., from August 1, 1861, to Nov ember 29, 1865, is 15,412, and the number of colored soldiers is 6,328.
