IS, 186( [Pram flw Rotten Commercial.] A Humoroaa Description of the " filaok. Crook.” We are indebted to our valued cor respondent “ idnratter 1 * Tor the folfcrir ing description at the scenic tpeetaclc of the “ Black Crook,” as it appeared to him upon the occasion of a recant visit • o witness ita representation: I thought it waa doing the “ square” thing to see Philadelphia. I have for saken my crooked wajs since I left Bos ton. Speaking of crooks, I’ve seen the Black Crook, and, with the exception of the elbow crook, it is the most popular crook in New,York. It is advertised in the New York Herald editorial columns, and by min isters at the Cooper Institute. Yon, in the innocence of yonr Puri tanical Boston heart, suppose the Black Crook to be a shepherd’s crook of that color ; nothing of the sort—it's a dark coraplexioned sorcerer, with an affliction similar to the same blessing enjoyed by Richard No. 111. The Black Crook is played at Niblo’s, so-called because it’s kept by Wallack. Price of reserved seats one dollar and fifty cents. All the seats (hat you cau see from, and several that you cannot, are “ re served.” All the good seats are sold in advance —principally to speculators and hotels, who re-sell, consequently the real price to see “ the crook” is two dollars and upwards. The “bare” mention of the crook has attracted crowds—it is principally a leg-end-ary dramn, although there is more seen of the ballet troupe than ever before in another piece. The revelatious are startling. The success of the Crook has been detrimen tal to other places of amusement. The Anatomical Museum ami model artistes are losing many of their best custom ers. A petition is in preparation among the medical fraternity to have the name of Niblo’s changed to the New York Academy of Anatomy. But to the play. It was announced to commence at halt-past seven, P. M. The performance commenced by music from the orchestra, enlivened by frantic rushes of ushers and different groups ot spectators to different parts of the house, interspersed with growls from dissatisfied rustics who could u t get any seats below stairs. I had a ‘‘reserved seat,” and so kept cool amid the excitement. My seat was the extreme rear one on the outer edge ot the auditorium and partially occupied by an iron post —it "Was also situated equidistant between three open doors and two open windows. I maintained my coolness throughout the whole of the exciting performance. At twenty minutes to eight a stam pede of outsiders with camp stools, took place, to vacant spaces about the par. quet. A lew smashed bonnets and black eyes, caused by the carelessness ol the stool holders, added to the liveliness ot the scene. At quarter to eight the cur tain drew up, and my attention was agreeably occupied, the uext quarter of an hour, by such occasional glimpses of the scene as were not interrupted by the arrival of people who were late. The first scene revealed a village at the foot of the Hartz Mountains, quite a densely populated village, judging from the number of inhabitants who appeared. Os course there was a peasant s dance and various other dances, in which the costume ot the Hartz mountaineers, could be studied to advantage. Hartz is evidently a corruption of Hot*, judging from the style of apparel of the female inhabitants, which con sists chiefly of one pair of thin lace drawers and six inches of pink silk skirt. The noble young man who is always in such plays, and dares to love the virtuous joung maidens, is in this one, and is torn from her by the Count of that destrid, and sent by him, in charge of two old style Bowery theatre villains to the lowest dungeon iu the castle moat, in heavy tragedy style (music, big fiddle and bassoon-0, and the vir tuous young maiden aforesaid, led off iu triumph by the Count. Scene uoxt, laboratory of the Black Crook, a melo-dramatic sorceror, bent nearly double, and with a bluish-purple face—comic servant in this scene, of course. Scene next, the Black Crook iu a wild mountain pass, where, after con sultation with a fat skeleton, ho con cludes to raise the ■ Hu does raise his Satanic majesty generally, besides ghosts, with towels on their heads, pyro technic horse and rider, and a short demon, about 28 inches in height. Crook signs bis sonl away, which, unless straighter than his body, is a hard trade on hi* sulphurous majesty—blue fire— white fire —red fire—calcium lights— trap doors —violins tremolo—kettle drums pianissimo—trumpets fortissimo —curtain. End of First Act— Squad drill of sections of the New York Hum Brigade.

End of Third Act —Special drill of fire proof members of N. Y. R. Brigade -usual evolutions. Fourth Act— Some little melo dra matic scenes and dialogue, reminding the audience of a play. The Black Crook called for according to contract, and leaves in a red-hot blaze for regions noted for the brilianvy of their pyro technics, the extreme concentration of their caloric, and the abundance of their sulphur deposits. Grand Mnal Scene —“ Palace of Dew Drops”—fairies on revolving pedestals— naiads swimming in blue gauze—uymps floating iu the air—giilj bursting out of gold clouds—spirits rising from gold waves—curs—pillars—columns—clouds— gold— silver—crimsou- -calcium lights— fairies vieing in rivalry to outstrip each other—nymphs in short clothes—silver and gold tissue in sheets—mermaids in full costume of a coral necklace and green gauze scarf—sea monsters —glitr- ter—glare—music—machinery—limbs —gauze —busts—spangles —-eyes —lace —necks—gold atid silver tissue—ballet positions—mechanical surprises—more fairies—more changes—more everything —curtain. The above full and lucid description gives you a fair idea of one’s rfrst im pression of the Black Crook. It's a big thing. Things are done on a grand scale here always, whether it’s distilling whiskey or electing members of Congress. You are a slow people in Boston. We do as we please here. Wait’till pur Hon.
