As a happjtprelode to this titoce. a hand some steel engraving, of 4ho peerless Christian hero, around which loving fingers had twined fresh garlands, was brought on the stage, and placed in full view of the audience; to many of whom his care touched brow, wore a familiar look. Much as the musical part of the programme was enjoyed, well, artistically, and we might say al most faultlessly carried out and ex ecuted; yet every one looked forward to the roaring farce, of “Slasher and Crasher,” that was to clos.e the enter tainment. At the cast of characters in this laughable farce,had been left blank, every one was on the qui vice to know who was taking off the various parts. We have never seen apiece produced by amateurs better. Some of the par ties would have reflected credit on themselves, upon any boards. We will not be so ungallant, as to fail to notice Misses Diuah and Rosa Blowhard. Miss Rosa was the modest, demure, yet loving thing, that doated on the fas cinating Crasher, through evil as well as good report; whilst Miss Diuah in tent on a husband, kept sleadity in view,, thp •deyotod Slasher who was finally led to the altar (we presume from the finale) by this gentle female, with the benediction of old Blowhard, Bless you my children.” The pieeo was a perfect success, and kept the audieuce convulsed with laughter throughout its rendition. To the ladies*who conceived the affair, and worked it out to a successful ter mination, are due great credit; and it is a matter of regret that the weather w^aTnot mfge propitious, If such haft been the rase, we. are asssured thaV the hall would have been filled to its utmost capacity.

Whether trilling the notes of an opera, giving- the delicate touch of the artist to the ivory keys, or as the rapturous and sanguine Slasher, he was alike au fait At tho conclusion of the farce, it was announced that all those who were fond of tripping the light fantas tic, would have an opportunity of do’ ingso. The hall was soon clcarcd.when under the inspiring influence of the excellent music of the Moore Bro’s, nimble feet were soon in motion, gal- lant forms, gentlr .nqgportjogj bgelv maidens, went whirling away to the bewitching strains of a waltz; and “all went merry as a marriage bell.” We understand the net proceeds of t^e Concert footed up zometbing over sixty-.dollars.

For depth of thought, Bulwer stands, perhaps, unj rivaled, in the loug list of English novelists, while his delineation of char acter is as graphic as that of Sir Wal- tcwflCotfj. and at the same time all*his ideas-are draped in the most beautiful verbiage. In “Leila,” the great au thor does not di-appoiul us. Tin 1 scene is laid in the troublous times wficn Ferdinand aud Isabella dcavoriug to free spain from the pres ence of the Moors, and is full of thrill ing scenes aud ph asing romances.— The pure honesty of the heroine l.ei la, stands forth in beautiful contrast with the dark glootny spirit of her fa ther Alraamcn, the Jew, while the gentle Christianity ol Queen Isabella rebukes the stein bigotry of the inquis itor Torqueniada. The interest well sustained to the end, and while we mourn over Ihe tragical death of the lovely heroine, wc bigh with regret to think that the hand that penned the book, is cold in denili. The moral re futes the idea that mau’s conscience is a sufficient guide to him; and to one who wishes to sec ure a readable, in structive book, and to be posted in the best of the light literature cf the da v. copy, of this beautiful tale is indispen sable.
