They had done "Beauty and the Beast" In their tuoil style, winning great applause, and were about to present "La Bonnambuhv' but mas SaUle and Miss Julia did all their night walking In the dlreotlon of Indianapolis, -where the company are now performing with fair suooess, and soon go to St. Louis for Alf. Burnett, although the gifted Mrs, Solmaa) has scarcely recovered from the fright of .their late visit -to Cincinnati. The comicalities of Master Benjamin, and the drumming of Starter Alfred were drowned In the "long roll" of -the Dutch drummers and defenders of Cincinnati. The new .company Intended to open at Pike's, headed by .Bobert Jones, Are not yet ready "either to fight or to dig trenches."- Frightful 'and funny, thus far. Hope it is no worse. Pittsburgh, like Cincinnati, has had its "elements" of amuse- jurat ao mixed up by recent war rumors, that we hardly know bow to "sort'em out," and may as well let one of our com- spondents, "4pw and Then," give a general idea of. the way theatres, olrousee, rope performers, and so forth., have lately been conglomerated as if all in one "lot" of .".varieties," melted 'down with pig iron and Bmoke. He writes-oh the 11th that Thayer, Noyes & Oo.'s United' States Circus showed in this city Thursday, Friday, .and Saturday, of last week, and did an Im- mense business. They'pitched their teuton the "Varieties" lot, and the consequence was the latter Institution gave perform- ances to empty : benches. The new manager of the Varieties saw In advance what the effect would be in case the circus came «o near him, end he calculated that his salvation would be in the strengthening of. hla company, which was done, but to ho pur- pose, as the people argued that the "ten-cent Variety shop" would be here all the time, while the olrous might not revisit our town for six months to come. The theatre, was rather .more fortunate in perparing for the flnanolaTstbrm, by making an arrangement with Mr. W. H. Donaldson!'the rope walker. This gentleman walked a rope stretohed from the dome of the theatre to a building opposite- on three afternoons while Jhe oircns remained, and did wire walking and pantomime business each evening during the week. The effect of this out side free show was very satisfactory to the theatre .manage- ment, as it diverted attention from the circus, and ensured fab? houses at the "Old Drury" during the. entire week. Mr. Donaldson is & very daring rope walker. He seems to be en- tirely free from fear, and performs some perilous trapeze feats. He left here for Zanesville*0., where he remains two days, and -then goes to Cleveland, Hla pantomime performances are very -clever. Since Monday, the theatre has been running its new stock, to good houses. Last evening, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was ' revived, add will be repeated to-night, after which time it will be withdrawn to make way for Miss Amy Frost*s benefit, which takes place to-morrow evening. Amy is considerable at a favorite. On the 16th, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Davenport commence A (tar engagement, or rather, the management has arrangements with them to that effect I hear It whispered, "however, that tuey would rather now postpone the tune, on account of the present war excitement. This seems to strike me as rather a poor excuse to offer at this late day, when they have been announced. However, I might have been misinformed, and sincerely hope I have, as our citizens will be sorely disappointed should they not make their appearance at-the appointed .tune. There la no city in the Union where the acting of a good star Is more appreciated than Pittsburgh. Hence, should Mr. D. not come at the proper time, and leave the management In an unprepared state for the ■coming week, it may be a sad movement for the treasury. The theatre undoubtedly has been doing a splendid business since the npnnlnfl. infl I snc nn rutnnjlir tnti business may not- be kept up, with proper attraction. At the Hollldsy, Baltimore, the "star season" is soon to begin, wo are informed. "Cupid In Baltimore" did not have so long a run as was antlolpated, and "Babes of the Wood," "The Un- enual Match," and pieces of that character have been substi- tuted. MUs Mollle Williams, who was prominently oast in the ■first named pieces, soon Joins Hunkers company. The absence of "the charming Mollle oh" from the Bolllday, will cause no «nd of regret to the JinMfues of that establishment, we opine. ■' "Ked Nutting," writing from Troy, H. T., oh the 18th, says:— L>9t Tuesday, 9th, the Adelphl's "goose hung low," on ac- count of a difficulty between managers Smith and MoDonald. Smith withdrew his interest, and MbDonald,-unable to "play it alone," announced to the house that "he was unhappy to inform them that owing to circumstances over whioh he had no control" he was obliged to "sh'utpan," Mr. and Mrs. F.'B. Conway are still here.

Y.,,(Fhloh has been nnder the same management for thirteen years—no mean recommendation of itself) a very desir- able place to "hold forth in" In the way of minstrel entertain- ment, concerts, lectures, eto. We have the strongest afsuraxfoes from those who know, that the hall la eminently adapted for any or all of. the above purposes, and that WrA.Beynolds, under whose' control it is, Is a very agreeable gentleman, and one whom it is a pleasure to transact business with.. Bee advertise- ment in.thes« columns. ' The Gayoty, in Albany, nnder the guidance of Col. Harry Howard, is also under a good headway of euocess. Among the principal attractions are the imitations of the groupings former- ly given by the Keller Troupe, suoh as "SpagnolsRl's Studio," etc. Therelsimavoldablya"falr8lmreofuieolassh»"required to fully appreciate apmo of these tableaux; but, when well done, as at the Oayety, "all olasses" may enjoy thetarttstlo merit shown by tho mute performers. We can ail understand some great event thus presented, although we. may never have seen the pictorial authorities, such as those ofBaphaeL Bubens, or Oorreglo, nor never been within a thousand muss of the Vatican. Tto CoL also "obeys" the concert saloon bill by having some tidy boys to hand the "beverages" around. ■ We suppose that (following the usual aim of the sex) the girls would'have no. ob- jection to "form a line" and "drese" as boys. WoD, well, colo- nel, go thy ways, go thy ways. If Albany and Troy cannot play a strong band at any game, then we know nothing of roosters. Since the present eeatfhn commenced at the National, Boston, we have had some doubts as to how we should olassify the es- tablishment. . What it is not seems more easy to describe than what it is.' 'One evening last week a new style of zaxopilaerosta- tdon seems to have been Inaugurated. It appears that, about ten o'clook, while the audience seemed very well pleased with the performances and performers duly named on the bill, "an extra was issued" in the form of a man thrown from one of the ?>rlvate boxes on the line of the family circle, and the said form ell like anybody but Gabriel Bavel or J. M. Hernandez. Natu- ral inquiry showed that "the management" were not to blame for this contribution towards the enjoyment of the evening. A couple of German "volunteers," said to belong to, the Cambridge company in the Massachusetts 6th Begt, one nanwd Constantino Eokstaeldt, ohd the other Theobald Alexandra, had volunteered this Joint bouquet, soon recognized as a' special police officer, named George. Thompson, his duty having required him to a peak'to the aforesaid German gentlemen on account of their being decidedly drunk and deliberately noisy. Other police offi- cers happoning to be at hand, the two originators of the disturb- ance were • speedily arrested,'as their style of "throwing over" threw over all the rules of propriety at a place of public amuse- ment, and Boston is not the place for that sort of thing, With- out Joking, however, we -understand that Mr- Thompson-re-, malnefl for some time quite Insensible. " At the Bowery, in St Louis, tunes are tip top.' Their company at present consists as 'follows:—F. Sprung, Nick Foster, 0. Lewis istage manager), Johnny Spencer, Edward Orpen, Sallle Mason, rellTe Clifford, Mdlle. Leonora, and several minor .members. Miss Sophia Walton makes her appearance on the 11th. Miss Clara Butler has arrived, and makes her first appearance on the loth. a-' • ■< " OIRCUBHS. ■ ' Gardner & H©minings' Olrous has come to an end, having closed on the 8th, at Hanover, Fa. The olrous was advertised to show at Hagshtown, Md,, on the 11th, but as the company Was already within eleven miles of the rebels, they thought that was doss enough/so they fell bsok in good order, and terminated the campaign, fetching up at - Philadelphia. 0. W. Parker, con-' torttonlst, eto., is engaged at Edwards' Gaieties, Harrisburg, Mr. Alexander McCord^known in^fdie profestlon as signor Tfighman, acrobat and* ooKortlonlst, was killed In the late bat- tles at Bun Bun. Our Pittsburgh correspondent "Adelphi,'!, now with Sickles' brigade, makes mention of deceased in a letter Which' win be found on one of our outside pages. . Van Ambnrgh'a Mammoth Menagerie opened at ZanesTfUe,' Ohio, on the loth, performing there also on the 11th. Dan Bice's Bhow gave two performances on the SthJnst', at Toronto, 0. W. ~ ..*.■-. B. Sands's Grand Multtserlal Combination and Homohlppo- deal Amphitheatre, met with success in New Haven on the 12th, althongh stormy weather was the order of the^ay. ' Gardner & Hemmlngs made a "seatteriflcatlon" on ."account of the war," after performing twice at Hanover, Pa., on the 8th. A "council of war" was held that night, and on the 9th, a "strat- egic" movement took place "tuther way." .The fact is, after performing at Harrisburg,. where martial law had been pro- claimed, things began to look rather Squally for "ye show folk." They.hed been billed for Gettysburg, Hagerstown, and so on to Wilmington. Of coarse, further progress by that route would have been unwise with an oh a heavy responsibility- Every per- son in the company was paid up to date.^nd then began some "ground and lofty tumbling," on the backward prinoiple. No- body; hurt, so far, we believe, but a very fine company is thus disbanded. The "outsiders," led by Charley Dedigri, are mostly in New-York. Dan Gardner, and nearly all the company, are In or around Philadelphia. Bally again, boys iraoiu>lrasTKBLSY. Christy's Minstrels, in Brooklyn, give the net proceeds of the performance on the 18th for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers at present In the Brooklyn hospitals. By general con- sent, the price of admission is to be raised on that date. All right Arlington k Donnlker's Minstrels gave one half of the net pro- ceeds of their performance on the 9th, at Boohester, N. Y., for the benefit of the Ladles'. Hospital Belief Association In that olty. The amount thus presented was tS8. This company per- formed at Lookport on the 10th, and at Buffalo the'hext thr^ days.' "* TEE'TURP., A GRKAT DAT OR THB BACH TRACK, ' "' EXCITING TBOTTINa BAOB .'. STALLIONS ROBERT FLTJ^QHAH AND ETHAH. ALLENi ' Wednesday, September 10, took the palm—inJUie way of sports q Lthe track—of any of its predecessors of the year 1865, the occa- sion being no less than a great trotting nutoh' for ten thousand/ dollars, between the stallions Bobert Filllhgham and Ethan Al- len. .The sun shone out brilliantly and uninterruptedly from. morn till eve, and the weather was decidedly warm and all but torrid from noon till the third hour, .whioh bpno means onhano- ed the pleasure or comfort of the pedestrian; but gentle breezes' modified matters somewhat and made the Journey andthe Fash- ion track more pleasant than It otherwise would have been: We landed at West Flushing at 115. sound In wind and limb,'a full hour before the time ssnounosd forthe event in hand to com- mence. Tjhls gave us tuna to look around, and take stock of those who were already on the ground.. The first individual that arrested our attention, was a sleek appearing, gam homo that at first glance one would take for a pnbflo benefactor, and from the manner In which he coaxed, nay, insisted that some one should relieve him of various treasury notes, by Just naming ono.of three cards.whloh he constantly shuffled on a board before Mm, that opinion would be still farther fortified. A few paces brought us face to face with one of .those Inevitable accompaniments to a horse race, a "little Joker" proprietor, whtbe tongue ran glibly enough in describing how easy it was to tell under whioh of three small blaok cups said " little Joker" was ensconced. "See, there it Is," said he, "double your money-in no time" bat no one 'saw' it the few moments we remained there, and we passed on. Dice boards, by whioh one might have acquired wealth if they were luoky; lager bier peddlers with the Teutonio beverage right off the Ice (a long way off, and considerably too tonlowe .thought), withered peaches and par-roasted melons; and finally, a little wizened faoed chap with sundry nails In a board and sun- dry rings, eloquently appealed to us to try onrdexterityin pitch- ing, at the rate of " a penny a pop," but we popped off in ano- ther direction. These and similar exhibitions completed the show outside of the arena. After reg-aleing ourselves at the hotel on the corner, and stick- ing the bar maid with the equivalent, we marched boldly to the postem, ponied over the entrance fee, one dollar,' and entered, not for the race, but for the purpose of seeing It and the elephant inside. Immediately in front of. the Judges' stand, the betting fraternity were gathered, <""i"Sin» auoh worthies as John Morrisaey, Harry Genot, Dad Cunningham, Jake Somerindyke, and one or more of our bank tellers. ' Bets were made and taken freely at the rate of two to one on Ffltingham, In sums ranging: from ten dollars to two hundred ; and time bets were made at the same rates on 3:ii and even on 3:31. From this we inferred that telegraphlo speed was expected by the knowing ones, but the result dissipated such expectations. There were several gay lasses inside the iron railing, who were cooling off under the ssssassctasc. . but the effort • and FilUaghani-a aecompllehodV-v rfo&^b^^H-wa^ti iuoed, again.

"We do not Intend to give umbrage, but we must say that the "large number of ladles" the dally papers re- ferred to, we didn't see. To us, they were decidedly eclipsed by that Bmoke, .eto. "'While scanning, that proportions of these 'sprightly Eves, from 'our' seat which'we had secured immedi- ately opposite the "Judiciary Pulpit," our attention was called to the swaying to and fro of a crowd round and about several of our prominent hotel stages,when we,discovered that "thefives" were being manipulated at a lively gait by two irate Individuals, one in "soger close," and tother almost without any. By his height, weight and lnohes, we thought the former was John Grlndell, but the ctuui bdl< We.could not discover, but think that a hack driver talked "sassy'' to John, and hence, John used the language of force,-and.pfcgalled agilnst his' adversary. Five minutes finished the fray, ■B soon after, or at about >:M?.lt, the bell rang;, the track wS ordered' to be cleared, the crowd forced back, and much eicltement,iras. created by Ethan being lar&ded in company with a running horse. Ethan, a noble look- ng equine, was "not pretty well to-day," we thought, and so thought the speculators, who at once yelled out all sorts of odds against him, and when FUlingham, with an easy gait, and grace- ful movement, was pooled past, the quotations were 100 to 10 on the latter. From Ethan's reputation in getting an advantage at the start, however, Genet and others offered to bet a hundred- even that he won the first quarter, and ditto .repeated that he won the half, to which we heard no response. ./■'.. VnjJHOJUH'S FBDldBEE. As this stallion made his debut in New-York circles, so to speak, the following accountof Mb paternlty,.etc., will be Interesting: Bobert Filllngham is a very handsome dark mahogany brown stallion; was sired by. Wm. M. Byedyk's Hambletonlan out of a well bred Mambrino mare, known by the name of DoHy Spanker, owned by Henry D. Felter, of this dry. 1 She was a very hand- some, spirited mare, and could trot in leas than two minutes and forty seconds. Her colt, Bobert Filllngham, was raised at Greenwood Lake! Orange county, by Theron Felter, Esq., and was foaled May 3, IMS. ■ The dam was ruptured in foaling,'and was never able to give any sustenance to the colt; it was raised by hand, but was always kind and doolie from its birth; it was never grained until it was broken. After attaining three years of age, it could trot wen when first put in harness, and could trot In considerably better than three minutes when four ; rears old. When five years old past, it was sold by Mr. Theron . Felter to Messrs.Jones & Simmons, and afterwards was bought by Mr. Z. E. Simmons himself, the present owner. TflHiignain has trotted only one race previous .to the present, and that was with Peter Voorhees' stallion, Young Abaallah, .which he won very easily.

Ethan Allen has been so long before the puhllo as a first class trotter, and has become so well known as a scccessful compet- itor with suoh animals of repute as Flora Temple, Lantern, John Morgan, Brown Dlok, and- others, (with' the former of whom, assisted by his running mate, Socks, he gained a victory in a oemed, we believe it to have boen on the square.

At the conoloslon of the race, a grand atamrledo ensued for the various vehicles anS forthe railroad dopot, where, the orowd filled a dozni or mora cars to suoh an extent that, after an hour's wait, the ' Wbrine" was unable fotsomo time to start. The light fingered gentry were around with their "fraudulent contrivances" again, Ogrlnir the wait, and caught several flats at from H to tSG.

By the time announced for the start the interior of the track was covered with vehicles of all sorts, from ths barouche to the peddler's wagon; and several of the'hotel coaches were driven on "four in hand."- Both stands, the old'and'nsw, were liter- ally crowded with humans of the masculine gender, from roof to around floor, particularly the former, where'they were "as thick as three in a bed." The babel of tongues was "teemen- Juous," and everybody seemed bent on betting, from drinks to a gold repeater, while green-backs fluttered In the breeze from many a fist The attendance was variously estimated at from ten to twelve thousand, and the aggregate- amount of money invested, at from $20,000 to $80,000. As guessing on these mat- ters la rarely correct, we shall , not commit ourselves by giving an'estimate; bat we might add that It would have been a gay place for a,drafting offioer or Provost Marshall,for the sinews of war—both in men and money—were there in plenty, But to • TEE BAOX. After one hour of unwarrantable delay, for the purpose of aid- ing the sale of drinks and chowder, we presume,' tho horses, Fil- llngham in the hands of Horaoe Jones, and Ethan driven by Dan Mace, the latter having the inside, dashed past the score for the start, but it was no go, Ethan having too great an- advan- tage. This was thrice repeated, but on the'fourth attempt, "go" was shouted bynhe Judge to a very fair start, Ethanthaving a slight advantage, whioh he increased largely up to the quarter pole, where Filllngham "wentup," and things for the instant looked squally for the betters of odds. But Jones soon had him dowxno his work again, and a magnificent burst of speed on approaching the half mile pole brought Filllngham to his opponent's wheel, and on rounding the turn, Ethan's advantage was rapidly diminished, until, Justbefore entering .on the home stretch, they were neck and neck,' the speed being ,very'fast Filllngham was the first to show his head on rounding the turn, then went up a ehout from the grand' stand that ■ was truly elec- trifying, and as though oil the throats had been suddenly trans- formed into one.

The principal speculators were now Jubilant, exoept those, who hod bet on quick time, as it was evident that Ethan could not push Filllngham to bis topmost speed. A grand rush was now made for chowder and "Buthln to take," and the track was suddenly all alive again. The pugilistic propensities of the persons previ- ously alluded to, were again exhibited, and another fight ensued resulting In o "stand off," and nobody much hurt. The "gala" liked It though, and manifested thelrpleasureby divers grotesque anttoa and "lost" movements. After an Intermission of half an hour, the bell rang again, and the same demonstrations for clear- ing the track were made, and presently the "flyers" were seen approaching to start for tho second neat On the second at- tempt they got off beautifully even, and went along at si spanking gait to the first quarter, on passing whioh. both wentup, but Ethan getting down to his work, quickly, gained a commanding lead, whioh no maintained to the half; but here ho ecemod to flag, and Filllngham overhaulod him.
