Mr. lOrregi having oonoloded bis Brooklyn engagement on Ike Hit, will re-open this evening at MlUo's. In Brooklyn, whera the people are aapposed to be ttnoiored a little with piety, lbs "aiidlator" waa' announced aa Dr. Bird's tragedy of "Spuv iuoi." Ur.Forrest'alilia-llksportraltnraa oraatnlanlUA'^- fil tor the leiltlmate, and bla performances attracted large Piai jinnnj. TaUdDg about' life-like entertainments, recalls to ntailaveiyextraordliiarylnoldentwhichlarelatedln tbe hli- tsiyof Sweden, written by Dalen. It took place at the rspresBi- tatloD of a myatery of the Passion, under John II, 1618. lut actor who pbrformod the part of Longinns, the aoldler who waa la pierce the Christ on the oroas in the aide, was ao far trans- parted by tbe aplrit of bla acUon, thatbe reuly killed the man who peismited the Christ; who, falling suddenly and with great rioleaot, overthrew the actress who represented ue holy mother. Sng John, who waa present at tbls apeotaele, waa so eiceedlnglv enraged against Longinns, that be leaped on the atage and atruci cS Us head. The ep^fators, who bad been dellgbted with tbe too vldsnt actor, became Utarlated againat their king, fell upon Um In a throng, and maaaaored him. This may stand aa an ei- ample of the power of dramatlo repreeentatlon; but It argnee little In fkror of tbe moderation and aolemnlty inspired by such sacred subjects. Mr. Forrest appears this evening as Uacbeth; and on Tuesday evening Mlaa Heron revives Camllle. During Hr. Forrest's present engagement Dr. Bird's tragedy of the Broker of Bogota la to be brought out This tragedy la conaid- ered one of the moat finished of Dr. Bird's productions. This tragedy, like the Qladlator, Ustamora, Orelooaa, Jack Cade, eto., wu written expreaaly tor Ur. Forrest We predict for it a splen- did run. Hr.'. Iti 0. Omp(ell la laboring hard to give our west end friends a good mmnrel entertainment He la atrlvlng to locate the Oampbell Ulnitrels, permanently, at Palace Uuslo Hall, comer of Blith Avenue and Fourteenth street Ur. Campbell designs'to give a Oiat-claaa enterUnment, andeo tU he has done Tei7 well. He wlU improve as he learns the tastes of bla patrona. We have had a great many Oampbell Ulnstrds, but very few bave any right to the title. Ur. U. 0. Oampbell, how- ever, is one of the exceptions. He is a Oampbell all over ; be Is one of the originals, and baa been in tbe buslneaB many years. Tbeie's a good Joke about the "Oampbells," which, perhaps, aome of our readers may have never heard. Borne yeaia ago, when the minstrel buslnesa waa in its inftooy, Luke West took his Oampbell Minstrels on a trip down South. He made a stand at a town where anoh a performanoe had neverbefore been given. Ihe town vias billed with Immenae posters, on which waa an- nounoed in flaming letters—"Tbe Campbells are Coming." This had been snfflclenttooorry the party through In other places, and It was thought (uDlolent for a one-horse town, aa this stand npeaiedtobe. Well, the night oame, and the ball waa crowded, tiare being a good many rough alleys present among the rest Partflnt opened in tbe usual atyle, with singing. Jokes, eto., by the company. In blaok faces, and wooUyvrlgs. The show went CO, butttwas evident that there was aomeUUng 'wrong In Cront; there was trouble brewing; dlasatlatkctlon iras beginning to be Binlfeated, and tbe roughs were becoming very noisy and demonitrative. Luke West did not understand it—the ehow WMtsgoodas usual, and everything waa going on like clock- work, on the atage; but tbe nolae in front increased, when Weet tnse. and aaked what was the oauae of the disturbanoe—what wu tbe wish of theandlence. At this a great big burly fellow lotip, and said i-'TII tell yor what's thematter-U yer don't ttte off them damn niggera and bring on the oamels, we'll tear % Jpurwhola menagerie to pleoea." Itvreslnvalntoexpostulato: the "damn niggers" were slyly got ontthe back way, and the Unuer heard was—"bring on Iheoamels, bring on the camels." iMidehavB becoiile rather mora etallghtened' since those days, ud Negro Minstrelsy is now one of the most popular aouroea of ^imiiementwebave.
