Bnt few places of amosement wmeonen last week, but those that uere open were well patron- lUd and lood ontertalnmenta were glveir. A few weeks more, the rmnlarfUl and winter season will be inanonrated here ud dsewkere. Already some of onr abtentees are beginning to retain boms, and quite a number of professional people can be Cm on tha BhlUlng side , of Broadway, airing themselves and Ualr new itore goods at the same time; bnt we have not yet en- oonntered Agnes lUtblnson (>Irs,Boacloanlt), who was reported, a few weeks shioe, as about to leave London for New lore. Dion has put hlB foot lalt, this tme, sure; when he loft New Tork he left behind him a pretty fair reputation; bnt the first act of his, ■Iter his arrival In Kngland, to create ah anfavorable opinion of him among his former friends here, was the display of the rebel flag from hlJ theatre in London. Bot what need he care for pub- llooplnlon in this country, when all England was so lavish of Us fivors, and when hla theatre was crowded night after night, and money poured Into his coffers like water Into our swill milk 'eaas? He was a hankey boy, then. AU was lovely with him, and his goose hang high. Indeed. Everything that he tonohed proipered—his "Colleen Bawn" beoame the rage throughout Srett Brllaln. Uanagers everywhere paU him tribute for the privilege of performing the •'Oolleen.'' The "Oollean" was a good egg, and paid Blonyalns handsome profits, ThenBouoy longed iu spread, and as John Mitchell longed for a plantation weu stocked with Negroes In Alabama, so Dion wished for a big. gtr theatre In London, well atooked with the necessary adlanda; ■she thODght to spread hlmsnlf in the Weatmlnater; bnt alas and •liokt he got "olrcumvenled." John Comley, we think it was,ln his celebrated spelling book, said, "By Adam's fall, we ain-ned all;" Mrs. Adam, whose maiden-name was Eve, ^as the cause of the fiMt man's downfaU. Now, we don't say that a similar case had a like effect on Dlonysloi Bonoloanlt, but certain it la, that Dion's little btulneas arrangement with Mn, George Jordan did him no good; for from the time that the case was made Sablio In London, through a suit brought against one of leparUea Implicated in the boardlnR-honse fracas, by George Jordan, the fortunes of Bouoloault nave bfea on the decline, imlll now wa find him declared a bankrupt. In the petition for •djudloatlon In the Court of BankmptcyrLondon, It waa Intima- ted that the bankrupt having made a large sum of money by the "OoIlsenBawa," ha thought he saw his way clear .to Increasing that asm by entering upon the Westminster Theatre. Having expended, It Is said, as much as £14,000 upon alterations and Improvements of that theatre, a scheme was started to carry It onlntheforai of a Limited Liability Company. For his later, set in that theatre and another property situated in the Haymar- ket, which the bankrupt had contracted to purchase, he was to , receive ttom the company as much as £40,000, and It Is to the aoD-conpleUon of that amogement that the bankruptcy is at- tributed. The liabilities ofthe bankrupt are said to be £81.000. Us aasots being about £20,000, exclndve of aoklm of £38,000 npon the New Theatre Company. And thus fUl one of the most raooessftil playwrights of the sge; had he continuod to play right, this doleful tale had ne'er btfcn told "Bweetaretho uses of adversity," aome oonganlal writer once wrote: we think be has been mlaqaoled, however. No doubt the writer Intended toaav, "Sweetare thenseaof advortlBlng." Wo are borne ont In this view of the case b; the nses of advertising in the Oupfeb. Why, during the past year, through the advertialng department ofthe CuFFEB, we have been the means of bringing into com- munication again, parties who have been separated for^ years, and who had not even heard of each other's movements until a line In the Cufpsb oaught their eye and brought about a re- milon of relatione and friends. Trnlymay it lie said, then. that "Sweet and profitable are the lises of advertialng.''

This is how It goes:—"What's the duerence between ladles and soldier* t The first powder their faoes, and the latter ftcos the powder." Mrs. Forrest has been to court agohi.

The Court Ranted the petition, and made an order that the U.S. Trust Company pay over to plaintiff the intereat.on the bond and mortgage in their poasesaion, received by them.

Campbell's Minstrels dosed a successful series of anter^ toinments at the New Bowery Theatre, on the 2Sth July.. The companr might have remained there with profit aome ttoo longer, bift' engagements prevtonaly entered into neoessltstM. their departure. A compumentary benefit was given the mat- agor on the 14Ui, when a number of volunteers appeared, the at- tendance being huge, and the benefit was a shccess in every par- ticular. Mr. Leslie, of Bryants', Joined the party on the 20th. Johnny Booker, the bones of this troupe, is a very ol4ver como' dlan, and created a very favorable Impression by^,Iil% eomicall' ties. George Gray, who la attached to the companyas balladlat, has been off for a few nights In eonseqnence of indliposiilon. From hero they loavo for Neyv Jersey, this woek, and open at the Pltlaburg Theatre on the 3d of August ■ ■ '..

It waa a palpable hit, and brought down the honse. We believe the point has alnco been declared by the management to be "not well taken," and consequently it has not been repeated. Talking about hits, one of the best of the season was that which attended the first amearanoeln thla city of Mr. J. E. Green, the minstrel, on the 34th July, on the occaalon of the bonefit given to Mr. M. 0. Campbell, at the New Bowery Theatre. Mr. Green Is one of themanigersofDnprez lcGreen's celebrated band, known as the "New Orleans and Meilropolltsn Opera Troupe." The company reatlns here for a ehort time to re- cuperate for thefUI sesson; Mr. Green volunteered for Mr. Campbell's benefit He sang the «Mooklng Bird Song," intro- ducing imltetlonsbf the mocking bird,'and his reception was Immense. Mr. Green possesses a sweet voice, sings with much taste, and accompanlea himself on the gultor In a very ar^tlo mannor. In his Imltetlons of the various notes, songs, and warbllngBof the mocking bird, however, he excels anything of the kbid we ever listened to. The entire performance is re- markably interesting, and those who have not beard Mr. Green haveoertaioly mlased a rich treat He was rapturously applauded, and was compelled to repeat the aong. He agalnf appeared on the atlth, and achieved another great success. We believe he wIU travel with Mr. Campbell's company until hla own troupe Is ready to start ont again. Acnette Galettl, the accomplished danuiue, who for the post year has been fulfilling a series of conUnuons and profiteble es-^ gagemente in the prindpol oltlee, is' on the eve or completing her engagement at the Boston Museum, snd will be open to ne- gotiate with managers on and after the 3d of August, through her sole agent Mr. F.
