There was one day and oliht howoTor, when the heat had no more effeet on the people tlSni single dlih of chowder haanpon a fMe lunoher. That ma Thinkeglvlng Day. Everybody was out, and eveiybody was rirtmi tbanlia In their own peculiar manner. Bome went to fchunb, some to the theatre, some to Uercar street, some to the hosom of their own and other people's famlUea, and some to the Bl»t« PrUon, for rioting. The Bowery theatres gave afternoon and evening performances, and they were attended by thonaanda.

And what do you think Manager Llngard did at the Kew Bowery Theatre? Ouees. Can't. Well, we'll teU you. Notirlthstandliig the Intense heat, with his house boUlng over with a mixed mnlUtode of overdone humanity, he actually gave a irtnd exhibition of Jirt\ix>rk», lighting up the Bowery for several blocks, and making It appear that a great conflagration was ra> fling. Ohovder clubs were oat In Btrength—the Manhattan, the Magara, the Hlbemla, etc, filling stages with their human fteliht, and thenuelvca with hot ch6wder. Everything .leemed to be In keeping with the weather Thonaanda of prosp^bt. iTB conaoilptB and othera have left the city since our last, and yet you don't mles them.

ATblle the recent riots were raging, and* Louies burning, and all sorts of lawleosness going on, we made a Btuunln' piece of poetiy about It Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade," la a parody on ours. With the readers kind permission we'll Inlrodnce It here:— In the draft In the draft. In the draft onward— Conu to the valley of death, Or pay the three hundred.

Lovely as they look ott paper, far sweeter do they show upon the stsge, A few lines of poetry are necessary to doihem jnatloe: We love to see Bob BuUer's girls, at four forty-four Broadway; And even time we have the time, we're thither anre to stray; Thev're dressed so neat, from head to feet, and look ao shy on as, That oftentimes, with other chape, th<qr've ^ot as In a muss; They sing so aneot, It Is a treat to listen (o their voices, Begardlsss of the small expense, Of df the usual noises; In danclng,~too, how swift they go, with what delight they fill us, Hi — . ■ Oh I take them olf, friend Butler, do, or elae those girls wlllj kill us; and ao forth.

Mr. .Tyrrell has gone to Providence, B, I. i All those ladles and gentlemeiMho have not yet secured their tickets to see the Ohoet will pleSe step up to the ticket ofilce at Wood's MInHtrels, and secure the same'. The "ghoet" myetcty is to be bronght out by Mr. Wood, this evening; It Is tobe pro- duced by .similar apparatus to that used at .Wullack's Ineatre, and will be shown as a moving, speaking, acting spectre; not a burleaquo, mind yon, but the real Pepper Phantom; Fall not to see it In addition to the abosOy attraction, Jast see what a splendid company Mr. Wood has now engaged—Eph. Bom— who returns to Wood'a company after an unaucceBSlBl managerial trial with Mr. Newcomb^—Frank Brewer, Oharley Fox, and A., J. Talbott—All comedlana of the highest ordsr of merit, and each a star In himself; then look at the following array of Tocallata:— D. S. Wambold, MT. Olenn—a splendid alto—43. Henry, 0. 0. Lockwood, and VSohwlcardl, all full grown In thebualneas— added to which Uat, however; should be the name of Master Wood, who slugs very prettily; u Inatrumentallala, the following first-class arttatli give still greater strength to the already atrong character of tbe troupe, viz:—^ Haslam, P. B. and B. Isaacs, and J. Lets, with M. Lewis as dancer, and Cool White as Inter- rogator, than whom there is no better.- Isnt it a magnificent band ?-Go and see'em this week. We have ilo change to note a^ Niblo's Qarden, for the "Duke's Motto" continnea Tie tarlumpbant run, having now reached lie slxty-flrst nliht; with the exception of the vei; hot nights, the houses have been good, and the success of the piece promises to continue. A blaze of light, Bparhling and of all colors, enveloped the New Bowery on Thanksgiving Night Manager Llngard giving an out- side display of costly fireworks. The house waa crowded In every part on the occBsion, while the afternoon performance also attracted a large attendance. Mr. Eddy and Mrs. Farren are now In their seoond week, for which they snnounce a number of very Interesting performancea, "Norman Leslie" being among the revlvale. Sher. Campbell wlU not be with the Bryants this aeason. He haa gone In with Sanderson, the pianist; Beeves, the tenorlet; and the party are about giving a aeries of concerts through the country, Mark Smith and Emily Thome concluded their seoooBati the Winter Oarden on the 8th, and the house Is now closed^ It Is to bo re-opened on the ITth by Mr, H. Blond, with Mrs. Brewer as the Btor. After a recess of a few weeks' duratlcn, Bryant's MluBtrela re- open their hall for the fall..and winter campaign this evening, Aug. 10th.

Dan Bryant and Dave Reed will do the end busi^ ness, while Nelse Seymour takes the middle, and acts aa Interro- gator, whloh Isn't a-bad Idea, enabling, as It doe*, the manager > dispose cf three comedlsns in the first part—a delicate task sometimes. The "Ohoet" is to be brought out here, too, but doubtless It will be a burlesque spirit The Old Bowery re-opened on the 6th Inst At the Muieom. light pieces are given to light audiences. The bX woman still holds her own, and "more too." Geo. F. Bailey, the well known olreue manager. Is In town, but goes back to the show on Wednesday, 11th. "Profesacr Pepper's Ohoet" made lis long expected dAul at Wallock's Theatre on Thursdoy evening, Oth Inst, to a very crowded honae, and has been visible each erentng sin^e. The "spectral lllaelon" is certainly amazingly clever and noTel, and ae represented here, fully bears out sU that has been said In Its prslae by. the Baropean press. Tho version produced here Is said to be the same as that first Introduced at the Polj technic Institution, London. As a vehicle for this optical llluelon, the affair Is well enough, but todependont of Oob, it hss no morit whatevtr. Bat to write a Juet crit^que upon a new play or actor,. requlreji:more Imaainatlon, learning, and, above all, kindness, than asiblly Is employed in the necessarllyonrt and nasty critl- cUmsof B'dally,-or even weekly jouraaL The imperative need of saying something upon every new thing under the tun, and very often the personal feeling of the critic, result not unft«. quently In erode expreeslons whloh are unjust alike to the criti- cised and the oritlo. There is nothing so very bad, from which something of good may not be extracted, and nothing so excel- lent but like the sun, we may find some sp'bts upon it The Slece seleoled for introdaolng the Ohoet Is adrama entitled "The ride of an BTenlng." produced at Barnum'a Musetim a few years ago, and dramatised from .a stoiyof that name, re.pto- duoed here byMr. Watklns under the Utle of "True to the Laat" As the whole interest of the piece centres on the appear- ance of the. Obost, we will pass over the first two opts, whloh consist only of a little love making and a marriage, the bride en- joying her rights but tor on hour or so, when her husband la ar- rested for the murder of an old miser, (his nncle,) and thrown Into prison, having been as soon as arreeted tried, found guilty, and aentenccd to the acaffold. Ihe murder was committed by another nephew. Dr. Henry Hawe, (Mr. H. F. Daly), and not by the suspected' one, Ocdfrey Dulalne (Mr. Watklns.) The third, or "Ohost »ct," opens In an antique chamber, with the guilty nerihew In a dream, who saya thatlie has been visited by fearful )ooklng spectral vIsIoub. Previous to raising the curtain on this act, the' house is darkened—orery gas light being entirely ex- tinguished, the room has the appearance of being lighted only by thd reflectlonB of the moon. As the nephew U seated In a ohalr, a skeleton Is Tlslble.in an tostant standing dose beside htm; and as the nephew turns to view it, the skeleton lifts Its arm with a olutobed dart, and la about to strlko, when It disap- pears. The moglaal appearance and disappearance ofthla object atartlod the audience so, that It was several minutes befbre they could reoove^from the shook; andwheh-they did, theymonf. fiatsd their sarprlse by making the -building echo witK their plaudits. Aa soon as thsir surprise had for a moment subsided, they were again as squally asloniaheil by seeing suddenly ap- pear before them, seated to the chali but Just occupied by the nephew, the ' semblance of tho murdered uncle, and as quick as thouqht ititlfi vanlBhes Into air. The skeleton and the Ohost of the. old miser are again totxoduccd, mak- ing theli'appearance and disappearance as mysteriously as beloro. The nodding of the head of the old Miser in answer to queeUons propounded by the Nephew is very cleverly done, leaving upon the mtod of the most orednloua the oncerlalnly of tlifuUon to ito totsnigent and nmnerooa andlencii'usembled on theeventog'Vra were present Of the artiBla engaged in-tho prodnotlon of.this sensational drama we will be neoessarlly. brief, The atari of ths eventog mafi of oDuna the Ohosts, who performed their parts with sansfltctlon to all, betog perftot and "up" to all the general mlnutla of the boslaes* of the staa^ af- ter the-first night Next to order came Un.

He performed the part of Dnlanie, the Huaband, with much eplrit; he la a clever aotor, reads correctly, apeaks vary dlattoctly, and dm be heard at the'remoteat part of the house.
