An aocount of the presentation may 1 be found in another part of this issue. Ssm Fond, advanoe. courier for Duprez k Oreen's Minstrels, waa in town last week, on his way to complete arrangements for the appearanoe of the oompany in neighboring States. "The lion and the lamb shall lie down together," says the good book; and no one has done more towards the fulfilment of this prophecy than Mr. Van Amburgh and the gentlemen con- nected with him. In subjugating •' vloitlous beasts," as Dan Bry- ant calls them. Have you been at Van Amburgh's Menagerie On Broadway, yet? If a a rare show, in truth, and draws iSe wild- fire ; If you know what that means. The concern went to an expense of some $1^000 in altering the Chinese building, for the reception and properdlsplay of the animals, but if the business done has not. already wiped out thatsoore, we win consent to enter the dsn of wild beasts, and take dinner with them. The whole of the vast building la occupied by the show, " up stairs, down stairs, and in my lady's ohamber," meaning the ball- room and lidles' draahig-rosom. From early mora till dewy eve, on Thanksgiving day, one stream of humanity poured in to see the specimens of the brute oreatlon, and then poured out again. Why is an elephant like an oyster t That's old, says some mali- sons "secessionist" (any one that offends us now, we oall a se- cessionist). Bo it Is, say we ; but we've got a fresh answer for it, whloh it is, as fellows: Because neither of them can speak a piece. If Meade suooeeds In demoralizing Lee's army as Grant has orumbled up Braga's. "ihefethe rebellion win be brought to a dose before the end of the yfar," as the Herald keeps on saying. And that's Just what we wii&so is to begin the new year fresh. In the meantime, while we. are prosecuting the war with un- abated Tlgor, let us all take a look in at Butler's American The- atre, Ui Broadway, if we can get In, and enjoy the entertain- ments, for at this house we find a performance different fromall other places in the city, combining a little cf all sorts In one great blU. There's "play aoUngj" there's nigger singing; dan- olng; gymnastics; oomto songs, to make you laugh; funny Jokes, to amuee you; and so forth. A Tery laughable little aketah Is to be brought out next week; it is called "Flbboodle'a First and Laat Voysge on Board the Yacht Gypsum." Ball In, and see it This week, Miss Agnes Sutherland, the •■SootUab IfahtliigMe;"' mikes her appearance, and Denny Gallagher, Ethiopian come- dian, la also announced.

It is-our painful .duty to record the daath of another member of.the minstrel profession. Billy Qulnn is no more. He died In this olty on Sunday, Hot. 29th, at' 3A.ll, of consumption, from which he suffered long and'severely. His age was 26 yean. Billy Qulnn was formerly engaged with Oharley White, when that gentleman was In the Bowery. He also performed with George Christy, and worked'A'lOng time under Mr. Butler's man- agement, at 444 Broadway. His principal line of business was Jig dsnclng.bat recently he turned his attention toother branch- es of the mlnitrel business, and while at 444 Broadway appeared In a variety of Ethiopian eocentriolttes.

The first scene introduces Faust in his study, appa- rently In a fit of the blues, from whloh he is aroused by a neat sp_d lively chorus. This interruption ^ppirently' pnta him into efuevil of, a mood, for be proceeds i f upon his Setanio ma jeity, who' suddenly appears In the usual traditionary costume attributed to him by the great Goethe. As the opera, in plot and language, is nut the German poet's story over again, It is need- less to suudA to it to detail; anffloeltto say, therefore, that the it is entered into, and Faust la endowed With the usual jjiivllsges, and at once enters upon his sinful career. The segEnd sot opens with a gay and festive scene, wherein stu- dents, ^urghen, soldiers, maidens, and matroihf appear in a Tery promiscuous manner. A ballet scene follows, during which Marguerite makes her appearanoe, and gives us a choice solo. Iblhe third and fourth acts, tbe real business of the opera be- and.fhe unfortunate affair d'amore between Faust and his 'emlntoe^notim is brought to a climax at once striking and to- terestf*gV,' The. scene in whloh the casket of Jewels Is found by rite. Is one of the best in the opera, and the lyrio efforts of the axons ellolteH. the heartiest applause, albeit the enema were too readily responded to by those called upon their solos, A striking and novel feature or the seco: the "Kenriesse" scene, was the chorus of the lame beggars, whloh allotted a decided encore. In the last act there Is a falling off to the interest of the drama, and the closing piece Is far from being as praiseworthy as it might be made. Take it altogether, the opera Is one. of the most attractive that has been presented thissaa/ion. As regards the vocal efforts of those engaged in the cast we have especially to commend Miss Eellogg.'s rendition of thero!^ofMajrguerIte,andalfloBlsooM'sKephla.topbJles; In faot the performance throughout.

Clarke, presented a blU at the Brooklyn Aoademy of Mualo that attracted a big crowd; the dra- mas performed being "Eustachs Bauden" and the "Drunkard," Clarke appearing in several characters to the former, and to the well known role In the other. As far .as Clarke, himself wasoon- oemed—and we might include one or two ethers—the perform- anoes merited the peouniary success attendant upon , them; but for the remainder of the oast, the less said the better. Why, a seoond class lot of amateurs would hare done equally as we U. During the performance of the drunken scene In the latter play, an alarm of fire was given, and there being several firemen in the house, of oourae there was a rush, to go to the fire. Theoofi- sequenoe was that many thought the building waa on fire, and a penlo immediately ensued, the oiroumstance at one lime prom- ising a sad/nole. Order was, however, soon restored, and when Mr. Clarke came forward to address the-panlo-strloken audience, he remarked that as soon as quiet was resumed he would get drunk again. This sally created a laugh, and the rest of the dra- ma was gone through with untoterroptedly. -. In San Francisco, and other parts cf-California,'business may be good, for aught we know, but correspondents don't seem to sgtee on ill points; In faot, we regret to say it their reports are Tery oonfllottog at times, and apt to mislead the "Indulgent reader." Since our last we have received two communications touching theatricals, etc, in the Golden State Both wrltera are known to us, and we ought to place reliance on both; but as they don't "oolnolde" to their views of passing events, we are at a loss how to reoonoile the diiorepenoles. In suoh a oase, we give-both documents, leaving the "discriminating reader" to draw his own toferenoes, and separate the wheat from the chaff. One Is from Sherry Corbyn, and la dated San Franolsoo, Oct 81st, and Is as follows:— Fbdutd Fbanh— Slnoe .my last I have been very busy changing my base of operation from the "old oomer," whloh I found far too oramped for my expanding Ideas, to the now and oommodlous establishment on Commercial street which wo have ohriatenod (•W—that means my partners to crime, Gilbert It Bert) OUoert't New Idea, not that the name Is an original idea, but still the latest Imported idea dtreot from the Empire Olty; and as almost all ideas from that the Great Olty of the Hew World, are food idem, we had an ictes that It would be the best ides to steal a little of your .thunder. We opened on the 17th, with an array of talent that startled even ourselves; think of Miss Lotta,Mmo. Aoosta, Dolla Sigar, Jennie Lamont, Miss Hamilton, Mile. GailotU, and Mils. Minnlo, among the ladles; with BlUy O'Nell, BUhr Blair, Johnny Do Angells, Hons. Wlethoff, Hons. GsUotll, Joe Taylor, J. Mabbott, G. Edmonds, and P, Sterling, backed by any quantity of lesser lights, and you will. I am sure, say. as ill do here, suooess must crown their (our) efforts. As I said before, we. opened to a house packed from floor to oelllng, the receipts being five hundred and twelve dolltra, and with but two exceptions the houses havo continued flue; wehavo a magnificont house, a fine oompany, and tbeso, oomblnod with the energy wo mean to put. into It, will oompel tho Nev Idea to become the popular idea, spite all oppoiitlon. After writing so much I had. almost let It slip toy memory to glTS you saotser.very weighty reason why wo must succeed—It Is that we have secured Smith, the veritable W. B. Smith, to manage for us, and now that I have devoted so muoh apace to talk about ourselves, lot me say a word or two about show business in general.

In {his reipeot, no one at the, Park makes up to such a finished and artli tio style aa Lennox. Bj- the way, speaking of this aotor. It is greatly to be rBgrstted.tha* bis marked talent has been so iosg bidden under. a bnahel ss/lt' has been at Laura Keene's. There are few better .general come-- dlans now on the stage than this self-same Lennox, and. he haa rapidly beoome the favorite of the habitues of the Park Theatre. We would, however, suggest to him a Utile moderation In the, gag business; witty and to the point as his efforts are in this Ob- Jeotlonable style of business, it Is nevertheless something a tru- ly good actor should almost entirely ignore. In the after-pUea| of "Jenny Llnd," Lennox went the whole animal to the gagline, and he and Miss Shaw had about as Uvely a Utile time of it aa! |the audience, and they evidently relished the whole scenev The attendance on each night was very good, to spite of the. drawback of stormy weather. But the faot Is, the Park may. now', be considered an established institution, and it is npldly hir- ing lta regular taWluo.ea had the Olymplo cf old. When we.' hare an opportunity to praise the musical department of the. theatre, we shall do so, and not until then; but we hope some duplicate of Laura Keene's Baker will be found soon, to Cooke up the mualo ss it should be done. A feature of this theatre is, the gentlemanly oharaoter of the ushers engaged, and the i order that is preserved. At the Haahvllle theatres, business Is reported as being good..
