The Orchestra Concert. We all hope Mr. Thomas m'ay'havc a very large audiencc' at his loncert on Tuesday evening. But I fear that some, remember- ing that certain unpleasant experien'ceswith the (very) Irish band which 'visited. our shores during the summer, may stay away, dreading the noise of sixty performers.’ Let me call the attention of those who may have this feeling to the difference between a brass band and an orchestra. The former is the embodiment of noise, even when the softer toned clarinets are associated with the brass, only the shrill E-flat is heard much, and the brassy tone, all of one kind, is over5 :poweringwhenconfined. The orchestra is oari'cty itself; poetic sentirfints ; warlike spirit; the soft breathiugs of love, and the harsh accents of. rage and, despair, all he dormant, within it, ready to appear when called forth by the magical wand of the magician-conductor, who must, however, subject himself to the spell of that mightier magician, the composer. _ V No one need fear then that Mr. Thumas will bring a. noise here and call it will-arc. It may become necessary that the orchestra should roar, but I can assure you that under his guidanco it shall “roar you as mildly as a sucking dove,” and frighten none from their propriety.

Both ‘word‘ and ‘tone’ have been equal- .lv a matter of careful culture with him. Every word, every syllable could. be heard in the furihest corner ofthe hall, and even in pianisumo passages were distinctly, per- ceptible. But this excellence of distinctness is the fruit of long years of searching studies, (such as few of Our German singers care to undertake). As we hear’ Osgood made his studies at first with Sieber, in Berlin, and afterward, for two years, he was under the instruction of Lamperti, in Milan, as a con- cert and oratorio .sineer.

Her rendering of some of the passa es be- ing full of pathos and beauty. Mr. orton, the author of the drama, appeared in four characters, and at once stamped himself as great an actor as he is an author. His “Law er Hollister" was immense, while his " os.

Judging . wife considerably his junior. One day, soon after the ceremony, he was riding wi.h her, and on coming to' a hill, she bantered him as as per volume. with the remark: Judge, used to walk'up hill. 50 r‘eplled the Judge, - ' strcefs have suddenly become throngedwith smaller fry, of the old-fashioned kind—high- way robbers, who stop and plunder travel- ers in, the holdest manner, in broad daylight the eyes of the .police, and who continue their daily evocations without let or hia- drance, and grow holder and bolder every day._ They snap their fingers at the police, and the authorities cowardly confess that they cannot stop the evil that~.they are not strong enough to cope with it, and in thus avowing their 'weakne ncourage and strengthen the thieves. T s state ofafl‘airs should end at once, and the only way to end it is for the newspapers. to take, it in hand and by agitating the matter create a public sentiment that will force the authorities to do their duty or resign in favor of brave men who will. 'Under the'title of “A Thief Ridden community,” the Tribune had an article, one . day last Week, admitting that' “oflatc pick! pockets have appeared in the street-cars in greater force than‘ usual, and have-plied their calling with boldness and impunity. The lines most infested-by thieves are the Cross-town,Broadw'av and University place. .Third, Sixth, and Eight arcs," and should , haveadded Fourth avenue. It says cou- ductors acknowledge that they dare not‘ ,interfere,'nor warn passengers,.f‘or fear of -their lives, “for if notassaulted on. the cars their way home”, The Tram-1w adds :— “There seem to be three or more gangs of the Third-ave; line. ' One gang .entera car uptown and 'ride. to Fourteenth-st, where. they alight‘and take a car bound up to‘wn; Apecond gang operate on the cars between Fourteen_th-st.‘and the Cooper‘ Union,and a third from thatl'point to the neighborhood. ofthe B'ower -Theater. ' - .The cars it the Grand-st. and Cross Town Line are occupied-by thieves most frequent- I between the Academy of Musicand Fifth venue Hots]. While Barnum’s Museum and Menagerie was exhibiting in Fourteenth st. .this line was the es’cial'resort of thieves who reaped a harvest from the crowds of country people who, visited the Museum. The'_Broadway- and University-place cars, carrying probably the best class of passen- gers, have long been infested by pickpockets. . During the evening the cars are crowded by persons going to or returning from the various places of amusement, and , the thieves steal watchesnnd wallets, and o'c- casionally a diamond pin. The Sixth-ave. cars in the vicinity'of Booth’s Theater, and ‘ the Eight-tar cars near the Graanpera House are ha ts of thieves, who may also be found on stormy days and nights at th starting-points at Vesey and Canal-sis} ' ' The Fourth and Madison~ave. cars, and the branch of the Third-ave. leading to. the Grand Central Depot, are thronged with thieves after the arrival of express trains. Occasionally, heavy sums of money and large amounts in bonds are obtained from unv'vary passengers.” There are isolated cases'on other roads, and occasionally in the Broadway stages, but these are the prin- cipal- cars nightly. ‘ . liat this evil can be grappled with and overcome, was’ demonstrated a few. years ago ‘by Insfiector Daniel Carpenter, since deceased, e detailed for special day two men. from each police precinct through which lines of :cars passed.‘ These men were known as car detectives, and were se- lected for . their personal knowledge .of thieves and their ways.’ Their orders Were to arrest every known thief whom they found in a public conveyance. The fact that the thief was there was to be taken as prt'mafacz'o evidence that he intended to steal. The prisoners were to be taken to the nearest station house and locked -up. If discharged by the magistrafes and this was done inn majority of cases it was to make no difference; and the arrests were to continue. , . . This poliéy was pursued with the hap- piest effect. The thieves found their voca-' tion ruined. ' ' ' . (8' The Tribune says the prosecution of the Ring has come to an impotent- conclu- sion indeed, when, after all, Tweed and May- or Hall are the only persons indicted. There were indicted originally Peter B. Swecny, and his brother, Woodward,.IngersolI, Hall, Connolly, Tweed, Cook, Genet, Garvey, Hugh Smith, and others‘whosc names and particular deeds are already forgotten. Even Peter B. Sweeny and Connolly are no long-' or under indictment; Woodward himself can return with impunity to the scene of his profitable operations as, ’a go-betwccn of greater rogues. Practically, Tw'ced is the only accused member of the old. Ring still in the field for trial, and Reform will have to take its satisfirction-b‘ut of him. Thus far his old comrades have left him to béar the brunt and expense of the battle; and his enemies appear, now to think the people will be satisfied with his punishment. ' _ A .H .

Rew, of Black Rock, took his gun Tuesday morning and started out with the intention of shooting some game for'a sick sister. He was expected to return before noon, but failing to do so the family became anxious concerning the cause ofhis delay, and began to look for him. His brother started down toward the creek. and after awhile found the young man‘s gun and clothes lying~on the bank. With these he set out for home but was so overcome with apprehensions of his brother’s probable fate that he was'unable to . reach home.~ Upon farther search being instituted tracks were seen leading to the water. The report of a gun was heard in that vicinity during the forcnoon, and-this tact taken in connection. with‘the finding of the clothes and gun on the shore leads to the belief that theiII-fated youth shot a duck, swam out to recover it, and becoming chilled sank and was swopt out by the current which at that place is quite i-apid.7—Boidgeport Standard. _ [3‘ The unfortunate youth" was a nephew of Mr. A.
