Amusements. -Sophie Wobrell Tboupe. Thus far this troupe has met with very gratifying success Last night there was presented the popular burlesque of Cinderella, with Miss Worrell as Prince Pet. As rendered, it was certainly one of the rnost amusing and laughable performances that we have witnessed in a long time. The.

Hernandez and Leon Brothers add much to the variety of the entertainment with their wonderful Japanese representations. The concertina solos were exceedingly good, and Mr. Baily was loudly applauded. Sig. Monde Verde is pei fectly wonderful in his contortion feats.

The performance closed with a most laughable pantomime called Vaul-au-Vent. We Bay go and see the performance and enioy yourselves. To W. B. AKMI8TB AD," R.

Chief Justice Nicholson responded that in a capital the court thought it proper to sit in full bench, and theywould do so. We do not recollect ever witnessing a trial that produced so marked an effect upon the court and bar. There was not a ptir in; the court-room. At the bar stood the prisoner, whose life depended on the result. The court and counsel seemed to feel the responsibility resting upon them.

There was a solemn earnestness7 in the proceedings. The argument of the counsel for the prisoner was able. He discussed the questions of law arising upon the record, with great force and clearness. The argument of the Attorney-general, behalf of the State, exhibited great ability, and fairness. There are many important questions raised in.

It 'will probably be delivered this week, and considering the high legal attainments of the court, public sentiment will' be satisfied with that' opinion: -THE STAGE; Miss Lucy BuBhton succeeded the Lydia Thompson Troupe at -Wood's York, Monday, in a new melodrama "entitled "EedHahds."

Porlerfiold, ayearfor so ago, the' books containing the tax. assessments on- tho real estate of the citizens of Nashville; for the tinefit of the NaBhvilloiand-Ndrlhj western Eailroad. Tho delmquencies on the books, which are for the years 1859-6(M, at the time of their pur; charse, amounted to $15,000 or 20-; 000. Porterfield believihc" that the city was responsible for tho deficit found in the boons, appii; cation to the Finance Committeo for a settlement of the same.

After the committee had partially, examined into the claim, it turned it over to Ee- corder ilaue, with me request that he thorounhly investigate the whole But ject. Kecorder Hade thereupon took in into uuiisiuerauouj ana succeeaea in arriving at a definite conclusion as to whether the city or the delinquent tax-payers were bound to pay the amount mentioned. It appears that in isav, tbe (Jity uouncii passed a law, in accordance with a vote of the citi zens authorizing the" same, levying a tax for the Northwestern Eoad, of for each ot the years 1859-00-1; that the assessments wero made and the books turned over to the company for collection, the law stipulating that each real estate owner oavine such taxes should be en titled to the amount of stock In the road thuB paid in. The city took no stock in the road whatever; was only made the instrument through which an equal levy was made, and was, therefore, relieved of any responsibili ty in either the collection or disbursement of the money raised. In order to the more easy collection ol the lund the company placed their assessment books in the hands of the city revenue collector.

In 1861 the City Council, on account of the excitement incident to the commencement ol the war, post poned levying the railroad tax for that year, until the year 1862, at which time it enacted a law providing that no process should issue againBt 'any citizen who refused to pay ms part Ul lue lum act was passed to relieve the citizens, whose business had been very much depressed by the war, notwithstanding it had no power nor authority for the passage of a law. Mr. Haile' having satisfactorily explained the matter to Mr. Porterfield, showing him that the delinquents whose names appear on his books were alone respon sible for the unpaid taxes under the lew made for the XSashville and western Eailroad, and not the city, at once consented to withdraw the claim which he had filed against the city. We undertand that a bill will be intro duced into the City Council repealing the law, providing that no process of law should issue against any citizen who retused to pay up his delinquent taxes or pro rata ot stock the railroad men tioned, to enable him to collect the Bame.

We are informed that an assessment of $18,000 was made, without authority for such action, upon all citizens, in 186S, in the belief that the city was responsible for the amount claimed. Whether it was ever collected, or what became of it, no one seems to have any knowledge. The Deceiver Abroad. on! The Knoxville Chronicle of the 2Sth contains the following local incident of that city: On Wednesday night a yonng cirl named Sarah Benson, in the employ of a gentleman this city, lett her home without any cause being assigned, and though inquiry was repeatedly made. her whereabouts was not discovered until yesterday afternoon, when Bhe was discovered to have gone to a house of ill-fame on Water Street The girl's mother was in deep distress, and visited the house for the purpose of re claiming ner erring cuuu, uub louna her not.

West Tennesseo Trade. Nashville is entitled to, and ought to have, a much larger trade from West Tennessee than. is now enjoyed by the business men ot the city.

The JNorth western Eoad has given us an opening through the counties of Benton, Car roll, nenry, weaKieyand UDion; and the completion of tbe branch road from Huntingdon to Jackson will enable us to Btrike the very heart of the best cotton-growing country in West Ten nessee. In 1859, Madison County raised more cotton than any other in that division. Oar business men ought to make a vigorous effort to control a trade that would be worth, at least, a million of dollars annually to our city. We have already neglected, too long, cultivating this important trade, mist our west TennesBee friends are anxious to have more intimate and extensive business relations with us, our own people have not met them in the proper manner. The branch road from Huntingdon to Jackson ought to receive the greatest encouragement from all our business men.

-Tbe Whig and Tribune, published at Jactton, is alive to this subject, ana ought to be encouraged by our people. It is the oldest paper in West Tennes- see, una is a puwenui BugjuBiueyorj good work. Captain Eobert Gates, one of the editors'of the Whig and now in the city, and will call upon Business men in jNashviliewno wish cultivate the trade of West Tennessee. We recommend the Whig and Tribune as an excellent advertising medium in that section. Soiree Hnsicale.

A very enjoyable vocal arid instrumental entertainment to a few invited friends of the pupils of Mrs. Bowen, took place at -the residence of Judge John M. Gaut, High Street, last evening. The pupils exhibited a proficiency creditable to themselves and their accomplished instructress, and charmed the company assembled, not less by their skill in music than with tbe modest grace which characterized the performances of each fair debutante. The same class, under tbe supervision of theu" teacher, have in contemplation a successive series of private musical soirees of this sort, which, aside from being delightfully prove otherwise than beneficial to the pupils.

Merciful goodness! There ore flattering prospects for a long season, of unmitigated sloppiness. Virtue is its own, and it may be added, its only reward. To a man in love there are but two places in the world one where bis sweetheart is, and tbe other where ahe isn't. The Elm Street Methodist Church, on South Summer Street, is being put in full repair. P.

J. Sexton has charge ol the work. A good many country merohants are paying their debts with cotton, country produce, etc. It rained heavily yesterday morning, but later in the day the wind blew up freshly from the. north-west, and the climate in the space of a very little while became decidedly cool.

A large number of cars loaded with freight were transfered to the Chattanooga EaHroad yesterday, destined for the south. Eight or nine car loads of slock arrived yesterday over the Louisville and Nashville Eailroad. Fruit stands are multiplying in Nashville these times. The street railroad tracks are slippery now, and have to be sanded occa sionally on steep down grades. i Sneak thieves are making numerous depredations now.

Look out for them. There is a remedy for croup going the rounds, which may, perhaps, prove efficacious. It- is simply allspice tea, the tea being made of whole grains of allspice. According to all accounts, it gives almost instant relief in cases where other remedies have failed, and seems at once to cut the phlegm loose and relieve the child. Two hundred and seventeen arrests were made by the police during last month.

The Common Law Court-room doesn't look as though it had ever been cleaned out since its occupation. The floor yesterday was strewn with an abundance of peanut hulls and tobacco quids. A little boy at a menagerie in Ohio recently, gave an elephant a chew of tobacco. The preacher who omciated at the funeral Baid the little boy had been well known by the neighbors who had iruit trees.

Late last night we received'news that owing to the high water in Elk Eiver.

across which the Nashville and Deca tur Eailroad passes about ninety miles from Nashville, it was considered advis able to discontinue the night train for one day, it being considered dangerous for trains to pass over, a portion of the false work connected with the new iron bridge now being built having been washed away. We are informed that it will 'be necessary for trains to transfer at this point for several days. Insurance Co. Of, Nashville, Office-30 NORTH COLLEGE ST. TIBE, HABBTE AOT BIVEB BISES.
