Remembering the Volunteers.

--A dramatic representation was given at the Opera House in New Orleans on the 27th of August, from which at least three thousand dollars were realized. The Bee says:

‘ The representation of London Assurance was not expected by the performers to be found a masterpiece of dramatic ability, but we found a great field for praise and commendation in all that we saw. The part of Lady Gay Spanker was given in true spirit, and was, perhaps, the greatest success of the evening. The orchestra, under the talented direction of M. Leon Prevost, greatly enhanced the success of the evening by its rendering of favorite morceaux.

’ As there is considerable curiosity regarding the dramatis persons, we think it would not be offending propriety were we to intimate that Meddle was represented by Mr. J. F. O — t — s, Sir Harcourt Courtcy and Mr. Spanker by the brothers H — no--, Charles Courtley by Mr. Th--y — r, Dazzle, by Mr. M — p — s, and that Mr. Ch--p — d--, supported another character. The lively Lady Gey was another then Mrs. I — v-- whose as a Shakespearian reader is well known, and Grace Markaway was the accomplished Mind. F — h — r.
