Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph'
WAsaiMSTON, Dec. 29.
Beerelary Seward,
with Sir Edward Thornton, British Minister, and
M. Berthemj, Fxcnch Minister, arrlfed from
Auburn to-day, where they hare been spending
tilt Christmas holidays.
Tbe Pnblle Debt Statement
for December will ahow a decrease of about
eight millions of dollars. The receipts from
customi have been about eleren millions, and
irom Internal rerenue about the same. Both
are less than last month, but a no Interest was
aid out during December, It Is probable the
eduction of the debt will amount to the sum
Udicated abore.
E. B. Wa.hbarne
had a lengthy Interview with Grant to-day, for
irhat purpose is not known. It Is supposed,
however, to have been with reference to the
recent conversations in newspapers, wherein
Grant's alleged views on various subjects are
f et forth.
Urant'a roller The General Makes
Auotber Denial.
The despatch la yesterday's Iribunt assuming
to foreshadow General Grant's policy relative t J
the distribution of the Federal patronage, ha
been the theme of comment in political circle
to-day. Grant's friends say it la without au'
'thorltyfrom him; and on the General's Dels?
hown the despatch to-day, he said it was on a
par with the despatches In the New York
World which prophesy a rupture between him
self and Congress. The Republicans wonder
how the etory ever got Into the Tribune, and
many suppose that tt had been intended for the
World, and reached the Tribunn by mistake. It
la manifestly untrue, so far as It assumes to
speak the sentiments of Grant.

The Eastern Troubles.
CoNiTiNTiKOPi,, Dec. 28, via London, Dec
29. A circular from the Sublime Porte, just
Issued, confirms the report of the Sultan's refusal
to participate la the projected conference If the
Cretan question Is to be dlicu'ied.
London, Dec. 29. The Russian Government
denies having given authority to Greek mer
chant vessels to use the liuaiian flag for any
purpose whatever.
A Collision Between Tnrks and Greeks
Reported.
Paeis, Dec. 29. Reports have been received
here of a collision between a band of invading
Greeks and a Turkish force in the Turkish
provinoe of Albania, in which the Greeks were
victorious.
Another Marine Disaster.
London, Dec. 29. The emigrant ship Starry
Banner, for New York, was totally lost in a
gale on December 21s seven hundred mile'
west of the coast of Ireland. Forty-two people
were savel on ratts and arrived at Boulogne,
France. The capt liu and the rest of the erew
and passengers, one hind red and twenty-two
persons all told, are lost. Maior Uenrv Joy,
late ot the United States army, and a passenger,
was mainly instrumental in saving the lives of
his fellow-pasenpcr.
There Is no mention of such a vessel as
the Starry Banner in the usufil marine authori
ties, which suggests the probability thit later
advices irom Europe will mitigate the above
startling details.

that was perpetrated on Christmas Eve Is almost
unprecedented.
Farly In the night, certainly not much a'ter
10 o'clock, one ot the prlnoipU Btores on Broad
way was entered, the safe waa blowu open, and
$10,000 worth was stolen in diamond necklaces,
bracelets, opal brooches and ear-rings, emerald
pins, andjfittld watches.
The entered was the basement a. No.
646 Broadway, kept by Mr. J. Edward Bylandt,
auction and commission merchaut. So expedi
tious were the burglarious artists that they left
behind them their whole paraphernalia of chisels,
wedges, jimmies, and raws.
WHBBB ABB TUB POLICB?
As an offset to the Iguominlous defiance thus
bidden to the entire police force, a member of
that mild dispobitioned and blue-cjated body
positively succeeded In the capture of a noto
rious professional known among his brethren as
"SWKBT 80BNTED FLOWBRS."
The idlosjncracy of "Sweet Scented Flowers,"
otherwise George Williams, is that he is always
remarkably well dressed, and bears about with
him a fragrance so fine and taint that nothing
lives 'twixt It and odorlessness.
The offense of "Sweet Scented" consists In
having robbed a stage passenger, name! Dr
John H. Douglas, of a diamond pin valued at
$350. It is in vain that George puts in the plea
ot belDg a clerk on a visit to the metropolis. lie
is known to the police, who are congratulating
each other upon bringing him into closer
acquaintanceship with thcoi.
TLe new place of amusement known as
"TUB TAMMANY"
is announced to positively open on the evening
of Wednesday, Dec. 30. Mr. Leonard Grover
means to astonish the town, and if the suscepti
bility to astonishment survives here, he will
astonish It. lie has engaged more than one
hundred performers, and has included In one
evening's entertainment a, great variety of
amusements. Of all which I shall write an
elaborate description, after having seen and
heard them. Ali Baba.

NEW Y0RKISM8.
from Our Own Correspondent.
New York, Dec. 28, 18G8.
THOU SHALT MOT COMMIT ADULTERATION
ought to have been Introduced into the Decalogue
as a moral and Mosaic semi-tone. It would not
have bad much deterring influence, perhaps,
upon the grocery and provision dealers of New
York, but it would have enabled adulteration to
be regarded as a peculiar and distinct crime.
For, according to the Wor'd newspaper, this
crime has, In New Tork, been carried to Its
utmost verge. The evil called for redress; the
readers of the Wor'd called for sensation; the
proprietors of the World provided sensation In
appointing a reporter.afias a "commissioner," to
Visit the groceries In certain parts of the city,
to purchase coffee, sugar, tea, apices, etc., and
to have them subsequently weighed by the test
scales of the official luspector, and subjected to
the chemical analyses of Frolessor Seely.
A commotion has therefore spread through
New York and Brooklyn. It is discovered that
atones are sold to us for coah; that ground peas
are the last of the adulterated evils which de
Bcend to us in coffee; that mouldy sblp'i-blscalt
is a large ingredient of oar tea; and that oar
tpices variously consist of "middlings," cayenne
pepper, brown sea bread, common plaster,
Ittrineric, yellow ochre, Venetian red, ivory
black, peas, beans, etc.
An explosion at tub Olympic theateb,
Vfbere Humpty Dumpty has been on the boards
for seveial hundred bights, was the occasion, on
Saturday night, of considerable hubbub in front
of the house. ...
The explosion was caused by an escape of gas
from the vault underneath the pavement. Only
one man, tne gasman of the theatre, was hurt
In his endeavors to ascertain the cause, and he
was only singed about the eyebrows. The out
break occurred about 6 o'clock in the evening.
But about half past 9, when tbe theatre was fall
the gas company sent a squad of men down to
tear up a portion of the pavement over the vault
and see that no danger re. sited.
I am glad that the splendid ellllac! of
Sirs. Scott-sllddons as " Beatrice.''
Last evening Mrs. Scott- Slddona commenced
a re-engagement at the Academy of Muslo, and
appeared as "BeVrlce" In Shakespeare's
comedy of Much A.do About Nothing. An au
dience which would nave appeared large at one
of tbe theatres waa in alleudanoe. and an evi
dent disposition waa shown to give the lady
every enconragement. Tbe press of the city Is
nearly unanimous with regard to the merits as
well as tbe defects of Mrs. Slddons, and her
status as an actress being thus fixed, the publlo
v 111 know what to expeot la visiting Her per
formances and the critics can afford to praise
ber good qnafltles unreservedly without fear of
being misunderstood.
Mrs. Slddons decidedly improves on ac
quaintance, aud as we remarked la our first
notice, her prepossessing personal appearanoe
attraoilve manners, and animated style will
make her a favorite In spite of ber deficiencies
as an artiste. "Beatrice," like "Rosalind," is a
charaoter that requires abilities of a high order
for a successful interpretation. The actresses
who have obtained celebrity In these roles oan
be counted on the fingers, and they all stand
or have stood at the top of their profession; and
In witnessing Mrs. Slddons' personations ltls
Impossible not to make a mental comparison
of ber aeting with that of her predecessors. We
were better pleased with, Mrs. Slddons'
Beatrice" than we were with ber "Rosalind."
Her elocution was better, although
still decidedly fanlty, but she appeared to try
and apeak her sentences with Just emphasis
Instead of alnglng them. The Immaturities of
style aud manner of which we have spoken
were also decidedly apparent, but Mrs. Sld
dons' conception of the part was good, and
there was a brightness and sparkle about her
acting which went far towards redeeming her
most palpable deficiencies. Mrs. Slddons is
ambitious, or she would not attempt the line of
characters that she does, and she has fine abili
ties, or she would fall In spite of her handsome
faoe and engaging manners; and If we deoline
to consider her as a thorough artist at this
time, we are not without hope that she will
become one when she shall have passed her
novitiate. Some of the passages last night were
exceedingly well rendered, as for Instance the
scene wbere "Beatrice" banters the masked
Benedick," and In the fourth aot, where her
womanly sympathies are aronsed by the accu
sation against "Hero," and with all the ener
gies of ber nature she protests that her cousin
is Innocent. Her little love soene with "Bene
dick," after the sad wedding party bad de
parted, and her inciting him to challenge
"Claudlo," were also excellent
In fine, Mrs. Slddons has decided talents o
ber own, which, if properly cultivated, will
render it unnecessary for her to rely upon ber
great grandmother's reputation, and If she will
discourage the style of puffing that has been
adopted in her case, and resolve to win the
battle with fortune ou her own merits, she. will
be much more likely to succeed.
The play last evening was creditably acted
throngbout, and Mr. Harklns, In particular, is
entitled to very decided praise for bis persona
tlon of "Benedick." In nothing that we have
seen this gentleman do has be shown the same
amount of ability. The part is one that aotors
of more reputation than Mr. Harklns have
failed In, and we are therefore tbe more lnollned
lo commend him for a bold, dashing, and very
effective piece ot acting. Mr.' Ilarttlni intro
duced some new readings whlcU soaroely Im
proved upon the aocepied text cspeulully as
they were evidently adopted on the spur Of the
moment to assist a defective memory. Mr.
Davldge's "Dogberry" was good, bat not equal
to bis "Touobsione." ,

In sucb a gilt as a ton, even mors or less, of coal
there is a merit which makes It doubly laterestlng to
tbe recipient, thousands of dollars are to-day being
wasted on trifles, which, If but turned to soon good
account by stocking some deserving poor man's
cellar with Alter's coal, would greatly ameliorate

such a kind act, not only to the poor, bit to Alter him
