nUBll'AI ACTIO PnAWATIC.
"Thf MnrqiiU at he hennut.
Tfie Martini; or, the False and theTrue, which
was produced at the Chesnnt Street Theatre
last evening, before a large and appreciative
audience, Is an adaptation from the French of
Vlctorlen Sardou, by Mrs. K. Edwards Lewis of
this city. The language and situations of the ori
ginal have been changed in a number of rlaces,
and the last act Is almost entirely the pioduc
tlon of Mrs. Lewis, so that the piece Is substan
tially a new one, based upon Sardou's model,
and the American dramatist Is entitled to much
of the credit for such merits as It possesses.
The Mannis Is a French melodrama of the bet
ter class: that is, it is picturesque and Impossible,
but entertaining In spite of, or perhaps because
of, its extravagance. It Is to be compared with
uch pieces as The Corsican Brothers and Pau
line rather than with such ns Frou-Frou
or Fcrnande, and if extravagant in Us
plot and Incidents, it at least has the
merit of not being vulgar, as too many of the
old-fashioned bloody melodramas are. The plot
is considerably involved, and contains a proper
proportion of the deep mystery and the despe
rate villainy without which such a play would
be worth nothing. There is a Marquis who is
supposed to have been assassinated; his son,
wb has disappeared from the sight and know
ledge of his relatives; another Marquis who
mourns the loss of a brother and a nephew, but,
nevertheless, finds time to attend to his toilet;
a villain who had attempted to assassinate Mar
quis No. 1: a fair lady with whom all the male
characters in the play are in love, and a variety
of subordinate personages who aid in unravel
ling the intricacies of the plot, which turns upon
the attempt of the heavy villain, ''Count d'Al
vimar, ' to gain the hand of the heroine, "Laura
de Belle," and the frustration of an attempt on
his part to compel her to acceyt him by Intru
ding into ber chamber at night, through the in
tervention of "Mario," the lost heir, and
his father, the supposcd-to-be-assasslnated
"Marquis." who appears upon the
ecene under the name of "Edgar," as the leader
of a band of musicians who attend upon the
festivities of the Chateau de Biant on the occa
sion of the heroine, "Laura de Belle," choosing a
husband, which she is compelled to do by the
will of her father, at a certain hour on a certala
day, or elf e be disinherited. The fair "Laura"
fixes her affections upon "Edgar," in spite of his
Bupposed humble birth, and the "Count d'Alvl
mar" is of course highly enraged, and is, more
over, vexed because his nobility will not permit
him to cross swords with a plebeian. Ills fight
ing proclivities are gratified, however, by dis
covering that "Kdgar" is his equal In rank, but
before the hostile meeting comes off, the old
Marquis "Frederick" encounters D'Alvlmar" and
disarms him. but spares his life. "Edgar" then
proclaims himself to be the lost Marquis of Bols
Dore, and renounces "D'Alvlmar" for having
attempted his assassination. The villain, furious
at being unmasked, draws his sword and rushes
upon "Edgar," but is satisfactorily killed before
he does any damage, and then all goes as "merry
as a marriage-bell."
The plot of the drama is ingenious and enter
taining, and there are a number of highly dra
matic situations, while each act concludes with
an effective tableau. The performance last eve
ning was in many respects creditable: but jus
tice was scarcely done the piece, owing to the
Injudicious manner in which several of the
characters were cast. "Edgar," the leading part,
was either not understood or it was very care
lessly played by Mr. Thorne, who made very
little rise of a number of fine opportunities
offered him for vigorous and picturesque acting.
This part, in the play as written, is one of con
siderable strength, but as performed by Mr.
Thorne it was almost of secondary importance,
and failed to make the impression it should
have done. The heavy villain "D'Alvlmar,"
another first rate acting character, was entirely
out of Mr. Metkiff's line, and it did not receive
the justice it would have done at the hands of
a more energetic actor. The success of the
piece depended in a very large measure upon
the proper presentation of these two parts, and
it is to be regretted that they were not better
done. Miss Glover, who personated "Laura
de Belle," was scarcely forcible enough, but
otherwise her performance was worthy of com
mendation. The best effort was decidedly that
of Mrs. Davenport, who sustained the character
of the boy "Mario" in a remarkably artistic
manner, and in effect made it the leading role.
Mr. Phillips is also entitled to commendation
for an excellent representation of the old
Marquis "Frederick."
The Marquis was placed upon the stage in
creditable style, and it was costumed with
much elegance and good taste. It achieved a
fair amount of success last evening, the strong
points being readily recognized by the audience,
and with more vigorous representatives of the
two principal male characters than it had last
evening, it will make an excellent stock piece
for occasional production.

Cincinnati, April 7 A special to the Times,
from Oxford, says no lives were lost by the
burnlrjg of the Western Female College. Three
young ladies, named Goodfellow, Badard, and
Wilson, ,were severely hurt by leaping from tha
second-story window. The building was Insured
for $75.C0O, which will rebuild It.
There were one hundred and seventy-five in
mates In the building at the time of the catas
trophe. During the early morning hours the
village presented a sorrowful spoctacle; some of
tbe young girls had lost nearly everything in
the shape of personal clothing; while others
were wandering aboat with a scanty supply of
apparel, with no relatives to sympathize with
them, and almost wholly dependent on com
parative strangers for board and lodging.
The liberality of the place was, however,
equal to the occasion.

Albinv, April 7. The books of the concern
and valuables from the safe, and most of the
law, medical, legislative, and miscellaneous
volumes Issued by the house, and on the first
floor, were removed in safety; but, with these
exceptions, it was found impossible to save any
thing from the sudden ruin. Over three hun
dred people are thrown out of employment,

Tbe Chamber of Chamber Committee for the
relief of the suffering population of Frauce
held a meeting this afternoon. Charles H.
Marshall, chairman, stated that in consequents
of speculation In provisions entered into after
France was reopened to commerce,
and the euddon Influx of sup
plies previously purchased by the Govern
ment for its use, as soon as communications
should be restored, there is now, superabun
dant tood supply in the country.
Reports from the committee s agents abroad
state that in Paris there has been considerable
waste of perishable articles, and that at Havre
and other points there was no sale for either pro
visions or breadstuff's.
Nevertheless there is still much suffering
among the people, especially in places where,
for want of sufficient means of transportation,
relief can only be sent in tbe form of money.
For tbese reasons it has been found desirable to
convert into cash the supplies already sent out
by the committee, as well as those still remain
ing on hand in this city awaiting transportation.
A resolution was adopted authorizing the Ex
ecutive Committee to take that course, and
another directing the publication of a detailed
report of the proceedings of the Relief Com
mittee. The Broad Axe is the quaint title of a paper
published at Cleversburg, Pa. It should have
been called the Cleversburg Cleaver.
Postage stamps of the denomination of
seven cents have been issued by the Govern
ment. Tbey are deMgned especially to prepay
letters to Germany, seven cents beiug the rate
to tLat country.
A farmer in Alameda, Cal., reports that he
has carefully compared tbe seasons of Central
America and Mexico with those of California
for tbe past fifteen years, and that he has found
that tbey are very much alike, and that the wet
season of tbose southern countries precedes that
of California some time, and is a criterion by
which to judge tbe latter. If-their rains are
scanty and late, or tbe contrary, the same, he
ays, is the case In California.
