Fbench Opeba.— The rain prevented a very large attendance at the matlnfie on Sa turday. Even the stockholders were, mauy of them, kept away, and though the barrier was removed, the general public hesitated about crossing the line, fearing they might be suspected of belonging to the Fatal Five Hundred. The consequence was that four or five.of the best rows of seats were vacant, and the singers had to sing over the blank and chilling space. Still, they did well, and The Grown Diamonds was song and acted with great brilliancy. It is one of AubePs most charming works, and will be sure to attract a large audience in fature visits of this excellent company. One of these visits may be , expected in the course of a fort night. The Obatobio of “Elijah,” by Men delssohn, will be performed by the Handed and Haydn Society, at their first concert o ! the season,'on Thursday evening, in the Academy of Music. The solo parts will d sung, as they were last season, by Miss Alexander, Miss McCaffrey, Dr. Guilmette and Mr. Simpson. The splendid chorus of the Society and a fine orchestra, led by Carl Sentz, will assist. The Angels’Trio will be sung by three boys, choristers of St. Mark’s Church, who have been well trained by Mr. Pearce, the organist. There can be no doubt of a vast audience to hear this glorious oratorio. Mb. Chables H. Jabvis will give the first classical matinCe of his fifth season, oh Thursday next, at 4 o’clock, in the Foyer of the Academy of Mnsio. Beethoven’s Sonata, for piano and violincello (opus 69), will be played by Mr. Jarvis and Mr- Schmitz; and Mendelssohn’s trio, (opns 66) by Messrs, Jarvis, Gaertner and Schmitz. Mr, Jarvis and Mr, Gaertner will also each play a solo. The Fibst Symphony Concert of the subscription series organized by Messrs.

Ristobi and her dramatic company arrived in this city last night, and this even ing they appear at the Academy of Music in the tragedy of Medea. There is every prospect of a large audience, not only this evening, but throughout the engagement. To-morrow evening Mary Stuart will be played, and on Wednesday evening Elisa belta. The manager has requested ns to ad vise all who .go to these performances to be present and in their seats before eight o’clock, so as not to disturb actors and au ditors by coming in after the play has began.

AMUSEMENTS. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10,1866, LATER FROM MEXICO. Interview with Officers of Maximilian's Government—What they Say of the ; Condition of the Country—The Imperial Farce Near the Close .—What the Mexicans Think of Gen. Sherman’s Mission —Singular Stories About the French and Austrian Offi cials—The Colony of Southern Ex iles Broken Up. [From to-daj'a N. Y. Times.] Yesterday evening we had an interview with a number of gentlemen, Austrians by birth, who arrived in thisi city by the steamer Manhattan, from Vera Cruz, late Saturday evening, on their way to Europe. They were all of them, some directly and some indirectly, in the employ of Archduke Maximilian’s Imperial Government of Mexico, and bring some very sad, some very amusing, and some very interesting tales. Among them are Mr. Joseph VVirth, a railroad contractor on the. line of road from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico; Mr, Alphonse Beskocbka, a civil engineer; Messrs. Michael Kernel, Albert SOba deberg and Stanislaus Sabiz, officers of Max’s “Imperial Guard,” and Mr. F. Braudstaedttr, a topographic draughtsman. Mr. Joseph Werner, formerly general agent of the above-mentioned railroad at Puebla de los Angeies.and for a time c-.ahier for the same company at Orizaba, also gav6 us some interesting information,though he had given the cold shonlder to the “Empire of Mexico” several months ago, and resided for some weeks in this country. Without vouching for everything that these gentle men have told ns, we‘give their tale in a connected form, and as near as possible in their own words. They say that the further continuance of the Imperial farce is an utter impossibility, though Maximilian still clings to the belief that the complete anarchy which he expects will follow his exit from . Mexico, in conse quence of the rivalries of contending parti sans and military chiefs, may yet create a strong party favoring his recall. He is said to think himself personally popular,and be seems now to hope that the clergy and the clerical party generally would yet find means to turn matters in his favor. With this belief and hope, our informants say, Maximilian though contemplating a speedy retreat from Mexican territory, has a place to be put in readiness for him at Havana, where he is. said to expect to remain for some time, awaiting, like Micawber, for “something to turn np” that may bring him his imperial purple. Daring his stay at Havana, we are also told, he proposes to make a tour under a strict incognita through the United States, of which country he is a great admirer. He often expresses his wish to see the North American Republic and its people, whom he often called the greatest practical people of the world. Yet, however strong his own hopes may be, it seems that his brother, the ; Emperor of Austria, does not share them, and did not do so quite a longtime since,for, as Mr. Werner informed ns, Capt. Nante and Lieut. Graves, of the Austrian frigate Dandolo, lying in the harbor of Vera Cruz, told him nearly a year ago that their vessel had been specially sent there to bring Max safely back to Trieste or Miramar. Neither is the trust which Maximilian puts in his assumed personal popularity or that of the Duchess Charlotte, as we are told, well founded. Maximilian, soon after he arrived in Mexico, lost ground with a!l parties. He must have had a very imper fect knowledge of tbp character of tbe Mex icans and of the prominent characteristics of the partisan- life of their political and military leaders, for he made it his avowed object to conciliate and unite all parties, and to make of the Mexicans a congruous and homogeneous people. A nation torn by continuous revolutionary strife for over forty years,fall of petty chiefs aspiring to supreme command, cannot very easily be made to forego its habit of plnnging almost yearly into renewed revolution and anarchy. This was the great stumbling-block, and it required more statesmanship and wiser dis crimination than Maximilian apparently possessed to remove it from his path: The Mexicans themselves appear to recognize this defect in the Archduke, for they declare that, like a young maiden surrounded by fiattering admirers, he coquetted with all parties and thereby lost the support and favor of all. Even the Church, a clerical party, . whose support he still hopes will carry him hack to the .throne, is not nnanimons in his favor; and at the depar ture of our informants from . Mexico, they say it was a publio secret that a large and the most influential portion of the clericals bad offered Miramon—lately re turned to Mexico—a subsidy of from, six to eight millions of dollars,if he would assnme the reins of Government and continue the war against the Jnarists and the Liberals. Bnt all parties, even those hostile to him from the beginning, give him just credit for good intentions. He eschewed state pomp, dressed like a Mexican, and .was the most laborious man of his “Government.” They say, however, than he spent his time and labor on unimportant matters of detail, and was unable to comprehend and direct the grand whole of what h 6 talked about as his: “mission.” ’ When the Manhattan sailed from Vera Cruz, Maximilian was still at Orizaba, al most a prisoner, under the surveillance' of Marshal Bazaine’s officers. He had, up; to that time, declined to abdicate, so it was reported at,Vera Cruz, though it is gene rally believed that his remaining, in Mexico any longer iB entirely out .of,, the question. In' faot, the authority of , the Imperial Government _ and every semblance; of, respect for it is hardly to be found any where.; Even in the only'four cities —Mexico,-Puebla,Orizaba and Vera Cruz— where the empire is still maintained by the French garrisons and:Austrian or Belgian volunteer corps, the Imperial l Government is a mere name, the Prefects oaring very little for the orders or decrees of the Em peror, obeying, from fear of force; the French officers in command. ‘; Maximilian basdischarged his entire “Imperial Guard,” of which, as we have stated above, three of our informants were officers. He also dis missed nearly the whole staff of his house hold, retaining but few. Most of these have already left for Europe direct hi English and French steamers. The “Empress” Cariotta is said to have OURmaOIE COUNTRY, been a well-intentioned lady, completely be holden by the conviction that she had a*“sa ered mission” intrusted to her by Providence for , tb e of Mexico. Yet, thou-h amiable and condescending in her personal intercourse, she was hanghty, proud and domineering, qualities which her consort CQnld not be accused of; and thus while possessing great energy and more than or dinary mental capaoity, she could never reach even that limited degree of popnlaritv which Max for a time enjoyed. The departure of Mr. Campbell, Ameri can Minister to tbe Government of Presi dent Juarez, accompanied by such a distin gmshed military hero as General Sherman, lor their destination, is said to have made a profound impression in Mexico. The na- Uve Mexicans, so the gentlemen named re port, hate the “Yankees” like deadly. poi son. They, we are told, fear some grand scheme of annexation, and in the event that anything looking to the realization of their fears should be attempted, would, all par ties never bo hostile to each other, unite? to oppose and, if possible, to expel tbe “rapa cious invader from tbe North,” This may be so, or it may be, as probably .y®t merel y the ■wish, which is so often father to the thought,” of onr Austrian fnesds, who found their Mexican career so suddenly and so unpleasantly brought to a close, and all in. consequence of the fixed of the American people and tbeurm stand taken by our Government against the creation of a Mexican empire under the influence and even the lash of the French Emperor. Be that as it may, me give this piece of information imparted to us for what it is worth. Some interesting details of the way in which French and Austrian officers of the European props of the “Empire” continue to “turn a penny”—and, as it seems, not a very honest one—into their pockets, are worth detailing. Frenchmen generally, it is knowD, lead a gay life, and matrimonial ties among them are not very rigidly ob served. Nearly every French officer of a higher grade, even np to General, had his mistress with him. The salary was rather meagre, and some other means had to be re sorted to, to provide the necessary money required for a “double establishment.” Their method to do this was Boon found. Among the “stores’ ’ for the French army, brought- to Vera Cruz and landed duty free, wdre silks and lace 3 and bonnets, and other articles of dry goods and milli nery. Tbe mistresses of the officers opened “stores” and “dressmakers’ shops”and thus not only supported themselves but even their paramours. The Austrians were not behind them. They traded in Hungarian and French wines. -The Chief of the “Em peror’s” household even publicly kept a wine store at the city or Mexico, where, as malicious people said, he'was selling at high prices the wines imported for the “Empe ror’s” household. ' • To show the complete demoralization of the “Empire” and its surroundings, ofir in formant told ns that it is nothing very re markable pow-a-days that when the Btage from Vera Cruz arrives at Mexico its pas sengers are in a perfect state of nudity, hav ing been deprived of every valuable and every Bbred of habiliment by robbers or guerillas on the way. The native army, of fifty thousand men, which Maximilian in tended forming, consisted mainly of Austrian, Belgian and French, the small proportion of Mexicans that en tered it deserting almost as soon as re cruited. As an example of the insecurity to life and property in that ill-fated coun try, it may be stated that while Mr. Werner was acting as cashier of the Vera Cruz and Mexico railroad at Orizaba, the French commandant of the city, Col. Delavigne, kindly advised htm not to venture out or the principal part of the town, norat all after dark. In connection with this railroad we might also mention the fact that its management was the cause of the virtual banishment of Lient. Maury from Mexico. Maury having been appointed Commission er of Emigration and Colonization, had his eye fixed on promotion and wished to supplant the Mexican Gen. Robles as Min ister of Colonization and Publio Works. I n the affairs of this railway company a deficit was discovered of £72,000 sterling, and it was instantly charged by Maury and his adherents that this money bad found its way into the pockets of Robles to render him blind to the many malpractices of the railway officials, whose labors it was his duty to watch and oversee, as Maximilian's public treasury was largely contributing toward the enterprise. The intrigue was timely detected and exposed and Maury “graciously permitted to depart.” The colony of Southern exiles at Cordova, under the leadership of Generals Price and Magruder, is also broken np. They are said to have demanded the grant of ex tended privileges from Maximilian, which he refused, and many who trusted ’to the fair promises of these two leaders lost not only their fortune, hut even their health, and some their lives. All bnsiness, onr informants report, is at an utter stand still. There is nothing doing, and no one has confidence in his neighbor. This distrust manifests itself even in social life, as all intercourse between families is suspended, each one looking out for and trusting only in himself. This is a sad picture-of life in Mexico. Bnt whether true or not in all its details, we give it as it came to us from those who certainly ought to know.

Herald. 1 St - Anthony, Minn., Dec. 3, 156t>.—The monotony of our auiet little town has been corsiderably disturbed of late, by dis coveries of a most curions and remarkable nature, which have been made within a few days past in our mjdst They are of so singular a character-us to be beyond the pale of eredence In the mindsof almost every one who has not been a witness to the facts in the case; but they are vouched for by citizens of such known respectability and veracity, that the genuineness of the state ments in regard to them is placed beyond a doubt A Mr. Reuben Nesmith, who lives in a small house near the German Catholic church,had occasion to go down in the cellar on the evening of the Ist inst, to arrange a place for his winter stock of potatoes, which he had been hauling that day from his farm, about two miles beyond Manomin. While engaged in putting together a temporary bin, and while digging to make room for the timber used in constructing it,his shovel came in contact with a plate of iron, which after being cleared of earth proved to be a trap door,which was secured by a curiously wrought lock,with heavy bolts running into a stone beneath. It was so much corroded by rust that a little pressure with a crowbar caused the plate to give way,and upon taking it up an opening was discovered, beneath which a spiral stone staircase led down into the earth. Before venturing down this stair case Mr. Nesmith communicated the fact of its discovery to his brother-in-law, Mr. Lu ther Chamberlain, and having prooured a lantern, the two proceeded to descend, and alter going down one hundred and twenty three steps, they found themselves in a nar row horizontal passage, dug in the white sand, which, as every one familiar with the geological formation of the banks of the Upper Mississippi knows, underlies a strata of limestone. Proceeding along the passage a distance of about seventy five leet, they emerged into a spacious arti ficial cave, also excavated in thin white sand. This cave was of an oblong form, and leading out of it were several smaller ante-chambers, all of which- gave signs of having been at some former day occupied as depositories of some kind. Iron and copper implements, of a rough kind of workmanship, were found scattered about, some of them evidently having been used for excavating purposes, others for cooking utensils, the marks of fire being observable on the latter. On entering one of the small ante chambers a number of rnde seats were found and upourone side of the room an elevated platform, upon which stood a roughly hewn stone, something like the reading desk of an Episcopal church. On the wall behind this desk, on either side of a colossal human figure, in has relief, very curious hiero glyphics were found traced in the white sand, and an ornamental tracery of pecu liar design covered the other three sides; of the chamber. Inthenextapartment a sortof stone sarchophagus was found, upon the top of which was laid an immense rock, firmly cemented to the bnrial case, and which re quired the united exertions of four mea to remove. This being done, a human skele ton was found underneath, the bones of which crumbled to powder immediately upon exposure to the air. Several copper and iron rings were found in the sarcopha gus, as also a curious silver ornament, oc tagonal in shape, and carved in unintelligi ble characters, some of whioh corresponded with those upon the wall of the apartment a box e referred to. - . A third chamber was much larger in ex tent than the others, and the ceiling was very much like an inverted funnel in shape, directly under, the apex of which was a large cube-shaped stoae, whioh was stained with marks of fire and some other dark substance, and a deposit of hardened ashes lay around it upon the ground. It was evi dently used as a sacrificial altar, and this theory seems to be confirmed by the faot that an aperture large enough to admit the body of -a man opens from this apartment mto a smaller one, the floor of which is be low. that of the.other rooms, and whioh' is covered with a limy powder apparently the ashes of hones, whether human or other wise oannot be ascertained. On continuing their explorations the party found an iron plate door, which easily gave way upon a K. 1. EETHERSTON. PnbM^. DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS. ajittle pressure, and a passage-way alssut three feet in height and largeenongU for ana person to pass In a stooping posture, was discovered. Mr. Nesmith and isisr brothers in-law followed this passage way; -which led' in a somewhat circuitous direction to theviv cinity of the river. This is proved by the sound of water washing upon the shore, which may be distinctly heard at the end of 1 this passage way,the oliter opening'to which has apparently been filled up fronff’thc in side with broken rocks, and through’tfaa in terstices of which fresher air than that of the cave can be felt blowing at times. The whole affair is a mystery: thtrreiics found are not at all aboriginal in character, and may have been the work of a people existing long before even these prgi'nes were the hunting grounds of theludihn. Copies of the hieroglyphics have been cave fnlly transcribed and forwarded to so me‘of thensoat learned arch aologiats offcheEastersi and si-Is hoped that they msy'bM' able te obtain some clue as to the origibandt use of these remarkable relics. - We stand that the State Historical Society has made Mr. Nesmith a very, liberal offer for' tnem. in the meantime bur little towa-' is all agog as to the discoveries* and hundreds - o| people havevisited the house of ME Nesmith to see these remarkable antiawr ties. We trust the Historical Society .may be able to secure them as a most interaatiag addition to their small bat valuable collet tion^ cwmMebdial.
