The play was an Italian version of Schiller s Mary Sluart, and it is hard to conceive of anything more perfect than the great actress’s representation of the unhap py queen. Criticism is at fault and mere praise cannot do j ustice to her genius as ex hibited in the play. In most of the scenes tenderness and sadness are the prevailing emotions expressed. But in the.thlrd act, in the interview with Queen Elizabeth, there are several bursts of passion that are mag nificent. The sudden look of repugnance and horror, when she is first about tothrow herself at Elizabeth’s feet, was snperb and thrilling. At the close of the act she re proaches the daughter of Anna Boleyn, and in a grand passage] exclaims, “II trono d'lnghilterra e profanato d'una bastarda,’’ with look, gesture and voice that are super latively fine. The scenes preceding the execution, in the last act, though totally different, are equally fine. But it is idle to attempt a description of them, or to single out any particular pointßin the performance. The audience were repeatedly aroused to extraordinary enthusiasm, and after each act in whichshe appeared, Mine. Ristori was vociferously called for. She was very weli sustained, and the performance of Mme. Cottin, in the ungrateful part of “Elizabeth,” was deserv ing of especial praise. This evening Mme. Ristori appears in the play of “Elisabetta,” which has created an extraordinary sensa tion, and the desire to see her in it is so great that there is a certainty of a larger audience than has yet been assembled. Foyer of the Academy.— On Friday, at 4i P. M., Mr. Wolfsohn will give his second piano forte matinfie, when he will have the valuable assistance of Herr Poliak, who made such a favorable debut at the first coneert. This artist will sing a number of rare and interesting German songs, the interpretation of which seems to be so diffi cult with ordinary singers. Mr. Wolfsohn will perform his own beautiful “Album Leaves,” Sonata by Weber, Impromptu by Mendelssohn, and Fantasia bv Chopin. This is a more modern and popular pro gramme than the first, and doubtless will give increased delight to all students of the piano. [For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) Freedmen’s Commission. In the latter part of the admirable report report in Monday’s Bulletin of the meet ingin aid of the Freedmen held atSLLuke’s Church, the previous evening, in behalf of which General Howard spoke, the writer has inadvertently fallen into an error in re gard to the name of-the association. This would be of little importance had he not hit upon that borne by another society in this city. Instead of being the •‘Penn sylvania Branch of the Freedmen’s Aid Society,’ it is the Pennsylvania Branch of the Freedmen’s Commission of the Protest ant Episcopal Church. The office of the society is in the Episcopal Rooms, 708 Wal nut street, where some of the officers of the society are in daily attendance from 12 to 1 o’clock, to furnish information in regard to its design.

Any worshipper in the Protestant Episco pal Church may become a member of thw society, by paying one dollar annually, and will receive a copy of a monthly publication reporting the work of the association and its claims upon the sympathies and liberality of the Church.

[Correspondence of the New Vork World.! Boston, Bee. lI,—A most grave and ex citing - report obtains wide currency here to-night. A Fenian privateer is stated to have successfully eluded Federal vigilance and to have sailed from Newburyport seve ral days ago, the last of last week, on the way to the Irish coast The vessel in ques tion is alleged to be the schooner Estelle, of some 700 tons burden, and is said to be arm ed with the most improved distinctive ord nance suited in calibre to that of the vessel, with a nfled 68-pound pivot gun aft and to contain a picked crew of more than 200 men. who have seen service on our iron-dads during the recent war. Her officers are as follows: r C°mm»n<)lng-John B. Burke; First Devejenx; Second Lieutenant fiMnnM Jones; Balling Master-Peter Oarey; onrgsoo 1-Dr. Edward H. Perkins; Assistant Surkeon—Dr H p Scorel: Sailing Master—James Miles; Bc&tßwatn -r»,<Jweil Taylor; Quartermaster—Haight Tabor: ChlefG unuer—Martin Kerwln; Gunner’s Mates—An drew O’Neill and Patrick Lynch. Lieut Burke was a master’s mate in the navy during the war, and distinguished himßelfat Roanoke and off Mobile. Of his assistants, Lieutenant Devereux, served on the ram Tennessee, while Lieutenant oamnel Jones was at one time gunner’s mate on the famous Alabama. The other officers have all “seen service” in both the Federal and confederate navies, while Mar tin Kerwin, chief gnnner, served for some time m that capacity on Her Majesty’s frigate Terrible, and is said to be an unusu alJy accomplished officerinhis peculiar line. The Fenian offidals here state that before leaving for Ireland, O. O. I. R. Stephens is sued letters of marque and reprisal to the Estelle, to capture, burn, sink or destroy any English vessels ont of neutral waters (hat she may enoonnter, and Capt. Burke announced his intention of making the At lantic too hot for a British ship. It is de clared that the incoming Cnnara steamer is to be captured at all hazards, and to that end the Estelle has sailed directly in the track of the expected vessel Others will follow as chance offers, and it is the purpose to detach a portion of the arms and men on the Estelle to the first most available Eng lish craft captured and thus improvise another privateer. Halifax, N, 8., 35ec. ll.—The sudden de partureyesterday of the Wolverine man-of war, under sealed orders, has given, rise to a variety of snrmises and strange rumors, the one approaching nearest to truth being that she has sailed in search of a Fenian priva teer, reported by the British Consul in Sew Yorkas having recently left a United States port for parts unknown. Accident, Escape and Remarkable !t oc^ A S?-“® a ..?f ida y. 6 WDing last, says the Media Advertiser, about fifteen minutes past five, Thomas O’Bryan and Thomas Anderson, both residents of Briggsville near Media, and both workmen on the West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad niet with an accident which threatened the ufe of one and severely injured the other. They had completed their day’s work, at the bank near Walker’s coal yard,and were nastily returning the hand car to Bancroft’s sidling, about half a mile distant. O’Bryan was turning the handle of the car very rapidly, and had reached the deep embankment opposite PJayford’s sprint: house, when the wind blew his coat against the handle, which it caught throwing him out, his head striking th 4 track, completly lying bare the skull for six inches, and leaving a gaping wound two inches wide. He was thrown in front or the car, the wheel of which struck his right side ct ushrog ail of the right ribs. The sudden stoppage also threw Anderson out, his head striking soft ground; bnt he received some lDjuriesin the thigh. The car was thus wedged between the tracks, and the train due Media at 5.25 was coming, the embank- ? le . nt , a , t . “ e P lace of accident is of thirty reet fall, beybnd which is a curve, and without the removal of this car inevitable destruction and loss of life seemed to await the approaching train and its passengers. We have already described' O Bryan s wounds—-the blood was stream mg down bis face from the ghastly gash in his head, his side was painful, but with un equaled courage and nerve, he aided Ander son to throw the car from the track—a load equal to the heft of four men—and then fell exhausted and senseless* The approaching tram passed, and its many passengers could neither then know nor appreciate the high senee or duty, the remarkable strength and nerve that saved,them from a fate the Idea of which is sufficiently appalling. Ander eon, who about • and doing well, soon procured help for his comrade, and he was carried to bis homeat Briggsville, and it is hoped by Dr. SohoU, the attending physi cian, that O’Bryan will recover. We have ittver before recorded a case where a man under such painful oiroumstances, so un selfishly remembered his duty and the danger which threatened others, and yet so courageously performed it. O’Bryan has a wife and several children dependent upon his labor for and this accident is (he cause of mnen loss and bereavement to them. , Treaties with Indian Tribes.— Some years ago, Congress Inserted a clause in one of the Appropriation bills, empowering the President to negotiate treaties with various Indian tribes in Kansas, with the view of disposing of their residences without the limits thereof, or of any organized Territory or otherwise, in wbat is known or termed the »^Sl'H 1 Territory, south of Kansas and west of Missouri and Arkansas. To carry out this arrangement, delegations, not exceed ing two fiom each of the tribes, have been invited to Washington with, the idea of con summating measures for their removal from that State, and their emigration to the Indian country. The tribes icontemplated to be affected by this are the following, namely; The Sacs and Foxes, Chippewas j^ uris ® 6a i Pottowattamies, Delawares and Mlamies.Peanhaskaws, Meas, Kaska sheasand_Peorias, Kickapobs, Shawnees, Ottawas, Wyandotte and Osages. A Shawnee delegation, representatives- of ®? e . purt of that tnbe,;in whioh there is a division, is now here, having heard of what was in contemplation. They had an inter view with the Commissioner of Indian Af fairs to-day, in which they were assured of the favorable disposition of the Government towards all, the tribes. - They were, also pre sented with a copy of the instructions fur nished to the Commissioners to visit the In dian tribes of KaEßas, The Commissioner is anxionß for these tribes to await the ulti mate deoision of the Government upon the arrangements which are in progress for* their future go«d condition, j OTJB WHOLE COUNTRY.
