(Correspondence of rho Philsselphis, Evening lla Palm, Tuesday, Oct. 27, 1868.—Yen will learn by telegraph that, as I predicted in my lasi, the example set by America has not been lost on Europe; and that France, and England, and Por tugal (the latter perhaps aided by a hint from Mr. Harvey) have recognized the new condition of things in Spain, and resumed diplomatic relations with the Provisional Government of that country. The act might have been completed more promptly; but "better late than never." The principle of the national sovereignty and its absolute supremacy over all merely perlonal and dynastic titles and pre.. tensions has thus been once more solemnly vindicated and affirmed in the face of Eurepe. "Ce n'est que le premierpas qui coute. That princi ple, once consecrated,must inevitably, in the end, prove tho death-blow of the monarchical prin ciple. It is only a question of time and fitness. Napoleon was at least half right when he affirmed that 'within another half' century Europe" would be either Cossack or Republican. There cannot now be much doubt which of the two alternatives id working out its completion. Everything in tending either to the establishment of that form of political organization; or to something so nearly approaching to it, as to be distinguishable from it only in name. The "government of the nation by itself under a chief magistrate, whose tenure of office may be of longer 'or shorter dare-. den, will ere long be the inevitable result in Ea. rope of the example and success of American in stitutions. If Spain does not at once adopt republican forms it is avowedly on the sole ground that • her population is not yet sufficiently advanced or en lightened to practice them. All her leading citi zens are compelled to admit this;, and after they have spoken separately and individually,the Pro visional Government,in a second manifesto which it has just issued, intimates indirectly the same opinion.. Spain must begin with " all the liber ties, except the last." She must submit for a time to accept a master (though in a very modi fied sense) until she learns to be her own master. I find scarcely a difference of opinion existing on this point,except among such sangnine(or crazy?) polinciane as Emile de Girardin and Victor Hugo. But then these sanguine enthusiasts write and speak without any of that "responsi bility" with which, it is to be hoped, they will never be entrusted A long letter from the lat ter to the former, addressed to "Mon 'cher et grand ami"--(this style of Frenchmen is always Wigging and kissing one snot her!)- 7 -appeared in the Liberte • of yesterday- What an effusion it is! What a rhapsody! And how full of mingled sublimity `and nonsense? Fancy such a piece of advice, in such a form, being addressed to Americans as to their choice of a government. Of course they would laugh at it. In the very first paragraph he brings in the names of Greece,,and Leonidas, and Aehilles, and the Cid, and Spada, and Corneille, and Christopher Columbus, and Lord knows who else! The Spanish people, he tells us and them, have done everything but two things; everything but learn how to do without the Pope and with out a King. The former, he says, put .his triple tiara upon them, like an extinguisher,and•popery and absolutism together sufficed to keep them down. But a Republic in Spain would be the halo - of Europe. It would mean peace.and would put a muzzle upon both France and Prussia, and de throne M. Chassepot in honor of M. Jacquart. It would convert Cadiz into Southampton, Berm lona.into Liverpool (he does not quite venture to say New York!) and Madrid into Paris! "if Spain reconstitute herself as a monarchy," he concludes, grandiloquently, " she will be little; if a Republic she will be great. Let her choose." Poor Victor Hugo ! It is all very fine, and very grand ; and no doubt very well meant. But as my sagacious friend writes me from the Penin sula, to make a r epublic you must have republi cans. And where are you to find them in Spain? You have got to begin by making your bricks, and after that you may proceed to build. Not to be too severe, however,upon the Spanish people, I ought to add that their conduct during the pre• sent crisis is not only far above what my own experience of them would have led me to anti& gif,tte, but is, I find, a matter of astonishment to those who have lived for years amongst them. Only yesterday I heard a French banker, who had spent half his life at Madrid, express the warmest admiration at the calmness and moder ation displayed throughout the course of recent events by a people,of whom,as he said, he should net have hesitated to predict anarchy and blood shed under such circumstances as the present. Tifelititiiiiiirfaifiheferiblished a pam phiet,entitled "Spanish Anarchy,"foretelling noth ing but disasters, unless Don Carlos be - called in t o set thlngs Bfi•aight by "divine right!" But the National party have no need to reply to it; they need only point across the Pyrenees and say : "Look there !—to give the coup de grace to all such malevolent insinuations." There seems, no doubt, that Queen Isabella is about to leave Pan, where, I presume, she be gins to feel herself an unwelcome guest. Some persons say she is going to Rome; but again it is affirmed that her baggage has been seen at Brigh ton, marked " Queen Isabella." Napoleon still looks after his army as the main chance of the dynasty. A decree appears in. the Moniteur of this morning, by which nearly all the subordinate employments in the different minis tries and public offices are reserved for soldiers who shall re-enlist for five years more, and shall have served the full period of ten years. The last fortnight of fine weather with which the present almost unexampled season closed, has enabled the vintage to be completed under as favorable circumstances as the harvest. The wholesale market for the disposal of the premier eras, or first-class wines of the Bordeaux district, has been opened, and the high range of prices proves sufficiently the estimation in which the vinicokproduce of the year is lield,_ftlid_the.fine_i qualities it is expected to develop. - - At recent sales the celebrated Gntau Laroze was sold at 8,500 francs, the French tonneau, or hogshead, of abiit-!600 bottles; and the Branne Mou ton, a wine which has beedine a fa vorite again of late years, at the enormous price of 5,000 francs. It is said that the produce of the estate of Chateau Lafitte was refused to offers of 6000 franes!the hogshead. Such prices for wines hardly yet seenred in casks, and not hay ingfyet gone through theProCess and perils of fer mentation, &b., are altogether unprecedented, even in these times of -extravagant rates. We have not as yet the returns of the prices offered for the - Chateau Yquem and highest class white wines now so much in demand. But remember ing that these carried off the palm'at the univer sal exhibition against the finest , qualifies ofdbhan nisberg, .1 - ;have no doubt. that;the rates - will be something fabulous when they come into the market. The only drawback to this prolific year seems likely to be the fearful inundations, of which the aml7-tfii ..

I have just seen two friends on their return from the inundated dis tricts of Lembardy, ‘ and the lake country of the Tessin and neighborhood. One of them passed in a boat the beautiful and magnificent new hotel cast opened at l3aveno, on the Logo Maggiore,flooded up to the windows of the first-floor, to the ruin of the proprietor and the entire loss of the season. In ' many parts the country , is just traversable where the • roads happen to lie high on an embankment. Many lives have been lost, though a far greater amount of property. It ap pearrythat travelers may incur-some risk; if too venturesome,in going forward. Just at this moment there is a painful sensation in the law courts of Paris, created by the apprehended danger of M. Lecoq, the secretary and assistant at the bar of M. Jules Favre, arid a gentleman much loved and respected.. The last news of him was from tbeLake of Lugano, near which he left his bag gage, and has not since been heard of. It is feared he may have been imprudent in his desire to investigate the extent of theinundations. Two of his friends of the Paris bar have started in search of him. ' It may interest Americans who have sons in the French Colleges to know that the Minister of Public Instruction appointed, some time ago, a Commission, to report upon thehealth, food, &a., of those establishments. That report has been just published, and is to the effect that whergs the average mortality of young people of from 10 to 15 years old, living amongst the genera population, is 5 to 1,000, that of the same class and age in the public schools is only 1 to 3,000. ENGLAND. lieverdy Johnson and Laird. The London correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune writes as follows : "I don't know whether it is Mr. Laird or Mr. Reverdy Johnson who takes such pains that all the marks of their intimacy shall be reported in the newspapers. The Liverpool dinner being over, I hoped it might not be necessary to say anything more about Mr. Johnson. Bat the journals continue to print details of that odious eCCDe and private letters supply others. When Mr. Laird' entered the room, says one account, he appeared nervous and flurried. Several of his friends entered at once into conversation with him. After a brief interval of suspense, the American Ambassador asked to be introduced to. Mr. Laird. Mr. Johnson has been long enough In England to know that such a request is a confes sion of social inferiority on the part of the per son who makes it. Mr. Laird condescended to pant . Johnson's request. As he might have refused we ought to be grateful far such a token of f ness. The introduction over, Mr• John- Eon d e was very glad to make Mr,Lakvi's ac quaintance; that he had come to England as a p'eace-maker, and desired that all antagonism spring out of the late unfortunate civil war.--I wonder he did not remember Naeby's word, and call it the "onpleasantness"—should be forgot ten. Of course nobody was surprised when Mr. Johnson and Mr. Laird went off next day on a plo-nlc party together. Cardinal Cullen's Letter to a Catholic . Editor or Dublin. The Dublin correspondent of the Telegraph, under date of the 27th, says that Cardinal Callen has written a letter to one of the burgesses of Trinity Ward, approving of their movement to assist in securing the election of a Liberali Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. His Eminence ob serves: "Were a chief magistrate of hostile opinions elected at this critical moment he might do much mischief. The Liberal party in England, now making such exertions to put an end to Orange ascendancy in Ireland, would justly complain of our ingratitude or indifference; and the Conservatives would boldly assert, as they have done already, that we are not anxious for religions equality, and that we are willing to continue to bear the yoke which for so long a series of years has pressed most heavily upon us. As to the election of members of Parliament, the question is one of personal merit at present. It is simply this, whether Dublin will elect representatives who proclaim their determination to uphold all the abuses of the Protestant Establishment, and to leave the grievances of the country without re dress; or whether the Liberal citizens will vote for candidates such as Mr. Pim, prepared to sup port Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, and to assist aim in putting an end to. Orange ascendancy, and establishing the reign of justice in this country, and introducing perfect equality among all classes of her Majesty's subjects." AFFAIRS IN SPAIN. A Coming Trouble. A correspondent writes: A bit of Information comes to me about the prospect of a Republic in Spain, which is worth giving. It is from an eminent European Liberal —not English—who writes as follows : "There will be a struggle y'et in Spain on the ques tion of Republic pr Monarchy. Yon know, perhaps, that Prim when In London would not at first accept the proposition of the Democratic party, which stipu lated as a condition of its support for the .piegramum 'overthrovtof the RoifFkinsa:MitiOtral -SoveleVaTfy— and Constituent Cortes.' He afterward yielded; and hie intimate friend Milans del Bosch, now General and Military Governor of Madrid, then pledged him self for-the-Democratic tendencies of Prim. He even said that he would take the life of Ins friend if be proved false. The letter to the Gattiois in favor of a constitutional monarchy—which I learn was written by the Madrid correspondent of that paper and signed by Prim—was therefore the more calculated to exas perate those who know something of the previous ne gotiations." —This is true in substance beyond doubt. Strong influences must be at work on Prim, or ho would never be hesitating while General del Bosch's loyalty to the Republic is sound. For those who know Gen. Prim know that he is a soldier and nothing more. Gen. del Bosch has long been his secretary and supplied him with brams—at any rate,with his political information and ideas. Resumption of !Diplomatic Relations by Prussia and **lily. The Jfoniteur of the 28th, in its bulletin, says : "The Ministers of Prussia and Italy have resumed their relations with the Spanish Government, as also the Papal Nuncio, who has had an interview with the Minister of Forelign Affairs." The Papal Nuncio has had an interview with Senor Lorenzana, when he gave satisfactory ex planations to the Minister, from which it may easily be foreseen that the recognition of the Re volutionary Government by the Reman Court will shortly take place. Convents and their Incomes. The Pall Mall Gazette of the 28th says that the Provisional Government of Spain have, during their Abort_ evißteurP, unearthed—matip-curious statistics having a special interest for - taxpayers. Thus they found that, though the number of convents had been reduced by one-half in 1837, the last official census, of 1860, showed the exist ence of 866 convents. with 12,990 nuns, drawing an annual pension amounting to the sum of 8,990,000 reals. To these convents also belonged 2,174 male officials, Chaplains sacris tans, organists, and singers, who divided' among them a further sum of 3,92 1,086 reals.SSince 1860 no official census has been taken, to avoid natured remarks. But it was a notorious fact that the number of these houses was daily Inertias ing up to the time when Queen Isabella went to Biarritz, to see another monarch in difficulties. The "Latiaterne.li The Si?cle says that .the questlon has been of ten asked how the numbers of the Lanterns which circulate 41, France could pass, the fron tier. The police have been greatly puzzled, and might have been so much longer, bat for an un-• known individual who called' the attention of an officer to certain large packing-cases at the Northern Railway station. These boxes con tained plaster busts of Napoleon 111., but on being broken up they were found to be filled with copies of the Lanterns, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY Ceasiou of Territory to Italy. The Roman correspondent of the Pali Mail Gazette Benda the following Important informa tion: "General Dumont has lately paid a visit to Cardinal Antonelli, and held a long conference with him, in reference to an important commu nication from the Emperor Napoleon. , This, according to my information, was to the effect that if the Pope desired to preserve his indepen dence at Rome, It would be necessary for him to cede to Italy the provinces of Velletri 'and Frog none, as on this condition alone could the Em peror consent to maintain a French garrison at Clvita Vecchia. Cardinal Antonelli did not object to opening negotiations on this basis, but the Pope met the proposal with his old non possimus. Such is the report given to me of what took place, but, though coming from a quarter always well informed, I do not guarantee its accuracy, and it is possible that General Dumont may rather have been sounding Cardinal Antonelli than making a positive stipulation. The Emperor is, no doubt, anxious to conciliate Italy, without deserting the Pope; but whether he will be able tuns to ran with the hare and hunt with the hounds remains to be seen. It is certain that the move of Gen. Dumont has been followed up by Count Armand, who communicated to Cardinal Antonelli a note from General Menabrea to Signor Nigra, inform ing him, as the representative of Italy at the French Court, that, now the Italian Government had arranged the question of the Pontifleal debt, it expected that of the Emperor to recall the French troops from Civita Vecchia- Count Ar mand added that the Emperor well knew the danger to which this measure would expose the Holy Bee, but that he should be driven to adopt it unless the Pope made some important conces sion to Italy, and I am assured that Count Ar mand then reiterated the proposition of General Dumont, engaging, if it were complied with, that the Emperor would guarantee the security of Rome, the Marches, and the province of Viterbo " The Life of the huh° of Brabant Des LBniesels (0ct.26) Corremotdence of tho Morning Herald.] Without dweiliag farther on the many and va ried fluctuations which, since the month of Au gust, have attended the illness of the heir to the throne of Belgium--fluctuations which you have made knowp to your numerous readers by the publication daS , by day of the official medical bulletins issued at Brussels—l had formed an opinion, in common with many of the highest medical authorities, that such a state of things afforded a certain amount of hope that the prince might be cured. To-day, how ever, this hope has been completely destroyed, and the fatal event appears merely to depend upon a certain number of hours. This morning the Prince, who had suffered severely from difficulty of breathing, had such a severe attack that it was thought he had passed from life to death. Dre. Wimmer and Eienriette, who relieve each other hourly, and are in attendance night and day, immediately summoned the. King and the Queen. There is no occasion to dwell on the incidents of the mournful scene that ensued. Drs. Spring and Croeq were immediately sent for and speedily arrived. In the short interval the Prince gave signs of returning animation. The result of a consultation of the doctors was that the dropsy, momentarily uncontrollably aggra• voted, bad pursued its ravages, and mounted to the heart. The above-mentioned doctors were of °pillion that it was necessary to have recourse to a second operation of puncture ; but under the •difficulty, or rather the all but impossi bility of performing that operation, they requested that three other physicians should be called in. This request having been granted, the seven doctors held a consultation, and came to the decision that the operation should be attempted. Up to the present hour the issue of this grave decision is not known, and the next bulletin which will be signed by the seven physicians, and give the result of an opera tion of which the . doctors themselves entertain but slender hopes, is waited for with feverish anxiety. The ministers have been summoned to the Castle of Laeken, as well as Lient.-General Baron de ChazaL The Queen, whose health for some time has been seriously affected, has been obliged, by direction of the physicians, to keep to her apartments. Debut of an American Artiste. [From the London Times, Oct. 27.1 At the Royal Italian Opera, last night, the al ways-popular "Somnambula" was the opera, and Miss Minnie Hauck, who has had about a year's probation in America. assumed the very arduous part of the heroine. Such an undertaking by a mere girl—for we understand,and can readily be lieve, that she has not yet accomplished her eighteenth year—showed, perhaps, a larger amount of courage than of judgment, and this more especially m so vast a theatre as Covent Garden. But that certain passages in Miss Hauck's Aniina were less successful than others, land that the whole wanted the com pleteness of execution which only ripe experience can insure, must in no way be understood to sig nify that her performance was not one of very remarkable promise. We have, indeed,very little hesitation in stating our belief that the young lady is in possession of most of 'the gifts which by assiduous cultivation may eventually be turned to brilliant account. She has a pure so prano voice, light and flexible, sweet and pens __ratin&STell Orongh.fatiliterangeanui iii the moat - It - gamete manner. In subdued passages her tones are charming, while the soundless of her training and the excellence of her method are declared in - the fact that her intonation is invariably perfect. She phrases, too, admirably, and though not yet a complete mistress of what the Italians term "agilite," which perhaps can with tolerable, fidelity be translated as fluency in the• delivery of florid passages, she more than atones for this by other qualities no less,. important and Valuable. ,Miss Hauck, in short, is young, and has much to acquire; but her youth, accompanied as it is by a grace at once natural and prepossessing,may be reckoned as an attraction in itself. It is difficult not to be strongly interested in her from the very moment she appeared, not to wish her success after the first phrases of Aminals addressed to her com panions, and not to feel convinced, at the end of the cavatina, that rich promise had been revealed in this one performance. * * * "Ah non giunge" was certainly not on a par, with the rest of Mies Hauck's performance. For the adequate delivery of this—whether the, to a foreigner, distressingly high pitch of our orches tree, or the sense that upon the climax of her evening's exertion depended her more or less qualified success, or whatever else may have been the cause—her powers seemed by no means equal. To make a comparative failure, however, in "Ala non giunge," after having pleased and satisfied everybody in the preceding parts of the opera, is not an unpardonable sin; and with the fact before us that Miss Hauck did not achieve what might_have been—expect of lief r in7al,-which is always- expected-to be the culminating point in a representation of the "Somnambula," we are not the less con vinced that the young American lady is destined to become an ornament to a profession in which it is not difficult to attain a merely respectable position, but extremely difficult to win the highest honors. Young talent of a high order is now-a-days so rare, that not to welcome heartily the apparition of a dramatic singer of such indis putable promise as Miss Minnie Hauck would be equivalent to showing an indifference to art pro gress. She Brings Another Company of her. • vaxit earls from England to Canada 31;hoir Arrival in Toronto. (From the Toronto Telegraph'of Nov. T.] Miss Rye girls, on their .arrival yesterday morning by the Grand Trunk, were at one taken to th e Boys' Home, where refreshment awaited them. The consignment which reached. Toronto numbered seventy-three, the total number who left London being. ninety-two. Tho balance Were dispOsed of on the way at Quebec, Mon treal and Petersborough. Miss Rye states 'that of the former ethigrants who came out under ho ROWE. BELGI UM• paired of. IlliSS RYE. auspices, those who 'settled in Toronto have done better than those who remained in Montreal. She most strenuously contradicts the rumors that have been so assiduously propagated to the effect that some of the girls brought out on a previous occasion were of known bad cha racter, or selected from .Magdalen Asylums. Her experience is directly opposed to the theory of emigration generally prevalent in Eogland, that if girls of bad character are sent from home their chances of reformation are better than in England, her opinion being that if they cannot reform there they certainly will not do so , in Canada. Accordingly, her selections are made with the greatest care, in order that none but girls of good character shall be taken, and if any others are among them, it is simply because it is impossible to exclude them from such a large number, even with every precaution. Ms not to be wondered at if out of a hundred girls, a few prove nnwolthy of the care and trouble expended infitheir behalf, but there is nothing to show that the proportion isater than among an equal number of Canadian gre girls. The girls all looked clean, healthy and com fortable, with the ruddy hue of the English cli mate, on • their cheeks. They are an average lot of servant, girls, mostly quite young, and their demeanor was that of modest and well-behaved young women, and they will prove an acceptable assistance to many of our citizens.who frequently have some difficulty in obtaining suitable help. They had quite a rough passage coming out. Mr. Saunders, of the' Grand Trunk. accompanied them from Quebec, and Mr. Donaldson, Emigra tion Agent, received them here. The lady mana gers of the Boys' Home, and Mrs. Monroe, the matron, have done everything irttheir power to make them comfortable during their stay in that institution, a t considerable trouble and incon- Yenienee. The General Sltnation—The New Cap• Utita-Goneral. Havana, Nov. I.—The situation is unchanged, and most probably will remain so until a Captain General arrives.- Gen. Lersundrs action will not be, in all probability, altered in any respect so as to conform to the politics of the party in power. Now the news comes that Thrice has accepted the Captain-Genendship of the Island. This fact, when known, will throw a damper on all insurrectionary movements. He Is the only Spaniard, if there be any, whom the Cubans like, ord. when ho left here he announced himself as a Cuban. All that gentleman will have to do on arrival will be to publish an address, pardoning every In- Eurgent on the proper conditions being complied with, and at the same time announce the inten tions of the Government with respect to Cuba, promising equal political rights, and giving the people to understand that, hereafter, Cubans shall be considered and treated in all respects as Spaniards. This will do the work, and this yon wane promptly done on the arrival of His Ex cellency. .DREftMTIO AIVII aural cA.L. Both the Chestnut and the Arch Street theatres were crowded last night,npon the , occasion of the first representation of the Lancashire Lass. The play is theth modern sensational school, and It has all merits and all the defects of dramas of - its class. There is a gypsy girl, who tries to ruin her rival, and win her lover by betraying the rival into the hands of a heavy villain. This degraded being no Bonner ,calls her his own, than a wretched and unsentimental bnpectuilosity in duces him' to to seek the hand of an heiress. The heiressie more ardent than particular, and she accepts him, only to be, met with a threat from her stern father that she will be cut off with a . shilling if she marries him. The difficulty now Is to force this implacable papa togive his con-, sent. With bold and startling originality, the dramatist has arranged that the affinent parent shall have committed a forgery in his' childhood's happy days. But the crime is buried in the for gotten past, of course, and it would probably re main there if it were not for "a party by the namo of Johnson," who comes in and tells the villain that he will gain the father's consent to the mar riage if the villain will keep Johnson in funds. Jreed. ohnson visits the reformed forger and calls up harrowing recollections of days gone by, com pletely resurrecting that crime from the forgotten past in which it was interred. Anguish- and re morse on the part of the rich merchant. Villain overhears the revelation and changes his mind. Wouldn't marry the heiress now, for any con sideration. Johnson extorts many bank notes from the forger, and proceeds to inebriate him self, and while in that condition, the maddened forger pushes him from a wharf, and he appa rc perishes in a watery grave. Unhappily the young and virtuous hero, who had been blighted by the gypsy girl, chances to approach at this juncture, and tie is accused of the crime. His sweetheart, however, enables him to escape from jail, and they both fly to Austra lia, where the fifth act Ands them living upon a sheep farm, and where the villain comes to a san guinary and timely end, exp r es sive enthusiasm, and a series of tableaux of heartfelt happiness and peace. The drama, even with these ancient incidents, possesses some novel and highly draniatic situa tions; the language is generally good, and tho climaxes are worked up skilfully and effectively.' At the Chestnut the piece is placed upon the stage in very handsome style. The scenery and properties are entirely new,ankatleatittwa__. 116 - 1 - cs.des;: - --the — river pier, and the Australian stable—are very much above the average. The new company at the Chestnut, with an ex ception here and there,did full justice to the play. Mr. J. B. Roberts performed his part witn his usual ability, but be should have been cast for "Robert Redburn," rather than for ."Farmer Kirby." • Re would have given the former char acter much more acceptably than Mr. Tilton did. Mr. Ward made "Spotty" just what he ought to be, a good-natured, jolly, serving man. Miss Irving gave the most artistic personation of the evening in the part of "Ruth Kirby." Mr. Stud ley'e "Johnson" was very good, but we suggest that a little more temperance in his drunkenness would be an improvement. At the Arch Mrs. Drew played "Ruth Kirby' as well as it could be played by anybody,.and Miss Price as the gypsy_girl surpassed herself. - Mr. Barton Hill's "Johnson" is also open to the charge of being somewhat overdone in 'the drunken scene. Just about half as much maud lin talk and looseness of conduct would answer the purpose and make the episode more attrac tive. Mr. Craig's "Spotty" was excellent, but it is a part hardly large enough for any great dis play of ability. Mr. Everly's "Robert Redbnrn" was tasteful, artistic and thoroughly well done. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the audi ences at both houses, and the indications are that the play will be very successful and will have a long run under Mr. Smn and Mrs. Drew. It's faults are common with all plays of the kind, and it is not more worthy of censure than those that have preceded it ; nor is it better deserving of Heal criticism— I b aveit'a day Z a fr elulmi popularity,and Y then be withdrawn and-be for gotten. In the meantime, we recommend the the public to see it at both theatres while it is in existence. The dispute between the man agers will incite them to make unusual effort to give attractiveness to their entertainment, and the audiences will reap the benefit. —Mr. E. L. Davenport will appear at the Wal nut Street Theatre this evening in The Pilot and Rob Roy. To-morrow night Mr. Thos. J. Hemp hill,the business manager of the theatre will have a benefit when Mr.avenport will appear as "Dazzle' in London Assurance and In The Pilot, Mr. Hemphill deserves to have a crowded house —it is rumored, with some appearance of cred ibility, that Mr. Theodore Thomas, of New York, intends to bring his orchestra here, and given series of first class concerts. Even with the coMpetition that exists here, we believe' that 'he will find no difficulty in making the enterprise a-pecuniary success. . - . —A miscellaneous performance, including The Grand Duchess, will be given at .the American Theatre this evening. •,, , - —On the evening of Nov. 20th, the new organ will be opened at the Cathedral, and several of our most accomplished players'will display its beauties.
