THE FINE AHIS.
The chief picture in Mr. Dana's little collec

mina•cs well. This is the "Moonlight after a

cured so important a work for the centre of one
of his "Monday Evenings," and hope that all who
want pleasure or instruction in the fine arts will
see it to-night. Unfortnnately,it will be removed
In a day or two, and thus will not be lighted up
again. We have learned, what we did not know
on Saturday, that this is one of Mr. Dana's moat
recent pictures,and admit thall it argues anything
but retrogression in Mr. Dana's skill, at least out
side of figure-painting. One of the very few
original marine conceptions we have seen, It cer
tainly shows advance, in its particular line. Mr.
Dana's children-subjects, coast-scenes and ani

modern artists.
OBITUARY.
Death off James Harper, of New York.
The accident to Mr. James Harper, of being
thrown out of his carriage while driving in the
vicinity of Central Park, which has heretofore
been announced In our columns, resulted in his
death on Saturday evening, March 27. He was
taken op after his fall In a state of Insensibility,
and remained to that condition, with searcely
an Interval of Insperfect consciousness, until
be breathed his last. His death took place In
dt. Luke's Hospital. to which he had been
conveyed after the occurrence of the accident,
end where, surrounded by the members of
his numerous family circle, he was the subject of
every aasiduity that could alleviate the effecta of
his injury, but the shock proved too great for his
vigorous frame, disappointing the hope that he
would yet be able to rally. Mr. Harper was born
in Newtown, Long Island, in April, 1795, and
bad consequently nearly completed his seventy
fourth year, although his athletic figure and
ruddy completion were adapted to give the im
pression that he was not far advanced beyoad
the middle period of life. Few citizens of New
York were more generally known in our
community, and none enjoyed a larger share of
public respect- In his position as head of the
eminent teabliehing house of which he was
founder, and in the transactions of which he
took an active part until the last, he was brought
into intimate relations with many of the most
distinguished men of letters in the United States .
Leis acquaintance with several of our lead ng
authors ripened into a warm personal friend
ship: they found a favorite resort in
Franklin Square ; and were always wel
comed with a cheerful word, which was often
6raeoned with a spice of pleasant humor, and
sometimes pointed with a lively jest or pungent
repartee. Upon him devolved the duty of exer
cising the hospitality of the establishment toward
its regular habitude', or chance visitors, who
were always impressed with the kindliness of
his feelings, and the suavity of his manners,
although no man knew better, than he the art
of dealing with the gentle dullness or conceited
pretension which wade the presence of a
visitor a burden. Mr. Harper was without
political ambition, and never made himself con
spicuous in public affairs. He was content with
. quiet devotion to the duties of his calling, and
found his chosen recreations in the enjoyments
01 the domestic circle. In 1844, however, having
acceded to the request of many of his fellow citi
zens to stand for the office of Mayor of New
York, he was elected by a very large majority to
that post, which ho filled to the general
acceptance of his constituents. He
was brought up in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, of which communion he re
mained a devoted member throughout his life.
His vivacity of temperament and manner was
combined with a deep religions feeling, which,
though never ostentatiously brought to the sur
face, exercised a pervading influence on his
character. He had a large acquaintance
with the clergy of every persuasion, and
few of them in this vicinity will not
miss the light of his genial countenance
and friendly smile. He carried the highest prin
ciples into the conduct of business, and never
willingly gave the sanction of his name to un
orthy or mischievous productions In literature.
No prospect of gain or popular success could
tempt him to publish a book which he
believed to be injurious to the interests
of society. This is no slight praise, and
will be honorably remembered of him by
all who shall hereafter attempt to trace the
development of our literature. The influence of
a right-minded, conscientious publisher on the
cause of sound knowledge, just taste and pure
morality, can scarcely be over-estimated, and our
national lltprature will reap the benefit of his ex
ample In this respect after his kindly face shall
no more be seen in our buSy haunts, and hie per•
sonal traits shall fade away from the memory of
a new generation.—N. V. Tribwie.

Arrest of the United states Consular
Agent at Olbara-lle Is 'drought to

Gibbs to New York.
HAVANA, March 27, 1869.—The Spanish war
steamer Montezuma arrived here today, having
on board In Irons E. R.. Codrington, Consular
Agent of the United States at the port of Glbara.
The cause of his arrest Is said to be that ho was
suspected of complicity with the insurrection.
Richard Gibbs, Consular Agent of the United
States at Nuevitas, has arrived here from that
port and leaves on the steamer for New York to
day.
—The Empress of Austria appeared, at the last
State ball in Vienna, in a new dress composed of
the green sod golden wings of South American
beetles, sewn with gold thread on a tissue of white
silk. A splendid suite of diamond and emerald
completed this costume.
The English, and Irish papers of recent date
contain the following account of the elopement
of an Irish marquis with the wife of a govern
ment official In high standing :
A most extraordinary piece of scandal in high
life has jest come to light, namely, the elope
ment of the wile of Captain Vivian with the Mar
quis of Waterford. The gallant captain is a lord
of the treasury and member of Parliament for
Truro. For some time past the lady's name
has been mentioned in connection with the
partner of her flight, and her disappear
ance was not wholly unexpected. She left
her home on Monday morning, alleging that she
Intended to proceed to Brighton to see her mother,
and would return the same evening. &aglow
ver, she failed to make her appearance Captain
Vivian proceeded to the Victoria station and
there ascertained that the Marquis of Water
ford and Mrs. Vivian had the previous morning
taken tickets for Paris by way of Dover. accom
panied by a friend. He followed them to the
French capital, and soon found the object of his
search at a well known hotel. Mrs. Vivian heard
r f her husband's arrival, and locked herself up
In an inner chamber. Captain Vivian, however,
succeeded in obtaining assistance and burst open
the doors. He then ascertained that Mrs. Vivian
bad attempted to commit suicide by swallowing
chloroform. The quantity taken was not, how
ever, sufficient to cause more than partial insen
sibility. Captain Vivian is understood to have
Implored his wife to return for the sake of her
children, of whom there are four, but that she
peremptorily refused, although her husband as
sured her that her escapade should be kept a
profound secret. The lady, however, remained
firm in her determination not to return to the
shelter of her home, but pleaded that she
might be allowed to retain her youngest child.
This request Captain Vivian declined to comply
with, and returned to London without having en
countered the Marquis of Waterford. Tue latter
has, it is believed, caused a communication to be
made to Captain Vivian, that when the Judge
Ordinary of the Divorce Court shall have dis
solved the legal ties which now prevent his mar
vine Mrs. Vivian, he will, as a man of honor,
make her the only compensation in his power.
Meantime, Captain Vivian has left town,and will
not return to his place in the Henze of Commons
until his presence is required for the division on
the second re-ding of the bill for the abolition of
the Irish Church.
Violent Shake in East Lancashire.
(Flom the Manchester Examiner.]
Mecon 27..1869,
A very distinct shock of earthquake was felt
yesterday evening, of which we have received the
-everal accounts published below. The time of
the occurrence was a few minutes after 6 O'clock,
and up to tke time we write the accounts re
ceived concur in representing the East Lance
'hire district as t*ltt.in which the vibration was
the sharpest. In Manchester the shook was
very slightly experienced, but the confirmation
, t different and perfectly independent wit
nesses In the city leaves no doubt that
heir sensation of a very peculiar and unusual
-baking of the ground concurred in point of time
with the more violent trembling reported from
other towns. A sudden tremor of the walls of a
room, unaccompanied by any noise, but so
marked as io prompt a gentleman to exclaim,
'That must be an earthquake," was perceptible
the office of this porno! at a few minutes after
six o'clock. The sensation was little more than
momentary, and was forgotten until the reports
rom other places confirmed the first impression.
In several of the suburbs of Manchester there
was a similar experience. At Pendleton the
lrection of the shocit appeared to be from
East to West. The floors and windows rat-
, led slightly, and our Informant there says "there
was a sound like a gust of wind." This was at
.bout 610 by the church clock. A correspon
dent residing in Cheetwood. Manchester, informs
us that the shock was sensibly felt there. He
compares It (using almost precisely the same
words as the foregoing writers) to a "sudden
gust of wind," violently shaking the house and
threatening the walls and roof. The notion of
an earthquake was immediately suggested to all
.13 the house, and the time specified agrees with
that indicated in other places. It would appear,
Is far as can be generalized from the reports to
nand, that the shock was the most sharply ex
penenced on the more elevated points of the dis
trict affected.
The London correspondent of the N. Y. Times
writes as follows:
The papers here have been discussing, with
much Interest, the formation of President Grant's
Cabinet, and the subsequent modificauon in it.
Without treading on ground which does not be
iong to me, I may say that the news of the ap
pointment of Governor Fish is received with
reat satisfaction here,the Pall Mall Gatte hav
ing made known who and what he is. At the
-ame time surprise has been expressed that Mr.
reward's long services should have been passed
without apparent acknowledgment. These, of
course, are only the views of foreign observers.
and, therefore, likely to be mistaken. I mention
them because it is part of my duty to inform you
f the state of public opinion here on all quea
ions. President Grant has tens of thousands of
Admirers in this country, who fully hope and be
lieve that under his rule the United States may
tie destined to arrive at greater glory than ever in
the past. This is not an unmeaning civility—
look at the price of 5-20 s. I draw up a brit('
fix morandum of quotations from a table which I
seep every day, and which is copiedfrom official
figures:
CLOSING PRICE OF 5-20 BONDS (1882.)
lan. 11 75%. Feb. 26 80%
Feb. 2 76%1March 4 81%
Feb. 9 76% March 5
Feb. 15 793 March 12 83
Thus, as General Grant's time for occupying
the White House drew near, the price of your
-ecurities went up (for although I have only
quoted one description, all others advanced in
proportion.) The receipt of his message on the
sth sent the bonds to a better place in the market
than they have held for a long period. It is evi
dent that the tendency is still upward. What
way not General Grant do for his country?
Queen Victoria and the Scholars.
The London correspondent of the New York
Times says:
One nay this week the Queen sent word to
Dean Stanley that she wished to pay him a visit
at the Deanerv, Westminster Abbey, and would
be glad to have certain gentlemen eminent in
literature to meet her. She named Mr. Grote
(the historian, and author of "Plato"), Mr. Car
l% le, Mr. Browning, and one or two others.
These favored persons—or was it the Queen who
must be considered favored ?—were, I hear,
greatly pleased with the interview which they
had with Her Majesty. She paid a compliment,
in all sincerity, to each. She had read Mr. Grote's
Pluto," and expressed her admiration for it.
This will be gratifying to a public writer not 011-
k noNr u to New York, who has called -Mr. Grote's
"Plato" the greatest book of tho age. The Queen
showed that she was familiarly acquainted with
Mr. Brownlog's poems, and spoke to him relative
to his work now in course of publica
tion, the " Ring and the Book." She
conversed for some little time with Mr.
Carlyle, and the subject of pauperism
happened to arise. Mr. Carlyle avowed his opin
ion that there was very little unavoidable and in
voluntary pauperism in England. Her Majesty
said that she was afraid ho was mistaken—that
unhappily there wag too much evidence of wide
spread. pauperism, produced by misfortune, to
admit of any doubt of its existence.. The party,
I ism informed (all this was told to me "pri
vately." but there is no harm in repeating it to
you in confidence), had a most interesting
conversation, and everybody was de
lighted with the Queen's urbanity. It is well to
be a Queen to be able to bring around her all,the

The following are the words in which Count
Bismarck proposed General Grant's health on the
4,11 of klatch :
"Permit me, gentlemen, to interrupt your con
versation a moment while I say a word about
the occasion which has brought us together. This
Is the day upon which, on the other side of the
Atlantic. the victorious commander In the service
of the United States enters on his office as Presi
dent. That event, inasmuch as It deeply inter
ests the United States, has a special claim on the
rympathetic Interests of this country, for it was
a Sing of Prussia, Frederick IL, who at the
birth of the great American Republic was
the first among the non-belligerents to recognize
its independence. A 8 to our subsequent relations
with the United States, it gives me the greatest
pleasure to be able to state as a fact, not only
from my personal experience as a Minister. of
Prussia, but from the archives or oar history,
that the cordial understanding inaugurated by
Washington and Frederick has never suffered the
slightest alteration. Not only has no difficulty
ever arisen between the two countries; nothing
has ever occurred between them which so much
as called for an explanation. It is then to me a
most agreeable, as well as an appropriate duty,to
call on you to unite with me in drinking in Ger
man wine the health of the President of the
United States, Gen. Grant."
France and the Pope.
/ M. de Lavatette has written to Cardinal Auto
nein to say that much as he desires the mainten
ance of the temporal power,and firm as is his res
olution to maintain a sufficient force for its pro
tection, the Emperor trusts that no questions will
be mooted at the Council which might tend to
divide the minds of the French clergy; in other
words, that the action of the Holy. Ghost in the
Church of Gud should be cut down to meet the
exigencies of the dynasty which tolerates M.
Dttruy and erects a statue to Voltaire.

Another assassination is reported from Ire

soldiers as soon as the fact became known, who
succeeded in recovering the train, but do not
appear to have bad any collision with the cap

abandoned it.

301 VISEXII ENT&
—Atthe Walnut, this Shaine. Barnard's ex
travaganza lxion, or the Alan at the Wheel will
be produced by an English burlesque company
of considerable reputation. The piece has been
played in New York, and is said to possess much
merit. The artists who are announced to appear
this evening are, however, fresh arrivals, and
ibis will be tbelr first attempt to please an Ameri
can audit nee. The testimonials to their :excel
lence, furnished by the London press, are enthu
siastic, and we must believe that they have very
much more than ordinary ability.
—The Field of the Cloth of Gold continues its
success at the Chestnut, and bids fair to run for a
long time. Messrs. Hess & Co. manage to give it
renewed interest by introducing novel scenes and
incidents constantly. Those, therefore, that see
this most amusing extravaganza once, are sure
to enjoy It c qually as ranch the second time.
This week the piece will be in a measure re
modeled.
—The Jape have left the Theatre Oomique, and
now the enterprising manager has secured an
attraction that cannot fail to crowd the house
even more than the Orientals did. Mr. and Mrs.
Madison Obrey are engaged to give their very
charming entertainments every evening. These
consist of humorous personatione, and of per
format ces upon some very unique and curious
musical instruments and musical rocks. The pro-
gramme gives no adequate idea of the character
of the entertainment, and many persona may be
deterred from visiting tbe house by a fear that
they will not get their money's worth. A single
visit will correct this false impression. The
Obreys are about as well worth hearing' and see
ing as any artists in the same peculiar line that we
have had in this city Manager Donnelly is too
shrewd to engage anybody who would not bring '
Credit and cash to the theatre.
—Mr. A. Everly will have a benefit at the Arch
Street Theatre on Saturday evening next, when
he will produce Strathmore, a play of intense
dramatic interest, and a humorous drama en
titled Helping Hands, or Love and Music. Mr.
Everly is a faithful and excellent actor, and he
deserves a twelve hundred dollar house at least.
—At Musical Fund Hall on Thursday next a
testimonial concert will be given to Mr. William
Stall, Jr., the young violinist, with whose attain
ments most of our citizees are acquainted. The
list of artists who will appear makes the success
of the entertainment certain. He is the best of
our young violinists, and as be gains in years
he will probably become one of the greatest in
the country.
—On Thursday evening, at the Arch, Mrs.
Thayer will pave a benefit, and she offers a bill
which certainly will fill the house. Everybody's
Friend, Domestic Economy and Romeo and Juliet
will be given. Craig will,we suppose,play "Major
De Boots" in the first piece. But even if these at
tractions were not offered, Mrs. Thayer should
have the tribute of a large audience. She is one
of the best artists in her line upon thestage, and
during all the years of her professional life she
has been known and esteemed by the people of
this city as a most estimable woman,with a multi
tude of friends and not an enemy. The sale of
tickets has begun, and those who wish be
present must apply early.
—The Italian opera season will begin on ' -
nesday evening next, at the Academy of Music,
with Donizetti's opera, Belisario, In which Mad
ame States and Signors Boetti and Orlandini will
appear. On Thursday evening Martha, will be
aiven, and on Friday Meyerbeer's Prophet will be
produced In magnificent style, with Madame Do
La Orange in the role of "Fides." At the Saturday
matinee Ernani will be given, and the programme
for the week closes with a second representation of
Le Prophete, on Saturday evening. Not only will
this be the last opportunity to hear Miss Kellogg
before she goes abroad, but it will, very likely, be
the only chance ever to hear the great artist La
Grange, who will take her final departure from
this country at the end of the present season. It
is hardly necessary to say again that Mr. Maret
zek promises to cover himself with glory during
the fortnight campaign. He will have an unusu
ally large chorus, an orchestra composed of our
best musicians; and the appointments of all the
operas will be of the most elegant kind. Beats
can be secured at Trumpler's.
—Mrs. Drew will produce at the Arch this eve.
Ling, that long promised comedy by a Philadel
phia lawyer, tntitled Women Rule. A very great
deal of curiosity has been expressed as to the per
sonality of the author, who has chosen to remain
unknown, and to await behind the vail of his in
cognito the verdict of the public. There is a
certain graceful wisdom in this resolution, whim
is more creditable than that self-satisfied compla
cency which takes for granted the excellence of
one's wore, commits the author's friends to
eulogy, and secures unlimited preliminary puffery
from good-natured editors. This legal gentleman,
whoever ho is, will be sure to have impartial
judgment passed upon his production, and to
nave the satisfaction of knowing that the verdict,
whether favorable or unfavorable, is unbiassed by
any personal motive whatever.
This play has been the subject of anxious in
quiry more among the members of the bar than
among individuals of any other class. Lawyers
have looked upon one another with suspicion,
and there is not a limb of the law from Chief
Justice Sharewood down to the mere tyro who
hoe just finished his last chapter in Blackstone,
upon whom the burden of the charge of dramatic
authorship has not rested. But the neatest law
yers have failt dto make out a case. If the play
t•oecetds,pcssibly the author's modesty will yield
to a &site for honest fame, and we shall be per
mitted to bestow our admiration upon the proper
person.
—For this evening, at the American Theatre, a
varied entertainment is announced.
—At Concert Hall, to-morrow night, a grand
concert will be given under the direction of Tnos.
E Harkins. Mrs. Mozart, Miss Caroline Mc-
Caffrey, Mr. Rudolph Hennig, and a number of
other excellent artists will appear. The pro
gramme Is first-rate. •
—The Pr as , which seems to be anxious to help
Its circulation among respectable people by ob
taining gratuitous notices from us, contains the
following this morning:
"The EVENING Borax:11N makes this remarka
ble statement of Mr. Sam Rumple:
" 'Ho Is an old stand-by at the Arch, having
been attached to the theatre from beyond the
memory of the oldest play goer.'
"It does not require 'the memory of the oldest
playgoer' to look back to the time when Mr.
Hemple was 'attached' to the Walnut Street
Theatre. But then you know the BULLETIN man
is not an old playgoer (vide his criticism)."
The exact situation can be best illustrated by
quoting the words of the man whose finesensibili
ties deterred him from using harsh language
when impugning the veracity of another. "Mr.
Ferguson," said ke, "I do not wish to be under
stood as calling you a prevaricator, but If you
should write a work of fiction it is my distinct
opinion that it would sell."
The BULLETIN never contained the language
attributed to it above, or anything like it.
A Desperate Struggle with. Burglars
During Friday night two coat offices on Rail
road avt nue, Newark, N. J., were broken open
by burglars, who escaped before the discovery.
This, however, Incited the patrolmen in that
vicinity to increased vigilance, and on Saturday
morning officer H. D. Smith, while passing
Joralemon's jewelry manufactory on Ham
ilton street, heard ono of a party of
three suspicious men whom be had pre
viously seen, say, "Will I go for him ? '
The voice came from an alley-war, which the
9tilcer was passing at the time.- Walking along
unconcernedly, as though ho had not heard the
'remark, the officer -obt,.ined the assistance of
Sergeant Garrabrent, Officers Hickey . and Daub,
and time reinforced, returned to Hamilton street.
Garrabrant, who bad the van, was peering
curiously Into the alloy-way, where the burglars"
were concealedf when he was suddenly attacked
and seized'by the throat by a man who had ad
vanced from the darkness of the alley. The.

other officers immediatelY rushed to 'hle
M au l
once, but in the struggle one Of the` bttrglare
escaped, although the assailant - was captuted.
Sergeant Garrabrant and an officer proceeded
:the Station House with their prisoner, aud officer%
fi4 ere sent in every direction In - search. of: the
fugitive burglars. At about four o'clock they
were discovered attempting to get on a train
which was going slowly around o n
,Carve
between the Centre and Market street depotit,.
and Sergeant Miller, who had been infordied of
their character, arrested one of them, and haying
consigned him to the care of an officer, pursued
the remaining fugitive. Ho overtook him in n
sione-vard, where the fellow stood at bay and
fought right valiantly for his liberty, and finally
tore himself from the grasp of the sergeant, leay.-
big both of his coats in his hands. Making his
way out of the atone-yard ho stole a blouse and
coat from a neighboring carpenter shop and
mode his escape. Before he left the
officer he drew his revolver and fired at
him, exclaiming, "Take that!" but fortunately
the shot did not take effect. The captured burr
glare gave their names as John Colbert, of Grand
street, Jersey City, and John Martini, of .AmitY
street, New York. The safe in the jewelry manu
factory, which contained about $5,004 worth of
property, was found to have been charged with
powder, but the thieve. appear to have been in
terrupted at the moment they were preparing for
the explosion.
Diabolical Outrage.
It is reported that as the seven o'clock morning
passenger train from Cincinnati was approaching
Meadville, Pa.. on. Saturday night. at - about
quarter before ten o'clock, some ruffian Breda
bullet into one of the cars, the missile entering
on one side of the vehicle and passing out
through the other. It was providential that_no
one was injured, as the ball passed in close
proximity to a lady with a child, who was on
bdard the train. A gentleman connected with a
well known mercyttile house In Boston was also
a passenger and narrowly escaped being Injured,
the ball passing within a few inches of his head
as he reclined near the window. There could be
little motive for such an act, save wanton bloosV.
thirstiness.
