LETTER FBOH PARIS.
[OorroaDondcacoot the Phlla. Evonlmr Ballotm.l
Pabis, Tuesday, Oct. 19, 1809.—The Depu
ties of the Deft, or at least a certain number of
them, publish this morning the manifesto
which has been so long Spoken of, and which
is at once a reply to the murmurs of a portion
of their own constituents against their inac
tion, and a protest against the suraoisov sus
picious, sulky, underhand policy at present
pursued by the Emperor and his ministers
with respect to the promised reforms. The
document, on the whole, is . creditable to the
good sense and firmness of the twenty
one members of the Democratic opposition
whose names ate appended to it. We are
asked, they begin by saying, whether we in
tend to go to tbe Chamber on the 26th of Oc
tober. "We intend to do nothing of the
kind," they reply, bluntly, honestly and
straightforwardly; and tho reply does them
credit, both for its frankness and sound judg
ment. And they proceed to give very good
reasons in favor of the conclusion they have
arrived at. If we went in a body to the
Chamber, they say, we should necessarily pro
voke a popular demonstration, of which
no one could foresee the extent
or the consequence, . and which would
be . staking the liberties we are-" just
on the point of reestablishing on the hazard
of a chance. When a quiet and pacific revo
lution is in progress, “of which the final re
sult becomes every day more and more inevi
table,” it would be the worst policy in the
world to give the government a chance of re
covering its position by a successful struggle
agaiust an insurrection. If the government
violates .its own constitution—a constitution
which ithas been pulling to pieces withits own
hand—it is no business of ours to vindicate it.
We shall wait for the openingof the session,
and then call the Executive, to account for
ait that it has been doing—for continuing
to net upon its own personal authority and
initiative at the very moment when it was
professing to have abandoned them; and for
the freshinsulte which it has thereby offered
to universal suffrage and the national sove
reignty in the person of its representatives.
There isnotking to object to in this language
and in the position which is taken up by it.
Thu- is a far superior and mere sensible mode
of speaking and acting than the traditional
policy of “descending into the streets”—that is,
of “making a fight of it,”—which has been so
constantly, and so unsuccessfully in tho
long run, followed by French democrats.
Only, what these men aim at openly and de
finitively is not only the curtailment of tho
personal authority of the Emperor, or even
the “pulling down” of the Second Empire, but
the “setting up” of. the Republic. Now, I
should have no hesitation in saying to these
gentlemen, just as frankly as they themselves
sav to their constituents that they won’t go to
the Chamber or provoke a demonstration on
the 3i:h—that in entertaining this design they
are laboring under a great mistake, and one'
which is sure to come to grief in the end. That
there are Bepublicans in France, and a good
many of them, is ho doubt quite true. But the
" nation ” is not republican; and for the best
reason in the world—because it feels that it is
neither fit to be, nor capable of being so.
There is a vast deal to do,' and to be learnt,
before the ignorant mass of the French people,
accustomed for centuries, and never more so
tbairof late, to be led, governed and cared for
By a strongly centralized authority—can be
brougbt-up to the level of “ self-government,’’
in anything like a really republican sense of
those words. It is more than probable
that any republican government which
should be established in France under
present circumstances would make itself more
concentrated and tyrannical, and leave even
k-ss play to individual action and energy,than
the government of the Empire itself. No true
friend of Republican principles desires to see
those principles caricatured and made a laugh
ing-stock of to the rest ofthe world; and such
I feel assurgd-thej/wouldbo made in France
if the experiment were tried over again now,
as it was in 1848-9. Yet it is by no means
impossible that the attempt may be made.
The Republican party, though not the most
numerous, is by far the most active, and its
stronghold is here in the capital. The
mistakes of the government may again, as In
1848,throw power into its hands; and then
again, if it only proves a failure a second, or
rather a third time,as I predict it will, the old
game will be played over again of some “strong
man,” mighty to “save,” coming uppermost
out of the universal turmoil, and the nation
once more prostrating itself at bis feet.
Here in Paris we are in a strange state of
chaos at present. The feeling of everybody is
as though the government had abdicated and
left the capital to take care of itself. The
mast unlimited liberty, not to say the most
, unbridled license, of the press, exists, and is
used and abused to the utmost- One's hair
stands on end when one reads the ferocious
ravings of the Rappel and the Reveil, and com
pares the existing state of things with what
was the case only a few months back. And
yet the government is perpetrating the egre
gious folly, of giving all this unwholesome
diet time to work, and bring the nation up to
fever heat, by postponing the meeting of the
Chambers till the 29th of next month, whon
it hopes to come forward with some sleeping
potion, which shall calm it down again. The
Emperor ahd a parcel pf old quacks like
M. Forcadc de la Raquette, tho Minister
of the Interior, who made himself so odious
and conspicuous at the last elections, are do wn
at Compiegne, tinkering up their miserable
old Constitution in a corner, and fancying
they are doing wonders, while all Paris is
literally “roaring”' with excitement, and the
whole country irritated and disgusted.
Whereas, if the government had faced the
Chamber at once, and said frankly, “Let us
come to an understanding about wfiat is to he
done and what ministers are to be appointed,”
it would have rallied to it all moderate,
men- and thrown confusion /among
its adversaries. To the present state; of
. public feeling every fresh cause' of ex
citement is dangerous; and here wo • are, at
this critical moment, in the midst of a formi
dable strike of all the young men employed in
the dry goods stores of Paris. Hundreds of
the employes of the immense estab
lishments .of the Louvre,. the do
Paris, the Petit St. Thomas, and others, have
combined to put an end to lotig hours, night
work and Sunday opening, ’fliey ask, very
reasonably, that tbeir day’s work should be

goods displayed In tho windows are all re-ar
ranged afresh and lighted up tilHOor 11 o’clock,
should be discontinued, as well as the practice
of keeping open on, the Sundays, This large
strike has added greatly to tho general excite
ment, and very nearly led to a breach of the
public peace. A band of young men began
to parade tbe streets two days ago, stationing
tbemseives before the principal dry goods
stores, and inviting, or rather summoning,
their comrades to turn out and join them.
They wore met atlast and dispersed by a large
police force,' and some arrests were made, for
tunately without serious consequence. But
the least thing might, bring on's conflict, of
which it might lie impossible to calculate tbe
result, when so many-other elements of com
bustion are in presence.
Still Another Horror,
Another Erie Railroad Accident-One Han
Roasted Alhe, and Fourteen Cars
Laden with Oil, Cotton and
Tobacco Ranted.
Pout Jebvis, November I.—A railroad ac
cident occurred near Narrowsburg, 26 miles
west of Port Jervis, at 4 o’clock this morning,
by which one man was burned to death, and
fourteen cars, loaded with coal, oil, tobacco
and cotton were entirely consumed.
When the fire had reached its height a
man was seen in the midst of- the glaring
flames, but it was impossible to approach near
isnough to render the victim any aid, and he
-was in a short time completely roasted His
name was James Bourke, and he was a brake
man on the train. It is supposed that he had
in some manner become fastened between the
cars in such a way as to beunable to extricate
himself before being suffocated by the rapidly
approaching flames. He .resided at Lacka
waxen.
The fire is supposed to have, originated from
the locomotive. Eight care of oil and six of
cotton and tobaceo were consumed. Trains
were detained until the evening.—WorW.
Another Account.
, NabboWsbdbg, N. Y., Monday, Nov. 1,
1869.—At 4 o’clock this morning an Erie Rail
way freight train, laden with petroleum, cot
ton and tobacco, eastward bound, when about
one mile west or this station, ran off the track,
owing to the breaking of a truck. One of the
oil cars took fire from some unexplained
cause, and almost instantaneously the whole
number of oil cars were enveloped in one
sheet of flame. .The fire spread to other care,
containing cotton, and tobacco, consuming six
freight and eight oil care, involving a heavy
Joss to the company. The scene presented by
the conflagration was grand and Tearful,
lighting up the snrrounding country for
miles.
As the fire was progressing one of the
brakemen, who had Deen missing, was seen
in the midst ofthe flames, between Wo of the
burning cars. The intensity of the heat ren
dered aU efforts to get him ont useless; besides
he must have b£en dead when first discovered..
The poor fellow had probably become fas
tened between the cars, or overtaken so
quickly by the flames as to render it, impos
sible to escape, and he was roasted to death,
allthat remained ef him being the charred
trank and bones. His name was James
Bourke, andhe resided at Lackawaxen,Penn
sylvania. Passenger trains were detained ten
hours by the accident. The track is now clear.

WBECK OF A BOSTON' WHALER.
£i£bt Dsjh Withont_F6yd» -Twenty-two
Uves Lost.
The' Hartford Courant published a detailed
account of the wreck of the whaling schooner
Susan N. Smith, of Boston, in August last,
and the suffering of the crew for eight days
without food or water. The story is fold Dy
Capt. Job £. Bounseville, master of the vessel,
who has just arrived in Hartford. The
schooner sailed Horn Boston on the 29th o
February, 1868, on a general whaling; voyage
on the Atlantic Ocean, with a crew of eighteen
seamen besides the captaih, his wife and two
children. On the 28th of August the wind had
been blowing fresh, and continued into the
night, but it was nothing like a. gale of wind.
At 2 o’clock the next night, so severe wa<
the tempest that, all hands wero called to
close-reef the sails- Half an hour later the
Wind blew a perfect hurricane,yet under close
sail the vessel was kept off before it and
plunged madly "through the heavy sea, the
high, rolling waves making clear over her
decks and sweeping every portable thing
away. At 3 o’clock, the gale still growing
more furious, toreUhe sails from their fasten
ings as if they were paper balloons, and, at
the same time, a heavy sya washed the deck
from stem to stern "-again, and every small,
boat was carried into the ocean. The vessel
then ran under bare poles until 4 o’clock, when
she “broached to”—that is, came t o the wind,
the manat the wheel evidently.losing all con
trol of the helm. This was tho critical
time, the high seas buried the vessel’s
rail some two or three feet under
water. Capt. Bounseville immediately seized
an axe and went forward to cut away the fore
mast, in order that the vessel might right np.
After cutting the rigging all clear he found the
mast wouldii’tr fall, and commenced cutting
that, hiit had not given more than two or three
blows before the schooner began to go gradu
ally, and in half a minute, at the longest, the
masts were lying upon the water, tne vessel
was clear over. At this time the wind was
blowing like a hurricane, and roared like
heavy thunder. The sea was. chopping ugly,
and dashing in wildly from'all quarters. The
going over, and all, was so quickly done, that
the captain could not change his position,
to get aft where his wife and children andmost
of ms crew were; for as soon as tho masts
touched the water the vessel settled down
bodily,and he was washed away from the fore
mast. After being in the water two or throe
minutes, most of the time under, he washed
against the rigging Of "the mainmast, and
caught there, getting badlylhurt in the breast
as he brought np heavily against the spar. He
got on to the rigging at the top of the most,
by crawling through the ratthngs, and there
found nearly, the whole crew anu the officers
collected and holding on to ropes and chains.
While there he secured himself with a rope,
and the first mate did the same. Hero were
twenty or more men- in therigging. The ves
sel righted on Wednesday, and four of tho
crew, besido the captain, remained upon
her. The" captain’s wife ’ andjmiklren per
ished in tho cabin during the storm,
and their bodies were washed away. Every
thing edible had been' washed out of the ves
sel. All through the wreck the captain and
bis four companions clung to the wreck
eight days without food or water! Thero is
hardly another such a case on record. The
testimofay of all is that the thought of food
scarcely entered their minds, birt their burn
ing thirst nearly drove them to distraction.
Eight days without a drop of water! It came
to ho, through this dreadful parching, that
neither one could talk. Eaoh tongue was
swollen, and hung without the mouth. As
it touched the roof of the mouth, it glued
thero, and peeled off in large flakes. On
Sunday morning tho first sail — that
had been in sight, • since the dis
aster occurred,appeared some distance off—too
far oft to be attracted; Tho little hope that
was excited suddenly departed,as the whitened
■(sails were lost to view in the distance. But
two hours’ later another vessel came in sight,
about three miles off, and here was new hope
to the wretched men, but tho vessel passed on,
unattracted lines of the wreck,
These two last (sad disappointments lod to the
raising of a signal of distress, and an old blue -
coat was hoisted. At about 4 o’clock in the
afterDOoh anothev Vessel appeared about four
miles to the windward, and before dark,
the captain of this Vessel (Captain Ox
ley of, the ship Flatwortli, on the way from
China to London) discovered the wreck, and
by dark bad got within 100 yards of it. He got
a boat out,aud sent it alongside. Capt.Bonnes
villeandhis companions were so Weak that
they could not stand, and by another day at
the longest' must have perished, and as tho
boat came up they slid into. it helplessly,’and
were taken to the Flatworth, where every at
tention was paid them by the kind-hearted
Englishman in command. When tajkeh off
two of the sailors were entirely naked, as they
had been during the whole week. The sun
bad blistered them, as it'jnMl'the captain and
others. All were the merest skeletons. Oapt.
Rounseville, who weighed, before the wreck,
190 pounds, las lost nearly 90 pounds in his
eight days of suffering! A teaspoonful of
brandy was given each one to start with, but
oven this was too nnieli' for their shattered
systems, and very soon after reaching the ship,
all were unconscious and remained in that
state for two days. On reaching London the
survivors were removed to the Bailors’ Homo
in Well street, where they met with every
attention. As soon as he was able Captain
Bouhseville published a card of thanks to .
Captain Oxley, and took measures to commu.
nicate his gallant conduct- to the American
Consul, through whom the Government will
be advised and will undoubtedly make some
suitable acknowledgment.

The prince of Woles at. » Churchman
and Dancer.
The Chester (England) correspondent of
tbe London Timm, writing on the 20th of
October, says:
General Knollys lias written as follows to
the Bishop of Chester:
“I am desired by the Prince of Walea'to re
quest that your lordship will accept for your
self, and convey to the Dean and Chapter of
tbe Cathedral Church and the clergy of the
'city, his sincere acknowledgments for their
address and cordial welcome to Chester, as
well as for the loyal attachment which they
have expressed tothe person and' family of
the Queen. It has : afforded his Boyal High
ness the highest gratification to have received
from any portion ofthe clergy of our Church
such an expression of their feelings towards*
him, and he desires to thank them from his
heart for their prayers and good wishes.”
The ball at. the now Town Hall was numer
ously attended, of course. The guests were
too many to dance, as a regular ball-goer would
understand dancing, and it was a long time
before there was mich comfort for the crushed
beauties. It cOnld not be otherwise when all
were anxious—detsrminedly anxious, some—
to see the Prince open the ball with the May
oress. This formality was gone through soon,
after eleven o’clock, and by and by the lookers
on began to remember that they had engage
ments penciled on theii dainty cards. The
Prince is a pleasant ball-room companion, and
his ease and natuial, unpretending manners
soon prove fatal to any trepidation to which
the Chester fair on« might happen to be vic
tims. The Prince danced often, and without
'allowing himself to be monopolized by any
one “set.” He chose his partners promiscu
ously, and, like a sensible Xellbw, tried' to en
joy himself during the little time he was left.
alone. --About midnight the Prince and some
friends came out upon the balcony, when .the
crowd, which happened then to be particu
larly dense, gave him a very hearty recep-,
tion.

. The FrenchEeMslative Deputies of the Beit
assembled in Fans, October 19, at noon, in
the residence of M. Jules Favre, to deliberate
on the terms in which a manifesto from the
Left should he drawn up. All the Paris mem
bers were present, except M. Thiers, then in
the south of France. The following is the
text of the document agreed to:
t To Our Fellow-Citizens: We are asked from
various quarters if we intend to repair to the
Chamber on October 26. We will not do so,
and for the following reasons: In proceeding _
there we should of necessity provoke a mani
festation of which no one'could, in present
circumstances,.regulate the march and the ex
tent, But we have no right to deliver up to
chance the fate of liberty now reviving.
When a grqat revolution —one eminently
pacific—has been commenced, when day by
dav its inevitable denouement is more clearly
perceived, there would be a great want of
tact in funiishing to tho government any. pre
text whatever to regain strength from a riot.
If the authorities trample under foot the con
stitutional rules which it lias itself traced out,
the democracy has for the moment only one
thing to do—to take note of such condnct
That constitution, which the government'
thinks fit to undo with its own hands, we
have been obliged to submit to, and we ought
not to attempt to restore it by taking up its
defence. . '
In this situation, we have, resolved to wait
for the actual opening of the next session.
Then wo shall call the executive to account
for this now insult to the nation, then w.e shall
show by the very experiment which has been
made during the last three months, that the
personal power, while pretending to give way
in presence of the public reprobation, has
never ceased to act and speak in the character
of a master. Then* we shall pursue on the
ground of universal suffrage and national
sovereignty— the only one that can henceforth
subsist —the work of democratic and radical
reform, the flag of which has been, placed by
the people in our hands.

evening of tho 21st of October state that at
that moment the party “Manifesto of the Left”
met with little favor from city journals, being--
hot only ' ridiculed and sneered at by the
governmental organs, hut reprehended very
generally by the democratic press. What is
curious in the comments is that some of the
ultra journals go just ns far in the severity of
their criticism as those of the conservative’
party, and that in no ease can a really frank
and outspoken cnlogium be found. |Wo sub
join an extract from the ConstituUomiel, which
says:
The great event has been accomplished.
Tho deputies of the left have met to draw up
their manifesto—were we in Spain we should
"Hay their prouunciamiento —on the convocation
of the legislative body. In this document, the,,
terms of which, as we are assured, were tho
object of keen and Irritating discussions,
wherein every worfl was weighed in the hoi
aiico of Ultra democratic orthodoxy, the small
est detail has itsdinportance/ The signers do
not speak of a violation of- the constitution;
they sfly that the constitutional regulations
have been trampled under foot. This point,
! we repeat, has its significance, after all that
has been said by the organs of the left about
the pretended violation of the constitutional
compact. The contents of the manifesto are
as meagre as possible. .. <V .
' Napoleon's Life in Real Danger.
A letter from Compiegne, France, of the
IK.Ji of October, relates the following ex
citing occurrence:
The Emperor, attended by General Pujol,
his aide-de-camp, and two orderly officers,
took a,walk yesterday in the town. In pass
ingifita the long avenuehis Majesty porcelved
a-cabriolet advancing at a rapid pace and was
obliged to step aside to avoid being run over.
Just aa the horse, which had taken the hit in
its teeth and conld not he stopped, arrived
opposite the. cavalry- barracks, a carbineer of
the Guard, a powerful man, placed hilnselfin
the middle or the road, and seizing the bridle
of the furious animal, succeeded; after a strug
gle in which a corporal lout his assistance, m
effectually subduing it. The Emperor com
plimented the ttvo soldiers on their, conrago,
and some hours after a chamberlain handed
them, from the Sovereign, a gold medal and
forty francs.
RUSSIA.
An Important Suasion front the East tA
the Czar.
The Invalids Jlime announces that an em
bassy is on its way from the Emir of Bokhara
to tho Czar. At the head of it is his High
ness’s fourth son, Seid-Abdu-Fattah-Khan,
twelve years of age, who is accompanied by
the father-in-law and brother-in-law of the
Emir, and twelve other persons.. In the offi
cial letters addressed to the Bussian general
officers, the ruler declares that the object of
this mission is to consolidate .good rela
tions with Bussia and to inform the
Emperor Alexander pf the hostile designs and
proceedings of the English and Afghans.
But, according to. non-official information,
the real aim is different, and perhaps more im
portant, viz: that of, securing the throne of
Bokhara to the before-mentioned son, for
whom the father has an unbounded affection.
The young prince has three elder brothers
who have oeen declared deposed from all right
of succession on account of .rebellion. The
eldest, Katty Turia, who is nineteen, has long
been attempting to dethrone his father, ana
very nearly attained his end , last year; but,
defeated near Karsch by the Russian troops,
he was obliged to fly to IChiva, to Implore the
help of the chief of that Khanat

A Mohammedan Procession.
The Fall Mall Gazette of Oct. 18th says:
i The. Empress of the French pir Friday
witnessed item a window of the Dolmabaeht
schePalace the Imperial procession to mid-,
day prayer at the Mosque of Beshiktach. The
Sultan was on horseback attended by a bril
liant escort.’ Subsequently her Majesty re
ceived the - members of the diplomatic body
and their wives at the Beglerbey Palace, and
then steamed np the Bosphorus m the Sultan’s
yacht to witness the promenade to the Sweet
Waters of Asia. The scene is said to have
been very interesting. The Empress and her
suite landed in state caiques at the Sultan’s
kiosk, and there a military reception
took place, music being played
by the hand. Her Majesty appeared
on the balcony of the kiosk, passed several
times round the sward and up the valley in an
open carriage, and afterward went on foot
among'the Turkish ladies. On her Majesty’s
return to Beglerbey Palace the grounds were
lighted up and the iron-clads and men-of-war
in the harbor were illuminated. A telegram
’ from thS special "correspondent of the Tele
graph states that on Saturday there was, a re
view of 20,000 troops at Beicos before the Sul
tan and the Empress. After the review, the
whole length, or the Bosphorus was illumi
nated;, the hills were lined with troops, sa
luting with platoon firing; the riggings of tho
men-of-war in the Bosphorus were brilliantly
illuminated with lamps; and fire-works were
thrown np from rafts moored on the water.

Dr. Livingstone's Travels and Kxplora
lions—Letter to tbe Herald—ln Want
of Supplies—The Sources of the Nile—
Tbe Doctor Uhtly to Bemaln Longer.
London, Hoy. 1, 1869.—A special news let
ter, dated at Zanzibar on the 9th of Septem
ber, states that the writer had pleasure in con
veying the information that on the day. previ
ous letters had been received by the British
Consul at that place from Dr. Livingstone, the
explorer. The communications were dated to
the Bth day of August, 1868.
Dr. Livingstone was in good health.
He spent the year previous exploring the
section of the country lying south of Tangam
jaka lake, which he found to contain many
small springs sr inner lake fountains, wlucli
he claims to he the true sources of the fiver
Nile.
Dr. Livingstone states that ho heard that
two different instalments of supplies had’
reached Uiji from ; .Zanzibar for his Use, but
they had been received at a time previous to
his arrival there, so as to have them
thus render them beneficial. In these letters
he requests that further supplies of necessaries
be despatched to him. including nautical in
struments and copies of, English almanacs for
the years 1869 and 1870. This fact indicates, it
is supposed, that the Doctor purposed remain
ing in the country for a lengthy period of
time, more particularly as he has given no
idea of his intentions for the future, and has
not mentioned at what place or point of the
territory he purposed to come out on his
journey homeward.
The letters are written on small scraps
of paper which Dr. Livingstone begged from
the Arabs, who conveyed the written
documents to the coast for transmission to
England.
Tho communications are exceedingly
meagre so far as regards general news.—

AMUSEMENTS.
“lost at sea,” at tub arch,
—A ruined hanker in the toils of a confidon
-tial clerk, - who aspires to the. hand of the
banker’s high-bred daughter; a self-sacrifi
cing nobleman, a broken-hearted maiden, a
long lest hero, who turns up all right at last,
and a boy who does the low comedy business—
these are the familiar characters which Mr.
Boucicault has strung together once more upon
a well-worn thread of a plot, and entitled the
rehash Lost «t Sea. Tho compilation is not a
particularly good one, l'or th 3 play is full of
incongruities and impossibilities of tne grossest'
character. The worst of these is the presence
of “Coram,” the hero, in the very family of
the man who is personating him and en
joying his fortune; and “Coram’s” familiarity
with the villainy of the piece without any
effort upon his part to prove his identity until
a long period has passed. Such tame submis
sion to outrageous villainy-never was and
never will be iii real life. Then wo have a no
bleman who loves a girl devotedly and yet
abandons her in the most cold-blooded milli
ner upon a mere hint from the villain that
such ah act would help her father: we have
also a panic, in which oven the Bank of Eng
land trembles, and this is produced with sin
gular facility by the disagreeable outfcasts,
who manage tho wickedness of the piece; and
then the hero is locked up in the garret
of a, house which is fired in order
to give the heroine a chance to prance around
over the rafters and save him from death.
Thcso incidents are coupled with others equally
suiprising; and there is a dialogue in the later
style of Boucicault, with plohty of slang, some
genuine humor, and very little true pathos or
sound sense. ’ There is nothing new; the
broken-hearted hanker business, the burning
house, the suicide from the bridge, the baffled
villainy, have dene service again aiid again in
English, French and American dramascapi-

—Miss lijicille Western’s • performance of
“Lady Isabel” and*‘Madame Vine” in* Seat :;
Lyrme attractedalarge audience to tlieWaL
nut last night-. While thero is a certain inele
gance—almost eoarsness, about- these ‘ per
sonations, itcannotbedoniedthattheypossessa
great deal of power. Throughoutthe whole plajr
there are passages which jar upon the nerves,
tones in the voice of the actress and movet- -
ments of her body which are harsh and rude; ’
hut the performance as a whole appeals
strongly to the feelings, and we really bellevn
it is impossible for the coldest person towit
n ess it without being deeply interested., and,
sometimes affected. The situation itself is full'
of pathos, and it needs that the actress shhli
only play with earnestness and sincerity,
of purpose ■ to win the sympathy of her
audience. We may incline- to ridicule
the exhibitions of feeling which always: at
tend the reproduction- of this drama, but wheat
one sits beneath the spell oi the actress it does
not seem unnatural that seme of the mote
sensitive should pay to her the tribute of their
tears. There were a . good many handker
chiefs in requisition last night. Home women,
cried outright, others wiped their eyes ifur
tively, as if they were ashamed of- such weak
ness, while more tban'orie man winked hard,
and looked away unconcernedly, as if some
thing in the gallery interested him at that
particular moment more, than the play. There
must he some genuine power in the woman,
who can held ner audience in thrall night*
after night in this fashion, and while we per
ceive in her acting grievous and offensive flaws
it is hut fair that we should acknowledge that
Bhe possesses the secret of controlling the
springs of emotion, and uses that secret most
effectively. . '

—Hermann, the magician, made his first ap
pearance at the Academy of -Music last night
in the presence of a large audience, Allof
the tricks were not new, as had been an-,
nounced; the gold fish feat, for instance, hav
ing been performed in this city over and over
again by Mr. Hermann during former engage
ments; but everything donowas interesting,
and astonishing, the production of the gold
fish particularly .being quite as surprlsing.as.if
we had nover seen it before; Hermann.per
forms all his feats with singular neatness and.
cleverness, and his entertainments are better
worth visiting tlian those of many others,
—The Zanfretta troupe of gymnasts ■ mqde
their appearance at the American. Theatre
list night, and gave one ofsfehe most wonder
lul performances ever presented in this city.
The Clodoche company oLeomie dancers were,
funnier than ever, and there were capitaljhai--
lets, farces, negro eccentricities and varieties
generally. The Zanfretta. performanoe alone
is worth the price of admission to those, who N
enjoy acrobatic feats.
—Duprez & Beuediot’s Seventh Street
Opera House will be open this evening, with
a new bill, which comprises comic onasenti
mental songs, agonizing conundrums, amus
ing interludes, negro oudities, farces, shadow
pantomine and everything that belongs to at
first-rate ministrel entertainment. This com- ~
pauy contains some of the best singers and
actors in this line of business in the country, :
and they present am entertainment vthat is
unsurpassed. .
—Win. L. Dennis, will deliver a hu
morous lecture:entitled “Dr. Dipps of Poney—
villo,” at Assembly Buildings this evening..

humorist, and to furnish an entertainment,
equal to any that can he presented by humor— •
ons lecturers of greater reputations.
► —Miss Laura Keene brought out at, tho-
Chestnut last evening a by Tjtm Tay
lor called The Unequal Matt*. There is noth
ing very novel in the plot; but there are sonny
good situations,.and tho dialogue is gpnerallsr
lively. Miss Keene, as “Hester Grazpbrook,
acted extremely well, entering- more into tne»
spirit of the piece than most or. the other pen—.,
formers. Miss Josephine Laurens,
deserves mention for her excellent
ance of the minor part of “Bessie- He&blO-*
tliwait.” The comedy is short and lively, and
with Blaek-eyeti Susan as the afterpiece foomsa
very pleasant evening's entertainment, Tnia,-
same bill is repeated this evening, andto,mov
vow evoning Slasks and Faces will be givep.
