®j|* J) HBB. | WEDNESDAY, NOT. 26, 1862. TIIE WAR. "The passage of great ri/ers in the presenoe Of the enemy,” raid Great, “is one of the most delicate operations in war.” This re mark was the result of a life-long experience in 'warfare, and while we have all the difficulty on the Rappahannock, we have the most pro mising meat s of overcoming it in an army sufficiently large to occupy the attention of the enemy , in front of his position, whilst a co lumn moves seorctly to the right or left' and makes a passage of the stream. Deli cate hb the operation of the Rappahannook may be> and disastrous as it may prove, General Burnside has evidently undertaken the task, and will suc cessfully cross the river upon whioh his army now lies, opposed by that of General tee. General Franklin’s grand division is now moving to a point on tho Rappahannook west of Fredericksburg (wo need not say where), and will cross that iver, flanking the rebel position, and main t lining his own. To check this movement) Jackson and Hill have been withdrawn from the Valley of the Shenandoah, and probably ordered to move east on the south bank of the Rappahan iiook, to oheok and flank Franklin., while Lee falls npon him with a largo ferae and annihilates him. The rebels are fully awaro of all available move ments of our army. Is it any wonder that the rebels are solioitous (not for their oapi tal, for .that is of little uso to us or them,) but for the hazardous position now held by their army? That Burnside has assumed the re* sponsible task of crowing the Rappahannook can not now bo doubted, and if he can foroe the enemy to concentrate and give him heavy battle, at or noar Fredericksburg, so much the bettor. It is a deli cate operation that is entrusted to Burnside, and one whieh, if well executed, will prove a sorry feint for the rebels, and ovinoo genuine military genius. Burnside has great advantages ov.r the enemy in ■•bis present position, and ho will certainly make use of them promptly as he has done heretofore. THE NEWS. A corresi’ondent, writing io us from Williams burg, Virginia, states that Companies I, IC, L, and M, of tho sth Pennsylvania Cavalry, under com mand of Captain Faith, of the latter company, re cently made a daring reoonnoissance to Burnt Or dinary, over thirty miles from Williamsburg, cap turing eight of the rebel pickets, a number of horses, and obtaining much valuable information. They made a complete oircuit of the rebel pickets without losing a man. - . Mr. Oakly, the proprietor of the Salisbury Pa per Mills in Orange county, N. Y , is manufac turing a strong brown paper from the fibre of the eat-tail, or Typha. He is also experimenting upon white paper, and hopes to succeed in obtaining a valuable fibre from tho reed. Thk Mayor of Halifax, Nova Sootia, in a speech at a private party in New York,-on Tuesday, de clared that Commander Maury, formerly of our navy, visited England for the purpose of taking command of eno of the ships building there for the rebels. ‘ Naval Defences Some of our local organizations are discus sing the condition of Philadelphia with mani fest anxiety. While we cannot think that there is as much danger as many of our friends seem to anticipate, the exploits of the Alabama privateer, and the well-assured fact that the agents of the rebels are building iron-clad steamers in European dockyards, give us • grounds foTcaution and .preparation. The members of the Board of Trade are now endea voring fo obtain aij iron clad steamer for our harbor defence by private subscription, in this effort they wijl be' assisted by the Com Exchange, a local commercial organization, and by the City Councils. It is proposed to build a war vessel on the plan of the : Monitor, with turret and low deck, and carry ing few guns of large calibre. Many of the members of the Board seem to look upon a visit of the Alabama or one of her fiendish' consorts as a nightly probability, and, if we shared their dread, weshou'd certainly recom mend ou T women and children to remove be- yond a oannon-range from the Delaware. Still, we can permit no gibe of ours to interfere with gu aVL by our citizens. The question is not wheffieF an iron-clad rebel steamer can pass Fort • Delaware unharmed, but to place us beyond . the possibility of such a disaster. Accord ing to Mr. Biobget, Gen. Tottes, one of the best authorities on the subject in the country, thinks that “any swift sailing Confederate steamer coaid run past the forts.” If this is a correct judgment, then Philadelphia is in a sad condition, indeed. r Iron has revolutionized modern naval war fare. England’s wooden walls have gone into poetry along with the shield of Agamemnon, the spear of Godfrey of Bouillon, and the shaft of Bobin Hood. We no longer have fanning breezes to cool, unruly waves to master, nor long weary chases from day to day. The Monitor would have saved Ville neube’s fame at Trafalgar, and that uncouth and eccentric little stinging-wasp would have laid London at the feet of Napoleon. When the Merrimac’s iron prow went through the Cumberland an old system perished, and a new one was born, and we can only succeed % our present contest with the South—we can only keep England at a respectful distance— by availing ourselves of the advantages so dearly purchased in Hampton Roads. It is to the credit of the Secretary of the Navy that be has done so much in so short space of time. This can only be realized when we state that there are how fifty-one iron-clad war vessels in the service of the United States and in the process of construction. Twenty two of these are-of light draught,'and in the Western waters. The Dunderberg is over 5,000 tons capacity, four are over 3,000 tons, and thirteen are over 1,000 tons. Ten carry over ten guns iu their armament, while others like the Monitor, which carry only two guns, are mounted with pieces of extraordinary calibre. This is but the beginning of what we propose to do, and we are justified in announcing the purpose of the Government to be the establishment of the largest navy upon the sea. We have now, as a beginning, nearly two husdred guns clothed in iron armor. Neither England nor France can say as much. • - Many of those vessels are not finished, and we recall the facts in relation to them as an answer to those gentlemen who criticise the Navy Department for not doing a duty which has been so whll performed, and to show that it is in the power of the Government hot only to defend itself from invasion, but to punish piracy on the seas and prevent contraband in tercourse with unfriendly neutral Powers. At the same time Philadelphia can do no more patriotic act than to build one or two iron clad steamers for our ijarbordefes.ee. Let the ladies of Philadelphia do their part in de fending the country by imitating the example of the ladies in some of the Southern cities. A single ornament less in every lady’s per sonal apparel would build three ships as large as the Monitor. They then would not only have the satisfaction of knowing that they had rendered Philadelphia thoroughly secure, but that a noble deed had been done in behalf of the Republic. Anglo-Gallic Mediation : The last intelligence from Europe has taken us.by surprise.: We allude, of course, to the official correspondence between Earl Russell and M. Drouyn de l’Hvys, respectively foreign niinisters of England and France. It appears that the French Government lately made a dormal proposition to England, and at the same time to Russia, suggesting that the three Powers should offer their mediation to the United States, in order to bring our civil war “to an end; also, that Rnssi&djflfenrf agreed to actively co-operate, “ althsjpgff;” Lord Rus- sell adds, “it may support the endeavors of England and France.” Here, at starting, '’Lord Russell takes a false position, by assum ing that Russia will support England and .France in their endeavors to end onr war. The Czab, from the first, has been the warm friend of the United States, and has unequivo •cally expressed his opinion against the foul treason which has matured into armedrebeliloa In the South. Lord Russell begs the ques tion, in his usual illogical manner, when he as sumes that Russia may support the endeavors pf England and France to put down the war, and thereby give a triumph to the South. The reply of Lord Russell to the French proposit’on smounts to a -confession that the pear is not yet ripe. Any premature Inter ference, he thinks, would not be accepted at Washington, and a refusal there would pre vent any speedy renewal of the offer. What the mediation wojjld be made' does not ex actly appear from the brief statement in the telegram from Cape Race of news brought by the steamer Arabia* but, as- far as can be judged from his somewhat confused letter Lord Russell’s idea of mediation is the giving ‘•friendly counsel” to the powers be at Washington. We suspect that M. Drouyn ns l’Huys, or his master, contemplates something mere tangible .than advice. Lord Russell, according to the English practice, wrote what the majority of the Bri tish Cabinethad agreed to—viz: non-interven tion at present. He did not express the opi nion of Lord Palmerston alone, but of the majority of his colleagues. Most probably, as Queen Victoria takes considerable personal interest in American affairs, Lord Russell’s despatch was submitted to her before it was sent to Paris. It maybe remembered that, in December, 1851, after ; Napoleon’s coup d’etat, Lord Palmerston 111mself, then Foreign Minister, was dismissed from the Russell Ad ministration by Victoria’s special command, because ho had written to the British Minister at Paris, approving of the coup d’etat, with out consulting the Queen The theory of tho British Constitution, that “ the King can do no wrong,” (which, however, did not save Charles I. from the scaffold, and Jambs II from deposition and exile,) throws upon the Ministers the responsibility for all that is done in the Sovereign’s name. Hence, British Sovereigns reign, but do not rule. If Queen Victoria had expressed herself not satisfied with the despatch, on me diation, addressed by Lord Russell to the Fo reign -Minister of France—a despatch which must have conveyed the opinion of the whole Cabinet—it is scarcely possible that Lord Rus sell, notoriously fond of place as he is, would . consent to withdraw: or materially alter it; most probably, he would receive her opinion with fow words of reply, intimate his regret that the despatch had*not mot her Majesty’s views, bow himself out of the Royal Closet, assemble his colleagues to inform them what had occur red, and, with them, at once resign office, not wishing to act against his convictions nor to be responsible for a policy of which he did not approve. At such a crisis, either the Queen would retain her Ministers, and sacrifice her opinion to theirs, or would accept their resig nation, and send for Lord Derby or some other statesman to form anew Administration, upon a principle different from that which Pal merston, Russell, and Company had asserted. For the most part, Ministerial action ia Eng land is but tbo carrying out of public opinion, and The Times acknowledges this when it de clared, when commenting upon Earl Russell’s despatch that “ his arguments have been anti ■ cipated by the public, and this is the best proof of their soundness.” M. Dhouyn de l’Huys, Foreign Minister of France, may have an opinion of his own re specting mediation in American affairs, but he can scarcely act upon it. He is but the mouthpiece of Napoleon, his master. If England 'has self government, France has the opposite—being governed by proxy through one man, in whose hand and head the whole power of the State is concentrated. To Na poleon the Third, ten years ago, France handed over herself and her territory, with an army and navy corresponding to her position among the nations, and the nearly illimitable command of all public money drawn out of the national treasury by taxation. It cannot ba denied that, under his sway, France has flou rished, and Paris has been made the prize metropolis of the world. Oddly enough, Victoria, an hereditary so vereign, is constitutionally irresponsible, or above the law, in England, while Napoleon, elected Emperor “by the grace of God and the will of the French people,” is as irre sponsible as the Czar of Russia or the SulUn of Turkey. The whole executive power; with out any control, is exfercised by this man. He proposes the laws. He declares war,' and makes treaties of peace, alliance, and com merce. He appoints his successor, and can change the order of succession. He has un limited power—yet, by a pleasant fiction, the French Constitution (about the twentieth during the last eighty years; declares, in its fifth article, that be is “ the responsible chief of the French Government,” while the sixth article defines this responsibility: “the Em peror is responsible to the French people, to whom he has always a right to appeal.” That ~mtfawa,“‘l:o io aCI-Umiiahi,, nnly [O SOUI- ill>-0 millions of' adult Frenchmen, whose -vote, if ever he should be ta a tight place, would pro bably help him out of it. His Ministers do not govern. It is the Emperor who is the head and front, the first and last, of every thing. He has Ministers rather to carry out his will than themselves to initiate any action. He has noftuch thing as a Cabinet, as it is understood here and in England. Still, each Minister is liable to be impeached by the Se nate—to be punished, too, by that body, for carrying out their imperial master’s instruc tions. That is, if he does wrong, they, who have done his bidding, are to suffer. Under such circumstances, we are bound to consider the French o verture of “ mediation,” not as done by M. Drouth be l’Huvs, from whom it came, but as emanating directly from Napoleon himself. That, of all men reigoiag in Europe, he should make such a proposal, at this time, does greatly surprise ns. Not alone that it is made at a time when all the chances of the war are undeniably in favor of the North, but because Napoleon had professed, and he has hitherto fairly carried out, neu trality in this war, and our.relations with him have been always not only friendly, but cordial. He has refused to give any official reception to the Commissioner sent to* I ranee by the . rebellious South. In short, he 'has behaved very well all through the centest—yet now ad dresses Russia and England with a suggestion of mediation. We frankly admit that his policy is inexplicable. England’s refusal to join, as yet, in an offer of mediation is merely a matter of policy. What is the use of making a pretence of neu trality, of issuing a royal order proclaiming it, when shipbuilders in Birkenhead and Glasgow are permitted to supply the South with war vessels, with’ cannon, small arms, and ammu nition ; while, when Lord Russell was ap plied to for a special order to allow our steamer TuscarCra to coal at Kingston, in Dublin Bay, a plump refusal was’ the reply ? nad England, as became a great nation, really enforced the neutrality principle, she would have gained a permanent and powerful friend in this coun try. But her Consuls have been the partisans of rebellion in the South j Nassau, in the Ba hama Islands, has been the port of rendezvous for rebel pirates and for British ships rnnniug the blockade under the Union Jack of Eng land; and the British, Government, which might have checked these breaches of neu trality, has done nothing. We await her ac tion in re the Alabama, commanded by the pirate Semjies. We repeat that England should rejoice in our misfortunes is what her whole Past would have led us to expect, but that France, which has . been bound to ns by mutual good feeling ever since our War of In dependence, should do so, at - once surprises and gritves, though it certainly does not alarm, us. We shall not allow any foreign Power or Powers to intermeddle in onr home affairs. • : . Palmerston, Lewis, ; and Gladstone We were anxious, every man has been anxious, to learn what action Lord Palmer ston, as Prime Minister of England, would take upon Mr. Gladstone’s declaration at Newcastle that" Jefferson Davis had made the South a nation; that the “ time might ar rive (i. e. was at it would be the duty of England to ottePwe'word of expostu lation or of friendly aid towards composing the qharrel;” and that the contest most terminate in the disruption of the Union and the triumph of the South . There were three courses for Palmerston: to repudiate Mr. Gladstone’s declaration and turn him out of the Cabinet, to adopt and endorse it, or to hold his tongue. Lord Palmerston has de termined on the third course—that of mas terly inactivity. in speechmaking at Win chester, in Hampshire, not far from which old city he was born over seventy-eight years ago, he cautiously avoided all allusion to the affairs of this country.' So far, then, he allowed Mr. Gladstone’s rhetorical flourishes in praise of the South and in favor of Seces sion to make their expected impression on the world’s mind. That one of the Eng lish Cabinet is allowed to maintain that Jef ferson .Davis has made the South “a na tion,” and that it is about time for Europe to interfere and acknowledge her as such. ’ ■ In the Palmerston Cabinet is an honest eamest geptleman, named Sir George Corn wall Lewis, how War Secretary, who is ter ribly out of place in office, who was editor of the Edinburgh Rtrieic for two years, but whose proper station would be as teacher of sa Grammar School. His occupation is tho : composition and publication cf heavy books npon the literature, the scientific acquire ments,- and the history, of ancient nations; his official duties appear mere episodes in his life. He speaks about as well as most mem bers of the House of Commons speak—which means badly enough. But Sir Georgh Lewis has the reputation of being an' honest man; nobody has* a higher moral character, and, though he is a heavy speaker, hummiog and hawing to give utterance to his thoughts, he has, the rare official merit of saying what really is in his mind. It may bo supposed that such a man is not often put forward to defend his colleagues in Parliament. Sir George Lewis, like other poor speakers, is fond of airing his vocabulary in public. In the Parliamentary recess, he, also, made speeches. He emphatically denied Mr. Gladstone’s declaration at Newcastle, and plainly declared against the recognition of the South, on the obvious ground that Rebel dom has not yet accomplished the national independence, which is the final result to bo acknowledged. Here, then, is declaration against declaration, one Cabinet minister against the other, George Cornwall Lewis against William Ewart Gladstone. Surely this looks very like that political anomaly, a divided Cabinet! Let us see. Mr. Gladstone madfe his Newcastle speech on the 7th of October. Two days later, he made another speech, at Sunderland, which has not found its way into any American paper. In this, he repeated much of what he had said at Newcastle, (which shows that he expressed his anti-Union views with full knowledge of their bearing',) and proudly said, “ On behalf of the distinguished noble man at the head of the Government, on behalf of Earl Russell, the Foreign Secretary, on behalf of a united Cabinet, I assure you that, as it has been their study, so it will be their study, in whatever they. maybe called upon to say or do with respect to that great Italian question, to_make themselves faithful .organs of what they know to be the deep-rooted con viction of the people of this country.” Did he speak on behalf ot Palmerston, of Rus sell, and of "a united Cabinet, at Sunderland, on Thursday, and not pn their and its behalf, at Newcastle, on the Tuesday before? Was be speaking only for himself at one place, and for himselt and all his- colleagues at another place, two days later?. No. If he was tho mouthpiece of “ a united Cabinet” on Thurs day, be was equally so on Tuesday, and his Newcastle speech is to be held as expressing the, opinion of the Government.' If Mr. Gladstone has intimated a falsehood. It seems, by Sir G. 0. Lewis opposing the: suggested recognition of the South, that he, for one, does not endorse Mr. Gladstone.; Therefore, there is not “ a united Cabinet” as regards this American question. Lewis is for the Union : Gladstone is dead against it: Palmebston is non-committal—probably be cause he knows what Queen Victoria’s views are ; public opinion declaring her to be inimi cal to Slavery and friendly to our Union. Next, the existence of a divided Cabinet being certain, (for Lewis and Gladstone differ, to say nothing of others,) wkat will Palmerston do, in the ensuing Parliamentary Session? The Palmerston Cabinet at present consists of sixteen noblemen and commoners holding offices of high power, responsibility, and emolument. It has always been undersSod that the Cabinet must meet on the neutral ground of acquiescence in the ruling principles of. the Administration. But, from the difficulty of finding perfect unanimity of opinion upon all public subjects, the practice has boon occa sionally to treat some difficult points, on which opinion varies, as open questions. Thus, du ring the whole time that Lord Castlereaoh and Mr. Canning were Cabinet ministers, though the various Administrations to which they belonged were notoriously anti-Citholic, both statesmen invariably supported the measure of Catholic Emancipation. Their colleagues resisted it, speaking and voting against it, but Castlereagh and Canning spoke and voted for it. Thus, then, there was a divided Cabinet, whenever one or other of these men was in office. There is a divided Cabinet now on American affairs. The trouble, at present, is to know whether the recognition of the South, Mr. Jeff. Davis’s “ nation,” is to be an open question or not. If it is so to he, Gladstone may express -Rio .individual opinion in favor of slavery and the South, -{-fcfarac--are linked together,) but should avoid uttering the monstrous asser tion that he speaks the opinio.n_of-si-»- iu “* <> < 1 -' Cabinet.”_ J.=wis~~may think and talk the - other way, as a Cabinet minister, with a private opinion, and Palmerston, imitating Lord Burleigh in “ The Critic,” may continue to show his neutrality, by holding his tODgue, and simply shaking his head. If the recog nition of the South is not “ an open question ” .in the British Cabinet, it is obvious that, ere Parliament reassembles, either Lewis or Gladstone will have to resign office. We suspect that were there that window in the breast, of which Mr. Guinness once spoke, exposed to view in Palmers'-, ton’s case, those who looked through it would not find any very decided regret at the idea of parting with his friend Gladstone. His financial measures have not generally suc ceeded, but he has the ear of the commercial party,-and it would'puzzle Palmerston to re place him just now. However, Parliament’ will not meet until January* and no one can predict what may happen ere that time. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, Nbv. 2-5, 1862 When Macbeth is called out of his pre tended sleep to contemplate the features of the dead King, he had slaughtered with his own hands, in his own castle, he so well simu lates and imitates the general grief, as mo mentarily to deceive even those upon whom the assassin’s blow had, -next to the royal martyr, fallen most heavily, and, in a torrent of affected agony, exclaims : ' “Had I bet die 1»n hour before this chance I bad lived a blessed time;.for,from this instant, There’s nothing serious in mortality; Alt is bnt tf-js; renown and grace is dead; The wire of life is drawn, and the mere ieos Is left thii vault to brag of.” The same emotions that stir the heart of the spectator as he witnesses the performance of Macbeth in this great scene by an actor like Forrest, will be felt by every reader of the two letters which have lately been pub lished under the name of James Buchanan in the columns of the' National Intelligencer of this city—-the last appears in that paper of to-day. I need not draw the contrast between the Macbeth of, Sbakspeare and the Macbeth of the present day—between the man who deliberately connived at .the overthrow of' bis country, and persistently at the disgrace and degradation of his own parly, aid who does not hesitate, like the bloody Scotchman, to attempt to defend his ingratitude, and to give an air of sincerity to his apologies for the guilty proceedings of his Administration—for this contrast must occur to the most ordinary observer.

Gen. McClellan is not disposed, .1 perceive to oblige the wretched politicians who tried to persuade him that he is a grossly injured man, and that he should become a gross and shamolesß enemy of the Administration of the Federal Government, and even when the doubtful embraces of the miserable clique at Trenton, New Jersey, were extended to him. he avoided them; and I am not sorry"tjut the somewhat hazardous experiment of goin» to New York, and of allowing the visits of the sympathizers in that quarter, has resulted~m giving to them the same chilly shoulder.

Men are nothing, and when, in the far-off future, our posterity come to estimate the legacy of this war, they will either rejoice, over it as-the re sult of the disinterested patriotism of their fathers, or mourn over it as the result of their weakness and their divisions. Occasional. A New Poem.

Hitherto Mr. Stoddard has been known as a writer of charming lyrics and other short poems: but the “King’s Bell” is a more ambitious effort, extending through twelve or fifteen Bundred lines, and .containing all the varieties of plot and of incident that charac terize the epic. It will be published early in December, by Cariefon, of New York. FROM WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to “ The Press.” Washixgton. November 25.1802. From the Array of the Potomac.

The latter opinion is more prevalent than the former one, and I should not be surprised, from present appearances, thatit would be the correct one; es pecially in view of the fact that the rebel Government have- great confidence in Jackson’s executing rapid movements, and that they thinkbe Isthe best m»n for an emergency.

[Correspondence cf Tho Press J Nhw Tore, November 25, 1862. ct le pardon de ploermel”—DEßUT OF AN- giolina cordier. The weather lest night was propitious for anything agreeable, whether the lover’s BOlitsry stroll, or tbo stately sweep of multitudinous equipages to opera or rout. Through an atmosphere of tho purity and cool ness of a diamond the crescent moon shed the milder ra diance ef a natural pearl, and the lights in the streets had that clear- cut brightness whtoh suggests the radi ance of,fire without its warmth; u And over all'the stars were east, As though a summer noon Had broken into seeds of light Before the gard’ner moon ” It was jutt the night Tor a new opera and a new prims donna, and shortly before eight o’clock- the aristocratic avennoß leading to tho Academy of Music commenced to Greek, rattle, and snap with the incursion ot ail the glos siest wheels and airiest hoops jerialnfng to circumja cent upper tendom. Tho production ol the now opera was an occasion to bring ouPtho gennioe-foa, In its most exclusive dignity, and give the hereditary nabobs and dameß of the ancien regime a .fitting publto opportunity to wiiher, by their disdainful elegance, tho tawdry vul garity oflhe new-born shoddy ariitocraoy. Tbe plainly, costly carriage of the Fitz-LivingstODes,' with its authen ticated orest upon tbe panels, rubbed contemptuously against the silver-plated hubs of the vulgar Jonesei’ red aud maroon new chariot; and tbe distinguished coach man of the Van Benssaloars, in his black, velvet ribbed livery, could not repress his pity and contempt for the ankwatd agitation of drivership evinced by the Tim mimes’ raw coachy in buff and brown. Tbero was a study for the philosopher in that jostle of carriages, no less than in-the lofty, bridling airs of the rival aristocra cies,‘aß they bruahod past each other i n tho vestibule of tbe opera house. There were a goodly number of art-seokors on Toot, too—these well-dressed masculines wto are never seen anywhere else in the world than around the inner wails of the Actdemy on opera, nights, and who will never fate seats, though one-half the parquet gapes with in viting emptiness, Xast night, however, these clrcumam- Mint nonentities were rendered notable in their unbend ing disposition by no vacant chalrs, for every seat in the vast theatre had its legitimate occupant. Long before the dress coated and white-kidded Muzio ascended his orchestral throne and waved his baton , the house was overflowing with the opposition creams of society, and to survey the tout ensemble from a point near tho Rtage, was to fancy that a very largo stone had boon thrown into the waters of fashion, to produce such a succession -of ever-widening circles of full-dress. And before Bnch an assemblage as this wss presented, for the first time in New Fork, Meyerbeer’s-Opera of “Dlnorah; or, The Pardon of Plceraol.” ' Before proceeding to the resnlt, let me-venters a bit of explanation not found in the 11 books of the Opsra.” In BritiaDy, where the scene of this composition Is laid, a “ Pai don ” is a village festival, generally given on the day dedicated to the patron-saint of the parish, and equivalent to a French f&te champetre, a German heremese, or an ffiugllsh wake. Though there is a tra dition that those who perform certain religions exercises on that day.will be pardoned for all their past transgres sions, the ** Pardon ” is more of a licentious merry making than a devotional demonstration, one of its most serious episodes, perhaps, being the wedding of two rus tics, at which tho bride sings a time honored song to show that marriage is the end of all woman’s social •beppinets.. The overture to “ Dinorah” is in iieelf a musical dra ma. It is a lengthy symphony, assisted in places by an invisible chorus of villagers, and tells all tho story not supplied in tbe opera. Iloel, a goatherd,, and Dinorah, bis betrothed, start with a party of their friends from tbs bride’sfaiher, logo to the “ Pardon” at Ploermel, and Be married.. Thoy have jnst left tho paternal roof, and chauntlng hymns to the Virgin, when a terrific thunder storm bnreis over their hetds; Dinorah': home is struck by lightning and consumed. This event disperses the procession in utter disorder, and floe! finds himself stand ing alone beside the smoking ruins of his Dinorah.': pa trimony. The calamity fills him with hopeless despair, under tbe inflaence of which he heeds the temp tation cf an old enchanter, who tell* him of rich hidden treasure which he can gain by secretly absenting himself from heme a year. Upon his return, the spirits having the treasure in charge will deliver it up to him ; though he must get some one else to touch it first, as the first touch will produce death. In obedience to this instruction, the despairing Heel immediately makes off. Dinorah, not knowing the truth, believes that her lover has aban ■ doned her. and becemes a' maniac ; roaming the woods and mountains with her pet goat, and looking for the re creant goatherd. The year of probation passes, Hotl returns to olalmhii bride and treasure, and there the first act of the opera commences. This extensive overture is a splendid piece of dramatic wiiting in music, and almost speaks its story. The set ting out cf the bridal party ; the hymns cf the va Hagers, the sodden tempest, and burning cottage; the despair of the goatherd; the cralt of the wizard; the mad flight of the desperate lover, and his half- distrustful, solitary re turn, are all vividly and sympathetically painted to the senses in artistic graduations and culminations of harmo nious sound. In the first act, we have first a chorus among. tho rooks >round an open cabin, by villagers; then appears Go rentino, a bagpiper (Brlgnoii), whose cabin it is, return ing with bis bagpipe from a neighboring village. He en ters his cabin, and commences playing, to divert bimeeif, when Dinorah appears in the back-ground, and having sufig a wild air among the rocks,-descends and enters the cabin. . Here we had the first appearance of Oordier, who was handsomely received by the audience. She is a sprightly looking-brunette,• af medium height, with regular and -exprestlve feature*, a wicked-black eye, and a trim figure- “Her voice ia a soprano, very sweet and dear in the middle register, but apparently rather thin, and noj far-reaching In the upper. ~Bhe is thoroughly Frenob in all her ttyle, reminding ibe auditor somewhat of Oolsoa. - oottegoot Oortnlino and is fright ening that timid individual sadly with her wild scraps of EODg and dance, when Bjknoofcat the door cause, her to disappear precipitately through a window. The new comer proves to be the returning Hoel (Amodio), who no sooner sees "Cortntino than he forms the plan of In ducing the latter to touch the hidden treasure first, of. faring him half of it for his trouble. Corentino, at first, is terrified at the idea; but, after being plied with liquor, consents: The pair start out together, and are going up the recks on the way to the enchanted cave, when Dino rah’s goat crosses the. path -before. them, and Dinorah appears in pursuit Then ensues a very picturesque terzetto, or trio— " Piano, pianino 1 Suoro argentino." —accompanied by the tinkle of the goat’s bell in the dis fence. In tbit act the music is little more than descriptive, save in the firet scene, where Dinorah, addressing her absent goat, eirgß it a pretty cradle song—“ Si, aarina, ccpveUina.” Cordier, through a very natural nSrvons ness, hardly did justice to this charming little’trifle Brignoli was too dignified to act his rdle, whichlsapnre hDffo, wtfb sny comic spirit whatever. He was indexi ble and Inmbering in it, as he is in everything else, and made it intolerably stupid. I should very much like to see Mr. Brlgnoii give: inch a performance on the opera, tie stage of a European metropolis. He would hear the geese in no time. Amodio also did very poorly in this act, though there was not much temptation to effort in what he had to do. Soon after the falling of the act-drop the audience caught a glimpse of General McClellan, who had just en tered Duncan & Sherman’s proscenium ; box, and about twenty voices (certainly not more) called for him to step to the front This be deolined to do, though two ladies appeared to be persuading him. In the -box directly under this one eat Mib. Mrs James Gordon Bennett The second act of the opera opsns with a' moonlight scene in the woods, and a drnnken chorus by inebriated .villagers. The latter stagger off, and Dinordh comet running in, calling for Hoel She perceives that her figure casts a shadow in the moonlight, and, taking it for a companion, Bhe talks to and dances with it 11 Ombra leegiera, Monte u’ andar,” etc. In this charming concert Oordier was delightful- The air literally dances of itself, and she tripped it off with a vocal flexibility and girlish naivete allegethsr irresisti ble. An encore was persisted in, and the prima donna had reason to be proud of her ovation. After this the scene changes toa desert plain, with rocks in the back; grtund, and a ravine bridged by a fallen tree. Hoe land Gorenlino are. still. goiDg after the treasure, when the goal again passes before them, crossing the bridge, and Dinorah again appears in pursuit. At her appearance, Coreniino fOTma the idea of making her touch the en chanted treasure first, and addresses her to that end. She re!ponds with vague catches of song,.some of them suchas: ... <* Through the wild wood gaily ringing Floats the song bird's joyous Isy; The soft mnrmnr upwards springing, Fills the sweet grove all the day being very pretty.. Finally, she attempts to cross the -ravine cn the tree-trunk to follow her' goat, when 'the tree is struck by lightning, and plunges her Into the foaming water. At the instant Sotl recognises her as Ms long-lost bride, and plunges in after her. Here the act dosed with very little applause. And how tbe audience again aawGeneral McClellan, ..who was saluting Mrs.-' Lincoln In Mis. Bennett’s box, and again called for him. “ Little Mac” hastily retreat ed to Duncan & Gherman’s again, and, after much press-, leg by John Van Bares and the ladies la the box, was induced to step to the front At the same moment, General Banks was noticed in Mrs. Bennett’s logs, and there wtre scattering cheers for both Generals. Taking the hint, Muzio started “Hail Columbia!” with his full orchestra, and followed it np with the “ Star- Spangled Banner,” the whole audience rising to the latter. The scene was well gotten up, but the enthusiasm was brief arid superficial. McOleHan appeared to feet somewhat and bowed very much as though bowing were a sad trial. The third act of the opera opena in a “ rural' spot.” Susini appeared as a hunter, and sang a hunting song with only tolerable success. Then followed-' Brigneli, as a reaper, (for this scene only,) singing A* reaper’s song very 'psoriy. Next came a pretty ViantUa—" Sui prati tutt inJior”—bj two goatherds, one of them the new contralto, Horensi. This Wat only "passably given. After these,' Soil enters, bearing the insanslble Binorah, whom he has rescued from drowning. He lays her upon shank, and sings her back to consciousness with a fine romanza: “ In guesto loco, un anno apunis, etc '’, The cold bath has restored her reason, and she asks if she has been dreaming i Soil catches at the idea, and makesher-beiieve she Aoi been dreaming. .Then ehere - calls the *« pardon,” and tries to recall the hymn she wag Binging when the fell asleep. The approaching villagers strike np Ibe hymn, and eeme ,upon the stage singing It. Wngrah ano Soil join, and then - follows a florid or in of general rejoicing, with which the opera ends. It is scarcely just to criticize each a composition as “Dinoreh” oh its first night, and especially whore a sin gle primahonna is the only one in the caste apparently capable of either singing or acting well in It; bat it is sate to say (hat the orchestra has the best of the music all to iteelf,' and that the “-Ombre leggtera” is the only thing in it cf popular capabilities. Thir, aa the reader is pro bably aware, Is Interpolated' in the translated play of ii Fanchon,” and constitutes ita finest scene. The audience received the whcte performance (ex-' cepting this) veiy coolly, and eridsatly felt bored by the greater part ot it. Aside from souiaof ita gems of Instru mentation, “ Dinorah” can bard ly be ranked above a very artinary comic opera, hardly worth the very ex pensive-order of talent requlred to give It fall offset. _' A NEWSPAPER RSTQLKITOS. In previous letters I have spoken of the effect of the. rii<- in paper upon.the press ot this city, and noticed tire - interest of the Herald to be the last paper , to raise tig .price whatever it might lose by the delay.-. The objeot 1 0 f the ii Satanic” in this was to try Its rivals to severely that i t might dictate terms to them. There was a aesrte log of the “Associated Frees” yesterday, when the .He rald dictated the price 'of fire cents to Its co temporaries as the future figure for them, and they dared not refuse to honor their master’s mandate. Possibly, four cents may yet be agreed upon. To give the city papersaill pos sible chance to sustain themselves under the one-hun dred percent increase in price, it has been decided, I learn, that ail papers published out of the city shall be aomhiarily deprived of the Associated-Press telegraphic news, with a rlew to giving the four-cent dallies a mo nopoly of the war news.

THE TAX ON WOODEN AND COTTON GOODS. The bill in eauity, filed some two weeks ago, byH Haglee Bruner vs. Delos P. Bouthworfh, United States assessor, and James W. Mania, assistant United States assessor for the Fourth collection district of Pennsylva nia, ana which was published at the time lit our columns, was.called up yes.erday morning. l Judge Grier, for whose attendance tbe postponement was had, was not present. The principal joints In the bill are those set ting forth that the complainant has been engaged in the manufacture of cotton end woolen goods prior to, and since the fitet of September, on which a certain excise tax was imposed by the tax law recentiy ’pissed by'Con gress, and making sales thereof, and o&asionaUy con signing saio goods to agents and factors,for sale. Tbat said assessor and assistant assessor threaten and intend, as yonr orator avers, to assess and collect said excise tax from -yonr orator upon nich goods as were manufactured and sold by hitti prior to the Ist day ot October last, and upon such goods as. have been and shall be consigned by your orator to agents or factors foT SBlt or unsold, being in the stores or warehouses of such factors. or agents; and also threaten andin tend to easess and collect a tax of three per cent, ad valorem upon- such goods sold and consigned, and to be sold and consigned, as aforesaid, by your orator.
