The great succers of the OPERA TROUPE in St. Louis during the recent season there in- duced the Director, previous to his departure for the East, to ent+rinto an engagement fur_return- ing before finally closing the season, That ar- rangement will positively preclude extending the season in this city beyond the TEN NIGHTS advertised, It is estimated that upwards seven thousand people made application for seats in St. Lovis after the entire house was sold for the sea- son and were unable to gain admittance upon any terms, hence the Director’s determination to re- turn after fulfilling hisenzagement East. fe 24 te BANKERS.

Stephens, from Mazatlan, brings 275,000 in treasure and & quantity of silver ore. Mazatlan is entirely blocked up. Noonecan go to the interior except at the risk of his life. Trade is at a stand etl. The Mexican guerrillas are very bold, and ne eesaoe shoot on the spot all whom they catch, Lately the French burned eight villages be- cause the people had not given notiee of the approach of the guerrillas. A French officer who brought in twenty-four guerrillas as prisoners was severely repri- manded for not shooting them at the time of their capture. The war news from the interior and lewer coast is very unreliable and contradictory. No French expedition will leave for Sonora and Lower Ualifornia until Senaboa is pacifi- cated There is nothing more about the Gwin colo bization project. Pesqnis is still at Guayamus recruiting and drilling his troops. The agents of the American and Mexican Telegraph Railroad Line haye been granted an extension of time. The San Francisco government have re- solved to join in the national celebration on the, 4th of March. FROM TENNESSEE. A rebel Enterprise Frustrated—-Scheme to Destroy Government Property—Capture ofall Engaged init. CHATTANOOGA, March 2.—The Gazette has lengthy details of the capture of a rebel yawl, with fourteen men, at Chapman's lanaing, be- low Kingston, on the Tennessee side, by seyen loyal Tennesseeans. The yawl was armed with torpedoes for the destruction of Goyern- ment property. The party were ‘regularly uniformed, and acting under orders of the rebel Navy Depart- ment. The yaw! was built in Richmond, brought to Bristol on the cars, placed on the Holston, and thence, with muiiled oars, taken to the place of its capture. The instructions were not to destroy or dis- turb anything till they got below Kingston, when they were to destroy the Government property It was hoped, also,to destroy the ‘warehouses and rolling mills at this place. The whole enterprise was in charge of scie tific officers. The rebels are chagrined at being outwitted by half their number, after having ron the gauntlet of soldiers at Knoxyille, Kingston, and other points on the route. Grovers German Opera. * PHILADELPHIA, March 2.—Notwithstand- ing the weather the Academy is crowded to- night te its fullest capacity with a most tash- ionable audience to enjoy the Fidelioby Gro- yer’s Grand German Opera Troupe. FROM THE SOUTH. The Rebels expect an attack from Grant— Criminations and Recriminations ongst the Rebel Authorities, {From the Richmond Dispatch, Feb. 25.} All quiet and buried in the mud an this side of James river, On Saturday night, during the progress of & considerable fire which took place in Peters- burg, the enemy threw several shells into the city, which drew the fire of our batteries, when a spirited aritllery duel, of two hours | duration, ensued. Grantis believed to have the whole of the army of the Potomac, except the 9th corps, massed in the neighborhood of Hatcher's Run, ready for another dash at the Southside rail- road. The miry condition ot the roads is thougnt to have delayed an attack which he contemplated on Saturday. On Friday he moved a considerable force of artillery to nis lett. The 9th corps alone are now said to be holding the lines between the Weldon road and the Appomattox. Suggestions for our People. {From the Richmond Enquirer, Feb. 27} It does not seem inappropriate to suggest to our people, in the present crisis, some of the reflections with which the brave soldier en- courages himeelf in battle and quiets tke sug- gestions of apprebension and alarm. ‘They are submitted with the hope that they will serve to dispel some of the fears that timidity, the love of ease and property, or secret Doottilty to our cauge so industriously propa- gated. The eve of battle, every soldier knows, is fruitful of all kinds of startling rumors and Teports. The strength of the enemy is then always exaggerated,bis movements and designs are misrepresented, and dangers magnified and even invented. Such seems to be the case with the people of the Confederacy at this time. The air is filled with alarming rumors; every fear has found a voice, and every ear is open to the tale it tells. measures of precaution are construed to presage disaster. When the wagons and sick are ordered to the rear, it is inferred that the army is about to retreat. It is time to proclaim orderin the ranks and give the reassuring command, “steady!” Let every man return to his post and give all his energy to the perfor- mance of his duty, while he listens to the word of encouragement from the soldier in the front. Regard all street rumors as the soldiers do those of the camp. They know thatnone of the latter are wholy true, and most of them entirely false. They only frighten those who are already scared. Try to trace one ot them to,its source, and you will find that, in ninety- nine cases outof a hundred, the evidence in support of it weuld fail to convince a rational and cool man of the least important fact. Measures of precaution do not indicate donbt of success. To take off one’s clothes before going into the water does not prove that one expects tobe drowned. Every encumbrance must be sent to the rear-before the battle, how- The real dan- ger is alwaysless than imagination represents it to re Look steadily at the ghost, and it vill vanish. Gov. Brown's Message. iF fom the Richmond Whig, Feb. 25] If we had been asking for charges on which 'o frame an indictment against the Confederate authorities, Governor Brown wenld have ad- mirably suited our purpose. If wehave de- manded the best reasons for beiieying our struggle against the Yankees vain and hope- lest, Governor Brown would have perfectly satisfied us. Had we been seeking an ally for the purpose of reducing the people of these States to absolute despair, Governor Brown would be just the man to select. But if we look for words of hope and comfort; for solace to our misfortunes; for device by which our condition may be improved, and confidence restored to the country, we very much fear that we should have to appeal to some one else than Governor Brown. Iron TURRETED Suirs.—Captain Cowper Coles, the inventor and constructor of the English turreted ships, is outin a long letter suggested by the action of our monitors at the taking of Fort Fisher. He evidently has grave apprehensions of the ability of any ships in the Euglish Navy to withstand a monitor like the Monaduock.. Among other things he says; The American reports are well worth atten- tion.

John Thrush, in eharge of McKendree station in Washington city. The charges are brougb: by John O. Harkness, of Washington. and were Telerred to the committee on the subject. Rey. Mr. Thrush presented a series of law points, bearing on the charges preferred agains: him, which were partly read, when, on motion of the Rev. Thomas Sewell, the further read- Dg was dispensed with, and the paper re- ferred to the committee on the subject. I: is understood that the main point raed was the fact that Mr. Harkness had severed bis con- nection with McKendree station previous to preiersing the charges The Bishop laid before the Qonference & communication from the United States Chri tian Commission, endorsed by @ S. Griffith, Esq, Chairman for Maryland, and by the Rev. Isaac P. Cook, of Baltimore, in referon to the extreme want of an active and energ Treacher in the vicinity of Harper’s Ferry, Va > Which was referred to the Bishop and his council. The order of the day, the reports of the stew- ards, was then taken up. On calling the roll, the different Conterence collections were an- nounced and handed in. The retarns from the Washington district were as follews:—Foun- dry, no returns; Wesley Chapel, $119.95; Ninth street, no returns; East Washington, $35.40; McKendree and Fletcher, $100; Union, $32:Gor- such, $10; Ryland, #1450; Waugh, $21; Provi- dence, $12; Ebenezer, Asbury and Mount Zion, Sandy Spring, Bladensburg, Prince George's and Charles, no returns; Georgetown, $61.40; West Georgetown and Tenallytown, $14; Pa- tapso, $15; Ellicott’s Mills, $50; Elkridge Land- ing, #10; St. Mary’s $21.15—making a total for the district of $519.50. The returns of the Bul- tumore district amounted to $2.099 20, and those of the Virginia district to $174.55. To these sums, itis supposed, there will be additions from the churches from whom returns haye not yet been received. The different claims of members and appro- priations for necessitous cases gave rise to considerable debate, and while the subject was under discussion a number of claims, principally of a private nature, were disposed ot. + Leech Additional papers in reference to the charges preferred against Rev. Mr. Thrush by Mr. darkness, were referred, Every paper pre- sented in the case of the latter gentleman was met by him with points of law. He contended that evidence was being sent to the committee thathad been taken by parties not properly anthorized under the rule of discipline to per- form that duty. He also contended that the testimony had been taken at the dwelling of John C. Harkness, a house that he (Mr. Thrush) could not enter. All the evidence had been taken exparte; be had no opportunity of cross- questioning witnesses. For these and other reasons he objected to the testimony going be- fore the committee, but he was overruled, and the papers took the direction as indicated above. [The charges against Messrs. Lanahan, Nadal and Thruch grow out of matters connected with the McKendree station, in Washington city, and promise to give rise to much interest- ing debate when the cases come properly be- fore the body.) Rev. Mr. Clemm moved & reconsideration cf the vote takem yesterday by which all papers eonnected with the charges and specifications preferred against Messrs. Lanahan, Thrush and Nadal, were referred to the committee on charges, so that the entire matter may be brought directly before the court of trial, the Froper tribunal indicated by the rules of d cipline to digpose of the cases. After consid- erable debate, the motion prevailed, and the various papers connected with the charges referred against Mesers. Lannahan, ‘ihrusb. Nadal and Davis. referred toa separate coart of trial, in each case said courts, on motion of Rev. J. N. B. Morgan, to consist of fifteen members each. The case ot Rey. Mr. Thrush was first taken Tp, when, on motion. it was or; t court of trial be appointed by SWoncrencse the president to be named by the Bishop, The court was then constituted as follows :—ney. .M. Brown, president; Revs. Messrs. May_ bury Goheen, W.A. Chapman, B. P. Brown, David Thomas, Chas. A. Reid, Isaac Collins, S. V. Blake, C. Parkison, Th Myers, Wm. Prettyman, Thomas Sewell, C. McElfresh, W. U. Laney and J. W. Start. The Bishop laid before the Oonference ac- ditional charges, preferred against Rey. B. H. Nadal by Wm. A. Cook, of Washington. Mr. Nadal expressed surprise and indignation, and avowed that this was the first time he had heard of these charges. Rev. Mr. Lanahan took the floor, and pro- ceeded at length to animadvert upon the mo- tives of the party making the charges. Mr. Nadal followed in explanation of his in- tercourse with Mr. Cook, and was followed by other members, who spoke in the highest terms. of Mr. Nadal; when, on motion of Mr. Lan- ahan, the Conference refused to entertain the charges, only two members voting tor their reception, The Conference, at 1 o’clock, ad ourned until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. : ae the New York Coinmer- cial: The stock market is dull, and prices genera!- ly lower. The partial stringency of money is producing a& process of unloading among the brokers; and under the pressure to realize, there is a necessary decline in prices. Govern- ment gold interest bonds are very heavy. The pressure to sellis quite marked. There is «: presenta very general disposition to change the gold interest bonds for the 7-30°s which chiefly accounts for the large sales of the former. There are noi a few who are sanguine enough to anticipate an carly decline in gold to 150;and they conclude from the premises, that the interest upon six per cents will be worth only !) per cent. in currency, and on five per cents only 7% per cent.: they, therefore, conciude it to be good policy to sell out their bold interest bonds, realizing thereby the dif- ference in the principal, while they lose but little in interest. The reasoning would be good. if the premises could be assure d; but the reasons for expecting a permanent decline tn gold to 150 appear to be very shadowy. Any de- cline, however, in gold undoubtedly improves the valne of Seven-thirties, as compared with gold interes bonds. The subscriptions to Seven-thirties this morning are quite large. Gold is weaker. The intimations given in the Richmond papers of the probable eyacua- tion of Richmond foreshow an event which, perhaps more than anything else, except the complete overthrow of the rebellion, is likely to pat down the premium on gold, the price has therefore heen very sensitive during the morn- ing, and & strong *‘ bear” movement has been developed. The price opened at 1964, sold to 196, and again recovered to 197%. Foreign exchange is dull, with but little either offering or inquired for. The rates are nomi- nally the same as yesterday; but it is found impossible to sell at current quotations. Tne best bankers’ sterling bids are offered at 108 4 but withont finding buyers. The tendency toward greater stringency in the money market continues, though it ap- pears to be full chiefly in quarters dependent upon National Bank loans. The Nationai Banks have been recently drawn upon heavily by the Government, and, as a consequence, haye to call in their loans. The constant liability of these institutions to be drawn upon by the Treasury renders them very uncertain lenders. Nor do they appear to see the necessity of avoiding that reputation by keeping their loans in a less extended posi- tion. The rate on call loans is a shade higher, Tanging from 6a7 percent.
