No extra charge for securing seats, which may be done at the Box Office, Thursday and Fri- day only, at One Dollar each. SF PARTICULAR ATTENTION is directed to the production on SATURDAY NIGHT of Meyer- beer's wonderful Opera, the great feature of the modern repertoire, L°’AFRICAINE. It is reserved for Saturday nightin order to finish the miseen scene. It is presented in this city with precisely the same degree of magnificence which marked its preguciige in New York. The grand Ship Scene, in the third from the hands of D. A. Strong and Mr i is held to be greatly su- perior to the one given in London, and in every re- spect eqnal to the famous New York scene. The D rector has undertaken over one thousand dol- lars extra expense, bringing the total expense of ite production for asingle wicht in excess consid erably of three thousand dollars. No single repre- sentation of the Opera in America has cost so muech—none will be given at so moderate rates of admission. No addition will be made te the current charges for secured seats or aimission— the prices remain the same as for the other Op- eras. Although the Theater can by no possibility, the present rates, hold the actual expenses 0} Production, the Director has determined to 8 none of the details, and offers it to his subscribers ins degree of absolute perfection—actuated by a desire to show as well the artistes as the public what may be done in the production of Grand Op- eras in Washirgton, Positively the last night of the reason. N. B.—It is well known to all patrons of grand Operas that the prices of all seats for the nights of the L’Africaine in New York have been $3 each, and half the houses have been sold by speculators at prices ranging from that figure to ten dollars. The receipts of the last matinee performance of this Opera were in excess of fonr thousand five hundred dollars; elsewhere, throughout Europe, seats for LAfricaine sell frem five to fifteen dol- lars in gold; the least of the opera houses form ro exceptions, Seats for any night of the week may be secured at the Box Office to night between the acts.

The steamship City of Washington arrived in New York, yesterday, from Liverpool and Queenstown on the 10th and if4th. Governor Eyre, of Jamaica, has been suspended from the exercise of his functions pending the offi- cial mquiries mto his conduct, and Hen: Stork appointed temporary in his place. e sails on the jsth of December for Jamaica The Times says the position of Eyre will be that of a Goyernor on leave. The Morning Post thinks the suspension of Eyre may have bad effect on the negroes. At the Fenian courton the 12th inst.O’ Done van occupied the whole day in his own defence. He was insolent and sought to exhaust the court. It is rumored that Gov- error Richmond, of Bridewell, has absconded, It is reported that France has given England six months notice to terminate the existing treaty, because of the strict formalities required before French offenders are given up. The Emperor of Anstriaarrived at Perth, Hun- gary, on the 15th, and was received with mucn Korine ¢ and enthusiasm. In response to a speech of the Burgomaster, he said he visited them full of confidence and expected full con- fidence in return. Later news from South America and St. Thomas to the 2dof December has been re- ceived. American emigrants, chiefly South- erners, are represented by Colonel Wood, to have selected a site fora town near Ragnord. It lies between two small rivers, and can have railway connection with the capital. A vast tract of 8,000,000 acres of unoccupied govern- ment land has also been selected, and it is ex- pected that a flow of emigration from the States composing the late Confederacy will soon set in. There is no change in the position of military affairs. No new battle had taken place. The Fenians of Kentucky held & convention at Cevyington yesterday.

The London Observer says that Napoleon is apprehensive that Maximilian has followed his Empress to Europe, and has prevailed up- on the Mexican Minister at Paris to proceed to Mexico and endeavor to dissuade Maximilian from abdicating his throne. He would sail on the 14th. The Ob r thinks he will not be in time, and that Maximilian will be in Europe before New Year's, Advices from Shanghae state that the death of Burgenius (an American,) was likely to give trouble to the Chinese Government. Ke- ports now state that he was drowned while in irons, The American Consul declares that their separ & with the United States has been violated. Piracy is increasing to an alarming extent. = The New York Tribune says: “The troubles in the Fenian camp will evidently culminace in a few days and come to a conclusion, much in the manner of a large bubble, which ex- pandsand bursts. And yet it is still difficult to conjecture whether the final victory will perch upon the banner of O'Mahony or take up a final abode in the halls of the Fenian Senate ” In New York, yesterday, Patrick McLaugh- lin and his family, consisting of his wife and three children, and niece, were poisoned by drinking a large dose of laudanum, placed in the coffee used at breakfast. Mr. McLangblin and one daughter came very near losing their lives. The former is in a precarious condition, The new five cent currency will be issued next week. Abont $30,000 worth of defaced and mutilated currency is destroyed by burn- ing, per day,and $50,000 worth printed.

Competent boatmen say there is very little probability of any detention to navigation during the winter season, Owing to the present high stage of water. Despatches from the South state that there were no disturbances caused by negroes on Christmas, as was feared, and that the negroes were never more orderly. The apprehensions of @ negro insurrection has been entirely re- lieved. A train of six hundred bales of cotton was lately seized by the military authorities at Coriuth, Mississippi. Part of it belonged to General Forrest, who was reported as haying been shot by the guard. Advices from Arizona represent that there is constant fighting between the A) ne Indians and the white settlers. Twent: ‘ht soldiers, sent out on the ist of December, are missing. The steamship Idabo, from New York for Mobile, is ashore on Barnegat, and full of water. The passengers and a portion of the cargo was:landed in safety.

The joint note of England and France, pro- posing certain terms for the settlement of the Chilian difficul ies, was rece:yed at Madrid on the 9th, The result was not known. Intelligence from Japan er foreign affairs is very satisfactory. @ quarrel be- tween the Tycoon and Prince Nagato has been settled. Speaker Colfax lectured in New Haven Tuesday night, and arrived in New York this morning.

CHRISTMAS IN BaLTIMORE.—During yester- day and last night there was more general dis- sipation and consequent disorder throughout the city than has been recorded for some time past. In the eastern section a murder was committed last night, and during the day there were innumerable cases of rioting and fighting, billies and pistols being freely used in several cases. During Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights there were over 200 persons arrested in the various districts for drunkenness, a major- a of whom were released u; the payment of their fines and costs. Yesterday morning, however, there were seventy-three persons re- ceived at the city jail upon various charges of a disorderly character. spite the inclemency ot the weather, the streets were thronged throughout the day, principally by young men, about three-fou: of whom were more or less intoxicated, and in many cases very dis- orderly and riotous.—Balto. Transcript, 27th. THE CHOLERA AND RorTEN WHEAT.—Sey- eral physicians of our rots diye expressed themselves in the most deci: terms fi favor ofthe proposition to keep back the wheat now lying at Chicago. They all concur in the opinion that there is no such prolific cause of cholera as foul grain, and it cholera is not prevailing it must produce other diseases scarcely less fatal. One physician, who re- sided in Buffalo years ago when the cholera prevailed, stated that the disease was worst among the men employed about the grain ele- vators and shij ester Union. &7-Theiron clad monitor Umpqua has been successfully launched at Alleghany city.

The Commercial says:—“There is an air of mystery about Sec! McCulloch's recent business in this city. ‘ot a few persist in believing that it was intended to prepare the way for another tunding loan; some , ot cerlificates of indebtedness, and others the temporary loans; but from the representations of those most familiar witn Mr. McCulloch's views, it would appear that he does not con- template making any loan ye early, probably not within the current year.” The timore markets are unchanged.

True, it would largely reduce the represen- tation of the Southern States were the negroes not allowed to vote; but it would also have the following consequences: 1. It would cut down the present ‘and future representation of New England, on account of the excess of females and old people, as compared with the Western States. 2. It would deprive the Atlantic sea~ board and manufacturing localities of Congress- men wherever aliens were employed. 3. It would add very largely to ita- tion ofthe Western States, where male population is Jargely in excess of the females; and 4. It would give a disproportionate repre- sentation to California and the mining regions, where the males are ten to one to the females. In short, it would make the West all-powerful in the government almost immediately upon the adoption of the amendment.—New York World. ®7-The New Orleans True Delta, ofthe 15th, says: The recent and severe chan; in the weather has, we believe, affected utenant General Scott greatly—so much so, im fact, that be is determined to leave at once.
