The magnificent opera of “Les Huguenots” 1s to be produced at the Park to-morrow evening. Above is an illustration of one of the most exciting scenes in the play. In order, however, to let every one un- derstand the plot of the opera, we annex an extract from a book in French, with a translation by Me. Revoil:— _That religious and political butchery celebrated in history under the name of the “ Massacre of St. Bartholomew,” hed been projected since the year 1565, in « council held at Bayoune, between Cuthe- rine de Medecis, the Duke d’Anjou and the Duke d’Albe. Postponed by ditlerent obstacles. this bloody project was not put in execution undl the 2ith of August, 1572. It was on the occasion of the mar- riage of Henry of Navarre with Margaret of Valois, rane which had brought to Paris all the chiefs of the Huguenot party in France and Navarre. Anatiem against the life of Admiral Coligny, who was attack- ed on the 22d by a paid assassin, named Mauievert, was a sort ot prelude to the great catastrophe. The Haguencty were excited,and Charles 1X. went him- self to inquire after the old soldier. Finally, on S: YORK, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1845. Grand Scene from the Opera of Les Huguenots, , the 234, in a seeret council held by Catherine Ar 8, the Duke of ou, the Counts de } vers and Saint-Bris, the Marshals de Tavannes and de Retz, and the Grand Prior of the Louvre, the massacre was resolved upon, and they forced the mdecision of Charles LX., who, to that very day, had been a stranger to the projects of the Queen Mother. There wasa grand ball at the Hotel de Sens, oa the 24th of August, where all the Huguenots were assembled; then, ut two o'clock, after midnight, the bell of St. G in ’Auxerrois sounded, Massacre commenced at this d:sn historians of the ume assures us the Vict.ms was above 10,000, amongst these they in- clude 600 noblemen The same orders w © xecomplished in the provinces, and more than 70,000 persons of the re- formed religion perished for their faith. The King of Navarre and the Prince of Condé only saved their lives by becoming Catholics. As to the Admiral Coligny, was one of the first murdered by the Duke of Guise, and his corpse was hung at Mont- fancon. Here isin a few lines the history of the massacre of St. Bartholomew; we have duly to add some words upon the character of Charles LX, which has been misunderstood by most of the authors of —— Newport, (R. 1.) Aug. 4, 1845. Our Watering Places, their Comforts and Pleasures. Inotice that all your correspondents trom this place, write as though they were part proprietors in the hotels and bathing-houses, or had desirable lots tor sale at $1000 per acre, (at which price some have been sold,) they are all so enthusiastic in their ad- muiration, and see every thing so entirely couleur de rose, that there is no other way of accounting for it. Not one, whose letter [ have seen, makes any re- ference to the many drawbacks upon the pleasures of the place, and none ever atiempt to hold up to notice the very superior claims to patronage, of Rockaway, Long Branch, or Cape May. hion, Mr. Editor, as you well know, will make us do any thing, put up with any thing, and go aay where. Comfort is never thought of. Now let us see. New: port can accommodate, (or could before the Ocean House was destroyed,) comfortably about 2000 visi- tors, now, with the Ocean House away, we must have at least 2500, and “the cry is still they come,’, all that come are taken in somewhere, for few go away, but they have no comforts of any kind, are crowded in- to rooms hike sheep, and allto be able to boast of having “spent the summer in Newport.” Now, | make these remarks notat all in the spirit ot grum- bling, for I am delighttully located in a small house, with a pleasant party ; but it is because I think some ove should warn the travelling public, that as “ull is, uot gold that glistens,” so as respects this ‘ America,” there are two sides to the picture. come here to bathe—the beach is a mile from the principal hotels, and you must ride down and back daily, as the dust from the carriages renders it very ere to pedestrians. ‘This ride, ard the fee for the use of a bathing house, cost you 25 cents daily—no small item at the end ot the season. Very few stages are kept running, so that when ready to go to bathe, you are often kept over half an hour waiting for the stage, and the same after coming out of the water. ‘True, there is a remedy for this, for those who furnish the stages tor the difierent houses and charge but 124 cents, knowing very well that the boarders cannot all be accommodated with seats, very kindly have other carriages at the doors all the time, which will take you to the beach, and only charge you double price. Very nice arrangement, eh? You ride to the beach; are covered with dust, wash it off, and riding back are again well dusted, the beach 1s a little (comparative- ly,) horse-shoe looking place, and the eye looks in vain for the magnificent view of the expanse of ocean seen at Cape May or Long Branch. No mi ier, ‘tis the tashionable place. The hotels have on: servant to do what not less than three could do pro- perly ; and although there is plenty on the tables itis a very difficult matter at times to get any dinner. I hear universal complaints of this from the bourders at the “Bellevue” and “Atlantic,” and as they all praise their houses in every other respect, the pro- prietors owe it to themselves to reform this subject of complaint.

The third made a fine effort, and ‘it was supposed by some, that he would win a prize. The fourth made his appearance with his hair in his eyes, and looked like grief over a moaument laboring for breath to tell his piteous tale. The filth, a tall young man, spoke his ad- dress like a parish clerk. The sixth, a young man of promise, made some impression on the audience. ‘The seventh, a comical gemus, set the house in arour with his puns ‘The eighth speaker made quite a fine effort, and showed some signs of elo- q e, The ninth, and last speaker, looked seared; tus knees trembled, he raised one shoulder higher than the other, und looked Richard.

Is it not more credible that his mother obtained his at the last moment? To this article should be added, that the famous window, above which the wretches of 1793 placed the follow- ing inscription: “It was from, this window that the infamous Charles IX fired at his subjects on St. Bar- tholomew’s day,” did not exist at that ume, but was built in the reiga of ‘enry LV, twelve years after- wards. his own and our tune. rine was feeble in body ties came off—three champions on each side, who made strong pretensions to oratory.

Important, if True—Murderous Assault upon the Sheriff—The Anti-Renters in Arms. Anotier outbreak of the anti-renters has taken place in this county. At 12 o'clock to-day, a sale tor the rent of Moses Earle, in Andes, was to take place athis house, about twelve miles from this vil- Sherif! Moore and depaties J. N. Steele and rton, were about bringing out some cattle for sale. Mr. Wright attended as the agent for the landlord. bout 100 persons disguised as Indians appeared to prevent the sale.

How dangerous the wounds of Mr. Steele are, is yet unknown here. Two physicians were imme- dintely in attendance.

The proper authorities here, I presume, willbe promptand most energetic in the performance of their duty. What renders this occurrence pecu'iarly aggra- vating, is, that the officers did not summon a posse, in consequence of the assurance of Gen. Root, Mr Gordon, M. C. and others, who have been inetra- meatal in fomenting these disturbances, that there would be no difficulties, | Hartrorp, August 8, 1845.
