The Oyer and Terminer Grand Jury have found two bills of indictment against Judge Stewart—one for bribery and the ‘ther for corruption—but his friends and those who iknow him well have no fears for the result. A po- Heeman named Lider, is also indicted with the Judge ‘im the conspiricy case. The motion to quash the indictments against Alderman Herrick was refused by Judge Roosevelt ; but the District Attorney entered a nolle prosequi in the case of Councilman Cooper in consequence of the inconsistency between the affidavits of Peter Palm, (the principal witness) —one made in July, and the other in the present month. City politics again occupy a large space in our oelumns this morning, as will be seen by reference to the xeports given under that head elsewhere. ‘The Balf Shel! General Committee met under circum: stances of considerable excitement, but adjourned without effecting any nominations, nor will they do go until the Tammany Hall people complete their ticket. When that is done, the half shells will make up a ticket composed equally of hards and softs. They appcinted a Committee of Conference with. the Liquor Dealers’ Association to have an under standing with them in the formation of a ticket; also with the German Delegate Con- vention. The republicans seem to be divided ap into a number of factions, and manifest no dis- position to fuse with one another, nor with the Broadway House whigs. The Whig General Com- mittee refuse to endorse the republican State ticket, asd the republicans in tarn decline to countenance ‘the whig city nominees, and openly announce their intention of running a clean ticket of their own Indecd, from present appearances, they seem in” clined to support such men as A. C. Flagg, Wm. F. Hayemeyer and Nicholas Dean for office, in prefer- ence to the whigs uow before the people. The Peter ooper reformers met last night, and endorsed Flagg for Comptroller, and appointed a committee of six to propose other nomiuations. The Execu- tive Committee of the United Order of Americans also met and endorsed the Know Nothing State and City nominations. The softshell Judiciary Conven- tion met at Tammany Hall and nominated the fol- ticket :— Judge Supreme Court. dge Superi Justice Marine Court. Younsel to Corporation. Ulshoefer and Brady are also David eet, J Lorenzo B, Shepard Messrs. Whiting, ‘on the hard ticket. Neither the Mayor nor Recorder being present at the Board of Supervisors last evening, the only busi- news transacted was the receiving of a few bills, amongst which were those of the Coroners for the Jast quarter—amounting to something over four thousand dollars—all of which were referred. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a commu- nication was reccived from the Comptroller, ex- plaining why the Commissioners of the Sinking Fond had invested $600,000 in revenue bonds, pay. able in 1° ‘The reasons given will be found in our report. Alderman Drake, who had voluntarily withdrawn from participation in the proceedings of the Board in consequence of the indictment against him, announced that he would resume his duties: Some little other business was transacted, and the Board adjourned to Thursday. The Beard of Councilmen last evening ordered the Comptroller to draw from the City Treasury $3,000, to be appropriated to the Howard Association for the relief of the Norfolk sufferers. A report was received from the Board of Aldermen refusing to concur with the Board of Councilmen in reference to the Washington market farmers, but adhering to their former action to grant the farmers land west of Washington market. This was about all that was done last night in this Board. We publish this morning among our municipal affairs the correspondence between Mayor Wood and Alderman Lord, in reference to the charges made by the Mayor against Alderman Ely, during a warm debate some two weeks since in the Board of Super- visors. Among the interesting mass of Mexican news, which we published in yesterday's Heraup, was a paragraph stating the substance of Mr. Comonfort's letter to ex-President Carrera. As the former gen- tlemen is spoken of as one of the principal candi- dates for the Presidency, and as the communication ‘in question comprises his views of the political situ- ation of Mexico, we make room to-day for a transla- tion of the document in fall. It will be found inte- resting, 48 will also the analysis which we give of the various factions into which Mexican society is now divided. The Legislative Assembly of the empire of Hayti gas opened on the 4th of September by the Empe- yor Faustin in person. His Majesty, attended by the ministers of the crown, appeared, amidst much military and official pomp, and addressed the mem- bers in a satisfactory speech, to which they promised ,‘o reply by an address to the crown. A portrait of th.’ Emperor, by M.le Baron Colbert de Lochard, roya.’ painter, was inangurated at the same time ina proper place in the Council Hall. On August 26th the seve uth anniversary of the inauguration of the empire was observed with great ponip. The thun- der of ariillery,a royal procession, ministerial con- gratulations, mercantile, official and school proces- ions, with a grand high mass and Te Deum, filled @ey from early dawn, whilst the darkness of the night #5 completely dispelled by a general illu- mination. Abbe Mowsa, the African priest, hed an & quent sermon after mass, By adices front Troxillo to the 17th of Septem- ver we leard that the Joternal war still continued in Honduras, thongh all dhg department: which had dectyrcd cgnhiust President Cy. | wi omitted except two, Olunchg and Yor, ,/ e/a Alvarez, 5 NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1855. with 500 troops, had marched against the revolutionista. A fight had taken place between some of the inhabitants of Truxillo and a band of robbers who had threatened to attack that place, in which the robbers were defeated, and the chief cap- tured and shot. A meeting of the American resi dents at Troxillo had been held, and resolutions pasced soliciting the United States government to have a man of war occasionally touch there for pro- tection. Hon. John L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, who was tendered the Governorship of Kansas Territory, af- ter the removal of Andrew H. Reeder, has written a letter in reply to one from the members of the Kan- sas Legislature, inviting him to visit the Territory, and take pot luck with the “border ruffians.” Mr. Dawson fully endorses the squatter sovereignty principle, and gives two columns of wholesome ad- vice to the legal voters of the Territory, telling them how they can avoid misunderstandings and disturb- ances in the future, and proving by past events that Kansas is destined to be a great State. The republicans of Suffolk county, Mass., held a meeting at Fanueil Hall, Boston, last evening, to ratify the State nominations. Among the resola- tions passed, was one in favor of the organization of a party to resist the aggressions of slavery, which was stated to have been drafted by Daniel Webster in 1846. Letters were read from Mr. Sumner, Josiah Quincy, Jr., and others, giving their adhesion to the movement. The meeting is said to have been a large and spirited one. Application was made in the United States Dis- trict Court at Philadelphia yesterday, on the part of Jane Johnson, the slave of Colonel Wheeler, asking that the habeas corpus issued to Passmore William- son to bring herself and children into Court, be quashed. Counsel for the petitioner had not con- cluded his argument when the Court adjourned. An accident occurred on the Boston and Maine Railroad yesterday morning, afew miles from Bos- ton, in consequence of a passenger train coming in contact with a cow that suddenly jumped upon the track. The engine was thrown down an embank- ment, and the train thrown off the track. Two express agents were instantly killed, and a fireman had both legs cut off and was carried to the hospi- tal ina dying state. Not a passenger was injured. We learn from a Philadelphia correspondent that fourteen suits have been commenced against the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company in that city. About twelve persons still remain at Burlington, not being suflicient ly recovered to move. Breadstuffs were again excited yesterday, and the market was quite active. All common and medium grades of flour advanced about 25c. per barrel, with large sales, including parcels to arrive and for ex- port, the latter supposed to be chiefly for the Conti- nent. Wheat again advanced full 2 to 5 cents per bushel, and even more on choice lots of prime white. The sales footed up about 125,000 bushels, embrac- ing some parcels to arrive. Corn was about a cent per bushel higher, with a fair amount of sales at 89c. a 90¢, Pork was dull and sales light. Sugar and coffee were also inactive. The advance in breadstuffs checked engagements to Liverpool, though shipowners continued to demand the same rates. Engagements were freely made to German ports, with a fair business doing for Havre, and at full rates. ‘To California rates were firmer, and 40 a 48. per foot measurement demanded. The Elections To-Day In Pennsylvania and Ohio. The two great States of Pennsylvania and Ohio hold their annual elections to day. In both these States the members for the new Congress were elected last year; and so that issue is out of the way. In Ohio, how- ever, there is a very important question to be ettled in the election of the Governor, and hat question is, whether the Seward abolition fusionists are, or are not, the controlling ma- jority of the Commonwealth. In Ohio, as in New York just now, politics and parties are inexplicably mixed up ; but, as far as we can understand the Ohio programme, it is as follows :— 1st. Salmon P. Chase, late United States Sena- tor, is the Seward fusion, free soil, and aboli- tion black republican candidate for Governor. The materials supporting him are the aboli- tionists and free soilers proper, free soil whigs and democrats, and free soil Know Nothings and Know Somethings. The candidate with Chase for Licutenant Governor, is Col. Thomas Ii. Ford, boisterous politician, who bolted from the Know Nothing Philadelphia platform and went over to that of the free soil Cleve- land Know Somethings. 2d. William Medill, a conspicuous and popu- lar man, is the democratic candidate, and, with his party, he occupies a copservative position on the slavery question. 3d. Allen Trimble, an old line whig of the Henry Clay school, is the candidate for Go- vernor of the conservative whig and Know Nothing deserters, from the free soil Chase and fusion movement. The results of this fusion, division and sub- division of parties, it is impossible to guess: but we should not be surprised if the first con- sequence was the election of Medill. The fu- sionists, whigs, Know Nothings and feee soil- ers carried the election last year by some 70,000 or 80,000 majority, we believe; but it is quite possible that all this may now be frit- tered away in the whig, democratic and Know Nothing defections that have crept into the general coalition since last October. On the other hand, the Sag Nichts, or Germans, equal, perhaps, to thirly thousand votes, have se- lected Chase as their candidate for Governor, and have adopted as the balance of their State ticket the democratic nominees. This diver- sion may turn over to Chase fifteen or twenty thousand democrats, so that there is still a chance for him, unless the seceding whig sil- ver grays should turn out to be stronger than they generally do in New York. But whatever may be the result in Ohio, it will determine nothing for 1856. The effer- vescence of the political cauldron, which is still very lively in that State, in this, and else- where, must subside before there can be any crystallization of the solid ingredients, The only State office to be filled by this elec- tion in Pennsylvania, is that of a Canal Com- missioner, Upon this office the whigs and Know Nothings have fused, and the opposition to them is centred upon the democratic candi- date. Here, too, the result will be of very lit- tle national importance, unless the democratic candidate should be elected, in which event the necessity for a thoroughgoing re-construc- tion of the American or national anti-adminis- tration party will be as clear as daylight. On the other hand, should the fusion candidate be carried by ten, twenty, or even fifty thou- sand majority, it leaves the question still open how far Sewardiem and Know Nothingism can be made available in a copartnership for the Presidency, But enough for the present. We shall, doubtless, be enabled to speak more de- finitely of the results, both in Ohio and Penn- sylvania, to-morrow morning, Goon ror tae Rice.—We learn from the Georgetown (S. C.) Tim?s that the rive planters have had a most propitious season for their operations—neither gale, freshet, nor rain dis- turbing sbene, Crry Ramroaps anp Crry CovuxciLMEy.— Many months ago @ resolution was adopted by all the city railroads to iseue no more free passes. An announcement to that effect, signed by all the Presidents of the roads, was published in the newspapers, and the public rejoiced over this small symptom of the down- fall of the dead-head system. About the same time a resolution passed the Board of Councilmen requiring the Harlem Rail- road to lay down the grooved rail on its track through the city. Nothing was more necessary; and all who had occasion to travel on the Fourth avenue with vehicles rejoiced at this sign of improvement. A year or thereabouts has passed since the adoption of this resolution. Yet no steps have been taken by the Common Council to carry it into effect, and the Harlem Railroad has not taken the slightest notice of it, or made the least preparations to lay down the groove rail. In speculating on the causes of this singular neglect, it is impossible to over- look the rumor that, notwithstanding the an- nouncement that no tickets were to be issued by the city railroads after 1st January last, the members of the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen have travelled on the Harlem road free ever since they were elected, and still do so travel. Such, we say is the rumor ; and it acquires a marked confirmation from the conduct of the Board of Councilmen on Monday of last week. On that day, Councilman Mather offered a resolution to inquire what rail- road companies had issued free passes to mem- bers of the Board, and to whom; it was met with opposition in every shape, raillery, ridicule, and straightforward hostility. Now it does not appear that this is by any means either a subject for merriment or a matter unfit to be inquired into. If the Harlem Rail- road ought to have laid down the groove rail, under the resolution of the Board, and did not doso, because no steps were ever taken to com- pel it, it becomes highly important to know whether any inducements were held out to the members of the Board by the company to re- frain from such compulsion. In a word, it becomes necessary to see whether there has been any corruption at work—whether the Harlem Railroad Company has bribed the Councilmen to let the matter of the rail sleep, and whether the Councilmen have foresworn their duty for a bribe. Fora free ticket is as clearly a bribe as a bank note. The resolution passed, happily; and in a few days we shall know the facts, Mone Invicrments For Corrupriox.—Yester- day morning City Judge Stuart was grected with a couple of indictments found by the Grand Jury, on a charge of compounding a felony. A similar charge on similar grounds was brought against a police officer, who is said to have been implicated in the same trans- action. This completes a very nice tea party of prisoners—one Judge, one Police Magis- trate, three Aldermen, three Councilmen, and one Police officer, all prepared, it is to be pre- sumed, to stand their trial for corruption and abuse of office. So much thunder will certainly clear the political air. It is not generally known that all these pro- secutions arose out of the refusal of the Mayor to appoint Alderman Herrick’s nominee Police Captain of the Nincteenth ward. It is under- stood that the fall of a British Ministry and a war with France and Spain once arose out of a glass of water spilt on Queen Anne’s dress. Here is a Police Captaincy that seems to have done as much mischief. The glass of water has been handed down to posterity in one of the most charming of Scribe’s comedies. Who will dramatise the Police Captain of the Nine- teenth ward, the Alderman, Mayor Wood, and the officials accused of corruption ? Fivsu Ties.—Things look like flush times, again, in this city, notwithstanding the short crops in Europe. The city is full of strangers —the hotels are overrunning with guests—our columns are crowded with advertisements— there are but very few persons unemployed— the merchants look cheerful—every one seems to have plenty of money, and to be willing to spend it. The surest barometer of public prosperity is the state of public amusements, People will not go to the theatre in hard times, and all our managers suffered last year in consequence of this fact. With returning prosperity in the summer, business enlivened and the theatres were filled. Now we are doing a great fall business, and the various places of public amusement are thronged every night. We give elsewhere a sketch of what was done at the theatres last night, and subjoincd is a tabular estimate of the money receipts at each:— Metropclitan Theatre Broadway ‘Iheatse., oeee $4,500 1,050 Niblo’s Garden. 700 450 450 400 400 Buckley’s Minst 250 Academy of Music 600 Macalister... 200 Academy Hi 150 ‘Apollo Koom 150 Empire Hall 100 Total... se ese $89,200 Nearly ten thousand dollars in one night is doing very well. There are several other small places of amusement which would make the amount foot up to ten thousand and over. Truly, we must be having flush times, and ought to be thankful for our prosperity, while our neighbors are up to their eyes in debt and glory. Axcratsnop Hecues Waxtep iy New Hanp- sumre.—Archbishop Hughes lately declared to the unsophisticated people of Newfoundland that there was “no ground of reproach against President Pierce.” Der contra, the Independent Democrat, of Concord, N. H., says that “no man can go about among the old democrats of this State, and hear their indignant denunciations of Pierce and his corrupt minions, without see- ing and feeling that the party which follows him is dead, and deserves to be dead.” The Archbishop is wanted at Concord, Let him go up and comfort the faithful. A Drisesionist iN Canava—William Lyon Mackenzie, compiler of the famous Jesse Hoyt Custom House correspondence, in attempting a lecture lately at Brampton, Canada, was pelted with rotten eggs. Ife was out on the stump in favor of a disunion of the Canadian Provinces. So much for his training at the Tribune office. Justice to Governor SHaxnoy.—Governor Shannon, of Kansas, bas published a card de- nying emphatically that he ever made a public declaration that he was in favor of the estab- lishment of slavery in Kegeas. Will not that sutiefy Mr, Marcy? Mr. Epwanp C, Detavan on THE Liquor Quzs- vioN:—At 8 preliminary meeting of the New York State Temperance Society, held at Utica the other day, the President, Mr. E.C. Delavan, j made a speech, in which he took occasion to say that :— With due deference to the opinion of those who may differ from me on the subject, I may be permitted to say that 1 have no belief that the Probibitory law will ever be Hilly expounded from the bench. till votes of total abst. nence men shall be cast exclusively for candidates who themselves are also total abstinence men, He is probably right ; and if so, we rather suspect that the solution of the question of practical prohibition will have to be turned over to the next generation. The meeting, meantime, resolved to sick to total abstinence candidates for the public offices, which will probably make a hole in the calculations of the Seward, Weed and Greeley free and easy temperance platform. Can’r Sranp I7.—The softs of Onondaga county have revolted against John Van Buren and his Syracuse platform, and have fallen back upon his old Buffalo principles. A depu- ty is wanted up there from the Custom House, with power to send for persons and papers, THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, ‘The Case of Col. Wheeler's Slaves. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8, 1855. Application was made in the United States District Court to-day, on the part of Jane Johnson, the former slave of Col. Wheeler, asking that the habeas corpus is- sued to Passmore Williamson, to bring herself and chil- dren into court, be quashed. John M. Read, for the pe- titioner, asked that the petition be filed, contending that habeas corpus must always be issued on behalf of the party whose liberty is restrained, and not for a party wishing to restrain unother. The Court adjourned be- fore the completion of the argument, aud it will be re- sumed to-morrow, Republican Ratification Meeting in Boston. Boston, Oct. 8, 1855. ‘The republicans of Suffolk county and vicinity, hada very large and spirited meeting at Faneuil Hall to-night, to ratify their State‘nominations. Samuel Greley, for- merly whig, presided. A series of resolutions were adopted, one of which, in favor of the organization of a party to resist the aggressions of slavery, was stated to have been drafted by Daniel Webster in 1846. The Hon. T. D. Elliott, Hon. J, D, Goodrich, late whig members of Congress, and others, addressed the meeting; and letters were read from Hon. Chas. Sumner, Hon. Josiah Quincy Jr, and others, giving their adhesion to the movement. Later from Honduras. THE REVOLUTION—FIGHT WITH ROBBERS—MEETING OF AMERICAN CITIZENS. Boston, Oct. 8, 1855. By the brig Helen Jane, Nickerson, arrived at this port, we have Truxillo dates to the 7th of September. Busi- ness in that city and Omoa was excecdingly dull, on ac- count of the revolution throughout the State of Hondu- ras. ‘The different departments which had declared against the President, Cabanos, bad all, however, yielded, except the departments of Olancho and Yoro, which still held out, and General ‘Alvarez, at the head of 500 govern- ment troops, was marching against the rebels. On the 8d of September news arrived in Truxitlo that a party of robbers under Albino Pena, numbering about 60 men, were marching on the town, and intended making a mid- night attack, The commandant of Traxillo sent out a small party to reconnoitre, but they were surprised in the night by robbers, disarmed, and ailowed to return. On their arrival in Truxillo the alarm became general, and about 200 citizens offered their services to the com: mandant. Arms and ammunition were distributed to the volunteers, and Jruxillo presented quite a warlike ap- earance. The United States Conselar agent sent his mily on board the Helen Jane, then lying in the port, and was followed by the farmlies of the principal part of the inbabitants, to the number of 100 persons, with their movable’ property, where they remained’ three days. On the 15th news came of the near ap- proach of the robbers, when a party of 60 men were sent to attack them, The two parties met on the following day, and the robbers were defeated with considerable loss.’ Thedeader, Pena, was taken prisoner, and immediately shot, and afterwards bad his head and right hand cut off. The alarm in Truxillo was such that a number af the inhabitants sent their families and much ot their property to the Isle of Ratepy. Whea the Helen Jane left, the town was more quiet, bat apprelension was felt of more difficulties. ‘Ihe leader and head of the revolutioniats in Honduras had been killed in battle. Captain Nickerson states that a meeting of the Ameri- can residents of Truxillo was held previous to his leaving, at which resolutions were passed soliciting the United States government to haya w man-of-war occasionally touch there for their protection. Kansas Election. St Lovis, Oct. 6, 1855. We have further election returns from Kansas. Atchi- son county had gven 130 votes, all for Whitfield. In Leavenworth city Whitfield had met with no opposition. Partial returns from Doniphan county show 36 votes for Whitfield and none for Reeder. Fatal Ratlroad Accident. Bostox, Oct. 8, 1855. A fatal accident occurred upon the Boston and Maine Railroad this morning, at Wyoming, afew miles trom this city. The passenger train from Haverhill came in collision with a cow, whieh suddenly jumped upon the track, and the result was that the engine was thrown down’ an embankment, the baggage cat upset, and the parsenger cars thrown from the track. F. Abbott, of the Andover, and Charles Richardson, of the Haverhill ex- press, who were in the baggage car, were both iastanily killed. Mr. Reuben Gleason, of the Reading expross, jumped out cf the fame car aud was badly injarel. Mr. Geo. Richarés, fireman, had both legs crusaed off, and is now at the hospital in a dying state. named Kimball and Staples, each lost a leg. Not a single passenger was injured. Connecticut State Fatr. Harrrorp, Oct, 8, 1855. The Connecticut State Pair opens to-morrow in this city. The entries are much larger than antivipated. Goods of all descriptions are pouring in, and ample build ings and tents are erected for them, A grasd affair is lcoked fer.

EDWIN FORREST AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE—THE SPA- NISH DANCERS AND THE ENGLISH OPERA AT NIBLO’S GARDEN—NO “HAIL COLUMBIA” AT THE OPERA—WALLACK’S AND BURTON’S—A GALA NIGHT ALL ROUND, ETC., ETC. Once a ; atthe commencement of the theatrical season, we have a “ sensation” night, when every mana- ger has something new, or good, or popular, or striking, and when all New York—ineluding the strangers that are within our gates—turns out and goes to the theatre. Such a night was the 18th of September, last year, and such a night was last night. The subjoined account gives a glimpse at all the theatres, At the Metropolitan M’le Rachel commenced the sixth week of her engagement in this city, and played Camille in Corneille’s tragedy of “‘ Horace.’” The house was cram- med from parquette to dome—in fact, there was no place from which a view of the stage could be had that was not occupied. This extraordinary rush was created by the announcement that M’lle Rachel would, after the first piece, indulge the audience with the French national song “ La Marseillaise.”” Young America and Young France were well repre- sented in thewery crowded audience which greeted A’lle Rachel last evening. ‘The old fogies came also; and the theatre presented an array of beauty rarely sur- passed by any assemblage, even in this city, where all the ladies are supposed to be handsome, and all the men are presumed to be gallant. We have already no- ticed ‘Horace’ and Rachel's performance of Camille at length, and can only say again that it is the best part that M’lle Rachel plays. The sensation of last night was, however, the ‘‘ Marseilles’ Hymn,” to which our attention must be particularly directed. After ‘‘ Horace” there was a very short intermission— say two minutes—when the curtain went up, and Mlle Rachel appeared dressed as Camille, except the stola. ‘The French tri-color was displayed on the stage. The band proceeded to play the air of the Marscllaise,”” and then the music stopped. M’lle Rachel came down to the footlighte, and recited the words as follows :— Allons enfans de la patrie Le jour de gloire est arrivé, Contre nous de la L ieenges Létendart sanglant est levé; Entendez vous dans les campagnes: Mugir ces feroces soldats? a viennent sale dans vos bras Fgorger vos fils et vos compagnes. ‘Aux armen, cltoyens, formes vos betallions Qu’vn sang impur abreuve nos sillons. Que veut cette horde @exclaves Do traitres, de rois conjurés Pour qui ces ignobles entraves Ces fers dé longtemps préparés ? Pour nous frangais, ab ! quel outrage! Quels transports il doit exeiter C'est nous qwon ose méditer, De rendre a Vantique esclavage. Aux armes, citoyens, formez vos bataillons Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons. Nous entrerons dans la carridre Quand nos ainés n'y weront plas Nous y trouverons leur poussiére Et la trace de leurs vertus. Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre Quo de rartager leur cerouel, Nous aurons le sublime orgueil. De les venger ou de les suiyre. ‘Aux armes, citoyens, formez vos bataillons Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons, Amour sacréde la patrie Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs, Liberté liberté chérie Combats avec tes défenseurs. Sous nos drapeaux que Ia yictoire Accoure a tes miiles accens, Que nos ennemis expirans Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire. Aux armes, citoyens, formez vos bataillons Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons, Althongh Mlle. Rachel gave full foree to these very ex- pressive and imspiring words, therg was not s9 much enthusiasm amcng the French as we had expected. The recitation was aot quite equal to the expectation of the public, except, perhaps, in the last stanza, where Rachel embraced the tri-color, and as she gave the “Amour sacré de la patrie,”? seemed almost inspired with the spirit which she invok- ed. French patriotism is really very nico—on thé stage. After the “Marsellaise,” Mlle. Rachel was summoned betore the curtain and received with numereus demon- strations of popular favor in the shape of bouquets, the waving of handkerchiefs, cheers, &. Almost everybody weat home then, altogether ignoring Mme. de Girardin’s farce, “Chapeau dun Horloger,”’ which has already been played here in English at Bur- on’s, under the title of “The Clockmaker’s Hat.”” There was a great deal of outside speculation, and premiums on parquette seats run from two to six dollars. The receipts of the house amounted to about four thousand five hun. dred dollars. At the Broadway theatre Mr. Forrest made his first ap pearance this season, and played ‘“Hamlet.”? There was a full house, made up chiefly of our native citizens, upon whose affections the great American tragedian has a strong hold. People who say that Shakspeare cannot draw in theve latter days, should have seen the Broad- way audience last night, which way wonderful, consi- dering the strong outside pressure of other en- tertainments, and the fact that a great many are infected with the idea that Mr. Forrest’s style is not suited tothis part. We do not purpose to analyse the performance, which was carefully studied, claborate in effects, and distinguished by profound research in read- ing. If we have a war avout Sound dues Hamlet may be important; but at present he {s used up. The pieco was generally well acted. Mr. Fisher played the Ghost; Mr. Lanergan, the King; Mme. Ponisi, the Queen; and Miss Manners, Ophelia, After the fall of the curtain Mr For- rest was loudly called for. He appeared in front of the curtain and bowed his acknowledgments, “Young Ame- rica,” with one accord, shouted for a speech, when he came down to the lamps and said:— Lapis axD Gxyriesiex—I think I heard some of my friends call for a speech. I wish I could, ladies and gen- tlemen, adequately thank you for your kind welcaine ; but I have “not words, nor utterance, nor the power of rpeech,” and I must content myself by saying in simple and sincere language, I thank you. Mr. Forrest, who seemed somewhat exhausted, retired amid great applause. At Niblo’s Garden, we had the “ first appearance of the eminent Spanish dancers,’’ with the sparkling little oyeratta called ‘The Marriage of Georgette,” im whieh Biss Louisa Pyne and Mr, Harrison played the principal parte. The parquette, first and second tiers of boxes, and orchestra, were filledjand there was a regular Niblo- Ravel house, including a large delegation of those well known people who are always seen at the “ first time’ of anything, whether it is the trial trip of a now steam- beat, the maiden speech of a politician, an excursion on anew railway, a rehearsal of a fresh prima donna, or the first step of a coryphée du Lalle, The house was ra- ther a “black one for Niblo’s; that fs, the gentlemen were in the majority. ‘the coin pany of dancers includes sixteen persons. Donnas Maria Arrayo and Josepha Barquera are the leading artists, an Lon Jose Llorente is the manager. They are very gool but we regret to be obliged to make the terrible announce ment that there is not a pretty woman inthe whole com. pony—that fs, co far as our vision, which was somewhat limited by numerous very nice hats of the latest fashions would allow us to judge. The ballet corps is well train ed, and they dance in the style which has already been mace familiar to the public by Senorita Soto, of whom one is forcibly reminded by the Senoriias Barquera and Arrayo. But the Spanish ballet, like everything7else Spanish, is rather slow for this Jatitude. Our peo. ple prefer the quick, electric, dashing tours de jore of the French school, the Iazy, Jan. guishing, luxurious poss of the Spanairds. They may do very well on the Plaza of Madrid, or the Alameda of Valencia, but they are not fast enough for Broadway. The dresses and general appearance of the dancers at Niblo’s were characteristic and picta reeque, and they had what the French call a sueods er time. The little operetta was nicely sung by Mixs Pyne and Mr, Harrison, whojwere greeted, as usual, with strong demonstrations of popular favor. The receipts of the bouse were about seven hundred dollars, At the Bowery theatre, the new play by Robson, “Love and Loyalty,” was brought out last evening, to a numo- rous and delighted audience, The story of the piece is founded on incidents supposed to have occurred in Bag- and iu the year 1663, and sets forth that Edward Mars- ton, whose father was a staunch adherent to Charles I., and was killed by the Puritany at Naseby, on returning from the wars in Spain, finds his paternal estate in the hands cf Master Vermont, an old Rounthead and a plot ter. Vermont has a beautiful danghter, Juliet, with whom and the Marston estates a great rascal, yclept Lont Verney, isin love. Young Marston, on his first appenc- ance, eeems to have a touch of the woman hater in his composition; but when Juliet, who disiikes Lord Verney, takes refuge from the persecutions of that nobleman in Marston’s cottage, the platonic merges into the passion aie, and the firet act closes with a recantation of tho Int- ter’s vow not to marry. The young soldier seeks his inamorata in her father’s house, and haviag been suc cousful in bis woot, requests her hand of her father, and on the venerable Roundhead’s inquiring as to his pecant- avy cfreumstances, informs the olf gentloman of his indi- gence, and indulges in wa argement (© prove the worth- Jessnces of money, which, st is meediess to say, tails to ty convince anybody. On the contrary, Vermont fi cecasion to cali Marston a traitor, which excites the of the latter, and gives him an opportunity to exhibit declamatory powers with very great effect. In the act a plot against the life of Marston is delineated, a) ‘Verney perpetrates a second insult upon the fair Ju which is very summarily ended by the interference Wilderpate, an heroic coxeomb. Plotting and consp are the order of the day, and the result is an attempt the life of the hero, who generously returns the weap which he has taken from his would-be assassin, and sen him away. Under the impression that Marston is d Verney drives his project of marrying the young lad and uses the fact that her father’s life is in his hands an argument to extort her consent, which she at len grants, On the morning before the ceremony is to place, she has an interview with Marston, whom she bh learned to léve, and he promises to save her, The tin arrives for the ceremony, and her signature is refused ‘the marriage contract, although her desire to save h father nearly overcomes ner hatred to Lord Verney, wh ‘the latter orders in # troop of officers to arrest Mas' Vernon. Just as that event is about to take plac Marston rushes in and forbids the arrest, showing tl King’s signature and seal as his authority,'and after a fe] pungent remarks to Lord Verney, he announces his inte tion to wed Juliet; and the affair is rendered doubly hapy by similar disposition evinced by* Ned Fenton, an 0 friend, to marry Juliet’s cousin Margaret, Marston wi very effectively rendered by Mr. Wallack, whose merit in this style of part are well known. Mr. Johnston ag peared as Vermont, and, aside from a little straining fq «fect, was unusually pleasing. Mr. Prior, who is alwa: good actor, made the character of the villain Vern as acceptable as possible, and the rest of the gentleme| acquitted themselves in a creditablemanner. Mrs, Ward as Juliet, acquired for herself an endorsement of the goo opinions she has already won, and the performances q the other ladies were equally satisfactory. The piece {j undeniably a success, and will be performed every nigh until further notice. The frg@gpanid satisfaction from a crowded Audience, to the efforts of the actors, and no gave more unequivocal signs of approbatfom than the pit} which was filled to overflowing with the representative! of Young America, and bore testimony that the B is emphatically the people’s theatre. At the Academy of Music Donizetti’a opera ‘ Linda di Chamounix”’ was performed last night, for—as announced in the bills—the last time, before an audience num: bering between five and six hundred persons. This house, ofprobably six hundred, was made up of people who werq drawn together by three prominent inducements. large number of them with whom the Linda is popoular, went to see it once again; and the portion who had neve! seen it performed went least an opportunity would no soonafter present iiself when they could have that pl sure, and the majority went in order to hear Miss Hens- ler sing the national air of ‘“ Hail Columbia” as if was duly announced in the Entre Acte, or official journa of the Academy, that she would do. Indeed, all werd more or less animated with this feeling, and amidst the| sample of “everybody” which was in the house, “Young America’? was largely represented and in high glee after reading in the paper already referred to the following announcement :—‘‘ Between the 2d and 3d act: of the opera, Miss Hensler will sing Hail Colambia.”” Th opera of “Linda di Chamounjx”’ is so well’ known, that it is unnecessary to state the plot or even its general out. lines. Madame Anna Lagrange rendered Linda with good effect, although in some parts her voice was d cidedly thin—whilst Signori Brignoli, Morelli, Rover: and Gasparoni, with Signorina D’Ormy, sustained the principal rdies in good style. In the second act, tha scene between Linda (Madame La Grange) and her father, Antonio, (Signor Morelli,) was given with an intensity of feeling expressive of such profound sorrow, humiliation, and paternal agony, as to render it at once melancho and grand, Signor Rovere was very effective as the Mar-| quis of Boistleury, whilst Brignoli’s Carlo was all that could be wished. Gasparoni, as the profect, and Signo. rina Morra, as Madeline, were very pleasing. As the per. formance proceeded, the applause was pretty general At the conclusion of the first act, it was announced| with regret, that Signorina D’Ormy was taken ill with| intermittent fever, but would endeavor to go through| the remainder of her part (Pierot‘o) as well as she was| able. Whilst everybody sympathized with Signorina| D’Ormy in her sudden attack, some remarked with what rapidity the disease had been diagnosed, and the type o the fever decided only for a very short inter- mission of time, had occurred since she was on the stage in apparently good health. This contretemps was, how- ever, soon forgotten, as everybody was feverish for the econd act to end, in order that Miss Hensler should begin her song, Many surmises were rife as to how she would appear, how she would look, and how she would be dressed, ‘Will she be wrapped in the American flag?” was replied to with ‘Oh, wait, you shall see be- tween the sccond and third acts.” But this patriotic expectation was doomed to a cruel disappointment. [She second act ended, the scene rose; the ‘third act com- mexced, and the third act was proceeded with and com- pleted, and there was no Miss Hensler; no ‘+ Hail Co- lumbia,”’ and, worse than all, no apology. Madame Lagrange sang the “ Lagrange Polka” as a finale, and the people disperred, leaving Miss Hensler and her friends to explain this questionable use of her name as best they may. At Wallack’s theatre, {there was a full house for the twenty-fourth night of “The Game of Love,” Mr. Brougham’s new five act comedy, and the last London farce, ‘‘ How Stout You're Getting.” This theatre is an established Institution, ignoring stars and tremendous sensations, but giving pleasant pleces, very well acted, and well mounted. The stock company is not exceeded in talent by that of any theatre where the English lan- guage is ypoken. Last night we saw the same nico, quiet, well-dressed people that one always meets at this house, The receipts were about four hundred and fifty dollars. The remarks made above about Wallack’s, will «pply generally to Mr. Burton’s very popular little theatre is Chambers street, which we also found filled last night, bya fine looking audience, to see the new play, “Stil Waters Run Deep,’ which has reached its twenty-fourt) night, having had much more suceess in New York thaa in London, where it was first produced. As we haw said before, the acting of Messre. Burton and (7, Jordas in this piece is worthy ofall praise. Mrs. C. R. Thorse and Miss E. Thorne also played last night in a piece cal ed “Love and Feason,”’ an old friend under a ue ¥ nang. Mr. Wood's uew and véry pretty little theatre, at No. 444 Broadway, was crowded to excess last night. We lind & mementary peep, but could scarcely get a sight the stage. This house, as we'l as Buckloy’s, 539 Broae way— where there was a good houso last evening—is tlt Leme cf the “African Opera,’ which is very popular ant execedingly well done. Mr. Macalister, the gentleman who gives “Magis Evenings” at No. 472 Broadway, and succeeds in delight ing all who come to see him, drew a fall house last night. He has « pleasant, off-hand style, which is quite taking, and is an adept in his art. at the Apollo Rooms, Mrs. Gibbs gave her ‘Hibernia’ en tertainment; at Chinese Hall, Mr. Smith displayed his panorama of Sebastopol. It was a great night al) around.
