The announcement that papers would be read before the American Geographical and Statistical Society last evening upon the location and parties of the Drnse war attracted to Clinton Hall a large and brilliant au tience among whom sat—officially unnoticed, but the observed of all—Lady Franklin, the guest of H. Grivnel), Heq. At eight o'clock the meeting was called to order by Jadge Daly, one of the Vice Presidents of the society, who ocoupied the chair during the first part of the evening. Several gentlemen were proposed and e'ected members of the gociety, and the regular order of business was then postpoted for the purpose of bearing Dr. Joseph P. Thomp- son’s paper upon LEBANON AND THE SEAT OF WAR, Dr. Tnomrson was introduced by Jugie Daly, and was received with hearty applause, He said that he had pre- pared his lecture upon the subject unter cousideration for a popular audience, and, at the requeet of one of the members of the society, he would read those portions only relating mainly to the geography and history of the Lebanon district, omitting bis appeals for popular aid, and leaving the characteristics of the Druses and Maronites to his friend Dr, Wm. H. Thompson, long a resident of that district and the son of Dr, Thompson, the well known missionary, The reverend doctor then proceeded with his paper, referring at intervals toa large map of Palestine, which hung in the rear of the President’s desk. The paper opened with a brief sketch of the picturesque scenery about Beyrout, with notices of the ancient monuments thereabouts, descriptions of the Lebanon and anti-Lebanon rapges, the valley between, and the approaches to Damascus, Mahomet’s earthly Paradise, the olde:t living city, lying bight with thousands of domes ard minarets in a sea of verdure, succeeded.

He mentioned the river Adonis, running down | from the mountains and reddened by some ferrugenous | deposit, because there the abominable rites of Venus and — Adonis were celebrated, and such monstrosities as those of the Druses’ religion have been at home there for forty centuries, Beyroot was pronounced the most important commercial city of Syria, and references to Tyre and Si- don, completing the connection of the Lebanon district == Mediterranean coast, concluded this portion of ure, Going back into the mountains, we find that what ap- pears precipitous ravges of hills are terraces, planted with mulberry trees for the culture of silk worms.

Having the features of lo- cation in one’s mind, it is easy to see how a warlike people, trained tains, could complete their work of destruction so gud- denly and thoroughly.

THE MARONITES AND DRUSES. Rey. Dr. W H. Tuomrson was reintroduced, and pro ceeded with the reading of bis paper. The rough moun- taina of Lebanon nourished their thousands of hardy mountaineers, who hurg gardens upon the cliff, and, berides tic ersentials of life, managed to raise such luzu- ries as ofl, tobsecco and silks. The traveller, disgusted with the dusty Egyptians and the baogors-about Jeruss. vem, hailed with pieagure the free, open carriage and casy native politeness of these people, many of whom had genealogies of which any nobleman might be proud some tracing their descent from @ line of kings named Hada, which is transiated by our “Smith” Chris- tianity reemed to ruin the Maronites.

Now they attempt to derive the word from the Arabian Dros, meaning ‘one well skilled,” but really this sect has the entirely original characteristic of being called after its own devil. For thelr own purposes the Turks have always stirred dup religious and other dis cussions among the Druses, even among separate fumes, cometimes by promising honors to one member and yiving them capriciously to agother. The cause of the recent war, said the Rev. Doctor in conclusion, is to be found neither in the Druses’ lodge nor the Marionites’ convent, but in the conclaves of the and oullmans at Constantinople and Damascus. Dr. Hocks, on behalf of the society, returned thanks to the Rev. . Thompeon for their interesting and in- structive papers, and the meeting atjourned.

Yesterday the scene was very different from that of the pre- vious day, Then every animal was in a state of rabid cx- citement, except an occasional sly fox, who, seeing far- ther than others into the future, bough} up all ho could and held it, On the street om Wednesday, at the corner of William and Exchange place, were to be seen men running About with ‘scared’ looks and whitened faces, and who would often stop suddenly and congult some friend ag to the chances of a fall, ‘How will it be?” “Will it go low- er?’ “Shall I sell out?” &c., were the queries of nearly all, and away they would start off and try to sell, oftener without avail than otherwise. ‘Central stocks’’ | went down rapidly, amd as they were deemed the ‘‘congois” of this market, of course others came down with them. Western stocks fell to such an extent that they have not even yet resovered the shock, In fact, all kinds of “fancy stocks’’ fell to a fearful depth. Yet most remarkable of all was the fact that “State stocks’ retained very nearly their | regular value, which seemed the more remarkable when Bmw of the panic ‘s made known, which is as I rs that many of the holders of stock, when look- ing at the aspect of the prosent election, and foreseeing ‘the inevitable dissolution of the Union, alarmed and they, in their anxiety to turn the script into hard money, ‘‘rushed’’ too much of the former into the market atone time, The insecure “animals,” ever on the look- out, saw this unexpected desire to sell,and took fright.

The political canvass epgrosses waiversal attention, The anxiety to hear the returns from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana is becoming intense, and even many repub- licans are fearful that Pennsylvania will go democratic, If the October elections in Pennsylvania and other North. ern States go republican, there will be an immense gain to that party here before November. Governor Downey, who bas been stumping the State for Dougias, expressed his opinion in private that California will go for Douglas by a large majority, aod that the Breckinridge ticket will run largely behind the republi- can. It is brs a the Bell and Everett men will mostly vote for Douglas. Sepator Gwin and Gen. J. N. McDougal have been mak- speeches violently abusive of each other, each ac cusirg the other of dishonestly representing California at Waehington. It is rumored that correspondence of a hotile nature is now proceeding betweea them; but there spy little danger of a duel, as papers in Oregon are very bitter in de- nouneing coalition by which a republican Senator was elected. The President of tho Senate, a Douglas demo crag, bas been burnt in effigy in the county he represents by the Dougias democrats.

NIBLO'S GARDEN. The ‘Dead Heart,” an Adelpbi drama, written by Mr. Watts Phillipe, was produced here last u'ght, Tae story— a rather interesting (ne—rung as follows: — Mr. Phillips prefaces the play with an acted proloy ¢. In these premonitory scenes, the pride, frivolity on! profigacy by which the patrician orders were so | ously distinguighed in the re!ga of Louis XV. are por trayed; while now and then, amid the waseatl and reve!- ry, the sullen murmurs of popular disoontent break ominously on the ear. Prominent among the loadin: characters is the Abbe Latour (Mr. © Fisher), ao in s8idous and dissolute churchman, who, beneath a poliahot ‘and persuasive manner, conceals a corrupt heart and « spirit savagely vindictive, | He prevails upon yo © un St. Velerie (Mr. Harkins) to carry off Catherine Duval (ire Conway), the affianced bride of Robert Landry (ar. pway), ® young artist, who ie regarded with bitter aversion at court as being the leader of an intrepid and enthusiastic band of students, whose eloquent harapgues bave awakened in the people love of liberty and scorn of their oppressora. The Coun} manages effect an entrance into Catherine's chamber a. night; her cries for help bring Landry to ber aid; but the Abbe, armed with a lettre de-cachel, and backed by a party of murqueteers, appears on the scene, and carries the artist to the Bastile. Ia this dupgeoa he remains for eighteen years. His friends believe him to be dead, and under this conviction Catherine gives ber band to bis rival, and becomes Countess St. Valerie. ‘Time weare on and the Count dies, leaving his only #0, Arthur, in the ‘diaarhip of the Abbe Latour, who re tolved to work his ruin, being urged thereto by a double motive—batred of the lad’s futher, and a dishonorable passion for his mother, whom he hopes to mould more easily to his purpose when she is removed from the intlu- ence of her son, The heartbroken mother indigaaatly rejects Latour’s overturce, but how shall she res- cue her iy the subtie villain who is ray | him to destruction’? The smouldering tires of the Revolution have now, im 1789, burst out in furious flames, and Paris i a scene of anarchy and bloodshed. The Bastile is taken by the mob, and amopg the prisoners whom they restore to liberty is Robert Landry, a poor emaciated creature, apparently in the last etage of mental and physical prostration, who, however, slowly recovers his consciousness, and, in the invigorating sense of freedom, gradually resumes bis native energy of intellect. On learning that Catherine Duval has been married to St. Valerie he reeolves on re- venge. In the second act find him an influential mem- ber of the Convention, and among bis proscribed victims are the young Count and the Abbe, both of whom have been imprisoned in the Conciorgerie, and are to be oon- signed to the guillotine the following morning. In vain had the Counters sued for morcy on behalf of her son. The ‘dead heart” of the prisoner of the Bastile is in- sepsible to the appeals of pity, and with cold disdain rejects the mother’s prayer. But with a reflaement of vengeance he resolves that Latour shall die by bis hand alone. The Abbe is summoned by his order to his private ‘apartment in the prison, where, after reproaching him with bis crimes the bitter wrongs bo bas endured at bis bands, he places a sword in bis band, and tells him he must Ggbt him on the spot until one of them be slain. ‘This interview concludes with a duel, in which the Abbe ja siain. The young Count is to be the next victim of Landry’s vengeance; but discovering from certain papers found in Latour’s pocketbook that the late Count St. Va lerie was not a party to his imprisonment, and that Ca- therine bad married the Count believing ‘Landry to be dead, the cold heart warms, Landry's love for Catherine returns, and, resolving to save her son's life, he mingles among the prigoners who are destined for execution, an swers to the young man’s number, and is borne to the Place de Greve, where he is about to be bound to the guillotine, when the curtain descends. As may be readily understood from the above resume of the plot of the ‘* Dead Heart,” it is rather an intorest ing and an exceedingly effective play. The management of Niblo’s have taken some pains to get it up properly. The scenery is very good, and the costumes, propertics, &e., excellent. We cannot ray as much for the acting Mr. Fiaher was clever in « disagreeable role, but Mr. Con- way, who bad the best part, was soslow end pompous in it as to make the play, whieh is at the best heavy, an intolerable bore, If Mr. Conway was not so anxious to make “points,” bie performance, as a whole, would be much better. He has yet to learn how to talk uaturally oa the stage, and might take some lessons from Mr Forrest who bas wisely discarded the usages of the smal! sword and knee breeches epoch. In this drama the authur evi dently intends that the most powerful effect shall be pro duced in the most natural, colloquial and easy way. Mr. Conwey quite defeats the author's intention, and thore fore Mr. Conway's rendering of the part should be re formed altogether. It may be doubted whether this play in the best hands, would succeed with our audiences. It is too sombre; and, not to put too fine a point upon it, dreary, It i# one ot those plays which tax the patience of the people very severely, and concerning which we are apt to say, after it is all over, cui bono? However, the “Dead Heart’’ was, all things considered, very wel! received iast night, and may be set down asa sure destin To night Mr. Forrest will piay King Lear for the last time. Oo Saturday the ‘Dead Heart’? will be re peated, and oa Monday Mr. Forrest will appear as Othello. CARLOTTA PATTI'S CONCERT. Last night, at Dodworth’s Rooms, Miss Carlotta Matti, sister of the famous prima donna, gave her first concert in this city, and was most cordially roceived by a very large and brilliant audience. Miss Patt! had the as sistance of her sister, Madame Strakosob, of Mme. Col gon, also Siguor! Brignoli, Ferri, Sasini aad Wm, Saar (pianist).

Her success was pronounced, anda we hope to bear her frequently in the concert room—ao arena in whieh abe has no rivals boreaboute, MISS CUSHMAN AS QUEEN KATHERINE. For the first time this season Charlotte Cushman took a Shakeperean part at the Winter Garden last night, thue affording the hopeful spectacle of the first American ao- tress and the first American actor illustrating the works of the father of dramatic poetry in the same season, though on different stages. Queen Katherine i, perhaps, the finest of Mies Coshman’s characters, her rendering o the two great coups in the tragedy—the trial scene and the death ecese—being unmatched as pieces of acting, combining |mmense dramatic force with astartiing truth falnees to nature. The play last night was well put apon the stage, sufficiently trae to costume and scenery, with out that magnidcesce which approaches the spectacular ‘The cast was very reapectable, embracing Couldock as Wolsey, who read the part generally well, though occa sionally monotonous jn tone and somewhat melotra- matic betimes.

The much talked of,and, in ite way, novel affair of a trotting match between the horses of some private gen. tlemen—professional turfmen excluded—same off yester- day at the Fashion race course, near the village of Flush- ing, and waa real and decided euzceas, It was no cut and dried humbug alfair, like the matches between Flora Temple and Patchen, where it is all arranged in advance What horse shall win, and where the owners aud backers go shares, It is time that these race course rehearsals Should stop. Tbe gentlemen who got up the match yes- terday at Fashion course were not of the professional stripe. Living in the suburbs, they own fast horses, and are inevitably interested in everything connected with trotters ancl pacers, but they are not, for all that, admirers of the style in which matchos are generally got up and car- ried out on the Long Island courses, Aud so they thought they would try their band at a litle private aitsir on their own hook, Mr. Monnot, formerly of the New York Hotel, offered a purse of $500. To be sure, he may have calculated on the chance of being reimbursed that littie sum by the receipts at the gate, and the probability ir that they figured up thst amount, more or leas. There were three horses entered for the prize:—Mr. Monnot's own horse, Tartar—a fue, stylish, dark brown, spirited animal; Mr. Felter’s Patram—a light bay, awkward look. ing horse, but possessed of great power and speed; and a handsome little mare styled Belle Brandon, the name of whote owner was not given ov the bills. Perhaps Belle Brandon's owner had scruples iu regard to the morality of the affair, and thought he would— ~ — ‘Do good by etealth,”’ Nor ever “Bluth to find it fame.” The day was all that could be desired—one of those warm, balmy, brooding days peculiar to the season, as if our good mother Nature, exisusted with her efforts in produsing such a splendid harvest as las blossed our land, thought she would indulge hertelf in a quiet reat.
