As is usual en such occasions the femivine element was predomi uant, while hore and thore were seen the gray uniforms of ‘be revels ali weuding their way to the centre of attrac- tion. By ten o'clock the levee was densely crowded, leaving wenrcely room to stir. Every window was ornamented with faces iu ail etyles of beauty and ugliness, and as each rebel soldier passed by handkerchiefs would. be waved and cheer after cheer would resound on all sides. tm order to check any hostile demonstration that might be made a battory of field pieces was placed in position and the eervices of a military guard were beld in requisi- Yon, Ip consequence of this arrangement tho eecersion- tats have promulgated the absurd story that General Banks had the artillery down to the levee for tbe purpore @f shooting down the women; and a story that five or nix ‘women had been run over by the gun carriages was in- dustriously circulated. Lhere is uot one word of trath im the report, which was gotten up undoubtedly for tne ‘Prrpose of inflaming the passions of the men, and to etir of ‘Abem up the commission of some deperate act which Great could have resulted only in their own destruction, bas been the mancuvring at this suppored act of atrocity Geveral Binks has been stigmatized as being worse than Butler, who, the secessionists declare, would never have done such a thing, “bad as he ie.” As on the last occasion of @ flag of truce being sent to Madiwonville, the representatives of the press were iur- ished with one general pags for the whole body; and it was intimated to the gentleman to whom it was given that the hour of departure bad been changed to tbree o’elock. At that hour I went on board, when the first ‘thing that attracted my notice was a rebel soldier undergoing the operation of being searched by a special ofticer, who had been detailed for that duty: e process wag not a very pleasant one, and conld not be borne without pec: Pockets, cap, the linings of coats and otber garments, mcluding even that precious article of at tire, sacred to the sterner sex—namely, the toga virili— wore all subjected to the manipulation of the officer. Nay—and my modest pen blushes as it records the fact— that same sacred garment underwent, in more than one instance, the desecration of a partial removal. ‘The search, however, «id not resait in the discovery of anything very @rcadful--only @ few small parcels of medicines, some ‘tale of ink and nineteen miniature “‘secegh”’ pers, medicines avd some of the tags were seized; but a number of the latter oacaped seizure, for they were triumphantly, but uot dedantty, displayed Dy their owners on gaining the deck of the rebel fag of truce boat. loka survey of the motley crowd with which the saloon was tilled.

The New Brunswick was now cast off from the brotic, when three hearty cheers for Oolonel Clarke burst from the rebcis. Cheers were about being given fur some of the other officers when an accident, which migit have proved fatal, ocearred, effectually preciuding any further monstration of the kind. The wave vaused by the paddies of the New Brunswick made the Frolic careen slightly to the port side, throwing dowa a pile of fuel wood, which struck five rebel soldiers who stood op the guards, carrying them over- Dourd. ‘woof the men were instantly ‘grasped by their comrades, and rescued with some difficuity, The other three caught hold of the starboard paddlewheel of tbe New Prunewiex, upon which @ ery was raised, “Stop the wheei.’” ‘This. was done with admirable quickness, or the men must have been inevitably lost, Fortunately the boat of the New Brunswick had ‘becn towered. it was quick!y manned, and the throe men were rescued, appa- rently none the’ worse, “barring” a good dncking, and, perhaps, ail the better ‘for the washing, which they sadiy heeded. | No lives were lost. ‘We left Raton Rouge at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 28d, and arrived at Carrolton about eleven o'clock, remainmg there for the night. At daylight next morning we retarted for New Orleans, which was soon reached. ‘The total number of prisoners transierred to the Frolic was three hundred and thirty-nine, of whom twenty-five were officers. ‘They embrace mempers from the Crescent regiment, the Eighteenth, Tweuty-third, Thirticth and other Louisiana regiments, with a sprinkling of artillery aod infantry. ‘The Iberville returned from Baton Ronge on Wednes- day, bringing witn her #ix bundred and thirty-three ex- changed Caton prisoners trom Galvestor AS, ViZ-— two hundred xud fifty of the Forty.second Massachusetts Voluntecrs--with the Rey.

There arrived also cighty five of the crew of the Harriet Lane, together with four en- gineors of the same vessel and Surgeou Penrose. Twenty of the crew of the Harriet Lane make up the sum total. ‘These men give full accounts of the disaster at Galves- ton, but the Heracp has already published such graphic descriptions of the affair it would be a work of super- erogation to repeat the story, even if space admitted. ‘There is one feature worth noticing, however, and that is that an ivvelligent soliter of the Forty second Massachu- sette and apparently au equaily intelligent sailor of the Harriet Lave unite in saying that during ove period of the tthe rebel Generst Magruder was in full retreat. to which end he had spiked and abandoned pearly all his ‘uns, numbering many batteries, ‘The terrific attack on Harriet Laue by the rebel gunboats, however, turned the tide of victory aud enabled the rebels to rally, when the Harriet Lane was overpowered vy the sheer force of overwhelming numvere. ‘The following interesting account of the adventures.of tbe Union prisovers is given by Sergeaut William H. Bunt, the soldier alrcady referred to.— Thursday, January 22, the prisoners were removed from Houston by railroad, and made fifty-three miles in ‘Ofteen hours. through a wild an@ desolate country, and arrived at Reaumont on Friday, and were quartered in an old sawmill, which was full of hogs und vermin, The hogs were turned out, but the vermin re mained.

Mise Mary Provost, who enacted the prin- cipal character, is also the translator of the play, which is of Brench ox The original title of the plece was “La Faurse Aduitere,” and it was written by Mf.

The langue Francaise is admirably adapted to such plays; for it expresses a great deal more than is said by the characters. When a French play is liverally translated ail the life seems to leave it. ‘This is the fault of Miss Provost's “Lucie D/Arvilie.”’ ‘Le make a success- fol piece of it she should bave taken the incidents and clothed them in entirely new language, expressing the sense and mob the mere jtera: meauing of the French words. “Lacie D’Arvilie”’ ia an extraordinary melodrama.
