Paton, Franols Adams, Obadiah Jackson, Jr., James Larmon, James Geary and a Mr. Semmes, nophew of the pirate of that name. Jackson, who is Grand Seignor of the Order, in an inter- view with the authorities, stated that fa a meeting on the Sunday before the election the subject of the release of the rebel prisoners was discussed, and that Walsh, Geary ‘and Paton stated that there were plenty of arms in the city for allof the Order, and that a rendezvous for tho distribution of the arms were indicated, one of which was the Invincible Club room. At this mecting Jackson discovered that the objects of the organization were treasonable, and determined to expose it, but the mili- tary arrests mado oa the same day be thought rendered it unneceasary. Amusements, THEATER FRANCAIS. Les Femmes Terribles, the pleco which is baving such a run just now in Paris, was produced last evening, for the first time, at this house. The plot is very intri- cate and would occupy too much space to describe. In fact, of the essentials which are required to make up ‘8 legitimate comedy it has but few. The situations seem to grow out of each other by accident and without any view to rogular construction, the idea being merely to illustrate the dangers resulting from the reckless gossip in which the fair sex are but too apt to indulge. This is very amusiogly and effectively done through the bavardage of Mme. Larmet, who, ia a rol: entirely diffe- rent from that in which we nad occasion to speak so favorably of her on Monday, had an opportunity of displaying the versatility of her The more wo seo of this Iady, we aro Jed to the conclusion that M.

M. Larmet, who played the principal male character, had an opportunity for dovelop- Ine to'a greater extent than on Saturday the taleat.whieh bo undoubtedly possesses. He plays with spirit and in- telligence and requires only to pay a little more attention to bis custume to make @ most acceptable actor.

A little comedy in two acts, entitled Come cerda. wag played at this theatre for the first time lam ~vht.

Ite characters @re not such irresistibly ploasant persons. Its complica- tions do not allure and {nterest in the same way. Its situations have much less humor, and its dialogue has infinitely less wit, Yet, though it falls thus far bebind the master pieces in imitation of which it was written, Court Cards is far from being ® poor play.

The manmuvering and skirmishing lasted for sevoral hours, and was witnessed by General Sheridan and most of our general officers. Tho rebel cavalry was finally compelled to fall fback in great confusion, and our men drove them into and through Newtown. BARLY ADVANCES HIS INFANTRY AND AGAIN FALLS NACE. During tho tiove this engagement lasted General Karly was advancing with bis infontry, and had already reached Middleto to which place their cavalry re- treated. Our losses were very small both in killed and wounded. A reconnoissance was made to-day by the cavalry as far as Cedar creek.
