The audience that attended this artist's concert on ‘Tuesday night was the most fashionable one we have seen in Modworth Hall. Senorita Carmelina Poch ‘sang the blero from the Sicilian Vespers worve than ever ‘we heard her before. Her voice and method were forced and spasmodic, and produced a disagreeable impression on her hearers. She has naturally a good, woll trained voice, but she sometimes uses it injudiciously. She was better in the little Spanish song that followed the inevi- table encore, The trio from Altila, which was sudstituted for the quartet from Dom Pasquale, was deficient only in the bass, Signor Remi sang that part ina harsh, disa- greeable voice, which completely marred the fine tenor of Signor Tamaro and Senorita Poch’s so- prano. Madamoiselle 0. Gomien, another of our good American contraltos, sang ths cavatina from Mercadante’s Donna Cariten very well. An eight hand arrangement for two pianos of Liszt's Rakozy March, and an Allegro by Ascher, were splendidly played by Messrs, Dachauer, Pecher, Lejeal and Eick. The custom of changing the pieces on the programmes of many of the concerts has become a nuisance of late. Af the director of a concert makes out a certain bill and diatributes printed copies of it to the audience ‘he ongnt not certainly change any portion of it from mere caprice. ‘It ix no sufficient reason that one of the artists forgot to Dring his copy of the music, or that another immediately bofore bis or hor part didn’t caro for singing wiat was set down on the bill. The audience might as well have no programme furnished them under this system.

WALTER B. JOHNSTON'S CONCERT. The promising young organist of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church gave @ concert at Irving Hall last night. Mrs. Marie Abbott, soprano; Miss Marie Regnaud, pia- nist, and Messrs. Morgan, Colby, Abbott, Castle and Campbell assisted. Mrs, Abbott sang “Consider the Lilies’ better last evening than ever we heard her be- fore. Mr, Abbott's organ accompaniment was a grace- ful setting to this gem of sacred music. It ts a rare treat in concerts in this city to bear such a powerful, well modulated and trained soprane voice as that of Mra. Ab- dott. Miss Regnaud made her debut in a very unfortunate selection, namely, an arrangement of Mendelssohn's Wed- ding March by Franz Liszt, This piece is extremely difficult (thoroughly Lixztian) and demands more powers of execution and more brillancy of style than Mise Regnaud possesses. She gave afvery tame and uneven rendering of if, and in the extraordinary scale passages which L'sat haa interwoven in the end of the pieces, she was completely indistinct, Here and there through the mareh she showed some ability as a pianist, but the gen eral effect was poor. Mr. Johnson played the overture of Masaniclio and a brilliant fivtasia of his own, founded on a thome from the Star of the North, ina highly credit. able and finished manner. Of the other artista, Myssre Morgan, Castic, Campbell ana Colby, we have spoken at Jongth in previous concerts.

PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION THE GOVERNMENT FORCES DEFEATED. | The Insurgents Alleged to be Backed by the Haytien Government, Pimentel Proclaimed President of the Republic. The Rebels Marching on the Capital. kee ke. By the arrival of the Spanish steamer Moctezuma at Havana on the 11th instarft we have later and important news from St, Domingo. The news relates to the revolution which broke out on the frontiers of Hayti in the commencement of March. The generals who headed the rebellion were Domingo Ramirez, Francisco Moreno, Luciano Murillo, Timoteo Orgando Juan Contreras, Domingo Lasala, Aniceto Mar tnez, and the Military Governor of Barahana, Rabi, the commandant of Neiba, abandoned that place Without w-iting for the insurgents, who were thus ena- bled to “ash forward and advanc? as far ag the river Yaque, wr.ich is to the Haytiens another ‘EI Dorado.”’ ‘There was anothor movement in San Cristobal, headed by Marcos Cabral, nephew of General Baez, which, in less than three days spread rapidly as far as Maniel. Thia revolt was, howover, supprossed by the government Subsequently to the above events other movements had occarred. A column of nine hundred troops ocou- pled San Juan after some skirmishing at Yaque and Jinoba. Another column, consisting of four hundred men, after neagin the insurgents near the river, and flanking thé de Canela (the seat of the rebellion), took possession of Neiba. On the 8d of April the faction of Neiba, after stopping the supply of water for upwards of twenty-four hours, attacked the government troops from several points and defeated them. The latver had one bundred and thirty prisoners taken and lost the greater part of their armaments. The column of government troops at San Juan then moved to Corojo, which borders on the Yaque river. ‘There are besides eight hundred men at Azua, There can be no doubt that the revolutton is backed by the parce government. Ald pplies the insurgents receive they obtain from that quarter—money, guns, powder and provisions—in gteat abundance. The powder they got in the beginning was received in cans, and the lead in bars; but now they get cartridges duly prepared. Valentin Ramirez—a natural brother of Baez—had ben appointed as Commander.in-Chief of the govern- ment troops. He iting for reinforcements, before the military operations can be resumed. But to fight the enemy with any prospect of success be would require from two thousand five bundred to three thousand men. After the defeat at Ne‘ba and the retreat from San Juan, no one can tell what proportions the revolt may assume. Another revolution bad broken ont since the above ac- counts, headed by @ certain Leperon and Fed»rico Garcia, ‘the result of which was the downfall of Baez. Pimentel, say the last accounts, had been proclaimed President of the republic. ‘The insurgents were marching on the capital. After Baez had beaten the Haytiens (on a former ovcasion) a secret conspiracy had been formed to assassi- nate him. The New French Theatre. MERTING OF THE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE FUND.

Mr. Honry A, Smythe was yesterday personally in- stalled in office as Collector of the Port of New York, and the Assistant Collector and Deputy having been sworn ia, entered at once upon the discharge of his duties, The proceedings were conducted very quietly, and there was little or no excitement among the employes of the department, whose interest in the mattter has long since become extinct, owing to the much delayed appointment of a Collector, At nine o'clock precisely some twenty of tho principal officers of the Custom House assembled in the Collector's office, where they were received by Mr. Smythe. A few minutes later, the gentlemen present having beom introduced to the Collector elect, the Acting Collector, Mr. Clinch, made a few re marks, He said that, collectively and individually, those assembled bade tr. Smythe a cordial welcome gg the head of the institution of which, he trusted and believed, they bad all been faithful functionaries for years past. The speaker surrendered into Mr. Smythe’s banda the authorities and powers which vad devolved upon him by the untimely death of their esteomed friend, the Hon, Preston King. and that with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. He trusted that the now Col- lector might long continue to administer the office with the app son of the government and with the con- tinued commendat.ons of the commercial community, with whose business interests the new incumbent was to be 80 intimately connected. In concinsion, Mr. Clincn: said that they hailed him and proclaimed him by ap- pointment of the President and with the unanimous approval of the Senate of the United States, Collector of the district of the city of York. “As you shall discharge your functions, sir, with integrity and justice, 40 help you God.” KEMAKKS OF COLLECTOR &MYTHE. The Deputy Collectors having been sworn, the Collec- tor addi the assemblage in substance as follows :— He said that he thanked bis friends most heartily for their kind reception, and believed that a fow words from him previous to his assumption of office would not be inappropriate, He entered upon his new duties with considerable anxiety, but with an earnest desire and firm determination to make his administration acceptable, and he would look to those around him for aid and sup- port. The institutions which he received when in Wash- ington were brief and to the point. The President sug- gested that he should be surrounded by loyal persons And those true to the Union and to the government, On the other hand the Secretary of the Treasury required that he should employ competent and reliable men only, and both these views he proposed to carry out to the letter, The speaker intended to devote his individual timo to tho business of the office daring office hours. While he would not overlook the interests of the government in their minutest details, penae attempts at frauda, aad checking irregularit! of all kinds, be felt that every facility and courtesy ought to be extended to the business community, Great complaints had been made to the authorities at Washington of ae and irregularity in the workings of the department. Mr. Smythe could not say whether these complaints were or were not well founded; if they were true, the causes of complaint would demand and receive immediate attention. Poli- tically, the speaker had fittle to say, for he was no politician. He proposed to be true and loyal, and he was a republican, He would, of course, like to have around him those who were of tho same poli- tical creed, The words “loyal persons,” aa atts by the President, could be easily understood. 1! cutive frowned on secession from the first, and from the jiest days of the struggle denouncsd the rebels, who have since been brought to their senses. The President now denounced the radicals—those of the ultra cast, at least—rogarding them, a8 he did those whose opinions wore in the other extreme, as unfriendly to him aud to the Union which he had endeavored w proserve and re- store. The speaker did not, however, propose to brin, up for discussion the subject of politics. He dielike extremes; had been made to suffer them, and only advised all to take the broad and middie track. Mr. Smythe bronght his address to a close by thanking his awociates and friends for their encouragement, and stated that be relied npon them, and especially upon Mr, Clinch, the experienced and efficient Deputy Collec tor, to enable him soon to become familar with the de- tails of the department. Mr. Smythe having concluded, the deputies withdrew and left the new Collector to the congratulations of his friends. THE RIGHTS OF OFFICE SERKERS will receive particninr attention at the hands of M Smythe, Although no removals or appointments ha: ag yet beon decided upon, there are several va cies which must be filled, and many drones in the department whos services can easily be dispensed with For the few positions whieh already require ocenpants ther» aro hundreds of applicants, The tollector was yesterday besieged by offlee seekors; but the publication of te annooneement that he will reesive the visite of postnlants between the hours threo and four o'clock every aft moon will check their movements In the fotare. While the adoption of thie measure will define the rights of members of the place-hunting fraternity, t will enabl the Collector to bestow his undivided atten'ion vpon the aflairs of the Dopartmost, of whose workings he is not yet wholly au fu!

Here he commenced the practice of his profes sion in 1815, and roon after began to indulge in that great weakness of the legal profession, politics, In 1816 he was elected to the Legislatare, and devoted the next four of bx hf tw law and legislation. Frou 1820 to 1826 he was Jadge of the North Carolina Superior Court at Raleigh. In 1840 he was a prominent advocate of the election of General Harrison to the Presidency, and on the accession of that officer to the chair Mr, Badger war appointed Secretary of the Navy On the death of Mr. Harrison and the secession of “Captain John Tyler” from the whig fj Mr. Badger ng oo giving the teto of Presi dent Tyler on the second Bank bill as his reason for re. tiring.

OUR FORTRESS MONROE CORRESPONDENCE. Fortamss Monnor, May 15, 1866, The rumor I referred to yesterday of 4 special message having been sent here by President Johnson asking an immediate report to be made upon the present condition of Jeff Davis’ health proves to have been correct, Such report has been asked for, and Dr. Cooper, United States Army post surgeon, has already forwarded the required document. From what I have learned to-day the report is of @ character that would not facilitate procuring « Policy of life insurance for Mr. Davis, On the cont rary he is represented as being in an excocdingly low state of health, and having become very much debilitated from want of sufficient exercise, his thuscular system reduced almost to the feebleness of an infant, bis nervous sys- tem completely broken down, and the vital forces re- maining to him insufficient to ward off any sudden attack of serious disease. His long imprisonment, continuous anxiety qud harassment of gleep, from frequent changes fay aud might of the guard pluced over hiv, age repre: sented as the imoiting causes bringing about this phy- sical condition. That some decisive action must follow the submission of (his report there can be little question, The loast that is looked for is au order granting him the Privilege of unrestricted walking and exercise during the day. Some time since, through the earnest protesta- tions of Dr. Cooper that he must have more exercise, his me for exercise was extended to three hours per day. Within the past three days the number of the ward stationed in bis immediate proximity has been ikewise reduced. No pacing sentinel now walks incessantly in front of his room windows, and two other sentries who walked with the same’ unending tramp on two other aides of the room have had Jeasened the length of their beats, so as to lessen their disturbance of him in the frequent changes of guard. These later changes were also effected through the influence of Dr. Cooper. Putting all the facts I can get together Jeff Davis has evidently nearly reached the end of his life lease, He is in no condition to resist disease, and it is deemed doubtful whether he will bo able to stand up under a protracted trial In his indomitable will there is strong power of resistance; but as the granite column trembles and finally breaks under the incessant lashing of the sea, so this iron will may become broken under the too long and incessant burden he bas had to bear, THE TAKING O¥P HATS TO JEPP, It is currently reported that the questioning as to the state of health of Mr. Davis is likely to start up other questions, and call for a general submission of steward- ship as to the treatment he has received during his con- finement here as prisoner. Should such a rendering of accounts be called for it is alleged that some very unpalatable facts will be developed, and revelations of very unbecoming indulgences in very small aud petty feelings, Much of this is doubtless merest talk. The gravest fuult-fnding I Ond at present is with a recent verbal order forbidding oificers from taking off their hats to Jeff Davis or shaking hands with him, While there are those who would both approve and appland an humbling and contemptuous course of conduct toward Mr. Davis in his present position as prisoner, there are those whose natural gen- Uemanly instincts and life-long — mingling — with polite and refined society would revolt against such treatment toward almost any prisoner, and particularly oue of Mr Davis’ antecedents, rare culture Abd the honored social and political associations of his past life, Secretary MeCulloch did not think it unbe- coming in himself to ramove Lis hat when introduced to Mr, Davis, and shake him warmly by the hand at meet- ing and parting with him, ESCORT FOR MRS. DAVIB. It was not my intention in my present letter to diverge off into topics disconnected with the health of Mr. Davis and the showing how eutirely the official re- port just made on the subject condrms what I have all along been writing, but being in the Aiverging way I will Tefer to another recent order which {x also the basis of a good deal of fault Qnding. This latter order concerns the treatment of Mra. Davis, and likewise involves a point of politeness After her arrival it was customary foran officer to escort her back and forth from her own quarters in ber visits to her husband, This work has now been deputed to an orderly; and officers whose gallantly might induce such acts of atten. tion are prohibited from exercising their politeness in any such way. Laterdicting politeness Mre. Davia most unquestionably is one—is rather a Startling novelty in the way of military etiquette.

Matleatadt ws, The Ninth Avenue Ratiroad Cimpiny. —~ To this case it appears that the plaintut and a boy’ advut his own age got on ono of the defoudant’s cars at | ¥po- nard street, to be taken to Forty-thint street, Wh they arrived at Forty-third street tho plaintiff anu his companion requested the conductor to stop aod let them off, This the conductor refused to do, after which the plaintiff's companion got off while the car was in motion, going at a slack rate ot speed. When the car arnved at about the middie of the block, between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets, the plaintiff also attempted to alight ffom the car, and as he did s0 the conductor took off his cap and struck at bin with a whip, and as the plaintiff tried to avoid the blow, he fell and was run over and injured. On the trial before Mr. Justice Janes the complaint waa dis missed on the ground that the plainti® was himself negligent in attempting to alight from the ear before it was stopped. Counsel for the plaintiff? on the appeal now insists that it is not negligence for a paasenger to alight from a street ear while it is in motion when be ‘bas previously notified the conductor to stop, and he re- fuses todo so; that the defendants having, by their own act, in grossly violating thelr duty towards the plainti®, had inducod his action, nd that they caunot now attribute that action to him as negligent; that the defendants were the authors of the wrong, and had put the plainti in a position in which they had no right to put him, and having done so they cannot now take ad vantage of their own illegal act. He also claimed that the question whether or not the plaintiit acted under the circumstances with common prudence way a ques tion solely for the Jury, and that the Court erred in dis missing the complaint, Counsel for the defendants argued that attempting to alight from a car while tt isin motion was in itself closive evidence of neglivence in law, and must his recovery in this action, whether be had previously requested the conductor to'stop or not; that 1f a con- ductor refused to stop when requested, and @ passenver was thereby carried out of bis way, bis remedy was by an action against the company for negloct.ng t atop the car, Decision reserved.
