The examination of Rev. Dr. Lumsden, who pro esses to belong to the Episcopal Church, was postponed ‘until noxt Saturday, November 3. The trial of Rev. Doun MoMahon was then commenced. Several witnesses yWwrers examined, by whom the crown established the fact ‘of te association of the prisoner with the Fenians at fort (rid and that he was armed. M. C, Cameron, for Bho de‘onco, delivered an able argument, saying that the gprsonor, a Catholic priest, was forcibly compelled to go awith the Fonians to give tual comfort to the Wounded ; that, as a priest, he could not refuse to attend he wounded and dying; more, he was on fis way to Montreal on private business when @he Fenians at Buffalo compelled his attend- @nce. The Queen's counsel replied at length, saying ‘tha: in jaw the fact that prisonors having in any way Bided ths invaders made him equally guilty. The judgo hon obarged the jury who, after retiring for nearly an hour, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner ‘waa then sentenced to be hanged on the 13th of Decem- Der nact. Tue news of the conviction and sentence to death of Potonet Lynoh, the Fenian, created the greatest excite- pment among the Irish citizons of New York.

Tho stock markot was buoyant yesterday, with special activity in Northwestera and Erie, Gold declined from 148 to 147, Trade on the whole was rather quiet yesterday, par- ticularly in imported goods, the value of which ie regu- lated by the price of gold. ‘The higher ruling of gold, as compared with a few days ago, induced greater frm- ness on the part of sellors; but this was in @ great degree counterbalanced by the absence of demands, which is almost as powerful a regulator as gold. In domestic produce trade was irregular, while cotton, petroleum, groceries, &c., were barely sustained, There was an ‘active movement in breadstuffs and pork, There was a further advance in corn, ta spite of the reports that the yield will prove to be large, the belief obtaining that large amount will bo wanted for shipment to Europe before the opening of navigation, Pork advanced about 50c., owing toa “corner” in the market, Freights wore quiet, but rather firmer, MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The news from and regarding Mexico which we pub- lish this morning is of the most interesting character, General Sheridan has issued at Brownsville, Texas, an order announcing that Juarez is to be actively supported, warning all parties not to attempt to violate our neu- trallty lawa, and denouncing Maximilian, Ortega and Santa Anna as buccaneers. In the meantime, as indi- cated by our news from the city of Mexico, the empire grows weaker, the breach between Bazaine and Maxi- milian is constantly widening, and the probabilities of ‘an abdication grow stronger daily. The order of General Sheridan is calculated to hasten the dissolution of the empire, ‘The examination of the Baltimore Commissioners was Tesumed yesterday at Annapolia, Their counsel waived the objections and pleas regarding tho jurisdiction in the case, and submitted to trial. Several witnesses were examined showing the bad character of the employés of the Commissioners, and the partisan character of their appointments and acts, The trial was not concluded. Governor Swann announced his intention to hasten its Conclusion, to decide on the innocence or guilt of the Commissioners as soon as it was evident to him, and to do his duty in the case immediately and fully, Our files from the Bahamas, dated at Nassau, N, P,, on the 20th of October, contain the details of the effects of the fearful burricance which swept over the town of Naseau and the out islands on the 2d and 84 of October. ‘The report is a very melancholy one, showing that about ‘one thousand buildings—dweillings, churches, warehouses: and stores—wore either completely swept away or thrown. down, and that probably over two thousand persons have been made houseless. The marine disasters were very severe and a uumber of lives lost in consequence, The United States steamer Winooski was to have sailed from Key West on October 17 to render assisiance to the American vessels on shore at the Mantilla reefs, ‘The trial of the alleged Adams Express robbers was continued yesterday at Danbury, Conn., without elicit. ing any now facts.

General Conner, formerly commanding in Utah, telographa that the Gentiles of that city are panic stricken, and advises Rev. Dr. Norman McLeod not to return there, The New Forcian Policy of President John- sen—Its Probable Consequences at Home and Abroad. It is interesting as well as important, to study in advance the consequences which are likely to follow a persistence by President Johnson in the foreign policy which he is said to have recently resolved upon in connection with our claims upon England for indemnity growing out of the Alabama depredations, and in regard to the French failure to impe- rialize Mexico. The plan which the adminis- tration seems {o have adopted is to press to an immediate settlement our just demands against ‘ngland, resorting to reprisals and war in case of # refusal on her pari to accede to those demands, and at the same time, or possibly preceding any such positive action, to enter into an agreement with the French Emperor in reference to the withdrawal of Maximilian from Mexico, the restoration of a republican form of government there under the protecto- rate of the United States, the assumption by us of the debt justly due by Mexico to French subjects and which was made the pretext of the invasion, and the transfer to us, by way of compensation, of Lower Calitornia and other portions of the Mexican territory lying con- tiguous to our own possessions. The part of this plan which we have men- tioned as second is really first. It is pre- liminary and accessory to the other portion. It would not be, perbaps, very discreet in our government to enter upon a war with Eogland while England’s powerful ally, France, had also some unseitled questions pending with us. But ict us first settle our difficalties with France on such terms and conditions as to secure her friendship and neutrality, and then we can afford to apply ourselves to compulsory measures with England. That is, as we understand it, the course of conduct which our government has re- solved upon. By relieving France at this lime of a most troublesome and expensive undertaking, on terms which will flatier her self pride or at least save it froma severe rebuke, we will be entitling ourselves to her gratitude. In fact we are in 9 position to stipu- late for her neutrality, if not indeed for her good offices, in our coniroversy with England. Louis Napoleon would probably not be very seriously averse, under any circumstances, to seeing the pride and power of his dear ally, England, humbled and diminished to a consid- erable extent; and her conduct to us in fur- nishing to the Southern rebels a fleet of pirate vessels to burn our merchant ships and destroy our commerce entitles herto no consideration at our hands. In regard to Mexico, we think the plan pro- posed will commend itself to the approval of the people of the United States. It clearly would be no gain to us to see Maximilian ex- pelled ifhe were only to be succeeded by one of those chiefs of factions that have been so long the curse of Mexico and tbat have ren- dered a steady government there impossible. But the plan contemplates the restoration of republican institutions to Mexico under the protectorate of the United States, and it will be for us, to establish, in accordance with liberal principles, a government there that will express and represent the wishes of the Mexi- can people, restore order and place the coun- try in the peaceful paths of zation and development, preparing it for a future absorp- tion into this republic. The inconsiderable sum that will be required to satisfy the French claims is of no account when compared with the objects to be attained by it, even if it were not more than compensated for by the acquisi- tion of territory. There will be still less difference of opinion in regard to the course proposed to be pursued against England. No action of our govern- ment would be so unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed by the American people as @ declaration of war against that Power, followed by en armed occupa- tion of Canada and ite annexation to the United States. If England persisted in her re- fasal to make fall reparation for all the losses sustained by our commerce in consequence of her treacherous fitting out of Anglo-rebel Pirate veanels, then our government wonld be sustained in levying war upon her, not only by the American people unanimously, but by the intelligent verdict of impartial public opinion in Europe. But would England risk the con- sequences of a refusal to make proper repara- tiont That is a question which time and the occasion would have to solve. While on the one side her governing class—the aristoc- racy—might accept war as a means of escape from the revolution undertaken by the Reformers, on the other hand there is a pretty settled conviction among the English people that their navy would stand a mighty slim chance of competing with our iron-clad fleets, and that any resistance they could make against our armies marching into Canada would be atill more hopeless. The chances, therefore, whether England would accept war or accede to our demands peacefully, are about equally balanced. In either event her humiliation would be pretty thorough, and the other nations of Europe would be very apt to enjoy it. And what would be the effect at home of this foreign policy of our government? Evidently it would tend, more than anything else, to strengthen the hands of President Johnson and give to his administration that measure of popu- larity which it stands 60 much in need of. The radicals would not dare to oppose that policy, being themselves as strenuously in favor of it as any other element of our population; they would therefore have to endorse it, and, to that extent, range themselves on the side of the administration. Pending its development we would hear no more threats of impeachment. The President, on his side, would cease his op- position to the policy of Congress in reference to reconstruction, if, indeed, the whole subject would not be tacitly permitted to drop and the Southern States be received back into the Union without further question or the imposition of any bard terms, With these promises of an easy solution of our home difficulties and of a maintenance of the national honor and inter- esta abroad, we think that the fereign policy foreshadowed will meet the earnest and hearty and enthusiastic support of the whole people of the United States—radical, conservative, democratic and republican—North and South. Let it go forward. The “Fierce Democracie” and Their New Chiefs. The “fierce democracie” of the State have within the past few days recovered something of their ancient confidence and courage and are beginning to rise up from their crestfallen condition. By some this change hus been attributed to an unforeseen brightening of their prospects in the coming election; but this is a mistake, The Baron von Hoffman and his “ring” have no more prospect of success at the polls now than they ever had. Indeed, their chances to-day are more hopeless than they were two weeks ago. The revival in the spirits of the “ fierce democracie,” who may consider themselves out of the woods and in the’ Woods at’ the same time, has no reference to the preaent election. It is induced by their unex- pected deliverance from an awkward dilemma, Asa party, they are nothing withont leaders, They are accustomed to follow, and are good followers; but cut off their heads, and they are powerless ina moment. They have recently experieaced deep sorrow and solicitude at the demise of their two greatest chiefs, on land and ‘on sen. First came the death of the lamented Dean Richmond, and the loss of his vigorous and piens side specches all over the State. Suddenly the blow was followed by the demise on the broad ocean of that other chief who two years ago pocketed his personal sentiments and entered the field against Governor Fenton, making eloquent speeches throughout the State, which resulted in crowning the republican ticket with a majority of seven thousand votes. The loss of these two leaders almost at the same moment struck dismay to the heart of the “fierce democracie,” and for a while they were given over to despair. But they have now dis- covered two younger and more vigorous chiefs to whom to transfer their allegiance and on whose leadership to rely. Two Johns have arisen in the democratic party in this city, with talents and acquirements and position and re- putation that fit them to fill the positions made vacant so inopportanely by death—John Mor- rissey and Jobn Hoffman. John Heffman is the thinker, the reasoner, the philosopher, the lawyer, the intellect of the remaining “rinz;” John Morrissey is the gladiator, the banker, the manager of nominating conventions, the real captain and ring master of the party, always ready to do the hard work and to put up stakes on results, Thus each has his ap- propriate sphere of action and both can boast an excellent mustache. Together they form the new leaders of the “fierce democracie” and relieve their followers trom a load of care. This is the secret of the revival in the apirits of the party. The loss ef Dean Richmond and Joun Van Buren is made up by the advance- meni of these two more youthful and vigorous cbampions to the command: and democrats may go to bed at nights and rest easy in the sesurance that their party is no longer without a head. Joun Horraasx ANxp Wenpeis, Printars ARM IN Anw.—These two distinguished public char- acters, the one the standard bearer of copper- headism, with a fierce and plentiful mustache, the other the pioneer of radicalism, with little English side whiskers, unite in denouncing the constitutional amendment as a “swindle.” Thus far they travel arm in arm. Wendell Phillips, however, who generally speaks out more boldly than other politicians, declares openly that the President mast he deposed and jrant and Sherman banished, so that “ Massa- chusetts may remodel Louisiana” and the radicals “have control of the machine.” Well, this may be the best way to get nia settlement of the difficulty. Let the democrats follow the fierce mustache and refuse to accept the con- stitutional amendment ns a finality, and let the radicals follow the little English side whiskers and make #n effort to abolish the constitution and seize the government, and then we shall get at something practical and definite, and the whole matter will be finally disposed of by the People, cee Mr. Bex Woon Retines.—It seems that Mr. Bon Wood withdraws bimself from the political field, He has had enough of trading with the Ting and retires im disgust. But his loss will scarcely be felt. Fernando Wood, Joya Mor- rissey and John Hoffman are going to take the democracy under their wings, gad wilt doubtless manage all matters to the PAlisfaction of tha “ving.” + cole SS SS ‘Tho Mexican Quen 10" Getting Clearer. * Corton ann Revorm.—The Atlantic cable Our intelligence fron. Hurope by the cable | informs us that the Manchester mills are now and our corresfondence fro: ™ the city of Mexico | running on “short time.” are of great interest and ahow some addi- | tional light upon the vexed qav'stion of French intentions in that country. Om” Mexico cor respondence states, on what app.’ to be good authority, that Carlotta posix \vely an- nounced to Napoleon the intention of 4 °F hus- band to abdicate, and that Napoleon gan? her little sympathy and little to hope for. She retired from the audience without having received any assurances of support or eveit ® promise that Bazaine should be peremptoriiy ordered home. To obtain Bazaine’s removal seems to have been the chief object of her mis- sion ; for it appears that the absence of all co- operation between the Marshal, who wants to be “Viceroy of Mexico,” and Maximilian has proved the chief obstacle to the firm estab- lishment of the empire. Disappointed at not being made an Empress, the gentle but ambi- tious Archduchess retired from Paris to Rome, to become, as is now stated, a hopeless and confirmed lunatic. Coupled with these statements from our cor- respondent we have the announcement by the cable that the vessel lately despatched by the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria from Trieste to Mexico will, as we surmised, take Maximilian home, and thus end his reign in Mexico. But @bat is to be done with Bazaine and Castelnean and the French troops which will still be left in Mexico? It is also an- nounced by our cable telegrams that twenty French war steamers are to be sent out to Mexico in November to take the imperial troops home. This is a wise docision, if such be really Napoleon’s intention. But the gov- ernment should see to it that this intention is carried out, and not permit a large French fleet to concentrate in the Gulf of Mexico for the purpose of gratifying Marshal Bazaine’s wish to be Viceroy of Mexioo. We do not be- lieve the purpose of Napoleon to be any other than to evacuate the country; but President Johnson ought to be satisfied of it and pre- pared for any other emergency. General Sheridan’s orde:, which we publish this morn- ing, is the first positive step of the positive poli- cy which is now necessary. If followed up it will do much not only towards hastening the exit of Maximilian and Bazaine, but in quieting the country and saving it from the ruin and distraction consequent on the quar- rels of the various liberal factions. Sheridan’s order is better than ten thousand men to Juarez; for it will put an end to the Ortega and Santa Anna factions, and all the pronuncia- mientos will be for Juarez and the republic. Tae First Fexran Convemnation.—The court sitting in Toronto for the trial of the Fenian prisoners has convicted and con- demned to death the first of those men sent be- fore it ona charge of having made a hostile attack upon her Britannic Majesty's colonial possessions in Canada and murdering her sub- jects. The law under which the condemned Robert Bloss Lynch—denominated “Coio- nel ”—was tried appears to have been enacted thirty years ago, after the Mackenzie insurrec- tion. The prisoner claimed that, although he was present wiih the Fenians at Fort Erie in June last, he bad xo hostile intention, was not acting ina military capacity and held no com- mond whatover in the Fenian service, but, on the contrary, was there in the legilimate dis- charge of his duty as a correspondent of a Lonisville newspaper, to chronicle the events which at that time attracted the attention of the whole American people, journalists and readers, The evidence for the prosecution showed that he was seen to wear a sword on one occasion and to issue some commands to the troops. In the absence of evidence to prove that he was simply a newspaper corres- pondent the jury convicted him, and he is now under sentence of death, the execution to take place on the 13th of December. The pri-oner asserted that if the officers in command of the Canadian expedition, Colonels Spear and O'Nei!, could be furnished safe con- duet to Toronto to testify in the case they would prove his innocence of the charge, as they best knew whether he held any military position under them. But. the Judge very frankly told him that the law did not permit him to guaranice the safety of these gentlemen if they showed themeclves in Canada; so the prisoner was left without his principal wit- nesses, “ Now the question is, will the sentence of the law be carried out? If the government par- dons Lynch it may make itself ridiculous ; if it hangs him it will exasperate the Fenians to a degree that may incite a more formidable raid than the firstone. li will be only storing up vengeance for the time to come, The Ca- nadian government, then, is in rather an em- barrassing position with regard to their pris- oner, who appears to be of doubtful Penian | antecedents, It is not unlikely, however, that the higher court to which the case will proba- the difficulty | bly be appealed may solve through some legal defect in the trial and set the prisoner at large. Seraxer Conrax Re-buecrep.—We are very glad that Speaker Colfax has been re- elected, because there is a parliomentary point or two which we wieh and intend to settle with him. He is responsible for all the trouble between the President and Con- gress. He originated the difficulty by silow- ing Thad Stevens to use language on the floor of the House concerning the President which would have disgraced a common loaler in a Five Points barroom. In our opinion it was the duty of Speaker Colfax to step Mr. Stevens and to insist upon the observance of the rules of debate, of common courtesy and of Congress. Speaker Colfax pretends to differ with ns and to believe that he was quite right in permitting Mr. Stevens and others to black- guard the President during the sessions of ibe House, and apparently with its official eanction. We intend to have this disputed point settled in some way, and we assure Speaker Colfax that be had better manage his menagerie dif- ferently in future. Had Henry Clay, or Lownder, of North Carolina, or Orr, of South Carolina, or Stephenson, of Virginia, or Banks, of Massachusetts, been in the Speaker's ‘chair at the last Congress, instead of Colfax,/no dis- order, no indecency and no quarrel with the President would have occurred. If'members of Congress insist upon condu: meelves more like wild beasts than like gentlemen it is the du%y of their keeper, tae Speaker, to maintain order, enforce the rales and protect other ‘Aopartments of the we, ment from in- autii. This is the device of the manufacturers to keep down the price of cotton by temporarily decreasing the de- mand. But if the cotton crop be as short as good authorities assert the price will be very high in spite of the manufacturers, The “short time” will have one good effect, how- ever—it will give the working men of Man- chester more time to think and talk and agitate about reform—more time to attend monster meetings and listen to that sturdy democrat, Jobn Bright. In this point of view “short time” bodes no little mischief to the aristoc- racy and will only hasten the inevitable revo- Intion which now threatens England. Were Napcleaw in Queen Victoria’s place he would keep the workingmen busy just now, even if he had to pay for the cotton out of his own pocket. He k.ows how quickly idleness leads to barricades, and he never permits unem- ployed workmen it France, RIs‘TORI. unst Night of the Season. ‘The farewell audience at the drench theatre last even- ing was a splendid tribute to Riskori’s genius and an en- couraging omen for the future of ¥he reformed drama, It was a grand finale to a season oftalmost unparalleled success. Every seat was taken, and evon standing room was hard to obtain. The sale of reserved seat tickets was stopped fifty minutes before the curtain rose, and hundreds were unable to obtain admission. Elizabeth is unquestionably Ristori’s greatest rdle. The rapid alterna- tion of love scones and death scenes, terrible remorse and exuberant joy, bring into dazzling juxtaposition her wondrous powers of comedy as well as tragedy, and enable us to view both phases almost at the same mo- ment, When wo add that last night Ristori surpassed herself,-little more need be said. In the fourth and fifth acts the enthusiasm of the audience almost overstepped the bounds of etiquette. of Ristori’s First Season—Resume of Her Career in New York. , Madame Ristori will bring to a completion this afver- noon at the ‘{héatre Francais, hor first season in America, which was unprecedented in the history of dramatic art in this country for the immense numbers who witnossed her performances and the pecuniary return to the man- agoment, She leaves this evening after the ‘matinée for Boston, where she will play an engagement of ten per- formance at the Boston theatre—eight nights and two matinées. Since her début in this city she has given eighteen evening performasces and three matinées, in- cluding the Macbeth matinée to-day, and has appeared five times in the Brooklyn Academy of Music, making twenty-six performances in five weeks. During that time there was not a single postponement, nor change in the play announced, The répertoire for the scacon was as follows :— In New York :—Medea twico, Mary Stuart four times, Elizabeth six times, Judith twice, Phiedra twice, Mac- beth three times, In Brooklyn—Medea, Mary Stuart, Elizabeth, Phiedra and Macbeth were each produced in succession, no tragedy being repeated. Upon the arrival of Ristori in this country, on the th September, on board the steamer Pereire, the sail- ing of which was announced by the Atlantic cable, an ample eketch of her life and professional career appeared in the columns of the Hxratv, From that time public interest, which had previously been excited by the an- nouncement of her American engagement by Sfr. Grau, Close centred in the: great Italian tragedioune. Never, per- | Hnps, did an artist receive #0 magnificent an apprecia- tion from the most intellectual classes of this com- munity, who, night after night, filled the French theatre to {ts utmost capacity. In those vast audiences almost every nationality was represented by its best educated, most critical and most fashionable peo. ple. Americans, of course, mado up the largest portion; but French, Italian, Spanish, German and English were there also in large numbers. From her first appearance as Medea, on the 20th of September, to the end of the season, there was no falling off in the attendance, the admiration or the enthusiaem, if we except the two nights when Judith was repre- sented, and on these occasions the house was not 60 full, owing, no doubt, to the fact that Biblical subjects are not as attractive to a New York audience as tragedies based on the Greek mythology or mediwval history. Of the former class Judith was the only oue offered in the réprr- toire of Ristori, In mythological story Medea and Pha- dra, although constructed upon unnatural and improba- ble incidents ana developing the least eympathetic char- acteristics of woman's nature, were relieved by the grand opportunities for dramatic representation, seized upon by the geni us of Ristori and used with such masteriy com- mand of the art, Such plays as Mary Stuart, Eiirabeth nod Macbeth, crude as they+are in construction, and defective in historical de tail, from the frequent an- achronisms in the two former dramas, which would be Indicrous if not redeemed by the splendid acting of the heroine, won more upon the sympathy of the audience, because of their familiarity with the subject and the characters, These tragedies, therefore, wore the most popular of any represented, and of these Macbeth was the least appreciated because of the deviation from the Shaksperian play observable in almost everything ex- cept Tady Macboth herself. We have not experi- enced the richness of Ristori’s répertoive, o ae which shine with the greatest lustre in the crown of her European fame have been reserved for her second sea- son, which will commence upon her return from Boston, Myrrha, Norma, Adrienne di Tolomie, Gamea, are yet to be produced.'and few, presums, would regrot to see Mary Stuart, Elizabeth, edea aud ina repeated. ‘There was a very noticeable feature in the Ristori andiences, and that was the atiendance of numbers of school children at the matinees under the charge of their teachers, who brought them there not for pastime, but for stndy. To those for whom a theatre of any kind has an undetined terror, as something demoralizing w the young mind, the performances of Ristori presented no object People too of vory advanced age, both men aud Women, whose amusement loving days are long past, mich have been seen, renewing, perchance, the memo- ries of some great actress who: oe them in youth, and inspiring from the great modern tragedienne some of 'he freshness of early days.

The chief réie, that of Batel, the chief cook, or artiste in a noble house, is exaggerated te an extent that verges on the burlesque) and, therefore, requires a skilful actor to portray it, Mr, Guttmann dia it full justice, interpreting the author's thoroughly; but, although he received a great deal applause, it was evident ie the sadience did noe ai ‘Ghamoter,) rr good “dedi of the nce was fo the French language, The piece is without real plot, but is intended to show how the French artiste to sacrifice all family ties, an@ (cook) ts willi even his life for the sake of his profession, and that the failure of a single dish is a blow so overwh: that can never be recovered.

Now York Theatre. This cosy and pleasant little theatre contained last evening a very fair and exceedingly well pleased evi- light entertainments with which the managers have de- termined to win the public favor, The Married Rake, which, hackneyed as it is, was received with laughter and applause, would have been more acceptable if Miss Fanny Young had given Mrs, Trictac in almost any other manner than that she chose to adopt. We presume her impersonation was extremely satisfactory to herself; but if it were to any one else in the house the excep- tional person made no outward sign. Mr. and Mrs. Gomersal are decided favorities, and were the life and soul of the droll comedietta of Lola Montez. The lady has a neat form, a rather comely face, sings and dances fairly, and, in her short skirts and pretty costume, re- presented what Joe Gargery was so fond of declaring hw Btrong-minded ier to-be upvaryingly. The fact thas ehe is perfectly self-satisfied, and shows it constantly does not lessen her attractiveness in the eyes of her many admirers. Lady Audicy’s Secret was greoted with roars of laughter; and Mr. Baker and Mark Smith, the latter as the heroine, were capital remedies for vapors of any kind of violet Satans, The very idea of Mark playing Lady Audley is so droll t it is easy to com ceive how irresistibly fanny he made it. Imagine Daniel Lamb:rt as La Bayadere, or an Illinois giantess as Mignon, and you have a faint suggestion of the sup- preme grotesqueness of the fair-haired bigamist in the Person of ono of the best comedians the metropolia cam boast of. We are to observe that the New York Theatre is gaining steadily in popularity. The enter- prising mere deserve success, and will doubtless gain it in this liberal and appreciative community. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul. These clever and popular artistes gave their conclud- ing evening entertainment last night in Irving Halt, The evening baving been set apart for their benefit, the hall was well filied with a fashionable and appreciative audience, “Ripples on the Lake” was the first thing om the programme, the second part being eomposed of vart- eties of the same kind as have been presented’by Mr. and Mrs. Paul since their début in New York. rs: Paul having recovered from the severe cold under which she has for some time been sui » rendered her 897 tance the caglnentetnesal {ter over wong. coi e. after every song. “Sneezing Song" and the “Star-Spangled Banner,’ botls of which are songs that require powers of order, were rendered by Mrs. Paul in such a us to establizh her reputation as a singer ordinary power. Mr. Pani was equally successful as better bal’ his “ When the Third Was King,’” and “Man About Town,” receiving from unmistakable signs of approval. As these clever are about to close their performances im New bat fair to congratulate them on the success with they have met in the city.
