Feeling ef the Canadinus—They Clamor for the Kxecution of the Fenian Prisoners. "MONTREAL, Oct, 20, 1866. ‘There seoms oaly one feeling among the Canadians— that the law must take its course with the Fenian pris- ouers. They maintain that these men’s crime cannot be held to be iu any way considered as a political offence, that they came into @ peaceablo country without cause and murdered innocent men, that the Irish citizens held them in as mueh detestation as did those of any other nationality, that it wasa mere pretext io obtain lander and to bring im fresh contributious to e treasury depleted by the wasteful extravagance of swindling leaders, and that no shadow of patriotism rests upon a wicked and wanton outrage. They say, too, that they wil rally around the government in defence of the country, let the attack come from what qnarter it may, and that if they are beaten it must be in a fair stand-ap fight These are the sentiments expressed on all sides, both publicly and privately, At the same time they say that there is no desire for vengeance or wnne- cessary punishment, and if any reaeunable considera- be. &e. tion can be shown for leniency to the prisoners that it , will be exercised, bat mot (rom the fear of Fenian threats, tferd, Ca: in, Sacked by re Roberts Sweeny, &es Torosto, Oct 30, 1566. ‘The Episcopal church in Brantford was entered by a party of Fenians immediately after the receipt of the mews that Colonel Lynch aud Rev.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK WERALS. Bosten.-Mary Stuart Pro~ ton Pres» Appreciate Ristori, &e. * Boston, Oct, 90) 1866. The fastidious, the exacting Boston public have seen Ristori the Great; have criticised her sharply, severely and carefully; have compared her with the renowned, the wonderful Rachel, and have found that she bears nobly their harsh criticiata, and equals, if not in some measure surpasses tho great French actress Her name stands among the highest of the few eminent tragedi- ennes of the world, They have woighed her in the balance and she has not been found wanting, The press came out this morning in words of the highest praise and appreciation of her talent. Not one paper made a singlo attempt to criticize her acting. In allud- ing to her reception at hor début last evening, the seif- conceited tea-table newspaper of the city says Boston has its notion, and shakes its head dubiously at the en- thusiasm of commercial New York, even though its praise be awarded to a renowned an artist as Ristori. It is therefore most satisfactory to know that the modern Athenians did make ap effort Inst evening to send their most distinguished representa- tives to witness Ristori’s enirée in Medea, whieh repre- sentatives gave hor such a welcome as inay cause the Thédtre Frangais to blush. The audience applauded with much discernment, and recalled the great tragedienne in the heartiest manner, This be it sald to Boston's credit, Madame Ristori appeared this evening in Schiilor’s great tragedy of Mary Stuart, aud sustained her part to per- fection, Her audience was larger than on tie opening evening, more attentive; more appreciative and co enthusiastic. Tho tragedy of the evening seemed better fitted to her peoullar type of genius than Medoa—the play of the opening night—can be said to be. Mary Stuart displayed those talents of Ris: torl which no other play draws out, and commands tho intense interest and sympathy of the audience, The ap- plause was exceedingly frequent, and had in it the gean- ine ming. It expressed the opinion of Boston that the great tragedionne fully sustained the high character which the critics everywhere she bas been have given hor asthe head of the art of tragedy, as the reicning queen. Ristori does not appear again vatit Thursday eveuing. AMUSEMENTS. Opera Comique—Thenire Frauncnis. We must congratulate the management of the French Opern on the decided improvement in the audience last night mm point of numbers, It was really encouraging to the artists and all who wish the success of this excellent form of opera to see at least the parquet completely filed, and quite a respectable show im the §=«two tiers, The increase in the audience seemed to inspire the artists to unwonted efforts and they gave more complete satisfaction last might than on any other night since the season com- menced, The opera was by Ambroise Thomas, one of the professors of the Conservetory ef Paris, and it is called “ Songe d'une Nuit @'Eté,” (Midsummer Night's Dream). The libretto, as regards the treatment of the weil known characters introduced ts vory absurd to the historical reader, for it places some of those charactors im positions entirely at variance with all received ideas of thew. Imagine Queen Elizabeth refuge in sa inn from the pursuit of saliors and compromising her digotty and pride by holding « nocturnal interview with Shakspere in icbmond park. And again, think of Shakspere as a uly, and a moon zor, and Falstaf as the Virgin Queen. Still, the misconception ladicrous blunders of @ very interesting the park and the nes, and the Queen, one of her , “the scoptic Sbakspeare, the tender silent Lord Latimer, the gay, fat, round, boasting Fal. waft” and a crowd of players, courtiers, keepers and fan servants the characters.

Anthelme eclipsed his former successes in his imper- wonation of the great poet. In voice and acting he left littl to be wished for, He used the fulsetto very sparingly, and in the scene with Elizabeth in the second act his voice wae richer im tone than we heard it in any previous opera.

Vert) seemed to be doubtfal ax to the correct placing of hia voice in wide intervals, and there- fore marred his otherwise good singing. The former, however, tang well and the latter acted splendidly. There are many of the brilliant, dashing choruses so pp i latic of the French school scattered through the opera. ‘They were nearly all spoiled by the mechanical, spirit Jose manner in which the chorus treated them. The bonting chorus, “Gardes dela Reine,” wax the only one that received good ovage at their hands. The ensembl-, however, was good, and showed that with proper care and attention at rehearsals this important element in opera amique may be raised to the ur standard, The orchestra was pretty fair, bot Mr. Predigarn should keep’ the brass and read —inatruments more under control. The oper was so well put on the stage in regard to scenery and costumes, a circumstance that is éometimes neglected by operatic managers, that the management deservos much credit for it, The audience seemed to be more interested in and pleased with thie work of Ambroise Thomas than on any ling wight of the season. — It will be given at the lyn Academy of Music this evening, Last for tue feet time, librettos, with Frenek and English’ words, and some of the music of the opera, wore introdaced.

A few works ago the fourteenth amendment was referred to the Legisiature, The committee appolated to consider it reported agaipat its adoption, and it was rejected in the house by @ vote of sixty Keven to five Tho proclamation of Governor Throckmorton, to whieh you refer, was im reference to the vote upon the ce ments to the State Constitution, submitted to the people by the convention of Tth February, convened by virtue of @ proclamation of Provisional Gover And the history of the submission to the pe amendinenta is rather interesting Tho constitution of the State of Taxa wax amended bo o« to abotish slavery, but this amendinont was not sub- mitted to a voto of the people. In “ Paschal’s Digost of the Lawk of Texas,’ #0 bandscmely noticed in your paper of the 28th, the amendment is found —paye 04%. t reade ARTICLE K—FitexpMen-—SROrtON 1 African slavery, na it heretofore existed, having been terminated within (is bate by (he goverment of the United States, by force of arn belng probibited by the am United Rtates, It in dects Lary nervitude, except ana ( tment for er ina whereat the party shall have been duiy co Viole), wball exist in this State: and Africans and tielr de- Jants shuli be protected in their rights of person and by appr legialation; they shall have the right Aue and be sued to hold, and transmit property, and al) ortminu! pr ‘Againet them #ball be conducted tn the joi « Harilton, of thowe mm prosecutions for Ike offences against Use white and they shall be subject to like pennlth fr cans and thelr dercendants shall not be pro. of thelr color or ramos, from tesufying whinesses In any case, civil oF eriwinal, Involving Of, injury Wo, oF erime against any of them, in per rty, under the Kame rules of evidence that may «16 the white race; the credibility of tow 'y lv be determined by the court of jury bearing the same; and the Legislature aball have power to authortae Uhem ‘to witnesses in all other onves. regnlatic may be proscribed, ua to facts curring. This article was substituted for the article about “slaves” in the oid constitution, and the fact that 1t waa withheld from a vote of the people caused the conven: on to be sharply eriticized. It was charged upon them ‘that they were acting in bad faith to the government that they intended that this “abolition articio” should not be binding upon the people. But I rather inciine to the opinion that the convention knew thet if the people 6 been bor, at $4 per day, would bi Ucle was made final by the convention, as well other ordinances which {t was well known would have rejected. In “Pasabal’s Digest,” pag. 949, ‘we tind how they did it, Ordinance No. [X sabryitting 4 portion of the action of the convention to the peopin im an follows :— AM ORDINANCE DEFINING THE CONSTINUTION OF LiKe #TATE OF 7m ae a subet'tule for foros on Jaunary a, debt vot, and for uiber purposes the constitution declaring the ordi : the Btatex direct (9x) the brdl- ee, axanming the U tamer. on the snbject of secession, 2 All other omendments that bo mate by this the first wens their by them. shall be and not otherwise The Lecoptanen uF rejection: 4: part of maid constitution, ow these last two tines read very amoothly. ant at ‘rat glance would a) to mean that the people ald vote upon the ratification of the four ordinances in rection one, But these four ordinances were made Onal by the convention, aud were included ip “the whole constitution." They were already organic law. Thoy wore not * proj "by the convention, but were adopted Of tho constitution, and not eubjeet to rejection by the people, The only amendments “‘pro- powed"’ were those “all other amendments.’ You have shown how nearly they came to being rejected by the le. Itwaa the result of this vote which Governor rock morton'# announced. I fear that your deciaration that whe poople of Texas are prepared lo act im good faith towards the government and in their acceptance of the consequences of their re: beilion, cannot be borne out by the facts. From all the evidence that I can gather from Texay, the rebellious portion of the people are ax contumarious asever. And so long ax believe thet they have a powerful leader ip the lent, just so long will they Toman vbetinate aud rebellious, | think, however, that the victories of the Union party this fall will have @ tendency to cause een the mort unreasonable of the rebels io pause and retiect.
