accepted either by the House of Commons or by the nation at large as a satistactory settlement of the question, It isa much more significant circumstance that the debate on the second reading has been deierred till afier the discus- sion of the budget. It is desirable that the financial arrangements for the year be made if possible by the government now in power. It is well, therefore, that Mr, Disraeli be allowed a fair opportunity to get over this preliminary difficulty before the real tug of war on the reform questiun is commenced. So far as the bill is before us, and so far as we understand the attitude of parties in relation to it, we are little hopeful of its succdss, M. Thiers’ Speech, The speech of M. Thiers on the foreign rela- tions of France in the Corps Legislatif is characterized by the usual ability and more than the usual insincerity of that slippery statesman. His impeachment of the Emperor’s course in regard to Italy and Germany reads * curiously when we recollect how startled both ‘France and England were by his ambitious projects in 1840. When it suits bim he is the advocate of progress; but when progress is ‘contrary to his personal interests there is no greater reactionist. His finely rounded phrases on the.advantages of the political equilibrium induce.a smile, They do very well to serve an oratorical purpose, but they carry no convic. tion with them. The doctrine of the balance @ power received its deathblow when Louis Napoleon seized upon tbe French throne. His success in getting that act of usyrpation con- firmed almost unanimously by the people gave him tull latitude to carry out the policy in regard to the treaties of 1815, which he had enunciated in his previous writings. That he should allow the doctrine which ‘had brought such shame upon the foreign policy of France under Louis Philippe to stand in his way was not to be expected. His course has accordingly been marked by an cutter disregard of it, and if in some instances he has failed to carry out his own policy his failures have not contributed so much to the fnjury and humiliation of France as the ‘blunders committed under the system so much lauded by M. Thiers. It must never be for- gotten in considering this question that the they of the political equilibrium has been mat to subserye the interests and safely guard the existence of the worst despotisms that have ‘cursed Europe. So long as its prescriptions were strictly observed it became impossible for the smaller nationalities to emancipate themselves from the thraldom of the larger ones, The “agglomeration of nationalities” which M. Thiers so much deprecates would 20 doubt give increased strength to govern- ments; but it will compel them to rely mere upon popular support than they have hitherto done. This may seem para- dozical, but it is not the jess true. France herself.is a partial example, and Germany, under its new organization, will more fally Mlustrate the force of the remark. In both the systems which have replaced the old tashioned despotisms have already given to the masses a large share of political power and will them- selves give place in time to more popular forms of government. It is therefore fortunate that the policy of Buropean rulers tends to the consolidation of the national rather than of the personal and dynastic interests which have hitherto influenced them. The argument is utterly untenable that because a nationality Decomes strong in all its parts it becomes ‘more liable to be enslaved. The speaker who advances such a theory must be held either to be ignorant of the facts of history or to wil- fully misinterpret them. As M. Thiers cannot be suspected to fail within the first of these categories it may fairly be inferred that he was influenced more by personal then by patriotic considerations in the speech in which it is advanced. ™ sek ahd wee 63 he WA. HACKETT AND WIS PROPOSED REW THEATRE. In connection with the proposal of Mf. James H. Hackett, the famous representative of Palstaff, to build a new theatre up town, & sketch of his theatrical expe- riences ia this country for the past forty years possesses much interest. During that lengthy period be has been ‘more or less connected with the New York stag, mnt yet his character is not perhaps familiarly known or vivitly remembered by many of our readers. Mr. Hackett is a native of the city of New York; wan’ - originally a prominent young merchant in Front street, Dut became unfortunate in 1825. He adopted the stage {nm 1826 and.soon paid all bis mercantile debts out of his professional earnings, He leased and managed the first Chatham street theatre the season of 1829, but finding it net profitable sold his jease to 8 Mr. Blanchard, who converted it into.a circus. The first Bowery theatro was leased by Mr. Hackett in 1830, and in 1831 he disposed of his lease to the late Mr, Hamblin. Yn 1836 Mr. Hackett ‘and the late Orondates Mauran together purchased at quotion the first Italian opera house in New York, which ‘stood at the corner of ‘Charch and Leonard streets, Mr. ‘Hackett managed It for a season of drama and English opera, then leased it tothe late James W. Wallack, and goon after-sold his half-ownership in the property to Benjamin Aymar, merchant, of South street, ia this city. In 1847 the Howard Athenmum, Boston, was built for and leased to Mr, Hackett, who imported the famous Viennolse children. He made avery profitable season here and sold bis interest in the theatre to a Boston gen- tleman. ‘In 1852 Mr. Hackett, white passing the winter in Paris, was invited by Mr. William Nibloto return, take ao in- terest in and'ditect the amusements of his theatre here for the next season, He engaged in London and sent over a high comedy Indy, Miss Fitzpatrick ; also several popular dancers from Paris, Soto, Pougaud and a few others, In 1853 Mr. Hackett contracted in Europe with Madame Griai and Signor Mario for sixty-seven performances of ‘Italian opera at New York and Boston. The former Academy of Music was eonsequently projected, but not completed till the 24 of October, 1854, when, being fleased to Mr. Hackett for its first nine weeks, he opened with Norma. After the completion of Mr, Hackett’s contract, March, 1855, and the return of Grisi and Mario to Europe, and bis disbanding of the artists, among whom were Susini and others, whom he had brought out to support them, Mr. Hackett ceased to be an impresario, and indeed hes appeared only rarely and irreguiarly as an actor. From his tong experience ‘and circumstances, be ought to be competent to get up a first clase institution for presenting the higher orders of tho classical and intellectual drama, and to his own prodt and the satisfaction of our community.

To place its cloudy, snowy, bleak and windy days among the days of spring must be a mistake—at apy rate if the vernal season is what the poets fain would have us believe, Thompson's oft sung “Ethereal Mildness” certainly is iv a state of blissful ignorance; so far as March is conceriiod it knows just as much of mildness as mildneas knows of March, The fact is March is a sort of arab, in which the clammy, slimy, cold caterpitiar of winter passes the transition state pre- ‘vious to ite advent in the new garb of the sunny, bright and dazzling buttertly of summer. March is a sort of forerunner, clothed, to be sure, in rough and coarse garments, but still a sure harbinger of the days of sum- mer suns, cloudless skies and gentle zephyrs. Hence it is that in the yachting world the present month is one of active preparation for'and anticipation of the pleasures of the coming season. Seated around the pleasant blazing fire of the Club House, the lovers of the pleasant sport of yachting talk over their plans and prospects of the coming months, and before their eyes float pleasant visions of snowy canvas unfurled to the tavoring breeze, or moonlight nights upon their well loved crafts dancing over the mimic wave with every thread and stick reflected as in a mirror upon the sur- face of their favorite element. Im prospect of these coming pleasures many a lover of sports aquatic has his yacht carefully overhauled, making any alterations which the experience of the previous season may have suggested, and having any improved appliances. or tackle carefully added for the purpose of increasing either the speed or comfort of his much prized vessel. In this month, too many of the clubs hold their prepara- tory ‘meetings and make their arrangements for the Programme of the year, fixing the dates as far as practi- cable for regattas, matches or cruises. It is somewhat early yet for some of the yacht clubs of this city and neighborhood, but still with some ar- rangement for the summer have beca to a eonsiderable extent completed. The ensuing season bids fair to be a very successtul one with our clubs. Many of them have more yachts upon their list than in previous years, and generally a state of prosperity characiexizos them of a more than usually encouraging natura THR UNION cLB of New York isthe only one which is an exception to this pleasing state of things. This club was founded on the 7th of January, 1864, and incorporated by act of the Legislature on the 14th of March, 1865, Its inaugu ration Was made under the imvst @attering auspices, but ft bas nevor fulfilled the wishes and expectations of its originators, The number of yachts which have been enrolled on its list has been very small, not at any time reaching beyond the number of six oreight. At the present time this club has upon its list but four or five vessel, and there is no reason to expect that the coming season will seo any addition to this number. Thinking that the establishment of the Union Yacht Ciob bas proved somewhat of a failure, inasmuch as it has Rot realized the expectations of its*promoters, 1 is Bow under the consideration of its members whether or Bot it would be advisable to merge in some other similar organization, and there ts little doubt that ere long the few yachts now belonging to it will be scattered among tho various yacht clubs of the neighborhood.

Maximilian ig at the head of 8,000 mixed troops in Querétaro, Among them are 600 French and Belgians. Escobedo has 14,000 men. Yesterday he was within twelve miles of Querétaro, with a compact line. There is no hope whatever for the imperial forces, and Maximilian bas put himself ima trap; bis head is not safe, Within fourteen days the empire will be no more; for ite armies dare not risk @ battle, and a retreat to Moxico city will bo worse for them than defeat; as Escobedo and Corona would be at their rear, while Mendez and Tragosa, who occupy the road from Queré- taro to Mexico with 5,000 guerillas, wili cut the imperial army all to pieces, It is thought that Maximilian will try to make terms with Juarez; but it is doubtful if the liberal govern- ment, with everything in their own hands, will listen to anything but an unconditional surrender. 1 do not think that there will be another battle of any importance. Escobedo will starve out the imperial army, which is already living on what’ they seize from private sources in the city. Sax Lois Poros, March 5 1867, Ihave good reason to believe that the government has received a communication from Maximilian, or the general commanding the imperial torces, offering to sur- render. The answer has beon that they cannot treat with traitors, who have the double crime of rebellion against the government and the bringing of foreign in- tervention to their aid.
