TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. The Chineso Rebels Besieging Tien-Tsin. BOSNIA IN REBELLION AGAINST TURKEY. Execution of the Fenian Barrett in London. CHINA. ~—_—— The City of Tientsin Besieged by Rebels Pekin in Danger—Plunder of Villages by the Insurgente=Forelgn War Vessels Protecting Property and Treaty Rights, QUEENS HOTEL, LONDON, May 26, 1868, ‘Télegrams: from China, dated in the commercial city of Tientsin, in the province of Chi-li, and port of Pekin on the ist of May, and transmitted to this city by way of Kiachtka on the China-Siberian frontier, report that the Southern insurgents, grow- ing bold from the result of their campaign against Shanse, were besieging the city of Tientsin during five days. The leader threatened to assault the town and attempt to carry it by storm, and thus place the imperial capital, Pekin, from which Tientsin is dis- tant seventy miles southeast, at the mercy of his followers, by giving them control of the point of confluence of the Yueun-ling and Pekin, or Peiho, rivers. / The rebel forces move from their position to the agricultural districts, and had already plundered the villages lying,around Tientsin. The city is defended by a garrison numbering twenty thousand men. Three steam gunboats were laid in the river off Tientsin charged with the duty of protecting for- eigners and foreign interests, This duty will be performed in a vigorous manner, as in Tientsin was signed the famous treaty with the Chinese government which accorded to the foreign Ministers a right of residence in Pekin, besides many commercial advantages, none of which can the governments of Europe and the United States permit to be impaired or destroyed by rebellion or native dissension. The force besieging Tientsin is said to be made up partly of rebels from Shantung who, in the early part of the year, marched from the eastward near the borders of the Yellow Sea and Gulf of Chi-li and formed a junction with the Mohammedan in- vaders advancing on Kangsuh and Shensi after the’death of Soo-Wang, a leader who was kiiled in battle by the imperialists. The imperial General Li had almost extinguished the movement when he vanquished the Nienfl some time since; but the Tientsin markets “have been lately considerably disturbed by the operations of the Mohammedan conspirators, and as a religious sentiment ts involved in their agitation they appear to have collected a very large force, ‘The insurgents for the most part carry their wives and children with them and were reported as num- bering at certain points, all told, one hundred and twenty thousand souls a few months since.

Now, [am prepared to admit that Messrs, Fessen- den and Trumbull were actuated by the highest and. the most honorable motives.

I believe this as T believe that the thirty-five voting “guilty” were honorable, honest men. But in political life a blunder is worse than a crime, and Messrs.

THEATRE FRANCAIS~Mante Ayrorswrre.—There | is nothing in history which fasctnates the reader or | hearer on the stage like this history of the last of the Bourbons. Here we have an unrivallea company, with an unrivaligd star in the foreground, forming a historical pict of extraordinary interest. The French Revolution bas always had magnetic fasct- nation for an American audience; more than any- thing that ever dramatist could otherwise devise, First there is a queen, who ls a wife, a@ mother, a | sovereign and a victim, such as never before existed; and then there ig a perfect kaleidoscope of hu- man character in the surroundings. The success of Madame Ristort may be, to @ at extent, attributed to her own genius; but it mast be admit- ted that the magnificent company which supports her has agreat deal to do with {t. Take, for instance, last night, Mile, Luigia Glech, who, if we do not greatly mistake, will be our future ‘Ristori (for no | Actress on the American at cam compare with her), and her little ten year old sister, Graziosa, who moved every one to tears in her impersonation of | the Dauphin. And we might mention a score of others. We cannot find such another company in Gny other theatre in this city. The career of the beautiful queen of Louis XVI. isa ‘tragedy such as never history has shown before or since. Madame Ristori 1s" an admirable actress, and from her first appearance here, twenty ' months ago, until the present time, no one can gainsay her won- derful genius on the wait: But as the unhappy queen of France she exhibits more talent than ever We gave credit to an actress, As an instance we may relate an anecdote. At a matinée last season We Were standing near a ‘wing” on the stage while “Marie Antoinette” was being played. During the | scene in the Conciergerie, in which the martyr queen within a few feet of us. Hardened and obtuse as we were to all stage impressions, we could not avoid an invoiuntary start as the face of the tragédienne, convulsed’ with emotion and streaming with | tears, met our view. A friend standing beside us justly remarked, “If that is mere act- | ing, then I do not know what natural feeling means,’ If ever human agony was expressed | in the human countenance it was then, “Marie An- toinette”’ is truly the greatest aud best played drama | ever placed on the American s| » and must be al- ways viewed with interest and emotion. To-day a matinee of “Sor Teresa’’ will be given at this theatre, in the evening the benefit of Mile. Alix Farnat im French comedy, and on Friday the second represen- tation of “Marie Antoinette” is promised. When such a remarkable actor as Bozzo represents the un- fortunate Louis XVI., supported by such a company, “Marie Antoinette” can never lose its hold on the af- fections of the public. An Sxclang domestic drama, in which love, majesty, polousy, fear and devotion enter, with a background of sans culoties, the guillo- tine, murder and the unbridled passions of an infuri- ated mob, cannot fail to be an irresistible appeal to the heart as weil as the judgment of all theatre goers in this great metropolis, BROADWAY THEATRE.—The popular “Barney” and the charming ¢nd versatile Mrs. “Barney” Williams are drawing crowded houses at their neat bijou of a theatre, and theappreciation in which these artists are held by the amusement loving portion of our community is fully testified to in the hearty and vo- ciferous rounds of applause that greets them nightly in their several réles. “All Hallow Eve—a spark- ling Irish drama, by Stirling Coyne—and the laughable comedictta of “The Latest from New York” are now upon the bills, and. need no other recommendation than to say that Mr. and Mrs. Williams appear in both pieces and are ably sustained by the entire strength of tue competent company at this establishment. The drama is superbly mounted and capitally acted and abounds in witticisms and local hits, which never fail to draw from the most stoical of the audience the heartiest kind of recognition in the way of ap- plause. Lust evening it was one continual feast of mirth and laughter m the commencement to the termination of the play, and itis certainly no dis- paragement to either Mr. or Mrs. Williams to say that neither of them ever before shone to better ad- vantage. All their time honored glory and viva- ciousness apperenly had returned to them, and as for Mrs. jams she almost surpassed herself in every scene, and might be sald to be anew and improved edition of her former able self. The piece will be retained upon the boards until Friday even- ing next, when it will be withdrawn to make way for other attractions that will be presented upon that evening for the benefit of Mrs. it 5 ACADEMY OF Music.—The third annual springtide singing festival of the Orpheon free choral schools ‘They demanded a reduction of the army to what it was tn 1860; that the useless monitors should be sold for old tron; that the hundred thousand thieves called officeholders should be dismissed, and the appropriations cut Gown to a reasonable expendl- ture. We have replied that Andrew Johnson, who came in through sssassimation, has nized assassina- tion at tie South, and an army of at least fifty thou- nd men is necessary to keep the peace, Messrs, ssenden and Trumbull have yoted not guilty, aud let Andrew go acquit. The people have expected that in our hands re- construction at the South would progress with reasonable speed, and that unhappy region restored to a state of quiet and prosperity. ‘The expectation might not be reasonable, for the blind bigotry that harried us into a bloody war has developad in hate that, with stupid fury, casts aside all social and legal restraint. But we answer that our wise acts of legislation have been rendered null and void by an Executive that plants itself squarely in opposition to the law-making power. Now, Messrs. nden and Trumbull vote “not guilty,” and the accused goes acquit, ° We awaken to the unpleasant fact that not Andrew Johnson, but the repubiican party, has been on trial and the sentence is @ sentence of death, rendered by our own Senators, who have grown fat, rieh and great through our organization, To have such a trial, with such a result (and Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull knew it as well at the beginning as they did at the end), is a great blunder—a biunder worse than acrime, It may be that the disgust felt by the country at large for the democratic peace party may cail into existence a new organization; but the republican party 1s dead, and We may as well gracefully admit the fact and accept the situation, 1 notice that certain journals, such as the Evening Post, Nation and Chicago Tribune, are disgusted with the manner tn which the — and peopie treat the seven Senators, ‘Were they not under oath? were they not jurors?” cry the virtuous journalist, “It isshamefal.” Well, yes, they were under oath, and in some sort of way they were jurors; but they were under several oaths, and bound by some two or three of them, when they decided the constitution- ality of the Tenure of Ofice law, and that Stanton could not be dismissed by John- son. I have no wish to argue the merits of the case, but cannot heip laughing at the ae eae 80 solemnly elaborated, to excuse a stupid blunder, Fessenden and Trumbati pronounced upon the Cay of Johnson when they decided pee his conduct in the case of Stanton, and the addition of two or three oaths could not change the fact.

The programme was highly at- tractive and was altogether very creditably gone through. Miss Gertrude Frankan and Miss Louise Livingston and others: rendered valuable assistance, the former receiving a hearty encore in the render. ing of Arditi’s favorite “L’Estagi"? waltz. Several splendid overtures were performed and the festival was brought toa close by Handel's im- mortal “Hallelujah,” which was given in a mahner that evoked unanimous applause.
