“THLEGRAPING NEWS ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. SERVIA. ‘The Assassination of Prince Michel=His Cousin Also Killed—Arrest of Two of the Assassins—Inteuse Agitation in Belgrade. Lonvon, June 11, 1868, From Belgrade, under date of an early hour this morning, come the following particulars of the tragedy attending the assassination of the reigning Prince Michel, reported by special cable telegram to the HgRALD from this city yesterday, the news of which must have consequently appeared in your columns in New York as early as it was made known to the people of England through the metropolitan ‘press here. The Belgrade telegrams of to-day report that the reigning Prince Michel, while walking leisurely through one of the public parks at about five o’clock last evening, was suddenly attacked by three as- sassins, who were armed with revolvers. | The Prince was accompanied in his ramble by his cousin and a daugiiter of the latter, together with his usual attendants, The assassins directed their fire promiscuously at the royal party. At the first shot the Prince fell and expired imme- diately. The cousin of the Prince was aise hit and died ina few minutes afterward, The Prince's daughter received a severe flesh wound, but is not dangerously injured. One or two of the royal valets were also slightly wounded, The assassins were recognized by the affrighted populace as three brothers. One of them was prompt- ly arrested while hurrying from the scene of the tra- gedy, and it is thought that the others will not be able to escape the vigorous measures taken by the authorities for their capture. The assassination has produced the most profound excitement and sorrow throughout the country. Second Report. Lonpon, June 11, 1868. The last despatches from Belgrade represent that the excitement prevailing in that city and through- out the Principality is intense and unabated. No outbreak, however, has occurred in conse- quence. Two of the assassins of Prince Michel have been arrested. It has been ascertained that it was not three brothers who fired the fatal shots, but a father and his two sons. One of the latter is still at large, but it is believed that he cannot escape. FRANCE. Napoleon and the Czar on Torpedoes. Paris, June 11, 1868, The Moniteur states that the Czar of Russia has made & proposal to the Emperor Napoleon that Rus- sia and France unite in an effort to induce all civil- ized nations to abandon the use of torpedoes and explosive projectiles in time of war. The Moniteur adds that this humane proposition meets with the approval of the Emperor, who, how- ever, thinks that it may still be necessary to employ torpedoes for defensive purposes. MEXICO.

THEATRE FRaNcais.—The opéra douse, “Orphée aux Enfers,” rather an extravaganza (and a remote one at that) than a burlesque or comic opera, still continues, Maugre adverse criticism, to attract full houses—a success principally attributable to excel- lent acting on the part of several of the company; for, in point of fact, the thread of the opera and the general ensemble of the tableaux and costumes are too remote and mythological to be interpreted as effect- ive comi¢ hits, The cast has previously been ad- verted to, a8 have the general surroundings, and need not be enumerated, It remains to remark that Mile. Lambele as Eurydice has been ex- ceeded in .; by no representative of the comic opera in America as yet. Piquante, | ful almost to a fault and endowed with a cer- | tain verve and spirit, which are rare qualities, it | cannot be denied that her voice, though jacking | power, is very sweet and flexible as well as clear and cultivated. Norcan it be denied that in the part of Eurydice little power is needed, a clear, flexible mezzo soprano answering every requirement of the role, M. Edgard, as Jupiter, is indescribably droll and effective in the scene in which he personates the fly, while Mile. Lambele is equally droll and eifective in the same scene, which is really the gem of the whole performance, For the rest, M. Goujou, as Pluto, is an excellent actor, while M. Decre, a8 Or- pheus, exhibits to advantage a very sweet tenor voice, of peculiar quality in one or two respects, though not of remarkable compass and power; exhibiting also avery fair mastery of the capabilities of the violin, There are certainly fewer popular airs in this opera than in either of the two which have pre- ceded, and fewer popular elements as well; though it must be granted that, taken as a whole, the music is singularly adapted to the spirit of the piece, not only in the fy scene, which 1s the hitof the whole opera, but everywhere else as well. The conclu- sion of the second tableau is also remarkably effective—though the same cannot be said of the conclusion of the fourth, which is too cancan-ish for any except a Parisian public—and presents Eurydice very elegantly mounted on a pedestal which is furnished by the back of the kneeling Jupiter. On the whole, the company is a good and bas several excellent actors; nor can any reason be as- igned why Lambele should be written down as the inferior of Tostee in comic fmpersonation, though there are many reasons why “Orphée aux Enfers’’ should be written down as ‘the very worst and most mediocre of all the productions of the modern Puck of music. In brief, the persia failure of Lambele, Goujou and Edgard—three excellent artists—is rather the fault of the opera than of the actors, who have effected a great deal in connection with a piece in which @ complete triumph was impossible. The vizarrerie of “Orphée aux Enfers,” excessive and remote in every respect, might fascinate a Parisian public, but can néver be popular with an American audience. BROADWAY THEATRE.—On Wednesday evening last “A Flash of Lightning,” another sensation drama in five acts and ten tableaux, by Mr. Augustin Daly, was produced for the first time in this city, at the above popular establishment. The play possesses a lively, sparkling dialogue, some good situations, a very slight plot and is. withal purer in style and smoother in construction than any of the previous productions that have emanated from tne prolific penof this author. The story of the plece could perhaps have been better and more intelligibly told if there had been less reliance placed in the scenes of the stage carpenter; but taken as a whole the play has proved itself a decided success, bears evidences of originality and is unquestionably — at least in a literary point of view—the master pro- duction of its author. The second, third and fourth acts will bear considerable pruning, and these might be cut down to the proportions of one or at least two acts without at all interfering with the plot or mar- ring the beauties of the piece. Asa playwright Mr. Daly is apparently affiicted with a penchant for “light” and “lightning.” His hero in “Leah” re- ceives his quietus from @ streak of ‘‘ightning;” his characters “Under the Gaslight” indulge in “Jersey lightning,”’ and the “light” of a railroad re- flector, and now he caps the climax by calling a long, wearisome five act drama by the misnomer of **, Flash of Lightning.” Cer ly this ought to be enought to satisfy any ordinary man; but there is no telling where genius will stop. The plot of the drama is even weaker than is usual in sensational plays, and appears the verlest shadow when strung out through five long acts. The prominent figure in the cast ts a wealthy oid Ley residi in wretched quar- ters in Greenwich street. Of his two daughters, Rose and Bessie, the former is the favorite and the latter 13 systematically ill-treated, Rose is sent toa city seminary, cultivates an acquaintance with the “first circles” and flirts with a millionaire beau (Fred Chauncey), much to the delight of the old gen- leman, who, while she is absent on a shopping tour, yurchases for her a costly gold necklace and places it on the dressing table in an attic bedroom, A violent thunderstorm occurs, in the height of which Jack Ryver, an old lover of Bessie, lately re- turned from Julesburg, where he has been acting in the capacity of railroad engineer, renews his suit and ia rejected. He hastens up stairs to the attic, just escaping detection by the lady’s father, with whom he is no favorite, and finally is supposed to have made his exit through the window. Rose, the fa- vorite daughter, 18 escorted home through the storm by her rich lover, and on her a her doting father hastens to her room find and deliver to her the gift which had at firet been in- tended as @ surprise, He returns with only the aes may case. The necklace has been stolen. having been alone in the room, suspicion falls on her. She in turn suspects her lover (Ryver) of the theft, but will not betray him. The act concludes with an effective tableau consequent on the infuriated father turning his daughter out into the storm. Three acts utterly ir- relevant to the story follow, in the course of which the audience is to @ steamboat race on the Hudson, @ panorama, a scene in the saloon, another in the engine room, the burning of the vessel, and @ low crib or “all night cellar” in the city, with Savoyard so! dances id ht, all of which smacks of the in the fifth act the dramatic story 1 sumed, Bessie returns to her father’s house and is kept a V rhnpeent while the detectives, led by Skimiey, @ would-be lover of the girl, investigate the premises where the robbery was committed. Jack Ryver, who 0) unely turns up, explains that the mysterious disappearance of the neck. was occasioned by ‘‘a fash of lightning,”’ which melted the gold and de- posited it in particles am the coals in the coal- scuttle. This exonerates Bessie, who tn her despair had attempted suicide. She is embraced by Ryver, while Rose clings to her millionaire, and the curtain descends on the usual picture of domestic happiness. The piece is well mounted and abounds in purely local soe | the burning steamboat in the fourth act being one of the most effective in the whole play. The actors last evening were well up in their and certainly made the most of them. Mr. M er as Jack Ryan did excellently well and was as sophical as ever; Jack was just a little too ie for the old plebelan, but was nevertheless good.

KELLY & Leon's MINSTRELS.—The great event of the week—and we might say of the season—at this establishment ts the roaring and enjoyable burlesque entitled “La!—Bell—L. N,” in which Mr. Edwin Kelly made his rentree before the public on Monday evening last. The reappearance of Mr. Kelly upon the boards called forth from his admirers and friends such an ovation as has rarely been bestowed eRon actors of acknowledged merit standing at the head of their profession. As absurd as it may appear for an audience to shower bouquets upon @ male disciple of Mel os or Momus, itis = ge true Ls upon Ins first aj ce On jay evening Mr. Rell was erally covered and loaded down with the floral offerings of his friends and the applause which greeted him was 80 continuous and dententng as to interrupt for atime the acting. Mr. Kelly cer- tainly ought to feel gratified by having his return before the public endorsed in such an enthusiastic and cordial manner. The new burlesque of “La Bell—L.

Mr. James Blamphin—a recent addition to the ebony troupe—las: evening gave a superb per- formance upon the harp, which called for a well deserved encore, and gave evidence that the per- former was master of the instrument. It was, in short, one of the best of this particular kind of per- formances that we have heard in a minstrel hall for many years. Benerir CONCERT TO MISS ADELAIDE PuILLIPs.— The farewell benefit concert to this talented young lady takes place this evening at the theatre of the | Union League Club, in Twenty-sixth street, and | promises to be a grand and magniticent amair, Should the weather prove there will most assuredly bea full house. Musical and Dramatic Notes. Madame la Comtesse de la Morliére, better known | to the literary world by her pseudonym of “Olympe Andouard,” has recently arrived in this country, This accomplished lady, who is earnestly commended to the favorable attention of the American public by Alexandre Dumas and other Parisian celebrities, proposes to give in New York and other principal cities of the Union readings from her own works and lectures on the great dramatic authors, Mo- liére, Corneille and Racine, and on the great poets Victor Hugo and Alfred de Musset, with declama- tions from their principal works. The good people of St. Louis attend the “Devil's Auction” every night and go into ecstacies over the cancan of De Pol’s European ballet troupe. Miss Augusta Dargon, who is playing leading parts with Edwin Adams in Buffalo, is highly spoken of | by the local papers. James D. Kelly, a nephew of Barney Williams, the comedian, has just graduated with fying colors at the Annapolis Academy. If he possesses as much ability to command a ship as his uncle has shown in managing @ theatre he will be certain to make his mark. ‘The Chicagoans are almost crazy over the acting of a Miss Emma Madern, who is an actress of the saine school as Miss Maggie Mitchell. It is clatmed by her admirers that she is sprightly, has good ideas of act- ing, appreciation of the light and shade of character, good looks, 1s young and fresh and that ghe was de- serving of hearty success on her own merits. The poor negro was always a paying SommOnty at the “Hub,” but not having had quite enough of him yet, the people of that town are now flocking in thousands to their Museum to witness the agonies and dying throes of ‘Uncle Tom.” La Grange and Brignoli are singing to large audi- ences in Toronto, Jenny Engle, formerly of Tony Pastor’s, is creating quite a sensation in New Orleans. The critics de- clare that “she sings like a veritable nightingale’ and that ‘no other artist ever before achieved such rapid and merited popularity.” She certainly must have improved wonderfully since leaving this city. One of the St. Louis critics goes into raptures over the dancing of Mile. Croce, and calls her a ‘Terpsi- race sherry cocktail.” He must have been thirsty. Madame Schelier is playing in the ‘Pearl of Savoy” bay other pieces to the neglected saints of Salt ce. THE SCHUETZENFEST. Progress of the Arrangemente—Proposed Pub- ic Exhibition of the Honorary Prizes— Change in the System of Money Premiums. From the developments made in the arrangements for the great Schuetzenfest from day to day it ts now ascertained that the value of the honorary prizes donated to the committee for the purposes of the festival has already exceeded the sum of $10,000. Among the many articles contributed are some of rare workmanship and high artistic execution. To give the genera! public some taea of the extent of the popularity with which this festival is received the committee propose to exhibit allthe many donations, with the name of the donor affixed to each, in some convenient public place in this city, beginning with next Monday. The prospects of great success have encouraged the committee increase the money remiums to nearly double the amount originally de- rmined upon, 80 that the best shot in the common ts or kebrscheiben will be entitled to $100 instead of $50, the next best to $75 instead of $45, and so on through the whole list, as published in the HERALD of last Monday. For the stichschelben one hundred and fifty money prizes have been set apart. ‘The rules as adopted provide for targets four feet in diameter, the cartoon, or bull’s eye, being ten inches on the stichscelbe, and four inches on the common ret, or kehrsacheibe, of which latter there will be fifty. No rifle is allowed to be used the calibre of which is twenty or a less number of balls to the pouna; telescopictglasses and all mechanical contrivances or supports are prohibited, but plain diopters without glasses are permitted. The two targets for the honorary prizes will be fifty inches in diameter, divided into twenty-five circles, numbered from the edge to the centre, and each shot hitting the target will count. There will be two extra tar- gets provided for the trial of breech-loaders and Other improved firearms. The programme of the amusements is varied and attractive, and the sum of $4,500 has been appro- priated for that purpose alone. The decoration of ‘the halls and the grounds has also been determined on a large scale, and $3,000 1s set apart to defray the cost. A committee, with General Franz Sigel as chairman, left this city on Wednesday evening for Washington and had an audience of the President yesterday, delivering to him a letter of invitation to attend the festival. Similar letters of invitation were also delivered Lage in the course of yesterday to Senator B. '. Wade, as presiding officer of the Senate; to Speaker Colfax, to Uhief Justice Chase, to Baron kenstein, iter of Austria; to Baron Gerolt, Minister of North Germany, and to Mr. John Hitz, Consul General of Switzerland. The Common Coun- cil of the city have agreed to furnish fireworks on the Fourth of July, the same to be exhibited from a barge in the East river, opposite Jones’ Wood. At the meeting of the General Committee last evening it was stated thatthe prize proposed b, the resolution offered in the Common Council esterday will consist of a gold badge, bear- hee the coat of arms of the city of New York, with the inscription:—“Presented by the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the city of New York to the American Sharpshooters—1863;" the being surmounted by an eagle. The intention. it was said, is to have it presented by the Mayor an @ committee of the Common Council to the executive oMicers of the association accompanied by a public demonstration. THE SAENGERFEST DELEGATES FROM GERMANY, The Arion Society gave a very handsome reception last night to the delegates who lately arrived in this city on their way to represent Germany at the Saen- gerfest at Chicago. The hall of the Arion, on the third floor of the Germania Assembly Rooms, was beautifully decorated with garlands of flowers and aa the American and North German colors pre- vatling. About half-past nine, escorted by a com- uel duet eicatodaed sigh eit uropean dele; wi wi followed, the standard cheers, song of welcome adopted by the A! “Ecce quam bonum.” Shortly after the Teutonia Maennerchor arrived, and but not least, came the Liederkranz In full force. ‘was, indeed, a pleasure to all present to observe that the spirit of envious rivairy which had tor years been at work to create a feeling of estrangement between the Liederkranz and Arion—the two most numerous and influential German singing societies of New York—is rapidly vanishing, and that in its place there is growing @ kindly tendency to fraternity and co-operation, still ‘more strengthened b that Coe vary which seeks to excel without ot - ing competitor. This was first made apparent at the Liederkranz Hall on Tuesday last, and was nt, when, under the direction of Professor Pans, the musical director of the Lieder- kranz, the chorus of all these societies, some three hundred voices, sang ‘‘Lebe Woh! du Schoner Wald” with an impressiveness and perfection seldom forenoon, at eleven o'clock, the delegates from Germany will be presented to the Mayor, at the Mayor's office in the City Hall, and in the evening, ‘Weather permitting, they will be the guests of the Liederkranz at Jones’ Wood.
