Havana, June 21, 1863, The lates! advicesreceived he rom Port au Prince | @iate that a desperate battle had just been fought between the forces of President Saluave and the rebels. The latter are reported to have been de- feated. Previous to this engagement @ schooner had ar- rived at Jacmel from Curacgoa. Sie landed one thou- sand rifes anda large supply of ammunition and war material—all intended for the rebeis, The forces of General Pétion Faubert had joined those of Gen- eral Nissage Saget. This body, together with the Caco contingent, had laid siege to Fort Alexandre, ‘the last stronghold of President Salnave, who had concentrated all Lis forces in Port au Prince, and thus left the rebels unobstructed in the massing of their troops. A proposition had been made to General Sa'nave to resign the dictatorship, which he had assume, and retaia the Presidency, but it was not enter- ‘tained, ‘The assassin of General Leon Montas, victim of a ‘Cape Hayticn dungeon, was killed in a recent battle. Ex President Cabral, of St. Domingo, with his fol- beta | had joined the revolutionists at Jacmel, in Hayti, in revenge for the assistance given by Salnave to General Baez. ST. DOMINGO. Fears of Baez that Cabral will Invade St. Domingo from HaytimArrests, Banishments and Tyranny Unabated. Havana, June 21, 1868. ‘The current report is that the successes of the Haytien revels give President Baez great uneasiness, and he fears that they will succeed in overthrowing his friend and supporter, Salnave, after which, under the lead of ex-rresident Cabral, who is fighting for the Haytien rebels, an army may invade St. Domingo and drive Sainave’s pr&ge out of there. In conse- quence of these fears government was acting in the most despotic manner, and the arrests and banish- ments continued. i DANISH ANTILLES. SOE SS Precautionary Measures of Government Against Another Slave Riot, HAVANA, June 21, 1968. Farther advices from St, Thomas state that the Danish authorities of St. John Island have appealed to the most arbitrary measures and proceedings against the slaves who revolted recently on that isiaud. The offenders are to be secured by all means and punished, and all such disturbances in favure are to be most vigilantly guarded against, The judi- clary second these measures. GREECE. Oretan Exiles and the American Consulate. Trieste, June 21, 1868. ‘Tie last advices from Athens report that the ‘ Oretan representatives and exiles now in that city offered an address to the United States Consul. On.the occasion of presenting it the Cretans and the citizens of Athens assembied in large numbers before the office of the American Legation and made an enthgstastic demonstration of gratitude for the friendship and sympathy of the American people. ABYSSINIA. Napier’s Army in March for England=The First Detachment Landed. Queen's HOTEL, LON June 21, 1868. ‘The first detachment of the Queen's troops lately serving in Abyssinia under Major General Sir Robert Napier, and which formed the advance on the return march from Magdala, arrived at Plymouth to-day by steam troopship from Egypt. ‘The last detachment of the victorious army, which lit up the rear, reached Alexandria, Egypt, also foutay. ENGLAND. ‘The Peers in Opposition to the Church Bill.

Monster Picnic at Wrights Grove, Chicago ‘The Concert of the Concordia Society—Close of the Festival To-Day. Curcaco, June 21, 1868, The singers spent Sunday at Wright's Grove, about three miles from the city, where a monster picnic was organized for them. Over forty thousand people were present. It was intended at first to start for the picnic grounds at eight A. M., but the unnatural coldness of the weather compelled a post- ponement ti! noon. Five bands were in attendance, and speeches were made by Generals Willich, of Cincinnati, and Davis, of Chicago. Several choruses were also sung by the New York Societies, who are the veritable lions of the Saengerfest, There were nearly one thousand carriages at the grove during the picnic, At the reception given by the Chicago Concordia last night the singing of Mr. Bartholemy and Misses Schaeffer, Somner and Heinrich, Mrs. Huck and Messrs. Bischoff and Nilson, al! belonging to the Con- cordia, was worthy of Steinway Hall and thé New York concerts. Wenzel Kopta made another grand success by his violin playing at the German reception. To-morrow the festival will definitely close with another picnic and a dinner given to the Concordia at the Sherman House by the New York Leiderkranz. In a Mnancial point of view the Saengerfest of Chicago has been a failure, for there is a deficit of several thousand dollars, This ts partly owing to the narrow minded economy of the Central Committee in giving up Crosby’s Opera House for a pecuniary consideration and taking such a place as the Rink. The different societies will start for their homes to-morrow night. HUNGARY. Pri Napoleen’s Visit. Pesta, June 21, 1863, Prince Napoleon, who arrived here from Vienna last week, after a brief stay left for Constantinople. It is believed that a visit to the Sultan is the main object of his present tour. MASSACHUSETTS. Fatal Runover Accident—Fire in Woonsocket. Worcester, June 21, 1368, The night freight train on the Boston and Albany Railroad ran over an unknown man near Warren, about two o’clock this morning, cutting his body completely in twain. He was seen last evening in the vicinity in an intoxicated condition. A fire was discovered in the large brick storage and dryhouse owned by Messrs. Ward & Harris, in Woonsocket, about noon to-day. The fire originated in some wool waste and was confined to the first and second stories. A large stock of goods in cases were slightly damaged; also considerable cloth on the dryers. The third and fourth stories were injured by water. There 1s the following insurance on the g00ds:—$5,000 in the Home, New Haven, and $5,000 in the Merchants’, Providence, which will probably cover the loss. There was no insurance on the building. THE FENIANS. State Convention of Vermont Fenlans= Speeches Made and a Little Cash Raised. BURLINGTON, June 21, 1863, The Fenian State Convention meeting at this city last evening was quite well attended, Stirring speeches were made by General O’Nell and Captain Rafferty. Some money was raised, but no campaign plans were divulged. CUBA. Sugar Market—Exchange Quotations—Depart- ure of the Steamer Eagle. Havana, June 20, 1863, In sugar the market is quiet; No. 12 Dutch standard is quoted at 7% a 8 reals, Flour ts selling at $l2a $i4.

FRANKFORT BouRSE.—FRaNgkForT, June 21.—The market for American securities has becn firm to-day. United states dive-twenties, for the issue of 1862, closed at T7%. THE WEATHER. The Heated Term—Fatal Cases of Suusiroke— Mad Dog on the Rampage, Although before the summer is over we shall doubtless have to endure much warmer weather than we were favored with during the past week, the probabilities are that the exhausting effects of excessive heat will at no time be so severely felt ag on the firat’ two or three days of the heated term. After a winter of such unusual severity, ninety in the shade is a degree or two above comfort, and the corresponding range in the sun is something over- powering. But ninety in the shade will be nothing when we get used to it; and just so soon as we be- come so far inured, the rays of the life-giving lumi- nary will cease to operate with such disastrous effect as on Saturday last—the first really hot day of the season—when the following cases of coup de soleil occurred in this city and its vicinity, happily only Se wa Te Mary Goren carpenter, who resided rnard Teigier, , at No, 287 Broome street, died. from the effects of sunstroke at Mount Sinal Hospital.

Yesterday the rays of the sun were somewhat tem- pered by the clouds which gathered from time to time, and no additions were made to the above list of weather casualties, Occasional showers cooled the air daring the afternoon, and towards evening a steady rain set in, Sunstrokes can be prevented by taking proper precautions, such as keeping the head well but lightly covered and avoiding unnecessary exposure. Even those whose duties compel them to be continually exposed to the sun’s rays can avert the deadiy stroke by wearing a cabbage leaf inside the hat or by bathing the head from time to time with cool water. To those who are addicted to the immoderate use of ardent liquors sunstrokes are generally attended with fatal, or at any rate very Serious results. Coup de soleil, aggravated by whis- key, will undermine the strongest constitution.

MONTREAL, Jane 20, 1868, The heat since last Sunday has been intense, the thermometer ranging from 94 to 100 degrees in the shade. There were two fatal cases of sunstroke | here yesterday, and there have been over thrity | minor cases. Dara OF AN OLD ABOLITIONIST.—The Cincinnati Gazette says that Peter M. Garner, one of the earlier anti-slavery men of Ohio, died at Columbus, a day or two ago, in his fifty-ninth year. He was born in Lancaster county, Pa., December 4, 1809, Hie came to Onto early’ in life.

Ww.

It is understood that Chief Justice Chase, in con- gress Lad estublished the precedent tu its own case and by the passage of the clerks’ twenty per cent versation with several distinguishea gentlemen, ex- pressed himself in favor of the withdrawal of the Ane bill for the year previous. The decisive ma- jority by which it was carried was appar- troops from the South at the earliest moment, and | ently conclusive that there would be no ‘was very earnest in the expression of hia opinion | eort to reconsider, assurances had been that this should be done before the elections, in | siven that it would pass the Senate, it was known that the President would not withhold his autograph, and with so good a foundation for faith and hope the taborers im the government vine- yards would not have taken ninety-nine cents on the dollar fer their prospects. But Mr. Bingham suc- ceeded in having the bill recalled from the Senate, Mr. Bingham carried his point to reconsider and Mr. Bingham rejoices most of all in the knowledge that “twenty per cent is dead,” The killing is a political measure, and in that light it, will bear @ brief review, Mr. Bingham became convinced that the sacrifice was needful as a party expedient. He had heard the testimony of Mr. Greeley against an increase of pay and in favor of farming for clerks in government employ and sala- ried men generally, and the idea advanced by Mr. Brooks, that the clerks might properly vacate in favor of others who would work cheaper. Then there came & pressure from a portion of the Impeachment Managers, which took an economical turn. The people were already greatly overtaxed, and the radical Congress would be brought to a severe account for an outlay giving re- Hef to the government people. It would injure the party, argued Mr. Bingham, and it must be killed as @ party expedient. Butler it vehemently, and on purely litical grounds. It would be voting a million of dollars for the ald and comfort of “rebels and traitors,” and it would add to the burdens of the suffering but patient masses. Liberal minded Congressmen were confronted with arguments such as these, and they were speedily and almost unconsciously restrained from acting in accordance with their consciences and judgments. They did not wait to reflect that hundreds of govern- ment folks have to get round on cork legs, with one arm, and with bodies maimed—that thousands of them could not buy a quarter interest in a two acre farm, ifthe market value of such plantations was $50 each, and that such a financial and physical con- Gition is decidedly unfavorable to engaging in the agricultural line, ag well as to the theory of Butier the bold. Under the spur and pressure of the mo- ment they ylelded, and twenty per cent, as Prince Joun Van Buren used to say, “died a-bornin’,”’ But the premature demise of the clerks’ bantling is not the end of it, It nas lefta ghost that promises to play ubiquitous pranks and to get the bewer of its executioners, “if it takes allsummer.” It objects to being done for on the ground of party ne- cessity, and in this it has the sympathy of the radi- cal portion of the sixty negative voters, and that of Speaker Colfax, who distrusts the sagacity of prac- vane economy on the government empioy’s and mal them the first example; and this li(tie mat- ter, trifling as it appears in the report of Con- gressional proceedings, may raise quite a respect- able political breeze. It is but just to say that the clerks in the various departments here compare favorably as to ability and Tepe ny in the proportion of numbers with any other body of men, not excepting the Senate and House of Representatives. As to pay, the edi- tors, correspondents, reporters and other employes of the press are better remunerated by an average of fifty per cent. As to their political status, nine out of ten of them are radicals, in sYmpathy with Congress and opposed to President Johnson; but they have hitherto been judiciously cautious and reserved. The natural tendency of denying them an increase of compensation will be to produce a gradual but itive political revolution in the «de- partinents. ey are conscious that the House was urged to pass the twenty per cent bil! upon the ground that it was to benefit a very large proportion of men who sympathized with the majority of Con- gress. In order to defeat the measure they have been stigmatized as rebels, recommended to turn their at- tention to agricultural pursuits and to vacate in favor of men who would be glad to take their places a¢cheaper rates. They argue, too, that General Grant at first recommended additional compensation for clerks in civil employ; that he subsequentiy with- drew his recommendation, while he still favored in- creasing the Pay of the army thirty-three and one- third percent. They aiso recall the fact that Con- es3 nearly doubied its own pay, upon the ground that the expense of living at the capital had been doubled since the war; a consideration which, they claim, should have equal weight in thetr case. They are also becoming so captious that they venture to eriticise the lavish expenditures of Congress in its duplicated effort to impeach the President, its cap- ture and detention of Wooley and its untold outlay for registering the negro vote and supporting the Freedmen’s Bureau, At this writing the clerks are excited. They feel that they have been trifled with, traduced and fallen below the statureof the “man and brother” African in the estimation of the cha- grined and nonplussed Butiers and Binghama, They are seven thousand strong, are ihese government peas. They represent.a numerons constituency or State inthe Union. Many of them corre- Paap for their local papers, and would undertake to jud competent Congressmen who would serve for $2,000 a year. Before this Congress adjourns the chances are that petitions will pour tn from their constituents praying the members to reduce their salaries from $5,000 to $2,500 a year. Mr. Bingham will cost his party-more than he will gave the coun- try by his economy for party sake, and neither the country nor his party will appreciate the service. The democrats, nearly all of them, voted for the bill. ‘The chances are even for and against the election of Generai Graut. If elected he wil! not favor libe- ral pay, and he may lose. Here ts a chance for the clerks (0 play a lite game of political coquetry— ‘Was ever woman in stich humor wooed? Was ever woman in such humor won! — and they wil! doit without regard to sex or previous politica! condition, The Cabinet troubles are culminating. The long promised reorganization, it is affirmed, is to com- mence by Mr. McCulloch’s leading the way. He is not the only one whose resignation would be accept- ble. Itis not improbable that the Secretary of the Interior witl be the next to vacate. So far as the President’s political prospects are con- cerned, none of the heads of the departments have availed to his practica! benefit excep! one, who has been actively and consiste faithful to tue in- terests of the administration. With this exception all the power of patronage and influence have falied to produce any advantage. Inciuding the vacancy to be created by the resig- nation of Secretary McCulioch there are several im- portant offices to fill; but it is possible there will be no appointments until after the New York Conven- tion, The President, never expeditious in filing va- cancies, may conclude that these places will do to order that the people might have an opportunity to give expression to their opinions through the ballot box, unawed bythe presence of the military. He also announced his opposition to the “iron-clad” oath, so called on account of its strictly partisan nature. He thought the oath which has always answered the purposes of the government, that is to support the constitution and the law, was sufficient both in Congress and out. Movements of the Chinese Embassy. The Chinese Embassy, consisting of his Excellency Hon. Mr. Burlingame and wife, associates, secre- tarles and interpreters, spent last evening with General Grant at his residence, where they spent several hours. Among the guests present were General Schofield, Secretary of War, and lady; the Ministers of England, France, Russia, Prussia, Greece and Mexico; the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Minister to England; Speaker Colfax, General Emory, command- ing the Department of Washington; General Rucker and lady, Mr. G. W. Dent, General Dent, General Babcock, General Parker, Genera! Comstock, General Porter, Colonel Leet and Major Webster, of General Grant's staf, together with a number of ladies, Mrs, and Miss Grant entertained the distinguished visitors, and at nine o’clock the Embassy took their departure, evidently delighted with their reception, The Chinese Embaasy left the residence of General Grant at about nine o’clock and immediately pro- ceeded to the residence of Chief Justice Chase, cor- ner of Sixth and E streets, where they were enter- tained by the Chief Justice and his daughters. There were present of the Embassy his Excellency Hon. Mr. Burlingame and lady, Chih Tajen and Sun Tajen, Messrs. Brown and Deschamps, Secretaries of the Legation, and Messrs. Fung and Teh, the two students who speax English; foreign Ministers, and several members of Congress, including Speaker Colfax. The judiciary, Cabinet, army and navy were also represented. At about eleven o'clock the dis- tinguished company retired. The New Bill Regulating the Whiskey, To- bacco and Bank Taxes. The bill reported by the Ways and Means Commit- tee is ent.tled “An act to change and more effectual- ly secure the collection of the internal taxes on dis- tilled spirits, tobacco and the tax on banks.” The tax is reduced to sixty cents per gallon on distiliea spirits, and the following are the proposed rates on tobacco and snuff which shall be manufactured and sold or removed for consumption or use:—On snuif manufactured from tobacco or any substitute for to- bacco, ground, dry, damp, pickled, scented or other- wise, of all descriptions, when prepared for use, a tax of thirty-two cents per pound; and snuff flour, when sold or removed for use or consumption, shall be taxed as snuil, and shall be put up in packages and stamped in the same manner as snuff; on all chewing to- bacco, fine cut, plug or twist, on all smoking to- bacco not made exclusively of stems, on all tobacco twisted by hand or redaced from the leaf into a con- dition to be consumed, or otherwise prepared with- out the use of any machine or instrument and with- out being pressed or sweetened, and on ail other kinds of manufactured tobacco not herein other- wise provided for, a tax of thirty-two cents per pound; on all fine cut shorts, the refuse of fine cut chewing tobacco which can be passed through a riddle of sixteen meshes tothe square inch, and on all refuse scraps and sweepings of tobacco a tax of sixteen cents per pound. The tax on cigars is to continue the same as at present. The dill provides that there shall be pald a tax of one-twelfth of one per cent each month upon the average amount of the deposits of money subject to payment by check or draft, or re- presented by certificates of deposits or otherwise, whether payable on demand on some future day with any person, bank, association, company or corporation engaged in the business of banking, and a tax of one-twenty-fourth of one per cent each month upon the capital of any bank, associa- tion, company or corporation, and on the capital employed by any person in the business of banking beyond the average amount invested in United States bonds, and @ tax of one-sixth of one per cent each month upon the average amount of circulation issued by any bank, association, corpora- tion, company or person, including as circulation all certified checks and all notes and other obligations calculated or intended to circulate or to be used as money, but not including that in the vault of the bank or redeemed and on deposit for said bank and also three per cent on government de- posits, The bill contains substantially all the machinery contained in the former bill for the collection of the tax and to guard against frauds. Call tor a Meeting of the Radical Soldiers and Sailors’ Executive Committee. It appears from a circular just issued that all the members of the Soldiers and Sailors’ National Re- publican Executive Committee who can possibly do 80 are requested to meet at the Astor House, New York, on Saturday, June 27, at eleven o'clock. The purpose of this meeting is to select the sub-committee and State Central Committee determined upon at the Chicago Convention, and generally to devise a plan for the most effective organization Of the soldiers keep for future emergencies. and sailors for the Presidential gampaign. ‘There are no ‘changes indicated herein the political The Radicals in Wai Funds, situation, except in the augmented interest shown by the friends of the rival candidates for the Presi- dency.

In the Convention his friends wiil be ad- esive to the last. The friends of Mr. Chase, it is believed, wi!l go into the Convention strong as to numbers and confldent aa to the fitness and expediency of his nomination. They regard luis liberal views upon the suifrage ques- tion only a3 those of an individual, and if in the light he has enunciated them they are held by any to be jectionable, the antidote is found. in his declarauion ‘of the right of the States to regulate their own fran- chise and noring the interference of Congress. His policy would favor the resumption of specie pay- ments at the earliest possible period, the speediest adjustment of the public debt consistent with the in- terest of the masses, upon whom the burden of its payment falls, and the relief, so far a3 practicable, of the industry of the country irom taxation, Supplying any deficiency that might ensue by an lacreased taxa- tion of the wealth of the nation. Reasons In favor of the expediency of his nomina- tion are accumulating daily, and are particulary noticeable from this standpoint. The radical or- anization is becoming more and more demoralized, he most vehement and earnest of its leaders fail to exhibit the least enthusiasm for the Chicago nowi- pees. Gel | Grant, Who, under the cli cumstaaces, should be at least cheerful and compiaisant, is more reserved and reticent than ever. Whether journeyin or at home he avoids intercourse with friends anc strangers, and repela rather than encourages social advances. Colfax acts under Constant restraint. Butler and Bingham are arbitrary and exacting, and there seems to be @ consolilation of the influence of the new converts to radicalism to make the majority subservient to them and to dictate in all matters of oiitical policy. Under their lead the seven Senators Rave been read out and they have turned the cold shoulder to the seven thousand government employes, Thaddeus Stevens is too feebie to rally his forces, and without him as a leader they are powerless to resist the encroachments of the faction that is working the severance of the party. The nomination of Pendieton, or one equally objectionable, would unquestionably insure adhesion, wheres the nomination of suage Chase would not oniy ¢ tract thé fragmented element, but penetrate the ganizaston and deprive it of its eMcieacy as a con ated power, e alournment of Congress Is most anxiously desirea by the radical members, but the tine when it will take piace is one of the most uncertaia of future events, There ig no harmony of sentiment or concert of action.

Return of tary Seward: Secretary Seward has feturhéd from Aubura. The Hoe Patent Extension. It is understood that the Hoe patent extension will come up for serious consideration during the coming week. Colonel Hoe was here several days last week and had a hearing before the House Committee on Patents, and made an impression favorable to his application. It is believed that the House Committee will report in favor of extension and that it will be endorsed by the House. Bill to Appropriate Money for the Construc- tion of a New Railroad. Mr. Marvin, republican, of New York, has prepared, and will introduce into the House on Monday, a bill providing that for the purpose of atding in the con- struction of a railroad for military and postal pur- poses through the wilderness of Northern New York, and connecting the military defences of the Northern frontier from the city of Schenectady to the St. Law- rence river, that there be granted to the New York and the Northern Railroad Company—a corporation formed and organized uuder the laws of the State of New York—bonds of the United States of thirty years’ duration, payable, principal and interest, in any lawfal money of the United Statos, tothe amount of $15,000 for each mile of road so constructed, such bonda to be delivered to that company on certain conditions.

The gew operette by Offenbach, entitied “Lischen and Fritzchen,” will be produced upon this occasion, together with the first act of “La Grande Duchesse” and the second act of “La Belle Helene,” in all of which Tostée will sustain the prin- cipal characters. With the farewell of Tostée the first season of opéra douge in America comes to an end, and Manager Bateman can congratulate himself upon having inaugurated a new era in American theatricals which has proved successful beyond precedent, Ristori likewise claima a share of the pubiic favor at her farewell benefit om Thursday evening at the French theatre, when she will appear for the last time before an American audience; for Ristori, like Tostée, leaves for Europe on Saturday next. It is to be regretted that the farewell benefit of both favorites occurs on the same night, inasmuch as they might be said to play to the same audiences, and as the public would like to show their appre- ciation of both artists by turning out im force on such occasions; but as both bid farewell to New Yorkers and America on the same night the patron- age and the honors of our citizens will have to be di- vided as evenly as possible between them, the only dimiculty being which to choose between. Mme. Ade- lalde Rustori’s career in America, under the manage- ment of Mr. Grau, has-been a magnificent teinntph and will doubtiess be regarded by her as one of the happiest and proudest episodes ip her professional life. Her last appearance upon the boards ai the French theatre will be her three hundred and eighty- eighth representation Fae during a period of seven- teen months between the United States and Havana, ‘To-morrow evening Mme. Ristori will appear as. Medea at the French theatre for the benetit of the American Dramatic Fand Association. Aside from the great tragedy and the unequalled tragédienne who assumes the title role, the object of the enter- tis in itself worthy of the patronage of the o, and will unquestionably attract a full house, sides the entire tragedy of *Medea,” the third act of “Marte Stuart’? will be given upon the same even- ing. with Mme, Ristori interpreting ail the char- acters. At the Broadway theatre “A Flash of Lightning” is running a3 smoothly as a ‘streak of greased light- ning” couid be supposed to glide, @ play is im- roving as it grows Older, and abot in startling local scenes, situations and incidents of every day life, which alone are suficient to insure for it a long and a brilliant ran. Miss Kitty Blanchard and Miss Blanche v, the heroines of the piece, are migitiy growing in the estimation of the public, and have already succeeded in establishing tiemselves as fa- vorites with metropolitan theatre goers, ‘The drama possesses all the requisite ingredients of a local sen- sational play, from ragged street urchins. to design- ing villains; and the representation of the burning of a Hudson river steamer is but one of the many scenes that cause the audience to hold their breath, “The Lottery of Life,” at Wallack’s, is still draw- ing good houses. Mr. Brougham claims that this play is a photograph of New York, and he is certainly not far astray. If the portrayal of every-day life con- stitutes a drama of the sensational order then “The Lottery of Life’ deserves to be classified near the head of that modern school. The interesting story of the piece is beautifully worked up, and the amus- ing complications and surprises so nicely contrived tuat the audience never weary of the acting or tau to become deeply interested in the fortunes and ad- ventures of the dramatis persone. “liumpty Dumpty,” as reconstracted, is mecting with Immense success at the Olympic. Mauy im- provements and alterations have been made in the pantomime and many new tricks have been added to the already plethoric stock where it was thought impossibie to add another single interesting 1eature. As yachting and explosions are now the order of the day “Humpty Dumpty” indulges in both pastimes at one and the same time, and 1s sent fying turough the air in the most approved manner. ‘The new cancan by Mile. Sangaii and “Humpty Dumpty Fox” is not only amusing an lively, but delicate and pleasing. “The White Fawn" is now on Its last legs at Niblo’s, and will soon be withdrawn altogether to make room for other attractive novelties, The ballet will trip the “light fantastic” through canvas grot- toes and groves for a few nights longer, and will then hie away to cooler retreats among genuine suburban hills and shades. But a few nights more, and New Yorkers must hunger in vain after Solilke’s Hunga- rian polka. Coloneless Invernezzi, with her invinci- bies, will disappear, perhaps to join Generaless Eliza Lynch and the otuer Paraguayan awazons of Presi- dent Lopez. The Worrell sisters, at the New York theatre, are creating qui’e a furore in their English adaptation of the “Grand Duchess.” The burtesque follows the original very closely in translation, and has been laced upon the stage in @ very creditable manner. e three sisters sustain the principal rdles, and are nightly the recipients of Moral offerings and vocifer- ous applause. The costumes were evidently gotten up without consulting the cost, aud are the most at. tractive features in the piece. Miss Jennie Worrell as “ Prince Paul” is exceedingly clever aud does the character full justice. ‘The Kowery theatre offers its patrons this week an entire change of programms. Mile. Marietta Ravel will go through all the contortioos of the twisting and wriggling ‘French Spy,’ to the iim- meuse delight, no doubt, of an appreciative audt- ence, and Mons. Jeon Genelll will follow with his daring feats of “Zampiilaerostation.” A ‘champion pedesirian” will do some tall walking, and tragedy and comedy wilt fill up the interstices. Surely these attractions ougtit to satisfy the “gorda.” Manager Eddy, at the New Stadt theatre, an- nounces his last week, but still keeps up his wonted flow of noveities. This evening the unadulterated version of “Monte Cristo” will be given with Raddy himself in six diffeveat characters, “The Lost Son” follows a8 an aiterpiece with an excellent cast, and should of itseif crowd the house. Mr. Eddy has had much to contend against during brief season at the Stadt, but should not permit himself to become discouraged, for he has unquestionably shown pluck and ability in his management, which deserved bet- ter success. ‘This ia the last week of the season at Tony Pastor's Opera House and a prodigious array of talent, and pays, aud songs, and sketches are paraded upon the farewell bills. A new Ethiopian sketch entitied ‘A Streak of Lightning,” a graceful baliet, “All of a Twist,” and “Blinks and Jinks” are only a few of the many attractions offered at this establishment, besides the “comic drama written to snit the tunes,” entitled “Fistiana,” in which the cnuire company will hy rot? ‘The Theaire Comique rejoices in the possession of @ “serio-comic vocalist,’’ whose performances are exceedingly pleasing. Performing cats, dogs and mice still enact the terrible tragedy of the “Execu- tion of the Deserter” and the screaming buriesque of “Under the Lamppost’ concludes the evening's entertainment. Harry Sanderson, the American pianist, who has but recently returned from Europe, will give his first summer concert at Irving Hall this evening. He will be ably assisted by eminent artists and should have a full house. ‘At the Park theatre, Brooklyn, Mra. F. B. Conway will be tendered @ benefit this evening. A good biit is offered, and the favorite bendficiatre will doubtiess be ted with @ house. “The ae ora Night” is the piay selected for this evening, with Mr. and Mrs. Conway in the principal roles. Central Park Garden concerts, under the direction of Theodore Thomas, are meeting with the encourage- ment they so justly merit. They are now a decided institution, and the matinées of Saturday and Sun- day are particularly well attended. ‘hie rrace Garden concerts, under Carl Berg- mann’s management, are daily growing tn popu- larity. The programmes are always carefully selected and very attractive, and never fail to draw large audiences, Kelly & Leon’s Minstrels are still coquetting with “La Boll—L—N,” which has proved a tramp card in their hands, Wednesday next is announced as the last night of the season. Bryant’s Mivstreis will appear in their new sensa- tion ‘of “A Flask of Jersey Lightning’ for the first time this evening. The burlesque introduces a great boat race between the “Hooty-Do” and « Ba- gam,” which is oaly terminated by a terrific botler explosion, which kills alt hands and sends the qudi- ence home. ‘The San Francigco Minstrels have nominated their “presidential Candidates,” and are doing ‘‘Medea”’ in their usual tender style. “Healthy Shadows’ winds up their entertainment by playing ‘‘panto- mime” upon @ White curtain. Hooley’s Opera House, Brooklyn, has no less than three diiferent buriesques upon the bili#—uamely, “Aladdin,” “Camille” and “Paddy Miles’ Boy’—ia ail of which Miss Fanny Davenport appeara to the intense delight of large audiences. = POLICE INTELLIGENCE, ASSAULTING AN OFFICER.—Oficet Long, of me Sixth precinct police, made @ compiatnt against David Walsh for assault and battery. He alleges that the accused caught him by the neck and threw him into the street, Justice Hogan required the accused to give ball to answer before the Court of Sessions.

NEW JERSEY. Newark.
