THE ROGERS MURDER. Conclusion of the Inquest—The Murder Com- mitted by Parties Unknown to the Jury— Tho Prisoners Still Held. 7 The inquest tm this case was concluaed yesterday morning. There was quite a large crowd present during the proceedings, On the assembling of the Jury Assistant District Attorney Hutchings rose and said:— Gentlemen of the Jury—I have presented all the evidence in regard to the murder of Mr, Rogers which has been furnished by the police. The primary object of a coroner's inquest is to determine the cause of death. It is also the Province of the jury to decide whether the evi- dence which has been presented to them is sufficient to point to any of the parties in custody as probably guilty, or whdther it 8 80 inconclusive as to lead to the Deliot that the murder was committed by un- known parties, Whatever may be the verdict of the jury the investigation in this case will be continued yy the District Attorney and the police authorities. Mr. Howe—I rise merely to protest that my client, james Logan No. 2, as he fs called by the news- papers, although not accused of in the murder, has been it for some time conclusively that my client was in Greene street the time the murder was committed. The witnesses glluded to are inmates of No. 171 Greene street, who State that Logan was with them as late as a quarter to eight/o’clock on the morning of December 31, and that one of them went to @ drug store with him at that hour to see what time it was, Mr. Townsend—I also have a few words to say concerning my client, against whom no testi! whatever has been brought; whose name, indeed, has not even been mentioned carne ee ‘inquest. He has been incarcerated now for thi days, and for humanity's sake 1 woald cail the attention of the Coroner to the fact that there are two witnesses present who are ready to give such testimony as will peed the jury that he had nothing to do with the murder. ‘rhe Coroner remarked that the evidence offered by the counsel was not at all necessary; that the ob- ject of the jury wag only to ascertain the cause of the death of Mr. rs. He then addressed the jury, saying that they had a very important question to decide, and he hoped they would render a verdict which would be “satisfactory to the Coroner and the jury.” <All the testimony in the case was then read to the Jury by the official reporter, when they retired for deliberation. After an absence of about haif an hour they returned and delivered the following verdict in writing:— vervicr. We, the members of the Coroner’s jury empanelled to investigate the cause of death of Charles M. Rogers, of No. 42 East Twelfth street, city of New York, who died on the 2d day of January, do, on the evidence produced before us, render the followmg verdict:—Thet said Charies M. Rogers came to lis death from a@ stab wound in the abdomen received at the hands or some porte or parties to the jur unknown, whiie sweep’ ng his tront yard at his resl- dence, No, 42 East Tweilth street, im the city of New York, at about a quarter before seven A. M. of Thurs- ber 31, 1368, of which said wound said Rogers died on the morning of Saturday, 6. The jury, in rendering this verdict to the public, cannot leaye the case without remark- ing that they are led to the conclusion above stéted for th@ reason that the testimony, as produced be- fore thei, is certainly insuficient to indicate with any degree of certainty the perpetrator of this hor- rible crime, although tne uty are satisfied thal in a part of the evidence produced there is deliberate erjury. vf e counsel for the two Logans then moyed an immediate discharge of theirclients, but the Coroner refused, stating ihat he would hand them over to the aes, Attorney, for whatever aisposition le saw te ‘The prisoners, who were followed from the City Hall to the Court House by an Immense crow’, were then taken before the District Attoruey, who prdered them to be kep: in custody untu further orders. Another Tom Found—His Arrest Yes Emphatic Declaration that the Real derer is in Oustody—More Mystery and Police Speculations—The Conclusion of the Inquest. The unfortunate wights of the Fifteenth precinct who delight to write « spévial detective” after their names and who have never failed to sound the deepest mystery that has been sprung upoa them, to their own satisfaction, if not the puplic’s, whether it be a murder or the robbery of a hen roost, have again pleased themselves, For overa month they have allowed the car thieves respite and given their undivided attention to the Rogers murder case. Every poor fellow named “tom,” who answered the description given by the hungry little darky, who draws seven dollars per week for identifying everybody brought before him 4s the murderer, has been ted, locked up in the warm rooms of the Mercer street bastile, where their counsel are re- fused access to them, and a system of espwnage fol- lowed with a view of securing some mysterious word or sentence to use against them ina court of law. When Logan was arrested these sagacious clair- voyants, who profess to read a man’s thougits by the pupil of his eye, proclaimed with a fleurish of? rhetoric worthy of a Tombs lawyer that they had got the man. When the facts showed that they knew n0 more about the real culprit than the Tycoon of Japan, they set their wits to work to secure another subject for self-auda- tion, And thus one after another has been gatiered into the cells only to be acquitted of ail suspicbu by que jury that yesterday rendered a verdict. Smarting under the mortification of defeat ani the exposure of the barefaced reports published at their instigation, the ward detectives have for a season kept very quiet, and officers who profess no detettive knowledge have taken the matter in hand vith a view of obtaining some tangible >lue upon which to act. In their investigatons and searches they have unfortunately been umer the necesaity of working in conjunction with his class of know-nothings, who trom the first hive botched the job, and are, therefore, more or less their mercy, Unable to unearth the murderer selves, they were loth to permit “common” oilll to carry oif the credit of accomplishing what thy failed in, and consequently they have renewed thdr old tactics of fabrication and mystification. “They have got the real murderer of Mr. Rogers it last,” remarked a high police oficial to a geutiemaa with whom he was conversing yesteraay. “Who ts he?!’ waa the query propounded. “7 cannot tell you; it isa profound secret; bat he was arrésted this morning.” “By wném ?" “andyou Lowery, of the Fifteenth precinct.” y— ou think there is no failure this time ?" he siightest doubt. The evidence against him is conclusive, and Rogera’ mut ris in cas tody. You may depena upon that.’ A few minutes later mquiries were made at the Fifteenth precinct station house on the subject. “And go your officers have made another arrest in the Kogers ¢: a] “No, they have not.

AMUSEMENTS.- THEATRE FRANCAIS—FLEUR DE T118.-~A crowded house, a clear night and public expectation wonnd up to the highest point greeted the first production of Charles Lecocq s opera at the Francais last night. ‘The curtain did not rise until nearly nine o'clock, owing to the sudden indisposition of Mme. Rose Bell (how is it that those French prime donne are so lable to be suddenly indisposed?), and the fact that Mile, Desclauzas, who took her place at a few hours! notice, could not have her costume ready at the regular opening hour. But long as the delay was she audience were amply compensated in the opera, both as regards the manner in which it was placed on the stage, and the music, in the choruses and theorchestration. We can safely state that no opera has been produced in this city for many years in such acomplete manner in the way of mise en scene and costumes as “Fieur de Thé.” The three acts of the opera present models of scenic art, es- beciaily the last, a magnificent Chinese kiosk, which isa spectacle in itself. As we said before in our musical review, “Fleur de Thé” stands musi- cally the first of all the works in opréa voufe as producea in this city. The music is infinitely better than anything ever writ- ten by Offenbach, and there is more character in it than the music of Hervé. Yet nothing can be sim- pler or more unpretending than the number of tnis opera. There is not the slightest attempt at com- piex or elaborate orchestration, but the music sparkles from first to last. The finale of the second act 1s @ charming chorus, something in the style of an oid Moorish dance. It is a minor theme and contrasts pleasingly with the ing “Ronde du Cliquot’ which closes the opera. Both of those choruses will become the most popular of anything so far heard in opera vou? in New York, The Chinese march also, in the first act, which savors of Meyerbeer in caricature form, and the ensemble wich follows the discovery of Fleur de Thé tn the chamber of she French cook, a reminiscence of “Eruant,” are also striking choral features in this work. KR 9 the leading roles much praise is due to Messrs, Beckers and Petit for thetr irresistible droliery in the characters of the Chinese Mandarin and the Captain of the Tigers. Their ‘make up’ was ludicrous in the extreme, and the liger captain looked the “mildest mannered Villain that e’er cut throat.” They made a decided hit in both Celestial +d/es, Mile. Desciauzas Sang and acted charmingiy,and in the vivandi¢re’s song and the romance in the second act she wus entirely satisfactory. Mme. Rizarelli's voice 1s rather thin and weak, and there was @ want of esprit and’ life about her ren- dering of the réte of Fleur de Thé which piaced that character undeservediv in the background. Carrier appeared to better advantage io the character of Pinsonnet chan any we have seen him in before, and he seemed to have got rid of much of his usual sluggisnness. He sang the couplets, “J’al couru grossir ia foule,”’ a presto movement, very well, ‘bat completely spoiled the beautiful romance, “Ocsarine & mes yvaux docile,” by his unfortunate havit of hurrying over every measure without any thought of ex- pression or accent. Carrier has a very good tenor voice, with a spontaneity of tone in it which always commends it, but he must try and get rid of nasal intonation and nervous haste in lis singing, For a first periormance the entire opera went oi remarkably well, A long, tedious ballet was intro- duced in the second act which needs curtailment, especially the libs of one of the premééres, which rival those of Neise Seymour. The sailor’s ballet in the first act is well enough, but the other ts de trop. We would also hint to the management to put a stop to the disagreeabie system of smoking in that portion of the establishment immediately adjoining the en- trance to the parquet. Each time the doors are opened a cloud of smoke passes into the pi it. Judging from the success oi last night's perforin- ance “Fieur de The’ is booked for @ long and suc- cessful run, and Mr. Grau may congratulate nimself on having discovered a Qtting successor to “Gene- vieve.”” WALLACK’S THEATRE—SHAKSPERIAN FESTIVAL.— Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more: jen were deceivers ever ; One foot in sea aad one on shot f To one thing coustant never. : How beautiful that was! but we shall come to tt presently, The town is not absolutely given up to model artists, female acrobats, nigger minstrelsy done in French andunderground railroads. Shakspeare ts looking up again. That sparkling diamond of a comeay, “Much Ado About Nothing,” at Wallack’s last night was “a palpable hit.” Twenty dollars, for instance, for two seats in the rear of the parquet, offered and declined, will serve asa sign. But the gathering of the mountaineers was such as toshow that “the hard-fisted democracy” have a taste for something with a more delicate bouquet than London gin or Jersey ligntning. Their enthu- siasm over this Shaksperian festival was positively refreshing. The treat was to them @ new sensation, and they enjoyed it keenly. Never, we dare say, even in London, was this play 80 magnificently put upon the stage as it was in this house last night. The costumes were truly elegant; those of Beatrice and Hero were of queenly magnifi- cence, dazzling and superb—the special admiration of every lady in the house. Benedict, too, was gotten up «8 the Prince Royal of Bachelors, with the wealth of he Indies to back him. But the scenery was the crowning excellence of this beautiful reproduc- tion, from first to last. The opening view from the terrace of the Governor's jace of the bay and city of Messina is a carat ‘ture. ‘yhe ballroom in the is Hue; but the palace garden, with its ovet dowing treds, its wreath of roses, its marble ornaments, with tts vines, rich im thelr clusters of real Isabelia grapes, and its plashing fountain of living water, was a perfect poetry illustrated; and with the si party ia bi Baa me od aes, peg words:— the iilusion Was complete.

One troupe of the very highest order of merit had left it and had carried all their attractions to another centre... A new troupe claimed the attention of the audience and asked tts approba- tion. The new band comprised such persons as Mr. and Mrs. Florence, old and tried favorites. Be- sides other well known New York favorites it in- cluded also the name of Miss Rose Massey, a fresh importation from the London stage. The piece chosen for the purpose of r@vealing the merits of the new performers was entitled “The Field of the Cloth of Gold.” The celebrated meeting of Henry the Eighth of England and Francis the First of France was a sufliciently convenient peg on which to hang the- fantasies of an evening. We cannot say we discovered in the piece any special excellence. It allowed Mile, Morlacchi ane her newly selected saltatorial troupe to show what they could do. That they did weil, especiaily Mile. Morlacchi, we must adinit, ahaa we claim the right to say that in some important particulars there is room for improvement. The attempt to conceal legs last night was not agreeable to the audience, and was far from comfortable to the performers. If we are to have legs, let us haye them. Clumsy concealments are annoyances all round. Morlacchi is certainly one of the finest danseuses we have seen on thg American stage. Mr. and Mrs. Florence, as they al- ways do, Played their parts well. Miss Rose Massey is tall, ndsome, @legant, skiifal and full of spirit, She adds to her other attractions that of a blonde, and the bionde is now the rage. But Miss ‘Massey wants voice, and all her other attractions do not compensate for the absence of this d re- buisite. Voice, after all, is more than legs in a first class rformer, Still we must it that sey % in some respects a rival to Miss Lydia Thompson. We ought not to forget Mass Rose Cook and Miss Lithe Eldridge, both of whom played their parts remarkably weil. The whole thing was perliaps a little too absurd and wanting in liveliness, ie dialogue admits of very extensive improvement. On the whole, we must admit that if we have seen better we have seen worse first nights. New YORK THEATRE—THE PLEBEIAN DAUGHTER— Mx. AND Miss BUCHANAN.—Mr, McKeon Buchanan aud his daughter, Miss Virginia Buchanan, performed last night at this theatre in what is called on the bill a new and original romantic drama named “The Plebelan Daughter; or, A Father's Vengeance.” The piece is by Mr. Henry Morford. It is the old story of love between the high and low in rank and the evil consequences of it. Ramon, a prince, the son and heir of the Duke of Baden, falls desperately in love with Hilda, the daughter of Oden, a broken- down merchant and poor man. It was love a: first sight, and the damsel 1s as deep tn it as the prince. He seduces her, and then, urged by a sense of honor, he promises to marry her, even though he loses his titles and Weaith. His father, the reigning Duke of Baden, has made an ‘alliance for the son with a noble lady, and when he finds the prince determtned to defeat his pu and to marry the low-born maid he threatens him with dis- interitance and finally pronounces a curse on his disobedience. In the meantime Oden, the father of Hilda, discovers the love affair between his daughter and the prince and her disgrace, and threatens ven- geance upon the seducer. The prince, however, resolves to mi Hilda, and arrangeinents are made, much to joy of her father, to have the marriage formed by @ priest at some obscure chapel. Duke of len finds out what is going to take place and operates upon the priest to refuse to perform the ceremony and to forbid the mar- bm ever taking place in the name of the Church and the Duke j just as the lovers nega the altar. The father’s vengeance follows, aud this ill-sorted love and attempted misalliance ends di The drama is not remarkable for isastrously talent, and will never take the place of so many, both ancient and onigere Bt superior merit.

THEATRE Comigue.—This bijou temple of Thalia, which was consumed by fire on the night of the 4th of last December, revpened last evening under its old and popular thangement, with a good company and many new and attractive novelties. Like that fabled bird—the Phoenix—the Théatre Comique rises from its ashes purified and beautifled by reason of the fire, and gifted with a new lease of life, which with judicious management will probably hold good for many years to come.
