Throughout the crisis the Emperor's pe- culiar shrewdness was observable, He has now invited neariy all the Deputies to St, Cloud to join in ‘dinner and soirée, to come off during the present week; he has chatted playfully with many of the Deputies of al! shades of opinions, saying many Piquant things, so attractive to Frenchmen. Toone, by waom the Emperor was button-holed, he said, ‘Ah, monsieur, the buifet is near; you mean to take “hold of my coat, in cuse | might pull you back." To several others he said:—“You begin to treat me as the old lion in the fabie, in trying to cut my nails, take out my tecth, and leave me with nothing but my mane, which is considered harmless.” To a number of others he sald:—‘rhe clections have proven clearly that you must choose between the empire and revolution—between neither system in- dividuals can be set up.” To another party he thus addressed himself:—“I will give tuil satisfaction and accede to the liberal aspirations o! ail parties, but I have decided to stop @t constitutional boundaries.’’ While the Emperor’s conduct for the past few days has been cousidcred adroit, it must not be considered tohave stopped the agitauon tor further conces- sions in the way of reforms. Measage the Legisiauf. Paris, July 12, 1869, In the Corps Législatif! to-day a inessage from the Emperor Napoieon was pre-ented and read by Minister Rouler. The message states that the Km- peror has resolved to convoke the Senate to consider the following questions, viz:—The right of the Corps Législatif to elect its own oficers; the simplification of the method of presenting and examining amend- ments to projects of law; the submission to the Corps of commercial treaties for approval; the con- trol of the Budget; the abolition of any incompatt- bility which exists between holding at the same time a seat in the Corps and office im the Ministry, and the extension of the right of interpellation. Similar questions with re- spect to the Senate are hereafter to be con- sidered. Tbe Emperor believes that these measures ‘will meet all demands. In conclusion, he asks the Deputies to consider how often he has abandoned certain of his own prerogatives in the public interest for these already granted, which form an integral pars of the institutions of the empire. We ought to leave Antact those rights which have been explicitly con- fided to him by the people, and which are essential conditions of power, as the safeguard of order and society. The message announces no changes in the Ministry. The reforms which it proposes are gene- rally considercd to amount to the concession of bona Ade ministerial responsibility as an element of the executive government.

RIOT IN THE BOWERY. ‘The Battio of the Boyne Refought—Melco Between Orangemen and Catholics in the Bowery—Belfast Scoues Reproduced—A Number of Persons Wounded. Yesterday, the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne, where William, Prince of Orange, secured his signal victory, was celebrated by the Orangemen of this city and environs in the usual manner. The fraternity rendeavoused at Jersey City and celebrated the day with considerable éolat, Fearing disorderly demonstrations and confilcta by persons excited by religious and polttical animosities, the captains of some of the precincts through which tne Orange- men passed took the precautions to have details of men on hand to preserve the peace during the exit and ingress of the celebrators. A large delegation left the Tenth precinct in the morning, via the Desbrosses street ferry, for Jersey City, and @ detail of men were sent by Captain Ward to preserve order. It was understood that the Tenth ward delegation would return by the same ferry, and the Captain had his men there to meet them and accompany them back to Military Hall, No, 193 Bowery, where they have their lodge room. About eight o’clock the Tenth ward party came up Chatham street, unaccompanted by the police escort, who, owing to some misunderstanding, were still At the above-named ferry, Shortly after passing Chatham square and entermg the Bowery, and while the procession was well stretched out, with many of Prince William’s adherents straggling far in the rear, the bands ‘ing party tunes and Orange euablomh being, profusely displavea, walon ex Cited the ire of the Irish Catholics in the neighbor. hood and among the spectators, conflicts occurred between the stragglers and the excited rs of the ion.

Several were slightly cut in the ranks of the con- tending hosts, but they did not wait for police as- sistance and hurried off down the side streets to their homes, By the time the Orangemen had fallen back under a payers of stones to Grand street, Captain Ward, of the Tenth precinct, who had received intelligence ofthe riot, had a platoon of men inthe Bowery, under Sergeants Sanders and Davenport, to preserve the On arriving near the hall, No, 193 Bowery, the band struck b “The Batile of the Boyne”—a tune above all others objectionable to Irish Catholics—and the officers of the Orange party waved theirswords and emblems, This incensed the Catholics in the crowd, which by this time had Gna from all the neighboring sireets. and num- red not less than 3,000 persons, and the yelling, hooting multitude of men, women and boys made a determined attack upon the procession with stones and other missiles. A number were knocked down and severely injured, when the police drew their clubs and ied in galianty. ‘ner vigorous demonstrations had a salutary effect upon the rioters on botn sides, who scattered in every direction. Under the protecting wing of the police the Orangemen quietly filed into their hall and as juietly saliied out, one by one, and, mingling with the crowd, made their way unobserved to sale retreats. One man, John Meharg, of No. 7 Pitt street, a guest of the Orangemen, was very severely cut on the forehead, and was taken to the station nouse in Eldridge street, where his woUnds were dressed. Some fifteen or twenty others, it is rumored, re- ceived slight contusions from stones and butties, with which the rioters were armed, By nine o’clock actual hostilities between the con- tending factions had ceased, but the Bowery, from Stanton to Rivington street, was blockaded by an immense crowd of people, sympathizers of one or the outer faction. ‘The utterances of sympathy for the Orangemen or ics invariably was followed by a swaying of the multitude, unearthly yells and oe a ee for the offender and a lively pursuit ny Police.

HONORS TO THE YACHT DAUNTLESS. ‘The Triumph ot New York Labor, Capital and Pluck—Official Recognition—Salute of One Hundred Guns. ‘The news of the arrival of the yacht Dauntless at aeenstown, after the unprecedentedly short trip of twelve days, seventeen hours and six minutes from port to port, has created great surprise among all admirers of yachting. The achievement has received oMctal notice, too, the pride of New York in her sons finding in this a good excuse for manifesta- tion, since the yacnt that has beaten all precedents was built in New York and 1s officered and manned by New Yorkers. It is regarded as a triumph for the metropolis in the eyes of the world, and as such was duly honored by the Mayor, who telegraphed at once, on receiving the news, to Mr. George W. Roome, keeper of the City Hall, di- recting that a salute of 100 guns be fired in the Park im honor of the Dauntless, and also that the City Ball be decorated.

Woon's Moszum.—Dramatic affairs at this estab- lishment have this week received a new linpetes, whicn bids fair to prove attractive to the general public and remunerative to the enterprising wanage- ment. “The Wandering Jew,” who has been suc- cessfully “walking on” the boards at this house for the past two weeks, has retired in favor of the “Corsican Brothers" and “The Rag Picker of Paris,” with the first mentioned piece as the attraction in the afternoon and the tater as the dramatic feature of the evening. Both pieces are familiar to the play- goers Of this city and need no le! description at our hands; suffice it to say, Nneretore, that bosch are strongly cast and mounted in a very commendabie manner, The version of ‘The Corsican Brothers” which 16 now being performed at the Museum is the original four drama which years ago created such am immense sensation on the east side of town. Mr. Edward kiddy, the tragedian, in this piece admirably 41 ins the great dual character of Fabien and Louis Franchi, and is ably supported by Mr. T. W. Keene as Chateau Renaud. In ‘fhe Rag Picker of Paris,” Mr. Eddy does the melodramatic as Jean the Rag Picker, and he does it in such a manner as to satisty his auaitors, from whom ie wriags, despite tie hot weather, the heartiest kind of applause, In this ee Mr. Eddy is afforded ample opportunity for nd in those peculiar streaks of vigorous action which years ago urade him @ great 1avorite with certain of our citivers, He has cured himself in & measure of some of Luis. characteristic robustive- nese, and is in consequence all the more artistic and enjoyabic. He ts sein jpported in ‘The K: Picker" by Mr. Wilder as Pierre Gerousse, Mr. F. W. Keene as Henri Benville, and Mrs. D. Myron as Marte, the dressmaker. Upom the whole the per- formances now given at this establishment are of a nature calculated to satisfy the majority of the sen- ational play-goers who remain in town auring tho summer, and will probably prove a winning card for the management.

Their reception was cordial m the ex- treme, and their performance throughout was char- acterized by frequent tokens of approbation. “Caught at Last,” a comic drama‘in three acts, was the title of the piece presented, and the smooth and admirable manner in which the several parts were readered at oace elicited the most hearty en- comiums. Sumple in the extreme, yet nevertheless fuil of ludicrous incidents and comicalities, the drama Was ilustrative of man’s fickleness and the thorough determmation ot tue fair sex to Win a re- luctant spouse. As Cleopatra Homton, a miliiner, and a strong-mimled woman, Mrs, Watkins (splay: much ability aud a great deal of comprehensivencss, and fully merited the appiause bestowed upon her efforts, Her part was interspersed with several popular songs, which she rendered satisfactorily. Mr. Watkins personated &@ man about town, in the character of Frank Schemciy, with imuci ¢ and ability. Miss F. La Fond 2 her first app ance tn the role of Eugenia srowasiove. The oti characcers, sustained by Messrs. Chippendaie, Thorne and others, were creditabiy represeated. The performance was broughe to a satistactory ver- mination with a humorous sketch eniitied “iy rakes ‘swo to Quarrel,” in which dir. and Mrs. Watkins ain presented occasional incideats of domestic life in the shape of a first class domestic broil. Al- though towards the close of Cue entertainment e theatre Was Crowded, 1b Was meveriieless agreeably cool. BOWERY THEATRE.—The management of the “Old Drury” last night made an entire change in their performance and presented a bill of great merit be- fore a crowded house. Tho programme included three pieces, in two of whic Mr, Robert Pateman made his appearance for the first time beiore an east side audience. Mr. P: an, it will be remembered, made a very favorable impres- sion some time Friday, in “hob. imson — Crasoe,’’ Museum. AS @ pantomimist ‘this gentleman 1s exceedingly clever, and last might his remarkable action and almost speaking pantomimic secured for him a re- ception unusual for warmth and furor even im the Bowery. ‘fhe performance opened with a come- dietta called “Sudden Thoughts,” in which the stock company took part. “Tae Dumb Man of Manches- ter!’ was next presented, with Mr, Pateman as ‘’om, the dumb nan. The Plece was well put upon the stage and creditapiy acted throughout, buv the feature m the performance was, of course, the pantomimic of Mr. Paveman. Mr. Pateman’s acting was uniformly good, and in some parts of the drama really wonderiul. His damb represen- tations were applauded to the echo, and he was twice called tumultuously before the curtaiz. Tne formance closed wit the :arce ‘The Spitaificids eaver,” in which Mr. Pateman essayed the role of Simmons. In this character the geatleman proved that he excelicd noc only in pantomime, but as a comedian. ‘The bill presented last night at the Bowery was in every sense au enjoyable one and cannot fail to se- cure crowded houses. Mr. Freligh’s enterprise de- serves appreciation and endorsement. A new ven- tilating apparatus has been d im the root of the theatre, which makes the auditorium comfortaply cool. Masical and Theatrical Notes. The peformance for the benefit of the Cuban patriots, which is announced to come off. at the Academy of Music on next Tuesday evening, promises to be a most enjoyable and varied enter- tainment. The affair has been gotten up under the auspices of the Cuban Junta, and nearly two thou- sand tickets have already been disposed of, the pro- ceeds of which will be devoted to the relief of the sick and wounded patriots in “the Ever Faliniui Isle.” Among those who have volunteered their ser- vices for the occasion are Miss Fanny Stockton and Messrs. Sanderson, Aberle, Genot, Francis and Bour- goin, and Mme. Victcria Maurice, Miles. Diana Baretta, Mme. Lumley and Seiorita Filomeno, The Park theatre, Brooklyn, opens for ashort sum- mer season on Monday evening next, under the management of Mr. John F. Sherry. The new sea- son, Which will be inaugurated under the most flattering auspices, promises to be @ prosperous o1e in every particular and the attractions will doubt- less be such as to justify the stotcal Brooklynires to extend to the new management their unqualified support. The opening piece will be “Fanchon,” with Miss Ada Webb as the sprightly «‘Cricket,”’ sup- brink by Mr. George H. Clarke, Mr. James Carden, ir. Mark Bates, Mr. W. A. Donnelson and Miss Henrietta Osborne. Mr. Sam Colville sails for Europe to-day by the Etna. He does not communicate the objects of his present mission further than to ascertain by per- sonal knowled the real ability of bis adopted daughter, Miss Violetta, who 1s now under the musi- cal tuition of M. Wartel, who enjoys the honor of having trained Mule. Nilsson. M. Wartel says that in Miss Violetta Colville we shail have a “Mall- bran” in three years. Europe finds amusement in 1,480 legitimate thea- tres, which are distributed as follows:—France pos- Sesses 337, Italy 298, Spatn 168, England 159, Austria 152, Germany 115, Prussia 76, Russia 34, Belgium 34, Holland 23, Switzerland Portugal 16, Poland 10, Sweden 10, Norway 8, mark 5, Schleswig 5, Greece 4, Turkey 4, Roumania 3, Servia 1. The Worrell Sisters—Sophie and Jennie—with their burlesque company, will be the attraction at Wood's Muscum during the month of August, with “Lalla Rookh” as the novelty. Their engagement Is for three weeks, at the conciusion of which the girls go to Buffalo. Brignoli has at last reached tne Canadas. He opened in Toronto last night with his Italian opera troupe, and as he vas been for a long time anxtously expected in that city it is but fair to pre- sume that his advent among the docile “Kanucks”’ will be much more acceptable and successful than was the Fenian raid. Although not exactly belonging to any particular “T. A. B. society,’ the members of the theatrical profession are nevertheless exceedingly fond of water, as the following items, we trust, will conclu- sively prove:— “YArry Palmer” is studying new sensational effects on the beach at Rye. Mr, and i alg Williams are rehearsing and at Batl eechattes Fisher ts still fishing for trout in the still waters of Long Island. Manager Stuart battles bravely with the gout and the waves at New London. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Booth disport themselves in the surf at Long Branch. ‘The Worrell Sisters plut up te their necks in the placid waters at Great Neck. “Poul Piay’” Harkins is charmed with the mur- mur of the sad sea waves near Fire Island. And the funny Dan Symons every night, after the rush 1s over at the cool Olympic, rushes into-a Rus- sian bath. SINGULAR FREAK OF LIGHTNING.—On Tuesday aftergoon last, while the storm was raging, the dwelling house occupied by Mr. John Robweder, on Fifth street, was struck by lightning tn a singular manner, the bolt having pursued a very unusual course. It a] the lightning entered the house from the ground, striking a nail that must have projected from the siding, which was ally melted, and also left traces around it as if urned with powder, then following a piece of studding up to the eaves, where tt was conducted by @ tin gutter to the ridge of the house, where it raised ee ee Yre igheatng = appeared pass thence a ng 8 and off at the int, melting the nt.

Near the place where the bolt entered was @ quantity of iron and also a window partially r of persons familiar with the perties of electricity have examined the pre! and all unite in the opinion that this is what may be termed an upward stroke, and that there is no prob- ability of the fluid striking the rod and descending. hore ate a few instances oh ae oe has performed suc! siogulgr freaking kiran) Repanleata Suku * 7 | AQUATIC. Tke Race Between Jouw Hew and Frederick Sinders—Porteit Declared in Favor of tl Latier—Oontest Betweeu Biglis and Sin- ders~Biglin the Winner. There was an unmistakable interest mamifested tm the race announced to come off yesterday betweem Blew and Sinders, evident from the immense’ com- coarse of spectators that aasembled a% the Flysiam Fields. A steamboat was chartered for she occasion, and while extensive bew were being made and the excitement incident to the event was beginning to increase, it was suddenly hinted that Blew wae not prepared to row, although the betung had been largely in by favor. Oné mak- ing inquiries it was ascertained that Blew was not at all satisfled with the shell boat assigned to hjm, and preferring w resign the contest and for- feit the $200, rather than endanger the money that had been staked upon him, had abandoned his doubtful chances of success. Unquessionably such course of proceeding may have been considered judicious on the part of Blew, and though it evt- dently gave satisfaction to his numerous backers, the spectators were apparently very: much disap> pointed, as many of them had come prepared to- witness @ well contested struggle. Under the cir- cumstances the judges declared a forfeit.in favor of Sindera; but in order to comply witit the cus- tomary regulations he was compelled te: go over the course, which was @ distance of five miles. Fuily recognizing the fact, however, that @ single oarsman, however competent, cannot indi- viduaily create much excitement, even ‘by-his very best performance, those who appeared to have charge of the arrangements instituted a match be- tween John #iglin and Stnders for a purse of fiity dollars, in order to make the necessary ‘*walover’? by the latver somewhat interesting. Alter coueid- erable delay the contestants appeared at the ‘stake- boat shortly before six o'clock, Messrs. Conover Keenan ana B, Bigiin officiating as judges aud. Mr. MoCloud as referee. At @ quarter to six o'cloek the men Went off, after an even start, Bighn keegiug next the shore and Sinders on the onside, For about fifty yards the contestants Kept together, when Biglin, ‘who, by the way, had not been in active training, shot completely ahead, with a quick and poweriul stroke, his oppouent, golny w his work with either carelessness or want ot energy. After this the betting Wasentirely in favor ol sign, something luke twenty-five to five being offered wiuit- out takers. Approaching che Weehawken docks Biglin, who haa hitherto rowed with much spirit, and had thereby advanced almost twenty lenztns ahead, suddenly relaxed his elorts, while Sinc kept at the same siow stroke as before, makin little advance. At the coal docks Sinders appearee to make a vigorous eifort, Luc in vain, for Bistin, once more strenuously applying himseil, quickly in creased the distance. The race was now bereit OL ail interest whatever, for the result was certain. Towards the Weehawkea ferry Bigin increased hig speed and turned tue stakeboat nearly tiurty lengths tn advance, Ad the saine time it was really dimicuit to ascertain whether Sinders was doing his utmost, judging trom the slow rate at which he was proceeding. On the return to the homes stakeboat Biglin took matters commaratively easy, and when with amie or so of that pome Sinders was within fifteen lengtns of him, The race Was completery barren of interest, and Biglin came in an easy winner by about seven lengths. Ib was subsequently proposed to back an oarsman named Wiliam Long agaiust Sinders for $300 a side. it very probabie that Sinders would have displayed much more exertion had he competed with biew, whose non-appearance, however wise and consider- ale on lis part, gave rise to much disappointment, COLORED CONVICT ESCAPED FROM SING SING.
