The sudden rise in the thermometer last week brought down the recetpts of the various theatres in this city to a very low gure. During the first two aights—Monday and Tuesday—the attendance was quite large, but with the intense heat of the succeed- ing nighis there came @ most decided falling off, and for the rest of the week the array of empty benches at the different histrionto piaces of public resort were mnore nunicrous than was the display of elther-beauty or fasion, After a shower comes the sunshine, and after a famine comes a feast. Should the weather this week prove more moderate and en- durable than it has heen for the past five days tt is more than probabie that the lovers of the drama, after their involuptary confinement, will turn out in goodly numbers, and that all of our theatres, for the next six nights a$ least, will be exceedingly well patronized. The programmes of last week at most of the places of amusement are announced for repe- tition, the only changes being at Wallack’s, where Mr. John E. Owens appears in two of his popular characters, ‘Solon Shingle” and Joshua Butterby, in “Tho Victims; at the Grand Opera House, where Miss Lucille Western maintains the leading charac- ter tn the “Sea of Ice; at the Bowery, where Mile. Marietta Ravel pergonates the Dumb Girl of Porttct in the Grama of “Massantello," and at the Waverley, which establishment reopens for the season this eve. ning, with rong company, as a varieties theatre. At Booth’s theatre, Mr. Joseph Jefferson this” evening enters upon the fourth week of his inimitable impersonation of the saporific “ Rip Van Winkle; but 80 far from the audience becoming affected with drowsiness by Mr. Jef- ferson's portrayal of the sleepy old hero of the Catskills, they alternate from amites to tears. and irom tears back to smiles again, through the aheer force aud power of Mr. Jefferson's clever and artistic acting, It ts only agreat actor who can thus toy with and excite and move his auditors, and conse- quently all those who fail to see Mr. Jefferson as “Rip Van Winkle" will miss a great treat. “‘Arrah na Pogue,” at Nibio's, has reached the fourth week of its success, and wili probably ve withdrawn from the boards on next Saturday eve- ning to make room for the new drama of Formosa," now being played In Londo, Mr. Dan Bryant, as the warm hearted Shaun, continues to divide the honors with Mr. Domumick Murray, who, as Michael Feeney, the informer, has undeniabiy stamped him- self as one of the beat Imsh character actors ol we present day. at WajJack’ the heavy comedy of ‘Seif,’ after occupying the stage for three weeks, retires in favor oi “‘Soion Shingie” aud “the Victims, with Mr. Jonn K. Owens sustaining the leading rdle tn both pieces, Those piays at Waliack’s wili have the advantages of good scenery and strong casts, and will unques- tionably prove trump carda for the mauagement, as they are among Mr. Oweus’ most popular speciaities, As interpreted by Mr, Owens and @ strong company bath of these | peteg ought to prove attractive enoug to crowd the house for many weeks to come. “Play,” With its excellent cast and superb scenery, ts announced for repetition at the Fifth Avenue theatre. Manager Daly having successfully Jaunched his little gilded band-box of a theatre upon she troubled waters of theatrical speculation needs but to “keep his weather eye open,” ag the satiors aay, aud to sce to tf that his pretty liutle ‘craft is proper- ly trimmed,” tn order to reap the reward which ne 80 justiy merits. He nas alread, ig ‘us a fore- taste of his intentions, and, the Bo ic being satis- fied, have sustained him haudsomely, At the Grand Opera House the spectacular drama of “The Sea of ice,’’ alter weeks o1 ph amass will be brought out tals evening with all the accessories of a good cast, beautiful ecevery, new costumes and novel mechanical effects, all of which will doubtless contribute to the success of the piece, aud enable it to enjoy a iomg and prolitame run, It is several years wince this drama was performed tn this city, ana its revival at the present day, with Miss Lucille Western in the Qua! character of Marie de Lascours and Ogurite, must prove a strong atiraction. At the Olympic the last week but one of the mirth- provoking pantomime of “Hiccory Diccory Dock" is announced, and as it will probaviy be many months before pantomime In any shape wil! again make its appearance upon Broadway, the present opportunity of wituessing and enjoying It shouid be iusproved. ‘The success which has attended the legitimate at the Theatre Comique warrants the management in repeating the programme of last week. Robert. son's beautiful three act comedy entitied ‘David Garrick,” with Mr. George Boniface tu the title role, and the charming afterpiece of “Catching a Gover nor,” with Miss Lizzte Wilmore as Katharine Klaper, are the aitractions. At the Bowery the bills for the present week have undergone an entire change. Two good pieces will be presented this evening.” Massanietia? and “Tom Cringie’s Log.” ln the drst mentioned Mile.

The drama® department of Wood's Museum will remain closed during the present week vo permit of the necessary renovation and repairs, preparatory to opening for the regular fall and winter season. The Maseum proper, lLowever, remains open to the Pubitc, and will be made doubly attractive by the addition of several new curiosities, not the least in- teresting of which will be Chang, the Chinese Glant, and his little wile, Kin-Foo, Admiral Fisk, Jr, @ diminatuive dwarf trom Naragansett, and a “nying ‘astor, a8 usual, offers his myriad cx ® very excellent and attractive ptogramme, w pautomiune, eccentrio Ethiopian sketches, ance and a ety of other inducements are bills of the Opera House for the present ‘averley theatre reopens this evening, under the management of dir.

LITERATURE. Reviews ef New Boek» Our Own Binns. A Familiar Nataral History of ‘the rds of The “United staton By Wiliam L evised edit jward D. Cope. Philsdeiphis: 1. Bs Lippinooet & Co. As the preface states, this little work does not treat the subject of ormtbelogy scientifically, the object being to simply “present in @ concise and familiar manner to the youthful reader some interesting facts relating 60 the birds of our own country.” It seems tous that this object is fully attained. The book before us is @ most instructive one. The habits and characteristics of our birds, from an eagie to & sparrow, ere described in simple though int legnaae. Numerous quotations from Audubon to the value ef the work, giving it additional rella- bility. There are not many new facts in connection with tbe subject treated; but, taken as a wh everything is instructive and full. To the youthful “Our Own Birds” js likely to prove a bountiful source of pleasure, and cannot fail to make them thoroughly acqaainted with the birds of the United States. As aacience there Js none more agreeable to study than ornithology. We therefore feel no hesitation in commenaing this book to the public. 2 ¥ jueeuy printed and bound and ts profusely tilus- Miscellaneous. We have received from Messrs. Harper & Brothers @ copy of thelr cheap reprint of Charles Reade’ “White Lies’ as also volume thirty-six of their “Ne Monthly Magazine.” The latter embraces alx num- vera and ts well bound.

Magazine Notices. ¢ Harper's Magazine tor September is an admirable number, It contains several instructive articles, ‘tnree of which are tilustrated, Tne most important of the contents comprise ‘Photographs from the High Rocktes,”” “The Eye and the Camera,’ “Bor- der Reminiscences,” “A Health Trip to Brasil,’ “Bob White," “An Author’a Memories of Authors,’? “The Progress of Literature,” and a number of bh Fd sketches. ‘Iwo novels, “A Brave Lady” and ‘ ty Enemy's Daughter” are continued. The “fditor’s Hasy Chair” ta admirable. All of the contributions in this number are well written. The Galaxy is a namber of ordinary merit, “Susan Fielding” and ‘Put Yourself in His Place” are con- tinued. ‘Vur Mineral Springs’ is a well written paper, by Professor Draper. ‘Our Criminal Popu- jation’ 1s not bad, but the subject is threadbare. A sketch of Theodore Tilton, under the title of “New York Journslists,"" is a queer mixture of praise and half adverse criticism, ‘The Unsociabieness of Society" would be a most readable articie but for that stupid stiffness of style which the writer thinks graceful, but which is anyth! else. We seldom read Mr, White’s contributions without experiencing an uncomfortable feeling of being wrap} uUpina mental stiff jacket, Why, in the name of all that is fluent and graceful, he cannos write naturally, is a question we must put, The remaining papers are inieresting. We wish now, in all good ive @ littie advice to the managers of the Galazy. agazine ia becoming a close corporation. The game names are appearing in its table of contents month atter month, to the detriment of mind, and mratter, and ideas. ‘Sameness soon pails. Sappose we have @ chal and some originality, “The Galazy Miscellany” and “Driftwood” contain the most pleasant reading of this number, excepting, of course, Charies Reaue’s novel, which promises to be @ romance with more sensations ia it than are to be found ia any other of his works. The Catholic World ts full of tuteresting artl- cles, The most noticeable papers in its contents are “A Glimpse of Ireland,” ‘Primeval Man," ‘Hon, Thomaa Donegan, Governor of New York,” “The Vonversion of Rome" and ‘The New Englander in the Moral Aspect of Romanism."’ The light litera- ture of this magazine ts not so good as it might be. The novel ‘Daybreak," for instance, {s rather dull reading. “How Matanzas Came fo be Called Matan- Zag" is a pleasant story, translated from the Spanish, We omitted mentioning another article worthy of perusal, which ts “Recent Scientific Discoveries,” from the French of Dr. Carbonelle, It is very in- structive. Onward, for September, 1s a very good magazine, General de Peyster, one of the most agreeable of writers, contributes an interesting review of the battle of Fredericksburg. ‘Chronicles of Saratoga," “A Day in she Polar Basin,” “Only a Scratch,” “Three Days at Cherbourg,” “The Asthetics of Dying and “Pokanokel” are the readable papers. “Thinga worth Thinking of’ comprise several short paragraphs on subjects of interest. The treatise on croguet is continued, and should be carefully read bj all who take pleasure in the pastime. We are gla to chronicle the fact that Onward is improving in the quality of its contents.

A Sabbath Reception---Order, De- corum and Loyalty. Official and Military Display and Visits on Board. Appearance of the Prince on Landing, HALivax, N. S,, August 22, 1869. ‘Tne anticipated arrival from England to-day of is Royal Highness Arthur William Patrick Albrecht, popularly known as Prince Arthur, the seventh child and third son of Queen Victoria, has been fully and pleasantly realixed. The steamship City of Paris, of the Inman line, bearing the royal party, reached her wharf, at the end of Lower Water street, precisely at haif-past nine o'clock to-day, having been signalied below some two hours or more previ- ously. ‘The City of Paris left Queenstown on last Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, and her trip to Halifax within alx days and eleven and @ half hours is the quickest which has ever been made between the two ports by six or seven hours, ‘The arrival of the City of Paris and the royal party had, of course, been awaited with anxious interest, and instead of the usual stiliness characteristic of a Sabbath in Halifax there was a commotion through- out the city from daybreak until the mo- ment the steamer touched her wharf, ‘There was no particular enthusiasm manifested on the occasion of the landing; for by common consent this {# reserved until the tormal reception of the Prince to-morrow afternoon, The citizens turned out generally, however, from curiosity, and when his Royal Highness appeared among them the to- kens of honor and respect tendered to him were silent and numerous, and yet in commend- able keeping with the sacredness of the day. ‘The weather was clear, cool and balmy, and every- thing seemed to conspire to render the occasion of the advent of a member of the royal family of Eng- land within the precincts of the New Dominion one of rare and peculiar pleasure. Every element of nature smiled approvingly on tne scene, and every citizen, collectively and individually, took pride in their manifestations, quiet and appropriate tokens of welcome and respect. All of tne public, with many of the private houses and bulldings in the city were profusely decorated with flags and bunting. The signal ropes of the citadel and the rigging of the naval and merchant vessels in the harbor seemed on this occasion to serve only for the display of streamers and other emblems of welcome to the royal visitor, Just before the City of Paris touched her wharf the gates were thrown open and a carriage containing Str John Young, Governor Generul of the New Do- minton, with General Doyle, Lieutenant Governor and Commander of her Majesty's forces in Canada, drove tothe extreme end of the dock. Following close in the rear was a guard of honor, consisting of two fali companies of the Seventy-eighth regi- ments of Highlanders, preceded by the full regi- mental band of sixty pleces, The battalion for the time being was stationed upon one side of tha wharf, while the Governor General, Lieutenant Governor, Captain Carpenter, of the frigate Royal alfred; Colonel Mackenzie, Colonel Ansell, Colone) Baynes, the quartermaster general; Colonel MeNelll, of Sir John Young's staff; Captain Black, Lieutenant Ponsonby and other officers of the army and navy stood at the gangplank awaiting its adjustment to the vessel, 80 that they might go on board and greet and congratulate the Prince upon his safe arrival, This work consumed but ® moment of time, and then the Governor General and offictal party trans- ferred themselves from the wharf to the deck of the City of Paris, They proceeded immediately to the stateroom of his Royal Highness, where about balf ap hour was occupied in an informal reception. During this interval the mat and baggage of the steamer were discharged. Next to the matis the principal luggage brought ashore was that of the royal party, consisting of sixty-one pieces, and tn- cluding in the lot a full stock of fishing, punting and other sporting tackle and implements, This, it should be stated, was not properly the bag- gage of the party, for that haa been forwarded to Quebec by the Medfvay, and these sixty-one pieces were wbat may be regarded as the travelling wardrobe, apart from the sporting paraphernalia referred to. When at length the mails and baggage had been brought to the wharf the concourse of people assembled were straining their visionary organs for the coming of the Prince, Not a moment's time was wastet, for almost in the wake of the last trunk his Royal Highnoss ap- peared ac the ggngway. His presence wis so com- pletely distinct from anything in the line of display that it is doubtfat tf he would have been recognized ir he had not been attended by tne Governor General and the other personages who had just gone on board to welcome him, When his eyes met the crowd he gracefully uncov- ered his head, and with a smile of pleasure and sat- isfaction made a series of bows, as much as to say, “How do you do?’ to each and every one. Tho response to all this was around of cheering from the assembled muititude, foliowed by the national anthem of “God Save the Queen” from the band of the Seventy-eighth reglinent, In company with the Governor General_ the Prince walked up the wharf and took a seat in a ba- rouche standing at the entrance to the steamer’s dock, the other seats in the vehicle being occupied by Colonel Elphinstone (the governor of nis Royal Highness), Sir John Young and Lieutenant Governor General Doyle. A second casriage followed, in which were seated the oMcers of the army and navy before mentioned, and behind them came the Highlanders as the guard of honor. The party drove imme- diately to the Government House In Barrington street where they will remain the guests of the Governor General untit to-morrow, The appearance of the Prince elicited universal admiration. He bears a striking resemblavce to the Prince of Wales when he was here, and the close likeness to her Majesty is so marked as to be distin- guished at once. He is tall and slender, with a fine ‘and faultlessly combed head of brown hair, and his fs ornamented with an English youthful face pattern of whiskers and mustache, highly creditable to the physical development of a young man of nineteen. The dress of Prince Arthur was that of aman of more mature years, although it eeemed to become him. A neat and elegant black dress coat, closely buttoned, pants of light dab hue, @ “choker” collar of eformous size and @ black silk “tie were the garments most conapiowous, and each one seemed to contribute to render Bis sppear- auce that of a very well dressed young man. ~ Late in the afternoon his Royal Highness attended special religious services at the garrison chapel, where the Rey. Mr. Edghill, the chaplain, oMciated, The fact that he (the Pr‘ace) intended to be present was not generally Kiown, and there was, conse- quently, n0t Much of @ crowd present, Ooming as he did on Sunday, the royal party could hardly expect @ display very marked for enthusiasm; but, while there was an absence of pomp aud splendor, the kind feeling of the provin- cials towards her Majesty was very plainly shown, and at the public reception 1o-morrow it will be gen- erally uncorked and given full aud unrestricted flow. The passengers on board the steamer City of Paris speak in the highest terms of the free and unassuming manner of young Arthur during the Voyage. There was nothing exclusive or reserved in his conduct and he conversed freely and pleas antiy with every one @nd partook of his meals at the regular table with the other passengers. The steamer made @ stop here of only one hour, and she will probably arrive in New York at about four o'clock on Tuesday morving.

For Pouthe it hag been his habit to sit on the sill of one of the windows looking Into the yard from the third story. Yesterday, while enjoying his usual view from his favorite window, the old gehen lost his balance and was precipitated the yard below. The servants and guests rushed to the yard to find him in his last death throes.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TENNESSEE, Colonel Stokes Meditating Vengeance Against Brownlow and Johnson, WASHINGTON, August 22, 1969, Colonel Stokes on Tennessee Politics. Colonel W. B. Stokea, the defeated radical candk Gate for Governor of Tennessee, arrived here yeu verday, accompanied by # large number of hig discomfited friends, In aearch of office, Stokes! business here is to get a new deal of the federal oMces in Tennessee. Brownlow, having gone over to Senter, Stokes regards himself as the true representative of the party in Tennessee, and the only member of the Congressional delegation from that state entitled to cone trol the federal patronage. Colonel Stokes @ Very bitter in denouncing Senter and Brownlow, the latter of whom he accuses of having broken up the republican party in Tennessee, He gays Browne low's défection acted very damagingly against the radicals, and that his defeat is more owing to that than to anything else, Stokes saya the election was carried by fraud, and he intends to make # fight against the admission of whoever may be elected by the Legisiature to the United Senate, He would not be surprised, he satd, Andrew Johnson should be the iicky man. Proposed Modification ef the Iticome Tan Law. The movement alluded to in these despatches gome time ago favoring 4 modification of tue reve. nue laws affecting incomes has assumed a more for midable and general character, Many members of Congress approve the proposed change tn the law, and representatives of important interests througly out the country are here giving shape and consi tency to the proposed change. Senator Sherman's recent speech at Canton, Ohio, has been severely criticised as politically imprudent in consequence of his avowal of the unpopularity of the tax. It @ clearly shown by those familiar with revenue atatié tics that the amount of currency revenue from inter nal taxes requisite for meeting all expenses of the government, except intereas on the public debt, can be realized from whiskey, tobacco, stamps, licenses and s# modified tncome tax. The plan proposed is to increase the tax on whiskey to one dollar per galion, which, it is claimed, will realize $80,000,000, if the means now within reach of the revenue bureau for the preven- tion of fraud shall be adopted. From tobacco at least $30,000,000 can be realized; from stamps, with & modification of the present law, say $10,000,0003 from fermented liquors, $10,000,000; from licenses, $10,000,000; and then from the modified income tax but $15,000,000 would be required to make a total of $155,000,000, am amount equal to Secretary Bout well’s estimate of the expenditures for the pre sent fiscal: year, The plan is to. confine the income tax to the tax on interest paid on the national debt the five per cent to be deducted when the interest is paid. This will realize $6,255,000 without a doliar of expense in- curred in the collection. The balance it is proposed to raise by taxmg incomes derived from surpius property embraced In stocks of banks, railways and other corporations, and from interest paid on bonds of such corporations. This plan tt isclaimed wilt, while complesely removing the unpopular and tm» quisitorial individual income tax lsw from the stat- utes, result in the saving of at least two millions of Gollars per annum in the cost of collection of the revenue by redncing the number of objects of taxa- tion and consequently the number of officers. Continued Purchases of Bonds. It ts stated this evening, by parties who pretend to know whereof they speak, that in view of the fact of the large balance in the Treasury and the smali requirements during the coming month, Seo retary Boutweli will continue his policy of purchas- ing bonds to at least as large an extent, or eves greater, than during the present month.
