The Times this morning, in a leader on the Cudan Question, says:— He must be a clever man who can determine the tentions of the United States with respect to Cuba. ‘here are two parties in the States—one favors non- fear peed and the other approves of Minister ickies’ Course; and, finally, there is President Grant, ‘who vibrates between the two, But there cannot be two opinions fn regard to the blunder which General Bickles lus made.

NDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. AMUSEMENTS. CARLOTTA Parti.—It takes a great artist to make @ grand sucoeas, auch as Carlotta Patti achieved Last night, We had been prepared, vy her repeated European triumphs, to Gnd her voice almost a new creation since she left us six years ago. We are not disappointed. The opinious pronounced in all the leading theatres of the Old World, including those of the crowned heads—although the heads that wear a@crown are not always good judges of music—are verifled here, But Miler Patti had the honor most dear to a true artist, of singing before such divinittes—high priests indeed of the art divine, as Auber, Rossini, Meyerbeer and Verdi, from each of whom she received those laurels of commendation which every ambitious artiat must prize more dearly thon gems and gold or the plaudits of imperial sovereigns. Our sovereign people, represented by the frst classes of metropolitan society, gave her a welcome last night at Stemway Hall that Mile. Patut must remember all the days of her life. The pick and choice of the elie of the city were present, and so were the severe critics and the musical dilletante; but, one and all, they accorded to her the merit of using a magnificent voice with wonderful skill. Since the days of Malibran we have perhaps had no such vocalization on the concert stage. Remarkable as Jenny Lind was in the use of a peculiarly gifted organ, Patti m many instances equais if she does nov excel her, Lind was cailed, appropriately enough, the “Swedish Nightingale.” Patil, in her rapld changes and exquisite trilla, may claim to challenge ail the birds of the air, if it were worth while to enter into fivalry with them. in the “Luce di Quest Anima,” from “Linda,’ She used her voice with @ marvello power im het transition from one passage to another that would have been astonishing even ina violin, butin the human voice seemed almost an impossibility, The audience recognized this fact, and applauded tt not only by overwhelming bravos, but by laying a pentocs garden of dowers—the odor whereof fiilea the bouse—at the feet of the fair cantatrice, and an encore which was responded to by the Bolero from the “Sicilian Vespers," rendered most charmingiy. In the “Carnival of Venice” Mile. Pattl had, pertaps, a finer opportunity of developing her complete command of a wonderful voice, which seeinca at times to pass from her as though she had nothing at all to do with it, but left it to be governed by some supertor power. Patti's success last night was unequivocal, as indeed tt deserved to be. Rarely was an artist greeted by so fastionabie, refined and critical an audience, and 80 flatteringly sustained. ‘The other members of Mr. Strakosch's concert troup are quite equal to the reputation of the guiding star. Ritter has a delicate, perhaps too delicate, but crisp and firm touch on the piano, His concerto in C minor of Beethoven afforded little opportunity of judging his capacity, because it was too much orches- tra and too little piano, and moreover was a little wearisome from its length; but in the second piece from Bach, with an original movement of his own, Mr. Ritter was heard to more advantage and proved himself an excellent artist. Prume, although not @ Paganini nor a Vieuxtemps, did some wonderful things with his violin, and was admirably sustained by @ well directed orchestra. His reception was most cordial and well deserved. Upon the whole, the firat Patti night was a grand success, and we presume tlrat 1113 but the preclude to a very prosperous season. ENoLisa OreRa.—Auber’s charming three act Opera of “Fra Diavolo” was given by the Parepa- itosa English opera troupe last night at the Thédtre Freugais, and was @ most delightful and enjoyable performance. A large and fashionable audience assisted at the representation ahd everything con- nected therewith passed off in the most agreeable manner. Miss Rose Hersee, in the character of Zerlina, sang and acted the part entrusted to her with much spirit and artistic ability, and succeeded in confirming the good impression which she made upon our citizens upon the occasion of her first @ppearance. Mrs. Seguin, as Lady Allcash, was, a8 usual, perfect in her role and in excellent voice. Her acting was ful! of dash, and to her is due, in a mea- sure, much of the success of the performance. Mr. Willtam = Caatle, as the terrible Fra Diavolo, was really superb, a8 was also Mr. Segui as Allcash, and Messrs. Campbell and Hall, as Beppo and Gtacomo, respectively. In fact, all concerned —_ acquitted —_ themselves in @ very handsome manner, and the opera upon the whole waa one of the most perfectly rendered thus far by the Parepa-Rosa troupe. Encores were the order of the evening, after the first act all or the above named artists being called before the curtain. The opera was creditably costumed, the “make up" of the leading characters being particu- larly fine. ‘Fra Diavolo" ts one of the best operas of the kind ever written by Auber. It abounds in striking melodies and choruses, but the finale lacks completeness, As given last night at the Theatre Francais tt was a8 near perfection a3 was to be expected, and with the exception of the prompter, who insisted on making himself heard all over the house, just as though he was one of the most import: ant characters in the piece, 1t was In every respect a creditable performance. Boorn’s THEATRE—ENOCH ARDEN,—The revival of this well known piece, under a new version, was effectively produced at the above theatre last evening. The original plot of the poem has been adhered to with the exception of the jast act, in which Enoch dies after seeing his wife and her unhappy family, but unseen by them. Miss Bianche de Bar, as Annie, acted her part admirably, especially in the third act, where, on the point of marrying Philip Ray, she aull doupts the death of Enoch. Enoch Arden, the hero of the plot, tinds a worthy personification in the agting of Mr. Theodore Hamilton, which, although some- what pathetic in the commencement, was amply rendered in acts four and five. The parts of Meriam Lane and Dr. Grummest, respectively performed by Miss Fanny Morant and Mr. Vhomas J. Hind, were both excellent and natural. Oue of the most striking features was, doubtless, the magnificent scenery, especially in Annie's vision and that repre- senting Enoch on the desert island. The house was well flied, and the frequent applause indicated that, although being a new version, the pubilc not ou appreciated the piece, but also the acting. Musical and Theatrical Notes.

The deceased gentleman was a native of Ireland and emigrated to America about twenty- five years since. Nearly twenty years ago he join he Second regiment and continued that con- nection up to the time of his disease, having risen through the various successive grades until he attained command as colonel. At the commence- ment of the late war he volunteered and served with marked = distinction undl the termination of — hostilities, the command to — which he was attached, the famous Sixty-ninth, being one of the regiments in the weil known Corcoran Legion. Here he rose to the rank of lieu- tenant colonel, and upon rejoinining his old regiment—the Second—in 1865, he was made colonel. He died of enlargement of the heart. De- ceased was abont forty-five years of age and was deeply respected by a ree circle of friends, His funeral will take place on Wednesday. THE BUTCHER CART ROBBERY, Yesterday afternoon an examination was had at detferson Market Police Court, before Justice Led- with, in the case of Thomas Hart, who was charged with having been implicated in the robbery of $10,000 from Mr. Simonson, of the Harlem Railroad Company. It will be remembered that the robbery took place on Thursday morning, in East Twenty- sixth street, and that Mr. Simonson’s assailants subsequently escaped in @ butcher cart. On the examination yesterday oMcer Young, of the Eighteenth precinct, who arrested Hart, Mr. Simonson anda number of other witnesses were examined, bat not @ particle of evidence was pro- duced to show that Hart was in any manner guilty, or even connected indirectly with the actual thieves, aud Be was accordingly honorably discharged by ve jour' A date tree, near the middle of the square bounded by Julia, St. Charles, Girod and Carondelet streets, New Orleans, ix now loaded with bushels upon bush: ls Of ite capidly ripeutog fruit, THE MOSQUITO FLEET. Tho Mysterious Spanish Guuboate=Trial Teiv of “No, 1” Vesterday—Decisive Position of the Administration—“Will They Sail?” ‘Me Spanish mosquito boata again. They have been buzzing about the ears of Secrotary Fish, sting- ing the tender skin of wily diplomats, touching the gentic susceptibilities of Mr. Sumner, and have been worse than the locusts of Kigypt—a pest generally. Let all hands go down to the foot of Thirteenth Street, North river, and they will there behoid this troublesome swarm yclept the Mosquito Fleet. Within three months’ time everything that can be seen at the Delamater Works has = been accomplished toward pushing these singular specimens of marine architecture to successful completion. Over 500 men are now employed on the vessels, and the whole scene in their vicinity ts one of activity and animation, It ia something, tt ts true, to be proud of in the annals of American shipbuilding that a foreign government should seek our shores as @ fitting quarter wherein to construct, arm and equip a flotilla of the magnt- tude of thirty craft. Yet the question occurs, did not Spain make this contract with an American con- atructor with that subtle diplomacy tnat has long distinguished her foreign relations? Dia she not, believing that these gunboats were to be used in American waters, and that their — building and even their departure trom this port would not be impeded by the administra- tion, take fresh confidence in ordering thirty insigniilcant, and, in @ naval view, very ordinary vesseis? It must seem so to every reflecting mind, In the Orst place take @ survey of the gunboats, their dimensions, capacities for offence and defence oa te probable service for which tiey are des- ned. THE GUNBOATS. Now lying at the toot of Thirteenth street, on the north side of the pier, are fifteen of these marine inseet#, with their bows turnea towards all points of the compass. Painted a lavender color, with a full length fore and aft of 105 (eet and of a tonnage leas than 200 burden, which 18 the capacity of a amall- sized Canal boat, they present the appearance of a very petty squadron, when even compared with the hermaphrodite doubie-enders that made a0 conspi- cuous @ failure in the late war. The very fact that they have been constructed in so short a tine, independent of their peculiar model and their striking littieness furnishes enough assurance that they can never be other than mean guerilas in @ general naval combat, and of course they are Mable to be met in this manner. The boats are not named, but are numbered from one to fifteen conse- cutively. An examination of any one of them reveals the Characteristica of all, for they are sister vessels. With a moderate breadth of beam in proportion to the length, and a very shallow depth of hoid, the lines of the hull are not of course marked by any degree of beauty, nor do they show that any parti- cular style Of model has been adopted. The bows have litie inclination, the stern hy being alinost perpendicular. About the stern the lines resemble the hind quarters of a beef, and ruptly at the propeller frame. the area 13 very cramped, be imagined from the dimensions. is the fire room, just forward of amidships, furnished with @ horizontal tubular gunboat poiier, built at sne Del- amater Works. Just abaft is the oscillating engine, @ small concern of nominal horse power. Still fur- ther aft can be found the cabin. As this apartment is designed to accommodate several officers with state rooms, it is evident that Spanish economy has contemplated some reduction tn the human frame. AS @ human habitation these quarters are ridicu- lously small, Above decks ascend two spars, the foremast and mainmast, witha rake that calls to mind the East India privateers. ‘The smoke stack ts an ordinary funnel, stayed to the same angie as the spars. Tho vessels, When complete, will carry only fore and main sails (fore and aft sails), with two gaff topsatis and a jib. fg The armament is to consist of a 100-pounder Parrout Tifle, mounted as a pivot gun forward. {he white and live oak of which the craft are built will vibrate somewhat under the recoii of these monsters. THE TRIAL TRIP OF NO. 1 YESTERDAY. Gunbout No, 1 started yesierday alternoon on her trial trip up the North river. She ascended tue Hudson as far as West Point, her engines working adiwirably and her success for the purposes tor which she was designed being complete. The reve- ue Cutter stationed opposite the Delamater Works was on thé scent to detect any seaward tendency of the scow, and it ts needless to say without success. She staried out, making from ten to twelve knots an hour without a tull pressure, This trip established the value of the initial ‘boat, Whatever that may be, though, for the designs aimed at, everything sougat has been accomplished. THE UNITED STATES MARSHALS POSITION. Marshal Barlow 1s tranquil. A change has ‘‘come o’er ihe spirit of hia dreaus."’" He no longer looks pale and dejected over the relative interests of Spain and Cuba. Some three weeks ago a dark-eyed patriot of the land of fons made him a cominunica- tion, in which, representing his agency with the Spanish Minister, he said that no attempt on the Part of the owners would be made to clandestinely remove the vessels trom the harbor. This gentie- Man then repaired to Washington, and, it Is sup- posed, has since been in correspondence with Secre- tary Fish. There is certainly no evidence abroad that the Spanish government desires the gunboats to jeave, in defiance of the Cabinet at Washington. The impression prevails that no power on the part of the authorities can detain the boats, and there is no reason for doubting its good sense when it is considered that our relations with Spain are friendly, that Cuba fs not a beiligereut, and no other friendly point is tnreatened with their attack. It 1s probable, then, that each of these funny craft will sail upon their completion, which will be inside of a month. No.law can enjoin them. For whatever service they are destined it cau hardly be transatlantic; for a good breeze and a high sea would bury them in Davy Jones’ locker. A more puerile fleet as a weapon of oijence was never Wituin the indignity of any nation to project, hor the lot of any buiider to construct, But fifteen more are to be added to the swarm, and their con- struction {s rapidly going forward at Mystic, Conn. Captain Harmony, United States Navy, represents the Navy Depariment, and is tn charge of ‘ne flotilla at the Delamater Works. break ab- On deck MEW JERSEY STATE FAIR. Fifth and Closing Day—Splendid Weather, but Poor Attendance—A Good Afternoon’s Sport on the Track—Hints for Futurity. Yesterday was the fifth and iast day of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society’s eleventh annual exhibition on the grounds of the society at Waverley, and was successful in all respects, except as regards attendance. The exhibition, under cover and on the track, was quite as good as on preceaing days— indeed in the matter of trotting it was decidedly better—but the people failed to put in an appearance in anything like large number# Yesterday's aitend- ance, compared with that of Friday, was, in fact, very meagre. At the most crowded time during the afternoon at the furthest there could not have been more than from twenty-five hundred to three thousana persons. However, as in the case of the rainy day (Wednesday), that which was @ loss to the society was a great gain to the visitors, Yesterday one could saunter leisurely through the buildings, containing all conceivable kinds of household goods, fancy articies and manu- factures; the spacious canvas hall, wherein was temptingiy displayed the choicest of new designs in Pumoogieet products; wander arouna the pens and stalls containing the ge cattle and horses; or, if turfites, enjoy the sports of the horse track without. ‘aken altogether the fair was simply ® success financially and not otherwise, whereas by proper liberality and enterprise in accord with the present progressive order of things it might bave been a signal, a grand success; and it would be weil for the geuntiemen in charge of the society to bear this in mind. ‘ihe rounds are commodious and fine, and are jocated in the midst of an exceedingly picturesque and delighttul prospect, But mere looks go for little in these days. It would, perhaps, at the next election of oficers,do no harm to infuse «@ consideravie modicum of young blood into the various com- mittees. During the early part of the day few persons were present, and about twelve o'clock the Presi- dent, General N, N. Halsted, of Kearny, read tho award of premiums in the various departments irom Music stand, The remiums were numerous, and consequently not avy in any single case, being altogether in cash. According to the printed statement there was given aitogether some $7,000 in premiums, amd it is a sig- nificant fact that during the best and really only good day of the fair (Friday) there is only claimed to have been taken in by the society $6,000. The port on the track was inaugurated soon after one ‘clock. The frst race was for a special premium omored for the best four year oid gelding road horse owned in the State, and was won by J. Collins’ horse, of Newark, tn two straight heats, making time 3:07 and 3:02. Other qualities as weil as speed were considered in this race. The next was also for @ spe a very tine, well contested horses of S, A. Guerin, of Mol vhurenill and James Coiling, Won the three heats in 2:45 4%, 2:53 54 and 2:45, ‘The third race was probably the most exciting of all, and was asplendid brush between horses en- tered by D, 8. Fields, of Easton, and Guerin, of Mor- ristown, best three in flve. Guerin’s horse wou in 2:58 34, 2:56% and 3:03, The other horse only lost the last heat by @ neck, A trot between the fastest stallions was won by James Collins’ horse tn 2:5034, 2:52 and 2:53, A best two in three pacing match was won by Claries Reoves’ horee 0 3:16 34, 3:00 5. ‘The day's sport and the fair closed with a trot be- tween double teams, for which there were four en- tries, but only three ran. These were Rosa Lee and mate, entered by 8. A. Guerin, and teams entered by 7. Collins and H. Keovan. Guerin's team won in three straight heats, time 2:64), 2:58 and 2:63 Thus ended the eleventh annual exhibition of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society.
