AHUSEMENTS., ENGLIso Orrna.—Last night was a gala night at the Théatre Francais. Every seat and almost every box in the theatre was occupied, and even standing room was looked upon as quite an accommodation. The occasion of this jam of beauty and fashion was owing to tho fact that Flotow’s sparkling four act opera of “Martha” was givon for the first time this season by tle Paropa-Rosa English Opera Troupe, with Mme. Rosa in tho réle of Lady Harriet, sup- ported by Mrs, E. Seguin as Nancy, Mr. Castlo as Lionel, Mr. Campbell a8 Plunket, Mr. Seguin as Lord Tristam and Mr. Hallas the Sherif. The audience was a8 cnthusiastic as it was large and fashionable, and as for the opera, tt ts safe to say that that charming work was never, so far us tho Principal singers were concerned, rendered more perfectiy, Wo have witnessed the opera when much more dash and spirit have been infused into the act- ing, but never before havo we heard it given in better voice. The shortcomings of the acting are excusabie for a first representation. All the leading artistes were favored with encores during the per- formance, and, in fact, everything connected with last night's rep! tation of the opera passed off in & most pleasing and enjoyable manner. Mme. Rosa has not been in better voice this season Jotion closed quiet, than she was last evening, nor has she appeared in any othor opera given up to this time at the Théatro Francals to more advantage, Mrs. Seguin aad Messrs. Castle, Seguin and Campbell in their several roles acquitted themselves in the most crecit- able manner. 1he opera was \dsomely mounted tay i fair scene in the second act oeing particu. i deserving of mention, It was a set scene, with its fancy booths, lower stands, acrobats, per- forming bears, an organ Inder, @ monkey, anda Punch and Judy show the style of the Tam- It ta deserving of mention that although the scene of the opera is latd in Eng- land, end that the incidents connected there- with aro supposed to have occurred some fow hundred years that the organ grindor tortured the organ with playing the Lingard ballad of “Walking Down Broadway,”’ while his poor inno- cent monkey vainly endeavored to hop and skip it very much after the manner of “Captain ”’ notwithstanding the fact that Broadway was mn thought of until some few years later, exception of two or three ridiculous incon- gruities of this naturo, and a slight deficiency on the eS of the chorus, ‘Martha’ ag given last night by ho Parepa-Rosa troupe was a oe success, To-morrow evenini lartha’’ will be repeated tor Mme.

Senator Wilsows Opinion of the Admin‘strae tons Policy esurding Southern Electious, Senator Henry Wilson does not approve of tie policy of the administration in interfering in the elections ia the Southern States by using the federal Patronage to defeat the conservatives. He thinks tt would be better to conciliate all parties ciaimtag to be republicans, whether tuey call themselves radlt- cals or couservatives, and unite them agatist the Simon pure democracy, If this policy had been» pursued in Virginla and Tennessee he {3 sattsled that both of these States would have elected straight out republican tickets, He thinks Mississippi and Texas can both bo saved to the republicans if the proper measures are adopted to unite the various factions of the party. Using tho patronage in Mississippi against Dent and in Texas against Hamilton will, he thinks, only make votes sor the candidates, while it will do the radicals no good, It ts unuerstood that Wilson, while bere yes- terday, gave the President and some of the members of the Cabinet his opinion on the subject. The Mexican Claims Commission. ‘The statement telegraphed hence a day or two ago that farther legislation by Congress would be neces- sary before anything can be accomplished by the Mexican Claims Commission 1s, I am informed, incorrect. The Commission, before it adjourned, made tts arrangements fur proceeding to adjudicate the claims and prescribed all the torms and rules to be observed by claimants, No newrules have beon made since, and the adjournment of the Commis- sion until December was for the purpose of giving claimants timo to prepare their cases, Loans and Discounts of National Banks, Tuo Comptrolier of the Currency has issued a ctr- cular to the national banks asking fora statement showing their number aod amount of toans aud dis- counts, and average time for which the loans were granted, average rate of discount or interest charged for the year commencing October 1, 1868, including September 1, 1869; also the ex- penses, amount and rate of taxation, United States and State, and amount of profits for the same period.

Accompanied by Colicctor Grinnell, they waited upon the Presikent to-day for the purpose of calling his attention to the facts set forth in a recent report on the importation of steel, prepared by W. B, Farwell. They ailoge tat the foreiga manufacturers of steel are in the habit of invoicing it to their agents in this country at figures much below what they sell it for at home and to other countries, This 1s on account of the existence of our tariff on imported sicel, and tho members of tie delegation say that in this way the revenue 1s defrauded. The delogation were sup- ported in their statement by Collector Grinnell, Tho President replied thad he regarded the branch of manufactures in which they were engaged as one of the most important in the country, and he referred them to Recretary Boutwell, who, he said, would look into the matter and seo that any abuses of the kiud spoken of would be corrected. The delegation subsequently called upon the Secre- tary, who promised to look into the matter, Gambling Among Government Employes. The Collector, Naval OMcer and Surveyor of the Port of New York have united in requesting Secre- tary Boutwell to make a contribution on behalf of the government to the society in that city for the suppression of gambling. They alloge that the inte- rests of the government require that there should be a system of espionage over those in government employ, and the only practicable way of revching those guilty of gambling is through the induouce of the sociely, The New York merchants contrivute according to their business, the firms of A. \T.

VT, Hall, the Arctic explorer, who has re- cently returned to this city from an extended Fesearch within the North Polar circle, turnishes the following narrative of lis investigations and discoy- eres in that region:— Reruse Bay, June 20, 1299, Henny Grinngun:— Dian Ste is day I have returned from sledge journey of ninety days to and irom K William's Land, it was my purpose, and eve preparation was made, to make tals journey | season, but my attention then having called to ‘ellville Peninsula, im the vicinity OF and Hecla straits, where naive report ri it that wiite men had been seen, 1 directed my expedition there, by way of Am-i-toke, O: Isle, Ig-loo-lik, w the ardent hope and ex Won of rescuing ave s of Sir John Frankita’s lost companions, Thy t of tins journey was tac finding of @ touting place of afew waite men and a stone pillar they had erected close by it at th tom of Parry Bay, which 1s some ty mil the western ouilet of the visi thea tr een BOER by Natives of Ig-loo-1tk and vicinity im of about the yeara 1866-7. 1 also guined much information’ from e natiyea of Ig-too-k, North Gog-hk jale, aud thereabouts, that confirmed the report I had heard in the winter of 4867-8, which 1 have already stated. And sill further proofs of this re- port have becn also obtamed oa my late visit to King William's Laud. My sledge jouriey to wi Straits of Fury wad Heota, anil thence dowa to Parry Bay and back to epulss Bay by the rouse already de(ned, consumed ninety-six days. 7 It of my sledge journey to King Witltaa's Land ma, be summe: u thus:—No: of Sir John Franklin's companions ever reached or died on Montreal island, 1b was late im duly, 1543, that Urozicr and bis party, of about forty or torty-iive, passed down the west coast of King Williain’s Land, in the vicinity of Cape Her- schel, The party was dragging two sledges on the 80a 10 was nearly tn its last stage of dissolu- tion—one @ large: sledge laden watt an awning-coy- ered boat, and the other asinall one, laden with provisions and camp inaterial, Just before Crozier and pacly arrived at Cape Herschel they were by four ot natives, and both artics went, camp near each — otier, two Esquimaux men, who were of sie na- live party, pave me much sad bub deeply interesting information. Some of it stirred iny heart With sadness, tntermingled with rage, fo it Was a contession that they, wih their companions, did secretly and suily abandon Crozter and his party to sufler and die for need of fresh provisions, when, in truth, it was in the power of the natives to, save every mau alive.

How could we expeet, if we had got into siraliened cir- cumstances, that we should have recetyed better treatment from the Kajuimanx of that country than the 105 souls who were under the command of the heroic Crozicr, some time after the Jandidg on King William's Land?
