Thasten to transmit to the HERALD, by Atlantic cable telegram report, a synopsis of the speech de- livered by his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the ‘Third to the Legislature of France on the occasion of the opening of the Chambers in Paris to-day. His Majeaty reached the Chambers Hall, attended by the usual State equipage, and was received with ‘the most cordial demonstrations of respectful loy- ality, On bis entering the hall the members rose from their seats and remained standing. The Em- Peror immediately ascended the throne, After ailence had been . restored *he proceeded to address the Senate members of the Chambers, his speech being delivered in a clear and firm yoice and tone, marked with his usual emphasis. His Majest) referred to his endeavors to establish order and liberty and secure peace in France—a dif- QHcult task at times, put now happily accomplisned, Particularly by the guarantees regulating a ‘roe liberty of the public press and the right of popular assemblage for political purposes. The people at large have condemned the “‘exagwera- tions" of certain party leaders ana judged them, properly, as culpable. These exhibitions prove, how- ever, the solid foundations on which “edifice” of the present system of rule had been reared, and Biso that uncertainty.and doubt must be ended and termivated. France requires liberty with order, and order shallbe maintained. Messieura Senators and Deputies you shall help me to secure liberty as a wlorious course may’now be chosen between those ‘who would change all and those who would grant. mothing. The Emperor then made reference to the passage Of the Senatus Consultwm, which was, he said, pro- Posed with the sole view of perfecting an era of con- ciiiation and progress. The duty and task of the Legislature was consequently to aid him in the maturing and fruition of the plan, the points of ‘Which ho proceeded to enumerate as follows:— His Majesty recommends that the constitution shall be so improved as to deciare that in the com- munes the mayors shall be chosen by vote of tho municipalities, the municipal or corporate members themselves to bo elected by unt- Versal suffrage; the establishment of com- muaal councils in new districts of the empire; the granting of fresh and more extensive power and prerogatives to the councila géneraus; the inhabitants of the colonies to participate in the general reform movement, and the right of universal sulfrage to be extended to them; a more rapid devel- opment of the system of primary education for Youth; a diminution ta the scale of law costs and of charges and fees in the courts of justice; a reauc- tion of the war tax according to a scale of easy gra- uation; whe savings bank system to be extended according to law under new regulations; the legisia- tion and enforcement of more humane regulations for the application and control of “infant” labor, or the work of minors in the manufactories and at all the centres of industry and production; for the increase of small annual salaries payable by capi- talists and others to their employés; the development and legal eniorcement of useful measures connected With the pursuits of agriculture, and an inguiry Into the working of the present system of imperial excise with the view of perfecting a new project of Jaw with regard to the customs dues, their ussess- mont and collection. His Majesty assured the members that the general Situation of the empire 1s satisfactory. The exiat- ing state of the imperial reiations with foreign Powers present a subject for congratulatioy and the state of the Treasury and the revenue finances is Prosperous, Towards the conclusion the Emperor said the moment had arrived when the Legislative Chambers must prove to the world that France is really capa- bie of supporting those free inswtuttons which go to constitute by their operation the real power of all civilized countries, ‘The Emperor then continued as follows:—We have reason to be proud of our epoch, The New World suppresses slavery, Russia frees the serfs, Eng- lana renders justice to Ireland, the Bishops are meoting at Rome for wise and con- cillatory purposes, the progress of asoclence draws nations closer to each other. While America unites the Atlantic and the Pacific, everywhere capital and intelligence combine to connect by the electric wire all nations, France and italy will soon be joined by a tunnel through the Alps, and ‘the Suez Canal has already united the Mediterra- nean and the Red Sea. The Empress is not present to-day because I desired her to testify the sym- pathy of France with the wonderful genius and perseverance of @ Frenchman. His Majesty concluded in the following words:— Messiours—You resume your labors after an un- usual interruption of the session. { hope the bodies of the State will apply loyally the modifications lately made in the constitution. There is to be @ more direct participation of the nation in its own affairs. This will be anew force for the empire, May the Champers prove that with- out falling into regrettable excesses, France can Support free institutions which honor civilized mations.” Outside ine | InsideM. the Legislative Hall—The Rochefort’s Name PARIS, Nov. 20-8 P.

Lonpow, Nov, 29, 1869. The London Times, in an article on French poll- tics, says :— Whatever divergence of opinion may weaken the members of the opposition in the Corps Legislatif, they should work together to overthrow the men who have brought the Government into discredit. There ought to be no compromise with the ve instruments of personalrule. Possibly the it ministers may still be at the head; but the Emperor 1s accustomed to look upon his power as built on the odds of a hundred to one. For many years the oppo- sition in the Chamber was composed only of Favre and four others, In the face of one hundred and sixteen opposition votea the Emperor's position is already untenable.

Some time on Friday night or Saturaay morning ‘he stationery store of Howe & Ferry, No. 7 Bow- ery, was visited by burglars, who succeeded in securing valuable booty. 1t appears that they entered @ hallway on the side of the store by means of false keys, which gave them access to an adjoining cellar, From this cellar they worked through a partition into that of the former. Here they were separated from the store above by a double floor, that they attempted to bore through, but abandonea fs.an entrance, as that way would expose them to the view of the watchman outside, who could look in, where the gas was ourning. Disoarding the boring process the burgiars next paid their respects to the door leading from the cellar to the store, which they forced open with jimmies, Once in the store they proceoned to the safe, the key of which they had sh some means secured, and robbed ‘it of 400 in revenue stamps and $100 in money. They Qlso visited @ case in the front of the store, where were ren worth of gold pens, which they aiso carried of. After securing the booty the thieves left the premises, leaving the doors locked as before their visit, Tt te belt that the thieves had a con- Tedorate outaide, who commanded the attention of the oMoer while they carried on their investigations. ‘The ciroumstances of the robvery were reported to the Central Omice on Saturday, and detectives de sailed by Oaptain Kelso to work up the case, AMUSEMENTS. Soorn’s Tararnm.—The veteran Hackett’s first Sppearance at this house, and in his ‘worid-re- owned impersonation of Falsta ff,” attracted last night great audience. The play, the first part of “King Henry the Fourth,” including the battle of Shrewsbury and the death of Hotspur, might be called @ tragedy, if the rollicking Sir John, the Rudolph of the Dead Ranpits, his vagabond asso- ciates and their rascally adventures, did not make it high comedy of spongers in the alevouse, robbers on the king’s highway, and bummera in the battlefield. There is something so detestable in the beastlineas of. Falstaff, that nothing but the unctuous and. abounding wit and humor with which he is invested by Shaks- peare ould have saved him im history beyond the restoration of that atrocious villain, “the Merry narch;” but, under the magic hand of “the divine Wiliam,” the bloated loafer has come far down Into this nineteenth century embalmed in immortal glory, such ag it 1s—@ wonderfully inter- eating characte: Mr. Hackett has made this extraordinary charac- ver hig Own, as Kichard the ‘Third became whe pecu- ltar property of the elder Booth in his day, and Ham- let the patent right of Kemble. Indeed, of the many thousands of persons who have seen Hackett as Fal- staf irom the time of General Andrew Jackson down to this day, there is hardly a surviving individual who has not adopted Hackett's impersonation as the identical Falstaff of Snaks- Peare, And while it must be admitted that the veteran actor is not the vigorous Sir Joun that he was a quarter of @ century ago, he is still wonder- fully fresh and exuberant in his fun, and as active ‘witha! a8 before the war. By Mr. Waller as Hotspur, Mr. Hamtiton as Prince Henry, Mr. Fenno ag the King, Mrs. Winter as Lady Par, Miss Fanny Morant as Dame uickly, aud by the whole lis: of nis supporters, tn ir respective parts, Mr. Hackett was uandsomely supported. Mr. Waller is, mdeed, an admirable Hotspur, and Mr, Hamilton bids fair to become, in trath, @ prince in nig profession. Hotspur’s manly defence of himself before thé King, and Prince Hal’s promises to his father of a better life, were promi- heut among the ‘bright particular stars’? of the per- formance. But the special attraction of Shakapeare’s plays in this house is in thetr mounting—costumes, scenery and appointments.

A spectal sort of voice seems needed for a Vehicle to the quaint droliery of New England char- acter. The very sharp ana nasal destroys the effect and makes the jokes appear premeditated or out to order, while, on the other hand, & voice of too fulla compass fails in getting off the smart rippling Dig oy that your genuine Yankee loves to roll oif the end of his tongue. Yankee Robinson, who is now playing at the Olympic theatre Dartus Dutton, or the Yankee Farmer, who can beat any girl hoeing ‘taters, 1s some ina bear fight and death on in- jins generally, is an excellent type of a rare but pie interesting and humorous ciass, His whole make up is periect, and the way he carries on with Sally Scrubbing (Miss Minnie Jackson) ts the ideal Ploture of @ light-hearted, droli, fun-loving, but ‘cute, sensible and independent Yankee making love to a girl of a much similar disposition. The audience were in roars from beginning to end, especially where Darius scares the armed Indians with a whiskey bottle levelled like a rifle. The performance last evening terminated witn the farce, ‘A Bull in & China Shop,” which afforded enough fun tor one bight, at least, and sent everybody home happy. BoWERY THEATRE.—The vigorous, sulphurons, satisfactory, old-fashioned dramatic account of “The Devil and Dr. Faustus” was presented to the patrons of the Bowery last night, who turned out in great force to honor the occasion, notwithstanding the weather. This is a play tuat can only appear on the Other side of the town BOwadays with the garnish of operatic mounting and the devil refined away to @ sort of impersonation of tne principle of evil; but on the east side they are still downright believers in the real oid devil of the legend, though they assert that the hoofs and horns would be clumsy superfiu- ities, ‘The play 1s capitally mounted, illustrated with edmirabie scenery, and promises to be a great card. SreiNWAY HALL—Tho Slaviansky Russian Vocalist troupe made their débit last evening and achieved a most decided success, The music 1 extremely sweet and melodious, especially in the chorus, The tenor, Mr. Agreneff Slaviansky, has an excellent voice and gained much applause in the Russian sailor's song. ‘Ihe great feature of the performance, however, was the ussian national song, accompanied py the ciari- onet and a dance, very similar in its features to our own olog,dance. The entertainment, moreover, roved the power of music, for, although rendered In @ foreign tongue, the desired impression was fully evident to the numerous audience. Great credit 18 due to the selection both of the artists and the music, and Mr. tiaviansky’s success is certainly based upon the merits of his entertaimment. PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—At this elegant little house last night @ large and fashionable audience Was assembled to witness the now well-known Gramauzation of Mrs. Henry Wood's celebrated novel of ‘East Lynne.” Misa Lucille Western sus- tained on the occasion the dual part, appearing ag Lady Isabel and Madame Vine. We have had occa- sion so often already to give our praise of Lucille in Uhis play that to enlarge at present would be but to. repeat. Enough that she was worthy of herseif and of her growing reputation. In one or two poinws we saw where improvement was possible.

We cannot, however, refuse to admit that in her acting last night we were again and again brought face to face with nature. Mrs. Con- Way's exceilent company gave Miss Western good support. Altogetiier the piece was well put upon the stage, and the performance would have done honor to some houses which make larger preten- sions, universal have we seen CHICAGO AFTER A GIANT. A Chap Twenty Feet Long—More Wonderfal Discoverios by a Well Digger. (From the Chicago Tribune, Nov. 27.) A startin, bo Ba reached Chicago yesterday from the town of Milton, Dupage county, between Whea- ton and Winfield. {t treats of no less a fact than the discovery of the bones of & mastodon, or some immense animal of s kindred type. The discovery came about in this wise:— For some weeks past Mr. Horace Janes, a farmer residing in Milton, had experienced a scarcity of water on his farm with which to supply his cattle and borses, and bas been compelled to draw large bape daily from his neighbors’ wells. On Sun- a jay last. the animals having grown uneasy from the canty supply of water, Br. Janes bethought him to make an effort to find water on the farm, With this intention he made his way, with shovel and pick, to the lowest part of a meadow, where the ground was % and boggy, and there set to work to ig a shallow well. He had dug down about four feot, when he came upon what seemed to be the bones of some enor- mous animal. Being moro interested in his search for water than for natural curiosities, the farmer paid little attention to these curious products of the soli; indeed he scarcely thought of the mavter again, further than to mention the circumstance to his neighbors a day or two later, This lea to an investigation of the bones and a generai search for more. The result of the united efforts of the citizens of the vicinity was the discovery of many more of the fossil remains, Armong them were the bones of the fore leg, which, when jomed bey nthe at the evident junctions, measured ten feet i length. The shoulder bone or blade, a solid piece of bone, measured ten inches by twelve in its superficial dimensions. Four ribs were found, all of which were more or less de- cayed at the ends. One measured four feet and another four feet three inche: length, A number of nuge bones, believed to be sections of the spine near 1t8 connection with the head contained cavities large enough to admit @ man’s hand and arm. Smaller bones in greater variety were picked up— some of them supposed to be the bones of the feet, These dotached joints were the size of a man’s fist. The news of thts wonderful discovery had spread in every direction, and yesterday large numbers of people from the surrounding country visited the lo- cality. Tho gigantic bones were eagerly inspected, and many were the queries as to what manner of Deast they belonged to in ages past the momory or knowledge of the human race, Some of the curiosity hunters, more skilled than thoir fellows in general anatomical science, have busted themselves in join- Ing together the bones at their clearly indicated con- nections, and have become fully convinced that the bones are those of an animal fourteen or sixteen feet high, and not leas than twenty feet in length. Our iaformant, Mr. J. B. Mason, a well known lumber dealer of Chicago, formeriy of Wheaton, states that six men have now gone systematically to work ex- cavating for additiona: remains. They had yester- day dug a pit twenty feet deep and ten feet in di- ameter, and were continually meeting with fresh ence that at this spot some antediluvian monater found @ grave. The savans are on the qui vive, aud Important revelations are aniicipawd, OBITUARY. Gialla Grist. Tho death of this celebrated singer ts announced by a telegram from Berlin as taking place yesterday. Madame Grisi was born on the 224 of May, 1812, on the feast of St. Giulla, Her father, Gaetano Grist, was on engineer oMcer in the service of Na- poleon LE, ana an aunt, Josephine Graasini, will be remembered as the famous singer of her time. Madame Grist received her education a the Convent of Gutzia, studying but litle music and giving no evidence of possessing the splendid voice which, in later years, charmed and delighted thousands. Tne success of her sister, Gulditta, frst aroused within her an ambition for fame a8 o singer, and devoting her time diligently to swudy she was enabled at tho age of seventeen to make her débit at Bologna, in “Romeo e Giuiietta,” and made some impression, more though because of her charms of Person and evident appreciation of her part, than because of any marked exhibition of vocal wers. Three years later, however, she made er appearance at Milan on the first representa- tion of “Norma,” and achieved @ real triumph ‘athe character of Adaigisa, which she layed to Pasta’s personation of Norma. From this night dates her career as @ great artist, and the event Proved the occasion for ® rather amusing, if ques- Uonable, act on her part. Betore appearing at Milan she had entered into an engagement for six years, for & moderate salary, tosing at Florence. After her Oirst triumph, finding that her vocal abilities could command greater compensation than she had con- tracted for, Grisi clandestinely started on a journey for France to avoid fulfling her obligations. Lanari, the Florence impresario, who had been congratulating himself on having obtained a fine Jewel tor asmail price, was so enraged when he heard of her departure that he determined upon pursuini the absconding prima donna. Luckily for Grist there was no electric telegraph in those days, so that she was able, after an exctt chase, to reach tho French frontier. Arrived in Paris she songht out Roasini, through Whose Influence she obtained an e! ment as prima donna of the Italian opera. Her romantic Hight from Italy had been duly announced to the public, as well ag the fuct of her possessing a Magnificent voice. The result was that cee first night the opera house was densely crowded, 8 majority of the audience attending more from curiosity than from any faith in her powers, Her Singing, howéver, was splendid and her triumph signal, A most brililant season followed, every night bringing with it an ovation. in 1834 she made her debut im London as Ninetta, in the “Gazza Ladra,” receiving one of the greatest ovations accorded to an artist by an English audience. Her reputation during this season steadily increased, the house being as full on ‘the laat night ag tt was on the first, In several char- acters she was conspicuously auring her Career, As the Queen in “Semiramide” and Donna Anna in “Yon Giovanni” she excelied, aud in “Lucratia Borgia,” “I Puritant,” (which latter was written expressly for her) and other heey Was signally successful. But 1t was in the réle of Norma that she won her greatest triumph. Her singing and acting of this character has never been surpassed, aud, indeed, it my be truly said has never been equalled by singers coming after her, although her conception of the part and style of rendering has invariably formed @ mode] for all. ‘The flexibility and compass of her voice Were re- markabie ana her dramatic talent would, without singing, have made her famous. For a@ number of years Madame Grist appeared al- ternately in Paris and London—in the Jatier city, at her Majesty's theatre, until 1846, and subsequently at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden. In August, 1854, she came to the United States, in com- pany with Signor Mario, and was received with great enthusiasm, On December 1, 1861, sno took & farewell benefit in London, and announced her intention to retire from tho stage. Upon this occasion she was the recipient of a splendid ovation. She, however, reappeared in 1865 and for a short time in 1868. Unfortunately her voice was no jonger what it once had been, and, besides, the singiug of Pattt was still fresh in tho memory of her audience. It was not surprising, tnerefore, that manifestations of disapprobation greeted her last appearance—au event that is said Vo have patned her deeply. In 1836 Mme. Grist married M. de Melcy, a French gentleman of wealth and high standing in society. The marriage proving reget she abandoved him, and for many years lived with Sigaor Mario, by whom she bad several children, and whom she afierwards married. Her triumph as a singer was remarkably brilliant, and was sustained for an Unusual aumber of years. YOUNG MENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, “Private View” of the Association’s New Building Last Evening. By invitation of a specially appointed committee the members ef the prefs and several hundred dis- tinguished persons were last evening privileged with a “private view’ of the interior of the new building of the Young Men’s Christian Association, which is situated on the corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue.

Long before the hour announced for the opening of the doors a large crowd of ladies and gentiemen had gathered at the maia entrance, and by nine o’clock every available space in the recep- tion and reading rooms was Milled to repletion by the specially invited visitors. The various apartments of the magnificent edifice were brilliantly lighted on the occasion, ond the officers of the association, who were all present to do the honors ot the evening, were untiring in their efforta to make everybody feel per- fectly at home in their tour of inspection; and it is almost unnecessary to state that all the visitors ex- pressed themselves highly pleased with all they were able to see Owing to the crush that prevatied.

There is also a room over the entrance hall for the secretary, who 4g the executive ofcer of the asaociation. A short stairway from the reception room leads down to the gymnasium—a large well ventilated room, care- fully fitted with she most perfect apparatus, where regelar classes for instruction will be established. On the lower floor are comfortable batn rooms, for the use of the large numbers of young men whose boarding houses afford them no convenience of the kind. On the second floor is the library, extending through two stories, enclosed in fire-proof walls, and capable of contain'ng 20,000 volumes, In addition to a caretul selection of useful and safely entertain- ing books, 1t 1s intended to add, as soon as means Will allow, a complete biblical library, which will be of great service to Sunday schoo! workers and clergy- men.
