AcApEsMyY OF Music—THe Bonustan Ginb.—A Lonpon Py M. crowded and enthusiastic house last night attended * the performance of this the most popular and sparkling of Balfe's operas, ‘Tue music has become familiar to every one iu tls city, professional and amateur, and never fails to draw a large audience, ‘There 18 only one drawback to It, and that 1s the weak, puerile march iu the market scene, where dhe procession of the trades comes in, It igs unworthy of Balfe, even of his worst. An experiment was tried Jast evening in changing the cast {rom the stereotyped distribution of charac- ters. Neither Castle nor Campbeil appeared, but Nordbiom and Hall assumed their parte, Miss Rose Hersee was the Arline, and we muat gay that she entirely surpassed even the ae expectations formed of her. In her grace, vivacity and action she is soniewhat tke [rma, of the opera bouge, but in ad- dition she has one of those Persian! musical snuff box voices whica gives a perfect tone ana school in @ vocal nutshell. Every note tells and there ig eguality in all the registers of her voice, We certainly prefer her to any Ariine we have seen or heard since the days of Loutsa Pyne. Miss Geraldine Warren {a rather too juvenile and chool girlish” in appearance to do justice to the gypsy, although her Vo.ee is sans reproche, The part requires an actress of a bigh order of talent, as Much as Azucena, in Verdi's opera. Mr. Nordbiom proved bimseif lust night the best tenor of the com- pany. His voice and style are greatly improved, and ln some scenes le threw energy, passion and force into-his part such as we rarely find on the Engitsh opera stage, The rdle of Thaddeus has not had such a rep resentative in this city for many years. Mr. Gustavus Hali failed to replace the mimitable Campbell in his rendering of the rote of the Count. He sang “The Heart Bowed Down” ina style which leit no reason for fauit finding, ana he acted the Dart in an upexceptiouadie manner, but that inde- scribable charm which surrounds the voice of Camp- beil was wasting. Still Mr, Hall is a very worthy artist and promises well, The oboe solo, which precedes the above mentioned air, was ey played and received enthusiastic encore. Indeed, encores were more numerous than we Nave ever heard at this house before. The chorus aud orches. tra, under the direction of Mr. A. Reiff, were all that might be desired. BROOKLYN CITY NEWS.

OPERATIONS COMMENCED. onl io. ~ IstaMus or Dart CALEDONIA Bay, March 14, The depérture of a schooner from here bound for Aspinwall enables me to give you some information regarding the expedition to explore the isthmus. All the vessels of the fleet arrived here safely in this, One of the finest bays on the cuast. The steamship Guard, employed as supply ship to the éxpedition, 13 here, bat the Nipsic sailed some time ago for Car- thagena, for the purpose of procuring more native laborers, those here being insuMictent in numbers. ‘The officers and crews of both vessels are well, ex: cepting Commander Selfridge, who ts suffering from lame leg, which prevents his accompanying the ex- Ploring party across the isthmus, : ‘Ihe-work of exploration has fairly commenced, and all are very sanguine of success in discovering an easy route for the construction of a stp canal. Contrary to tho general expectation the Indiana have thus far been very friendiy, though somewhat frightened at our first appearance, and have assisted the explorers in-every possible way. The expedition has already cut a road three miles in-length into the interior, meeting with @ river which is said to low into the Pacific Ocean. As the schooner leaves immédiately I cannot enter upon the details of the expedition, which will be forwarded in @ few days by steamer. So far every- thing looks favorable to a successful solution of the canal problem. Information from the Expedition at Axpine walleIts Safe Arrival at Caledonia Bay— An American Claims to Know a Better Route for a Canal than Any Yet_ Proposed. Panama, March 17, 1870, I wrote last on the 7th inst, via St. Thomas, enclosing a copy of the new treaty Just negotiaced at Bogota for the excavation of ‘an interoceante canal cross this isthmus, and giving full particulars gt what had transpired at Bogota relative'toit. On this subject there is nothing to add to-day, as there has been no communication whatever with the tnte- rior siace that date, and consequently no ‘news has been received. A smail coasting vessel has arrived at Aspin- wall from Caledonia bay, and brings intelligence that the steamers Nipsic and Guard, of the surveying expedition, had arrived there safely, and reports that os the vessela neared tye shore tho Indians fled from the coast towards the interlor. Nothing haa yet been received as to the progress made by the expedition. Another expedt- tion, on a less pretentious scale, is also now at work in the same locality. A Captain (or Generaly Heine, an American, who arrived at Aspinwall by tue steamship Alaska on the 1st inst., clalms that he knows of a route across the Darien superior to all others, by which he could pass from Aspinwail to Panama entirely by water. In proof of this assertion he has chartered @ small sailboat on the other side, to be delivered here, and, accompanied by two men, he started on his voyage ten days ago. He also arrived saicly at Caledonia bay, but when he wil} put in an appearance at Panama it ta hard to say. Not soon, uniess he can procure force sutticient to carry his yacht trom one stream, to another over the mountains. He is said to have been sent out by some capitalists in New York, There seems to be no end at present to the namber of feasible canal routes satd to nave been discovered across thts isthmus, but which have never been heard of before. All, tnciuding that of Mr. Lucien de Puydt, of the French Colombian Vanal Company, are originated or based on an old survey made tn 1754 and the map agcompanying 1t, lying in the ar- chives at Bogota,. The map ts published in Admiral Davis’ report, and ts very complete of that portion of the isthmus, Those who knew M, de Puydt when here have good reason to doubt that be ever crossed the Darien at all. No Unned States man-of-war has yet arrived on this side to co-operate with the surveying party. YACHTING. The Royn! London Yacht Club—Season Pro- gramme. +LONDON, March 12, 1870.

Pierre Soule. ‘Toe telegraph announces the death of this gentle- man at New Orleans yesterday, in the stxty-ninth Year of his age. He was born in Castillon, in the south of France, in 1801. His father was a lieuten- ant general in the republican army under the first Napoleon. Young Pierre was destiued for the Church, and studied for that purpose at the Jesuits’ College, in Toulouse, but he wearied of theology, and was permitted to continue his studies at Bordeaux. This was soon after the restoration of the Bourbons, and Pierre got into trouvie on account of being implicated in a plot against that conservative family of monarchs, and he was compelled to flee trom Bordeaux. After- wards, when he was admitted to the bar of Paris as an advocate, he helped to edit the Le Nain, a bitterly Uberal organ, and made an attack upon the Ministry, for which he was tried and sentenced to St. Pelagic. te succeeded in escaping from bis prison, however, and sailed tor America. He reached New Orleans in 1826, and settled him. self to the study of Kngitsh and the acquirement of fame ana fortuac. He became a famous lawyer tn the South, apa rapidiy rose to great eminence in bis pearance: He became the accepted leader of the pene. popplation of Louisiana, and mainty by their influence he was elected in 1847 to the United ‘States Senate. In 1349 he was re-elected for the term of six years; bat during his second term, tn 1853, President Pierce, then just elected, appointed hin Minister to Spain. ‘Thus was just after the Lopes movemens in Cuva with which Soule was strougly identified, On his route through the Untied States on his way to New York, preparatory to embarking for Spain, he was the recipiont of enihustastic Cuban annexationist demonstrations, ana in New York, at his hotel, an immense crowd of Cubans greeted him and made the occasion one of intense political dis- play. ‘The late Sedor Faltion, a prominent member of what was then the Cuban Junta, aduressed Minister Soule in a most eloquent speech favor- ing tue independence of Cuba, and Soule responded in an unoiicial manner pighly approving tue seuti- ment, On bis arrival tu Madrid, his sentiments being known, troubie ensued which culminaied in a duel between Soule and the French Minister, ‘turgot, the latter being severely wounded. Soule took no pains to conceal his Cuban sympathies at the Court of Spain, and even lent tis influence to an outvreak against Queen Isabella in 1854. He exceeded his instructions greaily, and withueid from the State Department @ reciprocity treaty whic his Secretary had concluded becween the United States and Cuba, at Madrid, during Mintster Soule’s absence, Soule participated m the Ostend Couter- ence, and is supposed to have been chief in mfuenc- ing the conference to its decision on the Cuban question, In 1855 he returned to the United States and wok but Iittle part in public affairs until the seces- sion of Lousiana, when he stoutly opposed the ordnance, After its. p » however, he sympa- thized with the people of his State, but did not take up grms, fe remained in New Orleans when it was captured by Farragut, and atiempted to dictate his policy to General Butler; but that dougnty Gencral threatened to imprison him uniess he rematned quiet. He was a thorn in Butler's side for some time, aud finally he was sent to Fort La: fayette as a prisoner. After his release he removed with his family to Mexico, but, ike most of the Southern exiles, he tired of bis new home and re- turned to New Orleans, where he resided until his death. A few years ago a suit was brought on ac: count of a claim on the part of his relatives thas he Was insane, and when brought to a judicial decision ho was declared unilt to take care of hts property. In person Mr. Soule was of medium height, good figure and dark complexion. He was highly accomplished, being one of the best educated men in the South, and was @ man of the Tuost poitstied manners, His French accent was plainly apparens in lus conversation, although he had a periect command of the English language, He was an ardent republican, aud his detestation of monarchieal institutions is tlustrated by his proposi- tion in the Osteud Conference that a steam guillo- tine ought to be laventad by some Yankee genius to chop on the heads of all the European kings, N.

Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, I have the best authority for stating wat the onicial despatches from Baez notifying our government of the result of tho St, Domingo election for the annex- ation question have not yet arrived here. The ofl- cial messenger bearing the documents had reachea Havana when Jast heard from and is expected here shortly, I¢ seems that tn making up we papers connected with the negotiations, for che enlighten- ment of the Senate, the Instructions to Commission. era Babcock ana Perry were omitted through mis- take, and also several papers containing accounts of the conversations and oficial interviews with Baez and his Cabinet, ‘This omission was only dis- covered a day or two ago and was promptly pro- vided for by sending all the missing papers to the Senate.

Sefior Don Antonio Flores, Minister Plentpoten- tlary trom the republic of Ecuador, woo was pre- sented to the President yesterday by Secretary Fish, 1s here to be present at a peace congress for the set- Uement of the Spanish war question with the allied South American republics. After the Spanish fleet vetlred from the Pacifle, the war between Spain and the allied republics being considered virtually over, Hagiaud and France offered their mediation; so did the United States, Chile and Bolivia accepted the Anglo-French mediation; but Sefor Flores, as Plent- potentiary for Ecuador to the ailled republics, de- cided himself for the American mediation, which, after long negotiations, was at last accepted by Chile, Consequently the plenipotentiaries for the South American republics and those from Spain are to meet here in the so-called peace congress, House Debate on the Tarif’ Bill, ‘The House met in Committee of the Whole for debate exclusively on the Tarif bill, Speeches were made by Mr. Hay against the protective system and in favor of @ large reduction of import duties and Internal taxation; by Mr. Strickland in advocacy of tie protection of lumber and copper; by Mr, Bird in favor of advancing the farming tuterests as the best meaps of insuring the prosperity of the whole com- munity; by Mr, Hul, in favor of protecting American products, espectatly pig tron; by Mr. Burdewt, Mr. Witcher aud Mr. Donley on behalf of the protective system.

The Reconstruction Cominittee had a session to- day on toe Tennessee question, Mr. Fletcher, Gov- ernor Senter’s Secretary of State, fluished the state- ment wich be commenced at the last meetiag of The st. the committee. It was in all respects similar to the statements made by Fleicher a tew evenings since ata pubitc meeting held here on behalf of Georgia. It 13 understood that the recent refusal of the Presi- deat to respond to Governor Senter’s call for troopa. to ald in the suppression of disturbances in that State will bave a tendency to encourage action on tae part of the House towards tnterference in Ten neasee; at all events those who favor such a course seem pieased at the opinion of the Attorney General, and say they expected it.
