SERBACH—FIkST APPEARANCE IN “JANE EYRE."— Last night Madame Seebach revealed another phase of her transcendent ability in Mme. Charlotte Birch- Pfeiffer’s fine adaptation of “Jane Eyre.” The great work of Charlotte Bronte is so familiar to American readers and has been the theme of such repeated and elaborate literary criticism that to attempt a fresh analysis of that remarkable produc- tion, however brief, in this place would be needless, Years ago it was excellently dramatized by Mr. John Brougham, and the title réle was per- formed with high success by Miss Laura Keene, sus- tained by Mr. George Jordan in the part of Fairfax Rochester. The press deservedly rang with the fame ofthe drama at that time and, when, a few days since, the announcement of Marie Seebach in the great part of “the Orphan of Lowood” was inade public, expectation was keenly awakened. Consequently last evening saw the theatre on Fourteenth street handsomely filled with @ most refined and highly appreciative audience. Great curiosity was felt to see how the great German artiste would uit her- self in a part so foreign to the habituaes of her own conn: and people, and so dificult of grasp even to the best English or American histrionic stars, We can only anuounce the result in these few words—a perfect and absolute triumph, An even unusual pressure ob our space will not pormitu to offer the detailed critique for which there was such Wealth of material and which we would so gladly give. We can but say that, in the very first scenes of the prologue, where the orphanage and domestic misery of Jane Eyre are pictured, Mme. Seebach rose to the full height of her genius, and touched the hearts, as well as the intelligence, of all beholders with even greater power than she has yet disclosed in America. As the play developed, and, from the flerce storms of the prologue, the plot emerged into the high drama of the three acts that formed vhe body of Mme. Pfeiffer’s aamirable version, more and more force and feel! were revealed, ‘The opening interview between hester and the poor governess was a delightful ae of acting, or rather of nature brought tresn and glowing on the stage; the fire scene was truly great in every intellectual sense; the loving, jealous and pathetic passages were really superb. ‘Time and again the expression that “a pin might have been heard to drop’ in the body of the house was literally correct, and the fair portion of the audience yielded freely the tribute of their tears. in the grand closing scene, where Rochester declares his passion and tells nis sad nar- rative of sorrow and sucrifice, a closer regard to costume and a less abrupt movement on the boards would have been more in accordance with tae pecu- Marities of a fastidious taste. But these slight blemishes oniy made the superb total of Mme See- bach’s achtevement tn Jane Eyre the more conspicu- ous, The house closed with heartfelt plaudits from the least enthusiastic critics, and all departed with the emotion of an evening's intellectual pleasure seldom equalled. Mlle, Mathilde Vaneta was excei- lent in the role of Mrs. Reed, and of Mile. Barden- hauer, in Lady Georgina, we may warmiy add as much. Mr. Domvrowsky, as Rochester, even sur- passed himselt. Thus evening Mile, Vaneta will appear as Debo- rah, in Moseathal’s flne drama of that name, On Friday evening “Jane Eyre” will be repeated, and on Saturday, at one ?. M., @ grand matince will give allan opportunity to enjoy Mme. Seebach’s inimi- tabie performance of “Mary Stuart.” Judgtag fro: the enthusiasm of last evening we predict crowded and delighted houses, CHRISTINE NILSSON—SEVENTA CoNcERT.—The usual assemblage of the critical, the refined and the fashionable portion of the community greeted Chnistine Nilsson last night at Steinway Halt, ‘the house presented @ most brilliant appearance, and the appreciation of the artist was manifested by frequent and judicious appiause. The programme was rich in charming morceaux from Auber, Mo- zart, Meyerbeer, Donizetti, Handel and Verdi— variety enough, selected from the genius of all these composers, One would suppose, to make a good concert bill, With the excellent company support- ing Mile. Nilsson noue of the composers suifered last night, Nilsson herself was superb in the “Tace la Noite” from *‘Lrovatore,"’ and as sweet and chavut- ing as ever im Handel’s simple song, “Anvels ever bright and fair, which woula almost seem to have been written for her pure, limpid voice. The introduction of the plaintive negro melody, “Old Folks at Home,” in response to an encore, was a little surprising, but was received with consiierable pleasure and applause, The programie for to-mor- row night embraces some, of the most favorite pieces in Mile, Nilsson’s répertoire—“There was a King tn Thule” and the jewel song from “Faust,” the miserere from “Trovatore,” and the exquisite old Scoteh ballad, “Auld Robin Gray.’? OLyxric TakaTRE—Fox's NEw PANtomite.— Nothing giaddeus the heart of young New York more than the cheering announcement of a new pantomime by the modern Grimaldi, George L. Fox. in this line he has no living equal und has siruck out apath for himself distinct from all other panto- mimists. The clown in his case 1s a genuine come- dian that depexds not upon acrobatic business or Outrageous grimaces for effect, but upon a keen sense of the ludicrous and the expression of it in a@ peculiarly irresistible quiec way. The face of a clown 1s not generally supposed to be suscepuble of any expression be- yond that which i painted on it in th dressing room; but tn Fox’s case the face is a per- fect kaleidoscope of humor, He ts never vulgar or offensive, hut lights up ali his comicaliites with a geniality and whvle-souled humor that wins the au- dience at once. No wonder, the, that John Oxen- ford, iresh from what is generally considered the ho ve and nursery of pantomime, pronounced Fox the first m his line on the stage. Last night the Olympic was crowded = from parquet to dome on occasion of the frst production of “Wee Willie Winkle," the jatest einana- tion from the capacious brain of Morus, ‘fo describe adequately such a vewtidering and apparently ena succession of laughable tricks and gorgeous scenes would be impossib.e. ‘The en- tire plece ran with surprising smoothness for a first perlormance and there was not a dali feature in it, Jt fay surpas-es either “Humpty Dumpty” or “Hic cory Diceory Dock”? in variety and extraordinary changes, and Mr. Hayes has exceiic ni in iraming it in beautiiul scenery. The two transtor- mation scenes, wh.ch close both acts, are marvels of art, aud all the accessories are in keep- ing. Mr. George Keane is a better Pat taloon than his predecessor, Mr. C. K. Fox and Mr. Honeywood and Miss Fanny Beane are as agile ant graceful as one could expect from a Harlequin aud Columbine. Miss Jennie Yeamaus sang surprisingly well for a child, and the intant Ninth regiment, with their juvenile colonel, created Mauch merriment. The music, under the direction of Mr. Strelmger, was of a superio’ character to What one generaily hears in a pantomime. Alto- er “Wee Willie Winkle” bids fair to take nndis- turbed possession of the slage of the Olympic for (he balance of the season. ARMY INTELLIGEYCE. ance of the Recruiting “cr vice. WASHINGTON, D.

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR HOFFMAN AT SYRACUSE. Syracusé, N. Y., Oct. 5, 1870. Governor Hoffman, accompanied vy ten members of his stait, ved this evening, to lew the the Twenty-fourtu brigade to-morrow. During the evening the Governor was serenaded at the Empwe Wouse, and made @ short speech, in which he ignored politics, saying he had come purely in 2 milttary character. Me spoke ot’ tne greatness of the State, its vast imterests, and ihe ne- cessity of @ Wise poltcy with regard to the canals and railroads, 80 that the traffic of the great West be not diverted, Coming in a military capucity, he suid he had the highest precedent for brief speeches. His remarks were very enthusiastically received by the vast concourse gathered, and an informa! reception Was afterwards given him. A FATAL COINCIDENCE, On Tuesday alternoon Mr. Garreb Ackerman, & respected cluzen of Maths Bergen county, New Jersey, was returning home from we blacksmith’s shop, with an old sled, on which he had veen taking his wagon to be repaired, when tus horses rau away, throwing him agaist a stone wall at tie side of tac road, crushing in his skull and killing fim instantly. Mr. Acherman was sixty years of age and Was an elder in the Wyckoff church.

General Girant’s Actual Views on Minister Morton and the Siege of Paris—A Bo- gus Interviewer Exposed— The Contemplated Changes in the Cabinet—Minister Bancroft Not to be Withdrawn. WASHINGTON, Oct, 5, 1870, Another Bogus Conversation with the Prest- dent Exposed. A special telegram was transmitted hence cn Mon- day purporting to give a conversation with Presi- dent Grant on that day, and nas been copied into Various newspapers. On the article being shown to the President this morning by the writer of this despatch, and in the presence of another visitor, he satd he nad had no such conversation with any per- gon on the subject mentioned, and expressed his surprise that the publication should have been made. It was probable, however, that he replied to some one, In response to a question, that be was in good health, but-as to tnat part of the telegram in which the writer attributes to nim the remark that Senator Morton would be here in a few days to recelve his final instructions, the President said he had not even heard from that gentleman since the latter’s appolniment as Minister to England and his going West. Not having been in- terrogated on Monday about the claims of our citizens growing out of the Alabama depredations, nor with reference to the war in Europe, he, of course, could express no opinion, especially such as that represented, Apart from the account in the telegraphic communication, the President said he approved of Minister Washburne’s offictal conduct as reporied to the government. So far from uttering a doubt, as alleged, with reference to the Prussians being able to capture Paris, he to-day expressed the opinion that they would be successful, judging by all the military circumstances, The Proposed Changes in the Cabinet. In an effort this morning to get at the botiom ot all the rumors in circulation about changes in tie Cabinet, settled, to be settled and unsettled, your correspondent, in conversation with a very high oMicial, asked the innocent question, “What about Walbridge for the State Department?” The answer was:—“Well, sir, Geneval Hiram Waibridge has about as much chance of being struck by Nghtning,”” from which this much 1s to be inferred, that what- ever may be his luck in succeeding the gay and fas- cinating Robeson in the Lepartment of Ships he is not likely to step into the shoes of Hamilton Fish. He may be made Premier and he may be struck by ligutuing, and one ts just as probable as the other. ‘The truth 1s, there is no dependence whatever to be placed upon these oft. repeated stories of Cabinet changes, ‘ley are hearly always siarted by mere sensationalists or by gentlemen of the Pennsylvania persuasion, who have long been hankering after some ministerial crumbs oi comfort aud who create these stories to manufacture an artificial pressure upon the Presi- dent for a change. The exact status of Secretary Fish was exptained in these despatches some months ago. He remains in the Cabinet at the urgent solict- tation of the President, though he made three or four different attempts to withdraw, principally be- cause of the arduous duties of the office and because of a distaste for public life, ‘the Attitude of Russia. The war attitude of all the European govern. ments ts a subject of much discussion here at the present moment. ‘The position of Russia is particu- larly talked of, and there is a growing belief among the shrewdest loreigy ministers here that the Czar either ineans mischief to the sick man of Turkey, or that he is about to make an armed demonstration in the interest of peace. Some go so fer as to say that they have undoubted information tat the move- ment of troops in Russia ts to aid France vefore sue becomes too weak to assist in checking the amol- Hons designs of Bismarck and his friend William, Tre Wits rawal of Ministe: erort Not Contemp!ated, There appears to be as little trath ia the reported contemplated withdrawal of Bancroft from Berlin, The course pursued by Mr. Bancroft at his diieuit post, especially duiing the present complicated troubles in Kurope, has given the utmost satisfac- ton to the President, and it is safe to state that he may remain jn Prussia, without fear of removal, {il the end of his term. The Selicitor General Appointment.

Tue Mayor also compli- mented, 1n the highest terms, the yachting achieve- meats of Vice Commodore Bennett and Kear Com- modore Douglas, and concluded by proposing the health of Commodore Ashoury. ‘The latter responded by thanking the Mayor for his odlclal Cougratuiations, and exp his grati- cude for the continuous series of courtesies and honors which had been showered upon him since his arrival, He particuiariy alluded to the graceful manner in which Mr. Bennett had borne his defeat in a race 80 exceedingly close and over which there had been so much excitement. In all of the nu- merous races in which he had participated with the New York Yacat Syuadron, although there were alt Sorts Of matches and some very Complicated, there had dot been a single protest against the decision of the judges—a fact wnich he regarded as particularly creditable to American yecutmen. He hoped that the interchanze of courtesies and hospttalities be- tween the yachtmen of America fand of Eng- land, wbicd had followed the visit of Mr. Beanett, of Mr. Dougias, and of other American yachtmen to England, and of nunseif to this country, would be Kept up. Tie was certain Unat tiese amica- ne contests between the yachtmen of the two countries would do more to promote international good wiil than avy other agency. He hoped to be able to return the courtesies extended him by Ame- Tican yachtiuen at no distant day, He proposed the health of Vice Commodore Bennett, alluding bot to his gallantry and couriesy as a yachtman and to the distinguished position which he ueid in Journalisin. Mr. Bennett responded by modestly striving to disclaim the yachting honors accorded to him by his antagonist, and to transfer them to tue shoulders of Mr. Douglas, of the Sappho, whom he calied out, and who defended Mr. Bennett most gallantly against lus owu depreciation. Alderman Jerome sponded oriefly and effectively to a compliment to the Board which he represented; when Mayor Hall called upon Colonel Gourley, a member of the Kug- lsh Pariiament, and a friend of Mr. Ashbury, who responded 1 an eioquent manner, eulogizing the in- sUlutions Of this country, and ding to the great political reforms which mad ré ally been accom- plished tn England, tm sympathy wit American ideas and progress, Comimodore Stebbins then reviewed the past sea- son, and dwelt upon the great increase of interest which had been given to it by the presence of the Cambria, alluding to the fact that fourteen new yaehts were ordered for tne next season. ile sketched the rise and progress of the yacht squad- ron, Which was early recognized by the laws of the United States, and had been regarded as admirably adapted 10 suggest improvements in naval construc- tion, ‘The yacht squadron had performed a great work and one of nattonal importance.
