‘which we have recommended. So generous a concession on their part as giving up their seats for at least one or two seasons and pay- ing a3 much as, or, if need bo and the spirit move, even more than outsiders, would be ina measure equivalent to the large subveation which European governments find it abgo- lutely necessary to make in order to sustain opera in their capital cities, A rare opportunity fs now offered by the Franco-Prussian war fer trying to revive opera in New York, The artists who were engaged for the present season in Paris have been dispersed. With ethers abroad and in our midst they would make it easy for Maple- son or some other energetic manager, if pro- perly encouraged, to secure for a season at the Academy an incomparuble troupe. The list out of which he might select comprises +uch soprani as Adelina Patti, Nilssen, Lucca, Volpini, Vitali, Neri-Baldi, fms di Murska, Vin Zandt, Kellogg, Carvalho (for whom “aust” was written by Gounod), Cabel, Tiet- jeus and Marie Sass; such contralti as Corsi, ‘Trebelli-Bettini, Viardot-Gareia, Moreasi, Wertheimber; such baritones as Graziani and Faure; such tenom as Wachtel, Fraschini, Niceolini and Tamberlik, and bassi by the bushel, not to mention very meritorious artists, of foreign and native birth, who are already here. Eliminating from this imposing array of names all which belong, however familiar and famous, to the melancholy troep of “faded glories,” and giving in place of wornont pieces those which, if not precisely new, shall have here the charm ef novelty, an opera manager might reasonably success, Opera, in ils palmiest days in New York, was never brought out as it might be now. With a complete quartet, with a double quartet, with an entire orchestra, With appropriate eos- tumes and scenery, it might surpass anything yet witnessed in this cily and enable New York to emulate even Paris. But the requisite expense of s0 vast an undertaking would be too heavy a burden for any manager unless he were heartily seconded by the liberality of both the stockholders and the public, Thus nly can we hope for the revival of opera and its ultimate naturalization in New York. hope for Some of the E ects of ‘Trade. ” Recent returns of the British Board of Trade reveal some curious effects of the war upon trade. Of these the most important is the effect which the war has had upon the carry- ing trade. In the months of Atigust and Sep- tember, 1869, 752 vessels, of 196,419 tons, entered British ports under ihe German flag. In August and September, 1870, there entered the same ports under the German flag only 151 veasels, of 38,953 tons. In August and Sep- ember, 1869, there ‘“cleured from” British ports under the German flag 1,167 vessels, with 261,892 tons. In 1870 these figures were reduced to 111 vessels, with 2 tons. The carrying trade of Germany is, in fact, practi- cally annihilated. In spite of all the disasters which have befallen France the French mer- cantile marine has enjoyed exceptional pros~ perity. In August and September, 1869, 416 French vessels entered British ports, with 40,372 tons. In 1870, for the same period, the vessels were 405, the tons 50,782. In that period in 1869 663 vessels, with 78,832 tons, cleared from British ports for France. In 1870 the number bad risen to 862, the burden to 100,759 tons. Prussia, weak in war ships, has fost; France, strong in war ships, has pre- served her mercantile mayne. The same results are visible in the returns of the direct trade of Great Britaiu with the two countries. 1369, 1,411 vessels, tonnage 229,406, arrived from French ports. In 1870 the number had the War Upon declined to 1,351, but the tonnage had Increased to 242,144. In 1869 British vessels leaving British —_—ports for French ports numbered 2,172; the tonnage was 370,373. In 1870 the number of vessels was 2,394, and the tonnage 427,213. The direct trade of Great Britain with Germany reads the same lesson. In August and Sep- tember, 1869, there arrived in British ports and under the British flag trom Germany 709 vessels, with 120,945 tons. In 1870 the num- bers were reduced to 366 vessels, and the ton- mage to 91,879. In 1869 1,622 vessels of 848,132 tons burden sailed from British perts for Germany. In 1870 the number was 296, the tennage 80,116. The comparative decline in the direct trade between Groat Britain and Germany is made up to Great Britain by the increased shipments which are made to Hol- and and Denmark, through which neutral Powers Germany is drawing her ’ supplies. The vessels that cleared for Deamark in Au- gust and September, 1869, measured only 79,189 tens. In the present year the tonnage, almost doubling itself, has risen to 153,441. The shipments to Holland for the same period Measured in 1869 131,532 tons, against 199,709 tons in 1870, There are many lessons which may be drawn from these figures; but there is one lesson which we as a nation ought to learn, and learn at once. It is that ‘‘a nation strong at sea may maintain her commerce un- impaired in war, whereas a nation without a Navy cannot go to war without directly sacri- ficing her commervial interests.” Of this ex- perience we have already had enough. But we have not been apt scholars. LOUISIANA ELECTION RIOTERS. The Baton Rouge and Donaldsonv: on Trial at New Oricans, EW ORLEANS, Nov. 21, 7870, ‘The trial of the Baton Rouge prisoners continues.

A “SHINY GAME ALL AROUND, A Three Cent Trick Detects Burglars and Incen¢iaries—The Dark Side of a Volunteer Fire Department. POUGHKEEPSIE, Nov, 20, 1870, On Friday of last week two young men, named Ira Baker and L.. L. Harris, accosted a colored man from Rhinebeck, on Main street, and commenced playing the ‘three cent game” on him, which was operated as follows:—From Baker's side coat pecket a dirty-looking string dangled, Buker's face being turned = away = = from = Harris) and =the col- ored man. Harris apparently ana to all ap- pearances secretly pulled the string out of Baker's pocket, the colored man watching the movement, Upon the hitherto concealed end ef the string was a bit of leather, closely relled, This Harns unrolled, and took from ita three cent piece, and put it to his mouth, and then quietly slipped the string back into Baker’s pocket. In pulling his hand away he purposely attracted Baker's attention, who turned suddenly, when Harris asked him what he was doing with that string. He replied in substance that he found tt on the strect, and that there was a piece of leather‘on the end with a three cent piece In it, The colored man, whose name is Jackson, thinking that Baker baa had a good joke played on him, commenced laughing, when Baker asked hin what he was laughing at. Jackson replied, “You hain’t got no three cent piece in there’? whereupon Baker offered to bet him ten dollars ne ha@. Jackson told him he did not want to win his money, but he knew he had not. One werd brougit on another, Baker stoutly pressing his offer to bet, when the colored man put up a ten dollar Con- federate nete. The leather was opened, and of course another three-cent piece was found in a secret, enclosure. The,colored man, seeing how easily he weuld have Jost nad be put up good money, staried to go away, when the confidence men made a grad for his watch and chain, and, tearing tt from his vest, started on & run up Matin street, the entire \ransaction having been witnessed by a Mr. Van Ben- schoten, who had been watching the partie: through the window of Jewett’s shoe store. The police were notified, and soon after both Harris and Baker were arrested and the watch and chain found on them. They were at once lodged in jall and yes- terday morning were taken before Recorder Robert E. Taylor. The court room was densely crowded, and during the examination Baker took out the string and leather and gave an illustration of tne fine game. ‘The Recorder, near the close of the proceedings decided to hold both of the pii- soners, whereupon Harris was sent to Judge Joseph F. Barnard to have his ball fixed. His iriends expected a light bail; but when the facts were laid before the Judge he pronounced tie case one of daring higuway robbery and put the bail at $2,500. This was a scorcher, but it had to be taken in, In the meantime Baker received ASTOUNDING INTELLIGENCE, At the Recorder’s Court, when his counsel asked to have bis bail fixed also, the Recorder replied, ‘Hold on, Lhaven’t got through with him yet,’ and then turning to the prisoner said, “Baker, you are also charged with robbing Wetzel’s shoe store, in Wash- ington street, and | shall sect your examination down for Monday morning. This plece of news made the prisoner wince. He had not expected it. Information tn the possession of the police shows that Baker and a man named Fullard entered the store in question, took a number of pairs of boots and rojis of calfskins, which they carried to the residence of Mrs. Harris in Water street, where they packed the property in @ trunk and ai night carried lt away. MORE SERIOUS CHARGES Wil also probably be made against the prisoners. Jt is thought that Baker and Fullard were the originators of the recent incendiary fires im this city, especially the burning of Parker's mills aad Underwood's feed store. Both Mr. Parker and Mr. Underwood are aldermen of the city, and both have spoken determinedly and openly in relation to abuses in our Fire Department, and especialiy m relation Vo certain transactious in the house of Engine Com- pany No.1. Baker and Fullard were *‘ranners’”’ attached to that company. They have made tne house their rendezvous at ail times of night, and on the nights of the referred to were seem hang- ing about at al! hours. From all of the above facta it would seem that Baker's “little game’? may give starting developments.

Lina Epwin’s THearre.—Excellent management, and especially the exercise of a judicious discrimina- tion of the selectton of the picces produced, have contributed to render this establishment one of the most popular res in the city, Indeed, Miss Ed- Win’s theatre must fairly be ranked as among New York's standard institutions of theatrical entertain- ment. All the difficulties attending the organization @f a first class burlesque company sem to Lave been surmounted, and now, having bravely stemmed the current of public opinion, the theatre stands upon its merits, well deserving the refined patron: age that has recently been bestowed upon it.

Tak Park THRATRE, BROOKLYN,—The favorite little Park theatre, in our sister city, Was crowded Jast evening with an attentive and appreciative audience to hail the re-appearance of the charming Miss Conway in the leading part of Leonie in the military and operatic drama of the same name, The scene and action of this romantic play are laid in the early period of the first French republic, and on the frontier of Germany and France. Leonie first appears as a poor vivandiere of the Fifth French regiment of the line, and becomes the wife of Theodore, @ private soldier, “by the roll of the drum,’ according to the usages prevailing at that day. ‘She, disclaiming ail affection for the poor son ef the ranks, ls afterwards verbally released by the generosity and nobleness of heart of Theodore, but 1s touched by his manliness in relieving her from the immediate consequences of her upwilling union.

Jited in Germany and a Mean Revenge Taken in New York, Two yeara ago in @ village about a dozen miles from Baden Baden, m Germany, Louisa Staif, then a fair young girl of cighteen summers, was seduced by one Theodore Uste, a bach- elor of at least twice her years. They shortly after emigrated to this country, but Louisa’s affection was of the changeful sori; and meeting a younger and more attractive indi- viduat than Theodore she bestowed it on him. Uste soon made the discovery and taunted Miss Stalf witb her inconstancy. The latter didn’t seem to mind, though Theodore vowed revenge. Last might Louisa was returning from No. 310 Broadway, @ restaurant, where she has been em- ployed as @ Waitress, and when in Leonard street, hear Broadway, was met by Uste, who, with an oath in guttural German, stabbed her with a sharp knifefin the breast and arm, “skedaddling” as fast as he could after committing the deed. Oficer Dorsey, of the Sixth precinct, came up as the young girl lay bleeding on the sidewalk and took lier to the station house. Search was subsequently made for Uste, and he was arrested. Miss Stalf was taken to the Centre Street Hospital, where her wounds were attended io.

In the first place it was not, as Claimed, the first peace meeung held on thi Continent, for the Universal Peace Union, of which he had the honor to be Vice president of tne Ameri- can Branch, held it first meeting with a peace object im 1867.
