Notably among these were Mics Pateman as Mademoiselie .Maroo, and Miss De Bar a8 Marie, a poor orphan. “The Marbie Heart” has always attractiveness enough to draw the public in a fair average number, but in all pro- babluty it will be withdrawn in a few weeks, Marre SEEBACH.—This admirable representative of German art has met with gratifying success in the provinces since the conclusion of her engage- ment at the Stadt Theater, Last night she played “Gretchen” at the Boston theatre to @ three thou- sand dollar house and every seat has been secured for her farewell matinée there to-day.

DOMINGO. Herald Special Report Via @ Havana. Defeat of Generals Cabral and Luperon by the Forces of Baez. Loss in Killed, Wounded and Miss- ing Not Very Heavy. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, April 5, 1871. A severe battle was fought near Azua, St. Domingo, on the 7th of March between the forces of Cabral and Valentin Baez. The opposing armies consisted of ten generals and about 400 troops on each side. General Timothy Orgando marched from the line of Neyba and attacked the forces of Baez, driving them before him, but Cabral failing to act in concert the whole movement proved a failure, The official report of General Baez to the Minister of War, in which he claims a com- plete victory, states that Cabral’s infantry fled to the woods and were followed by the Domi- nican Generals Wenceslao, Figueras, José Jimenez Bejo and Lucas Jiminez, with some officers of the staff, to the river side. Cabral abandoned all his provisions and bag contain- ing five thousand dollars in Haytien currency, He had many wounded, but left only two dead on the battle fleld—onea Haytien and the other a nephew of Marcus Adan. Two prisoners and fifteen horses were captured, one a native of Haytii Among the ten generals composing Cabral’s forces, three— named Camolien, Antoine Colas and Boube— are Haytien, General Luperon was defeated on the 17th of March at a place called Partido, in the jurisdiction of Savaneta. Many Haytiens and Dominicans were killed—among them Severo Gomez, who has thus fallen a victim to Luperon’s ambitious schemes. Among the prisoners captured were the rebel Colonels Andres Lozaro and Sylvester Cabrera, Gene- ral Ignacio Resvira (mortally wounded) and Manuel Rodriguez, the assassin of General Joven Barriento, Four hundred dollars in money, fourteen horses, eight needleguns, many carbines, cloaks, clothing and twelve loads of ammunition were captured during the flight of Luperon’s foress. The latter even lost his seal of state. Owing to alleged complicity with Luperon, Francisco Coll, a Cuban, living at, Puerto Plata, has been expelled the country. General Valentin Perez also claims a vic- tory over Orgando on the line of Neyba. Cabral’s friends at St. Thomas acknowledge he was defeated, but say that only his vanguard was engaged; but it is the the general epinion that Baez’s forces had the advantage in all the encounters, MEXICO. Charges Against the United States Minister Groundless—Close of the Extra Session of Congress—Election of Juarez Conceded— Romero Leaves the Ministry and Goes to Washington~The Presidential Canvass— Assassinations—Discovery of a Practicable Canal Route by Way ef Tehuantepec, City or Mexico, March 38} ‘Via Havana, April 5, 1871, The charges made by the press opposed to Juarez, that the United States Minister and his Secretary of Legation were interfering in the elections, proved groundless and a mere election trick of the Ler- distas. ‘The extra session of Congress closes to-morrow. The fustonists have accomplished nothing, and the re-election of Juarez is conceded. Seflor Romero will leave the Ministry in conse- quence of hia unpopularity; but, as he has proved a faithful adherent of Juarez, he will be sent again as Minister to Washington, and the more readily, as it 4 admitted on all hands that he is the best man for the place. The Presidential canvass is attended with daily increasing excitement, and outrages are committed by both political parties. In some of the provinces the citizens are threatened with imprisonment and violence if they do not vote with the party which happens to be dominant. The capital, however, is unusually quiet under the circumstances, Several assassinations are reported in Guada- ges all of which were committed in one day. The cause is as yet unascertained. ‘The discovery of a practicable route for the Te- huantepee Canal occasions much rejoicing here, PORTO RICO.

The revolution continues, and the serious ."6sults Of this fratrici¢al War are every day becomi'g more apparent. The canty is in a deplorable atate;’ for, with the wholesale appropriation of all kinds of stock, oxen, sheep and horses by both Colorados and Blancos, for whieh the owners receive no remuneration, our Estamieros are dis- heartened, and many wiio came out to the country a few years since, with ‘bright prospects of fortane making in sheep farming, are now glad to retire, with the transfer of thety all, to free them- selves from thetr importunate creditors. Business in the city and in the country towasis completely paralyzed, the larger part of the vessels which ar- rive being ordered to Buenos Ayres for a market. Sales of imports are dimicult to effect, and confined only to the most requisite articles of dafly consump- tion, ‘The probabilities of peace or a settlement of the diicuities tor whtcn they are contending sppears more distant than ever. Some thought that the ru- Mors of a settlement (which were talked of after the Blanco defeat at the battle of Sance) in which ex- President Mitre, General Martinez, and other influ- ential persons had taken an interest, would result in something; yes not only have all attempts at Peace been frustrated, but the late am- nesty proclamation of the government sanc- tioned by. the Oamaras, | pardoning all in arms against the constituted authority and reinstating those officers who held a commis- ston in the army, but deserted to Join the rebels, has been availed of by a very limited number. They seem determined to fight it out, Meanwhile the re- sources of the country are curtailed. A considera- ble part of the revenue collected in the interior or camp districts falls to the Blancos, or revolutionists, and is appropriated by them, The government is much pestered for means to defray current ex- penses, and the constant rumor of an additional emission of paper serves to keep gold up. ‘The breaking out of the yellow fever in Buenos Ayres has caused a stoppage of communication with the neighboring republic, A quarantine of twelve days has been imposed upon all vessels arriving from said port, This ameunte to @ prohibition, and the greater part of the boats which formerly plied in the river are now laid up, waiting the removal of the quarantine. Acoeunts of the disease in Buenos Ayres were at first conflicting, but now there can be no shadow of doubt that it is the vert. table yellow fever, the last report of the number of deaths from the ase being sixteen, and by tele- fam re learn that the ig increasing. ithe th of this city continues good, and as col we r Will seb in next month it 1s vhat we may escape the danger. ‘The latest news from Buenos Ayres rega the Entre Riano revolution is favorable for the federal government. After the battle of Naembi, in Vorri- entes, when Lopes Jordan was signally defeated by Baibenne, Governor of the province, the dispersed forces were pursued hotly by the Argentine army, which has been divided into three divisions, anc large numbers of prisoners were captured, together with arms and ammunition. The commander ol Jor- dan’s infantry, Sefior Pelavecino, has surrendered to the arqoasine forces, with a number of oillcers and flags. The telegram states that the war in Entre Rios can be considered finished. ‘The action of the revolution in the sister republic will no doubt have its salutary effects in this country, since ,the revolutionary faction here are sympa- thizers with the Jordanites, and have from time to time reoetved assistance from them. The Blancos, after their late disasters, sent commussioners to Entre Rios with the view of ebtaining additional aid. The result of this mission is not yet kaown; at any rate its effects are not seen, for the Blanco forces ave scattered through the country are inactive, The Carnival‘passed off quietly this year, with its usual accompaniments of masked balls, water and bon-bon throwing. three days—19th, 20th and 2ist—were celebrated In this way, all busl- ness belug suspended and every one, young and old, going heartily 1n for fun, * The 22d, Washington's Birthday, was suitably commemorated by a salute of twenty-one guns from the United States sloop Portsmouth and the otner war vessels in port.

Legislation at Albany tas always been® ‘ A VERY COSTLY NECESSITY for tho State, nut tt is quite likely—judging from the way the present sesston has’ been conducted so-far— that the little bills the taxyayers will have to'foot at the close of the present season of legislative Patavering will open the eyes of a great many inno- cent people, who had an idem three months ago that the democrats were determined this year to make a splendid record for economy. Jacobs, of Kings, cannot but be @ good guthority as to what the little bills will amount to, for he is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in which the dollars and cents that the people must pay, whether they Itke it or not, are supposed to be scrutinized very, very carefully between drinks, Once in a while this session, in the House, he has “gone” for some resolution or other that called for the expenditure of a small sum of money for some purpose or other not actually re- quired: to further either the ends of legislation or THE WBLFARR OF THE PEOPLE at large, but somehow or other the big ‘jobs’? never received at his hands the treatment some folks were under the opinion they should have received. He, however, to-day showed pretty conclusively that he and his commit. tee confrdres were getting scared at the way the Uttle bills were growing larger and larger every day. It was Alvord who unintentionally drew the Ways and Means Committee out of their lair, and he did so by offering a resolution to print twenty-five copies of the annual report of the American Instt- tute for each ‘member, oMcer and reporter of the House. Jacobs set his face dead against this resolu- tion, and while opposing it let out a few secrets as to what the people would have to pay by and by for the suppert of SECOND HAND BOOK STANDS in New York and cisewhere. “Let me tell this House,” said he, ‘that this report has cost nearly $20,000 a year already, and that it is only a sample of many of the bills which the people will have to pay to gratify members who have books printed at the ublic expense to oblige certain associations, or dividu: or friends,” .Thi jartling informa- tion rather took the members aback, and Jacobs thought, while he had the chance, he would con- tinue, 80 he went on:—‘Let me inform this House that the bills for print the red books tl Wil reach $30,000, inst $15,000 last year, the agricultural reports will cost $20,000, and the entire bul for printing this year will reach $400,000, The mere mention of the Agricultural reports seemed to excite the risibilities of every member on the floor, and the effect of Jacobs’ remarks came well nigh being destroyed by the general hilarity. Long Jim Nelson of Rockland, however, has a hearty hatred of theoretical farmers wuo talk about the advantage of deep ploughing without ever FOLLOWING THE PLOUGIT itself, or who never fellow the example of Hawthorne, at Brook Farm, and make life worth living for by every once in a while; ae eee tn hand, testing their strength of arm and stomach by demolishing @ manure heap of long standing, and he came to the rescue. “Why,” sald he, in nig halt-Western sort of style, after he had spoken about the resolution and 1 = probable effects in a political cam- paign, “Why, talking about these agricul- tural reports, the men who want them printed and whose doings and sayings are emblazoned in them, could not make a hoe-handile if they tried. They are alot of fellows who can talk all day about how a cabbage coughs to grow and who cultivate squashes and pumpkins un city sidewalks.” Indeed, an tlius trious authority of our State Agricultural Society ts said to have written to a member of a like society in Michigan a vegetable letter some time ago in which us gave the following learned piece of iutelli- gence:— THE SAUSAGE TREE WILT GROW. anywhere south of uhe Arctic Circle, but its roots must be covered in winver. The same illustrious authority advised a fellow savant that in South Blis- souri broom corn would grow well, but he always thought 1¢ was better to plant the plain kind and not that kina with red and biue handles, This terrible cut at the Agricultural society brought down the house, and for several minutes even its best friends were 80 overcome with laughter that Nel- son himself had to stop to look around him and see whether he was really in the Legislature or at a Rockland county mass meeting. When he got a chance to be heard again he held up a paper in his hand and continued—“I have no doubt but that when General Alvord and his friends next fall go into active training for the elections they will show papers like these, or agricultural books like those we have all seen, with big pictures of MR. JONES’ COW and somebody else’s buck or oull, and tell the peo- ple how much the democratic Legislature made them pay for the printing of taem.’’ This short speech had & effect, and the resolution came very near being defeated, the vote Shelly standing Hfty-six for to fifty-two against it. Philosopher Greeley, who takes such an interest tn the American Institute, may as well, before itis too late, make @ note of this vote and show his radical friends, in @ double leaded editorial, how extravagant the democratic Legiaarare ls when it-votes away 80 much of the pubiic money for the benefit of assocta- tions, and even in which in whom he sees everything that js admirable in the cabbage line and everything that ought to make St. Lawrence county farmers all the more radical. TRE ARTFUL DODGE GAMES by which good bills are killed and bad ones passed, and which are resorted to every year, have at last been commenced in full earnest. The frat open and above board example of the first move in this direction was given last evening by the members, who sneaked the Wharfage vill out of the House into the Senate, and to-day the d Ts went to work with redoubled. vigor, encouraged doubtless by the tinkering so successtully practised by une head and front of Prospect Park ring last night. Every member who has been in the Legislature long enough to know that rascality is not always de- gpised any more than anything else when It Is suc- cessiul, feels that.he has ten times more chance Row tohave a doubtful seheme sneaked through both houses than he hashad at any time befere during the session. The reason for this is avery plam ouc. Every member who has A LITTLE JOB OF 1113 OWN— and all members, with one or two exceptiohs, have one or more—has eyes and ears for that alone at present, He seos nothing else, cares for nothing else, Other bills may be read and voted upon; the individual situation remains unchanged. Mr. Tit, from a rural county, may feel, when he votes for a certain measure Jathered by Mr. Tat, of the cliy of New York, that he doesn’t know exactly what he votes for; but that makes no difference as long as. he does know that he lias a pet. scheme-of his own. et to show itself, which Mr, Tat might kill if ne wanted to, and 80, like @ good, honest, upright representative of the people, ne votes ag his interest demands. Two tustances of this kind of thing came up tn the lower house to-day, but, as the iil-starred fortune of the backers of the measures concerned would have it, Littlejohn, Denny Burns Qnd Husted were uot tm geod hamer, and soex- posed the dodges. One wag a bill increasing the capital stock Of @ certain moneyed corporation. A sneaking provision, or rather a sentence, dovetailed between two others that fooked ail right, actu- ally repealed the usury law. ‘his was tne muk i the cocownut, mot to say anything aoout one provision that would have. allowed every money broker to set up a bank ing inatitutton on his own hook, The other dodge was Aen re & bill giving trustees of sav fogs banks a@ salary, and another was to ha @ bill put be its Uyrd reading which, had actually, several wooks ago, been killed outright oy a formal vote of the House. It will thus be seen that, from this time forward, the very, very fow members who earnestiy desire. choke down every species of legisiative rascality that dares to show itself, openiy or covertly, Will have their hands.full, and that they need to be incessantly on thelr guard unui the hour when the Speaker's gavel, next Saturday week, wit have consigned the present Legislature to oblivion.
