H. Montgomery, comedians and vocalists; Mr. Michael Connolly, mu- sical director... As yet the piece is not named in which the company Will make their début, Pivrh AVENUE THEATRE.—The old sketch of “The Savage and the Maiaen,” which used to set the old Olympic boys in a roar, has been revived by Mr. Daly, with all its humor unadulterated. Mrs. Gilbert and Lewis are the dramatis persona in this amusing sketch of Dickens’, which will explain It- gelf:— The manager clapped Dis hands as a signa! to pro- ceed, and the savage, becoming ferocious, made a slide towards the maiden, but the maiden avoided him in six twarls aud came down at the cnd of the last One, upon the very points of her toes, ‘his seemed to make some nnpression upon the savage; for, after a littic more ferocity and chasing of the maiden into corners, he began to relent, and stroked his Jace several times with his right thumb and jour > admivation of the maideu's beauty, ing upon the Impu.se of this passion he (the savage) be- an to hit himself severe thumps in the chest, and ‘0 exhibit other indications of being desperately in love, which, being rather & prosy proceeding, was very likely the cause of the maiden’s falling asleep. Whether it was or no, asleep she did fall, sound as a church, on @ sloping bank; and, the savage per- ceiving it, leaned his left car on his left hand, and nodded Bidewnry to intimate to all whom it might concern that she was asicep, and no shamming, Being left to himself the savage had a dance, all alone. Just as he leit of the maiden woke up, Tubbed her eyes, got off the bank and had a dance all alone, too—such A dance that the savage looked on in ecstasy all the while—and, when it was done, plucked from a neighboring tree some botanicat curiosity, resembling a small pickled cabbage, and offered 1t to the maiden, who, at first, woulda’t have it, but, on the savage shedding tears, relented, ‘Then the savage jumped for joy; then the maiden Jumped for rapture at the sweet smell of the pickled cabbage. Then the savage and the maiden danced violently t gether, and, finally, the savage droppea down on one knee, and the maiden stood on one leg upon his other knee; thus concluding the ballet and leaving the spectators in a state of pleasing un- certainty whether she would ultimately marry the savage Or retura to her friends. Woop’s Mcseum.—George Boniface, one of the most popular men iv the dramatic profession, ap- pears at this establishment this weck as Jean Val- jean in “Les Miserables,” assisted by Miss De Forrest as Fantine. The drama will be brought out in tae Most complete and liberal manner. It is bound to have @ long and successful run. OLyYMPIO.—Johnny Allen, the Dutch character ac- tor, commences an engagement at this house to- morrow night in his great specialty, ‘Schn-ider.” According to advices from Vienna we learn that Mr. Hayes’ agents, the Kiralfies, have made some very importaut engagements Jor the forthcoming revival of “tumpty Dumpty." ENCOURACEMENT TO ART.—We understand that Mr, Henry Schroeder, the airector of the American Conservatory of Music, proposes to award a prize of $69 and the honorary membership of the Conservatory to the composer of the best “Anthem” for mixed quarict, with organ accompaniment, The text can be selected by the composer. It must, of course, be suitaple for use In churches, The names of the competitors showid be sent in by the sth of July, and the com- position within a month from that dute. The manu- scripts will be carefully examined by three judges, and tne decision will be given within the month of September. An honorable mention will be mace in regard to the two next best compositions. Mr. Schroeder intends to repeat this annually with ex- tended prizes, if tus first invitation be well re ceived and brings forth satisfactory results. Fansy JanauscurK.—From an exchange wo learn the following interesting facts:—“The queen of the dramatic stage, Miss Fanny Janauschex, has left Darmstadt, where she has resided since her ar- rival in Europe, and is now having a brililant time all the wealthy, she aristocratic and the talented cf Ger- many congregate durmg the summer season, noml- nally to drink the waters, as with us at Saratoga, but really to renew, under rural surroundings, the social splendors of the winter. Among the leaders of the European world Janauschek is an acknow- leiged divinity, and if diamonds, jewelry and the moat sugared flattery could spoil ner, she would ave had her head turned long ago. But she is of so grand & mental organization that praise and censure have for her no other merit or demerit than truth or want of truth. She appreciates kindly the adverse criticism which is correct, and despises heartily the iuisome compliments of mean. ingless panegyric. And 80 thoroughly does she love her pro‘ession that even at Kassingen, the star and cynosure of princely eyes, she devotes four Lours a day to the intensest study of her new roles. These are Lady Dedtock, in the melodrama of hesney Wold,” dramatized from Dic.ons? “Bleak House,’’ and Pietra, in the tragedy of “Love. and Revenge.” ‘To obtain time for such labor, in spite of the whirl of aissipa- tion at Kissingen, she rises very early, has a cup of chocolate and a piece of fried rye brea, and then plunges mto the deepest study for the allotted time. Then she makes the superb demi-toiietic which ts necessary at Kissingen, and descends to hreakfast, to be fr the rematuder of the day as idle and pleasure-loving as if dramatic roles were une Known.

There has been seldom @ summer like the present one, during which music publishing has been al- most at @ standstill. The dog days are not favor- able to composers, and the patrons of the music publishers do not care to practice new works when the thermometer is among the nineties. The fall season, however, will be so prolific in the opera, oratorio and concert line that the music publishers Will undoubtedly be roused out of their present lethargy, and the city will be Mooded with musical works of allkinds.

THE SIORM AT LABRADOR. Farther News from the Scenes of the Catase trophe—Hundreds of Families Left Hemelese and Hungry—Over Fifty Scheeners Swept Away. Sr. Jouns, N. P., July 7, 1871. By the arrival of the surveying steamship Gul- nare, which was despatched to Labrador imme- diately on the reception of the news of the disas. trous storm which blew over that coast on the 13th of June, we learn a heartrending account of the horrors which are associated with that catastrophe, From the date of its occurrence unul the 3d inst. we had no communication with the land of the Esquimaux. ‘The Gulnare reached the settlement in Labrador known as “Indian Tickle” early on the mornmg of the oth inst. There was hardly a house, store, fish- ing flake, skiff or tree m the settlement leit whoie. ‘The wharves were in many cases entirely swept away, and the few that remain on their own site are Warped and very much damaged. Trees of great size were strewn on the seashore in a fantastic man- ner. In fact, there was hardly a feature of the harbor as it appeared before the hurricane that could be now recognized, But the saddest facts of allin connection with inis most grave catastrophe were the utter destitution of those leit living in the desolaied settlement and the long record of the killed and drowned. Over fifty schooners were swept from their anchorage near the shore and never since heard of The accident involves tne lives of nearly three hundred men, as each cratt Kept two or three hands 0a board at night to watch the fish taken ou the previous day. The harbor was filled with the wailmg of widows and orphans. Famulles lost their entire summer suppiy and were leit utterly destitute. About three weeks alter ums catastrophe befel the unfortunate fishers the supply of provisions had diminished to such an extent as to compel them to live on a limited allowance. In view of these circumstances the captain of the Gulnare, after giving into the charge of a few trust- worthy settlers a large amount of provisions (though by no means sufficient), started for St, John’s in order to procure ample and immediate as- sistance for the pitiabie creatures of “Indian Tickle,” Tac Harbor and other northern settlements of Lavrador, NAVAL INTELLIG NCE.

Rome, dune 26, 1871. Hardly have the jubilee festivities ended ana bad udings from abyoad are borne to the successor of St. Peter. OMicial announcements are made by the very three Powers upon which the Pope most relied—namety, Beust, Bismarck and Thiers—thas they cannot intervene in the affairs of Italy, and that they virtually recognize the guarantees offered by the Italian Parliament to the head of the Church by ordering their respective ambassadors to accom- pany the King to his new capital, These state- ments, which have deen transmitted through tho accredited diplomatists to the Holy See, have caused great aMiction anu indignation atthe Vaticau. [ am informed on reliable authority that the entire Court aud conclave of cardinals have been thrown into an uproar of turmoil! and confusion at secing themselves thus cut adrift m the temporal bark to breast THE SEA OF ITALIAN POLITICS— the cunning and good wil! of Minister Lauza and his colleagues. Even Cardinal Antonelli, noted for coolness and dexterity, is represented as having Jost his diplomatic equilibrium amid these crushing decisions, taken without due consultation with him, of which fact he complained in conversation with those who have visited him in the Inst few days, The consternation among the temporal hang- ers-on of the Pope’s sovereignty is all the mere intense, as the blow has been dealt suddenly and was reaily unexpected by them, for they firmly ve- lieyed that a polley of temporization had been adopted, as it were, for their special benefit. Monsigneur De Merode 1s represented as taking things very comfortably; but then he is an inter- loper from Belgiui, had been ousted long from all lucrative employment at Court, and is unpopular from the immense gains which he has already secured from his adventuresome visit and s0- Journ at THE HEAD CENTRE OF CATHOLICISM. Zapp), Kanzler, ex-generals, and all the mili- tary and etvil underlings, gendarmes, zouaves and employés who have been cooped up In the Vatican courtyard and stables waiting 1m- patiently for the hour of restoration to their lost dig- nities and powers, are given over to tears anda hhowhng disappoiutment. Meantime, the “capital” preparations go on, and, on the 1st of July—in one short week now--one of the most interesting and important problems of the age will receive a solu- tion In some tangible shape virtually, if not with all that due solemaity of form which an event, concern- ing as it does so many millions, an‘! destined to pro- duce such a great change throughout the world, should receive and will receive after a short lapse, KING VICTOR EMMANUEL COMING, The King, we have it on official authority, will be here on the morning of the 2d, with his Cabinet Ministers and the entire diplomatic corps, and will imaugurate his coming into the new capital bya council tobe held at the Quirinal Palace, a dinner at Court, a grand reception of notabilitics aud a grand military review, after which he will be of. As slim as this instalment of the ‘‘capital’’ appears, taken mm connection with the afflictions and announcements made at the Vatican, it nas suMccd to enthuse the hearts of the citizens, who begin to give evidence of genuine confidence in the dura- bility of their changed lot. THE PAPAL COURT consists almost exclusMely of Italians who desire a temporal rule in Italy, not because the good of the Church demands it, but because, as Italians, they have an ardent desire to rule over other Italians. There are two parties who have long objected to this state of things—the people so ruled, and the rest of the Catholic world, which have always com- piained that they had not a suilicient rep- resentation of thelr own element at Rome. The cry of the German residents at this moment fs that a@ few Italians, commencing with the Infallibie Pope, are laying down to them the law witha rod of iron, Atl the Cardinals of the Holy Coilege, cnicf priests and rulers of the Holy See, are natives of Italy, to the manor born; many of them have never been out of the country. De Meroue, who ts not so important a personage, and Father Bekx, general of the Jesuit Order, are the chief exceptions to the avove. The preparations betng made for the ta- stalment of the new capitalship, and tue visible signs for the national festivities and rejoicings, are pushing all religious matters and questions into the back part of the stage— indeed, almost out of sight. ONE 18 IN ROME AND WONDERS straightway where the monks, pricsts, processtonists and other religious perronages have all gone, for one no longer sees them walking in the strects; they are frowning on ‘the capital,” and the tatter is frownimg on them; #0 they keep close within doors, and the city bas its laical character restored after many @ long year. The only tokens remaining now visible of the old rég:me are photographs of Pio Nono and of the specimen uniforms worn by the late zouaves, exhibited in the Windows and Jook! like 89 many skeletons of a century back, so many have een the changes here and elsewhere in one short twelvemonth of the Europcan whirligig. Yet, Withal, the spiritual and the temporal authort- ties being separated, at last the two invivlabilities find themselves face to lace—His Majesty, Victor Emmanuel, has for his vis-dt-vis His Holiness Pius Lx, Tue Tiber rans between them, so there is no likell- hood of either eek npon tie toes of the otuer, aud beside the laws of Italy declare each inviolable, itis worthy of note that PIO NONO took a very hopefal view of his cireumstaz speeches he delivered to the Cathol who were here to congratulate iu parucus Jariy Was this the Cliaracter of the remarks be ad- dressed to a deputation of his fellow countrymen, whom he mformed that for the recovery of what he had lost ne relied iittie, if at all, on men, bat on “a great miracle, which will cause all to wonder"— “ungran miracolo che Sara siupire tit? Whatever destiny may be reserved for Rome, it Is certain that THE ROYAL, COURT wil be a gayer, more luxurious and modern specta- cle than that of His Moltness. ‘The Pope's para- phernaiia was old, pecuitar, feudal and frugal; his tarnouts were shabby, but in keeping with the mid- die ages Which they represented, and things deserv- Jng of Cosmopolitan gaze; but there was It‘tle solid pleasure or ainusement about his fixings and dojngs or on his premiscs. During the ceremonies the other day I had a short moment of TALK WITH OARDINAL ANTONELII, while a deputation of Germans were waiting tielr tura to go before His Holiness, and it occurred to me to ask him if the view he gave some tine since 3m an inierview in regard to the doctrine of “von Possumnus” was 80M Liat which guided the conduct of the Church since the formal offer of the ‘naran- tees? made by the Parllament. He repiied:—"We uot possibly have auything to do with those peo- owed to stay In Kome we will be compelied to yemain in the Vatican, and never will His Holiness he seen in the strects to perform those grand cere. momes of the Church usually held, for we cannot accept their ‘GUARANTEES? im any form whatever.” All curions sight-seers and tourists, therefore, may as well set It down in the tablets of thelr note books that unless they can manage, diplomatically or otherwise, to oust Victor Eiamanuet from Roine they will never more be able to see Pius IX. promenading in bis gilded coach ana #1x, wiih & white mule inthe lead.
