The speaker expressed himself as thankful that all the points involved in the Treaty of Washington had been peacefully and amicably set- tled. He regarded this a3 a great step towards the preservation of the peace of the world. Though, said the Marquis, the SO EOE between the two nations had been somewhat keen and eager, the feelings of the Regoles, as well as of the respective governments, had never become embit- tered.

Old English Comedy at the Fifth Avenue Theatre—“The Belle’s Stratagem.” The second play of the series of old comedy revi- valgat the Fifth Avenue Theatre—‘The Belle’s Stratagem’’—was produced last evening. There were evidences of greater thoroughness and a finer appreciation onthe partof the actors who ap- peared in the preceding play, and of rawness in those whose appearance was made for the first time this season in old Knglish comedy. Mr. Davidge, who took the part of Old Hardy, is, of course, to be excepted from an assertion 80 sweep- ing, for he played very well indeed, though he scarcely reached the ideal of the character. Mr. George Clarke, as Flutter, was more in harmony with his part than he was with the character of Goldfinch in “The Road to Ruin.” His dress was not so “lotid’’ nor his acting so boisterous as be- fore, and he showed a completer mastery of his pait. Mr. Crisp, as Saville, also appeared to better advantage than as Harry Dornton, but he has not et made it by any means clear that he ever will become an actor. The Doricourt of Mr. Lewis James was a failure. It lacked study of English manners and society at the period represented by the play, and was too pretentious to be accepted at the actor's at arent valuation of lis perform- ance. No Englishman ever yet behaved as Mr. James represents Doricourt, and we do not think any Englishman ever will so behave. The Sir George Toucnwood of Mr. Rockwell was not a per- formance of any great merit, its chief character- istic being that it was more American than English. ‘The same thing was noticeable in Miss Deitz’s Lady Frances, and eopeealy In Miss Fanny Davenport's Lettie, Hardy. e young ladies in the company of the Fifth Avenue Theatre Le ed better than the young men, and in “The le’s Strata- em” they again verified what seems to be an es- fablished rule; but though they played well there were notable weaknesses in the performances of all of them except Miss Fanny Morant, who gaye a just and effective representa- tion of Mrs, Rackett. Miss Deitz has not tie enunciation necessary for her part of Lady Frances, nor did she bring to it the same careful study which distingnished her Sophia; but she occasionally showed delicious bits of actin; till, her Lady Frances was Lay a ht American bride, and not a young married English lady of quality. A similar remark we have beiore indicated is even more ap- plicable to Miss Fanny Davenport's Letitia. She acted well; but in spite of the freedom and intelli- gence of her acting it was the American girl of 1872 and not the English girl of 1780 that we saw. The whole play was a paradox, being full of faults and et well done a8 a whole. Nobody rose to tlie full height of comedy and nobody fell to the lower deep of farce. Ina word, the first production of “The Belle’s Stratagem” this season was a smooth, easy performance, promising many better things and making us thankiul for what we have got, and yet not satisfying us that we got the very best which Mr. Daly’s company or this cast can give us. Lester Wallack ‘in Boston. [From the Boston Globe.) The part of John Garth is admirably adapted to show ir Lester Wallack’s I ging at their very best, and his performance of the character was a masterpiece in its subtle refinements, its earnest- ness, and, above all, in its broad naturainess. It ‘was brilliant in its versatility; in the consummate ease with which he ran the whole gamut of the human passions from gloom and misanthrophy up to airy mirth and light-hearted satire. Another of the striking characteristics of this splendid imper- sonation was its irank manliness. Some of the more pathetic scenes were exquisite in their tenderness, as where he nerves himself to remain deaf to his daughter's tearful plcad- ings for forgiveness, while the love in his heart prompts him to take her to hisarms. The struggie between paternal aitection and out ad ay ny, which sways first one way and then the other, until 1t culminates in one grand cry of un- controllable love, was a superb bit of acting. We could not in one short article enumerate the many beauties which mark Mr. Wallack’s presenta- tion of this part, from the stern and bitter invec- tives of the earlier acts to the graceful and deli- cate love-making that brings the piece to a close. It was rene, in all, artistic in all and masterly in all, and afforded one of those rare intellectual en- dormant which the long-suffering critic cau recall ith feelings of unalloyed pleasure, at es are Burning of the Steamship Mis- souri Off the Bahamas and Loss of Seventy-Six Lives. “NO ONE TO BLAME."

Key West, Fia., Oct. 30, 1872. ‘The steamer Missouri, of the Atlantic Mail line, wag burned at sea, in @ gale of wind, on the 22d inst., about twenty-five miles from Abaco, en route for Havana, via Nassau, Island of New Providence. TWELVE PERSONS WERE SAVED, whose names are as follows:—Geo. Thackrey, En- rique Yanco, Hubbard Tunnell, Ebenezer Saunders (colored), A. E. Outerbridge, James W. Culmer and John Reheis, passengers; William Jones, seaman; Samuel Cone, seaman; Patrick McGowan, waiter; Lewis Bohme, pantryman, and Richard Murphy, second pantryman. THE FIRB WAS DISCOVERED about nine A. M. in the pantry, and suddenly burst out in great volumes of flame amidships, spreading rapidly over the vessel, THE SIX BOATS WERE LAUNCHED immediately, and all but one were swamped at | once. The unfortunate people remaining on board | were compelled, on account of the fames, 10 JUMP INTO THE SEA. Those saved landed in one of the boats on Abaco about six P. M. of the same evening of the 22d, and were taken from there in a small schooner to Nassau. IT WAS A TERRIBLE SIGHT for those in the floating boat to see the passengers and crew in the water, clinging to the swamped poats and begging for assistance, There were at nie TEN LADIES ON BOARD, It is not known whether any of the missing have sidce been picked up. It is said that the captain used every effort to SAVE THE LIVES OF THE PASSENGERS, working most bravely himself with the hose to quench the fames, Three of the saved passengers are now here. This information was brought here this after. noon by the steamer Anna from Nassau TO THE BRITISH CONSUL, and communications were sent to the Atlantic ‘Mail Company’s office in New York, THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRB is as yet unknown. ‘Two of the boats of the ill-fated Missouri WERE BURNED ALONGSIDE THE VESSEL, and iors ino probably tans Qo the other have ever reached the shore, It is probabie that nots SINGLE LIVE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED had it not been for James W. Oulmer, a resident of Eleuthera, and a passenger on board. A new boat had been purchased in New York and PLACED ON DECK, but s@ the weather had been boisterous she had been sepured either by gripes or by chocks, When it was know. that THE YESSEL WOULD GO DOWN Culmer, with a fOW others, launched this boat, holding fast the paimer. When HE JUMPED OVERBOARD and swam to the boat,’ gleven others followed him, and even then, had it nof seen for Culmer, who Was acquainted with the management of a boat, and took charge and piloted her SAFELY THROUGH THE SURF, she would have been lost with the others. The three passengers who are here were bound to Havana, and wilt be forwarded to that port by John Jay Phitbrick, the agent of the Atlantic Mail Steamship line at this port, who has taken every measure towards securing their comfort.

The only additional information is the names of the twelve persons saved, who formed a portion of the passengers and crew. DESCRIPTION OF THE MISSOURI, The steamer Missouri was valued at $200,000, half of which was insured in marine insurance companies. Her cargo to Nassau consisted of dry goods, boots and shoes and butter and provisions. Her cargo to be debark- ed at Havana consisted of provisions, lard, hardware, sewing machines, hams, butter, apples, provisions, potatoes, onions, stationery and other miscellaneous articles. & VALUABLE CARGO. The cargo was valued at between four hundred and seventy and five hundred thousand dollars, It isnot yet known how much of her cargo is in- sured. The Missouri was 1,180 tons burden and was built of oak and chestnut at Mystic in 1862, She was metalled and copper fastened in August, 1871, The Missouri was an Al propeller of three decks, drawing seventeen feet of water. HER DIMENSIONS were, length 210 feet, 24feet beam, and depth of hold 23 feet. She had directing cylinder engines of 20 feet and 96 inches dimensions, and was brigan- tine rigged. She was overhauled in both boilers and machinery by the United States authorities just after the Metis disaster, and was pronounced by them to be in good condition. HER CHIEF ENGINEER, Mr. Islip, had just left the same position on the Sound steamer Escort, and this was his first trip on the ill-fated vessel. The Missouri had six first class boats for sea service, all in good condition, and her officers and captain were all menof ex- perience and skill. Each of the boats would hold twenty-five persons, or 150 in all, THE STEAMER ANNA, which brought the news of the disaster to Key West, is a small vessel belonging to the Atlantic Mati Steamship line, and is only used to transfer passengers and freight from the bar which lies off the town of Nassau to Nassau itself, At first the news was not believed; but the fact of the presence of the Anna having been confirmed by telegraph relieved all doubt at once. A TOUCHING INCIDENT. Acierk of Mr. A. E, Outerbridge's, who is saved, was nearly frantic last night at the supposed death of his employer, and rejoiced when he found on inquiry at the company’s offices in this city that he had been rescued from the burning wreck.

Aletter has been received at the General Land Office setting forth that a movement is on foot by the Israelites of Europe for settling a colony of Roumanfan and Continental Jews in America. It appears there is a company formed, possessing a paid up capital of $1,500,000, who contemplate settling in this country some 8,000 families, com- prising 40,000 persons, and the question is presented to the General Land Office whether the United States government will extend to the company a tile toa tract of land—say 250,000 acres—for this purpose, on condition that so many families should be located annually, it being the desire to have but one settlement. In reference to the subject Mr. W. W. Curtis, the Acting Commissioner, replies that there 1s no law providing for the disposal of public lands in the manner proposed, even if a compact body of land comprising such an area could be found, but shows how the title may be acquired by the heads of these families under existing laws, and furnishes the writer with the necessary circulars relative to the public lands of the United States. The fre- quent calls from Europe and elsewhere for large bodies of land for the purpose of founding colonies | would indicate that special legislation is necessary if such enterprises are to be encouraged.
