Dramatic Art in Europe—A Suggestive Comparison. The drama in Europe, and especially in England, is rapidly falling below the Anterican standard of dramatic art. We have still a few actors who do many things well and some opportunity and study, our young actors and actresses must become ornaments to their pro- fession. The same things cannot be said of the English stage. In the London journals we find plenty of praise, but our own experi- ence with many of the actors who are so lavishly commended forbids the acceptance of an over-sprightly Sir Frettul Plagiary in a wersion of ‘‘The Critic,’’ where only a rivulet of the original text meanders through a meadow of modern margin. No attempt is made to revive either the manners or fashions of the past, and a play once called Sheridan's is made the basis of feoble puns and slipshod acting. This is in itself such a liberty with the fine old comedies of the last century as to indicate a painful decay of the boasted British drama. But even as an actor Mr. Mathews is mot vastly superior to John Gilbert, Charles [Fisher or William Davidge, and it must be ‘ pemembered that he is the oldest and most famous camedian on the English stage. | After him no other even tolerable represen- | tatives of the chief characters in the old plays can be found inall England. In this plso America has the advantage. Forrest, Jefferson and other distinguished actors still adorn American dramatic art, and, though ‘Mr. Lester Wallack now seldom plays the dashing young fellows who burlesqued fash- jion hundred years ago, and Mr. Charles | {Fisher has glided into the old man of the stage, we need not despair of the future. ‘Messrs. Lewis and Clarke, like the celebrated explorers of the same names, who found the fheadwaters of the stream which laves a con- tinent, have drunk from the very fountains of dramatic art. We look forward to Mr. Lewis’ ion of Slender, in “The Merry Wives | of Windsor,” with the interest which comes from expectation, and we have already seen | dn the Flutter of Mr. George Olarke a charac- | iter which meets all the demands of modern art, combining as it does the vivacity of con- temporary acting with a faithful portrayal of the past. Like praise is due to pthers, and we have nearly a score of young comedians unequalled by any of the actors ot the Old World. Mr. Henry J. ‘Byron, the dramatist, who has undertaken to gpersonate some of his own characters, from all wehave heard of his acting falls far below Mr. John Brougham in his leading parts. All Europe, from Glasgow to St. Petersburg, cannot supply two such comedy companies as those of the leading theatres in this city, and there are nowhere so many promising actors as in New York. Since Mrs. Siddons England has not had en actress like Charlotte Cushman, and to-day English actresses are mostly after the model | of the Fotheringay with whom young Pen- dennis fell so violently in love. Mrs. Scott- Siddons came to us as a star of the first mag- nitude, but she found that she was compelled | to compete with half a score of artists her superiors in everything except dressing for the | stage. Neilson is the only actress of note who ‘has had the courage to come after her, and | though we would not prejudge this artist, and are prepared to see in her a long-lost Juliet, ‘we have no fears that she will surpass, either in ‘womanly delicacy or artistic skill, the ladies rwho are such great ornaments to our theatres. In Fanny Morant we have an actress who is | the perfection of seductive widowhood. Miss Effie Germon, in her own line, is unapproach- able for the realism of her impersonations. ‘Miss Fanny Davenport and Miss Linda Deitz are in the way of becoming complete and finished actresses, Mrs. Sefton, Mrs. Chan- frau, Mrs. Gilbert, Miss Mestayer and others less widely known take a very high place in their profession. England cannot approach | Buch an array as this, and even English critics sometimes speak of English actresses as repre- sentatives of the prompter. We have some | dadies on our stage whom we only refer to in private, and then we are apt to forget both politeness and euphony, and call them “sticks.” The English stage is crowded with this kind of material. When we find an Eng- glish journal speaking of Miss Lizzie Wil- more’s acting as full of life, vivacity, sprightli- mess and humor, and congratulating her on the versatility of style which has gained for | ther her present position as an actress, we can form a pretty accurate idea of the condition of ‘dramatic art in England. Such good-natured | criticism is only valuable as indicating, that the baldest burlesque is mistaken for acting, | and that stage effrontery and vulgarity are | equal, in the English mind, to life, vivacity, | sprightliness and humor. In legitimate com- | edy the English ‘sticks’? would be only | American ashes; and we rejoice, therefore, | that Mr. Byron, in his plays of “‘Good News” | and “Two Stars,’’ makes his heroines actresses, | for otherwise his actresses would never be- come heroines of dramatic art. Tragedy in England has fallen lower than comedy even. Phelps and Creswick are the Othello and Iago of the English stage, but no- ‘body would think for a moment of comparing them with. Booth and: Barrett. And in Eng- land there is no hope of a new race of tra- to take the place of the old heroes of the stage, the last of whom expired when Charles Kean died. But America need not despair, for, as we gave greatness to the Keans, father and son, we may bestow it upon our own children. Turning from London to Paris we see little better prospects there. The moral tone of the stage has not been improved by the change in the fortunes of France. Even i ‘ecw Mile. Deeclée, who earned grat 4 theme of a popular all the novelties pro- the essence of his daughter Ernesta. At the Gymnase an elderly servant, having reason to suspect the fidelity of his wife, by a novel device puts her under the surveillance of his master and has the master suspected in turn by his own wife. At the Odéon a young Countess calls on an to utter words that would not be tolerated in New York. And so, while Paris is far in ad- vance of Lorfion in artistic skill, France is as low as England in true dramatic art. Under these circumstances we may well con- gratulate ourselves on the condition of the drama at home. At Wallack’s and the Fifth Avenue we have old and new, comedy pure in tone and in the main admirably presented. At Booth's we have comedy and tragedy in which, if there is much wanting in ensemble, there are always some very strong features. The Union Square Theatre gives us the better class of French comedy as well mounted as Sardou’s plays are presented in Paris and toned down to a greater moral acceptability. The same remark applies to the French burlesque at the Grand Opera House. Fechter promises melo- drama in Fourteenth street, and Niblo’s will soon give us'spectacle, of which the most objec- tionable objection is the ballet, old almost as theatrical art. We have much to commend in the present and everything to hope in the fu- ture; and though most Americans are ready to turn themselves into dramatic Jeremiahs upon occasion and lament the decay of the drama, it is only done in the interest of art and for the greater glory of.the American stage. The Gambling Den Murder—A Warn- ing Lesson. The dastardly assassination of Thomas Don- ohue in a pool-selling and faro-dealing gam- bling house in one of the most crowded lo- calities of the city, will probably open the eyes of the people to the necessity of a thor- ough municipal reform; a reform that shall sweep away the dangerous dens now common in the metropolis, put a stop to the unconcealed infringements of law by day and night in the highways of the city, and place some restraint upon the license of what the Committee of Seventy call “the dangerous elements of society.” It is a terrible and a warning lesson. Of the crowd of gamblers and thieves gathered in the pool-selling saloon, those of them who were engaged in dealing and playing faro at least were there in viola- lation of the law. The murderer was accom- panied to the door of the saloon by a crowd of friends, who, as soon as the assassi- uation was committed, surrounded their fel- low ruffian and sought to ensure his escape. Just opposite to the spot where the murder took place another gambling den was bril- liantly lighted up and pursuing its illegal business before the eyes of the police. All down Broadway on the same night might have been seen hundreds of those festering blisters on the reputation of the city, the concert saloons, and hundreds of similar ‘club houses’? to those on Twenty-eighth street. And all ‘this time the ‘guardians of the law’’ were parading up and down, now chatting with the poor bedizened wretches as they crawled up from the cellars, and now taking a drink with the gambling sharks on the watch for their prey. The actors in the tragedy—the murderer and the murdered— were politicians. The crime grew out of po- litical differences. Another foul murder has preceded this last assassination, and no person had been punished for the crime. The very ruffian who stained his hands in blood so effectually on Saturday night, is suspected of having attempted the life of his victim ona former occasion, was arrested for the offence and never brought to trial. Are we now to have another mockery of jus- tice? Is there to be a sham trial, a plea of insanity or something equally absurd, and an acquittal? Are weto have a mass of legal quibbles and delays interposed between this last murderer and the gallows, as between other assassins and their just fate? Are the dens of the city, in one of which this black crime was committed, to be still suffered to exist in defiance of the law? These are questions that interest every citizen—that reach to the security of our lives, as wellasofour property. The po- litical hucksters who have been making a trade and dicker of municipal reform—some in their own interests and others in the interests of party—will do well to reflect upon this terrible subject. We need now at the head of the city government a strong, vigor- ous, resolute and daring man, who will take these ‘dangerous elements”’ by the throat and enforce the laws faithfully and fearlessly. How much has the reform Committee of Seventy done to secure the election of such a chief magistrate? How will they avoid re- sponsibility for all the evils that may be entailed upon the city if their charges against one of the Mayoralty candidates should be well founded, when they have di- vided the reform vote for the promotion of their own selfish and ambitious views? Let Mr. Havemeyer, the third candidate in the field, the nominee who breaks the reform tanks only to be sold and cheated himself, read the story of the murder of Donohue and then decide with his conscience whether he dare venture to remain in the field. Ayornen Sarr Canat.—Baltimore is some- what excited over a project for a ship canal to connect Chesapeake with Delaware Bay. Sach a work, cutting off thé long peninsula which includes most of the State of Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and reaches fully one hundred and fifty miles southerly from Baltimore, would practically save to shipping three hundred miles of navigation between New York and Baltimore and place the latter city ag near the ocean as Philadelphia. Taken in connection with the proposal of an ocean steamship line, this short-cut may become im- nortant to the future of the Monumental City, while its completion will be welcomed by the commercial men, of New York as, '| another of the many: avenues by which the vast products of Western agriculturat and mining industry may reach our wharves. Sur- veys are in the generally level char- acter of the country and its slight elevation apparently offering no very formidable obsta- cles to the work, which is roughly estimated to cost four million dollars, Our Religious Contemporaries—Their Last Dash on the Presidential Ques- tion. Some of our religious contemporaries take occasion to sum up their views in regard to the Presidential election. The Christian Union (Henry Ward Beecher) gives its “Last Words.” Summing up all, it comes to the conclusion that the campaign has resolved itself into a series of local fights in the different States; and those which Mr. Greeley’s party still entertains any hope of carrying are either the certainly democratic States, or the republican States in which the republican party is divided by disgraceful feuds. These divisions, adds the Union, in ev: case, ex- cept, perhaps, that of Missouri, have arisen from the distribution of federal patronage. In this State of New York, for example, accord- ing to Mr. Beecher, Mr. Conkling’s friends have been favored to the exclusion of Mr. Fenton’s friends; and it is not diffi- cult to see that, if the opposition should be successful, its first reform would be substitution of Fenton for Conkling, and vice versa in the’ distribution of offices. The eyil of patronage is acknowledged, but the Uiion wants to see it destroyed, not merely shifted; and hence it hopes that the honest republicans of New York, and of other States in like circumstances, will not waste in petty revenges the moral power they should be gathering for the work of radical reform. Mr. Beecher admonishes his readers that after General Grant’s re-election he ‘shall doubt- less have opportunity to speak plainly of the duties which this significant victory will have imposed upon the administration and the republican party.’’ Why not speak out at once, and not make the wish the father to the thought ? The Christian Union is also suggestive with regard to ‘The Spirit of Roman Catholicism,” coming to the conclusion that ‘‘ Protestants have no occasion to war on Catholicism, ex- cept incidentally.’’ ‘We must,’’ continues ourable religious contemporary, ‘teach and live a religion so in accordance with reason, so manly, so open to all truth, so full of the spirit of love, so responsive to all the deepest wants of the soul, that it shall irresistibly attract and inspire men,’’ and women, too, might be added. The Independent fails to strike a prominent keynote upon political topics. In regard to the Indian policy of the administration it in- quires, ‘Is it a failure ?’’ and answers its own question by averring that ‘the man who has, asa matter of principle, so persistently and faithfully stood up for the rights of the colored people against strong misrepresentation and pressing demands for a contrary course can be trusted to do what is right for a race whose elevation he was first to begin.’’ Between “Big Indian” and “Big Sambo’’ General Grant will have a pleasant race to ran. The Independent thinks that, misrepresented, maligned and’slandered as few men ever have been, General Grant has had the good sense to keep his temper even better than Washing- ton did (when the ‘Father of His Country’’ used a little profane language toward General Charles Lee at the battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, during the Revolutionary war)—‘“and let his acts and their fruits speak for them- selves.’’ Every man of genius and patriotism uses an oath occasionally, but the Recording Angel gently drops a pious tear upon it and wipes out the record forever. The Freeman's Journal (Catholic) gives a homily upon the approaching Presidential election. It has no enthusiasm to profess or to recommend. But itedds, as the persistent result of the best light it can find, and as its abiding judgment, that democrats ‘‘will make a mistake in abstaining from the polls or in throwing away their votes on tickets that mean nothing.” That is to say, by voting for O'Conor and Adams. The Jewish Messenger has a word to say about the election on Tuesday. It arrives at the sage conclusion that there are “ men in both parties, although neither is blessed with too many saints.”’ The Golden Age (Theodore Tilton) en- deavors to show us ‘‘How the Case Stands,’’ and, after a long argument, declares that a single vote may undo untold wrongs—‘‘a single ballot may prevent a million bullets four years hence.” This will be good news for the ammunition factories and powder mills generally. The Observer (Presbyterian) recommends that there be a general day of prayer among foreign missionaries on the 20th December next, in accordance with a suggestion made by the Society for the Propagation of the Gos- pel in Foreign Parts (commonly known in England as the 8. P. G.). In this connection the Observer says: — The mission of the Presb; poor, in India, having been ally blessed within the last few years, the S. P.G. took occasion, through the Bishop of Bombay, in the temporary absence of the missionary, Rev. Mr. Wilder, to send ite 8 to this place to establish @ mission with the nglish Ritual, and to buy s the native teachers of the Presbyterian Board b; the offer of I when the vast territory ot = vn {te 300,600 600 people, presented a thou- its where missions Bs could be established 4 ter advan , if the object really was neoapeee the Gospel The Evangelist talks about the ‘‘high-flying Catholic bishops of Germany,” and says that nobody wishes to interfere with them, but that they think it very hard that they cannot interfere with everybody else and suppress and oppress to their hearts’ content. The Bvangelist adds: — We donot accept the German theory of the rela- tions of Church and State; but, saimitilag it, we do not see how the Bishop can complain o| his treat- ment. Let him first break loose from State con- nection and he will be entitled to the free exercise ofall ‘spiritual functions, But, feeding at Cesar's table, he must Re pyst to r’s code of man- ners.

The fifth Sunday concert of the season came off at the Grand Opera House last evening. With the exception of Mile. Aimee and Mr. William Mo- Donald, the tenor, the programme was filled by the ‘members of the company engaged in the representation of “Roi Oarotte.” The feature of the evening was the recitation of the “Ave Maria” by Mlle. Aimee, which was done with such devo- tional tenderness a week ago as to make its repetition last night desirable and successful. jan Board at Kola- be Saou er ENGLAND.

The Sugar Crops—Cattle Disease in Jamaica—The Colon Cable Completed—Another Submarine Telegraph Connecting Jamaica, Bermuda, England and the United States— Hayti in Trouble Once More— Smallpox in Trinidad. By the arrival of the steamer St. Thomas we are in posaession of the following intelligence from the West Indies. The Weather and the Crops. Krnaston, Ja., Oct. 26, 1872, In the West Indies some of the islands have had an abundant fall of rain, quite sufficient for the requirements of sugar planters, but in otner local- ities the fall has been wholly insufficient for agri- cultural purposes. In Barbados, for instance, they have not had such a season of drought for Fagg nad but the; nf have at last been relieved br @ Buperabundant fall. On the other hand, on the Isthmus of Panama the fall has been both early and heavy, and, as a natural consequence, there have been many cases of sickness at Aspinwall from malarial fevers, Jamaica. Kinasron, Oct. 26, 1872. There is a cattle disease which has made its ap- pearance on the island, and it 4s reported to be spreading. The Colon cable has been successfully laid, but Sir Charles Bright has not yet handed it over to the West India and Panama Railroad Com- pany. He is working it at present for the public with his own staff, at the rate of ten words for five dollars. It is reported that his account against the West India and Panama Telegraph Company amounts to $675,000, and that until they comply with the terms ot his contract, he will hold posses- sion of the Aspinwall cable. It is alsostated that the telegraph company has not enough money to meet this demand at present. It is stated that their capital is something less than $395,000, unless they raise money by the issue of new debentures, A submarine cable is contemplated between the present entctag goed of the Colon cable at Jamaica and Bermuda, to connect with the line which is to be laid next year from England with an extension to NewYork. This route will be much more pretranie to business men and the press, as they will thereby prevent the objectionable oo and censor- ship of Spanish officials in Cuba. Hayti. Matters in Hayti are comparatively quiet, but the government is inwardly disturbed by the pressing demands of the French Minister for $54,000, gola, compensation due to the French citizens a re- sult of the late revolution. The French Minister threatens to resort to the same measures ory has already Cn and has gent for the French miral.

Domestic Joy for Amadeus—Parliamentary Can- vase—Finance and the Wages Question. TELEGRAM TO TWE NEW YORK HERALD. MapRiD, Nov. 3, 1872. Sefior Balaguer, Minister of Finance in the Sagasta Cabinet, demands the prompt meeting of the Special Committee of the Cortes on Impeach- ment and.a speedy trial of the charges against him and his colleagues. The republicans and advanced radicals in the Cortes have resolved to push forward the impeach- ment proceedings notwithstanding Seilor Zarilla’s advice to the contrary. SAGASTA’S APPEAL TO THE POPULAR SUFFRAGE, Sefior Sagasta has come forward a9 a candidate for the Lower House of the Cortes from one of the Provincial districts. HER MAJESTY MARIA VICTORIA, The Queen of Spain is enciente, NATIONAL FINANCE AND PERSONAL INDUSTRY. The Finance-Committee of the Lower House has approved the Mortgage and Bank bills. The drivers and stokers on the railway between the Basque provinces and St. Nazaire have struck work for higher wages. SOUTH AMERICA. EES An Epidemic in New Grenada—An Earth- quake in Lima, Peru. The steamer St, Thomas has brought the follow- ing news from South America. New Granada. Kinaston, Ja., Oct. 26, 1872, The tomba fever, which has been an epidemic in Carthagena and along the coast, has not entirely disappeared. There are still a good many cases of it in Carthagena, Peru. The shipping interests of Peru are being vigor- ously promoted by President Pardo, in prospect of a large increase of business expected by the in- auguration of new steamship lines connecting the several South American ports. The opening of the new National Bank of Peru has proved a great commercial success. Smallpox is thought to be on the decline in Callao. Several hundred Chinese emigrants have arrived there. Asmart earthquake was felt at Lima and other towns on the 28th of September. CENTRAL AMERICA, A Battle with Indians in Guatemala— A Conspiracy in Costa Rica—Trouble in Spanish Honduras—Fire in Darien— Indians Amnestied in Salvador. The following intelligence from Central America has been received by the steamer St. Thomas, i Guatemala. Kinaston, Ja., Oct. 26, 1872. Two hundred Indians attacked Jalapa on the 17th ult, The battle lasted an hour and resulted in the defeat of the Indians, who fied. and were pursued by 800 troops, All the eastern depart- ments are quiet. Costa Rica. President Guardias was expected to leave Engiand on the 17th October for Costa Rica. There is @ conspiracy on foot to get up a revolution. Bay Islands, Dr. Gathue, the Governor of the Bay islands, dis- covering that there was a conspirfcy on foot to imprison him, fled to British Honduras. He has ar- rived at Belize. Spanish Honduras. The representative of Spain at Honduras has been alarming his government with respect to the recent arrival of taborers from Jamaica at Belize. It appears that a melée occurred among some Span- ijards. It was thereupon reported to the Spanish government that Sir John Grant had been shipping negroes to Honduras with arms and ammunition, even the number of mitralleuse is stated. The cir- cumstance having been represented to the British government, has been referred to the Governor of Jamaica for explanation. The affair is now under- going police investigation. Darien. The town of Twavista was destroyed by fire on October 16. The loss is estimated at $150,000. Salvador. Anamnesty has been offered the Indians who took part in the war of the 12th of August at Izalco. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. Mrs. Gaines is still prosecuting her claims against the city of New Orleans, Ar Indiana poet has been sent to the Penitenti- ary for three years for what a Western paper calls “plagiarizing a horse.” Henry 8. Fish has been nominated as the peoples’ candidate for the New York Assembly from the Rochester (Second) district. The students of Cornell University, in Ithica, torchlighted and serenaded Professor Froude in that city on Friday evening. Samuel A. Gaylord, 8 well-known banker of st. Louis, undertook to shake off this mortal coil the other day by shooting himself. It was a bad failure, Miss Susan B. Anthony and two other ladies have registered their names to vote in Rochester. Others have expressed a determination to go and do likewise. An Iowa lady has invented a boiler attachment for cooking and washing. It is not an unusual thing for some kinds of attachments to get people into hot water. “Daddy” Cain, Congressman-at-large from South Carolina, was formerly a field hand; but he don’t think he will have a hard row to hoe when he gets to Washington. They have just had a sale of property at “Tight Squeeze,” Ga. Any one who invests in property in a locality so named deserves to be screwed to death in a cotton press. Its “name must be Anthony,” for a Grant meet- ing was held ut Anthony Hall, Anthony village, amd addressed by Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, a few nights ago. Mr. John T. Sargent writes to the Boston Adver- tiser to say that the use of his name as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor by the so-called “Home- stead” party 1s entirely unauthorized. The number of Dunkards in Kansas is from ten to fifteen thousand. They are a quiet, peace- able, industrious people. When the men meet ‘at church they salute each other with a kiss. The women salute each other likewise. Several hun- dred of them had a meeting at Centropolis, Kan,, last week. ‘The Onieago Post advocates the appointment of Hon. Elihu B. Washburne as Secretary of State in General Grant’s Cabinet, adding:—“As Mr. Greeley credits Theodore Tilton with having ‘invented’ him as a Presidential candidate, so Mr. Washburne is entitled to the distinction of having obtained for General Grant his first military commission, and in making Mr. Washburne Secretary of State General Grant will be doing the country a favor and himself an honor.” MINISTER MORI AT NEW HAVES.
