The good wishes of the American people go with Mr. Bancroft on his Eastern tour. It is his intention, we believe, to visit Egypt and Palestine. It is to be presumed that by and by we shall have from his pen a book detail- ing his experiences in Europe, and we may take it for granted that the account of this Eastern tour will constitute one of its most teadable sections.

Last evening the Cunard steamship Russia ar- tived at her dock in Jersey City after a boisterous voyage of eleven days. Among the passengers was Charies Francis Adams, the veteran diplomatist and late the representative of the United States at the Conference of Geneva. Accompanying Mr. Adams were hisson, his wife and Miss Adams, his daughter. Mra. Hoey, Joseph O'Donoghue, Clar- ence Dinsmore and other well-known New Yorkers ‘were also passengers by the Russia. On the arri- al of the vessel at her dock, and before she had been moored by a hawser or a gang plank had been laid to convey her passengers ashore, a HERALD feporter leaped on board of the steamer and sought Mr. Adams to learn his views on the Geneva arbitration muddie. Stumbling over ropes and blocks, the family group of the Adams ‘were pointed out to the HERALD reporter. Mr. Adams separated himself from the group fora moment, and as he came forward under the pale light of the moon the reporter spoke to him politely, accosting the great statesman :— “¢ is Mr. Adams I have the honor of addressing, (believe ?”” Mr. ADAMS, bowing with the grace of Talleyrand and the dignity of a Nesselrode—That's my name, sir, What can I do for you? HgRatp ReporteR—I beg your pardon, Mr. Adams, but in my anxiety to serve the public in- tereste I desire to ask you on behalf of the HERALD, which I represent, three questions, with your kind permission. First, to what hotel are you going to- night ? Second, will you go direct to Washington, al pH ia have rested over night, to consult with Mr. Fish? Third, can you give me your views on the Geneva Comerence ? “gir,” said Mr. Adams, drawing back aftrighted at Ly 4 interviewed before he had touched Ameri- can soil, and very much saddened at the news which had just been told him of the destruction of the business portion of Boston. “Sir! lam now a simple private citizen and I desire to have no com- munication with the press. 1 am going to the Bre- voort House to-night, and I will answer no further juestions”’ (with emphasis). At this moment Mr. dams, scemingly annoyed, retreated behind a mast aud the HeraLp reporter bade him good evening. A suit of apartments were engaged for ~ Adams and family at the Brevoort House, in ith avenue, to which they were driven last even- ing, and where itis probabie that Mr. Adams wil: main fo tw re’ a or two. Mr. Adams was born at Boston in 1807, was edu- cated at St. Petersburg and London and juated at Harvard in 1825. He was a member of the Massachusetts Legisiature in 1828, and was the freesoil candidate for Vice President with Mr. Van Buren in 1848. THe succeeded George M. Dallas a8 Minister to Engiand in i181, and his name qwas mentioned during the early part of the late political campaign as a candidate to oppose Gene- ral Grant. The revenue cutter Grant, with Mr. Thomas cis ag & and Mr. ©. F. Adams on board, went down the harbor to meet the Russia yesterday alternoon, and it was understood that Mr. Adains would leave the steamer and be landed by the Grant at Castle den, but the veteran dipiomat preferred to remain on board of the Russia until ghe reached her dock at Jersey Citys NEW YORK HEKALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1872—1KIPL.“ SHEKT, PRESIDENT THIERS’ MESSAGE, Exposition of the National Condition of Franee by the Chief of State to the Assembly. Grand Success of the New Loan, but a Heavy Deficit in the Budget—The Indemnity Pay- ments to Germany—Sad Consequences of the War Struggle—Repose and Con- servatiam Against Reaction by “Most Terrible Revolution.” TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Paris, Nov. 13, 1872, The message of President Thiers was received by the National Assembly and read to-day. The message begins with thanks to God for the progress of the work of reparation and the general prosperity of the country. THE NEW LOAN—ITS WONDERFUL SUCCESS AND CON- FIDENOE OF THE CAPITALISTS. Referring to the extraordinary success of the last loan asked by the government he says “the whole available capital of the commercial world was of- fered to France.” Half of the loan has been real- ized. THE PAYMENTS TO GERMANY. In three montha Germany has been paid 800,000,000 franca of the war indemnity, and she will receive 200,000,000 more in the month of De- cember. HEAVY DEFICIT IN THE BUDGET, BUT HOPE OF A SPEEDY RECOVERY. The budget shows a deficit of 132,000,000 franca for the past fiscal year; but the estimates show that the equilibrium of oxponditure and revenue ‘Will be restored in 1873, and that a surplus may be looked for in 1874. DISASTERS OF THE WAR AND THR TERRITORIAL DIS- MEMBERMENT. President Thiers next makes allusion to the dis- asters of the late war with Germany, “the cruel dis- memberment of the country, the irightful burden it had to bear and the establishment of the Re- Public.” All these things suddenly bursting on a surprised and disheartened country might have resulted in irreparable disaster if order had not been maintained. A forcible appeal is made TO THEORETICAL REPUBLICANS not to spare even excessive sacrifices for order in their own interests. Events have given them the Republic. The Republic exists as the legal govern- ment, Anattempt at any different form of gov- erment would lead to THR MOST TERRIBLE REVOLUTION, The President deprecates a formal proclamation of the Republic by the Assembly, The better policy would be to impress on the institutions of the country the features of conservative republicanism, The Republic must ve conservative, otherwise it cannot exist, ‘The absolute need of France is REPOSE. The mass might live through a few days of agi- tation; after frightening others it fears itself and falis into the arms of an adventurer, travelling the sad and humiliating journey from anarchy to des- potism and despotism to anarchy. The slightest fault is sufficient to wreck the Re- public, France, orderly and strong, inspires con- fidence in foreign Powers, who desire, above all, a just equillibriam. France, if she chooses not to isolate herself, may become surrounded by trusting and useful friends. To the Assembly is left the initiation of CONSTITUTIONAL MEASURES. ‘The decisive moment has arrived for the work. The President promises deference, co-operation fevotlow. = i The President concluded by invoking Goda to bless the work of the Assembly and render com- plete and durable a consummation which has not been attained since the commencement of the century, RECEPTION BY THE MEMBERS. The message was well received by the “Left,” to whom it gave great satisfaction. M. de. Kerdrel, @ conservative, moved the ap- pointment of a committee to draw up a reply. The motion was agreed to by a small majority. It is thought that the President's message will lead to an early dissolution of the Assembly. " ENGLAND. Sweep of a Severe Gale Coastwis: and Serious Damage to Shipping. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, Nov. 18, 1872. Telegrams dated at different points on the Na- tional Snore line to the hour of five o'clock this evening report that a very heavy gale of wind pre- vailed on the British coast, and that much damage has resnited to the shipping in consequence. SPAIN. Capital Condemnation of Captive Insurgents— Crown Pursuit of Turbulent Carlists. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. MaprID, Nov. 13, 1872. The men who were made captive by the royalist forces at the moment of the surrender of Ferrol, after the insurrectionist demonstration at that place had been subdued, with a number of others who were arrested subsequently on charges of aMliation with the rebel conspiracy, are still on trial pefore the court martial. Several prisoners have been already condemned, and many more of the ringleaders in the rebellion movement were yesterday found guilty of all the serious charges made against them and sentenced to death.

Concession of Cable Right from Portugal to Brazil—Project for the Perfection of the Chain of Electric Communion. TELEGRAM TQ THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lisson, Nov, 18, 1872, The government of Portugal has signed a con- cession to the Falmouth and Malta Telegraph Maintenance and Construction Company, empower- ing them tolay an electric telegraph cable from Portugal to Brazil. Preparations for Work and Brazilian Facts of Privilege. On October 5, in the present year, it was an- nounced publicly in Lisbon that works for the establishment of a submarine telegraph line be- tween Portugal and Brazil were expected to com- mence in ashort time. In the Island of St. Vincent the building for the station was in progress and there were already some English clerks appointed. IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN CARB FOR THE ENTERPRISE. In Rio Janeiro, during the month of September, last, a few days before the death of Visconde de Ttadna, he accepted, a4 Brazilian Minister of Agri- culture and Public Works, a proposal of Baron de Maud to lay a telegraph cable between Brazil and Europe, on a concession for twenty years, It would appear that Baron do Maud engages to have the cable at work by the end of, 1874, and that it will run from some point of the province of Per- nambuco, via Madeira and St. Vincent, to Portugal, he having come, it is said, to an understanding with the English companies holding the Portuguese concessions for cables between England and Por- tugal, the arrangements big haa which under- fendi were approved by the Minister of Agri- re. The decree is dated August 16, 1872, At the ex- ration of the twenty years the concessionary will Wwe the use of the cable or cables for twenty years more, but without monopoly. If on January 1, 1885, the number of telegrams during the two previous ears should have averaged daily 300 of twenty let- ers each, the concessionary may be required vo lay & second cable. The charge per telegram of twenty words may not exceed 140f. from the coast of haere a that of Portugal, Vins 125f. to Madeira and 80f, 0 cent, Ifonor after January 1, 1877, the daily average of the two preceding years should have been 160 telegrams of twenty letters, the rates must be reduced respectively to 120f., 107.50 and 72.50, The Brazil government will abate ma- terially from its rates for telegrams having to ass its lines to the cable. The concessionary may efore 1877 lay cables to the West Indies and Sene- gal, and may also lay cables along the coast, to points authorized by the government.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 13, 1872. ‘The Commercial of this date has an editorial on the Liberal Convention that meets at Columbus on the 15thinst., that says, among other things:— “The Convention that meets at Columbus on the 15th may accomplish a deal of good if it has some sense. Politicians, however, have so little of that article that we are not prepared to hope for any great things, and should not be cast down in case the meeting disperses without doing anytjung but gabble and squabble. In the first place, it might as well be understood that the democratic party is no longer an institution whose continued ex- | istence is indispensible to the health of the coun- try. If democrats will in good faith drop that name and disband their organization, out of the wreck may be found considerable material that may be hereatter useful; but if the suggestion of the New York World be followed, and old party lines are to be resumed, nothing need be expected but the next Presidential candidate of the democ- | racy will carry about as many States as would | George Francis Train, The fact that the party appeared in form as an ally of the liveral repub- caus and would nominate at Baltimore, contrib- i largel, to the defeat of Mr. Greeley, ie name A has been so identified with rebellion that the people of the United States will not overlook the fact. There is but one office that the ple at large desire to perform with re; ard to that party—that is to be its undertaker. ‘hey have murdered it a number of times in the most brutal manner, and they will never rest satisfied till it is down 80 1 under the ground that the; may rest in quiet without fear of being disturbed by its ghost. If, therefore, the Columbus meetin; concentrate all the force and ability of the libera republican party, as it stood before the May Con- vention; and can then celebrate the obsequies of the democracy with crowning solemnitics, they inay make @ start which ia a four years’ heat may enable them to come out ahead next time on the celebrated homestretch.” TEXAS ELECTION, Democratic Majority in Both Branches of the Legislature. GALVESTON, Tex., Nov, 13, 15 The net democratic majority in forty-nine coun- ties is 6,775. It is generally conceded that the democrats have elected all the Congressmen, and have @ majority in both branches of the Logis- lature, ‘Austin has about ten thougand majority for per> manent capital ITALIAN OPERA. Misa Kellogg sang Violetta tast night in “La Traviata” for the second time this season. Sne was in unusually good voice and spirits, and her impersonation of the rdle of the Lady of Camelias was immeasurably superior to her first assumption of the rdla, For instance, there was more warmth in her rendering of “Ah! fors e lui,” more tender- ness in the last scene, @ breadth of dramatic power in the scene with the father of her lover and an earnestness throughout that brought down the au- dience. By the way, the latter important element of opera was very limited last evening, and vacant seats were in the majority, Miss Kellogg's acting showed signs of matured experience and studious effort, and in the last act she gave suf- ticlent evidence of being possessed of a magnetic power, which can be brought with more experience up to a standard to be measured with the efforts of those artists whose names ocoupy such a promt- nent position in operatic annals. It ia all very well to refer to the excellence of certain portions” of an _ uwnpersonation in opera, but the definite success rests on some. thing more than mere correctness. Miss Kellogg has happily caught this idea and profited by it too, he i8 rapidly approaching that phase in her artistic career when she can stir the audience by @ species of magnetism allied to genius, An actress must be combined with a singer te form a perfect lyric artist, and Miss Kellogg seems to understand thoroughly this necessity. She is a hard, conscientious student, and the result of hor labors must come sooner or later with the happiest results. Sparapani made a very acceptabie Ger- mont pére, and sung and acted like an accomplished —_ artist. Vizzani's voice was in better condition than usual, but he was an apathetic Alfredo, The ensemble showed a great improvement over tne first representation ol this opera, But, aiter Nilsson, it is a very hard and ungrateful work for either a prima donna or a manager to present this favorite opera of Verdi in such a manner as to make an effect. Violetta was the very best of Nilsson’s roles, and we have yet to see the prima donna who cun remove from our mind the memory of that wonderful impersonation that held the boards so long in this city. We are promises “The Marriage of Figaro” on Friday even- ing, with Lucca asCherubino, All lovers of musical picihey fervently hope that this promise may be ed, MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.. —-——__— At the Ambiga-Comique M. Lafont, the veteran French actor, has made a hit as Jacques lauvel, in “Le Centenaire.”” The part is that of a grand- father atid the actor is seventy-five years old, This play is to be produced at the Union Square Theatre during the season, but we suppose without the three-quarters of a centenarian. Mile. Albani has made her début in Paris as Amina, in “Sonnambula,” with moderate success. Her agitation was so great in the earlier parts of her first performance as to paralyze her efforts, and complaint is made that the portrait of a young woman with marked handsome features, full face, masses of black wavy hair and eyes on fire, which was hung up in the windows of the music shops, was nothing like the thin, slight young girl, inter- esting but not handsome, who was claimed as the original of the likeness, It will be remembered that the story was told that the débutante had taken her name from the city of Albany, of which she was said to be a native. Her real name is Emma Lajeunesse and she was born at Montreal. The manager of a Broadway winstrel troupe, when asked how he kept his rather unruly “play- ers” in order, answered, “When they cut up I kick them.” Capoul is to appear at the Theatre Italian, Paris, in “Il Barbiere” and “Rigoletto,” aiter the run of the ‘“Sounambula” has ceased. Dryden's “Amphitryon,” which has not been played for nearly half a century, and with any- thing like its original splendor not since Kemble personated Jupiter in 1783, has been produced in London with “modifications,” Considering that Molitre took the play from Piautus, and that Dry- den acknowledged that it was the genius of both Which inspired him, we need not take the subse- quent changes much to heart. Garrick induced Dr. Hawkegworth to “improve” it, and the latest ‘jmprovement® is by Mz; Jon Qxenford, Among the benefits announced for the present season of minstrelsy is one in behalf of Charley White, at his Atheucum, in Broadway, this even- ing. A mirth-provoking programme is promised. The new piece of “Round the Clock,” soon to be produced at the Grand Opera House, is an adapta- tion of “Le Tour du Cadran,” a vandeville in five acts, recently played at the Varieties in Pans, The plot ig novel. Inthe French play, Dufrissard, an indiscriminate admirer of the fair sex, having thereby undergone much misfortune, leaves his money to the one among his collateral relatives who preserves celibacy in the strictest sense. The test is made in twelve hours, or round the clock. Just as Ernesta, the daughter of Gazimard, is about obtaining the prize, Gattan, her cousin from Limoges, appears, and has the advantage of being a male claimant, males being preferred to females. But as the clock is on the hour of twelve Gazimard declares that Gattan is at that moment saluting his maid servant, and points to two shadows at a window in proof of his assertion. Investigation reveals the fact that it was Ernesta whom Gattan was kissing, and that the machinations of Gazi- mard for ruining tis nephew resulted in the ruin of his daughter also, It is round this theme that Mr. Daly has woven his story of “living human purport,” whatever that may mean. The transiormation of Fechter’s Theatre, in Four- teenth street, is complete. It is not at all like the old Théatre Francais, having been completely re- built. The entrance is the most elegant of any place of amusement in the city, and from the side- walk to the orchestra circle is but a step. The gal- leries are very near to the stage, but while they are remarkable for economy of space they will have the effect of concealing parts of the audience, except from the stage. Much work yet remains to be done upon the building, but when completed the theatre will be unique and charming. “Saratoga” is the play at the Brooklyn Theatre this week, with Mrs, and Miss Conway in the piece. THE ILLNESS OF MADAME LUCCA. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Sin—It having been reported that the indisposi- tion of Madame Lucca was of such nature as to render it unlikely she would appear again in pub- lic for some time, I should feel obliged if you would allow me to state that Madame Lucca is now con- valescent, and will appear at the Academy of Music on Friday evening, November 15, Your obedient servant, H. JARRETT, ACADEMY OF Music, Nov. 13, 18’ TEE OLD NORTH STATE, Governor Caldwell Not Opposed to the Meeting of the Leg res RaeiGH, N. C., Nov. 12, 1872, Rumors having been circulated through the columns of Norfolk, Raleigh and Wilmington papers that Governor Caldwell would issue a proclamation forbidding the assembling of the State Legislature on Monday, the agent of the Associated Press had an interview this morning with the Governor relative thereto. The Governer said in substance, that like many other statements made by the State press in regard to his offictal career, this was totally un- fonnded and devoid of truth, and that he is now busily preparing his aunual message for the Gene- ral Assembly.

Cabinet Reconstruction—Mr. Evarts for Secretary of State. Friends of the administration, without profess- ing to speak by authority, have good reason to be- Heve that the portfolio of the State Department will be at the service of Mr. Evarts, of New York, after the 4th of March, if he ts willing to endure the pecuniary sacrifice for the honor of the place. Social Washington is anxious that the successor of Mr. Fish should equal the latter in the means and disposition of display, a3 society takes tts tone from the Secretary of State, and on those grounds the distinguished advocate of Geneva would be wholly acceptable, The Internal Revenue and Patent Bureaus are named as among the offices of the second grade as likely to become vacant, by the voluntary retire Ment of the present incumbents, who have other views for the future. The Contest tor the Vacant Major Gen- eralship, The choice of candidates for the office of Major General, vacated by the death of General Meade, is now believed to rest between Brigadier General Terry and Quartermaster General Meigs, with the odds in favor of the latter, The objection to Ter- ry’s appointment is that his present high rank of brigadier was conferred for his one service of cap- turing Fort Fisher after General Butler's failure with his powder ship, and that if General DeDowell, the senior of the eight line brig- adicrs, is to be passed over, there are several who have equal claims with Terry, and who are respectively urged by equal infuences, against any of which the President does not like to discriminate, The points suggested in favor of General Meigs are that he is both the senior dier and Brevet Major-General of the entire army, and so removed above the criticisms on @ choice by pure selection; that he has an excellent engineer record for twenty-five years before the war and a distinguished history as Quartermaster General, is an advanced scientist and devoted student of the art of war as practised with such modern ap- pliances as the railroad, telegraph and breech- loading cannon and small-arms, and has no liking for the staff position, into which he was forced in a time of emergency at .the beginning of the war and just as he had obtained his coveted command in the line. The friends of General Terry assert to-night that he isas good as appointed, but army oMcers likely to be better informed believe that Meiggs is the coming Major General. Judge Settle the Probable Successor of Justice Nelson.

The following, from the work of Judge Richardson, is given for the infor- mation of all interested:—“Persons often forward tothe Treasury Department caveats of lost and stolen coupon bonds; but the only advantage gained thereby is that when those bonds or the cou- pons come in for redemption the Department noti- fies the claimants who have filed the caveats of the presentation of the bonds and furnishes the names of the parties presenting them, in order that the loser may have all the information within the reach of the government which may possibly ena- ble him to discover the parties who fraudulently obtained them, Beyond this the gov- ernment can afford no relief. There are great advantages in holders carefully taking the numbers, dates, denominations, issues and series of their coupon bonds, and preserving them in some place apart from the bonds themselves, be- cause, in case of destruction of the bonds by fire or otherwise, duplicates may be obtained under a law of Congress passed June 1, 1872; and unless such memoranda are kept it is diMcult, if not impossible, to describe coupon bonds which have been destroyed with sufficient accuracy to obtain the benefits of the law. The facts as to the title of registered stock, but not as to coupon bonds, may be gathered from the records of the department.” Seerctary Boutwell and the Boston Mer- chants. The Secretary of the Treasury has received a telegram from sundry Boston merchants asking to be relieved from the additional charge of ten per cent on goods in bonded warehouses remaining there more than a year. The Secretary replied that he had no power thus to relieve them, but if any of the sufferers by the fire allowed their goods toremain beyond that time he would recommend to Congress that the charge be remitted. The Secretary has received a telegram from the Relief Committee giving a copy of the resolution in opposition to the issue of an additional amount | of currency.
