The republican politicians desire to claim exclusive interest in the Mayor, and demand, by his aid find the 00-operation of the State Legislature, Complete control of the city departments, Mr. Havemoyer is, however, very independent, a trifle obstinate and fundamentally democratic, and he isaaid to regard the election as having ‘been decided independent of political parties in the cause of reform alone. Hence he will probably oppose a mere partisan distribution of the ‘spoils’ such as the Ring desires.

MONSIEUR LE PRESIDENT—I have just arrived from Switzerland, whither I have had the honor of accompanying, to Prangins, their Imperial High- nesses Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde, whom you were pleased to take from my house and send into exile. I will say nothing about the ille- gality of this act, which interdicts a Frenchman ‘om French soil—a Councillor General of one of our departments, too—when no law, no penalty Warrants such an act; the laws of the country have, however, been appealed to. But I have to complain of the violation of my house and premises. There was no crime nor offence to be investigated or proved at my house, and you know this better than any one else. The police agents who presented themselves at Mille- mont had neither eu nor quality, nor com- petence to do so. Had I been actuated by my feelings of inane Bo and pushed matters to extremes [should have oenosed force to conduct so violent and arbitrary; but I yielded to my sen- timents of moderation—not, however, without a promuny feeling of pain. I remembered, M. le President, that for several years, in the same po- litical assembly, Ihad listened to you with the utmost confidence, ee at the same time liberal principles and respect for the laws of the country. My convictions were fortified on listen- ing to such declarations as these; and it is not without a certain bitter sense of senate that I now see you throwing these doctrines to the winds, violating the rights of citizens, and creating, for future passions and their conse- quences, the most compromising precedents. Re- ceive, &c., MAURICE RICHARD, Exciting Scene in the Assembly—Person- alities, Government Defence and a Speech by the President. VERSAILLES, Nov. 18, 1872, During the session of the National Legislative Assembiy to-day there was an exciting debate over the motion of Deputy Changarnier censuring M. Gambetta for his inflammatory speeches in the provinces. On making his motion M. Changarnier com- plained of “the increasing audacity of the radicals and (he laxity of the government in dealing with them, He accused Gambetta of “entertaining and seeking to spread socialistic ideas.’? This charge created much excitement in the Chamber, and the speaker was called to order. The deputies on the right tried to provoke Gam- betta to reply, but he declined, and only shrugged his shoulders. President Thiers mounted the tribune in defence of the government. He protested against being piaced at the bar as a criminal, and threw out the intimation that he might appeal to the country. He admitted that the speech made by M. Gambetta, at Grenoble, was offensive, but claimed that the government was not responsible. The President concluded by demanding a vote of confidence from the House. Deputy Mettetal moved that the vote of conf- dence be immediately taken. The Assembly stubbornly refused to give priority to M. Mettetal’s motion, but after four divisions of the Chamber on other motions THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE came up, and was adopted by 267 yeas against 117 nays. Half of the deputies abstained from voting.

EXCITEMENT IN THE CUSTOM HOUSE. Books, Papers and Goods Hurriedly Removed. THE LOSSES ESTIMATED. Boston, Nov. 18, 1872. Another night of terror from fire has dawned upon the ill-fated city of Boston. At about a quar- ter past ten to-night, when everybody was indulg- ing in a sense of relief from the conquering of the conflagration of last week, there came an alarm which indicated a fire at the lower end of State street. The flames at this moment had gained a fearful headfWay and the skies in the, vicinity were most brilliantly illamt- nefed, and the fear and apprehension that State street block was in flames were realized upon reaching the spot, and its safety from com- plete destruction seemed impossible. Thousands and thousands of people flocked to the vicinity, and the whole Fire Department was summope~,, Several streams were soon brought to bear upon the devouring element, but for along time they seemed futile in either subduing or checking the pfogress of the flames, A mild preeze wafted the sparks in all directions, and the destruction of an untold number of mercantile buildings, and even the solid structure of the Custom, House, was threatened. All the govern- nent books, deposits and other valuables were got in readiness for removal, and the merchants, with the aid of the arniy of jo) wagons early on hand, immediately went to work conveying their goods to distant points of safety. The steamers lying at the wharves pulled out into the stream, and jug- boats did a lively business in hauling out THE LARGE FLEET OF SAILING VESSELS which lined the docks all along Atlantic avenue. The flames meanwhile swept along the roof of the huge structure, bursting out at intervals from the windows of the warehouses, forming what may well be called a scene of sickening grandeur, and inspiring firemen and citizens alike with the belief that the terrible éveats of & Week ago wets 6 be Fepeated. Olis, drugs, liquors and other goods equally combustible and inflammable were contained in the huge building in quantities, which it is impossible to estimate, and as the flames marched in the direction of these danger- ous compounds fresh fears were created for the safety of this section of the city. At times the firemen seemed to gain temporary mastery of the situation, but it was more than an hour before there was any substantial advantage gained, and then only with the assistance of the fire- men from neighboring cities, who were sent for at the moment the magnitude of the conflagration was realized. The wind, too, went down very sud- denly, and it was at once apparent that the Custom House and surrounding buildings were out of dan- ger, and the articles and goods which had been re- moved were soon after returned. The exact loss occasioned by the fire cannot be de- finitely ascertained to-night, but with the damage to the building and the loss of stock in the warehouses consumed tt will probably figure. up among the millions. There ts probably not in the whole country a structure so extensive and substantial as the State street block. The damage which it has sustained will be keenly felt not only by the owners and occupants, but by the whole mercan- tile community. The central portion of it will prob- ably have to be rebuilt, but the ends are uninjured. it is owned by the heirs of the late David Sears, who lost heavily by the great fire of last week, THE FIRE ORIGINATED on the third floor, occupied by Gould, Hitehcock & Co., for the storage of crockery. This same firm lost everything by last week's fire, and had just re- established themselyes in new quarters. Mann & Co., wholesale grocers and manufacturers of spices, occupied the fourth and fifth and lower floors, and their stock is nearly @ totalloss. Nicker- son & Co., commission merchants, also lose heavily, and among the other sufferers whose names at reported to-night are Waiter Baker & Co., choco- late manufacturers; William B. Reynolds & Co., commission merchants; 8. 8. Pearce, grocer and importer of teas, &c., and Dantorth, Scudder & Co., wholesale grocers. The latter named firms had their stocks damaged more by water than by re. The origin of the fire is unknown, but {t is sup- posed to nave originated from some sparks which might have been contained in some of the crockery crates of Gould, Hitchcock & Co., and which were removed from their burning store last week to the apartments where the fire originated to-night. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE LOSSES as near as can be ascertained:—Carter, Mann & Co., Nos. 205 and 207, wholesale teas, coffees and spites, stock valued at about thirty-five thousand dollars; partial loss; fully insured, The two upper stories were occupied for storage hors poe where the fire is supposed to have originated of crockery stored there from the burned district. J. & W. Bird occupied the three lower floors of 209 and 211; paints and olls; loss not ascertained. D. Webster, King & Co., manufacturers, had just moved into the fourth story, having been burned out at the great fire; loss $1,400; no insurance, The Boston Dyewood and Chemical Company, aiso burned out by the big fire, occupied the fifth floor, With a new stock, which was badly damaged by water; no insurance.

A severe shock of earthquake occurred here this afternoon, about two o'clock. It began with a sort of explosion, followed by trembling and shak- ing, which lasted about ten seconds, Buildings rocked violently and the shock was plainly percep- tible to people walking in the streets. The shock was distinctly heard, and its apparent course was from the west to cast. The telegraph operators at Contoocook and War- ner report the same shock there, The Shock Felt at Laconia.

Bliss Neilson, the distinguished Knglish actress, made-zher first appearance in this country at Booth’s Theatre last night in her princtpal ampcY" sonation of Juliet, in Shakspeare’s love tragedy. Her reception was an extremely cordtal one, and her success utay be considered as assured, Whether she fulftied the expectations which had been formed of her is an entirely different matter, The difficult task she attempted, whether she willed it or not, was to show that the stage had found not only a new but @ great Jutlet. In this ambitious effort her suc- cess, though marked by many excellent character- istics, was not suMcient to stamp her conception of the part with the impress of genius. She is sin- gularly lacking im tragic force, and her Juliet is a ranting rather than @ love-sick maiden; but even these qualities must not be overlooked in an actress who would represent the daughter of the Capulets; for ‘Romeo and Juliet,” though it is called @ love tragedy, is not a really pathetic piece of dramatic writing. It appeals to the imagination rather than to the heart, and there is something exquisitely absurd in the passion as well as in the misfortunes of the lovers, Miss Neilson’s want of very strong feeling enables her to portray this ideal to perfection, and her Juliet is, in consequence, not a woman who sin- cerely loves, but a woman who thinks that she is in love. Even in the comedy parts of the play, where she i8 much more admirable than in the tragic scenes, this want of the representa- tion of genuine passion was everywhere apparent, notably so in the first act, where Romeo appears at the ball of the Capulets, 97 g foathern poet has it, | “without an inyiter’ There 13 no suMcient i00."? reason for.

Tn all this ‘ould hot He hash hol as lenying that Miss Neilson is possessed of much genuine power. In the balcony scene especially she approved herself an actress of unusual merit. Every word, every iook, every movement was a picture. Her great personal beauty, 80 wonderfully suited to the moon light which falls 4pOR — her tacé, and _ contrasting vividly with the ‘surroundings with which Mr. Kooth’s taste, dressed the garden of the Capulets for his own wooings, adds much to the elfective- ness of the Rorleyi 8 Of the lovers. Mr. Wheelock, as Romeo, did nothing in the way of aiding her to show her power, but she lifted herselt up and be- yond a drawbi 80 great and shone with a splen- dor entirely her own, It was the gem ol the performance, and is in itself suMicient to fill the house till the end oj iss Neilson’s engagement, The interview with the nurse in the fourth act was, on the whole, a disap- pointment, the want of purpose and earnest- ness being ony too apparent, but in the earlier Scenes, where she coaxes her old companion to as- sist in her intrigue with the young Montague, and asks for news of Romeo she was so far superior as to add proof to proof of what we have already said of her—namely, that she isa much better comedy than fi ic actress. Of Mr, Wheelock’s Romeo very ttle need be said. He was aegaee to the part, but not unconscious of his want of experience. This 1s much to his credit, for it showed that he under- took the part which Mr. Booth had made a retrospec- tion at this theatre without any spirit of boastful- ness, and he improved as the play progressed. After a few more representations ne will play it Passably well, and with study and care he may even attain the distinction of filling it acceptably. Mr. James W. Wallack, as Mercutio, was aamirable, Though lacking somewhat in the elegance we ex- pect to see in this refined gentleman, his mirthiulness was excellent aud the death scene wasa piece of acting which commends itself as great. Miss Mary Wells’ Nurse was characterized by the care of an excellent and conscientious ac- tress, and Mr. Waller’s friar and Mr. Sol. Smith’s bu we poe were not unworthy of each other, which is aay @ great deal for the drug _— business, Aside from these, we found nothing worthy of analysis in the cast, but on the whole the performance was easy and even, though oftener below than above mediocrity, except in the instances to which we have called particular attention. ‘Romeo and Juliet” will be repeated during the week, and at the matinée on Saturday Miss Neilson will play Rosalind in “As You Like It.” The Italian Opera. “Don Giovanni’ was given last night at the Academy. Itis needless to say that Madame Lucca as Zerlina was the chief attraction, and that we were puzzled whether to praise most the excellence of her acting or the sweetness of her singing. The way in which she sang the “Batti Batti” was simply exquisite. Ronconi, as Massetto, sup- ported Madame Lucca as few artists could. The Leporelio of Jamet is a first rate piece of acting. ‘This artist always sings conse entiously, and, though he is not so much praised as he deserves to be, he is a well rec- ognized favorite with the audience. We have already expressed our opinion that Donma Anta is too heavy a role for Miss Kellogg. She, however, acquitted herself with credit. Her singing last night was finished, and earned for her more than one recall, Signor Moriami was in good voice and sung the réle of Don Giovanni with intelligence and dramatic power. Signer Vizzani appeared as Don Octavio and Mile. Clara Doria as Elvira. Opening of the Terrace Garden Theatre. | ‘There was quite an excitement in German circles last evening on occasion of the opening of Mr. John Koch's new theatre, which occupies the greater part of the block bounded by Fifty-eignth and Fifty-ninth streets, Third and Lexington ayenues. The theatre looked fresh, radiant and pretty; was lighted in &@ manner that made it more cheerful and more of the ballroom than what one is accustomed to see in a theatre, and showed the hand of an artist in all its details. The mitial performance showed a@ notable lack of | musical judgments in the selection of a purely Italian opera, which sung in any other language can- not achieve a success, In German, particularly, “Tl Trovotore’”? sounds anything but in accordance with the spirit of the composer, The cast was the following:—Leonora, Mme. Lichtmay; Azucena, Miss Clara Perl; Manrico, Mr. Horn; Count di Luna, Mr. De la Fontaine. The ladies made a genuine hit and repeated the success which crowned their efforts {or a season at the Stadt Theatre, Miss Perl | is one of the best representatives of the kypsy mother we huve on the boards at present, and he: pure contraito voice will always be heard with pleasure. Mme. Lichtmay’s abilities as a dramatic singer have been spoken of at length before in | these columns. The new tenor cannot be consid- ered as a success, as his method leads him to shout- ing, a very dangerous style of singing when the voice is naturally coarse. The representative of Di Luna Js a basso, and therefore it was necessary to transpose much or his music. The “Il Balen” was set down a minor third from the original key. In other respects Mr. De la Fontaine gave considera- ble satisfaction, ag his voice is of good timbre and is well cultivated. The chorus is small in number, to snit the stage, but is well selected, The orchestra had the valuable services of Mr. Carl Bergmann as conductor and many threatened mishaps on the part of some of the performers were averted in time by the firmness and decision of this admirable chef dorchestre. Mr. Berg- mann might tell his company that quality as we}l as quantity in tone isa very desirable thing in singing, Light and shade seem to be foreign to the school of most German singers. The Terrace Gar- den Theatre is not like the Boston Coliseum and is more easily filled by a voice. On Wednesday the opera of “Martha’’ will be given and on Friday “The Jewess”’ of Halévy.

Forty-five representatives presented themselves and were sworn in, There not being a quorum the House adjourned until twelve M. to- morrow.

But in doing this he would undoubtedly have gone beyond his office. He would have snatched a grace beyond the reach of conventional usage; and we cannot complain that, declining to run the risk of being misunderstood, the Emperor William should have resolved somehow or other to answer & question which the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom assumed to admit of an answer when they agreed to put it before him. But, as we have said, we have done with the circumstances of the award. The San Juan difficulty is settled. There are, however, cer- tain considerations connected with the question which merit attention. It must always be remem- bered that this a Canadian matter, British Colum- bia, including Vancouver's Island, {8 a province of the Dominion of Canada, and the reference to arbi- tration was made for the purpose of determining the boundary between the Dominion and the ter- ritory of the United States. The real practical im- portance of the award arises out of the bearing it May have on the line of intercommunication be- tween Vancouver's Island, Manitoba and the Eas: ern provinces. A correspondent from British Columbia told us last week that the effect of the award could and would be obviated by car- yay the line of railway connecting Victoria with the East further North than had been originally intended, but at least the railway will be geflected Irom what would have been the direct and simple route in consequence of the decision. When we bear these facts in mind, and ask ourselves what they will say in Canada about the San Juan award, we see we must consider another question, an that is what will they say in Canada ot the way in which the Commissioners at Washington agreed to reter their interests to arbitration? Not that the Commissioners acted upon their own responsi- bility in any particular. In everything they did, in the matter of San Juan as much as in the question of the Fenian raids and the fish- ing banks of the Dominion, they acted under the direction and control of the government of Lon- don, who were consulted at every step of the ne- gotiations. The spirit of inquiry in Canada may, therefore, extend so far as to prompt men to ask what they owe the Cabinet of London for their assistan: And what answer could we possibl, give to the question {fit were passed on to us? All we could say must be that we had acted with the best intentions and on the best informatien at our command. We know that this is not enough—strange as it may secem—to satisly Canada. The men of the Dominion say that were sacrificed at every stage by agents who were as ignorant as th ere incompetent to defend their interests. he British Columbia boundary a gone. ‘The claims for compen- sation for the Fenian raids—elaims which, according to the principles laid down by the arbi- trators at Geneva, could not be disputed—were given up on the lJeast show of resistance, Their fisheries have been sold for a sum of money which remains to be fixed by a cumbrous ma- chinery, very slow to be set in motion, and to be ee at some distant day, when the House of Representatives may vote the sum which may be awarded, We know that the indignation of the | inhabitants of Canada last Summer was such that | We had to bribe the Legisiature of the Dominion | } with a guarantee of 900,000 before its assent to the Treaty of Washington could be procured, What has happened since? There nas been a general election which showed, in the most Unpleasant manner, that the people were not appeased by a bill ¥ h was sufficient to secure the vote of Parliament, Leading Ministers have been defeated and have lost their seats; the | Premier had to fight hard for his own and the Min- isterial majority had become so uncertain that no one can tell how long Sir John Alexander Mac- donald, meeting the House without the assistance of his ablest colleagues, will be able to retain bis power. The San Juan award comes upon all this, The negotiations which bargained away the fish- erles were chiefly distastefal to the maritime provinces and the other parts of the Dominion were affected by sympathy only. The San Juan award will be chiefly obnoxious to Canada West. | The adventurous farmers of Ontario have been look- ing with longing eyes on the valleys of the Red River and the Fraser River, and it is they who have called for means of communication to those tempting settlements, They will now resent the award which has interfered with their plans of the future, aud they will join their brethren on the | coast in execrating the Treaty of Washington. When the Canadians turn round upon us and | say, “You have muddled away our interests witn- out obtaining for us aught that we desired, You have abandoned our fisheries; you have sacrificed | our frontier; you have not giver us open trade | with the States; you have not secured any satisfac- tion of our claims for wanton injuries,’ what an- swer shall we give? We must begin by confessing our faults. Itis tr ve have failed, We did our best, but we had to keep one eye on ourselves and another eye on you, and all the time to watch the temper and meaning of the American Com- missioners with very littie intelligence to guide our interpretation of their words; and if the result is not satisfactory to you, neither is it to ourselves, This we must say if we would be frank; but we go | on to add something more, It is this:—From this time ferth look after your own business yourselv You are big enough, you are strong enough, y are intelligent enough, and if there were any de- ficiency in any of these points it would be opp ee | by the education of self-reliance. Weare both now in a false position, and the time has arrived when we should be relieved from it.
