No newa from the Gold Coast of a later date ‘than General Wolseley’s despatcn has been re- “ceived, ‘ In the absence of further advices all kinds of rumors are in circulation, and grave fears are felt ‘that some disaster may have occurred to the ex- editionary force on its march back to the Coast. THE WAR OFFICE ANXIOUS AND EXCITED. The anxiety in the War Office is such that Mr, Gathorne Hardy stays there until a late hour, and «clerks remain on duty all night.

A BAD “SELL.” Newport Police in Search of Imaginary Braisers on Dutch Island. Newport, R. J., March 3, 1874. This city has undergoue a decided scare to-day, nd every city oficial connected with the police force contessed to-night that they have been vic- timized in a manner they never will forget’ Early this morning a rumor became current that a prize Qght was arranged to come off on Dutch Island, ‘Qear this port, and that the “bruisers” were to be taken there by @ tugboat. Sheriff Manchester Was consulted, and he in turn sent an officer to a citizen who, it appears, had had a private despatch iniorming him of the fact, desiring the latter to send him (the Sheritf) the despatch so that he would he sure that there was something in the wind before any decisive steps were taken. On réceiving the des- patch he was convinced, and accordingly summoned B posse of policemen, who immediately started in ae Yo accomplish their purpose, Uncle Sam ad to be consulted in order to furnish transporta- tion to the island. Thisrequest was granted. The revenue cutter Moccasin was steamed up and pro- cceded with her excited passengers jor the scene of action. vevermined were they to bring to jus- tice those who dared desecrate the sacred soil of Rhode Island by a prize fight. Cautiously they proceeded for Dutch Island Har- bor, but no prize fight was there to be seen, After cruising about in that vicinity for three hours they returned, and their chagrin and disappointment can better be imagined than described at the heartless hoax that nad been practised upon them. ‘They state, however, that a fight was in contem- plation, and that ete a positive hee that it ‘will occur in this vicinity at an early day.

AMUSEMENTS. —_——_—_—_ “Charity” at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, M At the American Jockey Club Rooms the follow- ‘The production on the New York stage of a com-\| ing transactions took place on Saturday evening edy dealing with modern life, which aims seriously at presenting pictures of real men and women, is an event to be chronicled with a feeling of thankfainess. The English speaking public are already the debtor of Mr. W. 8. Gilbert for many valuable and interesting plays, Perhaps no dramatic author of the present day has known how to invest the stage with so much poetic inter- est or clothe elevated conceptions with language so noble and dignified. Recognizing the true mission of the theatre he has sought to make the stage the teacher as well asthe mirror of humanity, and if any errors have been committed they at least have “leaned to virtue’s side.”" “Charity,” the lacest work from this gifted writer, aiffers widely from most of nis works with which the American public nas been made familiar. It is a scathing satire on English socicvy, and one can well imagine that society was not at all Pleased with tne picture, Indeed, both the author and the manager showed commendable in- dependence of popular prejudice in producing the work, It is questionable whether the fuil force of the cutting sarcasms against the snobbery and hypocrisy of English life can be fully appreciated at this side of the Atlantic, where, tiappily, the evils which are attacked have not yet taken root and flourished in our comparatively new society. ‘The story upon which the play is based may be thus shortly stated. A young and beautiful woman, Mrs. Vanbrugh, has loved and sinned, but her history is a secret to the world. She 1s known as the widow oi Vanbrugh, and at the time of the opening of the play is residi quietiy in England with Ls her asughten who is on the point of being married, Up to this point the lady has been able to conceal irom the world the true nature of her connection with the deceased Captain; but the father of her intending son-in-law, Mr. Smailey, being @ bad and an avaricious old Man, is not content that his son should become heir to Mrs. Vanbrugh’s tor- tune by marriage, but is anxious to acquire it by less honorable means, We have no clew to bis reason for this curious proceedi: of the weak points of the play. ‘rhe whole interest on Smailey Senior's __vil- lany, and there is no sufficient cause shown why a shrewd old man _ should act dishonestly, and very few men are dishonest without @ motive. Smalley suspects that Captain Vanburgh’s first wife was living when he marred the heroine of the play. It he could prove this he would become possessed, as next heir, of a large property left to the lady by an Australian uncle, as irs, Vanbrugh. Of course this property he de- sires for the enrichment of his son, but as that worthy descendant of the Smaileys has asked the hand of Mrs, Vanbrugh’s daugh- ter and been accepted, the property might fairly be regarded as already within his reach. But such is the innate rascality of the re» Bpectable Smatley, whose remote ancestors are supposed to have arrived in Britain with Cesar, but whose immediate progenitor, we learn in con- fidence, was a@ brushmaker, that he ventures to destroy the happiness of the young people, and bring ruin and shame on the Vanbraghs, in order to acquire @ little sooner the coveted fortune. Success at first attends his machinations agains the peace and well being of his victims, and when the curtain goes down on the third act, society, in the person of Smailey, has hunted down the woman who haa loved not wisely but too well, and in an agony of grief she confesses that she had never been the wife of Captain Vanbrugh. The climax of the play is reached at this point, ahd though there is added on a fourth act to enable virtue to triumph in the end and to send respectable old Smailey to prison on the charge oi forgery, the main interest of the story nas been broken. The play, however, 18 @ strong and healthy one. It strikes at the hypocrisies of society and more espe- ctally at the injustice with which repentant woman who has erred is treated, even by those who have been the cause and the partners of her sins, The subject is a delicate one, but has been handied with rare judgment and skill, and though many will refuse to be converted to the practice of charity by Mr. Gilbert's saure, no one can fail to be struck with the power and directness with which the cause of woman is defended. The language is pure and the dialogue at once solid and brilliant. The characterization is sharp and well defined, as though cut in crystal It is @ play of great literary merit, and ever; part displays evidence of carelul writing. Eaci scene has a merit of its own, apart irom its con- nection with the general ie and might stand alone as & caretul and intelligent study of modern society. It hasakind of mterest that will take with the public, and even the critical audience who crowded to a frst night’s periormance were by no means sparing of applause. The piece, looked at from the critical point of view, nas some defects of con- struction; but there is no lack of interest any- where, and the audiences who are moved by the pictures of human interest placed beiore them are not likely to pause and examine whether by strict rule of art they have a right to be moved or not, “Charity” bas the elemen of popu- larity, and we shall be surprised if it does not enjoy alongrun. It is magnificently put upon the stage, and the acting, with one or two ex- ceptions, was worthy the play and the setting. Miss Ada Dyas, as Mra. Vanbrugh, showed hersel! a finished artiste, and displayed considerable power in the rendering of the more dramutic passages. Mr. Fisher, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Davidge and Mr. Hardenbergh divided the honors between them, but Mr. Clark, as young Pmalley, the canting snob, was not at all satisfactory. The conception of the part was exceedingly shallow, and was altogether wanting in naturalness, Miss Fanny Davenport, as Ruth Tredgectt, a tramp, made a decided bit, and gave evidence of considerable power in a new sphere of alte a Her dialect t epeeun Was not quite perfect, but it was remark- ably good for a foreign stage. Italian Opera in Brooklyn—“Lucia.” The irresistible attraction of Nilsson’s name had the usual result last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The house was crowded, and the accus- tomed apathy of a Brooklyn audience gave place to enthusiasm of the most emphatic kind. The opera was “Lucia,” and the interpretation of the title role by Mme. Nilsson will ever be remembered as one of her most beautiful lyric portraits. Last evening her impersonation was charming, and ‘her pure, sympathetic voice, which reflects so faithfully every phase in the career of the hapless bride of Lammermoor as the librettist gives it, was in tts best condition. Capoul, although the music of Edgardo at umes is beyond the reach of his natural voice, seems to appreciate the exigencies of the role so well and acts in such an impassioned manner that he gives satisfaction where a less demonstrative tenor would fail to win applause. Maurel’s Ashton is full of histrionic and vocal attraction. His nobility of expression aS a0 actor and singer in any rdle he undertakes stands him in good stead in the rdle of the revengeiul brother of Lucy Ashton. A word o! praise is due Messrs, Scolara and Boy, | as Raymond and Arthur, for their conscientious efforts in roles which are generally butchered in this city. The chorus and orchestra were admirably conducted last evening by Signor Muzio. The sextet, “Chi mi Folna,”’ was tumultuously encored, and We cannot recollect an occasion on which it Was sung With such electrical effect, Lyceum Theatre. Last evening @ dramatic entertainment, whose | Monetary results are to be given to the Central Dispensary, was given at the Lyceum Theatre, Sheridan Knowles’ play, “The Hunchback,” was performed, with Mr. T. ©, King in the character of Master Walter. Mr. King’s assistants, who were mainly amateurs, Supplemented his efforts very successfully, Mrs. Etta Manning’s acting was particularly pleasing, as it expressed a clear con- ception of the character she assumed.

On Monday afternoon Dr. Max Broeker, of Forsyth street, and another physician, were sum- moned before Coroner Eickhoff to explain why they had given a certificate in a case of accident, it being clearly a matver for the Coroner to in- vestigate, as decided by the Board of Health, they having rejected the certificate. Ignorance of the law was the plea of Dr, Broecker, whereupon the Coroner explained the Jaw in relation to givin; certificates and warned him to be more careiu! in future, The same evening, however, Dr. Broeker was guilty of a similar violation, in giving & certificate in the case of Frederick Eversmann, who died at No. 8 Second avenue, as is alleged, from fracture of the left side of the pelvis and Other injuries, caused bya fall from a ladder on the corner of Duane and Church streeis, ‘this certificate, as in the former case, was also rejected by the Health Board, and the matter referred to Coroner Eickhott, who directed Dr. Marsh to make @ post-mortem examination. For this gross dis- regard of the law the Coroner determined to ar- rest Ur, Broeker, and accordingly issued a war- rant and placed it in the hands of the police for execution, prisonment in the County Jail not exceeding one year andafine of not more than $500, or both such fine and imprisonment, | i" Tne Gillespie Homicide—Gillen Released on Bail, Coroner Eickhof yesterday concluded his inves- | tigation in the case of Michael Gillespie, whose | death, it was alleged, resulted from a stab wound inflicted with @ knife in the hands of John Gillen, | on the 8th ult., while quarrelling 1n front of No, 63 Mulberry street, as previously reported in the HERALD.

He then fired at Cherry and shot nim through the bowels, Before any one could interpose Abeil put the pistol to nis own breast and shot himself just below the breast.

Arrived at Voik’s he seemed in good spirits and invited several acquaintances to drink with him. They did so, and he then retired to a rear apartment and shot himself through the side with an old pistol. When his friends heard the report they rushed in and found him lying senseless on the floor. No cause could be assigned tor the deed, he having simply said in a jesting manner to his comrades, “i'm long enough in the world now, boys.’? He had entered into no quarrel with anybody.

Two Italian Hatters Quarrel and Are Killed— Murder and Suicide. another tragedy. Not far from the spot where the policeman Doyle shot the girl Lawier two Italians quarreled yesterday, One shot the other and then shot himself, and both died instantly. The circum- Stances of the tragedy are as follows:—At a quar- ter past seven o'clock yesterday morning these Italians met opposite No, 139 Prince street. They had @ short, angry altercation in the Italian lan- guage, heard by a lady who lived opposite, and was partaking breakfast. Shortly afterwards she neard two shots fired. She ran out and saw the two men lying in the street, one on the area way and the other On the sidewalk. One of these men was named Anthony Barlt and the other Peter Tarchint. Barli came to this country about two years ago, at the instance of Mr. Dunlap, the hatter, who de- sired to engage hig, for the manufacture of what are known as opera hats, Barli appears to have been an adept in this particular manufacture, and botit employer ana employed were well satusfed with each other. ‘This arrangement was, however, at length disturbed by the cupid- ity or enterprise of some fellow countryman of Barli’s, and proposals were made to him to leave the employment of Mr. Dunlap and go into busi- ness himself. This proposition, after some little time had elapsed, was accepted by Barli, and he entered into partnership with two Italians named Tarchini and Sicardi. These men opened a store at No, 575 Broadway, and the firm was known as Barli, Tarchint & Sicardi, opera hat manufacturers. There is & contict of testimony as to the rela- tionship existing becween alleging that it was peacefui and pleasant, others stating the contrary; but the tes- mony is unilorm that the business was profitable. Whatever may be true as to the motives, it is certain that Barli, who was the head of the tirm, was eith-r duced or compelled to dissolve his connexion with the tirm some two months ago. About a week ago Tarchini met Barli at the Hotel de Roma, No. 36 East houston | street, where the latter boarded, and there was | then a very excited and very angry talk, and it is | known that it was about business, and the way in Which Barli had been put out of the firm. Since Barlt Jeit the firm he has been doin; business in Broome street, near Broadway, an there is reason to suppose that his meeting with Tarchini yesterday morning was not accidental, but meditated, and probably with a predetermina- tion to carry out this dreadiul tragedy, Tarchini resided on the west side of town, namely, No. 251 West Houston street, near Varick, and was going | to his place of business when he met Barli, or Baril who accosted him. ‘There are several witnesses to the shooting, and all say that previous to the firing angry words passed from one to the other. Barli, in #& minute alterwards, drew a revolver from bis pocket and shot Tarchini in the breast, the ball passing into tne body. Tarchini fell heavily to the sidewalk, whereupon Barli placed the muzzle of the revolver near his right temple and fired. He tell dead be- side his lifeless victim, and a crowd speedily gath- ered around the bodies, The second shot was heard by the Sergeant of the Eighth precinct, who Was sitting at tie desk, and he immediately des- patched an officer who had just come in with a Temale as a prisoner to see where the shooting Was. A message was speedily afterwards sent to the station house that the were = required, and the two _ilileless bodies were taken there to await the action of Coroner Woitman, who was immediately notified at the Coroners’ office of the dreadful cir- cumstance, On the arrival of the Coroner the $100 10, sixteen gold English sovereigns and a gold watch and chain. Barli had $6 61, a snulf box and some other small articles of little value. For purposes of medical examination the bodies were | Sent to the Morgue, but the friends of both of the deceased will undoubtedly claim their remains tor decent interment. tion of being the moneyed partner of the business, Was thirty-six years old. He leaves a widow and two. small children. Barli was filty years of age. He was unmarried aud had boarded at the Hotel de Koma, in Houston street. The inquest will be held to-day at the Coroners’ office. ‘the fellow-workmen of Barli, who called at the station house could not believe that it was Bacli who had committed the murder. They said he was too inoffensive ibe could not speak a word of English, and they al #0 say that this was a difficulty sometimes and causea him Ano anges DUT that he always vore it Poon: nature 9, hey were therefore at a loss fo ac- count for the outbreak of so dreadful a spasm of passion as that which they were compelled to hear are from the Aree His late partner, Mr, Stc- ardi, gives a ditétent Versiot to this. He says that Barli was a man of violent temper that he was determined to have his own way, and that Tarchini remonstrated with Barlt about this, in cons that Barli had frequently threatened him. Tarchini, | garded them as idle words, and thought that time would heal all differences.

WONDERFUL BILLIARDS. ——_——_—— Maurice Daly Makes the Biggest Run on Record=The Match Last Night at Tammany Hall—Dion Defeated. A billiard match took place last evening at Tam- many Hall, in Fourteenth street, between Messrs, Cyrille Dion and Maurice Daly. It was not a cham- pionship match, but a French three bail carrom | game, for a purse of $2,000, 600 points up. The | hall was not crowded, there being about 1,000 | persons present. Tne referee for Dion was | Mr. Newhall, of Boston; for Daly, Mr. Post, of | Jersey City. The umpire was Mr. Bigler. In the | pools Daly was slightly the favorite, Daly won | Ones at present that have shut their doors, the | the lead and counted, scoring 2, Dion made a bad miss and Daly scored 6 Cyrille made a very retty little run of 11 and to 1 by Daly, ran 4, aly Made a miss on a hard round the table snot and | Oyrille went in again determinedly, and made 17, | | going out on a bad miss. Daly again failed to count, and Dion followed with 1, Some very indif- | ferent play succeeded for a time, the scoring being about equally bad on both sides, On the seventeenth inning Dion went in on an easy set up, and nursed the balls up and down the | left hand cushion most exquisitely, scoring | 65—the best run of the game thus far. Daly | played @ poor game until the forty-fourth inning, | When be again made a brilliant spurt and | counted up 43 during the run, succeeding in a mag- | nificent masse shot in the upper left hand corner. Dion making amiss, Daly once more toek the balls in hand and piled up the points by more | dexterous nursing than he had yet made in the | game. During this the excitement became pro- | digious, and as Daly approached the | score of his opponent the applause was | terrific, The shouts, clapping of hands and | stamping of jeet made the building shake and made Mr. Dion look very blue. It was the first | really interesting moment of the game, and when | the player on his ninety-second point brought him- | self up to his opponent, the enthusiasm was | delirious, He went out alter a wonderful run of | 212. The good humor of the audience was entirely re-established. The score here stood—Daly, 469; ; Dion, 349, | An intermission was taken after this, and the en- tnusiasm of the audience found vent in conversa- tion and refreshment. Cyrilie Dion alter the inter- mission took the balls and made 1, when Daly went in to counts. Dion shortly after added 39 to | his score in a run, and began to show his old leonine courage. Magnificent shots on both sides, but small runs, succeeded. Daly | shortly — aiter, however, made a run of 27, very brilliantly done. The game in this manner continued, nothing being done of a remarkable character by either of the players. Dion continued | to remain in the same relative position, and fatled | to gain anything on nis adversary. At the sixty- | fourth inning the game stood—Daly, 582; Dion, 457. At this point, however, when Cds bea had put on his hatand overcoat to go home, Dion perversely began @ run which threatened to chauge the as- pect of the game. It was haif-past twelve, and | the excitement again began. After making 81, | Dion, however, faued, though he gave his oppo- | nent arather painful moment. Daly went out on ae 9, and @ most remarkable game termi- nated, THE SCORE.

Starr and others opposed such a course, when Mr. Kaulman withdrew his resignation, to renew it at the next | meeting. | Commissioner Stephenson stated that the office of Chiet Clerk on Ward’s Island was vacant, and it was essential that the vacancy should soon be filled. He therefore nominated tor the position Mr. Frank Goodwin, how employed on the island, and hoped he would be appointed. | Commissioner Kaufman opposed the idea of , filling such an et et le by one so young, and not properly qualified to discharge its many duties, The Chief Clerk suould speak at least three languages, besides possessing other qualfi- cations which Mr. Goodwin had not, He did not | have anything against the young gentieman nom- | mated, but it Was very desirable that tue place | should be properly filled. | Commissioner Stephenson thought that Mr. | Goodwin was in every way iully qualided to thoroughly discharge the duties of the oilice, and, | to cut off further debate, moved the previous ques- tion. | Commissioner Kauforan—I don't like that kind | of “gag law,’’ The previous question, however, was carried, but the motion to appoint Mr. Goodwin was lost, ‘The Board then went into executive session.
