Litre Roex, Ark., May 2, 1874, 1t, was romored here this morning that King White’s movement of the Baxter militia towards Arkansas county was strategic; that he had rid- den from Pine Bluf during the night with acom- pany of cavairy, and had occupied Capttol Hill, on the outskirts of the city. This overlooks the city, and was the proposed site for the new State House before it was placed where it now is. There are here still the remains of a fort and earthworks, which were thrown up during the late war. There have, however, been no details received.

With tne matinée pertormance of “La Favorita’ yesterday, at the Academy of Music, the musical season of 1873 and 1874 may be considered as at an ena. It has been an exceptionally brilliant season, abounding in novelties ana showing con- siderable progress in managerial enterprise. The terrible financial crisis through which the busi- ness community passed last fall, and which tended to paralyze every effort of managers and block the wheels of art progress, produced iittle effect as faras musical attractions ‘were concerned. In opera the season has been exceedingly fruitful. We have had the lyric article served up ina va- riety of ways, irom the substantial dishes of Italian opera to the tantalizing enirdes of opéra bouffe. Strakosch has given us Italian opera as it has never been presented in this city before Kellogg has won fresh laurels in the realms of Engish opera; Maretzek has shown what phenomenal artists like Di Murska, Lucca and Tamberlik can do; Rullman has crowded the dingy auditorium of the Stadt Theatre ; Neuendorf has ilinstrated the Teutonic idea of comic opera at the Germania Theatre, and Aimée has revived the palmy days of opéra bouffe at the Lyceum. The Strakosch Itatian opera season commenced at the Academy of Music on September 29, 1873, ‘with Nilsson, Capoal and Del Puente in “La Travi- ata” and closed yesterday with Lucca, Vizzani and Del Pnente in “La Favorita.”” One hundred and fifty-seven representations were given during the season, the following being the operas and their respective number of representations ‘Aida,"’ 28 times; “Les Huguenots,” 17 times; ‘aust,’? “Mignon,” 14 3, “Lohengrin,”’ 13 ‘Lucia,’ 12 times; “Il Trovatore,” 11 “La Traviata,” 10 times; “Ernani,” 9 “Don Juan,” 8 times; ‘Martha,’ 9 times; “Lucrezia Borgia,’’5 times; “La Favorita,” twice; “Fra Dtiavolo,” once; “La Sonnambula,” once; “Rigoletto,” once. Eighty-iour performances were given in New York and Brooklyn, aud 73 in Philudetpnta, Baltimore, ‘Vashington,’ Cincin- nati, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwauxee. Loledo, De- troit, Boston, Provideuce and Hartford. The principal members of the company were:—Prime donne soprani, Nilsson, Lucca, Torriani, Maresi; prima donna contralto, Cary; primi tenori, Campanini, Capoul; primi Tie toni, Maurel, Del Puente, Scolara; "1m0 basso, Nannettl; che d’oronestre, uzto ; assistant director, Behrens; stage manager, Von Hamme; business manager, Mr. J. O. Fryer. “AYda” and “Lohengrin” were brought out here in advance of London or Paris, and placed on the stage in magnificent style. Three extra periorm- ances will be given before the company leave New York—one this evening, for the benefit of Mr. Fryer, consisting of Rossini’s ‘‘stabat Mater” and other sacred selections, in which Nilsson, Torriani and Lucca and the rest of the Company appear; second, on Monday afternoon, ior the benefit of M. Capoul, in which Nilsson, Di Murska. Lucca and Torrtani will take part, and the third on Tuesday, a8 a testimonial to Manager Strakosch, in which Lucca and Di Morska will sing. Part ot the com- pany, then leave for Europe and the others for a estern concert tour. The otner Italian opere seasons were given at the Grand Opera House, Lyceum and jemy of Music, The only members of the original company worth according were Lucca, Di Murska and Tam- berlik. After the two or three nights’ disastrous season at the Lyceum the two first-mentioned artists went to Havana, only to plunge into further financial difficulties, and the great tenor returned to Europe, nancial misfortunes crashed, in this case, an enterprise that at the out- set looked very barra Miss Keltogg’s ion of English opera proved successful beyond the most ranguine exp ons of the prima donna and her friends. During ner two weeks’ engagement at the Academy of Music She drew crowded houses, and the receipts ex- ceeded even tnose of the Parepa- ntiey season. German opera at the Stadt Theatre and at the pretty little Germania temple has flourished with unwonted vigor this season and promises to last | into the summer montbs, to judge from the eiaborate preparations made for the forthcomt engagement of Mile. Iima di Murska at the Si Theatre, in the concert line Theodore Thomas has held his own triumphantly. His superb orchestra has been heard tn many important concerts, and he has enriched his valuable répertotre with noveities | of interest. The Philharmonic Society have pur- sued the even tenor of sheir ag bringing out one notable jeature of interest, the Arcadian sym- phony of one of their most valued and distin- guished memoers, George F. Bristow, and the Church Music Association has quietly yielded up the ghost. A host of smali concerts have been placed bejore the yee. and, in few instances only, have failed attract the public. Alto- gether a retrospective glance at the musical season of 1873-74 gives promise of a bright future in metropolitan art. Miss Netlson’s Farewell. Miss Netison’s farewell performance at Booth’s last night was attended by a crowded and enthu- stastic audience. At the conclusion Miss Neilson was calied before the curtain, and took leave of her dramatic admirers in the following neat speech :— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :—If the word suggested to me by your kind recall were “Farewell” I | should peak it witha heavy beart, Asa repre: , sentative of the more womanly characters of Shakespeare I am proud of your ap; ation; as @ woman | thank you irom my heart.

Give me the assurance that the recognition, the welcome and the encouragement shall ve as of old and during the brief term o! our separation, When to the sesstons of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, the future will indeed be bright before me,” The dramatic sensation of the week will be Miss Netlson’s first reading in America. on next Thurs- day, at Steinway Hall, This charming lady is only known to the American public as a very clever actress, whose personal beauty gives her a rather untair (or too fair) advantage over her rivals, and no doubt public curiosity will be excited to know with what chance of a tavor- able decision she can challenge criticism as a reader. The interest in this question will, no doubt, be neightened by the fact that Charlotte Cushman, the great tragedienne excellence, is also giving readings, which will allow the curtons in these matters to compare the styles of tne two artista, Miss Newson has already ap- peared as a reader in London and was greatly ad- mured, Her “Whmwadra,"’ from Racine, and Con- greve's “Love tor Love” were especiaily com- mended by the critics. Both these pieces wil be inciuded 1m the first reading on thursday next. Musical and Dramatic Notes. “Love’s Penance" still holds out gallantly at the Park Theatre. Mise Ada Gray appears Monday night as ‘Leah, the Forsaken.” Marietta Ravel appears in ‘“Jartine; or, The Pride of the Fourteenth,’ at Wood’s Museum to-morrow night, “Go West,” a sensational sketch, will be among the attractions at the ever amusing Bryant’s Min- Streis’ this week. “The Rounder; or, New York in Chapters,” a local absurdity, will be the attraction during the week at the Metropolitan. Er and Gerard Byne reappear to-morrow night at the Theatre Comique in their original speciality sketch “The Four Cousins,” Oliver Doud Byron has transferred nis opera- tions to Mrs, Conway’s Brooklyn Theatre. On Monday night he appears as Ben McUullough. Miss Edith Wynne will be the principal vocalist at the triennial festival of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society, woicn commences on Fuesday. » Fox enjoys an unbounded success at the Broad- way Theatre. The popularity of “Humpty Dumpty” seems to have beon forged time-prool. “Wildcat Ned’’ wiil be revived at the Bowery on Monday night. Ifthe boys aro not delighted with terrible sensations they must be very dificult to please. The Olympic announces an entire change of pro- gramme, but Sheridun and Mack remained an- changed, and will play ‘“Hookey” and “Little Fraud’ by request. Miss Jennie Hughes, the popular comedienne and vocalist, appears to-morrow night at the Metropolitan Theatre in a local burlesque especially written for her. Mile. Ima di Murska begins an engagement at tne Stadt Theatre in German opera on Thursday next, under the direction of Mr, Fred Ruliman, Mile. Pauline Canissa ts also in the same com- pany. The scenery at Wallack’s in ‘School’ would more than repay a visit to the theatre, but when to this attraction is added an aumirable play, well acted, the temptation to go to Wallack’s ought to be irresistibie, The sacred concert at the Academy of Music is the feature of interest to-night. Tne programme of Manager Strakosch’s testimonial beneiit, which | will take piace on Tuesday evening, 1s as fol- | lows :—‘Faust,”” first act; Der Freischuetz,” second act; “Dinorah,” second act; “Lucrezia | Borgia,” second act; ‘‘Hamiet,” last act, Lucca and Di Murska appear. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT AT ARSON. A nefarious.attempt at arson was reported yes- terday morning by Captain Allaire, of the Twenty- first precinct, which might have resulted ina de- plorable loss.of life. The house which has escaped being memorable 1n the tragic annais of this city is one of two tenement houses situated at Nos. 203 and 201 Lexington avenue. ‘he ground floor of No, 203 is occupied by Mr. Stealting, a respectable German butcher. The cellar under his store was used by bim for storing away empty casks, pack- ing materials and some of the implements of his business, This cellar was a perfect tinder box, everything in it being as dry as chips. All the The match macerials for @ fine blaze were there. only had to be applied. Between three and four o'clock yest ing Officer Brophy noticed an unusi light in the area o! light reached the street through @ in the door leading irom the cellar to the area. Brophy saw at once that there was something wrong and entered the house by the front door. In the hallway, near the top ofthe stairs, he en- countered aman who afterwards gave his name as Owen Reilly. The officer insisted on having Reilly’s company in the cellar, id with that view dragged him into the midst of the blaze. Reilly very naturally objected, as the thing was rather hot for him, bat Pd revolver retained him an unwilling victim. It took the officer a con- siderable time to put out the fire, and then Reilly was taken to the police station as a prisoner. Reilly was not living in this house, His only reason for being there at such an untimely hour, according to his own statement, was that he had come for some shirts which one of the lodgers had in keeping tor him. He was in the employment of Mr. Byrnes, builaer and owner of the houses, 08 Wwhitewasher and general utility man, but on ac- count of unsatisfactory conduct ne was dismissed, Whether his ill fortune led him into the abomina- ble act of attempung to set tos house on fire must be decided by a jury. He has been held by Justice Sherwood for examination next Monday. In the house in question, which is a five storied butiding, there were nine iamilies, and among these there were nine women and ten children, Had the officer not come up atthe moment the staircase, which was right above the cellar, would have been burned down in a few minutes, and there would have been no means of egress for the uniortunate inmates except what the hook and ladder companies might have supplied. Mr. Stealting was not insurcd. Captain Allaire has secured the badly charred butcher’s block and the burned barrels, ana they enjoy the quiet of a cell at the Twenty-ninth precinet station house at this moment, THE WAREHOUSE AND RAILROAD BILL ALBANY, N. Y., May 2, 1874. ‘The Gardner Warehouse and Railroad bill was 80 amended before its final passage that nothing can | be done under it without the sanction of the Com- mission of Docks; but, in order to make sure that nothing wrong will be done, there ts so much Cpposition it that itis thonght very probable e Governor will veto it.

LAURENT LIBELLED, Seizure of a Steamship of the Transatlantic Company. Statements+of the Agents of the French and National Companies— Proceedings in Court—Fhe Vessel Is Bonded and Sails. The dificutty between the Nationa! and the Gen- eral Transatiangic Steamship companies bids fair to become etermal. It was originally started in consequence of the extraordinary statement made by Captain.Lemarie, of the Europe, regarding the manner in which he was saved by the Greece, and the latest phase of the misunderstanding took place yesterday when the steamship’ St. Laurent, | of the Transattantic line, was seized at pier 50 North River by United Siat larsul: Harlow, of the Eastern ‘district. Great was the surprise and the consternation of Captain Lachesnes. when Dep- uty Marahal Hawley went up to nim and served the Papers upor him, taking at the same time powses- sion of the vessel, Steam was already. up, and | some of the’ passengers were already abuard. Many were under the impression that she would not sail on Saturday. Among the Frencisatiors the excitement was very great, and they all seemed to be under the impression that they would be conveyed to jail, Toe following 1s the libel upon which the process for the attachment was tesued on Friday atter- noon by the United States District Court for the Eastern district, Judge Benedict presiding :— To the Hon.

D, Bene- dict, of counsel. Statement of Mr. Mackenzie. A HERALD reporter called upon Mr. George | Mackenzie, of the French Transatiantique line, to | ask him the reason of the sudden change of front | by the manager of the National Line. Mr. Macken. | gie seemed to feel the position in which he was | placed very keenly, and said that this libelling of the St. Laurent was quite unexpected to him, He sata that the National Line at first stmply pre- sented @ bill for $16,400, and that at the time he wrote Mr. Hurst @ letter, saying that he would be ovliged to send this bill to tus principals tn Paris, but that it would be all rignt ultimately if he would wait @ littie time. a further was | said on the subject until the suit for $30,000 was sprang upon him. He believed the suit was the result of malice and a desire to give troubie to the company. Mr. Hurst knew that ‘The Compagnie Transatiantique could give plenty | of security, aud that there was no danger in leay- ing the matter tn aveyance ior some time. He jd there would be no troubie in the St. Laurent | leaving, a8 he could eastly find the securities in the suit and release the vessel before the time for her departure, Mr. Mackenzie added that the statement in the libel that he had neglected and Felused to pay the sum demanded was faise, asin | his letter he distinctly said that be must submit the bill to the company in Paris; but tuis would Not affect the final settlement, STATEMENT OF MR, HURST, Areporter of tne HERALD also called upon Mr. Hurst and asked him nis object in seiziag upon the St. Laurent. Mr. Hurst said he was, of course, sorry for the misiortunes of the French line, tut if. they did not pay thelr bills the only ting to do was to make them, and the usual | way of doing this was to seize any property the | debtors owned. This bill to the iransatlaniique had been sent in some two weeks ago, and since Mr. Mackenzie's first letter acknowledging its re- ceipt and sayu ng i would be sent to Paris he haa heard nothing about it. It is true there was no time to receive an answer by mail, but Mr. Mac- kenzie haa probably torgotten there was such a thing as a telegrapi across the ocean, which could | have been used. On the other hand, what ce: tainty had he that there would be an opportunity to seize upon able property of the French company if tuey continued to neglect to pay tnis bill? As for the reason of the charge of 000 instead of $16,000, the firat price had been merely that for carrying the passengers. But when one came to consider the danger that was incurred and the de- layinthe midst of a storm, incurring risk and many other items Of actual expense which had not been at first calculated in the original and considering on the whole the conduct of tne officers ofthe Europe and persons belonging to the French Company he thought there was no reason why any release should be made to them. The National Line was indebted to the Transatian- tique ior bo favors, and there was no reason why | they should grant any. The libelling of the 5 | Laurent was not done to prevent her sailing or in any way to embarrass the company, but mere! tn . Mackenzie should get sureties, which he cap do immediately. ‘The solicitor o1 the National Line states that Mr. Mackenate was informed of the proceedings in tt for him to bond tne vessel; that security for her entire value was waived and a much smaller bond tak \d that the justification of sureties, which takes four days, Was hurried on in an iniormal manner at the request of Mr. Mackenzie’s solici- tor as a matter of cor and accommodation to the Transatlantique Company. He states also that the object of this suit was to establish a claim legally, and that the agent of the National Line was et Dah his company to take the course he Mr. Mackenzie bonded the vessel at one o'clock yesterday in-the office of United States Commis- sioner Owen, and be furnished two securities of | $00,000 each. ‘The St. Laurent in the aiter- noon a little later than the hour announced.
