Earl Derby believed that the peace of the im- mediate future was safe and he trusted in the in- | fluence of time. England, he said, would do every- thing to maintain peace, short of embrolling her- self in a struggle in which she is not not nation- aly interested, She would regard obsolete trea- | ties as open questions apd {aith{ully adhere to her engagements of late years, AMERICAN BOUNDARY CLAIMS AND NEUTRAL RIGHTS.

Italian Opera—Capoul’s Benefit. There was another enormous house at the Acad- ewy of Music yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the farewell benefit of the admirable tenor, M. Victor Capoul. The performance was & very re- markable one, introducing four prime donne and the entire force of the Strakosch opera company. It commenced With the first act of ‘Fra Diavolo,” in which the bénéfciaire and Mme. Pauline Lucca, Mile. Frida De Gebele, Scolara, Boy, Coletti and Barill took part. It was a signal ovation for the “Kleine Paulina.” The Swedish nightingale then bade au revoir to America—not adieu— in the immortal scene with Raoni in the fourth act of “The Huguenots.” She seemed determined to leave @ lasting impression behind her and to have her last notes the or for her impersonation of the pas- sion tossed Valentine at the moment when love, auty and extreme peril contend for mastery, and the shadow of the massacre of St. Bartholomew falls upon the devoted pair, was more impressive and electrical in effect than ever. Capoul ne the trying music of Raoul surprisingly well an: without transposition, too. His voice was never beiore during the present season in such admira- ble condition, and, hard as the task was that he set forth ior himself yesterday, he went through it unflinchingly and in every case with success. To sing the most difficult selections from the rdles of Fra Diavolo, Raoul, Radames and Edgardo at one performance is a serious undertaking for an) tenor, and it 18 @ proor of the high ability of M. Capoul to be able to state that he accomplished such & work, Mile, Ostava Torriani appeared in the third act of ‘“AYda,” and, with the tenor and Del Puente, sang its atriking numbers with spirit and expression, The performance closed with the last act of “Lucia,” in which Mile. Ima Di Murska sang the mad scene. The phenomenal voice of this great artiste was displayed to the best possi- ble advantage, and the Spplanse which followed her wondertul rendering the florid masic of Donizetti was overwheiming, Floral tributes of the most costly and varied kind were laid at her feet. no less than a dozen large baskets of fowers being among the number. It was, taken ali in all, avery remarkable operatic periormance and a taeains tribute to such @ popular cenor as M. ‘apoul, Booth’s Theatre—Mr. John McCullough as “Spartacus.” Mr. John McUullough, who has long held a leading and honorable position as the head of the Call- fornia stage, opened an engagement at Booth’s Theatre last evening in Spartacus. It was doubly an act of courage on the part of Mr. McCullough to make this venture, for the theatre is the scene of the greatest achievements of the living Booth, and the part he assumed was one of the most strik- ing and dificult representations of the illustrious Forrest. Mr. McCullough achieved a triumph worthy of his illustrious predecessors, The audi- ence recalled the famous Hamlet nights of Eawin Booth, Long before the curtain rose the theatre was filled from pit todome, and when Mr. McCul- lough walked on the stage the chained and captive gladiator, he was welcomed with incessant and tumultuous applause. . Spartacus is one of these half-mytnical, half- forgotten personages whose character has always been written by partisans, As the leader ofa ser- vile insurrection, history has treated him llkea brute and a barbarian—as it bas treated Jack Cade, Wat Tyler and Toussaint L’Ouvertare. The Principle for which he contended was the principie t rty, a8 pure and holy as the liberty for which Washington fought and Hampden died. The Spar- tacus of last evening was cast in this generous type. If he was not the gladiator of history he was the gladiator-chiet of the imagination, and ‘We have no doubt nearer the historical type than what we see in the dark calumniating pages of the Roman chronicles. The performance of Mr. McCujlongh reminded us naturally of Forrest. The part was the creation of Forrest. Mr. McCullough, as our theatrical readers will remember, was lor many seasons the com- eat and lamented tragedian, accompanying him in many of his later engagements. The relations between the two actors were of @ character so paternal and affec- tionate that we would naturally expect from Mr. h almost a reverent expression of the spirit of dead master. In many respects we observed this expression. But it cannot be called imitation & | servile copying, as an actor Mr. peuaouss has a finer and freer manner than Forrest, rest was & magnificent type of manhood, but his face naturally expressed the flercer and more ter- ible passions. Mr. McCullough, like Forrest, hag the comely grace of perfect manhood—of ath- letic stature and mould, with the thews and sinews of the gladiator. More than this, he has a fineness of touch, a glad expressiveness of feature, a bright, genuine, wiuning quality which Forrest never suc- ceeded in expressing. In the recognition of his wife and child in the streets, the discovery of his brother Juntise tay are about to grapple in the death encounter, there was a pathos in the Spar. tacus of Mr. McCullough, an intense beauty of bea which Forrest never surpassed. Mr. McCullough rose to the requirements of his arduous task, and if the public acclamation has any value, his success was of the most gratifying character. The cheering was frequent, rapturous and prolonged, as in the measured cadences of his stately declamation he spoke of the wrongs which Roman tyranny had heay summoned his fellow bondsmen to insurrection. In the beginning there was a little nervousness meio toa new a before euew rr ae but 8 soon passed away. ie applause Tose Imgher and higher to the end, Pend ut the close of each act he was called before the curtain. The scenery was fine, all the appoint- ments were of @ simptuous character, and the support was thorough and harmonious. Altogether, Spartacus is one of the most admirable and in- Btrotive bits Of acting now on the stage, and we alate Mr. McCullough, ag well asthe Uall- stage which he represents, upon a success 8 uch has not been achieved in New York by any tragedian for a long time. The Lyceum Theatre. This charming little theatre has at length been turned to its legitimate use as house of high comedy, and we sincerely hope that the new de- parture which has been taken by the management will meet the public support which it deserves, Sheridans, magnificent comedy, “The School for Scandal,” was produced last night with unlooked- for completeness. Iike all good comedies, Shert- dan’s play 1s very dimcult to produce in a satisfac- tory manner, on account of the number of roles demanding more than average ability to present them fairly.

Miss Oharlotte Cushman gave the fourth of her series of readings at the Academy of Music last evening. The building looked almost as it does on the night of a favored opera: but the large audi- ence, was not enthusiastic. Miss Cushman’s selections were not so good for the display of her powers as those that composed her Previous programmes. The first reading was of the Orst five scenes of the second act of “Romeo and Juliet.” There are in these, unfortunately for Miss Cushman, several periods whereat it is necessary for the volce to be pitched very high, as, for in- stance, in the replies of Juliet {rom the balcony to the repeated summons of her petulant nurse. There were but three other selections, the Dest of which was Longfellow’s m “The Skel- eton in Armor." The rhythm of this production ts somewhat monotonous and the rhymes need to be strongly emphasized. Miss Cushman read it very effectively, using the same cadence at the end of each line, In any other m such & practice would not be satisfactory, but to this one it is ex- tremely suitabie and oxpenenes just the manner which Longfellow conceives the ghost of a stern viking speaking from out of the armor that inurn his bones would use, Musical and Dramatic Notes. The Khedive of Egypt bas a pet pianist pamed Ketten, Mme. Ristori expects to be tm Mexico in Septem- ber and in Havana next February. Miss Marie Krebs, who some time since was such @ favorite at Steinway Hall, is winning golaen honors at St. James’ Hall, London. Herrman, the famous prestidigitateur, opens next Monday at the Academy of Music. In London he had a remarkable success, and the new tricks he brings with him will probably be the next sen- sation. A dramatic, performance by the Murray Hill Amateur Dramatic Association, will be given on next Thursday evening, May 7, at Lexington Ave- nue Opera House, in ald of the building iund of the Church of St. Agnes. “The Storm Over London,” now exhibited at the Colosseum, is the most marvellous mimicry of Datural phenomena ever produced. When the lightning flasnes the realistic effect is unsurpassed and must be seen to be appreciated. The sale of tickets for Miss Neilson’s readings at Steinway Hall is remarkably brisk and affords a good indication of the lady’s popularity. On Thursday night she will read “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” Tennyson’s famous poem. The benefit tendered to Manager Max Strakosch at the Academy of Musio this evening will consist of acts from “Faust,” “Der Freischttz,’’ “Dino- rah,” “Lucrezia Borgia” and “Hamlet,” in which Mme. Pauline Lucca and Mile. Ima di Murska will be the principal features, It appears that the Grand Upera House 1s not to be reopened until an indefinite date, and that Miss Luctlie Western has given up her contemplated engagement there. The concerts will be resumed, howe ver, the thirteenth of the series to be given on next Sunday. Probably the largest audience ever assembled in the Acagemy of Music was gathered on Sunday night, om the occasion of Mr. Freyer’s benefit. So great wasthe rush that after every nook and cranny was filled over $300 had to be returned to persons who could find no resting place. Mr. Jerome Hopkins’ last concert at the Aced- emy o: Music in aid of the free Orpheon achools which be has established in this city, and which through his indefatigable exertions have been productive of so much good to art, introduced many of his own orchestral works. They bear upon them the impress of @ cultivated musician and profound scholar. Little Bijou Heron continues to be the great attraction at Daly's. This charming child actress has quite carried off the laurels from her seniors, and with the laureis the hearts of the audience. Not a little of the great popularity of “Monsieur Alphonse” is due to this miniature jewel, which seems to have been cut expressly by that clever artist Nature, to fit into the piece. The Fifth Avenue is nightly besieged. In order that New York shall not enjoy a monopoly of “Monsieur Alphonse” a new cast bas been made up of the members of the Fifth Avenue company, to introduce the distinguished foreigner to the provinciais. The reserve company com- pares favorably with the existing cast, and per- haps the general merit is even more even. It will visit Paterson to-night, and on Friday night, the 8th inst., will be in New Brunswick, A week will be devoted to Washington, beginning the 11th, and to Philadelphia, beginning the 18th, Sarah Jewett, Minnie Conway, D. H. Harkins and Davidge will take the principal rdles, Sadie Vivian, a very clever child actress, will play Bijou Heron’s part. THE SHAWANGUNEK EXPLOSION. Testimony Before the Coroner’s Inquest— The Defective Condition of the Boller— Operatives Threatening to Stop Work Before the Disaster. NEWwsORG, N. Y., May 4, 1874, In the case of the Shawangunk boiler explosion Acting Coroner Joseph H. Situs continued the in- quest to-day. The jury, after the customary for- mality of viewing the remains of the killed, lis- tened to the testimony of witnesses, from which it was shown . that prior to the explosion the boiler was leaking badly, both liquor and steam, and nad been leaking more or less ever since the mill started, which was in October last. The defects could be plainly seen, and had been made the subject of conversa- tion frequently among the operatives, some of whom had threatened to stop work on account 01 them. One of the workmen testified that, in his Opinion, the cause of the boller’s explosion was that it gave way at the point of the journals. Physicians were examined as to tne cause of the Geath of the victims, after which an adjournment was taken unti! Friday morning, when the super- intendent and owner of the mi!! and the mechanics who recently repaired the boiler will be called on to testify. SNEAKING SAVAGES.

Kidnapping and Release of the State Auditor. Villages Pillaged by King White and His Men. Lrrris Rook, Ark, May 4, 1874. It waa generally understood that the Supreme Court of this State was to meet to-day, to take ac- tion on the appeal taken by Brooks m the case of “Brooks vs. Baxter, from the decision of the Cir- cuit Court, KIDNAPPING THE 8UPREMB BENCH. This morning the Baxterites received a dispatch from Memphis stating that Associate Justices Searle and Bennett were on the train for this Place. Justice Stephenson got on at Forrest City, ana gave your correspondent the following ac- count of the capture of Justices Bennett and Searle at Argenta, opposite Little Rock. SEIZURE OF THE TRAIN BY ARMED MEN. Several passengers went to the doors of the car to look out, when they were stopped by armed men, who had seized the train. They came into the car and asked if Bennett and Searle were in the car. Both answered to their names, Captain Williams, in command of the band of militia, said :— “I have orders to arrest you.” THE ARREST, Justice Bennett exclaimed, ‘whose authority?” “By the authority of Governor Baxter,” said Williams. Justice BENNETT.—“Have you s warrant?” WILLIAMS.—“‘No, sir.” Justice BENNETT.—‘‘Let us see your authority.’’ WULL1aMs.—‘‘T have my orders,” Justice BENNETT.—“I shall not go uniess you take me by force.” Aman named Davis here said, “You had better 0; they will take you, any way.” DRAGGED FROM THE OAR. They then surrounded Justices Bennett and Searle, took hold of their arms and took them out of the car. Before leaving they looked at Stephens, whom they evidently knew a8 & member of the Supreme Bench, but at last left without taking him, one of the band saying during a consultation, “Damn it, we only have orders for two.” ALARM OF OTHER PASSENGERS, The band were armed with shot guns and pistols, In the car were many women and children, who were much alarmed at this seizure of the train and the Judges by armed men. ‘The train was then allowed to proceed acrosa the bridge to this city, where it arrived about half past nine, THE CAPTIVES HURRIED INTO THE WOODS. The seizure of the Judges occurred about nine o'clock, On leaving the train they were gaken across the river in @ skiff, and then to St. John’s College, at the outskirts of the city. They spent the night there, and this morning were put on horses and, in charge of a band of cavalry, were taken into the country, and will probably be kept in the woods, PERSONAL DANGER OF THE JUDGES. This high-handed outrage caused much excite- ment here, and tt is thought that it will hurt Bax- ter very much, as such @ method of preventing the meeting of the Supreme Court by kidnapping a part of tne Bench looks bad. Where Justices Searie and Bennett now are, and whether aliveds a mat- ter about which there is mucn dount. Conductor Deshon, of the captured train, states that there were about sixteen men in all, armed to the teeth, and that they pointed pistols at the Judges to induce compliance with their wishes, It is thought that if tLe leaders of the Baxter party can control their subordinates the lives of the Judges are safe, as, if killed, Brooks would immediately appoint two in their places. . KIDNAPPING THE STATE AUDITOR. On the heeis of this event, at five o'clock this morning, Stave Auditor Wheeler was awakened by a knocking at the doors of his residence, He jumped out of bed and went down stairs, where he saw @ hack at the door. The driver said that General McCanany wanted to see him. Wheeler, not thinking of capture, said “ASK HIM TO COME IN,!” McCanany answered back for him to come out, He went out and some men who had been sta- tioned with guns on the other three sides of the house rushed up and put him by force into the carriage. He was driven down to the Anthony House. “Arrest us! by TAKEN BEFORE THE GOVERNOR, They tnere took him to Baxter’s room, woke Baxter up, and McCanany said, “1 beg pardon for acting without orders; but I thought it my auty to capture Wheeler, bring him to youand make him acknowledge you as Governor. [ will do the same with State Treasurer Page and Brooks if you say 80." RELEASED, Baxter gave orders to release him, much to the zealous MoCanany’s discomfiture, THE BROKEN ARMISTICE. This is the way in which the agreement has been kept which Baxter’s Major .General, Newton, signed the other day, that they would take no prisoners without giving six hours’ notice of the termination of the agreement, TUB GOVERNMENT TROOPS VIGILANT. The United States guards in the Denekla Block were doubled last night and the State House forces were extremely vigilant, expecting an attack all night. The sentinel of the regulars stationed near the river bank had two shots fired at him during the night. He returned the fire. INSUBORDINATION AMONG THR BAXTERITES. Baxter's Southern generals seem to be running things to sult themselvea now. Further news from Justices Searle and Bennett ia anxiously awaited, NEWS OF THE CAPTIVES, Traces of the Justices Found—Motive of the Capture—Rumored Ch: of Bax- ter’s Capital. LITrL® Rock, May 4, 1874. A party of regulars who reached St. John’s Col- lege this morning found a letter commenced in BARASWA handwriting addyensed ga ecu iriend, which the guards evidently would not allow him to Onish. RUMORED CHANGE OF THE BAXTER CAPITAL. Governor Baxter left the Anthony House for & ride this morning with s large body guard. There is some talk of his moving his government to Arkadelphia, and making that his capital. ADVERSE SENTIMENT IN WASHINGTON. It is said that since Judge Rose, one of Baxter's attorneys, returned from Washington, he told him tnatif the Supreme Court took action it would be respected there and would be regarded as final. Hence this unwarrantabie seizure of Supreme Court judges. It will be remembered that a few days ago the Baxterites attempted to capture Chief Justice McClure. RUMORED WHEREABOUTS OF THE CAPTIVES. The latest rumor is that the judges and the guards have been traced on the road to Pine Blufl. LATER FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. King White Pillaging Villages in Ar- kansas County—Safety of Judges Ben- nett and Searle. Lrrrty Rock, May 4—10 P. M. ‘The latest advices received here say that King White is still at Pine Blof, Some of his men went to Dewitt, Arkansas county, to seize the friends of the government, The Collector, hearing of their intention, left for Memphis. They entered the town, pillaged it, broke into the jail, released the prisoners, many of whom joined them, and it is re- Ported that a fight occurred. SAFETY OF THE JUDGES. A son of Judge Bennett received a letter this evening from his father, saying:—“I suppose you know Judge Searle and I were captured at Argenta last night. We are well treated and in no bodily danger. Don’t know when we will be released.” The letter was received through General Blocher, of Baxter’s forces, Searle, on the train, pulled out a pistol and refused to go, but they levelled several guns at him and he had to go. SUDDEN VIGILANCE. The Baxterites have now & guard across Mark- ham street, at the corner of Main street, and at the corner of Scott, They allow no one to pass, Your correspondent had to go around three blocus to send this despatch. Everybody is anxious to know what this sudden vigilance means, Baxter Again Guards the Telegraph Office—The Regular Troops Formed for Attack. Lrrruz Rock, May 4—11 P. M. Baxter has again practically seized the tele- graph office. There are guards posted about 100 yards away, and they allow no one to enter.

THE LABOR CRISIS. pocviteeicoeenentiort Action of Masters and Men on the Ten- Hour Question. Yesterday was the day named by the “boss” mechanics connected with the building interests in the city in which they were to return to the old ten-hour rule of labor. On the 7th of last month they adopted a resolution in the Mechanics and Traders’ Exchange, by which the master trades- men bound themselves to employ no man who would not work ten hours a day. Yesterday was, therefore, looked forward to with anxiety both by masters and men. It passed off rather quietly, however, and up to a late hour last night but few strikes were reported. A well known aa said yesterday to a HERALD reporter, in the Mechantés and Traders’ Exchange, that the acknowledged failure of em- ployers to compel a return to the old hours of labor was mainly due to the fact of the master masons and plasterers not having jotned the “bosses’ ”’ coalition, The truth of tne matter seems to be that masons, plasterers and bricklayera, whose work must be done here, and for wnom there is now plenty of work. could not afford to join carpenters, iron workers and others, a por- tion of whose labor may be done anywhere out of the city and sent here to be set up, It was, there- fore, Want of unity in action that prevented mas- ter tradesmen trom obliging compliance with their ten hour resolution.

He further sa! that the “bosses,”’ who urged this resolution so strongly at the meeting in Exchange place, were principally men who were already working ten hours with non-society men, but that most of the “bosses” had expressed themselves as unwilling to interfere with of disturb the harmony at cork existing between tnemseives aud the trades unions. The report was received with cheers, and the meeting soon after adjourned. Large Meeting of Coopers in Germania Assembly Rooms—Opposition to Em- ployers.
