She comes ‘from the ltaltan Opera at Paris, where she has achieved very great success, as well as at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, London. The very highest anticipations are felt in regard to Mile, Heilbron’s success in New York, and it is expected she will be as great a reigning favorite as bas been heard in this city for years. Mlle.

Considerable interest was excited vy tthe event among the theatrical public, as was evidenced by the crowded state of the house, not- owiths‘anding the unfavorable weather. Although the play was well put on the stage, the scenery being particularly good, there was not paid the same scrupulous attention to the costumes Which generally distinguishes this house. How- ever, the arms and equipments were sufficiently ancient to suggest correctness; but we regret to see the stage departing irom the close attention to this"detail of correct costume which gives so amnuch value to historical plays by putting the men before the audience in the dresses they wore in life, It may be well to recall here the fact that the | first repressntation of King Johu in which any- thing like correctnegs in point of costume was at- tempted was given by Kemble at the Covent Garden Theatre, London, It was then looked upon as a Aarmfal innovation, and Mr. Robinson Planché, who had suggested the idea to Kemble and was charged by him with the preparation of the ‘costumes, was regarded with little favor | by the theatrical world, nts was in 1823, | The success of the revival Went, however, beyond ali expectation, and $3, houses rewarded the managers tor their enterprisé. ae was a turning point in dramatic representations, and since the: Gens care has becn bestowed upon costumes an tings. Some disappomtment must have been felt last night by those who ex- pected to find a similar care exhibited tn the mat- Yer of costume, but in view oi the short time the play will keep the boards and the termination of the present management this week it is not dim- cult to account for the failure to keep up to the standard oj jormer efforts. It required some courage in tie management to put “King John” on the bill in view ol the demand the play makes for a large and good cast; but | -afver making Mr. McCullough bear the whole bur- den of entertaining the audience jor several weeks ‘the management ielt assured o/ success when he Should be supported by Mrs. Agnes Booto and Mr, J.

It is areal treat to see a ni ‘al man in armor, to see a man waik across the stage with his cuitaas OD and not appear to be aware of the tact. ‘The ordinary actor, a> soon as he puts a helmet on, struts about the stage in an awkward manner that prociaims to the least attentive eye that he 18 only @8bam man in armor, but Mr. McCul- jough was as easy, graceiul and natural as though ne had worn @ mailed suit all his life and won the amiles of beauty in a hundred tournaments. His conception of the daring, cynical man-at-arms was ite free [rom mannerisms and marked vy all the « Hest qualiues of his acting, ‘The tendency to ex- treme violence in expressing passion was kept ‘well in check, while the carcless banter o1 the poldier was delivered with easy grace, Mra. Booth, as Constance, gave new evidence of Ber creat dramatic power. The rdle isan exacting one and has been filled by tne great Siddons, who used to sit between the wings and listen to the plottings of Kings Philip and John in order to work herseli to the proper pitch of indignation. Tne scene where she learns the traitorous peace made between the French and Eng- lish Kings to her detriment was finely rendered, Haughty dignity mingled curiously with womanly tenderness ior her child, But the chiet dramatic interest centres in the scene between her and Cardinal Rarnduiph and King Philip, in which the distracted mother gives vent to uncontroilabie grief for the loss of her child, The part 13 some- what too heavy for Mrs. Booth, but she plays it with great intelligence, force and sympathy, and though we cannot class it as a great periormance itis one of remarkable merit. The Ring Join of Mr. J. B, Booth cannot be spoken of very highly. It {8 an honest endeavor to portray the cruel and paltry tyrant King, but the effort is disfigured by staginess and mannerisms, King Join is one of those characters in which great actors make themseives famous, and — mediocre talent loses itself, or in the attempt to exhibit a worthy conceptien falls short and leaves but a rude sketch, which fails to satisfy the public. Mr. Booth’s conception of the cuar- acter was sound and showed that he had studied the part intelligently, but his rendering of his | thought was uot equally happy. Miss Minnie Maddern, as Prince Arthur, deserves special praise for a most intelligent rendering of her part. The Hubert of Mr. Weaver Was also un- expectedly effective, “King John’? will remain on the bill during the week. Weare Niblo’s Theatre. ‘This theatre was reopened last evening with the reproduction of the romantic spectacular drama compilea from Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem, ‘The Lady of the Lake.” This play bas not had a place upon our stage for a number of years, and as it had great favor with tne theatregoers of the last generation, it has been fitly revived to mark the return to the post of manager of Mr. Charies R, Thorne, Sr., who years ago catered to the tastes of the ‘New York vheatre- loving — population. It was admirably put upon the stage, In the way of scenery nothing Could be desired, and in the matter of the dresses of the performers there was as strict adherence as could be to the directions of the poem and to what, with a lite license, may be termed the sartorial records oi the pertod of the play. With- Out these things and the equally important acces- sory of good music, the play that has been hacked outoi Walter Scott's great poem would be of the most depressing Kind. There is in it, when it is considered apart from its accessories, naught but haziness. No character is sharply defined, and the errant Knight of Snowdon is the only one in which is retained some of the poetic beauty and chivalric bravery with which the poet endowed it. But as the play 1s not given with the expectation that tt can stand upon its inherent merits there is small need to criticise it. With all its accompaniments it makes on enter: tainment that should be welcomed. It [s spec- tacular, but its scenery does not vitiate the taste; it will rather edycate the quality in thoge who have va Meant A Wedd Xiph ‘Crook’? Spectacies and fairy transformation scenes, he cast of the play is very large nd embraces some very ool actors, Mr. Joseph Wheelock plays the part o! Fitz James, the adventurous King of Scotland. Since his ad- vent upon the New York stage this actor has Pages many parts with fair success. Last night r. Wheelock played with a true appreciation of the part of Fitz James, and he looked as if break- ing lances in the cause of distressed damseis were his proper occupation. Mr. K. Eddy headed the programme, and was ex- pected to make Roderick Dhu the principal personage of the play. The height that Mr. Eddy as reached in the dramatic profession is, perhaps, a thing that people will differently estimate. his acting last night was very poor. Allthe actors of importance did suMiciently well in their parts. ‘The choruses, led usually by Mr. James Dunn, as Allan Bane, the Bard, were excellent. As beiore said, the piay deserves patronage, and Mr. Charles R. Thorne, Sr., is to be commended for the way in which he signalizes his return to theatrical man- agement in this city.

Seven Hundred Stages Withdrawn from the Streets, ‘The strike of the stage drivers continued yester- day, all the men going out on the different linea. The men presented themselves for work at six o’ciock yesterday morning, offering their services at the demanded rate of $3 a day, but refusing to work at the old rate of $2 50, ‘The bosses abso- lutely declined to give the @dditional fifty cents a day. By previous arrangement the men on the Fourteenth street line were allowed by the drivers on the other lines to run two trips, but after these were got through with the men refused to con- tinue at work unless at the $3 a day. ‘This the bosses refused, and the men went out. Whatever chance there had been that the strike would fail at the start was lost by this action of the Fourteenth street line, and by nine o’clock the leaders of the strike felt assured that the action of the men would be marked by unanimity, At each of the stables a (ew men ventured to take out the teams, but alter a trip abandoned the work and announced to the employers that they would join the strikers, The men then resolvea to wait until the afternoon before taking any ‘urther action, when a meeting would be held and an organization effected, They wandered about the stables and in the neighborhood of them collected in groups discussing the situation, but not showing the slightest inclination towards disturbance of the peace. Superintendent Matsell had given instruc- tions to the captains of the precincts in which the stables are located to have the employers fully pro- tected and protect, at all hazards, the satety of any new men who would undertake to drive. Only afew men ventured to take the places of the strikers, On the Madison avenue line one of these, after making the first round of @ trip abandoned his horses in the street, taking with him the $6 the employers had given him to be used for change money, The horses and stage were taken charge of by a policeman, who sent them to the owner, the latter being obliged to pay some few dollars to the man who took them home. The employers seeing that affairs were taking @ turn that showed the deter- mination of the men to insist upon the demand, resolved to discontinue running aitogether, so that before noon ailthe lines were idle. Mean- while both the employers and the men were busy at work on the consideration of the difficulty, but mo agreement could be arrived at between them, and by degrees the men scattered (arther away from their respective headquarters, and the committees began to grow busy in throwing out scouts and taking the pre- cautions usually put in operation by strikers, The organization of “the men’ was admirably quiet and orderly, showing cool determination, though as yet no hostiuty to any strangers who might become engaged in their places. The bosses on their part evinced no desire to nettle the feelings of the men by exhibiting any undue eagerness to employ the applicants who had presented themselves tor work as drivers. The police kept close watch at each or the stables, a few officers being detatied at each to revent any disturbance, and others being detailed in the neighborhood of the headquarters ot the strikers, at No. 216 East Forty-tirst street. Early in the aiternoon the men began to arrive at this place, all being sober and orderly, but in the best of good humor. Reports were received irom the committees during the aiternoon, declaring that all was quiet along the line. At three o’clock there must have been about 350 men here collected, all of them stage drivers, though some of them not holding permanent positions on any of the lines, MEETING OF THE STRIKERS.

The arivers wanted to give their families filty cents a day more than they had been giving them, and it was for that purpose they had struck. They believed they had the sym- pathy of the community with them. The several speeches were received with unbounded enthusiasm by the men, who cheered to the echo. A resolution was unanimously adopted thanking the drivers of the Fourteenth street line for the united manner in which one and all had come to the strikers’ party and leit the bosses, A resolution was 990 Adopted agreeing “that the men on strike should eich morning at the uspal hone, six o'clock, present themseives at the | offices of the respective lines for which they had worked and offer their services at $3 aday; bus that, should the bosses continue to oppose the demand, then the men should refusé to go to also adopted pr viding for a daily at the headquarters, and an adjourn- ment ten took place. The strikers remained alter the meeting, pat- tronizing the lager beer in the neighborhood, but resolved, as some ol their own members ex- ee it, to prove by their conauct that, though ard cases enough, they Kuew enough to “pick up | passengers on a pinch.’ MEETING OF THE STAGE PROPRIETORS, At four o’clock the proprietors ot tue several stage lines met at the Hotfman House jor the pur- pose of considering the situation. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Andrews, of the Filth avenue line, and Messrs, Marshal, McWilliams, Shephard and Evans representing the Madison, Broadway and ‘iwenty-third street, Fith avenue and Fourteenth street lines, which constitute all the stage lines in the city, the Fourth avenue being owned by the Fifth avenue line proprietors. Mr. Shephard denied altogether the statements made by the men. They had attempted to place the stage proprietors in a {alse position. No class of laborers in the United States were so well paid a8 the stage drivers. Their salary was $2 50 a day—iorty cents more than the car drivers got, although the latter’s work required them to stand all day and to work the break besiaes, Stage drivers received their wages every night, when their work was over, at their own option, What did poe rene Betorg the boxes were introduced on the Broadway and Twenty-third street line the , but the kg vg could not stand it.

Complaints were becoming too numerous, and in some flagrant cases ihe offenders had to be discharged. These discharged men had been fomenting discord and nad deliberately created this new idea among the great bulk of the men, who were very well satisfied with the wages tiey had been getting. Infact, nearly ali the men would have come back already were it not, a8 they themselves admitted, that, peaceable as the drivers seemed to be, it would not be saie jor any old driver to continue in his place. NO SURRENDER. The meeting then resolved unanimously not to give the increase of wages asked for by the men, even were the horses to stand tule for the next six months; nor to allow that employés, who had always been well treated, should “boss’’ tueir em- ployers. BOSSES’ ANSWERS, From conversations held with the proprietors, after the adjournment of the meeting, it was plain that, at least at the present time, there was neither likely to be a compromise or a concession. ‘They, one and all, complain that the men have been acting with such indifference tor any inter- ‘est except their own that it is necessary to com- pel some share of attention for employers’ inter- ests, They say that the stories told by the men about the fines and payments for breakages are the | LAY 26, 1874.—TRIPLE SHERT, merely tricks which are founsted on a very small graio of truth; tor instance, it has-been said oy them that when an accident occurs the driver has to pay the damages, whereas the truth is that the damages paid never, in the most extraordinary cases. exceed $5, and average $1, and are only im- posed at all when it is believed tliat it 1s necessary to do something in order to prevent tvo much carelessness on the part of the men, It 18 easy to see, the bosses say, how such fraudulent charges, in the hands of designing men, might be made to appear as real grievances. ‘he employers will continue to meet in order to secure unily of action as long as the strike con- tinues. THE CITY WITHOUT THE STAGES. A worse day could not have lallen upon the pro- Poston for the good will of the geueral public. ew people there are who have been able to bear up against the extraordinary weather thar bas been since the fine weather that ought to have been has not been. Shrill winds and driz- zing storms had taken the place of fresh soit air and April showers, and even May, about which the poets sing lor 118 loveliness, grew growiy about her sunshine and spat and fretted avd piqued until every- body was wondering what had come to make her so very disagreeable. People who are used to have favors showered upon tiem are generally the very first to grumble wnen they are discon- tinued, and 80 it was yesterday morning that men, and even the ladies, anathematized—the men loudly and aboveboard and the women in their hearts and on their lips unto themselves, when they stepped out from their houses and found themselves in the midst of one of the worst rain and wind storms that was ever before known in May, and that was really wintry in its influence, especially when it is remembered the unkindly weather that off and on had preceded it, The rain poured down tn torrents and deluged the streevs and avenues with little pools such as only @ bad wintry day reminds one of. The wind was rom the southwest and made havoc with the slender clothing of the thousands who were goimg their neediul daily jourpey to work. But the drtp- ping feet and garments o1 those who rose early sid went their dally road of cheer‘ul painfuiness, bear- ing the burden with the strength that ts theirs only, Was merely a May morning to an early October evening compared with the desolation and the agonies of the grand genteel, whv in the early forenoon snd along through the afternoon are the patrons aud patronesses of the gaudy, though venerable, stage. These were the folks who looked in vain and growled with élite ferocity when no stage was to be had and a carriage was rather too much. They squirmed in the rain so, and they in any way prone to indulge in misanthropic ob- servations of his fellow beings might have hada feast of soul fit for the god who presides over mis- unthropy—whoever that happy god may be—were he only philosophic enough to forget himself that there Were no stages iunning. On any other day most people would have missed the noise and “w-o-a's’? caused by the slow transit of stages through the streets, But the people who make stages and for these there still there are & peculiarity, was misery of ey st lous sort, But, indeed, just as one feels a little strange sort of regret that an enemy ts dead, 80 did the general public feel yes- ages had gone off the stage and were nowhere to be seen in the places that ought to know them no more, The absence of the old humdrums added in no small degree to the desolation in many of the streets, especially in the avenues, where it looked as if there was one grand iuneral going on, at which ali the carriages in the city were pat- ticipating. AN INDIAN WAR SPECK. A Large Band of Sioux Started for a a Raid Into Texas—Bloody Anticipa- tions. WASHINGTON, May 25, 1874.

They were well armed with improved arms and were well mounted. The Indians claimed to be out on a buffalo hunt with verbal authority from theiragent. They de- manded rations and ammunition from Lieutenant Orleman, which he refused to give. that they would start for the Red River the next day, but were informed that taere were no buffalo anywhere in that part of the country and were advised to return to their reservation, when they remarked that they wanted to see the country anyhow.

Wililams & Guion, in Wall street, during the alternoon yesterday. They were in as much of afog there as the unfortunate vessel on Fire Island beach. They stated, however, that they knew nothing of the accident, but from the short despatch they had received from Captain Moore, dated steamship |daho, via Babylon, | saying that his vessel was ashore on Fire Island sands and asking for assistance. In | answer to this despatch they had sent a tug off to | Fire Island, in charge of Captain Dewer, their | harbor captain, They expected him to reach the | vessel about six o'clock. They also stated that they had no list of passengers by the Idaho ana did not even know how many there were on board. | AT THE PASSENGER OFFICE. The HERALD reporter then went to the steerage passage Office of the line, at No. 23 Broadway. The | place was !ult and every moment triends o: the | passengers on the Idaho, but not cognizant of the | disaster to the ship, were calling in and asking for | information.

Mr. Williams, proprtetor of | | the vessel, was on hand at about ten o'clock and | immediately set to work to engage some boat to | convey the passengers to Castle Garden. This was ‘aq matter of more dimculty than it at first’ | seemed, as no boat was disengaged and the only boat running irom Hunter’s Point | to Thirty-fourth street could not be nad, The Superintendent and Assistant were both absent, and the men could not run a boat | without orders. Mr. Willtams was, therefore, n'a | | sad quandary at the idea of having 400 people on | his hands and no means of conveyance, as he haa | noright to land them elsewhere than at Castle Garden, | The train, however, did not arrive on time, and at hali-past ten no signs of her were to be seen and no despatch came to give the cause of the delay. The Superintendent of the road, J. B, Mor- ford, said he did not expect the passengers in be- fore twelve o’ciock. In the meantime the Super- intendent of the ferry has been telegraphed to allow another boat to be used. No persons were at Hunter's Point except those | immediately interested. None of the passengers’ iriends, knowing nothing of the arrangement to bring them on to Hunter’s Point, were around, and, with the exception of the HERALD reporters, Mr. Williams and two station hands, Hunter's Point was as deserted as on any other occasion at that hour of night. Half-past eleven came and still no news of the train with her freight of passengers, and it began to be rumored that she would not ve in until four o'clock in the morning, as several trains impeded her progress and held the right of way. ‘The time passed on wearily. Twelve o'clock ' came and yet no train, The boat from New York brought over the Assistant Superintendent of tne ferry, Who bargained with Mr. Williams to carry tne 400 passengers of the Idaho to Castle Garden for $60, This, at all events, settled their not re- maining all might at Hunter's Poinj.
