Niblo’s Theatre. A romantic spectacular entertainment was pre- sented at this house last night under the title of “Faustus.” The story on which the entertainment is constructed is the familiar one of Faust and Mar- gverite. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the Performance was the variety business which was woven into the play, This part of the work was Weil done, and the entertainment glided trom the Gramatic mysticism of the German origtal to thy ciever breakdown of the wideawake Yankee children with quite unusual smoothness. Great care bad evidently been taken in the seeni¢ de- partment, many of the sets being remarkably effective. “Faustus” drags the audience pretty well over Europe, and the panorama has the merit of being instructive as wel! as amusiog. It is strictly a summer entertainment and cannot be judged by any very siriet critical canons; but It will serve to interest those inveterate playgoers who defy the summer heat, and will accept very poor entertainment rather than do without their wonted theatrical pabulum.

The Long Looked for Letter from Theodore Tilton, STATEMENT FROM MR. MOULTON, The Investigating Committee Steadily at Work. The Bereher-Tiltom scandal corinues to be the absorbing topic in Brooklyn. Revent develop- ments give the case more and more interest. Mr. ‘Tilton, it will be seen, haa passed fromvan attitude of criticism to one of defiance, and wilt now go be- fore the committee with a statement involving alt the charges against Mr. Beecher. Mr. I, D. Moal- ton made an address to the committee Inat even- ing, which we print below. his is the first state- ment made by Mr. Moulton, an@ will be read with interest, especially a3 it commits him to the advo- cacy of Mr. Tliton, ME. BEBCHER’S ATTITUDE, Mr. Beecher came down from: Peekskill yeater- day in the company of Mr. James-Redpath, of Bes- ton. He remained at his home im Brooklyn all evening. He has not gone before the committee. In conversation with a renorter of the HRRaDD Mr. Beecher said that he had followed but one policy since the beginning—the policy of silence. He was so resolute in this that even the publica- tion of the letters asking for an tovestt- gation in the various newspppers had been done by his friends aguinst his protest. He did not mean witingly to break this silence, The church committee had the matter in its hands, By their action he would be governed as to when and in what manner he would speak. For iour years in the interest of Christian peace and charity, avd because of the love he bore others, and because he shrunk from di@iculty and scandal, he had striven to prevent any heartburning. The issues that were to come, ng matter im what form they came, he would meet in this spirit. Mr. Beecher was in a calm, tranquil, cheerful frame of mind, and seemed more interested in the comet, which could be seen from his window brandishing its crystal tresses in the sky, than in any mere wordly affairs. MR, TILTON’S ATTITUDE. Mr. Tliton suffere¢ from an illness on Sunday and yesterday morning he wrote the letter which ap- pears below. It is anderstood that be means to make a direct, open war upon Mr, Beecher, and that his statement will not only embrace the specia! offence which Mr..Beeeher committed against himself, but other offences which have come to nis knowledge. . Mr. Henry C. Bowen will be summoned as an important witness against Mr. Beecher. The following letter was addressed to the com- mittee-by Mr. Tilton :— MR. TILTON TO THE COMMITTRE. No. 174 LIVINGSTON STREET, BROOKLYN, July 13, 1374. TO THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEK :— GENTLEMEN—When, on Friday last, 1 met you at your invitation, the appointment of your com- Intttee had not then been made known to the pub- lic.. You satin @ private capacity. Moreover, one Of your legal advisers had pre- viously given me @ hope that 1, on my appear- ance before you, I would preserve a judicious reticence concerning the worst aspects of the case, I might. thereby facilitate, through you, such a moderate publuc presentation of Mr. Beecher’s offence and apology as would close, rather than prolong, the existing scandal. I rejoiced. im this hope, and promptly recipro- cated tho kindly feeling which was reported to me as shared by you all toward myself and jaunty. Accordingly, when 1 met you in conference, my brief statement was, in substance, THE TWO FOLLOWING POINTS. First, that my letter to Dr. Bacon was written, not as an act Of aggression, but of self-deience— arising, as therein set forth, from great and griev- Ous provoeation by your pastor, your church, the Brooklyn Council and the ex-Moderator’s criti- cisms ON. My supposed conduct—all uniting to de- lame me belore the World, and to inflict upon me an upjust punishment for acts done by another; and second, that having by that letter deiended myself solar a8 I thought the occasion required me to carry my reply, I felt unwilling to proceed turtner agatnst Mr. Beecher without iurther public provocation or other necessity, Such a necessity is now LAID UPON MK BY MR. BEECHER HIMSELF, in the pnblication of a direct request by him to you to inquire officially into his character as af- Pee by his offence and apology, to whica I re- ferred. He thus-offers to me A DIRECT CHALLENGE, not only before your committee, but before the public. which I hereby accept. I, therefore, give you notice that I shall prepare a.fuli and detailed statement in accordance with the terma-of your committee’s invitation to me “to Jurnish such facts as are within my knowlege’ touching matters “which compromise the charac- ter of Rey. Henry Ward Beecher.” I SHALL BE READY to lay this before you within a week or ten days, or 48 soon thereaiter as 1 shall find myself able to set the numerous facts and evidences in such strict array as that I can cover them, each and ail, with my oan to theirexact truth, sworn betore a magis- trate. l await the appointment by you of a day mu- tually convenient ior my presentation of this state- ment in person before your committee.

The parties in this case aze personal friends of mine, whose behalf I have endeavored to act, as the umpire and peacemaker, for the last four years, with a conscientious regard for all the interestsmvolved. I regret for your sakes | the responsibility imposed on me of appearing here to-night. It I say anytping | must speak the truth. Ido nog believe that the simple curiosity | of the world at large ov even of this com- | mittee ought to be gratified through any recitation by me of the tacts which are in my possession, necossarily im confidence, through my relations ‘0 the parties. The personal differences of which I am aware a3 the chosen arbitrator, have once been settled honor- ably between the parties, and would never have been revived except on account of recent attacks both im and out ef Plymouth church mace upon the character of Theodore Tiiton, vw which he thought a, reply necessary. If the present issue is to be settled ti must be, in my opinions, by the parties themselves, either to- gether or separately before your commitiee, each taking the responsibility of his own utterance, As I am jully coaversant with tha facts and evidences, I shat as between these parties, if, necessary, deem it my duty to state the truth, in order to final Settiement, and that the world may be well informed before pro- nouneing its judgment with referense to either.

[From the Albany Hvening Journal.) In that determimation time has fully vindicated him. The letter.of. Mr. Tiiton: himself furnisaes the proof that the story of tne Woodhull was false from beginning to.end. What Mr. Beecher dis- dained to answer; beyond a single incidental de- nial, the very man whom he was accused of wronging has himself effectually disproved. But in doing so he has-thrown outa dark hint of some wrong to which his owm reputation, not peing se well understood, maght, indeed, iend more weigbt than the indorsement of a Woodhall, but which, nevertheless, derived 1% chiei standing from tue fact that he was.one Of the principal tie@ ime volved. And when the matter assumed thas form Mr. Beecher promptly met it with a demand joram investigation. He did it with no ostentauon He did nos parade 1s before the public. But he did it in such @ way as to be effectual, and while many have been persistently crying for an investigation, they wake up to find that the: investigation. pro- ceeded even as they otamored. Mr. Beecher acts with a calm faita.and. composure: which inspire confidence. Tilton’s. Hallucimation. (From the Sam: Francisco Boiletin.} The extent of Tilton's hallucination is more.and. More manifest). It. may even. be greatly exag- geratead by the wrongs he supposes he has re- ceived at the hands.of Beecher. But when aman Keeps silence for more than two years, and. them comes betore the public utterly reckless of conse- quences whioh carry along. with them bis best friends and his wife also. j.nas no better rea- son for this than. that he has been, made to smart under adverse crisicism—we are not ready to accept such a man's conclusions, nor indorse bis, Motives without other and. far more satisfactory evidence than any: which has yet beem produced.
