THE MARK LANE EXPRESS ON THE SITUATION— MODERATE SUPPLY OF WHEAT, WITH PRICES TENDING DOWNWARD—THE YIELD AN AVER- AGK ONE, WITH ANTICIPATIONS OF A CLOSE RUN. Loxpox, Sept. 13, 1875. The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the corn trade for the past week has the following:— There has been but little change im the wheat mar- kets generally, which, with the new produce, have only been moderately supplied—the best quality, mostly, maintaining its previous value, while the in- ferior has tended downward, The general average is now within sixpence of last year, though the amounts then sold were double those nov but foreign imports still being free, the country has been amply supplied at rather lower rates, Flour has recovered a franc in Paris, and fine old wheat has risen one shilling per quarter, THE FRENCH MARKETS, The French markets generally have been calm and unchanged, but in some of the country places there has been a further decline, THY NETHERLANDS, Belgiam and Holland bave given way, in the new qualities, about a shilling per quarter. GERMANY. In Germany the tendency, from the fineness of the weather, bas been downward, HUNGARY, The same is true in Hungary for inferior qualities, though the yield is scarcely an average one, SOUTHERN RUSSIA. But at Odessa holders maintain prices, greatly to the detriment of the export trade, in confidence that they will eventually be paid for their patience as the season advances and the general deficiency is known. SHORT OF AN AVERAGE, Still, looking av the present yield as only an average one in quantity, and as from this a large deduction must be made for its general lightness in the actual amount of flour produced—say, on three-fourths, of from five to ten per cent—we may possibly count on a further deficiency of 750,000 quarters at a time when our population is vastly on the increase. A CLOSE RUN RXPECTED. We have no doubt that the imports will meet our necessities, but we expect, as the season terminates, it will be a close run. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Loxpox, Sept 18, 1875. The weather is fair and favorable for gathering the hop crop and for bringing grain into fine condition, EPPECT ON PRICES. In Mark lane, English wheat is 2s. per quarter lower than last Monday, and foreign 1s. to 38. lower, accord- ing to samples, Flour is very dull, irregular and lower. OUR NAVY IN THE, EAST. VISIT OF REAR ADMIRAL REYNOLDS AND OFFICERS TO THE KHEDIVE—PASSAGE OF THE TENNESSEE THROUGH THE SUEZ CANAL. Wasminaton, Sept, 13, 1875. Addespatch has been received at the Navy Depart- ment from Rear Admiral Reynolds, now en route to the Asiatic station, dated flagship Tennessee, Suez, Egypt, September —, in which he says he went to Cairo, accompanied by Lieutenant Commander White, Lieu- tenant Lyons and Midshipman Winslow, of his staff, and other officers of the ship, by a special train fur- nished for the occasion by the government of Egypt. His Highness the Khedive’ had Just returned to Cairo from Alexandria, and Admiral Reynolds, with several of his staf, was presented to him by Consul General Beardsley. The interview was of more than an hour’s guration, Admiral Reynolds says:— His Highness in conversation was exceedingly frank and, of course, most intelligent, and I retired from his presence with very favorable’ impressions of his good sense and of his excellent capacity as a ruler of this important State, It may be considered as for- tunate for Egypt that that country has now upon the throne a ruler of iis Highness’ distinguished avility and force of character. THROUGH THE SUEZ CANAL, Another despatch from Rear Admiral Reynolds an- nounces the safe passage through the Suez Canal of the flagship Tennessee without meeting with the least ac- cident or obstruction. She had her bunkers full of coal, and her draught of water was 20 feet 6 inches forward and 22 feet 3 inches aft. A spect of from four to five knots was maintained while in the canal, and this was the ship’s usual speed while passing through the “Bitter Lake.” Twenty-five tons of coal were consumed from the anchorage at Fort Said to that at Suez, The ship was under way 19 hours and 17 minutes, including stoppages. Every courtesy was extended to the Admiral and officers of the ship by the canal company’s officers at Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, for which Admiral Reynolds returned thanks to the superior director of the canal through Consul General Beardsley. THE PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE. IMPORTANT MEETING YESTERDAY—THE EX- CHANGE TO OPEN WITH THE BOARD. SAN Francisco, Sept. 13, 1875. The Pacific Stock Exchange held a business meeting today. A resolution was. offered, providing that tho resolution formerly passed fining members for doing business be rescinded, that ali the old business of the Exchange, referring to loans and stock transactions, be settled within five days; that the Exchange resume business to-morrow, and, until further action, hold one session a day for the transaction vf cash and regular business only, and that there be a fine imposed on each member not answering roll call at eleven o'clock in the morning. A substitute was offered, providing that the Exchange, through its Special Committee, confer with the Executive Committee of the San Francisco Stock and Exchange Board, to the end that both the Board and the Exchange be opened at the same time. The substitute was adopted and the original motion then taken from the table and lost. Responses to inquiries this inorning seem to indicate that while there is @ feeling that coliections will be somewhat harder to-day than on collection day two weeks ago, nevertheless a general sentiment of conil- dence prevails that no disaster is apprehended in com- mercial circles. In the grocery and produce and dry goods lines a good state of affairs is reported, and most parties have been able to collect largely in prepa- ration for to-day, A prominent grain dealer says the prospects are favorable for foreign collections in that business and no fears are entertained of any one being pushed to the wall. The same accom- modaling course pursued on the last collection day will undoubtedly prevail to-day. The Bank of Caliiornia people report the affairs of the concern as progressing slowly but surely, with nothing new to remark as to the condition of the bank, FE. J. Baldwin was to-day unanimously elected a director of the Bank of California to tila vacancy, In consideration of the fact that Mr. Baldwin is one of the largest creditors of the bank, his election is considered significant of the favorable progress of the efforts of the syndicate toward resumption. It seems probable now that the reopening of the Bank of California will be delayed beyond the 15th inst., probably until the opening of the Bank of Nevada, ‘about the Ist prox.

Curious Interview Between the Secretary and Prof. Marsh in a Dining Hall. TEMPER AND BILLINGSGATE. Strange Exhibition on the Part of a Cabinet Officer. HOW A GALLED JADE WINCED The Investigation of the Business of the Sioux Agency. Wasnincrox, Sept. 13, 1875. The presence this time of Professor Marsh in Wash- sington has not been without a bit of unpleasantness, He has been stopping at Wormley’s, at which place Secretary Delano and his son, John 8. Delano, also guests, The Professor, who is a modest and unob- trusive gentleman, on entering the dining hall saw the Secretary and his son, and quietly took his seat at the table he had occupied before the return of Mr. Delano from Ohio. Conversation was begun by the Secretary, who was still in doubt if this was “a Mr. Marsh.” The inquiry was responded to by the Professor, who, rising, extending his hand, and addressing the Secretary, said :— “Good morning, Mr. Delano, It isa pleasant morn- ing.” Returning to his seat after shaking hands the Secre- tary, with a smile, asked :— “When are you going to get through investigating me?” The Professor replied:—“I really don’t know.” Mr. Delano, continuing, asked:—‘When are you going to get through assaulting me ?”” To which question the Professor quietly replied:— “Probably when you stop attacking me,”” This the Secretary indignantly denied, in a tone of voice filling the large dining room, and said he had never done anything of the kind, but that the Professor was assaulting him. Mr. Marsh firmly, but quietly, re- plied that since the commission appointed to examine the affairs of the Red Cloud Agency had begun its labors he had not said a word, considering the case in their hands, but that the Department of the Interior had kept up a constant attack on him, 4 CURIOUS SCENE. Then followed a scene such as is very seldom wit- nessed, even in Washington. Secretary Delano rose, called the Professor afiiar, poltroon, and used similar epithets, while he gesticulated in a manner worthy of a pugilist, repeating the most offensive words several times. He left his seat quivering with rage and men- aced the Professor, who was more than surprised at this unexpected exhibition of the Secre. tary’s temper in a public dining room. There was, however, no reason to fear violence, and, as the Professor had as much right in the room as the Secre- tary, he concluded not to be intimidated or forced to get his breakfast elsewhere. Mr. Delano returned to his seat, continued to talk in a lower tone of voice, and when sufficiently calm Professor Marsh told him plainly thathe would always defend himself, he cared not by whom attacked. This remark seemed to invite ano‘her OUTPOURING OF BILLIXGSGATR, the term ‘liar’? being frequently used, and, in aloud voice, the Secretary said:— “*You have set Welsh, Walker and other hounds on me.” This the Professor dented, and said he would not be insulted by the Secrotary of the Interior or any other man; that he had treated Mr. Delano as a gentleman should, which statement the Secretary denied and im- mediately left the room, saying that the Professor did not know what a gentleman was, It was an unpleasant aflair and one which Mr, Delano’s friends deeply regret, the Professor having the best of the argument by keop- ing his temper. THR INVESTIGATION. The Commissid appointed to investigate the manner in which the busihess with the Sioux Indians is con- ducted resumed the examination of witnesses this morning at their rooms in the Ebbitt House, J. W, Bosler, of Carlisle, Pa, who has been the principal beef contractor, was examined at length as to the manner in which he fulfilled his con- tract for furnishing fresh meat to the Sioux Indians, Atthe request of the Commission he far- nished a transcript from his books for beef furnished for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1875. His purchases had amounted to between $700,000 and $800,000, and the profits were nearly $130,000. He claimed that ho had fairly and HONESTLY EXECUTED THE CONTRACT and was ready to show how it was that so large a profit could be made and yet furnish good beef in weight and quality as agreed, He was rigidly examined as to the manner of the delivery of the cattle, their original cost, the weights and the risk assumed. He further claimed that the receipts in his possessian would show that of over 30,000 cattle purchased ho had delivered in good order 29,000, over 1,000 having died on his hands or been stolen by the Indians. Professor Marsh asked him a namber of questions, but the answers did not change the tenor of the direct examination by the Commission, Dr. G, ©. Cox, who visited the Red Cloud Agency in the summer of 1874, was next examined, and said be did not, from personal observation, discover any irreg- ularity whatever in the conduct of the business at that agency, and was convinced everything was honorably and fairly conducted by the Indian agents. To-night it was expected that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs would be ready for examination, but he ‘was not prepared for the ordeal the Commission pro- pose to subject him to. WALKER’S EXAMINATION, Samuel Walker’s examination was then renewed. He was showing how much McCann had been overpaid when Mr. Harris proceeded to inake objection to Walker’s using public records as evidence. Mr. Harris stated that the Commission had all the public records themselves, and they would not allow wit- nesses to argue from them. Mr. Walker pointed out that his letter of invitation requested him to furnish in- formation on the subject matter of inquiry, and that he was doing so from his knowledge of the facts acquired as clerk of the old Board of Indian Commissioners. Ho said, however, he had no desire to take up the time of the commission, and referred them to the records of the old Board to corroborate his statements, unless they had been tampered with, ‘The members of the commission say that they were not influenced by any desire to curb Mr. Walker, but that the documents referred to by the witness were accessi- bie to them and that they were competent to form their own opinions. Mr. Faulkner, the democratic member of the commission, and the chairman, Mr. Fletcher, did not wish to interfere with Mr. Walker, but agreed with Mr. Harris that they could examine the documents re- ferred to, and said that they would do so. ¢ TRSTIMONY OF PROFESSOR Mansn. Professor Marsh being present, and as there was no other witness to fill out the evening’s work, he was asked if he would be willing to bogin his testi- mony. In answer to questions based upon bis printed statement published last July, the Professor did not ob- Ject, but protested he had not come prepared for a critical review of his printed etatement, and could only answer positively from a personal knowledge of the charges mado, There were, however, six or soven wit- nesses, men whom he was thoroughly satisfied could give important evidence, who were not in Washington, and whose presence here was desirable, The two hours, therefore, devoted to Professor Marsh, to-night, is not considered as covering the main points the com- mission are desirous of obtaining. The chairman stated, their labor to-day, that the commission wished to be possessed of every fact in possession of Proféssor Marsh, and would accept every inference as to the manner in which the business of the Indian agencies was conducted if supported by reason- able argument. As to the beef contracts, the mombers of the commission say that they are satisfied with the statement of Mr, Bosler, so far as it goos, and it now remains for them to obtain the facts in possession of the Indian Bureau to affirm the statement that the beof actually delivered to the Indians was what the certifi. cates and receipts of the agent specify, To-morrow Professor Marsh will be on hand with documents and memoranda, ready for the most searching examination. THE MAIN E ELECTION. INCOMPLETE RETURNS—DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN SIXTY YOWNS—PROBABLE ELECTION OF THE | REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. PortLann, Sept, 13, 1875. ‘The results of the election so {far as heard from are peculiar and a surprise to the people, Mr. | Biaine had counted upon a. good showing | in his State’ with a view to his opportunities | in the Presidential canvass, General Connor has been elected by a majority of some 5,000, ‘This re- duced majority is duc chicfly to local issues, In the cities and populous towns General Con- nor’s pronounced views upon the liquor question evidently acted upon his vote disadvantageously. In all the cities and largely populated villages his vote has fallen off, while the rural districts have failed to, counterbalance the effec. The large majority of men who take no active part in politics seem to have been enticed to the democratic banners with a view perhaps to any probability of a change to better times. Senator Morton has left no favorable im- pression, though all concede bis candor and ability. Portland, the commercial metropolis of Maine, elects four out of five democratic Representatives. Bangor, second city in the State, also elects two democratic Representatives and gives General Roberts, the demo- cratic nominee, a very hanasome majority. The Logis- lature is undoubtedly republican, but the democracy will have so powerful a minority as to prevent any extreme partisan legislation, ‘The democrats of Portland held a jollification meeting at the Madd Hall this evening, which was addressed by General 5. J. Anderson and others. Portland gives Connor, republican, 2,436; Roberts, democrat, 2,551; a democratic majority of 115 against last year’s republican majority of 163, Cape Elizabeth gives 130 democratic majority. Deering gives a democratic majority of 60, a gain of 51, Bangor gives Roberts, democratic, 123 majority, and elects two democrats and one republican to the Legisla- ture. In 1870 Roberts carried the city by 600 majority. Bastport gives Connor 267; Roberts, 1,330. Belfast gives Roberts 603, and Connor 501; last year’s democratic majority was 210, Bridgeton—Connor, 362; Roberts, 298, Augusta gives Connor $43; Roberts, 778, and elects two republicans to the Legislature. Saco gives 171 majority for Connor and elects one democrat to the Legislature. South Berwick gives Roberts 37 majority and elects all tho democratic candidates to the Legislature. Biddeford has been carrid by the democrats by 197 majority for Roberts and two democrats have ‘been elected to the Legislature, Forty towns give Connor (republican) 12,470; Roberts (democrat), 11,381. Last year the same towns gave a republican vote of 10,961 and a democratic vote of 8,766, showing a republican majority in 1875 of 1,089, against 2,195 in 1874, or a loss of fifty per cent on the H LATER RETURNS, 10:30 P, M.—Sixty towns give Connor (republican) 15,102, and Roberts (democrat), 13,730. Last year the republican vote was 13,857 ahd the democratic vote 10,385, The democrats have elected Moses H. Goodrich Mayor of Portsmouth by ubout 100 majority, and six out of the ten Aldermen, With the exception of six towns to hear from, which gave a republican majority of 62 last year, Androscoggin county returns give 623 majority for Connor against 705 last year, Both the Senators, all the Representa. tives and county officers are republican, being a gain of ‘one republican. Lincoln county has gone republican by abont 40 ma- peo gaining three republican representatives and losing one, The republicans elect the Senator and Comnissioner, In Waldo county sixteen out of twenty-six towns give Connor 2,085, Roberts 2,016; being a gain of 484 for the democrats. Probably four out of the eight representa- tives are elected by the latter, together with the Sena- tors and the county ticket, Franklin county returns about 250 republican major- ity. The republicans also elect a Senator and two Representatives, The democrats elect three repre- sentatives. (ae One hundred towns give Connor 21,620 and Roberts 19,138. The same towns gave last year—republican, 18,772; democratic, 14,228,” The republican majority this year is 2,482, against 4,544 last year. Seventeen towns in York county give Connor 115 majority, against a republican majority last year of 737, being'a loss of 622, Connor has probably’ car- ried the county by 150 majority, against 745 last year. Ono hundred and twenty towns give Connor 26,643 | and Roberts 24,140, against 23,042 republican and 17,807 democratié last year. Soventeen out of the twenty-eight towns in Kennebec county give Connor 4,404 and Roberts 2,960, Hancock county is very close; probably democratic by about 40 majority, One hundred and forty towns give Connor 28,670, Roberts 26,198, against. 25,254 for the republican candidate and = 19,689 for the democratic last year, being a tepublican of 2,472 against 5,565 last yeur. ‘This indicates that the total’ majority, which was'10,000 last year, will be this year not over 5,000. Theres but one Congressman to be elected—nainely, in the Fourth district—to fill the place of He deceased. It is impossible to judge who is elected until Bangor furmshes a summary of the three coun- ties, The election must be very close, The republicans have probably carried eleven coun- ties and the democrats five, which will fairly represent the vote in the Senate, being a democratic gain, us the Senate stood last year twenty-eight republicans to three democrats, In the House the republicans do not seem to have Jost a man. THE MISSISSIPPI TROUBLES, FURTHER INFORMATION DESIRED AT THE NA- TIONAL CAPITAL—A CABINET MEETING 10 BE HELD. Wasminatoy, Sept. 13, 187: It is probable that the President will return to Wash. ington to-morrow or next day, when a Cabinet meeting willbe held to consider the Mississippi troubles and determine what action shall be taken on the demand of Governor Ames for federal interference. The Attorney General this morning telegraphed to the United-States Attorney at Jackson, Miss., to inform him without delay of the present condition of affairs in ‘that part of the State. --He also telegraphed to Governor Ames that he had forwarded to the President at Long Branch by special messenger all the telegrams in re- gard to the troubles, and now awaited the further ac- tion of the President SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY—RIOTOUS CONDUCT OF THE NE- GROES—DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR. Mxarms, Tenn., Sept. 13, 1875. Passengers by train from Grenada report serious trouble in Tallahatchie county, Mississippi, some ten miles west of Charlestown. The whites there had sent runners to Oakland for assistance, and citizens at that place and at Grenada were organizing and arming for service. A gentleman who arrived from Charles- town this evening gives the following account of the troubles :—Laet Thursday two negroes, who, it is claimed, live in Arkansas, registered as voters at Friarson’s store and warrants for their arrest were issued and given to a constable, who took a posse with him. As they approached the place where the negroes were staying the latter saw them and fled. They were pur- sued to Coahoma county, and two of the constable’s posse, named Evans and Buffurd, {t is claimed, FIRED AT THK NEGROKS as they ran. The negroes in the vicinity of Trenton, hearing of the aflair, armed themselves to the number of seventy, and proceeeded to Friarson’s store and de- manded that Evans and Bufford should be given up to them, and behaved in a riotous manner. Conuty Treas- urer Stewart, who is also a deputy sherif, assured the rioters that if they wonld return heme he’ would arrest Evans and Bufford, which he did not do, and on Satur- day it was ascertained that a large body of armed negroes had gathered at Trenton; and the whites living near Friarson’s sent Treasurer Stewart and Jerry Rovinson | to try and induce them to disperse. But they found them very violent, and threatening to hang both Robinson and Stewart. Those persons returned in haste and notified the citizens that the negroes were swearing vengeance against them. Calls were then made on Oakland, Chariestown and Grenada for assist- ance, and parties have gone from that point to Friarson’s. OUTRAGE IN TENNESSEE. A NEGRO KILLED AND A WHITE MAN FIRED UPON BY AN AMBUSHED PARTY, A white, named Ulrick Steffan, a milkman, anda negro, nained Wilson Fox, while driving milk wagon home a few miles from Nashville, at ten o'clock on Saturday night, were shot at by an ambushed party, The negro was killed, and Stefan got away by whip- ping the horses. RAILROAD COLLISION IN CANADA. New Hasuura, Sept. 13, 1875, Two freight trains collided here this morning, An engine driver, named Alexander Miller, of Stratford, was killed, one fireman badly scalded, and a brakeman had his leg broken. One engine and tender were wrecked and several cars were burned. THE STEAMBOAT TARASCON GONE DOWN. Cixcinxatt, Ohio, Sept. 13, 1875. The steamboat Tarascon, which sunk below Louis- ville last night, was valued at $30,000 and insured for 15,000 in Louisville and Cincinuati offices, She can easily be raised, t AMUSEMENTS, FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE. The regular fall season was ushered in at this house last night with an original address by Mr. Jobn Brougham anda revival of “Saratoga,” one of Mr. Howard's American comedies, with which the New York public is somewhat famidiar, The reappearance of the old favorites of the Fifth Avenue company drew together a large and brilliant audience, who evidently enjoyed thoroughly the performance.

BARRY SULLIVAN AS MR. BEVERLY IN “THE GAMESTER.” Mr, Barry Sullivan appeared last night at Booth’s Theatre as Mr. Beverly in Edward Moore's drama, “The Gamester.”” The piece is one little suited to the tastes of modern audiences, and yet, in spite of an in- diwerent success in the beginning, it has held the stage against many better plays, One reason of this is in the opportunities it affords for excellent. acting in the leading réle; but the chief cause probably, is in the fact that many very great actors, from Mr. Kemble to Mr, Sulhvan, have played the part of Beverly, At best the character is a repulsive one; but the same thing is true of all the others except the two lovers, Charlotte and Lewson. Mra, Beverly, played last night by Miss Loutso Hibbert, is a creation which has failed to win respect in far abler hands. Constancy in a wife is a virtue which cannot be too highly praised, — but Mrs. Beverly’s devotion is an absurdity. No woman who was at the same time a mother would yield up her Jewols and beggar her child to pay the gambling debts of her husband, and if she did the act would spring from a much stronger motive than that which inftu- enced Mrs. Beverly, Both the gambler and the gambler’s wife in this old play are very silly people and Stukely, whose victim they become, is the most Villanous and impossible of villains, Still, their part is the most reasonable in the drama, for Stukely has at least the excuse of temptation for his crimes, He is in love with his friond’s wife, and he ruins his friend at play that he may also overcome her. His associates, Bates and Dawson, whom a moro potent magician las’ shown us in a different light in “Oliver Twist,” are mere shadows at best; and yet these are the dramatis persone about whom the whole action of the drama revolves, We speak tuus particularly of the piece because it is a comparative stranger tothe New York boards, the only excuse for its per- formance being in the appearance of some such actor us Mr. Sullivan in the part of Beverly. The cast last night was as follows:—Mr. Beverly, Mr. Barry Sulli- van; Stukely, Mr. James Cathcart; Lewson, Mr. Frederick B. ‘Warde; Dawson, Mr. Kdwin K. Collier; Bates, Mr. Harry Dalton; Jarvis, Mr, Henry Weaver: Mrs. ‘Beverly, Miss Louise Hibbert; Charlotte, Miss Ida Vernon. At the very outset of our review of the acting we must, injustice to a modest and painstaking actor, speak in terms of generous praise of Mr. Henry Weaver's Jarvis, It is seldom that the old and faithful servant is so intelligently personified, and the Jarvis of Mr. Weaver shows bin capable ’ of much better things. Next to him in excellence, barring, of course, the leading réle, were Mr. Warde and Miss [da Vernon; but then his opportanities were much greater than theirs, Lewson and Charlotte are not only the only virtuous charactors in the play, but the only insipid’ ones, and yet the dramatist has made them mere foils to the others. Under such circumstances no actor or actress could expect to make a very profound impression in the parts, and hence it isa very great to both these artists that their ai shine superior to that of those ‘whose skill they were intended to reflect. Neither Mr. Catheart nor Miss Hibbert was able successfully to con- tend with them. A more stilted Stukely never walked the stage and the silly creation of Mrs. Boverly never had a weaker representative. The rather striking scene in tho third act, where the villain traduces Beverly to his ‘wife and seeks to ensnare her, was absolutely painiul. That which should have been serious was absurd, and that which ought to have been impressive was laughable, There was no play of feature, no modulation of voice and no significance of gesture in the lady’s ark From the first scene to the last Miss Hibbert’s Mrs, Beverly was the same expres- sionless, inanimate and inartistic performance, Mr. Cathcart’s Stukely seemed a concentration of all the worst faults of the worst models it was possible to select, Boisterous at all times, it was never effective, and there was scarcely a line or 4 situa- tion which was not destroyed by his assumptions of stately villany. The minor parts, however, were very well taken, and the leading réde was in itself an excuse for all the other shortcomings. The ‘‘Gamester,” in Mr. Sullivan’s hands, loses much of the silliness of the dramatist’s conception and stands out boldly asa strong and startling picture. Few of the favorite creations of the modern stage present a more varied outline, We forget all else in the strength and beauty of the tragedian’s art, and pity) the faults which we condemn, Mr Beverly ts not so much @ gamester as a victim, and we follow his fortunes with compassion and con- corn. In the first scene with Stukely we see in him a manliness which such a character might exhibit, but not possess, and this almost reconciles us to his adoption of his betrayer’s suggestion, by which manhood is. dis- gra The interview with Charloue in the fol- lowing scene, and his reading of Stukely’s letter were also exquisite bits of acting, and especially to be remarked because they so completely glossed ‘the mherent weaknesses of the play. The sireet scene, in which the quarrel with Lewson occurs, was also a powerful one, drunkenness and remorse and A supposed sense of injury, and the determination to punish the wrong ho fancied he had suilered at the hands of his friend, being all finely conceived and splendidiy dehneated. But the crowning glory of the whole was the death scene, in the Jast act From tho moment of taking the poison till death ensues there is @ reality in the tragedian’s art which covers as much by its realism ag its solemnity. The poison slowly does its work, and every movement is but a preparation for death, His parting with his wife is extremely pathetic, hot so much because he is dying us dying meatly , and so he shows us a scene exceedingly well done in hot being overdone, The death itself is a thing to haunt the me! Tt is in bi quivering timbs, im alinost 1m every Tes} always an awful thing when it is looked upon as” a reality, and Mr. Sullivan's simulation, has all the strength and terror of the realfty. It is upon this seene that the curtain falls and the picture lasts when the lights are out and darkness shrouds the scene of the mimic tragedy, An unusually large audience athered tc ir, Sullivan in this unrivalled part last ight, mester” will be repeated this evening, and will prot attractive as on the occasion prove of its first ‘ GRAND OPERA HousE, ‘The management of this houso have seriously entered upon the task of turning it into a west side Bowery; but it must be confessed that their first effort in this | gation, Organte Debility direction has not been wholly successful.

HH WALLACK'8—GIROFLE-GIROFLA. Lecocq’s charming opera, which belongs more to thé comique than to the bouffe stage, as the music is of@ superior character to that with which opéra bouffe ia generally presented, was brought out at Wallack's last night by the Julia Mathews company, The distribu tion of parts was as follows:—Giroflé-Girofla, Miss Julia Mathews; Aurore, Mile Selvi; Don Bolero d’Alearazam Mr. G. H. McDermott; Marasquin, Mr. W. Forrester, Mourzook, Mr, Albert Brennir; Paquita, Mise Temple; Pedro, Miss Rose Keene, an extremely difficult task to present opéra in aught but its original form, as in even the cleverest adaptation much of that brilliancy of wit, finish of action and singing, and ‘at homeness” in every 2 ticular is lost. Tho ease and grace shown by Mathews in her impersonation of the dual title rdle united to a voice of considerable sweetness and flexi bility, constituted the pee feature of last night's performance. From the first to the last scene she gave a Very charming representation of a part which maket no inconsiderable demands on the capabilities of aa actress and singer. In the drinking song, which has now become as well known as that of “The Grand Duchess,” she was heartily encored. Mlle, Selvi evinced a greai deal of cleverness as Aurore and Miss Rose Temple was a mediocre representative of Paquita. The réle of Pedro was entrusted in very good hands by the selec. tion of Miss Rose Keene, and Marasquin met with fortune in having sach a capable artist as Mr. rester, The much-abused and perplexed father, Boler, was capitally portrayed by Mr. McDermott, whe is one of the most accomplished members of the com pany. The ferocious Moor, Mourzook, was rather tamely represented by Mr. Brennjr, and this part of the opera, strange to say, proved the weakest, It should be a leading feature in a representauon of Le a ‘Giroflé-Girofla”’ will be given every night week. GILMORE’S GARDEN. Mme. Carrie Brooks Gulager, a concert prima donna who has won considerable popularity in local com certs, made her first appearance at Gilmore’ Garden last evening. Her reception was very flattering, and encouraged her to win a marked success in singing the Polonaise, from “Mignon.” Her voice is of the highest soprano order, ri¢h in tone and expression and cultivated in an excel- lent school, The other soloists were Levy, who played “Una voce poco fa” exquisitely; Arbuckle, who won an encore in an aria by St, Jacome; Tagliapietra, the baritone, in an aria from “Faust,” and Lefebro, whose saxophone was gieard in a beautiful melody by Suvari, The band played the overtures to “Nabuco “Die Schoene Galaua,” the reverie by V! extaie, selection from “Ii Crociato,” and Jullien’s aati of all Nations,” a popular and taking programme, Mme. Gulager sang tne grand aria from “Der Freischitz” to-night. Woop’s MUSEUM. The bill at this houge for the present week consists of a highly sensational drama called, ‘Marked for Life,’” in which Mr. 8. C. France appearea last might as the hero, with a score of lesser lutnimaries revolving around him. ‘there are numerous hairbreadth escapes, rescuca of the lovely heroine, punishment of ruffianly characters, and the, usunl tableau ol the triumph of virtue, Stch dramas appeal to a certain class of play- goers, and as long as they possess the needful blood. thirsty elements their popularity is secured. Such a play is “Marked for Life,” and it must always please the gods. THEATRE COMIQUE.
