THE EUROPEAN CORN MARKETS, sa ie THE MARK LANE EXPRESS REVIEWS THE SITU- ATION-—-PRIGES TENDING DOWNWARD, BUT AVERAGE HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR. Lonvo, Sept. 27, 1875. The Mark Lane Express of this evening has the following review of the corn market for the week :— PRICES DOWNWARD, With abundant importations, prompted by the un- favorable aspect in July and the generally successful gatherings, the course of prices bas been further down- ward, say from one to two shillings, and though we see no cause for immediate reaction we think the reluctance ness of foreign holders, may check a further downward movoment, so that as winter approaches prices may mend, FRENCH PRICES ALSO LOW. France is following our decline. Paris has slowly conceded one franc on flour, with a slight aechne in wheat, but the provinces show little change, notwith- standing the liberal arrivals at Marseilles, THe CAUSE. ‘The present depression {s more to be attributed to immense foreign arrivals than anything else; but we may expect a speedy falling off in these supplies, and some reaction in prices, because none of the export markets have been reduced in a like proportion to Eng- ‘TUB NETHERLANDS AND GERMANY. In Belgium the decline has stopped. It is mach the same in Holland, while some German markets show rather higher rates, though St. Petersburg has shown some reduction; and as every quarter which’ has re- | cently been placed in the granary will he neoded it is but reasonable to expect better prices will be paid as the season advances.

It was sup- posed that some fishing smacks had taken up the cable on the “Banks.” Nothing now remains but to repair the trouble as soon as possible. The misfortune bears | upon the company at this time with double rigor, as their business was in the highest degree prosperous, and compliments were flowing in upon them from every business quarter in regard to their speed and prompt tude, The cable ship has sailed, and it may be thirty days before the proper repairs can be made, The sym- pathy of the public doubless will be with the Direct Company, as they have been the cause of the late re- duction in the rates of ocean telography.

THE RECENT ATTACK ON GARDNER'S DIVISION— WERE THE SCIENTIFIC GENTLEMEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT? Wasuineroy, Sept. 27, 1875. A letter from Indian Agent Thompson, dated Denver, Col, says that the report of the attack upon Gardner's division of Hayden’s surveying party has created an intense feeling of animosity toward | the Utes, for which those Indians should not be held re- sponsible, Big Head, the leader of the attacking party, is a half-breed of the Weeminuche and Navajo tribes, and has been for along time regarded as an oatlaw by the agoncy Utes, and not allowed to come among them. His followers, about twenty in number, are renegade Pi-Utes, Apaches and Nayajoes, there being no Utes among them. The agent asks that these renegades be unished and that the rather bombastic account of the ght be discounted at its proper value, STATEMENT OF PROFESSOR HAYDEN, Professor Hayden states, in relation to the account in the papers of the fight alluded to abovo, that it hardly seemed probablo such a fight could have been continued so many hours and so fiercely as reported and nobody get hurt, He thinks his party, being ter- ribly frightened, ran away and loft their instruments, and told the big story to justify their conduct, THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION, THE TREATY OF PEACE TO BE [RATIFIED—THE PANAMA GOVERNMENT LIKELY TO BE DEPOSED, Wasitxaron, Sept. 27, 1875.

The Convention of Peace amounts to am entire submission on the part of the latter. It is thought the present | government of Panama will be deposed immediately upon the arrival of the national troops, UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Relations of Our Military President to His Official Advisers. Grant's Partiality to the Late Secretary of the Interior. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, ae Sats Tals SEE Wasuinoton, Sept 27, 1875. Those who have studied the character af the different members of General Grant's Cabinet, and bave a per- sonal acquaintance with them, have long known that, while apparently a unit, the Cabinet has consisted in fuctof two sets, who might almost be called factions, 80 diverse were thoir views, each opposed to the other on measures of public policy, and each striving for the ear of the President and desirous to deprive its ‘rivals,of miluence at the White House, One of these parties consisted, as was well undor- Stood, of Messrs. Fish, Bristow and Jewell; the other of Messrs, Dolano and Belknap, with Mr. Williams, while he remained Attorney General, Mr. Robeson was for a long time believed to be simply a “friend of the President,” which meant that he was disinclined to hazard his political fortunes with either side. The course of events last winter, however, led him gradn- ally to join the Fish side, and to add more or less fortunes, at last seems to gain decidedly the upper hand. ‘The Cabinet of General Grant has never been in the usual sense a consulting body. The President has treated it less as a body of advisers to whom he should confide his own thoughts, and with whom he should consult on public affairs, than as a general in the field treats his staf!—gentlemen to whom he gives his or- ders when he has made up his mind, and whose duty meantime is to carry on each his own department of business, Under this system members of the Cabinet were not even required, unless they chose to do so, to | lay any businoss of their departments before the Cabinet at its meetings; and it is well known to the few who are familiar with the “inside” of these meet- ings that Mr, Boutwell, while Secretary of the ‘Treas- ury, but rarely contided his notions of the Treasury policy or his purposes to the Cabinet, The. for- mal method of conducting a Cabinct council gives to each member in turn, beginning with the Secretary of State, the opportunity to submit to. the council such public business as may be then pending in his department, which is then discussed in the pres- ence of the President until some conclusion is reached. Rumor says that when Mr. Secretary Boutwell was asked at the council board what he had to submit he usually replied “Nothing,” and advisea privately with the President afterward, The instances are numerous which show how little the President uses his Cabinet as a council board, It is said, for example, that the military interference in New Orleans last winter was prepared and carried through Without previous consultation with the Cabinet, the { Secretary of War and General Sheridan receiving their | orders direct from the President, and itis well known that these procoedings came very near causing the resigna- tion of at least two members, Messrs. Fish and Jewell, and made matters very unpleasant fora while for the President and Secretary Belknap, Tho latter, having in public despatches committed the whole Cabinet to Genoral Sheridan’s acts and reports, was obliged to cat a good deal of humble pic at the hands of Messrs. Fish, Bristow and Jewell, who did not, as was well known, favor the Louisiana policy of that date, and did not choose to suffer themselves to be placed in a false posi- | tion before the country, A still more conspicuous case was the singular message on the Arkansas imbroglio, which, although it proposed an extraordinary, and, as wag generally thought here at the time, an unconstitutional and revolutionary policy, was sent to the Senate with- out consultation with the Cabinet and evenswithout the previous knowledge of most of its members, who were as much amazed at the contents of this message as the Senators to whom it was read. Nor, unless rumor at the time was uncommonly false, was the subject even alluded to by the President at any subsequent Cabinet meeting. It was said on good authority thet Mr. Shep- herd was the only person to whom this messago was submitted before it was sent in, and the surprise at this was lessened when it became known that Senator Dor- soy, of Arkansas, tle head of the Brooks faction, was the intimate friend of Mr. Shepherd. el It was during the Louisiana trouble, by the way, that | Secretary Robeson began to take a decided stand with Messrs. Fish, Bristow and Jewell, and there was a smile tn Washington soviety at the time over a story to the effect. that Mrs, Robeson, who is a:lady of de- cided opinions, had warned the Secretary that he was “not to hazard his political future by giving. his con- | sent to what was plainly a very unpopular policy,” | This was, perhaps, only a malicious invention of the | political gossips; but ii is certain that since then‘ Mr. Robeson has been ranged on the Fish side. A Cabinet conducted on the military staf! system has one serious disadvantage. Its members do not influ- ence the President as a body. He hears no discussion, and if any member chooses for his own purposes to carry on the business of his department with the President alone he has the opportunity to do so, Under previous administrations such a course by @ member of the Cabinet would fave been unusual, not to say oflensive, to _ his fellow ‘members, and it would ‘not have been countenanced by any previous Prosident. Mr. of conducting public business; but le discovered very early in Mr, Lincoln’s administration that it mado trouble, and had the tact to submit to tho inevitable. Bat it was the chosen manner of transacting busi- ness with Attorney General Williams and Secretary Delano. They aimed to be favorites as well as Cabinet Ministers; they took great pains to make themselves “couveniout”” to General Grant, and every one who has lived in Washington since. the accession of the President knows how easily, and indeed unconsciously, he is influenced by friendly personal relations, especially if the friends are a little obsequious. He is’ by nature acompanionable man, and he feels lonesome in the White House. Men of culture like Mr. Fich alarm him a little; he does not feet comfortable in thoir presence, for ho is only a plain man, with limited powers of con: versation and avery lunited view in public affairs, Moreover, he is, as an English paper once said of him, alittle “thivolous,” in the sense of being eastly bored with public bust If a matter interests him he is apt to mull it over in his own mind; to sound, perhaps, some one or two of his intimates, and to give no sign to the general Cabinet until he has himself reached a conclusion, which 18 then likely to be final. Over a nature such as this men like Secretary Fish can have but a limited influence, and that only in his own department; but a man like Mr. Delano or Mr, Williams, serviceable, if not superservicoable, has great advantages, for General Grant is, without doubt, an Mr, Delano, during the Height of the Louisiana cxcite- ment, to run quietly on to New York and busy himself | with making public opinon there in favor of the Presi- | dent's policy. | The remainder of the Cabinet gathered | in the White Houge, meantime, and some of them told General Grant, what hg did not at all care to hear, that bo bad made a mistake. Naturally he liked Mr. Delano better than his eritical advisers, Mr. Delano bad at one time the ambition to be Secre- tary of th Treasury, aud tho President was upon the point of naming him as Mr. Richardson's successor, and would have done go, had not sume intimate friends interfered and | prevented what — they explained to him would have been a serious blunder. This cisappointmont tor a while soured the temper of the Secretary of tho Interior, and he would not have beon uuhappy had the Louisiana affair caused the resignation of Messrs, Fish, Jewell and Bris- tow, a8 was for some days expected. But the Prest- dent_ saw at that time that so serious @ break in the Cabinet would condemn bis policy, and, with the political sagacity which he possesses, felt that the best way to tide over the wave of public indignation was to allegiance. Of course, hedid not care for their fuvare, nor did he ask to take their advice, The present predominance of tho Fish-Bristow- Jewell wing of the Cadinet ts believed here to have tts chief cause in the intluence which the Postmaster Gen. eral has secured with the President, Mr, Jewell ts not only a good business man and a capable Postmasier | General, but he bas great tact; he values his influence at the White House abd knows how to preserve 1t, and he means to use it for good ends. Neverthe- | jess, it cannot be sad that. either he or those colleagues with whom he acts, have | much real influence with the President. If they had we should have had some time ago several decided j celebrated piantste, Miss Sophie Flora Heilbron, was to | “Cracevta,’”? by Wallaco—the plaudits of the audience dent, and thus mar an otherwise good piece of adminis- trative work. Nevertheless, it is always an advantage to get a little fresh blood into the net.

REPRODUCTION OF LA FILLE DE MADAME ANGOT” AT THE LYCEUM. Offenbach seems to give place to Lecocq in popular favor, “Madame L’Archiduc” which was produced at the Lyceum Theatre to begin the season of opéra bouffe has already been superseded by the younger composer's favorite work, and last night “La Fille de: Madame Angot’? was reproduced ‘before an overflowing house. No work of this school, not even “La Grande Duchesse,”” has taken a more complete hold upon the public, and since its first prodyction in this city at the Broadway Theatre two years ago it has been gaining rather than losing in popular esteem, The interest In | the work last night was as great almost as on the first night of its production in this country, though the renderimg of the piece was scarcely equal to its initial performance, Mile. Geoffroy, as Clairette, was inadequate to the part, both as a singer and an actress, In the middle register hor voice is a veryagrocable one, but her higher and lower notes are feeble and unsatisfactory, This fault could be overlooked, however, if she possessed the animation we have been taught to expect in Madame Angot’s vivacious daughter, but, lacking this, the part sinks into a sceondary place in the esteem of a critical audience. The real honors of the evening were carried off by Mile, Nardynn as Mlle, Lange, and M. De Quercy as Ange Pitou, The lady's singing was mevery way as satisfactory as could be expected on a first night, and her acting was always agreeable and ‘sometimes spirited. ‘The tenor’s success was a happy supplement to his good fortune. The syin- pathetic qualities of M. DeQuerey’s voice and his un- affected acting have been gaining him admirers ever since his first appearance in this city at the Park ‘Theatre a year ago, and his art was more clearly established” than ever by his intelligence and spirit in the part he assumed last might, word of praise is also due Mile. Lucie Fayo, who sung the part of Amaranth and earned the firstencere of the evening. The Pomponstet of M. Darcy was a fair performance, and the minor parts were acceptably fled, while the chorus and orchestra were as satisfactory as could be expected. On the whole, the | perlormauce 1s Lo bu highly approved, as it was greatly enjoyed. The work is gennrally unobjection- able on the ground of morality, and the | story is more consecutive and intelligible than with most of the librettos of this peculiar school of art.

EDWIN BOOTH. INTERVIEW WITH THE TRAGEDIAN AT COS con— HIS LEPT ARM POWERLESS—THE TERRSGLE OR- DEAL MB. BOOTH MUST PASS THROUGH. In order to ascertain the exact condition of Mr. Ed win Booth, and to learn, if possible, from his own lips the effect of the injuries which he sustained a few woeks since, aud which have been so severe as to-eom- pel him to postpone his engagement at the Fifth Ave - nue Theatre, a Herav reporter visited Cos Cob yester- day, where he fouud the tragedian, and held with him the conversation given in the seqnel The reporter met Mr. Booth in the prettiest part of bis Uttle estate, which overlooks the waters of the Sound, right in the midst of his garden of flowers. He was ar" ranging to transplant some of the rarest and daintiest Specinieus, and during the conversation with bim he paused ever and anon to direct the gardener. There was little in the tragedian’s appearance, save that is loft arm hung ina sling, to indicate the great injuries he sustained, and nothing in his face to betray the pain which he suffers from day to day. “Come,’’ said he, after the reporter had introduced himself, “let me take you over my little place and show you its prettiest outlooks,” and as tney passed from point to point he talked freely of himself and of nia coming theatrical work: “If it were not for this left arm of mine all would soon be right with me, and! would be able almost imme- diately to fulfil all my contracts with the various managers. But the arm is ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY POWERLESS, When unbandaged it falls helpless to my side, like a bar of lead, and I have no powor whatever to move it. cannot even move my wrist. There seems to be a stiffening of the elbow, and when I try to move my left hand, with the aid of my right, the pain is 80 severe that I cannot endure it, I have been exceedingly par- ticular since my accident im taking care of myself. Medical aid has been regularly called in, aud my arm is bathed and rubbed every day; bat, do what I will, its muscular strength, nerve and energy seem wholly goue. It is impossible for me to tell you when I will appear upon the stage again, Until there is a great change m the condition of the arm I must needs keep off tha boards, THR GREAT ORDEAL The doctor "has come and gone already to-day.

He replied that | would have to be put under the influence of some strong anwsthetic, and that nave to be mado while 1 was unconscious. I fear, as the doctor says, that my only hope lies 1n this direction. I don’t know exactly what the doctors intend to do, or precisely how they will operate upon me, but I leave it all to them. My doctor, who daily calls here, did not tell me deti- nitely when the experiment would be made, though, if made at all, it must needs be very svonm. My internal injuries, as you will remember, were very severe. Several of my right ribs were brokea, and I suffer a great deal in my might side.

Both are swollen to more than twice their normal size. One can easily understand from simply looking at his left hand . how much agony it must give him. A NEW STUDY. ‘You notice,” continued Mr. Booth, “ that these grounds about bere furnish tine facilis for dramaue last night the success of the performance must be counted as one of the most delightful episodes of the musical season, It is not expected | that ‘La Fille de Madame Angot will hold the stage for more than a week, ** Giroile-Girofla’® being under- lined for next Monday evening, and Offenbach’s latest | work, “Le Canard a Trois Bees,” is announced as in preparation, As the opéra 23d inst. these works will pidly follow each other. OLYMPIC THEATRE, There was a jammed house at this establishment Inst evening, composed, principally in the lower part of the house, of ladies. The style of performance is such that those who wish to have a good hearty laugh and an | evening’s enjoyment of good, healthy, innocent fun, devoid of any vulgurity, go to witness a programme in which all the best cleinents of Irish, Dutch and negro comedy are blended in with singing, dancing, acrobatic | Jeats, artistic tableaux and amusing sketches. The bill | for this week is a strong one; Pat Rooney, George ‘Knight, the Carlo Brothers, William Courtright, Harper | and Stansil, Miss Adah Richmond anda host of other | artists contributing to the amusement of thronged | houses. | METROPOLITAN THEATRE. 5 There was a fairattendance ai the Metropolitan last | evening. presence of Mme. Rentz’s band of female minstrels, who sing and play very well, Together with the first purt of the programme, which resembles the inangurai uct ofa minstrel perlormance, there are a number of | other acts, in which serio-comic singing, duneing, Ethiopian sketches and banjo playing take conspicuous rts. Professor Lawrence introduced his troupe of “Golden Statue Artists in their Ret ving Mirror of Classic Female Groupings.”” The performance con- cluded with the farce of “Grounds for Divorce,” The principal feature at this Louse is the | GERMANIA THEATRE. Yesterday evening was performed for the first time at | the above theatre “Monsieur Alphonse,” by Alexandre Damas, fils. It would be difficult to imagine a prettier | German adaptation of a French play than this. 1t is somewhat refreshing, too, to find Gaul and Teuton for- getting recent feuds and the victor copying a play from the vanquished. The cast is a strong ohe. Herr Kiersehuer has all the delicacy and finesse requiea tor Dumas’ exacting dialogue. Frauélein Weigel and Frauelein Schmitz are perfect in their parts, Herren Rohbeck and Collmer act thoroughly weil. Herr Raveve does justice to his difficult part. Frauelem | Lydia Saunder, quite a child, is a most enchantiig Adrienne. Those who wish to enjoy one of Dumas’ est light dramus would do well to sve this play in is German dress.

The rifle shooting mania has seized bold of the artists. at this house, and they nightly give good burlesque | representations of the practice of the teams, to the | amusement of the patrons of the Comique. “The New | York Policeman’ was the title of a new piece which was given last night here, and this, together with the other sketches and acts given, promises an eXcellent evening's entertainment. Wwoop's MUSEUM. Mr. Frank S. Chanfrau, who was always a New York favorite, made his appearance last night at Wood's Museum, in the sensational American drama, written expressly for him, entitled “Kit, the Arkansas Tray- eller,” ‘The theatre was crowded by an audienco eager | to witness Mr. Chanfrau in this, his peculiar and great part, and it is hardly necessary to add that he did not disappoint his friends, GILMORE'S GARDEN.

The remainder of the pro- gramme was well received. WACHTEL, ‘Theodore Wachtel, the great European tenor, is ex- pected to arrive to-day.

But this et it right again. ”? Mr. Booth then turned the conversation to generat | topics relating to the stage, and as the sun was going down the reporter bade him good-night on threshold of his cosey residence. the PEOPLE WITH Wé use Hatk's Honxy or He Pis's Tootuacix Duovs cure in one minute. $190; SILK HATS, $3 89, New Church st. up stairs.
