THE SARATOGA DEFAULTER. ‘Troy, N.

He appears to be very despondent and is stubbornly un- communicative. The over issue of county bonds was commenced five years ago. Mann has regularly paid the interest, dnd perhaps would huve continued to do 80 bad he been re-elected. It is said he also handled $120,000 in bonds issued by the Water Commissioners of the town of Saratoga, and it is not known whether these are all straight or not.

He says that as the great hulk of the Pacific dived down into the deep to rise no more, asif pulled into the dark embrace of some watery monster, the most piercing cries arose from her cabins, and did not cease to harass his ears until ¢\minute or two after the waves had rushed to- gether over her highest masthead.

The steamship Pacific was a wooden vessel and the property of Goodall, Nelson, Perkins & Company, pro- prietors of a steamship line plying along the coast. She was valued at $100,000, but was insured for only $40,000, The Pacific Mail Steamship Company recently sold her to her owners at the time of the disaster. She had been greatly improved and refitted clegantly before being placed on her new route, She was built by one of the most celebrated New York shipbuilders, Mr. William H, Brown, at the time when the country was ablaze with the “California fever.” All the shipyards of New York were then full of vesseis in process of construction, intended to carry emigrants to the new land of gold. She was launched September 26, 1850. Her registered burden is 875 tons; her length, 223 feet; width of beam, 31 feet; and depth of hold, 17 feet, LATER DESPATCH FROM PORT TOWNSEND— NAMES OF THE PASSENGERS GIVEN-—PARTIAL STORY OF THE SURVIVOR. .

THE RUMOR OF THE INDICTMENT OF BABCOCK AND GRANT PROBABLY FALSE—A PROMINENT DISTILLER PLEADS GUILTY. Sr. Lovrs, Nov. 8, 1875. In the Whiskey Ring cases the proceedings of the Grand Jury regarding Orvil Grant and General Bab- cock have not yet been made known. The rumor that appeared in several papers here to the effect that they had both been indicted is now believed to be false, and the probability is that no indictment will be found against either of them. That Patrick, the ex-United States District Attorney, is indicted with Chester H, Krum and others, there is little doubt, As nearly as can be ascertained, three of the Grand Jury were in favor of indicting Grant and Babcock, but the counsel objected. This seems queer, in view of the fact that United States District Attorney Dyer bad been exhibiting a letter from President Grant, in which he demanded the Prosecution of the guilty ones to the bitter end. in the Whiskey Ring matters here to-day was the plea of guilty entered by P. E. Jonett, one of the indicted distiller’, Jonett had heretotore declared. his determi- nation pot to plead guity, and it had been recently | charged by the Cincinnati Gazette and other papers that he would not confess because he was a partner of Col- lector Casey, the President's brother-'n-law, and that the governanent dare not prosecute him, ‘This story was believed by a large namber of the people, and the plea | of guilty was a surprise to many. Jonett is charged with defrauding. the governinent out of $80,000, and | his distillery, the most extensive in St, Louis, is under seizure, THR PETIT JURY e which is to try the whiskey cases, was organized to- day, Judge Treat cautioning them against tbe efforts that are likely to be made for their corruption, The Grand Jury brought in four new indictments to-day, only one of which is said to be for Whiskey Ring frauds. The indicted party 1s reputed to be Jonah Torlina, ono, of the wealthiest liquor dealers of St. Louis. Several whiskey cases have been set down for trial this and | next week, Ex-Supervisor McDonald’s trial comes off on Monday next, and Chief Clerk Avery’s has been fixed for the 17th inst. The cases against McKee and MoGuire will come dp next week and-will be fixed for trial, It is stated that Colonel John A. Joyce is to be brought down from Jefferson City to appear before the Grand Jury, he having offered to give some startling testi- mony about the operations of the Ring in St. Louis and elsewhere, AMUSEMENTS. MR, BOOTH AS RICHARD THE SECOND. The appearance of Mr, Booth in a new part is a dra” matic event almost national inits character, He inter- rupted his engagement atthe Fifth Avenue Theatre which thus far has been of unusual success and brill’ fancy, to present to the people of New York a repre- sentation of ‘Richard II.” The difficulty with a tra- | gedian of the genius and fame of Mr. Booth is that the popularity attending the familiar parts. of Shakespeare— Othello, Lear, lago, &c.—limits his usefulness as an in- terpretor of the genius of the great master of literature, Accordingly, when a tragedian who stands, as Mr. Booth now stands, confessedly at the head of his profes- sion, not only as the greatest actor in America, but among the great actors of the world, ventures beyond tho beaten path to present us with another of Shakespeare's creations, we feel that he prefers his art to his own ad- vancement, Mr. Booth could play Hamlet for a season, We have no doubt that if he had confined his present engagement at the Fifth Avenue Theatre to this one part it would have been followed by overflowing houses. The success would have been no less than that of Mr. Irving in London in the same character, for he is a much better actor than Mr, Irving in every respect. His absence from New York had given the people a zest for his performance so keen that in any representation he would have been assured of all the gsuc- cess that can come to a leading actor if a leading part. Therefore his performance of Richard Il, is made a doubie honor, not only as an effort to elevate the stage but to add to our knowledge of that undiscovered world of Shakespeare which, in the hurry and tumult of our later days,, is too often forgotten by those who are content to know this great master of tragedy and comedy in his Hamlet, his Bene- dick and his Othello. The character of Richard II. is so well known to the student of English history that it would ve the work of supererogation to dwell upon it, Itis more of a poem than a play, in this respect reminding us of “Werner,” “Manfred” and “The Rob. bers.” It represents in some respects the highest “qualities of Shakespeare’s genius. There are many speeches in it which reach the loftiest ranges of poetry, and Mr. Booth gives it a thoroughly poetic conception. The part is his from beginning toend. There is no second, no relief, no change of interest—the play is nothing without Richard. Hoe fills the stage, and Mr. Daly has answered this conception and the neces- sities of the character by clothing the play with all the wealth of scenery and decoration, Those who admire Mr. Booth’s striking qualities of figure and countenance, which add so largely to his popularity, need | to seo him in Richard I, to know what might be called tho beautiful Impersonation of his réle, It is hardly in the range of criticism to dwell upon this part of a great actor’s performance, but Mr. Booth has taken so mach pains evidently to clothe himself in the habiliments that belong to the part that it needs special attention at the hands of the critic. His first appear- ance in the robes of a king is a masterpiece of imperial adornment. In the play his costume changes almost from act to act, so that every new appearance may be called anew picture, The dark eyed, black haired, swarthy Hamlet becomes a blonde in Richard, & light faced, fair haired, gentle, weak-minded king, Irresolute, his place is constantly at war with his character—one moment ‘a king, the next a supplicant, passing from mood to mood with rapidity oflightning, In none of Mr. Booth’s parts does he so thoroughly fill the stage as in Richard IL, and this, which isa compliment to his genius as an actor, is really a weakness of the play, The interest of the play is not historical, because the history of these medieval times is dead in this noisy generation, The character is negative. There is nothing of the prance and movement of Henry V., where, when the play drags, the interest of the audience is kept up by the drums and biazonry of war, ‘There is nothing of the terrible personality of Richard III., — where, in spite of the incredible villany of the character, we never cease to admire that mighty intellect which made even villany tolerable in the eyes of generations, but wo see a well sustained poetic embodiment of one of the most Interesting (characters in English history, In this respect the performance of last evening was an event in the history of modern drama. ‘Tho fact that the play was new to the audience gave it at the beginning a cold reception, and Mr. Booth from the beginning had to play against his people: The first two acts, therefore, seemed to drag, al” though the second is in some respects the finest in tho flay, But all was new—the conception of the charac- ter; the appearance of a tragedian so familiar to every one in the house and yet so strange ‘n his unusual raiment; tho speeches which none but the scholars of Shakespeare understand; the play, which is monotonous and appeals rather to the sympathies than to the heroic passions of the multitude. It requires more than ordinary genius to make the weakness and frivolity and timidity of the King, who loses his throne because of his own waywardness, a pleasing representation. This Mr, Booth did, He rose with his part, The scene where he returns from Ireland and Qnds his kingdom in arms against him was a succession of brilliant pas- sages declaimed with tragic force and a keen appre- ciation of the poetry and beauty of the text, The third act, where he meets Bolingbroke, and makes submission to the usurper, was nobly sus- tained throughout, while the fourth act, where he re- signs the crown bat at the same time refuses to re- sign his royal manhood, carried the audience by storm and won for him the compliment of two calls belore the curtain, As we have said, the success of Richard II. lays in the fact that it represents that devotion to art which has always marked Mr. Booth’s career, and which is shown in its highest degree in his loyally phocsonndl tho fulness of his fame to add a vow glory to even that of Shakespeare, The support deserves commendation. In somo instances the company seme to be sinking, as it | were, beneath tho greatnoss of the leading part. Mr. | Fisher played John of Gaunt with fineness and delicacy, while Mr. Hardenberg, as the Duke of York, showed tho originality and truth which have marked some of his really meritorious performances, Mr, Harkins did very little with Bolingbroke, although it is due to him to say that it is a thankless character, being, as it wore, a foil to the great central figure of the play. Mr. Barrymore deserves credit for the fire which he threw into the small part of the Duke of Aumerle. Miss Rigl, Miss Gilbert and Miss Grey also deserve special mention. The part will be played this evening and to-morrow, and | (perhaps on Friday evening, Qn Thursday Mr, Booth | will play Hamlet, On Wednesday there will be a Special matinée performance, We are glad to note the continued success of this engagement. It shows that New York bas not forgotten the illustrious actor whe has added so much glory to its dramatic history and who | shows his appreciation of the esteem in which he is held by such an effort as he made last evening. GERMAN OPERA—‘“‘THE RUGUENOTS.” Meyerbeer’s masterwork was given in German last night by Mr. Neuendorff’s company for the third time. ‘The representation of the opera was excellent, as far as the tenor and the three prime donne were concerned, and the chorus and orchestra did ample justice to the experienced director, Mr, Neuendorif. Mr. Wachtel seems to have made a careful study of the great scene of the fourth act, the climax of the opera, The duet with Valentine was given by him last evening with abundant fire and abandon, and his exception~ ally telling volce rang out in its most brilliant tones in this number, Mme. Wagner, the Valentine was surprisingly good in her arduous réle, and she ably seconded the efforts of the tenor in what may be called the grandesy duet ever written in opera. She ws equally successful in the duot with Marcel in the pr. ceding act, and Mr. Fassbender made a very favorable impression in the réle of the old Huguenot soldier, He has a true basso profundo voice and he | uses it with effect. The St, Bris of the occasion was simply intolerable and should never have been intrusted with such a responsible réle. Tho tenor who led the rataplan was equally undesirable. ‘The radical fault about German singers—always excepting Wachtel, who has had the advantage of singing for some time in Italian—is that they are prone to shouting, and that “legato” is a term generally unknown to them. When they desire to make a point they seem to ding tt savagely at the audience. THE LYCEUM THEATRE, ‘The Mexican Juvenile Opera Troupe appeared in full force at this house last evening in the burlesque opera, “Marina,” Little Carmen assumed the title rdle, while the various members of the Moron family supported the minature prima donna, “Marima,” though in- vested with a strong burlesque character by the little folks, is not so amusing as “La Grande Duchesse,”” and will scarcely be repeated during the present en- gagement. The Senorita Soledad sung arias from jomnambula” and ‘Trovatore’’ between the acts, and the tiny Guadalupe caused some merriment by her song, ‘La Paloma,’’ which she rendered in a perfectly “cunning” manner, CONCERT AT THE TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT ARMORY. A very large audience filled the spacious armory of the Twenty-second regiment last evening, the attrac- tions being a regimental dress parade and a hop. Gil- more’s Band supplied the music, and very charming music it was. Litolil’s very, effective and sensational overture, ‘“Robespierre;? eber’s inimitable “Invita- tion a la Danse,” Schmelz’s splendid arrangement for military pan of Liszt’s second Hungarian rhapsody, and a potpourri by Riviere, formed the principal selec- tions. Mr, Arbuckle played a cornet solo, in which he {ntroduced many variations on a cavatina from Verdi's “Attilla.”” A large number of people were present, especially when the dancing began, EAGLE THEATRE. ‘There was a fair attendance last evening at the Eagle ‘Theatre, and the, spectators were at once put in good humor by the eccentricities of Mr. John Wild in a sketch entitled the “Lunatic.” There were a number of other amusing features. Miss Sophie Flora Heil- bron, the accomplished pianist, is underlined as one of the attractions for the week commencing Monday, No- vember 22, woop's MUSEUM. The “Streets of New York’? was revived last night at Wood’s Museum, with Mr. T, W. Keene in the réle of Badger. The drama is too well known to the play- goers of New York to require a sketch of the plot, and the large attendance, especially tn the upper part of the house, proved that it had not lost. its attractions, 1 will remaim on the boards Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and “Robert Macaire” and “Oliver Twist” will be given on Friday and Saturday evenings. GLOBE THEATRE. “Eva” appeared at the Globe Theatre last evening, not Adams’ time-honored spouse, but a decidedly agile tight rope performer, who certainly would have easily overcome any physigal obstacles in procuring the for- bidder fruit." The remainder of the performance con- sisted principally of songs and jokes, a comical pan- tomime andadroll pigmy smali enough to make his début in the Marionettes, The performers were re- coived with favor by a numerous audience. THEATRE COMIQUE. An entirely new bill, with some amusing features, was presented at the Comique, Maffitt and Bartholo- mew and other popular favorites made their rentrée; new songs and dances were introduced, and a panto- mime, “Bibo and Barbetto,” which produced hearty laughier, concluded the entertainment, OLYMPIC THEATRE. The bill of startling uoyelties at the Olympic attracted an audience last night great even for this pop- ular house. Mr, Pat Rooney’s new songs and the “Comic Quartet,” as well as the other comicalities of this monster Dill, were provocative of boisterous mi | riment throughout, The Olympic presents certainly a capital opportunity this week for having a “good Jaugh."” TONY PASTOR'S. At Tony Pastpr’s a goodly audience laughed over the vocal, terpsichorean and dramatic extravaganzas which the new vill embodies, The Tyrolese’singers, the Irish songs of Miss Kate 0’Connor, the numerous character dancers and Mr. Tony Pastor's Scigtbal songs were among the things most keenly relished by the audience, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, The initial performance of Miss Adelaide Phillips? Italian Opera season at Washington last night was a de. cided succoss. The ensemble of her company won em- phatic praise. As Rosina, in the “Barber of Seville,” Miss Phillips was repeatedly encored and bas won a decided triumph, Mime, Titiens sang in the oratorio of “Elijah,” given | by the Handel and Hayden Society at Music Hall, in Boston, last night, She was received with much enthusiasm and was presented with superb floral offer- ings, Over 3,000 people were present. The rece ipts wore above $5,000. Hundreds of persons were turned away. A reception was given her at the Revere House after tho performance and an elegant service was pre- sented her. The musical services at the Roman Catholle Church of St. Peter's, in South Brooklyn, last Sunday, were more thun usually attractive, Haydn’s Mass, No. 2, was'very effectively rendered by the choir, undor tho conduct of Mr. Cortada. Gounod’s ‘Ave Maria” was interpreted with great taste and pathos by Mrs. J Hall, toan exquisite obligato accompaniment, played by Seiior Joseph White, the Cuban violinist. His rendor- ing of the *Benedictus”’ likewise was excellent. HOWARD GLOVER'S FAMILY. JOHN BROUGHAM'’S APPEAL FOR AN ARTIST'S HELPLESS CHILDREN, Novemper 6, 1875, To THe Epiror or TnR HeRatp:— Howard Glover, whose life has been slowly beaten out of him by continuous blows of {ll fortune, has left a widow and eleven children entirely destitute, Grand- son of Betterton and son of one of the brightest orna- ments of the stage, himself a composer of no mean repute, his suftering family holds a close relationship with the musicat and dramatic professions, and I am convinced that it needs but the Heraxn, ever prompt to initiate generous action, to givo the simple facts of the case publicity to obtain employment for the older children and immediate relief for all. Respectfully yours, JOHN BROUGHAM.
