Francis Egerton, liberal member of Parliament for East Derbyshire, intends calling the attention of the House of Commons to the inquiry into the loss of the omigrant ship Strathmore, the crew ot which was rescued and most humanely treated by Cap- tain Giflord, of the American whaler Young Phoenix.

The secretary of the Miners’ Union has written to all the miners’ lodges that we are on the eve of a terrible crisis and that there is not to be a strike, but that terms are to bo made somehow. He assures the miners that, if a strike is begun, there is every likelihood of its continuing some time, with « possibility of having to submit to a still greater reduction.” SILVER, =, Bar silver is quoted to-day at 515¢4, PRESS COMMENTS ON PRESIDENT GRANT'S EX- TRADITION LAW MESSAGE—AN ‘‘UNFORTUN- ATE’’ POINT IN THE INTERNATIONAL NEGO- TIATIONS. Loypox, June 22, 1876. The Standard says :—‘‘We hope President Grant's Message does not express the settied determination of the American government relative to the extradition question. We infer from the Message that, if we will concede somewhat, an arrangement is possible, The feeling between thetwo countries is now, we trust, sufficiently good to allow discussion of such matters in the common belief that neither is trying to overreach the other. It does not appear that President Grant disputes the justice of the principle which England wishes to establish. He objects only on o point of honor, It 18 unfortunate that au amended treaty was not negotiated in 1870. It is the business of a practical statesman to repair the mistake in the best way possible.” The Times says tho termination of the Extradition trenty isacalamity. Itis satisfactcry to note that President Grant expresses readiness to open negotiations for a more efficient treaty. The President is scarcely just m representing the British government as prossing for a new treaty under the menace of terminating the existing one. The British governmen‘ found that Lawrence might be tried for an offence other than that for which he was extradited. They had never regarded such a contingency as possible, and felt bound to take care that % should not happen = again. It ts clear thero would be no difficulty in extending the list of extradition crimes between Great Britain and the United States so as to include all the crimes mentioned iu the act of 1870. If the latter desires tu include even more crimes Great Britain would be ready to consider the sugzestions, even though the additions might entail anew act of Parlia- ‘tment. We observo with pleasure that, while President Grant refuses to accede to the insertion in the existing treaty of a provision that persons shall only be tried for the crimes for which they are extradited, he does not commit himself to a declaration that he would re- sist its insertion in a now treaty. The Times concludes:—‘We emphatically ropeat the hope that no considerations of pique or punctilio will be allowed to interfere with the negotiation of a now treaty,” FRANCE, SENATOR BUFFET TAKES HIS SEAT—THE SENATE COMMITTER ON THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION BILL—THE GUILLOTINE STILL IN FAVOR. Versaituxs, June 21, 1876. In the Senate to-day the election of M. Buffet was confirmed, and the new Senator took bis seat among the members of the Right Centre. PARTY BALANCES IN THE SENATE. The Bureaux of the Senate elected the Committee on the University Education bill. The committee consists of six opponents and three supporters of the bill. This result is due to the fact that the members of the Right are more equally distributed among the various‘ bureaux instead of their strength being wasted by con- centration to onc or two. An examination of the total number of votes cast in ‘he burcaux shows that 132 Senators were opposed to tho bill and 131 in favor of it : Several Senators, however, abstained from votinz, , who are expected to support the bill on the final ballot. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. A resolution in favor of the abolition of capital punishment, offered by Victor Schoclcher and seconded by Jules Favre, was rejected. TURKEY.

PRRVIAN RXCITEMENTS. A Vienna special to the Times says it is reported that there was great excitement in the Servian towo of Schabatz on Tuesday last in consequence of gows that two brigades of militia there had been ordered to be in readiness to march and that war would be declared against Turkey the nettcay. As advices from Belgrade do not coniirm Whese reports it is possible that the Schavatz excite- mént was gotten up to exercise a pressure on the Ser- ian government, tw certain, however, that tho projected Servian mission to Constantinople has been given ap, showing that the hope of obtaining anything by negotiations with the Porte has been abandoned.

THE NEWS OF DOM PEDRO'S RECEPTION IN THE UNITED STATES RECEIVED IN RIO JANZIBO— THE FILES OF THE HERALD AMONG HIS MAJESTY'S SUBJROIS—MAKING THE AMERICAN JOURNAL GO VERY FAB IN A CROWD—A GRAND REVOLUTION THROUGH THE AMERICAN PRESS. Rio Janmino, May 26, 1876, The apathy of tho native Brazilian regarding matters and things pertaining to what they call, in their grandiose way, the “Great Republic of the North,” has often been remarked by that frequently to be mot with individual—tho travelled American. Tho capitals of Europe, with their dissipations and luxurtousness, have ever bern the haven of ail Brazilians who go abroad and the heaven of all who are obliged to stay at home, While the rapid growth of the young Republic and its marvellous progress always excited admiration, even wonder, yet the dilletante native, like the wenlthy Southerner before the war, regarded both the growth and the progress as pertainng to the ‘‘canallle” (a word in common use in educated circles here) and the workingman—sometbing that should not “come between the wind and théir nobility.”” Contact with the busy, active, energetic people of the North ruffled their dig- nity, and was damaging to the well brushed stovepipe hat, smooth black coat and black patent leather boots which constitute the national costume, for the Brazilian is nothing if not “marching in a procession.” This apathy regarding the United States only needed the great ex- ample of the Emperor and Empress to be removed, and now, as if large scales were falling from their eyes, the Brazilians are gazing toward the North and listen- ing with painfully attentivo ears for every scrap of news from there. A HERALD REVOLUTION. As it 1s possible, under carefully contrived mechapi- cal apparatus, to force water through granite, und even denser material, so is it possible to impress and per- meate the Braziiian public with a fact; and, beginning with the first telegrams from Rio to the New York Heratv announcing the Emperor’s departure and end- ing with the detailed Hrnaxp account of the Emperor's reception in Now York, which, refiectively, acted on tho nationa! mind, it may safely be premised that all Brazil is looking toward the United States with more interest than ever pervaded it before, and regarding the New Yorx Heratp as an official exponent of the ideas of the American people, and, for the timo being, of. the Emperor and the impersa party; hence when the Nello Martin arrived, on the 18th of May, having left New York on the morning of the day succeed. the arrival of the Emperor, there was an exciting in- terest exhibited to know ‘“‘all about it.” Alas! tho letter and newspaper mail was all dated New York, April 15, and therefore contained nothing relating to the reception, THR GREAT News. Later it leaked out that your correspondent had re- ceived several copies of the Hxnaxp of the 16th,which, with the usual foresight, had been ¢cspatched to him, Then began a steady flow of polite inquiry for the privi- lege of reading the prized account; gradually growmg more and mor citing, the polite request became a boisterous demand, until he was obliged to A POST THE PAGES OF THE HERALD containing the particulars of the imperial voyage and reception on the bulletin boards at the door in oraer to queli the more than imperative betests of tho public, Never, even in the days of "49 in ‘Frisco, were journals in more demand than was the New Yor« Heratv, in the heroic and loyal city of Sao Sebastian do Rio do Janeiro, on the day after the arrival of the steamer from New York. Any one, with a few thousand copies of the particular Henaco in question might have laid the foundation of a good business by discreetly supplying the excited de- mand. a LOOKING TO THE NORTH, ‘The Fluminensians, during the few days which have elapsed since the news of the imperial reception came 10 hand, have learned more of he United States, have given it more of their active thought, than during any prev: period of five years, The jovrnals have copied, almost verbatim, the two-page de- scription of tho voyage from Rio to New York and the account of the reception of His Mayesty, which the Hxxav printed, and comments on the Hexatp enterprise are published in every paper that has since appeared.

THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE DRAMA IN. LONDOX. Dumas’ Play of L’Etrangere at the Haymarket Theatre. IMPOSSIBILITY OF TRANSLATION. Sarah Bernhardt in the Original— yi Her Last Appearance. THE TESTIMONIAL BENET TO BUCKSTONE. Loxpox, Juno 10, 1876. Though all people may bear translation, all things msy not Among these things is Dumas’ latest play, “L’Etrangére,” which, just one week ago, was brought out at the bistoric Haymarket Theatro beiore an audi- ence of distinction. In one stage box sat Miss Noilson, in another Mrs. Rousby, in a third Miss Genevieve Ward, while in the stalls wero critics innumerable, managers and dramatists, such a ‘knock down of in- Aellect” ag ought to be sufficient to knock the wits out ofa neryous actor on a ‘first sight.” . The time may come when managers will realize the wisdom of treat- ing the first night ofa new play as a dress rehearsal and not permitting critics to pass judgmeut until the artists have got used to their parts and their clothes, On my going a second time to note improvement, the critic beside me expressed amazement that I should devote two evenings to one play. ‘My dear sir,’ 1 re- plied, “1 consider it most unfair to judge actors or plays on a first night I do unto others asi like to be done by.” ‘Well,’ answered the critic, who is an extromely good fellow, er such an evidence of conscience op your part I shail be obliged to remain until the ond. I intended to leave afver the second act.”’ This good fellow’s article ‘will be milder than it would have been. LINGUAL DIFFICULTIES. Let us go first to Paris, where “L’Etrangére’”’ camo from, it is a great success, and where it Is acted At the Thédtre Frangais three nights a week. People here are abusing Dumas because they don’t like the transiation. He is denounced—:o are all modern French plays—and tho English are told to write their own dramas. By all means, if they can, but it seems bad taste to decry the productions of a stage to which the Anglo-Saxon world owes much pleasure and much artistic profit, especially when at this moment the two most charming plays in J.ondon are “A Serap of Paper and, ‘A Quiet Rubber.’ They are making the fortune of the court while at the Gaicty Charles Mathews is putting money tn hisparso by “My Awful Dad,” which is “Le Pore Prodigue’’ over again. Dumas’ drama isso intensely French, so dependent for success upon its dialogue and its subdued French acting, that it is almost impossiblo in any other language. Improbabilities of plot that seem a matter of co-rse in French become ridiculous when rendered ungracefully into English. The French langaage produces a sort of moonlight effect upon thom, bringing out what is picturesque, hiding what: is unseemly. Our straightforward English is ss unsenti- ‘mental as broad sunlight und as remorseless in exhibit. ing defects. Where a play is all moonshine it is a fatal mistake to expose itto the sun. Dumas has written a play for Paris; thero it should remain. The right to Produce it here has cost the Haymarket management $5, 00, and I’m afraid they’ve made A BAD INVESTMENT, Wero the translation as clever as the original, and were the English ladies the peers of Sarah Bernhardt and Mile. Croizette, I believe ‘*L’Etrangére” would succeed in English ; but as it is we shall sec. A beauty is no longera beauty when you have reduéed her toa skeleton. Got’s part of Dr. Rémoutn bad been merei- lessly reduced to nothing to satisfy the public taste for so-called propriety; the warm passages in the loves of the Duchess de Septmonte and young Girard have been cut out, so thatthe latter character played to perfec- tion by Monnet-Sully becomes a walking gentleman. At’ est oue hour is taken out of the original, and then Dumas is abused for the carcase. " A WOMAN'S PLAY, “L’Etrangére,” is cssentially a woman's play. It isa duel between the Parisian Duchess and the American, Mrs, Clarkson ; the only two women who can fight it are Crotzette and Bernhardt, PoorSarah Bernhardt! It wits sad enoagh to see her the night when she fainted in “L’Etrangére,” since when she has not been able to appear. So thin os almost to defy the possibility of a shadow, sbe is the subject of many a French witticism. Figaro tells a story of how, while passing under a new building when a heavy stone fell, Mile. Bernhardt had sufficient presence of mind to throw herself flat on the ground, so that on removing the stone she was found to be uninjured. Lithe and serpentine in movement, with quivering nostrils, with an airof great distine- tion, she can do unladylike things in a ladylike man- ner. When she, as Mra Clarkson, sits ona table tho action is perfectly comme i faut, She is subtie in all sho says; what she does is chiefly with her eyes, You understand why such a woman, coming a stranger to Paris, captivates men and 1¢ prot ced *‘danger- ous’? by the women. Un this memorable last appear- ‘ance the curtain had fallen on tho second act when it slowly roso half way—as is the French custom in making spnouncemontse—and M. Garraud came for- ward, bowing firat to right, thea to loft, then to centre, He c to say that their amiable comrade, Sarah Bernhardt, was sudering greatly, but would endeavor to go thro her part. The audience applauded ly. but when Mile. Bernbardt was discovered lying pant ing On a Sola at tho beginning of the third act there ‘was not a sound from the audien The French never ons. The Duchess de Septmoots calls on irs, Clarkson, and the latior tells the story of ner life, In the narrative Mile. Bernhard: reemed to lose all sepse of being Il. inisbed it, waiked tothe centre of the stage, exclaimed ‘that is the way my fortune began” and then fell suddenly, her whole slight weight coming apon her elbow. There was a gencral scream from the thrilled audience, Mile. Croizetie rushed to the suffering artist, crying ‘le rideau! le rideau!” and the curtain quickly shut outa painic! scene. Tho curtain again rose haif way, and M. Febvre, who PLATS THR AMERICAN, after making the three regulation bows assures the public that Ne. Bernhardt could not continue, that though her indisposition was serious it was not danger- ous, and that Mile. Lioyd would assume her réle. Tho Jatter lady is a tall, beefy person and filled Berubardt’s Ince wany times over—in physique. Fortunately Sirs Ciarkson’s best scenes were over, and the play passed off well enough, Milo. Bernhardt 18 a sculptor ‘as well as uctress, one who has recently gained an honorable mention from (he salon, and it is quite pos- sible that her seven hours a day given to modelling may have had something to do with her present ex- haustion. REMRARSAL IN PARIS. Well “L’Ktrangére” had nivo months’ rehearsals in Paris under Dumas’ personal direction. The bony English version was produced here after cight re- hearsals. NOT A CAUSE FOR WONDER. The people are surprised vne is not as good as the other. Miracles are out of date, but the English artists do their best, and otthem commands great praise.

B. Buckstone, for fifty years an actor, for twenty-three years a man: Drury Lave was crowded with a ‘most interesting audience, largely made up of well known actors, From one box peered the kindly face of J L.

The Bal centre of the house, and pearb J. and family. Owing to the iudefatigable mavagement of Mr, John Hollingshead and other gentlemen, the beue- fit was a complete pecuniary success, $6,500 being qs If the amouns is less by $2,500 than that tained two years ago'ior Mr. Benjamin Webster, it 1s DUM ENTIRELY TO THE WARD TIMES. Then people paid as as five guineas for a stall, Thursday no cne gave more than the specitied price, two guineas, Then Mr. Hollingshead bought two boxes for $150 and sold tuem for $850. No such premium gould be extracted on this occasion, Engiand has lost $1,500,000,000 in the Stock Exchange. Sho has poured gold into the pockets of Keyl, of Spain, of Turkey, of Pera, and igels as poor as France felt after her last war. i You may marvel at th nity of Investing in such wild speculations, but here ia the fact, aud theretore Mr, Buckstone’s purse is not as fat as his frionds wished to make it “SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL.’’ The performance of School for Scandal’’—the cast of which you already know—wos remarkable rather for tho number of distinguished actors enrolled than for its harmonious ensemble.
