Tweed, to this tountry inthe Franklin. The whole thing was kept a profound secrot here and was known only to Secretary Fish and the Acting Secret: of the Navy, Much Suriosity :6 indulged in to know how the Hrraup ob- tained the news so accarately, A high oficial re- marked to-night that no state secret wss over so well kept except the,throatened war with Cuba, and that was, it is contended, fully kept. But the same person fe authority for the statement that the Heratn stopped the war. MOVEMENTS OF THE FRANKLIN, The Frankiin will loave Vigo to-day or to-morrow, and, as she ‘s avery slow, cumbersome sea going vessel, it thought she will not arrive here within at least thirty days from this time, if then. The passage at this season is regarded at the Navy Department as likely to be very rough. Tho Franklin will put into Madeira for coal and will make no ,other stop, except, perhaps, tho Azores, and only there in the event of distress, She will avoid the northeru passage, taking a southerly or southwesterly course, and come direct to New York, where Tweed will bo turned over to the United States Commissioner. speak to him, directions to that effect having already been given.

SPAIN. ENGLAND ORDERS THE RELEASE OF THE TWO SPANISH REVENUE OFFICERS. Mannip, Sqpt. 25, 1876, The Politica to-day says:—“Tho two Spanish rev- enue officers who were taken prisoners by boats of the British man-of-war Samarang, on the 16th inst., at the time of the recapture of a trading ship which had been taken by a Spanish cutter in Gibraltar harbor, have been released by the British authorities, in eon- sequence of warm protests of the Spanish Consul.”” SIGNOR SEDANO'S LITTLE JOKE, La Politica urges that indemnity should be demanded from England for their illegal detention, THE HOME OF EX-QUEEN ISABELLA.

Loxpox, Sept. 25, 1876. The Mark Lane Ezpress, tn its review of the British corn trade during the past week, says:—‘'Much Eng- lish wheat has come to market in more or less damp condition, but tho change to drier weather will now enable thresbing to proceed ander more favorable cir- cumstances. The agricultural season being far a vanced attention is now meinly directed to tho in- gathering of cereals in Scotland, where the state of the outstanding crops has caused considerable anxiety for gome time past. The rain has done wonders for root crops and pastures, The publication of the agricultural returns for 1875-76 enables us to form a reliablo idea as to the yield of the home crops and the extent to which we ehall be dependent upon foreign supplies. These returns show a decline in the area of wheat planted of 378,000 acres from Inst yoar and of 678,000 acres from the average area planted during the eight years previous to 1876, The decline from last year, bowover, may be made up in increased yield per acre and improved con- dition, and tho yield of the presont crop is estimated at 10,600,000 quarters. With 00,000 quat ters deducted for seod there will remain 9,800,000 quarters for consumption England will require in the coming year about 13,000,000 from the stock on hana and foreign importation.” Because of the deficiency inthe home supply mach interest ts centred in the American crop.

Provivescer, R. 1, Sept. 25, 1876, In the United States Circuit Court to-day Judgo Kaowles delivered the opinion of tho Court (Judges Clifford and Knowles) in a case of action at law—The United States vs. Rowland G. Hazard. Tho action j one of debt to recover a sum of $17,451 for tax on defendant's income in 1868. Defendant pleads in Dar to recovery the payment by defendant of the anseasment made by the United States Assistant As: sor, With the added penalty of filty per cent. United States Attorney (Gardner) demurred to this and other pleas, and the opinion of the Court to-day su taina the demurrer, following tho principle of the decision of the United Statex Supreme Court in the case of The Pollar Savings Bank vs, Tho United States, The cave is important, as it is the first one that has been instituted to recover incomo tax after a citizen had paid the tax assessed by the United States Axses- sof, with fifty percent penalty.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, ‘Wasmixatoy, Sept. "25, 1876. POSTMASTER GENERAL TYNEBR ON EXISTING MAIL FACILITIES—DISSATISFACTION DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY. Postmaster Gencrol Tyner bas returned to his post fully invigorated by his trip, aod says that although ho was irequently invited to be present at the meeting of she Congressional committee appointed for the investi- gation of railway mail service he steadily declined, Decause he wants them, so {ar as he is concerned, to be entircly untrammelied in any report which they will make to Congress. He secured an arrangement with Commodore Vanderbilt wheroby, in the absence of having a mail car on the half-past eight evening ex- Press train, which the New York Ceniral could not supply, he can have a messenger, who will take charge of mado up mail pouches from the New York Post OMice, from the East to Albany and Buffalo, delivering ‘them along tho route as may be necessary and taking on others as ho goes along. No assorting will be done on the train, Dut will bo finisned at tho various post offices. Commodoro Vanderbilt said he could not afford to furnish any additional facilities or better service for the amount of money now paid by the Post Office Department for tho transportation of the mails, The Postmaster General states that, with the exception of the fast mail trains and the mail between New York and Washington, no serious interruption has occurred im the despatch of tho mails. Evorything is moving as well as can be expected, but the legislation of Congres ag is experienced in connection with other departments of the government, has been gery faulty also in regard to the Post Office Department; s0 much so that but for it, as an example, Postmaster General Tyner says that in two contracts for carrying the mails if ho had dis- cretionary powers hé could save $22,000 a yeur to the government, ‘ THE COURSE OF THE BABCOCK TRIAL—REASONS FOR HARRINGTON'S FLIGHT—AN E¥FORT FOR HIS APPREHENSION TO BE MADE, The cause of Harrington’s flight is attributed to the fact that criminal proceedings were instituted against him by the United States District Attorney here for baving received a bribe of considerable amount in the murder trial and proseeution of Hope HR Slatter, who killed Hussey at the Schuetzon Park, im this city, moro than a year ago. Slatter was called here smo timo ago in this connec- tion and was placed under obligations of seerecy, as well us nominal bonds, that ho was not to divulge the cause of his having been again arraigned by the Dis- trict Attorney. A great deal of astonishment is manifested because the present Babcock trial, with all its accessories on the side of the prosecution, as well as defonce, seems to bo more for the purposo of bringing Harrington, rather than Babcock and Somorville, to justice, The thing 18 regarded as ridi¢ulous so far as Harrington is concerned, since he cannot be captured. It is even. sald that he would have immunity in the safe burglary if he came /6rward, but he has shrowdly discovered through his friends here that he would at once bo placed in the ji of sudden danger, for, if possible, a worse crime than that now charged—namely, of brib- ery and compounding felony—which thero is believea to be ample evidenco to prove beyond adoubt. How- ever, an apparently sincere effort is avout to be made for the apprehension of Harrington, but his friende hero, who aro among the most influcntial, will en- deavor to checkmate it !f possiblo, INDIANA AROUSED.

CENTENNIAL MUSICAL FESTIVAL FIVTH NIGHT OF THOMAS’ GRAND CONCERTS— AM KVEXING DEVOTED TO SOLOISTS, Panapeurata, Sept, 25, 1876, The Gfth night of the grand Centennial Musical Fes tiva! Introduced additional soloists and a very (ine gramme diversifed in the most complete man Tho soioists wore Miss Anna Drasdij, Mma Schiller Mr. Whitney and Herr Jacobsoho. The Centenntai Chorus, 400 strong, and Thomas’ full orchestra took part in the programme, which opened with the “Fin- gal’s avo” overture by Mendelssohn. Tho clear, practical style of tho great composor, whore mastery of form was only excelled by Mczart, is fully shown 1n this overture, That wonderful tacility he possessed of outwardly expressing as in a mirror all that moved him and the thorough generality of his style 18 expressed fuily in this romance of the Hebrides. The freshness of the themes and the clear, effective manner in which they are set forth is a positive relief to an car attuned of late to vaught but the music of the new schwvol. The orchestra played {t admirably, as if it was a positive plensure to interpret such charming music, But a still more agreeable task awaited them. The allegretto of Beethoven’s eighth symphony, a fairy | tale conveyed in gossamer, measures the iransforma- tion of the Titan into an Ariel, It was played with fon “that seems to be a special rehestra, aud it was redemanded in manner by tho audience that the conductor wax obliged to yield to the demand, Wagner's Centennial inauguration March”? was tho third instrumental work on the bill, and its stirring, brilliant measures rang out with wonted effect.

Mmo, Schiller played Liszt's fantasia on Hangarian acres, the samo work in which Von Balow mado such a furor in Goston Inst winter. It was something bo- yend her reach, although she mado a gallent attempt to manter ite dificuities. In such a work is required a larger degre of physical power than Mme. Schiller possesses. When power was equired wha gave a cer- tain force that coul be called artistic power, In some of the massive chorded passages the wonkness of the wrist and forearm was discernible and the shoulder was brought mto requisition, thereby forcing instead of inducing the tone. Liszt requires for eflec- lve interpretation a very different style than that in which Madame Schiller is pre-eminent, — Mr, Whit- ney sang a fanciful aria by Albert Randegger with that ease apd finish that characterizes such a true artist, Tho Paine Hymn and the trashy Centennial cantatas of Dudley Buck, with the immortal “Haile Chorur,’’ conctuded the fifth night of the festival, morrow evening will bo entirely devoted to Wagner, THE CHEESE MARKET, Aunany, N. ¥, Tho prices at the Little Faux’ cle reached the highest point of this season. tendeney of the market canses many factory hold tots whieh are ready for the market tur The offerings of tnctory elvene aggro Sept. 25, 1876, marks way The upward en to fignres. £80) vores, of Jt bringin; Oe nize. vod 0 which were wold at It ge. m 13e-; the most aise.

The Lyceum Theatro was so crowded last night that it was difficult to get in and impossible to get out. “irofé-Girofia” was the pla: nd Mile, Aiméo was {ho attraction. The lady was in capital voice, and sang and acted with great energy, and was en- thusiastically received, There were two now singers, the tenor, M. Rault, and the baritone, M. Reine. The new tenor has a strong, robust voice, and acts with care and ability, but his voice isnot en- tirely sulted to the réle Tho part is frequently assumed by a woman, and Mile. Mineili is still remembered as Marasquin. The bari- tone character was fincly acted by M. Reine, who has a pleasing voice, with more tone than power, It is a baritone voice in the bud, not in the full blown flower. It is tike Italian opera heard ata little dia- tance, Admirablo performances were given by Site. Kid and M@ Duplan, and next to Aimée we think that M. Duplan mado the bit of the evening. The music of Lecocq resembles opera comique moro than opéra bouffe, He is not Ofenbach, nor can he give that taimitable burlesque of passion, joy and pain for which the laitor composer ts famous” His plot is quite #8 Intricate In this opera ax any of the stories of Offenbach, but the music 1s of a higher mori. Stil the difference is not very great. The Piraio's chorus, the duet which begins the second act, punch bowl! song and several of tbe finales were full ot fun and life, and the rox were ‘numerous. Opéra bouge walks upon the brink of a precipice, and a ‘single misstep would hurl (over the abyss It tampers with the improprieties.

Charies Lamb nf old English comedy that it must not bo judged be tho laws ot modern society, and so these fairy, merry, airy beings ot opéra bouffe, must not be looked upon'as real persons, but rather as GRAND OPERA HOUBE—MES, OATES IN @ oprna, An English version of Lecocq’s amusing and tuneful comic opera, “Girofé-Girofla,” was produced before a fair audience at the Grand Opera House lust ovening. Mrs, Vates appeared to good advantage in the dual réle, singing the familiar, catching airs quite acceptably, and throwing a dagh and coy vivacity into the performance which, though somowhat foreign to the original, wero decidedly mirth provoking. The lady's frisky method and funny antics stirred tho house to the best of humor, and this was ina good measure preserved by the support, which throughont was quite good, As Bolero, the timid tather, Mr. John Howson was very good, and Mr, Gustavus Hall made up well ax Mour- zouk, the Moor, His demeanor, — however, was bardly flerce enough to fender tho part as completely comical as it is eusceptible of being made, Mrs, Chapman as Aurore and Mr, Charles H. Drew as Marasquin acted tuitly. Tho Eng. lish version, however, does not preserve in their com- pletenoxs tho pecaliarly amusing situations of tho original. Much of the euggestive humor of the French islostby the transformation. Still enough 1s pro- served to make Giroflé-Girofla an exceodingly amasing performance, and as it 18 given now atthe Grand Opera House is well worth seeing. The pirates’ chorus might be Improved, it is trae, and Menrzonk might be more earnest and tragic.
