The Rothschilds to Assist Russia’s Ambitious Designs. AN AMERICAN SCANDAL. 4 Young Massachusetts Traveller Uses a Friend's Letter of Credit. ————— [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD. ] Lonpon, Nov. 18, 1876, The rumor of an unconditional surrender of Tur- tey to the terms of the Conference reaches London by way of Rome, but the report finds no credence Yere to-night. The opinion is very general among ‘he clubs of Pall Mall that it now makes very little Mifference whether Turkey declines to be a party to the Conference or accedes to the conditions im- posed upon her. The hour for considering her wishes and consulting her pleasure has passed. Left to herself rather more or late than »\ during the previous year, Turkey has succeeded in estranging every one of her sympathizers, even in the Tory ranks. The ntegrity of the Ottoman Empire has ceased to be a theme of conversation. The only care of England séw is to preserve Constantinople from Russian hands. No plans are cogitating for a defence of the Balkans; no strategic move whereby British soldiers can be hurled into the Crimea or death, finds place in the cleverest officers’ heads. England contemplates no Argonautic dream whereby an impetuous Jason shall lead her troops to victory on that pemmsula washed by the Putrid Sea. The Crimean war was a romance from the glamour of which half of England's people have not awakened, It was the first crusade of the hine- teenth century. Twenty years, however, have de- Mroyed the romantic in war, and the England of to- Bay and Disraeli prefers the security of the Golden Eorn to the possible acquisition of a golden fleece. AN IMPREGNABLE POSITION. A Russian siege of Constantinople is a physical Impossibility. A small force of English soldiers, co- operating with Turkish troops, properly oficered, ean hold it against all Rac@m. Tier advance upon the Turkish capital by way of the European approaches is not possible, Tho only way in which Russia cun hope toim any way obtain control of the Bosphorus is by an advance through Asia Minor, This ‘s her most feasible route. Already she bas moro than 100,000 troops at Teflis, in Georgia, Thence the route would be to Gumi, on the extreme southern border of the Russian possessions, Thence, entering Asiatic Turkey by forced marches, the army would strike tor the Black Sea coast at Trebizond, and, from that point, follew the shore road to the Bosphorus, only leaving it far cnough to pass southward of Sinope, which ono iron-clad could have previously do- Mroyed. The army would be = provis- loned from the flect and a line of retreat could be kept open. Once lodged on the Bos- phorus, this great water way would be tho property of the possesgors of the heaviest guns and the most approved torpedo system, The diMfcultics of this route for a Russian advance on Constantinople aro pmall compared with those to be encountered tn climb- Ing the bills and wading tho morqssos in Eastern Turkey. THE DANUBE, OR DEATH. Turning to the scene of all this struggle and the city of the Czar’s ambition, we seo Turkey in a desperate strait. A special to-night from the Hxratp’s corre- spondent in Vienna, forwarded to that point froma member of the HxraLp corps in Constantinople, declares that the Porte has now abandoned the project ofsending troops to Roumania to provent the march of the Russians, but that Turkey will await the attack on the fouthern bank of the Danube. If Russia could be content with the provinces on the northward she could take them to-morrow without firing a gan or exchang- ing a word with anybody except Austria, Therein lies another hitch in this tanglo of interests, If Russia were to seize Roumania, Austria would want so much of the territory that Russia would not have enough left to make a province. Therefore if Russia is bent on European extension she must get enough to divide; and if she moves at all, must carve her way south- ward of the Danube with tne sword. ROUMANIA PLEADS FOR NEUTRALITY, The Roumanians are not altogether content witn this state of things, as a special despatch from tho Heraxn’s correspondent in Berlin shows, Your agent states that a Commissioner from the Roumanian gov- ernment arrived in the German capital oa Friday, and that others have already reached Vienna and Paris to plead for a protection of their neutrality, The efforts of the Roumanian Envoy at the Berlin Coart, although bo bears the most prayerful appeals from Princo Charles, have been in vain. There is every reason for delieving that a d ir will oe turned to the entronty in Parise, Austria 1s Roum: only hope and the hungry wolf tsa very poor friend for the frightened lamb to seek. Roumania’s (avo is scaled in any event, RUSSIA SECURES THR MONEY. af Russia still means peace it is certain that no gov- ernment ever took such peculiar methods of showing her pacific intentions, In pursuance of the partial mobilization of the Russian army, preparations aro pow making for the formation of a sanitary corps Movable hospitals are aiso being got ready. Commit- tees of ladies have been formed on the model of ihose which worked with so much success during the Fran- co-German war for the private nursing of the wounded. The Empress of Rassia and the Grand Duchess, it is statod, have assumed the patronage of thes@ associations. It is improbable that General Tehernayeff will retain command of the Servian army tm the event of Russia being driven to action, as his whole conduct in Servia bas not givon satisiaction in oMeial quarters in St. Petersburg. The Cologne Gasette’s Paris correspondent says;—'‘A principal ob- staclo to Russia engaging in war scems to have been romoved, The Rothschilds arc sald to have promised NEW YUKK HEKALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1876.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. to advance Russia money. The loan will not be mado publicly, Russia's conditions are said on 'Change to be so favorable that the Rothschilds can easily dispose of the loan privately.” DENYING A DENIAL, The statement that the Russian Telegraphic Agency had denied that the Czar maae a speech to a body of officers at Tsarskoe-Selo on Wednesday, during which he said, “Let us wish the best success to the com- manaers of our armies,” is incorrect, What the agency did deny was a previous report, circulated on the London Stock Exchange, that the Czar had mado a pacific speech to tne Imperial Guard, To my mind the question 1s, “‘Did the Czar say it?” Two negations do not make an affirmation, TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. Later accounts trom Calcutta say that 120,000 per- sons perished during the cyclove which passed through Eastern Bengal on the 3st of October. The govern- ment ts taking active steps forthe relict of the dis- tressed population of the district. FINANCIAL, Business on the London Stock Exchange has been flat throughout the week in consequence of the warliko Russian despatches and adverse news about a conter- ence, All changes have been ina downward direc- tiop, though none were so heavy as during the war panic last month. Russians are about 5 worse on the week, Hungariavs 3 to 5, Turgish 3, Austrian ond Itahan 2, and French lal. American governments to 34 weaker, Illinois Railway shares have fallen 7, Discounts are slightly harder, though unem- Ployed balances are sttli largo and thore has been no material increase in the demand for accommodations, The weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Ger- many shows an inerease in specie of 4,592,000 marks. The Cunard Line steamer Parthia, which sailed from this port to-day for New York took $750,000 in specie. COMMERCIAT.. Business in the Mincing Lane markets during the week has been steady, with a good demand, but specu- Intion has been restricted to a few articles, Saltpetre has advanced somewhat. Sugar made further upward progress until! Tuesday, when the demand suddenly abated and prices declined oue shiiling to two shillings percwt, Hoiders of raw sugar, however, are not gen- erally selling at the depreciation. In consequence of the statistical position yesterday, low sugars wore again im demand. Good to fine coffee meets ready buyers, A small supply of plantation Ceylon again brought enhanced prices. The Nethorlands Trading Company’s sale next week will be larger than usual, namely, 113,500 bags, but includes a considerable quantity of low grades. Numerous cargoes of rice havo been sold and transactions on the spot have been on a more extensivo scale than of late at daily improv- ing prices, Tea bas been rather quiet, with prices favoring buyers, There has been a slight recovery upon quotations for pepper. ‘THE BRITISH COAL TRADE. ‘ Owing to the depression in tho steamer coal trado more than 1,000 miners aro thrown out of employmont in the Northumberland collieries, FORGERY A LA MODE. AN ESCAPED AMERICAN FORGER REPEATS HIS ART AT A FRIEND'S EXPENSE. [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.] Paris, Nov. 18, 1876, The American colony is shocked. <A young American, passing under the name of Dwight, was arrested this afternoon for forgery. He belongs to a respectable family in Springfield, Mass., and it is saia fied from home not long ago for com- mitting the same offence. The particulars of the crime are learned from the police. ROBBING HIS FRIEND. Dwight was an intimate friend of a young Ameri- can gentleman named Thomas, who was lying very ill at the Grand Hotel. Mr. Thomas asked Dwight, who was visiting him in his room yesterday, to open his trunk and replace in ita letter of credit which he handed him. Dwight received the packet and pre- tended to place it in the trunk, as directed. Instead of so doing, however, he slipped it into his pocket. FORGERY. Excusing fimself soon after, Wwight went to an American banker, to whom he had been previously introduced, and asked him to cash a draft from Thomas, stating that he was too ill to come himself. Mr. Tucker, the banker, replied that he would gladly do so if Thomas signed the draft as usual. Dwight asked the banker to fill up a check for £174, or $923 94 United States currency. This the banker did, and Dwight left with it, professedly to obtain Mr. Thomas’ signature. After being absent a short time he returned with the check signed, presented it and received the money. This morning the for- gery was discoverod, and young Mr. Tucker, in the absence of his father, informed the police, who seemed disinclined to interest themselves in the affair, I learn from another source. A LUCKY CHANCE—FOR THE BANKER. On his way back from the police office Mr. Tucker chanced to meet Dwight on the street, and greet- ing him in a cordial way, as it ignorant of his crime, he induced the young culprit to accompany him to his office. Mr. Tucker then called in the police and secured his arrest. THE WAY IT WAS DONE. ‘The greater part of the money received on the forged check was found upon Dwight’s person. He acknowledged his guilt fully. It appears that Mr. Thomas had had visiting cards engraved with the exact fac simile of his autograph, and that Dwight, possessing one of these, had made an accurate copy. 2 CUBA. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF A LANGE MARKET IN HAVANA. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Havana, Nov, 18, 1876, This morning the market called the Mercado de Colon, which was constructed of iron, was totally de- #troyed by fire.

NO SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE IN THE MOVEMENT OF TROOPS—A STATEMENT BY THE SECRE- TARY OF wan. The Secretary of War says that there ts no truth in the report that soldiers have been ordered to concen- trate at Washington, and that there is no unusual movement of troops. Threo companies coming East- ward from Kansas are being restored to posts on the Atlantic seaboard, from which they were taken to oc- cupy posts on the fronticr which bad been depleted of troops to reinforce Generals Terry and Crook in the campaign against Sitting Bull lost summer. THE THREE THOUSAND VOTES. Secretary Chandler, chairman, and ex-Governor McCormick, secrotary, of the Republican National Executive Committee, say that they do not believe that 3,000 votes are imperilied to the republican party by a mistake in placing only three electors on their ticket in one of the parishes in Louisiana. It ts argued that if this had been the case it would have been discovered in the count already made, “EVERYTHING 18 ALL RIGHT.” Secretary Chandler says that all his advices from Florida and Louisiana warrant the beilef that every- thing is all right for Hayes’ election. He is to-night quite happy and more confident than ever, GETTING READY, Secretary Cameron dined this evening with President Grant, and itis understood tho situation was to be talked over, especiaily such action as may be deemed necessary on tho part of the Seeretary in case of trouble following the eventual determination of the choice for President, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES.

THE HARTYORD NEWSPAPERS DECIDE UPON A GENERAL REDUCTION OF PAY TO COMPOSI- TORS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Hartrorp, Conn., Nov. 18, 1876, The publishers of the loading daily papers of Hart- ford and New Haven have, at a conference hore, de- cided to reduce rates for composition after December 1 from from forty to thirty-five conts per thousand ems on morning and from thirty-five to thirty onoven- ing papers. Corresponding reductions will be mado in the editorial and publishing departments and press rooms. This 1s the second reduction jo within eighteen months, and is rendered unavoidab'e by the depressed condition of business, a majority of the papers tailing to meet expenses, and some of them running behind, The reduction will be general for weekly and other publications, and will probably be extended to include all papers in the State, MKEE RELEASED. PRESIDENT GRANT PARDONS ANOTHER OF THE ST. LOUIS WHISKEY PRISONERS—MR, M'KEE RETURNS TO HIS HOME AND HIS OFFICE— THE FINE REMITTED. [Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Sr. Louis, Nov. 18, 1876, This afternoon, about two o'clock, United States Marshal Lefflngwell reccivod a despatch from Attorney General Taft to the effect that Prosident Grant had signed the pardon of William McKee and authorizing tho Marshal to release the prisoner to-day, The Marshal immediately repaired to the jail where McKee was confined and liberated the prisoner without delay, McKeo was placed in a carriage and driven to his private office in the Globe-Democrat building, of which paper he controlling preprietor. ‘A large number of Iriends were there ready to rece: and congratulate him. His office was filled with visit- ors until late im the afternoon, when the ex-prisoner went to his residence on Wash. ington avenue. He is in splendid physical health, and his confinoment has evidently beon beneticial to him In that respect. Much sympathy has boen expressed for McKee of late, and tne general opinion is that the President has ovly performed an act of justice in restoring him to his liberty, The pardon also remits the tino of $10,000 and costs imposod by the court.

Their names are T Durnan,” the joon,”’ No, ‘where the arrests were made, and Jack J. Smith, an old counterfeiter, connected with the notorious Ben Boyd. These men have beon shadowed since the attempt was mare to despoil the tomb, and the proof of their guilt is said to be abundant. The officers will take the accused to Springfield this evening to await the action of the Grand Jury. NCED TO DEATH. Newark, Nov. 18, 1876.

A MURDERER CONVICTED. Potrsvitie, Pa., Nov. 18, 1876, The jury in the caso of Mahowski, the Pole, who Killed lis wife, have rendered a verdict of murder in the second degree, THE BALLARDVALE DISASTER. Lawagscz, Mass., Nov. 18, 1876. The Coroner’s jury upon the Bullardvale Railroad dieaster flod that W: was responsible for ti AMUSEMENTS. “as YOU LIKE IT” aT THE FIFTH THEATRE. The modern proverb that Shakespeare spells ‘‘ruin’’ does not seem to be justified by the production of “As You Like It’? at tbe Fifth Avenue Theatre last night, for the house was crowded in all the boxes, AVENUE galleries and parquet. The play passed off Preasantly, and the beautilel scevery was warmly applauded. The only objection to the performance was on account of iis length, In Shakespeare’s day, we believe, they used to begin a theatrical entertainment about three o’ciock in the afternoon, and the public had almost as much time at its disposal as Methusaleh, but now threo hours is quite enough for a play which begins at eight in the evening. We would respectfully, suggest the cutting of the play to Mr. Daly. Even “Hamlet” can- not be acted as it was written, and as “As You Like It” lacks action, 1t is proper to condense the dialogue. All that the play needs to make itispell ‘success’ is a httle cowdensation, and that it will, no doubt, obtain, There wore no long waits last nights, but Shakespeare’s charming dialoguo in the printed page 1s sometimes too elaborate when spoken on she stage. ‘The atmosphere of this reproduction of “As You Like It” 1s poetical, When we saw the exquisite forest scenery unfolded, with its bosks and deils and glades, we recalled Byron’s line, “And Ardennes waved above them its greon leaves.’’ But this illusion was slightly marred by the personages who wandered in this most delicious of all the dream lands of poesy. The play was finoly acted, yet it had its deficiencies. In the Rosalind of Miss Fanny Davenport there was no special fault to be censured, but there was no par. ticular merit to bo praisgd. She was piquant, carnest and anxious, but she failed to grasp the fecling of that fair wanderer of the woods— that sweet wooer of her blinded love, Her readings did not express tho wit of Rosalind fully, and her manner did not reveal Rosalind’s pas- sion and delicacy. Tho performance was deficient in poetry, Those who have seen Mrs. Scott-Siddons in this part or those who know the mirth of Miss Neilson understand something of the true man- ner in which Rosalind should be expressed, but, strange as it may seem to many theatre-goers (who do not remember Garrick, as we do), Charlotte Cushman was the most charming of Rosalinds, She may have b old and ugly, but she had the youth and beauty of genius.’ She turned the diamond on every side, and it sparkled hke a _ pertect star, | warm in the frosty night. It is only for hor deficiencies that Miss Davenport needs to be criticised adversely, She did not fall, but sho failed to mse, and it will require further study before she can read the lines of Rosulind with the humor, pathos and inefluble loveliness they express. The tinest performance of the ovening was that of Mr. Charles Coghlan, who played Orlardo for the first time, we understand. It was intelligent and manly, well’ discriminated in tho phases ol pas sion, as in the scene whero Orlando breaks in upon tho rustic feast of the Duke, and justifies the opinion we formed Coghlan when ho first appeared as that he is the best actor the English stage has sent to this country of late. Mr. Charles Fisher was a disappointment as Jaques, and did not seem familiar with the part, as once, in tho do- scription of the “Seven Ages of Man,’? he missed a line, and left the ‘z00d capon’? out of the “fair round belly.” This was a trifling fault, but Mr. Fishor will pardon the odious comparison we make be: twoen his performance and that. of KE. L, Davenport, the best Jaques who ever in our recolicction railed in good nature at the world. Mr. Davidge xave aclever low comody picture of Touchstone, without any especial character, and Adam was honor- ably played by Mr. 'Hardonberg. Mr. Castle gang the music of Amiens charmingly, though his Voico, accustomed to the Academy of Music, 18 not yet adapted to tho size of a theatre, Cella was fairly played by Miss Jeffroys-Lewis. We ad- vise Mis¢ Sidney Cowell to wait many years before she again plays Audrey, for tnodgo she understands tbo character, she {s altogether too pretty t9 do justice io its peculiarities, She must grow olaer betore she can properly thank the gous that she is foul, Altogether ‘As You Like Lt”? was a success{ul reproduction, and after afew moro performances it will, no doubt, be vastly improved. 1¢ was a pleasure and a bappinoss to eo 18, and to feel once more that Shakespeare remains the master and magician of the stage. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Fechter played last weck in Utica, Mr. J. T. Raymond will play Colonel Sellers at tho Brooklyn Theatre this week. Tony Pastor’s company will give an entertaining performance to-morrow evening. The San Francisco Minstrels present a very funny and optortaining programme this woek. The Olympic Theatre bas a fine varicty bill this week. The Japs will continue tholr performances, The Soldeno company appeared last night at the Globo Theatre, Boston, to an immenso audience. Mme. Essipoff repeated her Tuesday night pro- grammo at Steinway Hall matinée yesterday before an immense audience. “Baba,” at Niblo’s, has entered upon a career of success. This is the third month of the spectacle and it # yet running to large houses, “Unclo Tom's Cabin,’ with the inimitable Topsy of Mrs, Howard, and tho realistic plantation scenes re- mains the attraction at the Grand Opera House. Protessor Cromwell begins to-morrow night at the Masonic Temple a series of his illuminated illustrations of the world’s wonders, Tho exhibition ia artistic and novel. r On Tuosday night “Sardanapalus” will be performed forthe one hundredth time az Booth’s Theatre, It must soon make way for ‘King Lear,’’ with Messrs, Laurence Barrett and F. L. Davenport in the cast. Tho prestidigitateur, Caseneuve, will give a pertorm- ance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music to-morrow night. Why should he not, as a perfectly disinterested expert, be sont to count the voto of Louisiana, as tho representative of the aemocratic party? He might astonish the Returning Board with bis calculations, The alterations now going on at Wood’s Musonm, under the direction of Mr. Joon Hanvard, are in rapid progress, The establishment {s to be opened during the holidays as the New Broadway Theatre. Judging from what bas already been acco-nplishod, tho theatre will bo one of the handsomest in town. Mr, Holler will continue his amusing and ingenious exhibitions of legerdematn at his Wonder Theatre this week. Why should be not, as 0 perfectly :mpartial judge, bo sont to New Orloans to supervise the count” of every actuai vote cast, as tho representative of tho republican party? Wo should like to see the result after he bad added up the returns. Mrs, Corinne Young’s opera *O-arita,” ‘elections from which were presented to the public at Chickering Hall in orchestral form last spring, is about to have a hearing in Paris, Elaborate preparations havo been made by Mrs. Young to secure a satisfactory presenta- tion of the choicest numbers of the work to connois- sours and dilettanti of the French capital. On Thanksgiving Day a grand benefit performance will be givon at the Academy of Music in aid of the funde of St. Agnes’ church, East Forty-third strect. A number of the principal artists from Wallack’s, Booth’s, the Union Square ana other theatres and vocalists, well known to Italian opera goers, have consented to take part. A fine and varied programme will te the natural consequence. “Tho Shaagbraun” has ran away with the public, as tho farmer’s bay mare im the pliy did with Conn atthe fox hunt, There is no stop in its career, and it would run indefinitely were it not for tho engngements of Mr. Boucicault in other cities, Mr, Wallack’s second production of this brilliant irlsh play ts in several re- spects even superior to tho first, and Mr, jeault has improved some of the finest scenes, The theatre has been crowded nightly. The wondertul warino morstor, known as ‘the Angler,” continues to attract attention »t the Aqua- rium, It is a remarkable fish, and the tank that con- tains it is constantly besicged by visitors. The tourna. ment of tho crabs is also a leading attraction, and tho grotesquo battles of these pugnacious creatures in armor afford great amusement, The attendance is very large, and tho Aquarium is a pecuniary as well as scientific success, Edwin Booth will appear at the Lyceum Theatro to- morrow evening as Hamlet, and the simple announco, ment will command the interest of Jovers of Shake- speare and the admirers of the distinguished artist, Battin addition to this it should be noted that Mr. McVicker has refitted the theatre, provided new and appropriate scenery and has engaged a new company to support Mr. Booth in his best charactors. Tho opening of the Lyceum under these favorable auspices ig an important event in the dramatic season. Barmum’s Circus, Menagerie and Museum will offera now and brilliant programme this week. The ring performances will be novel and startling; the wild beasts aro expected to roar ina different manner, and the museum will be rearranged, No one should neglect to seo tho club that killed Captain Couk, [ts entirely new andthe workmanship much superiorto any of the former clubs which Mr. Barnum has exhibited, ‘Mr. Charles Fish won tho championship of riding last evening over Mr. Romeo Sebastian, though the latver displayed remarkable courage and skill. “Miss Multon’’ will to-morrow night reintroduce Miss Clara Morris to the Union Squaro Theatre, in a character which is said to give the fullest room for her emotional and dramatic power. The story is much like that of “Kast Lynne,” but the play deals’ with the consequences of the ilight of the heroine, and thus concentrates the attention on the stronger situations— those of the return of the wite to ber home In dis- guise and her position as the goveroness of her children. The cast includes all the leading members of the company, Miss Sarah Jewett, Mrs. Marie Wile kins, Miss Bijou Herou, Miss Louise Sylvestor, Miss Mabel Leonard, and Messrs, James O'Neil, J. Hl. Stod- dart and Jobn Parselle, The scenery will all be new, painted by Mr. Marston, and Messrs. Shook & Palmer expect the drama to be mounted with exceptional splendor. The Thanksgiving musical festival which Mr. James W. Morrissey will give at the Academy of Music next week includes three performances of remarkable va- riety, Theodore Thomas’ full orchestra will periorm Raft’s beautiful symphony of “Romeo and Juliet,” and tho best works of Beethoven, Wagner, Mendelssonn, Bach and Schubert. In addition to this classical music, selections from the operas of ‘William Tell,’’ “Il Trovatore,” “sartha,’’ “Faust,’? “Rigoletto,” & will be rendered by Miss Thursby, Mme. Gulager, Miss Drasdil, and Brignol, Ferrenti and Mr. Charles Fritsch. Brignoli will also sing, tor tho first time in English, the tenor music of *‘The Bohemian Girl,” Mmes. Madehne Schiller and Careno Sauret, and Messrs, Satter and 8. B. Mills are also engaged. Tho pub‘ic will thus havo ample reason for thanksgiving, for {8 is not often that so many various tastes are grat. ified in a musical festival without any sacritice of real art. POLO. The Westchester Polo Club met yesterday afternoon at their grounds, adjoining Jorome Park, and some of the members enjoyed a couple of hours’ practice. Messrs. W. Jay, W. Thorne, Howland Robbins, Her- man Oelrichs, Harry Oelrichs and J, G. Bennett. wero playing. A large party of ladies and gentlemen drove out to the grounds in the coaches ot Messrs, Jay, Whit- ing, Bronson and Bennett, -and some of those not en- gaged at poio amused themselves with lawn tennis. Tho polo players finished about a quarter past four, and shortly afterward the party returned to New York. MIDNIGHT WEATHER REPORT. Wan Derantwest, Orrick o THE Citixe SIGNAL OFFICER, Wasuixarox, D.
