which was whirling round and roun’ with | its bow in the air, was dragged down, down, down, until I thought my chest would burst, then we were shot out into daylight egain and took some breath. LOST IN THE WHIRLPOOL, “The little master and two of our people were not to be seen, but shortly I saw the little master face upward, but insensible. Tinstantly struck out for him to save him, but we were both taken down again, and the water seemed to be tearing my legs away ; but I would not givein. Iheld my breath hard then, and I came tothe surface, but the little master was gone forever! This is my story, master.” The boat’s crew, Beparately examined by me, indorsed Uledi’s statement in all main points. ‘ULEDI. This is scarcely the place to say much of Uledi, but I cannot refrain from giving this young African, who was the coxswain of the Lady Alice, a meed of praise here. Uledi is a young fellow twenty-seven or twenty- tight years old, lithe and active as a leopard and brave as a lion. He is one of a hun- dred thousand. Idoubt whether there is another in the island of Zanzibar equal to him, There are few in this expedition who are not indebted to him for life or timely rescue or brave service. He was the first in war and the most modest in peace. He was the best soldier, the best swimmer, the best carrier, the best sailor, the best workman in wood or iron, and the most faithful of the black faithfuls. He was certainly the last man in the world who should have been dared into doing a desperate act, such as shooting a cataract. But Frank was too brave also, and hada strange contempt for the terrors of a river, having been a Medway waterman from his boyhood. It is first to sheer rashness, and second to his acciden- tally striking his head against the canoe as he endeavored to rise to the surface, that I attributed the loss of such an expert swim- mer a8 Frank Pocock. IN MEMORIAM, As TI look at his empty tent this evening and at his dejected servants, and recall to mind his ‘many inestimable qualities, his éx- traordinary gentleness, his patient temper, his industry, his cheerfulness and tender love of me, I feel myself utterly unable to express my feelings. or describe the vast- ness of my loss. Every instance of his faith- ful services that is recalled only intensifies my grief. The long copartnership in perils thus abruptly severed, his piety and cheer- ful trust ina gracious Providence, fills my heart with misery to think that he has de- parted this life so suddenly and unrewarded for his many manly virtues, HENRY M. STANLEY. COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES, CRITICISM ON AND CORRECTION OF THE RE- CENT STATEMENT OF THE BANKERS’ ASSOCIA- TION OF NEW YORE—FACTS AND FIGURES BY AN EXPERT. Wasutnatox, Nov, 13, 1877.

THEATRE FRANCAIS. Since the departure of the French opera company the Théatre Francais has bad tho fleld to itsel!, and the size of its audiences has improved accordingly. Laat evening two comedies were presented (it seeins to be tle aim of the management to give a tull Dill), the first, “Lea Venu av Camelia,” in one act, a very fauny piece, in which M. Martal and M. dames Ch, Leblanc and Mazée took part, The sec- ond comedy, “Me Foot Toujours Vire’’ (the title tetls the story, ‘Husbands Always Make One Laugh’’), was capitally played by MM.Chamonin, Vernal, Bou- teloup, Martal and Amand, and Mesdames M. Leblanc Yeage and Leon Mazce, Chamonin, whois one of the best character actors to be seen in this city, Was excellent, and Marta: was very amusing ip a very amusing ré/e. Veniot, too, was live- Mer than usual, and the heartiest iaugoter followed the Play from beginning to end, Oscar, the young man who said that “husbands always mako me laugh,” found the case true when he joined tne brotherbood, Tbe dressing was brighter than usual lust evening, and everything tended to make tho per- formance enjoyable one, When Chamonin aud Martal are on the bill something good may be relied upon, THE THEATRE COMIQUE, Among the various variety exhibitions now on the New York stage there are few which are more attractive than those presented at the above pleasant Place of entertainment Harrigan & Hart, the pro- prietors and managers, not only gi their own amusing perforniances, but introduce art who keep an wadience alive with fun, Songs and dances, sketches of Ethiopian Iife, ventriloquism, burlesque imitations and music, all of which combine to mako the pretty Little theatre one of the most agreeable places for go evening visit, NIBLO'S GARDB! A large audience witnessed the performanco at Niblo’s Garden last night of the “‘Drunkard’s Home,”’ in which Mr. W. J. Fleming porsonated the title rdle with a power which is peculiarly his own. The cast selected for a support was strong and the play ran smoothly from beginning to end. Tho lesson interpreted is one that should commend itself to our temperance societies. There are few lec- tures that cen take {ts place. Pathos, humor and af- fecting tableaux as represented ip stage uction made a story that could not be so well illustrated elsewhere save m nature. Our dives, tenement houses and police courts only afford a parallel, THE OLYMPIC THEATRE, 3 ‘The week opens at this place of entertainment with what ia desoribed asa ‘challenge programme.” Gus Williams, with big Datch eccentricities; Bobby New- comb, who is also funny; dance artists, gymnasts, vocal soloists, Ethiopian sketches and other attrac. tions help to make the Kob-i-noor otf amusement that seoms to draw full houses. TONY PASTOR'S THEATRE. At this always popular place of entertainment the programme for the present week is one of unusual excellence to those who enjoy the variety species of entertamment. Tho selections are unusually rich, rare and racy, the performers are well up in their work, tho transitions of interest the curtain never 0 down d of the performance, and the periorm- ance itself is one that may be witnessed without a biush on the face of the most modest of women, It is described in the bi ‘the bome of comedy,” and the management are certainly not lacking in their en- deavor to afford to the public the utmost pleasure,’ BRYANT'S MINSTRELS, An entire change has been maae in the programme of the performances at this favorite opera house, and the visitors for the week are likely to wit- ness many new features, Chief among these is a sketch entitled “A Trip to Europe,”’ tn which appear Dougherty, Reed, Coot Waite, Bryant and other comedians of the company, Litue Mac, in his ‘Essence of Old Virginia,” Arthu Bent, with his cornet solos, a burlesque entitled “The iau,” and a score of osher good things, nouncement attractive the promise SAN FRANCISCO MINSTRELS, The crowded houses which are seen overy evening at the San Francisco Minstrels prove that there is nothing so successful as success, and if to keep an audience in a constant roar of laughter is an indica- tion of morit, in this case success is not undeserved, ‘The names Birch and Backus have come to be house- hold words in. tho~ family ef overy lovor ‘of negro minstrelsy, and their very montion re- calls @ world ot funny. words and deeds, Last night the audience at this cozey little theatre were treated toa number of laughable sights and pleasant sounds.

Mrs. G, L, Fox, the widow of ‘‘Hampty Dumpty,” is annoauced for an early appearance at Tony Pastor's Thoatro, San Francisco mapagers complain that they aro not doing well, and yet the tendency of sevoral of our bright Now York artists is toward the Pacific slope. Mr. 8. B. Whitely will givo another of bis popular organ concerta this afternoon at Chickering Hall. A pleasant place for thoso whu are musically inclined to spend a cou The criticism is aptly made that a lack of thorough- Dess is one of tho national characteristics in our mu- sical institutione, We send too many pupils abroad who might, andor proper influences, be kept at home, The English Comedietta Company will appear this evening at the French Theatre and again on Friday, he 16th, and Monday, the 19th inst., in the play entitled “The Comical Countess aad Delicate Ground.” To-morrow evening Handel's oratorio “Judas Mac- cabeus” will be given at Steinway Hall, by the Ora- torio Society of New York, under the leadership of Dr. Leopold.

Miss Marie Padrova is one of the new aspirants for the honors of the histrionie stage, and is quoted by some of our exchanges a8 possessing marked dramatic ability, which she has especially cxemplifcd in “Romeo and Juliet,”’ Mr. H. L.

Miss Emma Thursby has been engaged by Mr. C.

The latter half of the woek hue will devote to “Ben MeCatlough,” a drama of Western life. Tho Brookiyn Schubert Club will give the first ot their Weanesday evening Classicals on November 21, at (ne Athenwum, corner of Clinton and Atlantic streets, Brooklyn, The quintette embraces Mr. Bern- hard Molienbauer, first violinist; Mr. Emil Gramm, second violiniet; Richard Mollenbauer, viola; Heary Mollenbauer, violoncello, and Miss Ida Mollenhauer, pianist.

I only trust that you have been as much sat- isflod with the engagement as I have been, and I hope that Colonel Sinn will have as full houses and as ap- preciative audiences hereatter asi have had. I have much to do elsewhere, though it is just possible that I may trouble you again during tho course of the season,’ BILLIARDS. EIGHTH GAME FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT TAMMANY HALL, BETWEEN WILLIAM SEXTON AND CYRILLE DION—THE FORMER THE WINNER, The eighth billiard contest for the Delaney gold medal, the championship of America and $1,000, oc- curred last night at Tammany Hall between William Sexton, the present champion, and Oyrille Dion, The place was well arranged for such an af. tal The 5x10 table, with patent wire cushions, stood in the centre of the great hall under brilliant gas Jots, and the chairs for the audience stood in rows one above the other on platforms on each of the four sides of the table, There was ample space for the players, umpires, markor and press between the players and the ‘ront rows of the spectators, It is certainly true that no billiard match was ever witnessed in this city by so select an audience as that which assembied in Tammany Hull last night On the stage, which wus tastefully draped with the ovational colors, sat some dozens of ladies in olegant costumes, and through the audience, especially in the front rows, were mavy more; not evon in the gallery, whichewas packed, was there a poorly dressed person.

It is saleto assume from their presence and that of so many ladiés that billiards are understood and liked by a large class of tho gentior sex. The decorum of guch an assemblage was all that might have beco expected of such people. Applause, 1+ was observed, wus bestowed intelligently in li-bred manber, and although clapping of hands was loud and fre- quent, thera Dever was tamp of the foot or an clamation beard, At were, nearly all occupi lobbies filled up alter th From this it will be geen that the game Was a longono, Six hundred points were played aod half of them were not scored betore halt-past ten o’ciock.

The battle wus they uadecived, but before a revewal of hostilities cou.d be arranged Price bad bimseif arrested and the stukes were awarded to Allen. In the Bristol district in March, 1807, he was pitted agaiust Joe Goss ior £100 a side, and the struggle ended 1n a draw. He almost immedi- ately afterward emigrated Lo America, where bis career was a checkered one. Theatrical starring had more attractions {or our hero thau the “twenty-four foot ring,’? and it was wot till 1809 that he was induced to put bis hands op His opponent wus a man Damed Duvis, and the result was a victory to Alien, He afterward met Gullagher, by wuom he was licked in Something ike three minutes. ‘rhe pair agaio met, and the gigantic Mike SicCooie alge tried conclusions. Tom isan exceedingly well-built athlete, und 18 pos- Laer more than ap average share of svience, His weight being only about eleven stove pro- veuted him in the heyday of his youth almiug at the highest hoaors of the ring, and second class men cared about tackling him, Of Guibert noth- ing Whatever is Known, He has never betore made public appearance, altndugh we believe he had earne1 @ sort of reputation in rouzh turns-up in his own dis- trict, Ln uppearauce be formed a striking coutrast to bis rival, Although only five teetseven and a half inche: height he weighs over twelvi musculariy nor truly built, couple faced each other in the ring Allen, although als an iueh oF 80 taller, seemed tairiy to tower over 10.

The next round was brisk, but brief; they worked away in close company till they were carried to their corners before they bad been fighting ony minute, In the third round Allen made tree use of his lett and Ume after time reached his mark without ever being ftopped. ‘The fvarth round was all in favor of ‘tom, who could clearly do as he liked with bis map, on whom the repeu'ed frontal visitations and the fast fighting were rapidly having their effect, With an upper cut from the right he was knocked completely off bis legs, and tue round, of course, was n end, ‘The tilt round, after a.iow railies, was inated by the Lincoln tnan getting down on his knees, ond in the sixth Allen still scored every point, the other going in lor bouy biows when he found he could not reach his opponent’s face. ‘The seventb and last rouud was & merry one, Allen was slightly out of wiud, but scatheless, while wilbert’s fuce showed crimson streaks in more than ove piace. They quickly got to close quarters, when the country- man was seen to bit his man more thun once below the belt, a proceeding which evidently riiod Mister ‘thomas, who ia turn went to work with a will, and planted one or two blows that made Gilbert wince and reel all over the ring. Ho again took to untuir fignting, ana Allen, throwing bim away Jrom himself, janded him all his length on the floor and tell beside him. As wrestling was forbidden @ claim of toul was made by Dillon and Terry, but the referee wisely ordered the men to fighton., Gilbert, however, bad enough of tt, and neither argument nor perguasion would get bim to again faco him who had administered go severe chasiisement io the last round, There was nothing left, therefore, but to pro- claim Alien the victor, und with the playing of ‘God Save the Queen” by the band tne affuir was at an end, Fow rewarks are required iu convection with this fight, if fight 1 can be called. However Tomkins could have been persuaded to enter the roped arena ut all, 1ar legs to face a mun like Allen, passes our com- prebension, Physioully he ts nothing to look at, and in potot of science novbing can be said in bis favor. Whatever occupation he foliows in Lincoln ho ougut at once to return to it and pot again tempt fortuce inside the ring. He has had bis experience, and lesus hope will profit by it, Allen seemed by con- tragi to Dght splendidly, although now aud again it was evident that much of the elusticitty of bis youth had departed. He was apparently aware that bis task would be an easy one, und did not worry bim- self avout it, His conuiion was none of the best, aud had he been hardly pressed he would hav. able to do well Justi ‘bo battle last alto. getner 16m, nd was not fought in accordance with either th enabury or the old rules.

Two of tho chiefs, White Kagle and Standing Buffalo, addressed the Secrotary, their remarks not differing vory mate- rially from the speeches delivered at the recent coun- cls held at the Executive Mansion, They earnestly in- sisted on being allowed to go back to their old reser. vation, saying they could fad no reason for their re moval and asserting that their present location was an uppealthy one, The ludians seemed yery serious in their appeals. Standing Buffalo particularly exhibited the alsappointment he felt at not being sont back to his old reservation, Ho did not wish to trouble the whites, but be remembered what the Great Father had told him to-day. He also said be talked like a foolish Indian, and wild Indians perbaps knew better than ho did, Standiog Buflalo deciared that he thought it very bard thatthe Great Father did not take him out of the bole he was in, SPEECH OF SECRETARY scHURZ Secretary Schurz made uspeech to the chiefs, saying he could only repeat what wus said to them @ tow days ago and, speaking to them in the President’s name, he told them that It wa: known they were trends of the wuite people and, therefore, the government was friend. The Secretary continued ;— ‘ou shall have no reason to say that we treat In. dians Who are our eoemies better than Indians who are our friends) We know you have always tollowea the advice of your Great Futher, and he hopes you will follow \t now, for it 1s good.

It shall be good Jang, with plenty of timber. When you have solected those lands the Great Fathor will sec that you bave houses, agricultural implements and furni- niture equally as much as you left ou tho reserva. tion. ‘The Secretary also informed the Indians that when the Great Counc! appropriated the money their Grent Father would give (hom castle aud drvugbt animais to cultivate farms. He bid them be of good cheer and to seud out their chiefs and select their lands at aseurl: a day as possible and then to yo to work at once wit courage anaenergy. ‘We suall see that you have schools in which your children shali be edacated,” he said, and concluded :— “Work will mal you will soon jorget the country you hav you have been vut friends xo will we be yours.

SCENE OF THE MURDERS. The Mother Refuses to Go to the Hospital. , The tenement house in Chrystie street where the Hausmann tragedy was enacted on Monday evening Wasan object of curious interest to visitors yesterday, and passers-by oven stopped in the street to look at it as if tho terrible deed which took place within its walls had made it more doserving of atteution, Iti a plain, but substantial looking structure, built o} brick and four stories in height, aod though the noigh- borhood is squalid enough it presents no ap. pearance of squalor on the ouside Within a different scene is presented. A long, narrow hallway runs the entire levgth of the building on the first floor, and in the centre of this hallway a stair leads to the top of the house, It is Marrow and steep, the architect having evidently been very economical of space. As a matter of course it is very dark and very dirty, the landings being in- nocept for mavy years either of oilcloth or water, Each landing is remarkable only for a series of doors, eightin number, four at eithor end. Two of thest doors lead into each of the suits of apartments os the different floors, the house accommodating as many as twenty families. Each suit comprises \hree rooms, and that occupied by the Hausmann family is on the third floor, in the rear, THK SCENE OF TUR TRAGEDY, Climbing up this dark aod narrow stairway a Here ALD reporter yesterday visited the scene ot the tragedy of the day before.

Upon a fati consideration of tho circumstances under which vur people will take purt in the proposed exhivition at Paris | am satisfied that a more liberal amount will now be required than was expended for the Vienna Expositivg.
