Since it was first edified," the cosy little Cravier street Theatre has been looked to by the admirers oi the drama in our city as a place, where, all others failing, they might be assured of a fitting and reverent tribute to that department of the Arts which, in other days, has been made famous by the genius of a Garrick and the versatility of a Lemaitre the rare tragicisons of a Siddons and the humors of a Liston. These we know have passed away, carrying their own memorable traits with them.

But we may not lightly say that the Art, for all that, is dead, since among its representatives of this day we find those who would not have been deemed unworthy of brotherhood with the great names we have mentioned. The "Varieties" has been foremost in tbe past, in introducing to our people some of the bright est dramatic lights of the age. In all that constitutes a respect for the higher functions of the Drama, it is but echoing the common voice to say that this Theatre, under its present Management, has deserved the good opinion of our citizens. This is precisely what a Theatrical Management is bound to do. To fall short of this is worse than not to roll the heavy curtain up, expose the stage-mystery, or bring out the stage-lights blue, red and green at alL Since the dust began to fall heavily upon the idle prooves of the "Varieties" Manager Floyd has been unremitting in his efforts to meet the highest wishes of its patrons.

He has run through the great theatrical centres in New Tork, Philadelphia and Boston, and he has gathered much useful matter in the way of new pieces (with exclusive right to them) and of capable actors, both "stock" and "star." We will vary Enffon's habit of analyzing the wonders of nature, and begin witti the mass. It is the stock company after all tbe nndistinguishable mass in small letters on the bills that are the main source of diamatic enjoyment to the of a theatre. Be furs we note the names of those already engage for the coming season, we will say that tbe Varieties Management intend to cast the pieces with more than usual care, and to give them adequate scenery, costumes and properties. An unsparing hand will be thrown on all King's Bobes and discolored "lapis lazubi liveries," and what not, (although, truth to say, the "Varieties" has generally had a clear count on this score.) Alpine Chalets and tower-battlements ladie's houdnirt and gentlemen's smoking-rooms; mountain scenery and archery grounds, will be touched np and nothing will be left nndotie tbat mav make what Thomas Carlyle would call a pleasant out-look for the spectator's eyo. Within a theatre walls, by the way, nothing is better than this imitation of that which mee one on a tour abroad or in one's own houses and on one's own streets.

The leading man must lead the list we propose giving to our readers. This part will ba filled by Mr. Charles Pope. Mr. Pope is not a stranger to onr play-goers.

He is associated with some of their pleasantest recollections. To support Mr. Pope, as leading lady," wa will have Mrs. J. H.

Allen. Mrs. Allen comes accredited to us as a "Northern Star," wit'a brilliant talents and a pleasant style. From a accounts, no better selection could have made. In order to give all effect to the abilities of tbe lady, tbe Management has secured th i services of Miss Alice Placide.

She will play such second parts as Em- tia to Mrs. Allen' Ierdnntna the Que nto CjAlia, ilrt. ifilbncy to JUrt. Hernhold. Next on the list we find Mr.

and Mrs. Gomer- sal. These promise to be a real acquisition. The lady is a singing soubrette and burlesque actress. She has a sparkling voice and manner is young and pretty, and is said by one who knows, to combine the ability of Mrs.

Chan. Howard and Mrs. John Wood. Mr. Gomersal is a "low comedian" of a good s'amp.

He sings a rolicking song, and can dance a "Bergomask dance" with the best of them. Husband and wife have been, for some time past, "starring," They have won good opinions from Boston are now making a hit at Montreal, and will open brief star engagement at the Walnut Street The atre, Ihiladelpma to-morrow, from all ac counts Manager Floyd has had rare chatce in securing this talented couple. They will be heaitily welcomed. For 1st Old Man we are promised a capital actor. Mr.

John Pyott. Mr. Dyott is a graduate at 'lack's tbe best of all schools and will make u. an admirable roUmius. With him as Second Old Man," comes Mr.

Ferd. Hight like Mr. rtyctt, an excellent dialect and character- actor. These gentlemen are pronounced to be of tbat class dubbed Sterling "whose ranks by the way, are not so well filled as they have been. Mrs.

Mary Carr, now of Boston and formerly of tbe Winter Garden," with excellent reputation, will be "lt Old Woman." Jfamn-ia Mr'n Ue, Mrs. "7n-ii," Mit. WiBoghby, and tbeir tribe, will be in good hands. These are some of the leading parties engaged for the next Varieties season. Most of thtui are ne to our city.

They will come to us, how ever, with that best of theatrical recommendations the regrets of those whom they will leave. By the way, we forgot to mention that the 1st heavy man" will be Mr. as. F. Hagan.

Mr. Hagin is one of tbe first favorites of lS'lT-fifl. Our play-goers like him vastly, and they will be pleased to learn that the heavy busine-ss" is to be in his bands. None better in the country, we fancy. From the mas.

Tie most disgraceful trial in the history of iuriFpiudenee was concluded to-day, fitly in blnt-ier, ri tone demonstrations of the people, and altercation between the presiding Judge and tbe attorney for the defendant. The feeling is very bitter to-night.

The parties are al out equally divided. Judge Fisher dismissed from practice Attorney Bradley, who afterwards challenged tbe Judge. The me mbers of the bar WiH meet on Monday to tip rets their disapprobation of the Judge's action, which is claimed to be without authority of law. Attorney Bradley is threatened with prosecution for challenging the Judge. Penalty, fine and imprisonment for three years.

most respectfully state that, they stand precisely now as when they first balloted upon entering the room nearly equally divided and they are firmlv convinced that they ear-not poes bly make a verdict. We deem it our dutv to the Court, to the country, and, in view of the condition of our private affairs, and the sitnation of our families, and in view of the fact that the health of several cf our number is becoming seriously impaired under the protracted confinement, n-ske this statement, and to ask your Honor to dismiss us at once. Most respectfully submitted. Bradley said the prisoner did not consent. If there was any discharge, it would be against the protfe of tbe prisoner.

Carrington said he would leave the whole mat-terwitb tbe cnurt. isber sa! be had already received two notes of a similar teuor to the one read. If there was any possibility cf tbe jury agreeing he would not object to keeping them for a reat-onable time, but as he was informed they could nil possibly acree. he would discharge them. The jury wis accordingly discharged at ten minutes part 1 o'chick.

August 10. Movements are afoot to indict Bradley for sending Judge Fisher a challenge, but it appears Bradlev simply accepted Fisher's vertial challenge offert'l during tbe difficultv which led to Bradley being strick en fr the rolls.

117. I thank yon for your manly announcement in thi morning's I 'rr'ald in tbe article heailed The N'ew Crisis." Your views in tbat article are so wholesome that I cannot leave the city this morning, being transiently here, without expressing my eratitnde. I assure you. sir. that the present attempt of partT leaders to seenre political poaer bv making the Southern itat CfCTo States is nrnet alarming, and the fieoi le of the North mut not allow its if they value their own freedom and prosperity.

If the' people stop to think thev will spurn S'ich an attempt with indignation. Nothing bnt false issues can pi -ssibly a such a ruinous rroieer to succeet'. To cheat the people the advoeatH of this nefarious acheme will keep before them the tilea of marttrdom and all that sort tbing. Vtit the true issue should be ever present to our minds, and martyrs rewarded at htv ejpense than the overthrow of onr institn-t Sow. sir.

I have done mv humble part in tbe la'e war for the I'nion. Two of mv sons (alien umler the Tnion flag, and my part bus een in contributions, and not in tbe reception of a penny's profit dnring the strife but wished arything but a restored I'nK'n.

If tbe people cf tbe South are not to be restored to the Vnirra then tbe old Copperhead cry that tiie Cnion fnild not 1 reftoied by arms, is verified.

The xl a that the South must be Africanized before its States are allowed to return, is an admisaion thaf the war has been a wicked failure, and has been waped tor the destruction of the Tlepnbhe. It is not a debateable question. We did cot send our sons to die for the erection of negro State the South. 1 appeal to the great Tt'ieeee of the Norn who generouelv ponred out their blood and treasure in the conflict if this was their object. Mr.

Editor, vou have hit a tender chord in yoor remarks this morning, an i will. I know, awaken tbe sleeping sense of the rot le in this crisis. I have purchased a plat-iation in Alabama, and contemplate removal tbtre and on rtconragJiie others in the Kortb. to llodern Stage. Before we put down our pen, we should add that the Black Crook party from Niblo's, over forty in numl er, will bring before the patrons of the "Varieties" all those wonders of artistic grace which have kept Old and Young New York crowding and pushing night after night at the duors of Niblo's.

This troupe, by the way, is not of the class of peripatetic Black Crooks who have been wandering about the country while the original party were playing on the self-same stage on which they had first appeared after their arrival trom Ovtrt-Uer. It is doubtful when the Black Crooks will leave Niblo's. Gotham clings to them strangely. Geitham is almost, as yet, in the first glamour of its infatuation and Manager Wheat- ley still finds difficulty in assorting his evening's receipts. But when they do le-ave, they transfer their strong men, lovely Houris, daz zling paraphernalia, choice scenery, marvelous metamorphoses ptvtpiam Xasone, and veteran graces to the stage of the "Varieties." Wherewith, we leave the subject.

SKW BOAT llf TIIE TRADE. RED BITER The Eaaa Ka. The steamboat interest is about to receive a new addition the steamer Emma No. 2 which, if nothing happens, win shortly be placed in the Bed liiver trade. To navigate Red River all the year round requires a boat of the centipede construction, tbat is, one that will turn at either end, one that can squirm around a bend, double point and get its back up.

The Emma is a stern-wheeler of a lively build. Not much water is Deeded for her locomotion she runs wherever it ia damp. She draws light but 23 inches of water. Like a newly snuffed candla she is well trimmed. A couple of the best fellows in the steamboat service are at the service of the Red River traveler, Florance Findren and Tom Stewart, to-wit.

The first named has been in the steamboat line for many years, knows his busi ness and minds his cues, can check freight or deposit it as well as dot and carry one, escort ladies to the table, and see after their baggage aloot as well as any clerk on the river, and there are some who say he can do it better. Tom Stewart is like the minister's wife, not famous in personal advantages, but he's so good." The Emma has three boilers, and the steam which from them works in two 17-inch cylinders, with a stroke of five feet. By these things one can have an idea of the vital working capacity of the vessel. If the Red River people see a handsome steamboat some time next week, making her way up the bend-ings of that stream, with a big letter on the braces cf the chimnevs, they may "know by these presents that it is the Emma No. 2.

The breadth of the steamer is 54 fee', and her length is fully 190. She is in good order from kelson to the pilots' cabin, from stem to stern, and is beautiful to behold on the hulL" Yesterday she was set afloat, and made the landing em this side, escorted by the National, and it will not be long after this article is read before she wul be on her travels to the land of Shreve-port, the Bluff City, as thoee in love with this town can it. The cabin is full of pretty pictures one could not escape a notice of the landscape that is painted on the panel of each stateroom, on the pantry and other places where the kitchen fixings are stowed away. Every door that has a panel has a picture npon it, and some of the views are very nice. A good carpet is on the floor, chandeleirs hang from the fretted roof," and in point of fact, the whole is got un regardless of expense, and with a due and kind regard to comfort and convenience.

One of the pictures on the panels represented the Tower Bock," another, a scene on "Fausse Riviere," another still a Farm House on the Little Kiver," rendered famous by the Banks' expedition and other acetes are quite familiar to those who know anything about it. The cabin is about is snug a place as one would wish to be in. Long galleries extend from front to rear, with no wheel house in the wav. The boat, when ready for it, will be ironized by Daniel Edwards, worker of iron for steamboats, and in ftct will be thoroughly fixed up ontside. Formerly the Emma No.

2 plied in the New Orleans, Vicksburg, ar Yazoo river trade, and carried the mails. Built at New Albany, she is yet a yonng steamer, and under the management of Dick Sinnott she is made, according to tbe judges, younger than ever. In the docks nf the Good Intent Company, at Algiers, she has been almost entirely renewed. Dick Sinnott, as his friends will insist on calling the worthy Captain of this craft, intends that as soon as she flouts, she will take her position among the best in tbe Bed River fine. The Emma has a capacity of 3d" tons, and is what people call light nautical people are re ferred to.

She possesses all the advantages that belong to a stemwheel boat, full length of a cabin, not shaken by sidewlie-els, plenty of room to store freight before the engine, and five feet of hold if the latter is not always one of the advantages of a it cnght to be. Like a race horse, every steamer must of good bottom before she is pronounced a rrrer-worthy craft. The underwriters have made an examination of the bottom of this craft as it lay exposed to view, and pronounced it good. But to be perfectly satisfied with the Emma one must go atoard. Yesterday she lay in the Good Intent Dry Dock, high and flry, as if the were at the Alexandrian bluff at low water.

The gentleman who runs the dock is known inly by the name of Mr. Julius. Mr. Julius is to be a competent mechanic, and iltbongh a ship carpenter can repair a steam boat, cailk up tbe hull, and make every tliin all taut to Jbe best possible advantage. A cf the boat, a she lay propped up and supported timbers, a good for sore eves to the rjautica'ly disposed.

The Emma is a good boat, and Capv Dick Sinaott, her mander, is as gooa a as ever stood a wbeelhouee and cried "b'op her." thas. T. Nash will sell at 11 o'clock A. at salesroom, corner St. Ctorles and Per dido streets, furniture and sundries.

These councils and those of a certain high official who joined the prevailed, and the Preside nt gave up his purpose for tbe time being. rri in that time enwaret, tne intercourse be tween the Fresid nt ani the Secretary of War, thotigh respectful, has not been as cor lial nor so con tn lential as t-noultl di toe relations re- tween the Executive and uieuiler of bis cabi net.

No resronse came from Mr. Stanton, and yesterday the President sent him a note, as mentioned in last night's elii-patches, stating substantially, that interests of moment constrain him to inform the Secretary that his resignation as a member of the Cabinet would be accepted." t'apt.

Exchange continued till March, 1SC4, wtien Butler had an interview with Ould, which convinced him tbat the relation would compel the rebels to abandon their refusal to exchange colored soldiers. The Government being informed of these facts, referreel the matter to General Grant, who, in April, directed Butler to descline, until otherwise ordered, all further negotiations, and shortly afterward instructed him to consider the determination of the rebels to mak9 a distinction between the white and colored rtis.
