Mr. rechber's theatre nu re-opted on Saturday night with a new drama by Mr. Baseball% called The Long Strike, in which the author and Mrs. Bourimult per two of the principal characters. If Mr. Ireohter's present object is to give his patrons an entire change of dramatis diet, we must candidly own that he has com pletely snooseded. This entertainment ia no longer an adaptation from cos or other of the French imitators of Alexandre Dumas, bat a car, homely sketch of Manchester life, with a heroine dressed in • cotton gown, and • hero wain; shout in oorderoy and fustian. There is no simpering "incidental ballet" lugged in by the neck and heels, no ruffles, silk velvet, love heroics, rapiers, and under round caverns. The villain of the piece, if it has a villain, is nothing more picturesque than an ordinary policeman in uniform, with • truncheon, • bull's.eye lantern, and an authoritative "move on." The principal scene is not • ravine, a waterfall, • mountain, or • forest, but a Lansambire lane, with smoking mills and • railway viaduct in the distance, or • telegraph office complete in every mechanical detaiL Out of these somewhat commonplace materials Mr. AMERICA.

The Evening Post (evening edition of the official Vienna Gazette) alludes in the following terms to this event : " Baron Weather's honourable cha racter and conciliatory disposition, under the moat difficult circumstances, render his return a source of satisfaction." The conferences upon the question of the Vene tian debt have been adjourned untanext week. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. FLORENCE, Sam 15. The Florence journals state that Prussia has declared that the difficulties opposed by Austria to the settlement of the question of the Venetian debt according to the precedent of the treaty of Zurich, place in question the execution of the treaty of Prague. FLORENCE, Barr. 16. General Thaon Revel has been appointed Italian commissioner to settle, in concert with General Lebomf and General Moring, the questions relating to the war material in the Venetian fortresses. It is believed here that the assertions of the Vienna journals respecting the choice of the future Austrian and Italian ambassadors at Florence and Vienna are premature. FLORENCE, SEPT. 16, EVENING. The assertion of some Vienna journals that Italy had consented to pay an indemnity for the cession of Venetia is declared to be entirely unfounded. THE PAPAL LEGION. ROME, Sam 15, Eremwc. The Logion from Antibes arrived at Civita Vecchia this morning. The sanitary condition of the troops is satisfactory, but they are ordered to remain at Civita Vecchia for a few days, in conse quence of some oases of cholera having occurred in their ranks previous to their departure from An tibes.

A meeting, numerously attended by persons from all parts of Northern Schleswig, was held hero to day. Resolutions were adopted declaring in the most decided manner against any division of Schles wig, and in favour of its complete incorporation with Prussia. Speakers from the extreme northern frontier of Schleswig protested in the Danish languago against Reparation from the rest of the Duchy. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, San. 15, Blinn/W. Considerable reinforcements have again been sent to Candia. Preparations are being made for the reception d Prince Charles of Hohenzollern. Orders have been issued to subject vessels ar riving from Trieste to ten days' quarantine. The quarantine upon vessels arriving from Kus tendje has been abolished. General Turr has returned to Italy. The Polish General Langiewicz has arrived here. Despatches received here from Massowah state that an engagement had taken place near Alrin, between the Abyssinians and the Tigris insurgents. The Emperor Theodore was expected to arrive with reinforcements, and it was believed that the next engagement would be of a decisive character. A change of ministry has taken place in Persia. TURKEY AND GREECE. TRIESTE, Sir. 15. Intelligence received here from Athens, dated Sept. 7th, states that the Porte has recently ad dressed a communication to the Greek government relative to the latter's attitude in the question of the Cretan insurrection. The Britiah squadron has left Patras for Palermo. According to intelligence from Constantinople of the Bth inst., Tevtik Pacha, who formerly filled the post of Minister of Finance, has been appointed Governor-General of Macedonia. THE PARIS BOURSE.

With dripping gondolas and rain-splashed water, Venice in a thunderstorm is less bright and pic turesque than your readers will have a right to expect when they travel hither. Let them delay their journey but a few days, and political clouds will have rolled away as the rain clouds of this morning are destined to roll. Let them wait until Venice has become an Italian city, recognisable as such by the diplomatic mind, and they will dis cover small trace of gloom or discontent. It is not here, as in Frankfort or in Hanover, where , national unity is being swallowed as a bitter pill at the hands of a disagreeable practitioner—doubt- I less a wholesome pill, yet very bitter for all that. Here, in Venice, the people have earnestly desired I to unite their fortunes to those of Italy. They have had a grand republican career, but that was blotted out long ago, and they have not had a king of their own residing amongst them to be re gretted as George V. may be by many Hanoverian.. Venice stands in the position of a captive whose chains are to be knocked off because the giant of the castle has at length suffered ruinous defeat. — never mind from whom—and because the giant's neighbours have told him that he has behaved like a short-sighted jailor. How the people exult at what is soon to come ! They are quiet on account ' of the chains above mentioned ; but ask any native what will be the numbers of the vote, should a plebiscite be taken, and you will hear that ninety nine votes out of every hundred are safe for Italy, and that the hundredth vote will follow the ninety nine, unless some strange accident should lead it astray. There is already an air of suppressed jollity among the citizens, as though they were pre pared to shout themselves hoarse when the proper moment shall have arrived, and I fancy that tri color flags by the dozen are held in readiness for hoisting. This Venetian captive must not be compared with that poor old man in the-" Tale of Two Cities," who was so spirit-broken by his experience of the Bastile that he could scarce understand the words "You are free." There is nothing here of stupefied indifference, but a great taking breath to shout ' idle dream, though I have no doubt thousands all Viva r Italia all the louder.

He has, however, done little with it. else than heap vituperation on his enemies, and From Vienna to Trieste was a longer journey than the mere distance, as measured on a map, to himself—thus disgusting the public here would appear to justify.

Still 011111 with these disadvantages I think it may be said that the triumph of the radicals even here is tolerably certain. The first of the State elections has just Dome off in Vermont, and there the party of Congress has won by a majority of s,ooo—much greater than last year. A convention of "loyal Southerners" met yes terday in Philadelphia, and a very large body of the most influential members of the radical party at the North have gone on to join them, so that as far as numbers and enthusiasm go, the present convention far surpasses the Johnionite one which was recently held, to fraternise with the disloyal Southerners. The city authorities and I population of Philadelphia, too, lent it a support and countenance which they steadily denied to the adherents of the President. Frederick Douglas was elected as a delegate by a white con stituency, but I believe it was found that his presence might offend the weaker bre thren, so it was arranged that he should not formally take his seat. The Southerners of the convention are, of course, furiously radical—too radical, no doubt, to carry the Northern public with them. They are smarting under the pro scription of the last four years ; the robberies, ' i murders, and outrages of all sorts, of which they I I have been the victims, and therefore seek protect 1 . tion, even though it be through permanent mar , : tial law. With these theories people here are not likely to agree, but the story of their sufferings will doubtless produce a deep impression on the public mind. NEW YORK, ffirr. 5. Mr. Johnson continues his extraordinary tour, and to make his extraordinary speeches. When last heard of he was at Cleveland, Ohio, addressing a very stormy meeting, which appears from the re port to have been largely composed of his op ponents. He was constantly interrupted, laughed at, called " traitor," and assailed with every exclamation that seemed likely to embarrass or dis possesa him, until at last he seems to have been worked up into uncontrollable rage, and directed his remarks in a defiant way to one of his inter rupters personally. A more extraordinary or dis creditable scene has probably never been transude in the United States. He goes next to Chicago, where he will be probably to-day or to-morrow, and strong fears are entertained that his visit there may end in a riot. The radicals are of course growing more and more exasperated every day, and the copperheads of that city would be only tee glad to bring about an armed collision. The Meats Times, w hich ai was throughout the war a Confedernte n and was once suppressed for its treasonable language, has been publishing for the last week, in anticipation of the President's arrival, articles of the most inflammatory kind, preparing Mr. Johnson's partisans for an attack on the radi cals, in case any attempt should be made to inter rupt him. It was in Chicago that the great con spiracy was formed in 1864 to rise and burn the ci.y, Ind in the confusion liberate the large body of Coafederate prisoners confined in the neighbour hood, supply them with arms, and march south ward. It was luckily discovered, and the leaders tried by court-martial and convicted, but it re vealed( a very large mass of lawless material amonot the Chicago population, which the friend 4 of the President would not be slow to turn to account at the present juncture. There are abundant indications, in fact, that his extreme supporters—by which I mean "the peace democrats," ss they were called—who wished the South to succeed at any cost, are hoping just now that the present controversy may end in an appeal to arms. This is a hard thing to say, but it is impossible for anybody who reads their newspapers and hears them talk to resist this con clusion. And, unhappily, there is little difficulty in providing them with a motive. They expect that if the President should attempt to carry out his policy by force, or if, which is the same thing, the radicals should attempt to frustrate it by force, the conflict which would ensue would be in reality a renewal of the war, under conditions vastly more favourable to the South. The South would of course come to his aid, and would thus renew the struggle with their old adversaries with the government, and apparently the law, and they would hope the regular army, on their side ; while their opponents would have to take the field with out organisation, and apparently as rebels. Should the President prove victorious under these circum stances, his victory would be in reality the victory of the Confederacy, and the Southern States would in its Ices* probably escape from the terms which have been imposed on it at the close of the late war, and which it considers deeply humiliating. I need hardly say that I think this a wild and ELECTION COMMISSION& At the meeting of the Lancaster commissioners on &dimlay, a witness described how, amongst other bits of electioneering work, he spent 2/. in bringing home two " bottled " voters, who were on their way to Barrow, under the care of two town oouncinors and two pro fessional pugilists. Mr. Hadwin, the sub-manager, and Mr. Sanderson, the cashier of the Lancaster Bank, were called to explain how it was that whilst 10,0001. in gold had been sent over to the bank from Liverpool, Mr. Stirzaker, an active conservative, was refused 4001. in gold on the morning of the polling day, and paid in notes instead. About the same time 1,001!. in gold had been paid on Mr. Schneider's account. Mr. Commissioner Newton told the cashier that he bad no doubt he was told not to pay Mr. Stirzaker the 4001. cheque in gold. He (the comtuisaioner) pitied the cashier's em ployers. At the time of the election there were 1,419 names on the register, and 1,339 electors voted. Up to Saturday, evidence had been given to show that 780, or considerably more than one-half the entire oowitituency, had been bribed. Many of the voters were bribed by both liberals and conservatives. At Totnes the commissioners had a rather bard day on , Saturday, several witnesses being called about whose evi -1 dance there was considerable difficulty. Some were re called, and after pressure seemed to remember things they had previously forgotten. One witness stated that Mr. I Dunn had undertaken to get a better situation for a son of his than one he had at the time. The voter was glad to have his son's interests advanced, and so sent for him from London ; but 31r. Dunn did not keep the promise. Afterwards the Duke of Somerset gave the son an appointment in the Admiralty-office, and witness voted one and one for Mr. Seymour and Colonel Daw kins. The same witness said " that the Rev. Mr. James wanted to sell his house for 7001. He would either have gone away or refrained from voting if he could have sold the house. I don't think he would have been particular which aide he voted for if he had got a purchaser. There , is a good deal of intimidation exercised among the Duke of I Somerset'. tenants. The duke's influenc is very great in the town council. Great as the duke's in fl uence is, there are certain parties who are always bribed on that aide. Mr. James did not wish to vote for Mr. Seymour. I heard him express some objection as to Mr. Seymour's private career ; but I think he would have voted for Mr. Seymour if his house had been bought by the liberals." This last statement was received with lautffiter. George Cole stated that he had been tempted by barramore with an offer of 400/., which ho refused. Narramore afterwards came and saw four pigs belonging to witness, and said, " I'll give you 4001. for those pigs." Witness remarked that the pigs were worth 35/. only, and asked why Mr. Narramore offered 4001. for them. The commissioners adjourned until Tuesday. At Reigate a voter named William Clark stated that he was aggrieved because 10/. due to him by Mr. Gower at the Election of 1863 had not been paid ; and that at the last election Mr. Gower's opponent gained has vote by paying that claim off. On receiving that 10/. he " went to 'ark and no mistake" for Mr. Monson, who rewarded his , exertions with 25/. more before the polling day. For the benefit of future candidates an explicit declaration was ' obtained from this witness that he had now no outstanding claims. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM MEETING.-011 Satur day evening there was an open -sir gathering on King Stanley green, near Stroud, for the purpose of advocating paths ment&ry reform. The chair was taken by Mr. A. Nicholls, and there was • large attendance of working men of the district. Resolutions were adopted, expressive of disapproval of the combination of tones and Adullamites for the overthrow of the late ministry, and in favour of manhood suffrage and vote by ballot. The conduct of Mr. Horeman, in reference to the reform question, was severely criticised and coodemned. THE REPRESENTATION OF PENRYN AND FAL NM:TH.—Mr. Jervoise Smith has for the pest two days been engaged in diligently visiting the electors and endea vouring to secure promises of their support. His com mittee state that he has received a most encouraging amount of support. The contetvatives of the united borough, although they had been negotiating with gentle men of various degri es of acceptability, were up to Friday af' ernoon without any candidate. An invitation had, how eve been forwarded to Mr. R. N. Fowler, banker, of London, a gentleman in the prime of life, ho some time since married a daughter of Mr. Alfred Fox, of Falmouth, chairman of the Falmouth Docks Company, and has thereto a influential local connections. A telegram was received from Mr. Fowler early on Friday evening ac cepting the invitation to stand as a candidate, and stating that he would arrive at Falmouth by the mail train on Saturday morning. There is no longer reason to doubt, therefore, that a vigorous and close contest will be fought. It is somewhat unfortunate, however, for the interests of the conservatives, that Mr. Alfred F ox pro fesses liberal principles, and voted as a member of the liberal committee for an invitation being sent to Mr. Jer voise Smith. Mr. Fowler is not a novice in political war fare. At the general election last year be stood as a can didate fur the City of London in conjunction with Mr. Lyall in the conservative interest. Mr. Fowler was to ad dress the constituency on Saturday evening. MEETING OF THE LINCOLN LIBERALS.—since the defeat of the Russell-Glade:tine administration, the liberals of the city of Lincoln have been most anxious to form themselves into • society for the purpose of securing unity amongst themselves, selecting suitable candidates to represent the constituency in parliament and at the council table, and generally to watch over the interests of the town. Some few weeks ego a preliminary meeting was held at the Monson's Arms inn, and it soloed to form • Liberal Association. Subsequent meetings have been held, and a code of rules for the governance of the society was prepared. On Friday night last, inn 9uence of the issuing a placard calling a public g in the Corn Exchange, Lincoln, to consider the desi rability of forming an association" (such as the one above alluded to), a large meeting of the citizens took place, the room being quite full. Mr. William Rudgard, J.P., occu pied the chair, and there were upon the platform Coun cillors Brogden, Ruston, Maltby, Gluier , Beard, aid Cottingham, Mr. Coroner Hitchens , Rev. W. Hubbard, Capt. Parry. he. The chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting, and assured the friends of progress that with unity the parliamentary and municipal seats were their own, an announcement which was received with loud cheers. Resolutions for the formation of a Liberal Association for the city of Lincoln w ere adopted, and the thanks of the meeting were given to Earl Russell, the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone, and other friends of . financial and electoral reforms, both in and out of the Hottest of Commons who have so manfully and ably defended the Interest ' s and vindicated the character of the people. COST OF A DOUBLE RE-ELECTION.—In the C 01111143 of July, Viscount Oranborns, M.P. ' and Sir J. C. D. Hay, M.P., offered themselves for re - elec tion fur Stamford, on the occasion of their accepting office in the present admi nistration. It appears from an official return just slued. that viscount Cranhorne expended 871. 6a. Id., sad C. D. Hay 871.45. 7d. ; agency cost each candidate 331.

The Long Strike has not the finish and isompleienese of streak-ma-Pogue, though it is cent in the same mould, and it is open to the charge that it contains much which the author may have selected and dovetailed from his former dramas. There is • trial scene built up and well arranged, as there was in Janet Pride, Jeannie Deans, and the Irish drama we have just named ; the telegraph Mime is the twin brother of the banking-home in the Strap of London, the relations between an Irish sailor, admirably played by Mr. Boucicault, and • factory girl, equally well represented by Mrs. Boucicault, are not very different from those between the Colleen Bawn and Miles na Coppideen ; and, lastly, the new play contains a modified " header." These are coincidences that could hardly have been accidental, and they seem to allow that the author believes that a Lyceum audience, in spite of its reputed aristocratic character, is made of the same stuff as the frequenters of Astley's, the Adelphi, or the Princess's, and is quite as ready to welcome the same realistic men.. and incident.. Mr. Boncicault's Johnny Reilly and Mrs. Boucicault's Jane Learoyd are triumphs of genial and simple acting ; the latter character is the most important in the pieee, and the force and grace thrown into it were worthy of Mrs. Yates or any of the celebrated actresses of domestio drama. The scenery by Mr. T. Grieve is effective, and we are not surprised to find that Mr. Yachter boa returned to the old system of scene shifting. Instead of being kept waiting now for twenty or thirty minutes between each act, the audience have warmly the regulation ten ' minutes allowed for refreshment. The dressing and grouping of the minor characters show excellent stage management, and the success of the piece wee moon ' testable. CRYSTAL PALACE. The great annual choral meeting of metropolitan schools was held in the Handel orchestra on Saturday. The admirable idea of these gatherings which every year afford many thousands of children the very perfection of • day's enjoyment, originated, we believe, with the Tonic Sol-fa Association ; but the particular meeting in question was organised by Mr. G. W. Martin, and composed of Old. notationists. In collecting materials fur his choir, Mr. Martin appears to have taken from each school only the master or mistress, and • few of the must promising pupils, for the balance of puts was very well preserved ; and as the total number of voices is said to have been not lees than 5,000, the schools represented on the occasion (principally those connected with the National Society) must have counted by hundreds. The programme con sisted of eight sacred and eight secular pieces, a very large proportion being compositions or ar rangements of the conductor, dispensing with the organ. The selection proved an exceedingly judicious caw, The melodies were generally of • famillklr character, and the harmonies were broad and massive, so as to present as few difficulties as possible to the performers, who DOOMS. eerily could have bad but few opportunities of practising togethe'. Nothing, however, could exceed the boldness and precision with which the whole programme (except ing, perhaps, the Prayer from Maaqniello) was performed- A piece for four female parts, " Sweetly the Sabbath ball," was instantly encored ; and the well-known " Hark, the Vesper bell is stealing," arranged so that the three lower parts sang the words " Jubilate, Amen " en accompaniment to the air, was rapturously ap plauded. " Home, sweet home," it need scarcely be said, was • greas success. So were " The Last Bose of Summer," " The Blue Bells of Scot land," " See the Conqu'ring Hero comes," and the Echo chorus from Locker" Macbeth" music. The gem of the afternoon was, however, the iuvucation to the "Men of Harlech," • Tyrtwae effort of the Cambrian muse that really goes along way to justify the outburst of nationalism in which the Bard Talliaiarn low recently been indulging. No praise could be too high for the crisp vigour with which the piece was declaimed. indeed the whole concert brought forcibly to mind a somewhat Lumina saying, no choral I luxury was wanting but the let.er IL tin such a point • one has certainly no right to be very exacting with children taught in primary schools within the sound of Bow bells; but we would suggest as a worthy object of ambition to their instructors the production of something r. little • better next year than " ; Moine ! ewee' Tome !" It ' would also be as well to bear in mind that the last syllable • of " saved" is not an exact rhyme fur that of " David.* The weather on Saturday morning was everything that I could be desired. A heavy shower came on during the concert, but the children Lad fortunately been breughc down early, and had had a famous day in the grounds le i fore the singing began. There was a good attendance • of the general public, with which these choral gatherings are evidently very popular. WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL WORCEVFER, SATURDAT. The "Festival of the Three Choirs" was brought to a termination this morning. At about the time when the market carts were 'winging their weekly freights into the city, the carriales of the gay votaries o f Terpsichore were bearing them homewards. The ball last night was not at tended so largely as had been anticipated, the party m u m. tering about 111 0 , although they did not represent by many the number of guinea tickets actually disposed of. The ball was held at the Guildhall, which was tastefully oorated for the occasion. This building, which has the repute of having been designed by the architect of St. Pees, is much and deservedly admired by visitors. It was stated in the introductory notice of the festival that there would be daily morning service in the choir of the cathedral, at which the aaeociated choirs would assist in the performance of the musical portion of it. The first of these services ban already been noticed, and we have only . to add that on Wednesday , the s econd morning, the service eras Onsley in A, and the anthem, Aldrich, " 0 give thanks." On Thursday Dr. Wesley's fine service in E was n given, with Green ' s anthem . " 0 clap yo ur bands. On Friday (yesterday) the service was Croft's in A, anthem, Boyce, "0, where shall wi.dom." Theme services were all well attended, and as collections were made after them at the cathedral doors, a consider able sum was thus added to the charity fund. With regard to the amount realised for the charity by this festival, it appears that the figures supplied daily to mew the of fi cials were not quite correct. The following represented as the actual amounts received :—Tuesday, MU. 19s. • Wednesday, 3121 . tin. 10 d. ; Thursday, WX; Friday, 2251. 12s. • ' total, 1,2151. 17s. hOd ., as against 1,0641. 13a. bd. in 1863. There are also other donations expected, which will no doubt swell the amount to at lease 1,300/ . which will be the largest collection e v er m ade for the chirity, we believe, at any one of the 143 meetings of the three choirs. The attendance shows an increase of no leas than 2,560 over 1863. It should be observed that the whole of the collections are always appropriated to the charity without any deduction on account of the expenses of the festival, which, until last year, generally exceeded the receipts, the expenses being made good by the stewards. Latterly, however, there have been frequent surpluses. As far as can at present be ascertained, the liabilities of the stewards will fall short of the receipts by some 500/., which will", to the funded property of the charity. The receipts for the sale of tickets have been over 4,500/. The stewards may therefore be congratulated on the glorious results &Mauled, and it must be satisfactory to the new hoe. see., Dr. Williams. that his arduous labours have been crowned with a success even exceeding that which waited upon his immediate predecessor, the late Rev. R. Serisant. We are glad to hear, moreover, that Mr. Town ahead Smith has already secured a capital list of stewards for the Hereford Festival of next year.
