NEW YOBS, N0v.15, laloisnio.
--

The New York Tribune contains a report that
the Confederates have occupied Cheater and Thorn
ton Gaps, in the rear of General Burnside's army.
General Stonewall Jackson is in the neighbourhood
of Winchester.

The Southern journals assert that General Lee
is going into winter quarters within a few miles
of Richmond.

The same journals repreeent Richmond to be
in a very lawless condition, no persons venturing
out after nightfall.
The Federal expedition has returned to Newbera,
North Carolina. It advanced to within 11 miles al
Farborough, where the Confederates were found in
heavy force.

The Confederates have been routed at Moorfieid
Hardy, County Virginia.
It is semi-officially announced that no resignations
of army officers have been received since General
M'Clellan's removal, but that there will be no diffi-
culty if officers are disposed to resign.
It is not supposed that General Fremont will
receive any command in the field.
The future financial policy of the Federal Govern-
ment attracts much attention. A petition is to be
presented to Congress urging the government to
issue 20 years bonds, in amounts of 50 doh. and
upwards, bearing 414 per cent. interest ; the bonds ,
to be made a legal tender by law, and the govern-
ment to apply them to the payment of all debts and
the redemption of the existing legal tender currency.
It is semi-officially announced from Washington
that no foreign powers have officially indicated any
intention of recognising the Southern Confederacy.

Immense frauds have been discovered in the New
York custom-house.

The Princess of Prussia appears to have enjoyed her sea
trip very much. Frequently the seamen would of an even-
ing have skylarking, dewing, imp-frog, hunt the monkey,
and other sea passe, intermened with old sea songs. These
the princess became interested in, and would remain en
deck listening and watching the games till eleven o'clock at
night.
The yacht is now at Malta having her other paddle pat
in. the will be ready to-night, and will proceed to Civil&
Vecchia for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who
will speed his ester's birthday with her iu Rome, and after-
wards proceed in the Osborne to Marseilles, after which the
Osborne will proceed spin to Civil* Vecchia, for the
Prince and Princess of Proem, sad °savoy them to Gam,
and they will proceed rid Venice to Berlin, arriving there
by Christmas.

Her Majesty's ship Magicienee arrived from Naples the
same day as the yacht, the Princes' of Lei/Magee tame
rsgeis the latter to Malta. On the 18th the Melees Nailed
yria. On the 21st, the Regicisans returned to Naples, and

this day from Eagland. The orew of her Majesty's ship
Firebrand have been sofferieg a good deal from Syrian fever,
but are now fast improving. The Liffey expects to proceed
to Corfu in about a week.

A FRENCH AUDIENCE HISSING N. MARIO.

Galignani thus describes the disgraceful scene at
the Grand Opera, Paris, oa Monday night :
"The great e►ent looked forward to for the laat fur weeks
—the reappearance of Mario—Dame off on Monday night,
and we regret to have to state that the engagement from
which so much pleasure was anticipated came prematurely
to a conclusion the same night. After several changes and
delays, arising from occidental circumstances, Meyerbeer's
Huguenots was finally selected for his first appearance,
sad this caprices theatre was crowded to ita
ut-
termost extremity to Witilln the setara r the
favourite tenor to the sure of his earliest triumphs,
nearly every seat in the sane having been engaged for
weeks in advance. On hie entrance in the character of Raoul
there was evidently a mischievous intention abroad, for
the salutation of his friends was met with cries of ' silence.•
Mario was in fair voice, and the first act pissed off tolerably
well, though the hostile mandestatioes of a party among
the spectators were always apparent. This unusual treat-
ment evidently disconcerted the artiste very much, ►nd
soon began to act upon his voice. Upon the first
sign of weakness the opposition showed their deter-
mination to put him down without reserve. Every
point in the play, every expression that gave the
least opening for ridicule, wen seized on e:thout mercy,
and received with laughter and boisterous iotemip.
Vona. It is scarcely necessary to say that this unhandsome
proceeding was met by the majority of the audience by de-
cided efforts to put it down, but these we'l•iotended en-
deavours only increased the tumult and confusion, and as is
always the case a persevering and noisy minority were
enabled to triumph over twenty times their number. The
result was that M. Mario at ouae cancelled his engagement
by an amicable arrangement with the director, who, in
common with miry of his friends, wished him to remain
and try at least by another essay to test the real feeling of
the public at large towards him, instead of thus giving way
to the opposition of as evidently sms,l minority."
M. Mario, however, is re-engaged at the Italian, sad will
appear at that theatre on Sunday night in If Barbiere de
&owlets, with Nadir. Patti as Rosins.
