Another abduction case il is said is now occu-
pying the attention Of the Secretary of State. the
particulars Of which have been furnished by an
anonymous correspondent Of Baltimore paper.
He says:
Gin the year 1892, the friendly aid of the Gov
ernment Of the United States asked by the
King Of Holland, through the Munster, resident
at Washington, to facilitate the recovery of the
Jewels belonging to the Princess of Orange, which
had been stolen, and were supposed 10 have been
conveyed 10 the United States. These jewels
valued at million Of dollars. The Prince
Of Orange accused by the public voice as
being the thief who had robbed the Princess of her
jewels, which had been presented TO her by her
father the Emperor of Russia, and the object of
the King in discovering the thief was to excupate
his son, the Prince; and it was this that induced
the Government of the United States to interfere
in the matter. The promises of the King of Hol-
land and of his Minister here were very liberal.
Mr.. S., lawyer Of New York, who had been
promised 800 900 reward, succeeded in arresting
the thief and recovering the jewels; but sooner
were they recovered than these promises were
broken, and he was told by the Minister of the
King of Holland that $4,000 out of the 100000
offered to him had beed paid to certain persons for
having forcihly abducted the thief from New ork,
and delivered him in Holland'
1t is asserted that this affair has been heretofore
represented to our Minister at the Hague but that
he strangely neglected refused to present it to
he King, lest it might render him unpopular at
the Court. Thus the matter rested until recently,
when it presented to the consideration of the
present Secretary of State, who, it is said, is in
vestigating the subject, with view to take action
on it,

The California Emigrants OH the Missouri
Route.
The following extract from letters pub
lisbed in the New York Tribune bring
US the first tidings from the advance
parties on the Northern route. The emf
grants on the Arkansas route have had
some hard service, but we have as yet
seen nothing like the following:
SACRAMENTO CRY, July %, 1849.
] saw last week the first company of
Adventures who have arrived by the
overland route-Capt. Goodyear's party,
which started from San Jose OH the
Missouri river in May last. Capt. Good
year thinks that the first wagon train
will enter the valley of the Sacramento
by the 10Th of July. Capt. G. expresses
the belief that most of the wagon trains
will suffer unaccountahly from scarcity
of grass for animals, although he repre-
seEts the yield of grass as more than
ordinarily good, and this is his third trip
across the mountains. There has another
small party arrived, both of which took
the Salt Lake Valley route.
SACRAMENTO CRY, July %, 1S49. +.
I have met with Mr. James Stewart,
one of the foremost parties through from
St. Louis by the Salt Lake route, by the
way Of the Mormon cutoff.
MIR. Stewart gives very unfavorable
accounts of the, great body of emig:ants
who are within some three weeks travel
of this place. He states that not ten
wagons of the whole caravan will ever
cross the mountains. Full one-half of
the whole number are abandoned al
ready, and the animals are being used to
pack in provisions sufficient to sustain life.
For one hundred miles after they rea-
ched Mary's river. not spear of grass
could be found to sustain the cattle, and
thousands perished before reaching the
Sink.
Few or none of the emigrants have
died from want of food, but their sufferings
from want of water have been intense,
In many places on the de- >ert praries they
were Compelled to bury themselves i'll the
sand up to their necks, and await the res
turn of their friends who went off in
search of water. But none have died,
and most of the parties, after abandoning
everything but provisions. will be enabled
to reach here.

A New EXCITEMENT IN TnFArRIcALs-Durinq
the last thirty sx hours, the excitement among the
theatre-going people has been rising to f yer heat
in this atmosphere. The Broadway theatre, the
Bowery theatre, and the Astor Place theatre, have
each announced ,or Ierformance this evening the
same tragedy-the MGcbet of Shakespeare. Fer
rest plays at the Eroa1way, Macready at the Astor
Place, and Hamblin at the rowery. The excite
ment began in the green room, and has been ge-
nerating for some time, in conse luerc, of the
public attitude of Il e two great tragedians Of
the age towards each other, and their appear
ance in this city al the same time, in the
same characters, at different theatres. Ham
bin, with his usual tct, was determined not to
allow Forrest and Macrea ly to have all the fun
and dollars TO themselves, so he put in his oar,
and has come out with the same tragedy in a new
cast, thus increasing the general e station which
this singular conjunction of events is calculated to
produce among theatrical people.
This singular theatrical excitement and enter
prize springs up, too, at very curious time IN this
metropolis, namely, at the time of the anniversaries
of all the religious, philosophical, moral, senti-
mental and socialist societies 1t will be
great week in New York The streets will be
crowded with parsons and play factors, and play
goers and philosophers, b. yond anything ever seen
before So much is the sens tion gradually in
creaslng in reference to this NATTER that the quar-
rel between Forrest and Macready, upon which so
much has been said to so httla purpose, is almost
forgotten and be Tins to be considered an antiqua-
ed affair. 1t is impossible to get up row at all
about it. Among the ire IN nter5 of the theatres,
and particularly the critical portion of them,
there is great difference Of onion as to what actor
will have the greatest attraction, and bring together
The largest houses, and ba tie greatest amount of
dollars. Much may be expected in this way at the
Broadway and equally so at the Astor Place the
atrc but we doubt whether the Bowery b'hoys,
IN point Of numbers, and in rows, too, could not
beat them both, when they choose.
At all events, it will be curious night at the
three great theatres this evening.
