Ristofis Great Triumph

On Friday last Madame Ristori PLAYED Medee

and made an impression, it appears. which took
the house by surprise. They anticipated great
things in this creation of Madame Rstor.
but it seems that her acting was bordng on the
marvellous. The consequence that night

first time before the public, every seat had been

of this piece would produce, and had secured a

The translation adapted to Madame Re>tori's
style and modified after her suggestions, it is
said. brings out beauties which did not exist in the
French. The subject blends the pathetic with
the terrible as it requires greater ply steal force
and long sustained effort, is admirably adapted
to Rlstori's powers. There is suhlimity in her
acting in this piece. which makes one forget that
she is mortal. 1t is thus impossibly to criticize

Thirty Fourth Congress - trss Session.
WAsuIsoroS. April 30.
SENATE.

The House bills relative to an appropriation
for the Improvement Of the harbor Of shehoygan,
and creating Columbus, Ky. port OF delivery,
were passed.
On motion Of Mr.. Sumner. a resolution was
adopted directing the committen on finance to
consider the cxpediency of pro, idfng by law that
al! articles Of foreign manufacture. obtained ex-
cluslycly from submerged and direlict wrecks;
whether sunk in our own or foreign waters, may
be admitted free of duty and TINT the Secretary
of the Treasury, in his discretion. may be au-
thorzed 10 remit the duties to which such articles
are now subject.
Mr. Stuart. from the committee on commerce.
reported the House bill for enarging the custom
house. posioice and court house ut Cleveland.
Ohio. with amendments extending the provisions
of the bill to the building for similar purposes at
Milwaukee. Wisconsin, and Detroit. Michigan.
Mr. Wade opposed the amendments on the
ground that if the bill sent back TO the House
il would cause much delay and perhaps defeat
the entire object.
After some debate the hour arrived for taking
up the special order and the subject was post
poned
Mr. Briggs defended the naval board, and re-
piled to the recent speeches OF Mr. Houston and
others in ihe course of his remarks compliment
ing the Secretary Of the Navy for the efhclency
of his official conduct.
Mr. Adams believed that the law under which
the naval board was constituted had not been
properly executed, and he contended that the
board did not make careful examination as
they should have done. He further objected to
their proceedings that the officers had no notice
Of the charges which were made against them,
and no opportunity for defence. Nor could they
ascertain why they removed from their
PLACES, for the board Kept no record. Now they
ask Congress for redress against the injustice
ihnt has been done them and they ought to have
it.
Mr.. Toombs obtained the floor and the Senate,
after an executive session, ad ourned.
