New YORK, October H. 1865.
The new season Of Italian Opera in
this vicinity was introduced in this vicin

Music last night TIE Cobbler ana
the Fairy was the opening opera.
The theatre was crowded, even in those
parts which usually accommodate only
the humblest lovers of music. How

simply have described spare crotcd of
chilled aristocrats, who had come into

Now everybody bows to the creed of
Maretzek-the Napoleon of the baton,

The new comedy recently imported
from England as something that was
going to eclipse all other comedies, en-
titled The Fdporite Of Fortune, has
made lamentable failure at Wallack's s.
The plot, dialogue and characters are SO
entirely snobbish that an American au-
dience fail to see anything to appreciate
in them.
Hackett, as Falstaff," at the Broad
way, has concluded his engagement and

Only half audiences now congregate at
the French Theatre to assist at the
Ristori representations. They are very
dressy, very fashionable, but don't pay
as much money as poorer dressed audi
ences when the house is full. The nov
city OF Ristori's debut here has worn of,
and the enthusiasm worked up on her
opening nights pecuniarily subsidized.

A M00NsTRUcK MONARCH.

King LOUIS, Of Bavaria, is reported to
be moonstruck, having entirely given up
the direction of public affairs to indulge
various eccentricities, the chief of which
is to bask in the moonlight He has a
swan-shsped boat in which he floats
about on the water; and so greatly is he
enamored of he moonlight, that he has
fixed in his sleeping apartments an APP
paratus borrowed from a theatre, which
creates an artificial moonlight These
follies are very absurd, but they are at
the same time very innocent, and King
LOUIS no doubt can be spared from un-
dergoing the cares of state in Europe,
which, even without him, is too much
pnvprned

they had done in the field. The follow
ing address was agreed upon:
BOYS IN BLUE: The events now trans

upon us to once more assemble in massed

loyal traitors whose ready sympa-
thy was always for rebels in arms,
and whose curses always followed
us on every bloody battlefield of the
Maryland line. We have fought and
conquered the rebels who had The man
illness to face us in the field. We have
now to regulate these heroes who for the
past four years have stood with yard
sticks and crockery ware in their hands,

South with their sympathy. The loyal

tanned at all hazards and at every cost !!

SHALL THEY RAr1fY,

The New York Independent, the paper
regarded everywhere as among the truesi
opponents of Radical views and pur-
poses, says:
We know. personally, every prominent
member of Congress, and we know that
the leaders do not mean to admit the
unadmitted States on the mere adoption
of the amendment. Moreover, we know
personally the leading Radicals of the
Republican party outside of Congress,
and we know that they have no in
tention of making the amendment the
final measure of admission. To say,
therefore, as the National Committee
say, that on condition of adopting the
amendment, as Tennessee adopted it,
the door stands invitingly open for
the ten other States to make promise
to the ear to break it to the hope. .
We, therefore, repeat, that Congress is
not pledged, either by the existing offer
of terms to the unconstrucied States, or
by the precedent of Tennessee, to make
the constitutional amendment the basis
of restoration.
A desire to be admitted to their old
places in the Union, would be the only
reason a Southern man could urge in
favor of ratification of the amendment
by the Southern States. But when they
are informed that the execution Of that
act of humiliation would not accomplish
the result desired, there remains not the
shadow of an inducement The North
will make no compromise Its demands
it expects to be complied with, while the
uses are left to its discretion. The South
ern States may ratify, but the act will
constitute no treaty-only particle IN
the programme of the conqueror. Why
then should that infamous measure be
ratified? Even the Radicals would
think less of the States of the South
for yielding That unprincipled com
bination of men would accept the
fact as an evidence of the complete
humiliation of Southern pride. If they
can force the South to accept the late
slave as the equal of the white man, they
may make any demand, no matter what,
and expect to see it complied with
When they shall have succeeded in max
ing the people of the South slaves, they
will hate them for submitting TO slavery.
Never while fire burns and water flows,
should the South yield another inch to
the Internal spirit of Radicalism.

TIMES AND AMERICA.

Suddenly changing the tone it has
maintained for years, the London Times
has astonished its readers by boldly ad-
vocating the payment by England of the
Alabama claims 1t also continues its
friendiness towards America by advoca-
ting MAxINILIAN's abdication and oppo-
sing further French Intervention in
Mexico, and its latest article on Ameri.
can affairs was one urging the President
to accept the Constitutional Amendment
and use his influence to procure its
adoption by the South.

HEAVY TAX BILLS.

1t is announced that a single firm in
New York, who are we'll known tobac-
conists, pay the Government internal
revenue duties, upon their manufactured
tobacco, an average of $4,000 a month,
and that their entire taxes, including
licenses, income and other taxes, during
the year amount to considerably more
than 81, 100000. The well known house
A. I. STEWART 4 Co., in New York, be-
sides over 100000 income tax, pays
the Government millions of dollars an
