MORTALITY AT SEA.
Arrival Of the Steamship "VirgInia"
from LtverpoOI-Thirty-e -eIght Deaths
ON the PassaRe-The Cause or Death
Not Specified-The Vessel Sent TO the
Lower Raw. Etc.

The British steamship Virginia, Captain
Prowse commanding, which left Liverpool on
the 4th and Queenstown on the 5th instant ar
rived at Quarantine last evening. She sailed
with one thousand and forty-three passengers,
and merchandise consigned to the National Steam
Navigation Company.
On the passage thirty-eight deaths took place
-thirty-siX of the passengers and two OF the
crew. The vessel has been detained at Quaran-
tine.
ID The disease of which these persons died does
not appear, as no communication has been
allowed with the vessel; but this morning it is
probable that all particulars will be ascertained.
In the meantime it is not necessary for the
public to surmise that every death which takes
place on board ship bound to this port is ne
that thorough investigation be made by the
authorities, in order to ascertain all the circum-
stances surrounding those Deaths
AS soon as the Health Officer ascertained that
the vessel was infected, and her unfortunate
passengers were suffering from disease con-
tracted on the voyage, he Immediately ordered
her to the lower quarantine anchorage, which
is about twenty miles from the city. No appre-
hension need therefore be entertained that the
disease, whatever may be its nature, will be
communicated to the city.
The Virginia belongs to the same line of
steamers as the England now detained at Halifax
with cholera on board.
The cabin passengers are Colonel Wilkinson,
Miss wilkinson, Mr.. Harding, Mrs. A. Miller,

MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER l, 1866.

RELIGIoUs.-The meetings at the Second
Baptist Church will continue during the
present week. The Rev. &C. Chaplin, of
Danville, an eminent divine, will preach
every night. The prayer meetings last
week resulted in one conversion, and q
good deal of religious interest has been
excited.
At Clay-street Methodist Church the
meetings will continue until further no.
tice. There were eleven conversions last
week, and many more are inquiring the
way to salvation.
The protracted meeting at Grace-street
Baptist Church has thus far been quite
successful. Meetings are held every night,
and attended by large congregations. Five
were received for baptism last week.
The religious awakening at Trinity Me-
thodst Church shows no sign of abate-
ment. The conversions last week were
about fifteen, and the pastor has bright
hopes of a most fruitful harvest.
At Broad-street Methodist Church the
revival continues. The Rev. DR.. Duncan,
the devoted and eloquent pastor, is nightly
gathering around the altar q throng of
penitcnts, and much has already been done
in the way of winning sinners from the
paths Of wickedness.

DAN CAsTELLo's GREAT SHow.-This
morning the popular Dan CASTILLO will
make his entree with his "Great Show :"
into Richmond. We need not say that he
will be welcomed by our people, nor that
an abundant patronage will be bestowed
upon him.
A novel feature In the parade will be
the "disenthrallment Of the live lion."
Herr Lengel, who has reputation for
boldness, has 30 tanned one of these wild
creatures that he can take il from its cage,
place It upon a car, and thus carry it
through the streets. This daring and SEN
sational demonstration did in Washington
create an unparalleled t,rore. .,-
Since Mr.. Csstello was last here be has
made number Of valuable acquisitions to
bis establishments. Mr.. Burnell Runnslls
and his two tiny children in their classic
groupings are said to furnish one Of tho
most beautiful and pleasing scenes ever
given in an arena. DAN has strengthened
his gymnastic force, added to his corps Of
riders, and increased his stock Of horses.
The first exhibition will be given tonight.
During the remainder of the week per-
formances will be observed each afternoon
and night. IL ~ t.fs4 ,ktlAs lgg' /

tion of consolidating the Virginia and Ten
ncssce, Southside, aud Norfolk and Peters

sentence of the bad weather. General

The FORGED WILL CAsE.-Thc caseRf
Virginia Cole, negress, charged with forging
the last will and testament of Samuel X.
Cole, was continued OH yesterday before
the Mayor.
Mr.. James Mccarthy testified that he
had had great deal of business with Cole,
and had received many notes with his sig
nature. He had examined the will, and
did not think that it was written by Cole.
If note were presented to him signed as
it was, he would not accept it.
Quite an array Of counsel was employed
in the case.
There being no evidence to prove forgery
or trace criminal intent, the accused was
discharged.

THEFT OF EDGED TOOLs.-The shop Of
C. C. Tinslcy, corner of Grace and Third
streets, was broken open on Friday nigh
last and thoroughly searched. The thiS%p
however, seemed to have very great par
tality for hatchets, as they stole every one
in the establishment, and took nothing
else. They may possibly be in partner
ship with the western Indian tribes, who
have not yet "buried the hatchet;" but
more probably the robbery is with view
of small local speculation on their own
account. "...

charge of stealing gold seal, six gold but
tons, a gold pencil, and gold toothpick,

of Randolph Gordon, negro. The value
of the property stolen is just sufficient t"
make it amount in the eyes Of the law to
grand larceny; and unless Randolph can
give a fair account of the manner in which
he became possessed of the goods, he will

TIE LAST NIGHT OF THE ITALIAN OPERA.
The season OF the Italian Opera ut the New
Richmond Theatre was closed Oh Saturday
night last with the performance of II Bar
Jie'e. As most Of the principal singers OF
the company had already left the city, it
was not expected that the representation
OF Rosni's great comic opera would he
without fault, but it is very much to be re-
grctted that the performances on the last
night of the season should have been dis
figured by some carelcs.ncSs Of manner and
hagrant violation of all the rules of the
operate stage and of general good taste.
Madame Strakosch as RoSina sang with her
usual care and grace of expression. She
is, in every sense of the word, true ar
tiste, and the piquante and unaffected
manner in which she sang Kathleen
4Mavo,uneen and Coming Through the
Rue prevents us from condcmning as
severely as we might justly do the prac-
tice of introducing Irish and Scotch bal
lads in an opera with which they have no
earthly connection, and in which they are
entirely out of place, as that sign OF CHEAP
GROCERIES which stares us in the face IN
every opera from Faust to Don Giovanni.
Signor Ardavanni displayed great judg-
ment and musical skill as Figaro. He has
mo great power of voice, but he is at home
on the stage, good actor, and always IN
correct time and tune. The Iatmauira OF
Signor Errani was not remarkable in any
way, but the Bdrtolo of Signor Coletti de-
serves unqualified condemnation. 1t IS
not the highest aim Of an opera to make
an audience laugh by exhibitions OF buf-
foonery, which are only in keeping IN q
broad farce, and 1t is to be hoped that a
Richmond audience will not again be an
noyed by display of tomfoolery which
cannot compensate for careless intonatioh
and defective vocalization.
Upon the whole, the managers of the
opera richly deserve the thanks Of, the
public for the manner In which they have
conducted the present brief season. The
chorus has been improved until it has be-
come really respectable, and the orchestra
would do credit toa large metropolitan
theatre. Signor Irfre has won the uni
versal suffrages of this city, and he and the
great basso Susini and the pains-taking
Ardavanni, not forgetting the charming
Madame Patti Strakosch and the prima
donno Madame Ghioni, will always receive
q warm welcome here.
The operas performed were well selected,
and with the exception Of the failure to
produce r44fricaine, which il rather o sub
ject of congratulation than otherwise, the
management amply fulfilled all the pro-
misses made Mt the commencement Of the
season. In their southern tour we wish
the Ghioni-Susini troupe q perfect and
well deserved success. @
