The HEsLIsH OPERA. RA.--Afectation Of i
high taste and the pushing of fashion have
vented themselves upon the Italian Opera,
and cultivation has been too often horrified

ruption to be blind to the fact that the
mass know as much about the Italian opera

PROBABLE Loss OF THE SCHOONER E. M.
DYER.-The schooner E. NJ. Dyer, Captain
Harding, sailed from Georgetown, S. c., on
the 10th instant, with cargo of lumber for
the Richmond City Railway Company, and
the long delay in her arrival has created
serious apprehensions. that she has been
lost at sea. Captain Crockett, ofthe barque
Mary Elizabeth, from Philadelphia for As
pinwall, abandoned at sea on the 18th instant
In latitude 35:l5, longitude 1884, arrived
at New York on the Esd, and reports that
at o'clock on the morning of the 18th he
saw the wreck of the schooner +" Mary T..
Dyer,n with four men clingiDg to it; but
being in an almost disabled condition, .
gale blowing and the leak gaining on him,
he was unable to render any assistance.
LIQUIDS Register contains no mention OF any
such vessel as the "Mary E. Dyer" but
does of the E. III. Dyer, and we are COM
PEELED to believe that the lost schooner is
no other than the one last named. The lat
itude and longitude given answers exactly
TO the locality where she should have been
at the time. Her loss, therefore, may be
considered settled question. We think
her cargo consisted Of 100000 feet Of lum-
her. The disaster will probably cause con-
siderable delay in the work on the city
railway. = ~

CUTTING ArpRAY.-Yesterday afternoon,
near the corner Of Broad and Seventh
streets, an affray occurred between DIR. 7.
G. Maddux and George Kane. From the
statements made in the neighborhood OF
the occurrence it appears that the parties
had difficulty near DIR. Maddux's office,
and that when Maddux went across the
street Kane followed him, aad Maddux cut
him with a pocket-knife. The wound was
made in the cheek, and was not of dan
gerous character. DR.. Maddux then re-
treated to neighboring house, still pur-
sued by Kane, who had taken up rock to
strike him with. The police then came on
the spot and arrested both parties. Upon
getting to the station-house both gave
bail to appear before the Mayor, Dr.
Maddux going bail for his assailant.

The st, Louis Election.

Missouri, among all the States, has been one
Of the most radical. Test laws, con6scation acts,
and oaths of the strctest character have been en-.
forced, for the purpose of keeping the control of
the government in the hands of the radical dis
unionists; and at the election in st. Louis on
the Sd instant the Radicals boosted Of their
ability to carry the city almost withoutan effort
and defed oil opposition. Some idea may be
formed of the issue involved in the contest,
from the following extract of a letter from the
st. Louis correspondent of the New York 7Ti-
bune. He says:
1.-THE Radicals have nominated their candi-
dates on platform of answering loyalty to the
Government, and support of Congress, against
the reasonable policy of the President"
1t will be seen from this extract of the IrI
bune's correspondence that the Radicals were
certain of victory. On the morning of the cleo
ton, the st. Louis Democrat, one of the most
radical Abolition papers in the West, thus ad-
dressed its readers:
GUILTY OR Nor GUILTY ?-St. Louis gives her
verdict to-day against the National Copperhead
party. Its guilt or innocence is the paramount
issue forced upon our voters by that party in ST.
Louis. 1t is but city election, and should in
volve only city issues but these Copperheads
will not have it so. They demand condemnation
or acquittal and every voter is juror whose
vote is his verdict. Who can be indifferent in
such case2
But the appeal did no good, for on the Sd of
April, 1866, the city of St. Louis gave her YER
dict for the "Natonal Copperhead party" in
stead of against it, as predicted by the Abolition
organ. The majority, says a dispatch against
the Radical general ticket, is three thousand,
and the City Council stands twenty-three Con-
servatives to seven Radicals.
The same journal which spoke so confidently
on the morning of the election of the Radical sue
cess gave, on the morning after the election,
the following reasons for the defeat of their
ticket
THE ELECTION. Under the circumstances of
the late election it might reasonably be expected
that we should explain in detail to our readers
this morning, in an article of some two or three
hundred lines, why it was that our ticket was so
badly beaten. Weregret to disappoint any such
expectation. We have concluded that in the
present case the least said, the soonest mended"
We were beaten because our ticket did not get
votes enough.
Considering that the city of St. Louis has of
late years been 80 heavily Republican, the result
of the election of the Sd instant is great tri-
umph over radicalism, and gives cheering evil
dence of the return of the masses to conservative
views and principles. Throughout the whole
West, the same feeling seems to exist. The
Democrats have carried two-thirds of the spring
elections which have taken place. Rut these
Democratic and Conservative victories are not
confined to any particular section of the country.
