Walls OPERA HoUsE.-The "Tale OF
Enchautment," with the scenery and many Of
the spectacular effects Of the "Black Crook, y
will bs brought out at this Opera House this eve.
ming For months past the "Black Crook" has
been the all.absOrbing topic with the New York
press, and consequently our citizens have been
excited TO fever heat TO define precisely what II
meant For the information Of our Thousands Of
readers, we will briefly state that tho "Black
Crook" Is q spectacular drama, gotten up In the
most gorgeous style, and brings into requisition
about forty performers, among whom are at least
thirty females, IL We are to judge from the ar.
rivals last evening at the Richmond House, cor
ner Of D and Eighth streets, whore quarters have
been secured for the troupe.
The NATIONAL TnEATRE.-A large and
appreciative audience was convened at the Ma
tiOnai last evening. The opera Of "Marltana''
was produced, and It was never done better.
The audience were In good spirits, and SO were
the performers, and each In his role did nobly
and we'll. We doubt whether there has been q
more pleasing entertainment during the entire
season than that Of last evening.
Tonight Fra Diavolo" will be presented, and
tomorrow night will take place Miss Richings'
complimentary benefit.

The Late Peace Speeches of the Emperor
Napoleon.
The time has been, and that at no remote
date, when the affairs OF ons nation were
matters of comparative indifference to the
people Of oil other nations Times have
changed, and changed rapidly. We do not,
because we cannot, say that the nations are
bound together by love. They are bound to-
gether, nevertheless and, in view of the fact,
it matters little whether they are bound
together by love or by interest More and
more the nations are feeling themselves one.
A natural and necessary consequence Of this
is that no one Of the great nations of modern
times can afford to be Indifferent to the affairs
OF any other.
1t is this general principle which enables us
to understand the interest which is taken by
the Old World in the affairs of the New, and
the interest which is taken by the New in the
affairs of the Old. There Is an afinity-we
cannot we'll call it electric but 1t is as delicate
as electric may be-between oil peoples.
Governments may have different interests,
Uut tuO iusoxCSso W suO pCOpio IA aiA uodoho
are one and the same Touch the pulse Of one
nation and the throbbing of the universal pulse
is felt Do wrong to one nation, and the wrong
is everywhere experienced.
The speeches of the Emperor Napoleon at
Arras, at Lille and at Amiens are illustrations
in point Since the close of the late German
war the Emperor himself has been mainly
responsible for the creation Of an uneasy feel
ing financially, not in France alone, but
throughout the world. The uneasiness was a
source not only of discomfort but of suffering
to France. What France was to do France did
not know. What France did know was that
she was suffering, and that the state of sus-
pensa In which she WAS placed by the Empe-
ror's policy was the main cause Of that suffer-
ing. France, therefore, was impatient and the
world was annoyed.
The Emperor has at last spoken out His
speeches are before France and the world, and
France and the world have been bold enough
to give their opinions thereon. What is the
merit of these speeches, whether they mean
peace or whether they mean war, are questions
for the present aside. To those who are con-
cerned about these points we commend the
opinions which we have already expressed and
the extracts which we gave from our European
files in yesterdays HERALD. The points which
we wish to notice are, that the public opinion
OF the nations has forced itself on the attention
of the Emperor, and that the Emperor himself
is now tolerably well convinced that the game
of keeping the nations under continuous war
excitement is well nigh played out. The
"black spo:s on the horizon" the source of so
much disquietude, the Emp ,ror begins to feel
are very much Of his own creating
