Theatrical managers are busy with great
preparations for brilliant season In the fall.
A detailed account Of these preparations
will be found in another column. The
enterprising Mr.. Grau is renovating the French
theatre, and fitting 1t for the triumphal
return of Ristori, in September Madame
Ristori herself has diligently visited this sum-
mer the places of historical interest with which
the name Of Marie Antoinette, the heroine Of
the new tragedy that Giscometti is writing
expressly for its first representation in New
York, is imperishably associated. We cannot
refrain from expressing wish that Mr.. Grau
might secure lease of the Academy OF Music,
II it were only to redeem that temple OF art
from the degrading associations affixed to 1t
by the mismanagement of laundering adven-
turer If Maurice Strakosch were TO be induced
to bring home the charming and successful
Adelina Patti, accompanied by suitable COM
pany, it would soon be seen that nothing but
gross Encouragement has hitherto delayed the
establishment Of the opera in our midst on
firm and permanent basis. B
Mr.. Bateman will introduce at the French
theatre new operate troupe, including sew
eral distinguished artists who will familiarize
us with the music OF Offenbach. Mr.. Harrison
proposes to give concerts, 0ratoriOs and q
musical festival in Steinway Hall on scale far
SURPRISING that Of last winter. Pixies Opera
House is nearly completed. Several new
theatres have lately been erected, and others
have been projected Stuart Booth, Hackett,
wallack, Brougham and other great theatrical
names we hear mentioned in connection with
various promising enterprises that encourage
our anticipations of an extraordinary revival
of the drama during the fall and winter. 1t is
certainly high time for special efforts to pro-
mote such revival Our theatre-going public
in New. York is proportionately larger than
that of London and will appreciate no less
readily the very bes. entertainments that can
be provided for it II will rejoice if the
stage RECEIVERS from the lamentable decline to
which Barnum and Max Maretzek doomed it
for few tedious years. The endorsement
which it will heartily give to accomplished
actors and to excellent pieces will insure rich
success throughout the length and breadth Of
the land. If the managers who grow wealthy
in the United States could only stimulate the
development Of talent on the part of our
native dramatic writer's, we might hope in due
time 10 applaud something else than London
translations or adaptations Of Partisan plays.
Meanwhile, we shall favor all conscientious at
tempts to reproduce here in the best possible
style the masterpieces of European dramatic
art.

Hide and Sock.

The French government have kept back
from the Chambers the statement Of the loss OF
men incurred In the Mexican war, and the
opposition In vain seek to ferret out the
figures. II the number were to be disclosed 1t
would astonish the world and the French oppo-
sition to boot However, the imperial govern
ment of France is too cautious and is in too
delicate predicament to Let out the facts at
present; 80 we must be content to rely on
Mexican estimates. Enough is known to show
that this Mexican expedition, instead of being,
as Napoleon boosted, the brightest page In the
history Of his reign, is we'll nigh the darkest.
Time will develop its results.

Lloyd Garrison as Psaoemaker.

Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison. has been pre-
scented with the freedom Of the city Of Edinburg,
after having partaken OF substantial public
breakfast rendered him by the burgesses of the
ancient town OF Glasgow. When handing the
parchment of municipal enrolment to Mr.. Gar
rison the Lord Provost of Edinburg delivered
an address. in which he treated the citizen cere-
monial as an affair of international interest
between Great Britain and the United States,
and appeared to accept Mr.. Garrison as per-
manent binding link Of an entente cordiale OF the
two countries, expressing the hope that he
"would take home the burgess ticket as an
auyury of the good feeling that existed, and
that it might remain as holding out Of the
olive branch to the United States" Thus was 1t
at the grand Garrison breakfast in London, and
at the Garrison entertainments in Manchester
and other English towns.
The Lord Provost Of Edinburg must be a
sensible shrewd man, or he would not be Lord
Provost Of Edinburg. We are therefore aston
ished to find that he should attach any national
interest to Lloyd Garrison's appearance in
| Groat Britain. The fact is, England acted such
on unfriendly, and for herself unwise, part to-
wards the United States during the. JEFF Davis
rebellion war that her rulers are anxious to
seize on any occasion which may afford
them an opportunity Of neutralizing the
anger of the American people; and conse-
quently they stand ready to create

favor of everything American which arrives on

Lloyd Garrison is merely fly on the whee

land to enlist the good wishes Of useful inter.

towards our government and institutions.

Tho Surratt Case.

At length the tedious Surratt case is out OF
the way for time, by the Improbable conclu-
sion of a disagreeing jury. This result has
seemed probable for many days indeed, it
was difficult to see how there could DO any
other, in the peculiar circumstances of the
case Probably no man in his senses doubts
that Surratt was in Booths conspiracy over
head and ears--in the most active sympathy
with all the murderer's plans, from one end OF
the story to the oSher. We have about as
much faith in the alibi that was the important
point of the defence as in Professor LOOMS
astronomy but we must not forget that the
case was tried in Washington and by jurors
drawn from population in such relation
with the rebel cause that 1t regards the
murder Of Mr.. Lincoln as piece Of
Southern heroism, and will shield the MUIR
derer,s associates to the limits of possibility.
There were men ON the jury who were very
glad to have the alibi presented on any sort of
testimony, but too ready to creditit. az recon-
Cling to their consciences verdict of
acquittal, if, indeed, the business had to be
done with their oonsciences. Whatever may
be the plans for the future, it is very clear that
with the same sort of jury any new trial would
be useless waste of public money, time and
temper. II Is satisfactory to note that the pro-
ceedings were not permitted TO close without
some attempt on the part Of Judge Fisher to
assert the dignity Of his court, by ordering
stricken from the rolls the name of Mr..
Bradley of counsel for defence, whose dis
graceful violence Of demeanor will be remem-
bered as a charac teristic feature in the history
of the case.
