JUDGE JAEGER IT THE GER
NAN THEATRE.
Speeches by Mc-S1'=. Muir
ply, Jcrvis and DittOe.

III Nj, - III
German Theatre was we'll filled last eve
ming, in snswer to call for democratic
meeting .. that place. The announcement
that Judge jaeger, Of Keokuk, would BE-
present and address the German citizens Of
Davenport in their own language, was
handsomely responded to, ard At s o'clock
tha. gentleman va, duly introduced by A.
@. Smanfeld, Esq, chairman Of the Ger.
man Democratic clcb, aud addressed the
meeting upon the more prominent Issues
Of national politics. Not being vsised in
the language. it is beyond our power to give
. report Of the speech, but from the man
ner in which il was delivered and
received, should judge that it must have
been Of an interesting character.
subsequently the floor was occupied by
Judge Murphy. F. I. Jsrvis, E,q and w.
I. Di.toe, Esq, who freely and eicquently
discussed the matters wherein the people
Of this country arc mostly interested.
Considering the facts that the recent
elections have not resulted in that manner
that would tend TO inspire Wild enthusiasm
among the democracy, the meeting was .
decided success. Compared with the
drivling affair held BY the republicans .
few nights ago. when Gen. Trumbull, Lord
Grinnell, King Hiram and the Supreme
Berehers. wasted their po-tica' ''sweetncss on
an enthusiastic array Of empty benches, it
vas grand demonstration and worthy OF
particular and continued communication.
TINS OPsRA.-"Fra Diavolo" Was pre-
ssnted last night to . very fair audience.
The play was put upon the stage in excellent
style, the costumes, scenery and appoint
ments being we'll nigh perfect. Marie
Frederici - "Lady Pamela" we'll sustained
nsr character. Clara Ling ~ "Zsrlina''
was charming. The scene in the cottage,
whore she rstirss, and kneeling sings her
evening hymn Was beautifully executed.
Franz Himnsr ~ Fra Diavslo''
Vas oil that could Be- desired in that
part. Uniting . rich, clear voice, with
. flns persensl1s, he 10 very effective in the
dramatic passages. His acting is 6nisbed
tasteful, and always in perfect harmony
with the play. Messrs. Wcinlich and
Steineeke were incompatible in the parts
Of "Gacomo" and "Bcppo,' and received
hearty applause therefor As they deserved.
The reading Of the letter from Fra Diavolo
by those two worthies, was inimitabs.
Mr. Bach ~ "Lo-d Allcash," was very sue
cessful in his conception.of the part-ths
leading characteristics Of John Bull on his
| travels, were rendered in q manner that
Was droll in tho extreme. Tho chorusss
were given with good effect. Tonight
will be presented Gounods Faust" With
Mario Fredsrici Is "Margusrite," Franz
Himmer as Faust" and Weinlich 90
"Msphistope!es." This is . strong caste
and sho1ld not fail to draw q crowded
house.

THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUE.

The Ocean Sweepstakes for $4,000 Between
the Idler, Palmer, Eva and Phant om-The
Conditions Not Compiled With and the Race
Declared on.
NEW BEDFORD, August IS, 1858.
The ocean sweepstakes for $4,000 between the
yachts Palmer, Idler, Eva and Phantom was sailed
to-day The course was from Clark's Point four
miles below this city, twenty miles to windward and
return. The conditions were that the race
should be made In nve hours or be de-
clared on This provision-an unfortunate
One-has made brilliant days sailing quite
unsatisfactory, as the Palmer, the first Of the
gallant crafts home, did not arrive until
forty-dve minutes after the prescribed time.
Such an interest was manifested In the race among
all classes that crowds gathered at every wharf along
the city and hundreds swarmed the Fairhaven
shore opposite, while many gay equipages were on
the grand drive along the beach leading to the
starting point. The harbor was covered with the
balance Of the fleet and every conceivable
character Of row boats and sailing YES
sells, each filed with interested spectators,
lending an additional charm to the scene.
The day was magnificent. The aeecy clouds, with
here and there dark festoons in the sky that por-
tended rain, broke away and the sun shone with
splendOr, fecking land and water with its golden
tints. The wind was from s. s. W., blowing ten
knot breeze. All hearts were glad, and lockers on
manifested the same interest as the captains and
crews OF the contending vessels
The position of the yachts al the point Of starting
opposite Fort Taber was as rollows:-idier inslore
to wndward, Palmer second, Eva third aud
Phantom fourth. The sight could not be sur
passed; AT ten minutes after eleven O'Clock
the whistles from the steam yacht Minnehaha,
owned by Mr.. T.. Q. Durant, sent them their way.
Inc wind came from the quarter that made them
"beat'' all the way to the stakebOat five miles be-
yond Cuttkhuny lghtshlp, the western extremity Of
Marthas Vineyard, and with an ebD tide The vessels
did not turn till the following hours
II. III. H. NJ
Idler. IL Eva............. 3 AK
Palmer. ........... IA Phantom ...... 8 10
Rounding the stakeboat each yacht received
hearty cheers Homeward with a flood tide the
sailing qualities OF the Palmer finely displayed
and soon she Overhauled the Idler and passed her.
The starting position Or Clark's Point was reached
by the Palmer in five hours and forty-ve minutes,
followed by the Ider eight minutes after, the Phan
tomsthird and Eva last.
The disappointment that this trial Of speed should
be mo race" Is very general. The opinion is that
with such wind on this course-fully fifty miles
with tacking-it would require young gale to make
it in five hours The wind greatly subsidized during
the contest, but came from the same quarter.
The squadron will probably disband tomorrow by
remain in this delightful harbor, some will cruise
further eastward, while others will return to New
York.

ing for instructions. Will Mr.. Seward
and the President understand the stua-
tion and instruct him accordingly? Or,
rather, will they not give him sufficient latitude
and discretion to carry out the American
policy we have indicated2 Mr.. Seward has
done well with regard to China, but he lacks
foresight and comprehension about Mexico and
our inter-continental affairs. The President,
however, should see the necessity of the policy
we have indicated. Nothing tends to allay do
mestic troubles so much as vigorous foreign
policy and the acquisition of territory. 1t oc-
cupies and satisfies the restless and ambitious
spirits. The Romans understood this well and
followed it successfully. President Johnson
has an opportunity to make himself famous on
this Mexican question, and if he will leave the
settlement Of it to General Rosecrans that
statesman and hero may bring about the an
nexation of Mexico and his own elevation to
the Presidency for accomplishing so great
work. At all events the crisis is at hand, and
the time has come when the United States
should give government and p eace to Mexico.
The New York herald., 1868-08-19

to his own gain with as exact a nicely as can
the most venerable ''stager" in the new Tam
many Hall, it must be acknowledged that the
vote and attendant circumstances of the con-
test in the department Of the Jura are very
significant. 1t is ''frst blood" for the opposi-
ton, but will it be the last blood for France
Have the French people come to comprehend
the real value of the citizen franchise and
speak their thoughts freely by the ballot2 If
so the progress of the general election in the
empire towards its conclusion in November
may-as in Great Britain and the United
States-be attended with very extraordinary
developments as to the real state of public
feeling on the subject of the future system of
rule in the country.
