Reply Of Russian Government to Earr
Granville.
NEW YORK, November 19.-.The Herald's
st. Petersburg special, dated the eight
eenth, states that the reply of the Russian
government to Earl Granville was promptly
forwarded to London.
Russia adopts highly eOnciliatOry tone,
but remains entirely firm in the position al
ready adopted, and refutes at length the
statement that the movements of the Princi-
palities in contraventiOn of the treaty of Paris,
insured to her tho advantage Of appeals to
all friendly powers to note the
fact that the congress is i'm
practicable in the present state of the
principal European powers, and that Russia
expressly disclaims any hostile intentions or
desire to disregard any of the provisions of
the treaty Of Paris, other than those gen.
orally admitted to be unjust and oppressive
against her. She would deeply regret any
interruption of the friendly relations which
she has endeavOied to cultivate with Great
Britain, but repeats her intention to act
upon the previous notification in regard to
the Black Sea.
The general feeling of the people Of st.
Petersburg is favorable to the position
taken by the government.

day with the italian minister, and special

from beginning to end, and was received
coldly on that account. Nile. Naddi, chan
teuse leHere, sings well:lvery little compass OF
voice Mr.. Customary, basso profnndo,
singing more like basso cantanto; good
sound; no color IN tones. The third basso,
Mr. Dubosc, and the second barytone, Mr..
Thery, were very good.
The honors of the evening, however, be-
longed to Mr.. Keghel, light tenor, who pos
sesses an excellent voice, sings with admira-
BILE correctness, and Is, apparently, perfect
musician. But we doubt that he will ever
sing Romeo" or Faust" as it is said he
can. But this was first performance, and
it would be unfair to criticise too closely
until another hearing. The lateness Of the
hour at which the performance closed last
evening, prevents any further OF extended
comments.
The Varieties people, since the opening
of this theatre, have indulged in comedy,
drama, tragedy and burlesque, the latter
being the only kind of performance that
has paid. Shall we accuse the patrons
of the Varieties for tins exhibition Of
tastel Certainly not. And without entering
into lengthy reasons at present. We will
simply ask the manager Of the Varieties
whether he thinks he is going to draw people
to his theatre with Siakspeares tragedy of
Macbeth played entirely by stock COM
pany. Was it bad : no! Was it good no
again. And "Macbeth' shouA not be inter
preted with mediocrity. The company en-
gagged by Mr.. Baker is certainly the best
that has been OF the boards OF the Varieties
this season, and we are willing to acknowl
edge that he has the prettiest of women in
his troupe. Yet we fail to discover many
artists of real talent, and fear that Mr..
Baker has sacrificed too much to the
quantity Of personsl to the detri-
ment Of art. In Mrs. Augusta L. Dargon
we take pleasure in recognizing an artistic
of high order. To-day, personating the am
bilious marble heart Marco; tomorrow. the
dashing, rollcking Lady Gay Spanl-r, and
the next day, the deep, schemmg Lady Nae
beth. Mrs. DargOn undertakes everything,
and acquits herself OF her onerOus task with
art. 4 good elocution, ever-moying fca-
lures, gestures graceful, full of emotion and
no little power when required such is the
leading lady of the Varieties.
There is also Mrs. Emma Cline, who de-
serves much praise for her versatility, and
the disposition she always evinces to per
form her parts with distinction for herself,
and pleasure to her auditors. We will give
more time and space to the Varieties next
