Stage Attractions for tho Week.

The closing weeks of the present season
of amusements are full of promise.
The next six nights present many fea-
lures of interest in music and the
drama. Tonight the very best of Verdi's
operas, "Rigoletto," will be given at the Aca-
deny, with Kellogg, VILLAIN and Orlandini in
the principal roles. Albites' short season has
so far been successful beyond all expectation
an incontestable evidence of the intense love
of the metropolitan public for Italian opera.
The four first performances have been attended
by audiences as large and as brilliant as any
SmpresGrio might wish for, and no other pub
lie entertainment has received such homage
from fashion. Without presenting any feature
of extraordinary novelty or sensational talent,
Mr.. Abilities has given us company of salts
factory calibre, in which there are at least
three artists OF genuine ability, capable of fill
Ing any role with credit. He has also endea-
vored to present an ensemble in cast, chorus,
orchestra and appointments superior to what
we have been accustomed to for many years
past, and has carried out this good resolution
to the satisfaction of the ha6itufs of the
opera. A new comedy, ''Randalls
Thumb, succeeds the successful produc-
ton of s'The Liar" at Wallacks, and Mr..
Charles Mathews gives at the Fifth Avenue
boudoir theatre, for the first time, his match
less impersonation of Sir Charles Coldstream,
in his own play, ''Used Up" Sheridan's rat
Ting sketch, "The Critic, has met with such
emphatic approval that it will likely be
retained on the bill while Mr.. Mathews
engagement lasts. "a Winters Tale" is,
likely, the last of Mr.. Booths Shakspearian
enterprises for the present season. Miss Lima
Edwin attempts Robertsonian comedy this
week, under the taking title of Crank" and
Chanlrau gives an idea of life and adventure
In the Southwest at Niblo's. Days play,
Horizon" will be withdrawn after this week
from the boards of the Olympic to make way
for Ainsworths "Jack Sheppard" and the
opera season at the Stadt will close with a
couple of nights of "Lohengrin and "pAfri-
caine." The smaller theatres are resolved not
to be behindhand in attraction, and put forth
their choicest bills this week. Altogether o
theatre-goer must be exceedingly hard to
please not to find in this musical aud dramatic
bill of fare everything desirable.

William-A Complete Understanding De-
slred-Activity of the Bonapartists.
Our special correspondent in Frankfort
sends us the following important and interest
ing report of the result of the Conference be-
tween Prince Bismarck and Jules Favre:-
Observation-Disclosures May Z, 1871.
In the interview between Prince Bismarck
and Jules Favre, on yesterday, the German
Chancellor insisted on an immediate fulilment
Of the treaty stipulations.
Prince Bismarck requires the government Of
M. Theirs to enforce its authority and call
rA6iscite to establish a legitimate government.
The belief gains ground that Germany favors
restoration of the imperial regency, and the
belief is also prevalent that fairly conducted
Elf6iscite will accomplish that end.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
To-day third conference was held. 1t was
attended by MN. Favre, Pouyer-Q uertier and
Ducroc C?) representing France, and Prince
Bismarck and Herr Won Arnim, representing
Germany, and also by Baron Erlanger, the
French banker, who was present part of the
time. The conference lasted four hours at
the expiration of which an agreement was
reached The main points of the document
decided upon will DO drawn up tomorrow,
and on Tuesday the treaty will be sent to the
French Assembly and German Emperor for
ratification.
VIEWS OF THE EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Yesterday the Emperor of Germany tele-
graphed Prince Bismarck that, while insisting
on strict adherence to the preliminary stpu-
latlons, he was willing to afford all possible
facilities to the French government, and to
come to q complete understanding with it.
He was also willing to fully discuss the means
for an early suppression of the anarchy now
existing in France, and for the establishment
of permanent and legal government in that
country.
ACTIVITY OF THE BoNAPARTIsTs.
Advices received here represent the Bona
partst inperalists as very active in the rural
districts of France, agitating among the pea
santry and small landed proprietors, who were
the chief supporters of Napoleon, in favor of
a restoration Of the empire.
BIsMARCK's RETURN.
Prince Bismarck will return to Berlin on
Tuesday next, instead of on Monday, as he
first intended.

Interesting Ceremonies.

The past week has been one OF mar
riases i'll our little city, Father Gergnud
having united three couples at his altar,
who are now sailing out upon the mat
rimonial sea with fair winds and under
the rosiest of rosy skies.
On Wednesday q crowded church SAW
Mr.. $. Fl. Dinkgrave and Miss Clara r.
Bry, and Mr.. Robert Pay and Miss N.
j. Hazelton, take upon themselves the
solemn vows Of wctliOck, according to
the nsages, and under the impressive
admonitions of the {" holy mothcrly
Church, twas a spectacle almost en-
chanting. The solemn stiffness, the
burning candles, the beautifully deco
rated altar, the deep tones of the organ.
the solcmnity Of the Priest, the hctuti-
ful bridcs--nevers so beautiful before
and their maids, who lacked only fhe;,.
grooms' wcdlockand inspiration to riv-
i'll the brides themsclves--thesea and the
manner of celebrating the holy rite of
matrimony by the Catholic Church,
comprised Il scene upon which the eve
might linger with fondness and the
mind contemplate with the purest and
best Of thoughts.
y similar occasion followed at the
Church on Thursday, when Mr.. \. e..
Watson, Jr., of TenSas, conslnmatc<l
the pardonablc piracy Of making his
wife, one of Ouachita's sweetest and
ftirest flowers, Miss l.. s. AIcEnery, the
daughter Of our esteemed friend Jas. ID.
McEncrH, Esq. The ceremony was
abridged somewhat, in this instance,
owing, we suppose, to the Protestant
faith ofthe groom; but Father Gcrsautl
is seldom 80 felicitols as when he adj
dressed the Young couple upon the dll-
ties and responsibilities they were about
to assume, and the tlrong, and Heaven
too, no doubt, smiled as brightly and
hopefully upon them as if hours had
been consumed in the celebration.
Now, our time has come to explain.
Young people, stand up and hear us :
Keep busy; do right towards your fell
lows; love eaci, other; preserve family
pride, and slam the door in the
face of the first person, old or young,
man or woman, relative or not, who
lares come between you-and may God
bless you. There is not much rhetoric,
u establishment in this brief counsel,
out it comprises nearly the whole secret
IF matrimonial bliss.
