LONDON, Sept. II, 1872.
The Tory journals condemn In unmeasurcd terms

The london Advertiser says :-''What a farce has
been played at Geneva, where England has been
adjudged to pay tribute TO bully who repudates
his own obligations America is not yet contented
with the settlement OF the claims against Eng

The London Herald breathes defiance and hatred
of America, and says that the breach between the
two countries has only been widcned and then
adds:-"Of course had the arbitrators decided upon
larger sum OF indemnity England would pay it /;
II they had awarded nothing America could but
show her teeth. What humiliation next awaits
us"
The London Standard comments upon the award
In similar strain. II says 1--WE went to Geneva
for justice and reconciliation but instead met with
invectives from the American counsel and q par

for compromise than by equity. The whole pro.

OPENING OF THE UNION SQUARE
THEATRE.

The Fall season at the Union Square Theatre was
opened last night with victorien Sardous new
play "Aenes.n Considerable interest was felt In
this production by the dramatic world, as it was
known to have been written expressly by the
author with q view to furnish Miss Ethel
full scope for the display OF her peculiar
talents. The house was crowded almost to ncon-
venience with prominent members OF the literary
and dramatic world. Every other face was familiar
as having been seen on similar occasions, while
the general public were fain to wait another
opportunity to Judge for themselves the value
OF the work submitted for their approval AL
the skill of the decorator had been brought into
requisiton during the short recess, and the audi
torum looked bright as a new shilling. Indeed,
the management deserve the highest praise for the
perfect manner in which they have fitted up the
house, making it the worthy rival Of the Firth
Avenue in the richness and elegance of It's
appointments. The scenery has been carefully
and artsticay painted the view of "the interior of
the Grand opera In the second scene deserving
special mention. In the story of the play there Is
not much that Is novel, but 1t has the advantage
OF nculcating lessons ol morality without dragging
us through the mre OF crime TO accomplish that
praseworthy object. IL is not, however, altogether
iree from some questionable dialogue that
would be as wol eypunged. The plot OF the play,
Is usual In French comedies Of THIS order. deals
with the matrimonial errors OF IL young couple,
who, agreeing to allow each other perfect freedom
IN order to DC happy find out that the dtser nlier
principle In love, as in politics, generally ends IA
muddle. A ickle husband Stephen, Niscount fhosn-
ery neglects o charming and loving wife to pay
homage to stella, danseusc OF the opera,
