The Union Square Theatre.

Miss Rosina voKes made her first appearance, AZ
the bill announced, on any stage In the character
OF Nan, In Buckstones "Good for Nothing" at this
house last night. The previous performance OF the
young lady prepared the audience for q successful
debut, and the result proved satisfactory. The linz
personation Of the wild, impusive, goodnaturcd,
but neglected child touched the audience by Its
naturalness 1t was admirably suited to the genius
OF the young lady whose hum0r seems to spring
from an unchecked gate1 dc cew. There
was perhaps perccptible tnge OF old
influences In the pathetic situations and
evidently struggle necessary to avoid the temp
tat0n or suddenly punging back into the comic
buresque from which BuckstOnes play Is at mo-
ments separated by scarcely perccptible lines.
Miss vokes, however kept well within the limits or
comedy, and achieved a real success the audience
testlfyng their satisfaction In married. manner at
the close OF the performance. II was followed by
the comical sketch known as "The Wrong Man In
the Right Place. which brought out the whole
force OF the vokes family. This inlmitable summer
performance created quite an enthusiasm among
the audience, whose Kindness In extending encore3
was decidedly killing. The engagement OF the
vokes will terminate this week, and those who
want to enjoy good, hearty laugh ought not To

GENEVA, August 5, 1872
The daily progress of the international ar
filtration between the United States and Great
Britain in the Alabama claims case develops
an increase of the probabilities of the rendition
of final verdict against England accompa-
MED by declaration, pronounced judicially
by the tribunal, of her general responsibility
for the acts Of the Anglo-American rebel
cruisers.
THE LATEST PROCEEDINGS.
Tho Court Of Arbitration organized in ses-
sion at the hour of twelve o'clock noon to-
day, and adjourned OF three o'clock in the
afternoon. The utmost harmony was main
tanned to the close
AN AWARD IN GROSS PROBABLE.
The arbitrators will, it is believed, award
gross amount Of money to be paid by the
Queens government to the Americans in the
shape of compensation for damages. The
total will, it is said, be of some magnitude,
and the Judges will by this action avoid a
recourse to the Board Of Assessors provided
for in the Treaty of Washington.
LEGAL PROCEDURE AND LOGIC OF TIE AMERI-
CANS.
The American counsel who conduct the case
of the United States before the Arbitration
Court will, apparently, endeavor to secure this
mode of settlement instead of directing their
detailed award Judgment, severally and singly,
on their argument in the instance of each one
of the particular privateer ships. Therefore
the exact amount of the sum which will be
ruled in favor of America becomes of less con-
sequence.
THE CHARGE FOR THE GEORGIA WEAK POINT.
It is believed that the United States claim

The case of the Shenandoah is, on the
contrary, closely pressed against England.
