ming at the New Richmond Theatre. Tosay
that the house was well filled would be SIM
ply nicknaming the fact-it was fairly
crowded. Orchestra-stalls, parquette. dress
circle, family-circle, and gnlleries-alf were
literally filed. The tragedy of the OCCASION
was Sehiller's noble &c Marie Stuart" and
while the heroine Of the title-role was evil
dently laboring under the effects of fatigue,
cold, and general indisposition, her rendi-
ton Of the character was superb. Indeed,
the scene in the forest of Totheringay (al-
though an historical anachronisn) was o
marvel of great dramatic power and COM
plete beauty. In brief, Madame Jahauschek
Is the lineal and legitimate continuance of
such other unparalleled artistes as Rachel
and Ristori. She now stands by herself
alone in her line; and it Is to the great
honorof the Richmond public that it always
will sustain genuine art. For, whether it be
Patti or Janauschek, the houses will be
crowded when merit is offered and reeog-
nized.

rest, all without commentary. And SO ends
the representation of one of the grandest
minds OF German thought that ever orna.

In reply to my inquiry OF Mr. Sanford,
Whether prior to March 3, 1866, or al any
other time. any application was made to the
Legislature for such authority by the Pc
tersburg Railroad Company, or by any Of Its
oHiccrs?" he replies in his letter, "No dp-
pi,cat'on was made such as you speak of, so
far as l recoliect.' This answer is quoted in
Mr.. Cameron's article of to-day as follows !:
"No connection WIS made such as YOU speak
Of" &c. The effect of this change Of Mr..
Sanford's words, and the accuracy which
admits Of it, will be readily appreciated. And
In the light Of Mr.. SaniorGs true answer,
and Of the inquiry to which it responded,
it will also be seen how immateral was the
mad, ertant mistake in Mr.. Robinson's letter,
which quoted the year in which the
connection road was completed as
the year in which it was authorized by
The Legislature. In neither Of those years,
nor sat any other time" was authority
to construct "them sought and obtained
by the Petersburg Railroad Company, nor by

that year, Ito grant to the two ccmpahes y

LOCAL MATTERS.

NOTES FROM THE CHURCH HILL Tunnel
Thousands ofpersons have visited the sunken
place over the tunnel on Church Hill since
the accident on Tuesday. Yesterday con-
slant stream of persons thronged ali the ave-
| uues leading to 1t TO crafty laudable curl.
osity TO see what hole in the ground looked
like. Most of them returned satisfied.
There has been but little change in the ap-
pearance Of the spot since our paragraph of
yesterday was written. The sunken earth
las settled few feet, and the. shelving
edges have fallen In somewhat, making the
aperture some 10 fleet wider, and perhaps 25
feet longer. @
Workmen were engaged all day in knock.
ing to pieces and removing the houses which
had fallen into the hole. Late yesterday
afternoon an attempt was made to remove
| with block-and-tackle the former residence of
MIR. Robins, which was in great danger of
being undermined by the falling of the
earth on which it stands. The accident has
seriously imperilled the premises Of Mrs.
Chalk and Mrs Darlington, and the kitchen
of the latter seems in imminent danger of
falling. There was a we'll of water on the
premises occupied by Mr.. Robins, which
was taken down with the sinking earth.
There is no water in it now.
Hands were busy oil of yesterday in re-
moving the granite from the edges of the
| cavity and in fencing in the street to keep
visitors from going into danger, and police
men also were OH the ground all day. Had
| this inclosure been erected on Tuesday
morning, and five cents admission-fee charged
for entrance, the aggregate receipts would
have paid all damages.
Dir. Robins requests us to say that the
impression conveyed in our notice of this
| occurrence yesterday, that he had been
warned of the danger, is untrue. He had
received no intimation whatever from the
contractor or others Of the probability of
such catastrophe.

mems Of the fine arts il not injured by the
