BOOTHS THEATRE.

The revival OF Bouccaults sporting drama "FIyng
Scud at this house last night brought together large
audience made up in great part by members OF the
dramatic profession. The curiosity was not so much
about the play which is sufficiently familiar about
Mr. George Bemore, whose impersonation OF the old
time jockey, Nat Goslng him in England an en-
vable reputation. "Flying scud" is drama of

and force of the rascy features of horse racing

and shows little of the cunning of authors hands
The dialogue is however, in many passages pungent
and tnged with quaint wit Its main interest rests.

WASHINGTON, Sept 90 1875.
Late intelligence from Mexico represents the condi-

The work of political reconstruction under republican
institutions is practically consummated and pub
lie attention being turned to the work of material de-
velopment Great expectations are entertained that
Mexico may be able to open important commerce
with the United States by Of the increased
munication through the Gulf ports and especially from
the construction of the lines of inland communication
by railroad, concessions for which approved at
the last session Of the Mexican Congress. OF these
the most important is that for the Mexican
International Railroad, which, starting from Leon,
city of 10 900 inhabitants in the State of Guanajuato
is to reach the Rio Grande distance of about 100
way of Texas, and thus with the entire railway system
of the United States From Leon the City of Mexi-
CO. distance of $50 miles the surveys for railroad
under concession previously made in prog
ress, and the line will probably be completed by the
time the International road from the border shall reach
Leon The construction of these lines of railroad
will undoubtedly open immense commerce
between the two countries, of which, from
its geographical position, St. Louis will neces-
sary be the grand distributing point Arrange
mens are in progress which render it probable that
the construction of these roads American material will
be employed In the present depressed condition of
the iron industry the United States it would appear
of great Importance that the control of the Mexican
ket for produce should be secured.
