Government." Such in the statesmanship of Mr. Seward What the North at large will say to the proceeding remains to be seen. The House of Representatives had passed a resolution of thanks to Commander Wilkes. The Government had made themselves accessories after the fact to his act by receiving the arrested Commissioners and throwing them into a dungeon. The Naval Secretary had fully and cordially approved the proceeding of Wilkes. The City Council had voted him the freedom of New York, and the Governor's room at City Hall had been put at his disposal, where he held a grand levee. The whole press of the country had sanctioned the act and extolled its hero. After this universal ovation to Commander Wilkes, and exultant glee over the capture of Mason and Slidell, their surrender will be the most humiliating act of cowardice that Yankee annals afford. It will be curious to observe the reception which will be given the news of it by the public at the North and in Europe.

hed a high place in diplomacy. Recent facts have shed a flood of light upon transactions that heretofore seemed explicable. The circular of Seward issued to the Northern Governors now turns out to have had some other object than the sudden running down of stocks in Wall street to the great gain of the few friends he let timely into the secret, and who had "sold short." It was in said about the time he sent instructions down to the Federal naval officers in the Gulf to capture Mason and Sidell on any vessel in which they should leave Havana. He knew that he was preparing a quarrel with England, and took the precaution to give timely warning for defence in the seaboard and Lake States. On the arrival of the arrested ministers he sent out dispatches to Mr. Adams, declaring that the arrest had been made without "specific" instructions from the Government, and that the Commissioners would be given up if demanded, and suitable ameade made. He had thus prepared the means of avoid

antly striving after sensations. His ambition delights more in a successful sensation than in a masterly feet of diplomacy. It matters not to him what may be the character of his act, if it only produces a profound surprise upon the public. He startled the whole North to its feet, one fine, quiet morning, by a circular calling upon its Governors to fortify their lake and ocean coasts. He next electrified them by causing to be unexpectedly brought in from the Cuban sees Messrs. Mason and Sildell, who were thought to be safely landed in England. And now he fires a grand sensation Columbiad over the slumbering coaches of the Yankees by a six column dispatch, consenting to deliver up the captured Commissioners under demand from Great Britain, which he pronounces "intrinsically and in conformity with American doctrines" The cravenly cowardice of the act is really much relieved by the brazen audacity with which the consummate knave faces a jeering and disgusted world.

rchased the theatre in May, 1855, for $25,000, when property, particularly of that description, would not command its value at public sale. Since that period, many costly improvements have been made upon it, and we suppose that $50,000 would not more than make good her loss. Her insurance is $25,000; divided among five offices, as follows: Albemarle, $5,000; Jefferson, $5,000; Lynchburg Hose Company, $5,000; Merchants; $4,000; Richmond Fire Association, $6,000. The theatre was built in 1818 or '19, by Major Christopher Tompkins, for a joint stock company, under whose control it remained until 1838, when it was purchased by Col. S. S. Myers. It was known, until recently, as the "Marshall Theatre." The season lately inaugurated bid fair to be the most profitable in its history, but its cancer has been suddenly brought to a disastrous termination. We learn, however, that it is the purpose of the owner to rebuild, as soon as circumstances will allow. The building occupied by

window into this alley, but no effort was made to detain him. At 3 o'clock Mr. Crone, of the night watch, passed the building and found everything quiet, and nothing to indicate the approach of disaster. In less than an hour from that time it was in flames, lighted, we doubt not, by the torch of an incendiary. The theatre is a complete wreck — nothing left but a portion of the walls. All the valuable scenery, painted by the elder Grain, Getz, Heilge, and Italian artists employed by George Jones; all the wardrobe and "property," including some costly furniture and decorations; rich oil paintings and steel portraits of celebrated dramatists; manuscript plays, operas, and oratorios, all are involved in the common destruction. Miss Jennie Taylor, the custodian of the wardrobe, lost about $1,200 worth individually, while the whole stock wardrobe under her care, part of which belonged to Kunkel & Moxley; and part to Mrs. McGill, was probably worth from $1,000 to $5,000.

d the clothing store of N. W. Nelson, adjoining, somewhat damaged. The roof of the brick building on Grace street, below 7th, owned by Dr. C. Thomas, and occupied by Thomas Lawson and John M. Lindsay, took fire, and the furniture was moved out. No great damages was done here, except by water, and breakage. Mr. Lawson, who was sick in his house, was removed to the residence of Dr. Bolton; in the neighborhood. The rear wall of the theatre fell and crushed two small frame buildings, owned by Green & Allen, one of which was occupied by Wm. Wildt, manufacturer of military buttons, and the other, we believe, as a paint shop. This property was not very valuable. Mr. J. H. Hewitt, manager, and Mr. R. Ogden, one of the actors, were asleep in the office on the second floor, front, of the theatre, when the fire broke out, and did not awake until it was close upon them. They rushed down stairs with such clothing as they could hastily secure, but returned again to save a sum of money (ab
