The Diario strongly condemns the riotous dem-onstrattou of Friday ulght, and wants to knowwho Instigated the movement. All those who took

part In it really aided the rebellion. The Captain'General should proceed with rigor against the dis¬turbers oi peace, and, if necessary, declare martialTaw throughout the Island.The Voz de Cuba reports that several of the

rioters have been arrested, and recommends thatthose proved guilty be treated yith the utmost

severity. It attributes the trouble to the machi¬nations of the laborantes and declares the govern¬ment should put a stop to their intrigues.

AMUSEMENTS.

Broadway Theatre."The Woman tnWhite."

Mr. Wilkle Collins' dramatization of his novel,"The Woman in White," was produced last nightat the Broadway Theatre and met with unequivo¬cal success. Borne dramatist.for aught we knowIt may have been the master spirit of the Englishstage.once said that whenever he wished bischaracters to transact anything or Importanceupon the stage be told the audience what he wasgoing to do, told the audience while he was doingit and told the audience what he had done after hehad got through. This saved time and preventedmistakes. Upon this principle the drama producedat the Broadway last evening is constructed. Itis one of those machine plays, made ofjoists and dovetails, where everything happenspat at the moment to the amazement of no onebut that of the characters simulated. Every sa¬

gacious reader is aware of the chief merits of theromance of "The Woman in White." They con¬sist of an exceedingly ingenious and interestingplot felicitously unravelled and of tne unusualart and strength with which the unique characterof Count Fosco is built. Perhaps it would be tooexacting to claim that these excellences shouldbe as forcibly presented in the play. The com¬

pression necessary In dramatic composition ren¬ders it impossible that all the ins and outs of a vervcomplicated plot should be unwound, retaining abreathless interest- from first to last. But we think

5ave » right to claim that the mostabsorbing creation in the book shouldremain the most absorbing creation in the play,particularly when a good deal of flowery rhetorichas been spent in preparing the New York publicJ? . k

debut of an actor imported expressly forthat character. The actor in the present case isMr- Wybert Keeve, who was announced monthsago, and for whom it is clatmed, in the play billof the Broadway Theatre that fie is a comedianand dramatist of great repute. The simple truth

« » ?. Reeve 18 not a comedian and

ohf.wii i of rePQle» and in all prob-abiilty never will be. If we are to Judge of!\im */*** Count Posco (and since that has l>eenthrust forward as his spiciam, we thiuk we havea right to), he is simply a careful andnot unintelligent actor, who makes as gooda use as ne knows how of a narrowrange of abilities. His performance of the Count

and respectable, and mediocrity and^ are Jast what is intolerable in rOles

oi this kind. Mr. Collins is not eminent as a char¬acter painter. Ills forte lies in another and a lesselevated sphere. But his Count Fosco stands aloneamong his attempts at creation, the result prob¬ably of a vast number or touches which close ob¬servation of many models enabled him to give. Itis a character which such an actor as Fcchtermight not disdain, and which snch an actor coulddelineate with that lurid magnetism of look tonegesture and presence which one is apt to imaginethe Count possessed. These attributes are alto¬gether beyond Mr. Wybert Keeve, and.being Intellectual and temperamental, hecannot be blamed for not possessingthem. But every reader of the novel would havethanked him lor at least reproducing the exteriorof the man, a task quite within the grasp of stageart, and not onlv legitimate but essential. We donot mean that Mr. Reeve is a failure because hodoes not make the Count corpulent. Falstaffwould probably have been just as witty had heweighed a few pounds less. Mr. Reeve is a failurebecause he is not in intellectual and artistic corre¬spondence to the reports which parties interestedin his American d6but spread In regard to himand the least he ought to have done under the cir¬cumstances, after acting the rOle to the bestof his ability (a merit which we are will¬ing to concede to him), was to reproduce thefac-simile of the physical exterior Mr. Collinshas so well described. The rest of tne cast, withtwo exceptions, was extremely poor. These ex¬ceptions were Miss i a Vernon as Marion Hal-combe and Miss Helen Tracy as Anne Catherickand Laura Fairlie. Miss Vernon's performancewas the best of the evening, because it was themost evenly snstained and self-consistent. Thedual part of Miss Tracy entailed a task of someseventy, and a great deal or Miss Tracy's efforthad the prettlncss of mere conventionality un-strengthened by original thought. Still the dif¬ferences lietween Anne and Laura were at timesclearly defined, and the actress deserves credit fora piece of conscientious work. The remainder ofthe cast is beneath serious mention. The ptecowas lairly placed on the stage and will be olavedevery evening this week.

Olympic Theatre,The play produced at this bouse last night was

Watts Philips' version of that sanguinary Frenchdrama, "The Dead Heart; or, the Man of thePeople." It deals with the tremendous events andwidely contrasted and fiercely conflicting ideas,classes and characters of that terrible first FrenchRevolution and Its Reign of ferror. Robert Lan¬dry (the man of the people), a sculptor, andCatharine Duval, devoted to each other, haveentered into a matrimonial engagement; bnt theCount St Valerie, smitten by the charms of thelady, applies to the Abbd Latonr for assistance inthis apparently hopeless case. The Abbe. a cool,methodical, powerful and unscrupulous villain,through a cunningly devised plot, gets Landry Intothe Hastile, and there he lingers for 17 years,Believing him dead, the woman Dnval 19 won bythe persevering Count They are married, and atthe taking of tne Uasttle we find her a widow, witha hopeful son, under the tutelage of the Abbe La-tour, lar advanced on the road to rain. l*ndrr.released irom the Hostile, becomes one of the cbleisof the republic ol the guillotine. Lotour falls intohis hands, and in a confidential conversation, ar¬ranged by Landry, Latour, as a choice of evils be¬tween a duel to the death and the headsman, ac-copta the chances ol life offered in the duel.' and is

i-andry'a reception room in the prison.Finally, from his devotion to the unhappy Coun¬tess, his heart not being quite dead, he takes theplace of her son in prison, and at the call of No.JO, walks out a willing sacrifice, and then "the axedescends, and Rol>crt Landry* heart is deadindeed. The play abounds In revolutionaryscenes and situations, and is as lull ofhorrors as could reasonably he desired.As Robert Landry, Mr. Edwin Adams was repeat¬edly called beioro the curtain, though Mr. Lcclerq'sLatour was quite a« finished a piece of acting.Mrs. Walcot 8 Catherine Duval was also heartilyapproved by the house, though hurdly, perhapsup to the demands or an exacting critic. Mr.Wilson, ns the blacksmith, had but little to do, butIn taking off tho chains from the limbs ol Landryhe performed tho tusk like a thoughtful anil skllfUlworkman. The play, to those who tike a feast ofFrench horrors, cannot fall to he pleasing andwin be repeated lor several nights.

Booth's Theatre.Last night was produced at this house the popu¬

lar American drama, "Kit, the Ark an sus Traveller."The merit of this drama is so well known to thopublic und Its popularity so well established thatit is needless to enter into any lengthened criti¬cism. Mr. Chanfrau filled this title rOie with hisaccustomed vigor aftd ability, and was well sup-Parted by Miss Bella f'atemau, who sustained thecharacter of the tnjnred victim. It is not oftentnat a critic can accord unqualified praise to a per.'0"nance, but the manner in which this trulyAttortcpo drpi^a ts presented leaves bo room fo<

unfavorable criticisms. it I*, a decidedly healthy¦ten to see the native draiiia establishing itself tilthe high toned home of the strictly legitimate.

Theatre Comlqne.The Theatre Oomique was crowded last evening

as it waa never crowded before. Long be lore the.^performances began there was not even standingrejm leit, and the hundreds who did secure even

tbat«,caPturod U in some instances at the risk ofb-eaklnj Wie'r necks; for when they got in theybad to bahj on t0 ine window sills in the galleriesby their fingt.'r eQds and toe tips, and irom thebalcony railing*.'11 al> «orts of hazardous positions.The attraction whk>h (3rew thlB gathering togetherwas the exhibitionth® Bandolains of the so*called Indian Box Trick,. The gentleman who badcharge of the box announced before the tnckwas performed that it WV3 then and thereto be "performed for the firstV'mo 10 America,"while the fact Is that the trick Ik the same whichwas performed at Cooper Institute*8001® time a«foby a resident magician. When the curtain wentup there was revealed to tlvc audience a smallcabinet, open on the side that was uxjrard theaudience. The box, a strong wooden ond, boundwith iron, which was in the cabinet, was broughtout, examined by a committee of two, selectedfrom the audience, who shut it, bound it with arope and then sealed up tue knots made in thetying. A muslin sack was then producedand examined. The box was then placedin the cabinet, whereupon a young man atonce got into the sack, allowed himseir to be tiedand sealed up ln it, so to speak, wnile he lay onthe top ol the box. The cabinet was then closed,and about two minutes afterwards the muslinsack waa thrust out over the top ofthe cabinet. The latter was then opened,and, on the committee catting the ropes thathad been tied about the box and breaking theseaiH and lifting the oover, the youug man who hadbeen put into the sack slipped oat. The tricksomehow did not appear to create any wonder¬ment or enthusiasm. It mav be stated that whilethe box was in the cabinet a man, who apparentlyconsidered himself screened from the view of theentire audience, was busily engaged ln some activeoperations Immediately behind the screen, andfrom the right hand side of the dress circle, In thevicinity of the boxes, the canopy over the cabinetnear where he stood could be seen at tirues shak¬ing violently, lie had evideutly a good deal to dowith the mystery, add the only wonder la that thecommittee selected from the audience did notseem to think it worth their while to order himaway, although in their apparent anxiety to dis¬cover the secret, of the trick being performed tbeywalked by him several times.

The Brooklyn Theatre."Lillian's Last Love," Mr. Bronson Howard's

latest production, was brought oat last evening atMrs. Conway's Brooklyn Theatre. The play hashad a success in the West, and is now ren¬dered for the first time ln this vicinity. Anexplanation or why the author of "Saratoga,"whose dramatic ontflow, together with that of Mr.Daly, forms the full stream of American comedy,went first to Western audiences for commendationof bis later style, can, perhaps, be found lnthe play itself. Though he retains the self¬same characters of old, he uow changesthe trials to which they are subjected,aud in "Lillian's Last Love" he produces a playthat cannot so easily be labelled as bis former pro¬ductions were. In It he analyzes maternal loveand gives a diagnosis of the mental and physicalspasms which it induces when its excitemeut isnot allayed. In lact, the play is a medico-psy¬chological drama, with a dash of larceto lessen the sensitiveness which itsextremo expression or pathos evokes. The playIs, Indeed, very interesting, though its pathos pallsupon some, and reduces otners to a mandttn state.Iu Its humor it Is also strained. The part ol Lillianreceives a very good interpretation by Mibs Kel¬logg, and the other parts are very well perlormed.

Park Theatre, Brooklyn.The audience of Miss Lillle Eldridge at the Park

Theatre, in Brooklyn, was goodly in numbers.much better than more pretentions performershave recently had at the same theatre. MissEldridge Is a young actress, whose performancesat the South and West have met with success.She is a young lady of ability, but Is somewhatrepressed by her choice ot plays, if "Alma," inwhich she acted last night, is a proper specimenof them. That she was natnral in the action whiledelivering such stilted platitudes and trite morali¬ties as her lines recited, is a good evidence thatshe is careful and ambitious aud lias a vocationfor the stage.THE OUEBENOY ASP BANKRUPT LAWS.Recommendations of the Philadelphia

TEA AMD TALK IN FANEUIL HALL.

BOSTON, Dec. 15, 1873.Tho notable and remarkable events to occur in

Boston tnis week are a multitude of gatherings tocommemorate the tumbling overboard intothe harbor, 100 yearn ago, of 300 or 400cnests of tea. The cause of such wholesaledestruction of the popular herb is apart of American history, and the ad¬mirers of the indignant cetonlBts who tookpart in it could not conscientiously allow thecentennial anniversary of the occurrence to passby without Indulging in some sort of an appro¬priate celebration A score or moro of churches,sewing societies by fhe hundred, together with alltheir kindred organizations, are having theirsocial and local gatherings over "the cup thatebeers, but not Inebriates."Apart from these there arc in progress one or

two demonstrations of a more general nature, InWhlcn the whole outside public has the privilege ofmingling. In fact, the greater part of the week iseminently a "tea season," and even the old topers,as well as the more fastidious eleven and threeo'clock imbibers, have fallen Into the general line-and temporarily relinquished their Bourbon andhot Scotches for tho savory Oolong and Hyson. ItIs well that such observations of the cventrul teaBpllling occasion are only centennial, for If theywere annually voted the panic among the Bostonliquor dealers would be more general and demoral¬izing than all the prohibitory laws that were everenacted here.

PKELIMINART DEMONSTRATION.The first or preliminary demonstration in honor

of the historical occurrence were held In FaneuilHall this afternoon and evening, and they were of avery entertaining and novel character. Womansuffrage was well sandwiched all through the in¬teresting proceedings, and all the prominentancient and modern advocates or universalfranchise were present. The New Englandchampions were on hand en masse, and from thethrifty North, sunny South and plenty laden West,there were also numerous representatives. Alarger gathering was probably never beiore assem¬bled within the walls of the old "Cradle of Liberty."For six long hours they lingered and listened tospeeches and songs, and at intervals sipped fromthe cheery cups and nibbled at the delicate toastwhich was abundantly provided in all parts of thehalL

TIIE SOFTER BEX AT THE PRONT.Women, ol course, predominate largely in num¬

bers, and besides the more ancient matrons, therewas an unusual and liberal sprinkling of coy maid¬ens, all of whom entered into the gossiping festivi¬ties with an earnestness and interest which was

positively relreshmg to witness and listen to.The regular set speeches and other formal exer¬

cises did not differ much ironi those at an ordinaryenthusiastic women suffrage convention. For in¬stance Colonel Thomas W. Hlgginson, who pre¬sided, made a downright universal suffrage speechin calling the body to order, and only alludedto the tea destroyers by remarking that If theywere living to-day riiey would be in favor or thewoman's movement, which, he believed, was nowBhading the whole land.

WENDELL PHILLrPS' 8PEBCH.That polished orator, Wendell Phillips, was the

first speaker of the aiternoon, and on being intro¬duced there was a universal waving of handker¬chief and clapping of hands. He said that he onlyhad time to congratulate Boston npon a perpetna-tlon or ltB ola characteristic Independence. Re¬ferring then. In a brief, historical way, to the occa¬sion which had brought them together, he eulogizedSamuel Adams and bis followers, who, by emptyingthe tea into the harbor, first determined to severthe colony from the bonds which held it to themother country. This act, he said, only showedthat a community can, If It chooses, rebel againsta government and tyranny which are ob¬noxious, and not of their own making.The meaning of the day, as he inter-Dreted it, was to listen to the voices ofthe old forefathers, who said, do not bnild sepul¬chres, but go lorwanl and do your work! IfSamuel Adams was living and conld speak hebelieved his sentiments would be, a prohibitoryliquor law, woman suiTrage, co-operation and asystem of finance as broad us the nnt, andwith no basis or spec to encumber it, erringot the lessons which come to as from 100 yearsback, Mr. Phillips said that we were as good asthe tea spillers ofl7"3. We a stau now wherethey would stand If they were living, and amongthe most advanced who have foil d and led inthe footsteps of science Is the lamented ProfessorAgasstz, now lying dead in Cambridge. Theheroes of 1773, be declared, most eloquently,would, If they were here, unite in one firmand everlasting demand for woman suffrage. Inthe old country he saw political advance daringthe last century, and on this side he witnessedsocial improvement and social ch"ngcs as radicaland wide as a ldrcd years ago heralded politicalchanges. If, he added, we do not still ad¬vance forward politic ly and socially, he believedthe man would soon be born who wouldwrite the htr y of the downfall of the AmericanRepublic. He felt hopciul, however, for In th.smeeting be saw the opening of the double applica¬tion of the generous principles which a hundredyears ago annua the masked Indians who wentdown to the wharf, ana by their act of tea destruc¬tion established a precedent which gave birth tothe Declaration of Independence.

T11K QUESTION OF 1873.Mrs. Mary A. Llvermore, who was "spotted"

in the audience by Colonel lligglnson, was calledforward to the platiorm. She said To speakhere, In Faneull Hall, surrounded by the picturesof such men as samnel Adams, bronght very forci¬bly to her mind thut taxation without representa¬tion was, Indeed, tyranny. The men of 1773 couldnot. endure It, and sne thought the women of 1873onght not to submit. The eminent icmale divinelurther in her remarks was spitefully eloquent Inher denunciations 01 the unkind and nngallantmembers of the sex who persist in depriving thewomen of the country of their national,civil and political rights. Her arguments inthis direction were enforced with an abundanceof anecdotes and Incidents, one of which describedhow Lucy Stone bad been obliged to submit to theattaebment/tnd sale of her property because shereiused to pay taxes without the privilege of beingrepresented In the government. Her remarkswere frequently and loudly applauded and It wasclearly evtdeut that the Urge audience shared withher in the belief that women never cau have socialequity until they have political power. Shewas boperulof the future, however, and amongthe lavorable signs of the times, she recognizedthe election of rour or five worn n on the BostonSchool Com cttee rd, and also tha complimentof according the sex a portion ithe managementof the forthcoming National Kxposition. Her last,solemn words as she concluded were, that thewomen's work would never cease until there wasan utter ignoring of ail distinctions of sex as abasis ol legislation.

REV. MR. CLARKE'S ADDRESS.Parson James Freeman Clarke, Boston's moat

radical clerical philosopher, came forward whenMrs. Llvermore had finished. The "lew remarks"which he promised at the start consisted ol anelaborate essay upon woman suffrage, which theaudience listened to with a patience that was, atleast, commendable. Tno old arguments wore re¬hearsed with the pastor's usual force and elo¬quence. and when the speaker concluded it was inthe tniast of the most enthusiastic silence.

FRED. DOUGLASS' ADDKRSS.The original 1 Ted. Douglass, who Is perambulat¬

ing New Kngland on a lecturing mission, was nextcalled upon. His reception was a cordial one andhis address characteristic and entertaining. Ofcourse, he was unqualifiedly In favor of womansuffrage, and he did not believe either the govern¬ment or country could be perfect until it came.He said, in conclusion, that "tho colored men, hav¬ing received their own rights, were not uuunudlulof the rights ot others."

LLOYD GARRISON'S ADDRESS.The genial and venerable William Lloyd Garri¬

son, who was introduced aitor a brief recess pil¬lowing Mr. Douglass' speech, declared himself atonce an unequivocal advocate of woman suffrage.He did not tmnk the cause was retrograding, butthnt It was growing steadily ana continually onto its triumph. His own hopes were buoyant, hesaid, and he believed it possible that all the women(ft the country would be enfranchised by i87fl. Theinjustice of proscribing human beings on accountol race, sex or color lie dwelt upon momentarily;Dut lie felt encouraged that this era ol injusticewas fast passing away.

I.UCY STONE'S ADDRESS.Lucy atone, the irrepressible and time-honored

advocate of woman suffrage, and in fact the firstof her sex who went in Tor mixing up politics withpetticoats, was present, in accordance with herusual custom on such occasions. Colonel Higgtnsoncaned bee out la a cmpiuudutarj manner, and

when ner rami form ana Jolty, red face tp-£ea,re. up*n the Platform she was at oncenaued and recognized as the brightest beaconngbt of universal franchise. Of course ahe waewarmly applauded, as waa also the address, tno?re m r P°rlt0fa of which has for many yean beenfamiliar to the attendants of these equal rightsassemblies.She hoped that the women of the country wonld

enter Into a solemn compact to keep away fromthe coming centennial celebration of the country atPhiladelphia, If the boon of suffrage was not ac¬corded to them by 18T6. In orating uponthe okl teat of the tyranny of taxationwithout representation, she said that therewere sufficient women In Massachusetts alone,thus oppressed, to form a line lour abreastfrom Kaneoii Hall to the old South church, thenover to Hunker HUI monument and bach to theCradle of Liberty again.

Boston, Dec. 15, 1873.The death of Professor Agassiz has caused a pro¬

found feeling of sorrow throughout the whole com¬munity. In Cambridge, where he was Intimatelyknown for so many years, the footing of the loss ofa personal friend Is almoBt universal.

TDK RUMA INShave not been removed from his residence, andonly a very few have been admitted to gaze uponthem during the day. The very last moments ofthe InvaUd, as on the last few days of his existence,were not attended with any extraordinary pain.All along bis disease seemed to affect the bronchialorgans, but the pressure of partial paralysis of thesystem rendered the patient Insensible to a suffer¬ing which would have otherwise existed. Forseveral days he was unable to swallow, andnourishment had to be administered by artificialmeanB. All through Saturday night andSunday, up to the hour of his death,he was slowly sinking, though the bul¬letin on the door contained the statement that hewas abont the same, and in anwer to all inquiries asimilar statement was made. Shortly alter teno'clock last nignt Mr. C&ry, a relative of the familyand one of the assistants at tne museum, who wasin the room adjoining the one occupied by the Pro¬fessor, heard

A CJIOVNG NOISK,and upon going to the bedside lound that a greatchange had taken place and that death was near.Mr. Alexander Agassiz, the son, and such memberso! tbe family as were In the house, were hastilysummoned, and In a short time thereat ter thespirit of the great man took its flight. He passedaway gently, but with an evident knowledge of hiscondition and what was taking place around blm.

HIS LLCNESSwas brought abont first by an overstraining of bisphysical as well as bis mental system, and evenalter feeling IndiBposed he continued to labor, andby injudiclousnes8 in this way contracted a coldfrom which be never recovered.
