PUBLiu AMUSEMENTS
• The burlesque of "Columbus el Filibustero,"
first played at BUrton's Theatre, New York, some
six months ago, is a piece which Mr. Brougham,
• its author, amusingly describes as "a new and
audaciously-original-historico-plagiarlstio, ante
national,: pre-pattlotlo, and omni-looal confusion of
ciPsitmetances,- running through two acts and four
centuries " It was played at Aroh-Strbet Theatre,
last night, to a good house, and mot with the min
gled mead of laughter and applause. The part of
the hero, whose, mime giyeathe . "lase a title, was
filled, wl{h" all reqiiiidte extravagance, by Mr.
Broughain. In "Columbus," as in "Po-on-hoz
tag," the success mainly depends upon the acting
of Mi. Brougham. The author-actor makes the
play, In a double sense.
" Columbus" is =Vouch a good burlesqllGlO
eause neither. so 'witty nor extravagant, as the
Inimitabl*Po-ca-hon-tas." It is deficient in the
overiloAug, r . ollioki,ogpsn of its admirable and
amusing predecessor... There is something out of
.the way, we grant, in treating' Columbus as a fili.
buster--;whicti he actuallY,:wis=but what is this
cOmpared . with the incursions and love-makings of
'Captain 'John. Smith ? The literary merits of
"ColumbitsWare more considerable ' There is a
little bit of sixteen or eighteen Sues, in which is
described the reception of a &de of broad by Co
lumbar, who divides it with his half-famished son,
which fa touchingly written—a semi-Ugolino
sketoh, in words.
The characters talk too much—or, rather, too
tedimisly. The Ring is longwinded, and Columbus
istiiiito,bosidis being rather tedious, in describing,
as bra vision, the present United States.
There is a deficiency, or rather clumsiness, in
the Wroth:Wien of Columbia. But the first act
WindsfttP merrily enough, though it wants the
stirring sotto') which gives life and spirit to " Po
ea-lton-tas." In Aot II there is much said and
little done, the allegorical Columbia coming up
again. The finale Is good. On the whole, "Co
lumbus" to not equal to
„"Po..ca-hon-tas," though
as geed as any other burlesque, native or imported,
of the day. It is 'scarcely fair, perhaps, to con
trast the separate productions of the same author,
but it is done, for " we are nothing, it not criti
tal!'
„ .
As we have said; the piece was highly applaud-
ed, and every apropos allusion,qutokly taken up
by a very Crowded house. Mr. Brougham looked
'the elihracter of Cothmahus, as well as noted it, and
.Tan encored in a lively song in the opening scene.
But hie was noting "under difficulties,”" for Mr.
games Dunn; who attempted the part of Kini
Perditienttonatie ducks, and drakes of it—from
not having the treuble of committing the words to
memory. Not even the audible old afforded by
Mr Fisher, the prompter, helped him. Of course,
there is a' regular scale of fines at this theatre.
Mr. Dunn, throtigh whom the effect, of the first
scene was nearly undone, will have a very small
salary to receive, on Saturday, ,! we gassy' if the
-stoppages Brest, all in proportion to his demerits on
tidencoation. '.ll , e'tiould suggest that when ho
retrogniaceloqualistaneet in the stage-boxibe will
riot- make• any; publio' demonstration— , eithor by
speaking to them,, Smiling' at them, or trying to
shake hands' With them. Ills shortcomings in the
dialogue evidently annoyed Mr. Brougham. In
deed, we thought, at one time, that Mr. Brougham
intended addressing the audience on the Subject,
but hi must have notieed that they saw and heard
what We complain of.
The delivery, by Mr. Brougham, as Co/Imbue,
of„ , /he spirited Passage in which the future of
&aeries wee shadowed. was Impressive and
ishle.,? The littie„passago, already referred to,
' where. ?sr/4nd° describes Columbu4 dividing
the dole of broad with his son, was well spoken by
Mr. Stearns.' Ibo hating, all through, of Mr.
Bradley; as Archbishop of Seville, also merits
praise. Miss Emma Taylor was a Charming
Columbia. The whole spectacle part was welt
got up. - This evening '" Columbus" will be re
lented. To make .it run smoothly, Mr. James
Dunn will have to devote the whole day to hard
atudy. of his part.-

Great Megting.
Yesterday afternoon and evening witneeSed one
of the most interesting events in the Sabbath
sehooreatele`that have taken place in this city for
many years. Pursaant to announcement, a large
meeting of teachers, superintendents, and others
interested in the cause, was held at Concert Ilell,
'at 4 o'clock P. AI., for the purpose of Boatel wor
ship and exhortation, preparatory to the anniver
sary exercises of the Philadelphia Sabbath School
Associatton,whieh were held in that ball last even
ing. The chair at both meetings was occupied by
the President of the Association, Geo. H. Stuart,
Esq. The exercises in the afternoon were com
menced by singing the well-known hymn, com
mencing--
All hail the power oryosnat name,
Let angels prostrate tall."
After Which a prayer was offered by a gentleman
from Belvidere, N. J.
-The chairman then read the 103 d psalm, begin•
ning with the beautiful words of rapturous praise :
mess the Lord, omy soul: all that is within me,
bless his holy' name "
At the close of which, the Rev. John Chambers,
by special request, made a short but stirring ad
dress to the congregation. Ire said ho had come
there not to speak himself, but to listen to others,
yet he was always willing to say what he could
in _behalf of anything that had for its object the
extension of his Master's Kingdom. Ile could
wish, he said, that the spirit which had boon
manifested at the great noonday prayermeeting,
a few hours before, might be transferred to the
present assembly, in which event, he believed,
every one would be anxious to soya word for God.
Indeed, the state of feeling evinced at that inept-
Mg had been enough to cause the dumb to speak
and,yet, what bad .there been enjoyed by Chris
tians might be equally realised everywhere, if
the same spirit of prayer was allowed to prevail.
Re believed that everything depended upon,
men doing their duty in the groat work
which hail called them together, and that, if
those engaged in it were but faithful, we should
see greater results than bad yet been witnessed.
It was only by training up children In the ‘f fear
and admonition of the Lord" that society Could
over be freed from the vice and immorality with
which it was now cursed. The influence of godly
mothers was incalculable, and daily we had such
evidence as the following from the lips of young
men : "It never can get rid of or away from the
early impressions of my mother's godly example,
and her gentle admonitions." And such also
might be the testimony with reference to the Bab.
battpaehool teachers. In- very many oases the
little ones in their °lessee were fatherless and
motherless, and under which circumstances it was
the kind privilege of the teacher to supply a parent's
itead in those ministrations of truth, which are to
tell en marvellously upon thi oteraal.-0- 1. -
.thoac-wrioreovrr.-crlern.: ---
The remainder of the hour was devoted to
singing and prayer ;; a few gentlemen present—
Mr: Stuart am* others—having occupied the in.
tervale with brief and interesting statements re
specting the present condition of the several
schools which they were there to represent.
In the evening the lower floor of Concert Hall
was tilled to its utmost capacity. The - exercises
were commenced by singing, and a prayer by the
Rev. Wm J. It. Taylor. An election of Olean
for the ensuing year was then held, which result
ed in the choice, by acclamation, of George 11.
Stuart, Esq., for Presidentof the Association, and
a board of fifteen managers from as many differ
ent Christian denominations ; also, as Vice Pre
sidents, Messrs. J. S. Cummings and Aaron 11.
Burtis ; Corresponding Secretary, Isaac Sulger,
and Recording Secretary, William Gett.
A portion of Scripture was then read by Rev.
Mr. Duffield, and the hymn sung,
" Ara I a eolcller of the Cross,
A follower of the Lomb?" &a.;
After which an interesting statement of the doings
and condition of the association was read by Mr.
J. S. Cummings, from which we glean the follow
ing statistics :
Number of mission schools organized by the
Philadelphia Sabbath School Association, as stated
in last report, 32 ; number of rataatetS schools or
ganized during the past year, 31 ; number of Sab
bath schools in Philadelphia, exclusive of mission
schools, 205 ; total number of schools is Philadel
phia, 288 ; number of scholars in mission schools
organized by this association, 2,000; number of
scholars gathered into mission schools during the
year, 1,475; number gathered into previously ex
isting schools, 2,000 ; total number of scholars
gathered into the Sabbath-school by this associa
tion, sham its organization, 0,075 ; number of state
less connected with previously existing sehools,
42,100; whole number of Sabbath-school scholars
in Philadelphia, 48,175 ; number of teachers en
gaged in mission schools at last report, 323 ; um:o
ber engaged during the past year. 263; total en
gaged in mission schools, 586; number in pro.
Alsip existing schools, 4.505 ; whole number of
teachers in Philadelphia at this time, 5,001.
In addition to those statistics, it was said that
another feature had marked the progress of the
school within the past year of a very sheering cha
racter. Tho number of conversions of pupils in the
schools had been unprecedented; In the seventy
four schools from which they had boon able to
gather definite accounts, there had been 1,516
added to the communion of the different churches
from the ranks of the Sabbath-school, making the
inference more than probable that, at least, 4,500
had boon Aka to the church from this some
within the year.
After the reading of the report, the meeting was
pronounced open for statements bearing upon the
gabled which had brought them together; which
invitation was, under thsi ilvo-minute rule, re
sponded to with promptness by a large number in
the course of the evening.
Among the speakers of the evening, 'we re
cognised Mr. Simmons, superintendent of the
Green Dill School; Mr. Edwin Booth, of the First
Reformed Dutch Church; Mr. Blierre'rd, of Bel
rider°, N. J.; Mr. Dehaven, superintendent of
the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church ; Mr. B.
D. Stewart, of the Coates street Presbyterian
Church; Mr. A. H. Boras, of the Rev. Mr.
Chambers' Church ; Mr. B. B. Willis, of the Fourth
Baptist Church ; also, Rom Bomberger, of the
Race-street Gorman Reformed Church, and Goo.
Duffield, of the Coates•strect Church. In addid
lion to these; there were_ several other speakers,
whose" names wo did nut learn.
Many of the statements thus elicited, bearing
upon this important movement, were exceedingly
interesting, and we have only to regret that the
want of space forbids our referring to them at
greater length. The two hours through which tho
evening meeting 'was continued wore thus filled
up with abort, pithy 4 5pecohos, interspersed oc•
eastonally,with a verse of a hymn or a short
prayer.,
At ten o'clock the meeting was dismissed, and
the vast conooureo of Sabbath-school teachers of
the two hundred sobools represented moved slowly
away, having manifested a cheerful willingness
to protract the services to a still later hour, if
desired. The occasion, taken all in all, was ac
knowledged by those present to have been such
es had never been.witnoseed before in this city in
behalf of the Sabbath-school cause.

TUE SPRINGFIELD ANTI-DOUGLAS CON ,
VENTION.
(Special Correspondence of The Preen.)
/11., June 9, 1558.
.P#Wagt itinertaitily a remarkable country. It
extraordinary phenomena of the
greatAt*Salielty : variety. "Tarticularly, , oflate,

Douglasand pro-Leciorapted Convention astonished'
the world at large by; its appearance among reali
ties. Your correspondent will endeavor to draw
a true picture of this great discharge of negotWe
political electricity, that to-day`ton Platte lit the
eapitai of Illinois. '
L.-Having -pald9Ctlyini "v/eiCtetlecenington, " A .
flourishing oily about sixty miles north of Spring
field, 'at the intersection of the Chicago, Alton and
St. Louis and Minis Central roads, ; concluded'
to , take the Tuesday,(Bth) afternoon train' on the
former road, in order to reach Springfibld in time
to witness the manmuvros of the Lecompton forces
from beginning to end. Upon the arrival of the
train at the Bloomington - station; the eyes kr the
crowd of lookers-on were gratified with a peculiar I
sight. • Out of the hindmost oar rushed-a number
of well-dressed individuals—the gentility of whose
deportment, however, proved not to be in strict
accordance with that of their habilimbnts—sub
jecting the assemblage, with apparent eagerness,
to a close scrutiny. They were the Chicago dele
gation to the schitrmatie Convention, led by Charles
Leib,Cook, Carpenter, Moyne, etc , and ihe object
of their search was the discovery of their Bloom
ington fellow-bolters, whom they yearned to look
in their brotherly: embrace. But, alas f; the post
masterial solo who represented the Bloomington
delegation, being of a rather sober disposition,
and not desirous of making a great eclat by e pub
lic exhibition of his Lecompton sympathies, bad
quietly glided into the front car, in order to escape
the enthusiastic demonetration of the affeetions of
his Chicago brethren. -
The individuals engaged in the fruitlesephysiog-,
nominal examination
- presently strove to Niel
the disagreeable, sensation of disappointment by I
enacting a rather unique scene. They ooinmeneed
chasing catch other up and down the platform,
animating their pedal exertions by savage yells,
indulging alternately in amicable .knoak-downs,
flinging, at the same time, their hats; caps; And
coats in all directions, and kicking, rolling, and
fistieuffing about generally— .The Lecompton
brates seemed to•be determined to impress the by
standers with the idea that they wore about at
tending a regular pow-wow. The style of their
sating, at least, very nearly came up to the abo
riginal prototype. Even mon of such physical
amplitude as the notorious ,Leiti were Belied with
the general vertigo,
.and kept their iolumittne
bodies revolving around with wonderful rapidity
and Falstaff-like air. The resonybittnee to the im
mortal " Jack ": wag rendered:morestriking yet,
in the latter instance, by a tremendous rent in
the inexpressible!" of the massive mail agent,
which bore strong testimony to the violence of a
personal renountor that was rumored to have
happened previous to the rarrival at Bloomington,
and exposed the beautifully-rounded proportions
of the calf of the postal. leg. Some equestrian
feats were also performed, the " ridden " as
well as the " rider " being members of bi
pedal humanity. This part of the performances
was announced to be allegorioal—tho "horse"
representing the Chicago. Democrat, John Went
worth's (Long John's) paper, and the "horseman "
the Chicago Tribune.
The power that strengthened' the lungs,of the
performers in so eminent a degree, and rendered
their bodily agility So extraordinary, I,easily
traced to the contents of the oar the party had
appropriated to their solo use. Its interior had
been converted into a Bacchus temple, the seats on
one side having been removed, and • superseded by
'a temporary bar, on and beneathwhieh all the ma
terials for ardent libations in honor of the jolly
god—Bourbon, rye, wine, and champagne—figured
in rehootable quantities. A pile of empty bottles
furnished a clue as to the cause of the rough-and
tumble exhibition. As soon as the train -wasagain
in motion, the company retired into the moving
bar-room to resume the annihilation of innumera
ble juleps, cook-tails, and smashes. rho vocife
rous protestations of their firm and disinterested
belief in the righteousness of the Lecompton
dogma kept apace with the consumption of the
inspiring liquids, and were persisted in to the an
noyance and disgust of the other passengers, till
we had safely landed at Springfield.
Nor were the gallant Lecomptonites inclined to
let the evening pass without affording further il
lustration of their valorous disposition. "Iwo of
the foremost champions in their glorious cause
were bound to convince all of theirintrepid phick.
Francis J. Grund, special envoy to Illinois, sought
and brought about a personal collision with Louis
Ballade, one of the proprietors of the journallatie
Lecompton bivalve, (National Union and Na
ftali& Demokrat.) It was glorious to see Greek
arrayed against Greek. It was gratifying to wit
ness the vigor wit 'which Grund pulled the an
tagonist's nose ! Tho cause of the trans was a
leader in the National Demokrrat anlinadVarig,
---r
although a resident of either Washington oiPhi
%dolphin, had boon elected a delegate to the bo
gus Convention. Schad° objected to this, Be
was jealous of the adroit diplomat. Being ambi
tious, and having a rather high opinion of hi's own
significance, he didn't like the roll of a more
"drummer," while Grand assumed the corporal's
stick. Hence a grudge ; hence the twisting of the
nose. It is to be regretted that the interference
of the bystanders prevented the two worthies
from pummelling each other to their hearts'
eontent. This mutual inflation of blows had been
fully deserved by these contemptible tinto•servere.
Mankind would have hardly felt the loss if they
had thrashed each other out of existenn
The remaining part of the evening was spent in
secret council by the managers, when the pm
gramme of the next day's farce was agreed upon.
Enough of the proceedings of this closet moan
transpired to show the existence of two factional—
one composed of more moderate mon, inclining to
wards conciliatory measures; the other, headel
by leaao Cook and other fire-eaters, being stub
born advocates of persistenee in the bolting mon
wont. The latter prevailed, es the Convention's
actions on the following day proved.
About 10 o'olook the next morning the , fitithfsr
congregated in the Hall of Representatives au
proceeded to organize themselves. John Douirk
erty, who had made himself conspicuous from the
very beginning, as one of the leading conspiratou,
and had enjoyed the doubtful honor of chairtaly
of the Lecompton fizzle on April last, was (+kohl
presiding officer of this Convention, No. 4. Et
opened the performance by delivering himself )r I
a speech which breathed vile submission to powei
and bitter hostility to honesty and consistencyta
illustrated In the course of the Illinois Democra t
delegation to Congress. Tho speaker having
finished, the organization of the Convention we
completed by a re-appointment of all the officerl
and committees elected at .the fragmentary Apr
meeting. On motion, six 'Members were added b
each of tho latter. The committee thus cloned
tuted comprised the very &nonce of official set:.
vility and political egotism, which the Lecomptet
centrovergy fortunately extracted from the real
of the true Democracy of Illinois. 11
A dismission arose, in which Davidson, Cook, an?
others participated, whether or not the Converf
tion should inquire of whom It consisted, before
indicating the polio , to be pursued. The motio:•
to inquire was carried, and a call of the delegate
from the several counties Was made. Delegate:

WAIIIIIMIsOn, Jane 14, 1858 —The President bee
transmitted documents to the Senate, containing the
instructions of Secretary Case to our Minister to Mexi
co, dated the 17th of July,lefiy, in which he says that
the value and importance of a railroad across the
Isthmue of Tehuantepec can ecarcely be over-estimated.
The prospect of the construction of the read has now
become brighter, because Mr. Falconnet. the Tehuan
tepec Company, and the owners of the Garay Grant,
have united their intnreste, and now seek to obtain
from the Mexican Government exalt modification(' In
the Sloe Grant as will secure the construction of the
road. Such modificatione can be obtained, and it is
confidently believed that sufficient capital, energy, and
enterprise will be enlisted to accomplieh the object.
Messrs. Benjamin and Lo vere will proceed to Mexico
for that purpose. The chief drawback is the eontre
vensy between Mr 11100 an; the present compady,
who. however, have possession of the latitmos,
and - have been prosecuting the work at con
siderable expense. It ie hopes that the contro
versy will be amicably fuljueted between the parties
Mr. Forsyth is instructed, on the account or Messrs.
Benjamin and La Sere, to make known to the Mexican
Government their mission, and to give them such
aid in its accomplishment as ho may deem adviaable
and effectual. They may render themselves useful to

a similar recognition to any American citizen or com
pany who has purchased or may purchase the same, fro
or under Falconnet. "We cannot." Secretary Cam adde,
agree that any distinction shall be made In favor of
British subjects over American citizens. Whatever
may be the conflict of claims, the people of the United
Staten demand that a permanent right of way across
the lathmue shall be placed on the same treaty foun

Mr. Forarth, in writing to Secretary Cass. on the
15th of September, 1857, says that in 'expect to privi

eonoded the Government, and ascertained that he
could, for a consideration, obtain conceenions even more
ample than those contemplated in hie Instructionn,
which would have given the virtual protectorate and
military occupation of the transit to the United
Staten. Mr. Forsyth cave that it will be perceiv

Mr Forsyth, addressing a letter to the Mexican Min

certain coacessions to the United States. Ile has,
therefore, nothing to do but to report to his Govern

PHIL ADS LPH lA, Juno 14,1868
The reports of bnninens in all partner the country are
very highly gratifying in the respect that they show
that confidence is steadily reviving among all classes of

actual property, and free from the entanglements and
doubts which fears of the strength or honesty of others
are apt to infuse into the mind, is steadily growing
Thin cannot but be gratifying. Credit, public and pri
vate, in the great instrument by which the miracien of
civilizttion are being wrought in this nineteenth cen
tury. True credit, based upon real wealth, in the great
element, the chief ingredient of all true progress in
civilization and refinement. We can hardly doubt that
