Last night's performance ol UamUt, at the Winter Garden,' was one lotur tvb? remembered. The return of Edw in Booth to '.he stage, alter a prolonged absence lu pnrt occasioned, we may presume, by the md clrcinnHtances which brought his family name into prominence in connection with tiie closing calamity ol toe late "war whs made the oecusiou tor a most enthu siastic demonstration ot sincere w elconie on the part ot those oi' the preut iii-lisi's friends who succeeded in gaining a foothold withiu the walls of the theatre. It was lelt that under the peculiar, unfortunate circumstances ol his position, tins estimable citizen and honored plaver de-erved an expres sion of sympathy and a heartiett erecting troiu the public that would lu some measure encou rage him to resume the round of his professional duties. So universal was thij sentiment that it needed no concerted action to crowd the theatre upon the opening night of the Shakespearian season with au audience that fairly represented the wealth and intelligence ol the city, and which eagerly awaited the tir't opportunity tor bestow iug upon booth one of the most remarka bly spontaneous ovations ever extended to an actor. , The extraordinary warmth or this magnificent demonstration was in part due to the fau, that the public sense of decency had been re cently outraged bv a most brutal attack upon Booth's lair lame lu the Herald, which was fol lowed by another even mora atrocious and in cendiary in character published in the PlaybVl a sheet whQe disgraceful existence terminated with the number containing this lasi shock 10 the popular sensibilities1. The desire to indorse Hooth, and resent the Ilira'd's 'unparalleled insult, was last nisrht up permost in the minds of all clarses. People unac customed to going to tbe theatre Hocked to the Winter Gardenfas a mutter of duty, to sustain by their presence and applause a. gentleman who had been so grossly wronged. The crowd was immense, of course, but as orderly and quiet as if at church. A cordon of police appeared at an early hour in the vestibule of the house, and those composing it were ? laced in various positions by the Captain of the Ifteer.th Precinct. Their services were not needed, however, the unauimity of feeling being too apparent to permit ot any handful of evil disposed persons lrotn seeking to create a dis turbance. Mr. Stuart had announced that the curtain would rise considerably earlier than n?unl, but when the tine orchestra, under Mr. Robert Stoepel, began the "Hamlet Overture" (com posed by the leader) there was scarcely a vacant npot to be tound in the houe, and it seemed as if the number of persons standing was as great as those whose good fortune had placed seats at their disposal. It is in the second scene of the first act that "Hamlet" is first discovered seated near the throne in the audience-chamber of the palace at Elsinore. Upon the opening of this scene the enthusiasm broke forth, and surely uch a scene was never before witnef-sed in a theatre. The applause burst spontaneously from every part of the house. The men stamped, clapped thoir hands, and hurrahed continuously; the ladies rose in their seats and waved a thousand hand kerchiels; and for lull Ave minutes a sceue of wild excitement forbade the progress of the play. Mr. Booth was at first overcome by the tre mendous ovation. His head dropped low upon his breast, aud hi. frame shook with, emotiou. The huzzas continuing, and even gathering force and volume as they were prolonged, he arose from his chair and bowed repeatedly. In a momem or two more the agreeable tumult subsided as spontaneously as it had begun, aud the 7lay proceeded. At the close of every act tbe enthusiasm burst forth anew, and Mr. Booth was compelled to cross the stasre under a tire of wreaths and bou quets, aud saluted by the frantic waving of hand kerchiefs aud hats aud the mighty cheers of the multitude. It was at the close of the third of these half dozen or more distinct ovations that a galleriau, whose sense of justice might well qualify him for a position on the bench or in the jury-room, demanded "groans for 'he New York Rruld." This mild but pertinent request awakened a storm ot hisses and indignant groaning of the kiud peculiar to political meetines iu the vicinity of election days. After that cheers were pro posed for the party w ho originated the idea of rebuking the recipient of the recent Maretzek letters. It is needless to say that the necessary cheers followed by a sturdy "tiger," were promptly forthcoming. Of the performance itself we can speak satis factorily in a very few words. Mr. Booth acted with never so much careful ease and precision, readiug with admirable effect, and euterlng more fully than ever into the business of the scenes. He seemed ambitious to surpass his own best eflorts, and without beiug prejudiced by too fully sharing 1he enthusiasm of the occasion we may say that, in our own opinion, this wa truly his most brilliant illustration of his most admired character. In the first scene with the Ghosl, iu the inter view with Potonius, in the play-scene and at its conclusion, he acted with consummate finesse, and bet raj ed a warmth ot passion and a depth of true emotional power tar beyond his own foimer grand portrayal. The full merit of this exquisite perlorraance cannot be conveyed in a few hastily written sentences strung loosely together at the final fall of the curtain. Its effect upon that vast and Intent audience best indicates the intense humanity, the eloquence, the sterling vigor of the noble characterization. It seemed alter the first long outburst of ap plause had died away, that the actor had caught the enthusiasm of the hour, and was freshened to his work thereby. Mr. Booth was capably supported. Mr. Charles Barron took the Dart of "Laertes :" Mr. W. Taylor that of the "Gho-t;" Mr. C. K. MaBon that of the "Kine;" Mr. W. A. Donaldson that of "Horatio " while Mrs. Marie W'ilkins appeared for the first time at this theatre as the "Queen;" and Miss Ellie Gernion as "Ophe lia." Mr. John Dyott played "Polonius." A couple of uew scene? t'.ie "King's closet," and another have boen added since the tragedy was presented last winter, and the entire set is therefore now wanting in no particular. "Hamlet'' will, of course, be continued for a considerable period, although it is in contem plation to have Mr. Booth appear iu other char acters of his fine repertoire during hi3 present engagement.

ACTION AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF WAR DA MAGES LAID AT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL LARS. Sltrkme Court Chambers. Before Judge Sutherland Joseph II. Maddux vs. Edwin M. Stanton. The arrests by militpry process, now that the war Is over, are causing somewhat of a stir in our civil courts. The preseut action may be considered a test as to the liability of Go vernment officers for any arbitrary measures that may have been exercised during the pro gress ot the war. In the suit about to be tried, the facts, accord ing to the complaint and answer, are as follows: On or about the 18th of April, 1H(;4, Mr. Joseph H. Maddox was ai rested in Baltimore, by order of the Secretary of War. The charges alleged against him were that he, in company with M. E. Martin and J. F. Manahan, held unlawful in tercource with the Rebels, in the transportation cl goods, illicit correspondence, etc., written evidences beini: shown to prove the fact. That on those charees he was confined at Camp Hamilton, Fortress Monroe, until the 8th of June following, and again arrested on the lGth of March, isi;5, being this time confined some ninety-Dine davs. Pmlntin" was arrested on these occasions under tbe name of James Brown. Wnile thus confined he alleges that a largo quan tity of tobacco belonging to hun ana placed at Fredericksburg, Virginia, tor safe keeping, was det-troyed by orders of tiie defendant. It is also alleged in the complaint that he re ceived permission from President Lincoln to purchase this tobacco In Richmond, and that he was actintr solely under executive authority. He claims that in consequence of the sudden and unlawful st izure of his person, being prevented lrom having intercourse with friends and coun sel, he has been materially injured bath finan cially and phvsicall.y, and seeks lor damages to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. Secretary Stat ton, in his answer, savs that he is not a resident of the city of New York, but of Washington. D. C. That the plaintiff was arrested tor violation of the Articles ot War, Jand was afterwards discharged on parole after giving proper security for his appearance when re quired. That at the time of his arrest war existed, and Baltimore was under martial law, aud that plaintiff was taken in custody by the Piovos-t Marshal of that city, aud not by any command of the respondent. The case came up in Court yesterday on a motion of ex-Judge Cowles to 'strike out the whole or a portion of the answer. Ex JudeeNPierpont, on tbe part of the Secre tary of War, opposed the motion. The points ot law governiue this branch of the subject were argued at some lencth. Judce Sutherland reserved his decision. While Secretary Stanton was in this city some months since a process was perved upon him which bi ought the case belore our Courts. N. Yf Herald. HATTERS OVER THE RIVER. Camden County Bible Society.

An Interesting Occasion. Yesterday afternoon Mcsrs. Massey, Collins A Co. oponed their immense brewery, at Tenth and Fillnrt, in order to give the public an opportunity to disco ver the mystery or ale aud porter manufacturing. This, we believe, is the most extensive brewery in tbe United States, and among the first es tablished in this city. After the visitors had in spected tho establishment to their satisfaction, they were invited to partake of a tln repast and some specimens of the liquids which were so abundant on all sides. When the cloth waM re moved. Frederick Falrthorue, Esq., in a neat and graceful ppeech, proposed the health of Mr. Mussey, to which that gentleman responded, giv ing a number of intere-timr statements in regard to fheri-e and growth of the brewing trade in Philadelphia. Mr. Masey, n is well known, is one of our oldest and wealthiest citizens, and has made the manufacture of malt liquors the study of his life. Mr. M.is-ey was followed by George L. Bu;:by and others, m terms highly compliniei.tory ol the business energy and enter prise ol the firnu School Decisions. The Department ol Common Schools recently made the following decitlons, which will be Interesting alike to parent and pumls: It is not letral, In any case, to keep schrols open on Salurdavs. Scholnrs whose parents have a legal re?tdence in one dis trict cannot legally attend the schools of an other disrict merely by going in that district to work for their board, with the intention of attending school, and returning to tho residence of their rarents when tbe school has closed. Chrl'tmas-dny, Washington's blrthdav, Fourth-of-July, and Thanksgiving-dny aie legal holi days, and when these occur on an ordinary school day, they aie to be observed by closin'or school, and the teacher is to write on the roll book the name of the holiday, in tho column under the proper date, and count the day as if school had been open. If other holidays are taken without the consent of the proper board, the time is tobe made up at the end ol the term. Commendable. On the night of the fire at Sixth and Chesnut streets the Florence Sew ing Mac hine Company's store, at No. 6110 Ches nut street, was deluged with water through the carelessness of a person leaving a spiggot turned on in one of the upper rooms. The loss sus tained by the Florence Company amounted to about one thousaod dollars, besides causing a serious disturbance to the business. On hearing that Howard & Co.'s Express were looking for a temporary locution tor their money business, Mr. G, G. Evans, the aeent for the Florence Sewing Mat h ue Company, immediately, and without taklae time to deliDcrate, tendered the use of a part of bis store io the Express Compa nies until such time as they could locate else where. This promot and generous conduct of Mr. Evans is de9ervinp of commendation, as it must, to some exten1, derange and iuterlcro with his own business, etc. etc. Railroad Accident Miraculous Es cape. The pa'sremrerj on the train trom Lancas ter forthis city, on fne-dav.were detained several hovrs by au nccident which occurred at the bridge over Vull-y creek, n?ar . Downinetown. The train slacked 'up to toss the bridge, and when the steam was applied the wheel of the water tank struck the tank, let out the water, and threw it trom the track. On examination it was found that the axle of the tank wheels was broken, and the whee!s bad kept the track and passed over the bridge, which Is lone, and sixty or seventy feet h1h, without au axle ! The pas sengers were wholly ui.conscious of the perilous ride they were maUinc over that bridge until the dancer was over. Slaughter of Sheep. One of the cars of a freight train on the Pennsylvania Ra lroad. near Pnrktsburg, Chester county, broke an axle a duv or two since. The car was loaded wita fat sheep trom the West, bound to this city. The next car was also loaded with sheep; the cars were double-decker', and contained lour hundred head. Many of the sheen wi re killed by the accident, and others so badly wounded that thev were slauphtered on the spot. The killed and slaughtered amounted to oue hundred and twenty -five. Queer WEATnER.
