THE DAILY EVMING TELKG R APIl. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1866. RISTORI AS "DEBORAH' Last evening M'rae Ristori made Lt bixth appearance before a rhlladolphia audience. The house was Tcry poor, boin" scarcely half full. We write this with much regret, for talent of such a high order as she possesses should crowd the Academy nightly. Tho drama of Deborah, although flncly writ ten, and rising in some parts to the highest excellence of dramatic composition, is not one calculated to impress an audience into that hushed Attention so necessary for the effective representation of a play of this nature. The trivial lighter scenes occur too frequently, and nrc too JeuRtuy. The emotions roused by the tit nation of "Deborah, the Jewess," have time to subside, and the Interest gathered around the character Is marred by the sensclces bubble of tho noisy villaprcrs. Ristori's impersonation of the napless Jewess was natural, forcible, mi impassioned. Her love scenes with "Albert"' were exquisitely touching and tender; at the same timo they were entirely free from that mawkish sentimentality which too often, on the fstago, usurps the place of profound and real lcel ng, giving us only a counterfeit, and often almost disgusting, sem blance of this sublimest passion of our nature. In Ristori's acting there is ever a delicate, inde scribable womanly modesty. It surrounds her alwajs, like a divine balo. It Is the breath of a chabte soul. In the utter abandon of the in enFfst passion it is there. Unlike too many of her piofession, she never appeals to the grosser nature of her audience never by look or gesticulations overstep the sweet barrier her Innate feniiulne purity draws around her. The cbahtest of her sex need fear no outrage, by look, or tone, or express'.on, to that perfect purity and refinement which is the "angel guard" of true womanhood. In the third act of the drama, in the soliloquy nmougst the tombs in the village church yard, it Is impossible to conceive anything beyond the broken-hearted pathos and wild despair Ristorl threw into the line "Ha ehe t 'ho fatto, O Dio, she mi oreaiti !" And again, all the bitterness of a crushed and outraged heart found voice in the agonized re proach "JDenaro ai piedt ml Rotto, denaro per qnesto cnor!" We can imagine nothing inore insignificant and contemptible than the character of "Albert." And, as the play proceeds, we involuntarily congratulate the peerless JewesB, that through no matter what fiary ordeal she escapes a union with such a bundle of negatives. In the last scene when, as the weak and faithless "Albert" leaves the church where he has just plighted a perjured and wavering heart to a village maid of his father's choice, ' Deborah" appears before him as aa accusing angel, and the pent-up torrent of her bitter wrongs bursts forth like an avalanche, bearing all before it into this bcene Ristori threw a strength of scorn, an intensity ol despairing sarcasm, and a terror of malediction we have never seen equalled. The abiect lover seemed to shrink and wither beneath the blast of pas sion which swept, Sirocco-like, through the soul of this woman whom he had so little known, so deeply injured. The imposing gran deur of her attitudes, as she hurled upon his bowed head the triple curse of Israel unto Ebab, was awe-inspiring in the intensity of its feariul anathema. In beautiful contrast with the above, is her meeting with "Albert's" child five yecrs later the gush of softening tears with which she hears from the little one that it bears her own ;name " Deborah." The ice fetters unlock themselves irom ber heart, and, with "the blessing of the One God, who is the God of all," leaves them " II is peace forever." Ristori is always true to nature. Never in any instance does she, for "stage efTect," sacrifice the true principles ot her art. With Bn undi vided worship she bows before "Great Nature's Altar," and gives us, fresh from the heart, the heart-pictures of a living, breathing life and beauty. AMUSEMENTS.

Occasionally we coma acroas mounters in human form, whoso actions are such as to make usdouottbe wisdom ol creating such tout roies on the body of humanity. There wasone case in particular that came to our notica yesierday. It was that ot a Uerman, named Adam Huflwood, who, in the absence of its mother, entered a bouse at Fortlotb and Ludlow street, and attempted nn Rffault ot an outrageous cuaraoter npon a little child, only live years old. The mothor, alter a few minute' absence, returning to the bouno, shrieked out murder and called for help, when lluflmood ran out, and running Into the rear entrance of Cedar Hall, at Fortieth and Market streets, ran through that build ing, and out the front door into Market stroet. He ran a short distance up Market street, and was caught by a police offloor. He taken before Alder man Allen, and after a hearing in the case he was committed to answor. Philadelphia Artists ost the Con tinkkt. By private letters irom Paris to December 2, we hear that our landscape painter, Mr. rnoraas Moran, is hard at work upon bis large pic Aires of 'The Children of the Mountain" and "fbe Last Arrow."

Onr friend Claghorn is about to take bis depar nre lor tho Kast and Egypt, where he is going to spend tho winter. He looks well, and boams with his usual good nature and spirits. A Young Scamp. A young colored boy, only ten years old, named Edward J. Korfin, and a companion, went inio a house in Clarke street with a piteous appeal to be a lowed to warm their trozoa lingers and toes at the fire. The lady ot the tioas kindly gave fiem chairs, and seated thorn near tie fire. For a while they sat there quietly, and finally the lady left the room in which tut y were sitting and went into anotnor partot tuo noue. ine youuet rascals, as soon as she had lolt. got Dosscssion of a pocket-book containing a smal' sum and a silver imit-xuiie, and tnen put out Tne iruit unite was Eawued at a piaoe in Seventh street for fifty cents. d ard J.

A man by the name of Henry Kii by was arrested for commit ting an a-sanlt and battery npon tne proprietor of tbe Columbia House, a drinking saloon near Eigbtu and Kaoe streets. It appears that Kiiby got into difficulty with him in regard (to some drinks, and from words they ptooeeded to the knock-down argument, in wmcn mmy suoceeaou lu' convmo lug" tbe ubhean ol bis error. But there Is an old saying, that "a man convinoed against his will ia had Kirby ariesied, and taken before Recorder Keou, who beta mm in 'ti Daii to answor at Court tho charge of assault and battery.
