Port an Prince (IJajtl) correspondence to
Jan nary 17, gives ns tho following informationi
'lurid an opportunity the Other day to -visit
jerrrnle, Adx Cayr-s, and Jacmel, the three prln
(put seaports on the loothern lorkof the Island,
vratoti are now in nonunion of the Rebel.
Jesyareall beautiful towns with fine harbors,
landlocked by high wooded mountains, and
..onortcd by a back countrv the finest and
most productive that I ever taw. I saw Gene
tl Brtce, and, as I supoose, his whole army,
arooootLnp probably to about three hnodred men,
Mostly mulattoes, representing families of con
aider Able property and Influence, who only
tolerate the blHck man when they nan use hi in
to ain come political end. (teneral Dries is a
aniome Creole with features entirely French,
and as well-nianuored and erauifiil as one would
iruh to tee. He is twenty-scvon years old;
speaks and writes French clpgantly, and has a
tood deal of literary taste. He is the Vice Pre
sident of the new Southern republic, aud is
klpL-cplrltcd and ambition?. It is said that
ke aspires to the Presidency of the whole
country. , , . .
From Jercmlc we proceeded to Am Cayo,
ln capital of General Dominie, the so-called
President of the fcouth. He is about 65 years
old, a man of moderate ability, who it is thought
was doeUrcd President to second the political
aspirations of jounper men by whom he is
surrounded. From the bet information I could
obtain he could not have had more than 500
soldlcis at Anx Cnjes, who arc armed with
every kind of muikct, pistol aud sword ever
invented. Iwo days before I was there a
skirmifh took place between his troops
and the Pickets (a species of UnytUn
ruerrlllas in favor ot Saluave), which
resulted in considerable loss ot life on both
ides. Two pickets were brought to Aux Cayes,
one with a leg and the other with an arm
kronen, and condemned to be shot. Neither of
Ihcm could stand up at the time of tho execu
tion, and they were accommodated with chairs
lor the occasion. The back country at Aux Cayes
is swarminn with pickets, aud it Is thought
that the place must fall as soon as Salnav
appears in the hurbor with his ships. Jercmle
and Jacmel must share the fate ot this city, and
when they have surrendered the insurrection is
ended, so far as the South is concerned.
For tome weeks past there has been an accu
xnnlatlon of English, French, and Spanish ships
of war In the harbor of Port au-Prlnce, and
many conjectures have been artoat as to the
object oi their coming. At iasi me rruuen
Admiral arrived. What could have brought
him here r Borne said it was to compel by force
of his Runs the payment of the French debt,
-which amounts to about 15,000,000 francs, aud
on instalment oft which is overdue; others
thoncht that his motive was to exact from
General Obevalller, a prominent chief
under saiuave, ana coin na aiming his
forces at Uouaivcs, an apology for
some real or supposed insult to the French Sag.
Whatever may have been the cause of his
coming-, it is cettain that on Thursday or
Friday of fast week he rescued two French
trading vessels from the llajtian corvette 81a
Dave, and towed them into the harbor of .St.
Hare. He also made public declaration at that
port that the blockade there was "null and
void, and that the insurgents fighting uuder
General Saget would be treated by the French
Government as belligerents." It is said that
this proclamation was made on the promise of
fiaget that the North would furnish to France
coffee enough to pay one twelfth part of the
French debt.
ENGLAND.
A Warning to Theatrical Managers.
The following circular has been addressed by
the Lord Chamberlain to the managers of all
the London theatres uudcr his jurisdiction:
The fjord Chamberlain presents his compli
ments to tie manager of the . He hns
learned with regret, from observations in the
press and from otber sources, that there is much
reason to complain of the impropriety of cos
tame of the ladies in the pantomimes, bur
lesques, etc., wnlch are now being performed in
some of the metropolitan theatres. He has
noticed for some lime past that this evil has
been gradually onthe increase; but he has been
most unwilling to interfere iu a m titter which
he considers ought more properly to be left to
the discretion and good taste of the managers
thcajBclve.
Now, however, lhat the question has been
taken up by the press, and public opinion ts
being expressed upon it, he fe.ds himself com
pelled to call the serious attention of the man
agers to the subject; for he cannot but remark
the discredit ihat now justly tails on the stae,
and the objections which are now being raised
against it by many who have hitherto fre
quented the theattes, but who now profess
tneniiehes unwilling to permit the ladies of
their families to sanction by their presence 6UCu
questionable exbibi'.ious.
The Lord Chamberlain, with every anxiety to
promote the iuterests ot the stage, trust9 that
he may confidently appeal to the managers to"
asfist in abating the evil complained of, which
threatens to become a public scandal.
He has purposely addressed these observa
tions in thw form of a rlrrniar to thn manaoer.4
of Ml theatres nnder tis juiUdictioo, without
iinntitinp hi ii mo n r.no !r nurMimlnr. and will
gladly receive frorA then; &Dy observations 6r
suggestions which. tLey may wish to oiler on
-u5 subject.

A correspondent describ'ng the Berkw< lead
lee in Wisconsin savt:-"Thlrtceo beautiful
stalactites depend from ins iow rui, varjiui;

! diaoieier, at the bas. trom three inches to
even inches. Tbeir proportions are symme rl

perfect state of rock formation, and may be.

scrapings of chalk. At the bats of

Jil l bt attachment, the limestone is very per
fect hod bard, In a section three feet wide ex
tending entirely across tbo cave. In wh'kt
manner the separation is made between tbn
Tartous deposits, or when tho necescary nhangij
took place, is more than I am able to determine;
yet true ills that at one time these stalactites
were deeply grooved from tho base down ward,
as they are suspended towards the prit of the
apex, and now these grooves are filled to the
surface with pure lead ore, glittering and beau
tilul. Connected with these deposits and ex
tending over a considerable surface of the roof
is an incrustation twoand a half to three Inches
thick. On tho cones below and tho floor, how
ever, there is a very little mineral. The entire
surface of the walls is bathed continually by a
slow ooEing of water from a crevice surrouud
in?. It is indeed a more beautiful and Interest
ing demonstration than any professor of
chemistry or natural philosophy could hope to
give.''
Foreign Literary Item.
Mr. William Michael Iiossettl is engaged on
a new edition of Shelley's Works and a life of
the poet.
Mr. Robert Buchanan has two works on the
eve of publication: a new poem entitled the
"Book ot Orm: a Prelude to tbe Epic;'' and a
ptose volume of picture and adventure, portions
of which have appeared in the Spectator, entitled
"Hebrides: the Cruise of the Tern through tho
Scottish Mes."
The fifteenth century prose translation of De
Guilcville's "Pilgrimage of the Lite of Man" is
all in type for the Koxbnrghe Club. It was
thought somo time ngo that this translation
might prove to be Chiuicer's, as his "A B C, or
Prayer to the Vireln," was used in It, as if the
same writer translated both the verso and
prose; but so far as a hasty reading of the parts
of the work enable us to judge, its proso is
lighter tban Chaucer's not his, but that of a
fifteenth century writer, The Early English
Test Society should produce at once the verse
translation of De (iuilevllle's work, lor com
parison with this prose oue.
In notes on volcanic phenomena, by Mr.
Mallet and other geologists, attention has from
time to time been directed to the unusual ac
tivity that prevailed, as if a period ot disturb
ance was approaching its maximum. lu his
Dewly published book on Vesuvius, Pro essor
J. Phillips, ot Oxford, adds confirmation to
what has appeared on the subject. He says
that the "whole Vcsuvlan tract is now in a
condition of greaUr frequency of eruption than
in any previous period," and from this and
other facts carefully tabulated, he concludes
that "we are now Id the midst of a period of
more than average struggle with the imprisoned
energy of Fire." This will be alarming intelli
gence for those vho live in terror ot earth
q linker.
The Athpnmtm says: We do not know whether
the similarity which exists between the follow
ing verses by Waller and Leigh Hunt, on com
mon subjects, has been noticed. Tho old poet
thus wrote ' Of the Queen" (Heiirictta Maria):
"The lark ttiat tbituR on lolty boughs to build
Her humble nciH. lies ullent la the Held,
Juut If (Die promise ot a cloudlets day)
Awora smlllDK bids tier r.sn and play,
Tten Blralgut she shows wao uot tor want of voice.
Or power to climb, she made so low a choice;
Kinging she mounts: hr airy wini s are stretched
Towatds heaveu, as It from heaven her note she
fetch'd.
So we. retiring from the busy throng,
Use to restrain the ambition ot our Bona:
But since tbe light that now Informs our age
Jl'eaks Irom the court, laoolgont to her rage.
Thither my muse, like bold Promethens, Dies,
To light her to torch at Oiorlana's eyes."
Thus, Leigh Hunt, "To the Queen" (the Lady
of Ualruora!):
' The lark dwells lowly, madam, on the ground,
And yet his song within tne heavens Is louud;
Tbe basest heel may wound him ere he rise,
Rut soar he must, f r love exalts Ills eyet;
Tbaush roor, b s heart mist loftily be spent,
A nd he sinus free, crown d with the firmament.
A pcet thuB (If love ai d later lame
May warrant him to wear that sacred name)
Hoi ed. In some pause ol birthday pomp aud po verf
juis caroi nugut nave reacu a tne oveiesu
bower."
Mr. Robert Buchanan, the author of "Lon
don Idjls,:' "Undertones," and "Idyls and Le
gends ot Inverburn," gave a reading from his
own poems recently at the Hanover Square
lironip, London. The Atimaum. says: A
numerous audience. Including many literary
celcbtities, assembled. Mr. Buchauan's pro
gramme was divided into two parts, each con
taining three poems. "Tom Dunstnn," "Attor
ney Sneak," and "Willie Baird, or tbo Dominie's
stery," constituted the nrst. the second com
prised "Nell," "The Wake of Tim O'Hara," and
"Widow Mysie, an Idyl of Love and Whisky."
An impictsive style ol deliverv. a voice of con
siderable depth and power, and a certain
command of pathos, are Mr. Buchauan's
chief qualifications as a reader. His voice
is. however, Inflexible and under imperfect con
trol, and bis delivery has a c'aaut-liko monotony
of tone, which, though for a time ellectlve, is
apt when prolonged to become oppressive. Dra
matic energy was displayed in the more pathetic
passages of "Nell" and "Willie Baird." In
Attorney Rneak" the reader adaoted cleverly
his voice to the character of the lawyer, who is
represented as unconsciously betraying nis own
baencs8, lie gave the verses yyUU a hard,
dry fwaViuel', aceompauied by an occasional
Smlra, WUICU lOia oi invuiui-iuuie uuiupinceuty
and self-conceit. The wit and the dcllca'ely
veiled satire of Tim O'Hara were well delivered,
and produced a strong impression upon the
audience. Tim O'Hara was the most success
ful of the selections. Its delivery was more
than once interrupted by applause. Next to it in
popularity came "Widow My6le." Tho archness
of the concluding stanzas of this was very effec
tive. Mr. Buchanan's success in commanding
the sympathies of his hearers U the more re
markable as his poems are scarcely suited to
puunc reading, ningie poems are generally in
one key. and offer no such stronc contrasts of
light and shade as are required for public reci
tation, in "iSPii," lor instance, powcrtui as is
the poem, its gloom is unbroken and funereal.
"Willie Bftlra," too, tender as U its interest,
was less acceptable to the audience than tbe
more broadly-marked humor aod the well
colored description of the Irish Wake. Mr.
Buchanan's reception was very favorable.
Konntng CongresH.
The last illustration of the retrenchment
policy of the House ot Represent atives is the
purchase by the Clerk ol that bod v of combs,
brui-hes, and soap to the amount of'$HOO. The
Clerk Is authorized by law to make such pur
chases as he deems necessary, and his bills
must be approved by the Committee ci Ac
counts, tit which the independent statesman
Bro mall is chairman. The bill for comba and
brushes and soap is now before tbe committer,
and three of its members refuse approve it.
It might bo supposed that $1400 worth of
brushes, combs, uud boap would be tuflicient
to comb, brush, and wash two or three Con
tresses; but It does not appear that they
have breu equally distributed, for many mem
bers comjluiu tha. the.v have not received eiiher
a comb, a brush, or a oiece of soap during the
whole sem-lon. The question is, where did the
articles go? And this is what the tbreo mem
bers of the CouimUti'e on Accounts who refuse
to approve the Clerk's little bill are trying to
find out. X. Y. ihruldCorrespotultnce.
