THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2G, 18G9. THE JUNE MAGAZINES. "THK ATLANTIC" From the paper on "The Hamlet of the Marc," wc quote the following about the actor Bctterton: ThomivB Bctterton was the first rott artint after Bnrbnp;e in, the chunicter of the "mad lover." Once, during Bcttcrton's day, Collcy (libber and Joseph Adtli.toii, Bitting toKethcr in the pit, saw some robustioiiH, periwifr-patcd fel low throw himself Into a rao at the night of the ghost, and the 'fcjcet!itor" modestly iwkcil Win player companion if he thought it natural for ''Hamlet" to fall into Mich a position with liW father's spirit, "which, though it might have astonished, had not provoked him." Both Cibber and Addison joined all contemporary writer in fhantlng Bcttcrton's praises. "Alas," mourned Cibber. after his death, "I never seo Sliake fpearc s plays played by any other, but it draws from me the lamentation of 'Ophelia' 'O, woe Is me, To have seen what I have seen, see what I see.' " Yet Bctterton is described by the pre-Kaphacl-He pencil of old Anthony Aslou as having "an ill ligurc, large head, short, thick neck, stooped shoulders, and long anus. He had little eyes, broad face, a little pock-marked, corpulent body, thick legs, and large feet. HU actions, were few, but just. His voice low and rrtmi bling, yet lie could tune it, by some artful de vice, so that it surprised universal attention even from fops and orange-girls." This was the "Hamlet'' over whom all London went mad. Pid ever so many imperfections come into one grace? What genius must have lived in a man who could so transform and conceal such an array of disadvantages! Bctterton was the son of a cook in the service of Charles I. He went, on the st.ige in UifH, when lie was twenty-four years old. He first played "Hamlet" two years after his debut. His 'Ophelia" was the charming Mistre s Sander son, of whom he was known to be enamored. and the town was as much interested in the real as the mimic loers. They were married shortly after, and the young "Hamlet" found in his "Ophelia" a sweet and devoted wile. She is said to have been the first woman who appeared upon the public stage. Up to her time feminine parts were played by Isiys; and as late as January, Kliil, l'epys re cords: "At the theatre, where was acted Thr Ji(jur'a Jlush, it being very well done. And here the first time I ever saw women come upon the stage." Bcttcrton's power seems to have been greatest in counterfeiting or rather exhibiting the ttronger emotions. The most impressive points of his "Hamlet" were in the closet scene, parti cularly where the prince sees the ghost. While lie talked to his mother in tones of inex pressible tenderness, his horror and his eager desire to learn what the distressed spirit wished him to do "made the ghost equally terrible to the spectator as to himself." Though his complexion was "naturally ruddy una san guine," when his father's shade appeared he turned instantly as "pale as his neck cloth. His whole body seemed affected by a tremor inexpressible, which was felt so strongly by tin lookers-on that the blood seemed' to shudder in their veins likewise." hi the first scene with the ghost no ranting marred liis Umes, but they "seemed to rise lrom breathless amazement into the most tender impatience and the most touching pity, restrained all through by deep filial reverence " But he omitted many beautiful and effective lines, as. ' "Angels and uiim ', ni'a'C defend us!" "What niny this mean, That thou, dead corse, airaln, in complete steel, Hcvisifst thus the glimpses of the moon, Making night hideous?'' These were clearly injurious omissions, but that was the "age in which Cibber patched up liichurd 111 lor the stage, and Dry den rewrote the Tempcsf. At first Bctterton played "Hamlet" in the dress T.f a couvller of Charles IT. Afterwards, in ;he costume of William of Oramrc, with streaming hhoulder-knots, cocked hat, and enormous pow dered wig, walked his short, portly, stooping figure, the "glass of fashion, und the mould of form." Yet he held executors in tears, in awe, in breathless expectancy too intense i.,,' plause. "And for my part." he said. "I think 110 applause equal to attentive silence. For many vears lie was manager as well as tragedian. tVhen Collcy Cibber tirst appeared before ft London audience, he had the misfortune to annoy Bctterton by come delinquency or act of carelessness. At the end of the performance Bntlcrton inquired the name and salary of the offender, and learning that as yet the young actor was receiving no pay, lie directed the busi ness manager to put him down at ten shillings a week, and line him live as a punishment. No wonder Collcy always praised the ladder upon which he first climbed to fame. Bctterton was notably kind and encouraging to young and obscure actors. When Robert Willis went up to London to try his fortune on the stage at a salary of fifteen shillings a week, lie was so over come by the power and dignity of Bcttcrton's "Melantius," in Thr Maid Trairdij. that he . trembled and stammered in hi part. Alter the scene was over, Bctterton taking his hand, said kindly: "loung man, this .fear does not ill become you; a liorse that sets out at the strength ol his speed will soon be jaded." Even experienced actors were overpowered by the genius of Bctterton. Barton Booth, on tirst attempting the part of the ghost, with lielterton for "Hamlet," was struck "with such horror that he could not speak the part." For fifty years, Bettei'ton adorned the stage, and raised it to a higher repute than it had ever iKime. He was frugal as well as ireneronts: dik though his salary was never more than four pounds a week, he saved several thousand pounds for his declining years. But speculation was rife in those days, and he was induced to risk his property hi a commercial venture to tlie Fast Indies, lie lost it all, and old age found him needy. At seventy-four, a benefit was given him, and Mrs. Barry spoke an epilogue by Howe. From her sweet lips rippled the lines: "What he has been, ttionn'i present praise be dumb, Shall haply be a tlieme in limes to come." "Had you withheld your favors on this night, Old Shakespeare's gliost had risen to do liiiu riht." ... "In just remembrance of your pleasures past, He kind, and give li tin a discharge at last ; In peace and ease life's remnant let him wear, And hang liis consecrated buskin there, fuiiJiikij tit the, f., i. tlm hIuiii:" The next year, 1710, he had another benefit, which yielded one thousand pounds an enor mous sum for those days. He appeared in his favoritu character of ".Melantius." and olayed almost with his youthful power, but lie was Buffering so much "from gout that he was com pelled to wear slippers. To lessen the swelling he used an application, which drove the disease to his head, and three days after, the grand old actor was dead. Mrs. Bctterton was immediately allowed a pension from the crown; but she was quite crushed by her bereavement, after fifty years of happy wedded life, and did not survive ' to draw her pension. Bcttcrton's great genius, pure character, and devotion to his chosen ait, rendered him worthy of a resting-place among the illustrious dead, and he was buried in Westminster Abbey, fctcele describes the emotions he felt while wait ing to witness the interment "of ono from whose acting I had received more strong Im pressions of what Is great and noble in human nature, than from the arguments of the most nolid philosophers, or the descriptions of the most charming poets While 1 walked in the cloisters, 1 thought of him with the same concern as if I waited for the remains of a per son who had, in real life, done all that 1 had seen him represent." Most eminent actors of those days aspired to be, like Rhakcsjieare, authors as well. Better ton's original plays did not win him much fume, but his alterations and adaptations of dramas were successful, and many nun of letters wero proud to take counsel of his taste and experience. N) great was his veneration for the memory of Hhakeepcare, that he made a journey through Warwickshire to gather reminiscences i him; and Kowe acknowledged him self indebted to Bctterton for many in cidents related in his life of the great poet, lirvden thanks him for " itiilicioiiHly fop fing tvnlu buudrcd Unto Iroiu iny tragedy of Don ftbattian" perhur the only liisUnce on record of n author's keing grateful to anybody for cutting him down. And l'opo, who was a mere boy- when he met the great actor, con sulted him about bin verses, and painted a por trait of him, which is said to bo still In cxisteuee. It is a precious relic. a picture of the greatest of England's early actors, painted by the poet who stamped himself moro deeply upon his own times than any other English poet has done. I 'o rely ii Ilenm, - A. new ukase, directed against the 1'olish landowners in Russian Poland, has just been issued at St. Petersburg. Since the insurrection these landowners have been forced to pay an nual "contributions" in addition to the taxes paid by the oilier inhabitants of the empire. Hitherto these "contributions," which have varied from 8 to !0 per cent, on the landowner's income, have been levied by the military autho rities as fines, but they have now been converted by the new ukase, into a permanent tax recover able by the ordinary collectors. The landown ers are not to la; taxed according fo a fixed rate, but are to pav among tbein a contribution of y,r00,)0 roubles (.1400,000) a year to the impe rial exchequer. As the number of Polish land owners is yearly diminishing, no Pole being now allowed to acquire land in the 1'olish provinces of Russia, the effect of this arrangement will be to impose a higher tax on each landowner every year. The rale of diminution may be estimated from the. lact that, in 1801 CO per cent, of the land belonged to Pole, while in 18'iS they were in possession of lis per cent. only. (ieneral Todb-ben, says the Wirxl of St. Petersburg, has prepared a plan for converting KielT into a strong lortress capable of holding from r0,0;0to 00,000 men. This plan hasbc.cn approved by the Covcniinent, and steps are now being taken for currying it out. The (ieneral states in his report that the fortifications of Kiel! are at present so weak that a hostile corps from Oalicia or the Black Sea conld penetrate without dilliculty into the heart, of the. empire before a sulhcieiit army could be placed so as to prevent its: further progress. He therefore considers it absolutely necessary to make so important a strategical point as Kiefl a strong garrison fortress. The experiments lately made by the Bir mingham Chamber of Commerce as to the non liability of percussion caps to explode n jnrts.se merely confirmed the results of all previous ex perience on this subject- results which are per fectly consistent with theory. The fact is, as has been, over and over again established, that percussion caps will not explode in hulk. . One cap may explode two. three, or more, fifty or a hundred; but each explosion is, so to speak, in dependent of the other. It is not communicated from one cap to another, and the explosion of so many caps at oece is merely the fortuitous concurrence of a number of explosions of single caps which have been subjected at one and the same time to similar or separate influences. An explosion of this elu.racter is not of a formida ble character. In the course of the trial which took place a few years ago with refer ence to the destruction by nitro glycerine of the steamship "European at' Colo)!, an attempt, was made to fix the blame on n small iWsi'O percussion caps, but it was effectually (k'.fi.'Mtcil rij the evidence which was foriiieoififng on tin: side (it the cups, and with which the conclusions to be ,!.":' wu Iroui the late experiments are in perfect accord. In these ex periments boxes containing caps were placed in the fire, and there allowed to remain until one by ono the caps burnt out: a lialf-hundvedwcight of caps were placed in a red-hot chamber, w ith out giving rise to any explosion; 50,000 caps were placed in an ordinary packing case inside a furnace, but no explosion occurred; heavy masses of iron were allowed to fall on parcel containing each 5000 caps, without producing an explosion; a bag containing 120,001) was laid on the rails of tl-ie Loudon and North Western Railway, and an engine passed over it without causing an explosion: and even 100,000 caps in two wooden packing cases placed on the butlers (not spring) of an engine, and struck by a train of several trucks, moving at twelve miles, an hour, gave no explosion.
