OIIR CROW. I ItOH BYRON. ©nr choir would scarcely be .excused Even as a band of raw beginners; All mercy now roust be refused To such a set of croaking sinners. If David, when his toils were ended, . Had heard these blockheads siug before him, To us his psalms hnd ne’er descended, In furious mood he would have tore ’em. Hie lackless Israelites, when taken By certain cruel tyrauts' order, Were asked to sing, by joy forsaken, On Babylonian’s river's bolder. Oh ! hnd they sung in notes like these, Inspired by stratagem or rear, They might have set their hearts at case, The devil a soul had stayed to hear. No grumbling bull or growling boar Is uceded while our basso thrives; No Screaming loon need wake the air While our soprano’s throat survives. , He snarls and snorts and smifflcs through, As though the notes had bit and stung him ; She aims to hit the farthest pew, And show the Voice they have got among em. And so she drawls in barbarous time, f Prolongs her shrieks and sounds appalling; Each note a fraud, each yell a crime, Each hymn a masß of hideous squalling. Our alto, wheezy, crude and flat, Explodes in wild, sepulchral tones; Now emulates the midnight cat, Now chills the soul with dismal groans. Our other alto, bright and sweet. Sings only when the notion takes her, Or when her bean is in his seat, Or when the sense of duty mSkcß her. One tenor, with a spacious nose, Fills that, and thinks his duty done, No matter how the organ blows, Nor how the frantic metres run. Another rolls his milky eyes, As though the roof gave inspiration; Alas ! If heaven should hear his cries, He’s doomed to Instant strangulation. And then the being who presides At all thiß whooping, frightful row, The organ man whose form bestrides This Babel, built the Lord knows how— His sole endeavor seems to be To test the bellows blower’s wind, To break the heart of harmony, With all hiß soul and strength combined. And so he plucks the noisiest stops, And bangs away with feet and muscle, TUI when the game is up, he drops Undone and beaten with the tussle. And meanwhile we, the heirs of Zion, The chosen ones—the meek and lowly— Jtfoet listen as thougli Judah’s lion Were making oil this roly-poly ! For me, I hate the cursed noise, The usual psalms, the orgaft’s clatter: J can’t discern angelic joys In such a crash and crush of matter. J long to pull the basso’s nose! To teU those females what’s decorum; 1 ache to tread the tenor’s toes, And flog the organ man before ’em. UTERAEY AND AET ITEMS, THE I'SESCH STAGE. Bachel-IJie Greatest French Actress. The era of the Second Empire has hitherto sot been distinguished for the appearance of new first-class dramatic talents, although the works of the so-called new classical school of dramatists and the authors of the modern social dramas impose upon the actors by far less arduous tasks than both the classical and romantic tragedies did. The great Rachel, the hot-blooded and almost demoniac per former of the part of Roxana and the wild songstress of the Marseillaise, belongs partly to this era, but only as a phenomenon, fading and departing alone as it had come. She had no rivalß, no successors, she was a genius, hut came too late. Genius will always j triumph, but these triumphs may be fruitless j if such a genius endeavors to resuscitate what I is dead and buried. The emancipa- j tion of the tragedy from the narrow ' and restrictive rules of the old classical j school was the well-justified motto of the ; new school of French poets, which, notwith- | Standing the monstrosities of the romantic j period ot storm and stress, represented the 1 necessary progress in the development of - French literature. Suddenly Rachel ob- j structed the path of this progress; a puff of j her breath, and the shades on the banks of j ttie Acheron of classical poetry revived; an impassioned ardor pervaded the hollow, con- ' ventional pathos; the antique spirit of the Greek models penetrated, like a torrent of ; molten lava, into the molds of their imitators, ) and the three unities of Aristotle, whieh had ■ long since been felt to be irksome obstacles; seemed to become once more the vigorous wings of concentrated action and passion. Corneille and Kaciae conquered over Victor Hugo and Alfred de Vigny; for what was wanting to Ueepr genius was made up by the genius of the artiste. There was grandeur, Brilliancy and impassioned warmth in her acting. But it was the grandeur, brilliancy and warmth of the setting sun. . BACHKL AND JANIN. A genius that was able to achieve such a ahd fird'the heart of the French •peo ple in so extraordinaiy a manner, could not bnt be a great and most marvellous one. For Rachel was of short stature and rather ugly, seemingly asthmatic, of ordinary appear ance, and even trivial in her language, when, a girl of eighteen, she made, in 1838, her first debut at the Theatre Franyaia. She had already played live parts without making an impression on the audiences, and without dieting a single favorable and encouraging word from the critics; finally, Jules Junin, ttie King of Parisian feuiUetonisles, saw her in Corneille’s Horaces, and said at once that Rachel was the most wonderful little girl whom the present generation had ever seen on the stage, lie wrote in his Monday arti cle in the Journal den Debuts: “She possesses the divine spark of genius, illuminating everything around her. No sooner does she step upon the stage than she looms up as a giantess, her form becomes that of Homer’s heroes, her head is raised her breast expands, her eyes kindle, her ges ture is, as it were, a sound proceeding from her soul; her words, full of the tumultuous passions of "her heart, penetrate into the dis . tance and die away. And thus she strides along in Corneille’s drama and spreads terror and dismay about her. Passion, majesty, grandeur, nothing is foreign to her. Here is heaven and earth for this wonderful child. She was born in the realm. , of poetry aud knows all itß most secret and hidden spots; she reveals all its lairy-like mysteries. The actors who play with her are thunderstruck With this audacity; ancient tragedy breathes more hopelully.” In effect, this prophetic criticism said ail thatcould be, and alter ward was said, about Rachel. XiACIIEL UNDKIi 'IIIK fcKi_‘ONl» KMPIItE de Wolzogcn, one of tfie most saga cious, keen-eyed observers ami critics nor ’ trays Kacbel ns she was in iBr,:s, when the Becpnd Empire had been proclaimed. She plhyed at that time -Virginia, Itoxuna ftOfl . Adrienne ' Lecouveur. “Furrows and •’ he says, “commenced their ijpjpttdent encroachments' upon this marble face, Such vestiges of mature years, were, confined, however, to the lower portion of Rachel's head; they left intact the forehead on which they are first to be seen. Her beautifully chiseled nose began to assume somewhat marked outlines; only her neck,. her arms,. her waist, and her splendid, exuberant raven hair did their duty , still as perfectly as her flashing, glorious eyes aud her organ so susceptible of the most varied modulations, and only sometimes remarkable for the some what too defiant and coquet-ish manner in which she used it. But she was, after all, a French woman, and had to strive for power ful effects. A pity it was that she sought these effects principally in violent contrasts, and thereby often produced impressions more piquant and terrible than beautiful and aesthetic. On that evening (in the role of Virginia) jjlte wept, for instance, with in- but at the same time she in veighed against Appius Claudius, the seducer, with the ferocity of a hyena, and caused the audience often enough to shudder and tremble. As a matter of course, the Parisians ap plauded those scenes more boisterously than any others.” ILACIIEL’S INFLUENCE ON TIIE FRENCH STAOE. Rachel played no part in any drama of the romantic school but that of Tisbie, iu Victor Hugo’s Angelo. Tbe first great part which she created was. Ponsard's Jxucrecc, and •Scribe’s" AdHcnni Leeouveur, which, was written for her, was one of her most masterly performances; but even in this part she pro duced the greatest impression by Racine’s verses, which she hurled at the duchess like thunderbolts. However, she was inimitable, not only as a fury of hatred, but also as a passionately loving girl. Wolzogen says’: “Never shall I forget the inimitable tender ness, the fragrant and truly heavenly grace aud delicacy with which she recited, in the second act, before the young hero, Lafon taine'B fable, Lea deux Pigeons, as an allu sion to her tender attachment to him.” Rachel founded no school of her own, as otherjgrent actors and actresses did, nor did the nuisance of viitueosliip in dramatic mat ters, which she cultivated and fostered so much, strike root in France; on the contrary, it was buried with her. Her starring tour in the tow'us and provinces and abroad by which she tried to increase her regular in come of 42,<100 francs, deprived the Theatre Francois, especially during the Second Em pire, only too olten of her co-operation, though she achieved European and traus- Atlantic triumphs by these tours. Iu turning her vacations to account, she displayed the feverish, avaricious -agerness which is pecu liar to many great artistes, but which brought about her premature death. During her va cation in 184‘J, .she played in the course of ninety days, in thirty-four different cities, the leading part in no less than seventy four tragedies of five acts. In I 8. r >3 she went to Russia, and received from the intendant of the Imperial Theatre lor the short time she played at St Petersburg the enormous sum of 400,000 francs. Her trip to the United States in 1835 was a failure. Scarcely three years later, on the 3d of- January, 1858, she died of consumption, at the beautiful watering-place at Cannes. Since that time the best. Parisian actors have disdained this system of traveling virtueoship which, if carried to greater lengths, would prove the ruin of all good theatres. It was Rachel’s special policy to surround herself, during these starring tours, with contempt ible actors and actresses, that her own lustre might shine the more radiantly. Adelaide Ristori pursues the same policy, which is evidently an insult offered to the public, and should not be tolerated. Madame Ristori never ventures to appear in the midst of her miserable stock company in Paris nor in the large cities of Italy. Why does -she do so in the United States, where she has been rewarded more gener ously than anywhere-else ? Rachel was even jealous of her by far less talented sister, Rebecca, when that young girl, who died at so early an age, made an effort to conquer the favor of the audiences of the Theatre Franeais. For awhile - this, extraordinary genuis was allowed. But soon the harmo nious ensemble, to which the Theatre Fran cois is indebted for its great name, reasserted its rights. The ancient tragedy died with Rachel; she resuscitated it; now it has be come as dead aDd soulless as it was. To day, the tragedies of Corneille and Staeine leave the audiences cold and indifferent, though it is fashionahle yet to manifest a cer tain fictitious enthusiasm for them. Tabic Talk. In a very scarce book, Hal’s “Parochial History of Cornwall,” published at Exeter in 1750, mention is made of Killigrew, the celebrated Master of the Revels temp. Charles 11., though he never was formally installed as Court Jester. The following anecdote will show that, at all events, he deserved the ap pointment, even though he did not get it. When Louie XIV. showed him his pictures at Paris, the King pointed out to him a pic ture of the Crucifixion between two portraits. ■“That on the right,” added his Majesty, “is the Pope, and that on the left is myself.” “1 humbly thank your Majesty,” replied the wit, “for tbe information; for though I have often heard that our Lord wan crucified between two thieves, I never knew who they were till now.” A Eveeyiiody knowgjhe story of Gunter,the pastrycook. He was mounted on a runaway horse with the King’s hounds, and excused himself for riding against Alvanley by saying, “O, my lord, I can’t hold him; he’s so hot.” “Ice him, (tunter, —ice him!” was the con soling rejoinder. When Count D’Orsay first came to Eng land us a very young man, and was about twenty-two jeats of age, he was invited to dine at Holland House, where he was seated next to Lady Holland herself, who supposed that the handsome stranger was a shy young man, awe-struck by her majestic sel fishness. Owing to a considerable abdomenal development, tier ladyship was continually letting her napkin slip from Her lap- to the ground, aud as often as she did so, she smiled blandly, but authoritatively, on the French count, and asked him to pick it up. He politely complied several times, but at last, tired of this exercise, tie said, to her great surprise—“ Would it hot lie better,, madam, for me to sit under the table, so that I eau pass you the napkiu more rapidly?” Old Mudutiio Rothschild, mother of the .mighty - capitalists, attained the uge of ninety eight; her wit, which was remarkable, aud her intellectual facilities, which were of no common order, were preserved to the end. In her lust illness, when surrounded by her ltimily, her physician being present, she said in a suppliant lone to the latter, “Dear doe tor, try to do something for me.” “Madame, what can 1 do? 1 can’t make you young again.” “No, doctor,. I don’t want to be young again, but ( want to continue to grow old. faOMK years ago, Mr. Lomax, of Netley, in burrey, and the late Lord King, the father of the pi client Karl Lovelace, were walking on tlie lawn at Net U-y, and, great cronies as they were, they were deep in the discussion,of po-, litics, scandal and pausing events, or.such topics as in the year on or about 1838' wore 1 available to ycutiljuiou, and likely to interest 1 men of their standii|g, Suddenly a yQjce, i considerably imbued with the graceful' taint 1 usually on the tongue of a native of the Eme rald Isle, sounded close to the elbow of Mr. the:daily evening bulletin —Philadelphia, Saturday, September 21,1867. Lomax, and in a whining tone those syllables prayed for i’the laste taßte of a bit of vittcls.” Startled out of propriety, and turning short round upon a tall beggar-man, and without much choice of expression, Mr. Lomax told the suitor for charity “to go to—,” thun deripg forth, at the same time, “that he had relieved such a constant succession of beggars, that he had resolved to do so no more. As Mr. Lomax made this annunciation, he and his friend Lord King' faced about to take another turn on the lawn, and the Irish beg gar-man, leaning on his stick, came face to lace with them. ' “Lord love yer honor," said the beggar, “is it to you bid me go? I’ve just corned from it.” Mr. Lomax, amused with the cool, sly twinkle of the old man’s eyes, as he stated whence he had so immediately come, asked him, iu a more good-natured’ tone of voice, “Well, what were they doing there?” “Down on their knees, they wub,” replied the beggar man, “every mother’s son on ’em, a praying for tbe arrival of Mr. Lomax, who, they said, had long been due, aud a-swearing as he’ll give ’em a shillin’ all round iu the way of drink to pay his fixatin’, as soon as ever he come,” “Here, you old humbug,” said Mr. Lomax, laughing, giving him a guinea for his wit, “that’s better than the shilling, should you be there to meet me.” Joseph Jkkyll was at the same time the brightest wit and the most shameless punster of Westminster Hall in the reign of George 111. One of his best displays of brilliant im pudence was perpetrated on a Welsh Judge, who was alike notorious for his greed of .office, and his want of personal cleanliness. “My dear sir,” Jekyll observed, in his most amiable manner, to this most un amiable personage, “you have asked the minister for almost everything else, why don't you ask him for a piece of soap and a nail-brush.” Loud Alvani.ey wrote to a friend, “I have no credit with either butcher or poultererjbut if you can put up with turtle and turbot, I shall be happy to see you.” Amongst Lord Eldon’s humorous answers to applications for preferment should be remem bered his letter to Dr. Fisher, of the Charter house : oh one side of a sheet of paper, “Dear Fisher, I cannot to-day give you the pre ferment for which you ask. I remain, your sincere friend, Eldon. Turn over;” aud on the other side, “I gave it to you yesterday.” This note reminds us of Erekine’s reply to Sir John Sinclair’s solicitation for a subscrip tion to tbe testimonial which Sir John in vited the nation, to present.to himself. On the one side of a sheet of paper it ran: “My dear Sir John, I am certain there are few in this Kingdom who set a higher value on your Services than myself, and 1 have the honor to subscribe," on the other side it concluded, “myself your obedient, faithful servant, “Ekskine.” But let us pass on. We reach another quiet village, Chelsea. On the lawn, in one of the small gardens, sits Scotland’s celebrated author, Thomas Carlyle. He lias a book on his knees, and gazes thoughtfully into vacancy. His is a dry, gaunt form; he wears a morning gown and cup, aud draws heavy clouds of smoke from his short clay pipe ; he is the Diogenes of Chelsea. If you converse with him, he is at first dry and laconic. He conducts you then to' the pretty sitting-room of his wile. Lady Wallace sent a very civil message to Mr. Harris, the patentee oif Covent Garden Theatre, offering him her comedy for noth ing. Mr. Harris observed that her ladyship knew the exact value of it. Lotas XIV., playing at backgammon, had a doubtful throw; and a dispute arose, and the surrounding courtiers all remained silent The Count de Grammont happened to come in at that instant. “Decide the matter,” said the King to him. “Sire,” said the Count, “your Majesty is in the wrong.” “How,” replied the King, “can you thus decide without knowing tiro question?” “Because,” said the Count, “had the matter been doubt ful, all these gentlemen present would have given it for your Majesty.”— Every Saturday. Biilwcr, Carlyle sail Dickens. In a late German work, “Weiter und Wei'er," we find the following interesting gossip on several literary celebrities of Eng- Bulwer lives in his beautiful villa in Ful ham, a quiet, lonely villa, above London. A tranquillity disturbed by nothing reigns in the house. Notwithstanding the warm spring day, Bulwer sits near the fire-place, where a bright coal. fire is burning. Outside the branches of a cherry tree, covered with an exuberance of blossoms, hang down on the window, and the low, chirping notes of the birds penetrate into the room. The cele brated author —a tall, slender form, wrapped in a sky-blue, soft-lined, silken morning gown, which is fastened with a Btrong cord around the waist —sits at a large,empty table, and bas before him only a blank book, in which he writes his new novels. His large, light-blue eyes cast longing glances out of the window; his auburn hair fiows in ringlets down on his high, narrow forehead; the large, slender nose hangs over his small mouth, and his red whiskers fall from his long and narrow chin on his breast. The whole face looks decidedly too long. He has a sickly appearance, and is abstracted. His family affairs are at the botr tom of his melancholy, which no one can fail to perceive. His little daughter died —his son, the heir to the baronetcy, is estranged from him—and his wife, Lady Bulwer, has long since been separated from him, and lives in the city. Let us enter her room. She site at her writing table, for she is likewise at work upon a novel. Her corpulent form, her round face, her radiant deep blue eyes, her raven hair, every thing forms a striking con trast wkh the appearance of her husband. • She conte'rnplates'the portrait of hereon; she charges her husband with being another Love lace and refusing to pay his debts. Her large eyes look at us languidly; her lull cheeks contain a number of dimples such as Rubens liked to paint; her lips are still as swelling, fresh and red as those of Titan’s daughters, and yet she is much over forty. On think ing of this our suspicions are aroused; the crimson on her cheeks is too fragrant; the heavy braids surmounting her forehead are too black: her manners are decidedly too kind and polite, and cannot be sincere—we escape from her, bearing in mind the bleed ing heart of her melancholy husband, and the mournful tones of liis novels. Mrs. Carlyle is a lively, pleasant creature, and a world of, thought beams from her dark eyes. She bus learned a great deal; her father gave her a most profound education, and she is possessed of a keen, yet mild judgment, ol' w hich her husband himself is afraid. But there she sits now, sewing with her hand some linger a new, cravat Tor her Diogenes. She wears an elegant morning costume. In these surroundings we begin to lfcel at ease. The portraits of Gothe, young and old, and Jean Paid, are looking down upon us. Carlyle becomes talkative and witty, and displays his whole famous eloquence. But be is decidedly one-sided. You like to listen to him, but you must beware of intcrrnptm" him; and, nbuvo all, of contrudietiug him. He letembles a clear-sounding bell; you touch ife and it resounds, but ouly to itself. Neverthe less, we Germans are always well at ease in Carlyle’s presence, for, if there is an English- man. who esteems and reveres our poets, it is Carlyle. Let us g<J now to Charles Dickens. There are several aristocratic carriages and plain hacks in front of his elegant residence, where a nu merous party is assembled. The celebrated romancist has returned from an extended trip to Switzerland and Genoa, and gives to night a soiree, such as are the order of the day, at his hospitable house. He is blonde, his eyes are light blue, his face flushed with wine, neither meagre nor round, but brimful of good humor and kindheartedness. He is conversing with two ladies, who can not refrain from bursting into loud laughter. You can tell at once, on looking at this face, which is by no means expressive in itself, when Dickens describes, recites,, or satirizes. Dickens is precisely as he Writes ■ lively, sanguine, a bon vi.ranl —now in a poetical mood, now observing, all seemingly superficially—and yet what a deep heart is concealed under this restless surface! It it is said that the currents of the world are in jurious to genius, Dickens’ example proves the contrary, for bis creations spring trom the observations of life ; he would be nothing without seeing, observing and living with what he beholds. , In former times his wife, a .stately huly, was to be seen on such occasions. Her black eyes, her full form, her measured conduct, were in striking contrast with those ol her husband, and wo-regret to say that the, quarrel which disturbed their relations ana their happiness after a blissful wedded lite ol many years has not yet been settled. They r are not yet reconciled. The husband drowns his cares in’his literary activity and in the bustle of the world. Anecdotes of Irving. The genuine, though unobtrusive, modesty of Washington Irving is known to all readers of his works, this characteristic being one of the many charms of his writings; but it is not, perhaps, so well known that this trait, so generally admired by others, was to himself, at times, a source of infinite annoyance and mortification. The subjoined anecdotes, never before Pub lished, we believe (one of which is quite timely), are illustrative of his modesty, or rather diffidence, as exhibited'on "two memo rable occasions when confidence ancK sell possession appeared to him peculiarly ne cessary. On the occasion ot the visit ot Charles Dickens to this country, a grand dinner, as will doubtless be recollected by old New Yorkers, was given to him at the City- Hotel, at which a large number of literary and other celebrities assembled to do honor to tbe distinguished foreigner. After the guest himself, the most im portant person present was Wash ington Irving, who had been selected to pre side, and from whom a felicitous and interest ing welcoming address was expected. To the utter surprise of everybody, however, when he arose to speak he was scarcely' able to express a coherent word, and, after two or three attempts, sat down, amid the laughter of the party, completely discomfited. His failure afforded Dickens an excellent oppor tunity to show his humor and amiability at the same time, which he did not omit to do when he got up to respond. The next morn ing Irving wrote to Parke Benjamin as fol lows: — ' . , j “iiEAfi Paeke,—l broke down last night, just as I knew I should. - Living. ’ i Some time after this, the Democratic party j of this city, feeling the need of a strong can didate to enable them to carry a pending 7 mayoralty election, chose the author of the | “Sketch Book,” and a committee, composed ■, of some of the leading politicians of the day, : was despatched to Sunnyside to apprise him i of his nomination and obtain, if possible, his ■ acceptance. Arriving at his residence, they .’ were met at the door by the housekeeper, who,after eyeing them suspiciously and asking divers questions, ushered them into the libra ; ry, where they found the illustrious author re i dining on a lounge. After the usual civili i ties, the spokesman of the partymade known j the object of their visit in the most unexcep- I tionable set phrases. Whereupon, Mr. | Irving commenced to reply, and had got as j far as “I thank you, gentlemen, for the com ! Alimentary manner in which you have con j veyed to me this honor, but ” and pausing i for an instant, he was relieved by the bouse | keeper, who at that moment entered the room to announce refreshments, and said, evidently having overheard the conversation: “But you shan’t go, sir;” when Mr. Irving again resumed, and concluded in the words: “Gentlemen, you have your answer”—and then politely led the way to the dining-room. —Jior/ie Journal. £nffUsli Criticism*. on American ACtOfM* The London I'irnes prints a third article by its dramatic critic, Mr. Oxenford, on the American stage, Irom which we extract tie following: Mli. JOHN BttOUCiIIAM, At present the principal actor at the Olympic is Mr. John Brougham, who is the author of all the Dickens’ dramas, and whose name stands exceedingly high, both as a comedian aiid as an agreeable member of society. Originally one of Madame Yestris’s picked company at the London Olympic,Mr.John Brougham had established a good English reputation long before he crossed the Atlantic, and when he visited London.a short Umosincehe was very favor ably received. Indeed his representation of the'comparatively small character, O'Grady, in Mr. Boucicault’s “Arrah na Pogue,” gave so much satisfaction that there is oven now a talk of his returning to London when that excellent drama is revived. But to appreciate Mr. John Brougham’s powers as a stage humorist to their full extent it is necessary to see him before an American audience. At New York he clearly feels that he is not only a respected actor, but a popular favorite, and that he can give rein to his comical vagaries with a license which he could scarcely as sume in England. As a burlesque actor ho is here without a rival, and in this genial atmosphere, one of the very best ever seen upon any stage. “Pocahontas,” which failed at the Prin cess’s, when brought out there some years ago, is quite another afiiiir in a country where tlie story of Smith, the bold settler of Vir ginia, and the Indian maiden by whom his life was saved, iB as familiar as that of Ro binson Crusoe and his man Friday. As the lather of Pocahontas, Mr. John Brougham, extra vagantly attired us an Indian chief, in dulges in ns many ingenious absurdities an the comic personages in the plays which ' Ludwig afieck wrote under the inspiration' of Carlo Gozzi. Now he interpolates a joke, be..ting reference to some. political topic of the a.y; now he talks con.'uleutiully to the leader of the hand, and that to an ex tent which sublimely violating all the princi ples of illusion, produces the most amiable fraternity both in stage and audience. It is a known fact that actors who rely on a pecu liar idiosyncrasy are only thoroughly at home with a public to whom they have grown familiar. The inimitable John Reeves could make nothing of America; his succes sor, Wrightjwas lightly osteefned even in the English provinces; and yet tirey both drew, brow ds to the Adel phi. MISS I.OT'J’A. As for the most part Lotta does hot'so muoh adapt herself to her characters as she finds characters modified to suit her own peculiarities, I should say her versatUity f was rather apparent than real, were it not for the delicacy and care with which she represents L ittle Nell, a part that oilers ho opportunities for the display of her popular eccentricities. The serious jine of business is less in her line than the comic, .but her articulation is admi rably distinct, and tho readiness )vith which she departs from her ordinary routine is much to her credit.. When she has gone through her American tour she will probably visit London; but she will have something to unlearn. Irish girls who play on the banjo arc not among the institutions of the olu country. A TIiIHCTK TO AMKKICAN AIUUKNU'EH. There is one fact with respect to which the English public ought to be thoroughly dis abused. When a London actor visits America, and after a sojourn of two or three years comes back to the old country, and is not so much liked as he was before, it is commonly asserted that he has been “vulgarized" in the United States. Now there is nothing “vul garizing” in an American audience; on the contrary, its fault lies in the opposite direc tion, and if 1 were an actor just from London I should feel that there was not enough “go” in my patrons, and that if they showed rather less decorum their 'plaudits would be far more inspiiiting. ttni'Alb DICTS O ODDS. ■ CHESTNUT BTUKET. .

Kenney, it is said, immediately drew a knife and slabbed Parr in the arm, below the elbow,'.lnflicting a very pain ful wound. Mr. John Hammett was attracted to the place by the noise, and he at once arrested Kenney and handed him over to the authorities.

From Wnshington/ Nothing lias transpired to-day what the President will do concerning the demands of the 1 Pennsylvania Demo mats. Si is thought he will not make such sweeping changes ns they de sire, bnt will extend them all the aid and com fort he can by giving them some minor appoint ments. The bugbear of impeachment, which is ever before him, and which would inevitably result if he acceded to tholrdemands, makes him cautious, uud although his will is good enough to give them all they ask, yet lie lacks the nerve, it is thought, to go to the whole ieugth they require. A day or two will decide what lie will do. There is reason to bclie/c, however, that orders will he issued soon to make some alterations or repairs to Hie man-of-war Brooklyn, at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, wbich will give work to a large num ber of men./ The only/appoinlment obtained by the party of Philadelphia Democrats while here, wits that of Folyai[lßegun, as Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue, for the First Collection District, upon the recommendation of Samuel J.
