AMUSEMENTS. The Anoi—At Uic Arch Street Theatre last rvcDlDir' Lotto” made bor appearance to an au dience thatwo* very large,despite the unpleasant weather The piece performed was a dramatiza tion of t'bo OUI Curiosity Shop, written with es pial reference to the development of the charae gMe.r and thp H “Marchioness,” in both of which “Lotta” has gained considerable celebrity, and in boijiof which she appeared laßt. differs In some respccta widely from the 6torv, but is generally true to It, and is perhaps as faithful and as efft ctlve ns it could possibly have been made. Unlike adaptations, It la complete in itself; it tolls ite own story. If the spectator had never read. Dickens’s narrative he could understand the piece Itself fully as well as if he were familiar with it. But ho would lose much of the exquis ite pathos shd humor which belong to, the char acters in the book, and which are only heightened and made more delightful in the representation upon the Btnge. Magnificent “Dick Swiveller” for instance, one of the most delicious characters ever drawn by Dickens; must be an acquaintance of longer standing than one evening to be, thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Craig govo last night a most admirable imper sonation of the immortal Richard—a right jolly, good-natured, superb impersonation, which was better than anything even} this excellent actor has done for a long time. It was ah Incarna tion of Dickens’s Idea* such as would have made the great novelist himself bettor acquainted with bis own creation, and prouder of it.. And yet, although the audience laughed at all the really Dalpable fun in , the piece, they somehow seemed to mtes the subUe jollity of the part, the deep Undercurrent of mingled tenderness and humor which form the striking qualities of this magnificent self-deceiver,—this scoffer at the ad veratieuofHfe. Mr. Ctaig unde retandßthir character, and he gave it with a force and delicacy which were as rare-aa they were ad mirable. It must be a relief to him to have such a part to play after having appeared in so many wretched characters daring the earlier part of the “Lotta’s” play wasexcellent. She snstains the two characters with remarkable skill, separating them as widely In her personations as they are in fact. The facuitv with which she changes from the timid, eentle “Little Nell” to the extrava gant, uncouth, half-wild “Marchioness” is re markable, and proves that she Bosses sea great versatility, or excellent training in the parts. Of the two the “Marchioness” was decidedly the best. “Lotta” possesses a very pretty face and a girlish figure which fit her for the character of “Little Nelli” and she plays it with much of the sweetness and grace belonging to it, but it is nearlv impossible to divest the mind of the im pression of artificiality which attaches to it. In the earlier scenes especially, there is upon the representation the shadow af the hand that taught her to take those pretise steps, to make those exact gestures, to smile, and to look sad as the exigencies of the part demand. This is not offensive, and after the flrat act it nearly ceases altogether, but it is nevertheless apparent atflrst. In the “Marchioness” there is none of this. From the beginning she is the same queer creature,ana in every scene 6he gives a very correct interpre tation of the part—in every scene but those m which the banjo and the clog dance are intro duced. The instrument is played admirably, although the song is extremely vulgar, and the clogs are clattered In the best style,but the whole thing is an Innovation, and an unpleasant one. They are entirely foreign to the part, and we ■would much rather take her proficiency in both respects for granted, and have her confine herself to her admirable performance of the char- Of the other characters, Mr. Mackay’s “Grand father Trent” was decidedly the best. . No fault cap be found with it. The weak, but loving,’old man* carried into desperate venture by the strength of his affection for his grand-daughter, and thus led by her, broken-hearted, out to wan der through the world, was given with unsur passed skill. Mr. Mackay is an excellent actor in his peculiar line of parts, but he has never done anvtbing better than this. Mr. Wallis and Mrs. Thayer.as “Sampson” and “Sally 1 Brass,” were very good indeed. Mr. Everly managed to make “Quilp ’ ’even more disgusting than he really is.' The character Itself is bad enough, but we could easily find occasion to praise it, if it were performed with simple fidelity to the novelist s conception. Mr. Everly contrives to make at least one passage in the second act really gross, and instead of giving pleasure, he only offends good taste and propriety. It is to be hoped ho will perceive the necessity for some modifi cation of his raptures over the beauty of “Little Nell.” The crowded house last sight, we are sure, was ai evidence of the fact that “Lrftta” will draw immensely during her engagement. She deserves success, and as the public are not slow to perceive the merit of a really good performance, it is cer tain that the box office of the Arch will bear gratiiving testimony to their’apprcciation. The Walnut.— -It cannot be said that the dra matic version of Oliver Twist forms an exhilarating entertainment, even under the most favorable auspices. No person can leave the theatre after having witnessed it, with a feeling that ho has enjoyed himsclf elther intellectually or morally; but, nevertheless, this and some similar pieces which depict the most brutal characteristics of human nature, have a fascination for some per sons, who, if they cannot be commended forgood taste, are at least susceptible of emotions, which, if not of the most agreeable description, are cer tainly genuine. In this play the hero of the novel has but a subordinate pat to perform,but the characters of “JTagln,” “Bill Sykes” and “Nancy” afford opportunities for powerful acting and they have been essayed time and again by artists of undoubted talent; Mr. J. W. Wailack, Jr. has identified himself witty the part of “Fagin,” and hois without ex ception the best representative of Dickens's villainous Jew on the stago. As a piece of charac terization Mr. Wallack’s performance is entitled to commendation, and in the prison scene espe cially, his personation of “Fagin” Is intensely thrilling. The “Bill Sykes" of Mr. Mordauntis probably the best thing that he does. It is bratal from flret to last, with the exception of the feel ing of remorse which he expresses after the murder of “Nancy,” and even this slight display of a better nature under the exterior of a brute, seems almost out of place when we consider the whole conduct of the fellow previous to his groat crime. - Such on exhibition as the murder of “Nancy Sykes" can excite no fcelings but those of loathing and disgust in any right-minded per son, and we have ulways felt that the representa tion of the horribly deed on.the stage was to be deprecated. There) are. some persons who perhaps experience sensations of plea sure at such a performance, and that fact of Itself is the most powerful argument that can be used againßt it. It is this brutality that makes the drama of Oliver Twist more objection able on moral grounds than many, so-called, im moral plays, as the very persons who are most likely to be injured are those whoso brutal pas sions and instincts require to be restrained instead of being excited and encouraged by example. To such persons the theatre is the only school where they are iiktly .to be brought in contact with or to be influenced by superior intellects,and the greater the perfection of the actors in the personation of such characters as “Fagin" and “Bill 3ykes," the greater is the injury that is likely to be done, for while all will appreciate fully the excellence of the portraitures, few will be able or willing to apply the real moral of the performance. ' Miss Alice Gray, as “ Nancy Sykes.” acted with much effect,and If her performance ladfecd some thing of the power which has been exhibited by others who have assumed the part, it was in better taste and less disgusting than is often the case. ' We hopo that Mr. Wailack will, during his en gagement, bring out some plays more worthy of praiSe than 'Jicist, and we, as-weli aathe play going public, will be pleased to see an announcement of the appearance of that excel lent actor Mr. E. L. Davenport, who was to have performed a joint engagement with Mr, Wailack, but who has been prevented from doing so by a severe attack of illness. The French Dka.matic Compaxy from New York began a short season last evening at the Chestnut, the audience being quite large, con sidering the severe storm that prevailed. The company includes several favorites of former sea sons. Mmo. Larmet and MM. La Roche, Ed ganty Juignet and Rousseau each had a welcome recognition. The performance began with the Bret Mine. Emile de Glrardln’s touching little domestic drama, La Joie. fait Pair. It was played extremely.well, M. La Roche taking this part of ‘'Adrien,” Hamilton that of the old ser vant “Noel,” Mile. Deborah that of “Blanche.” Mine. Larmct that, of “Mmc. des Aubiers," M. Caron that of “Octave, ’’ and Mile. Farnat that of “Mothiide.” There were a good many wet eyes in some of the serious scenes, and the whole piece afforded great pleasure. • ■ - The second play was a lively comedy of Pari sian life, called Lea Amours ae Cleopatra.' The leading-part, that of ‘‘Cleopatra," a fast woman, was played with remarkable cleverness by Mile. IU-illez, who can bo fanny and free, without beiog vulgar or ungraceful. Herstyle bears considera ble resemblance to that of Mrs. John Drew, In comedy. She kept up continual fun while upon ihc stage. The other characters were very well sustained by Mile. Julianl and MM. Hamilton, La Roche, Edgnrd, Ronsseau, Jnlgnet and Caron. The audience were delighted, purtlca’arly with Milo. Reillcz, who, with the others, was soveral times called before the enrtain. This evening a drama—we . believe by Mine. George Sand called Acs lieaux Messieurs de Bois-Dore, will bo played^ The Theatres.— Lotta at the Arch to-night will appear in “Little Nell” and the “Marchioness" supported by Mr. Cruig as “Dick Swiveller.” Mr, J.

McCully, tVe well known elocutionist, will givc.a select entertainment at the Town Hall, Germantown, this evening. He will read a number of popular selections from favorite authors. Mr. McCully possesses great power and his readings are very enjoyable. Ei.kventh Street Opera House. —A new bur lesque by Mr,Robert H. Craig will be produced at this establishment this evening. It is entitled Anything Yon Like, and is filled with sharp local hits, jolly humor, keen witticism and laughable situations. The name of the author is a guarantee of the merit of the piece. In addition to this there will be singing, dancing, negro comicalities and a multitude of good things. Assembly Buildings.— Mr. Alf. Burnett will give one: of his original humorous enteitolnments at Assembly Buildings this evening. Mr. Burnett So seesses remarkable power as a mimic, and an npersonator. The facility with which he as sumes a 'dozen different characters in one even ing is really wonderful. He is drawing crowded honsea. CITY BUIiLiKTJLN.

Everybody seemed to be inter ested in ascertaining the latest intelligence from the Capital, and the question, “What is** the news from .Washington was asked thousands of times. From noon until after nightfall the newspaper offices became the centre ot attraction. Each successive edition of the af ternoon papers was eagerly sought for, and the supply was scarcely equal to the demand. The press in the Bulletin Office was started about one o’clock, and with intermissions only suffi cient to insert the latest despatches as they wero received, was kept in operation till after seven o’clock in the evening. During * the entire afternoon the office was crowded, and the clerks had their hands full to supply the wants of the eager multitude. It had beta announced that the vote on the impeachment resolution would be taken in the House at five o’clock in the afternoon. By that time the as semblage at all the newspaper offices, and par ticularly at the Btn.ur.Tix Office, had largely ln ereosid. The scene was very exciting. Dis cussions sprang up among little knots of men in all directions. Different views of matters were taken, hut those .who even attempted a justification of the con duct of \Andrew Johnson came up few ami lar between. About half-past five o'clock a tele graph boy entered the office. “What is it?” shouted a dozen voicesin the same breath. “Tho impeachment resolution has passed,” responded an attache of the establishment'. Then therq was a wild scene. Hats went up into the air and there were loud huzzas. The. excitement inside of the office attracted the at tention ot those who wero passing on tho street. It was about the time that people wore wending their way home from business. Everybody stop ped. The prevailing heavy snow storm had no etlect. The crowd'inside of the office, became more den6o,and when the sixth edition,containing the announcementof the vote,was issued,it went off like wild fire. Everything but/impeachment appeared to have been forgotten. Nobody waited for any change. One enthusiastic individual throw a twenty-five cent note on the counter, with the exclamation: “Neyerraind tho change— Andy Johnson is impeached!" and away he went to spread the news. Into almost every part of the city the newsboys penetrated with their “extras,” and there were few of the inhabitants of tho citm who went to bed last night without the knowl edge that the House of Representatives had passed the resolution, “that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States.be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors,’’ The "subject was discussed in various circles last night, and the course of Congress was almost universally approved by the citizens of Philadelphia. Last evening the Union League of the Nine teenth Ward fired a salute of fifty guns in honor otthc adoption of the impeachment resolution. DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS. The Democrats, of course, are not at all pleased with tho shape which matters have taken, and several meetings were held last evening. The McClellan Club of the Twentieth Ward assembled at Eleventh and Oxford streets. Mr. John S. Painter submitted a long preamble, denouncing Congress, and closing as follows: Fir/t— Before high Heaven we solemnly declare that we will maintain the Constitution as handed down to ux by tlie birep of the revolution.

Tiou-hrancii ANNivr.jtsAirY.—The twenty eighth anniversary of the Youths’ Temperance Society of the First Independent Church was celebrated last evening. Although a stormy night-' a large number of people assembled to hoar the addresses delivered by the members of the So ciety. The Church was beautifully decorated with flags and evergreens. A large arch was sprung across tho pulpit . crowned with a blazing star, beneath was a motto, in gold tetters, ‘‘Total Abstinence." An address was delivered by Barbs Hunter, son of John C. Hunter, of this city, on “The Life of Washington,” with great eloquence; and when referring to out - martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, and the dark days which we are vow passing through, the enthusiasm wa6 in tense.

A Feeule Case—Ruin Runs Raving. —A red liot poker applied to the limbs or body over the locality of pain is of more benefit than Spnnlsh files or any liniment compounded of Cayenne popper and Turpen tine. Each scalds the flesh and creates more smnrt and pain on the surface thau the original complaint, and the poker application is quicker, cheaper and less dangerous. Conservative quacks arc wailiug over dull times; customers are few as angel's visits; a burned child is alrnid of the fire. The public havo been burned too often by these worthless nostrums that producTa greater pain to cure a less, and will not give them pa tronage. Sensible folk know better also than to dose themselves with physic or to have pills of any kind crammed down their stomachs any longer. They have also learned the fact that melted lard is of as much Im- portance and benefit as cod liver oil; that the stomach was made for food, and no medicine ever invented is fit to put into it. All know that pills produce costlveness and ill health, and those who nsc them most freely are miserable. The venders of these worse than useless compounds havo got a fit of costlveness and spleen, nnd are Running Rapidly Rabid, and beg their customers not to leave them. Folks know that there ih one place in New York where all can go when in pain nnd he sure »f relief instantly, wiihbnt adding more fire to their pain. Dr. Wocoorr, 170 Chatham Square, New York, and 622 Arch street, Philadelphia, in the Drag Store, removes all kinds of physical pain free of expense, and these facts hurt the once mcrative business of the old-fashioned Cay enne pepper stimulants, Spanish flies, and drag pills, nnd the venders gasp for breath in holy horror at Dr. Wolcott and his 'wonderful renipdy— Pain-Paint. This Paint gives no pain, leaves no color, is harmless as water, reduces all Inflammation rapidly, and re moves any pain the tongue can mention in less than live minutes in any part of the limbs or bod} - . Dr. JVolcott touches all to quit the dangerous and hcalth 'rntnonßpraeticoot swallowing medicines; to correct the diet, and live naturally; instead of indulging in ar lillcial mummeries. Dr. Wolcott is tho well-known proprietor of that standard remedy for Catarrh and colds in the head, tho Instant Pain Annimlatob. Sold by all drug gists, in pure white wrappers.
