MIMS. KEDIDGE 9 I9 SECOND UENDI NG.
Mrs. Kemble bad another crowded audience
yesterday afternoon. The doors opened at 2
o'clock and the rush of the waiting crowd was
something fearful to behold. Several hundred
women, crushing. struggling, panting up the
winding stairway of Concert Hall is not a pretty
sight to behold, by any means. Uloaks, shawls
and tempers were strewed all along the field of
this desperate charge. One lady was fairly
knocked over, receiving a severe blow on the
head as she fell, and the question of the .atiaolute
necessity for a return to the "reserved-seat•
system was reduced to a palpable demonstration.
If Mrs. Kemble will be so popular as to draw
such crowds, there can be no doubt
that there must be such a method of
admission as will not peril life and
limbs and new bonnets and other necessi
ties to feminine existence. The more attrition of
such violent entrance to Concert Hall, if often -
repeated, would wear . Mrs. Kemble's audiences
down to half their present size. And so thinks
that good lady herself, for she has determined to
give us back our reserved seats next week, where
at the public greatly rejoices.
Another improvement,yesterday afternoon, was
a marked success. -The Chestnut street windows
were kept closed during the reading and opened
during intermissions. The noise was thus effec
tually shut out, and Mrs. Kemble's voice was
clearly heard throughout the Hall.
Punctual to themoment Mrs. Kemble appeared
on the stage, in an exquisite dress of "goat's
hair" silk; delicately picked out with a faint sug
gestion of violet. The play was "As Yoe Like
It," and it was certainly a most superb perform
ance. The audience missed the "Amazon crying
the night" and Mrs. .Kemble's chin did not
"defy the Armada" as on Monday evening; but
there was an Indescribable archness and fan
which carried staidThiladelphia off into repeated
sallies of laughter and peals of applause. All
the wonderful versatility of Mrs. liemble's
genius came out in the course of this
reading. The tremulous voice and man
ner of the old servant, Adam, especially in
the scene where he forcea his service upon his
young master, was a marvel of clever imitation,
while the love-sick Rosalind and the merry Celia
were given with a perfect naturalness. Mrs.
Kemble's parformance of the character of Touch
stone, that "noble fool," that "worthy fool," was
a triumph of comic art. His interview with
A udrey (who was as simple and idiotic as Dick
ens's servant girl at Bob Sawyer's party), and af
terward with Audrey's lover, William, were in
describably funny, and it was difficult to deter
mine whether Mrs. Kemble or her atidienee en
joyed it most: A piece of by-play which Mrs.
Kemble introduced between. Touchstone and
Audrey, at tho text, "Bear your body more seem
ing, -Audrey," was extremely effective. The
melancholy Jaques gave his famous "All
the world's a stage," splendidly, and even
this familiar passage seemed to receive a fresh
interpretation'in the hands of the greatest living
exponent of the genius of Shakespeare. The
whole performance was one of unmixed satisfac
tion, and proved that in comedy, as in tragedy,
Mrs. Kenable wields all her old powers to delight
and. inatruct sal intelligent audience—
To-morrow evening she reads "Much Ado
About Nothing." and on Saturday afternoon,
"Romeo and Juliet." The second seriea com
mences on Monday evening, with "King John,"
for whieh • and the subsequent evenings, reserved
seats will be sold at Gould's Piano Warerooma.
G TIM BP& ISM MILK STALL.”
We have just seen, at the galleries of the
litstre. Earle, a large water-color with this title
The painter is Mrs. Elizabeth Murray, now of
Boston, and her picture an interelsting specimen
of the modern English manner of aquarelle.
The scene is in the suburbs of some minor
Spanish town, with a peak of the Pyrenees in
the distance, and the awning-draped walls shak
ing In the white, blind light of Spain. The ndik
vendor stands at his little table, an orange ker
chief bound round , his black head, and
his goat-skin breeches shaggy as the
thighs of Pan. He is furnished with
a store of milk, contained in the enormous
ox-horns of the country, from one of which he
turns out the silver fluid for a brown boy, one of
the elfish boys that Murillo loved to paint. The
child receives the enormous glass, still nestling
between his mother's knees; while the latter,from
another tumbler, feeds her babe. Opposite this
group stands a muleteer from the mountains, in
his wide sombrero, with his dark and silky chin
well thrown up to accommodate the glass in
which he buries the greater part of his face. The
-last figure facing—the-spe•ezator;
the stall; it is a sharp, dark, bearded hag, pre
sumably the merchant's mother, who acts as
duenna to her hulking son, and with her
"skinny hand so brown" jealously sweeps up the
pesos.
It is a scene such as you must often have
watched from some postern widow of your Castle
in Spain; the dark, tranquil young mother, with
blue reflections in her hair, embracirtg and nour
ishing her little brood with the , most pathetic in
etinct of her frank animalism, and surrounded by
the swaggering men in their flaming draperies,
and watched by the lean, bearded vigare. It is a
tourist's reminiscence, a traveler's noon reverie.
In the art-quality of 'her work, Mrs. Murray
shows.berselta very woman; quick to observe
character and expremion, graphic at telling her
story, and rather too contemptuous of anatomical
study and hard-working detail. If all her pia
tare had been lifted to thelevel she attains in her
heads of the old woman and the Murillo boy, the
study would have our warm praise. As it stands,
we consider it a favorable example of - what they
are training up in the water-color schools of
London.

iums lavished by certain injudicious critics upon
the drama Dearer Than Li e, and the prophesies
ventured that it wouldhave a prolonged run,

Mr. Sinn has wisely withdrawn the play from
the stage at the Chestnut, after a third representa
tion; and will substitute for it a sensational drama
entitled Nobody's Child. It is to be hoped that this
play will be more successful, and that it will fur
nish the members of the very excellent company
at the Chestnut with parts worthy of their
abilities. Miss Maggie Mitchell has drawn crowded
audiences at the Walnut every night this week,
with her representation of "Fanchon." She will
repeat the part this evenin Light At La..t will
be repeated at the Arch. The American offers a
miscellaneous entertainment.

cm his undivided third of the lot In dispute was
Wrested by the sale made by order of
the District Court in the section of partition
brought by one of the tenants in common against
tiffs co-tenants. The plaintiffs contend that
.he lien of their mortgage was not disturbed by
the sale, for two reasons. The first is that, the
prc,:ettlings in the action of partition were o
defective and irregular that In law they Are a nul
lity Be to the undivided third mortgage; and the
econd reason is that ids not the law that a mort
gage given by one of several tenants in common
upon his undivided interest Isdisoharged by stale
In proceedings in partition. Instituted and duly
oneucted by one of the other tenants In com
mon. '
In regard to the first point, the Conn holds
'hat, notwithstanding some faults and mistakes
which it is now too late for any of the parties to
take advantage ef, the District Court had juris
diction of all the parties in interest. "We come
thtuf to the more general question, whether a sale
in partition by writ discharges the lien of a mort-
e,sge on the nndivided interest of one of the
parties." The Court say that a sale in partition
is always for the purpose of enabling division:
that such a sale is eminently judicial; that the
whole proceeding is more directly the act of the
Court than is any other Sheriff 's sale. "I am
not aware that it has been directly de
cided whether a sale in partition by writ
in a common law court is judicial or
not, though Allen vs. Gault, 3 Casey,,l73,substan
daily, rules that it is. But without any positive
determination, it is impossible to doubt that it is
to be so regarded. It certainly has everything
which in -other eases is regarded necessary to
in ke a sale judicial, and it is even less under
private control than almost any other which is
confessedly such. Next it is to be observed that
judicial sales in the State discharge all liens.
this is a rule of almost universal application.
There are, indeed, some exceptions to it, created
by express statutory enactments, acid others
growing out of the peculiar character of the lien
or incumbrance, but it has long been regarded
as sound policy that property purchased
so. she jato _the hanti
.of
the purchaser clear of all new liens. Exceptions
to this rule are allowed only from necessity."
* * * "If sales in Orphans' Court partition
divest liens upon the interests of the partieti,
cqrtainly sales in partition by writ must work
the same result. It is impossible to find any rear
son for a distinction. It ie worthy of notice that
though the question before us has not been
hitherto expressly decided by this Court, the
practice to distribute the proceeds of sale in
common law partition among lien creditors of,
the parties has been partially sanctioned. * *
For these reasons we hold that a sale made in
partition by writ under the act of 1799 does dis
charge the lien of judgment mortgages upon the
land sold, having the ordinary effect of other
judicial sales. The oonsequence of this is that
the lien of the plaintiffs' mortgage upon the un
divided third of the lot in dispute was discharged
, by the . Sheriffs sale in partition made in Novein
ber, 1853, and their purchase tinder a judgment
subsequently obtained upon itovithout notice to
to the purchaser, at the former sale, gave them
no title against bem or those claiming _under
them."
The judment is reversed, and judgment is
given on the point reserved for the defendants.

Accident on the Pennsylvania Rail.
road.
[From the Harrieburg Telegraph, March 15th.)
_ The Day Express train of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which left Pittsburgh yesterday morn
ing at 3 o'clock and 10 minutes, for the Fast, met
with an accident about half a mile west of Pack
saddle, which came near proving most disastrous.
A land-elide had occurred during the night and a
huge mass of rock lay upon the track. The train
reached the point at fifteen minutes past five, and
the engineer not observin the obstruction in
time to check the train, the locomotive came
in collision with the rock. The engine was quite
badly wrecked by the collision, and the express
and mail car were thrown from the track and
more or lees injured. Fortunately, however, no
person on the train was injured, and the passen
ger coaches, the sleeping-car and the baggage
car escaped, damage, while the injuries to •the 10-comotivo
-comotivo and-the-damaged ars - mizht - have been
much more serious. The train was delayedthree
hours and twenty minutes. None of the trains
west•were delayed at all.

side.
[Froth the Pittsburgh Dispatch of March 18.1
Yesterday morning, at ten minutes to ten
o'clock, an accident occurred on Second street,
some. distance above the Upper • Birmingham
bridge, which, Thengti provklentlay - unattended
With loos of life, was yet one of the most exten
sive, and narrowly escaped being the most disas
trous that ever occurred in this vicinity. Some
three or four thousand tons of rock, at the time
indicated, ftll with a terrible crash from
the summit of Boyd's Bill, which over
hung the iron works of Everson, Pres
ton te, Co., partially destroying the
buildings and covering the track
of the Connellaville Railroad for more than a
hundred feet. The rolling mill, a wooden struc
ture two hundred and seventy-three feet in
length, rains parallel with the hill at a distance
of some thirty feet from its base, and extends in
width more than one hundred feet to Second
street. Here there were working at the hour of
the accident about fifty men, who, with but a
short warning of the impending danger, were so
fortunate as to escape wholly uninjured. An ac
commodation train from Billiton station, laden
with passengers, should by the regular schedule
have passed over this portion of the road when
the elide occurred, but happily for those on
board, it was detained some distance off, and
more than one hundred human being thus nar
rowly escaped a meat frightful death.
Many of our readers have doubtless noticed the
dangerous condition of Boyd's Hill, in this locali
ty. Formerly it slopedently to the Mononga
hela, a distance of several hundred feet, but es the
boundaries of the city were extended in that di
rection the lower portion of' the brow was sub
jected to grade after grade, until the hill's sum
mit hang over Second street at the perpendicular
height of at least two hundred feet.
Messrs. Everson Preston h; Co. built their
works several yearn ago. Their rolling mill
fronted on Second street, and in the rear was
aupuorted by the rocks, which had a safe incli
nation—to thbloptfliithlll:Wbetithe
vine railroad company marked-out-their---line it
was decided to run it at the back of the milt and
to effect this it was found necessary to make a
continuous excavation of several hundred feet
in length and about forty feet wide. When this
task was effected the top of the hill in places
overhung the road, and as its appearance was in
dicative of danger, a wall forty-five feet in height
was built to support it. Messrs. Everson, Pres
ton te . Co. claim that it was agreed by the railway
company to extend this' wall six hundred and
thirty-eight feet but it was made no imager than
one hundred and forty, and to this fact they at
tribute the disastrous land-slides which have oe
curred at intervals since.
The elide was chiefly caused by the thaw.
During winter the drippings of the rocks accu
mulated in their numerouscrevices and, con
remained there until the opening of the
present month. Then the warm rays loosen the
strong grip' of frost and the chunks of ice which
filled the clefts melted away, lessening greatly
the cohesive power of the earth, widening old
fissures and causing new ones. The slide yester
day had been anticipated, but it was not ex
pected to occur so soon, nor to assume such
extensive dimensions. A man had been
stationed to watch the rocks on Monday.
Yesterday, not surmising that the elide
would take place for some days, he per
ceived a projecting block quiver, and he
had no more than time to give the alarm when a
huge ram wine*teehed, and r came down with a
fearful impetus, crushing through the mill i and
covering a portion of the machinery, and the
railroad track as high in places as thirty feet, or
even higher. The train referred to above was
now heard approaching, but those on board suc
ceeded in amain it.
The loss was not very extensive. It is thought
that three, or, four.,thousand ddllars willjepair
the damage done tojhe,buihling, but the &moan
elan of work will prove a much heavier item.
The earth cannot he removed in less than a week
or two, and the mill will not be ready to resume
operations much earlier than a month hence.

julred.
{From the Chicago Republican of the 17111.1
About half-past ten o'clock last night this city
was visited, by a storm which, although of but
short duration, was terrible in Its fury. The
heavens were illuminated by vivid flashes of
lightning,' accompanied by heavy and terrible
peals of thunder that made the very earth trem
ble. The rain poured down in mighty torrents,
with an intermingling '
of large hailstones, caus
ing a general destruction of skylights. Build
ings in an exposed condition suffered the moat
dating the sudden gale or hurricane, especially
in the North Division. Several houses were
blown down and trees uprooted, while signs and
fences were lifted up by the wind and tossed in
every direction.
The house of Anton Winter, located on the
corner of Willoughby and Dayton streets, in the
North Division, was blown down, and his wife,
Mrs. Frederika Winter, was almost instantly
killed. - She had retired to bed together with her
daughter, aged 18 Tears, and eon, aged 12 years,
who occupied adjoining rooms. At the time the
wind struck the house, Mr. Winter was pre
paring to retire. The house—a small two-story
—the first brick, and the upper frame, was
nearly completely upset. The rear end rested
upon the brick wall, the north part of which
still stands, with one end of the second or
frame story resting upon it, the front razed to
the ground, being elevated at about an angle of
forty-five. degrees. Mrs. Winter, the unfortu
nate victim, was terribly bruised about the head
and limbs, having been crushed by the falling
roof. She was rescued and taken to a neighbor
ing house, where she died a short time afterward.
Mr. Winter, who was up at the time,
was violently thrown on his face,
and a cupboard and some heavy
timbers falling upon him, he was seriously in
jured. Fears are entertained that he has received
internal injuries of a fatal nature. The daughter
and son-were unable to state how they escaped,
but were informed by the neighbors that they
jumped from the windows as the house was fall
ing. Mr. Winter is aged 45 years, and his wife
about the same. They are natives of Germany,
and hare resided in this country about 15 years.

The Yaphank express train left the depot at

afternoon, with some two.hundred and_fifty pas

the train, many of them smashing the windows
and attempting to get their bodies through them,
but they only succeeded in inflicting. Wounds
upon their persons. Fortunately, there were
but few persons in the forward cars, and they all
escaped injury but four. The most seriously In

bowels protruded and his neck was lacerated, yet
he lived to be taken to Bellevue Hospital. His

injured were kindly attended to by the proprietor

!From to-dav's N. Y. Herald.]
Those Privileged parties who were allowed to
pass within the lines of the Jersey camp yester
day were somewhat exercised over the activity
and incessant hurrying to and fro of the direc
tors during the day. It could be seen at once
that something was "in the wind." Visi.
tors asked themselves the question what
could all this bustle mean, and a - few were bold
enough to ask the captain himself ; but he was
too chary in his communication with outsiders.
The old chancellor seemed once more in
Wall street, vigorous as ever, thoroughly bent
on business, and thereby allowing himself a few
Minutes to snatch a hasty meal. Mr. Eldridge,
the president, was all smiles. Mr. Fisk one
would suppose, had just gained half a million in
some gigantic speculation, while Mr. Gould
swaggered about with the air of a conjuror who
had just performed some extraordinary trick.
Something was going on all the - while in- No. 3,
which the council were resolved to keep secret,
at least till the plans were fully matured. So
much mystery surrounded the proceedings that
one was tempted to peep here and there through
the windows of the reception-room to catch per
chance a glimpse of an invading force, while
others fancied they heard the click of muskets,
and visions of nitro-glycerine, sledge-hammers
and bludgeons floated through their brain. Night
came and there was no attack, nor did the be
leaguered force seem disappointed. The pro
tracted discussion, it transpiresl, was a council of
war, at which it was reaolved to tempo the
offensive and move on the 'enemy's — flank.
Telegrams were sent in quick succession to seve
ral stations on the line of the Erie Railroad an
nouncing important movements. The printers
were set hard to work in the issuing of a now
stock of tickets and meanwhile the council was
adjourned to this evening, A heap of letters
and telegraphic despatches lay on the desk in the
council chamber, the contents of which absorbed
the attention of the executive committee. Ono
telegraphic despatch read thus: "Hold out—no
monopoly—let the battle cry be 'free competition
and cheap markets for the public,'" and was
dated at Buffalo. Other despatches were of simi
lar import, while some twenty-five letters urged
a vigorous policy on the part of the directors.
Yielding to the pressure from without, the di
rectors have then determined to reduce the faro
to Buffalo as a beginning. This Is the first stroke
called for, and the committee have so far enter
tained the matter that its adoption is a certainty.
From this evening the fare to Buffalo will be V,
and it is resolved to reduce it to tb within a
week, as soon as the new issue of tickets can
be furnished, This will be a broadside at the
_New YorkSeritralWilich_ JOB tie followeiLuo_
still further by the establishment of a line of
steamboats to Albany, commencing on Sunday
evening, at the low rate of half a dollar. This policy
reduces the contest to a simple issue and the pub
lie are becoming more interested than ever in
the straggle. It is a matter of indifference to
the people at large whether Vanderbilt or Drew
control the stock.-jobbing in Wall street; but in
the matter of cheap fares and cheap provisions
the great mass of the people will hail free com
petition and decry monopoly in any quarter.
'Tie an ill wind that don't blow somebody. goOd
is an apothegm as true now as • ever ' and this
war of the railroad giants is likely to benefit the
poorer classes before it, terminates. It also trans
pired last night that this measure is but
the first gun of a vigorous cannonade that
will be opened on the Vanderbilt , camp
and continued till the enemy be brought to terms.
When asked how long they will be able to hold
out Mr. Fisk replied : "Why, air, the question of
duration is one that never troubles us; this is-a
public question, and we mnstnot throw personal
comforts in the balance. Six weeks, six mouths,
or six years are all equal to us in this sense. Jnet
see and judge for yourself. We could not be more
comfortable any where , while our hours of busi
ness are about 'the same as ever." The returns of
the daily transactions on the railroad are punc

solicitous for their security from arrest so much
as for the safety of the treasures, which, if lodged
