To better keep the Coolies under restraint, and to keep them from mutiny, they were placed In tho main hold of tho emp, their iood being passed below, dally, to a Chinese cook, who had been detailed for this special purpose.

PHILADELPHIA, MOND TWELVE KSIGHTS; OH,WHAT IS IT) Wo were lately present at an odd kind or re beanal.or daylight representation, on the part of the talented company from tho Arch street boaide; the same eet of honest gentlemen, that is 10 say, whom Mrs. Drew cajoled for two weeks into tho belief that she Is a charming little Greok boy, and that her name la Ceeario. In other words, that same circle of happy knights who were Just now lending sach a gleam of wit ind uraee to Shakespeare’s evergreen play of “Twelfth Night" The representation was given in the afternoon. I 11J u e cents, as well as the Bate, were under the I direction of a celebrity, no less a man than—than whom? Why, the Old Man of the Sea, the ori- I einal Ancient Mariner himself; the sea-scapist sea-serpent, don’t yon twig?—the'Mer-man’or I Moran; he who was bom in Somerville Valley at I tho bottom of the ocean, and who cannot mi'-r nis I paints with any vehicle bnt cod-liver, by means I of which he makes oil-color water-color, ove r acres of breakers. It was he who condesconded to set the stage, in his own stndio, and to take charge of the scenery, which he would spell sea- I nery. Then, coming forward from the cou lisses, (which were decorated with various views of the Mediterranean from the coast of Illyria,) I we hod the gallant company who havo given ns such pleasure in their evening Twelfth Night games. There were Sir Toby, acted with such nnctlon by Mr. Mackay; Bobert Craig, tho only Andrew Agnecheeh, the grand, abused Don Qnix otle named Alaivolio, in the stockings of Barton Hill; and the rest. The elder Bishop conducted the mnsic, in a fashion we conld wish to have im- j itated at one or two of onr theatres; that 1s to say, he planted his npnght person In an orches tra chair, and maintained, by the space of two hours, such a rigid silence as we have never Known to be matched by mortal man; what a les son for leaders! We cannot enumerate all tho per formers; we made abont a dozen. [ The idle of Viola was taken, with a shrinking modesty, a timid poetry that has seldom been approached, by Mr. Edward Moran himself. He dressed the part in gaiters, a close jacket, and a meerschaum or sea-foam pipe. I This was the order of the thing. Viola, or I Moran, suffusing his palette with a green and jelJow melancholy, placed a chair before his t asel, and sat there like patience on a monument I smiling at grief, and contemplating a stretcher I covered with bare twilled canvass. j ‘‘Whai’e that?” said somebody. j “A blang, my iotd," said !Wa. I Moran then proceeded with bis part. His I dumb-show was Impressive. He took np and ex- I hlblted to tho company a paint-brush which ap- I peared to have been violently pinched in a door! I it had length and breadth; but no thickness. With I this sharp instrument, as with a butter-knife, he scooped up a frightinl piece of the yellow part I uf bis melancholy. I “What's that,” said somebody again; some- j body was always asking what's that. I “That's cadmium,” eaid Viola. j “Cadmium!” said Malcolio with energy; “the very tint T want! von shall see it to-night, gen tlemen; yon shall commend it on my stockings. I*ll be strange, stont, in cadmium stockings, even with the swiftness of putting on.” “Don’t!” said Sir Andrew. "Pourqucy, my dear knight?” spoke ud Mackay. "Ob,” said Craig, simply, “cadmium was the rock on wnich I split. My last painting was spoiled with a firmament of cadmium; it hung over my landscape like flax on a distaff. But go n, fair artist, with your painting; I pray yon ■ring your hand agaiffHo the buttery bar.” 1 “I am not fair,” said tbe artist; “nor yon ' itber; 'asd be began to sing : 1 “My name was Ned Moran, as I Bailed." ! The brash, by this time, had warmed to its task. It had worked up and down, and baek ward and forward,doubling on itselt with a slap ping felicity, till a kind of horse-shoe of the cadmium was formed on the npper part of the canvas; the great laps of paint were Been in relief upon the surface. Then the deaerate instru ment went plnmp into a mass oi ultramarine. This color, planted on the upper corner, began to sally out upon the yellow with straggling blue lightnings of a fearful energy. Then the frantic brush went to the other extreme, took a tremendous header, and came np covered with white. The white was landed pat in the centre or focus of the horse-shoe, and then developed into the yellow on every side. The aggressive yellow wouldn't be covered, bnt poured down and showed fight, like a boarding-school boy ■trnggling for the covers en a winter night. Upon this white kicked np, leaving terrific rags and disjecta membra around the scene, and finally darted up among the blue; then the bine warmed up, and swarmed down, invading the dazzling centre of white, and trying to make something like a black eye there. Then the yellow danced about in a fnry/ boxing with the blue on one side, throwing'lass os around the white on an other, and at last raging round and ronnd the horizon at large In a kind of war-dance. “I like to see Moran’s canvas in action,” said Craig. “Yes, it’s a lively article when it’s stripped t 0 toe buff,” agreed Mackay, alluding to the pre dominant color; “but did yon ever see such a brush ? it was born under the star of a galliard.'' “I see what it is at now; it’s painting a shy,’’ cried Craig, mnch elated with the discovery. Then he added with conviction, “it has danced np to heaven in a coranto.” In fact, by violently squeezing one eye, and plastering the other with the palm of the hand, and backing gradually against the stove, any body could make ont a kind of a sky. It was dory, transcendental, rnrncrish; it had blue corners, a white bull's-eye, and a catharlne-wheel of clouds sputtering over masses of purple and green. Sir Andrew pointed it ont to his boon-com panion Sir Toby. Sir Toby contemplated it dubi- ously. "H yon or I had used those colors,” said the lorrner, "the critics would say there were as many Ucb in the sheet as would lie in the bed of Ware in England.” By about this time a suspicion may have crept over the reader of the hind of game onr Arch friends were playing. In fact, the virtuous Sir Toby , and the warilko ■S't'r Andrew, and the stately Malvolto, and al| the others, including tho silent chores of Mr. Bishop,were simply having ono of their painting lessons in the privacy of their friend's atelier. , Craig and Mackay;it seems,began it,some time since. Then, when Moran had manipulated and- nP; terly snbdncd them to what they worked in, “like the dyer's hand," they took the part of tame ele phant, and worked-nearly oil the company-in, one by one. ! Moran’s way was logical. For his first ieeSon OORWHOLE COUNTRY. Y, FEBRUARY 8, 1869. be ect bis palette with the .three primary colore, and painted a picture with them before his class. Yon think It cannot bo done—go up to the Arch tome night and just ask the company. The disciples watched the painting In silence, “ cv . t ‘f a finger, only keeping up such a /vetuaae of chaff and wit that it was hard for the master to attend to his work; he managed, how i ver, to turn out a surprising picture with bis red and blue and yellow. The comedians bore It off, and returned in a week, each with bis copy. At the second meeting Moran added vermilion to Ihelndian red, and produced uneffect so much the richer; and so on, reading the lesson of some new color at each sitting. Ho did not bother his acolytes with mnch drawing; for he meant that hie way should be a royal as well as a logical one. Each happy student is now able to paint a landscape as gay and loud as a paroquet. Fatigued with bis pyrotechnics, the artist threw up bis part of Viola for a while, and there was an interlude in the fashion of a walk-round. Each callow artist now made directly for his copy and stood in front of it with infinite satisfaction. The copies were sot aide by side, in an innocent sort of Exhibition. Barton Hill stretched with an air of relief as he rose from his chair and seized his study, a sunset, red, melancholy and sublime. "This does make some obstruction »'» the blood," said he, elongating bis Adonis face into a yawn, “but what of that, if it phase the eye of one?" Craig has expanded his powers over an elabo rate view of river and vale, tnll of light and air and freedom. There were passages of foliage that excelled in tone the model by his master. Mackey bad produced a thickot of foliage, with every leaf made out and accounted for separately* He had minced his colors as conscientiously as a Scotchman minces a haggis. The tints had sunk in a little, but for intelligence and command of band the picture evidently bore the palm. It was pleasant to see how the artists reveled In the new world they had found. Barton Hill gazed into the crimson depths of his sunset like a gentlemanly Columbus approprioting the West Indies. Mackay, who is dry and singularly modest la manner, could hardly be brought to look at his own work, but waa ready to joke with any one, no matter what might be the allusion, e ° 1118111 did not bear upon himself or his doings. This gentleman, whom we know as one of the most admirable “old min” on the boards, leaves bis theatrical existence moro completely at a dis tance, in society, than any one we know. The lines of his face, and the plodding step of age are replaced by elasticity; the rich burr in his voice, now unctuously Important, now trembling and harsh, gives way to an accent cultivated and controlled; the expressive and mobile visage Is made as smooth and quiet and commonDlace as a Quaker’s, only now and then the tongue of lightning will whip out from the mask of wood, whh eome ready and stinging jest. As for Craig', the most tameless and volatile of embodied spirits, bis impatience of that slight body which imprisons bis essence was continually manifested. Craig roves, with the caprice of a bee in a con servatory,/rour chair to chair; yet the only use he makes of one Is to hang his leg over the back* he sipß the sweets of one cigar after another, and there is nothing more expressive about those sharp and sarcastic lips than the way they wreathe aronnd and erilicise a taper habana. After a short interval all went to work again! Moran with his pencil, the rest with their eyes. The mneh-endnring shovel-shaped .brush came up, after a mixed brown study among the sienna and mommy and bnmt-umber—came up the color or balf-and-hal£ It drove straight at the white centre of the canvas, and vlclonaly worked about there. When it came away there was a squarish silhouette lifted darkly against the fireworks. Gradually this figure of architecture attracted to Its base a foundation of rocks, turf, &o. ; for It is the prerogative of painted castles,as of castles-ln. the-alr, Is to be built banging, and let the foun dation, If there Is any, account for itself after wards. In less time than it takes to deseribe, a dark, Radcliffe sort of a donjon-keep, approached by a rude and gloomy canseway of rocks, nodded into the sky. The quick eye of Craig detected an hiatus in the midst of the edifice; an opening of rectangular rbape, through which you saw the thread of the canvas. This became for a while the focus of the jests. It was generally supposed to be the window of th e llcket-ofUce. One venturous spirit suggested the window of the soul. “You will understand It in a minute,” said the artist; “my window is only waiting for the gla zing.” Mackay, however, observing, at an opportune moment, that a squarish rock was tumbling from the end of the brush into a lonely part of the margin. Insisted that the whole picture was a paraphrase of the fire at Caldwell’s, and that a bit of the cornice had just fallen into the gntter. No, no,” said Craig, “that is the ocean, not a gutter, and tho brown thing Is a rock in the era lie of the deep.” This theory gave general satisfaction. The painting rapidly grew beneath the eye; every second gave it consistency and meaning; a dark, aea-iaved promontory, glossy with seaweed, seemed to support the rained wall of a castle, which it lifted shield-like against the flaming snn It was one of Moran’s rapla, melodramatic, nar rative pieces of effect. What was strange, the bold black relief of the foreground had a har monizing effect on the flagrant sky—it tamed it, threw it back into subjection, and gave it a breadth and halo It had lacked before. —lt looks surprisingly mellow now, we ob served, to the grave, silent and archepiscopa) Bishop, when the younger men had gone, and the endden creatioirof the'painter's fancy remained upon the easel. Tho comedians had van itold together, without mnch noise, as toe snn was sinking, as if toe gathering veils of twilight, in toe remote and lofty studio, were oppressive to their merry and glancing existence. The talent that can beat its ganzy wings through toe caprice 8 of “Twelfth Night" ought, yon wonld think, to shrivel and die in the dusk; It would seem an ex- istence of either the noon-light or tho footlights. “It will look mellower through .tho bottom of this glass,” replied the mnsician. Ho was Ailing a wineglass with a cloudy white wine. “This is my own ’68," explained tbo singer. “It ie from my vineyard on tho Brandywine; it can build a castio In Spain foster than even our friend Moran.” The still, filmy wlno passed from tmdor tho hard of the mnsician into onr veins and hearts Twilight was dying in the warm aad,quiet boom all tapestried with maritime sketches and fancies In the centre, Instead of a light, tho drcam-castlo hung against the painted hoavens. The mosses and crumbling stones seemed real enough, yet they were the hasty creation ef on artiet’s fancy, dipping their unreal shadows into a painted ocean where the blank cloth had been an hour or two before. The brneh of a sleeve would melt them Into embryos again. By a sudden Inspiration, the artist who had hitherto seemed so anperior in his qaletaelf-com muning, had come out with a draught of bis pat beverage to baptize the picture. The glasses clinked, and the castle was named Otranto. Then, passing to tne open piano, Bishop gave with the deepest feeling and purest Intonation. Moore’s "Songs of the Olden Time." Ib there anything more touching, more Impres sive, than a fine tonor at the time when it begins to age a little,—the time when refinement and self-possession, rather than weakness, have be gnn to discipline its energy, and temper its Are ? The tenor who has been the darling of the stage* who has divided the bouquets with with tho soprano, acquires In bis riper years another sor of empire, and bathes the heart with tears where he used to command the applauding voices of the parquet. The accompaniment bubbled like a fountain from his soft white fingers. The voice that traced tho melody of Moore was pare, low, thrilled with meaning, foil of the essence of song’ Rich aDd snave, it floated over the just-developed painting, as if it could cement and harmonize those stlll-liqnid stones and floating banks into some actuality of poetry and Imagination. It seemed to give to tho cold edifice of paint some new breath, to bathe it with the final afflatus, and lift it from among the accessories of the studio into the moro precious reality of dreams. When we see the painting again we will re port it the effect has been permanent. innsEiiEiin. -Kdmnnd Yates’s comedy, Tame Cate, wUI be pro duced tbiß evening at He Arcs Street Theatre Mr Yates ts well known to readers as one 0/ the most bio cesafui and popular novelists of the day. His ventures In dramatic literature have been few, but Uls ability Is quite equal to the production of a first rate nlav We give below a brief synapsis of the plot. We may pre mise that the phrase “Tame Gats" i» a cant term aD p ied to people who sponge upon their friends, and abrre their hospitality by meddling with their affairs and maklne mischief in their ramifies. English soci ety has more such people than we have. Mr Waverham, (Mr. Everlv) a young married man in bDMue.-s in the city of Lonuon, has, some years be lt re,come into the possession of a comfortable property and acbaimmg country residence by the law of next of kin.his uncle, the legatee of an eccentric old maiden sunt, having perished m the wilds of Australia Be ing of a hospitable temper and generous disposition he hEB attracted around him a set of parasites (tbe Tame Cats of the play) who, not content with living ill luxury from hfs bounty, are endeavoring to destroy Me domestic peace, and for their own benefit tempt him into ruinous speculations. Through the machtna- Unlit of Lhese creature* Wavernam la made to belie™ that his wife (Miss Brice) Is unfaithful to him S that Charles Hampton (Mr James) a flue young fS low who is in love with his (Waverham’s) ward. Annie Temple (3 rs. Creese) Is the villain who robbed him of his happiness and of bis honor. Irritated by losses in business, principally caused by Mortimer Wodgewood whem he thinks his friend, and Mb supposed ddmestii troubles, Waverham upbraids his wife with his ruin and Ison the point of abandoning her f irever, when he finds that W edgewood, to whom ne turns for helo is u villain. He thin discovers that Mr. Twoedle (Mr’ Hemple), sp old gentleman be had been entertaining fur some time at his nonee, fa his ancle who waa re f’i Iu da that the ruinous stock enecu laiiou in which be suppohttd btrurslritivulTcO liarlOc CT , prevented by his nnefe s sagacity, and in the end finds himself rich, beloved by his wife and respected by hla uncle, who refuses to take back tbe property and onlv asks in return for a borne for hia old age; while the sycophants and traitors reap their reward In dismissal and contempt. Wedgewood (Bartop Hill) is an lent and vicious young manfwho unites to a handsome* 1 person and a good education* a heart utterly incapable of any feeling. The other characters in the piece are Ezra Stead, a returned convict (Mr. Mackey) * Mrs. ttopplr (Mrs. Tbajor), a “Tamo Cat;” Mrs. Langley (Mrs. Drew), sister to Mrs Waverham, and guest at her house; Bubbles (Mr. Craig), a footman, with a first-rate opinion of himself; and Ellis (Miss Daven port), a lady’s maid.
