Work—lnter. nal Revenue Business. WASHINGTON, 'Oct. 25.—T0 all assaults,to all criticism, come from whence it may; to all argument however specious or logical, Presi dent Grant and his Administration need 'only reply in the presentation of the irrefutable facts and the 'demonstration of the inexorable re.sults of a policy: which speaks In unmis takable lanAruage, and is suited to the compre hension of the plainest understanding. Two complete quarters' of the present Administra tion—from April 1 to September 30, inclusive, are now recapitulated by the proper officers, and the result exceeds the most sanguine ex-. pectations. It is nothing less . than the magnificentshowing that for the first clear half year of General Grant's Administration, as compared with the same period In 1868, the increase in the revenue and 'the decrease'iu the expenditure aggregate the enormous sum Of FIFTY-BLX 'MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. This IS not an estimate, it is not guesSworlf, but it is shown by figures which will .be abundantly verified when the officiatrepozits• are made. I can now briefly support the statement by a showing which cannot be refuted. The fol lowing statement shows the receipts from all sources for the two quarters of the years 1868 and. - 1841), comprised between the :3Let of Marc and the 30th of Septeniber in each year.' 1869. 1869”.- 1868 FROM CVSTOMB Increas6thinreustoins. $.3491;724 Enom INTERNAL Anlrgiwg„:•.*ND MISCELLA- amous souncEs 1869 - $106,538,471 18 1868 • ' 9 0,07%051 8$ Increase trout.

The Wihnington Commercial has the follow ing The great Pacific Railroad has scarcely been opened before there comes speeding over it from the Golden State, a gentleman who claims the ownership of one the newest and most thriving of our Delaware towns—Clay ton, in Kent county. Some years ago a man named Richard Tib bett held possession of about one hundred _acres _or land_l,n Kent county,Ahrough•which r in course of time, the Delaware Railroad pas.sed. As, owing to the indifference of the Smyrnians, the railroad did not go to that town, a station; called Smyrna station, was built mainly for the accommodation of its peo ple, in about the middle of the Tibbett farm. Around this station, in the course of time, a village was built, which was called Clayton. About eight years ago, Richard • Tibbett, at an advanced age, died, and his financial affairs not being left in a Kttisfactory condition, his land-was disposed of at Sheriffs sale, Dr. Wm. Daniels of. Smyrna, aid Mason Bailey, of Kenton; becoming thejoint pnrehasers. 'They wisely made the most of •their bargain—built Louses, sold lets, &e l - and , Clayton waxed strong and laughed at Smyrna for not being Ito) the railroad, and for being an old fogy place, generally. • The rest of the story we will let the Clayton Herald tell. It is'as follows: • "About•three years ago, a man claiming to be Richard Tibbett's brother; arrived in the - vicinity, and stated:that the hind' havitimbeen entailed by their, father to Richard, during their life, and at his death, to him, he was the rightful owner?tuid commenced, or ;was abort to commence, a suit for, the land. In a short, time, however, this'claiming brother seemed to have got a 'flea in 'his ear,' and.suddenly disappeared whetter he went down in a cave, • or up in a balloon, we have never been able to ascertain,:and whether he disappeared by %fr iday or, foulphiy, the oldest inhabitant has never informed us. • - • "And now conies on John Whortenby, hailing from the far-off State of California, and claiming to be the nephew and legal heir of the aforesaid Richard. This last claimant kvidently means business, having caused to be served *open the tenant, Mr. erillmore a writ of ejectment to try and determine the ' title. "We understaml that Daniels and Baileyi, ,the owners, or holders of the farm, are very much agitated in regard to the matter, while;' parties who have purchased lots from,the 'dlf-' ferent hohlers and made improvements there upon, are all astir, and we learn a meeting, is Soon to be held to raise it fund to resist the on. 1 nrmg I teen years they I fought side by side the same battle ; they con quered and maintained their ground despite - the efforts and talents (if the Liberal party. Sud denly, about two years ago,diffioulties divided their household and now the political twins are striving against each other for the mastery, of the situation. Sir George's position in the Cabinet is not proportionate to his ambition, and he aspires to the highest office. No stone will belefthy hininnturned to gain the confi dence of the Parliamentary majority, and, to form coalitions in case- of rupture. Sir John is not to be outdone, and is busily plotting to • retain power at, the expense of his rival. Who will triumph? Sir John is full of tricks and foresight, and has plenty of capaeity,. but un fortunately a great portion of his time and talent is wasted upon the pleasures of the ta ble, to the great chagrin of his best • friends. Sir George, on • the other hand, is remarka 'ble for his sobriety and activity, and, tiotwithstanding his rude manners and his 'violent temper, he has •frientis on whom he can rely, for he is himself a devoted partisan and friend. Embarrassment end discourage ment still make up' the busineSs situation in Lower Canada. One hears repeated in every, direction that "business is Mill" and "money scarce." The English population complain less, because they ant richer and busier than the French. Canadians, and English trade is backed by the rich manufacturers of Liver pool and London. But nine-tenths of our• population, obliged to rely for their supp6rt on the produce of the country, are in a criti cal condition. A• few, harpies pos.sess our trade, as well •as the liberal professions, by virtue of a monopoly of Wealth, and the emi- , gration of our la ring classes- to the United States supplies its own sad , comment. The numerous bankruptcies which , have taken place during the laste three years, and, which are still on the increase, owing to the State of the law which screens and favors them,' , de stroy confidence and prevent enterprise., The losses, to the amount of nearly sramooo, sus tained by those who attempted to ;.establish here manufactories for the working of our iron and • brass, have 'helped smaller business , men to their • min. , - s Certain brandies of trade, such as ;':the manufac turing of tobacco and . liquor, have decreased one-half under the action' of a tariff which is: neither that of freetmder orprbtection,'whiel imposes high duties on some of the articles indispensable for mpufacturing, 'and allows at same tinie.-the importation on easy terms; into the country of'foreign products" The trade in dry-goods, , generally the most Ittera.. ;tire and, flourishing of 414 is not in better cnrostiumes. The importations have - se. far exceeded oflate'the requirements of the comb' try that our Market is, supplied for several years yet, and this is the principal cause of the. numerous insolvenciet .. . 92,965,797 93 Several stories account, for the new Fehian alarm- It is said '..by friends 'of the Govern, Anent that the Fenialui are about to attack the provinces in two directions at the same time: They propose placing a gunboat on the lakes in order to divert the attention of the Govern ment from the principal point of attack, which is to be in some eastern section of the' country. It is also believed that another Can. than expeditioli was resolved upon at the late Fenian Con.xess. Actual attempts have been made to bring about a Fenian rising in some of our cities. Tha result all this will be the spending of several htmdred.tium.sa.nd dollars by our Goveriunent.--Tributre.

BosToiv, Oct. 25.—The man who drew the Coliseum bas obtained a sudden notoriety which will probably be as brief as it is intense, though it may increase his trade by adverbs lug ing his wares. All through Saturday after 'noon and Sunday the people were in a feverish state of anxiety to know , the name of the for tunate man; and now that it has been ascer tained that Ins name is J.L. Maguire, and - that he is a "lumber : dealer," the matter has a suspicious look. An investigation showed and it is publicly announced that he with others _entered_intO_ an_ arrangement with the Coliseum Association to purchase, on Saturday morning, all of the tickets which had not been sold at that time. It is said that he paid sixteen cents apiece for the tickets, pur chasing for that sum about' live thousand, while thousands of people had paid one dollar apiece for all that had been sold previous to that time. It is said that "other parties" who were in partnership with Mr. Maguire will have their share ot the 515,000, for which' the lumber will sell, if taken by the builders, but as Mr; M. is a lumber-dealer, he will probably dispose of the component parts of the stme ture to much better advantage in his own lum ber—yard.-- Mue,h — indignation — is expressed among the disappointed ticket-holders, who are conversant with the fact", and a manage ment which would sell one ticket for one dol, lax and another for sixteen rents is denounced in immea.snred terms. . As it was drawn, by a lumber-dealer, or by a ring in which a lumber-ilealer is the central, iioure, the public mind is unanimous in con sidering the whole lottery. a "put-up AO." Not many people will go for the lesser priz, which consist of small pieces of deeoratima t settees,. and chairs. ' Visitors dtuing the Jab.- , e will remember the wooden chairs' and oden settees which had been improvised tg, • the occasion,:and which are worth jest. their weight in kincUing wood, as no one wants a souvenir of a Jubilee whose last chap ter has been an ignominious lottery.

Now, as of old, Mr. Wade is Open and fearless in expressing • his opinions trport all questions before the country. He ttunksit about time that the administration took some 'decided action with regard to Cuba. "Out_ -West," Sap Wade, "we are all in 'favor of recognizing Cuba, and that without Waiting to .know whether old 'Spain likes it or not." Mr. Wade does not find any fault . • • ;./ii4.4r atia . : : -• ' 4 enforeihg the neutrality laws, but he insists that it is not, a question relating to the neu trality laws. The only point, in his opinion, to be considered is whether the revolution in Cuba has attained such proportions'as to war rant the belief that, a majority of the Cuban people. are in favor of it, and whether the Cu bans have ade facto government, with a rea sonable _prospect of sustaining themselves? Mr. Wade believes-that thesepoints have-been settled to the satisfaction of everybody by a ear's existence of the Cuban revolution, and by the manifest inability orthe Spaniards to put it down. The, first thing for the adihinis nation to do is to acknowledge the CubanS, and the qnuition of the neutrality laws will regulate itself'. Old Ben has no idea of waiting for Spain to acknowledge the independence of., the Cubans. He says Spain has never recognized the independence of any of the South American republics that threw off the yoke, and it is not probable she will act differently in the case of Cuba.' ,In the ease of the South American.re publics the United States did not wait for Spain, but, acting on the principle stated above, merely waited to ascertain that they had a de fad° go verament and then recogniied and treated with them. Mr. Wade and several Senators who are now here are of _opinion that Congress will certainly take ac tion with regard to Cuba. A. CALAMITY I,N BROOIkIXN.

Ends Mills Ererhaps the least, suited to representation upon the stage. The action is very slow and unexciting; there are, really no intense' dramatic situations, (that in Illicit "Parolles" is exposed being the most and, with the exception of the ' braggart - Otip , fain, there is not a character which can beret , garded as particularly interesting. All the personages of the`play possess a certain vidtutlity.which makes.monotony impossible'; .Shakspeare never, drew a character which did not, seem real. ght".l3elena,"although a very lovely and gentle maiden ) excites no enthusi asm for she does an unwomanly 'actien in" forcing marriage with a man who hates her • and she winli her wifely rights, b a most disgusting intrigne; "Count Bertram' is asullen, disagreeable nobleman, without a redeeming •uait. The "Countess" is a good :and noble Woniartrwho .is rt , type of certain 'motherly, kind-hearted dames,. who charm more by their Oodness the', ; • . ; . ' of any special force. Tlitil Ring• exists only to furnish "Helena" with an opportunity to win her heart'skielight and to bring her plot to a climax; personally he is' not an individual of unusual merit, and he does not occupy a large place in the play. "Lord Lame is a capital portrait of a, shrewd, witty'old courtier; bqt he, too, is '',a 'subordinate. ' The' rolholt ing, bragging coward " Parolles " is the strongest figure. in _the_ drama -leis second only to "Falstaff" in. in terest, and if the fat knight bad never• beeti created, "Parolles" would have held, the 'dace of honor in literature as, the representative, of empty, noisy poltroons. - The events that clus ter about this figure alone furnish an exctu3e for classing the. play among comedies. His deeds, and, the jesting of which he is made the -victim, are essentially comic and may rank with the best humorous efforts of, the drama- , tist. All the rest is sentimental and serious to the verge of - tragedy. The story, of the play is;' a somewhat sad one, and by no means nice. 'Shakespeare took it from Boccaccio, and al-1 though he has ornamented it with his wit and 'dignified it, in some measure;' with the crea-' tions of his genius, it is yet far from be ing , invested with 'nobility-. It is a subject which : does not offer many in ducements to an exercise of the best. efforts of the imagination.. ; It is .intrinsically a nasty subject. The climax of theplay is not' written in the play, and'could not be. but it is the consummation of, a trick, which;bowever justifiable. morally, Is &gusting in eontem plation. It was, a matter of wonder and per plexity how liars. Drew would , manage to cut and arrange this diama so 'that it would be presentable to' the. public. •To' ingenuity less experienced, than hers in matters pertaining to the stage,,,,this seemed to be impossible without injuring it hopelessly. It. seemed its' if the soiled threads could, not - be,Withdrawn. , ' without destroying the whole texture of the. fabric.

The dangerhere is that the actor will overdo the ,busine.ss; and '•• hurt the situation with low comedy. Mr. Craig played it, like a true artist. There was not , a' ' movement or atone that the nicest criticism could require to be changed. • This was by far the most effective scene in the performance, as it is the most delightful chapter in the play. Mr. James gave an admirable representation of " Count Bertram," and dressed for the part with faultless taste. Mr. Cathcart made of the • Ringo, melancholy and lugubrious creature, as indeed the sickly monarch is.; but a little more fire might be displayed with advantage, in, such passages, for 'instance,' as that in which he commands the "Count" to marry "Helena," As " Lord Lafeu". Mr. Mackay has not a great' deal to do, but he played the part, as he does ;every _part, with judgment and taste, and, as usual his costume .and," make up" were_pre pared in the most artistic manner. Mrs. 'Mauler's personation of the " Countess" was. unexceptionably good. Mrs. Thayer and Miss Price, Mr. Hemple, Mr. Balton and Mr. Sny der, in minor characters, were satisfactory. The piece is hand.somely mounted. Most of. _the_ scenery is_ sew ; all of it is'beautiful, and the costumes are appropriate. - We consider the successful presentation of this comedy a triumph over apparently irisur-, mountable a'iliculties, and we recommend it to the public as a curiosity, which may sot be offered for examination again for along while. Few managers would have courage enough to attempt it, and fewer still could succeed with it even as well as Mrs. Drew has done. Mr. Dodwortla has prepared for this enter tainment selections of ancient melodies and harmonies, many of which are not them-. selves attractive and which gain nothing in the performance. There is plenty , of old-. fastionedmusic nelniili isbeautifill; bus i is none, which will not be marred by careless ness and inefficiency in its . presentation.
