44 111APILE 1 " A7' 111007H19 --BY -BUB - .(J ANTWITTE. '•The Clown 4.1,,,g," In the Galaxy for filarohj Of Mr. Booth's peiformance of I Hamlet litile eau be said, at least in praise, that has 'not' been wel said already. Probably no more thoughtful and finished a representation of character has been•seen since the playcvas written.. It is mere opinion, perhaps no more than mere Surmise, but I doubt so much was made of the character and of the tragedy,. it the significance and thematic value, of every line and ahnost every _word uttered by the principal parsonages was so carefully sought out and vveighed, when it was first produced under Shakespeare's ()Val eye as is now done under Dlr. Booth's. And as to the mounting of the:piece, the material fond in which it is presented, it is needless to 'say that nothing like it'Was dreamed of then, and safe to say that nothing superior if equal to, it, has since been seen in any theatre. Every scene is a grand and impressive historical picture in which the figures move and speak. It is difficult to' conceive of stage effects more' real in their seething, inore brilliant and imposing, and more in harmony with the sentiment of the tragedy, than those •we have here prodnced. Each one is a study, a composition well balanced and thought; out to the minutest de tails. The great hall in which the second act and most of the third act pais, the grouping and the movement of the personages down to • the most unimportant of them, the, cliurehyard, and the burial of Ophelia, are 'poetic concep tions, pictorial treatments of their subjects, which in spirit, keeping, and composition,' and even in effects of color, few living painters could hope to, rival. They are so complete that they leave nothing to be desired that is attainable 'by thought, research, ample' re sources, and the artist's skill. The most ex acting spectator confesses that his imagination of these scenes has been fully equalled, if not surpassed. And in this fact is to be found one reason of the dramatic ,failtire and esthetic emptiness ef this performance. For the llauzlet of Booth's , Theatre is a splendid blunder.' The blunder is in the purpose. The end in view is attained with a completeness almost without a parallel in the history of the stage ; but tharend is a false one, and all the means by which it is sought, are directly at variance with the spirit of the play, and even the mani fest material purpose of the author. Ilamlet, Is an ideal, romantic drama; a tragedy the events of which can be conceived as possible, if possible at all, only in the rudest times and among a people hardly held together by sifficient cohesive social power to be called a community. Shakespeare, taking a story made to his hand, disregarded absolutely all unity of time, of place, and even all consis tency of action and congruity of manners, that he might present in its hero his ever-living con ception of a musing, wayward, procrastinating, purposeless man, whose imagination ever out runs his action, checked as that is by reflection so quick and penetrative that he seems to see both sides of every questidn, not successively, bat at once. Now this supremely ideal and extravagantly romantic tragedy, a play the conditions of which, - regarded from the point of physical pos sibility, are impossible, Mr. Booth—yielding, as he must needs yield, to the demands of a degraded dramatic taste,or else cease playing— presents, or attempts to present, as if it were a composition in the real school of art, a drama of real, every-day life, in which the stage and the actors are to represent, and can represent, that which has been or might have been, or— like Tom Taylor's cleverly constructed " Mary Warner," which gives Miss Bateman such fine opportunities to move the hearts of her au dience to sympathy with sorrows which might 'be', their own—that which is now daily: • The realiiim of the representation sometimes embodies conceptions of great ma terial grandeur, as in the scene which is played in the gallery over the arches in the great hall, froth which the personages descend the long flights of the grand staircase ; and this realism,. on the other hand, more consistently cares even for the minutest detail of costume and of court etiquette. No obeisance due ,to the heir apparent is omitted; and even when the two recorder-players enter in their flame-colored robes, the Prince of Den mark does not receive an instrument from one of them, but through the hands of a courtier. • But the realism of the representation goes further : it penetrates even Mr. Booth's action and his speech. Of this au instance, exhibiV ing perhaps the most extraordinary combina tion of attitude and elocution ever seen on the stage, appears in the first act. When the ghost disappears, saying, "Hamlet. remember me," Mr. Booth, who has listened kneeling, falls to the ground, representing Hamlet as over whelmed by the tumult of his emotion. He lies still a moment, and then, tossing about as a man might who had been so disturbed and was so exhausted, be begins the following so-' liloqity before he rises, and actually speaks the first - lines, 'Kt' all you host of heaven? 0 earth ! What else? And shall I couple. bell ?" etc., lying flat on his back looking up to the sky, and with his head toward the. audience. Now, as so liloquy . represents, in the only possible way, man's unuttered thoughts and feelings such a delivery of this speech represents what! Would' be very : likely, and almost sure, to • happen in real life, were a man so prostrated by the effect of such a: vision. Before he collected himself sufficiently to rise and become self-possessed . and coherent, he would begin to think thoughts that spoken would be exclamations. But we may be sure that Shakespeare had no such de livery of this soliloquy in mind when he wrote it; for there is so great an incongruity between the realism of the actor's treatment and the ' ideal and romantic conception of the scene as to void the performance of all dignity, and to make it approach as nearly to the ridiculous as is possible in the hands of an artist of Mr. Booth's histrionic power. Briefly, Mr. Booth has attempted what is impossible, and what would not be desirable even if it were possible. To put Hamlet cor rectly upon the stage as to the scenery and costume is beyond the reach of research and the attainment of art; for some parts of it must needs be badly and bluntly incongruous with others. • liamlet,is, from beginning to end, in its ex ternal conditions and in its very structure and spirit, one monstrous anachronism. The play moves and ends in absolute defiance of material coherence and physical possibility. The period of its action is the most indeterminable pro blem in dramatic criticism. It runs through a possible range of nearly a thousand years, and while some passages take us back to the re motest verge of the dark ages, others not less essential bring, us down to the time of Shakespeare himself. What need to trouble ourselves about correct conformity , to the archi tecture, the furniture, and the costume of Den mark before the tenth century, when we must listen not only to the firing of cannon but to the talking about them, and when,the turbu lent close of the tragedy is brought about by a duel with rapiers in which all the,terme of the. modern fencing-school pass between the com-., Wants and the bystanders? In such a play of what value is correctness of costume? What correctness can there be ? The very upper and loWer limbs of the perisonages at 'Booth's 'Theatre are at variance, opeiaAnd palpable; the legs tied up with cress-bands in the style of the Bayeux ta pestry, ,-, , and • their arms holding "rapiers which dklrnot come into use until the . reign of .Elizabeth,. .six hundred. years afierwards. " Hamlet " and "LaerteS," to fight in char acter, should hack at each other with double- edged axes. Andnote's.antent with such anaCht otlisms as those already indicated, Shakespeare giventO the Danes in the dark ages the Frq„diali coroner's inquest with its laws, and the funehl Ceram:Mies 'of the Ro man pathetic Church; although the period of the story on which, the tragedy is founded is four centuries before that at which Christianity was introduced into Denmark.. Finally,the anachronism of this great tragedy is not limited to its material forms and physical conditions, to points of cOstume, of custom, or, even of law. The anachronism most monstrous of all in Hamlet is "HamletThimself,embodying as he does in act and speech the thought; the spirit, the purpose of the tragedy. At any time of the many centuries during which the events of the tragedy may be supposed to have taken, place, and certainly at that chosen, 'and well chosen,by Mr. Booth,such a character as "Ham let" .was impothible, or, irnot•Bath a character; at least a character so revealing itself in Words. The period of the i story which is the frame work of the play, and that indicated by the events in the play itself,is oneof bartiavism and the reign of physical force,onein which Ilata let's" introspective philosophizing was as abso lutely impossihle as " Pol obi owes?. reference tb,' the supremacy of France in the realm of rastion. Andeth the Dane, the soliloquy. "To be or not to be," and the musingain the churchyard, the reflection §on men, indeed'— alma every thought uttered' by >Shakespeare% Prince, .were ea'inconceivable as a discourse on the electric telegraph or a discussion of the laW, of nations. Wise men live'in all: ges'of the iverld's gross, and among all peoples; but speculations in psycholou and introspective dissections of men's hidden motives belong to periods of high intellectual culture, when brute force has long been subjected to reason; and the mind, of man, grown familiar with the world'S 'outside, begins to turn its eye upon itself. In the Iliad, the Nibelungenlied, the Chanson de Roland, and the Norse Sagas—those great and almost contemporary epics'of rude times; like those in which the Hamlet presented to us ,in the old tale and at Booth's Theatre lived—we find no trace • of the speculative habit and power of mind, the representation of which in an extreme and morbid form is ' the chief end and purpose of Shakespeare's tragedy. To attempt the representation of such a play as this in a realistic style is preposterous. It seeks the unknown and tries the impossible; and more tbanall, it is at• war with the very purpose and spirit 'of the work. In Hamlet, costume, scene, all material forms and physical conditions are nothing. Here, more even than in any'other of his plays,Sbakespeare deals with the naked soul of man. The scenery required is only enough to suggest the situations. And indeed, to put Hamlet on the stage as Shake speare wrote it with realistic scenery would be a physical impossibility. In the Hamlet of our stage, even with Mr. Booth's intelligent and reverential restorations, much of the original is omitted. To present the succession of scenes that Shakespeare wrote in the style in which Mr. Booth produces it, would be beyond the ingenuity of the carpenter and the art of the scene painter. As to the cos tume, it may well be that of any period except our own—that of Elizabeth's day, in which we may be sure it was first performed, that of Charles the First's time, or even the bob-wig, broad-flapped velvet coat, and knee-buckles 'in which Garrick played it, or any other that would remove the action from associations with our practical and materialistic time., The only point as to the scenery and costume of this play which is absolute and essential to its proper presentation, is that neither should at tract any attention; a good point as to the scenery and costume of any play that rises above burlesque or spectacle,an important point as to high comedy and tragedy, but most im portant as to Hamlet among all tragedies.

She is schooner -rigged, and of 260 tons,. British measurement. On the,lsth of Novena- , berllast; she left Liverpool , for this city, with a cargo' consigned to Penrose, Maisey de Co. From the very first moment of her departure, a variable stone prevailed. On the sth of De cember she put into llOlyhead bay, for repairs. When she had completed these, a steam tug, , the Rescue, in essaying to tow her to sea, collided with the barkentine, crushing the ; Planks on the starboard side, bending the iron rods of lower rigging, and starting some ;of the seams. On the 30th of :December, a ter rific sea broke over her, completely engulphing her; the gale burst the main sails, and the rush ,p 1 water tore off the bulwarks, setting !everything movable on, deck adrift. On the sth of January, the wirestays to the top-masts (parted, and the sea broke over the unfortunate ;vessel fore and. aft,tearing away more of the bulwarks and starting the timbers. The ship leaked badly, and the men were constantly 'kept at the pumps. On the Bth another sea burst over the vessel. In endeavoring to take ''in sail, the schooner laboring heavily, the can .vas was torn to shreds. On the oth, to the !horror of the men, the rudder was discovered , 'to be gone. In this condition a squall from !the north struck her, careening her over and ;burdening her with water. The men worked at the pumps all day and night. On the 10th, while engaged in' constructing a temporary frudder, a sea broke over the vessel, laying her lover on her bearn. ,ends. Ou the 11th, she pitched so heavily that the' men could hardly }save theinselVes m. .fro going over; the jury 'rudder erected was of no avail. On the 12th a new set of sails were torn to shreds. On the 13th, a steamer was signalled, but refused' to 'come to the , ald of the crew: On the 14th, the vessel was unmanageable. It was evident that the crew were in a position, of great peril. The , sails were again blown 'to rags. The sea was ,on fire with phOsphorus. She was then thirty miles froni the capes..

NEW JERSEY MATTERS. SPECIAL MPFTINO'.—Last evening a special meeting of Camden :City Council was held for the purpose of appointing a committee of two from each Ward to act in conjunction with a similar committee which had already been ap pointed by the citizens at a meeting held on the 10th inst. The object of this joint com mittee .is to investigate the complaints go numerously made in reference. to the ,bad . quality, high rates and scanty supply of gas as furnished to consumers. The Chair appointed on the committee . the following named gentlemen: North Ward—Messrs. Cole and Calhoun; Middle Ward, Messrs. Iszard and Watson South Ward, Messrs. McDowell and H. B.
