WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,,1858
LOAD SIACATJLAY VERSUS WILLIAM
Lord ISIAe AuLAy s it may bo remembered
dealt very hardly with the memory of WIL
LIAM PENN, the founder of Pennsylvania.
PENN found a defender in Mr. 11E14011111
Dixon, the present editor of the London
slihpluttim, who issued two or three pamphlets,
in which ho earnestly required MACAULAY to
take back his charges. MACAULAY took no
notice of pamphleteer or pamphlets, and edi
tion after edition of the " History of Eng.
land , from the accession of JAMES the
Second," has appeared, during the last eight
year., perpetuating the open charge and in.
sidlous insinuations against WILLIAM PENN.
Last month was commenced the publication,
" revised and corrected by the author," of
a new and greatly cheaper edition of 'the His
tory—so that instead of paying $2O, the Lon
don price, for, the work in four volumes, it can
be obtained at $10.50, for • seven volumes,
much more beautifully printed and , got
Two of these volumes, issued monthly, have
appeared, and It is understood, or expected,
that when the last volume of this Issue has
been published, two more volumes will appear
bringing the History far Into the reign of Queen
ANNE. Nor is it expected that Lord MAce.v,-
LAY will be able to extend his narrative be
yond the death of "Brandy Nan," as her
Majesty was familiarly called. Lord Msuort'a
History of England, it may ho remembered,
runs from the Peace' of Utrecht in 1718 to the
Peace of Versailles in 1788 ; but Lord-MACAU
LAY, picturesque• painter that he is, is not
likely to forego the pleasure of describing the '
death-bod of Queen ANNE, when Ai+ lethargic
woman, beset by the leaders of contending
factlons, had, just sufhpienreonseionaness re
maining to place the Tretteurer's Nittir into the
hands of tlieDrilte . Of Shrewsbury', and entreat .
him, with feeble accents, to use it for the
good of her people.
MAOAIILAY't3 original charge against WILLIAM
PENN, which he repeats ill the revised and
corrected edition, stands thus :
-
"An ,order was sent down to Taunton that all
these little girls .should be seised and imprisoned.
Sir Francis Warm of,lfestemearthe,the Tory,mem
her for Bridgewater, was requested to undertake
the office of exacting the ransom. lie was charged
.to declare in strong language that the Maids of
Honour would not endure delay, that they were de
termined to prosecute to, outlawry, unless a reit
,sonable sum, were forthcoming, and. that by a rota ,
sonablo sum were meant seven thousand pounds,
Warre excused himself from taking any part in a
transaction so •seandalons. The Maids offonour
then requested William Penn to act for them, and
Penn accepted the commission."
Mr. HEMONTM Dixon contended, In his
"Life of Penn," that his hero, WILLIAM PENN,
was not the pardon -broker described by MA
CAULAY ; that the actual delinquent wan a cer
tain Geonan, PENNE, who waft at Taunton a t
the time ; that this GEOACE PENNE was there
and then employe& hi selling pardons ; that
-he was a likely person to be employed .by
SOMEERET and the Maids of Honor, on 8116114
matter, as he had corresponded-with the Privy
Council ; his letters, to this day, being entered
In the Registers of the Privy Council; and
that the whole character of `lrtiltsit rEsx
was opposed to the idea of his complicity in
such a deed as liscatmar charged with With.
Though Mr. HErwonte Dixon put his points
in rather a pedantic and dictatorial- manner,
there evidently was substance in them. In
our judgment, ho cleared away the imputations
against WILLIAM PENN. It happens that Lord
MACAULAY is of a different opinion. He has
preserved' his original text unaltered, with the
addition of a justificative note, which, though
long; is too full of interest and importance
not to be quoted here, in Nil. The note runs

Duke of Somerset to Sir F. Warm; Letter of Sun
derland to,renn,' February 1 30. 6 8 5 '6, (tutu the
State Paper °Mee, in the Mackintosh Collodion.
(1848.) The letter of Sunderland la as follows :
" 4 Wnirsnam., Feb. reee-o.
"'Mr. Penne,—lfer Majesty's Maids of Honour
baying acquainted me that they designe to emPloy
yen and Mr. Walden in making a composition with
the relations of the Maids of Taunton for the high
misdemeanor they have been guilty of, I do at
their request hereby let you !thew that His Ma

Maids of, Hottour,.and therefore recommend it to

Sir, your humble servant. SUNDERLAND.'
—That the parson- to whom this letter woe ad
dressed was 'William Penn the Quaker was net
doubted by Blames Mackintosh, who first brought
It to light, or; ea far as •I•aur aware, by' any ther
person, till after the publication of thefirst part of
this history. It his since been confidently asserted
that the letter was encased to a embalm George
Penne, who _appears from an old acoount-book,
lately discovered. to leave been concerned in a ne
gotiation for the ransom of one of Monmouth's fol
lowers, named Acarlah Pinney. If I thought that
I had committed nn error, I should, I hope, hare
the honesty to acknowledge it. But, after full con
.lideration,ape satisfied that ;Sunderland's letter
was addressed to William Penn, • Much has been
said about the way in which the name le spelt.
The Quaker, we are told, was not Mr, Penne, but
Mr. Penn. I feel assured that no person convergent
with the beetle and manuscripts of the seventeenth
century will attach any importance to this argu.
meat. It is notorious that a proper name was
then thought to be well spelt if tho sound wore
preeorved. To go no further than the persons
who, in Penn's time, held the Great Seal, one of
them is sometimes Hyde, and sometimes Hide;
another is Jeffories, Jeffries, Jefferoys, and Jef
freys ; a third to Somers, Sommers, and Summers;
a fourth is Wright, and IVrighte; and a fifth ie
Cowper and Cooper. The Queker's name was
spelt in three way'. Be, and his tether, tho Ad
miral, before him, invariably, as far as fhave ob
served, spelt it Penn; but most people spelt
it Pen; and there were thine •who adhered to
the ancient form, Penne. For example, Wil
liam the father is Penne in a letter from
Disbrow to Thurloo, dated en the 7th of De
cember, 1851 ;. and William the son is
Penne in a nows-loiter of the 22d of Septem
ber, 1688, printed in the Ellis Correspon
dence. In. Richard Ward's 'Life and Letters
of Henry More,' printed in- 1710, the name
of the Quaker will bo found spelt in all the
three ways,Penn in the index, Pen in page
197, and Penne in page 311. The name is
Penne in the Commission whiob the Admiral
carried out with him on his expedition to the
West Indies. Burdett, who became Secretary
to the Admiralty soon after the Revolution, and
remained in office long after the accession of the
noun of Hanover, always, in his Naval History,
wrote the name 'Penne. Surely it cannot, be
thought strange that an old-fashioned spelling, in
which the Secretary of the Admiralty persisted so
late as 1720, should have been used at the office of
the Secretary of State in'l6B6. I am quite eel&
dent that, if the letter which we are considering
bed been of a difibrent kind, If Mr. Penne had
been informed that, In consequence of his earnest
intercession, the King had beemgraolonsly pleased
to grant a free pardon to the Taunton girls, and if
I had attempted to deprive the Quaker of the
credit of that intercession on the ground that his
name was not Penne, the very persons who now
complain so bitterly that I am unjust to 1118 me
mory_would hare complained quite as bitterly,
and, I must say, With much more reason. I think
myself, therefore, perfectly justified in considering
the names, Penn and Penne, as the same."
We interrupt the quotation, to say that
liLteatmAy is tot justified In considering the
names of PENN and PENNE, as the 881110. As
Mr. Dthou says, "A letter is found addressed
to Mr. PENNE. " There is a Mr. PENNE. He
spells his name PENNE. TllO Pinner fhmily
spell his name Parma. Everybody spells his
name PENNE. In deeds, petitions, Acts of
Parliament, it is spelt PENNE. Moreover, he
is a pardon-broker. He Is at Taunton. He is
actually engaged in soiling pardons. Why,
then, assume Hull, the writer of the letter is
ignorant of the mode in which his correspond.
eat writes his name e" Lord Macaulay pro
coeds;
"To whioh, then, of the two persons who bore
that name, George or William, is it probable that
the letter of the Secretary of State wan addressed
George was evidently an adventurer of A very low
class. All that we learn about him from the papers
of the Pinney family is that he was employed in
the purchase of El pardon , for the younger son of a
dissenting minister. Tbo whole sum which appeare
to have passed through George's hands on this
occasion was "sixty-five pounds.. His commission
on the transaction must therefore have been small.
The only other informatioU width we have about
him is that he, some time later, applied to the
Government fur a favor widish was very far from
being an honor. In England the GroomPurter of
the Pekoe had a jurisdiction over games of chance,
and made some very dirty gain by Issuing lottery
tickets and licensing hazard tabler George ap
pears to have petitioned for a similar privilege in
the American colonies.

by business of this kind, iebrutus negotiationibuir

to it were every day blocked up by crowds of per-t
sons who came to request his good of fi ces; 'donuts.,
no vestibule quotidlo roforta °Bending otsupplioan,' ,
tium.' From the Fountainhall papers it appears
that his intluenae was felt oven in the highlands
of Scotland. We learn from himself that, at thie
time; ho was always toiling for others, that ho 'was
a daily suitor at Whitehall, and that, if ho bad,
ohoson to sell his influence, he could, in little
snore than three years. have put twenty thousand,
pounds into his pocket, and obtained a hundred,
thousand more for the improvement of the colony,
of which ho was proprietor. Snell was the poss.,
tion of these two men. Which of them, then, was
the more likely to be employed in the matter to:
which Sunderland's letter related? :Was it George
or William, an agent of the lowest or of the high
est claps? The persons interested were ladies
of rank and fashion , _ resident at the palaoo,
where George would hardly, have been admitted
into an outsr room, but where William was
every day in the presence chamber, 'and was fre
quently called into this clout. The greatest no-.
Isles in the kingdom were zealous and active In
the cause of their fair friondS, nobles with whom
William lived in habits of familiar: intercourse,
but who would hardly have thought George fit
company for their grooms. The suits in question
was seven thousand pounds, a suni not largo when
compared with the masses of wealth' with which
William had constantly to deal, hut more than a
hundred times as large as the only ransom which is
known to have passed through the hands of George
These considerations would suffice to raise a strong
presumption that Sunderland's letter was addressed
to William, and not to George; bat thereto a still
stronger argument behind. it IS most important
to observe that the person to whom this, etter was
addressed was not the first person whom the Maids
of Honour had requeeted to net for them. They
applied to him, because another person, to whom
they had previously applied, had, after Dome cor
respondence, declined the office. From their first
application we learn with certainty what sort of
person they wished ,to employ. If it sir first appli
dation had been Made to some obscure pettifogger
or needy gambler, we should be warranted in be
lieving that the Penne to whom their second ap.
pliontion was 'side was George. If, on the other
hand, their first'application was made to a gentle
man of flier highest consideration; we can hardly
be wrong in saying that the Penne to whom their
second application was made melt have been Wil
liam. To whom; then, was their first application
made? It was to Sir Francis Warre, of Hester
combs, a baronet and a member of Parliament.
The l etters are still extant in which the Duke of
Somerset, the proud Niko, 'nor a man very likely
to have corresponded with George Penne, pressed
Sir Franois to undertake the commission. The
latent M these letters is dated about three weeks
before Sunderland's letters to Mr. Penne Somerset
tells Sir Franois that the town clerk of Bridgewater,'
whose name, I may remark in passing, is spelt
sometimes Bird and sometimes Birde, bad offered
his services, but that those services bad boon
doellised. It is clear, therefore, that the Maids of
Honour were deeltous to have an agent of high
station and character. And they were right. For
the sum which they demanded was so large that no
ordinary jobber could safely be entrusted with the
care of thelrinteresta. As Slr Francis Warre ex
cused himself from undertaking the negotiation,
it became necessary for the Maids of Honour and
their advisers to choose somebody who might sup
ply his pines; and they ohm Penne. Which of
the two Penises, then, must have boon their oholoe,
George, a potty broker to whom a poreentage on
sixty-live pounds was an object, and whose highest
ambition was to derive an infamous livelihood
from cards and slice, or William, not inferior in so
oial position to any commoner In the kingdom? Is
it possible to believe that the ladies who, in Jane
all, employed the bake of Somerset to procurator
them as agent in the first rank of the English
gentry, and who did not think an attorney, though
occupying a respectable post in a respeetable cor
poration, good enough for their purpose, would, in
February, have resolved to trust everything to a
follow who was as much below Bird as Bird was be
low Warr° ?
" But, it is said, Sunderland's letter is dry and
distant; and he never would have written in such
a 'style to William. Penn, with whom he was on
friendly terms. Can It be necessary for me to
reply that the official communioations whieh a
minister of State makes to his dearest friends and
nearest relations are as cold and formal as those
Which he makes to strangers? Will It he oontauded
that the General Wellesley, to whom the Marquess
Wellesley, when Governor of India, addressed so
many letters beginning with Sir,' and ending with
'I have the honor to bo your obedient servant,'
cannot possibly have been his Lordship's brother
Arthur? But, it Is sold, Oldmixon tells a different
story. According to him, a Popish lawyer, named
Brent, and a subordinate jobber, named Crane,
were the agents in the matter of the Taunton
girls. Now it is notorious that of all our historians
Oldmixon is the least trustworthy. Ills most pool
tire assertion would be of no value when opposed to
ouch evidence as is furnished by Sunderland's
tot
ter. But Oldmixon assorts nothing positively.
Not only does he not assert positively that Brent
and Crane anted for Gat:Maids of lionour, 'but he
does not even assert positively that the Maids of
Nanette wore at all concerned. Ile goelfne further
than 'it was said,' and 'it was reported.' It is
pleb, therefore, that he was very imperfectly in
formed. I do not think it impossible, however,
that there may have been some foundation for the
rumor which be mentions. We have seen that one
busy lawyer, named Bird, volunteered to look after
the interests of the Maids of Honour, and that they
were forced to tell him that they did not want his
Services. Other persons, and among them the two
whom Oldnaixon names, may have tried to thrust
themselves into so lucrative a job, and may, by
pretending to interest at Court, have succeeded in
obtaining a little money from terrificil
But nothing can be more clear than that the au
thorized agent of the Maids of Honour was the Mr.
Patine to whom the Secretary of State wrote; and
I firmly believe that Mr. Penne to have been Wil
liam the Quaker.
' "Hit be said that it is incredible that so good
a man would have been cottoned in so bad an
affair, I oan enly answer that this affair was very
far indeed from boiog the worst in which he was
concerned. For them 13360119 I leave the text,
and shell leave It, exactly as it originally stood.
(1857.)"
Here, then, is the whole of-Lord MA.
CAULAE'EI Metes against WILLIAM PENN. We
make no apology for its length, because it is
important, and the book from which it is ex
tracted has not yet reached this country. To
us, Lord liAcxur,Ar's elaboration appears
weak and inconclusive, and his concluding
trick kcf spergero vices to ambiguas") of in.
Omitting that ho could utterly destroy PENN,
if it so pleased him, shows a determination to
stand by his prejudices, right or wrong,
which must weaken his authority as a his-
torian. To wind up, about WILLIAM PENN,
by slanderously saying "I can only answer
that this affair was very far indeed tYom being
the worst in which ho was concerned," is an
assumption of authority wholly unjustifiable.
It is toobad for WILLIAM PENtes character to
bo thus paragraphed away, a hundred and
forty years after his death, by Lord 31noAtr.

FROM KANSAS.
Correspondence of The Press.]
POILT SCOTT, K. T., Jan. 14, 1858
Heretofore I have been calculating so much
upon the fame of Fort Scott as to take it for
granted that your readers know its exact loca
tion. It might have been more proper in the
outset, to have stated that it is within about
sixty miles of the southern boundary of the
Territory, and about ninety miles south of
Kansas city. The latter is its nearest steam
boat landing. A glance at the snap will show
that wo are within about six miles of the Mis
souri lino. We are ono hundred and eighty
miles froin Jefferson city, the furthest western
point to which the cars now run. We are
about one hundred and twenty miles south
east of Lecompton. Any of the old maps of
the country will show our position. We aro
not a more paper town, but the oldest, or at
least the second, in the Territory.
Fort Scott was an old military post, built by
the Government at an expense of about $200,-
000. In 1865, upon the withdrawal of the
troops, the buildings were sold to individuals.
It was incorporated into a town by the first
Legislature of the Territory. It was at the
same time made the county-seat of Bourbon—
ono of the oldest, wealthiest, and most norm
lous counties of Kansas. Tho United States
district court has been located here by act of
Congress, also the United States land office
for southern Kansas. We are one of the five
places of the Territory that have received a
bank charter—an item of no great consequence,
except to indicate the deference that has been
I paid to us by the Legislature. A university
has also been chartered, and two railroad com
panies—the latter for the purpose of snaking
Fort Scott the point of intersection for roads
north and south, and cast and west. The
Methodist church south has a good school
here. They intend also to establish a semi
nary for young ladies.
The Fort buildings surround a large plaza
in the shape of a public square. Some of
these originally cost about $lB,OOO, They aro
finished in the best style of eastern mansions,
with large porticoes and pillars in front and
rear, and all painted white. Inside they are
finished with the best walnut-mantels, doors,
windows, &c., carved in the neatest style. In
front is a flag-stone pavement about fifteen
feet wide, skirted with a row of large shade
trees. The plaza is a beautiful blue-grass
sward, dotted here and there with trees. It
contains In largo public well, which is covered
with.a high structure pillared and roofed, and
affording a good imitation of Grecian archi
tecture. In these mansions some of our most
prominent citizens reside. One of them, is
known as the i‘ Fort Scott Hotel: , It is kept
by Mr. Campbell, of Michigan, in a style that
would surprise your untravelled readers.
Another is the residence of Governor Ran

February 23, 1821, at a poor Inn; in an insigul
fican4Village called Munf, canton of Arau, Salt
a-Ortega,a female child was born, and named Eli.
zabetit.Bachel. her mother, who had wandered
there Who delivered, was a Jewish woman, named
Rothe} hays, wife of n travelling Pedlar, Felix, a
native; of Meta, France. Such was the obscure
origin of the future queen of the drama. '
For the next nine or ten years, the father, rue
thor, and children travelled from fair to fair, from
village to village, through Switzerland, Germany,
and Franco. During the last two years of the
time they found shelter in Lyons, and there car
ried on'their small traffic. It is Said that while in
this pheas,'Sarah, the eldest child, frequently wont
about lathe rafts singing, and accompanying her
self on the guitar, and that her sister Rachel col
!Mod the contributions. In 1235 they found
their way from Lyons to Paris, where they esta
blished themselves in a poor dwelling in the Place
de Greve.
FrOmthis point of time to the date of her ap
pearance 'at the Thiltre-Franeels, we have no
very call account of her life. Anecdotes innumera
ble, enough to till a volume, have appeared in print
concerning Raohel's childhood, but we reject most
of themes purely apocryphal, and give place only
to those events which we know to be accurately
stated. It is certain that her talent foreran her
Veen), and that her father was quick to pereeive it.
We may mention bore that he is a man of decided
intellect, Ihough uneducated, and it Is from him,
rather than from the mother, that the talent) of
their eidldren have been derived.
In 1831, at ten years of age, she was taken by
her father to the well-known musician and vocal
instruetor,ll. Oberon, who had established
singing class at his house, In the Rue Monsigny,
and wits admitted among his pupils. Ten months
after, she attended a elan of declamation kept by
Saint-Aulairo, formerly an actor of the Theatre-
Francais Ono of her first, if not her very first
appearapea in public, took plane at the small
Thedtrolloildre, in 183 d, when little more than
fifteen years of age. The part she played was
Reunion° in Rasine's Andromaque.
tier meting was spoken of in snob high terms
that /44enein. do la Salle, then manager of the
Fra4als,,vieetto see her play Aminaide, ho Vol
talre's Tancrede. So high was bis estimation of
her talent, that he procured her en order of ad
utittaneo to the Conservatoire, dated October 27,
183 e. In this institution she was placed under the
tuition of Messieurs Mieholot, Samson, and Pro
vost. But it hi rather strange that these pro'es
sors did not entertain a very favorable idea of her
capacity, nor did they think that elle would profit
to any great extent by their Instructions.
Ono evening, however, while pitying at the
Salk Chantoreine, a private , theatre in the Rue de
la Vlitoire, where amateur performances are oc•
easionally given, she attracted the notice of M.
Retrain), manager of the Oymnase. Iler acting
pleased him so much, that ho at once offered her
an engagement for three years, at the rate of 3.000
franosis6oo) for the first year, 4,000 (WO) for the
second, and 6,000 ($1,000) for the third, which ahe
aeceptad, and made her claw April 24, 1337, in a
new place written for the occasion, and caned La
Vend'Oenne.
Tho play was not a good one, and her first al.
peararee was not attended with any remarkable
success. But other characters displayed her
powers to better effect, and it aeon became Ewa
rent that A minor theatre was not the sphere for
the genius of Rachel. M. Vedel, formerly the
treasurer, but now manager, of the Tbdfitre
Franots, offered her an engagement, and M.
Bohm, from a wish to ho of real service to her,
agreed to cancel her engagement with him. A
new engagement was signed, by which the young
actress became a pensionnaire of the Thinitre
Franois, at a salary of 4,000 francs (,800) for the
Bret year.
Hoy debut at that theatre, on the 12th of Juno,
1838, when seventeen years of ago, is so well
narrated by an eye-witness that we prefer to give
his account of it, tviiich we translate literally from
the fourth volume of "Miimoires un Bourgeois
do Purie, par lo Doetour L. Viiron :"
° On a fine summer evening, the 12th of Juno,
1838, seeking for seclusion and solitude, (and by
seeking aright one finds everything in Paris, even
seclusion and solitude,) towards eight or nine
o'clock I entered the Thidtre Francais. There
were but four spectators in the orchestra ; I made
the fifth. My attention was attracted to the
stage by a strange faoo, full of expression, with a
prominent forehead, a dark eye, sunk in the
socket, full of fire—and ail this placed upon a thin
figure, but one which bad a certain elegance in its
postures, its movements, and its attitudes; a thrill
ing :voice, sympathetic, of most unnatural vane,
and, above all, extremely intelligen t,fixed my wan-
dering thoughts, which were more inclined to list
lessness admiration. This singular physiog
nomy—tl W eye full of tire—this meagre form—
this voice of so much intelligence—were Mademol.
soils Rachel's. Rho spoke for her first appearance
the part of Camille, in Les Hyraces. The vivid
and profound impression made upon roe in an in
stant by the young tragedienne awakened a crowd
of confused recollections. By dint of interroga
ting my memory, I was alto to recall a singular
physiognomy playing the part of La Vendienne, at
the Thiiitre de Gymnast , . I could recall, also, a
meanly dressed young girl, badly shed, who being
asked in my presence in the corridor of a play
house, what she was doing there, replied, to my
groat immurement, in a tenor voice, and In the most
serious tone, "I am miming my studies." I re
cognised in Mademoiselle Rachel the singular
physiognomy of the Theatre de G ymnaee, and
the meanly dressed girl who was "pursuing her
studios."
"During the months of Juno and July I found but
few converts to my new worship, though Made
moiselle Rachel played Camille. Emilie, and
Ilernsione. From the beginning of August, how
ever, despite the dog-days, her performances in
the same parts began to he better attended. At
length, during the month of October, the young
tragedienne played nine times, and the smallest re
ceipts to Monime in Mithridate, rose to three
thousand Mx hundred and "sixty-nine francs ninety
centimes. The receipts exceeded six thousand
francs when she acted Iformione. It was a com
plete victory and an intoxicating triumph. Itaeine
and Corneille lived wrong us again as in
the great days of Louis XIV; a delirious populari
ty raged for the young tragedienne and the old
tragedy.
"While yet a child, Mademoiselle Rachel, al
ready admitted tt the C'entierrettaire, requested
to have private lessons from M. Provost, an ar
tistjustly esteemed and of considerable talent, as.
soctato member of the Comedie Franeaise. At '
the sight of this poor girl. feeble and needy, ho
observed ; Go toll bouquets, my child," The
young liennione avenged herself ono night
with the moat charming wit, for the contempt of
her eonirado, 60 false a prophet. Tho house was
crowded; all the boxes wore filled with the very
highest fashion. Rachel had appeared in
normione. She was applauded with enthusiasm;
she was recalled with frenzy ; and when the cur
tain fell she could fill her Greek tunic with the
flowers thrown upon the stage. She hastened in
quest of Lim whose only lesson had been the advice
to sell bouquets; and falling on her knees, with
the most graceful coquetry, she said, I have fol
lowed your advice, M. Provost: I sell bouquets.
Won't yea buy of me ?" The accomplished mister
raised the yming artist, smiling) and expressed
hie entire eatisfaetion in being on eompletety nits
taken.
. ,
"The fame of Dante - Rachel descended Very
rapidly from the 000apetent judges, and the fine
flower of the aristocracy, to the groat mass of the
public. In all the papers, small and great, there
was soon no topic but this brilliant and charming
star, who was shedding her rays over the gray and
gloomy sky of the tragedy of the Thntre Bran ,
gabs. Merle and Jules Janin, by their warm
mdse, gave lt;tters patent of nobility to the youth•
Sul genius. It was a contest who should surround
thayoung artist with the most romantics interest,
by relation the misery, the sorrow, and the vagrant
life of ber childhood, from its very outset. The
arts wore emulous in depicting this favorite of the
tragic, muse; nothing'was to be seen but Rachelin lithograph, in oil, in statuettes.
" Great names and large fortunes like to play the
Maorenaa to Tieing celebrities. "
"It was a fashion and a gre luxury to have the
wild HermiOne in one's' Eaton. She could
soon count among her friende, who overwhelmed
her with attentions and presents,lhe moat distin
guished pereons of the French soolety, as well as
all the foreigners or distinction then in Paris. No
reunion, no literary files, at l'Atbaye aux Lois,
Madame neoarqier!s abode, but was graced by
Eld'lle Rachel. In all public Places her presence
was quite an event.' When she attended the Sea
'dons of the Chamber of Deputies, which she often
did, playing the great lady who affected politics;
she attracted the attention of this assembly of
sages, and even somewhat bewildered the nista. ,
ouk orators wham she came to hear and to study.
"How much tact and good.taste must have been
necessary to sustain this sudden transition from
the lowest misery to all theintoxicatiort of success,
to this brilliant position of this *oiliest child of
fortune, of fashion, and of the public! - Ear suc
cess in the drawing-room, tho tender regard with
which she managed to inspire women of distinc
tion, men of intellect and learning, cannot be ex
plained but by alloWing her the rarest qualities
not of an actress, but of an amiable, refined, self- I
possessed young girl.
* * * w * , * * *
. "Mademoiselle Rachel certainly studied her parts
moat carefully. She first copied them out with
her own band ; she noted the striking situations;
the couplets where the characters are revealed ;
then she composed, prepared, and toned down each
part in Its general effect. Her judgment, her quick
and penetrating mind,and her theatrical experience
rendered her very susceptible of progress. She
always played her parts better the second time
then the first. She often created new af
fects. In the fourth act of Les Horace',
especially, her pantomime, when she learns
the death of, her lover, was a, great scenic
effect, but it excited terror rather than tears.
Mademoiselle Rachel herself told me that it
was from an illness of her own that she took
the Idea and execution of this pantomime;
she had boon bled, and on the etage she merely
reproduced the utter exhaustion, and painful
symptoms of the syncope which resulted. It was
always a source of surprise ~to coo that the health
of this fragile young creature could struggle
against so much fatigue—such severe study—so
many emotions—and such long and rough jour
neys."
Rachel's career at the Theatre Francais wee
signalired only by triumphs : there were no re
verses for her Whether in the ancient er the
modern drama, the classic or the romantic sohool
of acting, she was always great, always admirable.
But not only in Paris was she successful; in all the
groat provlnelal theatres of France, in England, in
Germany, and at St. Petersburg she gained ap
plause for the genius of Corneille and Racine.
In her 'startling originality, her almost miracu
lous effects, and her . sudden bursts of passion, she
not unfrequently recalled to our mind the acting
of the elder Kean. She utterly confounded the
traditions and the mannerisms of the French stage,
and oho often gave a new meaning and force to a
phrase, and even to a single word, by her way of
uttering It. She Imitated no one, not even herself.
Jules Janin said of her, " Yon must not ask her
before the piece begins how the will say a certain
sentence, for she eangot tell you; the impulse is
momentary and spontaneous. She is like the Py
thoness of Virgil, first pale, her body bent, her
arms banging down ; but on the arrival of the god,
her exhausted nature recovers its animation, the
fire mounts from her heel to her eye, her heart
throbs violently, and sends forth the breath of par
stun and energy. She appenre like an animated
Grecian statue, so classic is her form "
Rachel was not always mauler of a character on
her fleet performance of it, and it was sometimes
only on the third or fourth representation, when
she had acquired greater confidence in herself or in
her own conception of the part, that she was in full
possession of her great powers. liar face, and form
were modelled after the statues of ancient Greece;
her figure, though slight, was graceful and coal
makilng ; her manner of wearing elastic drapery
iinrirted a dignity and majesty to her look, walk,
and carriage, which art alone could never give.
Ilor performance of Phitlre, which at first was
thought inferior to some other parts, in a short
time proved to be the most attractive of all her
characters; the more announcement of this tra
gedy, no matter how frequently repeated, never
failed to attract the Parisian play-goers, and to fill
to overflowing the Theatre Francais. With re
ference to Raohel's conception of this character,
Madame Blase de Bur" said, "We have often stu
died Rachel's performance of the Athenian Queen,
and from the first moment She appears, we feel
that the daughter of Minos and Paslphae is actu

Nothing was ever finer, however, than her
Camille in Les Homees, the part in which she
commun.:ma her career of triumph at the Theiitre
Francais. Who, that has ever teen her in that
play, can forgot the effect of bar noting In the

against Rome ! While she spoke, every eye was
fixed on her, In order that not a sound, not a ges

ear. so deep, so unbroken, was the silence;
at last, when overcome by her own energy, and
concentrating all her strength into one final ef
fort, she, as it were, hissed out: "Mel seule en
etre cause, et mourir de plaislr !"
All Europe having paid homage to her genius,
Rachel sought fresh triumphs in the New World.
In August, 1855, she arrived at New York, and
there her success was as great even as in her own
country. Notwithstanding the disadvantage that
many labored under, of not understanding the
language in which she acted, her power enabled
her to rivet the attention of her audience; in

which she invested each of her personation&

She finished her part, Camille, with difficul

play again. Oa the 27th of the same month she
left Philadelphia for I lavana, by way of Charleston.
In the latter city she was so much better as to
bo able to perform once in Adrienne Lerourreur,
on the 17th of December. It was her last appear

which was consumption of the lungs, increased ;
and though she lived for a little more than No

the same exp&suldcinti will not permit the pffieer
to receive more than the soldier, has endeared him
to all. We are now in camp, nicely housed; the
men all in "Sibley tents." The latter sale the
necessity of huts, and are the suitable tents for the
men. The wall-tent, with a shave, is the only one
for an officer. The tents famished (Sibley 'tents)
are very inferior, especially those made by the
quartermaster—inferior in material and make, and
small and unequal in size. One tent is allowed to

This place (Fort Bridger) is admirably located ;
timber abundant close by for fuel and building;
grass can be cut within two hundred yards of the
garrison; water at the door; end it comthends
every road leading into the country. The ,Mor
mons burned the buildings of this place and Fort
Supply; at the latter piled up their grain add set
fire to it; left their potatoes, turnips, he. Ih the
ground. The walls of Fort Bridger are s tanding;
they were built fur defence last fall ; 6 feet through
at base, If at top. 18 feet high, and 100 by 110 on
one part, 100 by 75 on another. They tried to fire
the grass, but snow fell and _extinguished it: Our
snow was our salvation. When the grans was
burned the flames scorched the trees sixty feet
high. Had the command advanced sooner than it
did, the animals wouldhave starved, and the army
could not have found or reached a place of shel
ter. Our grass is eaten up for three miles
around us ; but we have animals on Smith's
Fork, (three miles off,) and there is grass enough
there for the whole bend; but no shelter arid in
sufficient wood. This valley is warm, wooded
and watered, and welcomed no. Our legs are un
tied, or fast getting to; nod when spring tomes

people design our starvation, our destruction, and
there is no device man can resort to which', they
will not practise—from areassinatien, murder,
fire, and flood. The robbers and assamint will
scatter and form bands of guerillas, and no party,
no train, no band of oxide, will piss to the valley
if they can murder, burn, or run off. The Mor
mono have great feer of mounted men; and had
not Col. Johnston brought up the two companies of
the 2tl from Laramie, (oompanies white Were to As
called to Kearney, and sohiol directions had been

been cant at the time direeted—telegraphed—not
an animal would have been lest by theft. i The
army could not, however, hare entered the valley
without leaving its supplies behind.
The Mormons are a set of cowards, like all as
sassins and bullies; and I fear their leader,, and
those who have no claims in the valley, wilt run
away, requiring their deluded followers to doetroy
their property, lest it might benefit us. The lead

will declare the Territory In rebellion ; and cell
upon all Governor', and commanding officers to
arrest and keep in custody all persons leaving the

The Overdue Steamship Azlel
[From the New York Herold of Tuesday.]
The steamship Ariel, Captain Ludlow, which
sailed front Havre and Southampton onthe 31st
ult. for this port, has not yet made her appearance.
As a matter of course, some persons expecting
friends by her feel a little alarmed in een.tequerme
of her non-arrival. We do not think that any
fears need be entertained in regard to the safety
of the Ariel, as many reasons can be admixed
which would account for the delay in her arrival.
If, for inattnee, any part of her machinery gave
way so as to prevent ber going under steam,
after being two or three days out, she could
not have reached any port in England hp to
the time of the departure of the Europa; or if
it gave way when nearly across the Atlantic—
any when ten or twelve days out—=be still would
have been unable to reach this port; aS an evi
dance of which, we may state, that no sailing ves
sel has arrived here from Enktland during the past
seven days. And again, it will be recollected that
the Collins steamer Atlantic sailed from Liverpool
on the 28th December, 1850, for Ifew York, and
when a few days out some part of her machinery
gave way, and she pot bank to Cork ; and it was
not until the 15th of February that the fact became
known in this city. It was forty-nine days before
the Atlantic misheard from. To-day is the twenty
sixth since the Ariel mailed.
When tho Ariel loft Havre she bad forty passen
gers and two hundred and fifty tons freight, so
says a Havre paper. She probably had about one
hundred passengers when she left Southampton.
The following are the names of some of those who
engaged passage at Bremerhaven: A. Boob, G.
Wilkens, J. Helleken, M. Hoffman, J. Hoffmbnn,
L. Lutgens, L. Hued, F. It. Wagner, Chr. Job
eon. A Mrs. Harris, who engaged passage after
wards, took a sailing ship.
The Ariel was built in this city, in 19.54, of the
best materials, ranks A 1, and is a superior ves
sel in every respect. We shall probably hear from

The Evergreen Anniversary of the Birthday
of Robert Burns was celebrated by the Burns Club
of New York city, at the Metropolitan Hotel in
that city, on Monday evening. The guests entered
the dining-hall preceded by a piper In highland
costume, playing a stirring march. Prominent
among the decorations of the hall were several
portraits of the Poet, around which were drepel
the flags of St. Andrew, St. George, and St. Jona
than. When the guests were seated, Mr. Robert
Barnett. the first vice-president, by way of grace
before meat, recited the famous "Address to the
Haggis." Mr. Joseph Cunningham, the president
of the club, at at the head of the table. Letters
were received from Lord Napier, Dr. Mackay, and
other foreigners of distinguished note. After the
toasts came songs by Messrs. Dunn, Gibson, and
Miller; the festivities elosad at a late hour with
Auld Lang Syne" by the company. The best
feeling prevailed; the dinner was excellent; the
speeches brief, humorous and to the point ; the
singing fine; and the whole affair, we learn by the
New lock papers, passed off in the moat satisfac
tory manner.
A letter from an officer of the United States
sloop Levant. dated Mpg Kong, November 14th,
to the New York Times, says: •• The Minnesota
arrived here on the Bth with Minister Reed, as you
in all probability hare learnt ore this. She made
the passage in Ild days She is reported to &Al
and steam well; but if so, she must have been
badly navigated to make such a long passage.
Mr. R. has been received with great favor by his
countrymen here: whether ho will be so received
by Commissioner Yoh remains to be seen. Captain
Dupont has mails the discovery since his arrival
that the Minnesota is no use on this station, as she
is not able to visit anyof the Chinese ports. Min
ister Reed takes up his residence on board the
Portsmouth, and will probably visit Macao to have
an interview with the French Minister Daring
his absence the Minnesota will be caulked and
overhauled. Der rigging is utterly worthless."
We think that there must be some mistake about
this.
The arrjval of the Adriatic on her first trip
created considerable sensation at Liverpool, and
full accounts of her build, rig, &u., were given in
several of the principal prints. The Artisan, a
scientific magazine, gave a long description of this
fine steamer, closing with the following reference
to a valuable American invention which is applied
on board: " We had well nigh omitted to state that
Silver's patent uterine governor is applied to the
engines of the Adriatic ; and Captain ii , est speaks
in the highest terms of the invention, and ex
pressed his surprise that the Government AM
steamship owners should he so blind to their own
interest as not to insist upon marine engine build
ere fitting governors on hoard every sea-going
vessel."
On Wednesday last a constable named Meeke
went to the hardware-shop of one J. W. Tysack,
in St Louis, to levy an execution. Tyzack there
upon soized a hatchet and advanced upon him,
when Meeke drew a pistol and shot him through
the heart. Meeke was arrested and discharged On
the ground that ho was justified under the circum
stances.

CITY POLICE-J. NCARY 26
illeporied for The Press.l
3ltss 'Maur GICOVEEMAN'S Par.—An unmarried
lady of very mature ago, giving in her name a.
Nelly 07014111111113, made the startling declaration
that some of tho young men at the boarding-house
where the sojourns bad " killed her Zebulon." All
enected to hear the revelation of a horri)de mur
der, but it proved that Zebulon was no nitre than
e pet monkey, the object on which Miss Melly had
lavished all her affectionate kindness. All the ar
rows of Cupid aimed at Mies Neliy's bosom had
been "quenched in the chaste beams of the watery
moon," and after trampling on the hearts of count
less adorers, (no doubt,) for a period of thirty or
forty years, she decided that the male sea of the
human species did not deserve her notice Where
fore, at the age of forty-eight, she had pretty con
clusively made up her mind to live single. (for some
time at least.) and to prove her utter disregard for
the society of man, she chose a much lemobjectiona
ble animal, viz: a monkey of the baboon tribe, to
be her pet and companion.
This favorite of hers she had dressed qv very
much in the fashionable style. and, to say the
truth, the animal behaved himself 83 well as most
youngsters supposed to be of a somewhat higher
grade in the scale of animated nature. She gave
him the name of Zebolon—in honor of a certain
hero of romance whose chsracter she greatly ad
mired. Miss Nelly paid for Zebulon's board, lc'
oording to the regular charge for male boarders at
the house where she stops, and she expected the
landlady and all the other inmates of the estab
lishment to treat Zeb with the same courtesy and
respect that would be extended to any other gen
tleman boarder in the place. It so happened that
this boarding house is the abiding place of several
young gentlemen of fashionable pretensions. who
appear to have been moved by some feeling
of envy or jealousy, to form diabolical plots

fellow-boarder Zebulon
Ills dress, tastefully arranged by Miss Nelly,
W a s , in some particulars, more elegant than that
of any other young gentleman in the house,
and nature had provided him with Iv mus
tache which was a perfect gem, so that no similar
ornament, produced by artificial cultivation, could
compare with it. These advantages. of course,
pmeured for Zebulon an abundance of the
consequence of which was that a deadly potion
of nux romica was conveyed by some fiendish
oontriver into his soup,
Intelligence of his untimely decease having
teen communicated to his distracted mistreat, she
made the whole house vocal with shrieks and la
mentations. But rememberkg the advice of
Shakspeare. " Think, then, upon reverge and
cease to weep," she put on her bonnet and shawl,
went to the M tyor's office. and denounced several
of the young gentlemen boarders as being con
cerned in the assassination. We believe that wiry
