PUBLiu AMUSEMENTS • The burlesque of "Columbus el Filibustero," first played at BUrton's Theatre, New York, some six months ago, is a piece which Mr. Brougham, • its author, amusingly describes as "a new and audaciously-original-historico-plagiarlstio, ante national,: pre-pattlotlo, and omni-looal confusion of ciPsitmetances,- running through two acts and four centuries " It was played at Aroh-Strbet Theatre, last night, to a good house, and mot with the min gled mead of laughter and applause. The part of the hero, whose, mime giyeathe . "lase a title, was filled, wl{h" all reqiiiidte extravagance, by Mr. Broughain. In "Columbus," as in "Po-on-hoz tag," the success mainly depends upon the acting of Mi. Brougham. The author-actor makes the play, In a double sense. " Columbus" is =Vouch a good burlesqllGlO eause neither. so 'witty nor extravagant, as the Inimitabl*Po-ca-hon-tas." It is deficient in the overiloAug, r . ollioki,ogpsn of its admirable and amusing predecessor... There is something out of .the way, we grant, in treating' Columbus as a fili. buster--;whicti he actuallY,:wis=but what is this cOmpared . with the incursions and love-makings of 'Captain 'John. Smith ? The literary merits of "ColumbitsWare more considerable ' There is a little bit of sixteen or eighteen Sues, in which is described the reception of a &de of broad by Co lumbar, who divides it with his half-famished son, which fa touchingly written—a semi-Ugolino sketoh, in words. The characters talk too much—or, rather, too tedimisly. The Ring is longwinded, and Columbus istiiiito,bosidis being rather tedious, in describing, as bra vision, the present United States. There is a deficiency, or rather clumsiness, in the Wroth:Wien of Columbia. But the first act WindsfttP merrily enough, though it wants the stirring sotto') which gives life and spirit to " Po ea-lton-tas." In Aot II there is much said and little done, the allegorical Columbia coming up again. The finale Is good. On the whole, "Co lumbus" to not equal to „"Po..ca-hon-tas," though as geed as any other burlesque, native or imported, of the day. It is 'scarcely fair, perhaps, to con trast the separate productions of the same author, but it is done, for " we are nothing, it not criti tal!' „ . As we have said; the piece was highly applaud- ed, and every apropos allusion,qutokly taken up by a very Crowded house. Mr. Brougham looked 'the elihracter of Cothmahus, as well as noted it, and .Tan encored in a lively song in the opening scene. But hie was noting "under difficulties,”" for Mr. games Dunn; who attempted the part of Kini Perditienttonatie ducks, and drakes of it—from not having the treuble of committing the words to memory. Not even the audible old afforded by Mr Fisher, the prompter, helped him. Of course, there is a' regular scale of fines at this theatre. Mr. Dunn, throtigh whom the effect, of the first scene was nearly undone, will have a very small salary to receive, on Saturday, ,! we gassy' if the -stoppages Brest, all in proportion to his demerits on tidencoation. '.ll , e'tiould suggest that when ho retrogniaceloqualistaneet in the stage-boxibe will riot- make• any; publio' demonstration— , eithor by speaking to them,, Smiling' at them, or trying to shake hands' With them. Ills shortcomings in the dialogue evidently annoyed Mr. Brougham. In deed, we thought, at one time, that Mr. Brougham intended addressing the audience on the Subject, but hi must have notieed that they saw and heard what We complain of. The delivery, by Mr. Brougham, as Co/Imbue, of„ , /he spirited Passage in which the future of &aeries wee shadowed. was Impressive and ishle.,? The littie„passago, already referred to, ' where. ?sr/4nd° describes Columbu4 dividing the dole of broad with his son, was well spoken by Mr. Stearns.' Ibo hating, all through, of Mr. Bradley; as Archbishop of Seville, also merits praise. Miss Emma Taylor was a Charming Columbia. The whole spectacle part was welt got up. - This evening '" Columbus" will be re lented. To make .it run smoothly, Mr. James Dunn will have to devote the whole day to hard atudy. of his part.- Ppar re MICETING.—The meeting called for last evening,•ot Indepondenee Sqoaro, for the 'pintioSe g , Sephring Protection to Rome Pioductions andllome Labor,'; but postponed on.accorint of the protracted, session of Con . grass willeertalnly be holdlqUa Svzonia.

Yesterday afternoon and evening witneeSed one of the most interesting events in the Sabbath sehooreatele`that have taken place in this city for many years. Pursaant to announcement, a large meeting of teachers, superintendents, and others interested in the cause, was held at Concert Ilell, 'at 4 o'clock P. AI., for the purpose of Boatel wor ship and exhortation, preparatory to the anniver sary exercises of the Philadelphia Sabbath School Associatton,whieh were held in that ball last even ing. The chair at both meetings was occupied by the President of the Association, Geo. H. Stuart, Esq. The exercises in the afternoon were com menced by singing the well-known hymn, com mencing-- All hail the power oryosnat name, Let angels prostrate tall." After Which a prayer was offered by a gentleman from Belvidere, N. J. -The chairman then read the 103 d psalm, begin• ning with the beautiful words of rapturous praise : mess the Lord, omy soul: all that is within me, bless his holy' name " At the close of which, the Rev. John Chambers, by special request, made a short but stirring ad dress to the congregation. Ire said ho had come there not to speak himself, but to listen to others, yet he was always willing to say what he could in _behalf of anything that had for its object the extension of his Master's Kingdom. Ile could wish, he said, that the spirit which had boon manifested at the great noonday prayermeeting, a few hours before, might be transferred to the present assembly, in which event, he believed, every one would be anxious to soya word for God. Indeed, the state of feeling evinced at that inept- Mg had been enough to cause the dumb to speak and,yet, what bad .there been enjoyed by Chris tians might be equally realised everywhere, if the same spirit of prayer was allowed to prevail. Re believed that everything depended upon, men doing their duty in the groat work which hail called them together, and that, if those engaged in it were but faithful, we should see greater results than bad yet been witnessed. It was only by training up children In the ‘f fear and admonition of the Lord" that society Could over be freed from the vice and immorality with which it was now cursed. The influence of godly mothers was incalculable, and daily we had such evidence as the following from the lips of young men : "It never can get rid of or away from the early impressions of my mother's godly example, and her gentle admonitions." And such also might be the testimony with reference to the Bab. battpaehool teachers. In- very many oases the little ones in their °lessee were fatherless and motherless, and under which circumstances it was the kind privilege of the teacher to supply a parent's itead in those ministrations of truth, which are to tell en marvellously upon thi oteraal.-0- 1. - .thoac-wrioreovrr.-crlern.: --- The remainder of the hour was devoted to singing and prayer ;; a few gentlemen present— Mr: Stuart am* others—having occupied the in. tervale with brief and interesting statements re specting the present condition of the several schools which they were there to represent. In the evening the lower floor of Concert Hall was tilled to its utmost capacity. The - exercises were commenced by singing, and a prayer by the Rev. Wm J. It. Taylor. An election of Olean for the ensuing year was then held, which result ed in the choice, by acclamation, of George 11. Stuart, Esq., for Presidentof the Association, and a board of fifteen managers from as many differ ent Christian denominations ; also, as Vice Pre sidents, Messrs. J. S. Cummings and Aaron 11. Burtis ; Corresponding Secretary, Isaac Sulger, and Recording Secretary, William Gett. A portion of Scripture was then read by Rev. Mr. Duffield, and the hymn sung, " Ara I a eolcller of the Cross, A follower of the Lomb?" &a.; After which an interesting statement of the doings and condition of the association was read by Mr. J. S. Cummings, from which we glean the follow ing statistics : Number of mission schools organized by the Philadelphia Sabbath School Association, as stated in last report, 32 ; number of rataatetS schools or ganized during the past year, 31 ; number of Sab bath schools in Philadelphia, exclusive of mission schools, 205 ; total number of schools is Philadel phia, 288 ; number of scholars in mission schools organized by this association, 2,000; number of scholars gathered into mission schools during the year, 1,475; number gathered into previously ex isting schools, 2,000 ; total number of scholars gathered into the Sabbath-school by this associa tion, sham its organization, 0,075 ; number of state less connected with previously existing sehools, 42,100; whole number of Sabbath-school scholars in Philadelphia, 48,175 ; number of teachers en gaged in mission schools at last report, 323 ; um:o ber engaged during the past year. 263; total en gaged in mission schools, 586; number in pro. Alsip existing schools, 4.505 ; whole number of teachers in Philadelphia at this time, 5,001. In addition to those statistics, it was said that another feature had marked the progress of the school within the past year of a very sheering cha racter. Tho number of conversions of pupils in the schools had been unprecedented; In the seventy four schools from which they had boon able to gather definite accounts, there had been 1,516 added to the communion of the different churches from the ranks of the Sabbath-school, making the inference more than probable that, at least, 4,500 had boon Aka to the church from this some within the year. After the reading of the report, the meeting was pronounced open for statements bearing upon the gabled which had brought them together; which invitation was, under thsi ilvo-minute rule, re sponded to with promptness by a large number in the course of the evening. Among the speakers of the evening, 'we re cognised Mr. Simmons, superintendent of the Green Dill School; Mr. Edwin Booth, of the First Reformed Dutch Church; Mr. Blierre'rd, of Bel rider°, N. J.; Mr. Dehaven, superintendent of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church ; Mr. B. D. Stewart, of the Coates street Presbyterian Church; Mr. A. H. Boras, of the Rev. Mr. Chambers' Church ; Mr. B. B. Willis, of the Fourth Baptist Church ; also, Rom Bomberger, of the Race-street Gorman Reformed Church, and Goo. Duffield, of the Coates•strect Church. In addid lion to these; there were_ several other speakers, whose" names wo did nut learn. Many of the statements thus elicited, bearing upon this important movement, were exceedingly interesting, and we have only to regret that the want of space forbids our referring to them at greater length. The two hours through which tho evening meeting 'was continued wore thus filled up with abort, pithy 4 5pecohos, interspersed oc• eastonally,with a verse of a hymn or a short prayer., At ten o'clock the meeting was dismissed, and the vast conooureo of Sabbath-school teachers of the two hundred sobools represented moved slowly away, having manifested a cheerful willingness to protract the services to a still later hour, if desired. The occasion, taken all in all, was ac knowledged by those present to have been such es had never been.witnoseed before in this city in behalf of the Sabbath-school cause. Thomas Wed.

THE PRESS.---PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1858. TUE SPRINGFIELD ANTI-DOUGLAS CON , VENTION. (Special Correspondence of The Preen.) /11., June 9, 1558. .P#Wagt itinertaitily a remarkable country. It extraordinary phenomena of the greatAt*Salielty : variety.

Your correspondent will endeavor to draw a true picture of this great discharge of negotWe political electricity, that to-day`ton Platte lit the eapitai of Illinois. ' L.-Having -pald9Ctlyini "v/eiCtetlecenington, " A . flourishing oily about sixty miles north of Spring field, 'at the intersection of the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis and Minis Central roads, ; concluded' to , take the Tuesday,(Bth) afternoon train' on the former road, in order to reach Springfibld in time to witness the manmuvros of the Lecompton forces from beginning to end. Upon the arrival of the train at the Bloomington - station; the eyes kr the crowd of lookers-on were gratified with a peculiar I sight. • Out of the hindmost oar rushed-a number of well-dressed individuals—the gentility of whose deportment, however, proved not to be in strict accordance with that of their habilimbnts—sub jecting the assemblage, with apparent eagerness, to a close scrutiny. They were the Chicago dele gation to the schitrmatie Convention, led by Charles Leib,Cook, Carpenter, Moyne, etc , and ihe object of their search was the discovery of their Bloom ington fellow-bolters, whom they yearned to look in their brotherly: embrace. But, alas f; the post masterial solo who represented the Bloomington delegation, being of a rather sober disposition, and not desirous of making a great eclat by e pub lic exhibition of his Lecompton sympathies, bad quietly glided into the front car, in order to escape the enthusiastic demonetration of the affeetions of his Chicago brethren. - The individuals engaged in the fruitlesephysiog-, nominal examination - presently strove to Niel the disagreeable, sensation of disappointment by I enacting a rather unique scene. They ooinmeneed chasing catch other up and down the platform, animating their pedal exertions by savage yells, indulging alternately in amicable .knoak-downs, flinging, at the same time, their hats; caps; And coats in all directions, and kicking, rolling, and fistieuffing about generally— .The Lecompton brates seemed to•be determined to impress the by standers with the idea that they wore about at tending a regular pow-wow. The style of their sating, at least, very nearly came up to the abo riginal prototype. Even mon of such physical amplitude as the notorious ,Leiti were Belied with the general vertigo, .and kept their iolumittne bodies revolving around with wonderful rapidity and Falstaff-like air. The resonybittnee to the im mortal " Jack ": wag rendered:morestriking yet, in the latter instance, by a tremendous rent in the inexpressible!" of the massive mail agent, which bore strong testimony to the violence of a personal renountor that was rumored to have happened previous to the rarrival at Bloomington, and exposed the beautifully-rounded proportions of the calf of the postal. leg. Some equestrian feats were also performed, the " ridden " as well as the " rider " being members of bi pedal humanity. This part of the performances was announced to be allegorioal—tho "horse" representing the Chicago. Democrat, John Went worth's (Long John's) paper, and the "horseman " the Chicago Tribune. The power that strengthened' the lungs,of the performers in so eminent a degree, and rendered their bodily agility So extraordinary, I,easily traced to the contents of the oar the party had appropriated to their solo use. Its interior had been converted into a Bacchus temple, the seats on one side having been removed, and • superseded by 'a temporary bar, on and beneathwhieh all the ma terials for ardent libations in honor of the jolly god—Bourbon, rye, wine, and champagne—figured in rehootable quantities. A pile of empty bottles furnished a clue as to the cause of the rough-and tumble exhibition. As soon as the train -wasagain in motion, the company retired into the moving bar-room to resume the annihilation of innumera ble juleps, cook-tails, and smashes. rho vocife rous protestations of their firm and disinterested belief in the righteousness of the Lecompton dogma kept apace with the consumption of the inspiring liquids, and were persisted in to the an noyance and disgust of the other passengers, till we had safely landed at Springfield. Nor were the gallant Lecomptonites inclined to let the evening pass without affording further il lustration of their valorous disposition. "Iwo of the foremost champions in their glorious cause were bound to convince all of theirintrepid phick. Francis J. Grund, special envoy to Illinois, sought and brought about a personal collision with Louis Ballade, one of the proprietors of the journallatie Lecompton bivalve, (National Union and Na ftali& Demokrat.) It was glorious to see Greek arrayed against Greek. It was gratifying to wit ness the vigor wit 'which Grund pulled the an tagonist's nose ! Tho cause of the trans was a leader in the National Demokrrat anlinadVarig, ---r although a resident of either Washington oiPhi %dolphin, had boon elected a delegate to the bo gus Convention. Schad° objected to this, Be was jealous of the adroit diplomat. Being ambi tious, and having a rather high opinion of hi's own significance, he didn't like the roll of a more "drummer," while Grand assumed the corporal's stick. Hence a grudge ; hence the twisting of the nose. It is to be regretted that the interference of the bystanders prevented the two worthies from pummelling each other to their hearts' eontent. This mutual inflation of blows had been fully deserved by these contemptible tinto•servere. Mankind would have hardly felt the loss if they had thrashed each other out of existenn The remaining part of the evening was spent in secret council by the managers, when the pm gramme of the next day's farce was agreed upon. Enough of the proceedings of this closet moan transpired to show the existence of two factional— one composed of more moderate mon, inclining to wards conciliatory measures; the other, headel by leaao Cook and other fire-eaters, being stub born advocates of persistenee in the bolting mon wont. The latter prevailed, es the Convention's actions on the following day proved. About 10 o'olook the next morning the , fitithfsr congregated in the Hall of Representatives au proceeded to organize themselves. John Douirk erty, who had made himself conspicuous from the very beginning, as one of the leading conspiratou, and had enjoyed the doubtful honor of chairtaly of the Lecompton fizzle on April last, was (+kohl presiding officer of this Convention, No. 4. Et opened the performance by delivering himself )r I a speech which breathed vile submission to powei and bitter hostility to honesty and consistencyta illustrated In the course of the Illinois Democra t delegation to Congress. Tho speaker having finished, the organization of the Convention we completed by a re-appointment of all the officerl and committees elected at .the fragmentary Apr meeting. On motion, six 'Members were added b each of tho latter. The committee thus cloned tuted comprised the very &nonce of official set:. vility and political egotism, which the Lecomptet centrovergy fortunately extracted from the real of the true Democracy of Illinois. 11 A dismission arose, in which Davidson, Cook, an? others participated, whether or not the Converf tion should inquire of whom It consisted, before indicating the polio , to be pursued. The motio:• to inquire was carried, and a call of the delegate from the several counties Was made.

WAIIIIIMIsOn, Jane 14, 1858 —The President bee transmitted documents to the Senate, containing the instructions of Secretary Case to our Minister to Mexi co, dated the 17th of July,lefiy, in which he says that the value and importance of a railroad across the Isthmue of Tehuantepec can ecarcely be over-estimated. The prospect of the construction of the read has now become brighter, because Mr. Falconnet. the Tehuan tepec Company, and the owners of the Garay Grant, have united their intnreste, and now seek to obtain from the Mexican Government exalt modification(' In the Sloe Grant as will secure the construction of the road. Such modificatione can be obtained, and it is confidently believed that sufficient capital, energy, and enterprise will be enlisted to accomplieh the object. Messrs. Benjamin and Lo vere will proceed to Mexico for that purpose. The chief drawback is the eontre vensy between Mr 11100 an; the present compady, who. however, have possession of the latitmos, and - have been prosecuting the work at con siderable expense. It ie hopes that the contro versy will be amicably fuljueted between the parties Mr. Forsyth is instructed, on the account or Messrs. Benjamin and La Sere, to make known to the Mexican Government their mission, and to give them such aid in its accomplishment as ho may deem adviaable and effectual.

"We cannot." Secretary Cam adde, agree that any distinction shall be made In favor of British subjects over American citizens. Whatever may be the conflict of claims, the people of the United Staten demand that a permanent right of way across the lathmue shall be placed on the same treaty foun dation."
