The memorial referred to is as follows: - "Your memorialists, citizens of—, county, of LI-An the State of —, respectfully represent to your honorable bodies the manufacture of iron, in which a very large proportion of the wealth of said county is invested, and upon which a large proportion of its laboring men are dependent for employment, so depressed a condition as to render,the capital unremnnerdtive, and has caused a large 'diminution in the demand for laborers. These evils are constantly b.:coining more distress ing. Your memorialists believe that relief can be afforded by the levying of a specific duty on the importations of foreign iron. They, therefore, res pectfully petition your honorable bodies that you will PO change the existing revenue laws as to *afford snob protection. And your memorialists, as in duty bound," da. Berton, the Comedian. Dr. Jouxsox declared that the death of G.taziew "eclipsed the gaiety of nations." We cannot go quite so far in our estimate of such a public loss as is caused by the demise of Mural! Evtss Ilvaron, who was undoubt edly the best low comedian of his time; and, not only this, but a sound scholar, a tho roughly-read Shaksperian, and a humorist of the most genial school. We announced his death on Satarday, and desire now to say a few words about him, in a farewell notice. Mr. BIJRTON, who had received his educa tion in that eminent seminary, St. Paul's Scheel, London, was brought up to the busi ness of a, printer, the calling of his father, who •is described as a scholar and author: On reference, however, to ALLIBONE'S Dic tionary of• English and American Authors, we do not find the name of the elder BURTON. 'Abciut the year 1826, W. E. BURTON lost his father, and continued to conduct the busineva for some time. His icicle' nature led hirii into the company of actors, and, when be was twenty-three years old, he became a member of an amateur Company which used to play at a pretty little theatre, in Catharine-street, Strand, which was lotated• equidiMant from the two great licensed theatres of Govent- Garden and Drury-Lane. Like nearly every comic actor whom we have known, Mr. Ben- TON'EI first essays were in tragedy, his first character of any importance, (and ho had to pay fifty dollars for permission to appear In it,) was Hamlet. This Was towards the 'close of 1827. Early in the following year, he played a few nights at Windsor Theatre, and is said to have had that cvrascalliest, sweetest young prince," George the Fourth and Fat, among his audience, on one occasion. This on dit, however, is apocryphal. In 1830 Buirrox gave up business, which he had kept up mainly upon his mother's ac count, and regurarly entered the profeemion as a member of the Norwich company. Here ho soon discovered that he should wear the sock rather than the buskin. He took the low-comedy lino, and was at once successful. With education and some money, he sreedily became theatrical manager, his circuit in cluding the leading cities and towns in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and 'Cambridge- At the latter place, the seat of an University, Renrox's scholarship brought him into the best society. At one time, in Cambridge, he managed the theatre, edited a weekly news paper, and wrote the greater portion of a peri odical which he established, called the Cam bridge Quarterly Review. In the fall of 1881 Beam appeared before a London audience, at the Pavilion Theatre, as Wormwood in iv The Lottery Ticket." He subsequently played at the Haymarket Thea tre, with success, during the temporary retire ment of Laren ; bat this great farceur, an noyed at the idea of being , played out of me mory by a mere ry boy" from the country, re turned to. the stage, and BURTON had to go back to his Norwich management. The New Ymk Herald Is entirely - wrong in saying that BearOx played in London in 18,88. - He quit ted England for America in 1834, and never revisited his native land—angel, he could not have played there. At the time of Brairox's performance in London a factitious low mime men, named, Jour; Ram, was extremely at tractive at the Adolph' Theatre. It happened, 'also, that, is the line of business which he -took in the country, Mr. Boarox had to, play Rune's principal parts; playing them, by the way, ranch bettor than Marys did. Early in 18;4, finding that Lima' and REEVV literally shut him out of all reasonable chance of leading cc Intsiness," in London, Mr. Berens determined to try his fortune in the United dates. His first appearance was at the Arch street Theatre, in this city, on September 3d, 1834, as Doctor 011apod, in vc The Poor Gen tieman,"—a character which, with Its usual inaccuracy In theatrical matters, the critic of the New York Herald calls iv Cornet °Raped." Ile established himself; at once, as a great comic performer, and obtained au engagement in this city, where he continued several years, writing largely for periodicals, establishing a magazine of his own (The Gentleman's, con ducted by Enoirt A. POE, for a time,) and even editing an Annual, in which he had the lion's share of the writing. Here may be related a curious circumstance. It is understood that some jealousy on the part ofJoux Rumex kept Rearm; out of an engage- Mont at the Adelphl Theatre, in 1832. It happened that Mum visited this country, In 1886, as a , vr star," and created so little sensa tion that he returned to England, In a pet, much sooner than he had originally intended. This want of success was caused by the fact that, in most of the large towns where REEVE ap pear,ed, BURTON had already played .REEVR's crack parts. The public, either not knowing, or not caring to remember, that these parts were written for Reeve, merely saw in him an Imitator of BURTON! In 1889, BURTON made his first appearance in New York, at the National Theatre, man aged by Mr. WALLAPIC. When this was burn ed down; BURTON returned to Philadelphia, where he converted Cooke's Circus into a thee ire, called the National. Ho succeeded, but lost most of his earnings, by the break-up of the United States Bank. Back again to New York, where be had a theatre, in Leonard street, not far from Broadway, which was burnt down. Ho returned to Arch-street Theatre, in this city, and had that, with theatres In Bal timore and Washington, at one time. Finally in 1848, he moved to New York, and opened what had been Palmo's Opera House, Cham bers street, as a theatre. Two months later, the old Park Theatre was burned down, which gave Benson a great chance. Ho con tinned at Chambers-street for eight years, with an excellent company, and removed in the fall of 1866, to the Metropolitan Theatre, Broad. way, now called the Winter Garden. But here his usual good fortune appeared to desert him, and, after a couple of seas ens, he was glad to surrender the property to Mr. LATARGE, who built it. In the BM of 1867, Mr. Bemis was lessee of the National Theatre, in this city, but it scarcely paid expenses. For the last two years, he had travelled a good deal as a "star." The Herald says "his last perform ances were at Toronto and Hamilton, Cana da. His last metropolitan performances wore at Niblo's Garden, where ho has played many splendid engagements. Athlslast appearance here in the fall of 1859, six hundred persons who had paid for admissions and could not ob tain places, received back their money from the box office." As an actor, Mr. Bearer; deserves to be re membered as a great artist. lie was tho roughly well educated, and was a great reader to the time of his last illness—a heart-disease. Ills facial power—what the French call mobi litd—waa greater than that of any other per former's whom we Over saw. Even larox was inferior to him in this. But Boarox's art was far beyond mere grimace. He could create a part. Ms 4minidab Sleek and his roodles were as much creations of his as of the men who wrote the plays in which they appear. Ilia repertoire was extensive, and ho never spared labor upon any thing he took in hand. One fault of his must not be emitted—a fault which low-comedians in general, who aro popular with audiences, have a tendency to run into. Ile had a habit of giving too much breadth—in het, of throwing unnecessary coarseness into some of his personations. .Re bad a thorough knowledge of Stuns- ryans, and produced many or the Shaksperian dramas with equal correctness, completeness, and success. We remember how admirably put upon the stage, even to the minutest point, were "The Tempest,"'" A Midsummer Night's' Dream," fg A. Winter's Tale," and t , Twelfth Night." In these, what great real, zations, almost creations, wore BURTON'S Caliban, Bottom, Sir Toby Belch, and .Bolo• lycua t rf- As a 3lanagei, Kr. BURTON was a very hard- Working man, very exacting of other people's labor, very liberal of his own. Generally his company stuck very closely to him all the time ho waslat Chambers Street. If his tem per was warm, his good nature was groat. Ho was a very kind-hearted man, and during the illness of a performer, however prolonged, made a point of sending up the salary every week. He held that nothing could Justify a manager in reducing salaries during occasional periods of small receipts. In addition to Mr. BURTON'S literary opera- tions, already mentioned, we have to record that he collected various of his fugitive pro ductions into a volume, "A Yankee Among the Mermaids," and that, in 1867-8, he edited, for the Arne:yowl, of New York, two octavo volumes, profusely illustrated with portraits on steel and characteristic wood-engravings, called the 4(Cyclopredia of Wit and Humor." This is an admirable collection, and the front ispiece to Volume I. is a portrait of Mr. Bog roN, taken about ten years ago, which Is an excellent likeness. Mr. &taros possessed an excellent library, including, we believe, the finest dramatic col lection belonging to any one person in the world. He had been for many years editing Shekspeare, and had nearly brought his labors to a close. He had a copy of every edition of Sbakspeare over published. Taking Boy- DELL'S folio as his basis, ho had illustrated his 3hakspeare with etchings, drawings, engrav ings, and autographs, at a cost certainly not of less than $30,000. Ho has loft three daughters, to whom his ci Cyclopmdia of Wit" is dedicated. By an earlier marriage, ho had a son,.now a celebra ted painter in England, of whose gbnius - be was justly proud. His own taste in the fine arts was very good, and his houses, in New York and at Glen Cove, were richly orna mented with good paintings—intellectual em bellishments which aro too much the excep tions among us. Mr. Enures's property, when completely settled up, will probably yield from $130,000 to $200,000. It is gratifying to find that though Mr. Boa rose had a good many paper wars in his time, for be was thin-skinned as regards criticism, every journal which has noticed his death has done it kindly. Public Amusements. TEN BADOARDE CONCERTIL—The last concert or Signor and Signora Baucardb took place at Mull eel Puna Hall on haturday night. It was a groat musical success, and would have been financially so but for the storm which commenced two or three hours before the doors were opened. We can re peat all the praise given by us to Signor and Signora Albertint Baneardis on a former occasion. They sang still better at this concert, and there is an earnest desire to hear them in opera, for which they aro admirably fitted. They will yet be recog nised here, as they aro in Europe. bignor Arda rani has en admirable baritone voice, and ho need it to the best advantage ins. solo, and in the ro sette from " Luoretia Borgia." Mr. Zdstcoaferri sang more to the satisfaction of the audience than at the first concert, when he was too energetic. Although he has a strong tenor voice, be should net Moot pieces that show power rather than taste. it is Bald that this troupe will soon appear In this city in operas u yet unfamiliar to the public. Ihould this be the case, wo shall have admirable, operatic entertainments from them. ACADEMY Or MIMIC BALL.--If the stockholders of our opera hones be true to their own interests, they will make the ball and promenade concert to morrow evening the most brilliant file we have yet had in this city. Every arrangement is complete, and if, as we expect, there bo as large an attendance as there ought to be, it will indeed be a brilliant SUMO& WALNUT-STREET THEATRE. -Mr. Jameg E. Mur doch commences a short engagement at this house to-night, and appears as Rover in the good old ooteedy of " Wild Oats." Mr. Murdoeh Is, un doubtedly, ono of the best light oomediane on the stage, and we hope will be warmly welcomed to his native city—first, betimes) he is a good actor, and secondly, because he Is "native and to the manner born." TOE Ancu.—The muoh-talked-of " Octoroon," by Boneicault, which has been ac, popular In Now York, (having been played simultaneously at four theatres in that city,) will be performed this even lug, for the ant time in Philadelphia. Mr. Wheatley has spared no expense to bring this piece before the public, in good style, with the at uessories of new scenery, costumes, Ae. The east of the piece embraces the entire strength of the company, the most prominent of the performers being Mrs. Drew, Miss Emma Taylor, and Messrs. Wheatley,- Dolman, Clarke, Gilbert, McCullough, Wallis, and Wood. The Met that the piece has been a subject of litigation, and discussion in the newspapers, will not tend to decrease the public curiosity to see it performed. DAN Rtca's GREAT Snow.—At this favorite re sort the audiences were so large, last week, that the management has determined to continue the spectacle of the " Magic Ring" for three nights more. It will therefore be presented this evening for the last time but two, in conjunction with novel and attractive acts of equestrian and gymnastic skill. The numerous admirers of Dan Rice, who has lately been absent from the city, will be gra tified to learn that he resumes his place In the oirolo. Acinnur or Mrszo.—On Thursday night, the Academy will open for a short English Opera sea son. The Cooper Opera troupe, who made so fa vorable an impression a few weeks ago, at Walnut street Theatre, will give the publio a °ham to judge of their abilities as singers, in a building better adapted for musical sonde. "La Sonnam• hula" will bo the opening piece, with Mies Annie Milner as Amu:a. The ?Heim of adnalselon, we aro pleased to see, aro moderate. CONCERT HALL. Mr. and Mrs. Drayton will continue with us for another week, with their charming parlor operas. There is a freshness about these performances that the public seems to appreciate, and if Mr. Drayton tzill lengthen his stay in Philadelphia for still another week, we can safely promise him not only a continuation, but an increase of pubis patronage. Tonight they will appear in " Love is Blind," and "Neer too late to Mead." MoDowoua a's GAIETIES .—The new pantomime o f the " Star of Beauty" hats been very successful at the Gaieties. After all, people like to laugh better than they do to weep, and Mr. McDonough has die. covered the secret. Hernandez makes an active Harlequin, Oalladine, as tho Clown, causes roars of laughter, while Min Price, as Columbine, dances with graoo and good taste. TLIIODON'S THEATRE OPARTB. This pleasing ex hibition grows in public favor. The mechanical effects are surprisingly well executed, and we know of no place of amusement butter calculated for the entertainment of the juveniles. There will be an afternoon performance on Wednesday. TEMPLE OF WONDERIL—BIits, the ever•popular magician and ventriloquist, continues to delight the crowds of young people who visit his room, north east corner of Tenth and Chestnut streets. We verily believe that Blitz will never grow old; he is • as lively and joyous as the merriest of the merry children who crowd Ma levees. DR. BOUNDER'S CLOSING Lacenna ow INDIA.— The last of the highly intending and instructive course of lectures which the Rev. henry Martyr' Scudder, D. D., has been for some time delivering "India," at Musical Fend hall, will be deli. mod in that edifice this evening. The interest awakened in the general history of India—a coun try with which the leoturor is doubtless as familiar as any other living man—by the lectures already given, has etesdlly increased with each successive ono of the coarse. As a lecturer Dr. Scudder Is unexoelled. he Is a man of singular ability, of boundless information, and possessing a gift of ora tory rarely equalled. All who have not hoard him should not fail to embrace this opportunity, as it will probably be the last that will oifor for neve. ral years. Tho lectures are being delivered under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Muck. tion, and for their benefit. his subject this even ing will be " Critical Periods In the history of the British Empire in India—Some Account of earlier Mutinies and Massacred—The late Great Rebel lion: its Nature and Occasion—The Atrocities : how far Exaggerated—hereto Deeds—Destiny of SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES —A eornspou. dent from Alabama writes no as follows : In all the controversy about the Territories, T have been at a lon to know what the Plavolitiaera of the South mean, or what they expect to gain by an eternal agitation. If we admit that a Territo rial Legislature has the right, under the Constitu tion of the United States, to pus laws unfriendly to slavery, I cannot sea why the slavery party has not as fair a chance as the free• State party, even at that. If the (slavery party is the strongest in the Territories cannot they elect their own party mem bore to the Legislature, and prevent in that way un friendly legislation to the negro or slave? I be lieve that all parties agree, that, in the formation of a State Constitution, it Is the right of a majority of the people of a Territory to decide whether they will or will not have slavery among them. If the slavery party has not a majority in the Territorial Legislature, they will not have a majority when they come to vote on their Constitution. I think that one party has as fair a charm as the other. lam a Union man, and I much regret to see the course pursued by some of the Southern people. It mush reminds me of readirig lu the Bible about the fall of Ahab. Ahab was seduced by false prophets. So are some of the Southern people, When I hear men say that good will grow out of a dissolution of the Union, I am amazed at their wicked folly. THE PRESS.PHILADELPMA g MONDAY, FI3SIIUARY 13, 1860. WASHINGTON COR=3PONDENCI Letter *evil Clocissional." Correspondence of The Frau.] WASHINGTON, February 12, 1860. Whorl the Rouse adjourned on Saturday the Post °Moe appropriation bill was left unfinished and undoolded. This Measure, so highly import ant to pubito creditors, who have long been welt ing to be relieved, has boon delayed by the course of the Senate in affixing an amendment abolishing the franking privilege. That this franking privi lege should be radically modified, or almost en- tirely d9n2 away with, no one doubts, but so great a reform ought to be,treated upon its own merits, and not used to keep back an act of justice to a large and suffering clue of cititens. Let it come before Congress and the country in a separate bill, and I have no doubt all that has been honestly de sired by those who voted for it at apart of the Pcst Office appropriation bill will be gratified. The object is merely political. Whatever substitute for the franking privilege may be invented, the door will be left openno many abuses. All the care and attention of the General Pest Office, and of all those who have considered the subject, will he necessary in providing another plan, and it will take long years beforo such a plan can bo per fected. Quite a number of Southern polltiolana aro de daring in favor of Judge Douglas lbr the Charles ton nomination; but the President, and the ex treme secessionists, who claim to control the South, deny that he has the alighteit chance. A good deal of interest is beginning to be manifested in regard to the action of the Democratic State Con vention, which is to be held at Reading, Pennsyl• vania, on the 29th of February. The President has taken eve precaution to secure delegates friendly to Week, or to some one whom he prefers to Dunghill; but to tho last few days Mr. Buchanan seems to have seriously Indulged the Idea of boiog a candidate for a renomination : and many of those who aro supposed to speak for him 16 not hesitate to declare that he can be elected. The contest in Virginia, between Wise anti Bunter, is oondueted with much spirit. It will appear, however, that the former has the best chance. In Maryland, the name of Jame, Alfred Pearce, at present a Senator in Congreas, from that State, is spoken of in high term. as a tompromise candidate. Prom Delaware, Senator James A. Bayard will be presented. He oertatnly possesses a high order of intellect, and has attained a very prominent position in the councils of the nation, as a lawyer and a statesman. Mame. Cohb and Stephens, of Georgia, ate also urged by their re spective friends, and Hon. Andrew Johnson, Sena. tor In Congress from Tennessee, who carried the delegates at the last convention of the Democracy of that State, and who is, unquestionably, a politi. Ulan of great nerve and experience. lie is looked upon as exceedingly popular, alike on account Of his conservative opinions on the slavery question, as because he Is ono of the most reliable of the self made men of the day. It appears now as if the struggle for the nomination would be between Douglas and Brookinrldge. The friends of the lat ter insist that he is the choice of the party leaders in Pennsylvania, and declare that if he shall carry the delegates from that State, on the 20th of Feb ruary, it will go far to make him a necessity at the coming election.

OCCd§loscet. -•-- Letter from 4 ‘Ezelc Richards.!' Nonespondenoo of The Press.l Last evening, after the adjournment of the House, Hon. Henry A. Edmundson, of Vitginia, attempted to draw lion. John Hickman; of Penn• sylvanite, into a personal rencontre. The matter has been kept very close by all the parties con earned ; but I learn that the gentleman from the twelfth Virginia district has been nureleg his wrath ever since Mr. Hickman made his famous speech stating that the eighteen millions of the North would not permit the South to dissolve the Union. As the Vieo President, accompanied by lion. Meson. Clingtuan, Heitt, and .lliirousdson, was passing from the Capitol, through the gjounds towards the avenue, Mr. Hickman was peneived ahead of them. Disengaging himself from his associates, Mr. Edmundsen went forward, passed Mr. Hickman, turned, and facing him, gave expression to some heated ,re marks touching the °enrage of the Ruth, after making allusion to one of Mr. Hick man's recent serenade speeches, in honor ipt the anti-Administration triumph. After a few Words had passed between the parties, Mr. Edesnedeon, I learn, attempted to strike hir. Hickman With a twig he picked up fur the purpose. Mr. Mamma strove to clinch with the Virginian, when the Vice President and the tethers, teeing thlk " impfieding oriels," hastened forward. Afrllingman, followed by his friends, promptly interfered. The affair bee made considerable talk this morning in the lobby, and almost the first that some of the mast alert newspaper men knew of the matter was oen veyed by the queries of outsiders. The name of Mr. Cllngusan calls I. mind a mat ter in which the dear public must be too much in terested to leave omitted from the personal and po litical gossip of the day. Some time ago, a 'maple of weeks or so, after Mr. Roger Pryor's &tweet ation of the New York Herald, that paper pub lished a letter ostensibly from a " Southern Sena tor," disclaiming, on the part of the South, In pee rs!, any sympathy with Mr. Pryor's bitter levee tive, and containing, moreover, some daintily fringed phrases complimentary to Mr. Bennett's family. Pretending to epeak for the South this naturally enough excited inquiry on the part of Pryor and his friends. Senator Clingman wrote to Mr. Pryor admitting that he had written a letter—a private letter—to some one connected with the Herald, but that it was a breach of honor to have published it, and, besides, that the letter as published contained im portant interpolation's, which changed its ahem tor from what he had written. The Herald pub lished Senator Clingman's speeds in full, and tcok a liberty with the letter by way of exchange. The original letter, however, was demanded ; Is, I learn, In this city now, and is another evidence of the unscrupulous vindictiveness of the editor of the /braid. I t is interlarded in some very important particulars. It is but a slight compliment, I think, to Senator Clingman, to imagine that his vanity in seeing his speech in full in the Herald would prove stronger than his cease of the disgrace of being the suspected author of a letter in compli ment to the editor of that paper. The Post Office bill was reported to the House to-day from the Committee of Ways and Meerut; and a considerable discussion took place on two of the amendments added by the Senate. The OM matte's disagreed with the fifth and sixth amend ments, the former touching the printing of Post Office blanks, and the latter, abolishing the frank ing privilege. Mr. Sherman, chairman, said the whole committee were funned to all the amend manta, but thought it wrong to add on those to which objections were now made to au appropria tion bill. An appropriation bill was menial to make provision for carrying on the Government, and not to bo the means of legislation. The mete sures proposed ought to be made distinct and sepa rate subjects of consideration. Mr. Millson, of Virginia, while thinking that the House might take lessons in wisdom from the Senate, was opposed to the upper House on the franking abolition question. He was not for abol , 'shin that will.* was intended for the spread of knowledge, in order to rear the government fabric, on a popular basis. Franking was the privilege of the people, and the duty of the Congressman. It was the people 'who benefited by it, end he was opposed to its abolition. It was the only way by which actual and official information— could reach them. Stanton, of Ohio, wan in favor of its abolition, believing the franking privilege to bo a powerful incentive to corruption in many ways, Ile in stanced, especially, the Congressional printing. Gentlemen would not be 80 ready to vote for enor mous quantities of printing if they had to pay the express companies for despatching over the coun try. Numbers of book' wore printed—good and valuable books he admitted—which Congress had no need to publish. Other publishers could be found for them, and they would pay; but gentle men voted to print them because they could frank them to their friends. While opposed to the frank ing privilege, he was in favor of dealing with it separately from the Post OMeo deGotency bill. Mr. Pocock, who is a oloar and eantentious speaker, replied both to the gentleman from Ohio and Ina colleague, Mr Millson. lie wan In favor of the amendments, but desired immediate action on them. Mr. Stanton admitted that the country was looking with the greatest anxiety to the pas sage of the bill before them. now was the country to be appeased? Wan it by differing with the Se nate, having a conference, and a delay of days and weeks? ?dr. Pocock thought not. lie was for prompt action now. taMr. W. it. W. Cobb, of Alabama, made a speech also against the franking privilege, and made, I thought, a capital suggestion when he said that tho documents sent over the country were full of non sense, and that If they meant to do good and be useful, why not print the spelling book and read era, and frank them to their constituents? .4r. Grow was in the chair while the House was in Committee of the Whole, and I moat say he makes a capital officer. There was no mittekieg who had, or who had not, the right to the floor. Bea. Perley Poore, of Illtussaohmette, is, or is to be, clerk of the Homo Committee on Foreign Re lations. This appointment, coming from co dis tinguished a chairman as Mr. Corwin, is a com pliment.

Being faithful In the discharge of this duty, be was compelled to report several, who, In consequenne, were reprimanded or din charged. These persons, being prompted by re venge, are now supposed to have hired some mis creants to make away with him. A couple of arrest, of suspicious characters were Nude by the pollee yesterday, but Coroner Jackman, before whom the inquest will take place to-morrow morn• irg et 10 o'clock, did not think there was sufficient evidence to warrant their detention, and they were accordingly discharged."'
