SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1864. Actors and Actresses.* The public at large take more than ordi nary interest in the lives of actors and ac tresses. Those who wear the sock and buskin Make unto themselves friends oat of the audiences whose favor makes them famous, by acknowledging their talent. An old-playgoer speaks of the performers he, has seen and applauded, as if he knew them well and was the personal friend of each. Performers of note have partisan's, by hundreds, who seldom saw and never spoke with them off the stage. At one time, in London, there was the Siddons fever and the Kean fever, as it was cal* as some sixty years earlier there had been the Garrick fever and the Barry feVer. That was a memorable contest, on one occasion, when. Sprenger Barry, one of the handsomest men of the time—tall, well made, and graceful to boot—played Romeo, at Covent Garden, against David Garrick,. under the middle size, who was autocrat Drury Lane Theatre. The contest con tinued for twelve nights, by which lithe the public bad quite enough of the lbvers of Verona, for one- spell. The country folks, visiting London, complained bitterly that one play should keep the stage, for a fortnight, at the two patent and principal theatres, and hence some wit wrote this epigram : " Well, what's to•nightl" says angry Ned, As up from bed he rouses; 'Romeo again!' be shakes his head ; A plague on both your hones " Fair Miss Bellamy played Juliet to Gar rick, and Mrs. Cibber played the. same character with Barry. Dr. Doran says " There is no doubt that Mrs. Cibber had the handsomer, more .silver-tongued, and tender lover. She seemed to listen to him in a sort of modest ecsta# ;' while Miss Bellamy, eager love inher eyes, rapture in her heart, and amorous impatience in every expression, was ready to fling herself into Romeo's arm's. In Barry's Romeo the critics _laud his harmony of feature, his melting eyes, and his unequalled plaintive ness of voice." As for the rival Juliets, it is said that Bellamy Was more tender and natural, while Cibber was_ grander and more tragic. But the contest was between the two Romeos. A lady, who did not pretend to be a critic, but had common ' sense, and was guided by her feelings, seems to have ably distinguished between them. " Had I been a Juliet," she said, "to Garrick's Romeo, so ardent and im passioned was he, I should have expected that he would have come 24p to me in the balcony ; but had I been Juliet to Barry's Romeo, so tender, so eloquent, and so se ductive was he, I should. certainly have gone down to him." The antiquity of the drama is very great. The dialogue of the Book of. Job itself has a dramatic character. • Spoken tragedy dates from the-age of Thespis and . Pisistr atus, five centuries before the Christian era. Some of the finest portions of Greek litera ture are the dramas which remain, immor talizing, the names of Aristophaties, .lEschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. The dramatic art was neither thought highly of nor cultivated.with much success in Rome. Roscitis and 2Esopus, respectively excelling in comedy and tragedy, enjoyed the friend ship of Cicero and his familiar associates, and were scholars and gentlemen ; but Lstberius, the Roman Knight Who appeared on the stage at the request of Cmsar, for feited his equestrian rank and privileges - ny - notur; ou, noron-o-tigtrthesa_vmra_r_sa— stored to him, did he ever recoveh the respect of his fellow-citizens. Moralities, or plays founded on Sacred historytaor intended to have a moral effect on the popular mind, were common in England from the Norman to the Tudor period. The first English prince who had a dramatic company of his own was Richard 111. (whom so many actors have since so cruelly " murdered" on the stage I) , but not having much time to attend to them, he used to permit them to stroll through the land, from shire to shire, now playing in the castle of the noble, next in the man sion of the country gentleman, then in the hall of the franklin or the yeiSman, some times in the market-room of a corporation, often in the enclosed yard, with its sur rounding gallery, of a large hostelrie. King Richard's sanction led to the tolera tion of the actors, and acting became fashionable in schools, in noblemen's fami lies, among the law-students and lawyers of the Inns of Court, sometimes with kings and queens among the itudience. Not un frequently the playwrights", were clergy men, acting as well as writing. Nicholas Udall, master of Eton school, and author of "Ralph Roister Doister," (the first regu larly-constfucted English' comedy written in 1540), was a grave "clerk." It long has been believed that players were declared " rogues and vagabonds" by an English act of Parliament. In the reigns of Mary L and of Edward VI. the drama was discountenanced by "the au. thorities," because the actors had incurred the suspicion of not being orthodox—the trouble being that what Catholic Mary held as orthodox was accounted heterodox by Protestant Edward, her successor. In Mary's reign, no doubt, a decree of sovereign and council prohibited all play ers and pipers from strolling through Eng hind—such strollers being suspected of dis seminating seditious and heresies. In Elizabeth's reign the drama.was in favor, though a sharp censorship was, held over audience as well as actors. But the actor and his craft were legally recognized by a royal license in 1512, when the players connected with noble houses were allowed to act where they pleased, if their masters permitted them. This did not declare players to be "rogues and vagabonds." It threatened to treat as such, all acting companies who should set up their stage without the license of " two justices of the peace" at least. _"This," Dr. Doran says, "was rather to protect the art than to insult the artists." Four years later, when Eliza beth granted a royal patent to certain actors maintained by the Earl of-Leices ter, it gave them full power to produce such plays as seemed good to them, "as :well," the Queen said, " for the rectea tion of our loving subjects as for our solace and pleasure." Elizabeth personally patronized Shak speare. There is a tradition that he wrote " The Merry Wives of Windsor" to gratify her desire to see Falstaff in love, and an old stage story is that, on one occasion, when he was playing the part of King, while Elizabeth, after the fashion of the time, occupied a seat of honor on the side of the stage, she purposely dropped her glove, to see whether she would thereby embarrass " the divine Williams," (as Monsieur Ponsard calls him,) but the actor author, finishing a sentence, interpolated " And though now bent of this high einbaesage, Yet stoop we to take up our oousln's glove," suiting the action to the word, at the mo ment. There was presence of mind, if not wit, in thiS, which we hope may be true. James the First—" the wisest fool in Christendom," whose character is so well drawn by Scott in The Fortunes of Nigel—was so fond of theatrical revels that, much to the horror of the Puritans, he had them, at large cost, in the royal • 1 .

Eis wife, Anne of Denmark, whose chief fault was an over-fondness for "strong waters," was sometime at once manager of and actress in the masques performed at Court—onsrepresentation.-sometimes cost ing a thousand pounds, which would be equal to $25,000 (in gold) at this day. Charles 1:. followed his father's example, and favored the players—his fondness for Ehakspeare's dramas was seriously alleged against him by the Puritans, Queen Henri etta Maria was a French woman, and, un der her own supervision, her. ¶' dermoisates" brought out a French pastoral, in which her Majesty played a part. " During the Civil War, and throughont all the time of the - t fr Odunonweitith, the drama was at a discount in: England -the able-bodied actors taking 'part, as might be expected, withiheir patron, Kin* Charles. One of them, named , Mohun, rose : to the rank of Major, and, after the Restoration, re turitt*,to, the . stage, where he used to be Set down, in " the cast," by his military title.

About this ante young Betterton, whose father bad been cook to Charles 1., went on the stage';, and his acting was witnessed by Shakgpeare's younger brother, who sur vive& until shortly after the Restoratien. Truly does Dr. .Doran say that Betterton was 4- for fifty-one years the, pride of the BritiSb stage," He performed, in that time,, one hundred and thirty new characters, sometimes eight in one season.' He was the first Jailier, Vitginius, and Sir John Brute. He had an almost royal funeral in West minster Abbey. It will astonish some "stars" and eacting stock actors to learn that the highest salary ever received by this greateet of all English players was $25 a week, which included a pension of $5 to, his wife after her retirement in 1694. Of the Drury Lane company, ten actors were enrolled, in the king's household, afte?l * he Restbration, sworn is before the Lord Chamberlain to serve the King faith fully, and provided with uniforms or live ries of scarlet and gold. In. these warrants of appointment they are styled " Gentle men of the Great Chamber," (which dis: proves the assertion that the profession was held in light account,) and we have perso nal recollection of the time, not more than thirty'years back, when the bills of the patent theatres of Drury Lane and Covent Garden commenced with .the announce ment! "His Majesty's servants will per form," &c. 1 It may be hard to believe, but, until the year 1661, the female parts in the English drama were always played by lads. Fancy Juliet-and Desdemona, Viola, and OpAelia, lattheWe and .Beatries----represented by great, hulking boys, who sometimes, grow ing upto manhood in these parts, finally had to be shaved before they could appear in them"! 'ln 1661, when Rhodes formed .his 'company, in the Duke'rt Theatre, (at Lincoln's lnn Fields,) it included six lads employed to represent female characters. Killegrew, of Drury Lane Theatre, the ri val of ,Rhodes--some of whose "boys" were men of forty—first cast a woman into a we PRIOS part, on the English stage ; the part was that of Desdemon.a, bid the „lady's name is unknown. Seydral. montca later, other managers browlik, for ward real actresses. Court and the tieing - itdiearakontrgtow-- . acittally brohgb.Ta•comedy in which every part was played by women. Some of the " boys" who used to appear in petticoats, , took-to playing men's parts, and succeeded. Hart is said to have played Othello as' well as Betterton, who created the part of Alexan der ; and Catiline, in Ben Jonson's play '(a character to which Forrest could do full justice), died with him. Burt, who played Cicero with rare ability, in " Catiline," was another of the "boys," and Pepys re cords the success of Rynaston in female as well as male characters—it was said that in Shakspeare's kings he was never equalled for natural dignity. John Downes records (in his " Roscius Arglicanus, or An Histo- rical Review of the Stage," published in 1708) that "it has since been disputable among the judicious, whether any woman that Succeeded him so sensibly touched the audience as he." This stage gossip has been suggested by, and partly taken from, one of the pleasant est books about the profession we ever read. Dr. Doran, who has written theie Annals of the English Stage from Thomas Better ton to Edmund Kean, is an author whose books have obtained great circulation iri England and this country. All that we know of him is that he writes a good - deal of sound, readable criticism in the Ache "llall,97ll which is about the heaviest literary periodical in the world. Dr. Doran (as his namidenotes) comes of an Irish family, and was born in London in 1807. We learn from Dr. Allibone's reliable Dictionary of English Literature, that at the age of 15 young Doran wrote a melodrama which was first played at the Surrey Theatre in 1822 ; that after various other works he produced f the series by which he is' best known, including " Table Traits and Some thing on Them," "Habits and Men," " Knights and their- Days," " Monarchs who have retired from Business," &c., all of which have been republishd by Mr. Weddleton, New York, whose new and uniform edition of them-is now ready. In his "Annals of the Stage" •Dr. Doran shows himself master of a difficult and interesting subject, which he treats with tact and ability. The American publisher has brought out these two volumes in a ,very superior style, and there is an index to each volume. For the benefit of book-collectors, a large paper copy (size 11 inches by 8) has been pro duced. Only 150 copies are printed, and (when we state that-in this edition de /u 36 are introduced photographic portraits of Nell Gwyn, Betterton, Garrick, Mrs. Sid . done', Miss Farren, John Kemble, Mrs. Jor dan, and the Kean,) it cannot be called dear, as books sell now. There are few books in the language so capable of being illustrated with portraits, views, and' auto graphs, and the size of the large paper edi tion will enable this to be done without making full-sized portraits marginless. The work is not onlycrowded, but crammed with theatrical anecdotes. We would se riously recommend some man of letters who has taste, time, and sufficient personal re collection of our great perfortners, to set about writing a couple of companion volumes to Dr. Doran's "Annals." There is a great deal of material in William Dun lap's " American Stage," and our periodi cals and our light literature are crowded with reminiscences of actors and acting which could be rendered very available.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 26.—The case of Mrs. Sarah Hutchins, who has been convicted by the military commission of sending arms to Harry Gilmor, and sentenced to dye years' Imprisonment, attracts much attention here, and strong efforts are being made to procure a mitigation of her punishinent. Many of the snort earnest portion of the loyal oltizens of Bal timore earnestly protest against any such leniency, considering that the social position of the lady should not shield her from the full responsibility, and that her offence, in extending ald and encourage. ment to such a public enemy, freebooter, and high wayman as Gilmor, was an act not only against the nation, but the State of IffarylandLa high crime, meriting the most rigorous ,punishment—such as will deter many others of her sex in this ally and State trom like offences.' ,EitgiVlLL OF WILMA BED rnisoms Papal.

RESULT OF THE LATE CRIMINAL TRIAL IN SWITZERLAND. More about the Breat4 of Neutrality in Brazil. The London Times Of tlO h reports the dinner given to M. lierryer ' the' great Frenoh lawyer (vialting Lord Brougham), 10 the English bar. At th e F renc h bar, it is known, :LvietTyer has but one rival, and that h! warn] parser:la friend and junior, the great .Jtiles Favre. In an editorial the Times says: DLL Berryer °omega's:tong' the barriaters of-Eng land, not only as the head of the Feenett advocates or to-day, but also as a represeotativeof the famous lawyers of the old • sigime. He has' ar hereditary claim to the fronttrank of French jurietin Is is at moat a proverb among ourselves that the sons Of great lawyers are never stamessftdl, but M. Berryerls a proof that the rule dam not holdsonmss the channel. Hie father was a must eminent ed. vocate, and would be .better known were , not he's fame overshadowed by the greater fame or Ids- die thiguished Son. But - the son remote:were that' he. won his first Spurs by the side of hle father r and throughout his career we discover the influence' of paternal example; Along with politiCal predllee dons which have contributed more than auytbing else to determfne the form of his after history, IC Berryer inherited from his father a certain dignity and grace which lathe advocate trained before the Revolution, the associate and friend of :11aleseerbeS, was probably 'habitual bat which we rarely meet with in the , rougher society of modern France. The eider Berryer was one of those liberal RoyalLsts• who sought to mould the French Monarchy alter the fook.Sola-of-wiscr - Illaulioix-Ocrsm.2. - trovaroo - A - vairsura--.. principles 01 1789 while patmerviugthe authority of the throne and the conservative influence of an aristocracy ; and the son has.been faithful in his Pursuit of the Settle ends. But neither father nor son ever suffered political feeling to interfere with the duty of an advocate. ed Berryer was barely five-and-twenty when he was associated with his father and 911. Dupla. In the defenee of Ney, and from that time downwards we find9ils learning, his acuteness, and his eloquence engaged on behalf of persons of all shades of opinion. The Legitimist Who accompanied Louis. . VIII. to Ghent, and returned to Faris to be the advocate of Ney, -elhon accused of treason to the Sing, has de. fended Republicans, Imperialists, Legitimists, and Oileanists, as each in turn has Wen tne object of prosecution. In the prosecutions of the press, which all Governments of France agree In think ing necessary for their safety, M. Berryer has almost invariably been- the eloquent advocate of the free expresalor of opinion. In 1840, after the affair at Boulogne, he watt selected by the present Emperor to conduct his defence. Throughout the State trials of France for forty years—and no coun try has been more prolific of such trials—the accused seem to have always turned to M. Berryer, in the. belief that nothing but his ability and eloquence could possibly save them from the vindictiveness of the' prosecution. Nor has M. Berryer's practice been confined „to trials of this nature. Hie father earned his first fame in the conduct of mercantile , cases, and the acumen which AI. Berryer has so often displayed in the tribune In theanalysis of a Budget or the exposure of the evils of a tar has been in part, no doubt, the result of his experience of own. merelatilltigation. At the dinner to Berryer four hundred guests, the best lawyers of England, sat down, and the Atter neY.General took the chair. Accompanying Berryer Was Lesmarest, the battonier, or leader of the French. bar. Brougham, Kingsdowis, Chief Justice Cock burn, Gladstone, Bruce, Martin, Pigott, Bramwell, Blaolthern, Whiteside, Cairns, Ballantyne, Wal pole, Kelly, and other eminent barristers of London, lords and barons of justice, and sergeants of the law, were among the guests. The Attorney Gene ral, in proposing the health of Berryer, said:. • " In no country in the world has there been a bar which has deserved greater honor than the bar of France [cheers], and I shall carry your assent with me in saying that at no period of the brilliant his. tory of that great natio)", distinguished as it has been by great names, has there been at_the head of that bar a more honest, more virtuous, more elo. quent ft and more able man than M. Berryer. [Loud cheers.] At a time when most of those I see around me were beginning their legal studies, this great. man commenced a great publiccareer, which to this day he continues to fulfil. By the aide of his father 'scarcely less distinguished than himself—he acted as the'advocate of Marshal Nay. In the se cendanoy of those principles of which he has ever been .the faithful advocate ;; at -a time when there was a disposition to make an exorbitant and exaes sive use of the success of those principles, he stood forward not only on that unfortunate occasion, but also in defence of other distinguished men involved in a like misfortune ; and I believe it is known to all of you that M. Berryer, then begitusing tilagreat career, ever raised his voice when his politlpai prin ciples were triumphant in favor of moderation and justice to those whose fortunes were in decline. [Uheers.] We have nothing to do with the political vicissitudes of hie great country, except to admire the consistency ant nobility of the man who bore him self so well under all of them. [Rear, hear.] When his political principles were no longer . In the ascen dancy he did not retire calmly from the service of his country. His voice was still raised freely, and yet without the possibility of an Imputation that he favored disorder. When called upon at the bar he was always found the dauntless , and fearless advo cate of every unfortunate man who needed his Ser vices. [Cheers.] it is almost a volume of History to tell how this distinguished man was the advocate of Lamennais, Chateaubrland, the preSent Emperor• of the French [gear, hew], a,nd many others whom -it would-.be-tedious to. merithin. „Whatever their liprnioris - wore, when they needed a free word to be spoken for themselves, they went to M. Berryer. When the wheel turned round we find him still not refusing his services to his country in any way—still lifting up his voice as the advocate of freedom of speech, as in the great trial of IVlontalembert ; and we find him still preserving not only the dignity of his position, but the power, and influence, and the brilliancy or his earlier days. [Hear, hear."] We translate for the readers of The Press the Bab joined speeches of Messrs. Berryer and Desmarest BYIOIOII . OF M. BBBBM Believe me, when I tell you that I am deeply grateful for this imposing and almost brotherly re ception. [Cheers.] I find myself honored, in the very midst of England, great and free, and you will not be astonished, therefore, at whateverembarrass meat I may exhibit in returning you my thanks. Yesterday the Attorney General congratulated you, and I congratulated the great and noble country for having seen an Attorney General (a rare and curi ous sight), with a zeal as pure as wine, seconding such associations as have for their object the perfec tion of codes of law. [Cheers.] To-day, as a lawyer, I feel proud to hear you ‘ speak as the chief at the bar, In name of all the lawyers. Great and beautiful spectacle, it recalls to me the time when it was the custom, in my own Country, for the Fro cureur Generals and the Advocate Generale to call themselves the Generals of the members of the bar. In speaking to me in the name of the English bar, you have deemed me worthy of compliment for the labors of my life. I assure you that I feel humilia ted by such compliments, when I. remember what members of the English bar once honored me with their friendship. Where was Lord Lyndhurst, for whom ye all mourn—[cheere]—and that other great man, who has endeavored to point out to me all the great things of this country ; that noble propagator of all the progress of all the liberal institutions in this free England ; that great man whom I salute—Lord Brougham. [Loud cheers.]. After filly years.of labor, I received from my confreres of France an earnest of their fraternal sympathy. But there I was in the midst of my own, I was sustained by fifty years of friendly relation. utfor once I am away from my own, and am near to yon—you who well know what I [eel. So here let me say what I feel at this moment. It appears to me as if I beard the voice of posterity falling from your lips. [Cheers.] It is a thought more fruitful of the future than any homage paid to a single man, for it tells me of an alliance between the bars of the two moat civilized nations of the world. I have been present at all the courts of justice of your country, at all their judicial deliberations, and I have been amok at the high position occupied by the members of your bar. Nothing could touch me more than the familiar relations subsisting betieen the judge and the counsel. This is a striking proof of the attention whlcli Is accorded him. In it I see a guarantee of the continued independence of the noble profession. I have the most ardent wish that the alliance between the two bars should be closely cemented. We cannot have in France those reunions which the laws of this country authorize, but we can communicate with one another, and from this communication has been born, I hope, a union of intelligences. The French bar has not, like the English, furnished men to all the positions of political life. In our revolutions men who respected themselves could not be pre vailed upon to accept place. [Chime.] -The bar has ever keen an asylum to those who, confirmed in their convictions, have had no wish to depart from them. We can count among them our most emi nent men. [Cheers.) We have free trade, but it must not be diverted to the exchange of silks and cottons. What we want is a free trade, a free in terchange of Ideas. [Clime.] You can find among us many geed things to desire and adopt. We meet here among you learned and enlightened writers, and a powerful press, such as we have never known. [Cheers.] I move an alliance of the two bars, and I ask my colleague to second the motion. • 6F88031 OF N. DESMAILEST. I feel moved as I rise to reply to each a kind and affectionate toast to the French bar. The union of the two bare has been the dream of my life. When we consider earthly things (even after such a Sidon did banquet) it is impossible to deny that there are in the world two Influences—might and justice. [Cheers.] Ido not want to speak ill of might ;as to justice, it is becoming to speak well of It here, in the presence of your present and of your ancient glory ; allow me to add, in the presence of those two standard.bearers of , right and juStice, Lord Brough am and lii. Berryer. [Loud cheers.] There is a great Similarity in their characters. Both have carried intellectual glory to a high point; both have shone in 'public assemblies; both, finally, are members of the French Academy. [Cheers.] I con fess that I should be embarrassed if I bad but the tribute of my own recognition to give. But as Boon as I vjde informed of your gracious invitation I took advantage of those legal meeting& authorized in France to tell our lawyers of the honor which had been done me. All, young and old, replied to me, "Go to England." I had no time to consult the members of our provincial bar, but all would have held the same language—all. I see in the great figure of the legal body of France giving its hand to the legal fraternity of England, the preliminary step leading to a more intimate alliance between us, according o to the beautiful idea of film who should be our perpetual leader, and who is always our moral leader. Gentlemen, allow me to say, my dear brethren—[cheers]--yOu have given us the ex empla, you may be certain that it will be followed. One of your statesmen—the illustrious Chanoellor of the Exchequer—said on a recent occasion, with that incomparable eloquence whichrecalls the great :days of antiquity, that in the times in which we live the progress of civilisation should be aecemplishrd by milder means than in times gone by.

The Times arguer with what appears consider able advantage against the breach of neutrality committed in the Brazilian port of Bahia, and thinks that the Florida was illegally imbed in or- der to Obtain the $lOO,OOO reward offered for its cap ture by the New York Chamber of Commerce. With this view the great body of merohatita at Bahia have sent it a remonstrance.

THE BRIBE, roneNTIM CABE. We have already given the story of this remark able case as presented at the inception of criminal proceedings: The sequel is told in an editorial of the Timer ' which descants upon the strangeness of the Swiss form of oath. Two incidents In the memorable trial at Berne, which ended in the acquittal of Madame Trumpy and Dr. Demme throw a curious light on the peculfaritlee of Swiss criminal procedure. The prisoners, as our readers will remember, being re spectively the widow and the physician o h the de ceaeed, M. Trumpy, were of conspir to poison him with strychnine. Minty features of th evidence exactly resembled the circumstances of _pelmet's case, which hardly sus passed this either In the duration of the inquiry or , in the imposing array of scientific witnesses. The duty, however, of striking a balance between their conttictiog tes. timony, was confided by the Swiss ()Dart to the "College of Health." Te this council of assessors certain questions seem to have been referred, and its report, embodied in eight separate propositions, doubtless influenced the result very materially. The effect of it was that the immediate cause of M. Tt urepy , e death was apoplexy, produced by strych nine, at a time when he see suffering from nervous depression; that Dr. Demme had given an impro bable account of the symptoms immediately pre ceding the seizure, and had otherwise acted unpro fessionally ; that there was no ground for the imp position of accidental poisoning, but that there were scree reasons to suspect suicide ; and that, from a scientific point of view, the administration of poison by the band of another could not be inferred from the admitted facts. One consequence of this report was that the doctor, although acquitted, was sen tenced to pay half the costs of the trial, while his co-defendant received an indemnity. The second point which deserves our attention is the strange custom observed in administering the oath to certain witnesses. Two women, Anna Warner and Anna Moller, both of them servants in M. Trumps , s household, who had attended him In his last hours, gave testimony whiob,upon the whole, was unexpectedly favorable to the moused. The rocure= General, thereupon demanded that they should be sworn—a precaution which is only taken in Switzerland on rare occasions—and they were sworn accordingly ; but not until a terrific form of adjuration prescribed by Swiss law had been solemnly addressed to them, the whole audience standing. A curious chapter of antiquarian lore might be written on the history ofoatbs, and in such a treatise this marvellous form of commit:lotion would certainly deserve a prominent place. We ex tract a few sentences as specimens : "The words which you era about to repeat signify that yon renounce, forever and deliberately, the clemency, the help, and the blessing of God, and that you do _not expect from. Him anything but disgrace and malediction if you swear falsely: , • • • Reflect how great and terrible are the penalties for false swearing. With respect to temporal life, they consist in the loss of your honor and your fair re pute, the abomination of all honest people, the privation of the Divine blessing in all your undertakings, the malediction of God on your worldly goods, your house, your belongings, and your children. With regard to spirituals, they are a hardened, unquiet, and despairing conscience, which, night and day, will inspire you with fear and terror, fearful agony, judgment, condemnation, and the pain of eternal suffering: , Etc. The famous anathema pronounced by Dr. Slop in Tristram Shandy hardly goes beyond this in vielence, and to match it in superstition we should probably have to go back to the Saxon usage of compurgation.

Bryant, Stratton,& Bannister Commercial College, Tenth and Che stnut streets on Tuesday evening last : Whereas, The best interests of the country demand a careful and conscientious regard for the intellectual and moral culture of those who are to shape and control its future, and give it character at home and abroad; and Whereas, 'the molt proper method of advancing these interests is to encourage all legitimate efforts aiming to attain this end; and Whereas, The more direct and practical these efforts. the more they are entitled to consideration and respect; therefore Resolved. That in the Commercial College enterprise of Messrs.' Bryant. Stratton, & Bannister we tee 'gait° a most Important auxiliary in this direction, believing, as we do, that a sound business education is the great essential In forming a truly American character, and that an institution devoting itself entirely to the prac tical teaching of business science is thus better able to secure a high degree of proficiency and fidelity of ap plication. Resolved, That the spirit of enterprise evinced by these gentlemen In establishing their colleges in nearly all the important commercial cities of the country, as well as in the completeness of the /*ditties for irepart- Big instruction are worthy of great credit, ;tad justly entitle them to the marked success which has attended their elbrte.

A sermon was preached, in the morning, by. Chaplain Hokum, on Eph., 6, 20. At two o'olock, about two hundred sal. Merit set down to an excellent dinner, the expenses of.whieh had been borne by the ladies interested In the institution. At about four o'clock a large num ber of ladies and gentlemen, as well as the Inmates of the hospital, assembled to bo present at the pre• sentation of a very fine flag which had been donated to the hospital by the ladles and, some of the ear. geons. The Rev. Kr. Robbins, of the Green Hill Presbyterian Church, presented the flag in the name of the donors, and the ohaplain received it in the name of the officers of the institution, and re• sponded. A. patriotic song from the ladies and the playing of the band preceded and accompanied the raising of the tag, and the hearty and enthusiastic cheers which at the conclusion were given for the ladles, the flag, the surgeon iii charge, and the faith ful steward, gave evidence that the exercises had passed off toile satisfaction of all.

MOE2'• idIICESTS. Tbytis ,more persons attached to the retry yard were arrested yesterday afternoon by United States detectives. It is allesed they are Implicated to the recent heavy robberies that have been committed at the Philadelphia naval ate:Alma. In addition to this, it was stated that one of therparties, a marrieeman, arrested a short time sines, had furnished a house in a costly style in the southern part of the city. The mistress of the came suddenly sold the furnithre, and decamped with the proesesla of the Sale. The subject bus engrossed a very large share of pope /sr attention, and rumors are wild in regard to tt.. The most marvel/ ms stories ofTraud are told, all of. which are probably esiaggeraiefl. A' VIRE-PROOF' WITH ITS COI9TBINTEI LE bre-proof was stolen from a lager beer saloon on; street, opposite Union, after 12 o'clock on Thursday night, It was placed in a go cart from. the rear of the• house on Water street, and then taken to another house near Front sad Dock streets, . where it was tumbled down the steps, and then car ried Into the coal-hole. The fire-proof was broken into and robbed of its contents. A considerable amount of foreign coin. title•paperc ter property. and other things were stolen. Three merrwers arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of the- robbery. The papers were recovered by the offtlers. Tee par ties will probably hove s heating this afternoon, at the Central Station. [Before Kr. Aldermsa Beitler.l AI:MIMED OriglrWAY 80882R7 TWo men who were arrested on last SatUrday on the °bars e of highway robbery, near Twenty-seem:id and Pine streets, were arraigned for a final hearing at !the Centre! Station yesterday afternoon. The principal witness who was robbed did not wish to prosecute theaffair, because the money stolen from him had beea•returned. The watch stolen from his companion waa•also returned. The witness• under went a long examination by the magistrate; he was very' reluctant in answering the questions pro pounded to him. The ease went over for a•further hearing, the defendants in the meantime being held in the sum of $1;500 each to appear. CONFISCATED GOODS DISPOSED OP. The basket of marketing, consisting of chickens, butter, eggs, Eigh., taken from a woman alleged to be a thief, was :dimmed of yestentay by order of the Mayor. The articles were sent to the Cooper Shop Refreshment Saloon, they being perishable artistes, the owners not being known. POLICE =TURNS The returns made by the . police lieutenants, at their leveeyestenlay morning, poaseseed nothing. of any general interest. The whole number of arrests fell short of the reports on the day after Thanks giving of one year since. This may be attributottes several things : the good humor everybody was in, the efficienpy of the pollee, the high price of whisky, . or the general closing of the public houses. Thera were several amanita and batteries, bat none of a serious nature. Thanksgiving days, a few yews ago, were generally attended with two or three tires, and a half doyen of fights among the firemen. We have seen in former times from thirty to fifty men with bruised faces, blackened eyes, lacerated heads, arraigned on the morning after Thanksgiving day.- the result of indulging in serious riots. But at the present time such scenes would be novel indeed, There never wasa Thanksgiving day to this oily at tendant with more pleasant recollections than last Thursday. THE COURTS.

FOBENN ROTES. A letter from Berlin says : " Englishme f n visiting Berlin and takingrefreshment in any of the ordinary restaurants that abound In this any are extremely, liable to make a discovery which many would esteem not wholly agreeable. If, for Instance, they ask for beef, they stand a great chance of ob tain's g a dish of horseflesh. The case actually oo caned to the writer a week or two bang. The eon• sumption of horseflesh is increasing every year in Berlin. It has been twice as great in the year just elapsed as in the previous. The official returns show that, from October 1. 1863, to October 1, Mc, there were 1,552 horses killed In the eight horse slaughter-horses in Berlin The meat is sold at prices varying from I to 23S silver groschens (I NA. to 3d.) per lb., which is only half the usual price of beef here. Most of it Is disposed of to the keepers of public dining-rooms, cafes, gardens, and beer houses, and is consumed by the public under the Im pression that it is beef, which It much resembles in taste." —An Invention has been patented in England which proposes to dispense with the ordinary me. clianical compression of steel and homogeneous metal by the action of steam"hammers, or apparatus of that clan, and to give the metal the requisite closeness and strengh by testing it in a form ap proximating to that in which It is intended to be used, and by immersing It without any previous forging in a bath of suitable liquid, such as oil or water, and giving It afterward, where requisite, the temper necessary to enable it to be worked. The metal being made by this proem is eo much harder and stronger it will be desirable in some cane to rough-tarn, bore, or shape the casting preparatory to the hardening and tempering of the metal. At the Newcastle Police Court, en the 7th inst., Mr. Robert Ward, proprietor of the orris of England sdoertiser_, applied for a summons against the Da venport Brothers, who were giving affracet in that town, on the groaned - that they had swindled their audiences, and obtained their money by false pre• tenors. lie quoted a case from a newspaper where an old woman had been Drought before the magis trates for obtaining a quantity of household furni ture by pretended fortune-telling, and submitted that the Brothers Davenport were equally liable to similar proceedings. The magistrate, however, re fused the application, saying that, though he did not believe in these atjiy exhibitions, yet if people. would be so foolish as to pay their money to see woke manifestations, it could not be said that-they had been deluded by false pretences. —A number of working coppersmiths of Paris are now forming a society for the foundation of a firm to be conducted by the members themselves- in common. A capital of 25,000 - has. already, been raised by 250 eharee of 100 f. each, subscribed by 208 workmen. The intention of the association is to gradually unite as many membersaa possible of the trade as associates is workshops. to be Suecelaively added to the establishment. The Liverpool Past of the 9th says that on the Saturday previous, notwithstanding the recant pro ceedings before Sir J. Welsher°, one of the inspeo trrs of the Poor. law Board, the Rev. E. A. liillyard, rector of St. Laurence, Norwich, admitted Brother Ignatius to the celebration of eaziy communion_ Brotherlgnatius is in lithealth, but applied him ee If with undiminished ardor to the cause of the Englieh order of St. Benedict. The underground railroad system in London is objected to since it haagone into operation, In oon lequenceeof the tanned being so Riled with gas that the passengers can scarcely breathe at times. The difficulty which has been experienced from having fire in the tunnel is likely to lead to the use of oom pressed air as a motive power, whioh would obviate the above objection, and give a pnre atmosphere. The emotion of joy can kill, observes the Saint. Public of Lyons, and gives as an example the case of Captain Crefet, of the sopeurs-porapris in that pity. flexing received the Cross of the Legion of flionor on the occasion of the Emperor's late visit to the eolith of France, his delight was so great that be was taken ill and expired two days ago.
