FRANK THOUGliet ABOUT THE 'ME.%
Mr. Gexemtv, the editor of the New
York ,Tribune, in the course of a notice of
the pew Broadway Theatre, 'nukes the
ftillowing snatching remarks
• It strikes tni as note-worthy that, while
very greal improvement has been made is
*hong every department of human effort,
tied Oft.) in all that is material and exter
nal impnifement has been made in this, it
is very generally conceded by play-goers
that the Drama of our day is far beneath
the skepdard of the age of Siddons, of Gar
rick: of !twine, or of Shakspeure, and it
stniglatta fig less potential element of so
ciariteithretion and enjoyment than it has
beard f•tWhy im
'Alumni. mind it is clear that the l)rnma
had behind the times. Once, the
noblest, tikes, those daring hopes, of those
wilitt'llionet of to-day is the inspiration
of Alin millions to-morrow, found utterance
on the Stage. Grave men went and lieten
ed,oxpecting to be nerved for some deed of
het*: daring, and were not disappointed.
The Theatre Was in its way a school, to
witich o *atestuen, Orators, Poets, Teach
crib:oooood. and came away satisfied. It
is 'vitt: otherwise now. In an age earn
eittlyoittiving to vammish the ruinous se
duottnia of; Intoxicating Beverages, the
Tkeatre rarely speaks of Temperance save
to{ 14)(61, 4AuAI caricature its votaries, and
l pt Leromr Bac° grog-shops within its
W#lll4 , (saying nothing of those which
eprjaeg up around it, like mushrooms after
a shower,) dealing out the seductive, dead
ly,poigons to thousands of giddy, heedless
voush, wllOlO it starts on the road to ruin.
'Wiest the woful ravages of Licentiousness

attention, and men's minds are opening to,
se9,k„eargestly the means of resisting and
Wiring back the desolating flood, the The
:Am:prefers to Lewdness the convenience '

din Most degraded and shameless of lost
wpmen resort iu quest of "young men void

portion of the retribution of their own irre

ready and constant resort of simple youth
from . the country in quest of lewd women,
mid there are doubtless first formed intima
citetantinally whereof the fruits are degra

We hear with sorrow rather than surprise
that abridged farilities for this horrible traf

Thnatne. A portion of the Third Tier, we
umlerstand, is set apart for abandoned fe

the interminglings . and indecencies
which often occur at Theatres, are here

CSE OF ETHER IN SUROERY
The Phiatlelphia North American pub.
liibes the follOtiring rase of a piiinful surgi.
citrePeration, pt4formed with the assis
tsnes ;of . the Let!icon. The writer is a
gentleman of distinguished medical and
scientific skill:
”'As a i rain of observation is worth ma.
sty Ecru es of theory, I venture to state a
pliin 'ease of the beneficial use of ether,
WltiCh recemly.fell under my notice. It is
niit m ore important, perhaps, than many
otl(Crs which have, doubtless, come to the
kliewledge of your readers. Indeed, I
utttle4stand that one at least among the sur
eons of our city—one whose mune alone
is a emir Clf strength in our community
--freshly fortified by his own well-direet
takelforte, is already making known the
beneficial effects of the letheon.
Being invited by a friend, while in Bos
ton, on the 27th of last mouth, to visit the
Massachusetts General Hospital, I was ta
kert through the numerous apartments of
thatmost excellent establishment, until we
arrived at the male surgical ward ; where,
among other patients. was a laboring man
who bad, four or fivedays previously, been
shoekingly wounded by a collision between
two railroad cars. The bruise was at the
ankle, almost completely severing the foot.
Serious tis was the wound, attempts had
been muds to cause the parts to unite, but
iii vain. Mortification had commenced.—
khigh state of inflammation appeared to
exist just ;dam the wound ; the bones
we actuallyexposed, and there was no
licifte . of saving the patient's life but by am
puuOton. This, I was informed, was to
take place that very morning and that War
t:it' Won would he applied. I therefore glad
ty accepted an invitation to witness the op.
maims. We repaired to the operating
row; the patient was brought in, and du
tin the preliminary examination, and the
apthetletop of the tourniquet to prevent
loss of blood, showed by indubitable symp
toms, the. estreuto sensibility of the parts,
add the tortures be must endure, unless
prOttleteld against them by some extraortli
4i. Sedsure. When all was ready, a
tphittlity of ether was poured upon a sponge
antßil to the Nostrils, and its vapor inha

rmalri lin &mulled, sod the ghastly wound

Seven minutes and a half more were ta
ken up in securing the arteries, bringing
down and disposing the integuments and
removing the bandages that had prevented
loss of blood. 1)r. Warren, Jr. and 1)r.
Patkman were present and assisted in the
operation. In a few moments after the
whole was over and the application of ether
discontinued, the patient recovered from
his insensibility. lie experieneed no in
convenience except nausea, which was
soon relieved; and being questioned ns s to
his sensations during the amputation, said
that he had no recollection of any thing
that had been done.
While still under the effects of ether, af
ter the limb was removed. he had been ask
ed whether he was ready to have .his leg
taken otT, to whirls he replied "yes.—you
may do any thing you like with me now."
It happened that on the very saute evening
another patient was brought into the Hos
pital, bruised in the same part and in the
manner. Upon consultation it was deter
mined at once to amputate. This latter
operation I did not witness ; but the friend
who had accompanied rue at first, assured
me that the result of the ether was perfect,
and that both patients w.:re left doing well.
A FIGHTINU PARSON.-WC hare seen It
stated that one of t h e companies from Mis
sissippi, at the battle of Buena Vista, was
commanded by a Methodist Minister. Just
before the battle commenced, and whilst
the troops were forming, it is said he deliv
ed the following pithy prayer, at the head
of his company :
"Be with us this day in conflict. oh
Lord ! We are few, and the enemy ate
many. Be with us as thou wart with
Joshua when he went down from Gilgat to
Beth-Ito-ma and Ajnlon, to smite the A
morin. We do not ask thee for the sun
and moon to stand still, but grant us plenty
of powder, plenty of daylight, and no cow
ards. Take old Rough sod Ready under
thy special charge. Amen ! M-a-r-c-h."
His company performed prodigies on the
field that day.
A sad accident occurred on the New
Bedford and Taunton, (Mass.) railroad,
Tuesday, about ten o'clock. A gentleman'
and lady arrived at the side of the road in
a carriage, at a place were the train, which
was approaching, could be seen at only a
short distance. The gentleman, however,
heard the whistle, and reined in his horse
to allow the engine to pass. — The koise,
which was a spirited animal, stood still un=
til tile ears were close at hand, and then
sprung across the track, so that' the Car
riage stood exactly in the way of the loeti
motive, which ran against it with such
force as to throw it directly inte.the air,
and land it some three rods off the track.—
The carriage was broken into a thousand
pieces. but the horse was not injured, the
locomotive breaking_ both_fills,..araLthu
setting him at liberty. The . - gentleman
and lady were both severely injurethe
lady, it is feared, fatally so —and when the
cars left both still remained insenlible.—
They were a young couple named Gover,
belonging near Mansfield, and had been
married but about three weeks.
Cuators arsailos xsisse---The right uffe
males to assist vocally at the consecration cola syn
agogue appears to have beat recently a subject of
controversy among the tweelitiss. The Jewish
Chronicle has the fillowing paragraph on Ike sub.
ject :
"May females, praise God 'at - the comm.
oration of a synagogue.? On this carious
case of conscience the" Rev. Mr, Leo, of
this city, has felt himself constrained, it
would appear, by some recent occurrences,
to take the best rablnnical counsel. Dr.
Adler, of London, informs him, in reply
—we give the italics as we find them in
the Occidenl—"that it is by no means cor
rect to permit ladies to assist with their
vocal powers at the consecration of a syn
agogues." And Mr. Leo,, adds that the
Rev. Dr. Lilienthal, Chief Rabi here, as
well as all the learned men I have consul
ted upon the subject, expressed the same
opinion.—N. E Commercial 3 &waste.
AMERICAN TRACT IRPCIRTY.--"Siliti‘A ,
mm! sialemml.—During the first half
year, which closed October 1;4 eighty-two
new colporteurs were Commissioned with
a view to permanency—making two bon
dred and three in the regular service Be•
sides these seventy-two students, connect
ed with seventeen Theological seminaries
and colleges, have been employed for their
vacations, from one to six months. Near
ly every State and Territory, and claws of
population, has received attention. The
German, French, Wt4lsh, Irish, and , Nor
wegian, as well as the American popula
tion. have been visited -by men speaking
and circulating books in their several
tongues. But the expense of sustaining
this extended agency has come upon a
treasury burthened, on April Ist, with an
indebtedness of $20,742.
The receipts have been, in donations
$40,970; and for publications, $50,970:
total, $91,9443 for the six months. There
is due on notes, chiefly for printing paper,
$29340. The amount of publications sent
from the General Depository, was $lOl,
725: exceeding the isues of any previous
half year, and leaving the stock in the De
pository less, by $14,380, than at the be
ginning of the year.
The estimated average monthly expen
diture for the next half year is as follows:
for the printing office and bindery, includ
ing materials, and the smvices of the 168
operatives employed, $5,000, or $30,000
fur six months ; for printing paper, $6,000
a month, or $30,000; for colporteurage,
g rants of publications. and other expenses,
$7,000 or *42,000. 11 no more than $12,-
000 should be appropriated for foreign op
erations, it will be seen that an average of
at least 620,000 amonth will he needed for
the rest of the year, without taking into ac
count the $20,340 of indebtedness. l'i.:r
haps one half of this amount may be real
ized from sales ; leaving $OO, 000, or an
average 41110,000 a month to be supplied
by donations. •
ThisTnEssisti.—A few days since, three
blind youths, from the town of Union,
Montgomery county, Ohio, were sent to
the Asylum for the blind as Columbus.—
These youths are btothers, and in the fam
ily, which , consists of eight members, five
as in this melancholy condition. The
cause of this almost unheard of family ca
lamity, is said to be the frequent intermar
riage of near blood relatives in the family.
This same cause is said to have produced
in the noble families of the South of Eu
rope a most degenerate end idiotic race.

of the views of the distinguished proftissors at Mer

The neemeireshion arrived at New Chicane
on the 19th inst. with letters from Mr. Kendall and
other authentic merges; in relation to the battiest be
fore the city of Mexico. The Order accounts in
relation to the battles of the Bth and 13th of Sep
tember, and the capture and poseession of the city
of Mexico by Gen. Scott, are fully confirmed, al
though our lose is set down much heavier than was
supposed. Our entire loss since leaving Puebla
is estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000, out of little
more than 10,000 met. On the Bth Gen. Worth's
division lost 000 men in killed and wounded, in
the battle of King's Mill. In the battle of the
13th, the storming of Chapultepec and the attack
on the citadel, Quitman's division lost 300, Twigge
268, Pillow 142, and Worth 138-848 in ell.
The Mexican loss is not definitely ascertained,
but was enormous. Gem liravo was not killed,
but taken prisoner. Nothing is said ,of tient& An

Presidency, but remained at the head of the army.
The report in regard to Generals Worth, Pillow
and Smith having been killed were all unfounded.
Generals Pillow and Shields, however, were se
verely wounded. In the list of wounded appears
the name of Capt. James Caldwell.
Gen Scott issued two orders to his army after
the city was in his hands,cong-ratulating his troops

has plunged it. His genius has ever risen
with the crisis ; and we doubt not, what
ever the result, that he will he found great

and encourage the genius of our country-
Juan for painting and the line arts, and also
conduce to the benefit and gratification of.
its members.. Its central organization is
in N. York City, whilst its members aro
citizens of every portion of our vast Union.
Whereever the divine spark is found--
wherever the creative genius& oi the painter
and thw sculptor .exista-..be it in the hum
blest child poverty—in the remotest
nook of, this wide land—the hand of this
ttnitherhood -of art is. extended to support

—nothing, but, The gratification of develtip
ing American Went.
To accomplish this object—in a mode
combining at the same titne public ; good
and private, gratification, a must admirable
PLAIN has been adopted. ,
The. payment of 65 constitutes a per:.
son a member of the Art Union for one
year entitled to all its privileges.
The. fund thus obtained (last. year ex

production of a:large and.costiy original

belonging exclusively to the Institation.
Of this engraving, every member receives

$l5 to $OOO, distributed by. lot among its
members.. This year, the paintings wilt
be more numerous and valuable, and there
will also be distributed 250 bronze medals

American artist.
The paintings, engravings, &e. nre sent

membership, an individual notonly receives
the two large engravings, but has also his
chance, in the distribution, of receiving a
painting or other work of art of great value.
The Art Union certainly holds outgmat
inducements, for patronage, which it richly
merits. Several of our citizens have al
ready become members. Are there not
