large houses for some five or six weeks back. .The
scenery is by far the most beautiful ever produced
on the stage here, and constitutes the principal
attraction of the play. An entirely new effect is
: produced by" the operations of a. double1 action
panorama, the front one being pierced m imitation
of foliage, and the moon with its reflection upon
a brilliant sheet of water being perceptible through
the interstices. The acting of the piece is merely
-passable, the painter and machinists having done
their work much better than the actors perform
.their parts. s y ... ,. 1 r,- - .-.:.;. '
Our City Directory for 1855, has just been . issued-
Unlike the Directories of other cities, it
ignores the exstcnce of all who are not either
housekeepers or shopkeepers, but ' from these
classes it presents an aggregate of 74,200 in the
city, exclusive of the rural districts. Of this num
ber there are no less than one thousand Smiths,
eighty of whom are plain Jolm Smitlis, three
John A. Smith, five John B., seven John C, two
John D-, one John E-, three John F., six John G.,
five John II.', &cJ, &c., including one hundred and
forty-one John Smiths, either with or without a
middle letter to their names. There are one hun-
t
drcd William Smiths, fifty-nine James, forty
Charles, thirty-four" Joseph, thirty Thomas, and
twenty-nine Samuel Smiths. -' , ,
The names of 480 Browns are recorded, next
- in order comes the Johnsons, of whom there are
800, tliea 2C0 Joneses. : LThe . blunders and mis
takes which are consequently being occasioned by
this similarity of names must be very perplexing,
and sometimes decidedly humorous. As for that
ubiquitous individual, John Smith, there is scarce
ly any conceivable good or bad act that he does
not commit in the course of the year. Growing
jolly at night on a carousal, he is locked up in the
watch house or fined by the Mayor ; the next day
we hear of him as a candidate for Congress or
some other important station, then he is convicted
of burglary or manslaughter, and the next day
1iWjv1 rWrrtn nf a f!hnrr-V. He marries, he dies.
but soon returns to life, and marries again. lie
emigrates one day to California, and the next to
Kansas or Orejon. He goes to the wars, fights
bravely, and yet runs away. In short, he is more
changeable by far than the chameleon. He is
wise and simple, witty and dull, pious aid pro
faae, stingy as a miser, yet the prince of good fel
lows. He is true as steel to his lady love, yet en
gaged to bundrcds of the fair sex. - He is faithful
to his party, politically, but ha belongs to . the
Democrats, the Whigs, the Abolitionists, and it is
whispered Tound town . has actually joined the
Know-Nothings. He is tall and short, with red,
white, brown, black, . grey hair, and blue, grey,
kazel, black eyes. He is as lean as a weasel and
as stout as a young elephant, and he who wishes
to find a living illustration of all that Is good or
bad, need only look for John Smith. .
Not withstanding the severity of our laws against
the sale of lottery tickets, the traffic is still exten
sively indulged in here, and hundreds of thous
ands of dollars are annually expended in this
way. Within a day or vo a. cunning swindle
as been perpetrated upon these gentry, by which
they have been most effectually bitten. The
operators' by some shrewd management had the
true drawn numbers of a recent lottery held back
and fa!s; ones corresponding with the numbers on
the tickets in their possession,' sent on here. The
jsoliey men eagerly swallowed the bait, and the
temptation of a swinging discount iuduced them
to cash a goodly number of the fictitious prises.

A Basking Law is Isdiaxa. A new
Banking Bill has been introduced into the
Legislature of Indiana. It proposes to divide
the State into not less than fifteen nor more than
twenty bank districts, each to contain one
branch. No branch .is to be organized until
one hundred thousand dollars are subscribed
and the first instalment paid. 7 The remaining
instalments are to be so graduated that 0100,
000 shall be required to be paid in to each
branch on or before the 1st of January, 1857.
The aggregate capital of all the banks shall
not exceed $6,000,000. The State Board
Directors is to be composed of four members
-elected by the Legislature, and one member
elected by each branch board. It differs
