THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT.— We are informed by Mr. John Carroll Brent, the Secretary of the Washington National Monument Association, that the reports pub. lished in relation to an accident at the Monu. ment are incorrect im some partculars. The watchman reports that one of the wooden beams domnected with the sires the column baving giyen wey, it displa two Qf the stones Be eB side, and a few days after, in company with a rigger, he Went to the top and placed everything right. So far as the Monumeat is concerned “Times defacing | finger” as not damaged it perceptibly, and the shaft t¢eday is as firm and solid as when first erected, THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE Kor Sus. amor 2 oe or Lafitte or Sacnzzasy Boutwat.—secretary well having received @ letter trom Thonias Lormg, Collector of Customs at Piymonth, Mars, stating that@ portion of the French Gable is + xpected to be im bie Gistrict in avtew days and submittipg the question whether the managers of the cable shoald be required to conform to the presemt revenae 18 Ws és on im- portation of other Ribas Sennen ePinds liberal spirit towards enterprises of this 4 acter believing ft to be sound policy to. do-40 the fall extent of thelaw.

Under its orginal mame ef the « American ‘Teestre” many deligh’ ours were passed te it by our citizens of the olden time in wit- nesemg the finest displays of the bisirionic art fhat Washington Bas ever afforded. The site vf the building was once cecupied by the jail of the District, (9 two-story brick building.) ‘Which was abandoned in 18.3. McGuirk, who murdered bis wife andchildrea by stamping them to death, was taken from there October 2, IN2, smd bung, the scene of the execution being ihe ground now occupted by the south wing of the Capitol, About the year 1-2), Wood and Warren. em'nent actors of that period, started the project of a the- ter here, and the citizens taking hold of ‘the matter with a will, a joint stock company was raid, under whose auspices the building des royed this morning was constructed. It Was used for theatrical purposes for nearly twenty years, Within its walls the mimitable «Joe Jefferson,” the grandfather vt the present “Old Rip,” nightly convulsed the audiences with bis admirable personatiors of “Crack, in “~The Turnpike Gate,” “Paul Pry,” and “Billy Lackaday,” while the streets echoed his jolly chorus, “Its my delight of a shiny might, at the season of the yeu Hore, too, “Jim Walls,” with. out @ rival as “Nipperkiu” in “Sorigs of Lawrel ” and as “Qornelias O'Dedimus,” and Joe Cowell, one of the jolliesi of them all, filled the house with tosterous laughter In those days, about 35 year. 4 comic or sentimental song between the play and farce was deemed indispensable. and Wills’ famous “Lord Lovell wb» stocd at bis castle gate scombing his milk white steed” 42s mghtly emcored for aL entire seasen. Besides these eminent votaries of Momus, Eberle, Hadaway, and Jobn ffton divided the honors of the old time play goers. Here, too, flourished the + ortginet Jim Crow,” Rice (uot Dan of clown- ish fame) but the first mau that showed the young darkey sports of those days how “To wheelabout and turmaboet and jamp Jim Crow,” or sigh over th? charms of “Lubly Rose, Coal Black Rose.” In the light tallad the “American Theater” echoed with the merry voices of Clara Fisher and Mrs. Kuight, the sprightliest of chamber- maids. In tragedy and bigh comedy, Fanny Kemble, (wbo made her deout in this country At this theater,) Fanry Jarman, Mrs. S. Chap- man, and a host of emiuent actresses made classic those boards, e! late so often desecrated by the vulgar wit o: burat cork or the flashy performances ot tie Can-an. In this house, aso, Forrest, Cooper, the elder Adams, 1n- gergoll, the peerless “Richard” of the elder Booth, and the unapproachable «Strauger” ot the sad-faced Palmer, contended with eracetul rivalry for honors in dramatic art Junius Brutus Booth was to play Richard tne 111 one night and after the audience bad waited half an hour for the curtain to rise, they were surprised to see Booth brought on the stage so drunk as to be almost unable to stand and supported by old Joe Jefierson and ‘Mr. Willett, Bis son-tn-law. it was afterwards discovered that he had been found in that con- dition in afence corner at the old Lith stree: Tace course, and brovght in just tume for the performace. Although rather weak in the knees at first, he recovered after the first ac and almost excelled himself as Richard Under the management of Jeif-rcon and MacKer zie, (between 125 and 1%35,) Washin<- ton Was supplied with stsrs of the first magai- tnde. Mrs. Burke, tae mother of our famous Charlie of « Digzory” fame, and of the preseat Joe Jetferson, she having married while here Jno. Jefferson, con of old Jee and father of our Joe. The Jeffersons resided iu the heuse, and in it, we believe, our Kip Van Winkle celebrity was horn. The Ravel family, since so eelebrated, and then so muck superior to the present changed company, first saluted a Washington audience in the Canterbury,” thea the {ishiorable re- sort of members of Congress and the “good scciety”’ of those days. Occasionally in the old time there would b> @ “respectable” row there. One night, we Yemember, an honorable Southera M C., feeling bis liquor somewhat, and under the influence of some fancied grievance, while sitting in the “first of lier” Of boxes, as it was then ealled, drew pistol and amused himself by popping jot one,” im the shape of a bullet, at an actor then performing om the stage. The ball grazed the actor and madea holein the scenery, which ended the exploit, except that the Bonorable member after apologizing. was bound ‘over to keep the peace. Uld citizens now relate how in their youth- ful days they used to climb to the roof of Mc- Dermott’s coach shop—which then stood on the corner of 6th streetand Louisiana avenne— and thence over adjoining roofs to a window in the third tier, and, effecting an entrance, view the performances on the clear. About I-35 the National was built as an «up town” rival, But the “American” under Ward and Wemyss ran a first rate company for two or three seasons, but fiually succumbed, and the house took the more stylish appellation of the “Washington Assembly Rooms.” Then fashionable astemblies, or select dancing parties were given once in two weeks under the younger fashionables of that day. During this time the «Washington Thespian Corps” flourished. They were eomposed of aspirants for bistrionic fame, and young print- ers formed the “bone and sinew” of the com- pany. They usually got up performances “For the benefit of the Poor of Washington.” or the “benefit of Mrs. Anne Royall,” who was @ notable but rather superanuated editress, who published “The Huntress,” a weekly paper, on Ospitol Hill. The ramor ran. in those days, that neither “the Poor nor Mrs. Anne Royall ever realised the flaancial pro- ceeds of such performances, because a bounti- 1ul supper and ‘trimmings’ were general sarved- during or after the performance, for the pur- pose of sustaining the Ristronic and intellect- ual powers of the Thespians, the cost thereof being deducted from the proceeds as a portion of the ‘expences,’ ” Among the principal stars of this company were Mr. Uolambus Drew, Mr. Geo. Grouard, Mr. Jim Beveridge, Mr. Lew Tarleton. As may be imagined the tree list” was extensive. ‘Moses Copp, the proprietor of the omgina! bathing-saloom, belongs to the Bistory of the Canterbury.
