New York, Monday, September 9, 1844. ee ‘The Tariff'ia the Klections. We give in another part of our journal, the able and eloquent speech of Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, delivered afew days ago before a mass meeting of the whigs in Lancaster, Pennsylvania—this speech being the most clear and practical exposition of the position of the whigs on the tariff question at the approaching election for chief magistrate of this Republic. In the speech is also embraced ano- ther letter from Mr. Clay, defining for the fortieth time his position on the tariff, and declaring that he is opposed to the repeal of the present law —but such a declaration is incomplete, for who is not opposed to the total repeal of the present law, without substituting any thing better in its place? We cannot believe that he is against a modification of some kind. This tariff question is now the complete sport of political parties. What is its history and position? For many years after the establishment of the government, the tariff was deemed merely a finan- cial and practical question—it was nottaken hold of by mere party. This position continued down to the close of the last war. On the establishment of peace, a new tariff was passed, in which both Mr. Clay and Calhoun united in the same policy and like views— that is, a tariff for revenue, with discriminations for protection. In a few years afterwards, princi- pally growing out of the derangement of the cur- rency, caused by financial mismanagement, the ma. nufacturers called for higher duties to save their stocks from depreciation and themselves from loss. In this movement Mr. Clay assumed the lead, called it the ‘‘ American System”—the “ protec- tion of native against foreign labor;” nor was there any particular opposition made to the policy by the South, or any other quarter, with the ex- ception of that which came from the mercantile in- terest of Boston, which Mr. Webster represented. While Mr. Clay was thus making the manufactu- ring interest his peculiar favorite, Mr. Calhoun sought to do the same with the financial, by pro- jecting a splendid plan of internal improvements. In process of time, however, the high tariff of 1828 was passed, and then Mr. Calhoun and the South made the question political—end in the elections of that year between Jackson and Adams, the tariff was introduced into the political elements throughout the country. It is singular, however, that both parties at the north were ia favor of a protective tariff—as both parties at the south were against it. The tariff question, therefore, had very little influence at the polls, either at the south, north or west—and in the elections of 1832, 1836, and 1840, the tariff was a very unimportant question among the people. In 1840, coonskins and hard cider were much more potent. How it will be in the approaching election, time willtell. Mr. Clay and his party have endeavored to make a high protective tariff a direct iesue be- fore the people in the north and west—and a few weeks will determine the matter. In our opinion, the controversy about the tariff is one of the small- est and most ridiculous quarrels that ever took place in the world. Which ever party succeeds, whig or locofoco, the tariff may be slightly modi- fied, but never can be essentially changed. Tue New Rerorm Party.—This new party have now two newspapers in this city—the one called the “ Peoples’ Rights,” the other the “ Na- tional Reformer.” They are a sort of practical Fourierites, on the principles of Greeley and Brisbane, and have been agitating in every ward during the last few months. It,is calculated that they will take a couple of thousand votes at the ensuing election. Their principles are the most radical of the radical. They go against all owner- ship of lands, houses, or any kind of real estate. Their first movement is to divide all the public lands among the poor who can’t pay for them. They are, also, in favor of abolishing, forever, the right of the Van Rensselaer family to their property in the Helderberg region. What next ? ‘Tue Mormons.—The Mormons in this neighbor- hood had a conference here last week, which con- tinued forseveral days. Amongother curiousmat- ters settled upon, the apostles have declared them- selves in favor of Polk and Dallas. Have they had a correspondence with Polk on the subject of their grievances? Very likely. ‘Tue Currency—A Hint to tHe Purtic.—Now is the time to look sharply at those bank notes which one receives as money for his labor or pro- duce. When business is looking up, and confi- dence rising, the bubble financiers are always ready to palm their trash as money upon the com- munity. In a short time all sorts of bank issues will flood the country. Look sharp. Political Movements, Tue Wuice Srate Convention to be held at Syra. cuse to nominate Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Canal Commissioners, and Presidential Electors, meet on Wednesday next. ‘Tue Democrats hold a mass meeting at Tam- many Hall to-night to respond to the nominations of Wright and Gardiner. From Canton.—By the arrival of the ship Claren- don, Capt. Stoddard, we have full files of the Hong Kong Gazette to the 16th of April, inclusive The overland mail gave us dates to the Ist of May. We have, therefore, no news by this arrival, Faux Fasnton.—We have just been shown a copy of Mr. Oliver’s plate of fashions for the en- ings of this important body, from which a will be seen that the Convention has accepted )ation of Bishop Onderdonk and adjourned sine die. t appears, however, that the regular General Convention will meet in a few weeke, for the pur- pose of taking some new steps in relation to this important matter,—of confirming or rejecting the resignation of Bishop Onderdonk, whose character and reputation are involved, as well as the well- being of the Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania and the whole United States. According to our last accounts from Philadelphia, the most intense excitement has prevailed in the social and religious world in relation to the position of Bishop Onderdonk and that of the body of Chris- tians to which he belongs. This excitement, suffi- ciently strong in itself, has been not a little in- creased by the foolish, intolerant, and unprece- dented conduct of a Dr. Tyng, who, in this free land—in this enlightened age of the world—in this age, when the precepts, the doctines and practice of Christianity are as well understood by the laity as the clergy, and perhaps better—attempted to shroud their deeds in darkness, to conceal from the public eye and the public press whut they were about to do in matters of the utmost moment to the cause of morality, religion, and’piety. Fiom the divisions in the Convention, it would seem that ene portion of that body was in favor of a full and open inyestigation of the charges brought against Bishop Onderdonk, and of thereby doing justice to the individual, if he were wrorgfully accused and maligned, and of taking care of the general interests of religion involved in the issue. It appears that this section of the Convention were principally represented by the Honorable Messrs. Ingersoll and Binney and others; but it would ap- pear that another and a larger portion of the as- sembly were for removing Bishop Onderdonk with- out trial, without inquiry or examination into the truth or falsity of the charges against him, and in accordance with this policy, have accepted his re- signation. But according to the canons of the Church in Philadelphia, it is requisite that the re- signation of a Bishop should be ratified by a ma- jority of clerical and lay deputies in General Con- vention, after its acceptance by a two-third vote in a previous local one. It is possible then, that in the course of the few weeks which will expire be- fore the assembly of the General Convention, that public opinion will so act upon that body, that cor- rect principles of morality will have such an effect as to compel them to do justice to Bishop Onder- donk by an examination of the charges against him; by disgracing him if they are true, and by vindicating and defending him if they are false. To show the intense interest which prevails in Philadelphia on this subject, we annex the follow- ing extract from the Philadelphia Gazette : Eviscoran Conventlon.—The letter of Bishop Onderdonk, which was read soon after the open- ing of the morning session, placed fully before the ublic the grounds on which his resignation had en based. It stated that on his firat coming into the di. ocese, he was afflicted, while ona visit to the western part of the State, with violent pains in the side and in the stomach, which left him, at times, incapable of physical suspended animation— he was forced to re- hat for a number of debility of his frame, and the distressing exigencies ot his dis- ease, to rely frequently, and sometimes statedly, expecial- ly when in the country upon the same course of stimu: lants. He declared that for years he had meditated resig- nation, and that he had gradually been reconciling him- self, and preparing his circumstances for the step, when the Convention, of May last, met. It waa then thata blow was struck at him, as he considered it, cruel, secret, unwarned, by the hands of the reverend gentle. men who composed the clergy of the diocese. Meetin: secretly without notice to him, they had collected an: canvassed a number of charges aftecting his moral stand- ing and his personal dignity, and had at lest, without giving him an opportunity to be heard, attached their names to an address, which though directed to him alone, and consequently of a private character, placed him ina Re from which it was impossible to extricate himself, le found that they had virtually condemned him before- hand, without a hearing; and in the desperation of the moment, he determined to resign, and to call a special convention, with theadvice of the standing committee, He concluded by denying the allegations of indiscrotions of manner which had been made, stating, however, that frequently, his nervous system had been so entirely unstrung leave him in a state of unconsciousness. On the con- n._of the reading of the lett lay delegate, Mr. L. that no physician being acc sortto burrt brandy, as a to: years he found it necessary, from the increasin; . Ashhurst, moved that the’ Bishop's} resignation be accepted’ It was then that the difference of opinion in the Convention became manifest. Two courses, alone, stood open. ‘The first was, to refuse to accept, ond either to take measures for presentment and trial, or to let the matter rest forever. ‘The second was, to accept the resignation, and thus prevent, on the one side, the necessity of a protracted examination, and remove, on the other, the possibility of further offence. The first proposition was supported by the two extremes, —by those who considered that a public trial was ne- cessary, and by those who thought that the Bishop was no more to be censured than if he was consumptive or rheumatic. The last course was adopted by the great majority of the Convention, as the following report will show. “It was supported ‘with remarkable ability and eloquence by the Rev. Dr. yng, who, in a speech of great solemnity and feeling, pressed the step as necessary to secure the peace and quiet of the Church. It was 0} gored by Mr. Binney, Mr. J, R. Ingeraoll, and Mr. J. 8. mith, with much power, on thi ind that it was un- jnst to the bishop, as being, in fact, a tacit condemnation, and unjust to the church, as affording an example of question-dodging, which would be most fatal. It is impossible for us to describe the grand and solemn beauty of the scene which the evening unfolded. In the chair, in the strong glace of the gaslights, which, around the chancel alone, were lighted, sat the venerable president, his gray hair, and his black robes standing out in strong relief by the side of the altar. In front of him were spread the clerical and lay deputies, consisting of nearly three hundred men, darkening gradually in the gloom which hung over the lower end of the church, till the last files were hid in darkness. It was then, when the strong wkd and sbadows which were thus thrown out, were exhibiting in full relief, in the first ranks, the anxious and sad countenances of the reverend and vene- rable gentlemen who sat in front, and were blending to- gether, at the other end ot the aisle, forms and shapes in such confusion, thet nothing could’ be discerned except the eager and bent form, or the lifted hand, as the listener strove to draw in the full meaning of the scene before him,—that a letter of the bishop’s was hurried in, with drawing the resignation. The Convention, then just about to take the final vote, was at once thrown back, but the chairman, almost immediately recovering himself, decided that the withdrawal was inope- suing season, and must say thatitis the most splen- did affair of the kind that we have ever seen. En- graved on copper by the first artists in London, and most beautifully colored, it presents a very striking contrast to the lithographic fashion prints usually published. It must have a great run, if, indeed, the plate will furnish prints enough for the demand, as it is, in fact, ‘‘ the plate” of the season. Although received bythe Hibernia steamer, yet the explanation sheet having to be printed here will delay its delivery until Wednesday morning, when purchasers are advised to make early appli- cation to the agent, Mr. A. Wheeler, No. 4 Court- landtstreet, near Broadway. Tre Tuscarora Hotei.—The new splendid hotel), now erecting in upper Broadway, which we bap- tise as the ‘“‘Tuscarora House,” is to be opened in affew weeks{by Billings—one of the proteges of the immortal Cousins, of the American. Billings adver- tises for boarders—see another column—and we have no doubt he will have applications enough. It will be kept in capital style. Tue Warm Sat Water Barus at the fot of Debrosses street, near Canal, North River, are patronized by all who value health at this peculiar season of the year. A trial will convince those who doubt their efficacy. Tux Common Councit, meets to-nightat7 o’clock. What reform may we look tor?

Rowpyism.—A gang of young rowdies attacked an apparently unoffending man in the vicinity of the Chathain Theatre, on Saturday evening, about 11 o’¢lock, and followed him along the strect pelt. ing him with melon peels and calling him some hard names. The cause of the attack was un- known to several lookers on, who made frequent and indignant remarks as to the absence of e watchman or policeman at the time. The man escaped uninjured, Unerep Brormkes or Temrgrancr.—This Socie- ty holds its first public meeting next Wednesday evening, at the Apollo Rooms, Broadway, where some of the most talented speakers of the cause are expected to attend, together with some of the most able musicians, All friendly to the cause are invited to be present, as well as those who wish for information on this all important subject rative, and that the question was still on acceptin; the resignation. An appeal was taken by Mr. Smith, an supported with much force by Mr. Binney, but the chair was sustained by a large mojority, the bishop's, resigna- tion was accepted, and after singi ne ahymn, the Conven: tion adjourned wine die There have been few bodies which have ever met in Pennsylvania whcre more distin. guished men were brought together; and none where more decorum existed, and where more eloquence, in its purest and most exalted sense was displayed What, then ,will be the effect of the measure adopted ? It will be necessary, according to the canons of the Epis- copal church, that'’a’ bishop's resignation, after being tc- cepted by a mojority of two thirds of the clerical and lay 4 puties of his own Convention, shoul be ratified by 8 majority of both orders of the General Convention. ‘The General Convention meets in & few weeks, and should it ratify the resignation according to the canon, the episco- pate—but not till then -will be vacant. It will devolve, under such circumstances, upon the annual Convention of Pennsylvania to meet in’ May next, to fill the vacancy. Perso Movements. Lieut.

It having unced that James R. | Whiting, Esq , James T. Brady, Eaq., and jovial Jem Thompson would address the assemblage, a number were present from the city intermingled with the hard fisted yeomanry. At about one o’clock the “cry of here she comes” was heard through the crowd, and casting our eyes over a rolling eminence on the main road, we perceived a line of sixty-eight pair of beautiful athletic oxen, whose yokes were decorated with an American, “Polk and Dallas” flag, and in the distance at the rear of the line was the “* Young Hickory” of im- mense dimensions. This son of the forest was re- ceived with the enthusiastic cheersof the yeomanry, and it was soon erected to its station with the stars and stripes at its head, and accompanied by the choicest national airs from Dodsworth’s band, and the deafening peal of artillery. , The meeting was then addressed by F. T. Mar- bury, Esq., who was followed by James T. Brady, Esq. These gentlemen dwelt with much eloquence upon the various political questions before the coun- try, and the latter presented an able argument against the policy and justice of the manufacturer’s tariff, so loudly urged by the whiga as the only source of wealth and Prosperity ¥, the nation. They were followed by James RK. Whiting, Esq., whose peculiar position, and prospect of nomina- tion for Congress by the democrats and concurrence by the natives, caused considerable interest to his remarks. He spoke of the magnificent pole erect- ed as theemblem of the democratic party in the present contest, and as a memento of the past, when democratic principles had been’ the guiding star to the welfare of the nation and the prosperity and happiness of the whole people. He then aliuded to the several questions of national policy that formed the issue between the two parties at the approach. ing contest, and took up the subject of the tariff with a giant’shand. He reviewed the past evils of over importations, ferming an excess of revenue that led to speculation, fraud and bankruptcy, and exposed the fallacy of the whig doctrine that as- sumed the principle that high protection to manu- factures produced equal benefits to all other inter- ests of the country. He argued that a broad, statesmanlike, national view should be taken on this subject—that no one portion of the Union should receive the benefit of legislation to the injury of the other—that if any benefit was to be derived to any particular portion under a moderate tariff for revenue, well eaecols but he opposed, em- phatically, special legislation for the east, the west, the north, or south. He dwelt with much elo- uence upon the evils arising from excessive man- faotures in any country ; he pointed out the wan, downcast expression of children and infants en- gaged in the manufactories of the east, as con- trasted with the ruddy, wholesome faces of those occupied in agricultural or other pursuits; and ex- tended his remarks to the debased and wretched objects of humanity found in manufacturing Eng- land and Ireland. He said that the principle of free trade was not to be advocated until other governments were reciprocal in their views, and that whenever they arrived at such conclusion, free trade would carry with it the germ of liberty that would transplant it- self in every European soil. He said that the question before the people was, whether Federal or Whig principles should predominate at the en- suing election, and that those principles were 80 well distingvished that a review from him was not necessary. In allusion to the re-annexation of Texas, he said, ifhe had been consulted before Mr. Van Buren had replied to the letter addressed him, he should have advised him to have advocated the annexation, and he now hoped that if she was an- nexed, that this government would have indepen- dence and patriotism ses de to lend her money or credit sufficient to enable her to compel Mexico to acknowledge that independence that they now so pertinaciously deny. (Loud cheers followed this new idea.) And, says he, if the manufacturers are so anxious and earnest to have their interests subserved, Texas will readily assent to ‘ake the surplus of their manufactures at full prices, as an equivalent to satisfy their objections. He spoke of the occupation of Oregon, as called for by every principle of Americanism, and that opposition to it could emanate from none except enemies to the interests and honor of the nation. In allusion to the advocacy of Clay ry, the whigs, he asked who was to be benefitted by a high taritf, except princely manufacturers. Go, says he, to Lowell, and how many able bodied men do you find en- gaged in manufactures—few, very few—not one in a hundred—they are girls and children, who re- ceive their eighteen pence a day, and whose.con- stitutions are destroyed, and their minds benumbed by theirfdaily labor to support their employers. He closed with an eloquent appeal to the patriotism of the assemblage in favor. of the doctrines of the de- mocratic party, in which he contended that a re- liance upon manufactures for the happiness and prosperity of this great ugricultural nation, was de- pending upon a broken reed, which weuld termi- nate as a blight upon our institutions. With a tri- bute to the character, talents, and patriotism of James K. Polk and George M.» Dallas, he closed with the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. City Intelligence.

TueatricaL Movements.—A very amusing little bit of excitement has been created in the theatrical world during last week by the appearance of the new starsat the Patk. Their standing and talent, of which so much had been suid in eulogy since their engagemet here, and the general doubt as to the justice of their high pretensions, lent a singu- larity to the circumstance of their appearance which has drawn a great many to witness their performances. Every one acknowledges the respectability of the new stars, but the principal question which has been asked and which is now in the course of determination by the audience ie, “how little talent is required to constitute a star, and how slight a quantity of theatrical reputation of any kind does it take to get up an excitement.” The singular and remarkable likenees between Mr. Anderson and Mr. Macready which is said to exist, as will be seen from the letter of our intelli- gent and sagacious European correspondent, in this day’s paper—this resemblance in manner as well ‘as person has been the means of bringing back to the Park some of the excitement, the patronage, the crowds of former and more palmy days. This popularity, as might be expected, affects the other theatres; the Bowery and Chatham accord- ly are, since Anderson’s engagement at the Park, comparatively deserted by the play going public, fired with anxiety to see for themselves and judge of how far Mr. Anderson resembles Mr. Macready, and of the difficulty of ascertaining whether it is, or is not, Macready himself. Well, we are very glad of this, or of anything that is calculated to restore the fallen fortunes of the Park; and this success will not be hailed by us alone, but by.a very large portion of the theatre going people of this city. Theatricals, &c. Macready commences an engagement to-night at the Arch Street Theatre, Burton manager.

Lipman and Harrington’s equestrian company left St. Croix on the 22d uit. bound to windward. Stickney’s Circus Company are performing at Nashville. The Ethiopean Serenaders make their appear- ance this evening in Washington, and are to give three concerts during this week. Misses Randolph and Carnehan, and Mr. T. Placide are performing at the St. Louis Theatre. Musical Matters. Palmo’s Theatre opens on the 20th with opera and ballet, the latter on alternate nights, for which are engaged M. Desjardins and Martin. We would recommend M. Korponay to introduce the Polka and other fashionable dances, as no doubt there is much anxiety existing to Witness them performed in a truly national manner, Mad’lle Borghese has returned to town, refreshed and invigorated by the waters of Saratoga and the sea air. of Newport, looking more beautiful thanflever. Sigr. Valtellini has recovered his temper through his recent so- journ at Bloomingdale, and Will present the sweets of such ever before the public. Signora Valtellini, we hope,will come out in her proper place. Bein an artiste of considerable promise, we are assure: she will ever command an adequate welcome. Recently we have heard nothing of Ole Bull, but we presume he is at Newport, breathing the sea air, and completing his new pi Mr Jones has just complered an of which good judges, who have h the highest terms, and say it will command great pulerity.

Hammuton Houss, Sept. 7, 1844. Dromio Theatricals—Macready and Anderson— _. Their perfect Identity —Si Coincidences, Tam ilton , under the Reed, for of the and without fur-| ther d:—The Dake of Wellington has in tion a painting, “Christ in Garden,” which he purchased at a consicerable price, as a copy of very superior excellence of the celebrated painting of that subject. Soon after- wards, the British Government bought the original at the enormous price of six thousand pounds ster- ling, for the National Gallery, When these two works of art, the reputed original and the reputed copy, came thus. in juxta position before the tribu- nal of artistic criticism, considerable doubts were raised whether after all the Duke of Wellington’s was not the original and the government picture the copy. So closely is it possible for two differ- ent productions of art to resemble each other. @ There is a case now before the American public far more wonderful than this; a case of artistic re- semblance of an infinitely more astonishing kind. Those who never had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Macready’s performance of uny of his celebrated parts, may now have that gratification by visiting the Park Theatre. Let us not be told that Mr. Macready is not in New York; that he is an- nounced on the contrary at Philadelphia. Itisno such thing. He is at the Park, where he has as- sumed the name of Anderson. We saw him with our bodily eyes there, in visible form and sub- stance. So we said and so we believed, until after leaving the house we.aciually saw Mr. Macready, not on the stage, but in his proper person, at atime and place incompatible with the appearance on the Bark boards which we hed just witnessed. It was net then, it seems,Mr. Macready' Prodigi- ous !— ‘Were such things here as we do speak about ? Or have we eaten of the insane root, That takes the reason prisoner? Mr. Anderson has robbed Mr. Macready of his al identity. It is not an imitation of style. it is the actual transfusion of the elements of indi- viduality of one man into another. Philosophers have startled common minds by Promulging the hypothesis of the transmigration of souls. Mr. Anderson has afforded a practical demonstration of @ process infinitely more incredible, for he has ac- tually effected the transmigration of bodies. We saw Mr. Anderson several years ago, when he was brought from the provinces to the London boards by Macready. Mr. Anderson was then Mlr. Anderson. He had his own attributes. It was ible, when necessary, to call a witness to a Jury box to establish his identity. He had, like all men, his peg ro traits. “His limbs moved, his eye rolled, his head was held on his shoulders, his gesticulations, gait, voice, and play of counte- nance, were governed by the dictates of his own will, and the promptings of his own mind. Mais nous avons changé tout The nature et Mr. Anderson is-now subdued to the very qualities of his lord, His body is governed by Macready’s spirit. All the elements of Macready’s individuali- ty have passed into the person of Mr. Anderson. ‘he motion of the limbs, the play of the muscles, every characteristic gesticulation, the gait, the dragging after him of the feet, scraping the stage slowly with the toes, the see saw of the shoulders, the turning of the eyes one way and the head ano- ther, the modulation and pitch of the voice— the arrangement, length, and color of the hair, giving a peculiar character to the head, the hanging of the arms, the management of the hands and fingers, to say nothing of those things which appertain to the province of the dress- er and the wardrobe, none of which are neglected, —are so identical with his great original, that we protest seriously and in good faith that for several minutes after the first entrance of the actor we could not convince ourselves that it was not Ma- cready whose bodily presence we beheld. We had recourse to the bill, which assured us, contrary to the evidence of our senses, that it really was Mr. Anderson and not Mr. Macready. Ithas been said that any admirer of Mr. Macready, provided he were blindfolded, might witness any performance of Mr. Anderson, without discovering that it was not Mr. Macready. We maintain that the remo- val of the bandage from the eyes would only in- crease such assurance by summoning the evidence of the eyes to corroborate that of the ears. The London critics call Mr. Anderson Mac-zeady’s shadow. This implies similitude of outline only, and teebly expresses the marvellous Heatran this consummate mime has realized. ‘is per- formances are stereotypes of those of Macready. His presence on the boards excites the same feeling of awe as a preternatural apparition. He is Mac- ready’s Wraith. The performances of this actor follow those of Macready with a closeness of resemblance extend- ing to the minutest conceivable details, so painfully accurate that it is impossible for anyone familiar with the one to estimate fairly the pretensions of of the other. When we visit the theatre, the aston- ishment produced at the accuracy of the copy ef- fectually excludes all consideration of the absolute merits of the performance. We shall not attempt to criticise,this actor, because he puts it out of our ower to do so. He renders it impossible for us to think of himself at all by never permitting us for one moment to forget his master and patron. An idea has occurred-to us, a hint of which we would fain “whisper in the lug” of our excellent friend Simpson, whose treasury would be thereby replen- ished far more effeetually than by the brilliant con- stellation which he has attracted trom the eastern skies. Let him get up Shakspeare’s Comedy of Er rors, ”and induce “prs roe regan ep to person- ate, the one Antipholus of Ephesus, and the other Antipholusof Syracuse. He will easily find two low comedians, who, by the aid of dresses, paint,wigs, and a little drilling, may present a sufficiently Iu- dicrous resemblance for the two Dromios. Our life upon it, he will have such a run of houses as have not been witnessed at the Park since the palmy days of that temple of the legitimate drama, when Price, inits directoral chair, added,his acute- ness and tact to the managerial skill of our present respected lessee. Only conceive such a perform- ance. Imagine the audience flectually de- eived as Adriana herself, and finding it realiy im- possible to guess which is which of the duplicate Antipholi. Imagine the roars of laughter which the following dialogue would prodece :— Duke—Stand apart—I know not which is which. Adriana—Which of you two diddine with me to-dey? Antipholus of Syractise—I, gentle Mistress. Adriana—And are you not my husband? Antipholus of Ephesus—No, I say nay to that, &c. Although in friendly bis tothe Park treasury we recommend this, we frankly acknowledge that we should not ourselves venture to attend the per- formance. There are paroxysms of laughter which are not unattended with danger to life, and if the audience, either wholly or partially, should expire under the exhibition, it is a question tor grave con- sideration whether a verdict of wilful murder would not be brought in against Macready and Anderson as principals, and against Simpson as ac- cessory before the fact.

Whig Mass Convention, of the Doings and Sayings thereat. Dear Bennett :— i After several years of absence, I have again re- turned to this terrestial paradise, where I hope to spend the remainder of my days with that serenity of mind which is the reward of virtue. I have been astonished at the improvements and alterations that have been made in the appearance of the city during my absence. = Monday last wes training day throughout the State. ecordingly several military companies appeared on parade, ‘ armed and equipped accord- ing,” to the fancy of the individual members. Capt. Duntze’s company of Light Infantry far ex- ceeded the others in the completeness of their equipments, and the admirable precision of their movements. At least one-fourth of his men were provided with knapsacks, and as many as half of their muskets had bayonets. They marched in double file, counter-marched, and formed platoons, without making more than half a dozen mistakes, and performed several other equally intricate ma- neeuvres ina most masterly manner, sufficiently so to have put regular soldiers to the blush. Captain Duntze has already passed through all the grades of military rank, from Corporal to General, and re- tired with the honors of war, but finding his mili- tary ardor unabated in his retiracy, he accepted the command of this company, and their present superiority is to be attributed solely to his skill, spirit, and perseverance. The Greys have hereto- fore been considered by judges, to be second to none in the Union, but it is now the general re- mark that Capt. Tolles, of that corps, will have to look to his laurels. i Tt is not true that John Smith is dead. He is alive and kicking, or dancing, which is nearly the same thing. He has been very quietly engaged in teaching a large class of small girls.and boys, the saltatory art, in this city. On Tuesday night he gave a public exhibition of his school at ths new Exchange Saloon. As most of the spectators were admitted free of expense, it was iain and fesh- ionably attended. The performance of the scho- lars, as well as the style in which the affair was managed, were both highly creditable to John. It will be gratifying to his friends to know that he is at present in the enjoyment of perfect health. There was a whig mass convention here yester- day. No dependence can be placed upon the statements of either of the political papers as to the numbers present. My interest in political mat- ters isso small that Idid not take the pains to count those in the procession, but there were seve- ral who did, and they generally agree that the number was about two thousand. I took my station near the corner of the Green to have a good view of the show. Three or four score of boys, with handkerchiefs fastened to sticks,in the fashion of banners, composed a part of the procession. On surveying them one could not help thinking that the handkerchiefs had better have been ap- plied to their legitimate use. There were also three live coons carried in the procession, who occasionally elevated theirnoses with an air of inef- fable contempt. In fact, they were the most sensible looking animals in the concern, and were apparent- ly ashamed at the part they were compelled tobear in the pageant. The mighty mass was addressed by Mesers. Berrien, White and Coombs. There was nothing remarkable about the speeches of these gentlemen, except the first, which was of unconsci- onable length. Some appeared to be much interest- ed, but more seemed to be fatigued. W.E.R.., the principal editor of the Daily Herald, diverted him- self, during a portion of the time, by teasing a coon which was chained near the speaker on the stand, in such a manner as to render him unable to resent the liberty. Gassy also occasionally participated in the humane amusement. But, oh! Bennett, the bright blaze of beauty that beamed from the seats prepared for the ladies on the east side of the State House, where they sat for the space of five hours, exposed to the scorching ty of the sun, wase sutticient compensation for all the dullness of the speakers. The seats were builtin the form of stairs, the highest being about fifteen feet from the ground, and on these, by previous arrangement probably, were placed those ladies who had the pretiiest an- kles, et cetera. Where all were beautiful, it may be deemed invidious to particularize, but I must be permitted to say that in the brilliant consteliation that graced the occasion, Miss Elizabeth C., and Miss Elizabeth’S., shone the brightest and most Ever yours, Yauier Frowsr. Getrine Damp.—A fellow who was floating down the Mississippt on a mattrass, halt under water, hailed a steamboat that was passing with, ‘' Hallo, Captain, got any room in that shell o’ yourn? ' I've got the fever and ogue just enough to shake my toe nails of. I’ve been out here these three days, and doctor told me it might endanger my health if I got damp! Vm not alarmed myself, but I must follow the doctor’s orders. or my wife will raise atremendousifuss when Iiand!” ‘This argument prevailed with the humane captain, and he waa n aboard to dry. conspicuous stars. Arremrtep Revout.—There was a regular bat- tle in Philadelphia, on Wednesday afternoon, on board the brig Caraccas, Capt. Lewis, as she wes pro- ceeding down the river on her voyage to Laguayra, be- tween the sailors and officers, several of the former being intoxicated. The fight lasted for some time, but the sailors were finally mastered, after which they proceeded to their duty. Werarner 1n Canapa.—The weather at Quebec continues as unfavorable as ever. A warm tem- perature succeeded the late northeasterly wind, and with the continued moisture, some early cut wheat which was not in a condition to be housed, has uted more than an inch in length, and even taken root where it touched the ground. Great quantities of hay which could not be made on account of the weather are still out and rendered nearly worthless. No person recollects a season more destructive of the hopes and the labor of the farmer, whose success is essential to the general welfare.—Que- bec Gazette, Court Martiat.—A general naval court martial isto beheld at Wreshingron on the 16th inst. which Commodore Downes and Nicolson, on the Boston station, have been ordered to attend.
