NEW YORK HERALD. SS New York, Thursday, September 18, 1845.; EXTRA HERALD, wITH Important News for Europe. ‘The steamship Great Western, Capt. Mathews, | will sail this afternoon at 3 e’elock, for Liverpool ; and her letter bags will close at two, and half past two o'clock. | This steamer will take out some very interesting and important intelligence from all parts of this con- | tinent. The recent movements in Oregon—the steps | taken there for independence—the fresh revolution true, @ portion of that journalism which calls itself Mo. Tureves.—In looking over the first num- independent, is standing aloof, and affects to main- | ber of the Police Gazette, lately started in this city, tain neutrality. Thus, the Sun—Zrue Sun—Com- mercial Advertiser, and other prints of that lass, do not touch the subject, and cautiously refrain from an expression offopinion on the remarkable and porter- tous change which is in progress. But they must soon show their hands. Every man in the commu- nity must soon show his hands. All the oid land- marks of political partizanship are fast disappearing. Two new parties are now to occupy the field—the revolutionists and the conservatives—the ultra-phi- | losophers and sweeping reformers of ali grades, end they who conscientiously and faithfully adhere to the present systems of morals, religion, and govern- ment—who would maintain the judiciary in all its freedom from mob influence—who would preserve in Mexico—the probable dismemberment of that re. | inviolate, all the existing guarantees by which the public—the success of the United States in their Texas annexation—the initiation steps taken to oc- cupy California—the progress making in manufac- | tures on this side of the Atlantic—and the prosper- ous condition of this Union, will present to Europe a spectacle such as she has never yet beheld. In order toenuble those interested in these mat- | ters to send the latest accounts of these movements to England, and to Continental Europe, we shall publish an Exrra Heravp at half past one o’clock, this afternoon. Price two cents. Foreign News. | Although the Britannia is not the fastest of the ocean steamers, yet we shall look for her newssome- | time to-day. It will be twelve days later—to the 4th instant. The Approaching Election—New and Im- | portant Issue—A Crisis in the History ofthe | Country. The approaching election in this State may to many, at first sight, appear quite devoid of interest. | It is far otherwise. Never, perhaps, since the organ- | ization of the government of this State, pr the es- | tablishment of the Constitution of the United Srates | itself, has an election taken place so full of import- | ance—so pregnant with mighty consequences, as | that one which is to take place in this State in the | month of November next. It will not be a mere | party contest. Principles o° the very highest import- ance, and involving the integrity of the present sys- | tems of religion, morals, government and law, are at | stake in this election. A new issue of the most impo- sing magnitude is presented, and if ever the sober | sense—the sound intelligence—the enlightened pa- | triotism of the State were called on to more than | sual vigilance and effort, it is at this very moment. W eare no idle alarmists. | Let our readers look with us for an instant at the | present condition of parties in this State—the strange combinations which are manifesting themselves— and the threatening signs which are, day by day, presented with increasing clearness, and then let them answer whether there is not ground for serious apprehension. « As we showed’ yesterday, in a manner which we | are inclined to think did not fail to flash conviction on the mind of the discerning and independent rea- | der—both the political parties of the day, have reached that period which the history of the past | has marked, with such remarkable precision, as the | limit, the ultimatum of their existence. Political | organizations, like man himself, have thei: alloted | time—their natural periods of adolescence, maturity | and decay. | To-day he puts forth | The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, | And bears his blushing honors thick upon him. | The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And, when he thinks, good ‘easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, nips his root, And thus he falls. Both the old parties in this State are in the throes of dissolution. New political elements are evolving themselves—new combinations of strange import are in process of formation, and thus at this very moment we are presented with the extraordinary spectacle of the union and concerted action of | Philosopher O'Sullivan, one of the accredited organs ofthe old democratic party,and Philosopher Greeley, the favored mouth-piece of the old whig party in thisregion. Both young men—both enthusiasts— both deeply imbued with all the vague, visionary, wild and ultra notions of the day in philosophy, morals, religion, and politics; although differing in some minute points, they have assumed the leader- ship andconduct of the new revolutionary move~ ment which has taken up the affirmative of the Con- vention question, and under covert of an appeal to the people in favor of a reform of the State Consti- tution, seek the utter overthrow of the existing so- cial, moral, and political system. Greeley and O’Sullivan may, indeed, be regarded as the Diogenes and Democritus of this extraordinary movement. O’Sullivan, from his temperament and habits, gives a dash of humane sentiment and poli- esse—a sort of intellectual dandyism to his philoso- phy ; but Greeley regards with a scowling and fero- cious eye all the refinements and luxuries of civili- zation; and as he stalks abroad, his misshapen form, attired in strange and outré garments—significant of his supreme contempt for the common herd of man- kind—he cries aloud against all the established ferns of society, and religion,’and civil goverment. He is a root-and-branch—a “ three-times-through- and-through” radical reformer. Nor is O'Sullivan one of your timorous, fearful, cowardly advocates of half way measures. He, too, wants an entire change in the judiciary system—demands abolition of capital punishment—contends for abolition of slavery—declaims against annexation as a mon- Strous iniquity—denounces what he regards as gros injustice inthe laws regulating the tenure of pro- perty—sympathizes with the poor, slandered, Op- pressed and persecuted reformers, the anti-renters— and is, indeed, as bold, resolute, and enthusiastic a revolutionist, as you can any where pick up in these days of revolution and change. Thus, then, abolition and anti-rentism—socialism and pshycology—Fourierism and folly—anti-hanging and anti-law and order—transcendentaliem in ethics and revolution in every thing—Greeley and O’Sulli- van, mix and mingle in one strange motly move- ment, whose watchword, loudly reiterated in all di- rections, is “The Convention and reform—reform and the Convention.” Day after day the columns of the Tribune and the Morning News teem with ap- peals, more or less vehementjand intemperate, in fa- vor of the Convention, and an entire remodelling of the State Constitution. Fierce and funny squab- bles, it is true, take place every now and then be- tween these two prints on the momentous ques- tion of the duty on fourpenny-nailsand cotton sheet- ings; but in,fraternal concord, both maintain, with friendly emulation, the‘advocacy of the Convention, and all the radical changes which are‘by that means sought to be produced. Thus, gradually and with a rapidity for whieh it is difficult to ace-unt, the new revolutionary party has been in process of formation out of the decomposed elements of the two old poli- tical parties. Ranged on the side of the Convention, we have now in open and imposing array all the wild, extravagant, visionary and revolutionery no- tions of the time, marshalled and led on by Greeley and O'Sullivan, the two great Girondist leaders of the age. All this has hot proceeded without inspiring alarm in the minds of the intelligent, sober, and conservative classes of society, We early perceived the crisis that was approaching, Long since we saw--and no extraerdinary faculty of foresight was needed to make the discovery—that the period must sooner or later arrive, when the revolutionary prineiples—the ultra theories and doctrines, which then to many appeared the mere ravings of dream- ing theorists—and the conservative influences which maintain society in a state of peace and order, must come into collision. That time has arrived. The conflict has already commenced The Courier ond Enquirer, and Express, even in the darkness of their intellect, have thoroughly awakened to a@ conviction of the danger that now threatens, not the old political or- | ganizations merely, but the safety of the, State ateell, “This feeling of alarm is spreading. It is rights of property are secured, and who would maintain, at all hazards, that christian faith which is the surest safeguard of individual and national prosperity. Intelligent and thoughtful men of all parties—we speak as unto wise men—judge ye what we say+ The great principles which maintain society in peace and order, are now most seriously me- naced. No longer confined to little knots of crazy philosophers, the revolutionary move- ment embraces strong political _ influences, ‘and wields the power of presses, sustained and sanctioned by both the old political organizations o¢ the State. Anti-rentism—abolitionism—Fourierism —socialism—incendiarism—ultraism of every de- scription, are banding themselves together, in oppo- sition to the conservative influences of society.— The hosts of the Convention are as miscellaneous as the army that collected under David, after he fled tothe cave Adullam—*t And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him, and he became a captain over them.” Is this atime for inaction? Is this a time to fold the arms, and look calmly on, as the swelling tide of revolu- tion sweeps along?’ What is there in the present constitution of this State, in the organization of so- ciety, that demands the radical and ruthless changes which are soinsolently demanded? Is it true that our judiciary system—that our representative sys- tem—that our laws regulating the rights of property, marriage, and so on, are defective and unjust? Is it true that our holy religion is a mockery, and ought to be exchanged for the cold and barren moralities of a false philosophy?) No—no. Knaves or fools are all those demagogues, orators and scribblers, who are thus assailing our civiland social institutions.-- | The constitution of this State has stood the test.— We have gone on prosperously under it. Our State has increased in wealth, in population, in all the ele- ments of prosperity, in an extraordinary ratio.— Peace and plenty have filled all our borders with joy and gladness. If evils have presented themselves, they have been the result of a defective administra- tion of the constitution and laws, not of the consti- tution and laws themselves. Let the constitution be preserved sacred and inviolate. This election, then, will determine an issue of the most momentous interest. The antagonism has fairly commenced between the revolutionary and the conservative principles of the present age. Is it not time for the friends of law and order, and the constitution to be up and doing? Let a public meeting be at once called in this city, and a deci- ded stand be made against these banded influences of disorganization and change, which threaten the introduction of general anarchy and disaster The present, is, indeed, one of the most interesting crises that has ever taken place in the history of the coun- try. Ifthe revolutionists be successful in New York, the movement will spread all over the country, and the stability of the republic itself be seriously endanger- ed. Wise men ofall parties, again we appeal to you Are you prepared to see the bonds of society rudely torn asunder? Depend upon it, if this revolutionary movement be not checked, it will produce wide- spread anarchy and ruin. Even grant—which we are by no means disposed to do—that the leaders | are actuated by pure motives—by a conscientious desire to effect salutary changes, they are going to work rather like incendiaries and madmen, than sober and rational reformers. As one of the most philosophical of the historians of the French Revo- lution has well said, when speaking of the Giron- dists of another day—‘‘ The common proverb that ‘hell is paved with good intentions,’ shows how generally pertlous conduct, even when flowing from consequences.” We have spoken at some length on this subject. But we feel its importance. And our words have not been lightly spoken. Let the wise and patriotic mark them well, and act as be- comes friends of the State and the republic, when the day of election comes. Travet to Evrore.—The Great Western, to sail to-day, has about fitty paesengers engaged, and that will be the least number that she will carry out on this trip. When we take into consideration the fact that the most splendid of our packets sail this month, and at the rate of one a week, the Western has more than her share of ocean travellers seeking airs donia, which left Boston on Tuesday, had but thirty- eight in her cabinsfor Liverpool. Our amiable little neighbor city, which happens to be the dépot of the | Mail Line, will probably, however, get up a subscrip- | tion to fill up one of their steamers on the same | principle that governed her in giving three or four | thousand dollars to have a passage, seven miles long, cut through the ice in the winter of 1844 to get the Britannia to sea on her regular day. There is, how- ever, to say the least, a good share of enterprize in Boston. We are very glad that the harbor of New | York is never frozen up, for three or four thousand dollars pilotage for each shipwould be an enormous sum for us topay. To tue Workine Crasses.—in the Wisconsin, | Michigan and Illinois papers, advertisements are | continually appeairag for laborers, carpenters, smiths, &c., while in this city, ana other large towns, there are hundreds out of employ, and many others only half employed throughout the year. In the fermer, comfort and affiuence await the indus- trious, while poverty and wretchedness are entailed on the mass,by their superabundance,in these vicim- ties. Every enterprising man, really anxious for em, ployment, may find the means of working his way to those parts where his labor will be appreciated and well rewarded, ‘if he so desires. hoves many to look a little before them. Srarves or Great Men.—Eflorts are making in various parts of the country,to collect subscriptions, for the purpose of erecting statues to Jackson and It is all very just and proper to raise a Henry Clay. statue to Jackson. He is dead, and his deeds merit commemoration. But we don’t perceive the pro- | priety of erecting a statue to “ Harry of the West.” Hetis alive and well—hale and hearty—and stands as good achance as any man to be President of the United States. He has stuff for two presidential campaigns under his buttons yet. Wait a little and see what can be done with him. —_—— ExrrrimextaL Trir.—The United States steam cutter Legare, left the naval anchorage om morning for New York, the object of the trip being to try the speed of the Ericsson propeller. The Legare is to make another tripto New York, immediately on her return, to test the speed of the Loper wheel, so as thus to ascertain the tig Pp speed and advantages of both improve. ments. The experiments have been committed to the direction of Captain Alexander V. Frazer, of the Reve. nue Service. We took the above from a Philadelphia paper of yesterday, and since then the cutter has arrived | here. Annexed is a list of her officers:— A. V. Frazer, Esq., Commander; Charles Grover, First Lieutenant; William Norris, Second ditto ; J. A. Webster, Jr. Third ditto; E. T. Hyatt, Fourth ditto; John “Dougherty, Chief Engineer; J. A. Ruggles, Assist. Surg.; John Bryant, Boatswain; John res, Gunner; Wm. Harrison, Carpenter. Axti-Rent Trias al Deuai.—The proceedings at Delhi next week will be ivery interesting. The | Court of Oyer and Termiaer opens next Monday we were astonished to find the vast amount of pro- perty that has been stolen im this city within the last two months, which has not as yet been recover- ed, and which we are afraid the owners of willnever see again. We took the trouble to analyze the dif- ferent advertisements, and classify them according to the articles that have been stolen, and the result we tind as follows, viz.:— There {as been stolen in absolute cash during the last two months upwards of $9,000; gold and silver watches nearly one hundred, two-thirds of them valuable gold watches, and the whole number probably worth $6,000; fifty dozen silver spoons, of all sizes, worth in all probability some $800, besides avariety of other articles of silver plate, worth perhaps some $500; one dozen horses, worth, say, at a low average, $600, besides a quantity of cloth- ing, wearing apparel, books, table linen, &c., worth in allperhaps $500. Here we have, in all, property to the amount of $17,400, in the short space of two months, taken from our citizens by the operations of burglars, pickpockets, and thieves of every kind The reader will remember that this is merely the property that is advertised in this one paper, and is by no means the sum total of the whole amount that has been lost. Many robberies have been commit- ted which neither the public nor even the police know anything about, as from the miserable man- ner in which these matters are managed by our po- lice, those who have the misfortune to be robbed, frequently content themselyes with their loss, and do not even seek a police officer, well knowing that the experiment of looking for the thieves will prove to them almost as costly as the articles they have lost, and that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, even supposing that by some extraordinary mis- chance the criminal is arrested, the restitution of their property is by no means a natural conse- quence. It is well known that the thieves of this city form a perfectly organized body, and that as professional brethren,they are all perfectly well known to one ano- ther,that they have their regular clubs,meeting places, &c., where they assemble to discuss their plans, and carry out their projects. As in every other commu- nity, there are those who take the lead, and are look- ed up to by their fellows as superior officers. And in fact the whole body of thieves is as regularly di- vided, and governed by their own laws and rules, as these United States are. A fund is set apart asa refuge in time of trouble, and many an unlucky rogue who has been placed in a somewhat insecure position, by his deeds coming to light, has owed his liberation to the well directed scattering of a tew thousands, and to such an extent has this system been carried, that this city has become the rendez- vous of all the European burglars, thieves, &c., who get out of luck on the other side ; and the proof of it is, that within the last eight weeks we find in the list of advertisements, to which we have before re- ferred, no less than one hundred and eighty-four distinct robberies are stated to have been committed in this city, or more than two every twenty four hours, and this, as we have before observed, by no means includes the whole number, and what is the most extraordinary part of the story is, that none of this property has been recovered orany clue been found to it. The Police establishment of this city compnses within its body many men who have devo ed years of their lives to the profession of thief catching, men whose business it has been from their youth upwards to track criminals through all their tortuous windings, and keep the run of all those who make crime the means of obtaining an apparently easy living. These men have had ample means for ob- taining a perfect insight into all the various strata- gems of criminals, have a perfect acquaintance with the persons of all the principals who manage the af- fairs of the criminal community; and in fact, of their experience in affairs of this kind, during the last quarter of a century, has been putto any kind of use, } they cannot fail to have become as thoroughly ac- | quainted with all the arts of the thieves as they them- selves. Seeing all this, it has become a matter ot serious enquiry among the community atlarge, as to who it is that 1s to blame for the great laxity evinced in apprehending offenders,recovering stolen property, | and the general fulfillmentoof police duties. Ifa citizen | is robbed of a large sum of money,unless a reward 1g offered, almost equal in amount to that he has lost, what chance has he of recovering it? Is it because : | the thieves cannot be found 2? Then how i pure motives, is found to lead to the most disastrous | peyacuners that immediately attera large reward is offered, the thieves are found? Can there be such a thing as the thiet offering a higher reward to those who will let hime go tree when once he has been captured? And have any inconveniently knowing thieves ever been | captured most summarily for small offences, and hurried off to tell their secrets to the four walls of | their cell in Sing Sing ? All these questions naturally | present themselves, when we look at this affair in a | calm manner. A new body of police have lately | been organized from among the people—the majori- ty of them are probably not as much acquainted | with the ways of criminals as their predecessors, | but the public safety loudly cries out for a change in abroad.

The Convention by a large majority have fixed upon 21 | \d 66 Representa- tives to constitute the Legislature. There had been an animated discussion of two days on the qualifications of voters. An amendment was adopted, but afterwards set aside, placing all residents of Texas, at the time of the adoption of the new Constitution by our Government, on the same footing as regards citizenship and suffrage. It was doubtful how the question would be finally settled. It was impossible to say when the Convention would ad- journ, A great amount of business remained to be done. ‘The Legislative Report had not yet passed toa third read- ing ; the report on General Provisions, and the Schedule, were to come up for amendment ; and the whole Consti- tution was to be arranged and examined before its final adoption.

At the present time mis- fortune has managed to bring upon itself all the errors and mistakes of this long period, and she has to put an end toa question which compromises at the same time domestic order and the credit of the Republic. It is necessary therefore to know, before criminating our Jovernors, that they cannot bring back the time ast, they cannot undo what has been done— they cannot repair faults which are beyond calculatio: (trascendencia indefinida) and create those elements which have already been annihilated. That during the last eight years that we have carried on war against ‘Texas, a step has never been taken to recover it, nor to prevent its increase, 1s a truth which nobody will deny, unless we consider as effective measures, absurd decrees if they were not worse than absurd, which compared the Texas war with that of Yucatan ; imposition of con- tributions which were spent before they were collected, and raising of troops which remained at an enormous distance from the theatre of war, and whose evi- dent object was to secure, by means of numerous bayonets, a power opprobrious and ruinous to Mex ico. Let'us be permitted to take, as a proof, what passed during the time of the diotatorahip ; because, im the first place, it was then that the war of Texas was most talked of, and when, apparently, great | er preparations were made for it; and in the second place, the iniquitous followers of that administration are those who bel: in the facility of the campaign, onone side, and the inability of the present government, on the other. Under the ruinous and execrable empire of the Seven Laws, the Hernelig slept the peace of the grave, except on the field of battle, and in the dungeons where the Federalists were expiring. It would thus have been a singular anomaly, if administrations, dead to every feeling, except of course, to that of vengeance, should have had sufficient comprehension or force to prepare, if not to undertake, a campaign, which, if it prove a fortu- nate one for equires the most indefatigable activity, the most clear-sight2d provision, the most steadfast ene gy, the most brillia riotism, and the most refined i telligence. The est hment of a strong frontier lin the tormation of deposits, the erection of strong places o! defence, in a word, that which was worthy of the word, preparation for the campaign was not only neglected but entirely forgotten by all our governments, without one single exception. It is. impossible thatthe actual gov- erament, even with a thousand times greater elements than they now possessed, could provide sgainst all that is wanting, and without which it is not probable that our will prove victorious. “The funds destined forthe campaign, and which, if economised and allowed to accumulate, would now bo suflicient to undertake the campaign, have been diverted from their original object; indeed, so much so, that the soldiers of Matamoras have been obliged to become me- chanics, in order to gain a subsistence. Besides this, contributions which had been imposed with thecharacter of mere assistance or subsidies of war—that is to say, as provisional ones—were declared perpetual; to the sub- really the credit of the government. The result is that now it will be necessary to find great and sudden misfor- tunes, which will wake up the spirit of the public, in order that our citizens may lend themselves, willingly, to new sacrifices. The imposition of any new contribu: been the case had the large sums already collected been destined to their original and sacred object. “ Policy, on its side, has done nothing to level the road to victory. The Spanish and Irish colonies, which feel so much sympathy for Mexico, were withdrawn from us in that horrible campaign (worthy of the times and of the barbarians of Atilla, commanded in 1835 by the illus- trious Mexican Captain, After having worked up, by cold-blooded and horrible assassination, the feeling of all humane and civilized men, we have done ee to re- thy, nor to find in the territory of Texas h might prove a prop to our subse- We have done nothing to foment the spirit of Abolitionism, which, early or late, will destroy the strength of the Colossus of the North.” The writer then goes on to state the deplorable case of insubordination which a part of the Mexican army has lately commi' in San Luis Potosi. He says that the discontented Chiefs instead of employing their arms against their enemies, have turned them against their own government, which is ona bad foundation, and which they detest. In order to prove the mal-administration of the Government, 1n respect to the army, the editor makes the following Latin quotation:— ~Eternum manet sub pectora vulnas. {From the N. O.

[From Mobile Tribune Sept. 10.] The news which we publish this morning, will be found, on perusal, very interesting. It heretofore hus been our opinion, from information from high authorit the arrival at the city of Mexico of Mr. Arrongoiz. xican consul at New Orleans, wonld be the signal for the declaration of war. We believe so still ; and our readers will observe that in all our information, the schooner Relampago, with the ex-consul on board, is net yet noticed as having arrived at Vera Cruz. When we hear of her arrival there and receive no return ac- f a declaration of war, then we shall be disposed e that the policy of the Mexican Government has been changed, and that no further rupture than at present exists, will occur between the two Govern- ments.

Theatricals. Park TueaTRe.—There was another great house last night. “La Sonnambula” was again performed, and with, if possible, increased excellence, so far as Miss Delcy and Mr. Gardner were concerned. Woe have al- ready spoken at length of their performances, and have nothing to add,except that the favorable impression made by the fatrprima donna has been deepened. She isal- ready an immense favorite. To-night ‘ Cinderella” is to be performed—MissDelcy as the heroine—a role in which it is said she is equally efiective.as in that jof “ Amina.” Another crowded house, of course. Miss Delcy and her father, Mr. Rophino Lacy, have received $300 a night since their engagement commenc- ed—that being a third of the aggregate receipts. The Keans realised, during their brief engagement, $5000.— Such is the present prosperity of the Park. Bowery THeatre.—The tragedy of Macbeth, with Mr. Hamblin as the ‘noble Thane,” was porformed at this house last night. Of all Shakspeare’s plays, this, in our opinion, stands next to Hamlet in beauty of language and sentiment, and, moreover, it is the play, that to our view, has been least understood by the various great actors who have undertaken the performance of its principal character "The vascillation of character, and infirmity of purpose which Macbeth displays in the earlier part of the trage- dy, and which gradually gives way tothe more har- dened and determined front that he puts on when he has, as he fancies, made assurance doubly sure, by the it sight into futurity, given to him by the weird sisters, is achange which few tragedians give naturally. In the opening scenes, according to our conception, is pictured as one who has hith been conte the honors that he bears, and ‘8 for none el: fatal meeting with the witches, and their predictions of future greatness, dazzle him; but he still lacks the har- diness of advanced crime.to accomplish the deeds which he fancies will bestow on him the honors they prophe- cy. At this stage, Lady Macbeth is the one who edges him on and supports him. Banquo’s death again shocks him, nor does he become fearless till his further interview with the witches, who, though they shew him that Banquo’s issue will succeed to his crown, still assure him that unless seeming impos- sibilities happen, he will remain safe; then, and not till then does he become perfectly secure and careless of the worst that fate can bring againsthim. From that time he throws aside all dependence on Lady Macbeth, and is himself the prime mover in his affairs; her death even does not move him beyond the passing exclamation “She should have died hereafter, ‘There would have been time for such a word.” He depends on the prephecy. ‘Fear not till Birnam wood do come to Du: ane.” Even that is dispelled, and his last hope that “ he b a charmed life, which cannot yield to one of woman born,” is also di he finds that he “has been paltered with in sense by juggling fiends, who keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope.” Even then the stern relentless spiritthat has arisen inhim is not cowed. though all ze will he try the last,” and dies with harness o: 3 In the delineation of this character last night, by Mr. Hamblin, we found very much to admire. Ip ‘his ph sique, Mr. H. looks every inch the king, and the various struggles of the mind and the final determinatio character were given by him with great truthfulne: energy. The famous dagger soliloquy was mos! lent, betokening the inward workings of a vascillatiag mind ; the scene following the death of Duncan, the horror he had of again viewing hi ictim, the look of intense agony mixed with apprehension, when Macduft goes to rouse the murdered king, all were admirably given. The scene where the murdered Banquo con- fronts him in the banquet-hall ; infact, all the remain der of the piece were most excellently performed, and we regret our limits do not allow us to note them. In the last scene, we cannot refrain from remarking the beauty of Mr. Hamblin’s performance,where Macbeth feeling his “soul is too much charged blood,” refuses to fight Macduff. alleging at the same time that ho bears a charm- ed life, and when he finds this last illusion dispelled, the sudden effect the communication has on him, till roused by the taunts of Macduff, he says, though all has failed, “yet will he try the last.” This scene we would say was most admirably given, but we mustconclude, The subordinate characters were well sustained, and the mu- sic and stage appointments were excellent. ‘The Myste- ries of Paris was the afterpiece, with J. R. Scott as th Chourineur, The house was crowded, it has been every night of Mr. Hamblin’s engagement, and as it doubtless will be throughout. ‘To-night, we have Vir- ginius and the comedy of Speed the Plough.
