Panx Tueatae.—Tue Keans.—Last eve ‘Romeo and Juliet” was presented again at the Park Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Kean perfo: the two leading charac- ters ofthe ee The house was crowded, and one more splendid and fashionable has rarely been seen withinits walls. The applause was discriminating throughout the acting ofthe play, and showed a highly intelligent audi- ence—and the breathless silence that prevail in the principal scenes, evinced the deep and powerful interest with which they were listened to. No one could fail to ire the admirable scenic effect produced—it was new to our stage. The eal were those of Mr, Chas.

Pure, delicate, aud refined, she is still the tender, warm, and impulsive creature of her own bright climes.

She is discovered by the moon’s soft light absorbed and restless,and pensively leaning her cheek upon her hand, and venting her love sighs to the air. She has heard Romeo’s passionate declarations, and this emboldens her to yield to the promptings of her own heart, and all there was deep, passionate, soul-absorb- ing love. How beautiful and true to nature were the attitudes she here threw into the part—how graceful and expressive—how full of tendorness the tones of her | voice—how naturally given her alarm for Romeo’s safe- ty, and the struggle in her bosom at the thought of part- ing. The transition from joy in his presence, to fear for his safety, was here beautifully given. Throughout, the whole scene was delicat racelul and feeling the burst of tenderness at the close, ‘my bounty is as boundless as the sea, &c.,” was full of power and beauty.

The offence of Van Steenburgh and O’Connor, the ill-fated men now under sentence of death at Delhi, ; is not an ordinary case of murder. It is virtually a | case of treason against the State—treason aggrava- | ted and blackened by the perpetration of an inhu- man and brutal murder. The question now is, are | the laws and institutions of this State to be main- | tained, or are they to fall before a combination of fanaticism, demagogueism and rebellion—rebellion that has already proceeded to overt acts of outrage— violated the rights of private property—set the law at defiance—and in cold blood murdered one of its officers when in the discharge of his duty ? Again, in another aspect, this case becomes in vested with a degree of importance that cannot be exaggerated. An opportunity has now been present- ed of testing the question before the whole civilized world, whether republican institutions possess the inherent power of perpetuity—whether in a republic the majesty of the law can be maintained despite of the most formidable popular combinations to resist it—whether property and life, public and individual nghts are as safe, as secure, can be maintained as inviolate under a republican form of government, as under monarchical or despotic rule?

The independent press has been faithful to the Jaws and institutions of the country throughout this whole melancholy business—whilst the corrupt pres- ses of party and faction have been fomenting the ac- cused spirit of rebellion, for the vilest of Purposes, the free newspaper press has faithfully exposed their abominable conduct—warned their dupes—and per- severingly insisted on the most vigorous measures tor the maintenance of law and order. The fact | that we alone sent reporters to Delhi and placed be- fore the whole country the fullest record of all the proceedings, speaks volumes as to the inefficiency, worthlessness, and degradation of the party press of this metropolis. The masses of the people—the in- telligence, wisdom, and patriotism of the country are, however, with us on the side of the laws and institutions of the State; and we are confident that neither 8 depraved party press, the howlings of fa- naticiem, nor the timidity and imbecility of any ex- ecutive, will be permitied to interrupt the due course of justice in this business, which has been thus far so honorably and manfully pursued by an upright ju- diciary, and that too in the very teeth of such aed zan prints as the Albany Argus, The Tribune iat rier & Enquyer, Buffalo Commercial and ot hirelings of the same kidney, § | Cassrus M.

Clay has come out with a long and prosy statement in vindication of his conduct at Lexing- ton, which the Tribune and other abolition organs are industriously circulating.

In fact, this abolition ques- tion is going to have a very important practical bear- | ing on the Convention about to be held in this State, | ple be placed by the new Constitution, which the “reformers” propose to give us, on the same footing with the Anglo-Saxon race as to the right of suf- frage, why then New York will be an abolition State, and consequences of the most lamentable kind in relation to the Southern States must be the result.

On Mr. Charles Kean the length of our article will not allow us to dwell—but the character of Romeo, in his hands, was as finely conceived as it was beautifully exe- cuted. His melancholy at his unrequited love—the breathings of his impassioned soul to Juliet—the ab- sorbed, the musing, the abstracted Romeo, all was pour- trayed to the life ; and the sentiments to which his pas- ion ent,were given with deep and nateral feeling: and adings throughout admirable. In the | most poworful scenes, he evinced his, wonted ‘energy. Nothing could be finer than his transition from the fanci- ful to the imaginative, and then i ionedd Romeo— | and at the close, when deep sorrow sits brooding at his heart, his performance assumed a higher degree of | beauty—it could not be excelled. ‘The play was respec- | tably supported. The Mercutio of Dyott was spirited | and effective ; the Nurse excellently done ; andthe dra- ma has rarely offered so high an intellectual treat as it presented on that occasion. Bowexy Turatne.—The enterprising manager of this popular place of amusement, being determined to keep | alive the patriotic spirit which was excited by the per- formance of the Black Rangers, has revived the national drama of Putnam, which attained a popularity at this theatre, last Spring, unprecedented in the annals of the American drama. The daring exploits ot General Put- nam have filled a large portion of the history of the Re- volution, and in this drama they are condensed, and the scenes of those long, bloody years, are presented to the eyes and souls of the audience, who witness in a few hours, the principal incidents in the life of this wonder- ful man. Mr- Milner’s personation of Putnam was a highlytreditable performance. ‘The memorable leap- down the seventy stone steps was certainly the most ter- rific feat of equestrianism that we ever witnessed, Mr. Scott as Oneactah, the Indian Chief, was loudly applaud- ed. The striking traits of the Indian character were beautifully delineated Ld him. The drama went off with great éclat, and was loudly cheered throughout. It will havea great run. After Putnam, the celebrated melo-drama of the ‘Forest of Bon¢y,” in which M 5 Cony and Blanchard, and their wonderful dog, made their appearance, was performed. It is really surprising to see to what an extent the training of a dog may be carried. Messrs. Reet and Blanchard sustained their characters with great beauty, The drama is one of the mest thrilling interest. ‘The evening closed with the laughable farce of ‘Scan Mag.” We have the same bill to-night. Ninvo’s.—The question as to whether the drama is de- Clining or not, was pretty directly answered last night at | Niblo’s Theatre. Before the rising of the curtain the house was filled to overflowing, and long as we have kept the run of things theatrical in New York, we have scarcely ever seen a house more densely packed with the beauty and fashion of the city. The ticket office was closed before the first scene was scarcely commenced, and hundreds, we may'say without exaggeration, were turned from the door. The cause of all this was the bill of performances for the evening, which were for the ben- efit of Messrs. John Sefton and Chippendale, and consist- ed of the sterling comedy of “London Assurance,” and the drama of the “Golden Farmer.” The cast of the first piece was one of the strongest which we have e seen it played with, including Henry and Thomas Placide, Messrs. Chippendale, Crisp and John Sefton, | Mrs. Mowatt, and though last, not least, a new candidate | for public favor, Mra. Crisp, who ‘made her debut before an American audience, inthe character of Lady Gay Spanker. Of the various characters in t | comedy, all of them were excellent, H.

There are a number of ples of iron of different kinds exhibiting at this F The great consequence attached to the iron trade of the United States is begin ning to be somewhat appreciated abroad, as indeed from the importance it has a it well deserves. Our iron mines are daily beco: more and more valuable, asthe energy and enterprise of capitalists develope them. It is estimated that the annual consumption of iron throughout the world amounts to two millions of tons, of which this country furnishes the large propor- tion of eight hundred thousand tons. At the present day, when steam power is being brought to such perfec- tion, when we see railways stretching over the whole extent of the land, ironboats being built, in fact iron being used for so many purposes—this fact.of the ca- abilities of our country to produce sufficient not only for our own consumption, but for exportation if need be, must be a cause of self congratulation to all its citi- . The balance of the iron that is produced in the ld comes from mines that have attained their maxi mum, whilst ours are as yet in their infancy, and from they are inexhau: There a8 y they have as yet not been m worked, which is that the want of laborers in th of the country where they abound is severely felt, and curtails very much ths operations, which were they fully caaried out would be immense. Our ircn is equal to any in the world, but from the circumstances just mention- ed, our skill in manufacturing is not so great, but time will shortly remedy Of all the States, Pennsylvania leads the way in iron mines—her resources are immense, and are increasing yearly—the returns for the past year alone showing an advance of fifty percent, which is equal to five millions dollars,equal to two years interest on that incubus which overhangs them, viz. their foreign debt. The proof ot the immense interests of the United States generally in the iron productions of Pennsylvania, is that both the po- litical parties are united as to the measures to be adopt- ed toward d when wesee mere political par- ties, those heartless affairs who have generally nothing but the love of power‘or the perquisites of office to sup- port them—when we sce them uniting in the support of these mines Mit shows conclusively that there i: an indi- vidual interest felt in them bythe people, which these politicians dare not withstand. The State of New York next comes in order, and her products in Iron are very great; the seat of the mines is generally inf the northern tiers of counties; Clinton county, where the new State Prison has been lately erected, is one of the richest. The number of furnaces in the State amounts to over two hundred, employiny upwards of four thousand men and a capital of several millions. There is one curious fact connected with iron mines, which is, that in their vicinity there i always to be found the richest kind of land for agricultural pur- poses and also immense beds of coal. The probability is that large tracts containing ores will be found in all Nod of our Western States, when they become more fully explored. The article of railroad iron is at present only manufac- tured at one establishment in the country, which is Mount Savage, in Maryland, and from that place several contracts have lately’ been made for supplying some of the contemplated railroads. ‘To show the extent to which the manufacturing of iron is carried in the United States, would require more room than a mere passing newspaper paragraph can af- ford. We can merely point to our extensive machinery establishments, where from the most ponderous article there made down to the finest description of cutlery, 18 all got up in this country in a style quite equal to that of 'y subject to a more light one, tion of visitors to the specimens of daguerreotypes that are exhibited atthe Fair.

On the avenues, and from 20th to 25th streets,there is a great deal of building Among the many rich private dwellings, there is one at the corner of 12th street and fifth avenue, which, for size architectural beauty, and splendid finish, will probably exceed eny private dwelling in the whole country.

I did not answer him, forlcould not; my heart already wept for sorrows that I knew not of at that time. He felt from my silence that his last entreat; for a little time had failed, and turning to the mantel- piece,the old man wept. I turnedand went away myself in tears.” May God help the old manin his misfortunes, and send a comforter in his sorrows.
