' Pank Tueatae.—Mr. Forrest appeared at the Park last evening, in the character of Richelieu, in Bulwer's exoollent play of that name. In this part, asin hie King Lear, Mr. Forrest seems to have got the better of his early acquired errors, and shows the unmistakable evidence of caretul study of thé author. The character of Richelieu is many-colored, and to give full effect to the play, each of these phases needs to be made apparent, so that the audience may view the character in each distinct form. The cunning priest, the satirical philo- sopher, the astute statesman, the patriotic Frenchman should all be apparent; while pervading the whole, is- the unmistakable feature, the confident, determined man. Never despairing, never giving way to evil fore- bodings ; but even, when tottering under the infirmities of age and its attendant physical maladies, he never loses his “ fixed ‘persuasion of success.” In all this Mr. Forrest eae oiuieeniy, and on ~~ tye yn leu is a go form: et some blemishes. “To our mind, bo fas the business of the piece in some instances, without better- Foe Jostance, in the second soene of the first ect, sccording to the acting copy of the in we De fisupret, he should rise inoiaelata ly ‘iter ay ing-— “The very man To suit my purpose—ready, frank and bold,” and should continue, while etanding, “ Adrian de Mauprat, mon have called me cruel,” ke., but Mr. Forrest retains his seat through some twelve lines.

Warren County, Misa. dv ‘Aug. 15th, 1847. § PPI: — I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your very kind letter of the 10th inst., accompanying the commission (which you have conferred upon me) of U.S. Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the late Senator Speight. In the deep and sincere regret experienced at the loss of our tried and faithful representative, none can sym- pathise more truly than myself; none more fully realize the hemmagit f we have sustained in the death of this pure politician, this feurleas exponent and vigilant guardian of the interests of our State. It is with @ grateful sense of the distinction bestowed, d a high estimate of the responsibilities which [ am about to assume, that I accept the commission you have tendered, with so much of delicate and gratifying en- couragement. ‘The approbation which you convey of my services in the twenty-ninth Congress, is especially Keating be- cause therein was manifested my fixed opinion on the~ taxing and expending powers of the federal government, my uniformly entertained and often avowed creed of strict construction for the constitution of our Union. I oannot express adequately my thanks fer the high commendation you bestow on the services rendered in Mexico by the first Mississippi Riflemen. As the repre- sentative of the people, you give us that meed of praise which is the great incentive, the only reward of the citi- zen soldier for all which he may suffer or do in the cause ps. under your organi- we ervice of the United + Proud of the name of Mississippi; proud of her former achievements in war; anxious to bur- nish on the battle field her shield, rusted in the repose of peace; it was my wish, it was my effort to pre- serve our distinct organization, our State individuality; that thus we mig t bring back whatever of honorabl distinction we should have the good fortune to acqui: and lay it at the feet of Mississippi. as our contribution to the Joint property of her citizens, the reputation of the State. You have justly anticipated my views in relation toa ¢ with Mexico; an event to be desired not merely From its influence on our domestic policy, but also to save from monarchical alliance, or entire prostration, a republican confederacy, which, despite our caution and ous forbearance has forced us into war. The common desire of our countrymen to see the principle of self-government extended over this continent, and re- cognized as the policy of America, has justified past ad- ministrations in tolerating serious offences by Mexico, and still seeking to oultivate friendly relations This desire has, 1 doubt not, led to a general approval of the course pursued by the present administration, in its steady efforts to open negotiations for a treaty of peace. Should these efforts continue to be unsuccessful, we will have the satisfaction to know that our government has acted as became the Uniced States, in avoiding unne- cossary injury to « weak, though perverse and offending neighbor. Sinosrely thanking you for your kind ex- pressions and generous confidence, I promise ail which zealand industry can effect in the duties of the high station to which | am assigned.

New Yorx, Sept. 5, 1947, Sin—I received your communication of the 3rd inét., and am much obliged to you for sending me a list of the officers of the bsttalion of volunteers, and a copy of the original requisition for these troops. I have already mustered Lieut. Col, Woodruff,and the officers and men for four companies. These companies are now on Governor's Island, with the exception of about half a dozen men who were recruiting in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York. These four com. panies can sail for Mexico by the middle of this month, if required to do so. Recruiting will be kept up till the last moment, and if powsible,a fifth company will be formed for Capt. Napton. I shall report this state of things to the War Department, and leave it to determine the day of sailing. Yours, respectfully. M, KNOWLTON, Capt. Ist Art, U. 8. Army.

Brown, or Mis: i mine, From the backwardnees of the crop in this re- gion, we fear that the damage will yery much oxceed that’of last year. We learn from a gentieman just in from Red River that the crop in that region is very fine, and that they ‘are all busily engaged in picking out the cotton, and they are anxiously awaiting the appearance of the worm to help them wlong. He states that the planters will have more than they can possibly pick out, they having planted enough to supply both themselves and the worme.--Little Rock vIrk Democrot, 2th ult. The Georgetown (8. ©.) Observer eays the rice crop was lees damaged by the late freshet than was appre- hended, and it is supposed that an average crop will be gathered, The Detroit Free Press estimates the aggregate sur- plus of the wheat crop of Michigan at 7,000,000 bush- els, This is fully equal to last year, The Port Tobacco (Md.) Times says the tobacco crop of that State has been seriously affected by copious rains. Ivis estimated that the production of sugar in Loui- fiana this year, will exceed, by at least 50,000 hhds., the crop of last year, The Albany (Ga.) Patriot says, “the cotton crops of Baker count, look well” The Concordia (La ) Intelligencer, of Vist ult., says, “in the large and fertile cotton region formed by cur own and the parishes adjacent to ur, the crops look more promising then they have done for fivs years past, The bolls are full and hewlthy, and everything seems to give good hope to the planter, So far as we oan learn, after the most anxious and fall inquiry, not a worm is on our cotton within a considerable distance of us, and our owa opinion, based upon the opinion of the most observing planters with whom we have met lately, is that there are no army worms any where in the State of Louisienn as yet.” On the contrary, the Planters’ Journal, published in Mobile, furnishes extracts of letters from ® large num- ber of cotton planters in Sayth Alnvama, which concur in stating that in South Alabama the excessive mois- ture and the boll worm were seriously injuring the crop of South Alabama, so that it was doubtfal whether half, or at most, two-thirds of a crop eqpla be gathered. ‘The dwelling house of Major Samuel George, of Sen- brook, Conn., was burned on Mcnday night,’ and his housekeeper, widow Jane Dow, perished in the flames, An inquest was held on Wednesday, by Coroner An- drewa, of Boston, on the body of Richard Lethbridge, found floating on the tide water, near the Massachusetts iron works, South Boston.

My willingness to yield to the wishes of the people at large, and to serve them in the office of the chief magistrac; should they fully and unanimously place its weighty responsibilities upon me, has been more than once expressed, but [ am not willing to be the candidate of any purty, or to pledge myself to any agp’ creed save that which proceeds directly from the constitution, and the best and para- mount interests of the country, and which they solemnly demand. If elected to the Presidential office it must be without any agency of my own, (it certainly will be at variance with my most qherished sepirations) and to those duties I must go untrammelied by party pledges of every character. Should the people nominate and elect, (and there is ample space for this. previous to the time of election) some one of the gifted statésmen of the country to rep- resent its highest interests, 1 should hail the measure with joy. With sentiments of high respect, I have the honor to subscribe myself, Your most ob’t servant, Z TAYLOR, Major General U. 8. Army. Wn. J. A. Binxey, Eeq, Pres’t N. A. Convention, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Last year and year before, also, there was no choice for Governor by the eople. Both years, however, the whigs had large ma- Jorities in the Legislature, Such is the result, again, we presume. [From the Boston Atlas, Sept. 9] A correspondent writes that the license question has injured the whig vote. ‘The vote is not so large aa last year. There may have been no choice by the people. The Legislature, however, will be whig, as usual. (From the Albany Argus, Sept, 10.] On the vote for Governor, r returns are only from four towns in Bennington and five from Windham county, and they indicate no election by the people. In these towns the falling off in the whig vote, compared with that of last year, is 330—in the democratic vote only 142. In regard to the Legislature, an extra Vermont Gazette Says the two democratic senators ia Bennington county are elected. In Franklin, our correspondent states, the democratic senators are reported to be elected, and the senators in Chittenden are in doubt. These counties Were represented by higa in the last senate. If the de- mocrate have elected the Franklin and Chittenden sena- tors, the senate will be equally divided. House or Reenesenratives.—In Bennington county the democrats have gained a representative in each of the towne ot Dorset, Manchester and Woodford ; the whigs a representative in Pownal, Peru (nn abolitionist Jast year) and Winhall, In‘Chittenden county the democrats have gained a representative in each of the towns of Burlington, (for the first time in tenor twelve years) and St George. — An abolitionist is elected in Westiord in place ot a whig. In Franklin county the democrats have gained a re- presentative in each ofthe towns of Bakerstield, Fairfax, Fairfield, Franklin, Highgate and Sheldon.
