LETTERS FROM COL. RANSOM AND COL. SEYMOUR. Heaxquantens, 97H Invantry, 2 3 Miles from Mexico, Aug 28, 1847 5 Genena :—Here we are, bard by the “ Hails ;” but, like an ancient worthy, we are not yet permitted to enter the promised land, ‘The great battle of Mextco has, however, been fought and won With about 9000 men we have fought and conquered 25,000 men. the latter strongly posted, with field works, entrenohmente, cannon {in abundance, and every military munition desirable The battle com- menced on the afternoon of the 19th, at Contreras— was renewed at the dawn on the 20th. and was closed several miles distant from this place, near the gates of Mexico, on the evening of the 20th August. Our loss in killed, wounded. and missing, is about 1000 men; that of the enemy is not less than 3000 ‘The 9th was one of the first regiments engaged, and the last in the fight. It has done nobly—no one stands better. I feel proud of my command. “ Hurrah for the 9th—the bully 9th !” may be heard as we pass along. All ha done well, general: you will not blush tor the represen- vation from New England. We have had soveral killed in the regiment, nnd 50 or more wounded The war, I think, is at an end. Commissioners ha’ been appointed on both sides—an armistice has been agreed upon. You will receive the particulars through other souroes Mexico is undoubtedly the great heart of this coun- try. and the most stupid must now see that it stands at our mercy. We are cantoned at the villas, haciendas, and churches (all good torts) around it. Our cannon would prostrate its splendid domes and gorgeous palaces in an hour, With these convictions. our eyes naturally turn again to our father-land. True, this is a lovely country—s delicious climate—ripe fruite and fair flow- ers foraver smile upon you—the ardent rays of an al- moat vertioal sun are tempered gratefully by the eternal snqw upon the mountain tops. All seasons and all cli- mabe are kindly mingled here. Still, our hearts are not. here, We may say of New England.as another says of Old England, “with all thy faults, I love thee still.” Seymour has done nobly—so have your Connecticut boys generally. He sits atmy elbow. ‘The day does not pass without our regrets that you aro not with us. That quickness of apprebension, energy, and untiring activi- ty, found in a certain Major-General we wot of, has been deemed by us a combination very desirable in our divi- sion of the army—and we think also good everywhere. My men are very well; but seven have died of disease, out of 700 men, since the organization of the regiment, within a period of six months. Probably no regiment has suffered so little. They are able and willing, ifneed be, to fight again. ‘he country has every reason to be proud of its armies has every where perched upon our banners, andful of men, we have penetrated to the he: of the enemy’s country, and peace (as we think) seems ready to crown our efforts Seymour and myself must write “and tie.’ Ihave already passed to his territory ‘My kindest regards to your good lady and such fri 3 may enquire.

General Pratt. Serr. 6, 1847. Dear General: Since the date of the Colonel’s letter, the Mexicans have been in treaty with us until to-day. The rascals have deceived General Scott and all hands; the General has terminated the armistice, and in a few hours we are to have another battle. it will be a terrible one, and many a brave man must fall before the city of Mexico opens itagates. ‘The probabil- ity is, we shall have to atorm the city. We ought to have marched into it the day of our last great battle; it could easily have been taken then. Santa Anna is outside of the gates, 16,000 men—ready. I suppose, to fall upon our rear But let him take care and not come too neer, for the 9th Regiment are bound to have his other leg, and all of his upper works. I commenced my letter in a very common-place manner, dispensing with the affectionate greetings which lay near to my heart You must anticipate the ten thousand kind words and good wishes of an old friend, who, in the rofdst of many trylog scenes. has often to shut his bosom against the thoughts which weuld melt it into tears. ‘Webb behaved nobly, in the critical battles we had with the enemy—so did Stoddard, Johnson and Hat! way. Poor Woodhoure was taken sick the day before we left—so very sick the surgeon would not allow him to go with us,in any way. We left him in tears at parting ‘Webb has been sick for several weeks, but turned out for the fight. His nameand the names of several others were unfortunately left out of the official report, but will be noticed in a letter which Gen Pierce intends writing. You see I have no rom to send a word of affectionate remembrances to the friends in Hartford, who I would neme on paper. To all of them give my true love. ‘To my dear friends, Mr. RedGeld’s family, my most affec- tionate remembrances—to my dear friend Hubbard. and ad to your good lady and all your tionate regard. e mentioned that young Luther ero. and fell, but not dangerously wounded, in the last engagement. ‘The Colonel has made a corporal of bim. You may think it strange that you have not received any letters from me, but. since I left Vera Cruz, the road behiud us hes been effectually closed © us aud vur jends. I wrote to my mother from Perote, but without any means of sending the letter which I could depend upon. Remember me to my political friends.&c. Ib letters for many. but I can’t send them yet—I have only a chance to send two letters. I remain, dear General, Most truly and affectionately, Your sincere friend, THOMAS H. SEYMOUR. Serr. 13th, 1847. Dsar Generat,—l open this letter with a heart over- whelming with sorrow. We have just stormed and car- ried the terrible battle of Chapultepec, but sad to re- late, our mutual friend Col. Ransom fell at the head of the storming party mortally wounded, by a shot which struck him between the eyes. He was standing up in full sight of the enemy—erect as a cedar of Lebanon, asplendid target for the foe, when the shot atruck him. It was a dreadful sight to me to see him stretched out before me dead—end lin a moment, in the midst of the most terrible battle of the war, suddenly placed in com- mand of a regiment. The body of our dear friend, over whose affectionate lines to you, [ am making a record of his glorious fall, has been placed in # leaden coffin, and will be taken To all appearances with from 10 to with the regiment whe it goes. My hope and de- sire is that we may have an opportunity to return by next April. ‘Truly, your friend and obedient ervant. T. H. SEYMOUR. September 27th. P. $.—I have just got a chance to send this to you and one letter home. By the kindness of the British consul. Toan send this to Havans, and I hope from thence it will go safe to Hartford We had to inter the remains of the Colonel. | ad- dressed a note to the British consul. and obtained per- mission to place his body in the British burying ground, where it would be safe from the hands of ruthless Mexi cans. I commanded the escort at the funeral. Gene- rals Worth, Pleroe, and large number of offcers were present. AFFAIRS WITH GEN. WOOL’S ARMY. {From the N. O. Pioayune, Oct. 19.} The U. 8. steamer Telegraph, Capt. Wilson, arrived on Sunday from the Brazos, having sailed on the 12th inst. Coil. Hays was then at the Brazos with one com- pany of his battalion. He expected to leave for Vera Cruz in aday or two inthe James L. Day. From Matamoras the only news of interest is the so- verity with which the ony fever is prevailing there We have by this arrival a verbal confirmation of the news that Gen. Taylor willestablish his headquarters at Matamoras by the 16th of November. We have received the following letters from our cor- respondent at Gen. Wool’ When I last wrote you we were in an agony of suspense to hear from Mexico, expecting every hour news that “grim visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front,’? but on Wednesday night “s change came o'er the spirit of our dream,” wrought by late news from the city of Mexico via Parras. It was to the effect that the armis- tice had been broken off and hostilities resumed ; that Gen Soott had attacked Santa Anna in position outside the city on the 8th, 9th and 10th of Soptember, with se- vere loss on both sides, and fallen back a short distance for supplies and amunition, The lo«s on the sidy of the Mexicans was stated at fifteen hundred, and ours they could not estimate, but it was supposed tobe very heavy, as our troops were sald to have fought upon an open plain, while the Mexicans were behind breastworks. When the news was received at Parrason the 20th, some of the inhabitants, considering that Gen Scott had been repulsed, indulged in # regular jollification, and at Patos they rang their church bells till all was blue again. On the strength of the news the canaille of Parras, excited by the fumes of bad brandy and the thoughts of a Mexi- oan victory, and incited by the emisaries of El Senor Go- bernador Aguirre, repaired to the house of Mr Lane, en American mercbant of that place, assaulted it and also stoned Dr. MoManus, a resident there. and committed other outrages for which they ought to “ suffer some.” ‘This news, us you may well suppose, caused great excit: mont here, but t re many who would not belie joon, the 23d, two gentlemen ar- rived from San Luis Potosi, confirming the report of the termination of the armistice and the resumption of hos- tilities, They also brought a pamphlet, published in the city of Mexico, containing all the proceedings rela- tive to the armistice and nogotiation,with the propos. tions on our side and upon the part of the Mexicans, and also the letter of Gen. Scott, dated the 6th of August, informing Sauta Anna that unless he received apoiegy and satisfactory reparation for the violation of three ar- ticles of the armistice on the part of the Mex:ocns,before 12 o'clock the next ould consider the armis- tice at anend. Santa reply, under date of the 7th, was also given and was quite as clever a document as any he ever penned—it was Sante Anns all over. These documents Kendall has probably sent yon Wo are ali filled with speculations here as to what is to be done with this column; but the general impres- sion is that whether General Scott is successful in taking the city or not, this line will be abandoned to Mata- moras, and a garrison maintained there, at Fort Brown, the mouth of the Rio Grande, and at Brazos Santiago, and the residue of the troops despatched round to Vera Cruz, They might be much better employed there than here—there they ean be of service, here of none whatever. No one supposes for one single instant that the Mexican army, or any ion of it will advance in this direction; and if they they have nothing to gain. Sra gain ony vest the country this side of the Grande, y should six thousand good troops be kept here in idleness, to maintain’what we do not want? Either send them through by San Luis, which every one would prefer, or send them round. The interfor route would be the most expeditious, least expensiveand curest; and the “ great desert’? bugbear, which has so terrified the good people of the United Staten, is entirely exploded. Ail travellers from San Luis to this place, represent that there would be no ditticulty atall.especially by the Zacatecas route, and Very little hard marching. ‘he order to march either way would be received with the most unalloyed satis- faotion by every man in the entire column. I ree the Union again announces that if peace is not made before General Soott enters the olty,the war will be prose- cuted“ with the utmost vigor.” It is quite time. Burwa Vista, Sept. 26, 1947. While Gen, Wool was engaged in the investigation of the murder of Dewitt. the priva ein Captain Meer’s company of volunteers, much excitement was produced bythe commission of another murder on Wednesday, and which js still on the tapis. Two men attached to the quartermaster’s department. named Raynes, from Kentucky, nnd Patterson, from Illinois, one @ blackamith and the other a wheelwright, had been in the habit of meeting a party of Mexicans near a rancho about half a mile from camp and gambling with them at monte. On Wed: they left their quarters to ment thelr Mexioan da, but not coming home at night, searoh waa made for them the next morning, and their murdered bodies were found in a ditch. partially buried, and near them evidences that they had been playin taken by General arrested and properly punished In the mean time, at night on the 23d inst.. a report was reosived mt head- quarters that an armed body of men from the different camps, to the number of ab ut sixty, were proceeding in the direction of the ranchos near the camp, as it was supposed, with the intention of revenging the murder of Raynes and Patterson. ‘The general immediately ordered out his body guard of dragoons, and directed de-camp, Capt. Chapman, to repair to the ranchos, and prevent any outrages, and cause all persons found there to be arrested and brought to the provost guard. ‘The dragoons and Capteins Deas’s and Sherman's companies of light artillery were also ordered out, and the same di- rectivn given. ‘In less than twenty minutes about three hundred men were in the saddle and after the mob, but they could find no traces of them. Hearing the tramp of horses, they probably dispersed, and seoreted them- selves in the extensive corn fields in the neighborhood. Itwasa bright moonlight night, and we had a fine gal- lop of it, if nothing more, I can'assure you that the ap- pearance of so many armed mounted men. with their glittering sabres dangling by their sides, in this wild and romantic country, was a beautiful aight. In every di- rection, one could see squads of men emerging from some corn field, dashing down a deep deacent or gallop- ing through the chaparral; gallopping into a rancho and scattering in all directions to detect any loiterers, er Iking their horser up from some deep dark arroyo. Returning from our fruitless hunt, we had to cross & very deep ravine, full a hundred feet deep, and two or threo hundred across, at the bottom of which a small stream of water was trickling along A circuitous de- cent, only wide enough for one horse, and ascent on the opposite side of @ similar character, was the only means of crossing; and the command. Deas’s company, all mounted, had to march by files. When in the bottom of the dark and gloomy arroyo and ascending on the other side, the greater portion of the command were high up on the edge of the opposite bank, and the effect of the moving figures against the clear blue sky was very beautiful. The light artillery batteries of Capte, Deas and Sherman are both in excellent order and very efficient troops. ‘They are indefatiably drilled both as light artillery and dragoons, and their efficiency ts of course thereby increased. The dragoons are alao in ex. cellent trim and well mounted. Toreturn tothe murer of the two men:—By untiring perseverance three Mex!- cans have been arrested, about whose guilt there in no doubt. One of the rascals, doubtless upon the principle that misery likes company, peaobed on his comrades A military commission, composed of Major T. Houzard, quarter-master. Capt Rucker, of the Dragoons, Capt. Harper. of the Virginia regiment, Capt Napier, assistant uarter-master, and Lt Benham, Engineer Corps, with jeut. Franklin, of the topographical engineers, as re- corder, have been sitting to-day If they find their pri- soners guilty, they will be hung to a dead certainty, and avery excellent effect ft will have upon the Mo community. One of the poor devils, a biack-leg, very handsomely dressed, han his legs connected together by an ‘ankle-chai short, has just passed my tent.

The commission will to-morrow, and I suppose settle the business Capt. James H. Carleton, of the lst dragoons, now act- ing us inspecter-general to Gen. Wool, received orders from Weshington to day to join his company (K) on the other line. Capt. P. H. Thompson, who left bere for Vera Cruz, in cowpany with Gen. Cushing, to join his own company, is assigned by the same order to command the squadron of dragoons here, THE HEROES OF RHE WaR. [From the Baltimore Sun, Oct 26 Captain James L. 0. Donaldson, of the let Bela of Artillery, who has distinguished himself in Mexico, is a vative of Baltimore, and of one of the oldest and most patriot. famille in the State. The old27th Regiment of Maryland militia will readily associate his name with that of his father, who so gallantly fell at North Point— a. name which encircles the crowning cap of our Battle Mooument. Capt. Donaldson is a graduate of West Point, and served with the 4th regiment of artillery dur- ing the Fiorida war. From the 4th artillery he wi transferred to the Ist artillery, and during the excite- ment on the northeastern houndary he commanded the advance company on the frontier. He was rewards selected to run the boundry line as # compliment for valuable information furnished by him to the War De- partment. At the commencement of the war with Mexi- 00, Capt Donaldson was stationed at Pensacola, and was, with his company, the first to reach Gen. Tayior in his supposed critical position at Matamoras. Hoe then pro- ceeded with Gen. Taylor in his onward march, and highly distinguished himself at the storming of Monterey —#0 much 80 as torecelve a brevet from the government, and Gen, Wool made him pliment as decided as that of a brevet appointment.— The battle fieldof Buena Vista was the next scene of Capt. Donaldson’s gallantry, and General Minon will forever recellect the shell and cannister scattered by him among his renks with his 24-pounder howitaers, Capt. Shriver, to whom much credit is awarded, served under him in this great engagement. He still remains with General Wool as hi: ief commissary, but will doubtless join his company at an early day, with Gen, Scott, in the city of Mexico, and if occasion should again oecur, will add additional honors to the name he bears, as well as to the city of his nativity. (From the Boston Herald } Col. Martin Scott! Shall we relate his tabulous feats? We will; but witheut expecting to be believed. We never believed them possible ourselves, till our own eyes bebeld them, on an occasion when we had taunted him into proving that possible which we had denied and de- rided as an impossibility, a sheer romauce. We saw him throw two potatoes into'the wir and bore them both in the air with asingle bullet. Weeaws’~ do this with both rifle and pistol We saw him take wn fi 1. lows succestively on the wing with his rifle, with single ball. Wesaw him plant four successive balls in the centre, 60 closely that but one hole could have been de- tected: At the fifth shot, his rifle hung fire. Neverthe. leas, the half the diameter of the ball was within the hols. We saw him shoot at living objects at least « thousand times, but never saw him draw trigger in vain, never knew his bullet to vary a hair's breadth from the spot where he had previously said he would place it Gen.

O. Delia, 19th inst. in Mexico, Orrice, Oot. 27, 1847, To the Hon Morus Franxuiy, President Board of Aldermen. Sir—The recent intelligence from the seat of war brings to us the gratifying assurance that the arms of the American troops have been, even against the most unparalleled odds, victorious, and that the flag of our country now floate in triumph over the capital of Mex: foo; it Seema to me fitting that some public testimonial should be afforded ot our sympathy with th gallant off- cere and soldiers who have, by their conduct in the bat- ties near the city of Mexico, covered themselves with glory, and won an (mperishable fame; and I, therefore, respectfully suggest the propriety of convening the Com- mon Ceuneil on some future day, to be designated by yourself, to take action on this subject. War in always to be deplored—it brings with it many aad and bitter as-ociations~—it carries mourning to the hearts of thousands; butno true American could read the accounts of the glorious victories achieved by our countrymen, without a glow of emotion and pride; no trus Amerionn, however he might deplore a war, would hesitate at any sacrifice to ensure iis prompt,honorable, and successful termination. Some tribute is especially due from the city of New York, the great commercial emporium of the Western world, Her sons have been permitted to share in thease glorious victories —she is called on to mourn some of the best and bravest of her izens—she deplores her Joss—she rejoices in their triumphs, and all her citizens, I feel well assured, would join in ‘any testimonial by which they might show that the honor of our common country is dear to all; that in the words of the lament- ed hero who gave bis life for that country, they say, with all sincerity, Our country, may she be always right—but right or wrong, our wont, ad Respectfally, M.

[From the New York Tribune, Oct. 97] Lovers of Peace! disciples of the Prince of Peace! the valleys and plains of a sister republic are smoking with human gore! their streams run red to the revolting seas. By crash of canon shot, and shower of grape, and rattle of musketry. and thrust of bayonet, many thou- | sands of pominal,Christians are immolating each other. ‘With courage in their hearts, execrations on their lips, and deadly weapons in their hands. thousands after thousands are falling into graves which are but furrows in the earth, if so much as that our times ss many writh horribly in keenest torture from wounds received in deadly fray—many of them uncared for,and exposed to every privation and want. These are your brethren. De you eare nothing for them ! and still the glare And ati the work of death goes on, of burning houses, the smoke of human gore, the groans ot the ith-stricken, the shrieks of slsughtered inno- cence, gO up unoeasingly to heaven. The voice of mourning begins to be heard in our cities and towns— the tears of the heart-broken widow, the desolate, desti- tute orphan,mingle with and poison the oup of our pros. perity; every breeze from the South bears tidings of woe to families before unsmitten. and the bulletins of vict and conquest are surpassed in len by the lists of our killed and wounded. All this [In the vic- torious, conquering United States—think, then, of the shrieks of inconsolable anguish which ascend from prostrate, hleeding Mexico; think how long these acenes have continued, and how wide is the field of con- flict, how numerous the victims, how dark is the shroud of defeat and disaster in which the brave men of that Republio lay them down to die! Why should we not have hearts to feel, even for them? ‘They, too, are our brethron—defending their native land as we, if it were assailed, would defend ours Shall we continue to butch- er them benause they cannot consent to surrender as muoh of their country, as many of their countrymen, to our dominion as our rulers choose to exact? Shame on the heatheniah, fiendish requisition! Lovers of peace! Christian electors of the State of New York! our appeal is to you! If you will but do your whole duty with reference our election at hand, the war, ita authors and its objects will be signally and ef- feotively rebuked, and its speedy termination well-nigh insured. At all events you will have done your best to arrest it. What say you, then? Shall business, or ease, or a stormy day of election, paralyze your efforts? Shall wholesale murder and pillage continue through another year in order that your nezt Tuesday's dinner may be eaten at pay the right temperature, or your bank-book show a few dollars more profit on the year’s business? Men of peace and of good will, let your votes and your efforts make answer! (From the London Times, Sept. 30 ] It had been anttol d that the accounts from t!

Bat the moment we arrivo at this point we are met by various political considerations, peculiar to the institu- tions of ths United States, which render the solution of the question extremely complicated. Mr. Polk under- took this war on his own account, and it has proved to be the principal affair of his Presidency, ‘The attrac- tions of military adventure and the pride of military success have iaduced the people of the United States to endorse his bills and to recruit his armies; ard we have accerdingly seen the Chief Magistrate of what was once the model of pacific governments, indulging himself in the reyal luxury of @ bloody war. All this may be of some temporary advantage to Mr. Polk and hisadhe- rente; but they must be well aware that advantages so dearly bought by the nation will prove fatal to those who have speculated in them unless the burdens of the war can be terminated with this campaign, and unless this campaign can be closed with an amount of success suffi- cient to screen the enormous injustice of the invasi In the present state of public opinion in the world, should have thought it extraordinary if the most of European sovereigns had dared to embark war; but that a man, temporarily invested with i ited power like that of the President of the United States, should, by his own will and ples: , have plunged his country into such s series of embarrass- ments, is, mithomt exseption, the most extraordinary event ‘which hae ever occurred in the history of any modern republic, The sequel will show whether the mero ‘prestige of military achievements ia knfMfiaient to overthrow all the principles on which the constitution of the United States is professed to be founded; and even in this sflair of the armistice and the alleged negotiation for ome , we shall be curious to learn how far General Scott nduct will be approved and Ro nn byrne Government, which no doubt anticipat ® more bril- Mant result from the march to Mexico. we City Intelige: Assemnty Nomivations.—The whigs of the Ist and , componing the first assembly district, met, and unanimously nominated the Hon.

Leonard, vs. the Manufacturers Insur- ance Company of Bi ction brought by tho plaintiffs on a policy of insurance for $12,000, ef. fected at the defendants office on the plaintiffs’ cotton factory, situate at New Windsor, in Orange county.— The original policy was effected in Suptember, 1845, through Mr. Bigelow,(the agent of the company) who re- sides in this city. When,Mr. Bigelow was applied to by plaintiffs, he required that the application should be in writing and accompanied with » survey of the property. This requirement was complied with; a set of printed question was then furnished by the company to the plaintiffs, which required a distinot answer to each ques- it 29ch question and the answer to it, would he turning point in thiscause, The follow- jon and answer :— constant watch kept on the building?” “A. A regular watch from time of starting until 10 o'clock at night ”” Upon th expiration of the original policy, it was re- newed through Mr Bigelow, by a verbal application through the plaintiffs’ agents in this city, who gave him ‘& description of the property. Mr Bigelow made a memo- randum in writing at the time, sent it to the aefendants and the policy was accordingly renewed and transmitted to the plaintiffs—the premiums having been first paid The building, with its contents, was consumed on the Oth or 10th of September, 1846, by fire, and the plaintiffs allege that the value of the whole of the property, including the building, was $94,000, and that it was insured for $22,000 only. The company defend this ac- tion, on the ground of misrepresenta tion in the answer to the 29th question. They contend that the true con- struotion of the auswer is, that plaintiffs were bound b: it to keep a watch until 10 o'clock P. M. the year round, whereas they only kept watch during the six winter months, or when the mill was running; that the answer having beon given to a distinot question, it must be ta- ken asa par? of the policy, and is equivalent to a condi- tion or warranty, which, ving been broken, they insist the policy is void.” The plaintiffs reply, that even if it were a misrepresentation, it is not a material one, aad did not increase the risk; and that it is only wh risk is increased by fraudulent misrepresentat policy is void. ‘They further insist, that the true coi struction of their answer is, (and is in accordance with the usage and custom of the neighboring m' watch is tobe kept during the winter months, ch time as the mill was running They further con- tend, and offered to give in evidence, that the premium paid by plaintiffs was the same as that paid by other mills in which no watch was kept, and which fact was known to the defendants. The cause is adjourned till to-morrow (this) morning. For plaintiffs, Messrs. B. F. Butler and Fanchar: for defendants, Mr. Bidwill.

Panx Tukatee —To night the Bishop troupe appear egain in the favorite opera of “Le Sonnambula,” which has been reccived heretofore with such marked approba- tion. The music of this opera is peculiarly adapted to the voices and styl« of the artiste who appear in it.— Madame Bishop bas thus far shown great taste and oa- pability in the performance of all the duties which hat devolved upon her in her present undertaking. After the performance of “La Sonnambula,”’ the petit comedy of “Forty and Fifty” will be enacted. The farce over, Mad’e B. will appear for the last time in the grand soenn and cavatina from Tancredi, “O Patria, Di Tanti Pal- peti,” which sbe will sing in costume. An attendence at the theatre will be well repaid in seeing and hearing this last choice piece. It has been the admiration of all who have heretofore witnessed it. Bowray Tueatne.—The tragedy of “ Virginius” was performed last night a+ this theatre, before # mumerous gathering, Mr. Marshall sustaining the character of Vir- ginius with his usual ability. The play was well cast, well played, and well received. To-night » splendid Dill, filled with varied and almost Irresistible attractions, is offered, being for the benefit of Mr. W. H. Marshall, who makes his first appeal at this theatre to the public. The pieoes selected for the evening's entertainment are of an interesting character, which, in connection with the, fact that a talented an» worthy actor lays especial claim upon his friends and the public, by an announce- mént of this kind, are certainly inducements sufflcient W& give a lively appearance to the house on the occasion. A new drama, written expressly for Mr. Marshall, em- bracing many interesting historical incidents, called “ Captain Kyd, or the Witch of Hell Gate,” will be pro- duced tor the first time to-night. Shakspeare’s petite comedy of “Taming the Shrew,” will be performed, in which Mr. Marshall will represent the character of Petruchio. The farce of a Ghost in Spite of Himself,’ anda Highland fing, embrace the programme of the evening's amusements. CnatHam Tusatae.—The patrons of this favorite lit- tle house are to be furnished with exoellent entertain- ment thisevening.

Sincvs—Bowrny Anriuiritearns.—Dan Rios, the great Shakeperian clown, isdrawiog houses commensu- rate with bis fame, at the circus, and they are never disappointed in their expectations, for on dropping in there last night whilst he was letting off some of his jovialitivs, we found the audience in a perfect rear of delight. ‘The faot is, Dan Rice is # great clown, and the atrons of the circus know it, and thus crowd to hear Bim while they caa,as he has but three more evenings to perform; his winter engagements being such as te posi- Lively compel him to leave us after this week. In eddi- tion to his performances as clown, num rous scenes of horsemanship will be given, as also ground and lofty tumbling by all the principal vaulters and tumblers in the Union; gymnastics by Brewer, Ethiopian songs, and finally that inimitable burlesque of “ Don Quixote,’’ which has met with such applause. We have no dou! the house will be full, as usual. Ermiorian Serenavens.—To-night we have a grand bill at Palmo’s, when the Ethiopians will put forth some of their very best songs of all kinds, comic and senti- mental, There is no doubt whatever that their popula- rity is great, and deservedly so. The famous phantom chorus, from the “ Sommambula,” which is given by them with such accuracy, is well worth the price of ad- mission to the whole. ‘Though the words are burlesque, the music is by no means #0; it is perfect, and equal to many concerted pieces that we have heard in a opera. It will be sung to-night, with many other favor- ites. Curisty’s Misetrecs, at Mecdanios’ Hatt.—This popular band of melodists, under the direction of Col. Christy, are doing really an immense business. They are nightly crowded to overflowing with fashionable au- dienees. Mr. Prince, the tamberinist, isa most extra- ordinary performer; the bone player and violinist are troly great; in fact,as «band, in their peculiac line, they are inimitable, and well deserve thelr great success. Mr. Demrster’s Batrap Soinne.—This entertain- ment, which was given at the Tabernacle last evening, was attended by a large but quite select audience. Mr. Dempster certainly exceis in balled singing, a kind of vooal music, by the way, which it is to be hoped will not be neglected now that a liberal is ox. tended towards Italian performances. The sweet ems of Burns, Moore, T.
