Tre Boston TeLecrapu.— In aonsequence of the injury to the section of this line between this city and Stamford, by the falling of several trees upon the wire, during the s¢ vere gale on Monday night, all communicatién with Bos- ton was suspended yesterday, an¢l the foreign news by the steamer could not be sent forward. Mr. Foss, the chief operator on the line, made every effort to repair the damage in time to get the newsthrough, but it was so serious that it was impossible. so extensive, that failure is entirely out of the question; and in spite of the disaster to the lightning line, we present the news to our readers in this day’s paper in full. News from Europe, By the arrival of the steamship Acadia, at days later than those received by the previous arrival at this port. [a consequence of a severe snow storm, the steamer anchored below Boston, and was boarded by our special agent, and the news despatched to this city by a special messen- ger over the Springfield and New Haven rail- road Having received full files of English pa- pers, we have devoted a large part of our paper to the news. In a financial and commercial point of view the intelligence is highly tavorable and interest- much. Quotations for cotton were firm, and there had been no particular change in prices for breadstuffs. ness in the money market, there having been no reduction in the rate of interest, or any important land, notwithstanding the additions to the sup- ply of bullion and the general improvement in the condition of the bank.

This speech has been published in various quarters, and commented upon with tremendous eulogies, representing Mr. Webster as possessing in his own mind, nearly four-fifths, and a quarter over, ot all the intellect of the present age. | Mr. Webster is, undoubtedly, one of the great lights of the age—a sort of asun toa solar sys- tem in society, with a number of small lights revolving around him, and around him, and around him. He is so considered in this coun- try, in Europe, and throughout the civilized world, up to the edge of the moon’s atmosphere. | But the great and manifold light of his mind is limited to certain distinct points, certain lumi- nous spots, without embracing a whole eternity of brilliancy, comprehending the past, the pre- sent, and the future, from the Silurian era down to the last day. He is, essentially, « lawyer—an animal which marks the oolitic formation—full of gigantic flying reptiles. He possesses wonderful | power of analysis. He can spread himself out, under the impulse of « fee of a thousand dollars, over a vatiety of subjects that appear to the pub- jie mind misshapen and confused. He can col- Ject these confused facts, assort them, label them, fix them, shake them, end put them up in such a shape as to have the appearance of philo- sophy, reason, truth, and woiversal light and li- berty, His mind, in its original state, was un- doubtedly great and powerful, and intended for the year 2746; butit hasbeen pared down by | pressing necessity—by professional shacklee—by | Boston notions, so that it is now nothing but | that of a lawyer, who, on receiving a check for a certain amount, gives his reasons and shapes his arguments, to satisfy thoee who employ him— and that is all, | | | | the Dorr rebellion, in this comprehensive view, | we find that its principal poinis and salient prin- | ciples are based on « fallacy, and in denial ot every principle of popular sovereignty which he affeets to suppor. The principles on which Mr. Webster relies, contain ihe germe of those privileges which hove, in former eyes, led to the exclusive possession of power by the kings, lords, priests, or emperors. From men acting on the same reasoning which he hes put for- ward in this case, the feudal system arose among the Anglo-Saxons and the Germans, who were originally « free people, but who became shack ‘ed by forme of law, eooumulated in the lapse in which he explained and illustrated his views | Now, looking at Mr. Webster's argument on | eee of a few eenturies, until they ended in despot- ism itself. Lawyers’ arguments and lawyers’ rea- song lead to exclusiveness and despotism. The Anglo-Saxons and the original Germans were, at the first, a free people. They were bound by no forms but those of the will and common sense of the community, properly ascertained and au- thenticated. In process of time, however, some of those forms became law, and they accumu- lated, in the course of ages, until they resulted in the feudal system, and, ultimately, in the des- potism of the present age, in certain parts of Europe. re Now, the theory of American liberty and law is altogether in an opposite direction. The American revolution was a rebellion—a popular rebellion—and nothing else, according to all the interpretations of English, Anglo-Saxon, or Webster law. The French revolution was also a rebellion ; yet who will deny that both these great outbursts of the people were founded on the right of man to self-government? We do notknow the particular facts of the Dorr rebellion in Rhode Island, intimately, nor is it necessary to dive into the details to know that the argument of Mr. Webster is founded on part ef the same argu- ments which the tories in the time of the American revolution put forth against that great event, and which the supporters of exclusive privileges in the despotic countries of Europe, yet use with force and effect, to keep the human race in chains and bondage to kings and lords. If lawyers’ minds and lawyers’ arguments be permitted to control public events in this coun- try, for two centuries to come, we have no doubt that American liberty, which was estab- lished by the revolution of ’76, will be almost annihilated at the end of afew hundred years. Nothing but the people and the press, and gene- ral education, can preserve a great republic from running into privileges, exclusiveness, and des- potism. Any single profession, be it the military, the clergy, or the lawyers, that attains the as- cendancy, in any community, will always lead to the same results. Past history has proved, again and again, to the world, that the tendency of the {clergy, the military, and the lawyers, as classes of society, is hostile to public and general liberty, and no one can deny the gene- ral fact. In this country the clergy are placed in their natural position. Human rights and li- berty are most in danger, in these United States, from the profession of arms and the profession of the law. The republic of Rome lost her prin- ciples by soldiers and lawyers. Mark that, good people. Turarees anp Puptic AmusemEeNTs.—There this city, including theatres and every species of exhibition, to say nothing of public balls and other places, where you can procure a ticket at the door. The Bowery, the Chatham, the Park, the Broadway, the Olympic, are all doing, more or less, a prosperous business. The legitimate drama, however, does not seem Melo-drama, spectacle, ex- hibition, horses, and humbug, seem to please the public much better than the old classic drama, including Shakespeare and Sheridan, who are far behind the age. Some attempt is made at the Broadway to revive the legitimate drama; but there seems to be no sympathy with it at all, at the present day. A new spirit seems to have ari- sen, in certain quarters, favorable to native pro- ductions, especially those formed on incidents in the Mexican war. They take remarkably well, principally at the Bowery theatre. The Italian Opera is, of course, well attended when good singing and good music are brought for- ward. But one of the most curious phases in public amusements that has struck us at this time, is the progress of exhibiting the almost naked figures of men and women, under the designa- tion of model artists, holy groups, and sacred figures, taken from the scriptures, and the old and new testament. It is only a few months since the first of these exhibitions was opened to a New York audience. They seem to have sprung up soon after the arrival of Powers’ sta- tae of the Greek Slave here. That was looked upon by all classes of society as a work of art; but the mass of our community have no particular predilection for cold marble. It was soon discover- ed that the exhibition of living men and women,in a semi-transparent drapery, looking like nudity, always under the name of model artists, or sculp- tural groups, take remarkably well. According- ly, from the first week the model artists were exhibited, they have increased to such a degree that youcan view them in almost every street and lane, in any low grog shop, at six cents a sight. They are rapidly degenerating from the | taste and propriety which characterised them the United States Supreme Court—Popular Sovereignty and Constitus | | | | | | | | {of absurdity and critical acumen, of learning | and lumbering, that they seem to be more a sort | | | | | | | | thinks the audien in Palmo’s or Pinteux’s, and have, at last, got so low, in some of the by-streets, as{three, four, or five cents, thereby inviting newsboys, loafers, and the veriest ragamuffins about town, to see them. We remember the rise, progress, and fall of masquerading, as an amusement. The exhibi- tionof semi-naked figures as models of art, seems to be running the same course; and we should not be surprised to see the necessity of the legis- lature passing a law regulating such exhibitions. In some of the out-of-the-way streets and lanes, these exhibitions are really too bad, and their further tolerance in our city would be a dis- grace. * ‘Tur Orera.—The opera of “Romeo and Juliet” does not seem to take. The house, on the se- cond representation, was quite thin, and the ap- plause cold, formal and badly put in. Madame | Patti is acknowledged on all hands to have been a good artist—very chaste and correct. But she has passed her hey-day, and is nolonger what she has been. Mlle. Barilli has been pronounced beautiful, and possesses « good deal of grace and action; but as a vocalist, is by no means correct, finished, or pleasing. Signor Rosi seems to be the artist who carries off the most praise from the skilful and knowing; but on the whole, “Romeo and Juliet” is tame, and lags far be- hind some of the preceding operas. By the by, the musical criucisms of some of the journals are quite amusing, more especial- ly those of the Courrier des Etats Unis. In some of the articles that appear in that delectable paper concerning the opera, there ia such good nature, and amiable combinations of sense and silliness, of half-formed literary articles, than real musi- cal critiques. One very sensible remark made in these critiques, must strike every person as rather correct, viz: that the refined audience of the Astor Place Opera applaud seldom when ap- | plause is deserved, and fail to condemn whea condemnation is merited. In fact, the critic better, and be better judges, of a mere English ballad, than they would be of the finished musi- cal compositions called Italian operas. There { ‘ | is more truth than poetry in this remark; and | the following advertisement 19 proper:— ¥.—A few young gentlemen, with real moustaches, and also some old boys, with rp dyed moustaches, who can offfsiate as cloquere at the Italian Opera.
