By a proclamation, or pronunciamento, issued by His Excellency, John Young, Governor of this State, and another issued by Wm. F. Havemeyerr Governor of this City, the people of both are re- commended to close their places of business, and observe this day, the twenty-third day of Novem ber, asa day of thanksgiving for all the bleasings which have been showered upon us during the year past. The following isthe proclamation, or pronuncia- mento, issued by the Governor of the State :— PROCLAMATION. By Joun Youra, Governor of the State of New York. The year which will soon be added to tho past, has eminently auspicious. healthy and enduring prosperity. attendant evils, has passed away, and Pe: able and welcome. bas been restored. education, and allthe advantages of intellectual pro- e been enjoyed by us in an eminent de- nd the future is full of hops and promise, Ae’ Christian people, we are edmonished that these | blessings are the gifts of a beneficent God ; and while we thus rejoice in His bounty, we should not forget the homage due from gratefal bearts. I, therefore, respectfully recommend to the le of this State to set apart Thuraday, the twenty-third day of November next, to be observed as a day of Publio Thankegiving to Almighty God ; and that with such thanksgiving, be mingled prayer to Him who helds in His band the destinies of nations, for the continuance of thore blessings which been and are so abun- dantly showered upon us.

In addition to the numerous ard abun- dant causes of thankfulness we heve in common with them, and conspicuous among which is the restoration l relations between our own and a sister re- public, we have enjoyed peculiar blessings in our ex- emption during the year past from epidemic diseases, ‘and most of the calamities which incident to our socisl condition : it in. therefore, especially fit that we should assemble together and offer up the expression of our gratitude to the Divine Benificence for mercies by which we have been thus distinguished. Given x my hand and seal, at the Mayor's office, in the city of New York, this 20th di (L.8] of November. in the year of our Lord, thousand, eight hundred and forty-eight. W. F, HAVEMEYER, Mayor. It 1s a commendable custom, this giving thanks, and oneeminently worthy of being followed by a Christian people, and by none more especially than the people of free, liberal, and republican America; for, of all of God’s creatures on the face of the earth, they are pre-eminently blessed with all that is needed for their temporal welfare and happiness. The right of worshipping our Creator im any way which we deem best, we enjoy in the fullest perfection; our institutions are the wonder and admiration of the world, our soil and climate are unequalled for their variety and productive ness. While millions and millions of the human race, in less favored lands, are either suffering the privations of hunger or groaning under the op pressions of the tyrant, or both, the people of ths favored land enjoy civil and religious liberty in the fullest sense of the term. Nor should we while returning “thanks this day for the manifold blessings which we as a people enjoy,” be unmind ful of the debt of gratitude that we owe to thos: great and gallant spirits who, in “the times which tried men’s souls,” freely spilt their blood, and laid down their lives, as a sacrifice on the altar of their country’s liberty. The obligations we are under tothem can never be repaid. A handfa; of men, emall in number, but great in spirit, wrest ed, sword in hand, the liberties that their descen. dauts enjoy, from a proud, hanghty, oppres. sive, and most poweriul nation; not, however, be- fore thousands fell martyrs to the cause ia which they engaged, or until the fair fields of their coun- try were watered with their blood, and transmitted them to us in all their purity, The following named Stateshave held, or will celebrate thanksgiving at the dates set after them.

The price of passage in these steam- ere is set down as annexed. The Falcon isthe first, and will touch at the places mentioned on her two years since New York was not interested to the amount of one dollar in Ocean Steam Navi- gation, although tor more than a quarter of a cen- tury her sailing ships, the admiration of every country, might be met with in scores in the re- motest quarters of the earth; yet so little attention was given to this great feature of commerce, that, until within a short time, the project of applying steam to our sea-going vessels was scarcely thought of, except, indeed, by one or two persons who are now engaged 1n an undertaking that will ere long astonish the world, and which promises, 10 the fu- ture, a rich reward for their enterprise and spirit. New York has progressed with sure and rapid strides in science, literature, religion, and ia every thing great and useful emanating fromthe mind of man; but in no one branch of her industry 18 this spint shown so clearly asin the recent estab- lishment and progress of her ocean steamers. Two yearsand ahalf have scarcely passed since the experiment was made, in this city, of propel- ling ocean ships by steam ; and now that the re- sult of that individual attempt has proved so profitable to the projectors, and so creditable to the country, a fleet of the fineststeamers, involving acapital of more than ten millions of dollars, bind the London of the West to the busy cities of the Old World, as well as to the distant shores of the Pacific. By the aid of steam, the two oceans Meet, in a short time, be held tributary to our commeiw and subject to the flag of the United | States. But to rival the Pewerful and well organized English lines to this city end to the West In- dies, 18 a work of some maguimde, and will call into action the powers of the most experienced and energetic engaged in the enterprise we have just alluded to, and unless great judgment 18 exercised in the selection of officers, from the Executive down, and in the internal arrangements of the ships, the thing cannot be® accomplished. An officer of a steamship, such as are inthe Bremen, Savannah, Charleston and New Orleans trade, holds an honorable and responsible position. They should be men whose education and manners would give character to the vessel or line to which line they belong, and whose intercourse with socie- ty, whether at sea or onshore, should be marked with a proper degree of self respect and dignity of charac- ter. This suggestion may appear, to many, irrele- vant and out of place, but the effects of an ill officered ship are so well understood by the travelling people as to require no explanation further than is here given. A person cannot assume to be an officer on board of an English steamer, unless he 1s ina measure quali- fied in an intellectual point of view as well as in his ability to work or navigate a ship. Thisis a feature which has worked admirably since its adoption in their service, and has done much to advance the credit of their steamers for punctu- ality, respectability, and order. The lines belonging to New York, now in ope- ration, plying to and from foreign and coastwise porte, reach five in number, and employ twelve steamers, which in the course of a year or less will be increased to twenty-five or more. These are yet in their infancy, but from the progress they are making, and the encouragement they have so far received from the public, and bya judicious course of management, they will soon attain a footing as firm as any new in existence} The great commercial emporium of the United States is at present connected by steamships with Liverpool, Southampton, Bremen, Havre, Chagres, Havana, Bermuda, Savannah, Charleston, and many ports on the Pacific, and when communica- tion 1s effected through the Isthmus of Panama by railroad or canal, and all the advantages of this route to China become demonstrated by solid practical benefits thereby conferred upon her, New York will stand, in point of facilities offered to commerce, the most favored city inthe world. The project of running a railroad over the thirty the Pacific, and Chagres river on the Atlantic has been ard is still held the most feasible of any yet proposed, and now that we have steamers in ope- Tation connecting these points, and consequent- ly the almost interminable shore of the Pa- cifie, with New York, a grand effort should be made to effect this sure and expeditious commu- nication without delay. With a road across the Isthmus, 98 18 now agitated by some of the Eurepean powers, the Pacific would be brought, with our present arrangements, within fifteen or sixteen days of this city, and, by connecting with Messrs. Howland and Aspinwall’s steam- ers, a safe and comfortable passage to Oregon would occupy but about thirty days. The greatest proof of the importance of this route, and the advantages it offers in the way of commerce, thatcan be adduced, is the fact that | the British West India Mail Company, at a recent meeting of the directors, with a view of facili- | tating the transit of money from the other side of | America across the Isthmus of Panama, (which | money paid freight to this company on being | brought to Europe.) had agreed to advance, for | the purpose of improving the road, the sum of eighteen thousand dollars, and would, in the course of time, advance another three thousand dollars to maintain the road in a passable state. The object of the directors in entering into this agreement was to further the interests of the com- pany, which they, as well as their government, are ever ready to do, in the shortest possible notice. If a road here proposed is of so much mo- ment to the English people, how much more must it be to the commerce of the United States ? Our settlements in California and Oregon are growing fast in strength; emigration to both sec- tions cf our territory beyond the Rocky Moun- tains, 1s prosperous and steady, and only wants a helping hand from government to accelerate the tide of moving population which annually flows from Europe and the North, to California and the vast praines of the West. Government should do something to render these regions, where so many promote the general interest of the countrv. So far, private enterprise has done much to | effect this object; in fact nearly all that has been done, is on individual accounts, Our advertising columns within the last few months shows a large accession to the already great travelling facilities this city enjoys above our neighbors. New lines, composed of fine fast | steamers have been formed to run in every direc- tioa, offering to travellers bound to the Old or New World the convemences and comforts of home, with the speed and safety of the famed Hudson River boats. These lines have many good prin- ciples and are pretty well organized. Their steam- ers have accomplished commanders, and are punctual in their hour of departure, so that a per- son can count with certainty upon the moment he may start for any port between New York and Cape Ioin, to Oregon, or to any of the cities of Europe. The greatest of these 1m importance 1s the Pacific compeny which run three fine steamers from Pa- Dama down to San Francisco, and intend to ex- tend their eourse to the mouth of the Oregon river. These veesels are under contact with the govern- ment for the transportation of the mails between the above points. The charges made for passage are, according to the following table— From Paname to Realejo, 700 mies, in state rooms. $04 “ Acapulco, 1,500 miles, San Blas or Maratian, 2,000 miles, San Diego, 3,000 miles, Ban Francisco, 3.600 yt wee 250 There “are diflerent grades or classes of passen- gers which come much lower, and possibly suit he generality of those travelling on the coast.

To these may be added the Charleston Com" pany—the first ocean line, by the way, established in this city, by Messrs. Spoflord Tilleston, & Co., who have now running two fine steamers, torming aweeklycommunication, which, tor regularity and speed are not surpassed here orelsewhere. Their field 18 extended to Havina by means of an ar- rangement with the steamer Isabel, which leaves Charleston on the arrival of the vessels trom New York. The passage in this line 1s the uniform sum of $25, and the day of departure set down fer turday of each week. The New Orleans and Havana line established by Messrs. J. Howard & Son, of which theCrescent City is the pioneer, leaves this city once a monrth, until the steamer now building shall be added, when a semi-monthly conveyance will go into operation. First class passengers are charged, to New Orleans $75; to Havana, $60. Next in order comes the Savannah line, consist- ing of two steamers, plying weekly. They are punctual in their movements and moderate in their charges for passage, being but $25, firet class. F The Bnitish West India Mail Company’s boat, which leaves Bermuda on the 8th of each month, brings up the number engaged upon this continent. She leaves here generally on the 12th, and touch- es at all the British West India Islands. In addition to these, we have a monthly mail to Bremen au.d Southampton, by the Ocean Steam Navigation Company’s ships, which leave on the 20th, and a semi-monthly line by the Cunard ves- sels to Liverpool, and also a connection with Havre, by Captain Marshall’s ship United States. We have spoken of those only in actual service. Many more, now in course of construction, will swell the number, in one year, to nearly double those we have enumerated. From New Orlea Do. PostaL ARRANGEMENTS iN Fraxce.—We find nour files of French papers the following article which 1s very interesting, as well for this country as it has been for Frauce :— The public will understand that from the let of Ja- nuary, 1849, the fermer postage of letters, regulated according to distance, will be entirely reformed. will be replaced by the charge of four cents for each letter, which will not weigh more than seven-eighths of an ounce, and forwarded to any part of the dominion of the French republio, including Corsi d Algeria. Above the weight ef seven-eighths of an ounce to an ounce and seven-eighths, the postage of letters will be eight cents. Above an ounce and seven-eighths to twelve ounces and a half, the postage is invariably regulated at tweu- ty cents (1 franc). The letters and bundles which would weigh more than twelve ounces and a half will be charged with an additional postage of twenty cents before twelve ands half ounces, or fraction of that weight. ‘The two cents of sea transit, which are now applied to the letters forwarded to Corsica and Algeria, is abo- lished. Theee letters will not pay more than those cir- culating through France. The postage of letters. directed to the membora of the army and navy, actually serving thoir country, which was ees five cents, is reduced to four cents ; and there lettors are, for the future, considered as those forwarded by the public. teraye | will be changed as regards the present postage of letters forwarded from one part of a city or district to another. Letters stated, or stamped, as containing things, papers or money, will pey 8 double pot eight cents fore single letter through Frauce and its dominions. After the above arrangements, the ordinance enters into detail for the institution of printed stamps of several prices, which willbe pasted upon the letters, as it is done in England and in this country. 4 These stamps will be only soldat the post office, and by the agents and facteurs (bearers) of the ad. ministration. We are glad to see that our sister republic has already berrowed from England a system which we should have also adopted long since. It is to be hoped that the successor to Cave John- son will look deeply into this matter, Tur Court or Sessions, AND THE?KERPER OF tux Penitentiary.—By the proceédings of the Court of Sessions, published in another column, it will be seen that the Judges of the Court of Ses- sions, and the District Attorney, have felt them- selves called upon to express their disapprobation, ina public manner, of the conduct of the keepers of the Penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island. They complain that their labors are rendered almost nugatory in certain instances, by the comforts aflorded to certain prisoners of wealth and influ. ence, who are sent to the Penitentiary to suffer the punishment due to violated law. The matter has now got to undergo a legal investigation, as it would seem, by the Recorder’s expressed determi- Nation to present the subject to the next Grand Jury. Tux Sreamer Amenica left her dock, at Jersey city, at 12 o’clock yesterday, for Halifax and Lir verpool. She has on board 48 passengers for the latter place, and five for the former.

From Yucatan.—We learp some interesting articulars as to the state of affairs in Yucatan, om & passenger who arrived here yesterday in the brig Harriet, from Sisal. He inf: rms us that Bacelar, whio! is still held by the Indians, contains the treasure taken from the whites, that the eon is small,and that the town can beapproached by sea, without suspicion. The two companies of volunteers which left here some weeks since, under command of Colonel White, left Merida on the let instant for the Interior, and took with them a piece of artillery. Colonel White, Major MeDowall,and Captain Kelly returned here in the Harriet, to recruit the number of men required to fill up the regiment, which the Colonel is empowered by the Mexica: vernment toraiee. A remdexvous ior that purpose, we learn, will be opened forthwith. Trade is represented as being very dull in all the orts, as wellas in the interior of Yucatan.

Mr. Macready is a very great actor— it is useless to deny it. Sois Mr. Forrest. Genius is of no country ; and it Mr. Macready could de- scend, at home, to such conduct as is attributed to him, it furnishes us no reason why we should, here, follow his example. (From the Philadelphia Enquirer, Nov. 22.] We are sorry to be compelled to state that a few rsons disgraced themselves on Monday evening last, atthe Arch Street Theatre, by hissing, yell- ing, and making other disagreeab!e noises, during the performance of Mr. Macready. The house was crowded from pit to dome, and nineteen- twentieths of the audience were disposed to act with the most liberal courtesy towards the emi- nent tragedian. Thus, whenever it became neces- sary, the shouts of applause were so overwhelm- ing, that the Issing could not be heard: and it was only during the paus@ that the disturbers could make themselves in any degree conspicu- ous, True, they managed to annoy the audience during the greater portion of the first act, but then they discovered that they were in a miserable mi- noiity, and paused in their operations toa very great extent. Between the first and second acts, for example, six rounds ot cheers were given— the object of the majority being to show their heartiness of feeling towardsa gifted and accom- plished stranger. Some ruflians, not satisfied with oral demonstrations, threw pennies and an egg upon the stage; but Macready bore himself throughout with dignity and propriety, and treated the authors of the outrage with merited con- tempt. At the close of the piece q call was made, and the tragedian came torward and made a few remarks, which were listened to, and applauded or hissed, according to the temper of the parties. We will only repeat the statement, that the great majority of the audience were evidently and de- cidedly opposed to the outrageous conduct ot the few. The personation of Macbeth was, despite these difficulties, a master-piece. {prem thePhiladelphia Ledger, Nov 21] Mr. Macready appeared last night at the Arch, and the rnnouncement drew a very crowded audi- ence. The house inside was packed, and outside there was a gathering large enough for a town | meeting. Curiosity had drawn these “ outsiders” in expectation of a row, and we are sorry to say that the conduct of a portion of the audience inside justified their expectations, for they did all they could by hissing and noisesto destroy all the effect of the play. In this, however, they were only partially successful; a very large portion of the audience were respectable people, and their plau- dits silenced every attempt at interruption, though these were so frequent as to mar the beauty of the performance. During the play cheers were several times made for Forrest, and drowned by louder ones for Mpar say Pennies were thrown upon the stage amid calls and cries of the most disgrace- ful character, and in the last act, while Mr. M. was on the stage, an ege was thrown, and fallingnear his feet broke. Still he heeded not the iasult, but proceeded on through the piece. At the fall of the curtain there was the usual call,and Mr. Macready came before the curtain amid an almost universal waving of hats, and the most tumultuous applause ever heard ina theatre. It was several minutes before he eee to speak, so loud and general was the noise of friends and toes. MACREADY’S SPEECH. He at length said :—— he wasto be met by an organized opposition, but he had abiding confidence in the justice of the American people, [Here tl ise and confusion completely drowned bis voice, and three ch attempted for Forrest and three hearty ones were given for Macready) He resumed by saying it was the tom in nis country never to condem ‘Cheers and calle, in which Forrest ir. M. said that it bad been said that hortile feelings towards an actor in this country, and that he had evinced of opposition towards him—all which statements, rally and in the me 4 gate, he declared wholly and entirely unfounded, The actor alluded to had done that towards him what was ture n0 English actor would do, and what he be. lieved no other American actor would do—he had openly hissed him. (Great noise aed confusion. hisses and Lao | That uptothetime of that aot had never entertained towards that actor a feeling of un- kindnesr, nor had he ever shown any since. ‘ollision in boxes, and great uproar all over the house.) Whea epporition in his country had been organized against a French company. he actively interested himself to Here aid something of the disreputable character of those who participate in such outrages, which, amid the tumult, was lost to our ear] He said he folly appreciated the c ter and feelings of the audience, and his engagement, if it was their will it up at once. (no, no,—cheers he was willing to gi and hirrer) but that should retain in his mem: e liveliest recollection of the warm and ral senti- ments of regard shown him, and shoul. ak of the American people, whom he known and studied jast twenty years, with the same kind feelings fe that he ever had don: Throughout the closing scenes, as indeed he did throughout the entire play, Mr. Macready bore u under the many vexatious annoyances of a small we of the audience with great apparent good umor, but once, so far as we saw, showing any warmth of feeling, and then but for a moment. The movement of the whole evening was the most disgraceful that we ever saw in a theatre, and it wes gratifying to hear the object of an assault so brutal ‘snd uncalled for, attribute it to the proper source—to a few ill bred, riotous persons, to be found in every community—in every nation. _ [From the Pénnsylvanian.] We received the following card late last evening. It 1s a reply to the speech of Mr. Macready, at the Arch Street Theatre, on Monday evening :— A CARD. Mr. Macready, in his speech last night, to the au- dience assembed at the Arch Street Theatre, ma allusion, I understand, to “an American actor.’ wi had the temerity, on one occasion, “openly to hiss him’? This i which I bi rcope of his addregs. But why ray “an American actor?” Why not openly charge me with the act? fur I did it, and publicly avowed it in the Times news- paper. of London, and at the same time asserted my right to do 5 On the occasion alluded to, Mr. Macready intro- duced a fancy dance into his performance of Hemiet, which I designated as @ pas de mouchoir, and which [ hiesed, for | thought it a desecration of the acene, and the audience thought 80 too, for in a few nights sfter- warde. when Mr. Macready repeated the part of Hamlet with the same ‘tom-foolery,” the intelligent audience of Edinburgh greeted it with a universal hiss Mr. Macready is stated to have satd last night, that up to the time of this act on my part, he “ had never entertained towards me a feeling of unkindness I unheritatingly pronounce this to bea wilful and un- blushing falsehood. I most solemnly aver and do be- lieve that Mr. Mac! ly, instigated by his narrow, envious mind, and his selfish % eretly—not openly—suborn several writers for the English pre: “toady" of the eminent t: ready to do his dirty wor! bidding of his patron. before I had continued hi attacked me in print fared upon the London boards, of me at every opportunity a: bie poe wert alto, and solemnly delleve, that Mr. Macready con when his friends went to the theatre in Lon- @on. to hiss me. and did hiss me, with the purpose of driving me from the stage—and all this happened many months before the affair at Edinburgh, to which | Mr, Macready refers, and in relation to which he jesuit- | feally remarks that “until that aot, he never enter- tained towards me a feeling of unkinduess.”’ Pah! Mr. Macready bas no feeling of kindness for any actor who is likely, by bis talent, to stand in his way. His whole course as mansger and os actor proves this— there is nothiog in him but self—self—self—and his own countrymen, the English actors, know this well. Mr. Macready has a very lively imagination, and often draws upon it for his facts.

Mr. Macready was greeted this evening, at the Arch, by an immense audi Some very slight marks of disapprobation were apparent, which, however, did not interfere with the performance.

Bowery Tneatar.—Barney Williams had a fin® house Jast evening for his benefit, and he fully de- served it, for he is a most excellent Irish comedian and a most popular and deserving citizen: He is about to start on s Southern tour; and, wherever he plays, thoro who attend bis performances may be as- sured that they are seeing one of the most favorite New York actors. The performances last evening consisted of “Rose Clinton,” “fhe Irish Ambas- sador,”’ “ Born to Good Luck,” and the New Orleans Serenaders’ Concert. “ Ri Clinton’? was finely played. Though the story is «plain, simple one, the excellent acting of Miss Wemyss, Mrs. Jordan. J. H. Hall, Winans, &c., contribute much to make it ver interesting. The other pieces went off fin od, together, Barney Williams must be well pleased with the result of his benefit. For to-night a first-rate bill is presented, one that will just suit the holiday fol It consiste of no less than five different entertainments and a dance, viz :—Domestic dramas, farce, a concert by the New Orleans Serenaders, a grand nationai llegory in honor of General Taylor, and a national dance by Mr. G. W. Smith. For the particulars, we refer to our list of amusements. Broapwar THeatax.—Mr, Murdoch appeared at the Broadway, last evening, in the character of Richelieu. It is a great character, and in the hands of a talented actor, cannot but win great favor with am audience. Mr. Murdoch does not vary the tomesamd manner of his Richelieu so much as some actors who have performed the part upon the boards im this city. He is the old man all through, and does not at times seem to forget that the weight of years is upon him. Mr. M.’s olimac- trio points were well made, bat in the more quiet, yet most impressive rR j—those passages which carry with them pepe and essence of the doctrines and sentiments which the author intends to teach in these pasrages—the actor failed to make the impre: which the text is capable of producing. A ly Tead, but woll emphasised sentence, is just as effective as one delivered in @ louder tone; and a high order of talent is undoubtedly often displayed in these same quiet readings; but where s passage contains a gem, it is not enough to say the line will tell for itself. The suthor may call upon his reader to use his own judg- ment in Sisceening the beauties of a work; the actor, however, aesumes the task of pointing out these beau- ties, by look, tone, gesture, emphi or otherwise, Some readers are so much afraid of mouthing worde, that they run into the fault opposite to that which they shun. Escaping Soylls, they are not careful enough to avoid Chi Mr. M. has not entirely avoided it. The audience, however, expressed their approbation frequently during the evening, and at the close ef the piece, called him before came out, after consiuerable delay, jience for their flattering demonst eame time expressed hie dieapproval of the custom of calling actor out at the close of a performance. The piece was well cast throughout; Mesars. Dyott, Fre- Gericks, Vache, Baker, and Misses W. a Hildreth, with others, all acquitted themselves The bill was made up besides “Richelieu,” of formance upon the User belle, farce of * His Legs,” in which Mr. Macarthy was cast for O'Callaghan. Nationa, Taratre.—Yenkee Hill is attracting crowds to this house nightly, and the hearty laughter and enthusiastic applause which are elicited by his graphic and unique delineations of the true blue, full blooded down-easter, make the house resound again. Ofcourse the character is somewhat exagge- rated in Mr. Hill's personations—that is absolutely necessary in performing any single line of character— but his easy acting: comical looks, and ready wit, all combine to pleare all those who hear him. Last evening the frat pleco was {The Green’ Mountain Boy,” in which he pleys Jedediah. It is @ very in- teresting drama. and went off with much éclet, “New York asit is.” f “New Notions,” with Wheeler, made up the remainder of day Mr. Chi hol. good chance te enjoy themselves, as there wit be an afternoon as well as an evening performanee Both the entertainments will be capital ones. The afternoon one will consist of the drama of “ Murrell, the Land Pirate,” in which Burke is #0 comical; the ever populor “ New York as it is,” and the farce of “ The Omnibus.’ In the evening Mr. Hill will appear in eeveral facres. Burton's Toxatre.—Last evening this theatre was well filled, on the occasion of Miss Chapman’s benefit The “Good Old English Gentleman,” which is a co- medy in two acts, and exceedingly well got up, andas well played, in which piece is introduced a very pretty dance, called the “Morris Dance;” after which the © Musical Arrivals” was received with great applause, with the “ Beauty andthe Beast:” the mances givi meral approbation.

Sanps, Lent & Co.'s (Ninto’s.)—This popular place of public amusement was crowded last evening to excers,and the astonishing feats performed by the ire company elicited the most enthusiastic ap- jae throughout.
