7 the farce, which commenced the entertainments, was Theatr and Musical, Bowray Tueataxz.—There was a great house here Jast evening, to witness the first representation of the Brand new dramatic spectacle of Boadicia, which was produced in the mort brilliant style. We hesard no- thi saying that a more magnificent spestacie has never yn in New York before; 4, apart from ‘the splendor of the getting up. the story itself is one of the greatest interest, and the acting of all the prom- nent performers was most excellent Mr. Gilbert, as the aged and venerable Celt, enacted his part with thet judgment and discrimination which always marks his performances; while Miss Wemyss a+ the noble Boadicea, whose country was so ru‘hiessly overran by the foreign enemy, played with all the dignity and talent which she is so eminently mistress of. Miss Taylor. as the wife of the comical oyster dealer, (Winans) looked charming; her dress became her admirably, and we do not wonder that the worthy oysterman was somewhat netiled at the wayward and gadoing spirit ofhisspouse, The singing, choruses, combats, and otber imposing portions of the piece, ‘were well managed. surprisingly eo for a first night's performance, and allengaged in the getting up of the piece deserve great credit for the completeness with ‘which it was produced. The new scenery is beautifal, eepecially the first one, representing London in the olden time. J. H. Hall, J. Dunn, Jo nd the rest, played too are very brilliant. Alto- gether, jiece exceeds any ever yet produced at the Bowery. It be played again to- night, and will. doubtless, have # long run. : Buroapway Tuxatne.—Uhe run of that rich an' Deautiful piece, “ The Count of Monte Cristo,” still continues with unprecedented vigor and unabated in- tensity. The curiosity of the public to see this beau- tiful drama is still far from being satiated. We have already said so much of this unequalled spectacle, that Japguage can go no further to desoribe its beaut and the merit, talent, and genius of the several able Lester, at their Itioe rformers who appear in it. Of th ead, bas taken the town completely by storm. roud thing for Mr. Lester, the m impel ‘tes the Count, ry t but difficult’ character; and th with which night after night he is greeted, 1 richiy due to the genius and kil which is capable of such an histrionic effort avd exhibition. “ Monte Cristo” will no doubt continue to run some time longer. Indeed, it reems nightly to augment in power of attraction, while it fully deserves the intense ad- miration it excites in all who witness it. NationaL Tueatar.—At an early hour last even- ing the house was crammed in every part, and before over, it became necessary to stop the sale of any more tickets,'so that hundreds, literally hundreds, were obliged to postpone their visit to another evening.— All this excitement was the result of the proauction of the new piece, Wacousta. which has been announced as forthcoming for some time past. To say thatit was eucorsefu), is net encugh; it was most triumphant; and the lopg and leud hurrabs of the audience, as the cur- tain fell om the first act,showed how much they ap- preciated the plece The scenery is most beautiful, and teveral novel effects are introduced in the course of the piece; ships under full rail pass and re-pass, broadsides are exchanged, and all the incidents ofa sea fight sre depicted in a most surprisingly natural man- ner; in amanner we believe,which hasnever before been attempted on any stage. J.R. Scott acted his part finely; truly he is @ capital aetor. Pardey, Tilton, S+ymcur, Herbert, T G. Booth, the beautifal Mrs, Isher- ‘wood. Mrs. Woodward, and Mrs. Chapman, all had ca- pital parts ‘The piece will, no doubt, have a long run, and in future notices ef it, we shall enter more into detail rerpeoting it. It will be repeated thiseven- ing, with several other amusing pieces.

On eatering the diving saloon of the Asior t!ouse, we found that beauti- ful nd spacious salon crowded with one of the mort brilliantly fasbionabie and critical assemblages we have lately seen. At least one-half of the company were ladies, among whom we noticed many of the lead- ing belles of the season. ‘Tbe presence of ladies, on such an cecasion, is a novelty. and reflects great credit on the taste of the Messrs.

On this suepicion being communicated to one of our effl- cient magistrates, Mr. Justice Lothrop, a warrant was iseved for the arrest of Lipman, and placed in the nde of officer Burley, very soon had the accu- incurtody, and on searching his trunk, s very tity of pawn tickets were found, all for pledg 1d watches. This discovery at once solv. ed the mystery, and showed to the officer that he had the thief; late last evening, Mr. Burley had prooured over 50 gold watches and gold chains, which he reco- | vered from the pawn brokers. Mr Simpson will be the loser of twenty five watches, and the other pawn. brokers in proportion. ‘The magistrate committed the accused to prison for a further hearing Western Wepoina. —A letter writer of the Bos- ton Post givesa spirited account of a wedding in | Louisville, between Miss W—, the belle of Kentucky, and a gentleman from Boston.

The house itself is a com- modious looking affair, but 1s furnished ina style that would do credit to any New York uphoister, Three drawn.g rooms were brilliantly illuminated, in the rear of which was a conservatory, adorae with the rarest exotics; on the left an ante-room, orrathera picture room in which I noticed an excellent portrait of President Taylor. (Mr. W. 18 himeelf, however, a great democrat). In this room were tables supplied with all manner of wines and /iqueurs, at the shrine of which the big men of Kentucky, and the more juvenile por- | tion of ‘the crowd’ ‘paid particular and repeated homage. { had the pleasure of witneseing the ceremony The groom and bride appeared very | pale and deeply sensible of the solemnities of the | eccasion.

The upper | room eclipsed everything in the way of ar- Tangements (of course, [ have no reference tothe beauty of Kentucky’s fair daughters; for what could excel that?) A pyramid was in the centre of the room—this massive pile was sup- ported by twenty-two cherubims; and U heard a young man, no doubt an unsuccessful suitor, re- mark, that they were emblematical of the years that the bride had passed; bat I don’t believe it, of course. Upon the top of all, a beautiful vase poured forth clouds of perfumed incense, such as no doubt had been oflered before the throne ot ‘the belle’ by the crowds of her beaux and admirers during the last eight «ummers.” Admiral Brown, of the Buenos Ayroan squadron, who had been for forty-six years actively engaged, and had performed many distinguished and gailant’ser- viees under the flag of that republic, lately returned | to pay @ short visit to his native country (being a na- | tive ef the county of Westmeath), The gallant Ad- miral, who is in his 78th year, and looked remarkably | Well. was on @ visit for some with Mr. Seymour, the Sardinian Consul, at Cove.

C JOHNSON, Postmaster General. Post Orrice Derantment, Jan. 8, 1849, Massacnuserts Iniocy —One of the most valu- able documents which has been published for some time is Dr. Hot cagew upon Idiocy. It makesa pampblet of 1. 15] pages, and abounds with facts and statemente which are worthy of all consideration. In 1846. commissioners were appointed by an act of the Marrachuretts legislature, to inquire imto the condi- tion of the idiote of the Commonwealth, to ascertain their number and whether anything could be done in their behalf. The report now before us contains the results of this commission. By diligent inquiries in nearly one hundred townsin the State, the commis. sioners have aecertained and examined the condition of 574 helpless and hopeless idiote; and on the basis of these inquiries, the opinion is expressed that there are over 1,200 in the entire State of viassachusetts, in va- rious stages of idiocy. The commissioners, personally, or by @ competent agent, minutely examined the con- dition of over 400 of these unfortunate beings, and in their report furnish a series of tables, occupying 40 pages, which exhibit the age, the physical and mental condition of these poor creatures, ands mass of facts reapeeting the causes of idiecy and the proper method of dealing with idiots, for which the Commonwealth and the world at large, owe these gentlemen a debt of gratitude. The picture of degradation, wretchedness and misery, which the details of this report present, is perfectly overwhelming. It enough to move the hearts of the most callous, d to stir the very soul of humanity to exertion. The improve- ment made by the commissioners of the tacts developed by their investigations, ie thus set forth : “The moral to be drawn from the existence of the Individual idiot is this—he, or his parents, have so far d the natural laws, so far marred the beau- tiful organiem of the body, that is an unfitinstrament for the manifertation of the powers of the soul. moral to be di afooy in soolety, is, that « very large class of persons conditions ; they ovor- look the hereditary transmission of certain morbid tendene! the body in tmotions of the mind into fearfal passions, and thus bring down the awful consequences of their own ig- porance and sin upon the heads of their unoffending cbildren. Idiocy is found in all civilized countries, bot it is not an evil necessarily inherent in society ; it is not an accident ; and much less is it a special dis- penration of Providen to suppose it can be #0. is an insult to the Majesty of No! It is merely the sesult of a violation of natural laws which are sim- pie. clear,and beautiful; which require only to be sven and known, in order to be loved; and which, if strictly observed for two or three generations, would totally remove from any family, however strongly pre- disposed to insanity or idiocy, all possibility of its re- currence ‘An interesting and important part of this report relates to the improvement - mora), intellectual and pbysical—of which idiots, even the most degraded and brutal, sre susceptible. Facts are detailed respecting schools which bave been established in Europe for the instruction of this wretched clase of our fellow crea- tures, which show conclusively that the most helpless and wretched of idiots may be greatly improved in their physical condition, and. comparatively speaking, elevated, morally and intellectually.—-Bosion Tya- veller. Prank Roaps --From our exchanges we learn that the construction of plank roads, in various parte of the country, connecting the interior with the main lines ot railway from the Hudson to the Weat and the North, are in contemplation. In addition to those already noticed, we find the fol- lowing:—From Binghamton to Hamilton, to con- nect with the Hamilton and Utica plank road ; trom Norwich to Binghamton, to connect with the Ene railway ; from Bainbridge, Chenango coun- ty, to Deposit, on the line of the Erie railway, to beextended to Norwich; from Norwich to Ox- ford ; fiom Fort Edward, Washington county, to Queentbury, Warren county, connecting the Glen's Falls and Caldwell road, at Glen's Falls, with the Saratoga and Washington Railroad ; trom Saratoga Springs to Schuylerville ; from Syracure to Utica ; from Weat Troy to the Aqueduet, con- necting with the proposed road to Saratoga Springs—books of Lejiwial ath for this road are now open at the City Hotel Albany Argus. Russian Mivgrats —In these times of high ex citement in relation to mineral wealth, it may not be uninteresting to state that a gentleman of this city, Professor W. R. Johnson, has recently re= ceived, by order of the Russian government, a splendid and valuable series of the minerals of that country, embracing some of the rarer varieties of mineral forms, as well as of the rich and valuable metallic ores, trom widely distant parts of the em- pire. The donation is understood to be an acknow- ledgement of important assistance rendered to cer- tain officers of the Russian mining crops, sent owt to this country in 1846, to investigate the subject of the mining and uee of anthracite and other coals. It isan appropriate compliment, and was accom: panied by letters which speak in the most unequi- vocal terms of the high estimation of the scientific aid and co-operetion of Prot, Johnson.— Washing- ton Union, Dec. 28.

Since my last, under date 1st instant, nothing of mauch interest has transpired in this region. The shocking bad weather still continues; footpaths and roads are almost impassable. Four companies of the Second Dragoons, com- manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Fauntleroy, passed through here a few days since, em route for Austin. On the day they started, it rained a fect deluge, and the weather has contiaued ad ever since. General Twiggs left, several days afterwards, in the stage, with his aids; but, owig to the bad state of weather and roads, he ita not get so faras Austin. He is, I think, thoroughly disgusted with Texas. He ob- served, in my hearing, that he suffered more in his short tmp, than he would during five years in Mexico. The General, immediately on his return, lett Galveston 1m the steamer for New Orleans. The city 18 abundantly supplied (numerically) with physicians and lawyers. The tormer had a busy ume during the past season ; the latter are complaining of dull times and no fees. The medi- cal faculty and the bar are weak ia point of talent.

So far, we have had a very unpleasant winter— continued rains and bad weather. For several days, a severe norther has been blowing, accom- panied by heavy rain and sleet. ‘The trees, yes- teiday, were covered with icicles. Owing to the city being built on clay, when it rains, the streets become so muddy, that any one that stirs out 18 obliged to be provided with mud boots drawn over his pants: the sidewalks not being generally paved, itis like wading through soft mud ankle deep. The mud, however, soon dries up after it stops raining ; but sometimes it rains for forty days and forty nights. “ We have several saw-mills, which furmsh lum- ber sufficient for the demand, at $15 per M. Bncks are also made, and sell from $5 to $7 per M. Both timber and bricks are inferior. An enterprising Yankee is attempting to make stone- ware, and will probably be successful. An iron foundry 18 just established, which will do well: one at Galveston is doing a good business. This is decidedly one of the most monotonous places that you can imagine ; rarely an occurrence disturbs the daily routine of things—selling goods, buying cotton, grumbling at bad roads, low prices, &c., are pretty much the engrossing subjects of con- versation. We had a little excitement at the elec- tion, it being the first me the denizens had voted as whigs and democrats. The Payor men aston- ished the natives, and General Houston by this time bas discovered that there are more than six whigs in Texas. i 3 ‘Two vessels, within a few days, have arrived at Galveston (several more expected) trom Hamburg, with 204 emigrants, they came on their own ac- count, and will settle in the interior of the State. Judging from their appearance, they will constitute a very desirable accession to our population. A art of them have arrived here in the steamer . Wiiiams; others will go by the *Yachv” to- Port Lavaca or Indian Point. By the by, your correspondent from the latter place has been rather romancing in his late letter te you. I merely remind him to tell the truth, the whole truth, ‘“c., in his next Nothing had been heard from Col. Hays at San Antonie on the 28th ult. You may remember that he started some time back, with aay of 50 men, to explore a route to Chihuahua: fears are enter- tained for their safety. There are some tour or five new towns started on the Texas side of the Rio Grande—mere mush- rooms—just such as Corpus Christi was and is—- but without capital, as Uncle Sam 1s no longer banker. The many accounts you read, of great doings and intentions at Corpus Christi, are all pufis, pufis. rea Cash capital is very much wanted in this city-- those forming the mercantile community brought little or no means to this country, and have always been pressed: as their business increases, their wants keep pace. Money freely conimands from 3 to 5 per cent per month, with good security : de- mand much greater thanthe supply. If any of your readers have a few thousand dollars unemployed, I wall guarantee them the former rates, and satis- factory security. : In my next I will endeavor to give you a short eketch of some of our leading men—their origin, progrese, success, &c. The Western Tezian, of San Antonio, contains a legal citation by Jebn J. Giddinge, ae plaintiff, against twenty-e'ght German princes, dukes, counts, and landgraves, and ene princ who are all made de- fendants. The suit is for $9.772, which is the balance due ro] the cost of surveying, the whole amount being 38,851. g case has recently been decided by , ofthe United States District Court, Thomas Toby sued David Ran- donon two promissory notes, amounting to $3,500, ‘The defendant contended that the money was not as the property he received for the notes atives of Africa, whe were brought through Cubs contrary to the laws of Spain, and taken to Texas in 1835. im violation of the laws of Mexico.
