— NO. 5405. Forngst ann Macreapy Agarn.--The letter written by Mr. Forrest, in reply to the last card of Mr. Macready, and which first appeared in a ‘Pir teburgh paper, has been before our readers, and Probably perused with much curiosity and eur- Prise by many of them. Of the character of the ast card or Jetter, emanating from the great Ame- Yican tragedian, every independent thinker will form his own opinion. To our mand, while this Statement seems to prove satisfactorily that Mr. Macready muet have resorted to special pleading 10.8 degree almost amounting to prevarication, in hie reply to Mr. Forreet, we cannot perceive that qhe tone and temper infused by Mr. Forrest into this letter, varies much in its censurable cha- Tacter from those of his first. All of the al- legations made againet Mr. Forrest seem to be made out by the quotations furmished by Mr. Forrest; yet Mr. Forrest might have written that letter without exhibiting the bad temper, or using those hard and ungentlemanly words, which every mow and then break out, when he speaks of his rival and competitor in the theatrical line. There seems to be little doubt but that Mr. Macready exercised, in ome degree, his influence in Londen agaist Mr. Forrest; but there appears to be as atle difficulty in thinking that Mr. Forrest is too senvitive, and allows himeelf to be worked up into a@tempest of a passion at those rivalries which prevail among all men trying to reach the same eminent height. We doubt whether Mr. Ferrest’s ease, or his postition before the public, ean be benefitted by his last production. The wises; peliey for him to have pursued in all his relations with Mr. Macready, would have been not to pay any attention to these theatrical critics in London, never alluded to the matter at all, and not allowed himeelf to be worked into a passion, but to pursue his own career in the developement of his own talent, caring nothing for what cnitics, er rivals, or foreigners, or natives, or any other clase of men, or even women, said, thought, wrote, or talked about him. By pursuing such a high-minded e@ourse from the beginning, Mr. Forrest would have had the public, on both sides of the Atlantic, tm his favor, and would occupy at this time a much higher position as an artist of great talent, and aman of noble mind. His passionate card and special pleading letter, can only flace him on the same level with Mr. Macready before the public, and that 1s—a literary prizefighter in the columns of suffering newspapers. Some persons hhke Mr. Macready as an actor better than they do Mr. Forrest, and some prefer Forrest to Macready; but who cares for the personal quarrels or squabbles of ether? By briaging such controversies betore the public, they reduce themselves to the same level as that of the lamp lighters and scene shifters et the drama, instead of occupying the diguified position of heroes and lotty minded artists. Orgra ManaGement IN Havana and New Yorx.—It 18 stated in the newspapers that the manager of the Opera in Havana, during the last season, cleared an immense sum of money, amounting, according to rome accounts, to sixty thousand dolla Opera management in Havana is different to what it has been in New York for two or three years past. Mr. I ry, during the re- @ent season, according to his own account, lost fourteen thousand dollars, and hie predecessors, the year before, likewise Jost a large sum. Now 4g 1t not singular that the Opera 1s better managed an Havana—a city nothing like New York in mag- nificence—than it 18 in this g.eat metropolis, to which all the strangers that visit the New World Teeort, and where there is every tacility of con- ducting such an establishment with vigor and suc- @ess? We should like to know the secret history of Opera management im Havana, in order to com- pare it with thatof New York. A eontrast and comparison might disclose some ot the detects in Opera management in New York. It is very evident that some strange blunders and mistakes have been made in Opera management in this city, to produce such disastrous results as those which have taken place. We hope, however, that a day of reform is approaching. Since Mr. Fry’s season 80 abruptly terminated ina break down, we see that Mr. Max Maretzek is in the field, endeavoring to reeonstruct the Opera out of the old elements, ‘but on a more popular and independent principle Thus far he has been tolerably successful. His trovpe 18 very good; and ifthe public can only forget the weakfand insolent attempts made during the last two years to form an exclusive clique of society which denies to the rest of the world, even reepectability,we suppose that Mr. Maretzek’s new movement may be more successful than some of the recent attempts have been. It 18 fair, however, that he and his trowpe should have a chance of unfolding their capacities, and we believe the pub- pec is sufficiently gifted with charity to let them have a chance. Ovr Forgion Missions.—We have some curious ®ccounts from our correspondents in Washington, disclosing the condition of seme of ou foreign missions in Europe. Some statements are pub- lished that one of our foreign Ministers has been engaged in the practice of smuggling ; and others represent thet several have got in debt in the capi- tals where they reside, to an extent far beyond their me! We have the particulars of all these ‘unfortunate cases ; but, out of regard to the parties» and the character of our diplomatiste, we hesitate about publishing such discreditable details. We hope, however, that these statements which have eome out, are not exaggerated for the purpose of Justifying a general sweep of foreign Ministers and Charges, which has been urged by a numbe ef applicants on the head ot the State Department. Candidates to be selected tor foreign mission, should poseess a character unimpeachable and honorable in every point of view ; and if persons of an opposite description have been appointed by Mr. Polk, and still retain office abroad, the sooner they are removed and come home, the better it will be for the reputation of the United States ia foresgn countne: Wno 1s ro ne Nexr Mayon 1—Che barnbu mer bave nominated W.

This will consummate an apprepriate and honorable testimonial of the emizent merits of the deceased, and ef the rightfal sense of the public of his exemplary conduct and character. The sum already realized is deposited, at interest, with the Life and Trust Company, and the termination of the benefits, a report will be made by the committee, which will demonstrate a liberality and practical benevolence on the part of the community highly to its honor. The managers and members of the different theatres—indeed, the theatri. cal performers jerally— have displayed afree-hearted and effics nergy and kindness beyond all praise. ‘We trust and believe, from what we hear, that the ap- proaching benefit at the Broadway will be a brilliant affair :—a munificent lose to a succession of exertions really attended with great pleasure, really resulting in inestimable aid to the deserving recipients. The time for the approaching benefit will be designated In a few days. { Bowanr Turatae.—The pretty little opera of the ‘ National Guard” was played last evening before » numerousaudience. It is one of those little operas that are always sure to be popular with the many, as it has a most interesting and amusing story. and a great deal of elegant music interspersed through it.

CITY POLITICS. ‘The whigs held their primary ward elections yester- day, for the purpose of appointing committees to serve gm the Mayoralty Convention, on the 26th instant. There is mo particular candidate put forward at present as being the one mest likely to gain the nomi- nation, The names of Kingsland, Greeley, Woodhull, Adams, and Crolius are mentioned in conneetion with the nomination; but, like the old hunkers in the demo- eratic party, the whigs have not, as yet, determined who Is the most available candidate, or who will best serve the interests of the party. There are weighty reasons why Mr. Kingsland should receive the nomi- pation. Mr. Greeley, it is said, cam command a large Irish vote. Mr. Woodbull has many friends, who will work hard for him, and ditto Messrs. Adams and Crolius, Perhaps a compromise will be necessary, and all these will be exoluded to make way for some can- didate yet unnamed. The national reformers are in the field with can- didates for the Mayoralty and Alms House Commie sioner. Their eandidete for Mayor is David Marsh; for Alms House Commissioner, Louis W. Ryokmaa.— There nominations sre made with the express under- standing that they should be considered nail if either of the other parties sbould nominate a candidate which shoul up to the free soll standard in the avowal of their pelitical principles.

They must go armed, to protect themselves and their property trom the numerous bands of robbers and Lndians that infest various portions of the route, and give interminable trouble to their own countrym n, if the accounts in the Mexican ne wepapers are to be relied on.

The regimeat left this city under a solemn promise, trom Governor Bar- baehano, that each private should be paid eight lara a month, should receive a suit of clothes every three months, and, at the expiration of the term of service, three hundred and twenty acres of land. The regiment was between three and four months in service. During that time, they had several severe CeRAEE ON with the Ladians, and from Tekax to Tihosuco and Valladolid, drove the enemy betore them, until they now have pos- session of no pesition of importance, except Buca- Jar, near Belize, Honduras. ‘ The regiment was besieged eight daye in Tiho- suco, an dung thet time was reduced to such an extremity that officers or yarae had nothing to eat but cate and dogs. Ia the several enguge- mente, the loss in killed was from sixty to seventy and from a hundred to a hundred and fitty were wounded. Although eonnanelly suffer- ing hardships, owing to the salubrity of the cli- mate, but few of the men fell by disease. After all this, the only requ: al offered the men is the pul- try eurn of ten dollars each. Barbachano pleaded the poverty of the treasury, and Colonel White finding there was no prospect of tne stipulations entered into with the regiment being fulfilled, at once requested that it should pe disbanded, which was acceded to. Gents R. J. Keily 18 the only officer, we under- stand, whoremained. He was authorized to raise a company from the disbanded volunteers, and sufficient consented to remain to complete the company. We reget to learn that Lieutenant Campbell, of Capt. Kelly’s company, and Lieut. Gallagher, who were wounded in the battle of the 25th December, died of their wounds, the former on the 22d of January. | We are indebted to Captain Mace for files of the latest papers. The Boletin Oficial, of Merida, under date of February 5, contains the preamble and resolutions adopted by a meeting of several ot the officers of Col. White’s regiment, held at Valladolid on the 28d January. Dr. John J, Lamar was the presi- dent of the meeting, and Capt. Wm. 3 Read, secretary. It appearsthe meeting was called in consequence of various reports ulleged to have been put in circulation by some of the officers of the regiment, who had resigned, derogatory to the character of the American regiment of volunteers in Yucatan. The meeting resolved that all such reports were false aud calumaious, and circulated by their authers for the purpose of concealing theirown cowardice; that their confidence in their commander was unimpaued ; that since the arrival of the American troops in Yucatan, no outrages whatever had occurred on their part, and no ineult or act of discourtesy had been offered to the e1vil or military authorities of the country, and that all reports to the eoutrary were malicious and untrue. The proceedings of this Meeting are signed by Col. White, Capt. Tobin, and other officers. The Boletin, ot the 23d of February, contains a card, signed by Dr. Lamar and Captain Read, mentioning the names of four officers, as being those alluded to in the ab>ve-mentioned resolu- tions. Then follows a certificate irom Colonel White, stating that he ie fully convinced ot the bravery and gallantry of Major Henry and Cap- tains RK. P. Mace and J. k'reeland, who were not intended to be alluded to by the aforesuid meet- ing. We aleo observe a letter trom Dr. Lamar to Capt. Mace to the same purport. 5 This is the only matter of interest we find in the papers. We are aleo under much obligation to Cupt. Mace for the subjoined list of the wounded in the battle of the 25th December, the first com- plete list we have been ableto lay our hands on. A number, it will be seen, died of their wounds :— Captain Kelly, wounded; Lieut. Campbell, wounded, since died; Livut. Geliagher, wounded, siace ded; Sergeant Major Martin, twice wounded.

Among others we eee mentioned the parties under Capt. Fair and Capt. Dodge. The sale of government steamers advertised for the 1st of March, has been postponed to the 15th, in consequence of the cholera. Col.

Cuicago, March 12—4 P. M. At about 100’clock thie morning, the mass of ice in the South Branch gave wsy, carrying with it the bridge at Madison, at Ra.idolph, and Wells streets—in fact, sweeping off every bridge over the Chicego river, also, ica be fae TRUE. are were in port 4 steamboats, 6 propellers, rigs, 68 schooners, 2 al and 57 canal boats; most of which have been either totally destroyed or Be- niously damaged i. The moving mass of ice, canal boats, Here and vessels, were atopped at the foot ot Clark st.; but withstood the pressure but a moment, crash- ing vessels and falling spars giving note of the ruin that was to follow. A short distance below, the river was again damed, below Kinzie’s warvhouse. Here the scene Was most indescribabie. Vessels, lers and steamboats, were thrown Nagether 10 the utmost confusion, forming a dam across nver, which backed the water to an unprecedented ag Atthis point, at 11) A. M., ey mill re- mained; im all, 28 vessels--two propellers, the Ontario and Gen. Taylor. two steamboats, the Ward and Pacific, the C \¥.

F The tollewing are the vessels in port this morn- ing, and the damage they have sustained, so far we can ascertain:—The steamboat Globe da- meged, 500 ; hauled down tothe Pier.

The veseels which remained in the jam are somewhat injured. The list ot canal boats is too Jong. to repeat. should the North Branch get dammed up, of which there 1s tear, a large share of them muet be destroyed. We hear of several lives being lost. A boy was crushed to death at Randolph et. bridge —a littie girl was killed by the falling of a topmast. A number of men are reported to have loss their lives on canal boats which have been suak, aad upon the ice and bridges as it broke up. At the time of writing, the water is risiog fast and the goods are being removed from the warehouses along the river. It 18 imporeible to estimate the extent of the injury which has been done. We fear the logs of lite has veen much more than has been reported. We learn from Bridgeport that the bridge over the lock 18 gone, and that about 160 feet of embankment en the side of the feeder has been swept away also. et 1o’clock P. M.—The water 18 still ring.

Bawner, of the 8th inst. says:—The Teche is now gradually rising, and from accounts which we get trom the Mississippi, we conclude that something of an overflow wi take place soon in this section of the: country. Such an event must prove most disastrous to our planters. The injured conditio: of much of the seed cane of this parish will have a bad effect upon the coming orop of cane, but an overflow 18 a dia- aster of a more unpleasant character, and much more to be dreaded. The water is suid to be sluicing through a breach ot eleven acres in the levee at Point Coupee, and it admits a tide of no ordinary size. We hope our planters may be spared the sacrifices which would be caused by an over flow, but at present the prospects appear rather gloomy. , The >t. Leuis (Mo ) Republican, ot the 8th ini says :—The river continues on the increase, and now higher thau it has been known at any period before dering this season, Since our jast, it has risen between two and three teet ; to-day the ehan- nel was running thick with dritt and heavy ice, which 18 reported to be out of the Missouri, that stream trom the mouth of the Osage down being higher than it has been known tor some time. The Lisnors and Upper Muisesissippi rivers are aleo re- ported rising, aud should the preseat mud and open weather continue, we may Oe pat quite a treshet atthie point. Last evening the weather cleared off and turned shghtly colder, but there ie little prospect of another treeze The muddy and sloppy condition of the streets and levee would, however, make such a contingency at prevent quite desira- ble. The high étage of the river opposite has cur- tailed the dimensions of the levee, comparatively speaking, to a very narrew strip, and from thie cause much detention and inconvenieace is now felt in the transaction of busineee, receiving and forwarding of goods. The St James (La.) Le Messenger, of the 10th Inst., says:—The crevasse near the pladtation of Alexander Brand 1s an arpent and a half in width. The force of the current 1) #0 great tuat the strong. eet piles are carried away like matches. The water extends a great distance and ia undermining the houses, eome of which already threaten to tail It hae reached the sugar house of Trusimoa Landry, and the people are empioyed in removing tne hogeheads. The planters had made a subserip- tion of $10,000 to procure assistance from New Orleans, and Mr. Bringier, it iy said, nad gore to the city for that purpo The Couct had ad- journed until May, on untot the condition ot the river. The waters had fallen withia a few days. The N. O. Picayune, of the Lith inst., speaking of the river at Carrollton, says:— We learn that the river 18 higher thay 1¢ hax been this season betore as far up ae Carrollton, This 18 no doubt in com bequence of the previiling winds, bj whieh the waters ure backed up trom below. The levee was agein broken yesterday at Latnyette, i the same place where the diffieu'ty occurred a week ortea vine apo. The apprehension of an overflow con- toues to be very serious. The levee along the nper partof the > nd Manicipality was last reining overflowed to a cousideradle depth, an: strove feare were entertained that mugoh dainaye would ensue. _ tind p38 Viocent Tornavo—The Montgomery (Ala ) Journal, ot the Voth instant, aking Of @ recent tormado near that place, say We hear runcrs from the country of several dieasters from the heavy etorm which passed soutl of thia city at 2 o’cleck P.
