We, the subscribers, citizens of the United States, whe have taken the Isthmus route to Catffornia, and are now detained at Panama, wishing fully to apprise emigrants designing to come this way of the existing state of affairs here, submit the following statement, for the truth of which they individually and cotlec- tively stand pledged, ‘There are now on the isthmus not tess than thirteon hundred (1300) Americans, and the steamer Falcon is daily expected from New York with a large number of Passengers. The steamer California has not arvived although long since due, nor is there a vessel of any description in this port, destined for San Fransisco, nor can we obtain positive assurance that any sailing 'vos- sel ison her way hither. We therefore feel it our duty to warn our fellow citizens against coming this route for several months hence, as they will certainly be sub- jected to much detention on their arrival at Panama, They further advise their countrymen that there are etill'on the Isthmus many pasrengers who have been there six weeks, and that the expenses of living are ox- orbitant as well as the price of passage to California, which in the vessels that left last was two hundred dol- lars, The accommodations and fare in these vessels were of the most ordinary kind. % {Signed by several hundred emigrants whose names can be seen at the Herald office.) im the PEARSON AND HER TWIN CitiL- DREN—THE FF i NES.—At an early hour, this morning, we paid a visit to the house in Wilmington, and while conversing with the father and other relatives, learnt some facts which it may not be inappropriate to state. It ap- pears that Daniel H. Pearson, now arrested, mar- ried Martha B. Foster, of Townsend, some fifteen years since, and for a while they were happy in each other’s society, but little by little the confi- fidence in one another, which is requisite to do- mestic happiness, was found wanting, and previous, to the birth of their first child, he paid her two hundred dollars to leave him, which she did. The child was born, but subsequently sickened and died. A second child, Melissa, now the only sur- viving child, aged 13, was, at the time of the mur- der, in Boston, where she has for some time re- sided with a relative. From her birth to the pre- sent time, there has constantly been trouble, and for several years past, the unhappy couple have not lived together for any length of time, though the sccused! has supplied their wants. Mrs. Pearson, with one of the twins, during the past winter, has resided in South Boston, in capacity of a nurse to a friend, and returned to Wilmington only a week previous to the murder. The very night previous, the father of the accused visited her, and she then said that her husband, during her stay in the city, had been unusually kind, and had been very gen- erous in his gifts of clothing, from which it ap- pears that the murder was committed some time Beeveen 9o’clock that night, when the father left, and the next morning. The bearing of the accuse: at his examination, was that of one perfectly indif- ferent, and his whole life and character has been one of singular oddity. ‘The house in which the murder was cemmitted is in a dilapidated condi- tion, and only two rooms were furnished, and pre- sented this ‘morning a picture of poverty rarely equalled. For the last few days, thousands and thousands have visited the spot, and all express wonder that the cries of the murdered did not reach the ears of the residents of a house which stands but three rods from it. There are those who think, from the fact that stains of blood were found on his under-clothes, that at alate hour he went to the houge, and was let in by his wife, and retired be- fore committing the foul deed; but thts ts a suppo- sition, though acredible one. About one o’clock to-day, the coffin which con- tained the murdered wife and the twin girls was laced on the hearse, amid the tears of many who ad gathered, and were melted by this spectacle, and was conveyed, followed by a large concourse of carriages and personae the front ef the Ortho- dox Church, in Wilmington, where those who wished were allowed to view the sad aa ofa murdered wife and her two babes, as love ly chil- dren§as we ever recollect to have seen. There was nota dry eye among the thousands who were present, and even men wiped away a tear as the gazed upon the remains, The interior of the church was filled with the relatives of the deceased, a very respectable and highly worthy portion of the com- munity, who feel a desire that the accused should receive full justice, and the towns-people. ‘The minister, in the course of his remarks onthe occasion, said, that upon the first meeting of the ather and his accused son_after the fatal deed, the ormer said to him—*My son, what have you done? Has the devil taken possession of your heart?” ‘ Father,” replied the son, ‘the devil sometimes gets into a woman’s heart and she some- times does such things.” “No, my son,” added the father, ‘ the mother of those innocent children, who has nurtured them, who has watched th with a parent’s care and solicitude, is incapable such adeed. Let justice be done.” ‘The deceased is represented by those who have enjoyed her acquaintance, to have been a lady of amiable disposition, and though early accustomed to trouble, of excellent spirits. In regard to the insanity of the accused, which has been hinted at, and his accusation that she was untrue to him, we know nothing authentic, nor is it just to set down aught against the supposed guilty, which has not a good foundation, previous to his trial. We most willingly close this brief account, and trust that this crime will not be lost upon the community, but will cause others to, reflect how from virtue and uprightness it is possible that a man little by little may descend to crime and murder. Mrs. Pearson was thirty-four years of age.—Boston Evening Gazette, April 14. Funeral or Mn: Mvnpers tw Texas.—Within the last two years, few, very few, murders, or instances of heinous crime of any sort, have occurred in this portion ot ‘Texas. We feel confident that, during this period, our annals have been as pure as those of Kentucky, Virginia, and other old States. But our county's record is at length stained by a foul, e murder, Some two or three months ago, William Hobdy, the son of a planter in this county, went with his wagon and team and a load of cotton to Grand score. At the expiration of the ti trips, a man by the name of Franks returned with the wagon, moving his family therein to Texas, and stating to the father of William Hobdy that he had one to Tennessee, and employed him (Franks) to Brite the wagon hom After the lapse of weeks, and perhaps months, nothing being heard from the young man, his father started in pursuit and search for any intelligence of him. Hearing that a muti- lated, vulture-eaten carcase of aman had been found some eight or ten miles this side of Grand Ecore, he examined the clothing and papers, and identified them as those of his son. Mr. IL. hay- ing gathered what information he could, and which led hin strongly to suspect Franks, returned. A. company of citizens from this town went in pursuit of the murderer, and apprehended Franks and a negro. Upon examination, Franks was. set at liberty, and the negro brought to this jail. His confessions were that he had seen the murder com- mitted—that the man was knoeked on the head with anaxe. The negro is of notoriously bad charac- ter; has once shotat Mr. Hunt, and two other times attempted murder. There being no le against him in this State, Mr. H. with a few, started with him to Louisiana, and_ report is, that he threw his clothes into the face of Mr. IT.’s horse, red and threw him; and before Il. recovered, or others came up, the negro escaped ne required for such Lady of the Lake left Lewiston, on Friday atternin, | at dorclock, and broke her rhaft at ten, tame night Capt, Eggleston threw over two anchors iumedintelys | Dut the vessel drifted some two mi fore she found | anchorage.

The woret of all troubles are now brewing’ re Theatrical Bowray Turatae.—Never have we seen a more bril- lant audience eollected within the walls of the Bowery than there was last evening ; the first tler of boxes was filled with most clegantly attired ladies, and every part of the house was crammed at a very early hour—in fact, the audience was just sucha one, both in numbers and intelligence, as actors love to play to, and managers to sce in their houses. The play was Bulwer’s beautiful one of the “Lady of Lyons,”’ Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wallack, Jr. taking the parts of Claude and Pauline; Gilbert was the bluff old Dumas, N. B. Clarke the revei 1 raject- ed lover Beauseant, Jordan his friend Glavis, Mrs. Gil- bert Madame Deschapelles, and Mrs. Sutherland Claude’s mother—thus every part was filled by an ar- tist thoroughly capable of doing it well, and the gctiug of all was most admirable. To say that Mr. and Mrs. Wallack were successful in the performance of their parte, would be but doing them small justice—they were most triumphant in them, and we may, with truth, use a figure of speech occasionally indulged in by enthusi- astic critics, and say “they carried the house by storm;”” for from the first eoene, where Claude receives back the lines which he “the Gardiner’s son’? had dar- ed to send to Pauline, the “beauty of Lyons,” to the yery lust one in the piece, the applause bestowed on these artists was loud and prolonged. The engage- ment of Mr. and Mrs. W. was an admirable move on the part of the manager, and the immense audiences that attend every evening show that the admiration of the public for the more elevated walks of the drama, is a# great as ever, and that they are always ready to pa- tronize such admirable acting as is now being given at the Bowery. We regret that our space does not per- mit us to enter more into details regarding the various joints in the acting of Mr. and Mrs, W. We must, owever, briedy say that they are certainly well enti- tled to the high stand in their profession which the ublic throughout the Union have accorded to them. The grand ballet of “Les Jardinieres” succeeded to the comedy ; it is a beautifully got up ballet, and night- ly increases in fuyor with the Bowery gudiences. The funny farce of “Your Life’s in Danger,” coneluded the performances, To-night the Wallacks appear in “ Othello’—Mr. W. the Moor, Mrs. W. as Ellie, and Miva Wemyss as Desdemona. The ballet and “Jenny Lind,” conclude the entertainments. Buoapwar Tueatxe.—The magnificent pageant of the “Enchantress” terminated its brief, but bright, existence last evening, expiring like Augustus, in per- fect good style, before a large audience, and ainid loud and rapturous applause. As Augustus said to his friends, on his death bed, “Friends, if I have played my part well, do you applaud me,” with that vanity which never deserts the hnman mind as long as it twinkles in its fragile and putrescent tenement ; #0 the “Enchan- tress,’ without much an appeal, departed this life last evening, amid spontaneous applause and admiration. Sic transit gloria mundi. In bidding farewell to this grand spectacle, which has fallen an carly sacrifice to necessary and prudential management, there are many who deserve to be highly commended for the share they have had in producing and adding to the effect of this beautiful operatic drama and work of genius and art. ‘The Seguins and the company have executed admira- bly, the libretto placed before them by the comporer; they are not responsible for the defects of the music, but the music itself owes very much to them and to’ the admirable orchestra for the precision and beauties of their joint execution. The Seguins and their talented company have added very sonaidarsbly to their already high and deserved reputation, by their admirable per- formances in this operatic drama. How shall we speak in adequate terms of the beauties of the ballet, the richness of the scenery, the talents of the artists and maochinists, aud all thé many and varied charms of art, nature and science, which have all united and com bined to enchant and delight the public in this most beautiful piece? And last, though not least, the enter- prising management, certainly, should come in for very great share of the well merited applause which belongs to this departed beauty—we might say, subli- mity—of the stage. This evening Hackett, the Ameri- can Falstaff, the beau ideal of Bhakepcare’s Falstaff, makes his first bow to the public, and will be welcomed by crowds of admirers. A new piece, also, isto be produced—“The Cocknies in California;”? th issure to be something highly amusing. Altogether, we expect that in the fresh and rich repast, now pre- pared by the attentive managers, the loss of the “En- chantress”’ will be forgotten amid the high seasoned daintion served up at fresh tables; and again the well satiefied palate of the public will forget the rich dishes it haseo lately been feeding on, in the excellence of the present new repast. Natioxat Tueatre.—This house was crowded last evening, as usual, and the adventures of “ Chiffinch, the Wandering Cockney Schoolmaster, in California,” the drama of the “ Dream of Life,” our famous b'hoy ‘ Moxe’s journey to the land of gold, and the faree of “Who Speake First?” were allplayed much to the ad- miration of the audience, We must say, if the farce of “ Cocknoys tn California” bas delighted the London folks so much ex we see it has according to the London papers, they would go into ecstacies at More's adven- tures on that modert Tom ‘Tidler’s ground, for Mr. Chapman’s piece is far superior in every respect to the London farce. The “ Dream of Life? i# a very inte- resting drama, and it bearsan excellent moral. We hope to ree it often played at the National. ‘The eom- bination rcene, with four divisions representing four different phases of the story, is most handsomely done. To-night we are to have great times at this house. First, Mra, Isherwood’s benefit is to come off; xecondly, {t will be the three hundredth time that Mr’ Chantrau, plays Mose; thirdly, the house is to be beautifully de- corated and illuminated on the occasion; and fourthly, the bill is a most excellent one. Now, on all these ac. counts, we may calculate on seeing a most crowded house. Moreover, Mrs. Isherwood is @ very great vorite, and well deserves a crowded benefit. ‘The per- formances will consist of the play of the “ Lady of Lyons,” Claude by Mr. Chanfrau, Pauline by Mrs, Ish- erwood; “ Mose in California,” and that cutting piece by Shovel & Spade, of * Tom and Jemmy.”? Besides this, Miss Vallee, Miss Gertrude Dawes, and Mr. Yates, Will all dance in the course of the evening. Bountox’s Tuxatnr.—This delightful place of enter- tainment was filled to overflowing, last evening, by a very fashionable audience, to witness three most eapi- tal pieces, called “ Socialism, or Modern Philosophy Pat in Practite,’ “The Toodles,” and “Forty Winks,” The first of these pieces was received with repeated rounds of applause, Mr, Fourier Grisley ereated much fun, as the dress worn by Mr. Brougham in the charae- ter ‘appeared to be wel er- formers sustained the “'Tocdles” is a very laughable piece, with well merited approbation. Blunders ina Bedroom,” eoneluded the eventags amusement, Tobias Muns, travelling for orders, by Mr. Burton, was a capital piece of acting, keeping the audience in one roar of laughter from the beginning to the end, To-night, * Dombey and Son,” and “ Social- ism,” two excellent pieces. Oxynric.The deserving machinist of this theatre, Mr. C. 8. Burns, a very competent gentleman, who has been for years attached to the fortunes of the Olympic, takes his benefit this evening. Several actors of talent have kindly volunteered their services, and amon them we find the name of Mr. Hicld, of the National Theatre, who will appear in the play of “Perfection.”? ‘The friends of Mr. Burns are numerous, and we have no doubt he will have a crowded house, Whexe 1s Mavamy Avcusta’—We have beard the enquiry made—where is Madame Augusta, the most amiable, beautiful, and most classical artist probably that ever was seen in America? She has not appoared in public for several months, in any part of the country, Upon inquiry, we find she has withdrawn from the pub- lie stage for a short space of time, in order to fulfill an amiable and important duty upon the private stage of life, which is equally interesting and important to the cause of civilization, as to the continuation of the hu- man race, The truth is, Mme, Augusta, about a fort- night ago, became the mother of a fine, hearty, fat young boy, to the great delight and enjoyment of her amiable and respected husband, Monsieur de St, James. This important family event will probably keep Mme Augusta in private life for a few months to come, but she will, we hope, soon be able, with renovated spirits, elastic foot, and smiling countenance, entirely renewed and revived, to appear again to the delight of the many and the enchanted audiences, which have greeted her in her brilliant career throughout the country.

My Dean Sin—I thank you for your attention in send- ing me the extract from the Atlas, professing to relate the circumstances attending the close of the late ope- ratic season in Boston, { have seen no Boston news. paper ince my return here, and know not what mis representations, other than those contained in this ex- tract, may have been published. Had such an artiele appeared in any journal of New York or Philadelphia, 1 should probably have deemed a reply unnecessary, from the belief that my character und standing with & large circle of friends, us well as with the public, needed no defence from such an assault, But as my visits to Bos- ton have been few and brief, and as | am comparatively a stranger there, I feel bound to correct the statements of the Atlas, which, uncontradicted, might prove of se- rious injury to me; and I must beg of you to reqest the editors of the .tlas, and of uny other newspaper that may have copied its articles, or published others of like tenor, to give place to the fucts | now send you, The Atlas suys:—* We understand that Mr. Fry has ne to ork, without paying his company here erformancos, ‘To all the principals, ex- cept Traffi and Benedetti, and to the whole chorus, he still owes a considerable sum, which he does not pay, notwithstanding the large receipts at his own benefit, He haa, in fact, failed, and these musicians will pro- bably have to whistle for their money.” Now, the facts are those :—The Itallan Opera com- ny has been employed by me ainoe the Ist of October last, and has performed in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston for six months, During that period, the salaries of all in any way employed have, in spite of continued and severe losses, been promptly paid every two weeks, except the salaries of one bulf of the company for the last two Weeks of the Boston season; and, during these last two weeks, four of the five principal singers, whore ralaries remained unpaid, had received the proceeds of large and profitable benefits, What the losses of this Boston season alone have been, you will judge from the following statement, which has been carefully taken from the books by the treasurer and the book-keupor, which statement they are prepared to verify:— Amount of receipts in Boston for thirty-eight operatic representations (including the onefor Mr. Fry's benefit on 4th April, which roduced $839 25.) and two coneerts—bo- ng the whole number of in the seuson of twelve we formances given ‘8, from Jan, 18 to April 4, 1849. cows eee vee vs o$1S,292 78 Amount of expenses paid in the same period, 16.314 52 Amount of lonses paid, $3,081 7 Balance of losses left unpaid—being excl ively sularies of a portion of the co all other bills and claims, without tion having been paid................ 986 80 Total of losses in Boston. ...... S Nentas = $4,008 27 $4, While in Boston, on the Ist of April, I foresaw that with the most liberal estimate of the receipts for the three remaining nights, including my benefit, there would be a deficiency of about one thousand dollars, and! mentioned to several friends and subscribers to the opera there, that I had then to leave for New York to obtain that amount, and return with it to Boston. In my absence, my agent paid every bill—exeept one of a small amount—that had been contracted by or for me on account of the Boston Opera Season, and also id the full amount of salaries due the orchestra, and frufi ani enedetti. To these he paid full salaries, in the expeetation of receiving frem me the amount ne- ceseary to pay full salaries to the remainder of the com- pany. But imy endeavors to obtain here the amount, were, for the moment, unsuccessful; and before I had time to return to Boston, to make explanations or ar- rangements, the unpaid portion of the company held a meeting, denounced me, appealed to the public, and some of them went so far as to break open the ward- robe and music rooms, and seize whatever they could lay their hands upon. I submit, therefore, that instead of leaving my com- pany “to whistle for their money,” “unpnid fer a month’s performances,” “notwithstanding the large receipts at my own benefit,” that Ihave used every exertion to meet my engagements to them; that after six months’ performances, by which 1 haye lost many thousands of dollars, I have only failed to pay, the day they were due, the salaries, for two weeks, of portion of the company; and that I have, with all the Boston receipts—including the receipts from my benefit—fallen bein ee 27 of the expenses, and have paid $3,081 77 of this loss, I am, very respectfully, Your friend and servant, EDWARD P. FRY. New York, April 9, 1849. ig moe by the Boston Atlas.) Mr. Epw. P. Fry.—We publish & letter from Mr. Fay, in reference to a paragraph which appeared in the Milas week ago. We were in error in stating that he was indebted to the ar fora month’s performances—it thould have been a fortnight; but in regard to the ex- ressions “that he had failed, and that they would ave to whistle for their money,” we merely exprossed, in other words, the statement made to the troupe by Mr. Dinmore, Treasurer, on Thursday morning, at the Howard Atheneum, He said“ that Mr. Fry had failed, ‘was a bankrupt, and would be unable to pay anything;” nd this statement was confirmed by Mr. Fry's attor- ey, Who said, “that there was no hope for the trou in New York, as Mr. Fry had not a five dollar bill in the world.” ‘Although we regret. extremely that Mr. Fry has been so unfortunate in his affairs, we cannot perceive that his letter at all disproves the statements made by his own agents, The troupe was certainly left here with something less than $1.000 due to them, which we cannot find has been since paid. We stated these facts merely toexplain the cause of the concert’s being given, and not from any eagerness to cast oblo- quy upon Mr, Fry, who will undoubtedly cancel his engagements towards the troupe whenever he is enabled 0 do RO, Cairornta Posr Ovvice AkRANGEMENTS.—Col, R. T. P. Allen, the newly appointed agent of the Pest Office Department for Califor and Oregon, passed through Baltimore this morning, on his way to New York, where he will take passage in the steamer Falcon, for Chagres, and thence proceed overland to his destination. Colonel A. is a native of Maryland, and was a distinguished graduate of West Point in 1834. He served with distinction in the Florida war, in the campaign of 1835 and 1836, at the conclusion of which he resigned, and was afterwards employed by the government in various stations. Ile will take charge of the mails by the Falcon, which, it is already known, will be very large; and will, on his arrival out, have the general charge of the Post Office Department. in Oregon and California. We understand that Mr. Jesse Slingluff Hambleton, (the junior member of the dry goods house of Hambleton & Sons, of this city,) will accompany Colonel Allen, im an official capacity, and that he also left, here this morning, for New York, to sail thence in the Falcon. Me Hambleton carries with him the best wishes of all who know him, for his welfare in the distant country to which he is going. ‘The duties which will be devolved upon these gentlemen will be most responsible; and, from the large number of emigrants who have gone out to California, leaving friends behind, who will be anxious to hear from them, the trust confided to them is one of particular and peculiar interest. We deem it fortunate that the government has been able to obtain the services of those who are so competent to perform the duties as the public interest requires they should be per- formed.—Baltimore Paper, April 15.
