SSS SSS New York, Arrival of the British Steamer at Boston— Details of the News, ‘The steamship Cambria arrived at Boston yes- terday, from Halifax, in time for the mails, and Jast evening we received the details of the news, and our correspondence at length. A full and com- plete résumé of the aflairs of Europe, briefly sketch- ed yesterday by telegraph, will be found in our co- lums to-day. The general impression produced by this news, does not vary from that which was expressed yes- terday at considerable length. Europe is in the | the throes of a transition state—she is in the com- mencementof avast and mighty change. ‘The event: | taking place there are only the beginning of a new and wonderful social and political reformation in human civilization. It was not to be supposed that the old dynasties of Europe, with the strength of a thousand years in their siaews, would succomb to the first outhreak of the spirit of the age, and sub- | mit to the new ideas at one fell swoop. Monarchy, | as a system of government, and privileged aristo- | cracy asa system of society, had been entrenched | in the old world for centurics, with seme few and | isolated exceptions. It was guarded and supported | by standing armies, numbering nearly two millions of people, and it was but natural to suppose that it would make a struggle to preserve its existence intact. War, however, still exists in detail in Ltaly and Germany, a. well as a war of opinion in France | and England. The contest will go on. In enumerating and grouping the different events in Europe since the receipt of the last intelligence, one of the most pregnant of them is the final dis- position which has been made of the faction of so- cialists, and the fall of the agitators in the French republic. Those disorganizing agitators—whether Fourierites, or red republicans, or socialists, or whatever else they may be called—have been ba- nished by the French government—some of them imprisoned; and we suppose others will meet a similar fate, if they do not conduct themselves with more propriety towards the existing condition of things in Paris. In this portion of the intelligence, we find that Albert Brisbane, well known in this city as the founder of the Fourierite movement, in connection with Horace Greeley, has been ordered by the French government to leave Paris and the limits of the republic, within twenty-four hours. Mr. Brisbane, it seems, has refused to leave the delights, and gaities, and excitements of Paris, at so short notice, or with his own consent. It is probable, therefore, that he will be sent out of the country by compulsion; and we may expect to soon see that interesting philosopher among his old associates and his old co-laborers—perhaps at the coming anniversaries, which will take place in the second week of May, when the Fourierites, or socialists, on this side of the water, will be in full play. It Recent Events iw Canapa—Tue Prosrecr Aneap.—The outbreak in Montreal, on Thursday night last, is only the beginning of some great revolu- tionary, if not radical, changs in the British colo- nial government. It was no sudden, unexpected, evanescent émeute. The public mind was prepared for such an occurrence, from the moment that the tone of the public press and publie feeling, and the contests of parties, assumed that character to which we have repeatedly, within the last few months, directed the attention of our readers. Un- questionably, a most important influence, in the production of this state of affairs, may be traced to the continual contrast which has been drawn, for years past, between the depressed and sinking con- dition of the colonies and the prosperity of the re- public on this side of the line. This recent out- break has convinced many who had paid compa- ratively little attention to the progress of affairs in Canada, that our correspondence and intelligence from those colonies meant more than met the eye. As the news of the émeute in Montreal reaches the other excited towns throughout the colonies, it 18 probable that great excitement will follow ; but the result is yet to be ascertained. We have no doubt that those towns will wake up, and that the whole population of British North America will be tho- roughly aroused, paving the way for an agitation of which it is difficult to predict the end with any degree of precision, One of the most ominous as- pects of these events in Canada is to be found in their striking and significant resemblance to the movements and agitations which ushered in the era of 1776 in the “old thirteen” colonies of Ame- rica. The parallel is prophetic. Now that the great question of Canadian affairs, which had been dividing itself in various direc- tions, has been opened up by the émeute in Mont- real, amid the flames of the Parliament House, we have no doubt the whole public mind throughout the British colonies will be directed to the present condition of affairs, their future prospects, and the policy of their continued connexion with the Bri- tish government, or their destiny in some other form. Many intelligent minds in Canada and Eng- land have looked upon the political condition of colonies merely in a lecal and personal point of view, considering the contest or difficulty a mere question of “spoils,” or the ascendency of one faction over another. There may be a great deal of truth and acenracy in this view of the matter; but there isa deep feeling beneath that surface, which will now be agitated to the bottom, and may start questions of much more serious magnitude than any we have yet seen presented. One thing is certain—the present condition of political affairs in Canada, cannot last long. ‘Their existing form of government has turned out a failure. The Bri- tish cabinet must be convinced by this time, that some new plan must be adopted fer the govern- ment ef those colonies, in order to preserve their cennection with the mother country fer any length of time. Ina variety of papers, and through nu- merous channels, and through various organs of public opinion, the question of entire separation from Great Britain has been moeted in Canada; been ‘discussed with a great deal of skill, and pressed by many, as the only and ultimate remedy for their grievances. Of course, that would be the last resort of the colonies. The feeling on this side of the line, towards them, has been very quiet; for here, and everywhere else throughout the United States, there has been a strong disposition to keep aloof; and while cherishing the sincerest sympa- thy for the Canadians, to allow them to settle their own difficulties according to their own prescrip- tions. Yet, although annexation to the United States has been mooted, we do not believe that any such result can be anticipated for some time to come. Other remedies of a more local and British charac- ter, springing from their concition, will be first at- may be recollected that Mr. Brisbane was the first person who introduced socialism into this country, and that his first convert to that new order of so- ciety and government, of any importance, was Horace Greeley, among the men; and a certain Miss Maria Blackwell among the women. Com- munities and phalanxes were established in various parts of the country—in Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania; but all those attempts at practica illustration of socialism, have failed, and ended in abortion and absurdity. Socialism has many sins to answer for. Every one is mourning over the melancholy fate of Italy, in her efforts for independence and nationality. The same feelings were entertained when popular prin- ciples fell, during last fall and winter, in Berlin and Vienna. The great revolution in France, and the establishment of a republic in that country, on what we conceive to be an immutable basis, led the way to the wonderful changes which took place soon afterwards in Germany and Italy. But what a prospect has there been presented already ! Everywhere despotism has prevailed over freedom, and in every nation has it’partially recovered its po- sition, except in France. Now, what is the cause ofall this? We need not go far@ut of our way to search for it. Simultaneously with the establish- ment of republicanism in France,, socialism unfortunately raised its head and fastened it- self to it. This socialism—a rank weed, ap- proaching to atheism—this frightful excresence on the body politic—almost destroyed the first germ of republicanism in France, and nothing but the union of all parties, (in which even the monarchists joined, and in so doing, laid aside their own peculiar dogmas,) preserved the republic as itis. But the greatest evil which socialism eaused, in reference to sound republicanism in Europe, is the restoration of monarchies! go- vernment in Germany and Italy. The monarchi- cal press of London, and those in combination with it, sounded the tocsin in relatien to socialism, blending socialism and democracy together, and the consequence was, that all men of intelligence —all practical and conservative men—in those countries, became alarmed. Hence the fall of republicanism in Germany and Italy. It may be all attributed to socialism. Similar attempts have been made in this coun- try to blend socialism of the wildest character with the progressive spirit of the age—with religion, as well as with the progress of our republic. In this region, socialism sometimes takes the shape of abolition, sowing the seeds of disunion between different portions of the confederacy. At other times ittakes the shape of irreligion and immo- rality, and attempts to invade the Christian code of morals. It is now very active in this city and other places, notwithstanding the failure of all the socialist communities, and of the numerous at- tempts that have been made to establish phalanxes in different parts of the country. Let us take warning. AG Eee Tur Forrian News anp Tuk Teirorarn.—tIt is a remarkable fact, that from the time when the associated press of this city first entered into an arrangement for receiving the foreign news by each arrival from Halifax, a distance of nearly a thou- sand miles, that they or their patrons have not been disappointed in a single instance ; nor has there been a single instance in which an important mis- take has been made. ‘This speaks volumes in favor of the management of the line of telegraph, and of the progressive enterprise of the age. Joun Mircne., tue Irish Parriotr.—We learn from Captain Foster, of the schooner May Flower, from Bermuda April 18th, that John Mitchel, the exiled Irish patriot, was to leave Bermuda in afew days, in the transport ship Neptune, for the Cape of Good Hope. AppiTionaL INTELLIGENCR prom Sr. Luc po aad a Tosie, by the way of I muda, are a little later. The Bermuda f the 10th inst., says :— Gaede, ot Additional troops bad arrived at St. Luc burning had been done in the country by the ince: diaries, Several additional eaptures had been i. ‘Tranquility had in ® great measure been resto Much eredit, it seems, is due to the recently arrive Africans, who defended the estates on which they were located with heroic zeal, tempted. One of the most feasible of these reme- dies would appear to be a national union ofall British North America, under one constitutienal form of government, in which the two Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and the other dependencies, might be united in one great country. To this union might be added the whole region north and west, to Vancouver's Island and the North Pole. If, in addition to this grand plan of creating a new national:ty in British North Ame- rica, the British government and British mercantile interests were to commence immediately the con- struction of a magnificent railroad from Montreal to the Pacific, by the most practicable route, thus opening a new channel of communication between China and the East, and Great Britain herself, they might be enabled to turn the energy, skill, enter- prise and national capacity of the British American colonics into a new and fortunate direction. Po- litics and commerce must go hand in hand in Anglo-Saxon aflairs. Trade and liberty are the bread and butter of Anglo-Saxon existence. The British territory in North America is greater in extent than the whole of the United States, and almost equal to that of the Russian empire. They possess means, and soil, and climate, and produc- tions of all kinds, and a race of people, if they were all banded together, sufficient to absorb the entire population of Great Britain and Ireland in one grand North American confederacy, under a con- stitutional government, which would speedily upset the French and English factions that now agitate unfortunate Canada; bringing into operation new elements of material, wealth and political and social prosperity, of the grandest and most imposing character. Thus they might prepare themselves for admission, in goed time, into the limits of this vast and growing republic of free States. Of couse the news trom Canada will now be looked for with intense and general interest. We await, with great curiosity and anxiety, the intel- ligence from the other towns throughout the pro- vinces. Later rnom Brazit.—The bark Oriole, Capt. Stump, arrived at Baltimore on Thursday frem Rio de Janeiro, whence she sailed on the 20th February. We copy the following extracts from a letter from the American :— Rio pw Janeino, Feb, 29, 1849. There is no change to note in our market. Coffee sells at 3/000 0 3/100, most all ordinary. This year’s crop will probably fall short of that of 1847 by some se- nty to ninety millions of pounds, or 400,000 bags, if the accounts from the interior are to be relied on, and all agree very nearly. ‘There are no freights offering to the United States even at 60 cents per bag, and there is no telling what the vessels now in port will do, ‘Thero ig not a single vessel now loading for any part of the Uni. ted States, A little coffee may go forward, but the prices in the States are little more than the cost here on board. Cargoes of flour continue pouring in on our glutted and depressed market, The estimated stock in first hands now is upwards of 37,000 bbls. and in second hands about 39,000 bbls. Richmond City Mills may be quoted at 16) # 17/(000. Columbia 15/000, and Baltimore and other brands at 14) a 14/500 per bbl. by retail. Our advices from Pernambuco are tothe 27th ult., when flour was without demand, the nominal retail prico ing 16/000 a 19/000, the latter for Richmond, At Bahia, Sd inst. the stock was about 7,500 bbls. and quotations nominal at 15000 for Ballimore, and 174000 for Rich- mond. At Montevideo, 12th ult., the stock in all hands was cetimated at 10,000 bbls, and no demand whatever for the article, At Buenos Ayres, 15th ult., the crops are reported as abundant—tho last sale of American flour was the cargo of the bark Ruth, from Baltimore, on terms equal to $475 per bbl We are also indebted to an esteemed friend for the perural of a leiter from Rio, dated Feb. 20, fiom which we tuke the annexed account of th émeute which took place at Pernambuco on the 2d March ) aring of this state of things, (the battle at Pernambuco, on the 2d of Marel,) and know- ing full well that the Santa Luzia party was very stro in Rio, came down from Petropolis, his rosidence, yes: terday, and immediately dissolved the Chambers. Wo have yet to see what effect this step will have on the oaltion; but it can scarcely bo believed there that servo to keep them quiet, Business is at tand. and confidence altogether ruinud by the polit outbreaks, Tho great object en t rt of the Santa Luzia party, appears to be to expe Pore tuguese from the country, or, if not from the country, at least to prevent them from holding any public oftice. It is hard to tay, however, what they want; in faot, I doubt much whether they know themselves what they actually do want, ‘ By the brig Anna, Captain Fowler, arrived at this port yesterday, we are in receipt of two days later accounts than the above, and files of the Jornal do Comercio, to the 22d, They contain nothing more of interest. City Intelligence. —A fire broke out about one o'clock on Thurs- day morning, in the porter cellar of J. B, Green, in tho rear of the City Hotel, the contents of which were des- troyed, No other damago was sus’ sined. ‘Tur Montcomeny Guanns, one of our uniform compa- nies, paraded the principal streets on Thursday even- ing making a most soldierly and imposing appearance After parade, they stacked arms in the Park and took refrerchment. ‘Tho company turned out 50 muskets on the cecasion. Mysterious Arra:n.—Under this head, we noticed « singular affuir in finding a newly born infant in a carriage, and tho arrest of # female by the name of Sarah Montross. on suspicion of infanticide. This Woman, it appears, is a resident of Peekskill, up the North river, and was recognised yesterday by Mr. Cockefair, the efficient Deputy Coroner, as the same individual who. two years ago. was detected in disposing of anew born infant in a sink, at the dwelling housy N+, 200 Chambers street. At that time sho took lodging, and during that evening she was seen to throw the child down the sink. It was then supposed by the Coroner that she was the mother ef the chitl, but no evidence appeared to that effect any more than suspicion, and as no particular marks of viol were visible on the child, she was liberated from tody. ‘This singular woman is very rospectably con- nected, and is the mother of six grown-up children and has been a widow for several years past. She posi- tively asserts, as on the former occasion, that the child did not belong to her, although the cireunstances almost fix it upon her beyond # doubt, The Coroner committed her to the Tombs until the result of the inquest, which will be held this foronoon. Usxxnown Man Drowven.—The Coroner held an in- quest yosterday, at the Alms House yard, on the body of an unknown man, found floating in the North River, foot of Watts street. The deceased appearel to bo about twenty-five years of age, dressed in red woollen under shirt, striped’ blue overcoat, black woellen pants, and heavy boots—supposed to have been in the water two weeks, Verdict—Death by drowning. Axotuen—Tho Coroner held an inquest also, on ano- ther unknown man, about thirty years of age, found in the North River, near Pier No. 3, (appeared to bo a sal- lor.) dressed ina blue roundabout jacket, blue vost and nts, blue shirt and white woollen draw Verdict— eath by drowning. Brooklyn City Intelligenee, ustices? Counrs.—It seems to be a inatter of some conjecture as to the precise location of the courts to be held by the Justices of the Peace, in this city. The intention of the law seems to have been to establish them in different parts of the eity, so that they could be more easy of avcess to those requiring their ju diction, ‘The city has been divided into two districts, and the newly elected officers were styled on the ballots, “ Jnstice of Peace for the 1st district,”—* Justice of the Peace of the 2d district,” of the city of Brooklyn. The Common Council, it scems, have refused to provide court rooms for these officers, and ono of them threatens to hold his court in Gowanus, where he resides, unless a room is specdily obtained, Justice ‘We aro happy to learn that this gentleman has recovered from his recont severe attack, and is now able to attend to his business. Yesterday afternoon he made his appearance at the City Hall, from which place he has been absent for a poriod of about five weeks. Missinc.—Tho Advertiser states that an aged gon- tleman named Dwenger has been missing for some time past, When last secon he was near the Pering Lidge, at Gowanus. Might not this be the unknown person Who was found drowned at Red Hook, on Wed- nesday night, over whose body the coronor held an in- quest? Tr Lanixs.—The dwelling house occupied by Mr. J. W. Pinkey, corner of Hoyt wnd Atlantic strocts, ws entered on Wednesday night last, and Mr. P.’s loons carried off, with about $40 in money, On 1 day morning, just before daylight, the house of Mr. W. H. Hazard was also entered, and’ property amounting to about $10 stolen. Pouce News.—T'wo little girls, (we forbear mention- ing their names on account of their youth,) were par- tially examined before Justice Atwator, yestorday, on a charge of stealing $100 in money from Mr. George Per- kins, of Willoughby street. During the examination, the justice imagined he Id gluau something which would implicate others in the affair, and accordingly postponed the examination until the District Attorney could be present to hear tho evidence, ‘Acewent.—An Irish laborer, while employed in making an excavation in Bergen’s Hill, was consider- ably injured in consequence of tho falling of a large quantity of earth upon him, He was taken to the hospital. Police Intelligence; Charge of Grand Larceny.—Ofticer Van Court, of the 5th ward, arrested, yesterday, » young woman’ by the name of Matilda Edmonds, on the charge of stealing a gold watch and gold pencil, a silk dress, hat, and ether articles, in all valued at near $100, belonging to Isabella Stewart, residing at No, 34 Reade street. It appears the accused boarded with the complaing and on Sunday last, while Isabella was taking her tea, she packed up tho articles and left. On the arrest of the accused, the watch, peneil, and other articles were recovered by the Ofiicers. Justice McGrath committed the accused to prison, for trial, “rrest on Suspicion.—Officer Roo, of the 3d ward, arrested, yesterday, two feliows called Jeseph Lawrence d Michael Donnelly, on suspicion of stealing from the dwelling house, No. 7 Catharine streot, $63, It seems these twe young inen took lodgings at the house, and soon after they left in the morning, the monvy was missing. Taken from a Thief —Officers Shadbolt and Walling, of the lower police, took from a thief, yosterday, » silver detached lever watch, M. I. Tobias & Co., makers, Liverpool. No. 8,650, with silver dial, for which an owner is wanted. Apply to the above named officers at the Tombs, . The thief was committed to prison. Defrauding a Stranger.—Oficer MoLaughlin, of the 5th ward police, arrested, yesterday, a man by the name of George Stanly, on a charge of selling n ticket for $2 80 to George W. Chadwick, of Cincinnati, purporting to carry him as far as Utica; instead of which, the agents In Albany would not take it. Chadwick then returned to this city yesterday morning. and went to the office kept by Stanley, and asked him for the money back. This Stanley refused to do, and while he was standing in the oilice with tho ticket in his hand, a runner, by the name of Sabine Joseph, snatched it from his possession and walked off. Chadwick followed after, and caused his arrest. Justice MeGrath held Stanloy and Joseph both to bail in the sum of $300 each, to answer the charge. Dishonest Boys.—T'wo boys, about the age of 14 years, by the names of John Garvey and ‘Thomas Brennan, were arrested yesterday, on a charge of stealing a lot of brass castings belonging to their employer. Mr. A. W. Metcalf, proprietor of the brass foundry, No, 76 Centre street, A portion of the property was found in their possession, Justice McGrath committed them to pri- son, to answer the charge. .—A man, by the name of Jonathan , yesterday, on a charge of forging land warrants; he was detatued on the charge. Arrest of a Fugitive.—Officer McGuire, of the 4th ward, arrested, yesterday, a man by the name of James Harrington, on a charge of being a fugitive from New Brunswick. N. J., where he stands charged with steal ing a watch valued at $40, the property of James f ding. On searching the prisoner, a pawn ticket w found, showing that he had placed the watch in pawn. Tho magistrate locked him up, to await a re,uisition from the authorities of New Jersey. Superior Court. Before Judge Sandford, Arai 27.——Lawrence Hill vs. Wright § Lossee.—This was an action to recover damages for an alleged breach of contract. It appeared the defendants entered into a written contract with the plaintiffs, on tho 26th of February, 1547, for the sale and delivery of 4,000 bush- els of rye, of Sb ibs. to the bushel, at 90 cents per bush- cl, to be delivered immediately after the opening of the navigation of tho North River, at the port of New York, and to be paid for in cash on delivery. The fol- lowing words were also insorted: “It ix understood the boat should have tia to come from Albany.”” On the 20th of March the defendants received a cargo of rye from Hudson, and made a tender of it to plaintiff, but he refused to receive it, unless it was delivered at the Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn, which the defendants declin- ed, and the rye was sold at $5 cents per bushel. Mat- tera stood over until the 17th of May, when tho plaintiff ude a demand on the defendants to deliver the rye, and they refused. The detence was, that defendants were agents for Messrs. Mellen, of Hudson, and, at the request of plaintiff, signed the contract in their own names; that on the 26th of March, a cargo of rye con- signed to them from Hudson, arrived in this city, of which they made a tender to plaintiff, which he refased, unless it was delivered at the Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn —which raised tho question whethor the Atlantic Dook was within the port of New York. It subsequently ap- peared that only 3,200 bushels had arrived in this city, which was 800 bushels short of the quantity to be deli- vered; and the Court also decided that upon the true con- struction of the agreement, the plaintiff was not bound to accept the tender until the navigation of the Hudson river was open to Albany, which was on tho 8th or 9th of April, and allowing a day for the boat to make a trip from thence to this port, sho could not be here before tho 10th or 11th, upon oithor of which days,as the ease might be, the defendants were bound to delivor, and the plaintiff to accept, Upon the fact that there were only $200 bushels on board the boat that arrived from Huson, and the decision of the Judge on the construe- tion of the article, the defence was given up, and the only question the’ jury had to decide upon was, as to the price of rye on the 10th or 11th of April, it being the incasure of damages to which tho plaintui would be entitled. No eviuence of the stato of the market was given on these days, but it was shown that from the 20th of March to the 5th of April tho markets were down; that rye was selling from 86 to 873 and 90 cents « bushel, and that on the 16th of April it wi cents a bushel, and continued to rigo until U May, Upon this point the Court left it tothe jury to decide, from the state of the markets betore and after the 10th or 11th of April, what would bo tho measure of damages the plaintiff would bo entitled to, Sealed verdict to-morrow (this morning) Before Chief J co Oakley.

The house was very much erowd- 2 last evening, and the performance of “Hamlet? forded Mr. Wallack an opportunity of appearing in » character quite different tn. style from any he has yot attempted during his present engagement. He played the part of the noble Dane with much judgment; and the applause throughout was considerable, Candidly speaking, however, we must sey that he doos not ap- pear to-s0 much advantage in this part as he doos (a many others. ‘There was a redundancy of gesture and action about him, which we thought searcoly suitable to the deep-thinking. contemplative character which Shakspeare wrote. This fault (wt least to our taste) was more especially apparent in the scenes with the ghost, in the first act. Mrs. Wallack played the Quoen admirably, Mr. Gilbert was the Polonious of the even- ing; ho played it well. We were glad to hear the ad mirable advice which Pelonious gives to Laertes on hi: departure, spoken last evening. On some stages it ia omitted, very foolishly, we think, as it is one of the finest and trucet pi of all Shakspearo’s writings, N. B. Clarko, as the Ghost, did well; we would, how- ever, protest against enveloping the “buried majesty of Denmark” in such a dusky robo asthe ghost wore last night, We think a plain suit of sable armor would be more appropriate, Ophelia was well played by Miss ‘Taylor, snd the tragedy wont off well. To-night, tho “Bridal,” which was s0 trinmphantly successful the other evening, will be played again, with the same cast of characters. The farce of “Your Life's in Danger,” and the “Malediction,”” will conclude the entertain- ments Buoanway Treatee.—Last night, Mr. Forrest ap- peared as Damon, in the celebrated drama of * Damon and Pythias.” We have no hesitation in declaring our opinion of Mr, Forrest in this character, that it is de- eidedly one of his best performances—one in which all that peculiar and brilliant genius and rich idiosyn- crasy of talent which distinguish this great actor, is pre-eminently elicited. It is a character happily suited to the bold energy of action, to the profound in- tensity of feeling, to the labered depths of passion, of which Mr. Forrest is capable, perhaps more than any living actor, and which ho displays with more accu- mulation of intensity, perhaps, than any other actor. Mr. Forrest, in his line, is more truly # child of un- tutored nature than of elaborated art—ho is more the bold delineator of wild emotions than the delicate portrayer of fine and classical conceptions. It may said, in reference to his peculiar style of acting, that he is to the stage what the bold free warrior of the aboriginal American raco is to the vast woods of his native land, and not what the refined and effominate courtier is to the drawing room. ‘Thore is excellence in both spheres; each is an arena for the exhibition of consummate ‘art. For ourselves, as Americans, we prefer the unsophisticated energy of the daring child of nature to the more glossy polish of the artificial European civilian; yet each may be excellent in his own style, without collision, Some prefer the toga, some prefer the tomahawk, Fer our part, we like them both in their proper places. The other cast was excel- lent on this occasion, and we regret that the all-ab- sorbing interest of the great American tragedian bas s0 completely swallowed up all our time and space as to leave no room for notice of other artists equally me- ritorious in their several parts and efforts, and each necessarily cqually conducive to the effeot and per- fection of the whole representation, Nationa Tuxatne.—Mr. Peterschen’s bonofit was well attended, Inst evening, and the entertainment were finely received. We regretted to hear that Mrs. Isherwood was indisposed. Mra, Chapman, however, took her part in the * Lost Diamonds,’ and played it well, Hield and Mra. Woodward, as usual, were very cflective in this piece, The story of it is quite an in- teresting one, The denouement, however, is scarcely ag effective as it might be. After some dancing, Mr. Chanfrau appeared as Jorry Clip, in the “ Widow's Vie- tim.’ and his various imitations of celebrated actors were finely received. ‘The rest of the performances passed off with much success. ‘To-night, the “ Lady of Pyons’ is to be played—Chanfrau as Claude Melnotte; ‘Miss Mestayer a8 Pauline, ‘The “ Mysteries and Mise- ries’? will also be played, with all the original raciness. This is the last night it can be played, as the new pieces on hand must haye a chance to be acted next week, Berton’s TueatRe,—The much admired comedy of «Dombey and Son” was played, last evening, to a very full and fashionable audience, and it is needless for us to assert that the audience were delighted with the performances. As to the piece itself, the cast of cha- raters is enough to insure the reader that the piece was played in a style not to be surpassed. Captain Cattle, by Mr-Burton; Edith, by Mrs, Knight; ‘Toots, by Mr. Raymond; Mrs. Skewton, by Mrs. Vernon; and Joo Bagstock, by Mr. Brougham, together with the other talented sctors, made the picce complete. Tho audience showed their approbation by renewed ap- plauso. The after-plece consisted of tho over-pleasing local satire, called “Socialism, or Modern Philosophy Put in Practico.”” This satire is becoming quite a fa- yorite, a all understand it. The comical character, Mr. Fourier Grisley, by Mr. Brougham, kept the audi- ence in full laugh the whole performance. To-night, a good bill is offered—* Forty Winks,’ “ Socialism,” and the “ Capture of Captain Cuttle.”” ‘wnusty’s Mixstrets—Invigorated and refreshed by their country tour, will return to their head-quarters, Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday evening next, and recom- mence their admirable concerts.

Court of Special Sessions. Before the Recorder and Aldermen Fitzgerald and Dodge. Arnn. 27.—At the opening of the Court of Special Sessions, this morning, twenty-seven prisoners appeared as candidates for justice. Several of the Tombs’ law- crs were seen hovering about the prisoners’ box, pick- ing up jobs. Old Hays keeps his eye on his chargo. Presently, he observes one of the lawyers approaching a client, and is just about to hold a consultation, when the High Constable, jealous of his charge, orders him back. The lawyer appeals, says he wants to speak to his client—no go; the High Constable is invulnerable. Lawyer—May it please the Court, I want to speak to my client Hic Constante Hayes—I aint going to let these lawyers take prisoners from the box, while they are under ay charge, (pushing the prisoner back to his place. ‘The Court finally permitted the counsel for the pri- soner to converse with him; but commended Mr. Hayes for his fidelity to the charge entrusted to him, Anthony Jeffersen, a black boy, charged with steal- ing a coat, was then called to the bar; he was attended by counsel, who, in answer to the Clerk’s interrogatory, of “ Guilty or not guilty,” answered “ Guilty.”’ Prisonen—No, | aint guilty. Counse1—You'd better picad guilty, and the Court will send you to the House of Refuge. Pxrisonen—No, I won't; I didn’t steal the coat, Couxseu— But you took the money. There was no theft of money charged in the com- plaint, but when the counsel found that the client would not plead guilty to tho theft of the coat, ho ac- companied the complainant into the police office, where a new complaint was lodged against the black boy, and on this last charge he was convicted, and sont to the House of Refuge. Heaven save us from our friends ! Ronent Faxatt was placed at the bar, charged by his wife, Ellen Farrall, with having misused her. She said that her husband never trusted her with the moncy which he earned, but placed it in his mother’s hands, and that whenever she wanted any trifleshe was obliged to go to her mother-in-law and ask for money, and re- turn the change to her, as if sho herself had no right to it. All this Ann thought was hard treatmont, but of this che had not complained till the 19th of March, when her husband abused her, took her by the throat, and thrust her out of doors, and committed other acts equally unconjugal. Fanrace admitted that what she said was true. He said that he gave his wife a good home at his mother's house, and that she had everything necessary for her comfort, Ho brought home the mongy that he earned and threw it upon the table, and his mother took charge of it. On tho night of the affair alluded to in the complaint, ho went homo a little in liquor, and to i his wife to pull off his boots, and she refused ; 1 nsiste she mould, and sho wouldn't, so! pushed her he dow pconper—Why didn’t you pull off your own boots? Parsonen—-Well I was a little in liquor, Tho brother and sister of the prisoner were here in- troduced in turn as witnesses, and gave the defendant @ good character. When the testimony was all in, the counsel for tho prisoner approached the bench, and devoted somo timo to alow conyorsation with the Alderman at the Re- corder’s right hand, having coneluded which, he ad- dressed the Recorder in the same low tone, when the Recorder repli in a toneaudible to all in court — “T have been waiting, sir, for you to get through your conversation with the Alderman. We have had no op- portunity to confer as yet.”” ‘The young lawyer evidently felt the rebuke, which was thus so politely administered, and, taking the ean left the bench to the unaided performanoo of its duties. The Recorder administered a rebuke in good terms to the prisoner, advising him to seek his wife's confl- dence, and, in return, show her by his acts that he had contidenoe inher. “She is your partner for lids,” suid tho Recorder, “and has her rights, which ought to be observed. Don’t take her by the throat—sho may have some fire about her—but you must try to live peaceably. Tho court find you guilty, but su:pend judgment, Thore, you may go home.

Our Washington Correspondence. Wasnixcto, April 26, 1849. The Virginia Elections—What are to be the Chances for the Next Con Ttems of the Evening. The Virginia elections came off to-day. ot, wo hayo no returns; but rumor predicts, the loss of thr this four, or fiv bcm | members of the House, there is a probability the noxt Congress willjbe de- mocratiec in both ends of the Capitol. Insuch an ovent, whatever may be the recommendations of Genoral Taylor to the two houses, he will be reduced to the alternative of endorsing democratic measures for two years tocome, He will be powerless to revive the old whig policy, and will be compelled toa conservative line of conduct. Mr. Webster went down to Virginia too late to doany good, and too soon to prevent any harm by his visit, if the experience of 1840 is of any value, A Virgini Whig is lowe a whig,in the abstract, than a Pennsyly: nia democrat, and Mr. Webster belog of tho straitest sect of Massachusetts, is not calculated to do much service by his presence for a whig election in the lati- tude of the Dismal Swamp. Rumor, however, may be in advance of the actual stato of the case, and Virginia may turn out bottor than the “lone star’ which is prophesied for the admin- istration. Tho cabinet continue severally to act upon somo small appointments, the heavy cases being reserved for @ full board. Egbert Benson, this ovening, is reported to havo the ropes well adjusted forthe New York marshalship. If he is to be the mam, Mr. Fuller will have to look out for something else.’ Mr. Webster, who has a voico in the matter of appointments, is in favor of Mr. Benson, a8 understood. Gov. Seward left this evening for Charleston, as an advocato in some patent case, He appears to bo well satisfied of the prospects of his friend Taylor for the post office, and of some other man than John Youn, for collector, Free soil and anti-rentism do notin cuses coalesce.

Friday, April 27—6 P, M. ‘The news from Europe is not so favorable, in a finan- cial or commercial point of view, as anticipated, but it is full as encouraging as might have been expected from the position of affairs in Europe, at the departure of the previous packet. Amidst all the changes in the markets, and fluctuations in prices, money continues abundant, and confidence unimpuired. This is the most favorable feature of the news, and there is little probability at present of any change in this particular. So long as the markets continue inactive, and prices so much reduced, money must remain easy, and diffl- culty will be experienced in employing capital in the channels of trade. The rate of interest continues de- pressed to the lowest points, The decline in cotton is attributed, first, to the large supplies, and second, to the inactivity in the manufac- turing districts. It is expected here that the accounts which were forwarded by the Hermann, relative to the destruction of the cotton crop, by snow and frost, will have a favorable effect on prices and on oporations in Liverpool; but wo are under the impression that speou- lators will be disappointed in this, as the advices which immediately followed those sent by the Hermann wore of a more satisfactery character, and were calcula- ted to induce operators on tho other side to wait the arrival of next steamer, Tho advance in breadstuffs ia more encouraging, and it will, without doubt, give an impetus to shipments from this country. We have shown, by official returns, that the exports of flour,_ grain, &¢., have been very largo, in the face of depress- ed and depreciating prices abroad ; and itis but rea- sonable to suppose, that any improvemont in prices would give greater activity to shipments. This intelli- gence comes at a very opportune moment—upon the opening of canal navigation in this State—as it will, as it spreads through the Western country, bring out sup- plies, and be of vast importanco to the producing classes. Any improvement in prices for any of our staple products, early in tho season, before sepplics have left the hands of tho producing classes, is moat desirable, a8 it benefits thoso who aro best entitled to it, and places speculators in the position they should always occupy. Woe trust this advance in England will be sustained until an opportunity is afforded to fill tho markets of that country. Accounts from Great Britain relative to the growing crops, will henceforth bo important and interesting, as it is #0 difloult to tell what a day may bring forth, with such # variable eli- mate and limited territory. We shall have another steamer—America—along next Thursday, with sevom days later news. Tho stock market opened rather heavy this morning, the result, partially, of the complexion of the European news. The Cambria did not bring so much specie as . expected.
