‘Theatrical and Music: Bowsay Tuzarne.—Last evening tho tragedy of “Macbeth” was performed at this house, in excellent Style, with the same cast of characters that has given 80 much satisfaction of late—Mr. Hamblin, Mr. Ryder, and Mrs. Shaw, taking the prinoipal parts, “Macbeth”? is ever 4 popular play, and when the prominent cha- Tacters axe so well filled as they are at the Bowery, it ix certainly a great treat to the lover of Shakspeare’s wri. tings to see it on the stage. We have on frequent oc- casions noticed at length the acting of those now play- ing in it ; we will now only say that last night's per- formance was equal to any of the preceding ones. Af. ter the tragedy, “ Kathnrine and Petruchio” was per- formed, Mr. Hamblin (whose benefit night it was play- ing the part of Petruchio, for the first time in many years; iiss Wemyse taking the part of the shrow, ate, who is so effectually tamed. Mr. Hamblin enacts such parts very well indeed; and last night he was much applauded, us was also Miss Wemyss, During the coming week we are to haye more Shakaperian plays, produced on the same magnificent scaleas here- ofore, Bnoapway Tueatae.— Monte-Cristo’ was again per- formed at this elegant theatre last evening, and hav- ing exhausted, we had almost, said the treasury of lan- Buage in describing the magnificent style in which it has been presented to the public, and the ability of the actors and actresses engaged in it, we need not now» after a brilliant career of fifty-six nights; go over the same ground. We must, however, reiterate our admi- ration of the mode in which the prison scones are enacted, In them there are some very fine pieces of acting.which scem to touch the very heart of the audi- ence; while the imprisonment of Edmond Dantos, after- wards Count of Monte-Cristo, is a terrible illustration of the treachery of the world. The speeches of the Abbe Faria, a prisoner in the Chateau d’If, (Mr. Fred- ericks,) as to the probability of all the nations of Eu- rope imitating the glorious example of America, drew forth the most hearty response. The whole perform- ance was received with unmixed gratification, Nantonat Trratre.—Two lively farcos were played last evening previous to the Enchantor.” ‘They were, “PN be Your Second” and “The Kiss in the Dark,” and afforded a vast deal of amusement. The first one is one of the most laughable trifles we have ever seen. ‘The acting of Mr. Chapman, as the man ever ready to “be your second” was most comical. ‘Tho scone where Hie gets three adversaries against him at once, thus il- lustrating the famous triangular duel, was received In the second firee, Mr, Chan- 8 piece (“The Kiss in the Dark”) is likewise a very funny pean poor Pet- tibone (Chapman) afforded fun enough to the audience, Tho “Enchanter” concluded the evening's entertain- ments, It ‘sas played for the last time. As a specta- cle, it is very beautiful, though deficient in interest in story. During the coming week we ure to have several novelties. Mr, C. W. Clarke will also appear. Burton's Tueatre.—Last evening Mr. Brougham took his benefit, and such, indeed, it was, in every sense of the word. The house was so crowded, that ven standing-room was out of the question, and the heat was most oppressive. The popular piece lof “ Dombey and Son” was tho leading entertainment; land, judging from the manner in which it was re- ceived, we can say that it has not lost any of its at- tractions. Captain Cuttle was himself at all points, His lronical laudations and his cockneyisms told with he most laughable effect. The rough, straight-up nd-down, philosophical, and logical jack Bunsby reated the usual amount of fun. The applause hich rewarded his efforts was as liberal as it was ordial. The cold and heartless character of Dombey ‘ag:woil played by Mr. Lynne. The representation was not, because it was truthful, complimentary to human nature; but this is an enconium upon the actor. The other performance went off to the satisfaction of the udience. Castie Ganpen.—The usual Sunday evening concert ll be given here this sreniag. The Brass Band (the [New York) are well capable of giving the various pivcos et down in the programme with the best effect. We need not point out what # delightful promenade can be had around the spacious hall ofCastle Garden. It s the grandest in the country. Tur Ditins at tHe Tanerxacir.—These eminent musicians announce four grand concerts at the above lace, commencing on Tuesday evening noxt; and as Ehey are about to return to Europe very shortly. our citizens, and all those who have not yet heard them, hould do so now, for their music is, undoubtedly, the most tful that can be hoard on either side of the ‘Atlantic. Remember Tuesday, at the Taber- Denrsrrn’s Coxcent.—Those who wish to while away n evening to advantage in hearing beautiful ballads, executed in the most plaintive and touchidg style, had better visit the Tabernacle to-morrow evening. The nme contains many of his favorite and much dmired songs. Among thein are several thrilling Scotch ballads, Crnisty’s Mixstrecs.—The dark side of things ought not always to be looked upon, it is ; but the dark pide of the Christy faces may always be looked upon ith satisfaction, as they are the jollicst and most musing set of darkies ever collected. They go on fa- ously with their concerts, and during next week will ntroduce a variety of new features. Mx. Vacre’s benefit will take place at the Broadway heatre on Monday evening. We hope it will be ‘ended by the numerous admirers of his sterling abili- 78 as an actor. Camrprte’s Mixstrecs have created quite a furor in heir favor ; they have much improved since their late our, and their new songs, &c. are nightlyjreceived with uch applause. They will continue during the ooming eek, Movet or New Yorx.—An elegantly constructed model of the entire city of New York, with its public Puildings, private dwellings, parks, fountains, and teamboats, will be exhibited, every day, at the Minerva oma, from 9 A.

R INTELLIGENCE BY THE Our Washington Corresponience, Wasuinaton, May 13, 1349, Drayton and Sears—The Negro Refuseea—Tom Hand—The Government Jewele—-The Sentence ~doers forty-one indictments against Daniel Drayton, charging him with the larceny of seventy four negroes, and carrying them away from this district in the schooner Pearl, in April, 1343. A year ago he was convieted oa one of the indict. ments, The circuit court, ona writ of error, re- ferred back the matter to the criminal court for a new trial, in effect under instructions, namely ;— If the jury believed that he did not remove the ne- groes to convert them to his own use, they were bound to acquit. The case having been, according- ly, again tried at the present term, the prisoner was acquitted. The United States Attorney, determined to send Drayton to the penitentiary, engaged the professional services of General Walter Jones, at ahundred dollars a day, for three or four days; but even the pleadings and powerful arguments of this father of the bar did not avail, and the jury, im this case, likewise, rendered a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Key, failing to convict, this morning en- tered a nolle prosequt, and thus swept off thirty-nine indictments at a single lick! A jury was empan- nelled, and Drayton, and Sears, the captain of the Pearl, were to be tned for “transporting” the aforesaid seventy negroes, and there were ag many indictments pending against each of these whites, ‘Yo make short work of the business, these were lumped, and, after a shadow of a trial, the jury reg tired—the foreman carrying away with him the bundle of indictments. “In the course of fifteen minutes, the jury returned, and rendered a verdict of guilt ‘The Judge requested: Drayton to standup, and addressed him as follows:—** Drayton, you have been convicted on a large number of indictments, (I don’t know how many,) for transporting slay out of the District of Columbia. It is utterly u less for the Court to talk to you about the enormity of the oflence ; your own sense of propriety must convince you of its extent. I have never before seen anything like it. The sentence of the court is, that you pay a fine of $140 in each case. (g10,- 360.) I have reduced the fine on each case $10, because you have already been in jail one year. One-half of this fine goes to each owner, accord- ing to the act of Maryland, 1796.” [We believe the other portion is to be given to schools or to roads. ‘*Mr, Sears, stand up. You have been convict: of the same crime. You must feel the enormity of ysur offence, and gross violation of law you have committed against the peovl of this District. You came here in a vessel, and secretly carried off more than fifty thousand dollars ean of property. ‘The outrage is unparalleled. You, however, appear to have been an instrument in the hands of others —of those in high places, who, under the-garb of philanthrophy, despoiled citizens of their property. They, too, ought to be punished. Drayton was the next highest in guilt to yourself, and you seem to have been the tool—the catspaw. In considera- ion that you have committed the, smaller crime, and have alr lain one yearn jail, the sentence t the court is, that you pay a fine of $100 in each case. ($7,400.) ‘The prisoners were conducted back to their old | quarters in the jail. Drayton has become fat im his confinement, and appears to be an involuntary philosopher, but Sears is suffering from ill-health. ‘They who got these men into the scrape, are loth to helpthem out of it. Tom Hand, altas Jacob Shuster, was brought into court to hear his doom. Three weeks ago, his counsel made an application for a third or new trial, and now the Judge proceeded to give his de- cision. One of the grounds for the motion was, that the jury had been tampered with, by an officer giving to them a copy of the Natonal Police beer phitispe strictures in relation to the trial. Thi a _ This was of no weight, as the twelve jurors had signed a paper, stating that the newsp: ticle made no impression upon their mu that their verdict was predicated on the evidence alone. ‘The affidavit of Mulloy was merely hear- say. The next point is, the separation of the jurors. The evidence showed that two of them went down stairs to get their dinners in the basement, and were afterwards joined by the deputy marshal. On another occasion, a juror, with a boil on his arm, js made on board, at Pior No. Ut | retired alone, to have it dressed by his sister. But the question was, did the separation work injury to the defendant? There was no evidence to show that the jurors were tampered with. On the con- trary, they were eating where the prisoner’s wife was staying, and if there was qny tampering, it must have been on that side. The third objection is, that the oflicer who attended the jury was not sworn. ‘This,as in the other two instances, wa an irregularity ; but unless it appears that it had am unfair influence on the jury, it is not a ground for anew trial. The great object of granting a new trial 1s not to correct an irregularity, which the court condemns, but to repair, in cases where in- justice has been done to the accused. The fourth point is, new evidence, proposing to show that, the day after the robbery, a colt, or billet, which Jing Webb had, was found in the room where the theft was committed, and that Webb requested the persom who swore to the affidavit to say nething about the matter, or words to that effect. ‘The judge referred to a v00k of Pennsylvania cases, by Mr. Ashmead, the new District Attorney, and other authorities, to show that new evidence was not a sufficient ground for a new trial, unless it would require a verdict different from that which had been given. The mere fact that Webb lost a colt, and that it was found in ‘he Patent Office, does not prove that Webb leftit there. Were he (the jndge,) & juror, thie would have no infl on his mind, For ecxpréssed lis. opi new tial mest be ovel F @ Most laborious trial, *theunt of property be- States. The circumstances Yee Which the theft was committed, show a weuderfol adroitness, and place it in atrocity be~ Boron <rdinary thefts. The evidence on the trial yuode it manifest that you committed the crime “fier yaature deliberation. It is the duty of the ‘Court to visi D it you with the severest punishment which the law permits. Sometimes we find a plea for extenuation, in uth, impetuosity, and the temptation of the moment, and twenty other things; but in your case, there are no alleviating circum- stances. You are, apparently, forty years of age, ‘and cannot be excused on account of youth, Even | the escape from the building was managed with | peculiar skill. You departed like the ship on the watert, leaving no trace behind, and with a noise- | less tread. We know the weakness of human na- | ture, but when men so calmly perpetrate crime, they should be visited with punishment. The | judgment of the court, therefore, is, that you be im- prisoned to labor in the penitenuary for the term three years—the sentence to take effect from the riging of the present term of the Circuit Court. ‘The prisoner was remanded to og Thus ends the chapter.

Lhe quiet of the day has been interrupted by the telegraphic report of the great and destructive fire in St. Louis. Among the sufferers is Col. Keemle, a proprieter of the St. Louis Reverle, now ia Washington, and Mr. Chambers, of the Republi can, who is this moment receiving a deepatch of the loss of his establishment. Their loss is sup- posed to beentire, from the destruction of the im surance offices. No other subject is under discus- sion to-night. Within two or three years many millions of property have been destroyed in New York, Pittsburgh, Albany, Brooklyn and other places, and scarcely a vestige of those fires remain. excepting New Yrok, St. Louis has the elements ot recovering from such a Cece Lay poten | ci J tent, perhaps, than any other city e Tiewiliee Yet there must be great distress, fortunate, if, amid the suddenness of the conflagra- is an exemption of human life. Messrs. Soo red ‘Chambers are. discussing the dasran- tion of their property with a philosophy w' oh none but the craft ‘could bring into practice under rich # shock.
