In the Senate, a tedious debate was indulged in gpon the resolution of Mr. Borland asking for infor- mation concerning tho naval expedition to Japan. A motion to lay the subject on the table was lost, by a tic vote. From the fact that the Senators from California are opposed to this resolution, it is pro- Bable that they are intimate with the object of the expedition, and that it is calculated to greatly Benefit the people of their own State. The resolu- tion was eventually postponed, and long discus- sion took place on the Congressional apportionment hill. allowing California to retain the two Congressmen to which she was ontitled on admission into the Dnion, and giviog to South Carolina an additional member, to which she ie also entitled, in conrequdite ef having the largest fraction over the required population necessary to form a district. In the House yesterday, Mr. Bocock made a very sensible speech on the naval discipline bill; after which the free farm bill woe ‘aken up, which enabled Col. Polk, of Tennessee, to declare that he belonged to Young America, and had too great a reapect for Gen. Cass to allow a blow to he aimed at him, or any other ‘old fogy” who had been of service to the party. After sufficiently eulogizing the Ge- “poral, the Colonel #t:ted that he was ia favor of the nomince of the Bultimore Convention, whoever he might’be. A remark touching the position of Gen. Scott “towards the compromise, brought up Mr. White, of Kentucky, who remarked that he ‘ be- Keved” he wae authorized in saying that Gen. Scott was opposed to any alteration of the Fugitive er auy other law embraced in the omnibus. From the way things are working in Congress, the members of both houseses are morely exercis- ing their wits, in order to kill time till the assembling of the national conventions of both parties. No business will be done till it is known who are to be the candidates for Prosident ; and, in furtherance of this object, the whig Congressmen are to meet this evening ‘‘ for the purpose of considering xaatters of importance to their party.” ‘The remarkably harmonious proceedings in the eoxvention of the democratic Siate delegates at Albany, rather surprised the outsiders, who antic pated a “glorious rew,” by way of a commence- ment. The contested seat of the eighth district was settled by declaring Lorenzo B. Shepard, barn- burner, to be entitled thereto, instead of Mr. O'Co- | nor, huuker. On ballotting for delega' sfrom the Btate at large, Messrs. Horatio Seymour aud Joba | B. Skinner were elected. The barnburners claim both these gentlemen, as well as Mr. Shepard, not- | withstanding all three of them were formerly in favor wf Gen. Cass. Should the assertions of these gen- tlemen prove correct, the State will be reprogented | ity of free soilers in both the whig and ic nationel conventions. At the whig caucus of the Legislature on Wednesday, Gon. BSoott was declared to bo their first choice for Presi dent. The whigs, of course, acted in consonance ‘by a ma, with the wishcs of Marshal Seward; but, then, who | gave him the control, also, of the democratic caucus, and caused ite members te present a free soil front? Had the cenal contracts anything to do with it 7 The election in Rhode Irland, last Wednesday, re- sulted in the choice of @ democratic Governor and whig Licut. Governor. Doth branches of the Legis- lature are whig. yernor in Connecticut by about 600 majority. A communication wae received by the State Se- nate yerterday, from the President of the Commis- sioners of Emigration, deny body had been authorized to withhold the informa- tion asked for by the Renate. In the Assembly a bill wag reported, hy a w hig, to repeal the lew abolishing | tolls on railroads.

It is the monsters of this kind who, by their inhuman actions, have unfortu- nately aroused suspicions against many truly de- verving persons, who do not speak our own language, and who cannot, consequently, procure employment. Let those who are recognized as having been ecoun- dve)s in the land of their birth be pointed out and made known, if possible, to the officers of the law, and it will be much to the advantage of the honest portion of foreigners, Kossuth In the South—Attack on Mr, Clay Renewed—The Demagogue Declining. We have at length reocived full and interesting accounts of the reception of Kossuth in New Orleane; areport of his first harangue in that metropolis; and the general opinion of the press and people of the South on hiinsclf, his mission, his oratory, his patrictiem, his impudence, and hishumbug. This interesting reaging will be found in arother portion of our sheet, and it possesses a sort of syllabub freshness, as compared with the inultitudinous noise with which he was received in this metropolis, and the rowdy congratulations which have greeted him in tho Western States. The people and the press of New Orleans—much to their credit—have not been led away with the same silly enthusiasm that carried us in this neigh- borhood off our feet, for at least ten days or a fort- night. They have had the advantage of experience, and have wisely profited by reflection on the propo- sitions which Kossuth has promulgated, and the contradictions that have attended his discourses from the first moment of his landing up to the present hour. Even as an orator, the colossal di- mensions with which he was viewed by the demagogues in this quarter, are properly es- timated in the sumny South. Tho speech of Kossuth in New Orleans, and the remarks of the New Orleans journals, are most admirably adapt- ed to go together, as the bane and the antidote of as ridiculous a mania as ever agitated the country. One point, however, we cannot omit noticing with | particular attention, and that is, the quibbling at- tefopts which Kossuth appears to have made in Louis- villeand New Orleans, to throw, indirectly, blame on Mr. Clay for being concerned in the publication of the interview between that great stateaman and the Hungarian leader, in which the doctrines of inter- vention received the coup de grace from the patriot of Kentucky. Kossuth, in this matter, hasexhibited | much about the same effrontery and shallow imper- tinence that he ehowed in his treatment of Captain Long, of the Mississippi, both in the Mediterranean | and inthis country. It seems he could not restrain himself in Louisville from saying somothing very sharp in reference to the publication made of the interview that had taken place between him and Mr. Clay; but when he found that the American journals, far and wide, resented hie remarks, he then, in the same way as he quibbled with Captain Long, ennct- ed the like piece of conduct, by a like quibbling with Mr. Clay and the gentlemen who bad attended him on that visit. Of course, wader such @ rigid appreciation of hia talenta, purposes, and mission, Kossuth did not remain long in New Orleans. He hurried on to Mobile; and we perceive that the telegraph has been ‘drawing a ivug bow” in regard to his | success in that city. It is not, and it is impos- sible that it can be, moro successful there than in New Orleans His reception of the addresses of anti-slavery committees, black, white, and gray——of commitices to resist the execution of the Fugitive Slave law—his connection with the Seward ebolition pret in this city—his identification with the Attor House Revolutionary Committee-- his endeavor to inculpate gallant officers of the navy —his quibbling attacks on Mr. Clay—his trampling under foot of the doctrines of George Washington’s Farewell Addrese—and his assumption of royal | etyle and dignity at the Irving House, and through- out the country, wherever he went—all forbid the idea of his suceces, or an enthusiastic ro- ception by the great body of the people, when they come to know him. New Orleans may be regarded asthe exponent of the general feeling throughout the whole of the South.

But the approbation of the sober-minded, sensible part of the community is | very different thing. After all the triumphal exhi- Litions aud pomp and pageautry with which Kossuth entered upon his career in this city, the whole thing has ended in smoke, and the results of his mission in the United States are a fow thousnnd old two- dollar muskets, and a few hundred Cincinnati ead- dles—vast materials to achieve revolutions all over the armed despotisms of Europe! Bat while these ave the fruits of Koseath’s mi here, it is producing fruits of another kind in Eu- rope.

They are refused passports in some places, end in others they are imprisoned and | erdered out of the country. The latest case of thie | hind that has come under our notice, is the impri- | sonmont of Dr. King, our coneular agent at Athens, and his expulsion from the kingdom, wnder the pre- | tence that, by preaching in his own house, he has | reviled the doctrines of the Greek Church.

We publish this morning, from our English papers, the late speech of Mazsini before the “ Society of the Friends of Italy” in London, and his manifesto to the revolutionary committecs of the Continent, onthe duties of the European democracy. The speech and the manifesto are in the characteristie vein of the most impractical and dreamy enthusiast of them all. They are still deserving of some attention, as indi- cating the continued existence of a central organiza- tion of the continental refugees in England, ope- rating, as far as they can, to inflame and to organize the revolutionary materials of France, Germany, and Italy ; while Kossuth still maintains the ory on this side of the Atlantic, for intervention, and “material and financial aid,” in the cause of Hun- gary. The grand object of the one is to make Italy arepublic—the mission of the other is to make a republic of Hungary—and both are to rise out of the dust, and ashes, and desolation of a general Euro- pean war. The war must come fisst between the unarmed people and the armed and disciplined powers of despotism. And what is the proepeot for such a war? At this day, after the experience and the experi- mente we have had in European republicanism, the mission, whether of Mazziniin England, orof Kossuth in the United States, in behalf of what they call the “solidarity of the peoples,” dwindles into a ridicu- lous delusion—a pitiful absurdity. There is no eolidarity—no rallying point—no plan—no power of cohesion---no means of action, among the repub- licans of the Coatinent. They are circumvented, subdued, and powerloss. What was not acoomn- plished by the reaction of 1849, bas been done, and done most effectively, by the coup d'état of 185i. The power which, by the sudden and rapid reyolu- tionary movements of 1848, was seized by the revo- Tutionists and thrown away, they will not soon have the means or the occasion to possess again. When they submitted to be disarmed by king promises, they submitted to an indefinite rosto ration of kingly power. They had overthrowa, but they conld not build up. The people were not Tipe, not adapted to, not qualified for, and could not comprehend, the meager simplicity of republican institutions. From the dark ages, and beyond the dark ages--from the Reformation, and ever since the Reformation, the people of Europe had inherited the divine right of kings and the duties of obedi- ence. Ignoranee, dependence, nationality, super- stition, and tradition were all against them; and when the powers of sovereignty were placed in their hands, they recoiled at their sacrilegious usurpation, and restored their authority to its ancient instru- ments, by the grace of God. Such was the practi- cal issue of the otherwise successful revolutions of 1848, But Mazzini does not despair. The blunders of 1848 may be repaired—a new and more thorough re- volutionary revulsion may be inaugurated upon the ruins of the last; and by united, pre-concerted, and consistent action, the Cossacke may yet be put down, and Europe made republican. He arraigns the socialists as having thus far destroyed the good cause; and their bloody programme for reducing society to barbarism, certainly had a potent influ- | ence in destroying the so called French Republic, and in restoring the absolute system of the Empire, as tho choice of evils. Unfortunately, however, the discovery is made too late or reparation. Executions, dun- geone, exile, confiscations, and deportations, are the bitter fruits of the poisonous seeds of socialism, The work is done. Never were revolutionary principles so completely suffocated—never were the prospects ofa revolutionary rising on the Continent so hope- lessas now. Yet Marzini does not despair. He does, however, seem to despair of France, in con- fersing that her movement now depends upon the movement of Europe. This gives a hopeless aspect, indeed, to the whole cause; for France has always as- sumed the initiative in European republicanism since the Reign of Terror. She led off most gallantly in 1843, and in the plun of the projected general insurrection for 1852, the signal was to come from France. It was universally expected that the occasion would be the Presidential election of May, as provided for in the constitution of 49, Now that the coupd’état has destroyed this arrangement, and is carrying back the meckery of the Republic into the solidity of the Empire as fast as possible, the imaginattve Italian proclaims that France having ceased to act upon Europe, Europe imuet re-act upon France. What a vain dreamer is thie! What a builder of republican castles in the clouds! ‘The whole of democratic Europe must now id France in reco- vering her position, as she formerly aided Europe.” Where is this democratic Europe? How is it to act? Tt is nowhere--it is destroyed—it con do nothing— it must wait upon Providence. maceratic. Even France has nover been republican —never. Under all forms, and all disguises, her government has been despotic, an oligarchy, or an absolute mouarchy, like ancient Rome. France hasnever been satisfied long with even the naine of « republic. She is not now--it must be the Empire. A republic cannot be mado by a bloody overthrow of despotic power. Exterminate the despots, and the iguorant masses of the peoplo will #till remain as incapuble of self-government a8 before. Theonly | nation of Europe qualified, to any practical extent, fov a republican government is Great Britain; and she is thus qualified from the slow progress of a thousand years of steady reformations, step | by step. The success of this great republic iv Aue to its lessons of progress and political edu- cation inherited from England. Ti was the re- publie which made the American revolution of 1776, and not the revolution which created the republic. The clements existed before, and the revolution only put them into practical shape. Tlie experience of the Scuth American re- publics and Mexico illustrate very aptly the folly of prosuming that the bayonet is sufficient to establish the blessings of popular sovereignty and the enpa- cities for self-government. se The truth ie, that excepting, perhaps, Switzer- | | land and the people of several of the smaller northern natione, the continent of Hurope is not | yet fit at ali for republican institutions, dves not understand them, and does not want them, fear of the excesses of eocinlism and infidelity. Mazzini, in his epeoch at Manchester, declares that his projét of the Italian republie doce not tlone involye the deposition of the Pope as a temporal ruler, but his over his church. There is to be no more Pope, temporal or spiritual, This declaration of war against His | Tolinors increases the magnitude of Magzini’s revo- lutionary plans to the height of the ridiculous and | vis ry; for the spiritual Pope, in such a contest, is sti}l the arbiter of Europe.

Ts Deuockinc Ravrew—Yorse Aumios AnD THE Oxp Foors.—The Democratic Review for the month of March isa smasher. It is » little behind time, baving been laid upoa our table within the last three days; but it is soon enough, and fast enough for the “ Old Fogies,” in all conscience. It is a fast oraft, sharp at the bow, sharp at the stern, with along, low, rakish looking medel, and is worked by steam upon the high pressure prineiple, of at least forty pounds to the equare inch, Bravely aseuming aj] the risks of an explosion—-of snags, sandbars, rocks, and a lee shore in the fog-- the motto of the captain is, ‘ Ge ahead, or burst your bier.” The “Old Fogics” must be ruu down. The leading asiticle of the March number, upon “Congress, the Presidency, aud the Review,” | breaks every bone in the skeleton of * Ola Fogy- dom,” and lays up its fossil remains among the antedilivian fragments from the ruins of Nimroud | and Babylon. Or, if ** Old Fogydom” still exists, | it isonly to be extirpated, cleaned out, and aani- hilated at the Baltimore Convention. We detect, in this fierce onslaught upon the old democratic windmills, the intrepidity.of Don Quixotte, and the cool fidelity of Sancho, his frithful squire. It eom- bines the genius of Yonng America and the talent of Old Ireland. It gives us the progressive ideas of | George fuunders, in the dashing, alashing, cut-aad- thrnst atyle of Thomas Reilly. It ie the voice of progressive democracy, with a strong Irish accent. It presents us the eubstance and the eesence of | the platform and the principles of Kossuth and Corry, Mike Walsh, Capt. Rynders, Judge Douglas, If the article makes no specificutions of the objects aud measures of the new school of ** young men and young ideas,” it is because there is no limit to its comprehensive plan of operations. The invasion of Hurope, and the overthrow of the despots, from the petty tyrant of Neples to the great Czar of all the Russias and half the continent besides; the acquisition of Cuba, the absorption of Mexico, the re-annexation of all the Canadas, a railroad to the Pacific, the ebony line of steamers to Africa, and a daily line between San Frauciseo, the Sandwich Islands, Japan, China and Australia, are but incidental measures to the deve- lopement of the grand and infinite programme of Young America. Old Fogydom, stale and decrepit, mumbling over the unmeaning gibberish of the re- solutions of “98 and ‘99, and the Baltimore rosolu- tions of 44 and ’48, including the ‘re-occupation of Oregon and the re-annexation of Texas,” is kicked out as indignantly as our Saviour expelled the Plain- ficld and Havre de Grace money changers from the temple. But the end is not yet. The enterprising son of St. Pxirick who trailed his coat along the ground through the crowd at Donnybrook Fair, beseeching some one to be kind enongh to tread upon that coat tail, as the last ex- pedient for raising a shindy, was a mild and pacific gentleman compared with the “young *uns” of the Demccratic Rew The late héstile rising on the Erie canal, between the Corkonians and Fardown- ere, was a mere Lit of pastime compared with this horrible extermination of the ‘old fogies.”” Young America, with his Irich shillelai, walks into the fight without ceremony, and tumbles them into the dust a half-dozen at every flourish of his stick. A few of the more interesting specimens are dis- sected and hung up to dry. Hon. Linn Boyd, Speaker of the House, and his biography in the Waslington Union, and the editors of the Unicn, and Gen. Butler, and his friend Mr. Breel- ensidge, and that unfortunate Presidential aspiran:, poor old Governor Marcy, with the patch upon his breeches, are thus disposed of. The skinning of Marcy is particularly severe. His buteher of the Revicw, says:—‘A few old fogy barnburncrs are now hard at work at the pullics, hoisting his Go- vernertLip; but with a devilish look, meaning that they will get hin jnst high enough to be eertain of breaking his neck in the fall.” And thus, through- out the article, are the old fogios joeredand derided, | and kicked and cuffed, and skinned and eat up, aud hung up to dr; Another article, on the Maine Liquor law, discloses one of the cardinal principles of “Young Aterica.” It isin decided hostifity to any measure of legislation, not against the freedom of speech, or the freedom ofthe press, bnt against the freedom to drink. Yoorg America islively, fast, goes ahead, aud must have liquor---good lignor--- aud plenty of it. The ehempions of Young Amevica are judges of good liquor, they drink food liqnor, und they are hale fellows well met with every chip of Young America who willing to take or stand a treat. The Maine Liquor law and Young America ore hostile as fire and water. Altogethor, Young America is out in full feather in this namber of the Reevew. It neither asks nor gives querter. The “old togics”? must be exterminated at all risks. Itisa beautiful fight as i. stands; but going it blind, like a bull ina China shop, we very much fear that Young America will break its head among the evockery Vefore the bull bait is over. Nothing can save it but the Maine Liquor law. Tamatany MOVEMENTS--BRUSHING UP FOR A Figur. —We publish eleewhere, some proceedings which recently took place in the venerable Society of St. Tammany, at Tammany Hall, on which occasion Gen. Cass, Mr. Commissioner Mather, of Albany, and Gen. Dix, of somewhere, were adimitied to the fellowship of that ancient association, took the ac- customed adjurations, and danced, either in person or by proxy, the war dance round the council fire. The jhilosophers, or savages—we do not know which to call theu—of Tammany Scciety are be- ginning to snuff the fight at a distance. These are preparations for the great political contest next fall, The admission of these three gentlemen to warm their shins at the council fires of Tainmany, moans something. Gen. Casa is a candidate for the Presi- dency. Mr. Mather will be a enndidate for the Go- verorehip of New York; and we suppose that Gen. Dix means to be acandidate for the United States Senste, as soon ae there is a vacancy in C ross. These little movements in Taiomany ave the ceeds | of the great movement of a future day. But this is not all. We understand that tie fret ideas of all future candidates nmong the democrate--young and old—epring up in their private, confidential, wyste- riows meetings bold around the conncil fires of Tam- many Society, kept under lock and key, uspickable even by Mr. Hobbs. In addition to what we have stated, the cendidates for Mayor of this city, next fall, are whispered to be Me. Wortervelt, Alderman Compton, Charles A Secor, Oliver Charlick, or Mike Weleh. Tho candidates for Covernor are aup- posed to be Mr. Commissioner Mather, Attorney General Chatfel!, Mr Church, or Mr. Comptroiler Wright. The candidates for Sheriff are John Or- ser, Jomes C.

It always costs much money to fit up fine things. Luxurious fixings are net lalf-price arti- ales; and worrt of all, these fine fixings, and splendid chandeliors, and eparkling ornamente, and elegant pilasters, must cone out of the packets of the pur chasers, after all.

The nomination was made by about two-thirds of the whig mom- bere, one-third being abvent, and probably favor- able to Webster and Fillmore, the rival candidates. This nomination, however, i# not of so much impor- tance as tho seleetion of tho delegatesto the Phila- delphia Convention, which must soon take place through the State. One or two of these delegatos have been already chosen in a certain way; and, by taking time by the forelock, the Seward faction have carried their own men, and these men are, of course, hostile to Webster and Fillmore as candi dates for the Prosidoncy. But the great contest in the wiig renks for delogatcs has yet to take place; and if Mr. Fillmore should only get halfa dozea in New York out of the whole, with his chances in the other Southern States, added to his rimost united support from the South, it is yet very likely he will be a formidable rival to General Scottin the “Slaughter-house.”” Should he be unable to carry the nomination himself, who knows but that Mr. Web- ster, netwithstanding his little strength and popu- larity among the masecs, may yet stand by in the “Slaughter-bouse Convention,” and catoh the nomi- nation as it falls from tho struggling hands of the other two factions.

Read the following advertisement, published in the Zribune and Evening Post :— Tue Fuortve Stave Law.—Those citizens of New York who are oppored to the kidnapping of nen under color of law. aud who wih the infumous proevedings in the late care of the mou Preston fully exposed, and means taken to prevent their repetition in our city. are respect. fully requested to call at the offioe of The Tyibune or Ei Post, and rign their names to a call for a Mass Me g. to be held iu Metropolitan Hall, or elsgwhere, at an early day. The Fourrier abolition organ, in ealling attention to this advertisement, says thet the movement is “for a mars meeting of such citisens of Now York as do not deem kidnapping ossential to the preser- vation of the Union,” and that “ those who desire a public exposé of the extraordinary preceedings by which Preston was dragged from his family in Wil- liamsburg, and summarily remanded te the kind enstody of the slave driver, are invited to onll at the Tribune office, and sign the call,” &c. We simply submit, for the present, should this Project be carried out, the propriety and expediency of a mes meeting of the friends of law and order, and of good faith to the South, to counteract this incendiary experimeut. Our duty as good citizens, and the vast business relations of New York with the South, demand that these abolition agitators shall bo put down. New York Crystan Paace.—The subserip- tious to this project are just beginning. About 20,000 have been subscribed, but $200,000 are re- quired before they ean start upon their legs.

Fillmore stock has been rising prodigiously in the South, and even Webster stock is looking up a little. But the greatest full has been in Scott stock, which had been going down, till foars were entertained that it would collapse before the next dividend is de- clared.

Last wy, we believe, his titieth appearance, and still no diinination is obrervable in his andierces, During his cngssoment, he has played in some (wenty different character, repeating seine of them half a dozen times, and he hos natted be- tween twenty end thirly thousand dollarr—half of the gross receipts gotug into his purse. Mr, Forrest eom- menced his present engagement on the 9th Febrnary, Of the fifty nights he has played. six were heavy storms of rein, and more than beif were unfavorable weather, yet his performances have been witnessed by upwards of eighty thowand pereons and, ty a caleulation made, he must have spoken thirty thousand lines, He apponrod three times in Othello, two in Lear, two in Hamiet, five in Richard the Third, four in the Gladiator, six im Jack Cade, three in Richelieu, two in Brutus, one in Clande Melnotte. four in Damon, three in Metamora, three im “ Pizarro,” four in“ The Broker of Bogota,” one in Vir- ginius, two in Macheth, three in William cil, and one in Bertram, Fer more than one reason, this enprosedenind snecess is scmewhat remarkable. It was anticipate? that the original character piuyed by bim in tho lity a@ivorce drama would have coupletely damned bis popularity om the stage ever after, aud a signal defeat was proguosti- cated for his rubsequent engagement, but the first night of his reenérée on the boards of the Broadway falei- fied there predictions, He was greeted with the warmest marks of admiration by an assembly as large as the house could contain, though, to be sure, there was among tham a wuinerous phalaux of rowdios, led on by an ins dcwitable captain, to give hit the Denesit of their cheers, It was, howover, a complete triutuph to Mr. Forreet; and his continued success riuce then may be ina great mea- sure attributed to that event. ‘Though it cannot be disputed that Forrest possesses a large hare of dramatic talent aud eapability, yet he cupnot, by any means, be regarded ns a finished actor. His style occasionally is to» yiolent—tvo full of froth and fury—and wanting iu the fluer Louches of his art, He is at home in his delineation of the violent passions, but is not true to nature in portraying the more refined, pure, and lofty feelings. Consequently he sueceeds better in characters requiring great force and energy: such as thote of Spartacus, Brutus tn the + Fall of Tarquin,” Vire piniue, Metamora, Rolla, and others of @ like eacte, than in such as Hamlet, Richelieu, or even Othello, Mr, For- rest ié unquestionably the firet and greatest of American actore—and as such, has been nursed, caressed and flat- tered by the American people, But dramatic taste in this country is not Ko delicate, chaste, or discriminative as it is in Europe; and the style of representation hero ia wry different from that seen on (ho Fronch, or even English, stoge. It is deficient in the pure clacsical ¢ haracteris~ tica of the drauna, ‘here is an iv ssurable distance between Mr. Forrest's style of acting and that of Talmn, or the elder Keon, We do not compere him with Macready or Cherles Koan, because Forrest's terrible enorgy and impuleive genius are far superior to these effete artists of an effete age, This modern Hnglish style is ephemeral, and does not deserve to be classified with that which existed in the palmy days of Edmund Kean, Cooke, sud Kemble. Since their time, no actor bas appeared on the English stage, who eonld bear comparicon with them, or deserves to be named in the same category. In this country, however, Mr, Forrest ia regarded as the prince of tragedianr—and he is 90, in his way. His Peculiar style seems to be in consonance with public teste, thovgh to those who have been accustomed to witness representations on the European stage, he does not ap- quelifed te old the rank of a first-rate actor, His tat the Broadway hns vastly increased ud there is no doubt that tho professional tour which he proposer to make over the couniry will be sucosseful over eli former ones, in proportion as bas been his engagement im this city.
