Theatrical and Musicat. MADAME OELESTE'S FAREWELL ENGAGEMENT AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE. One after another of the female lights of the stage are Fotting on this continent, to re-appear in Europe. With- in the last month we have had or are having, in this city the farewell performances of Miss Cushman, Madame ‘Thilion and Madame Celeste. The latter talented and ~opular actress commenced her last engagement in hiscountry, at the Broadway Theatre, on Monday even- bg last, and is drawing large houses. Madame Celeste is smelo- dramatic actress of the first rank on the stage, and aas bad avery brilliant career. The daughter of a soldier InNapoieon’s “grand army,” she made her debut in this dity os adanseuse and pantomimist, in 1928, and was re- celved with great éclat. She was then announced as only fourtcen years of age, though probably she was somewhat Older. Her first appearance was in the Bowery Theatre, then condneted by Mr. Gilford, when she performed a Profitable engagement, and afterwards made a very suc- cessful tour through the States. She subsequently, in 1832, apperred at the Park Theatre, under Mr. Barry, the Present stage manager at Broadway. During her stay here, she married a very wealthy gentleman of Baltimore, Remedi Eiliott, by whom she had one daughter. Her husband did not long survive the union, and she was afterwards engaged in a tedious law suit for the recovery of his property. It ended in her receiving some eighty or ninety thourand dollars—a lucky consummation, which was probably contributed to, in a great degree, by the marriage of her daughter with the son of the princi- Palexecutor. She returned to Europe in 1837 or 8, when she exchanged the ballet for a more legitimate branch of the profession. In melo-drama she attained a high repu- tation, and subsequently became dircctress of the Adel- phi theatre, London—a position which she still oceupies: She came back te this country last fall, with the inten- tion of remaining a year here; but her dutics at the Adeiphi prevent her carrying eaé hor original design, and she is now on the point of departure from these shores— probably never to return. Madame Celeste has appeared each night of her Present engagement in the drama of “ St. Mary's Eve, a story of the Solway.’ in which she played the character of Madeline with consummate skill, drawing down repeated and enthusiastic applause from her andiew Ske also sustained, last evening. three characters in the unilitary rpectacle entitled “Lhe French Spy.” It is not #5 yet, amneuneed when her engagement will terminate, Bowrky Tuearre.—The beautiful romance entitled “ The Corsican Brothers,” which has for six weeks be performed with triumphant success, the audience givi the mort marked tes most enthusiastic chy evening, Broaoway TuxaTee.—The exciting and interestin, drama entitled, “The Willow Copse,” witt be produc: for the firs time in this city.

Brunswick is destined to | be « very important port on the Atlantic, The cotton. | grain, sugar, sud Lumber, of the immense section of coun- | try depending upon that port for an outlet, must give it a great trade immediately upon the opening of the canal | connceting the !mmenge river navigation of Georgia with the Atlantic at Brunswick. This, with the completion of | the railroad now in course of construction to Pensacola, ve Brunswick an importance as a seaport, second to no other south of Virginia. The only obstacle now existing to the connection of that port with the heart of Georgia. and with the great wealth and densest popula tion of the State, is a narrow slip of land, of Little over eleven miles, between Turtle river and the Altamaha. A company was formed some time since to canal this slip of land, and all but about two miles was completed at an expenditure of five hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, ‘The loan now proposed is for finishing the work, Several years since the Senate of the United State? appointed Commodores Woolzey, Claxton and Shubrick: a Board of Commissioners, to examine ports on the At- lantic, south of the Chesapeake, with a view to their com: parative facilities and advantages for the establishment ofa navy yard. In the report made by these commjggion- ers, it was stated that but one port in the Union possessed. all the required advantages, and that of the ports south of the Chesapeake, Brunswick has greater advantages than any other Itis easier of access, hus greater depth of water than any other, and, in the opinion of the commissioners, k was the most southern frigate harbor on the seaboard. Placed near the great outlet of the commerce of the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, its position in a state of maritime warfare would be invaluable. It, therefore. appears that the port of Brunswick is des- tined to be the great outlet of an immense section of the South, and a place of great trade. Capitalists should turn their attention to this point, and aid in the comple- tion of such works as are in the course of construction for the more rapid developements of the resources of that fine and fertile section of country bordering on the great rivers of Georgia At a meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia Rai” road Company, held in Augusta, the report of the direc- tors. giving a condensed statement of the business of the road for two years, ending March 31, 1852, was read and accepted.

They further state, that on the completion of the embankment to re- place the temporary wooden bridges, the construction aecount may be forever closed. The road is now all laid with heavy iron, and is in fine order, and all its ma- cbinery and appliances are in excellent condition. There appears to be some trouble about the semi- annual interest onthe debt of the State of Ohio, due on the Ist of July. The Cincinnati Gazette, of the 31st of May. says:—‘It is now ascertained that the General Assembly adjourned without making a specific appropria- tion for the interest on the State debt, which falls due 1st July next. The constitution, in direct and plain terms, prohibits the drawing of any money from the treasury ‘except in pursuance of a specific appropriation made by law.’ Now, as no such appropriation has been made> how is the money to be drawn and the interest paid? ‘The treasurer has taken an oath to support the constitu- tion—so have the Fund Commicsioners. How, then, can the commissioners draw for this money, and how can the treasurer pay, without violating their oaths? It is gene- rally reported and believed that the auditor refuses to unite inany requisition for the money, and would have the interest unpaid; while the treasurer is in favor of paying, appropriation or no apprepriation."’ In this condition of things, the State Journal of Friday says :—“A draft of the Fund Commissiinars on the treasurer, for the July in- terest, we learn, is protested.” The Court in Bank, of Ohio, at its last session, ap- | pointed a Commissioner—Judge Hitchcock—to make the annual examination of the Obio Life and Trust Company of Cincinnati. After a thorough investigation of the affairs of the institution, the Commissioner has reported. It appears by this report, that the trust department of the company had $1,962,981 62 of the capital stock loaned on bonds and mortgages upon real estate, valued at $5,088,4: to 1.692 individuals, residing in 74 different counties in the State; and held of real estate purchased to secure debts, $24,089 20, The loans in that department invested in stocks, in notes with personal security, and secured by mortgages and county bonds, $722,365 91—all of which have been “ prudently and safely made;""—that © the banking department is conducted with fidelity, pru- dence and safety,” and “ the standing rules in relation to it are well observed." The active debts due that depart- | ment of the company. in October last, amounted to $1,201,096 56. In addition, the due bills receivable, se- cured by mortgages, and susponded debts and judgments, amounted to $144,914 $2, Much of this suspended debt will be realized. t ‘The Commissioner closes his report with the following general remarks:— The Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company was in- corporated jy act of the General Assembly of Ohio, on the 24th of February, 1824, At that time, it was felt that there was alnck of capital in the State for the transac. tion of the business of the community, and it was believed the amount of capital might be increased by means of of this corporation. Nox was this expectation disap. pointed, Most of the stock was subscribed by non-resi- dents of the State, and consequently capital was intro- duced from abroad. It is not rg fine that those who took the stock had particularly in view the publie in- terest. The object with them was to make a safe and pro- | fitable investment of their eapital. Hitherto the investment has been safe and the profits have been reasonable; still the stock has not been as pro- ductive as is genosally supposed, nor as was probably an- ticipated. Dividends, when made, are made semi-annu- ally, in January and July. They have not, however, been uniformly made, Losses have been sustained. which have prevented it. The highest semi-annual dividend made, at any one time, is 4!5 per cent—the lowest, three per cent, The company commenced its operations in January. and in January laet had been in operation seventeen Yi ‘The entire amount of dividends de- clared, including that of January last, had been 10514 per cent, or an average of less than 6%% perannum. The earnings of the company, as its affairs are now conduct- ed, may be fairly estimated at eight per cent. Its actual earnings wovld probably be something more than this; but prudence would dictate that no more than this should be divided. On the dividends declared, the com- pouy has uniformly paid a tax of five per cent to the State. By wn act of the General Assemby, of the 21st of March, Iss], « taxis levied upon this institution, nearly equal to | thres times the amount it has heretofore paid upon its | livide | . and by the tax law lately enacted, and now in force, (his tax'will be very much increased, |The com- pany bas declined to pay the tax levied under the law of | 1861, and will decline to pay that which may be levied w. until its legal lability to make such payment shall have been ascertained by judicial dee It claims that by the terms of its charter, it is logally protected from such payment. The 25th section of ita act of incorporation provides, that “no Le jied taxes shall be levicd on the capital stock or dividends of the company, than are or may be levied on the capital stock or divi- dends of ted banking institutions in this State? It claims, that aside from {ts charter, it is protected by express contract. ‘ Foie company, by.

By an act’ of the"General Assembly, of the 14th of March, 1836, entitled an act “to prohibit | the circulation of small bills, the Auditor of State, in the first section, is directed to draw, ia favor of the State ‘Treasurer, upon the several banks of the State, for twenty per cent upon the amount of their dividends, which the State Treasurer is required toccllect ‘The section, however, contains this proviso: | © That should any bauk in this State, prior to the fourth. day of July next, with the assent of ity stockholders, b: an instrument of writing under its corporate seal. ad- dressed to the Auditor of State, surrender the right con- ferred by its charter, to issue or circulate notes or bills of a less denomination than three dollars, after the fourth day of July, eighteen hundred and thirty-six; aud any notes or bills of a less ‘denomination than five dollars, after the fourth day of July, eighteen hundred and thirty-seven, then and ip thet case, the Auditor of State shall be authorized to draw on such banks only for the amount of five per cent upon its dividends declared after the surrender aforesaid.’ At the time of the enactment of this law, the Obio Life Insurance and Trust Company had the power under its charter, to issue bills of a less demomination than five or three dollars. In fact, it was not at all restricted in this respect. It was one of the banks of the State, and toit, as well as to others, was the proposition made. On the 20th of June, 1836, at a meeting of the stock- holders of this company, it was resolved to consent. upon the consideration contained in the aforesaid act. to sur- in that act; in pursuanee of which resolution, the right was actually relinquished. in the form and manner Cpe scribed in the act, on the 22d day ot the same month of fied. It is claimed by the company that there was a contract between the supreme power of the State and this corpo- ration, The corpot nm had the right and the power to issue bills of a less dencmination than five dollars, The State, through its General Assembly, say to it: surrender this right, and in consideration thereof the Auditor of State draw upon hie only for the amount of five per cent upon your dividends declared subsequent to such surrender. ‘The proposition is considered by the stock- holders of the fcc no and is acceded to, ‘The surren- der is made as required, and the proper officer of State notified, Had this been a transaction between individuals, no ‘one probably would have doubted that it was a contract, and # contiact, too, upon sufficient consideration, per- formed by one of the contracting parties. Whether the fact that the State itecif is a party to the transaction, can make any difference; is a question for the judicial tribu- nal of the country; and it would seem to be desirable to all interested that this question should be determined as soon as possible, Should it be determined that this company is liable to this additional taxation, the interest of its stockholders will require that the business of the concern should be cloged as soon as possible. The capital invested will no Jonger yield a reasonable profit, and will of course seek investment in some more advantageous business. At least such would seem to be the reasonable expectation. All of which is respectfully submitted.

Cotron.—The market continues dull—sales too incon- siderable to be worth reporting. Dry Goovs.--The active demand from the country, wich prevaiied throughout May, has at length abated, but prices continue to show an upward tendency. The clothiers are still buying, and jobbers buy all the lots they can meet with at old prices. Brown cottons are the most active, mostly for shipping, and advanced prices ave freely given. Heavy brown sheetings are now 7c. Bleached goods are plenty. and dull, but firm. Brown drills are eteady, at 734 8 73c., though the demand is less pressing. Osnaburgs are in alge request, but prices are rather higher. Denims are in limited demand, at steady rates, Stripes and ticks are quiet. cloths have advanced 34 a 4¢c., selling at 344 ad e.; de- mand moderate. Prints are not active, but prices a steady, Ginghams still in demand, at 1033c. for bot! Lancasters and Glasgows. Lawns are inactive, but prices are unaltered. Delainesare dull. The Manchester Com- pany will offer their stock at auction in August, it appears; and the announcement is made thus earl qd to | buying a eck foreign importations. Cloths are quiet, but firm, | Week All lots at low prices are taken readily by both specula: tors and jobbers. The advices by the Cambria respecting wool have led to increased firmness; for it is impossible for wool to decline under the diminished supplies from Australia, which may give rise to some demand for wool to ship, after the new croparrives, Cassimeres ate selling freely, the spring styles at a reduction ; new summer styles are firm, Satinets are not brisk. but are firm in price. Tweedsand jeans are dull, without any giving way in prices, which are already low. Flannels continued ac- tive, at full prices. Blankets are also in request. The 8 of woollen and cotton domestics are destined to rise in the fail. Over production has been checked, and the increased price of the raw material | soa vd replace- ment of stock without an advance. The high price of wool will,we expect. materially check the manufacture thissum- mer. The near by und city trade are buying toa fuir extent, especially of seasonable goods, which keeps the jobbars of millinery goods pretty active. The auction sales are be- coming fewer every day, but prices are Improving even barege de laines, Which sell at such a great loss on cost of importation, show a slight improvement above the lowest point of their depression. Pri and ribbons are very firm at the recent advance—the latter are scarce. German cloths are held more firm, The enhanced value of wool in Europe will act more against the foreign manu- facturer than the home. Silk velvets are scarce and high. French calicoes are dull but firm, The demand for goods in Europe, to arrive here in the fail, is said to belarge. The shipments from Liverpool to the United States show a large decrease in linens; but an increase in plain and printed cali cambriecs, muslins and laces. French goods will arrive here in the fall, in greater abundance than ever; both on home and foreign account. Our deal- ers like to make their own selections, and will not wait for or trust to the chance of the importers’ views and tastes, which are seldom so suitable to the taste and fancy of the [from this dato, June 5, 1852, consumers. The importsat present are light; but as the pre- sent month advances they will increase. A large demand for dry goods is_gencrally anticipated from the South, in consequence of the wide distribution of funds from the large crop of cotton. The spring trade was deprived of this essential domand to a ordinary trade, and stocks must be low in every Southern market. The shipments of diy goods to California have been renewed; all staple domestics have been shipped freely there, and goods suita- ble to their fall season are now going forward. Freicuts.—Rates more steady for Liverpool, but en- gagements were light. 700» $00 bbls. flour were taken at 14d., and a small lot of cotton at 5-32d.
