Miss Bennett was bonored with a full house, and gave a fair performance of ‘‘ Letitia Hardy’? in the “ Belle’s Stratagem.’’ It is to be regretted that a ing so far as to annoy another portion of it who tate no interest in quarrels between ma- pagers and actors by noisy and ill-placed plau- dits commenced on each appearance during the evening of the object of their admiration, and sustained so long as to seriously interfere with the business of the scene and the enjoyment of the play.

The ferry boats to Hoboken were thronged yester- day with people going to and returning from the Fly- aian Fielés, Fox’s Hill, Vauxhall Garden, and other places where amusement lovers do most congregate. ‘The great bulk of thore who frequent Hoboken on the Sabbath are, of ccurse, the Germans, whe, in company with their wives or sweethearts, friends and children, fill the benches and crowd the gardens with beer drink- ing and hilarious groups. Tke aumber of these esta- passage of the prohibitory law in New York, and the value of that kind of property nas been greatly en- hanced thereby. There were more people to be seen there yesterday than at any time before this season, a fuct due, no doudt, partly to the beauty of the day, and to the superior accommodations now afforded to the imbibers of vinous and spirituous potations. It is to be remarked, however, that there is very little drank- enness to be seen, nor do rowdies frequent this place as much as formerly, as that amiable c!ass of our in- babitants now manifest s great lixing tor Staten Island, anc cyowd tne villages there in gangs, to the infinite annoyance of the residents. it ie wetl worth a visit to Hoboken on Sanday to see the manner in which our German population amuse themselves. They avoid as much as possible the crowd- ed barrooms, and cluster ip groups ia the open gard and there indulge in huge mugs of beer, or botth sour wine, to moisten their clay ond mellow down their Teutonic phlegm. There is no riot—no disorder—all is quiet. The presence of females, who enter with as much gusto into the eating and drinking as the males, prevents avytbing of that kind, Vauxhall Garden ap- pears to be a favorite resort. Here, under the budding tues, upon the grass, they will sit and eat and smoke, anc imbibe incredible quantities of \agerbier and other tables. Indeed, the scene remin’s one of what may witnesred by the banks of tue Rhine, the Danube, or the Elne, and has very little in common with the strict American observance of the Sabbath. The America who visit Hoboke generally make for the Elysian Fie): along the banks of the river, and there treat themselves te ice cream or voca water, liquor selling beng inter- aioted by Col Ktevens in bis leases to his tenants. With the exception, however, of his grounds, the traffic is quite flourisbing'in Hoboken, nor is there any proba- bility that the xupply will be cut off, as at the late elec. tion the tiquor interest succeeded in electing those vorable to their views.

HER RUNNING ASHORE ON QUICARA ISLAND—-LETTER FROM MR. ASPINWALL—NO LIVES LOST—MAILS. AND TREASURE SAVED. Annexed is a copy of a letter from Wm. H. Aspinwall, Eeq., toone of the directors of the Pacific Steamship Company :— ISLAND oF QuicaRA, May 1, 1855. DEAR ~——:—I promised to send you « letter from. Panama, insteadof which I write from this uninhabited: Island, some two hundreé miles from our destination. You will naturally ask, How came you there? The an- swer is simply—We couldn’t help it—having run one sunken rock about three miles from the cove we are now stranded in, about two o'clock Sunday morning, going at full apeed. J was op deck at the time, tosee the island and enjoy the beauty of the night, and was talking with. Captain Watkins when she struck. Theengine was um hooked instantaneously; but after « frightful surge, first to the starboard and then tothe larboard, it wae evident that the ship was off, and in deep water; » pe- sition suffictently alarming to all who knew what it was. Thave written to my brother all the details, and I will only say to you, that never did man-of-war’s srew take their stations when ‘‘beat to quarters’’ with moreerder and Jess noise than did the crew of this ship. I trem- bled when the rush of steam showed that the water had reached the fires, fearing confusion and but such was the effect of drill om the part of the crew, and of confidenee in Captain Watkins on the part of hie passengers, that not the sligatest outbreak appeared; and #0 again when she struck the second reef im for the shore; ard again when the weight of water in her gave such s “list” that it was hard to keep foothold om deck. You might see 500 to 60@ men of the station. ed on the upper deck as ballast, whilst every boat was upcer proper officers and picked men, ready to “ tet fall,”’ and to be takem care of at all harards when in the water. In fact, this order and the securing of the speote in the purser’s siate room on the upper deck, the closing and guarding of the wines and liquors, were attenced to immediately after the first shock, and some Coven reliable men among tne passengers sooe after re lieved the officers at their stations for taking order from Capt. Watkins and in superintending the steerage passengers. So here we all_are, on # sand bosch, with the tide ebbing and flowing im the ship, without an ac cident to life or limb, and with the John L Siephens et snchor within balf a mile, taking off passengors, specie avd baggage, anc all, I hope, will be to morrow aight enfo om board the Atlantic steamer. I cannot believe thet such an act ef Providence can pass without its mars om many a character; and I pray God that to al] who have shared this meroiful deliverance, it may prove ® bless. ing beyord tbat of mere life, We shall stay s couple of days at Panama, then take the KI Dorado to Hevane, and so home, boping to be with you all im New Yorke about the 16th of May.
