It was his object, he sald, to represent “ye pe- cullarities, eccentricities, and natural humor of the Irishman, or, in his own words, to ramble through the highways and byways, the upsand downs, the twists yaa turns, the Innes end alleys of the Irish heart, and to show of what that heart wes made ap.

Here we are, in the midst of a revolition, in which the old patriots are transformed into tyrants, and the Sewards and Garrisons are the true heroes of humanity. Thus we have a view of the issue presented to the people of Maine, Ohio and Pexnsylva- nia, at the elections just closed. They prefer the constitution to disunion. They repudiate the abolitionists as factionists and enemies to all our greatinterests. The magnitude of the crime which the traitors have striven so flerce- ly:to commit—their alliance with Buropean despots to offect it—theit utter and signal overthrow, asa whole, at the elections, we trust will be received as @ lesson by thousands of the open-mouthed felons whom an indulgent public has permitted to degrade the American name by contesting at the polls the integrity of the federal constitution. As society is now constituted, the negroes are well cared for and protected. They are effective producers—they enrich the country— they add largely to the commerce of the world—they stimulate the industry of foreign States—they sustain our great Northern manu- facturing establishments—they maintain an io: ternal trade which has no paralle) in the his- tory of enterprise. The basest metal has a value when separated from others, which it loses by alloyage even with “the purest gold. Both are depreciated by the union, because they are discredited in the compound form ; and such is the answer which the people of Maine, Ohio and Pennsylvania have returned to the criminal appeals of the abolitionists for the destruction of the government of the Union, with a view to the amalgamation of the white and black races.

FOREIGN CONVIOTS—HIS HONOR SENDS BACK TO: HAMBURG FOUR PERSONS SHIPPED FROM THAT PLACE TO NEW YORK. Some weeks back en account was published in the HE RAL of the arrival of some more foreign convicts at the port of New York, who had been in the prison of Custrow, at Hamburg, and had been sent on here by the authori- ties of that place for the purpose of ridding themselves of what was considered a very ¢iragreeable burden. The vessel was called the ‘‘Deutschland,” and arrived on the: 17th ult., with a number of passengers on board, among- whom were four persons, who, upon being examined, were found to be disreputable characters on their own adimis- sions and affidavits. ‘They were taken toa place of se- curity, until arrangements could be made for their re- turn. Yesterday they were put on board the “Deutsch- land,” and shipped back to their fatherlind, with the pleasant anticipation of once more enjoying the beauties of a prison house and the ill treatment of the authorities, The following letter was addressed to the consignees of the vessel, as soon ashe got wind of the transaction. ‘The reply of Messrs.

METROPOLITAN THEATRE—" JEANNE D’ARC.” Mademoiselle Rachel took her first benefit in America last night, and played Jeanne d’Are, in Soumet’s tragely of that name. The story of Joan is so well known that it is only neceseary for us to refer to the leading incidents of the plot. In the first act we find Joan in prison, after being cap- tured by the English. She ia promised pardon if she will confess that she used sorcery to make sure her enccess in arms, She respectfully declines to do anything of the sort, In the next act we have a pleasant little conversa- tion of half an hour or s0, between the Dukes of Bedford and Burgundy, as to the fate of Joen. In the third act Joan appears before the tribunal. Her simple story will not prevail in that court; their emissary, Beauvais, has bumbugged her pastoral old father into signing an ac- knowledgment that Joan bad led the Freach in opposition to his will, and was indebted for ber success to a private arrangemedt with the evil one, The “Governor’s” intentions were good, who had been informed that an open confession would save his daughter, when in fact it is used to secure her conviction. In the fourth act there is afine scene be- tween Joan and the Duke of Burgandy, who makes a vain effort to eave her, The issue fs finally left toa trisl of arms between the Dukes Bedford and Burgundy. Joan’s champion is defeated. Joan makes a speech rather se- vere on ibe English, and rather egotistis about France and her victorious banners; and is supposed to be duly roasted according toorder, ‘The play does not rise above mediocrity; indeed, there are only t¥o speeches that come up tothe level of respectability. Mr. Soumet ia undoubtedly (we never heard of him before) an excellent writer in his way, butitis a badway. ‘The ae drama on the same subject is much better than the French, al- though the former is to a certain extent an adaptation of the Jatter. M’le Rachel was very fine inJoan, and gave a perfect daguerrectype of the religious enthusiast, who, according to all accounts, really believed that she had a muission irom heaven to deliver France from the armies of “Perfidious Albion,” There was all the earnest, devout, holy enthusiasm which we have beea nczustomed to at” tach to the character of the girl who was called from her flocks to the battle field, who led the armies of Valois to vietcry, who subdued Burgandy, who made union and harmony out of divicion and jealousy, aud who finally received thereward of all pure patriots by being burned for her peins, and to her pain undoubtedly. M’lle Rachel’s finest scone is that with the Duke of Burgundy, in the fourth act, where she successfully appeals to his love of country in order to induce him to forget his ani- mosity against Charles VII. We do not think that even a Duke of Burgundy—and they were supposed © be the most unmitigated hard shells that ever lived— Hew York, Tuesday, October 16, 1855. The News.

Mr. Collins gave the first of bis concerts last evening at Niblo’s saloon; and although the city is at present fall of the most attractive entertainments. it was attended by @ numerous and fashionable audience. The saloon was fitted up with admirable taste, and a stage erected atone end gave somewhat of a theatrical character to the evening’s performance. Mr. Collins has already achieved ® brilliant reputation as @ delineator of Irish character, and is justly ranked with Powers and other celebrated Irish actors. It was, therefore, to be expected that his eppearence on this occasion would have brought @ host of his admirers to hear him, and he was not dis- appointed. This concert last night was every way successful, and his musical entertainments will hereafter take a place among our most popular amusements, ‘The election was most varied, and adapted to please tree eect tne wont diversified audience’ Tt cocsiutes of popu ih and Scotch melodies, selections from sentiments the republicans have everg- where adopted hy merging their old organize tion under the whigs into that of the Garrisom party. I¢was the conversion of a Christian sect to Mahomedanism—the retvagression of civilization to harbarism. We wisk to be ac- curate, because hy telling the truth of such men we inflict upon them the severest chas- tisement—to be unjust to them is impossible, because they are political felons and opidaws, enemies to their species, whose highest inte- xosts they would betray, and whose noblest uaconquerable aversion to allow them a foot- ing in the coumtry. And that» principle was in active operation even at the time the treaty was signed, That fact once conceded, it fol- lows that the fifth article was merely intended to apply to shipwrecked men end such chazce American citizems ae circumstances might cause to seek a sirelter there. The platform | on which the negotiations ware conducted} sustains that view ;, for it is therein stated by| the Imperial Commis¢oner, on the point in | question, that the urge. of having a port of shelter there is admitted, and that they should entirely comply with the proposition of the Americafi government concerning wond, water, provisione, and the saving of ships and their crews in distress, But there is nothing in all this in the treaty, or in the preliminary nego- tiations, whied goes at all to give color of right te the principle contended for by Messrs, Reed and Dougherty. We admit that if the Japanese interpreta- tion ie established, the treaty cecures very fow advantages to the United.States, and that, as the matter now stands, those splendid visions 5 of Eastern trade and commeree which were so e, indee d, a shade of ditterence between | eogerly indulged in at the time of forming tho them, save in the matter of numbers alone? treaty, turn ewt to be mere moonshine.
