Our London correspondent gives he the following account of the fire night of Jal liens Indian quadrille:—There cannot be the sli cht- est doubt but that Mons. Jullien is the man of the ae. Figure to yourselves the following scene taking place last evening at her Majesty's theatre, the maestro, as usual, “cap-a-pie,” ringlets, white choke, embroidered Richard, white rose, holiday wristbands, and so on downwards; a densely and hermetically packed house, assembled, or rather jammed together, to do honor to a musical compo- sition cooked up by the chef himself, as appropriate to existing circnmstances, not monetary, but belli- gerent. “ Keoutez vous tows,” and “ Lugete veneres cupidi ue.” Take ns which way you please, “ et alluns.” The “ Morceaux de Circonstance” is some | what melodramatically christened.

We have Russian Alexan- der the Great, the red-haired Saxons (or Ireland's an- ip Josephus, the Koran, Pontius Pilate, Ne- buchadnezzar, and the Juggernaut, in the place of the usual ezcite-appetite—Stoughton bitters! The melo- dious dish is divided, like a domestic nest of entrées, made to contain the joint and the four corners. Part 1 includes “Taza-ba-Taza,” the Brahmin hymn, familiar to London ears, by the organ grinders’ rivals; these Hindoos, who parade the streets, chaunting over the bridges of their olfactory organs to a [finger accompaniment on an elongated dram. Sirains, @ Ja Mars, come forth in hold relief, wherein Mahratta, Sikh a So kas are (see the imme) presumed to administering and troetring Jessie.

Lady Havelock was a better star than Jetty Trefftz last evening. We have, also, the following account of the latest novelties: — We dramatic critics had a hard racing time of it Jastevening. A new French farce at the Princess’, (the future /evé /e rideau of the Shaksperean lays,) a new French drama for the rentré of Mr. ‘in Webster, at the Adelphi, as a middle original music at Jullien’s. ‘The ious ran of some hundred night at the Princess’. The new farce is named “A Case of Conscience,” in , and in French, ‘ise cou A La iy ao an an Enposeitis rebus of plot, founded on a whicl occurs in the works of Jean Jentaas foopsean, ee ee of conscience” is su; style moral philosophers oye the fable of ae ges and his Ring,” as, for in- stance, su by a spring in Europe, we could, like the mythological ou lady with her scissors, cut off the of life of a mandarin in the Celestial empire, and so become a /a minuet,, his heir at law—this, too, without the possibility of any suspicion or the knowledge of the victim's personal appearance. A ring at the street door is the medium employed in this case, and forthwith a John China- man not only shufties off this mortal coil, but a pocket- book at the same moment (laden with flimsies) falls at the tuggee, that is, the bell-puller’s feet. To fol- low the plot further were a useless task, and so suffice it to say that Monsieurs David Fisher and F. Cooke and Misa Mur- ray made the little piece successful, not to omit honorable mention of a very pretty set scene repre- senting a gravel walk of “Inn of Court,” with Linden tress and the porter’s sentry box. At the Adelphi, the drama was of a fantastical, diabolical and regions-bellow-ish character, being a free line for line translation of Messieurs barre and Ehus’ “La Legend del'Homme Sans Téte,” under the literal title of the “Headless Man.” To arrive ata notion of the plot, just omnium gatherumize “Don Giovanni” and Schiller’s “Robbers”—then take therefrom all that is good in both, and illotine your hero in the second act. In the following ‘entr’acte pop his nob on again, so that in act three he may be an entire man again. It was capitally well put upon the stage, and the andience were uncommonly good for the first two acts, but when the hrorors upon horrors worked up, or rather down to the t hall and coun- cil chamber of the evil one himself, during a fite day or extra grilling occasion, their patience was at the length of its tether, and cackling became unani- mous. However, Mr. Webster and Madame Celeste are general favorites, so that on the fall of the cur- tain the sibilations gave place to calls for the lessee and the directress. Mr. John Mitchell's Opera Buffa Italiana has been very fashionably and fully attended. —_It is rumored (Mrs. Seymour having declined further negotiation) that Mr. and Mrs. Keeley and Mr. Albert Smith are to be the future proprietors and managers of the lit- tle Strand theatre. Mr. Lumley, wherever he goes, is always even more successful with Malle. Piecolo- mini and Signor Ginglini than, te was with Jenny Lind and Gardoni. Mr. Tom Taylor's new comedy is drawing good houses at the Haymarket, and the same may in truth be said of Balfe’s opera at the Lyceum. plot of Tom Taylor’s new comedy of “An Unequal Match,” which has been quite successful at the Haymarket, runs thus:—The object of the author, indicated by his title of * Unequal Match,” is to show the er, in a social point of view, of a union between two persons in widely different ranks of life. Harry Arncliffe, (Mr. W. Farren,) a younger branch of an aristocratic family, nto by Mrs. Mon- tresor, (Mrs. Buckingham White,) a ‘fashionable coquette, retires to a remote part of the country, where he devotes himself to artistic pursuits, and falls love with Hester Grazebrook, (Miss Amy Sed; rick) the lovely daughter of an honest black- smith. Charmed no less by her beauty than by her unsophisticated manners, he offers ber his hand, not knowing that his uncle had died suddenly, and left him heir to a baronetcy and large estates. The intel- ligence does not, however, alter his resolution; he still declares his intention to marry Hester, and to raise her to his own rank in society. Eighteen months elapse, and we find Sir Harry and Lady Arn- cliffe returned to their home, after a prolonged con- tinental tour, and we perceive that gir Harry—sur- rounded by his fashionable friends, and influenced by the artful suggestions of Mrs. Montresor, his former flame—becomes fretful and uneasy, be- cause his wife still preserves her " rustic manners, and an unfashionable habit of not concealing her feelings or opinions. An inci- pens disease of the chest, and the urgent orders of | ‘is physician, determine Sir Harry to pass afew months at a German spa; but to avoid alarming his wife, he pleads some pressing business on the Conti- nent, and leaves her rather sarap to lament his absence. Hester, who fancies that he has been lured pm eg i Seragrevennnd of — she is i note and wi , managed meet Sir Harry Arn- cliffe at fms, makes up her mind to foil her rival at her own weapons. In the twelve months which suc- ceeds her husband's departure she applies herself so diligently to acquire those accomplishments and artifi manners which her husband seemed to think indi ble in her position, that, when she follows him to the little German watering place where he has taken op his quarters, she literally con- founds him by the alteration which has taken place in her. She is no longer the innocent, artless girl, all truth and affection, but a finished coquette—bold, brilliant and heartless—who receives the attentions of a small German duke, with fashionable com sure. Hiaally, by turning his own weapons on her re} cepts, drawn from the husband, an ie his text book of pol d society, she punishes him for | his weakness, triumphs over her rival, and wins | back a rejoicin, an underplot husband to his true faith. There is ‘or Buckstone and Compton. It may be fanny, but it is not at all original. The Kilkenny Moderator publishes the following among the answers to correspondents, in its last =, me sends us the following curious old Kilkenny play jously to the formation of the far famed lemen amateurs, but evidently relating to performances in the same theatre: — A COMICAL PLAY BILE THEATRE ROVAT Py hie Majesty's Company of Comedians (The \ast night, because the Company go to Morrow to On Saturday, May 14, 1793, aterford.) ‘Will be performed, by command of several respectable eople in this learned metropolis, for the benetit of Mr earns THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET, ‘Originally written and composed by the celebrated Dan Hayes. of Limerick, and inserted in Shakepere's works.

N. B.—No person whatsoever admitted into the boxes without shoes or stockings. Avetratia—The Melbourne Argus, of Sept. 16, says:—The entertainments at the Theatre Royal have been diversified by a series of hippo-dramatic perform- ances, ay neither popular nor profitable. Mr. G. V. Brooke has achieved a great success in the part of inal Wolsey, in “Henry the Righth,” and Colonna, in Shiel’s “Evadne.” The Princess’s theatre has been opened ny the Misses Gougenheim, and the speculation is under- stood to have a snecessfal one, The Philhar- monic Society gave their fourth concert for this season at thet inning of the month in the Exhibi- tion Building. Haydn's “Imperial Mass,” Hande “Coronation Anthem,” and the “Hallelujah Chorus” from the “Mount of Olives,” were given on this oc casion, | pl "sHE BOOK TRAD Cuptdity, dic., dic. ‘Book literature is |, authors are gone to Grub street, and the Sunday papers and publishers (those who were not snuffed out like tallow candles in the late financial gale) have taken to the very harmless pursuit of sucking their thumbs, and wondering why the public will not buy their shelved books, forgetting that they are trash, which has had its day. Publishers generally are ‘but poor political economists; they have no very fine appreciation of literature; they regard it as an article of traffic, to serve immediate use and abuse, as in the exer- cise of their wisdom the case demands. More than two years ago the Hxraup predicted that the policy pursued by American publishers would produce the exact depres- sion now experienced by the trade. Our publishers never for & moment take into consideration that there is such a thing as identifying literature with our nationality, and making it serve asa «reat vehicle refiecting our society in truthful colors, refining our tastes, and creating for itself abealthy demand. In Europe literature has a standard of excellence, and this the publisher respeots and pro- tects, knowing full well that it is that alone which can create a healthy demand for his publications. We have no standard of excellence, and 20 criticism in which the public has the slightest faith. Our .publishers, with fow exceptions, discard literary excellence, build up an un- sound trade in falsehood and puffery, and seek to force a demand for the veriest trash, of which the reading public is become heartily sick. We contend that it is the perni- cious policy adopted by the trade, and which was felt before the panic set in, that has produced this dearth n the book market. ‘Men ignorant of literature, and with scarcely capital en to set up an apple stand at the corner, embark in publishing with the hope of making a fortune out of some wonderful book, written by some wonderful author, dis- covered by some wonderful accident in one of the rural districts, but who, after all, turns out to be a Miss in her teens. And with this wonderful book and wonderful author, the enterprising publisher flashes upon & credulous public, only to practice a decep- tion by declaring he has sold at least hundred thousand copies. Books of a national cha- racter these enterprising publishers will not touch. They must have ‘sensation novels,” “sensation sermons’? and encyclopedias written by “sensation editors.” The first must be written by ambitious females, and have plots slightly obscene, but so diluted with sentimentality as to suit the tastes of the strictly pious, and be in high favor with the critics of the Zrioune, and Such other dilapidated parsons as have a love for books that set the country b the ears, while sustaining their peculiar prejudices. i they make the hearts of school girls flutter, and send spin- sters of forty to meditating matrimony, so much the bet- ter. But they must be sectional—must fire the prejudices of one section of the country and set it against another. ‘The sermons, too, must be of the sensation order; such as will send the religious enthusiasm of the ignorant into a blaze; while the encyclopedia, got up by sensation edi- tors, is expected to make ‘‘a great stir.’’ And with these emasculated and sickly wares, carrying a pernicious influ- ence to the fireside, our enterprising publishers have so nauseated the public that it very properly turns from all new publications with disgust. Bul in order to force their wares upon the public the publisher finds it necessary to resort to expedients that re- flect no great credit upon those who join him in carrying them out. He must have ‘‘the opinions ot the press,” but must crush out honest criticism ; and to do this he employs some needy gentleman, who is critic for not less than three highly respectable’ newspapers, and correspondent for as many more in the rural districts. So engaged, this clever gentleman, who generally has a large circle of fe- male admirers, becomes the ready instrament of his em- er, and is of necessity bound to praise his books in auch papers as he has access to. It is also a well known fact that he will praise books he has not even looked into, and which may be found on the stall of a dealerin secon hand books three hours after he received them. Another well known and equally pernicious practice with these en- terprising publishers is that of compelling the critica in their employ to write a series of “notices” of some “sensation book” they are about tw bring out. And these clever notices, written in the counting- room of the enterprising publisher, and representing the book as a perfect marvel in literature, the critic will get his friends of the country newspapers to insert. By this means the publisher gets a vast number of highly ‘color- ed “opinions of the press,” which he parades in a lengthy advertisement, in which his skill at puffery is developed in singular contrast with bis lack of grammar. The ef. fect of this cannot be other than pernicious, since it is vir- tually practising a deception upon the public. And the public finding it has been deceived time and again, will no longer permit itself to be made the victim of mean- ness. Further, the publisher tells you, without the slight est hesitation, that he has no need to pay for real talent, when by his Own skill at puffing he can force a large sale for that which he can get for nothing. But he forgets Al thata system of trade so based cannot long continu ready even the public has lost all confidence in pub! and critics; and, like a sensible gentleman, seeks ami ‘ment and instruction in old hooks of established reputation. And now, publishers having brought their business to a dead lock, besiege you with ries as to how they can open new channels of communication with the public and regain its confidence. This is the natural result of at- tempting to make forced sales of worthless wares, instead of endeavoring to create a healthy demand for something of real value. But there is still another and greater error in the sys- tem adopted by our recently established publishing houses —the manner in which authors in America are paid. England men live by authorship alone; in America, they, with few exceptions, must of necessity have other means of getting a living. In England, an author of respectabili ty and reputation bas a line dit with his publisher, who regards it for hie own interest to free the author as much as possible from embarrassment, that his mind may be relieved of all outside cares while pursuing his literary labors. We speak of the system common at this time. “Our publishers, on the contrary, require the author to expend his labor and money in the preparation of his book, to wait six months from the date of publication for Asettlement, and to accept notes payable at four and six months for any balance that may be coming to him. The author is also forced to accept the publisher's statement ‘as correct, for he is at his mercy and has no means of ing behind it to ascertain the truth. The anthor may we spent years of labor on his book; and by this perni cious system he is compelled still to give his publisher a credit of some ten or twelve months. Under this system there is no chance for dependent genius to riseand de velope itself, except in the newspapers. Ag for publish: er’s notes, we have nothing to say against them, except that it has become the fashion to fail before they fall due, leaving the ‘writers’ of sensation novels a prey to th infuriated broker, who shaved them at six per centa month. Indeed, it wae no rare sight of late to see an author in Wall street pleading his necessities with one of those sharp gentlemen, of whom he expected a discount, and was offering nis publisher's note at a third off. How- ‘er, it must not be forgotten that in good times the genero- sity of the publisher will prompt him, in consideration of the author's necessities, to discount bis own notes for the trifling sum of three percent a month. This we assert in & common practice with New York publishers, and will go far to illustrate the peculative character of the relations now existing between them and their authors. Indeed, while American authors have been struggling to extend the field of their labors, American publishers, imstead of subserving their own interests by encouraging them, have only thrown obstacles intheir way. Whenever an effort was Je to get an international copyright, where by the author might secure some protection for his labor, and extend his usefulness into other countries, the Ameri can publisher was the first to come forward and oppose it. And now, when he feels the blighting effects of his own narrow policy, becomes convinced that free Stealing is not good political economy, and that an inter copyright is essential to the protection of his own interests, he turns round and is ite most earnest advocate, but only so far as it will serve bis own selfish ends. He will use the name of the author as a guise, but he cares not a whit for hie interests, and would treat them with aa little respect as he would the interests of the printer and binder, both of whom ought to be duly considered in any international copyright bill. It bas been said, and we fear with too much truth, that Irving and Cooper wore only saved to American literature by the generosity of English publishers. Letus see how far this is true, and also what the American publisher has brought upon him self by his unwavering opposition to an international copyright. ‘p to the year 1862 American books, with fow excep tions, were received in England with some distrust. In deed, it had been long charged that America was without A literature. But the works of «uch authors ax Irving Cooper, Bancroft and Prescott did much to dispel this deeply rooted opinion, while the high literary reputation gained for their works caused them to be sought after by English publishers. Mr. John Murray and Mr. Boutloy, prompted by a sense of justice to authors, whether Eng lish of American, paid all these authors large sums for their worke, which they produced in a style that soon gained for them a demand not surpassed by the works of the most distinguished writers. Indeed, it is well known that Irving received of English pablichers, for his writ ings, very nearly twenty thousand pounds: and that Mr Bentley paid Cooper a sum even larger, It may be said With truth, then, that these gentlemen authors what they had long expec publishers. This was not only ack: tid for American » vain of their own wiedging the claims of our authors to the fruite of the labors, but giv ing to American literature an encouragement it soon began to profit by, since it created a de mand for the books of other American au thors. And the Englieh publieher, having what was tacitly acknowledged a protection for iis purchase the book being first published in England), found the merican book profitable in an English was indeed opening a new fleld to the energi writers, And while these generous advances materially aided the American author in freeing himself from that miserable dependence vipon the American publisher which had characterized luis very existence, ovr literature wae brought prominently forward ond through it the institutions of our country came to be better understood Here, then, we {ft American publishers their might an international copyright of English author, and acting with the meanest spirit toward our own, while the English publisher found it to bis advantage to deal justly with tne American author, to open the field to him upon the same terms as the English,and to let both struggle for the paim. Thas, wholesome Ameri- can literature was encouraged in England, while the trash now thrown upon that et to our disgrace, and for which the pirate publisher demands a price that will barely pay for printing and binding, was shot out by « well regniated syste The publisher who paid for his wares was sareful to get the worth of his money; and the pirate, however much he might long for a chance was held in check by his fears of the Inw f copyright had not then been decided. arket in 1852, through the’ n's Cabin,” was followed by the American book of merit, which dlisher sought with avidity Rarnes, Hawthorn, Bayard ed very considerable sume for their works jae, thie bright prospect field which had been 80 graciously opened to American authors by ‘ appearance reprinting of the English blishers was closed, ot Lord Se. SW.) by the deci- Fev & decision of Lord Campbell, in which i thor whose ‘work pirate left to ph then, is driven back to the nat try, for no honestly disposed @ pound on an American work tion to see pirated the very next da; i market at the mere cost of print the rogue is seen to have the honest man at his mercy. But the most injurious phase of this system is that it affords the English pirate an opportunity of mak: works of our authors supply the place were written by a poor but worthy class of authors. Thus the English pirate takes the bread the moutb of certain English authors, without put into that of the American whose works he steals. it gives him an advantage ovor the American and which that narrow headed gentleman be; to cover is seriously affecting his trade; for, while he do- be om the English market with cheap ‘American books, on which he has no ewe to pay, he prints English books in England, where labor and material are thirty per cent cheaper than with us, and by estab! encies here deluges this market with all varieties of trash, which he sells atless than one-half the American manufacture. This phase ofthe free stealing principle is now developing itself to an alarming extent, and is alike damaging to the printing, binding and paper manufacturing interests of this country. Not long since we had occasion to visit several towns in the interior of this State, in all of which we found the bookstores laden with these cheaply manufactured Eng- lish books. They are seldom noticed by the preas, but pass quietly into the market, and supply a large ‘tion of the demand for reading. Some of these ks are of the most trashy description, got up with showy covers to deceive the purchaser; toed, what may be termed flash literature. Tn several instances we | were assured that this clase of English manufactured books furnished more than one half of the booksellers’ trade, But you have no need of going into the country; the same phase of the trade may be seen throughout this city. And this is the state of thi produced by the opposition of our publishers to an international copyright. Nor must it be forgotten that their love for reprinting this poison of foreign writers, which they could have for the stealing, has seriously affected public taste. Under the influence ot this international free stealing, then, authors are fast being driven out of book literature. But the American publisher will tell you that he wants to educate the American people at a cheap rate; that they are opposed to an international copyright. This is a decep- tion necessary to his system of trade. We have too much respect for the honesty of the American people to believe that they would take any part in degrading mental labor, or desire to see continued a system that inflicts a wrong on one class of the community, that another may profit b: it. We are not speaking of such authors as Dickens, Bul- wer and Thackeray, for they find a nominal protection in this country, as well by the laws of taste, which create a fixed demand for their Works, as by an etiquette of “the trade” that holds it dishonorable for one publisher to publish over the head of another; in other words, that the best thief has the best right to the plumder. In England no such pious respect for priority of theft is known by the trade. Let us hope our members of Congress will take the matter in hand, re-open the field to our authors, and render them an act of justice they have long pleaded for in vain. There is here an excellent chance for some honest member to distinguish himself. Fear only pre vented Mr, Everett from doing it. Personal Inte!
