The uvknowa steamer hitherto reported ashore sine miles vorth of Cape Lockout proves to be the scrow steamer Apbrodite, chartered by the Navy Department to transport from this port to the Gulf a draft of seamen apd marines for the West Gulf blockading squadron, ua- der tbo charge of Commander A. G. Clary aud an officer of the Marice corps. Four or five of the seamen are re- ported lost by drowning or by the more terrible death from the inaumerable sharks which ate found along the Southern coast. The balance of the officers and men ly tanded, it 1s thought, on Cedar Island, from which,they have doubtless ere this been rescued by the LS fers. The Aphrvdite was a pew steamer and only on her second trip. She was a sister ship of the Fort Morgan. The ship and cargo will prove a total loss, it is feared.

On one of the Fourth avenue cara yosterday, for oxample, a passengor refused plumply to pay the extra cent, and on the conductor atcompting to enforce the process of ajectment the whole car itterally rose aod competied the rash railway em. ploye to desint. Thecar upon which this occurred was No. 81. It seems that the passenger,a young man of genteel appearance, was the only person tn the car who refused to pay the additional cent, and the oon- duotor, doubtless deeming that the singular ta- dividual was ‘without friends," became emboldened to exercise the extreme authority of putting him out of the car. How groat was his mistake was amply snown by the result, for the conductor was complotely cowod by the complete unanimity evinced by the passengers. It is Probabie, however justifiable the managors of the Fourth Avenue line may consider their attempt to inorease the old rate of fare, thas they will not again give ordere—it fadeed they ever did—to enforce payment by @ resort to physical force. ‘Che Fourth Avenue Company, it is true, Gre not restricted to the same dogree as the Otber com. | eto bat they should bear in mind that they are not youd the power of those who bestowed upon them their charter, with its many vatuable privileges.

Owens, the oome- _ dian, bas “fairly won tho boartiest approval of the theatre- goers of the’ Metropolis. Several weeks ago be began an engagement a * the Boadway theatre—an establishment struggiing bard ,"° Maiotuin itself among our recognized respectable places .Y amusement, aud but just relorsed from the dominion . that class of the drama which delighta ip imitating an ‘eat sculpture, at least so far as regards paucity of drapery. He opened in Married Life, as Mr. Dove—a part which, w.Uile it delighted those who sdw it, yot gave 00 adequate a.@ for bis ability, and was 800n followed vy Tou: Taylor "4 Play, the Victims, to which Oweas represented a char. ‘oter, droll enough to be sure, but 60 impossibly funny ap ,'o De® caricature rather than @ representation of any Lume creature in naturo; and this play still maintaing us ,ace om tho stage. At the game time ag pftor The People's has boon nightly given, aud it is the porformance of the new comedian in this play which has lately bocome °%¢ of the bite of town talk. The piece itself is nothin’ worthy of special notice, and has ofteu beca produced at our ,ctty theatres without attracting special attention. 4 Ia this farce Owens takes tho part of Solon Shingle, and tho, very fact that it ia ‘*Yaukee part’ is enough to deter the more {ute!ligent portion of the commuvity from going to witness it; for “In tho mind’s eye" a Yankees, as Feon on the stage, ia a boing fearfully aud wouderfully mado—long and lank, with yollow bair streaming over bia shoulders, @ bat oa his woad broador at the top than at the rim, & waistcoat which leaves a stratum of shirt between it and the yollow and blue striped trowsers which this marvolious creaiure invariably wears. Add to this costume a swallow tail cont, plice in one hand a Piece of piae wood and in the other an open koifo. give to the voice an absurd, cat-like twang, and to the lan- guage a dialoct which consists principally of the words tarnation,’’ ‘‘cute” aud ‘“reckon,'* and you have tho stage Yankee as dolincatod by those actors who undor- take the part. Owens does nothing of the sort. His Solon Shing'o, in The People’s Lawyer, is an old Yankeo farmer, sich as everybody who has been ia that vaguo place, ‘the coun try,"’ must remembor, He dressos sbabbily, but carries fifty dollar bills iu bts pocket; he makes absurd and ridi- culos remarks, but yet has a fund of shrewd sense, he seems very simple, and yot is not to be easily outwitted bo looks very seedy, and yet well dressed folks are not ashamed to shake him by the hend. Such a character Owens has made a study which is a real wonder of dra- matic art, From tho first to the last scene he is utterly the country farmer; and (hough the expression is 80 fre- quently used as to have lost most of its forve, his ideutifi- catiow with the part is complete, ‘The most natural, yet most remarkabie, bits of by play constantly keep up the wraisemblance, Half the young men in town now meet each other with the familiar salutation, “Why, how do you do?’—imitating with more or leas truth the simple, senile, yet boarty, expression, of solon Shiogle Owens. The puraca ‘Jes’ so,’ “You havea’t seen @ barre! o' apple sags’? are also passing into the slang of ihe day. But it \s not so easy to imitate the ox, tion, the play of the tebacco quid, the delight. fat garrulity of tho old man; wbilo to aee Owens, a8 Shin- gle, gather bis coat ekirts around him, fooi for the arm of the chair, and gradually drop into the seat with an injmi- table little squeak, as of old oge aliyhtiy abocked but after ail pot burt, is to insure as bearty'a laugh and as amusiog & recollection as one need desire Of course, when praising in unstinted terms a per- formance of tuia class, it ta wolj to. bear in mild the grado of the subject re ted. The same adjective may be appliod to a cabiuct picture and to @ canvass of Giorgone, and, though correctly ueed in both instacces, y bave @ vory different meaning. So, in praising Owens, the praise does not necessarily imply high com mendation of the style of picces he appears in. visitor to tho Broadway theatre may wondor why so feo charming artistic skill ia lavished on a iriling i yet be will recognize this skill at once. Comic de- tions like those of Owens are to high tragic art what a Dutch interior from tho hands of an acrompliahed painter—an interior with its stout little girl peeling vege- tadles, its bird in the cage, and its beams of sunlight fluoding the room—is to a battie pieco ot Vernet or a glowing canvass of Paul Voronese.
