This being one Of the grealest--if not the very greatest—parts of young Booth’s unapproachabie father, it was not strange to notice among the audience some of our veteran playgoers, who were probavly led thither by @ desire to compare, aa it were, the anctent and modern methods of rendering the same tragic Ole, Now here let us not despise the Judguient of the youthful Aabitnes of our theatres 1n the preseat day for their adoration of Edwin Booth in such characters as Sir Giles. But candor compels us Lo Saythat the veteran, or ola school style, is to the fancy of the old theatre visitors, and possibly to many of the younger ciass, far preierable to that adopted in this modern age and generauon. It may be said that the veteran togies of our day are somc- thing like the “aassingers’’ that the inimitable Wil- ham E. Burton used to talk and make our people laugh so much about years ago, Salad he— “There are no sassingers, my boy, like the sassin- gers of our days of muoceace. Them was the days when we had Confidence in our sassingers, They were ten sweet and toothsome; but now we see red yarn, bow-wow and hiz-'scat in every luk.’’ In other words, there are no actors like the actors of our days of lunocence; ang the prejudices then formed are noteastly overcome. Who can recall the electric Mire of the elder Booth without lamenting that be Nas NO representative On Lhe stage of our day? Who can reflect upon the merry dogs of tut child of Momus, Tom Piacide, without praying for tae re- storation of such a genius in bis line In thia our present day’ We have not the space at this time to Juvoke the presence of ail the giovious histrionic apse of the paat, who used to Mil such temples a3 the old Park, the old Bowery, the oid Valmo’s, the old Niblo’s and the old other places in our city, and thus arouse the feelings of the men of & past period to the shortcomings of some of the star actors of the present. Knough tat we express our convictions that Booth, the younger, 1s not the peer of Booth, the elder, in the character of Sir Giles at least. The sureaks of the elder’s gentus which occaslonaily dash through the young- er’s personutions are too ephemeral end transient to establisi: his reputation upon so exalted a pinna- cle as some of his over-zealous friends would erect for him, In the character of Sir Giles last nigut he was tame to positive weariness during the first two: and part of the third acts. ile did nob come up to the standard of E.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BOARD OF INDIAN ComMISsIONEKS, WASHINGTON, March 21, 1870, The callof the United States Senate brought out the report to-day from the War Department on the bombardment of the Indian village at Wrangel, in Alaska, last Christmas week, The re} 4 shows the oe bey 4. O° ey. er fe eH amar Wa Sérlously cdinmenced by the shooting of an Indian nanted Siawan by a guard of soldiers, under Lieutenant M. R. Loncka, of twenty soidiers The lieutenant took a gu: and went to Siawaa’s cabin at midnight. He left eight of his men at the door, and taking twelve with bim, arranged them In single file wisnin the door, with orders to fre when he should give the signal by raising his hand. Siawan and bis brother atau, with two women, were on the floor alone, though, Lieutenant Loucks says, perhaps ao lew others were sleeping in different parte of the house. The lieutenant touched Siawan on the shoulder and told him to come witn nim. He arose from his sittiug posture, asked for his vest, coat, &c., and finally both he and his drenken brother got excited at the sight of the soldiers, threw up their hahds and sald they were not afratd to die, and made a move as elif trying to seize one of the soldiers guns. The lieutenant then cut him over the head with his sword to stun, not to kill mm. In doing this I iaa given the signal to fire by raising my hand. About six or eight shots were fred, and they | only ceased when Siawan fell dead at the feet of the detachment, The next day an Indian, nearest of kin to Siawan, agreeably to the Indian jaw to avenge this killing of his reiation, shot with buckshot the first witle man he met, who proved to be Leon Smith, the post trader, and who died in a few days. Usptain Burrows, commanding the post, then demanded ‘this man and threat. ened to bombard the Indian village by Noon if he was not delivered up. The jians not responding, at two o'clock P.

Day's FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE—"FROU-FROU." = We last night sat out this play, and we must take ex- ception to the moral meulcated by it. It is danger- ously fascinating, but nevertheless it is too Mach in the Beecher and Frothingham, alias aMnity, style to piease any man who regards his family circle as in- violable an@ sacred. Here is a Woman who marries and leaves ber sband and child, in the most teuder manner granted; but the poison lies in the insidious venom introduced into married lie by the author. Outside — of this It 13 @ charming play, and as acted by Mr. Daly’s inimitable company it excites the fecliags of the audience to tears and laughter.

Park THEATKR, BROOKLYN.—Last night was the first performance of “Frou-Frou’’ at the above theatre. There was a crowded louse and an ap- Preciative audience. The piece was well put on the stage, aud all the decorative part of the drama excecded the anticipations of those who have had the largest opportunities of judging of previous efforts at this well-managed littie theatre. In the card ¢! Mrs. Conway issued in the bills announc- ing “Frou-Frou” e#he said that in the production of this drama sne had adopted as her motto “Excel- sior.” it was @ bold motto, but te prophecy Was fulfilled, Like the music of Verdt Mrs. Con- Way's histrionic efforts seem to rise higher, bigher aud higher. ter §Gliberte (Frou-Frou) was well studied, thorougiily conceivea avd perfectly per- sonatead.

Maury delivered @ lecture om the above interesting subject last evening, at Association Mall, corner of Twouty-third street and Fourth ave nue, The audience, though not large, was of am ime tilectual character. ‘The lecturer commenced by saying (that the subject he bad to speax of was the long agitated problem of the way to the Norte Pole. Columbus and Vasco de Gama lad flourished and made their eforts in this direction long before the seventeenth century had developed tne fact of a connection between the Arcti¢ and Antarctic oceans. Since that time several enterprises for the disco very of the pameas to the North Pole were undersaken, but had fated Jor the want of any well defined pian, Captain Mali, the great explorer, was soon, he waa happy te Say, to start with an expedition under the ‘Amert cau flag for the purpose of making one More edort towards this much desired discovery. Af ter giving some details of bis ex; as sailing masier of the ship on Previa, which he sailed for the Sandwich Isiands and other places, iminediately after tie Mexican war, lecturer proceeded to say that after the retura’ she Preble to the United States ol &c., Were placed ta tua hands for the purpose of where all these currents and counter of the world were situated. ‘The location of the two great currents of the Pacific amd Atlantic were thus found out. The secumu- lation about the Pole of these two offshoots must find an outlet somewhere. ‘There was also -Uurd current which underiay the Guif stream as croased the Atiantic. So long as these currents OF streams were buried in the ocean they radiated or gave vut little heat, Since these streams aed such a wonderful power to possess heat, it did not seem impossibie to him that they emitted heat enough to meit the ice around the North Pole and keep the water in that locality free to @& certain exteaw The route suggested by Captaia Bent. by way of Behring Straits was the firat soten- tloexperiment ever hog goes Nothing but the most urgent necessity bad prevented mariners from trying allotner points, but they never dreamt of trying the route by way of Spitzbergea or Behring Straits. it was the opmion of Cap- tain Hail that not one serious effort had yes been made to reach the Pole by way of Behring Straits. The theory of thermotic gate- ways to tle pole was based on the nature of the curs rents of the sea. Such an influence was exerted by tie great body of water called the Guit Stream thas the Toames, in England, had been frozen over only fourteen times in the course of a number of years, Aver some further remarks, tu which he spoke Strongly in tavor of trying (he Belling oiralts rouse, tae ‘ecturer closed.
