Perform, but which he does not like, Now, the janitor of the Globe—even were he an exceptional man among a_ race not usually renowned for an ornate intelli- gence—was hardly the person to be ‘selected in a theatre for the reception of a re- turned part; nor can there be a question that Don Salluste was a part in every way worthy of Mr. Wallack, and one eminently fitted to his peculiar individuality, and which it was his duty, from his position in the theatre, to play. There was a period of the drama—its brightest and its beet—when men like Munden, Dowton, Macready and a host of others, imagined it ‘was their business to make parts; and even in our own day such men as Lester Wallack, Blake, Jefferson, Warren, and Sothern, in one instance, have cherished a similar gay delu- sion. As a rule, however, nowadays, actors expect the parts to make them. Had it been presented, as it ought to have been, by a gon- jtleman, Mr. Wallack would doubtless have ‘accepted this part. Mr. Fechter, however, forgetful of that cultivated grace and that ex- quisite politeness, at least from the lip, which is the attribute of his own dear France—dear even now amid all her sorrows—would seem ito have exchanged parts, and addressed a note ito Mr. Wallack just such as Don Salluste would have written to his lacquey Ruy Blas. ‘This, of course, closed all discussion. Mr. |Wallack, however, did not invite Mr. Fechter ‘to follow him to Long Branch, N. J. The cur- tain descends on him very wisely and pru- ‘dently clinging to the big-hearted Cheney, who jseems to have had stomach for them all. The third act is brief. After the manner of ‘the Greek chorus Mr. Fechter details his woes, and takes, of course, occasion of the sensation to wind up with the usual classic actorial pe- oration that he and Miss Leclerq, a fair maiden who has followed him with tender de- votion through the drama, will take a benefit ‘and appear “for a few nights more.” It is impossible to contemplate this drama ‘without feeling that the real object of pity is poor, big-hearted Cheney. It may be that he deserves his fate for interfering in matters for which he is not fitted either by education or by taste. But when it is remembered that he furnished the monetary music for this most grotesque dance, one cannot see without com- miseration how utterly his interests are lost sight of amid their petty quarrels by a number ‘of artists to whom he has given salaries of more than double their desert. Nor can we refrain from asking why it is that actors, more than any other class of animals, have such a passion for dragging their miserable (however ‘amusing) personal quarrels into light, and re- joice in making themselves subjects of ridicule at every opportunity to the rest of mankind. (There are many of the profession who possess ‘accomplishments that would lend grace and charm to any sphere of life, but even on their own mimic stage no aetor is presented by another, and they are presumed to be the best judge of each other’s nature, save as a crea- ture of maudlin sentimentalism or empty bom- bast—all fuss, feathers and falseheod, the ridicule and pity of the play. Did the divine imagination of Dickens picture a reality or an exaggeration when he drew Crummels asa representative of the class? Let them, at least, take a lesson from this absurd row in ‘Boston, put on a philosophic mind, and in the fature wash at home that dirty linen of which they exhibit abroad so soiled a profusion.

This public and pressing difficulty is experlenced, a8 we are wla by British authority, in consequence of the certain absence of the French representative from the Congress, but the real cause—the fact and truth of the matter—is to be found in the embar- rasaing position in which England is placed by the formal notification whick has been given her by the Russian government, to the effect that the clause of the Treaty of Paris of 1856, which attempts to regu- late the navigation of the Black Sea, has been already abrogated by the act of the Czar Alexander, aud that it is “out of the power of a Congress to alter his dectsion’’ in this respect, BRITISH HOPE OR CERTAINTY.
