WORSHIP AT THE ACADEMY. iat H » Robert Collyer’s Sermon Last Even- ing—Solitude Cenducive to Temptation—A Wholesome Social Life Strengthening to the Soul. . Rev. Robert Collyer, of Chicago, preached the free religious services held at the Acad. emy of Music last evening, and at least twenty- five hundred people weyded their way through the pelting rain storm to see and hear him, Ali She Unitarian churches of the city were closed last evening in order that thelr congregatiens might have an opportunity to attend the Academy, and had it not been tor the extremely inclement weather @ repetition of the scene on the occasion of Dr, Cha- pin’s sermon at the Academy a few Sunday even- ings since (when the house was jammed and han- areds were unable to obtain even entrance to the building), would, no doubt, nave been witnessed, ‘Last evening the house was well Milled, The services were conducted by Rev. Henry Powers, as usual, and were opened by singing and prayer. Rev. Mr. Collyer announced his text from Acts fv., 82, “The multitude of them that belleved were all of one heart, one soul; neither sald any of them that the things ne possessed were bis own.” It was tm the morning of Christianity that this was done, and it was the first demonstration of the power of ‘une Christian life in its primitive form. We observed a muititude wita one human soul and the multitude With one sou! uuited in one common purpose—the Jowest to reach up and the loftiest to reach down ‘unui! they stood on a Christian line to transform te world, He walted 10 speak about the biessedness of this Iile 1a iis own simple essence and In rela- tion to lie in the Churches and to the Chris. 0 fait in its largest form. In the nature’ iow our Own Only the most mischievous was ine most solitary. The upas was not so deadly, but it ‘Was still found only here and there in Ceyion, and falling back beyond the glance of social vision. It was ib the whole world below us that sav- agery and treachery snould growl and scream =to. =itg sown = echo, ~— but kindly wure rested itself in the presence of nosts of Its Kind and nestied in iriendly good feliowsuip, The soul of evil always sought soutude. The most soll- tary men are generally objects ‘of tear and sus- Picion, ‘The most solltary places were always con- nected by TRADITIONS OF. MURDER, and by surmise with ghosts, ‘the monks and her- mits who joa alone De ware the preacher of lonely apple trees tat oe belonged to an oll homestead now deserted, Every sort of creature came to see what they were. The fences around the house were ail down and the trees were as full of sores as Lazarus. They bore iruit, perhaps, but not so good and much as when they were m the orchard and under tender care. A man like Wattiier was a hermit in his own way, aud it would be far better for Whittier and for us it he came more among us. Yet no man in America was more tnt-- male With us in soul tian he was. If the young men ‘of tus town away irom home would sé out and tind a church on Sunday morning, instead of remain- ing at home smoking and BROODING OVER THEIR SOLITUDE, they would be far beiter otf, because they would be plubged into the company of fis kind. Mr, Coli- yer’s memory of a young man was that tere Was a great deal more temptation in beng alone than im company, and his experience was that one or two of your own sort did not beip you much. The essence of a wholegome social life gave strength in the soul, whiic to be suiky and solitary was to lose strength and gain temptation. The men who ald not like to ve WIth Tien Would not like to be with angels. It was the giory of the Cartstian Church to gather men ana ‘Women a8 much as possible into great masses and multitudes, to profit tiem by ils spirit and quicken them to a higher life. A common and very erro- neous idea ol the Christian Church was that It was something pecuilarly separate, not idenucal with the common multitudes and inighty social orders. The Curisuian Church was A SPIRITUAL ARISTOCRACY, as proud as anytiing on the earth, The real Christian Churoh, whatever be its name, knew no wolauion, It could only be in the full sense ail-per- Yading, invincible, not through its separateness, but by it3 luentity With the masses. All great religious movements originated with men who went among the masses and quickened them. It wastor the Church to make Christian society, as far as possible, society Uhristianized, in concluding, Mr. Collyer said that he was glad to see such an audience as this, and to near that they have such audienes in this city every Sunday night, If they came simply to sing and to hear some simple aspiration towards ‘neaven he woula be glad to hear of it, because he knew that they would be greatly better oi in a ae multitude than they would be isolated—com- as they did to hear manful ana serious talk irom men of every church, hear, however, that SOME MEN WHO HAD A BETTER RECORD sforetime could not come because-such men as Chapin and Collyer came! But for such meu to come as would come—sirong-hearied, wide-eyed, clear-souled, truthiul men—was one of the grandest and best things that coult ve done. He trusted that year in and year out s@&h multitudes would Oontinue to gather there, ‘LEE AVENUE REFORMED CHURCH. The Pernicious Effect of Unbeliei—Sermon by Rev. E. W. Bentley. The pnipit of the Lee Avenue Reformed churcn ‘was occupied yesterday by Rev. E. W. Bentley, of Bilenvilie. He delivered a practical discourse in whe morning upon the sin of unbelief, taking for his text the twelfth verse of the third chapter of He- brews—‘‘Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” In his opening remarks the preacher Baid that the heart 18 the seat of moral force, and that it was noticeable that the Apostle aid not say, “Take need lest there be found in you an immoral life, or an frreguiar creed, or a vicious principle of actton, or an unworthy object of pur- sui.” But Le went deeper than that, striking at the heart, which was the seat of all inspiration and propelling force in the characters and lives of men, Goa’s method in dealing with the religious nature of man was radical in the extreme, differing in this particular from ail creeds of human device, Where men skimmed the surface God ploughed the depths; where men lopped off branches God plucked out roots, Men professed to admire thoroughness and asked for it everywhere. ‘They demanded strength and stability in all enterprises, and utterly despised quackery and sham. Men cursed shoddy, wheter ey found it in a broadcloth coat, in a railroad em- bankment, in a sermon or in a Congressional speech, And yet, in the matter of religion, men wiil pur up with almost every sham that is forsved upon them. In religion they igoored thoroughness and accepted a@uything that did not demand research or painiul eadeavor. The route of heaven, Wich pledged atsel{ to check the baggage G go through by the shortest route, was crowded with passengers, and they looked with @ sort of contempt upon those Who preferred the old line, witn its slower gauge and 1is old fashioned cars, Most men wanted to go te heaven just as people in the country desired to get to New York—to wait tll the tasi train and then take the liguining express, wita siceping car Atiached. ‘They wished to spend the whole day of ile in worldiy avocations and pleasures, and then when night came to take an easy berth ‘and wake up ready 1or business in the next world. All schemes of iaith which leit tue siate of men's bearts out of view were, from the necessity of we case, sams and frauls. AS & man thinketn io «6his) heart so is he.” Everybody knew that a man might feei one thing in his heart and do another thing in hts daliy life, Aman migat be a thief in is heart and vet never steal in actual tact. He might be @ republican at heart and voie a democratic ticket all tus lie, and vice versa. God's scheme of iaith was the only one that recognized the distinction between the outer and the inner lives of men. A spurtoas Christianity said, “Be honest, kind and loving; do not vioite human laws, do not break the rules of society, do not transgress the proprieties of good fellowship, and you are a good epougn Chrisiiau.” A man mugiit come up to all those requirements and yet be in nis heart @ reprobate, having no likeness to Christ and no fear of God. But when God be- comes entrenched in the smner’s heart, which 1s Uke the capital of a nation, He is master of the situa- tion. The conquered, outlying forces mignt create aisturbance, but the work of subjugation would go steadily on till at length every outpost would sur- fender and the whole man come under the Divine away. The speaker proceeded to show that an un- believing heart was an evil one, espectally in lead- ing men to distrust the Bible and its blessed femtees, which concerned man’s highest interests. i, usefulness and happiness of mankind here and their eternal blessedness was dependent upon their obedience to the instructions of God’s Word. It was terrivie to throw this life away, but it wa! awiul beyond senception to ful eternal happi- ness away; Aat was what every unbeliever Was floing.

The People Demand Frontier Protection. « Forbearance Has Become Unendurable. Depredations of the Rio Grande Ruffians, TEXAN SENTIMENTS. Cause and Progress of the War in Mexico. The Galveston News says the following account of the cause and progress of the Mexican revolu- tion was prepared by Colonel J. W. Young, who commanded a brigade under General Rocha in the army of Juare’ At tne last election for President of the republic of Mexico the candidates. were Benito Juarez and Seiior Don Lerdo, Juarez had already served two terms as President, amounting to twelve years, ana was charged, !n connection with his Cabinet, of haying grown rich at the expense of the govern- ment, or, in other words, of baving robbed the government, and the charge was well grounded, ‘The people were opposed to the re-election of Juares for mauy reasons, prominent among which was this: that he had been i office long enough, and his strong exertions for re-election looked very much as thongh he was anxious to have a life lease of the good office of President, Lerdo was elected | President by the popular vote of the people, but through some underhanded manceuvering on the partof the friends of Juarez it was decided to be a tle, and the election was thrown into the House of Congress to decide. Juarez, having the influence of government patronage and money, succeeded in being elected by fraud and corruption. ‘The next step to be taken was for the friends of Lerdo to pronounce, and this was immediately taken by Porfirio Diaz issuing a pronunciamento calling 06 good and loyal Mexicans to assist bim in overthrowing the usurper. There was, at this time, no man in Mexico who had more firm Iriends or strong supporters than Porfirio Diaz, a man uni- versally known for nis strict integrity and honor. He unfurled the flag of revolution in the North, aud General Trevino took command in the field, He 1s to-day by far the abiest General ti Mexic simuitaneously the Governors and Generals command of the States of Souora, Chihuahua, G6 hutia, Tamaulipas, Neuvo Leon, Durango, Sinaloa, Zacatecas and San Luis Potost joined the forces of Poriirio Diaz. 1m this extremity the government . Almosi in put for:n its strongest efforts to crush the revolutionists, but im vain,. The army was increased to @ force of 380,000 men; stilt the revolutignists gained ground and soon were in possession of the greatest portion uf the States of Puebla, Oaxaca, Vera Cruz and Guerrero, ana had driven the federal forces tnto a very small compass. Porfirto Diaz, in commana of about three thousand mten, had marched from the extreme north of San Luis Potosi as far south as Oaxaca, followed at a respeciful distance in the rear by General Lostenes Rocha, incommand of a superior force of federal troops. In the meantime General Trevino, assisted py Generals Donati Guerra, Garcia ae la Cardena and Neri, had met with aseries of victories in the north, aud had captured the cities of Camargo, Mier, Monterey, Zaeatecas, Saluilio and Agua Cali- entes, while Porfirio had taken possession of" the city of Oaxaca in the south, Seeing that the government was putting forth its mightiest efforts to recapture the city, Portirio evacu- ated it and General Rocha took possession ana Immeaiately started in pursuit of Porfirio, who marched 1 the direction of Orizaba, in which neighborhood Rocha came up with nim bat declined batule. Porfirio continued lis march towards the north, while Rocha turned west towards Puebla, intending to orm a junction with the forces under General Corellia, and, thus reintorcea, prevent Por- firio from rejoining General Trevino, General Rocha unexpectedly encountered a torce of revoiutionists under General Negrete, near Puebla, gave battle and was whipped. ia the meantime Generals Tre- vino, Guerra and Cardena were besieging General Corella in San Luis Potost. The government tele- graphed to Rocha to immediately come to the city of Mexico and take command of all the available forces that could be raised and march by forced marches to the relief of San Luis. Potosi. General Trevino, hearing that Rocha was coming, marched out to meet him, and, coming up With him. finas that ne has ubout twelve thousand men, while he nad only 6,000, He very prudently falls back to where he had ‘left 7,000 men, under Dona Guerra. Corella, learning that Rocha was coming out to re- lieve him, marened out to meet him, when Trevino fell upon him and deieated him, driving him back into San Luis Potosi, Rocha marches on Zacatecas and captures It, with some three pieces of artillery and about two hundred prisoners. Trevino, being satisfea that San Luis Potosi cannot be taken, falls back to Monterey, leaving Donati Guerra to watch the movements of ‘Generals Coreila and Kocha, Rocha, learning that Trevino had left, sends out a force of 4,000 men to fight Donatiaiuerra, Who, hear- ing of their coming, prepares to meet them and suc- ceeds in driving them back to Zacatecas, With a108s of 700 prisoners and twelve pieces of artillery. Trevino calls in ail the reinforcements he can from Generat Quiroga, commanding at Camargo and at Monte- rey and unites them with those of General Cardena, Neri and Donal Guerra, and attacks Rocha at Za- catecas, deieating him and capturing the city. This 18 the present situation. General Alatorre is Com- mander-in-Chiet of une Mexican army, General Rocha bemy the fighting general, in whom the gov- erment has the greatest confidence, General Pala- cto and General Corella come next in the federat army. General Porfirio Diaz 1s the head of the revolution, General Tfevino being the fighting gen- eral, Who has met with such signal success, General Garcia de ia Cardena, General Neri, Gen- eral Negrete and General Donati Guerra, being all good generals, have been very successiul. They are all with the revolutiouists, What Texas Demands, ‘The following article is a leading editorial in the San Antonio Herald, of March 29, It recapitulates the grievances of the people of Texas, and, while tt does not wish the annexation of Mexico, it de- mands a protectorate and insists upon fronuer pro- tectiol From our immediate proximity to the northern provinces of Mexico we are directly and intmately affected by her stavus or condition, ‘whether that pe peaceable or in turmoil, There has been for the past twenty years no recurrence of hostilities be- tween the factions of Mexico that has not disturbed and seriously and injuriousiy aifected our commer- cial and other relations with her, Texas has borne the evils thus inflicted with a forbearance and a pa tence that have not been either properly or cor- rectly appreciated by her own central government or by that of Mexico. Indeea her own central government fas turned a deaf ear to her earnest aud repeated and importnnate solicitations for protection not only from the depredations that have been unceasingly committed oy the Mexican people and by Kickapoo, Seminole and Lipan In- dian on the same frontier, aad all raiding from the neighboring provinces Of Mexico, bat we have asked also to be protected im ail the diversity of our commercial relations trom the direct consequences arising from the trequently disturbed and insurrec- Uonary state of the northern provinces of Mexico. Our commerce fifteen or twenty years ago, was of great aud increasing importance to Texas, but Irom the want of adequace protection from our own government and from the conunued preda- tory locursions of Mexicans and Indians, aod from the more general disturbances — aria- ing from their civil wars, ib has diminished greatly; Texans have sufered incaleulably, and \hese predatory incursions are increasing in [re- quency and these josses enlarging in amount. Every Texan knows tiat our great statesman, Sam Houston, urged strenuously upon our then national and Low ceatral government a protectorate over Mexico as essential to the lives, property and com- mercial interests of Aiuericans, and equally as ne- cessary to the nheaitoy iife and prosperity of Mex- ico, And while We Were somtimes found in oppost- ton fo the views and personai predilections of that clear-headed politician yet there were many of his political measures that We most cordially supportec nor Was there one that so clearly comaiended itsel to our earnest support than his proposition to ex- tend a protectorate over Mexico, because we viewed it as an act of seli-detence, ce the death of that eminent patriot there has scarcely passed a day the conviction has not been impressed upon our attention that 1b constitutes the only remedy jor ail of our Mexican troubies, and essential to the establishmten: of a free and untrammelied commer- cial intercourse. Had the protectorate of Houston been estabiisned years ago, as urged by him, we would not to-day have to complain of our cattle being stolen by thousands, driven across the con- tyguous Mexican provinces and sold or corralied in the mountains with impanity, We would not now be called upon to look in Cold blood upon the existence of civil War and massacre and the de- cauence into barbariam of the Mexican people on the northern border of Mexico; nor woula our indignation fave been aroused at the depopulation of our own coun. tess in that portion of Texas lying on the Rio Grande. Unless our own government Wil exercise an authoritative protection quiet can never be established in Mexico; norcan the Texan's frontier ever possess immunity Irom the present raids that are laying waste nis fertile plains, mur- dering ner settlers, burning her ranches ald: steal- mg her cattle, As for the annexation of Mexico, while we Know that such an event would, indeed, be fortunate lor that how unhappy country, we do not belteve that it would prove so to us; it would certainly entail upon us a —_ large expense and a great deal of vexation and trouvle. We do not want it But we must compel them to weep the peace and to govern themselves in ranquillit y and to hold themselves subject to inter- national law. In a word, we have borne with wanton ills inflicted by alexico upon Texas and Texans until lorvearance has become unendurable, which, bat for the culpable, nay, criminal, supineness of our own govermment, We should never have been required to submit to such damnable outrages and imyuries. We now demand irom our government ampie protection, not only trom invasion, :nurder, cattle thieving, whether by Mexicans or’ Indinns, but we aiso demand protecuon tor our commerce with Mexico and its reveuues—by the prevention ol smuggling and the insuring of tranguillity and sale travelling along the northern border of that aisiracted country. Depredations en the Rio Grande. We find the following in the Galveston Civilian of March 29: ‘The Judge, Deputy Marshal and jurors of the United States Court arrived this morning trom Brownsville, on the Rio Grande. Among the mem- bers of tne jury from Galton are Messrs, C. Dart, J. M. Conrad, N. N. Jordap, L. £, Barris, James Nor- ton, Samuel Parr, ‘thomas McGovern, Daniel Buckley and James F. Maguire. We have received & full copy of the ‘important presentment made by te Grand Jury. ‘They lound fility- seven true bills of indictmeat, belug mostly for violations of tne revenue laws. Inregard to the matter of the deprecatory war which has been waged against the defenceless citi- wens of the Unitea States, and residents of the valley of the Rio Grande, the Nueces, the Kio Frio, and their tributaries, they say @ presentment will not give an adequate idea of the extent of the hos- tile operations, the number of valuable lives lost and the aggravated character and the enormity of the excesses which organized bands of men, fitted Out In Mexico, have perpetrated upon the people of Western Texas. Many lacis, however, are stated, and several hun- dred pages oi evidence forwarded to Washington Jor Lhe Inspection of the government. The evidence shows that a depredatory war has existed on the ironuler since 1865; that tt has veeu waged by men organized lu Mexico, by Mexican soldiers, acting under the orders of a Mexican general, and com- Tmanded directly by Oilicers of the Mexican army; that tie authorities of Mexico, civil an iuitary, have countenanced, aided and sup. ported these hostile operations; that the .mar- Kets have been used openly and publicly to effect the sale of property robbea Irom the people of Texas; that the custom house and municipal an- taorities of Mexico have profited by the piratical acts of MeXican soldiers and highwaymen, aud @ tx has been levied upon cattle which they knew had been taken by armed bands from’ the rightiul owners; that tue people on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande consider and treat the Americans as enemies; they claim the country between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, and express a determinalion to arive the Americans from tt. Recruiting in,Texas for the Mexican Army. ‘Ihe San Antonio Heraid says that Pedro Valdez, late commander of the government forces at Piedras Negras, had been on a recruiting expedition to San Antonio in the interest of Juarez, He lett tor Mexico on the 27th uit, taking with hum forty re- erults. i ‘Texan itiments. The Houston Union says the United States, if she concludes to take Mexico, ought to give her to people, to say nothing of the murders committed. The Corpus Christ! Advertiser says that about the best lick Grant could make would be to give the Mexicaus an essentially good licking. Stirring Appeal of a Texan to tae Represens tative tn Congress of, the Suilering People on the Mexican Border. Hon, Joun Hancock, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. Srr—I notice in the public prints that you purpose moving the appointment of @ commission to inves- tigate affairs upon the Texas-Mexican frontier. ‘Tne Texan public expect something mure, and will justify the humblest citizen in speaking very plainly and bringing directly to the notice of tne Represen- tative of the Western district the only remedial agency they regard as applicable to the case. Do you propose to stop with a commission of inquiry simply? Why, sir, in view of tne fact that the gov- ernment 1s already abundantly informed by the records in its several departments, as well as by the Tepeated and most solemn appeals of the Texas Legislature, your cunstituents can put regard such @ mouon merely, upaccompanied by séme eMicieat backing up, as evidencing lack of nerve on your part. In view of such an ineffective step they can only look forward to delays, to continued raids aud robvery and murder—in short, to the prolongation of the present state of things mvo the future as the irrevocable fate 0 our frontier people. Js 1t asked what the peopie of Texas demand at your hands? I reply that, comprehending your post- ton before them and the nation, they would that you handle this question feariessly—standing up boluly ag the representative of the Texas trontier and ibe national boundary—and bring belore the na- tion our Wrongs and outrages—notuing but the sinple facts—and followiag up the solemn presen t- ment by a resolution directing the Presiaent of the United States to order the forces at his commana, which are stationed at the ports along the lower Rio Grande, to summarily Occupy the west bank of suid river irom Bagdad to Piedras Negras, and that the same ve held until Mexico gives sausiaction for past spoliations, whatever they may be found to be, and security for the future, Nothing short of this demonstration will clear your. skirts or satisiy Texans of the West. Your act, as herein suggestea, would fill their hearts with gratitude; the whole State would resound with expressions of adinira- tion and approval for such an earnest and convine- ing discharge of duty in their behalf, This course will arouse and command the national attention, ‘The great mass of those who are opposed to ac. quiring an inch of Mexican territory would have ine government resort to this step, becaase they are convinced that nothing short of 1t—nothing short of temporary occupation of the Mexican border—will avai anything; and because It is patent to all men that by ts act, Without injustice to Mexico, put ratner (or Ler salvation, without the shedding of oue drop of blood—war being out of the question— ‘without one dollar addaitional expense to the gov- ernment, the Mexican froatier would undoupiedly be immediately pacified, and fhe permanent trau- quillity and = security of the Umiwed States ‘texas border efiectually provided for. Justi- fied by every consideration, this step is not only demanded by your constiiuen but it is beileved that it 1s now in your power toeffect it. Such a measure would challenge the approval of the nation, wile its prompt execution by the United States would call out the hearty en- dorsement of all Christendom, Yours 1s the oppor- tunity, now is the hour, aad nothing short of an attempt im this direction—neither soit words, nor tuits of grass, or frontier commissions dragging their slow length along, in presence of an auarcay which shocks civilization—will meet the duty aue to your constituents, and from the tuliilment of which ‘Texans demand you shail not snrink, ‘They will measure your efforts by their condition and sufferings, borne for long years with @ patience and jorbearance unparalelled in the trontier history and settlement of any people in America.

Something About the Butcher Baronet—Another English Dramatist Coming to America— How Fechter Gets Along Among tho Britishers—Novelties and Revi- vale—How the Drama Ope- rates on the Banks of the Thames. Lonpon, March 16, 1872. ‘The inventive and constructive facuittes are no longer needed for dramatists, We live in times teeming with ilinstrations of the old saying that truth is stranger than fiction.” If we had only @ man among us who gould paint characters and write dialogue that 1s all that he would have to do for the manufacture of the most astounding dramas. As for plots, the pontes assinorum of all English play rights—bless your heart !--they are as. plentiful in the streets of London as blackberries in a Devonshire iane. Way should a fellow cudgel his poor brains and put his imagination upon the rack for thrilling incidents, sensational adventures and appalling situations, when he has but to look around him to find all these things realy to his band in real life, and that, too, in a state of perfection beyond the power of fancy to con- ceive or words to depict? Take for example this Tichborne case, What @ mine of wealth it Would be to noyellists and dramatists if they had but the tact and energy to work uw! Talk of “the glorious gifts to mhgh imagination given.” When did imagination ever contrive anything so marvellous? Would heart of man e’er think it! A coarse, illiterate slaughter- man from Wapping, who can hardly write his name, crops upin the wilds of Australia; comes to Lon- don; calls himself a baronet; appropriates an ancient and patricien name; luys Claim to the titles, honors and estates of a grand, historic family; gets eighty-five people, some of them in the highest ranks of society and almost all of them of untainted reputation, to swear thas he 1s the very man he pre- tends to be; nay, more—marvel of marvels!—finds a woman prepared to swear with her dying breath that she gave birth to him—that woman being the undoubted mother of the very baronet whom this Wapping butcher dares to personate! Why, if any dramauc author had pretended to mtroduce such a man upon the stage, adding, moreover, that this aaventurer had impoverished the revenues of an tnoffensive family to the extent of: £100,000: mat he had taken eleven jurymen from thelr wives and children for months to gether; that he had brought the judicial machinery of Engiand to a deadlock and kept a Whole nation in an agony of suspense and wonder for more than half ayear, the dramatic author in question would have been decided to be a madman, and the critics would with oue voice have condemned him as a hare-brained fellow, who in a iit of wild enthusiasm had fabricated a Ussue of absurbities hopelessly beyond the range of human possibilty, Well may we exciaim, with St. Augustine, “Credo 7 | quia Wapossivile/? And then What a roaring farce Texas to pay forthe cows she bas stolen from our | “ : . might be made out of the personal pecutiarities of the illustrious claimant and his prison experiences | alter his case had collapsed! At this moment he is in Newgate; but what can the prison authoriiies do with him in nis present condition? And, still more, what will they be able to do with him in the event of his being found gutity of the charge of perjury and forgery pending against nium?

Kechter Was formerly in great favor with London playgoers, put they no longer run after nim as they once did, His Hamiet deughted tne town by its novelty and “aniquenese,”’ The very “wet up’? was something unheard of before, and the goiden locks with which ne properly enough adorned tne nead of the Danish Prince attracted crowds who hac grown tired of the raven haw of Mr. Charies Kean. But wich the moveity the attraction also vanisned, and thougn Mr. Fechter’s Hamlet was a success, luis other Shakspearian impersonations were unquestionaviy Jaiuures. HIS OTHELLO WAS A FIASCO, and his lago, though a performance of genuine merit, did not bit the taste of the town, His great. est triumphs have been and still are In the region of romantic melodrama. He is undoubtedly a man of taste and aollity. His grace and Jervor of manner are very Winning, aud Lue classic elegance and ap- propriaveness of bis gestures and avutudes bespeak his well known fondness for scuip- ture, an art which he once practised; but though his fancy Was lar more poeuc and his im, agination far more original aad creative than they really are, nis unfortunate inability to master the English language wita that puriiy and fluency of pronunciation which Scandinavians often possess, but whica Freacnmen and Germans rarely display, would of itsell disqualify him for tie impersonation of the hero of the Shakspearian drama.
