BELLEW'S HAMLET AT STEINWAY HALL, | The character of Hamlet, as created by Shaks- peare, being one of those which combines in an the realistic, so much of thoughtfulness, such sud- den and severe changes in tone and action, and is one besides which has been, and undoubtedly will continue to be, a mooted question ag to its proper representation, that the attempt to portray the various moods of “the melancholy Dane,” and to speak bis speeches as the author meant them throughout the entire work, is @ task of no small moment. Mr. J. M. Bellew essayed this task last evening at Steinway Hali, and it ts but fair to say that he scarcely fulfilled the expectations of the small, but select audience which greeted him. Accordiag to the ge ged this entertainment was to be a reading. It wasa reading which was not all a reading, and it was @ recitation which Was not all a recitation, Such as it was, however, reading or recitation, it certainly had, in many Particulars, the charm ef novelty. Mr. Bellew entered upon his work with an air of contidence, as if defying criticism. This may be well, as he has studied out the character im his own way, are vastly at variance. It must be said, however, that he faiied, in most of the pathetic parts, to se- cure very close attention and evidences of approba- tion frem bis hearers. In those portions which are worked up to a climax he did command the eyes and ears of ali present, although in those even his style ia open to condem: ion. When begin- ning fhe speech by which the “hit” is to be made he bends his knees—almost crouches—roils out his | words, sends them rapid ter the other in a gort of scolding monotone, an: es the grand climax by raising himself to his greatest height, stretching his arm to a still greater height, throwing back his head and giving out the closing words ip his loudest and highest tones. This, of course, “brings down the house.’ The noise {s infeetious and the audience must have their share of it. In “word painting” alone— that is, without the aid of gestures—Mr. Bellew was not particularly forcible, and often in his em- phasizing he risked the meaning of entire sen- tences, He read the couplet— Foul deeds will rise, ‘Though all the earth o'erwhelm ther to men’s eyes, so that “will” and “all” were the most emphatic js, and, of course, conveyed no meaning to the cessful.

Shortly after three o'clock yesterday afternoon Two Near of more than usual excitement, caused by the dis- covery ofa fire at 19 Broad street, It originated in the rear ef the building in @ coal and wood box belonging to Reld, Leo & Contents. The damage is very insignificant, amounting perhaps to $100. Another fire broke out shortly afterwards in the room of the Mining Stock Board, 16 Bread street, which caused much excitement and litte damage. No one had been in the room after eleven A. M., and it is the opinion of the janitor that the fire had been smonidering from that time until it was discevered, The ceiling ef the office of Field & James, who occupy tie floor imme- diately ander the Mining Board was torn down, and they sustained damage to the amount of about $200, The building is the property of the Stoek Exchange and is fuily insared.

Litrie Roox, Ark., Fob, 19, 1873, On the Litto Rock and Fort Smith road this morning, at half-past five o'clock, a terrible acct- dent occurred, mortally wounding one person and more or leas sertously about twenty people. The Little Rook train had just loft Piumer's sta. tion.

Howard refused to pay the trifling sum, either because he had it not or it may have been through insolence, because he was taunted with owing so trifling a sum. Upon refusal, Jones stepped nearer to his alleged debtor, and, it is said, endeavored to strike him. Howard im- peining, as he testifies, that Jones, who was behind him, was drawing a knife to stab him, immediately struck at him in the face—whether with his fists or with weapons is not yet known—but succeeded in vactaning: his jaw in two {emg and wounding him in other parts of the head, Howard coming ol t nfict upinjured, aS “detente Valeting masa Who ‘was previously notified when it Was thought Henry Jones was in a dying condition, summoned a jury on Tuesday last to hold an ante-mortem examination and re- ceive the statements of the wounded mam. Th ante-mortem statement was brief, because, al- though the sick man was conscious, he was yet almost incapable of giving utterance to an intelll- gible whis, The substance of the statement as Dow in sion of the Coroner is that he was certain he would die very soon and from the effect of the wounds which he received at the hands of William Howard. Yesterday District Attorney Downing. of Flush- 4 notified by the Coroner to lend hus assist- ance in making turther investigations into the case. The Coroner and @ jury of nine men, assisted by Mr. W. J. Youngs, District Attorney Downing’s clerk, met forthwith, according to no- tification, in the Oyster Bay Hotel yesterday. The reom where the investigation, or examination, or inquest (as the Corener would have), was held ‘Was 80 small as to be well crowded by the few but | Decessary number of persons present. Mr. Youngs, with Coroner Bayles, spreared, of course, for the public, and Geerge Mott as counsel for the prisoner. The doctor who is attending the dying Man was also present and endeavored to look as agreeable 2s possibie. After the roll of jurymen was called by the Coro- ner the prisoner's counsel objected to the investi- gation being held in the form of an inquest, and repudiated the idea that the Coroner had any right to do so until the man Jones was dead. The Core- ner quoted his authority for holding the inquest in order to get ante-mortem statements, he Dis- trict Attorney’s representative was censulted and urnment, to which all, after about an half hour's discussion, acquiesced. The dec- tor’s evidence was to the effect that Henry Jones could not have lived during last night. Villenn Howard (prisoner), on being questioned, said he Struck the man in seif-defence. The same jury will be convened by the Coroner and the case more sroroaenly investigated on the 22d instant. The prisoner Howard still remains in custody, re- tuanded to await the result of Jones’ injuries. BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Board of Education held @ stated meet- ing yesterday afternoon in the Hall, corner of Grand and Elm streets, There were ten Commis- | sioners present.

It is supposed that he was carried off by disease of the heart. Mr, Fenno was fifty-eight years of age.

The debate in the Mouse to-day on the printing Of the Congressional Glove was not very extended, though of considerable interest, The democratic friends of the present printers made a fight in their favor, but the only argument to accomplish their object was the cry of partisanship. General Beatty, the obairman of the Committee on Print- ing, reported the bil, He made an elaborate apecch in favor of giving the contract to the lowest bidder, Ho denied any political motive in his action, and said it was very unfortunate for demo- orats to make such an issue in favor of a large and uncalled for expenditure, During his remarks he referred to the great improvements tn the art of printing since the Globe became a Congressional orgaa. Ho cited tn proof the New Yorn HeRavp of Iast Saturday, with twice as muoh reading matter as in the Congres- stonal Globe. “Its editorials,” said be, “cover an entire pago; its correspondence ts from every section of the civilized world; it ts typo- graphically as perfect as the Globe; and yet this matter {a put in type, corrected, stereotyped and tasued datly with all the precision and promptitude with which the hands move forward to the dial of the clock. This very true and graphic description of the great advance in newspaper enterprise con- vinoed many that it was about time the barnacios of the Globe printing oMoe were allowed to retire to enjoy the amplo fortune which they have accu- mutated, The President Spurring Up Dilatory Congressmen. The President has a plain straight-forward way of going to the Unpitol, taking possession of the room set apart for him there, and sending jor such Congressmen as need spurring up.

Blaine, Banks and Garfield, of tho House, with Messrs, Cameron, and Freling- huysen, of the Senate, and he plainly told them that if we expect Great Britain to pay the Geneva award in September, we must pay for the fisheries and the claim awarded her by the same treaty.

There are already several democrats ready to move his impeachment. Ben Butler to Assailthe Poland Report— All the Guilty M. C.’s or None To Be Punished. General Butler has said that he is going to fight the Poland report, as illegally unjust and evading the true facts, He remarked this evening:—“It Ames js guilty all are guilty; if Amesis not guilty allthe rest are not gullty, because there must be two parties toa bribe in order to make the trans- | action complete, The committee says it recom. Mends the expulsion of Ames for his attempt | at bribery. There was no attempt about it, for Oakes Ames carried out his ob- | sy MALS Weng oe the ject. Then, again, the report assumes that one m@mber was ignorant of the Crédit Mobilier transaction of the other.’ ‘This,’ says Butler, “ie an unwarranted assumption, for the committee did not ask @ single question on that head, Fur- thermore,”? queries he, “why did not the com- mittee make Durant account for the Crédit Mo- biller stock given him for the same specific pur- pose as that given to Amces—namely, distribution among Congressmen’ Durant gave part of the | stock to Brooks and Boyer, but what did he do with the remaining 180s shares 1"* The General also thinks that the House has ne Jurisdiction over the acts committed by members ofa former Congress. He says the report is not fit for gods or men and, in his epimion, will not be adopted, He added, “If Ames and Brooks are | expelled somebody else will be expelled.” As fer certainty about the action of the House en , Poland’s report, the prediction of “Old Probabili- { tes’? would be quite as reliable. At least seventy | members have been taiked to, who representevery shade of poiltical sentiment, and yet there is not the slightest agreement in the opinion of any two | members, “Brooks and Ames ought to be ex- pelled,” says @ friend of Poland, “What for}? | asks @ friend of the condemned. “Because the committee recommends it.” “But the com- mittee was appointed to acquit, and not/con- demn.” And that is the explanation which bdthers | democrats as well as republicans, Why Ames | should ve Congressionally ostracised because he | wanted to “place stock where it would do the most good,"’ when every man that received it has | confessed that be needed the money (and only | and Colored School, reported a resojution, appropri- | Pom. | at landlords and boarding house keepers in Washing- | ten can tell how much they would have suffered if Ames had not been their indirect friend)—why, | they repeat, Ames should be made a victim, is something that Poland's committee could mot find out. The repert is a byword and & reproach to those who made it. “All that 1s wanted,” said a leading democratic mem- ber of the House to-night, ‘is for the same scene to be re-enacted that characterized the announce- ment of the committee. It came with @ flourish of comedy ;1t will end with the importance of a farce,” The Witnesses Against Subsidy Pom. All of the witnesses as yet produced against Senator Pomerey have shown ao delightful inno- cency In divulging their past designs upon Subsidy 1 One of the most amusing of witnesses | before the investigating committee to-day was | O'Driscoll, of the Lower House of the Kansas Legis- lature. He is a piain farmer, uneducated, uncouth in his speech and manner and ronghly dressed; { yet he war the most prepossessing of the witnesses | yet presented, To the question, was he ever approached by Pomeroy men to buy his vote’ he replied, “Well, I reckon I bave been ’bout four times."?

His pre- liminary examination took place in the City Court to-day, but, as intimated in the H&RALD despatches of yesterday, his family refused to testify to the crimes first alleged, and there was no other alternative but to allow him to go free. Early in the morning there were premonitory symptems of something unusual Going on in the quaint and charming old town, and by Court hour excitement was at fever he: The acene outside the temple of justice was ani- mated one, the interest and expressed indignation being twofold what it was yesterday.

Judge Topham was on the bench. City So- lcitor Peckham appeared for the prosecution and William P. Shemield for the defendant, The case was opened by Mr. Peckham, who, after the usual proceeding of reading the warrant for arrest, called as the first witness Mrs. Lydia Essex, wife of the defendant. The witness, who testified 'to hav- ing been married to the defendant twenty-seven years and being forty-two years of age, presented & careworn look, and in manner indicated a dread of what was in prospect for her. Except an un- natural paleness of countenance there was nothing of note in her appearanc: She hesitatingiy testified to having sent tor Mr. Pray, the complain- ant in the case, te call on her, which he did, and | that she in return called on complainant and wife the day the warrant was issued and arrest made, and still further, that City Marshal Simmons was atthe house in the evening. She denied all that had been charged in the warrant, and also denied having apy conversation with nn regardin the matters therein alleged. Various attempts a refreshing her memory were met with flat denials of all queries of a criminating character. Allusions to the night of the arrest were met with the state- ment that she ‘twas perfectly wild” and ceuld remember nothing. CLARA TAKES THE STAND.
