againsl ts him, and even a talk of impeachment when
Congress meets. Impeachment for what ? may be
asked. For restoring tranquillity and order,
for elevating civil above military law, for
resuscitating trade and commerce, and in-
spiring men with some hope and confidence in the
American. future. The real ground of offence is
that President JOHNSON resists the desire of the
New Englar-id party to parcel out the vast territories
of the South among the " loyal " Northerners and
freed blacks. They cannot accuse him of abandon-
ing the Union nor of upholding slavery, for aboli-
tion has been made a sine qua non of reconstruction.
As for the negro suffrage, that is a matter which
all prudent men feel had better be left to time.
America has had enough, in all conscience, of sudden
and violent changes ; she now wants peace internally
and externally to allow the troubled elements which
have been stirred up during the long period of un-
paralleled commotion to subside into quietude and
ordet. It will be necessary to teach the negroes
how to use their freedom and their new-found inde-
pendence before they can be instructed in political
knowledge ; and unless they are excited by fana-
tics, who stir them up by inflammatory language,
it is not likely that any considerable portion of the
liberated slaves care much about the possession of
the suffrage. If it iswished to establish freed negroes
permanently in the South, it would be surely wiser
to allow the whites and blacks to grow accustomed
to living on equal terms, and to learn mutual re-
spect and forbearance before they are forced into a
sudden and at present unsuitable political equality.
The negro question is likely, thanks to the mistaken
conduct of some fanatical politicians, to be Ame-
rica's difficulty for some time to come, and there
are even rumours of a very wide-spread disaffection
among the negroes, and some threatening symp-
toms of insubordination and armed combination
among them. Any such outbreak would, no
doubt, be promptly checked, but it would be
in every sense most deplorable. It would
incense the whites against the blacks,
it would put the most formidable obstacles in the
way of the negro, and would probably, by its scenes
of violence and bloodshed, renew the old conflict
between the North and South in feeling and in ar-
gument, if not in action. All must hope and pray
that such a catastrophe may be averted, and, no
doubt, the authorities will take care to be well-in-
formed of the proceedings of the negroes in the
several Southern States. If those politicians who
call themselves the particular friends of the negro
would really forward his interests, they will strive
to calm his excitability, they will teach him reason
and prudence, and while helping him to prove he is
worthy of political privileges, they will take the
most humane as well as the most constitutional
means of enabling him to obtain them.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

PESTII, OCT. 10 (Evening).

The Pesti Naplo of to-day, in an article upon the
rumoured dissolution of the Committee of Control
for the Management of the Public Debt, elected by
the Reichsrath, states that this measure is not in-
sisted upon by Hungary, since she is in no way in-
terested in the committee. The Pesti Naplo admits
that since the Imperial manifesto of Sept. 20 it be-
comes a legal impossibility for the committee to
continue its functions ; but for Hungary it is en-
tirely indifferent whether it continues to exist or
not. A constitutional control over the finances can
only be obtained by a real national representation
of the Empire, and not by any fiction of such re-
presentation.

Great agitation prevails to-day in Pesth, on ac-
count of the meeting of the Committee of the
Comitat of Pesth, in which the electoral question
is being discussed.

ROME.
THE RECENT PAPAL ALLOCUTION.
ROME, OCT. 10.

The official Giornale di Roma announces that it
is authorised to declare that the Pope, in his last
Allocution, spoke as at times from the promptings
of his own conscience, with full independence.
" His expressions," continues the Giornale di Roma,
" were not strengthened or modified by any in-
fluence. None would have presumed to interpose
a veto which would not have been regarded. This
declaration applies to the journals which have
wounded the honour of the Holy See, and the
honour of the Chief of the French nation, by
asserting that the French Government had pro-
hibited the publication of some expressions in the
allocution relative to the funeral of Marshal
Magnan.

FRANCE.
BIARRITZ, OCT. 11.

The King and Queen of Portugal left Biarritz at
one o'clock yesterday afternoon for Bordeaux, being
accompanied to the railway station by the Emperor
and Empress.

" Many sea monsters," says the Constitutionnel,
"have lately been seen on the entrance of the Chan-
nel, their presence accounting for the almost total
disappearance of pilchards and mackerel from the
coast. On Saturday, in the neighbourhood of Oues-
sant (Finisterre) there were seen five sharks ; also
several whales, dolphins, and porpoises. One of
the sharks was caught by a line thrown from the
Eurydice, but the monster broke away and escaped."

Shipwrecks—Lifeboat Services.

CAISTER, near YARMOUTH, Tuesday Night.
The old lifeboat (writes the Rev. G. W. Steward)
is finishing her course of good service gloriously, and
in a manner worthy of herself and of the men who
have manned her so often under circumstances of
varied risk and peril. Last night about seven
o'clock two gunswere fired, and rockets were thrown
up from the Cockle Floating-Light, a little to the
northward of Caister. The night was dark and
rainy, and a strong wind was blowing from about
E.S.E. with Atcgood deal of sea on the beach. The
beildunen launched the Caister lifeboat of the Na-
tional Institution without a moment's loss of time
and on their way to the Cockle Light, about half a
mile to the N.W. of it, they fell in with a brig of
about 100 tons at anchor close by the breakers
of the Cockle Sand. Approaching her as near as
they could, and ascertaining that she wanted
assistance, they bore a way, let go their anchor, and
wore to the ship, which they found had run foul of
the floating light. The ship had carried away a
part of her bulwarks and her port main rigging, and
three of her crew had jumped on board the light.
The beachmen, having got to the vessel with much
difficulty, put six of the lifeboat's crew aboard the
ship, slipped her anchor, and took her over the
north end of the Cockle Sand, following her with
the lifeboat through a heavy sea, which at times
nearly threw the ship on hor beam-ends. Having
brought her up in Hemsby Hole, they anchored and
waited till daylight, when they went off with the
life-boat to the Cockle Light and brought the three
men who they learnt had jumped on to the light
vessels. Caister, one of them, was afterwards
taken to Yarmouth Hospital, his foot being badly
crushed. The ship was taken in to the roads, and,
I believe, into Yarmouth harbour, by a steam-tug.
The name of the brig is the Kathleen of Hartlepool
from Fecamp in France, with coals.
TYNEMOUTII, NORTHUMBERLAND,
Tuesday Night.

Another sad catastrophe has occurred at the
mouth of the Tyne (says P. J. Messent, Esq., C.E.).
An old brig, the Medora, of South Shields, laden
with coals, on entering during a very heavy gale
from E.S.E., and high sea, had her stern bulwarks
and stearing gear, and probably part of the lower
stern knocked away just before reaching the bar.
She then became unmanageable. and after a few
minutes sunk without apparently striking the
ground at all, taking with her all hands, I fear,
about seven men. The Tynemouth (the Con-
stance) lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution was promptly launched as soon as the
danger of the vessel was observed, but it was
found impossible to take her across the Channel
on account of the strong northerly set of the ebb

tide. The three Shields lifeboats were also out,
but could not go through the tremendous seas,
although they had the tide in their favour, while it
threatened to take the Constance out to sea beyond
the wreck. The Constance encountered some very
violent seas, but would have been able to reach the
vessel in time had it been flood instead of ebb tide.
Tho wreck occurred at 10 a.m. The sea is still
very heavy, and I fear further disasters, although
a great many vessels had entered safely.

Lifeboat at Portsmouth.

--

Yesterday the lifeboat which was recently sent to
Hayling Island was brought round to Portsmouth.
Preceded by the band of the sth Hants Rifles, the
lifeboat was taken through the principal streets, the
mayor and other influential persons taking part in
the proceedings. The boat was subsequently taken
to Southsea, and was there launched off the beach
in the presence of a large number of persons. The
boat was about a fortnight ago sent to Hayling
Island, when the Bishop of Chichester named it
the " Olive Leaf," the boat being the gift of
Messrs. Leaf, Sons, and Co., to the National Life-
boat Institution. The bishop was afterwards pre-
sento by the institution with a fine photograph of
a lifeboat like the " Olive Leaf" going off to a
wreck. In acknowledging its receipt he sent the
following characteristic acknowledgment of the

(From the Boston Post of Sept. 26.)
"Ago cannot wither them, nor custom stale
Their infinite variety."
Last night began a new era in theatricals in our
city, being the first appearance, after an interim of
nearly 19 years, of Charles Kean and. his wife (nee
Ellen Tree), before a Boston audience. Mr. Kean

made his original appearance before our citizens as
the " Duke of Gloster," at the Tremont Theatre,
on the 22d of November, 1830. Miss Tree first

appeared at the same establishment on the 20th of
February, 1837, her opening- performance being
Julia in " The Hunchback." Mr. Kean again ap-

peared at the Tremont, in November and Decem-
ber, 1839 ; and in November, 1815, at the Howard
Athenaeum. On October 19th, 1846, Mr. and
Mrs. Kean commenced their last engagement in this

city, at the old Federal-street Theatre. Their per-
formances were of the highest order of merit, and
consisted mainly of the " Gamester," " Ion," and
the " Stranger." We well remember, that in com-
mon with nearly the entiro audience—the female
portion of it more especially,—" Tears trickled

down our cheek" at the masterly interpretation of
the sorrows of the " Stranger" and in sympathy
with the no less finely portrayed characterization of
that heart-broken and repentant Magdalen, "Mrs.

Haller." And now these consummate workers in

the mimetic art are with us once again, to de-
light and instruct all true lovers of the drama by the
fidelity with which they interpret the works of the
great master of tragedy and comedy. Mr. and Mrs.
Kean bring to their support the services of Miss E.
Chapman and Messrs. J. F. Cathcart and George

Everett, thus enabling them to present their pieces
with a strength of cast and a completeness of detail
hitherto unapproached in this city.
_ _

The immense and enthusiastic audience which
crowded the theatre last night was indeed pheno-

minal. It was composed (to borrow a line from the
original prologue to " Henry VIII.") of
" The first and happiest hearers of the town."
Literature, art, and tho sciences were reprogonted
wealth, beauty, and fashion lent their presence to
the scene ; the student and the octogenarian play-
goers (who emerges from his retirement only on rare
occasions such as the present) were there ; and each

and all were lavish in their contribution to the

general welcome accorded to the stars of the even-
ing. We question if a more brilliant or discrimi-
nating audience has ever been seen in Boston.
The pieces selected for the initial performance
were Shakspere's play of " Henry VIII.," termi-
nating with the fall of Wolsey ; and the elder Col-
man's comedy of " The Jealous Wife," reduced to
two acts. " Henry VIII." is perhaps the most
perfect of the entire series of Shakspere's his-
torical plays. With but one exception—that of
making the birth of Elizabeth occur subsequent to
the death of Catherine—it is entirely correct in

its chronological events. The first three acts of the
play only were given last night, very judiciously as
we think, as perhaps all the interest in the play
terminates with the downfall of the " Scarlet Line."
But to the performance. Mr. Kean gave us a
truly fine impersonation of the " great child of
honor, Cardinal Wolsey." The first scene, although
quite a short one, was the perfection of acting.
The entire part was invested with a grandeur of
character becoming to the " man of an unbounded
stomach." But it was in the third act that Mr.
Kean was indeed great. The entire act, culminat-
ing in the downfall of the Cardinal, was worked up
with the intensity of dramatic skill, and the speeches
to Cromwell after his fall from the good graces of
the King had become apparent, were given with a
tenderness and a pathos that touched all hearts.
The entire performance was indeed one of rare
excellence.
The Katherine of Mrs. Kean was an excellent
support. Her plea to the King in mitigation of the
grievances of the over- taxed Commons was finely
rendered. The character was invested with a dignity
and grace, and an understanding of the part, which
commended itself to all. In her own trial she was
highly affecting, giving a vivid representation of
distressed majesty.
Mr. J. F. Cathcart, a most excellent actor, as
Cromwell ; Mr. George Everett as the noble poet
Surry, and Miss Chapman as Anne Boleyn, were
all that could be desired.
The Henry Vlll.—the royal Bluebeard—of Mr.
,Frank. Mayo was capitally made up and correctly
costumed. The Buckingham of Mr. George Clair
was well conceived, and was one of the best perso-
nations of the evening. Mr. Wylie as Lord Sands
did remarkably well, and Mr. Collins as the Duke
of Suffolk was entitled to commendation.
The part of the Duke of Norfolk was entrusted to
Mr. Burns. We believe the Howard family, of
which the Duke is the head, is an English family—
and why its representative at the time of Bluff Hall
spoke with an Irish brogue is beyond our compre-
hension. The Duke, moreover, was the father of
the Earl of Surrey, but, according to the make-up
of Mr. Burns, he appeared some ten years younger
than his illustrious son. We should scarcely have
noticed this, were it not for the fact that young
actors of the present day think the " be-all and the
end-all" of their profession is merely to be ac-
quainted with the words of their parts. A course
of historical reading is, as a general thing, as bene-
ficial to actors as to members of other professions.
The piece was placed upon the stage in a most
excellent manner, and reflected great credit on Mr.
France. The trial of Queen Katharine was a faith-
ful reproduction of Hogarth's celebrated picture.
The evening's entertainment concluded with the
" Jealous Wife," in which Mrs. Kean recalled her
old triumphs. It was a magnificent performance
throughout. Mr. Kean's Mr. Oakley was excellent,
and the other members of the company acquitted
themselves to the satisfaction of all.
