AMERICAN THEATRICALS.

Mrs. BARTLEY concluded her enga4ement at the
New York Theatre on this 21st of December, in
the character of Julio, in Deaf and Dumb. Mr.
BARTLEY was the Abbe de L'Epee.
WALLACK conchultd his engarzement at
Boston, and was expected to return to New York.
The Charleston Southern Patriot, of the 2r•ith of
November, says :—" Last night terminated Mr.
PHILLIPP's successful engagement, with a benefit
of fourteen hundred and forty-one dollars. Such
an assemblage of fashion and beauty we have
never before witnessed in our Theatre. Upwards
of 300 persons were compelled to go away from
want of room."

The next most successful benefit has been that
of Mr. Coot,Ea, at Philadelphia, whose first ap-
pearance in Macbeth produced 1,123 dollars. He
ha 3 since played the Duke Aranza, Hamlet, Rich-
ard, Romeo, Lord Hastings, and Octavian. On
the night of Rident.d, in lieu of a farce, five Wyatt-
dot Indian Chiefs were introduced, in their war
and other dances and speeches, to the ediire dis-
satisfaction of the audience, who expressed their
disgust by continual groaning and hissing.

cannot believe that Miss C./Nat:A., whose cha-

talents are pithlicly admired; would have acted in
such a manner ; and we only give insertion to
the report in order to put a stop to private malice,
that it may be openly contradicted.

FOR THE SUN.

MSTORY bF OCIILOS TETE GREAT GIANT.
(('oncluded.)

The Giant felt himself very magnificent, while
he *as thot exerting his prodigitots and,
as his reflections were not
feelings remarkably fine, the great wa, I ~); human
life; prOduced by his protredings, g not
the ienst concerti. Like a •asue l' m, -,•:!!iels has
ranee tasted blond, be felt an ie-.;fabl!ap-
Petit for st 'tighter. Butt as lir was cannibal,
the Murders he committed (..intrittutet o 'thing to
:he relief of his natural burger ; And he had
murdered all his real friends, :Ind the ,-..fit:ater pia
of those who pretended to be so, and had distri-
buted their property among a nameless multitude,
sdme of whom had absconded with their shares,
and Others accumodated many shares only to feed
their own vanity and atarice, provision for his
Majesty's many mouths (for he now insisted upon
heist; called Majesty) began to be very scarce.
Trade was ruined, and commerce almost annihi-
lated ; and its this extrerhity they who now acted
for hint were obliged to exert all their ingenuity
to keep their master aliVe. In the midst of these
difficulties, one of their number luckily thought
of foreign plunder. The idea was eagerly adopted,
and all who hart arms strong enough to seize, and
conscience little enough to covet, possessions to
which .they had not the smallest right, were
quickly sent abroad in every direction, to collect
what boot), tbey could. In this way they those,
for some time, what is vulgarly called a roaring
trade. Their neighbours were frightened aHlosC
to death, and, homier this impression, hardly gave
their plunderers the trouble to seize any thing that
they chose to demand. OCHLOS waxed fat, pond,
and ambitious.

But a snare was now laid for him, which he did
not in the least suspect. He had appointed a fel-
low of much acuteness, and still more selfishness,
as General of all his forces, and collector of all
his plunder. But the wily General, fearing that,
on some sudden torn, another General, or another
sycophant, might supplant him too, and send him
the same journey which ail the former favourites
of Ocneos had gone, however much against their
thotsght of nothing so intensely as how to
make himself independent of the f.amidahle Giant
,his master. To this end he formed various con-
trivances to get himself' invested with Cite most ab-
solute military power. He then forced the best
and mos; active part of the community into his
army, which he made mote monerons than was
ever seen since the time of XARXES and having
then as niauy hands at his command us the Giant
had of his own, with the advantage of having
them all strongly armed and admirably disciplin-
ed, while the Giant knew no more of the ar: mi•
hurry than he did of any other; having once ac-
conTlished this, and gained himself a name as it
mighty conqueror, he very soon let OCHLOS know
that his General was now his toaster; and that as
HE had been called Majesty, his subduer would
he called IMPERIAL MAJESTY.
The Glaut OctsLOS. was so confounded at this
unexpected turn, that he lost all use of the little
understanding he hag; submitted in the most ab-
ject manner, without a struggle or an effort ;
and, after a little time, even became fond of the
crafty villain who had thus ensnared' and enslaved
hint : and as the foreign 'donde:- still went on,
his mouths were generally wall filled, and he be-
gan to think himself its happy as ever he had
been in his life. It is hardly to be believed how
tame a creature he now became, from the most
furious Giant that had ever desolated a country.
Ile would halloo anti sing with all his months, its
ptaise of the wonderful man who had done sac's
amazing things for hire ; nay, ho would even lick
feet with all his ten thousand tongues, if his
military master chose to exact such homage front
him. After a time indeed he foamd the yoke be-
yiu him sorely, but then it was too late to
resist. His good fortune at length overturned the
military Despot and all his power; and then
things quickly returned to their original position.
The Giant, once more .-.•ltateti.ifltO a tame Giant,
was persuaded to listen to got), arleisers, to be-
take himself to useful employments, and to exert,
his strength only in such tasks as were proper
and beneficial. But all the blood poured out,
first in his civil fury, and then in his plundering:
rage, was completely wasted; and experience
alone was gained at so inouense an expeuce of
misery.

it is a very remarkable fact in natural history,
that in every ennutry there is a Giant OCEiLOS,
exactly of the same kind that in many the crea•
ture has gone through exactly the same changes ;
and that in all he is just as liable to be drawn
into them, as if none of his brethren had ever
thus suffered for their folly. It is true he cannot
rend, and therefore knows nothing either of his-
tory or geogrphay; but when he has able ad-
visers who know both, and endeavour to give
hint complete warning, it can only be a strange
fatality of perverseness which prevents him front
listening to the truth, and thus exposes him in
every instance to the chance of the same blun•
ders, the same crimes, and the same miseries.
So ends the legend.---Yours,

SHOCKING PRoFLIGACY —At the late East Rid.
ing Sessions held at Beverly, in Vifikshire, nti
unusual number of atrocious criminals were
brought up for trial, and sentence of transporta-
tion passed upon the gteatest part of them.—
Amoogst them was the mother of Snowden Dun-
hill, whose gang was for many years the terror of
Ike East Hitting, and who owed the greatest pact
of their crimes to her instruction—her first hus-
band having been banged and the second trans.
potted. At the bar site presented something of
the grotesque and dreadful figure of IliegiVerrates,
end alter sentence was passed on tier by ;Ito
Chairman, she threw up her hands toward,
vett, and hoped " the Almighty would sink the
whole Bench to peidition I" In this prOfiigate
state she was taken hack to the gaol to undergo
her future punishment, should her advanced age
allay a voulinuance in life to undergo tits
