We regret that 'he respectable com.
pany under the management of Mr.. Pow
ell and MIR Duff, cannot during The pres
ent season, giatify the patrons Of our
Iheaue--by a display oftheir diversified
talents. Nevertheless as Mr.. duff has
consented to offer an entertainment
Tor the morrow evening, consisting Of
readings, rt clations, and songs; We pre-
sumo that satisfaction not less solid and
rational, will be afforded to all those who
may have an opportunity Of Witnessing
his impressive manner, and correct delin-
cation OF sentiment and character. The
most splendid decorations of the Theatre,
and the most numerous company OF per-
formers, viii fail to interest us; unless
we discover nature, and feeling, and pas
sion rising above the glare of show. and
the refinement d, art. AS MIR. Duff has
hitherto sustained the reputation Of first
rate actor, and has attained celebrity in
the highest, aud most difficult walks of
the drama. NC are confident that he
would not nave offered US selection
from our best authors, unltss their beau
ties would be illustrated in his bess sfyie.
1t is single handed appeal to the taste
and liberaIity of those who have hitherto
rewarded his exer;ions with muni6-
cence, and We hope it will not be un-
successful.

The vessels are not tu remain SO long
there but are 10 make cruises from our
ports to and from the Mediterranean,
and in that sea, returning here periodic
ally aid by turns Tor supplies. This
will afford advantages in the improve
ment OF the skill and discipline of the
Navy, and will obviate the objections
which have been urged, not without
force, to long cruizes in Italian seas.
by this arrangement our vessels, during
their cruizes, to pass down the Coast OF
Africa to sur new Colony OF Free Per-
sons of Color, and to scour those and
