Curiosity was strongly attracted to
Drury Lane Theatre on Saturday night
when MIR. Booth made his first ap.
pearance since his return from Ameri-
ca, in the character of BrItus. Ifthe
question of success depended merely
on the sufi'rages Of a single audience:
nothing could be more successful, or
indeed triumphant, than the effort to
which we allude; for not only was the
applause frequent during the progress
of the play, but OH the falling OF the
curtain an attempt was made to bring
Mr.. Booth forward in order to an
nounce the next performance himself.
MIR. Booth, however, declined the no.
nor, and Mr. Wallack having inform
ed the audience of that fact, silence was
restored. and the afterpiece allowed to
proceed without farther interruption.

CAPTAIN pARTRrpGE,s CADETS.

Hartford, Conn. Nou. 22.-On Tues
day last about 200 members of the Mi
litary and Scientific Academy in Mid
dletown, under the superintendence OF
Capt. Partridge, all in complete uniform,
marched to this place on a visit, and
arrived here in the afternoon Of that
day. They were, by parcels, invited to
the houses of many Of our inhabitants,
and provided for during their continu-
aice here. Owing TO the rain on We'd
nesday forenoon, little was done by
them until the afternoon, when they
marched to Washington College, when,
in the front yard of that institution,
they performed many military evolu
tons and 6rings, all ofwhich would do
honor to any military corps. On Thurs
day morning, being paraded near the
State House, they received the faculty
and students at Washington College,
when all Address was delivered to them
in behalf Of the Students Of that Semi
nary, to which reply was made on
behalf of the Cadets.
The roads had become so bad for
marching, by reason of the rains, that
Capt. p. was induced to accept the po-
lite invitation Of the Connecticut River
Steamboat Company 10 embark his
young troops on board the Steamboat
Oliver Ellsworth for conveyance back
TO Middletown.
We cannot speak in too high praise
Of the conduct Of these young gentle
men while here, nor of the military
tactics and discipline by them display
ed Many of them are under IS years
Of age, and large proportion Of their
number has been but few months at
tached to the Academy; yet their per-
tormances were invariably correct, and
excited universal applause. Their
healthiul appearance and gentlemanly
department, as well as their strict mi
litary discipline, evince that Captain
Partridge is not unmindful Of the re-
sponsible charge committed to his care.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

The proceedings Of this body are
given in the Savannah Georgian, to the
l4th inst inclusive. On the Friday
preceding, the election Of Judges and
Solicitors, by joint ballot, took place.
On this occasion, il appears that a
complete trial Of the strength Of the
two parties took place The Editor of
the Georgian-himself member OF
the Legislature-states, in an editori-
al letter, that "every member, OF both
houses, was at his post, and the bal
loting continued without intermission
from 10 O'Clock in the morning until
dark" The result was uniformly in
favor Of the candidates supported by
thu party in opposition to the Govern
or. On the following day, an ineffec,
tual effort was made by general Har'
den to reconsider the elections,
A bill is about TO be reported for the
division of the State into Congressiona
districts, and it is expected it will pass

movements ofthe squadron up to that
dale vt that time. there was some
cause for alarm, on account Of the pre-
valence Of a bowel complaint, with
which MANY Of the officers and men Of
the ship were afflicted; but the early
and iudicious applications, and Dnin-
permitting attentions OF the medical
officers, the virulence Of the disease
was soon arrested. In addition to this
there have been some cases of fev er on
board each ship, by which the service
has lost a valuable young officer in
Midshipman Pleasonton, who was, at
the time of his death, attached to the
Erie, and Mr.. Adam Marshall, the
schoolmaster of this ship, whose
exemplary department had gained him
the esteem of all who knew him. The
officers and crews of the several YES
sells of the squadron are again, very
generally, in the enjoyment of good
health; and the returns herewith sent

might have been cause for alarm at one
tine, the proportion of deaths for the

The following article from the Democratic
Press of Saturday, gives the melancholy de-
tails of the Death of the gallant and beloved
McDoSouGH:
ANOTHER HERO is NO MORE!!
Sometime since, in consequence Of
declining health, Commodore M'DO-
NOUGH made application to the Go
vernmcnt Of the United States TO be
permitted to resign the command OF
the F"igate Constitution and return to
the United States-he also prayed that
his physician, DR.. Turk, might be per-
mitted to accompany him. Leave was
prompt, given On the oath OF Oct
Commodore M'Donough, and his son,
DR.. Turk, Chaplain Greir, Midshlp-
man Ringgold and several y Sta,es'
sailors embarked at Gibraltar on board
the brig Edgar, bound to Ncw-Iork.
They had fine weather for about l6
days, since which it has been very hois-
ferrous. The brig was blown off New
York on TuesdAs last, and put into the
capes of Delaware.
We have just had visit from DR.
Turk, who informs us that on the 10th
of November, COMMODORE M'DO-
NOUGH, DIED, of Pulmonary Con-
sumption His body is on board the
Edgar and will probably arrive in this
city this day. We hope and trust, all
honour due 10 the illustrious dead, will
be shewn 10 the corpse of the gallant
and renowned M'Donough! His wife
died few months since, and was buri-
ed a, Middletown, Conn. They have
left children, four sons and dauSh-
ter. Where the commodore Will he
buried is not yet known Dr.. Turk nro-
badly, tomorrow, will accompany the
BODY to n. York, where he expects to
be met by some of the relatives of t'.e
illustrious dead. There are about
twenty sick seamen, from the squad OH,

be put into our Navy Hospital. The

There is a charity school established
on Southland Mountain II miles n. w
Of Princeton, New Jersey, and taught
entirely by twelve young ladies. Two
of them attended the first week, and
one continued fortnight; they have
SINCE been relieved every fortnight, one
each week, SO that no two have remain
ed together in the school more than
one week, except in Cases Of sickness,
&c. The number Of scholars exceeds
forty, who are thus kept from vice and
trained to virtue, by the benevolent ex-
erlions of these young ladies. The
school is represented as in flourish
ing condition, and promising much
good to the beneGciaries, and to the
neighborhood. This is another among
the already innumerable instances, in
which she that was "first in the trans
erosion" is also first in her endeayors
to arrest the wanderers, and bring them
back to the fold whence they have
strayed. II is a noble example, and
worthy of imitation

they permitted him TO proceed. Capt.

pirate intended 10 take the ship that
night; but having a good breeze and
setting all his light sails he was enabled
to escape. Would il not be well for
some of the numerous armed vessels in
that quarter, TO take an occasional
cruise, instead Of remaining inactive

A writer in the American, proposes as an
expeciient for relieving the distressed condi-
ton Gf the New-Yurk merchants, that the
Banks should issue quantity of large bills,
PAYABLE at a future day, and bearing an In
terest of FIVE per cent. These are to be
loaned to the merchants at per cent upon
the collateral security of assigned merchan-
disc. The plan is highly recommended, and
bears on the face of it, appearance of prac-
teal benefit.
Snowden's Advocate gives the following
gloomy picture of the commercial affairs OF
the great emporium of the western world -
We hope that the colors are too strong;
eve have heard il remarked by many intel
"hgeEt merchants, that the distress of the
mercantile classes of this city has exceeded
"for the last four months any period since the
"har1 times of 1916 AMI 1917. Since the be-
~ginning of August no fewer than tffy mer-
"cant.le failures have taken place in New
"York, and about thirty in the Southern CT
"ties connected with them, making in the
"short space Of three months not far short of
Ca hundred. If the banks do not extend a
"hbersl hand, it is feared that more failures
"will be the consequence"
The American denies that Baltimore Is
among the "Southern cities" alluded to and
adds, that prudetce and moderation have so
far characterized the commercial operations
ofthat place as to bring about healthful state.
1t may be proper to say that Alexandria is
also exempt from any participation in the

A very few years ago the site on which
it stands was wilderness. We
have recently given various statements
of its population, and its increase in

The NEWCOMERS have become so infatuat-
