| THE TIlEATRE.-On Monday evening
we had at our Theatre, the play OF Othello, in
which the celebrated Mr.. Forrest, made his first
appca rance before n Providence audience in
tho character OF the Jealous Moor. and We find
| il some what difficult TO describe the excellence
Of the performance. TIE pait was dressed in a
manner altogether novel to US, though in our
opinion very correctly aid throughout the
| whole Of the numerous scenes of The play, NJ.
| Forrest sustained himself in manner, which
has no equal. ia the scene where Iago works
up Othellos passions to n state Of absolute phren-
zy, tl.is ac,oI is nmitably fine, and he gave vent
10 burst Of feeling, the effect of which. we shall
not soon forget Ills manner is altogether origi.
nui, and although his acting sometimes hears
trin'ns resemblance to the acting Of kesn, il
j. alea"ly perceptible, that Nr. Forrest is not
the servile cop, it Of any man aud throu ,hout
The whole, he evinced tn, $; rare scintlatinos of
genius, which immortalized Garrick and Cooke,
and which have given so much celebrity to Ed
mund Kean. MIR. Forrest, unlike Mr.. Mac,ca-
ly, acts t,on Nature, Not hom the formal rules
of edIcatou, which so emneutly distinguish al,

1t is said oft'arrick that he possessed such nuecu-

and in all, we think this young actor is the most
promising OF any one this country has thus far
produced and should he live long enough. W.
doubt not, he will hold rank, equal 20 that lor-

and Ken,bles.

We sometime since stated that, from personal
we were authorized to declare that great
changes in the public mind in this state taking
pIace in favor of the administration of the general
government. Proof this fact has been day after
day laid before the public. In the county of Schuyl-
xiii, at the last Presidential election, not a single
uote uas given for Mr. ya'anas and it would have
been difficult matter to nave found five men who
would have brayed the existing prejudice yopenly
declaring themselves in favor of Mr. Adams. In
this same county an administration meeting was
called to meet on the Oath ut. 1t appears to have
been general gathering together of the talent and
standing of the county. The honourable Judges Yost
and Raash, and Joseph Morgan, Esqs.. all prom-
nent supporters of the administration Of this state
were called to preside over the meeting. John Ban

The address and resolutions adopted. do great
honor to the meeting The sentiments expressed
in opposition to the elevation OF Gen. Jackson, are
of that firm serious, but dispassonate cast, which
show that deusion has yielded to the light of reason
and evidence, and that the work Of conviction is
thorough and well grounded.

Gated upon children to shut the door after them
The lesson should be given to hired people a.

should not only be inculcated upon children and do
mestcs, but should be enforced, in such manner as
it may be best, even to chastisement of the former,
and when other means fail, to loss Of employment to
the latter. Possibly the method of Dean Swift might
be practised with advantage His hired girl, going
abroad enc day, left the door open and after pro-
ceedng couple of miles, was sent for by the Dean
to come back in great haste.-She obeyed the sum-
mons-and on returning, coolly ordered to shut
the door, She did So and forgot the lesson at
forwards. To conclnde, we say, 'Shut, shut the

ers, the following letter from Gen. GEO. MCCLURE,
to the Hon. RoBERT s. ROSE, on subject OF much
interest to the people Of the United States. We
regard the extract which it contains. of letter
from H. Clay, dated December 49, 1924 as trl-
umphant refutation OF the charges of corruption
preferred against him by Gen. Jackson, in relation
to the vote which he gave in the presidential eec

Hon. ROBERT s. RosE,
SIR: Your letter of the goth ult. was duly re-
ceved Your request that will transmit to you,
copy, extract of a certain letter which recev-
ed from Mr. Clay, in Dec 1924. on the subject of
the Presidential contest Nothing but regard for
the character Of Mr.. Clay induce me to comply with
your request, believing as do, that the charges
hbited against him by George Krener + Co. are
FALSE, and cannot be supported.
| After the electors of the President and Vice Pre-
slent were chosen in 1924, it was ascertained that
the election would come before the House of Repre-
sentatiyes and that Mr.. Clay would not be amongst
the number returned. Not knowing his sentiments
in relation to the candidates. addressed letter to
him. stating, that in all probability, the contest
would be confined to Mr.. Adams and Gen Jackson
and. in that case, wished to know which of them he
would prefer. Mr. Clay answered me promptly
BY letter, bearing date 28th Dec. 1874, of which
the following is ali extract.
81 have no hesitation IN saying. that nave lons
