ton, as Sir yMatfhey Scroggs, played admir-
ably. Sir .MaffheU 10 ono Of that rather
numerous class Of persons, who, after mar
rage Of 20 years, become tired Of the music
with which ladies serenade their lords. Dow
tons personation of the half humorous, half
grabbed husband, was excellent. He intro
duced, however, too many q" dammies." We
leave il to the pious licenser 10 look at this
point. The Lady Seraggs Of Mrs. Dawson
was highly diverting picture of would-be nm
portance. We cannot sufficiently praise Miss
Kelly's performance Of the character Of Sally
Scraggs. Every scene in which she, and Mr..
Harley as Tom Tape her inamorato, appear
ed, was in itself little comedy. Their re-
spective touches at tragedy and comedy were
ludicorous in the extreme. Mr.. Cooper and
Mr.. Wallaek supported the serious parts Of
Os,cald and .Mirsa with ability. The former
was very happy in his description Of the cir
cumstances attending the preservation Of
Guiaare on the night when she was left tho
sole survivor of her family. The serious dia-
logue Of the opera, though sometimes a little
inflated, is well written and the comic por-
ton of il may lay claim TO smartness, if not to
novelty. The songs abundantly prove that
the author is not a poet. The ideas contain
ed in them are all hackneyed, and they are
not expressed in the most musical language.
Their age entitled them to better venlcie.
The author has magazine well replenished
with smiles and sighs,' and " all that sort
Of thing;" but in our day there is only ono man
who can turn these matters to any sort of po-
etical account. In one of the songs these
lines occur
Come away, futtering fear in thy breast,
"Ill hush on my own, its ,ohite tremous to rest
The nature of this " dulcet disease" the
" "whito tremours," ought to be explained. In
another song, with singular infelcity of ear,
the author makes the word " dawn" rhyme TO
"corn." The music, as we have before in
sinuated, is with few exceptions, of medic
ere character, neither calculated to elevate
nor to sooth the mind but well imagined
fable, in which the serious is agreeably con-
trasted with the lively, and the united exer-
tions Of the chief performers on this establish
ment, carried the piece triunphantly through.

The conduct Of Mr. Pinckey, on this occas-
ion, blighted his fame, and held him up to the
world as one, who was capable, Of that ingrat-
itudc which all must look upon with feelings
Of abhorrance. Nor could the lustre OF h.s
talents, or the consideration Of the greai seq
vices he rendered his country, wipe it froI. :"
escutchcon Indebted as he was TO JnoG'
Chacc for all the benefits and honors he had
received at the hands of his country. if he had
possessed those refined feelings which all
ought TO possess, and had not been willing to
sacrifice friend at the shrine Of his ambition,
or if he had possessed that spirit Of indepen-,
dencc and noble daring which all ought 10
possess, no would have lost sight of sordid
personal considerations unworthy ofan hon
Durable mind, and undertaken to defend his
benofa ctor. But he looked to himself first,
then to Judge Chace, and finding that by de-
serting him in the hour of peril, he could fur
ther his own objects and popularity, he besita-
ted not which way to decide, and left the
prosecuted Judge to struggle against the
ma achinations, and the barbed shafts Of his
enemies.

America, and, until the blight Of party disssnr
tions fell upon their attachment, the asoem
and grateful friend ef Mr.. Chase"
II is to be lamsnted that Mr.. Pinckuey did
not pay the debt of gratitude he owed to his
benefac actor, and that he should have been guilty
of an act Of ingrstitude which redounds not to
the credit of his posthumous fame. In the year
1895, after the ratification of Mr.. Jays treaty.
he was appointed by President Washington.
commissioner. in accordance with the provis-
ions of the treaty, to reside in London, to which
place he immediately repaired and aftsr an
absence of eight years, returned to his native
country. During his absence, Judge Chase
had became unpopular with . certain party;
and, determined on bis ruin, they impesched
him. Mr.. Pinckney returned home about this
period, and Judge Chase selscted him as one Of
his counsel, and notified him of his selection.
1t is NOT known that Mr.. Pinckney positively
declined serving his patron at the onset, but ~
he was exceedingly cool, and appeared 70 DO
disinclined to comply with the wishes Of Judge
Chase, the Judge, Iritatcd to find that the We
ry man. who had been reared TO eminerce and
drawn from obscurity by his individual kindness
and friendship voluntarily bestowed. was dis
posed to abandon him, In the hour Of his calam-
tiles, broke off all correspondence with him,
and till the day Of his death never forgot or
forgave the ingrattude of his protege. The
causes which led Mr.. Pinckncy to desert his
friend and benefactor, in the hour Of peril, were
too apparent to all, and by all who reflected on
the subject he was condemned and looked up
on as q man capable of the most outrageous
ingratitude and duplicity.
Mr.. Pinckney was at this time at the me-
ridian Of his glory; he had already received
the honours of his country; he aspired 10 still
higher posts fpreferment ;--hc had beenspok
en- of as suitable person to fill the place OF
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to the Court Of London, and as Judge
Chase had rendered himself particularly ofen-
sivc to Mr.. Jefferson and his party, Mr.. Pinck-
ney, depending on the good graces of the then
administration and, its friends for prcfermcnt,
was fearful, if he attcmptcdto defend the Judge,
he should incur their displeasure;-and hence
to secure his own popularity, and to obtain an
Office, he abandoned his early patron, and left
him, like Cardinal Woolsey,

MELANCHOLY.

In the course of the past week, three young
men have died, in consequence of drinking beer
and cider drawn through the lead pipes and
brass pumps, in common use ia our iaverns.-
The oxide oflead and the verdigris extracted by
the action Of these supposed conveniences, form
in their solution in these liquors most baleful
poison. Of the truth Of this statement there
can be no doubt; as we are informed, that the
Rev. Dr.. McAuley, of Rutgers-street Church,
attended the unfortunate sufferers in their last
moments, and can certify 10 the cause of their
illness. We hope tina. the keepers of public
bars will discontinue the use Of these genera
tors of poison. The beverages in question are
much more harmless than the ardent spirits too
generally demanded in preference to them; but
il thus adultera,ed, are even more pernicious
10 their effects. ~. I. Com. .ddcs
