DREADFUL Loss OF LIVES. A Liverpool
paper of June 10, gives the particulars of the
dreadful accident at Kirkaldy in Scotland, on
the Sunday proceeding: The disastrous conse-
quences of which, it seems equal to those Of
tho falling IN Of he roof Of the Brunswick The

celebrated Mr.. Irving (who had been for some
weeks back in the active exercise of his min
istry through different parts of Scotland) was
announced TO preach al Kirkaldy, on the days
of Saturday and Sunday, which naturally at
| tracted numerous congregations. On the eve-
ming Of tho latter, the Chapel was crowded at
an early hour to hear his farewell sermon.
Service had not commenced when the fears Of
the congregation were excited by sudden
cracking of the beams which supported one
Of the galleries. Tho alarm Of danger was in

gave way, and precipitated with the whole of
its occupants into the body Of the Church.

life aw fully great. The rush to the doors was
tremendous, and in the struggle for life

rcoMMUNIcATIoN,

DRAMArIc.-On Monday eveRing, Mrs.
Durr made her first appearance those five
years, in the character Of Jane Shore, in Rowes
celebrated Tragedy Of that name. Her en-
trance was greeted with loud, long. and enthu-
siastc applause. mingled with those just and
generous tokens Of friendship. which evidently
aiIe cted the distinguished actress, and for a
moment forbade her uttering the language oil
tho dramatist.
It Is not our purpose ,-nor is it necessary,
to enter on n formal eritique Of Mrs. Duffs
delincaton of the character Of the misguided
Shore; sufficient is it to say, that il was de-
lincation which has never been surpassed by
! the Siddons, the Jordans, or the O'.NedlS.-
She impaired to the character all tbt,t it re-
quired the actress was lost in the heroine OF
tho drama, and whilst we pitied tho sufferings
of tho wretched Shore, we forgot the mimic
scone. and beheld the suferings Of real life.
It is not new thing to say, that Mrs Duff is
! the first and tho abest actress Of the age;
- the fact has as often been admitted as
repeated, and all who wish proof-proof unde-
niablo, ,are invited to visit the Theatre TO- morrow
night.
| Last evening Mrs. Duff performed the part
Of the unknown FEMALE, in Dimond's play
Of the Founding of the Forest. The house
was fashionably filled, and the same testimon
as Of respect that were extended to her or
Monday evening, were repeated by an admirini
audience.
The play Of Jane Shore is one that is full o
melancholy interest, and never fails to excite
tho deepest emotions among tho audience ant
it has rarely ever been better played than j
was on Monday evening. We went to th'
Theatre, prepared to see the character o
;, Alicia but lily sustained by Miss Hamilton, bu
were most agreeably disappointed. Thougl
the character is one that is not exactly in he
general line Of buseess, and requires great ef
forts and great physical power, she sustaine
it with unusual ability, and gave evidence OF
versatile genius. Mr.. Archer, decidedly one @
the most popular actors that ever visited ou
Theatre, personated Hastings to admiintior
and sustained his well earned reputation as a
actor of distinguished merit Mr.. Young a
! Dumont or Doctor Shore was more than rt
spectacle; Of the remainder Of tho actors, W
deem it unnecessary to speak. On Friday eve
ming Mrs. Duff takes her benefit, when we e,
, pect to see crowded house. composed of th
5 fashionable, and the patrons Of the lcgitima'
drama, and Of unrivalled talent and distinguish
4 cd worth.

"THE AMERICAN MINsTREL."-A pub
this town, which We think deserving an exten-
sive patronage. II appcars calculated to in
tersst every friend to music. A periodical up
on this subject. is very desirable, and the one
before-,he public is we'll designed to supply the
deficiency. so obvious TO all. From tho
rapid advancement Of musical science in this
country, we are induced to believe the proprie-
tor will share public favor, and that the "Amer-
lean Minstrel" will have an extensive circula-
ton, the opinion Of our cotemporary Of the
Journal to the contrary notwithstanding To
the ladies this paper will be found very useful
and convenient, as part Of it is devoted to
the publication Of now and popular music
which, we understand, would Of itsolf, cost
much moro than the cntiro paper, if otherwise
published Those who perform upon mnson
instruments of almost any kind, will find the
Minstrel useful the music being various!y
real lover Of music. Tho future numbers o
this publication, it is said, will be supplied with
the choicest foreign and American musical in
,clligence. together with the hest new musica
compositions, suited to different grades Of mu
| sicai talent. On the whole, we would recon
mend tho Minstrel to our friends, and wish th
publisher success in his exertions to promote
the laudable objects for which the Minstrel wa
commenced. Specimens Of the work can b,
seen at this office, where subscriptions will b.
received.

+" The first quarterly meeting. under the vote
of tho town, was holden at the Asylum on Sat-
urday last, by the Town Council, at which
meeting we're also present the building com
mittee and the commissioners Of the Dexter
Fund, and measures were adopted to put the
Asylum into complete operation. 1t was re-
solved by tho council that the day on which
permits would be granted to visit tho Asylum
should be Wednesday, that day Being the one
which would least Interfere with the internal
government Of the place. Should a stranger
wish to visit tho place on any other day, he
may be admitted in company with one OF

ChiH.-The American Envoy at Santiago
has complained to the Chilian gov vernment o
the present high transit duty Of q per cent.
and the exorbitant storage Of 2 rials per
package, monthly, as being a great grievance
to Citizens of the U. 8. The Inauguration Of
tho new Congress was to take place in Valpa-
raiso, on tho 10th Of April. The reasons for
the removal from Santiago are stated to be
for the prevention Of party spirit" and that
the Deputies belonging to Santiago may at
tend more to the public business than TO their
domestic concerns. The measure will certais-
ly benefit Valparaiso materially.

FROM ENGLAND.-The elegant line pat OK
ct ship Boston, Capt. Mackay, has arrived at
Boston, from Liverpool, with the papers Of
that place TO the Goth June.
On perusal, we find in the journals but little
Of interest that had not been anticipated. The
Boston met with head winds, which detained
her arrival beyond her expected time.
Among the petitions presented TO Parliament
on the l7th Juno, were II for the abolition of
slavery in the West Indies, and one or two
against tho Importation Of foreign wool.
In the returns Of the navigation of Great
Britain, as made to Parliament, there appears
in the year 1927, as compared with 1926, a
dmnution of 1880 vessels, Q75,l44 tons,)
and in the number of seamen reduction Of
1921.
From the seat Of war in Europe, we have
no authentic intelligence later than before re-
ceiyed: the German papers give some reports
Of skirmishes between the Russians and Turks,
for which it is believed they have no better au-
thority than for the "Russian Bulletin" which
they lave the credit of bringing out, and which
was sheer fabrication.
GREEcE.-The Austrian Observer ofth 9Th
June, states upon the authority OF Corfu pa
per, that the plague had broken out in the is
lands Of Hydra and Spezzia The disease is
supposed to have been introduced by the
Greeks delivered from captivity at Modon, and
brought to the islands. The most vigorous
quarantine regulations, and other measures,
have been taken 10 prevent the spreading OF
tho contagion. II is reported that the naval
force of the Allied Powers in the Lovant are
TO assemble under the command Of Sir E. Cod
rim gton, in order that measures NAV be taken
to forward the evacuation of the Morea.

Columbia. Tho report Of the dissolution Of
the Convention at Ocana, without doing any
thing, is confirmed; and il is added, that the
City Of Bogota had formally declared Bolivar
Supreme Chief Of Columbia. Carthagona had
come out with the same declaration, and it
was believed these examples would be follow
ed by the whole country. II is matter of re
gret that there is not yet sufficient intelligence
and virtue among tho people Of Columbia, to
sustain Republican form Of govern ment.

U-The Washington Telegraph asserts that
Col. Benton denied his own letter wherein
he describes Gen. Jackson's attempt to assassi-
pied it,and says that "this puts to rest the Ben
ton affair." 1t is however, ascertained that
Benton does not deny it +, but so far from maxi
ing any such assertion, is endeavorng to apol-
ogiss to the General. for exposing his base
conduct by writing this identical letter. In
fact this document had been before the public
several months before the Telegraph ventured
to say werd upon the subject, and II Benton
himself, had presumed at any time to intimate
a denial, there was sufficient evidence to es.
tablish the fact, which he and every one else
we'll know.
