Park 7Heatre.--The debut of Mr. Matthews

Park '7Teatre.--The debut of Mr.. Matthews
last evening was, we are happy TO say, such d.
his warmest wishes could desire, and long be-
fore the commencement of the performance the
house was crowded in all parts, and hundreds
left the doors unable to obtain admittance. one
of the reasons, perhaps, for this overflow, was
the expectation generally entertained, that
some opposition W as to be made to his reappear-
ance on the American stage. Reports OF an
injurious nature had been industrously spread
through our city, and handblllS containing
charges calculated to influence the pubic nina
against him. were yesterday generally clrcuat.
ed. If MIR. Matthews ever entertained DOUBT
of the candour and generosity OF an American
audience, that doubt must have ocen al once
dispelled by the enthusiastic reception WIN
which he was greeted last evening. Previous 10
the performance he entered into circumStan-
tial and triumphant defence against the SANDER
Gus reports which had been propagated Dy hls
enemies with view to injure him IN pnDHc es-
timation. He declared them to be false In eve
ry particular, never having in single IN
stance done or said aught which could by the
remotes possibility be distorted into an expires
sion of disrespect against the United States or
its citizens, for whom he felt every sentiment OF
gratitude and appreciation; and concluded his
address by appealing with confidence to the
Justice and berality of Amer lcanst support MN
against the Vaccinations OF his unpfoVoked
sIanderers The audience received his state
ment with the warmest appreciation ana not q
dissenting voice was heard throughout the
house.
The performance commenced with The
Comic Annual" one of those unique and enter
tanning performances in which Mr.. Matthews is
really at home consisting of the most amusing
selection of anecdotes. songs, and portraits, re-
lated sung and sketched in his peculiar man
ner, and in which he has never yet found sue
cessful rival. If his deneaions have any fault,
it consists in the exceeding mnuteness with
which they are finished; hence, to mere anna
teurs like ourselves, they are apt to become lrk-
some. The exliberance of his sketches may,
there FORE we think, be pruned with advantage.
If the story of Mrs. Digby Jones was altogether
omitted, and the gormandiZer's bed scene, ad-
mirable in ITSELF somewhats hortened, the whole
would be rendered more effective. The farce
of Monsieur I6nson, which concluded the even
ng's entertainment, kept the audience in the
best possible humor
The Morblenu of Matthews is perfectly inlmt-
able At the fall of the curtain he was loudly
called for, and again took occasion to declare
himself innocent Of the charges made against
him, and in conclusion stated it to be his deter
mination to perform his - "Trip to America"
the piece which is said to contain the offensive
passages, precisely as he gave it in London,
without emitting or adding single word, only
entreating that the audience would patiently
hear it through, before they pronounced upon its
merits Ner York Courier.

Merite9 Punishment.-On Monday evening,

MeriteG PuniShmem.-On Monday evening,
well dressed citizen was seen to pass down
South Main street, having under his protection
two ladies, who were in all things entitled to
the protective gallantry Of a man o! honor. As
the happy trio passed along the streets, they in
dulged merry, but yet delicate and respectful
mood, and seemed to be above the cares and
hardships of world like this. At the moment
they approached the Custom House, the ladies
were unceremoniously assailed by brace of
rapscallions who in their fondness for spree,
attempted to tear them from their protector. At
the instant, the gentleman, accoutred as he
was,' turned upon the assailants, and with one
well-directed and Herculean blow, laid the
first bravo at his feet. He then turned upon
the second, and with almost unequalled des-
patch foored him, and left him apparently dead
upon the spot. Having accomplished his work,
the gentleman took his fair friends under his
arm and quietly proceeded on his journey. At
the hour of ten, the writer of this article saw
the scoundrels lying in the street. in the condi
ton of Col Crockett's plate at Gen. Jackson's
levee-reH licked, and unable to commit any
further depredatons for the night.

Matthias, the ImpOStor,-nOw in prison wait
ing his trials daily attended by young art
list, who is busily engaged taking his portrait,
which is to be engraved for publication We
were yesterday informed of circumstance in
relation to this business, which serves to exem-
plily the extreme vanity of this knavish unatic.
When the painter first began his task he only
intended sketching portrait of the face, but
this Matthias would not permit, and insisted
that the artist should draw his figure at full
length, robed in his pontificals; which was &C
cordingly done. The picture represents him
in his fine embroidered coat studded with stars,
and large silver sun on the left breast, the
sword of Gideon by his side, the long rule for
measuring Paradise in his right hand, and a
large cooked hat, covered with variety of
strange devices, on his head. Our informant
further stated, that Matthias placed himself in
a variety of positions before he could deter
mine on which would shew his person to most
advantage. Alas poor human nature!
