PoLrcE, June 2l.-IMaking the most Of an orpor
fuaify-Last night, little before IL o'clock, Mr..
Denis Bena, an Irish gentleman, having INDUCED
himself with glass or two too much, stepped into
the respectable public house kept az the corner Of
Broadway and Pearl street by Mr. A. Hamilton, and
demanded q glass Of something, just by way Of
fnisher. While there, the indscreet Mr.. bcna ven
tured upon argument with sober gentleman IN
the same premises, concerning the size and accom-.
modations Of the Great Western. Mr.. Bena said she
was two hundred feet long-Mr. Krewson, his anita
ponist, said she was only enc hundred and ninety
nine feet from stem TO tafrail-all told Mr.. Denis
Bena offered 10 back his opinion with elO bill. Mr.
Krewson said he would wager him $50 that Il was as
he stated. whereupon the IRISH gentleman pulled
ont $500 bill and also ESQ bill, both of which he
offered TO put up in support Of his allegation During
this brief banter couple Of darkies observed
be peepng through the crevices Of the window shut
,ers and Mr. John Rochelle the keeper ofthe bar very
kindly offered TO take charge Of Mr. Benas funds until
next morning lest he shoud be robbed Of II by some
OF the patrols who had an eye upon him. This sugges
ton not appearing to be very unreasonable, Mr. Bena
was in the Of handing his money to the bar
keeper when in jumps a couple ofbig negroes one Of
whom taking the money out Of his hands, pretended
TO put IL in the pocket book, which he handed to Ro
cheIle and departed. On locking IN the book u was
found that the $50 bill had been extracted whereuPon
all hands, with the exceptions of the bar keeper ana
the complainant endeavored TO make their escape
The door was closed however, before they effected
their purpose, and the two worthless krswson ana
Francis, were arrested, and taken 10 the watch
house. All the consolation that Mr.. Bcna 10 likely 70
receive will be that the thieves had not taken OH ms
$500 note az the same time.

INVENTION OF PRINTING.

When Liberty first sought home on the earth,
No altar the goddess could find,
Till Arts greatest triumph to Printing gave birth,
And her temple she reared in the mind;
The phantom of ignorance shrunk from her sight,
And Tyranny's visage grew wan,
AS wildly he traced in the volume of light
The pledge Of redemption to Man.
All hail the return of the gourious day,
When Freedom her banner nnfurled,
And sprung from the Press the Pronethean ray
That dawned on slumbering world
When Science, exuting in freedom and night,
Unveiled to the nations her eye,
And waved from her tresses refugent in light,
A glory that never die.
The mighty enchanter, whose magical key,
Unlocked all the fountains of mind,
The thought of the mighty in triumph set free
In cloistered confusion confined: r.
The lay Of the poet, the lore Of the sage, a
Burst forth in obscurity's gloom
And started to life in the wonderful page
The glories of Greece and Of Rome.
Great ark of our freedom, the Press we adore;
Our glory and power are in thee;
A voice thus has waited to Earths (arthest shore,
The shout Of the great and the Free;
The slaves CALLING letters are burst by thy might,
The Empire of Reason is thine,
And nations rejoice in the glorious light
Which flows from fountain divine.

COMMUNICATED.

find the subjoined announcement, Mr.. Editor,
in the columns of the N. 0. True American; and
it being of rare, if not interesting, character,
| presume you will contribute to its circulation:
"A German paper has just been started in Phila.
delpha, edited by six doctors, one major and
three prvates The city of brotherly love must
look out. A paper in foreign lingo, with ten
editors, all protesting the cut and slash business,
is no triang matter"
With such an editorial combination of profes-
sional gentlemen (O'' and privates, and Major
at their head-these foreigners, or foreign prose
lytes, must expect to administer their nauseous
concoction of filthy doctrines to Americans by
physical concentration. Should they act with
the pure designs by which their late cotemporary
Of the Baltimore "Banner Of Freedom y appears
to have been actuated in his career-make a
break (Breck )-and meet his fate, they may con.
sole themselves in having company, and Major,
in their adversely, to drill them. LEON.

The " "Natipe Americma," edited by fl. j.
Brent, Washington city, is one OF the most racy,
brilliant and ably edited papers of the times. The
genius the editor imparts interest and anlma-
ton to its columns, and rives the attention of the
reader to the principles he advocates. If the
editor can conveniently furnish them, we should
be glad to receive from the lst to the 25th num-
Der inclusive. 1t is one of the very yfeac papers
we would be pleased to file.
We cannot but feel grateful by the handsome
notice taken of our young paper by so respectable
aud intelligent one as the Western Weekly Re
view; and whilst indulgingin little editorial va

to the great demand for our paper his request can
not be gratifed.-ED. N. A.

LIGHT CRITICISMS.

We have been politely favored with exchange at the
hands of the 1'Delaware Register and Farmers Maya
zine, published at Dover, by William Huntingdon Esq.
This is youthful periodical, we learn by the head
ne .'Vol. i. No g., but yet we like its sober and
spectacle cut and shall be glad to render the editor any
service within our power.
II seems to have been originated to suit the natona
taste Of Delaware, f may the expression in the
present sense,) and do not see why it should not
flourish under the auspices of the gallant little State,
unless there be sectional national feeling in the
State, which nowadays is thing What is the
standard of our taste Is it in the air the ocean,
buried somewhere and yet there has not been found
sufficient magic to raise the bright spirit of the revolution
from its entombed repose. Will Mr. huntington tell US for
what purpose he published the lines Of "George Read
Thomas McKean,' bold heroes of our Washington wars
There throb in the land to echo response
TO the theme Of patrotism; but there are thousand
hearts to flush and to reproach him for daring to lift the
veil from off their graves and give their good deeds

THEATRICAL-NEW SEASON AT THE M
TIONAL.

| On Monday night Forrest in Othello, and Mr.
Oxley in Iago. We were glad to see large House
surprised; for Mr. Forrest has been to Eu
rope, and the British critics had placed their seal of
probation upon his claims, which are bound to kiss
in reverence as the Turk does the sgne Of the Segnor
However, we not going to preach over the old
story of woes, but proceed quick we can to
brief outline of opinion respecting Mr. Forrest and
Mr. Oxley.
In the first place, Othello should be played in
southern city There is something revolving to south
ern minds to sweating negro sighng on the shoul-
der of white heroine kissing with his dnsky lip the
snowy forehead of delicate There is nausea
which rises within at the degrading spectacle, and
we verify believe that if the immortal Shakespeare was
alive, lis he deadly and among u.s. would lynch him
for this said amagamation play.
Well, Mr.. Forrest made his appearance magnifcenty
dressed and the audience with accord hailed the ia
vorite of two worlds, with hearty cheer. We were
glad of it.
Mr. F. went through the Introductory processes OF the
play sfly and codly; but with Judgment in the empha-
SIS though not in the intonaon That hollow buzzing
sound when his voice utters the lone emotions of his
heart is heavy and unnauraltoo cultural and affected
1t is Mr. Forests greatest fault but it becomes great
beauty in his Metamora.
The receipt of lagos poison well done and better
conceived Mr. Forrest is better understander than he
is delneaor of Shakespeare which opinion he will take
compliment to his brain at the expense of his
manner.
Mr.. Oxley is promising young actor-not so young
either-and his Iago most capital, and would have
been perfect, had not Coopers performance of that diff
cult character been stalking about the Stage all the time
Mr. Oxey performing. How would Forrest like to
play Iago' Did he ever think of trying ii?
This week have not the time to enter at large into
Thearcas; indeed Mr.. Buckingham, Ex-Member of the
British Parliament, &c., has engrossed critical acn-
ton in that line, and have felt bound curry favor
with the roaring on who is performing lectures for the
benefit Of the American Nation.

FOREIGN STANDING ARMY.

In our last we published an extract from the
Washington Native American, giving correct
view of the proposition laid before Congress by
Mr.. Allen Of Ohio. We have few remarks to
make upon the dangerous tendency of that doc
trine. The dangers incident to any standing
army are universally acknowledged, and that
policy which limits its number to the actual wants
Of the country has been sanctioned by the wise
and good of our forefathers, and is acknow-
lodged by all parties of the present day. This
adherence for regular armed bodies is not enter
tanned without just cause, and it is simple ques-
ton to ask upon what this dislike is founded.
Every one is ready with an answer, and all point
to the pages Of history for their evidence. If
then, a paid army formed of our own country
men be SO dangerous, what can we say of ont
composed of foreigners! If Mr.. Aliens PROPOSE
ton is accepted, and his bill becomes law, WI
shall have army entirely made up Of aliens
of men who have no affection for the weIware of
the country the permanency of our institutions;
and in what other light can we look upon such
body than that of an armed band of foes with
in the very core of the country, and ready not
only to co-coporate with any military usurper of
our own land, but with any power that may
declare war against us! What dependence could
we place upon such troops if hostilities be
commenced between us and the country from
which they came, and for which they still en-
tertain the prejudices that spring from affection!
We hope that the wisdom of our legislators at
Washington will nip this dangerous proposition
in the bud, and henceforth let all good citizens
keep wary eye upon Mr.. ALLEN of Ohio.
He is not to be trusted

FOREIGN PAupERs IN MAssAcIUsETTs.-We We
have received from Mr.. Bigelow, Secretary of
State, a copy of the Abstract Of Returns of the
Overseers of the Poor in Massachusetts,, for 1887,
prepared in compliance with the act Of the last
session of the Legislature. From this statement
we find that the average number Of state paupers
is 40l7. Of this number 1888 are natiues OF
England and Ireland! Net amount of expense
of supporting and relieving paupers, including
interest on alms-house establishments, $780,
54S &C. Thus is America made the great aims
house of Europe.
Consider the following testimony of an emf
grant, given before justice in Albany. He
says that in June last the parish officers paid the
passages of himself and forty others of the same
parish, from Chatham to the city of Boston, in
America, on board the ship Royalist, Captain Par
ker, and that they landed in Boston in the month
of July last-that the parish officers gave. him 80
shillings sterling in money, in addition to paying
his passage-that he is now entirely destitute of
the means of living, and is unable to Tabor, and
prays for relief
Now here are FORTY PAuPERs cast upon our
shores from one parish in England, and IN fre
gears they become citizens, entitled 10 cote! Is
there an American of any party-excepting the
RARE Mr.. Allen of Ohio-who can believe there
is no danger in admitting equal privileges with
himself such class of foreigners! remedy to
this crying evil admits of not a moments delay
At this moment the ocean swarms with ships
crowded with this wretched population, bearing
them from misery abroad to misery here.-Bostof
