HAcKETT IN KING LEAR.-The Philadelphia pa
pers speak of Jackets Lear in terms Of approba-
ton. The Ledger Of Tuesday says:
HackeH repeats King Lear again tonight at the
National Theatre. The crowd to its second repre-.
sentation, on Saturday, must have furnished Mr.
Hackeu the most satisfactory evidence how the
public generally appreciated his previous debut in
that great part. Such the rush when the doors
osened that became necessary, at the pit partcu-
larly, to stop the sale Of tickets before the rising
the curtain.
The United States Gazette has the following par
agraph
The crowded house Saturday night at Burton's
theatre TO see Hackett repeat King Lear, has in
due the manager TO postpone, until Thursday the
play Of the Merry Wives Of Windsor, though pre-
yiously announced in order to afford the public
night one more opportunity TO witness the gradual
decline and fall and the great moral example of that
weak and choleric, but Kind hearted and sympathy
winning "Old Monarch - supported, as the charac-
ter is, by strosg cast, and new scenery and APP
pointments
Some curiosity is beginning 10 be felt in this city
in regard TO Hacketts capacity TO personate Lear.
A good deal OF doubt is entertained the subject,
and il will hardly be removed except by person
al observation.

Morn CRIBRISG FROM THE HERALD.--The
''Ceurier & Enquirer" yesterday, had the inefa-
bic TO copy report of the first part the
celebrated speech of Mr. Webster at Patchogue, and
to ascribe it to penny paper which was estab-
lished under the patronage Of Messrs. Phenix, and
other respectable gentlemen, the organ of their
political sentiments till the next election be deter
mined.
The meanness and dishonesty Of this course are,
however, on par with the whole conduct of the
Wall street press towards the Herald, save and ex
cept that or the Journal of Commerce. We will do
Hale and Hallsck the justice to say that when they
the proper and customary neutrality-suspicious. the
conduct of the g Commercial" and the " Courier" is
beyond all execration, execrabe. Having incurred
avery heavy expense in organizing an Express from
Patchogue to town, and having published Mr.. Web
ster's curious speech the day after its delivery,
in advance Of all other papers, common honesty, as
of business, ought to have restrained these pa
pers from appropriating to themselves our labors
without acknowledgment. Yesterday we were com
PEELED 10 deiain the publication Of the Herald till
o'clock in the morning, in order to prevent the
pilferers from perpetrating more theft. We have
the consolation, however, TO know that the public
derstapd the question. The Wall street press hav
ing failed to affect, in the remotest degree the pros
perity and character Of the Herald by open denun-
citation and violent abuse, have now assumed the
principles Of pickpockets and stole our news-our
reports, and intelligence without the least ac
acknowledgement On their part. This is game, how.
ever, that cannot last long

To our Advertisers,

In spite of our enlarged dimensions, we have to
apologize to many of our advertising customers for
emitting their advertisements during the last two
days In order to make room for the extraordinary
political meetings and speeches, of both parties,
both in town and in Long Island, we have had to
leave out for day or two, nearly five columns of
advertisements The present interesting crisis of
the country will be our best excuse Since our en-
largement probably no paper ever increased So ra-
pidly in every branch of its business the Herald
has done For this let rs be thankful.

The Great Long Island speeches.

Mr. WEBsrER's famous speech at Patchogue is
for sale at this Office Fl Ann street. price two cents
This is one of the most curious, witty, argumenta-
tive, and original speeches ever delivered by Mr.
Webster, arising partly from the fidelity of the
porter, and partly the fine vein of good humor in
which Mr. Webster now is, since the election. Du-
ring the last days have issued three editions
of this speech, embracing nearly Co. 900 copies and
sent them to all parts of the country. The for
Mr.. Webster's speech has been tremendous. Even
the locefocos read and laugh at it-at the wrong
side of their mouth, however. They say that the
fine flow of wit in Mr. WIS speech is all owing to
the bracng air and delicious atmosphere of Old Suf
folk-that sleep one night there without
feeling like democrat Be that as it may, Mr..
Webster at Patehogue goes like wildire.
