THEATRIcAIs-We have now five Theatres in
full operation in this city Three of them doing
a very splendid business, and two rather ordinary.
The Park Theatre, in consequence OF allowing
Celeste to slip through their fingers has gone back
to its old Improbable position. They have Mr..
Geo. Vandenhoff there but, although he is an ex-
cellent actor and has excited some attention. yethe
does not present sufficient attraction TO draw good
audiences.
since the appearance of Celeste on its boards But
the house presents a most singular contrast. On
the stage, where the beautiful Celeste Is the d.
vnity there is nothing but pathos, passion grace,
the house, from pit to gallery, there is nothing but
peanuts and perfumery, bad taste, and worse man
ners. The fact is, that the audiences at this
Theatre have been entirely degraded by the brutal
for the last few years. Celeste will probably play
few nights there, and after visiting the principal At
lantic cities, return to London in December.
The Chatham is doing splendid business. Sin
vocal powers, and Madame Lecompte, the ballet
dancer, and several other artistes, are playing at
this house.
The Olympic is doing little since the commence
ment of the contest between the Bowery and the
Chatham.
Niblo's still holding out wondrously. Nblo him.
self is perfect Napoleon in demi-theatrlcals and
his elegant entertainments have much OF the freedom
and enjoyment OF private parties.
AS to other theatrical matters there is not much
to say Forrest and Clifton at Boston playing to
tolerable houses. Braham is still in Canada so is
Nagel series of concerts are about to be given
here among the first of these, will be that by De
Begnis with Mrs Sutton, the Seguins and other dis
nguished artistes. The Theatres in other Atlantic
cities seem to linger out their existence with diff
Guilty. Great efforts are making in Philadelphia,
and they have much rivalry there, amongst mana
gers of all sorts and sizes, but the result is mpos-
slble n prefjIct a present.

MAN & JOHNSTON "Courier and Enquirer" OF
yesterday, has a long, numbering, pompous, absurd
article, on the famous of private reputation,
practised by Boorman " Johnston. In this ar
tice the New York Herald and the Board of Bro
kers are shown up with wonderful froth and great
display of fummery.
THIS is drol movement. The organ Of Wall
street Reputation has been selected with great pro-
prlety. A newspaper establishment that has been
yielding for years from $4,000 to S2O, OOO accord
ing to its own showing, and yet has to take the
benefit of the act for $500 900 OF debts is very ap
proprate vehicle for the publication and defence of
mercantile doctrines that are on parallel with
Mississippi reputation. What are its motives for
snch course we know not. When the Courier and
Enquirer, former occasion, abandoned its hos
tiliy TO the United States Bank, and became its ad-
vocae, certain S52 900 was exhibited, in due pro-
cess of trial. on the debit side of the account of
certain establishment When the late exploded
Baltimore Trust Company was eulogized in the
same concern, the books of that company also ex-
hibited certain $1,000 in a similar position.
Yet, we will impute nothing but honestly to the
motives, whatever may think Of the arguments
ofthe Courer& Enquirer. We are willing to allow
all parties concerned the utmost purity of character
the greatest integrity Oh PurPosc Al our leisure
shall take up the case as presented by the Cou-
rier, and show the world that the moral principles
contended for by Bowman ~ Johnston, and their
friends are precisely Identical with the doctrines of
Reputation but forth by Mississippi-and that no
commercial community can ever expect to create
confdence-or establish mercantile integrity if its
leading merchandise leading financiers-or its
leading lawyers, countenance such doctrines. We
cast aside the idle special pleading founded the
ssumed bad character and doubtful position Of the
GARD OF Bankers--we cast aside the clubbing ar
gument raised on the question ofreferees-we shall
go al once to the root and branch of the case and
show, by an incontrovertble appeal TO the common
sense of mankind, that the principles conended for
by Bowman 81 Johnson and their referees, are de-
structive of all honor all integrity, all confidence
in commercial dealings-that it is in fact chapter
of the same demoralizrng code, from which spring
the reputation of State debts-the enactment of
stop aws-the suspension of banks-in Short that it
IS dishonor and dishonesty in trade, stalking forth
upon change in habiments made up in the quirps
and bubbles of the lower order of the legal pro-
fesson. This we shall do, and that soon.

DEAR DIR
Mr. Webster has just arrived from Marshield, and
appears much improved by his recent visit to his
home, and little hunting, shooting and fishing ex-
cursion There is how no doubt whatever that he
will deliver his great seech the day after tomorrow
at Faneull Hall. 1t will be a great movement, and
may be like a bomb thrown into an enemys camp.
1t will scatter several of the miserable trading politi.
clans here and In New York so thoroughly, that ii
will be difficult to collect them again. You have
no idea Of the excitement your remarks about Mr.
Webster have created here. The papers would not
have published the speech until Monday morning
had you not sent here to have it specially report
ed for the " Herald" In consequence of that move
ment, the "Daily Advertiser" will have three re-
porters-Mr. Chandler and two gentlemen named
Hale, nephews of Edward Everett The Atlas
will have Mr. Brewster, Mr. Story, Ga cousin of the
Judge's,) and another-Mr Giles, believe. The
Boston Courier" will have two-Mr. Tileston and
another from the American.

AcQUIrrAL OF THE REV Mr.. VERREN.-By our
report in this days paper, il will be seen that this in
terestmg trial closed yesterday by an acquittdt Of
the Rev Mr. Veiren, under circumstances that re-
fleet the deepest condemnation on all those who
have been concerned in the conspiracy against his
good name and reputation. Recorder Tallmadge
himself, with great propriety and feeling, has ex
pressed his entire concurrence with the verdict.
This case has beena most remarkable one, in IFS
inception-its prosecution, and its termination
Mr.. Yerren was only made the stepping stone TO
political intrigue-hls feelings, and those of his
highly accomplished lady and connections, out
ragged merely to reach, by indirection, another pur
pose entertained by other parties His miserable
prosecutors will yet receive their deserts.
OF the singular management OF this cause, on
both sides, we have heard many curious opinions
Ogden Hoffman was fiowry, pathetic, but rather
hlmsy-Hugh Maxwell strong, powerful and eo-
quent-Western not much of any thing in particu-
ar--but Attorney General Barker it would seem

talents and education. How comes this =! Apropos-
We have been cited TO appear before the Court to
answer to complaint made against some error
made by our reporter, but we suppose it will satisfy
the honorable court if we discharge this reporter,
without invoking the aid of the writ OF habeas
corpus.

Songs and Ballads, Translated from

authors, by Charles T. Brooks, Hilliard

The Songs and Ballads of nation,

ever attempted To be rescued from obly-
ion and when this is successfully done,
we'll may il be said that her literature
is perfect. Mr.. Brooks has earned for
himself great credit by translating this
book the poems are said to be trans
lated with great accuracy, maintaining
strict fidelity to the original, while at
the same time the metre and rhythm are
as perfect as any work can be, when
rendered in another language than that
in which it was written.
Most Of the transla,ions are made by
Mr.. Brooks himself but the work con-
tains occasional contributions from the
pens of Longfellow, Frothingham,
Dwight, Mrs. Whitman, and one or
two others. L, is an interesting volume,
and one which we commend to all low

Jun, Charles H. Slocum, burlington
Anthony, and David Parnlenter for mis-
delneanors. Five days time was given
To those arraigned for treason, to ans"e "er
10 The indictments.
The case of the State against Joseph
Joslin, was then taken up,-the question
being a demurrer TO a plea to the juTls-
diction filed to the Indictment which
was found in the county of Newport -
MIR. Ames opened on the part Of the gov
crnment, and read the indictment. II
contained five counts The plea filed
by Mr. Joslin, prayed the court to take
no notice or cognizancc o! the indictment,
because il was not found in the county
where the offence was committed. The
demurrer filed by the Attorney General
set forth that the plea was insufficient,
and prayed that the defendant might be
held To answer over 10 the indictment.
The main question was, where should
the trial take place The Attorney Gen
eral and NIr. Ames, on the part of the
