SERIOUS AND COMIC DRAMATIC
READINGS

A CARD-Mr HACKETT, of New York,
n would respectfully acquaint the Members Of
Congress and the intellectual portion of the communi
ty at Washington generally, with his intention to
adopt practically, suggestion of the Rev DR.. Chan
ming and Others Of approved taste, for rendering
tain plays entertaining to a select and refined au-
dience; and that he will, for the first time and
experiment, undertake in that city, evening
ofthe current month, TO read in abridged form and
common, upon Shakspeares two great historical five
act dramas, entitled The First Part" and g The
Second Part of King Henry the Fourth" preserving
the most capable scenes and stirring Incidents eluci-
dating obscure illusions, showing the prominent
points in the language and marking distinctly in the
rhetorical delivery, the different styles peculiar to the
several principal characters, viz the polite King, the
alternately grave and gay Prince of Wales the fiery
and chivalrc Hotspur, the witty and humorous Fal
staff, &c, yet, at the same time, emitting all such
original matter may have been allowable in an
earlier and less polished state of society," but is now
exceptionable TO modern taste.
Further particulars will be gwen in future adver-
tiscment. apo 1t

The Boston Journal states The United States ship

Charestown, undergoing repairs. Her wood work
is generally sound-but her copper sheathing is in
miserable condition, notwithstanding the ship was
covered with heavy copper ony four years ago.

are OF various sizes from quarter Of an inch to
veral Inches in diameter and other parts almost
thin as a piece Of gold leaf When the U. S. ship
Independence was cut down some years ago, she had
been coppered twenty years ard had meanwhile been
on cruise TO the Mediterranean, and her copper
found TO be in much better conlilion han the copper
sheahng of the Columbus The Journal thinks that
by taking off the upper deck of the Columbus, and
transforming hel into razee she would be made one
of the fairest ships in the servce-and with battery
OF sixty -four heavy guns including Paixhans, would
be sufficiently formidable for Ill purposes and match
for an old fashioned English seventy-four An alte-
ration of this kind could be avantageously made Of
other Of our large ships. Tha immense floating cas-
tie, the Pennsylvania if sent 10 during war,
would make a glorious target fir one two steam
ships which could choose thor distance and with
their heavy guns, hull the tlree-decker with every
shot, without receiving injury themselves. The time
when ships of war were formidable in proportion to
their size and number Of guns, has passed away.
