prompt books, etc, and sailed. On nearing Cape
Cod-or Cape something, we forgot the name OF
ed, and as they were near their destination, they
all resolved TO appropriate some OF its luscious
fruits to their own uses Accordingly anchor was
cast, and the whole crew, from property boy and
candle snuffer, up to the manager, Scott, assailed
the blvalves. Dreadful destruction ensued. The
slaughter ended in about an hour, and our Thes-
plans landed They sought and found the building
IN which they were to perform. Every pre-
and the doors were opened, very large
audience assembled-every character was dressed,
except Scott The audience became impatient,
and stamped energetically; still the curtain re-

nation Of his whereabouts. The stamping and
shouting assumed terrific height, and after all
hopes had been gwen up, an apology was made tor
Scott was advertised to play" The people re-
ceived Snubbins kindly, and that gentleman had
just gone on In hlssecOnd scene, when two Ysomen
hanging over their arms, jacknfe in the one
hand and an oyster in the other. He had remained
at the oyster bed, after all his companions were
gone, to eat in quiet and enjoy the choice of thar
natural Forsnce's; but pursuing his investigations
rather too near amud-bank, he was submerged and
nearly smothered. After being scraped down,
washed OIL, and restored by copious draughts Of
brandy and water, he went before the lights and
sustained the part he was announced Tor, viz:-
Philip in " Luke the Laborer."
RuMoRs is rumor-we can trace il to no
reliable source, and therefore give it AS a mere ru-
mor-that Smith Is engaged in writing 80 act
drama, to be called the Busted Ber, or the Disap-
pointed Polytshun. Smith says, we are told, that
that he cannot untold his tale in less than 80 acts
and he proposes to have II, the tale, or them, the
acts, played by instalments Of five acts at time;
so that the piece beginning on Monday, will not,
end until Saturday. The title is emphatical, but
not, we think, orthographical Smiths genus,
and that excuses all minor errors. Smith says that
he will show in this drama how that the recent or
present election was or will be lost to the wings,
because of the tariff having raised the price oi
putty.
We have also heard another rumor, that Moses
Y. Beach, Esq, our worthy and talented contem-
pOrary OF the Sun, Is dev0tng-yes devOting Isl the
word devoting, we say, the energies Of his tre
mendous mind to the discovery Of the etymology
OF the term shn-plasters. AnintlRation OF the fact
Of this devotion was sent to the principal courts OF
rangements, we are proud to say, have been made
by which these United States and those courts will
receive immediate intelligence of the result. The
financial world may look to be habbergasted. So
Another rumor-that all the live 'coons used in
the great whig procession have been murdered in
sang. .fr0d by their respective and respectab own
ers Verdict, served 'em right il they couldn't
take a Joke
And yet another-that the lovely Miss TAYLOR, OF
the Olympic Theatre, has been sent for by The
court of ST. James to see if she would like to wait
for the Prince OF Wales to marry him. (Some
ignorant newspaper reported that she had been en-
gagged for the Princess's Thealre.)
We think the country ought to serve Miss T.
with a writ OF ne Great Tegn0, or, in English, no.

FATHER RMILLER.-Since the last explosion of this
modern augur's pretensions, the mystery, revela
ton and awe connected with the subject have as
might reasonably be supposed, much abated. The
only enquiries now are-"What will Miller do
now - s'Where's Miller?" "Wil Miller still stick
to his text - AS to the rst let our friends be as
sured he will do nothing tor time. As to the Sc
cend, we come much nearer the truth than he ever
did when we say that at this very day he is per-
winter in his snug homestead in the little town Of
Hampton, county Of Washington, and State Of
New York. As to the third inquiry, we say, GER
tainly-for that he has by long course of gloomy
study and self-raining, worked himself into the

clearly assured, as we know personally his incom.

den subject of which he pretends so unhesilatngly
to be par excellence the expounder. Turkey has
its dervishes; Persia her fre-worshippers; France
her St. Simonians; England her Johannites; Amer
lea must needs not be lacking-she has her Nor
mons and Millerites.
Oo- We perceive that the two Cinnamon OF
whom we last week made mention, have come out
in new dress national, however. We suppose
it is their fall fashion. The eldest one wears a
huge tppet Of fur, which covers his ears and leaves
his lungs exposed. The other has robe Of blue
muslin, which makes him look like bundle Of
clothes just from the indigo tub OF washer-wo-
man. We saw them playing cards the day before
yesterday. They watched the tricks like foxes,
those of cat. Queer creatures. They looked
like enlarged copies Of the figures on preserved
ginger potts. straight from Canton, and are as Chi.
nese as green tea. What do they think, we mar

THEATRICAL IrEMs.--The election excitement is
over, and business, amusements, etc, will resume
the pleasanness in which they wont 10 glide with
out material interruption Theatricals are recov-
cred from the partial paralysis, coon skins and
hickory trees imposed upon them. Mr.. Anderson,
supported by the excellent stock Of the Park, has
played some Of his best characters during the week
Mr.. Anderson is not great, but he is a beautiful
actor. His Claude Melnotte is masterpiece, and
bears favorable comparison with any we have ever
seen. His mode OF dressing the prince is much
better than that OF any other player. Some look
like shopkespers, some like circus riders, some like
villains escaped from melo-dramas, others like
butchers. Mr.. Anderson is a natural actor. He
does not sartle you with great points; but he de-
lights you with correct conception Of the entire
character. There are few "points' you can name
distinctly, but you can always say OF his .perfor-
nance OF q characterIHow wellhe dressed-how
n
beautiful charming, artstical whole'' His Ham
let is capital Charles kemble has said that before
man could play Hamlet well, he must be too old
to look il. Mr.. Anderson is an exception TO
this rule. We predict tor him triumphant soIourn
among US. He will return to his own country re
gretted by all who have seen him. The longer he
remains the better he will be liked
