1 GEORGETOWN CoLLEaE.-Some Of the letter wr
tiers at Washington have been circulating various
statements calculated to nure this excellent estab
| lishment. The Express of this city published some
days since letter affecting to give some starting
information relative 10 an alleged recent papal bull
| requiring the eccesastcs connected with George
town College TO refrain from any association with
their fellow-ctzens Of other persuasons, and some
| remarks of a similar tenor were made by one OF
our own correspondents. We have reason to know
from the best authority that these statements have
been altogether incorrect, and we do not doubt that
they were originated by persons who are jealous Of
the extraordinary popularity which this seminary
has acquired under its admirable system of man.
agement by President Ryder. There is no know
ing but some Of DIR. Ryder's own "very particular
friends" may have had something to do with this
piece of business
The real facts are these. DR.. Ryder is now on
his way home from Italy, but in the meantime it is
understood that the Rev. Mr.. McElroy, of Frede-
rick, Maryland, will be appointed president of the
college during the ensuing course of studies, and
that the Rev. Mr.. Muladoy, its present head, will
be stationed at St. Joseph's Church, Philadelphia.
We have frequently during our visits to Wash
ington, had the pleasure of personally judging of
the excellent system of education pursued at George
town College, and the exemplary character, con-
duct, and proficiency of its students. Both
male and female departments are conducted in the
most efficient manner Again and again we have
been favored with an opportunity of attending the
examinations of the pupils, and on every occasion
we have been extremely gratihed by the evidences
of their progress under the admirable system Of in
-, ia,
languages-ph osophy-musc-and all the branch
of thorough and elegant education, we have
had abundant proofs of the ability of the teachers
and the diligence of their pupils. Indeed, the esab-
llshment is model worthy of general imitation,
and well deserving It's popularity amongst intelligent
men OF all denominations throughoutthe land
RE-OPENNG OF THE PARK THEArRE.-The Park
Is to be reopened tonight, and fine array of dra-
m tic talent graces the announcement of Manager
Simpson. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kean-Mr Lacy
Mr.. Brough--Mr Reeve Mrs. Mowatt--Miss Darcy
Miss Moss-Miss Horn, and many other stars Of
greater or less magnitude are to shine during the
coming season, which we have every reason to an
ticipate will be prosperous and brilliant in the ex-
IRENE.
The appearance of Kean and his wife on our
boards will be counterpart to that of Forrest and
Miss Cushman in London. Whatever may be
thought of Mr.. Forrest as a tragedlan, and
opinions well enough known, and not altogether
singular yet if it be true, has been stated that
regularly organized effort to put him down was made
in London, we do think that we of this region are
called upon TO exhibit our sense of the injustice Of
the enlightened and liberal British critics. Let us
then give Kean and Miss Tree, for by that so much
esteemed name we prefer designating her, recep-
ton as liberal American hearts can dictate. Kean
is only second or third rate actor, but his wife is
OF the most beautiful and classic actresses of this
or any other age Let both have good reception
and let thus put to the blushf that be possible
the ilberal and BLACKBOARD critics of London who
Kissed Mr.. Forrest purely because they had COM
bined to put him down.
