DRowNyD.-On Wednesday evening, Geo. Rock
felle, his wife and daughter Mr.. Saulpagh,
son and daughter Andrew Hawon, and two
other persons, who all resided at Germantown,
Columbia county, were returning home from Hud-
son In small boat, In tow OF the steamboat Fair
held, and when opposite to their residence, the
line was cast of, and they attempted to row to the
shore. The South America, coming down at the
instant, the night being very dark and heavy
wind blowing from the south, ran over the small
boat, turning every soul into the river, and they
were drowned. The South America Immediately
stopped, and made dligent search, but nothing
could be found except few articles which had
been IN the boat. The daughter of Mr.. Rochelle
had been married but short time, and part of her
oulht had been purchased at Hudson and was in
the boat. Her husband was standing on the shore
awaiting their arrival, but nothing was known on
shore that night of their sad fate. The next morn
ing some persons were dispatched to Hudson, and
when finding them gone, search was made, and the
broken pieces of the boat were found along shore.
We understand that the pilot OF the South America
says that he nothing OF the boat until ne heard
a scream Immediately under the bow Of the steam
boat He rang the bell to stop the boat, but it was
too late.
The THEATRICAL REVIVAL AT TIKI PARK.-There
was another crowded house at the Park last night
Everything, indeed, appearsto indicate that great
theatrical revival has commenced in this city. The
audiences at the Park are the best, both in charac
ter and numbers. that we have witnessed since the
time of Edmund Kean's appearance. Mrs. Now
att's comedy has been quite hit. 1t is very
amusing to hear the manner in which the play
tba
identity OF personages in real life among the supper
ten thousand" with those who figure in the come
dy. 1t reminds us of the story of DR.. Johnson and
a club in Yorkshire. The Doctor, in his "Idler,"
had drawn one of these country clubs exactly to
the life, that the members of one in Yorkshire
despatched most abusive letter TO him, threaten
ing him with prosecution for libel.
Now that this revival has taken place in thea
tricals, we trust that the Park management will
improve it with diligence and tact. They ought
now to have another new play in preparation, and
make arrangements.for regular succession of new
and popular pieces 1t will not do to fall back into
the old system. Messrs. Simpson and Barry must
not sleep on their oars. There appears decidedly
now to be I" a tide in the affairs OF the Park,
which if properly improved, will &c lead to fortune
BREATHING NUIsANcEs AT ST. THOMAS CHucRH-
EverySunday ascorelor two ofsickly looking young
men, Attired in the extreme Of fashion--ike Jour-
neymen tailors on Sunday excursion-may be
seen standing outside Of the vestibule of ST. Tho
mas Church, about the close of morning service
1t seems they congregate there for the purpose of
staring at the ladies they pass out, and annoying
them by their impertinence. The poor creatures
are not worthy OF notice, but if the sweet ladies
who have complained to us of their conduct,
really think the evil of sufficient importance to
justify its immediate removal, let them instruct
their papas their brothers to apply the consta-
BILE, who can at once act under the ordinance for
the removal of nuisances from the sidewalks.
