This attack upon Templeion did not relate TO his
public character 1t had nothing 10 do with his mu-
scsl talents il had nothing to do with any Of those
qualifications for which he might be justly amena-
BILE to public criticism. What, then, is the cause of
this attack Nothing more nor less than mean
and despcable invasion Of his private hours and an
attempt TO drag before the public some important
difference OF opinion between him and his door,
keeper. or his boot-black, or his barber, or hair
dresser, about the cut OF his wig If any great
artist cannot differ with his barber, or door
keeper, or servant, or any other domestic, with
out being dragged into the columns OF a news
paper setting up pretensions to superior decency,
such as the Mirror does, it time that the public
should know this, and estimate such me an and
despcable course, as it properly deserves to be
timated. No man, nor any artist, for many years
past, has exhibited more splendid and popular ca
reer than Templeton five may Judge by the success
and applause which attended him in his brief So
journ in this city; and he crowned and closed this
career by giving a charitable concert, all the pro-
ceeds Of which were handed over for distribution
under direction Of the Mayor. Yet here are set Of
poor creatures, publishing poor paper in this city,
who could not let this gentleman pass by without
truding themselves into his secret chambers, and
finding out what his barber his hair-dresser, or
his door-keeper, said Of his wig or his whiskers.
Such conduct, in a newspaper, is the meanest
thing of all mean things which we have ever yet
heard Of in this mean world, and in this age of
meanness.
THE CANT OF CRrTIcIsM-The crowded houses
which the Keans have brought out, at the Park
theatre, during few nights past have created
quite an amusing sensation among the small critics
and obscure journalists around us. Some Of these
oyster cellar titeYaeurs have just discovered that Mr.
kean is by equal to his father as an actor
and that he Is inferior to old Cooke, in Richard !;
and we should not be surprised if they should gra-
dually discover that Mr.. kean, by next Saturday
night, displayed no talent at all. These penny-a-
line critics, however, have very generally thought
that Mrs. Kean is quite an artist. Very consderate
that. 1t is pleasing to find, however, that among
the same obscure critics and journalists, who dwell
on Mr. kean's talent in this manner, have discover
ed that the celebrated Mr.. Murdoch was one of the
brightest consultations OF the age, although they
have yet discovered that he had empty houses
while the Keans have crowded ones. The fashion,
able and intellectual audiences who now crowd the
Park night after night must take care, they will
lose all their reputation for taste, by going to see
the Keans, and never having appeared at MIR. Muir
doch's houses.
MEDICAL INrELLrGENcE.-The late lecture of Dr..
Mott, exposing the charlatanism of the celebrated
waterman, Brocchi1i, has raised quite commotion
in the medical world, and excited desire in the
public mind that the distinguished physician,
or some Of his associates, would 60 on and make
other and similar exposures Of the various nostrums
OF the day.
For some years past New York has been inun-
dated with charlatanlsm and nostrums Of all de-
scrptions, and it would really be charitable act to
the present age, and to humanity at large if regular
y educated physicians would, in their public lec-
lures, occasionally take upon themselves the task of
analyzing and exposing these various nostrums,
which are circulated extensively in the country,
and palmed upon the people, while they possess no
real merit, and deserve reputation. II is proba
BILE that more than million Of dollars is in this way
extracted from the pockets Of the people in the
course Of year, by the nostrum venders of all
kinds
Such things ought not to be allowed to pass with
out rebuke and animadversion from some proper
quarter.
The RESURRECTION OF THE FLEsH.-We learn
that the Rev. Dr. Hgbee intends to deliver three
lectures on the subject Of the resurrection of the
body. These discourses will form an extended re
ply to the intdel notions which have lately been put
before the community by the Swedenborgians
Fourierites materialists and others. DR.. Hiebee
will prove by the Scriptures, by history. philosophy,
and no doubt by chemistry, and all the other sci
tl..ta AZ. IL
the same form il existed during life; though whe-
ther it be of the particles Of matter we have
not yet ascertained. Iis, however, very comfort
able doctrine to believe. II we to rise at the
day Of judgment, 1t is pleasant to rise with all the
freshness OF youth upon us.
RELIGIoUs.-The Rev. DR.. Ryder, who has been
delivering lectures upon some OF the characteristics
of the Catholic church, at ST. Peters church, is, we
believe, the President Of new Catholic College,
recently erected, near Worcester, Mass. 1t is ne nd
ed to take the place OF the institution burned down
by the mob IN Boston, few years ago. This semi
nary will probably be otthe most complete OF the
kind in the whole country; it is situated near the
beautiful town Of Worcester, in fine, healthy
country, and the President, Dr. Ryder, is well
known for his capacity and talent, displayed during
his residence as principal of Georgetown College,
near Washington.
MusIcAL.-We understand that Madame Lazasre,
celebrated performer the harp, will give con-
cert next week in this city. This talented lady has
been well known in our fashionable and musical
circles, one Of the most superb performers on the
harp now in this country. We have every reason
to believe that her concert will be well attended by
all the musical and fashionable people At least
ought to be, for she well merits it.
