ment. The North Anoioaw takes the Pennsy''
vauiaw to task for charging the Quakers with IN
consistency, when they denounce war, and vote
for a warrior, General Taylor; and II seems to
think the tone Of the democratic organ is intole-
rant We think this charge, at least, comes with
an evil grace from the North american, journal
which al one time was so rabdy native that II
made war upon the CATHOLICS with an enthusiasm
amounting, very nearly, TO fanatlcism.
There rs a good deal OF speculation here as TO
who will form General Taylor's cabinet, and an
impression is gradually forming that IL will be con-
seryative. We donot think your Webster Corwin,
or Clayton school of politicians will be called in as
councillors, but that moderate men OF prominence
and standing will be selected. However, this
matter rs involved IN great doubt and uncertainty
General Taylor was evidently elected by comol-
nation of all parties-the main body being wings;
and II he studies harmony and quiet IN the adml-
nistration of affairs, he will season his councils
with portions of each. He IS certainly non-com-
mitted to wings or democrats, so far as doctrines
are concerned, and is only bound 10 the latter by
the unauestionably united and powerful support
which they gave him. But, as Monsieur Grape

Our city is unusually dull for the season. The
theatres are generally dong good business, how
ever. Al. the Walnut, Murdoch is now playing,
with excellent success and the Monplaisirs have
just closed an engagement there. of profit to them
selves and the managers. Murdoch has improved
very much since We last saw him. His stranger"
and "Young Mirabef are indeed admirable. The
{" Esme Ida" shows them of to great advantage.
Miss Sinclair. young American girl attached to
their corps, has been very much petted by our
beaux, and she is really fine creature. The
possible may stop and give US another taste of
their graces on the way back to your city. Madam
Bishop was succeeded at the Arch by, young
Power. Speaking OF the Arch, we should state
that the interior of the theatre has been very much
beaufifed; II is now one OF the prettest theatres
In the country. Burton's success with this estab-

also announced to appear at the Walnut. The
great "Amerlcan tragedlan" always draws large
audiences; and he will do so particularly during
the approaching engagement as it is understood he
very takes leave of the stage. His support at
the Walnut " i'll be admirable. Indeed, better aid
than that which will be given him by Miss Fisher
and Miss Richlngs, Nea6e, Leman, Wheatly and
Henkins-to cay nothing of Chapman and Mrs.
Thayer-could not well be obtained IN the coun-
try. The success ct Gen. WEIGH at the CIRCUS Is
as great as ever. The house is nightly thronged,
and the entertainments are always capital Among
the attractions of the CIRCLE, are the brothers Lee
and Walker, gymnasts Messrs. Cadwallader,
Neville and the Towards, equestrlans; besides
clowns John May. The dramatic company is also
very good: embracing as it does among ITS chief
members Miss Duff, Mrs. Stlckney, Mrs. Palmer
