"This world is big with fate" We have had
most peculiar private letters published here, hail
ing from England, the majority of which are con-
cocted from Eastern journals-principally from the
interchangeable Herald, auguring coming events in
England. Permit one born north of the Tweed
to express his opinion. The consolidated form of
government in Great Britain, precludes such sud-
den outbreaks as continental Europe, and espe-
cally France, is liable to. The crown studies fac
tons and howto use them. England has Scotch
and Irish troops to keep her subjects in check, and
Ireland is overawed by English and Scotch soldie-
ry--each having mutual innate hatred to each
other. springing from religious and other feuds
and pre)udices. Here is no national guard, to act
as nudity to well concocted plans--the troops are
paid and pampered with rich dress, especially
the household troops, and look upon those of equal
birth to themselves Inferior beings, and hate
the parueneu. Her national debt of 1000, 900 900
of dollars makes iveeghts of the people for their
own interest unite with the crown. Chartism
is subdued from its own imbeciiy and Cancellation
in Ireland is writing in the throes of death, not
to be rcsuscltated for many years, maugre the ex-
carnations of those whose wish is father to the
thought. The time will come, but many revolu-
tons of the sun will be experienced first.
Monetary matters here are at a crisis We have
had trouble for four months, and on the first of
June, when the law comes into effect forbiddlng
all banks issuing foreign notes, (such as Kentucky,
Indiana, Virginia, &c, which is our principal
currency) then look out for particular trouble
The whole State of Ohio has not much banking
capital to-day as the city of Cincinnati had ten
population, business, &c, has but one million of
capital in bank. What, then, is to be done! New
York and other eastern cities will solve the ques-
ton Mark me--a the West will fail The bro
ker will be the only proflter;
Edwin Forrest acted week before last to houses
averaging $1,000 per night, and was succeeded by
the Viennoise children, to an average of $500. Mr.
Forrest rc-appeared tonight (beng the first of tcn)
tlcman who had won much fame in a former en-
gagement PLAYING first tragedy. Mr. Lennox
has also been engaged, to render the bill attractive
and complete. The leading lady, Miss Eliza Lo-
gan, has genius for tragedy, which will bear but
one parallel in this country-Mrs. Shaw. Miss
Logan is young, but not young actress, having
made her appearance in Rochester in 1893, being
then only IL years Of age. / speak from personal
knowledge OF data, and am led to my conclusions
of age from other circumstances. She'll wake

BY the way Tom Booth, of comic song memory,
is our favorite comedian, and takes the town he
is improved, and card. Mrs. Kent and he are
some in farcc--so you would think, did you hear
the demonstrations. Mr.. John Bates the manager
of the National Theatre, is about TO do immortal
honor to his feelings by, giving benefit to the
Mechanics lnstitute-a free blow ; on which oc-
casion the boy, as Dummy Allen would call him,
Mr. T.. Forrest, tenders his services, gratis. ! bet
OH $4,000. Miles Greenwood, the president Of the
Institute, indcfatigabc man, will not let it fall
getting up TO benefit the Institute, in aid of new
buildings lot, &c, and, when nearly ready ignition
took place, and blew the building up one man
killed, and several wounded. This was on
the 2Ah.
A Scotch thistle ball came of on last Monday,
and was so conducted as to warrant every future
effort triumph. Mr. Mclaughlin the SUI
pcriniendent.
We had a mighty thunderstorm this evening,
which must have astonshed the Maying parties
out of the city. A fire is now raging in Butler
strect-exensive lumber yard, &C., which, but for
the storm, must extend its ravages fearfuly
