Miss CUsHMAN's RE-APPRARANCE IN AMERICA.
The New York Mirror gives the following account
e Miss Cushman's appearance at the Broadway
Theatre on the evening Of tic 9Th. This was her
first appearance since her return from England.
The house was dsnsely crowded, and large
number Of persons were unable to obtain admit
tanee. Miss Cushman met with q most enthusiast
tic recepton-boXes, parquette and gallery joining
in the applause and cheers with which the theatre
resounded. The lady is but little changed since
she left US, excepting that she is Eathermofe en- bon
point in everyother respect, she is thesame nei-
theF Is her style of acting altered though il il more
smooth and polished than formerly, and affords a
striking resemblance TO that Of Mr.. Maeready--a
similarity by-the-bye that remarked before she
left this country, and also noticed by the London
critics.
eve by no means consider the part of MEs1HaI
Ter one calculated to exhibit the powers Of this ae-
tTess to advantage. Il WILL from its peculiar char
acteristics, always affect audience, even though
performed by mediocre actress We must how
ever do Miss Cushman the Justice 70 say, that we
have never seen IL 80 effectively FsndeT6dil was
mind like performance khFOug hOut, and she was
constantly unfolding new beauties, which were in
stantiy approximately portions at least of the audi
ence, and greeted with loud and hearty applause.
The scene in which she recognizes her husband
was admirably rendered the scream and sudden
fall, though struck by lightning, produced great
effect and fairly took the audience by surprise-fOr
a moment or two thers was total silence, and then
one simultaneous burst Of applause, which was con-
tinusd for several minutes
" Her last scene too was deeply afsctng+-it was
in fact painfully real and except on two three
occasions, we have never witnessed such a seems
as the house presented: there was scarcely dry
eye there and even the unsentimenial youths in
the upper tiers were freelyusing their pOckethand-
kerchefs IL was just tribute tOfhe actress, who.
completely identified herself with the character,
and played with such impassioned earnestness that
it was difficult 70 resist the feelings which she ex{
cited-yOu felt that you must either laugh and have
it out, or give way to them aud cry but te i'm pulse
to cry was by far the most powerful. At the end
of the play the call for Miss Cushman was unani-
nous, and on appearing the house rose en- RasSe,
ahdgavsTheF cheer upon cheer"

. THE NICARAGUA affair."" Ion" writes from
Washington to the Baltimore Sun: The tone Of
the English papers in regard to American inter-
ference with British prstensi0ns in the Mosquito
country, is very determined. 1t was rumored in
England 1t seems, that Mr.. Bancroft had been in
struCted to protest against the occupancy by Great
Britain of the San Juan, and the route thence to
the Lake. A government paper, the Sun, says that
the people of Great Britain will support their Gov
eminent in any position it may take TO protect its
just and necessary interests on this subecE Great
Britain determined that she will possess route
to the Pacific, independently Of any American
route, Therefore it is that she British Consul, Mr..
Barclay, was instructed by his Government TO say,
that Her Maiesty's Government is bound to pro-
tect the King of Mosquito in the exercise Of the
territorial rights which he possesses over Grey
Town, and over the lower part of st. Johns river
and that the State of Nicaragua has entered into
agreement with citizens of the United States in
regard to a place in which it has no competence.
There is material enough for war of something
more than words, if it is true that our Government
has taken ultra and determined position on the
subject" We shall not learn precisely what our
| Government has done until the President shall
make his communication to Congress. The Re-
public Of yesterday however, states in reference
the subject, that it is to form chapter in d.
plomatic history

GOVERNOR VAN NESS, LETTER,

We publish, to-day, letter from Gov
ernor Van Ness. The Governor is gem
orally sound thinker upon public questions,
but we do not think he has come up to what
will be the TAYLOR standard in relation to
the subject Of which he treats. That stand
ard will be higher than that established by
Jefferson twill be the Washington stand
ard General Taylor occupies the precise
ground occupied by Washington, ard like
Washington, he will retain no man in office
who is not proved to be competent to the
discharge Of the duties required Of him, who
is rot sober, who is not honest, and he will
appoint no man to Office who does not com.
up to the standard Of competency, sobriety
and honesty. Like Gen Washington, he
has no friends 10 rei0drd, no enemies 10 pun
ISL, and in this respect he is unlike Jefferson,
who had friends to reward, and had enemies
TO punish. His appointments and his re-
morals pW be IN unison ,UiM public and
pirate Justice, md 70, The interests Of fhe
country so iely.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

The wages Of sin is death, saith the great
Teacher. Every days experience confirms
the truth Of the teaching. We do not re-
member to have read more narrowing mar
rative, going to confirm the truth Of this say
ing, than that which the last Cincinnati
Gazette gives OF the murder by a wife OF
her husbands mistress. We alludc to the
case Of Mrs, Howard Goaded to madness,
by the british conduct Of the man, who prom
sed at the alter to be her protector, and de-
prived Of her children by the inhuman wretch
who was their father, in moment Of mad
ness she sought the woman whom he had
wickedly taken TO his bosom and killed her
This man Howard sowed the wind and he
has lcaped the whirlwind. He took con-
finding woman from the bosom Of hermother's
family, and she bore him two children He
torgets his vows aud punges into career
Of sin with the wife Of another man who was
equally guilty He then begins to abuse
his lawful wife, to destroy her reputation, to
beat her bodily, and ends by taking from
her her children, her hearts jewels and turns
her out upon the cold world to live as she
may, Tie worm that he trod upon and
spurned, turned at last in moment Of mad
ness to plague the wicked tormenter' He
now sees the work Of his hands-and sorry
sight il is. II is death-the wages Of sin.
And yet men viii continue and do continue
to turn their domestic bliss into hell, to
prosecute their defenceess wives because Of
their own abandonment Of the marriage tie;
but though the wages Of their sin may not
be reaped in blood on this earth, they may
be assured, il they reflect moment, that
they have laid up wrath for the last day,
unless they repent. Woman, in this world,
is the prey Of the devilish passions Of man.
and no power can rescue her from his fangs
bat the subduing spirit Of the gospel upor
the hearts Of both sexes
