Gen. Smith and all the passengers departed, ETC.
The steamer Isthmus arrived yesterday from
Chagres by way Of Havana. She left Chagres on
the 9th ult., and Havana on the 9th inst. We
learn from Capt. Baker, of the Is,hmus, that the
long expected steamship California had at last
arrived at Panama. She sailed on the 9th, taking
Gen. Smith and 400 passengers. Three more large
vessels had also left Panama, taking all the passen-
gers, so that the Isthmus is now entirely clear.
The agents of the Company have succeeded in
procuring abundance of transportation across. The
Orus is running on the river TO Cruces. The 18TH
mus brought sl2, 900 in gold bars to Havana, which
was Slipped at that place the Isabel Tor Charles
ton. The mails were also sent 10 the same place,
by the same vessel, and no letters were brought
here. The steamship Falcon arrived at Havana
on the 9Th and left again on the 9Th. Nothing had
yet been heard Of the steamship Crescent City,
which sailed from New York on the 9Th,
The agents have received positive information
that ten twelve vessels have left various places
on the Pacific coast for Panama, in order to take
passengers, SO there will be no want of transporta-
ton from that point. The Isthmus will meet the
California OH the 18th proy at which date The lat
ter vessel will again leave Panama. The Isthmus
will take no freight so as 10 afford all accommoda-
ton for baggage. Capt. Baker says that the gold
stories have not been at all exaggerated. but are
rather below the truth.

ORLEANS THEATRE.-We have seen the Mon
paisirs in the grand ballet of Esmerada," and
can only say that their performance was as chaste
and delicate as natures purest blush. The house
was full, and the greatest satisfaction was evil
spoken of the Monplaisrs in terms of rapture, and
minute dissertation on their powers at this day
would be useless. Sc Esmeralda - is most beauti-
full ballet. The music and scenery are charming,
and the stage appointments are worthy of the
enterprzing manager. 1t were useless to attempt
description of the many beautiful dances executed
by the Monplaisirs. The lady is as graceful and
powerful as when she first visited our city. Mons
Monplaisr is decidedly the best dancer we have
ever seen. His power is only equaled by the grace
that adorns all his efforts A word about Mons
Monpaisr apart from his profession. Last October,
as the ferry-boat plying between Hoboken and
New York was on her trip from the former to the
latter place, Capt. Canon, son of our Honorable
Judge of the Second District Court, by accident,
fell overheard. Mr.. Canon had been on hunting
excursion, and was heavily loaded with powder,
shot and game bags, and was consequently in great
danger of drowning. The alarm was given and
Tue oodt was stopped. III tns moneQt OF anxiety,
Mons. Monpaisr being, also passenger on the boat,
plunged into the river to the rescue of feow-man
1t was night, and the weather was cold but his
courage brought him to the contamination of his
manly Efforts. He succeeded in rescuing Mr.. Ca
non from watery grave. When we consider that
these gentlemen were strangers to each other, and
that Monplaisr by his generosity laid himself liable
to destruction by disease, setting apart his risk of
life in the perilous undertaking, his conduct on the
occasion merits more than language can express.
The Monplaisirs merit all the patronage our gene
rous public can bestow.

SQUARE GRANITE PAvING.-1f any entertain
doubts in regard to the propriety of instituting
square for the round stone pavement, we would
advise them to visit and inspect the work now
being made by Sam. L. Forgay, around the new
square of ground recently laid out in front of the
old Custom House. We were most agreeably sur
prised to find il in such state Of forwardness and
the fine appearance of the work.
We yesterday paid visit to the lots situated on
Hercules street, between Triton Walk and Cailiope
streets, complained of by "a citzen," as teug
filed by the contractor with offal, and we find our
correspondent mistaken as to the material being
used The carts Of the contractor were bringing
the scrapings of the streets and filling up these lots
and this has been customary heretofore. portion
of the carts carry oa and Others the street scrap
ings from the streets, and there Is nothing ohjec-
tionable in the of the latter for filling lots. We
noticed some lots directly in the rear of the above,
with about a foot of water on them, and it
occurred us that this evil in direct viola
ton Of the ordinances. Whenever any of our
citizens have complaints of this kind TO make, il is
only necessary to go to the Surveyor, who is
charged with such business and we satisfied il
will receive Immediate attention.

AMERICAN THEATRE.--The first appearance OF
Mr.. Booth, since his severe indisposion was greet
ed by cordial welcome from his numerous admi-
rers although we regret 10 state the dreadfuiy in
clement state Of the weather materially affected the
receipts Of the house. The Stranger was the par
played by this admirable actor; it was sustained
with the strict attention to the individuality of the
character which marks this genlleman's mind
like performance. The scene in which he meets
his repentant wife was one Of intense feeling, and
worked strongly on the sympathes of the audience,
winning the sweet applause of deep attention and
sorrow full interest. Mrs. Coleman Pope, always a
vorite, entered fully into the spirit of the errng
wife, but still devoted mother, and supported
Booth most efficiently. The grand legendary dra-
ma Of The Flying Duchman,' increases in favor.
The scenery is beautiful and the accuracy with
which the effects are accomplished deserves all
praise We have seldom the good fortune to see q
drama of this nature so well put upon the stag e
in every respect.
The delightful little Herons commence an en-
gagement to morrow night, and will, we have no
doubt prove trump cards for the active and enter
prisng manager.

Cold Wherever adventure is to be found, there
will be Mr.. Peoples. al the breaking out of the
Mexican war-when Gen. Taylor called on Gov.

sponded to by our CITIZENSHIP. p was one of the
earliest to enrol himself. On the discharge of the
Louisiana Volunteers Cd the Rio Grande, he pub
lished the 4" american Flag" at Matamoros AS
soon as Gen. Taylor moved on Monterey, he accom-
panied the army, always on hand for any service
even TO ride fifty miles the guerilla range, to
carry an order from one section of the army to
other, or on the field of battle. The cannon OF
Vera Cruz had hardly grown cold, before the
American Eagle - which he lin connection
with MI. Jas r. Barnard) published and edited
issued from the press; the 'etreaiing foe from
Cerro Gordo had scarcely passed Jalapa before the
american Star +" was shining upon our victorious
army in Puebla the same Star " was seeking to
light the vaingorous enemy to the honor of peace,
by admonshing them of the consequences of further
resistance and when, at last, the capital was
taken, and as the Star =" foreold, the enemy scat
tered to the four winds, it appeared daily in that
capital and towards the last at sacrifice to its
publisher, until the treaty of peace was signed and
ratified by both nations, when it set with the rise Of
the Mexican coors upon the National Palace.
Whilst the GO Star" advocated an honorable
peace, it fully maintained the honor Of our Country
and Army, and none attacked either without meet
ing champion in its editor. Mr.. Peoples had bul
few enemies in the army, and those few were prin-
cipaly from the ranks of those who sought ephem-
eral fame by attempting to forestall public opinion
at home, and converting solely to their own brows
the laures won by the whole indomitable host.
Nor was the Star without its influence upon the
Mexican people 1t gave them an idea of our insti-
tutions and the operation of our wholesome laws.
series Of articles against the military and ecclesi-
astical rule Of the country appeared some time be-
fore the treaty of peace was ratified, exposing to
the people the abuses of the military and clergy,
which created such an excitement amongst the
clergy, that money was loaned the peace party
through their inf uence. The Archbishop of Mexico
was prevailed upon to take place in the Congress
of Querttaro, and by his influence changed the
sentiments of some of the most violent opponents
of peace. The Stars articles had been copied into
the Mexican papers before those editors were aware
of what the result would be, and so excited became
the people, that the clergy, who had been the bit
terest opponents of peace became its strongest adj
vocates, in order to get rid of people whose infu
ence was causing an inquiry into the abuses of the
Church-not however, shaking their faith in the
purity of its doctrines.
