Mr.. Geo, vandenhoN' Evcntngs with
Sheridan.

Every one recollects Mr. VAHDENHoFF's
readings Of Shakespeare last winter, the fash
ionable audiences they attracted, and the pleas
ing impressions they produced. The same gen
tleman now announces at Carusi's Saloon lite
rary entertainments of an original and highly
interesting character, consisting of light and
agreeable sketches of the life of SHERIDAN.
with readings Of his celebrated comedies. We
have already briefly noticed the first of the
series, which was given on Monday evening
to a small but highly intelligent and discrimi-
mating audience. The sketch Of SHERIpAN's
love, elopement, and marriage, Introductory to
the reading Of the I" Rivals,7' afforded much
amusement, and the comedy itself, as read by
Mr.. VANpENHoFF, kept the audience in con-
tlnual laughter. Sir .anthony, Mira, .Malaprop,
Bob .acres, Sir Lucim O'Trigger even
Lydia Languish was brought palpably be-
fore our eyes. The great variety of voice,
expression and manner that Mr.. VANDEN-
norF brings into play, for every differ
ent character, is indeed surprising. In the
words Of CoLEMAN's celebrated line slightly al
tered, he may be described as &C several single
gentlemen rolled into one." Tonight he gives
a critique on SHERIpAN's comedies, and reads
the '.School for Scandal, We anticipate a
rich treat, and hope to see full and fashionable
house to enjoy it.

We publish this morning the first chapter OF
Mr.. CAREY's admirable pamphlet, entitled The
Prospect: agricultural, .Manufactming, Com
mercial, and Financial, at the opening of the
year 1851 The object of this pamphlet is to
demonstrate, by presentation of statistical
facts, that the result of the Tariff of 1876
has been to diminish everywhere through
out the country the value of labor and capital,
and TO deieriorate the condition of the people,
The tables furnished in this little work demon
sirate that, under 4 system Of efficient protec-
ton, tile returns to labor and capital both in
crease; that it is when we build the most fur
naces that we produce the most food; that
when we build the most mills we produce the
most cotton; that when we make the most cloth
and iron we build the most ships; and that we
can import and export, and consume the most
when, by efficient protection, we are enabled
TO produce the most Mr. CAREY asks MS TO
take nothing for granted, and to take nothing
on the strength Of theory, or on any other au-
thority than that of stubborn and memorable
facts.
We think that the consideration of the facts
be has accumulated is likely TO produce strong
impression on all rejecting minds, and we shall
present them to our readers as afording the
most feIicitous exposition of the whole question
Of protection and e-trade that has ever fallen
under our observation.

found an interesting letter from Mr.. Asa
