eelves as the press Of New York, was as completely
an abolition affair as if il had been announced in
tie program ne, and ii has no. only given rise TO
good deal Of excitemen. and discussion In various
circles in this city, but il is likely to be productive
of very important results in other parts Of tie
Union; for the tsl-tale press bears the news TO
very corner Of the land, and wha. is done in the
great metropolis OF the United States is very
speedy known all ever the country.
Bryant, the President Of the banquet, IS ,he edi-
tor Of an abolition journal Goodwin, his son- IL law

which has led to all the agitation and al the mis-.
chief that have since flowed from these principles,
ss inevitably as the stream flows from i.s source.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is an abolitionist Of the

Nor Is this an isolated instance Of their getting
hold Of Kossuth. From the very beginning they
have managed TO direct and control mis- movements.

TnE DEBUT AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE OF Ma.
.. V. BRooKE, THE TRAeEDIsS.-The fe54 Of Mr..
Brooke, the new English actor at the Broadway
theatre, onMondsy evening, was rather interest
ing event. He vas received by . very fol AMI
fashionable house. aud heard with great patience,
and q good deal Of syprOba:ion, and wound up with
a neat little speech, thanking them for the recep-
ton they had given him, with some fervent feeling.
II was his irst appearance in this country, ar 4
good dea Of interest had been created among an
interesting circle Of loungers and critics. mSuagers

about great actors and frs, appearance,.'
We have said tast Mr.. Brooke received good
deal Of applause tarough the first night, In she
character Of Othello Some OF IL Was somewhat
discriminating, and good deal Of il vas without
Judgment or proprety. MIR. Brooke, nOtwiths,and
ing preliminary puff, both ia England and ia this
country, 10 undoubtedly q good actor, and well
acquainted With the business Of the stage, and cx
refienced In all i,s traditiopssy mechanism but
ho 10 by no means great actor, or one that wiz
produce what call tbis eouatry, treme ndous
lie reaches about the same rank Ia the
ipms as that which one of predeos.or. did, who
made his appearance here a few yeats sgo-re
mean Anderson. Mr. Brooke is o good actor,
fair actor, highly respsctsble actor, and a cor
ect actor; but he is withou. that high speciVs Of
aspiration or genius which has marked all graz
etors Of the past or present times. In some o.
hose bursts Of genius he is no. even equal 10 some
espects, 70 Forrest, although in others, be is more
asteful and somewhat tanner. lie hes not produced
be deep impression, which his warm friends ex-
ectes for him, but he has main aimed q very high
iAHdng for respeotabiiiy, intelligence, and cor
ect appreciation Of domestic character.
