NATIONAL HALL.-There was q very fair house
on Saturday night, and of very fne-looking peo-
pie, including many ladies. The curtain rose
at late hour, and Mr.. Booth, senior, was the
most drunken Sir Edward Mortimer that ever
and Mr.. Booth, junior, showed very good pow
ers of imitation in this particular. The musi-
clans " struck" for pay, and so there was nei-
Their music nor dancing
An effort was made to play. the tragedy of
douglas" but young Norval had made such
progress in the road of dissipation, as to excite
the sympathy of all beholders for his melan-
choly mother.
Seeing how things were tending, Mr. Taylor
had quietly put on his hat and gloves, picked
up his cane, and walked off, and was therefore
not connected with the ludicrous scenes. His
place was supplied after fashion, in the first
piece, by Mr.. Marshall, and in the second by
Mr.. Potter himself.
Most Of the ladies in front, and many of the
gentlemen, retired very early also.
The wire-walker was non est, and the Juggling
of Mons. La Foy had. barely well commenced,
when the manager of all these entertainments
id est, Mr. Potter-announced the beginning of
the Sabbath and the end of the show.
Our theatre-going people, generally and pro-
miscuously, are very good-natured and patient
congregation of good folks-they are; and the
drama is a very entertaining and instructive
institution-it is.
But 1--WE blush to say it, we had like to for
get Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Cappelk They were
true to duty, and in no sense responsible for
any censurable commission or omission of the
evening. Poor ladies' we thought it pity
that they should be placed in such n situation

At the loio price Of ONE DOLLAR per annlsst,
$ the cheapest weekly newspaper south OF the
/ Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUcH X. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
Ii is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment it is Southern--its conductors
are Vrginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow cit2 ems.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze. nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear THAT it has been
warm unremIttng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so il to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it to be impossible.

lished requires that the subscription be paid al

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUs
AMERICANS
Dagueneotypes by Brady---Engraved by
DAvignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
hinder this title will be published, during the
~ year 1885, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
liustrous in the service OF the country. Every por-
ton ol the work viii receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared TO render il wor nv
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public
Mr.. Brady has been many years opgaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits Tor a National Cal
iery, and those which being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommc ndaiion. His daguerreotyJxs are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London aud Paris and every i'm
preston ia ths Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will h. on
the finest imperial folio paper, 6 by 2s inches, made
expressly Tor this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope !; il
win therefore be comprehensive IN its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation Each of the great de-
partments of lite Will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended TO be worthy and enduring mon
umeot to the great men Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend Of glorious Mon, will respond TO our APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make an era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
iustrious men Of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they snstan In Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most of our citizens the publish
crs have resolved to morit a large circulation by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
established the following

Premiums TO New Subscribers.

NWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each Other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is NOT yef the leading periodicals. Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter.
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasy, disointed, and neoessary
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous teatses to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND

In these periodicals are contained he views, mode

great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views ON any of the grand depart
ments OF human knowledge il was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con
Quoted by his son-in-law Dr. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. It's literary character is of the
very highest order. The "Westminstef," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title Of the "Forelgn Quarterly and
Westminster % IL being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles IL has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in one work the best features
OF both as heretofore Issued.
