An UNEXPECTED DE-BUTT-ANTE-The Liver
pool Times relates the following ludicrous Incl
dent
\ circumstance provocative of more hearty and
general laughter than is usually heard at our the
atre, took place on Monday, during the perform
ance of the last and most impressive scene in the
play of Julius Caesar. - Mr.. Fandcnhof sus-
tanned the character of Brutus. He was at that
passage where, after his army had been defeated,
ne asked his freedman to kill him, and resolved to
commit suicide At this moment a venerable look
ing goat, with long beard, made his appearance
at the side scenes and took deliberate survey of
Of the house. The audience at first, surprised at
this novel apparitIon broke into roars of laughter
to the evident horror and establishment Of the ira
gedan to whose ears the unloOked-for sounds were
a proclamation. The cause Of the merriment walk /
ed deliberately down to the footights and stared
AT Ihe audience, whose roafS OF laughter soon star
tItu hlh' ana grove MN once more up the stage
In the mean time Brutus stabbed himself with as
much tragic dignity as possible under the crcum-
stances, covered his face with his robe The goat
seeing his fall, walking over to the PROSTATE Bru
tus, took snuff at him, and was then, amidst
louder roars OF laughter than ever, IN which the
actors joined, removed off the stage.

following from the So4theyn Press
We observe that the Washington Union and .
the Louisville Demorrat advocate the election of
FoorE against DAVIS. in Mississippi.
The Southern Democrats Of the State will .
readily understand how they will fare if thev per
init themselves to fall into the power and organi- .
ZatOn Of the national Democracy.
As for FoorE, we don't know but he Is a good
enough representative in the Senate of Southern
submission. He is very noisy and incessant
talker, and if there were few more like him in .
both Houses, the North, notwithstanding her nu-
mericaI superiority, would have no chance in de-
bate But that she might submit to, for it is good
policy for her to indulge Southern men with
Northern principles. still FooTE is such a bore
that he would undoubtedly disgust Northern men
with Congress and with the Union When he
rises, there is apt to be quite succession of mem
bers North and South from their seats. And i'll
he had remained little longer on our side, we |
