GENTLEMEN: Whilst write the noble frigate
Savannah has come up from the anchorage,
under the escort of the steamer Engineer, and
is now being secured to the wharf, preparatory
to being dismantled noble specimen is she
of those that compose the right arm of our de-
fence ~
The surveying steamer Walker left here this
morning for Philadelphia, for the purpose of
having new set of boilers put in, and of under
going general repair Of machinery &C. pre-
paratory to resuming her position in that laud-
able and popular branch of the seryice-the
"Coast Survey"
News of the demise of Commodore Lewis
Warrington reached US this morning, by tele-
graph. Deep, indeed, is the sorrow manifested
by this sad bereavement among his mourning
friends and acquaintances in this town and Nor
folk city, Notwithstanding the repeated assu-
RANGES within the last fortnight that the worst
might be anticipated from the nature Of his
disease. No officer that ever commanded on
this station had SO many personal friends as
had the deceased; and in his death not only
has the navy sustained, was going to say, an
irreparable loss, but this community has parted
with friend, and its citizens brother. 1t is
supposed that his remains will be brought to
Norfolk and inferred in its cemetery, where rest
his wife and children NADEL.

This seems to give men the greatest tendency
to often marriages but is not something due
to the difference of opportunities in the latter
part of life? We have now given our readers
glimpse into the fgurative conditions of matri-

more real than those other figures which fit

ThesniRna.

To the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: As one of your constant readers,
l thank you for the warning you gave some of
our young men who contemplate forming a
Thespian society in Washington. l have not
heard of the result of the intended meeting, nor
whether it will probably terminate in the for
nation of society. If your friendly sugges
tons saved one young from joining the
enterprise, you are well paid in the conscious
ness of having done good, and he will have rea-
son to thank you all his life.
have seen the origin, progress and termina-
ton of, | think, three of those societies. They
were composed of respectable young men-some
of them of high positions in society; others
were of good character but not rich They
were generally spirited and agreeable, and some
were talented young men. | am sure no society
will be formed here of superior or equal mate
rials, for at this time the true character of the
atrcals is better understood. Their first exhi-
bitions were generally well attended, and caused
much amusement, if not profit, to the audiences.
By -and-bye, it was seen that the performers
were neglecting their important pursuits for
the theatre; they were indulging in suppers,
toddies, &C.; were seen flushed in the face, and
in questionable, or rather unquestionabte, So
ciety, and were wasting their morals, money
and time, and cutting themselves off from re-
spectacle society.
Could give the individual results, it would
show painful catalogue of wrecks of all that
was talented, promising and lovely in the manly
character. How many died inebriates some
in duels, others in poverty and prematurely-
and but few ever regained responsibility in So
ciety.
If our young men in Washington are wise,
they will not be caught in the snare. pray
that they may benefit by the sad experience Of
others, instead of being themselves the beacons
to warn others against so pernicious an insttu-
ton.
1t appears, from quotation in your paper of
yesterday, that several of the Boston clergy"
frequent the theatres, and, it is supposed profit
by it. What must be the grade of a clergy
mans piety, or even morality, which eau im-
prove at a theatrel Our Boston folks are very
queer. They have great celebrations in honor
Of "the Pilgrim Fathers, as they call them
| feel proud of their descent from them-and
would denounce any one who would say "A word
against their memory or acts; and yet there is
scarcely n principle in religion, rule in
morals or government, the @ Fathers " advo-
Gated, established and practised, that they have
not rejected, repudiated, and trampled on |!
Who ever heard of theatre, or n Thespian So
ciety, or a play-actor among the Puritans :?
Could there be a resurrection among those Pill
grim Fathers, and a restoration to their former
stations Of power in society, l guess there
would be rare scampering among these people.
Rats never ran from burning house or a sink
ing ship in the way the Boston clergy of the
present day would fly to foreign parts! But
tempord nutaHtttF, &c. ANXIOUS.
