Miss CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN.-The farewell en-.
gagement Of this eminent American actress will
commence at the National Theatre to morrow
evening. Tac lovers Of high dramatic excellence
will scarcely fail to avail themselves of the occa-
sion while the engagement shall last, as it will be
undoubtedly the last in this country. Atits conclu.
sion Miss Cushman will leave, to take up her resi-
dence with her married sister in England
Miss Cushnan's peculiar merits all her own
Abandoning, at the beginning Of her career the
rigid conventionalites Of the stage, she adopted
Shakspeare's teacher, Nature for her own, and
her unbounded success has evinced the judcious
character OF her choice. She has rendered the
stage very eminent service, by showing that
natural and iorcible delineations of human char
acter and passion, bravely and strongly pro.
nounced, will command the applause OF the public
and conduct the performer at once to the summit
Of dramatic cmincnce. No other American actress
ever signalized her by SO original and 80
strongly marked line Of peculiar merit; and few
have won such brilliant laurels.
The CoURTs.-The jurors of the United States cir
cult court will be qualified to day, when it will pro-
coed with the trial Of the civil lite docket.
In consequence of the session of the aforegoing
court the criminal court is greatly inconve nenced
in being compelled to resort to the Of the room Of
tine Board of Common Council. where temporary
arrangements have been made for that purpose
This court will probably conclude it's present term
early this week; and, if 30, several important cases
will go over to the June term.
The WEATHER.--We have had quite variety
of weather since the last issue Of this paper. Sa
turday morning dawned gloomy and moist, and
about eight O'Clock there was pretty fierce shower
Of hail, followed by rain and clustering pushes of
wind. and at intervals during the day the dark
ness was such to render the Of artificial light
necessary for the ordinary purposes of business
Sunday morning, however, broke bright and mild,
and the day was 60 delightfully."- pleasant as to in
vite upon the streets and attendance upon places
of worship an unusual number Of persons.
The FisHERIEs.--As incident to the fishing sea-
son, large numbers Of persona are now collected
about the usual points at our wharves, Alexandria,
and the shores of the Potomac, varousy engaged
in the business. The haulings have 30 far been
light, and, the demand being great. prices con-
tinue high.

CASUALTY AND Loss OF LIFE.-A mournful sc-
cident occurred Friday. at part Of Long
leland Sound known TO mariners by the name OF
Hellgate, being in tho vicinity Of the city Of New
York, and for months past the OF opera
tions OF Mons. Maillefort, who has been removing,
by blasts OF powder, the rocks which formed at
this point serious impeachment to navigation.
The Euening Post gives the following condensed
account of this sad affair:
Z" Nj. Maillefert, at the time of the casualty, was
engaged in blasting the ledge of rocks called the
Frying Pan. had already fired one charge, and
was preparing to fire a second, when a canister Of
powder exploded, killing two men, and seriously
wounding three others. 1t appears that the charge
contained in the canister was too light to sink
upon the rock, and was therefore kept floating
alongside one Of the boats, with view of taking
IL on shore and emptying it as as the last
charge was fired.
"By come unaccountable mistake the galvanic
wire attached to this CANISTER instead Of that con
Meeting with the charge upon the roc *, was handed
to M. Mallefert and fired. The boat nearest to
the canister was shattered into fra gments, and Of
three men who were in it at the time two in
stantly killed, and Mr.. Southland. the pilot,
riously injured One of the bodies, which was
identified to be that of man named Joe, was hor
ribly mutllated, the legs. arms, and part of the
skull being blown off. The body of the other man
has not been found, and it is supposed that it sunk.
was blown to pieces MIR. Southard, the pilot
was seriously injured that be died this morning.
$50 great was the force of the explosion, that M.
Mailleert himself, and man NAMED William
Smith, both OF whom were in life boat, were
blown to height of forty or fifty feet, and falling
into the water, sank to the bottom. AS they were
both, however, able to swim, they got hold of tho
stern Of the life boat, which kept nfoat by it's
air chamber, and were thus enabled TO buoy them :
selves up till some persons came to their assist
ancc from vessels which were near the scene of the
accident. Although M. Mallefert was severely
injured, there is strong hopes OF his recovery.
William Smith is said to be out of danger"
