Mr.. john BATEs.-In the absence of the re-
this paper, there appeared, yesterday morning,
an Objectionable article, referring to Mr.. John
Bates, manager of theatres at ST. Louis, Louis
vile and Cincinnati. Had we been at our post,
no such article should have appeared, and Mr.,
Bates should have been, if alluded to, spoken Of
in terms of proper respect.
.Meanness - is not 90 characteristic of Mr.
Bates, though close, business economy and cal
culation are. Mr.. Bates has always, publicly
and through the newspapers, denounced the
" starring" system, as now Unfortunately
practced, an imposition upon the public, the
manager, and the meritorious L" stock - actor.
He has heretofore (and we believe always and
correctly refused to recognize Miss Logan as
any thing more than an excellent stock actress
1t is simply ridiculous to say that he & with
characteristic meanness, refused Miss Logan a
benefit due her in her engagement, unless she
would submit to divide the profits with the veal
thy and grasping old manager, and pay out of
her share the major part of the expenses"
No actors or actresses but Charlotte Cush-
man, Forrest, kean, Ellen Tree, and others of
the same class, ever receive better terms, and
the majority of them receive much less. We
will wager something that Miss Logan never
divided half of the profits of benefit Mr.
Bates is the last man in the world to impose
upon any one in the world who is "unpro-
tected''

The steamship United States, Captain Berry,
from Aspinwall coming up the river, and the
towboat Mary Kingsland, bound down, with
the ships Quebec, Frances and Sea Eagle in tow,
came in collision Thursday night, about half
past eleven o'clock, in the lower part of the
English Turn. The United States, in coming
around the Point, was struck by the current
when she took sheer, and was Immediately
backed by her engine, but too late to avoid
coming in contact with the ship Quebec, which
she struck on the larboard bow, breaking hole
in the hull below the waters edge. The Mary
Kingsland then ran her into shoal water, where
she sank to the main deck. The Frances had
her bowsprit carried away, besides receiving
some other triiing damages The Sea Eagle
sustained no injury, The United States had
her head and upper works carried away, on the
larboard side. The towboats Mary Kingsland,
Star and Mobile went down this morning to
take the cargo of the Quebec, and raise her, if
possible.

PREVENTION of the Portuguese, began in his time
to carry on the trade direct from the ports of
Andalusia to the the Coast of Guinea. The
number of slaves in the city of Seville at that
time was very considerable The slavery of the
blacks seems, from the time we are now speak
ing, to have followed the transplantaton Of the
sugar cane, which has been cultivated success
lively in Spain, in the Madeiras, in the Western
Isles, in the Canaries, and lastly in the Ameri-
can Archipelago, and on some parts of the Con-
tinent.
Slavery ceased in Europe towards the middle
of the thirteenth century, but from what oper-
alive causes it is not necessary to examine; but,
unquestionably, not from any new discovery
that slavery was forbidden by any law, human
or divine If there had been any positive pro-
hibition by any law, by whatever name it may
be distinguished, this law would have appeared,
and would have been found in practice at some
time before the beginning ofthe fourteenth Gems
fury.
Modern slavery began on Portuguese capital,
protected and encouraged by royal authority.
We will continue our investigation of this
subject in our subsequent issues.

Mr. CntPPENDAIE.--Our readers will be clad
to hear from 90 Old Chip" on his new stage Of
action We take the following from the LONDON
Era, high authority in theatricals
g On time honorcd Easter Monday Mr. Buck
stone drew up the curtain to Sherdan's comedy
Of The Rivals in which the principal novelty
was the introduction of Mr. Chippendale as Sir
Anthony Absolute, MIR. Chippendale, though
an Lnglishman by birth, has for the last seven
teen years, been a resident in America, and is
also the son Of n celebrated performer who
figured in days Of yore, when the drama was
really the vehicle for holding the mirror to
nature He is n good actor, possessing those
sterling qualities which are rarely the charac-
terlstles Of modern de5"tS. He personatcs age
without the too frequent adjunct Of burlesque
lie avoids also the imbuing of the mind with the
notion that ague Is inseparable from advanced
years, an idea which most delineators Of our
more elderly brethren would fam have US be-
AeNe, did we take note Of their constant trem-
bling from head To foot Mr., Chippcndale
eschews these absurd conventioualites, and
graPples at once with the character he is de-
hncatng, In a word, he attends to the charac-
ter instead Of the audience. In the business Of
the stage he is evidently an adept In the scene
where he advises the Captain to marry an un
seen lady, he displayed much humor, and Mt
once proved to the audience that the theatre
had at length discovered one not i'll adanted 10
tread in the path Of Mr.. Farren and the late
poor Strickland We shall be glad to see Mr.
Chlppendale in another character, in which we
augur additional satisfaction
