MIR. Goodail-The Variete.-We are graft
fed in being authorized TO state that Mr.. w. r.
Goodall has become joint partner with Mr.. Ris-
ley in the Variete. Mr. Goodall, although young
man, has given such unmistakable evidence OF the
highest histrionic talent, that wherever he has
given his delineatons, the highest encomiums Of
the press have been showered upon him, and he
has reaped golden laurels from the public. We
congratulate Mr.. Risley on having secured his
valuable cooperation, and the theatrical public OF
Washington of this valuable permanent acces-
sion to the corps OF the Variete. We predict that
the Variete will be the greatest atractionof Wash
ng,on during the season.
The unrivalled tragedenne, Miss Eliza Logan,
will appear Evadne on tomorrow night-Mr'
Gooda as Coloma. This thrilling tragedy has
never been produced with SO superior a cast OF
principal characters as in this instance. Miss
Logan has no acknowledged superior in this
character; but OF her talents we have no need TO
speak, for she is known and appreciated through
out this country. Mr.. Chandler (another acquisi-
tion TO the Varete) will take the character of Vi
centio. @
We are gratied to learn that Miss Julia DAILY
has recovered from her late serious inlispostion
and will add her attractions 10 the amusements Of

An Old Man, residing at the navy yard, was
seen last Monday evening trudging to his home
with basket Of provisions. He had been in i'll
health, and had excited the commiseraton of his
benevolent neighbors. AT midnight he was seized
with congestive chill, but the kind attentions of
physician were of no avail, and he died, The
next day an inquest was held over his body, and
verdict rendered in accordance with the facts.
II was proposed by a gentleman in attendance
that the jurors and the Witnesses transfer their
fees TO the widow, and this was promptly and gem
erously agreed to; and thus was contributed
eighteen or twenty dollars. The poor lone @o-
man. was additionally befriended, for some ofthe
good people in that vicinity gave the body Of her
husband decent sepulture. The mere statement
of these facts suggests heart-warming COM
mentary.

The PoOr.-Several days ago, in mentioning
that the city councils had appropriated three hun
dred and fifty dollars for the relief of the poor TO
be expended under the direction of the mayor, we
remarked that, though the amount was small, it
would to some extent relieve the pressing neces-
sites Of the unfortunate suffering ones at this in
clement season. We have seen, on almost every
day. as we passed the City Hall, five or six per-
sons, women, awaiting conference with the
mayor; and we presume that at least hundred
persons have, during the last week, received
small portion of the fund benevolently set apart for
their benefit. Although we believe that there is
as little poverty here as in any other city of the
world ofequal population-pe less-yet there
is always field sufficiently wide for the exercise
of the liberal christian charity, in the way Of
pecuniary assistance.

Of the slave power, so that it shall not over
leap the constitution.
Did the Convention, then, go too far That
it did not, is satisfactorily proved, as we think,
by the fact, that each of the three parties
were equally represented on the committee,
and that committee reported resolutions, in
which the members all concurred 1t may
be proved, too, as we believe, by refrerence
to the papers, which opposed the Nebraska
outrage, of all parties, where every position
taken in the resolutions, has received edito-
rial sanction and support
If, then, the friends of impartial freedom in
Massachusetts are to be divided and their
strength thereby weakened-if portion Of
those who have, for some time past, made such
loud professions of love to freedom, shall
again range themselves in opposition to the
great Republican party of the Union, the on
ly party which can now be looked to with
any hope of its staying the dark flood which
seems ready to overwhelm us, the fault is not
with those, who, in good faith attended the
Convention and participated in its doings.
They viii be clear, while those who hold
themselves aloof, win find that they have
missed an opportunity, such as will probably
never present itself again, to place themselves
before the world as true and active supporters
of cause which has already received as much
of lip service from them as is credtable to
them, in the position they continue to occupy.
