RIsfEY,s xARIErE.

A large and brilliant company assembled at
this fashionable place of resort, last night, to
witness the performance of that universal IA
vorite, Miss Eliza Logan. Expectation, though
high, was not disappointed. Her acting, at
all times admirable, was last night exquisite.
Her voice has great power; her enunciation is
slow, distinct and emphatic. There is a charm,
an arresting power in her enunciation as strong
as it is indefnable. She deservedly ranks
high, very high, in her profession; and is des
tined to rank yet higher.
Goodall-whom to name is to praise, and
than whom no one could be greater favorite
sustained his part with his accustomed ability.
He and Miss Logan drew rapturous applause
from the audience, and were called out at the
conclusion of the play. We never saw an
audience more delighted. In the aiter-piece,
Miss Daily, the charming Miss Daily, and the
jolly and inimitable Robinson, were the prin-
cipal characters. They performed their parts
admirably.

INCREASE OF CRIME.

No observer of the course of events can
have failed to notice the increased prevalence
of crimes and disorders. The times are out
Of Joint" We see the truth Of this illustrated,
almost every day, in every part Of our extended
country. Not only does this remark apply
to our large and populous cities, but it is
equally applicable to small towns and country
neighborhoods. The last few months have
presented us with every singular form and
strange diversity Of crime husbands killed
by their wives, wives by their husbands, pa
rents by their children, and children by
their parents. Even lovers have laid on
each other the hand of violence and murder.
Sometimes the lover has killed his mistress,
sometimes the mistress her lover In one or
two instances, if we mistake not they have died
together. So many strange, unnatural crimes
have been committed, that really common
murder seems almost harmless, and stabbing,
shooting, manning, and disfguring almost vir-
tuous and exemplary. Women in mems
clothes, boys in girls apparel, faithless hus-
bands and truant wives, larcenies, burglaries,
and arson, are the mere innocent pastimes,
amusements, and entertainments of the hour.
Accidents also have greatly multiplied
Largo numbers Of human beings have been lost
at sea, many by FIRE, many by railroad disasters
In very many cases, carelessness and culpa.
BILE, almost murderous neglect have occa.
stoned these disasters. The statistics of crime
have singular charm and attraction 70,
morbid minds. To us they are most repul
sive and shocking. It is useful, however, some
times to call attention to evils that would
otherwise be permitted to increase without any
effort 10 check them.
We have been struck, in glancing over our
exchanges, with several articles on this sub
ject. One is from the Sacramento Union, and
speaks thus Of the increase OF crime in Califor
mia: at is fact which cannot be disguised, that
crime in California is rapidly on the increase

JUDGE DOUGLASS SPEECH YES
TERDAY.

At an early hour yesterday, the whole space
on the floor and in the galleries Of the Senate,
appropriated to visitors, was occupied by q
dense mass of ladies and gentlemen, who as
sembled to hear the speech Of Judge Douglas
on the Nebraska bill. There was room for
but comparatively few who attended. A large
number found it impossible to get seats or
stands, and had to leave.
The speech Of the distinguished senator was
worthy of the illustrious body to which it was
addressed, worthy Of the great occasion, and
worthy Of the speaker. 1t was able, eloquent,
manly. It was truly great speech.
