NATIONAL THEATRE.

Tomorrow evening (Monday 20th) we are
to have the beautiful play of Gny .Iannering
at the National theatre, with most powerful
and unexceptionable cast Of character. Mrs.
Macredy, lady whose position in the profes-
sion is Of enyiable distinction where she is
known and appreciated, is engaged for short
time, and makes her FIRST appearance as Meg
Merrilies, character which she is said to
render withga power and pathos second only to
Miss Charlotte Cushman. The admirable man
ner in which the effective stage manager, Mr.
McKeon, produces all piecesssat this theatre, i
sufficient surety that the entertainment on
this occasion will be of rare and unsurpassed
merit. Go and see.

nobility. The Wednesday previous, the ladies
| and gentlemen who were TO dance the quad
rifles national, and the seasons &C., &c., as
sembled for rehearsal at the Princess Mathilde's
who had them even dressed at her hotel, where
they sent their costumes during the day. Next
Tuesday the second and grand bal costume !
takes place.. and great is the excitement Of pre-
paration at present for it. As much gaiety
as possible is to be crowded into this week, as
it is the Carnival, aud Lent comes to put an end
in some degree to dissipation next week.
~ will finish this idle letter by description
of a few new dresses saw yesterday at a, fash
ionable a,odiste's, for the especial benefit OF
your lady fashionable readers. Walking dress
of black silk, with eight founees, four OF which
were of silk, the color much in vogue, now
called "le bleu de France and frill of black
and then another of blue, around the basques,
corsage, aud sleeves, the roldntes all "pinked'
| in scollops, and flower stamped in the silk in
each scollop. This dress had also corsage
decollete for evenings. The price was three
hundred francs 1t was. simple and elegant
Eight ten, or more hounces are now rs much
worn as two and three. Another elegant style
Of robes was in stripes, so wide that two formed
one breadth of the dress. Green and black and
cerisc et noir are most approved. Then an.
other beautiful ball dress was of white silk,
with two skirts of embroidery on lace made
over blue silk lining, which gave it a charm
ing effect. Another was trimmed with fringe
made of feathers---a novelty again, which is ex-
pensivc and frail, but very pretty. Velvet robes
are entirely out Of fashion in Paris; they can
not be worn even to dinners, but only. in the
morning. They are considered too plain for o
grand toilet. I must tell you that ali essen
tial part Of lady's wardrobe is prayer.book,
bound in celoars, with, as an ornament, a richly
carved outer framework of wood or ivory, and
the leaves of prayer illuminated. 1t must cost
at least five or six hundred francs and for a
bride of distinction, the gJaeure and embellish-
ments must all be done with the pen, and cost
twelve or fifteen hundred francs or more.
Apropos of brides: our late charge d'affaires.
Mr. Sanford, is to be blest shortly with the hand
of Miss Howard, the accomplished daughter Of
Mr. Howard Of the United States; but whether
they are to be married here or in Ialy, do not
know. They are to go to Italy next month,
on the 10th of which Mr.. Sanlord's time ex-
pires.'

MISS HERON.

1t would appear, from the California papers,
that Miss Heron sustans the reputation Of her
first appearance.
The Sacramento papers of the l4th, mention
her having completed there successful en-
gagement of two weeks; and the following
extracts, from the Alta California of the l4th
and 18th February, show her reception on her
temperance at San Francisco:
"THE METRoPoLITAN.--It was no matter of
surprise to us TO find this beautiful theatre so
closely packed last evening. Indeed, it would
have surprised us had it been otherwise. The
temperance, before San Francisco audi
ence, of their particular favorite, Miss Heron,
was Of itself sufficient to draw crowd. Ro-
naeo and Juliet was the leading piece, and the
cast of characters throughout was excellent.
Mr.. Z. Booth appeared as Romeo, Mrs. Wood
ward as Lady Capulet, and Mrs. Judah as the
Nurse TO say that they were all excellent in
theirpars, is the least that can be said. Mr..
Booths Romeo was decidedly q very superior
piece Of acting. Miss Heron's Juliet was
graceful, intense, and true to the lite She
was greeted on her first appearance with the
most tremendous applause, and in the more ex-
citing portions Of the play she secured an at
tcntion and silence more eloquent than any
applause. She fully sustained the reputation
she had previously earned, and added new lau-
rels to her chaplet. The play, though it is
Shakspeares, is not of the kind that we are
specially interested in; nor do we think it SO
well adapted to the display Of Miss Heron's pc.
culiar powers, as some others in which she has
appeared. Tonight she will appear as Parhe
MIA, in Mgomar; Mr.. Ryer appearing as In
gomar.' mn
"METRoPoIr h,goD,dr was produced
last evening at this theatre, with marked sue
cess. The house, though not as full as on the
previous evening, was still an excellent one,
and gave close attention during the entire per-
forlnance Miss Heron's Parthena was very
beautiful piece Of acting, many points being
most capitally rendered. We have not space
this morning to particularize them, but we must
say that the power of look was never more
furcibly illustrated to US than on one or two oc-
casions, when she awed the rough Ingomar to
her bidding

THE CASE OF THE BLACK WARRIOR

THE CASE OF THE BLACK WARRIOR.
We are pleased to see that while some cap
tious fault-fnding journals, that can never
see aught commendable in an adversary, are
making objections to the digni6ed but decisive
message of the President in regard to the Sci
cure Of the Black Warrior, that cautious, sober,
and eminently prudent journal the National
Mtelligencer speaks Of it in terms Of cordial
approval.
Afteralluding to efforts and influences which,
it says looked to more violent and hostile de-
monstrations, it thus closes an article in its
issue Of yesterday:
"The President is, however. unmoved from
the line Of propriety by these tempting advices,
and, with tone of moderation and dignity be-
fitting his station and the delicacy of the occa-
sion, simply submits the matter 70 the national
representatives for examination and decision,
by whom, we trust, it will be treated without
passion, and without the slightest reference to
the hopes or schemes of the Cuban Junta."
There are two classes Of those few people
and journals who object to the Presidents mes
sage in regard to the outrage committed in
Havana on the Black Warrior. One class OBJ
iects on the ground that the message is not
strong enough. They wanted declaration Of
war, or what would lead to it. They forget tina,
the usual course pursued when one nation is
insulted or injured by another nation is to de-
mand reparaton. Ifthe demand is needed and
the wrong atoned for, the pacific relations be-
tween the two countries are restored
The next class object that the message is
too positive and decided. They say Spain is a
weak power, and it is pity to deal harshly
with her. They forget that her strength or her
weakness has nothing to do with the matter
Nations, whether powerful or feeble, great Oh
small, owe certain duties TO each other. They
are bound by the rules Of international comfy
as men are bound by the rules of courtesy
When they disregard these rules, it is their owl
fault. They are responsible to the injured ane
insulted nation, for their neglect and non
compliance. Nor can they plead either theil
strength or their weakness as an excuse. j
strong, prudence may restrain the injured
nation from declaration Of war; if weak
prudence should prevent the injury or insult
The President, in his message, alludes to the
fact that we have overlooked much in Spain
We have received injury after injury at hel
hands. But, averse to difficulties, We have ex
ercised much forbearance. The cup of oul
grievances is now full, and, unless ample
atonement complete reparation; be made, We
do not doubt that our government will at once
take the matter into its own hands, right OF
our wrongs, and inaict on Spain merited chas
| tisement.

TAMMANY VERSUS TABERNACLE.

A meeting of the friends and supporters of
the Nebraska bill was held at Tammany Hall,
on Thursday evening last. 1t is represented
as very large and enthusiastic meeting. The

numerous others were also read. The Herald
thus speaks of the meeting:
"An emphatic approval was given to the

pie inquiry whether or no il was expedient to
grant to the people Of this republic, in the
Territories as well as the States, the right Of

racy. We need hardly add that the answer
was affirmative and emphatic. Thousands Of
citizens, real merchants, and real mechanics,
made the hall and the passages, and the Park
itself outside, ring with applause when the res
olution endorsing the Nebraska bill was read.

ly offered 10 the public, is attracting great at
tention, not only by reason Of the very satsfac-
tory testimonials TO its efficacy which have been
volunteered by many who have been benefited by
il, but also because there are so great number
of people who are afflicted with the distressing
complaint, for which no medicine has before been
made public DR.. Eastman, who discovered the
efficacy of his remedy is physician in this
city, in high standing, with large practice. He
is physician in whom great confidence IS placed (;
and We do not wonder that his remedy Tor very
common disease, which has been so long needed,
has attracted the attention Of all sufferers from
headache who have heard Of it, From our own
knowledge Of Dr. Eastman's character and prac-
tice, we have no doubt that the medicine deserves

great benefit to all who may give il trial.

A FRAGMENT

-
0, Judith. had our lot been cast
In that remote and simple time
When, shepherd SWANS, thy fathers past
From dreary wilds and deserts vast
To Judah's happy cline; ~
Nv song upon the mountain rocks
Had echoed of thy rural charms
And had FED thy fathers focks,
o judith Of the raven locks.
To win thee to my arms.
Our tent, beside the murmur calm
or Jordan's grassy-vested shore,
Had sought the shadow of the palm,
And blessed with Gilead's holy balm
Our hospitable door As
Al falling night, or ruby dawn,
Or yellow moonlight's welcome cool,
With health and gladness we h nd drawn,
From silver fountains on the lawn,
Our pitcher trimming full. !.
How sweet 10 us nj sober hours
The bird Of Salem would have sung,
In orange or in almond bowers,
Fresh with the bloom of many flowers,
Like thee forever young
But ali, my love! thy fathers land
Presents no more spicy bloom
Nor fills with fruit the reaper's hand;
But wide its silent wilds expand
A desert and tomb.
Yet by the good and golden hours
That dawned those rosy fields among
BY lions palm-encircied towers,
By Salem's far forsaken bowers,
And ong-forgotten song
