THE PYSE CONCERT AT NIBLos.-We regret 10 learn
that the concert announced for this evening at Nblos
has been indefinitely postponed in consequence Of the
severe illness Of Miss Louisa Pyne. The effects Of re-
cent accident, aggravated doubt by the fatigue Of
her theatrical exertons, have contributed to result
which all the admirers Of this charming singer must de-
piore We happy to state, however, that her illness
is not likely to lead 10 any serious consequences
than brief suspension from her professional avoca-
ions.

wen constructed scenes, and always takes . strong
bold upon the sympathy Of the audience As pctare
Of English society II has rarely boon excelled. The
sturdy ndepsndencethe sterling honesty-the paren-
tai affection Of Job Thornbery-the hypocrisy and
bigotry Of Sir Simon Rochdale-the quiet dignity OF
Peregrne-the Hbernian garAntry and humor Of Dennis
Brusruddery, to say nothing OF other excellent por-
traits, give the play degree Of interest that will always
make it favorite one 1t gives the tone touch Of
nature that makes the whole world KIM
The chief attraction Of last nights performance was
the 6rst appearance before American audie nee Of
Mr.. H. Hall, as Dennis Brusruddery. Mr. Halls very
well known English actor He has been for twenty Ave
years at least popular comedian We presume that ne
ses,ted Of his best parts for his debut and IT, there
fore, to be judged by his performance Of It, He re-
sembes Mr.. Burton in face and figure. He, like that
eminent artist, has great power OF facial contortion
He has neat brogue and excepting that his style ia
very broad, sometimes extravagant AM that he acts
too much at the audience, he Is excellent comedian.
He made a favorable impression, and was called out
after the fall Of the curtain
We have not space for analysis OF the remainder Of
the cast The play might, however, have been done
better by the same company. Some Of the actors
not perfect in the text they should been and
the hrst act was positive drag in consequence Mr.
Burton'H Job Thornberry was Ia the main good per.
Torrance His scene with John Brown (capltally dene
by Mr.. Moore) excellent but in his great scene
with Sir Simon Rochdale he overbearing when he
should have been only firm and independent The char
acter Of Frank shabbily dressed and very badly
treated by Mr. Holman. He indifferent and is.less
throughout. Mr.. Jordan dressed and played the Hon
Tom shunietop with his usual and ability Mr.
Fisher had to preach great deal OF heavy sentiment "a

FOREIGN Observation-Disclosures will be
found some reference to proceedings taken in
this city for or by the British government for
the procuring Of recruits for the British army
A Mr.. Angus Mcdonald advertises that he is
prepared to forward men willing to serve to
Nova Scotia and q German rally appears to
be taking place in Chatham street. 1t is to be
presumed that Mr.. Angus Mcdonald and the
parties who are connected with the Chatham
street recruiting depot act in ignorance of the
law which renders any such proceedings as
theirs q misdemeanor at law and punishable un-
der the United States statute Neither the
British government nor any one on its behalf
has right to recruit soldiers within the United
States and any and all proceedings taken
with that aim fall clearly within the provision
of the statute, and call for the interference of
the District Attorney. 1t behooves Mr.. McKeon
to see that residents of New York are not
entrapped or seduced to serve in foreign armies.
The CANALs-CoHsIsTENC OF THE Who's
When we argued few months ago, that the
proposed ten million vote to complete the CO.
mails was an absurdity, both because the canals
being doomed to compete unnecessarily with
the railroads could not repay the expenditure,
and also because the money was certain to be
wasted profigately and corruptly by the Seward
wings, we were answered with great clamor
and virulence that the facts were not as we
stated them, that railroads could not compete
with canals, that wings would not waste money,
that the canals, enlarged with the ten millions,
would afford such revenue that all ether
sources Of income might safely be discarded,
and the State subsist on the profit Of It's public
works. The time has come when we may test
these predic tions. The ten millions are not all
expended, but large portion of that sum is;
and with the repairs and enlargements made,
the revenue is not only not increased, but the
expenditure calls this year for larger appro-
priation than ever. Year by year we are ex.
pending money to enlarge the canals and make
them pay; and the more we spend, the more
they cost us in repairs, collection, and so forth.
Nothing decreases hut the traffic, and that, as
we said il would, is diverted to the railways
Governor Clark is not above admitting this in
his message, wherein with consistent folly he
suggests toll on competing railways When
we said the railways would compete, Governor
Clark's friends said the thing was alb
surd, ridiculous, impossible they sing

The Board Of Aldermen were in session last even

THE LEGION OF HONOR.

Napoleon used to say-"Of all tho
orders that hare-n~er been -eresteel, s.i- s.i--
ther in ancient or modern times, there
is not one which has been of such ad-
vantage to its founders as the Legion of
Honor 1t is my handi-work, and nay
master piece No one, either now or in
future days, can dispute my right to the
glory OF founding it. I am indebted to
it for half my victories. Napoleon
stated what was perfectly true The
hope of obtaining the cross has been the
parent Of incredible acts of valor, many
of which are still unknown to the world.
Here is one amongst others, which a
chef descadr0n used to take particular
delight in relating: In the course of
the night which preceded the battle of
Austerlitz, one of my Brigadiers wager
ed his watch with one of his comrades
that he would gain the Cross of Honor
the following day. In fact, in a bril-
liant charge against superior force, he
penetrated the enemy's squadrons, killed
five men with his own hand, and carried
off standard He was covered with
blood, especially on his face, the only
visible part of which was his eyes. As
he was returning to his regiment the
emperor met him and said-"You have
done enough for once, my friend, Go
and Iget Syour wounds dressed. The
brigadier, wiping his face with the flag
he had captured, replied to the emper-
or ''I am not wounded at all sire
1t is not my blood which you see, but
that of your enemies Napoleon, de-
lighted at the answer, said ~ make
you marshal czes AOgis (quartermaster,)
and confer upon you the Cross of Hon
or. The most singular Circumstance
in this affair is, that at the moment
when the brigadier was thus recompen-
sed, the comrade with whom he had bet
ted his watch, arrived, wounded by a
pistol shot, which had been fred at him
by general officer, whom he brought as
prisoner, and whom he presented to the
Emperor. "Another Cross of Honor! y
said Napoleon laughing. IF things
go on in this way L shall either have to
SUPPRESS the order, or to decorate the
whole of the army.

soldiers and sailors to have undisputed

soldiers and sailors to have undisputed
sway of the town.
A few days since, hearing an unusual
noise beneath my windows, which over
look the Rue de Pers, the principal
street here, went to ascertain the cause,
and saw two French engaged in mortal
conflict with three Turkish soldiers
The Frechmen had drawn the small Ro-
man swords which they usually wear,
and was fercely attacking the Turks,
who were unarmed As might be ex-
pected, conflict so unequal was of
but short duration. One poor Turk
fell with his. adversary's sword driven
through him; while the second only re-
sisted few moments longer to receive
greater number, yet not more fatal
wounds than his comrade. The third
escaped with his life, though terribly
cut, and the street was covered with
blood. This occurred about five o'clock
in the principal thoroughfare Of the city,
filled with people A Turkish guard Of
soldiers were brought down and arrested
the Frenchmen ; whether they have been
punished I have not yet heard.
I learn that, owing to this outrageous
state of affairs, one thousand English,
one thousand French and two thousand
Turkish soldiers have been detailed to
patrol the streets night and day.
Great misery exists among the poor of
Constantinoplc. Bread, their only food
has risen to such price as to be almost
beyond their reach, and fuel has become
so dear that they are obliged to do
without it, though the weather is very
cold. There is no prospect of relief,
but, on the contrary, things are growing
worse, and should the winter prove a
rigorous one, their fate will indeed be
sad.
Admiral Dundas, who has been su-
perseded by Rear Admiral Lyons in the
command of the English fleet in the
Black Sea, and Vice Admiral Hamelin,
who has been created an Admiral and
had resigned the command of the French
squadron to Vice Admiral Bruab, left
here few days since for their respect
i've countries.
The latest accounts from Asia repre-
sant the Russian army about making
some important move. Orders had ar
rived for the detached corps to concen-
trate as rapidly as possible at Bajazio,
and then to move upon Erivan, ne doubt
for the purpose of making some ofen-
siVe movement upon the Turkish terri
tories.

CHARACTER OF DANroN..

His person and his eloquence were i'm
keeping with his mind and character.
We figure him always after the pattern
of Bethlehem Gaber, as Goodwin de-
seribes him: his stature gigantic, his.
hair a dead black, a face in which sa-.
gacity and fury struggle for the maste-
-ry-a voice of thunder His nero fig
ure might have saved the utterance Of
his watchword-" We must put our en-
emies in fear" His face was itself q
/" Reign of Terror His eloquenca
was not of the intellectual, nor of the.
rhetorical cast It was not labored with
care, nor moulded by art. 1t was the.
full, gushing utterance of mind seeing
the real merits of the case IN glare Of
vision, and announcing them in tone
of absolute assurance. He did not in.
-dulge in long arguments or elaborate
declamations. His speeches were Cy-s
clopean cries, at the sight Of the truth
breaking, like the sun, on his mind
Each speech was peroration. His inn.
agination was fertile, ragged and grand.
Terrible truth was sheathed in terrible
figure. Each thought leaped into light,
like Minerva, armed with bristling i'm
agery. Danton was true poet, and
some of his sentences are the strongest
and most characteristics utteranee amid
all the wild eloquence the revolution.
produced. His curses are of the street,
not of Paris. but of Pandemonium his
blasphemies were sublime as those heard
in the trance of Sicilian seer, belehed
up from fallen giants through the smoke
of Etna, or like those which made the
q burning mari u and the fery gulf I"
quake and reeoil in fear Such an ex-
traordinary being was Dantop. Ihele L
