The number of large class vessels I'VE mean
We ssels Of from 200 TO $50 tons) now trading
out of our port is much larger than has beer
for many years, and We are pleased TO learn
that the number is still increasing. And we
haV 1t doubt, as We have heretofore re-
marked, but this number would very soon De
doubled, if not trebbled, if few thousand
dollars were expended In deeping a small por-
ton Of our channel, SO as TO make our wharyes
easy 81 access to vessels drawing from twelve
70 sixteen feet water
Rain commenced falling at an early hour
last night, and has continued TO do 80 up 10
Inc present time, consequently there is no out
door business of any moment doing
We learn from Capt Ritter, who came down
on the packet boat Argo Last night, that there
is quite a leet of boats now on their way
down, aud will doubtless reach our city some
time during 10 day We conclude from this
that the water upon the upper levels is still
improving
The returns Of this morning from the recent
elections have tended greatly to quiet tue ex.
citement which has peryaded our city for sew
eral days
We learn that Col. Thompson. who resided
near the Bridge street bridge in your city,
died last night
We had a false alarm Of FIRE about eight
O'Clock last night, causing a considerable up-
roar for awhile along the line Of Bridge street
Ii was gotten up doubtless for the purpose oF
getting out the fire engines, which were very
soon heard laundering along over the pave
ments in the direction of your city. They did
not prOceed far. however, before they returned
TO the engine house.
We learn that the pastor OF tho Methodist
Protestant Church, the Rev DR. Murray, has
announced a series OF sermons on the Eternal
World. The first Of the series will he deliv-
cred on next Sabbath evening. Subject
Mortality and Immortality
The market continues firm and active, and
prices have improved; good standard aad ex-
ira brands are held at S1aS7 % Wheat has
also advanced: good red comm ands from Sl<5

NATIONAL TBKArRR. comsdy
She Stops to Conquer" was most charm
ingIy performed last night, by the Keene
troupe. and its rendition gave high delight to
an audience, many Of which doubtless wit.
messed for the first time this fine play The
forte Of the keene troupe is undou btedly ele-
CANT comedy. Were We to suggest q fault in
the performance of last night, il would be
that the part Of &c Young MARROW" was slightly
overdOne by NJ. George Jordan; in other
words, that the bashful lover was almost too
bashful and awkward in the presence of his
mistress. However, by his afterwards CAPT.
tally enacted impotence in the scene With the
supposed bar maid, he amply demonstrated
his ability to correct the fault. In corse-
9usnce Of the regretted indisposition of Mr..
B. Johnston, the farce Of Who Speaks
First" was substituted for Il" The School for
Tigers" in which Mr.. Johnston was to have
appeared.
Tonight, on the occasion of the benefit and
last appearance Of Miss Laura Keene, a very
excellent bill is offered in the play Of /" Still
Waters Run Deep" and the brilliant farce
"a Morning Call"
"LoUDIR IA man lately won't to the
Post Office, and putting his mouth up to the
delivery box cried out, &c Louder The clerk
supposing the man to be deaf and that he was
making q request Of him to speak louder so
that be could hear, asked him in a very loud
tone the name Of the person for whom he
wanted the letter
Louder" cried the man.
"What name ?" yelled the clerk.
Louder :" again bawled the man who now
supposed the clerk to be deaf.
The clerk took long breath, and with all
his might again bawled out in the mans face
the same question, What name?' This was
done in 81 loud tone that the echo seemed to
return from the far off hills
The man started back in alarm, shouting to
the very top of his big lungs:
Louder, sir, Louder, I told you Louder
my name is nothing else.''
"Oh, ali oh, no !" said the clerk, your
name is Louder, Ell! Didn't think of that :;
here's your letter Mr. Louder, here's your
letter"
