THEATRIcAL-The character of 'Mrs. Hal
ler" in the play of the Stranger" r, was well
sustained on Tuesday night, before good an.
dence, by Miss St. Claire. She is a very toler-
able actress, and in this piece performed her
several parts well, though on the Eastern boards
we presume she would make no pretens,ons
to being ''star actress" She has fine fis.
ure, aud good voice, and her impersona,ion
of repentance and humiliation towards an ir-
jured husband, aud her meeting again with
her deserted children, was well performed, and
with marked effect '
Mr.. Ilealy, as the Stranger" did well,
though he lacked little in ready adapta-
ton to his parts. His appearance is command.
ing, and his voice good; on the whole, being a
very clever actor. - ILL h.. a.. ...-... 81 q.
In the others there was little lack of gravity
where it was most needed, with its natural &C.
compartment OF affectaton and want of ma
turalncss, but with better knowledge of the
characters they were performing, their parts
would have been very creditable. We should
not however forget Peter, difficult part, but
well performed .e
This ltinerant Starring, we may conceive,
is attended with many difficulties and embar.
easements, and not forgetting these, we should
do injustice to this Company, as we'll as to our
own convictions, not to say, they did well.

boating just now uncertain and improbable.

BgcHANAk's RELlerous CHARAc-ER.-If Satan
himself should happen to be chosen President OF
the United States, says an exchange, We have
no doubt the American Church would find par
son eager to testify that he had long been dill.
gent reader of the Scriptures, that he was pew
holder in halfa dozen churches, most deyout
worshipper, a man of unexceptionable morals,
and, if not hopefully pious, very friendly to the
clergy aud stated contributor to the funds Of
Missionary and Tract Societies. franklin Pierce
was thus endorsed by clerical editor of a re-
ligious newspaper in New Hampshire, who was
rewarded first by fat consulship and after
wards by chaplaincy in the Army or NAVY
and now Clergyman, who modestly conceals
his name, but who doubtless looks for gain te
his quarter, appears in the New York Observe,
to comfort the people with the assurance tina,
Mr.. Buchanan is no less saint than his prede
cessor. If the new President succeeds in per.
petuating the Border Rufian rule in Kansas anG
in consummating the viliany of Pierce, Dougla,
4 Co., by introducing the Territory into tn.
Union as a slave State, it will be great conso
lation to reflect that he is diligent reader o
the Bible, and a devout attendant of some pop
ular Church! Christ 10 cruci6ed by the Americl
Church in the persons of the poor aud the op
pressed, while any Barrabbas who happens /,
be exalted to power and place, finds in tha
Church men eager to pronounce him paragon

A SIGHT TO SEE.-As We wended our way
over the muddy and slippery ground which lies
between Valley, street and Division, including
both, to our dinner yesterday, we espied, just
ahead, couple Of wandering ninstrels, one
with about hundred pounds of bad music
strapped upon her back, and the other carrying
tamborine Unencumbered as we were, we
found it exceedingly difficult to make safe pas
sage of the street crossings. How could it be
expected, then, that woman with an enor-
nous hurdy- -gurdy upon her back should
be able to go through? But she did, display
ing all the heroism Of Napoleon scaling the
Alps, to say nothing about ankles. We fully
expected to see a full length daguerreotype of
Instrument and carrier, taken in mud, and sup
posed we should be compelled, by our benevo-
lence, to pry both out, and had begun to look

An ENGLISH TRA1r.-Bayard TAYLOR,

An ENGLISH TRA1r.-Bayard Taylor,
in recent letter from Europe, gives the
following amusing illustration of the sturdy
independence of John Bull. He saws:
On landing at Dieppe l had a specimen
OF English independence which contrasted
very strongly with this Gallo trait. The
night was warm, and | went into the re-
freshment room at the station to get a
bottle Of limonade gazeus. While it was
being opened, solid, middle-aged Eng
lishman standing near me said: "Do
you need more than half bottle, sir? |
want little with my brandy?" shared
it with him, and the bottle having been
paid for in advance, was moving away,
when he called after me. "How much
must pay" "Nothing," answered !;
"there was more than needed, and had
already paid for it." "Sir," said he,
fercely, 81 take nothing from nobody;
am in the habit of paying what get"
But l." l replied, "am not in the habit
Of dealing in soda WATER" and so left him;
but he Immediately called the garcon. and
satisfied his independence by paying over
the price Of half bottle.
