Murdoch. the Actor.

Mir. James E. Murdoch made his first ap- pearance before all English audience on Mon day evening, September 22d, at the Haymar- ket Theatre London, as Young Marabel, in the " lnconstant." The Daily News says, in speak ing of the performance:
 We cannot point to any person on the Eng fish stage who could put into the acting of the part of Young Mirabel" the a6andon, the in- So,tciance, the jollty ard, at the same time, the fullness of heart which characterised Mr. Murdoch's performance. Mr. M., who acted admirably throughout, appeared to the greatest advantage in the last scene. His astonishment when he found that the lady he had followed was decoy, and that her friends were rffiuans, was intense. His determination to meet rogue- " on its own terms, had something chivalrous in it. The manner in which he kept the ruff fans in play until he was delivered, was admi- rable. But the triumph of his acting was at the conclusion of the scene. The revulsion of feeling consequent upon the discovery that all necessity for further acting was done away with, was exqulsitely portrayed. He had been playing grand part in the presence of cut throats until this moment. He had " fooled them up to the top of their bent" But he had done 1t with a concousness that there was but moment between him and death. He was delivered, and the hystPrical joy which was manifested in his actions--no in his words was great piece of acting. The audience manifested intense sympathy with this part of the play Mr. Murdoch was called for most clamorously at the close of the play. It is i'm possible to give decided opinion upon the mer- 1t of an actor on one performance only. We are, however, inclined to believe that the au- dience was thoroughly justified in its verect with respect to MT. Murdoch.

 They all concurred in saving that they had always led virtuouS lives that they exhibited themselves as living statutes voluntarily, for the reason that they were well paid, receiving from S4 to S5 per week, according to beauty. That they would not be allowed to appear un- less clad in suit of fesh-colored tights and a thin gauge shirt, which they each had to pay four dollars for, and that Madame Warton, whose name appears on the bills, was not propretress and only model, and that she left some time ago.

WRECKs IN THE SToRM-PRoPELLER ToLE- Do FoUNDERED-FIFTY LIVES LosT.-The vessels which came into port Saturday and yes- terday nearly all bore traces of their recent bat tie with the elements. Scarcely one passed up the river that did not show in her spars, rigging or canvass, the fury of the storm; top masts, yards and booms carried away, shrouds in shreds, and canvass in tatters.
 The most distressing wreck of which we have yet learned is that of the propeller Tolc. do, Capt. Donsham, of the American Transport tation Company's Line, which foundered at her anchors at Ozaukee, (Port Washington Friday afternoon. We do not learn positively that more than two of those on board were saved out ot the nifty or sixty passengers and crew, although two others are reported saved.
 The Toledo was first class propeller, bound up with full cargo of merchandise for Mill waukee. She came to anchor of Ozaukee, and, as the storm increased, began to drag In drift ing she passed within stones throw of the north per Soon after passing this end of it she loundered As soon as her hull went un- der water the sea took her cabin off, and the waves were strewn with broken fragments, grinding and crushing the poor wretches who were thus cast upon the fury of the deep. In few minutes hot a human form was to be seen ln the waters. One seaman was lifted up on the top of wave and actually thrown upon the pier, where he landed and was saved Another was cast against pile, to which he cluug and as the wave retreated, he was assisted to climb upon the pier. Those are the only two of whose rescue we are certain.- Chicaqo De7nocrat 27M ut.

The Peace of Eurone.

The Liverpool Journal of late date says:
 The late war does not appear to have given very general satisaction; 1t was too brief for England, too long for France too humiliating for Russia, and too revolutionary for Turkey. would have liked.another tussle, and would not be greatly displeased to have another turn with the Muscovte; the Muscovite himself is eager to tell the world that he is still full of fight and refuses to abate one iot of his pretensions to assist in regulating the aff,rs of Europe The Porte denies that the allies did him any real service, and lameDts that the intercourse with the infdel disturbed the guarantee given by heaven ill favor of the rerpetuity of the true believer. The reforms are delusons, and the pretensions of the Municipalities to union and independence an outrage on the hereditary rights of the Sultan. The man of destiny" in the shadow of the Pyrenees, revolves in his mlnd, like one of Homer's heroes, what may be considered the decrees of fate, but chooses not to be explicit as to his views or intentions In this state of things it is apprehended that the peace of Europe cannot be permanent The circumstances all around give notes of diScon- tent Italy is ripe for revolt, and stands on tiptoe endeavoring to see what France and En- gland is going to do. Will they do anything?

THROWING PRoJECTILEs BY CENTRIFUGAL FoRcE.-A machine for throwing bolts and shot by centrifugal force has been invented A simple disk is set in motion by steam or horse power, so that the speed of its periphery equals the required velocity to be given to the bolts which are hurried therefron. The disk con- tinues in constant motion at its highest speed, while the bolts of any size are charged into the disk without producing any perceptible con- cussion, and fly oil at the will of the attendant by raising valve. The muzzle, which directs the prolectlles, can in few seconds be turned to any point of the compass and aimed at any angle of the horizon. The only limit of balls which can be thrown in a required time, &C., cording to this method, is the utmost rate at which they can be putinto the machine. Small balls or shot may be fed into it from hopper in continuous succession.

He eats his fine dinners and drinks hls costly wines In his little cell in the Tombs, with apparently as much gusto when he play ed the part of gra'a se,gaetr in Twenty-se- cond street; and even there the calamity that has befallen the household does not seem to press heavily upon them. There is the samo sound ot revelry by night as ill the times when he was fiouriShing in Wall street. But the re- acton cannot fail to come after the giddy ex- cltement of such life. It is sad to contem- plate the end of such a brief career of dissi- patton. The wealth which his wife supposed perhaps to be inexhaustable, will not save him from the degradation of convicts life. A young man of good address and pleasing man. ners, he might have lived a life of usefulness and honestly become wealthy, as he desired i; but he could not resist the temptation of get ting rich in hurry, and the end will be mis- erable existence in Sing Sing prison.
