DEATH FROM BrRSs.-A beautiful young woman
named Hall, scarcely 20 years old, was admitted 10
the City Hospital on the 26th of April, suffering from
burns which she had received in consequence of her
hooped skirts taking fire. On Saturday last her ipu

day, when death terminated her suferings. friend

WALLACK'S THEATER.

Mr.. James Wallack, senior, made his first appear
ance this last night in the character Of Rienz
in Miss Mitfords tragedy of the same name. This is
the rst time this play has been produced in this city
for number of years, and the fact that il is a novelty
undoubtedly Influenced its reproduction, rather than
any belief of the controlling powers in its in
trinsic merit as drama. II is weak and
ineffective in character and in incident while
the language is tame, feeble and monOtOnous.
Depending, as it does entirely upon three or four
strong situation in the fourth and fifth acts for its
success the first part of the piece is dull and void OF
interest and drags heavily, although Mr. Wallack has
considerably curaled the first three acts, and does all
that the fine and discriminating actor possibly can
do TO invest ii with sufficient attractyeness to
command the attention Of the audience. IL mends
somewhat toward the conclusion, but the characters
claim little sympathy and few tears, and the applause
never warns into enthusiasm. The east il excellent,
and everything requisite has been done for the play
that could be accomplished by lavish manager, in
the way of dresses and scenery and in that regard
there is nothing le to ask for The character OF Ri
emf is essentially melodramac, and the same remark
will Happily to the other persons of the DRAMA as there
is in fact little in the whole play that may fairly emit
tie it to be dgnifed with the name of tragedy. Mr.
Walkck, Mrs. auckland and Mrs. lloey have the
lending parts and in such good hands they are well
done MIR. Wallack was heartily received on his first
appearance, and Mrs. Buckland, who has NOT played
before for three years, was greeted with most hearty

UNDUE IMPORTATIONS.

Somebody said, We think It was Mr. Caihoun. ~
it required great intellect to understand cad i.u-
trsts the tariff question. Our correspondents, h0'.
ever, are OF experience and learning and hriu;
much reelection to support their respective views,
Tboss who advocate high protective tariff however.
and who charge excessive importations upon ,h.
system of low duties, make sone most transpsr.us
mistakes. One fact in history seems to have bee,.
overlooked by this class Of thinkers; aud that is -
enormous amount Of importations under the compro
mise tariff of 1881, in 1856, while the dui.. OF
that tariff were still at the highest. The fact j. h"
whole business of tariff will be best regulated by
sound currency. 1t is our paper money which m.in.
ly sets every body wild with specustion-that, anG
the consequent and sure advance of labor and pro-
duce fills every channel Of trade with schemers who
look only to present gains for themselves, leaving h
certain future contraction to be borne by those nho
can least afford it. 1t we could have currency OF
gold and silver, and allow bank notes under
$20 or $50, this would go far to make economy he
cessty, and to protect industry and manuisctur.s
tom those expansions and colapses which first lit
them up to the skies only to dash them down to the
esrth, mass of undistnguishable ruins Ph,late!
