RS- DR.. Thorpe, of the Quarantine Station, called
upon us Saturday morning and stated that vessels
are detained at the station longer than is absolutely
necessary, even if they do arrive after sundown. The
doctor thought article of the same morning
seemed to intimate the contrary.
We make this explanation with pleasure, for we
would not knowingly do injustice to any man Off
Ger living We were also glad to learn that there is
prospect the Quarantine laws of the State will be
benefcialy changed and amended during the present
session of the Legislature. At least an effort will be
made to that end.

MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2, 1857.

CRrsP's GAIErY.-Miss Davenport concluded the
first week Of her engagement at the Gaety, Satur
day night, with far greater success than has yet
been achieved by any other star at that establishment
On that occasion, she repeated her exquisite and
thrilling performance Of IHerese in Mona Lisa
Da Vinci's Masterpiece" We have never seen the
storms Of passion-the different emotions Of love,
jealousy, abasement and repentance-more exqu-
stey portrayed than by Miss Davenport in this play
of Mona Lisa.n 81. -..' +. - r. a1.
The charms Of her acting are easily explained.
Nature has gifted her, in the first place. with fine
womanly form, full melodious voice, and face
neither beautiful nor homely-one Of those pleasant
faces which has neither coarseness to repe beauty
to allure, and in which, that account is the better
adapted to the fine portraiture Of the passions. If
she looks wicked desperate it is the reflection Of
the will, unaided by the natural expression Of the
face if she looks lovely or entcfng or touches the
heart with her pictures Of fondness and grief it is
still due to the art of the actress and not the natural
beauty of the woman. This rare command of feature
added to the perfect mastery of the voice, in
volume emphasis and information, and the gesture,
slight but appropriate and livey-s what gives Miss,
Davenport such power over the feelings and sympa,
thies Of her auditors, and establishes her supremacy
as the greatest American actress She has evidently
studied long and studied well. Better passon-pc-
lures we have never seen than in her acting.
Tonight, Miss Davenport will appear in her own
adaptation Of the great French play, Camille in
which she has performed with the greatest eclat in
the Eastern cities That she will play Camille beau
tfuy, we have not the least doubt but it is charac
ter we do not like and shall like, and regret
that Miss Davenport cannot find something better
in which to give scope to her great capabilities
The other characters will be sustained by the
members of the company who sustained Miss Heron
in that play, although, for a novelty the cast is
changed whether for the better remains to be seem
