Broadway THEATER.-Lsst night was revived the
spectacle drama, founded upon Bulwers novel Of the
Last Dayn of Pompe. This play is well known to old
New York theater goers, it having been produced a
number OF years ago at the Bowery at which time the
late Thomas S. Hambln made sensation as Arbsce'.
The Egyptian Soroerer was last night played by Mr..
II. Lorraine and upon his personation we cannot oon-
scientously bestow word Of praise. He was hard.
demonsiIative and spssmodc to degree.
OF different style was the performance Of Mrs.
Lizzie Weston Davenport: AZ Eydia the blind flower
girl, che appeared TO excellent advantage, and looked
and acted the part to admiration. None Of the other
performers achieved Immortality by their efforts 10
render their various characters effectively.
The scenery is not particularly good, and the eject
Of the last great display sadly msred BY the H.

there is a very decided improvement in future sveo-
pgs cannot predict very long continuance Of the

The Herald publishes what il represents as ex-
tracts of letters written by General Henningsen,
dated Riyas March 10, and addressed to certain
persons in this city who do not, however, choose to
Give their psmes-wheiher because they are ashamed
Ofther correspondent, or because they do not wish
to be known as attempting to palm Oft gross de-
ception on the public, remains to be seen.
Our impression with respect to these letters il
this: That they arc old letters of Henninssen, in
relation to some of the battles in which he was con-
cerned some two or three months ago, of which the
dates have been altered purpose to impose on the
easy c,eeulity of The Herald and the public. We
recolect very we'll that Hennngsen annexed to his
Letters written at that time list of the killed and
wound Of, which he put down at about fifty, the
same lumber mentioned in this letter; while the
loss of four hundred on the part of the allies is just
about tie same number mentioned by Henningsen
AT that time, though il proved afterward great ex-
aggeration.
So far IRON any letters and dispatches of Hen
ningsen ha7ing been stolen on the way by ntrguers
which is ridiculous suggestion, as all the
officers Of the steamers are strongly in the Fil-
6bnster nterest--we have but little doubt that
the pretended correspondents of Gen. Henungsen
are engaged in an intrigue TO impose upon the pub
lie and to dupe TIE Herald, which has unsdy sedly
suffered Itself to be again made the Instruments
has happened too often to that journal-for puffins
an exploded concern.
The xtracts given from Henningsen letters, even
If they arc to be taken as geaulne aud as truly
dated, are rot as it seems to u.s. of character 70
afford UGH satisfaction to lis correspondents The
only precise piece of information given is that the
number Of Walkers killed and wounded does not
exceed 6ay. This, out of total effective force OF
three hundred, is pretty severe, and vastly more
serious ~ Walker than a lOss Of four hundred to
the alles.
II there has been any puvloinng Of letters at all
we suspect it was done by the Costa Ricans, who
interrupted the messengers on their way to San
Juan del Sur. The ncapscity to keep up a CON-
muncs,i with the coas. does not look like driving
the Costa Ricans out Of the country.

O APRIL rain, that with the first gray dawn
Now first hear upon my window fall, (recall,
What sights, what sounds. what struggles you
While the strong South drives up the weeping morn
So when wept, with no inhuman scorn
You joined your silver sympathy, and all
The darkness round me folded like pail,
Changed to id-day Of Stygsn midnight born.
O scatter now sweet rain as you did then,
This Winter of my WEAKNESS and wrong
Wherein stumble IN the ways of men,
And pine for life and beauty, strength and song
Beat. welcome showers for well l know ere long

We learn from Albany that the "slight amend

Brooks and Petty, the American majority of
the Committee who fought SO hard for possession OF
the Charter after its reference in the Senate, are in
reality emasculations Of some of the best reforms.
The House bill cut of pay from the Aldermen,
made ore Cficer Receiver Of all Taxes and Assess

amendments he has restored the collection of as
