The american and Commercial Advertiser ,,
yesterday morning, speaking of Miss Charlotte
Cushman, styles her ''the acknowledged queen
OF the drama, and of unapproachabe excel
lence and power as female actress" sHer
powers, he tells us, ''are unique, of character
totally different from the mass of female actresses.
ana her ability to express the ntenser passions and
10 give to the characters she represents vivid
actuallty such as few actors of the other ser have
eAhiplted. The justice of the encomium passed
upon Miss CuShmau we do not propose to discuss.
Our difficulties are altogether grammatical in their
character, and are suggested by the unusual stress
id by the editor upon the of that distinguished
lady. Actors and actresses we had heard of hut
TINS new classification of actresses, as male and
female, puzzles us. Miss Cushman. it seems. is
not only an 'actress,' but "a female actress y
Has her sex like that of Chevaer D Eon ever been
IN DOUBT that her gender should be thus doublv
dehned-or are all actresses $50 mannish grown,
that there needs adjective to indicate that ac-

up the painful uncertainty in which his language
leaves the subject, and also explain what is that
'other SEX to which ''actors' sometimes BELONG
Perhaps, the editor meant to convey criticism upop
the style OF Miss Cushman's acting, but in irving
to express himself lost his way, and said the oppo.
site OF what he intended to say. Had he spoken Of
Miss Cushman as "a male actress we should have
taken it as fgurative expression referring to the
masculine force and power with which she define

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Custom HOUSE AND PosT OFFICE ALTERATIONS
The indications now are, that after great deav
from various causes, the work of altering the Ex-
change Buildings to adapt them to our Post Office
and custom House necessities, will shortly progress
IN earnest. For some DAYS past a strong force of
workmen have been engaged in altering the first
story OF the Second street wing, (Which is ultimate
ly to be entirely removed) to afford temporary ac-
commodation to the Post Office Department during
the time occupied in altering that portion of the
main building designed for its future use. To-day,
the work of removing the extensive structure
fronting on Exchange Place, and known as the
Hotel wing, will commemorate space occupied by
which, as also the corresponding space on Second
street, now occupied by buildings extending from
the main building to the street. it is designed to en-
c,ose py an ornamental iron railing, and the en-
closure will be sodded and decorated with shade
trees. These enclosures will each contain an area
OF 40 by 20 feet and be arranged as greatly to
ad0rn these government improvements
The entire woodwork of the buildings is to be
removed, and the structure rendered fre1proof by
massive arches resting upon iron girders. The
roofing will be composed of galvanized iron SUD
ported by trussed iron frame work, upon which a
large force has, for some time past, been engaged
and the greater portion of which material is now
ready to put together. The rotunda of the build
ings will remain unchanged, except that it will be
newly decorated. The new Custom House DEPART
ment will extend across the entire front on Cav
streetmore space than is at present allotted being
needed for that branch of the government service
These alterations and improvements will be made
under the direction of the Exchange Companv
though the special superintendance of them has
years past, has had charge of the work on the Ex-
change Buildings, and who also superintended the
work upon the lighthouses upon the Chesapeake.
during the term of Col. Geo. P. Kane, as collector
of the port. The entire buildings, when improved
according to specifications agreed upon by the Ex-
