SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF MAITLAND, THE
AUTHOR.

The New York Sunday Times saws:
~, James A. Maitland, the novelist, author of 'The
Watchman," cold Doctor" Cabin Boy," sPi-
rate Doctor" 'Lawyers Story" and "Sartaroe."
has probably committed suicide. On Friday after
noon, at O'Clock, he left his house in Degraw
street, Brooklyn, in state of great excitement
Since that time nothing has been seen of him. The
following letter. addressed by him to the editor of
the New Y ork Dispatch, received by post YES
terday morning, andsuliciently explains itself:
BRooKLyN, July 80, 1858.
''MR. WILLIAMSON: Dear Sri find it impos-
sbe to sustain the accumulation of misfortune
which has 6efallen me. Long before you receive
this shall be no more You have ever been nv
friend, so has Capt. Toone, Mr.. JONES' and others;
but l have found enemies among those whom |
would year ago have trusted with nv life and
among those whom to have enemies were worse
than death.
''I shall be unseen and uncared for | hone even
If my remains are found, they will never be recog
nized, and hope that the curtain of silence will be
drawn over my many errors, since | call God to
witness that Inever wilfully wronged any human
being.
''To only one person besides yourself have l
confided the subject of my death. l wish for no
notoriety, and that it may forever be unknown.
Yours truly, JAMES A. MAITLAND"
Mr. Williamson, on receipt of the letter, dis
patched Captain Toone and other friends of Mr.
Maitland in search of him, but up to a late hour
last evening, no tidings of him had been obtained
Mr. Maitland an Englishman by birth, and
served for several years as a midshipman in the
British navy. Some years ago he came to this
country, and entered upon the profession of an
author, maintaining strict secresy to his family
relations. We believe that he was married about
two years ago to widow lady named Miller, al
though he has frequently denied the fact. He was
an accomplished classical scholar, and proficient
in the modern languages. He assduous in the
pursuit ofhis profession, the proceeds of which,
with proper economy would have enabled him in
few years to acquire competency; but he Law
ished everything upon the woman of his choice,
and in order to crafty her wishes, involved him
self pecuniariy in every direction. His death is,
doubtless attributable to the fact that his credi-
tors were becoming camorous for their dues, and
the lady for whom he had thus involved himself
had latterly manifested GOODNESS toward him.

The REMAINS OF WAsHINGToN.-The Northern
press are busy in circulating a surmise-for it is
nothing more-that Mr.. John A. Washington de-
signs, ere conveying Mount Vernon in fee to the
Ladies' Association, (when the latter shall have
paid for it, per contract, to remove from thence
the remains of the Father of his Countryl The
idea of such 'Yankee trick is worthy of its pa
ternity. Those who know John A. Washington,
Esq, of well that it is not his; but
theirs. When he takes advantage of any flaw in
the contract of sale which would legally entitle
him to remove the remains from Mount Vernon at
ter having sold the place for public purpose those
who do not know him personally may rest assured
that there will not be single honest man left in
all the nation.

Drlngs him no income to speak of and yet subjects

from the sensation press than ever before be-
slowed on private gentleman. The public seem
to feel that they have right, not only to the free
use but also the uncontrolled abuse of his property;
and because he does not fit to dedicate it Who'll
ly to the qualification of the wonder-mongers of the
hour without compensation for the pecuniary loss
to be thus devolved on him, the sensation-press

Sr. CHARLES THEATER-There was a better at
tendance last evening at the st. Charles than at any
previous performance during Miss Ayonia Jones en-
gagement. Her conception of the character Of the
womany Greek maiden-Pa ythenia-was, as q whole,
more to our liking than any we have before SEEN
There were fauts--grave faults--yet we were so well
pleased that we do not feel inclined to comment upon
them. The audience seemed quite as well satisfied
as we were, as she was frequently interrupted with
vociferous applause aud was called out at the close
OF the third act and again at the end Of the play on
each occasion her pathway the stage was carpeted
with flowers Mr.. Farren as Ingomdr, Mr.. Edwards
as Myron, and Mr.. Hind as Poiydore, deserves espe
cial mention for their excellent performances.
We are glad to see that our theatergoers appear
disposed to give Miss Jones fair hearing. She has
chosen her profession and must rely upon herself for
successthe Partially Of friends will not command
it, In her profession there Is stand still. She has
boldly taken high position, which it is not enough
for her to maintan-she must advance or recede.
There are too many aspirants crowdng the ladder of
dramatic fame for any one TO block the way; she
must advance be swept from her position by those
crowding on. If she be true to herselftrue to her
noble artwe have full faith that she will reach the
topmost round.
Tonight she appears as Epadne, and we hope will
be greeted by full house.
