THEATRE.-H. j. Mckinley made
his appearance at the Metropolitan
Theatre on Wednesday evening, in the
costume Of Richard the Third, to a Sc
lect audience of seven. The ili-ssarred
young man put on very sparingly the
air tragique and merely informed his
hearers they could get their money back
which they Immediately did. Nc
klnle y is a pretty good reader, and is
not wi ithout other good qualifications.
He, however, does not find gentlemen
and ladies in any great profusion in this
place who are possessed of the taste
proper to appreciate him, which re-
minds one of the remark, "A prophet is
not without honor save in his own coun-
try"-Mckinley was formerly citizen
of this place.

pean tour, was not more than seventeen
years of age !-ard we put Il question
to any man who knows anything of the
capacity Of the mind of child five or
SIX years old, can child cf that age
acquire language even its mother
tongue, except to very imperfect ex-
tent Some of the idioms of our Ian
guage cannot be understood by child
of those years, and none of the beauties.
1t may be true. we think it is, that a
knowledge of the rudiments of foreign
languages, more particularly the pro-
nunciation, is desirable quite early in
life. To the child the literature of the
world is more accessible as the mind
opens and expands but the idea that it
is absolutely necessary before sixteen
years of age, or the individual may des-
pair Of the highest attainments, is alb
surd, besides discouraging to half the
classical students of the United States
could they be brought to believe it.
Mr.. FELTON,, we suggest, has not rea-
son to despise the teaching of his mas
ters, that the Greek and Latin are the
keys to the modern European tongues
His " liltle store" Of the ancient langn-
ages, should have reminded him that
4" y little learning is dangerous thing,
Drink deep, or taste not oftae Peri spring"
Perhaps had he taken deeper draughts
he might have found his masters correct.
and have been able to compete with
that companion of his, avoided the per-
plexity and confusion he experienced,
not falling into such bnngling errors i'll
addressing classical men. and might,
perhaps, have been fully equal to those
envied children five or six years old.

QUICK WORK.-In attempting to get
out the delinquent tax list in this office
on Monday last, the entire form of si1
columns of fine type was knocked int'
''pi." The accident occurred little af'
ter o'clock, P. NJ. The whole form
was reset and before the roosters crowed
the next morning copies of the printed
list were on their way over the county.
Owing to errors of haste we took time
to correct, not many of the first copies
were circulated SO early in this city
The whole edition was in circulation on
Tuesday afternoon.
For this despatch, we are largely in
debed to couple of perfect bricks"

Early in the year 1853, the papers
made their appearance in the Supre me
Court Clerks office Whence they
came and how they got there is, l am
credibly informed, as much of a mystery
to the Clerk as it is to NE.
Soon after they were discovered, and
before they had time to get warm in
their pigeon nest they were taken up
by the Men Judges Of that honorable
court, viz. Terry and Burnett-and, in
less than no time, they rendered deci-
sion preclsely ly in accordance with the de-
cision which had been rendered in the
Ihurston case, to wit, that 10 appeals
could lie upon an interlocutory motion
The iud gment of the court below was
affirmed and the cause remanGed. Judge
Field, like prudent Judge as he is,
took no part in the case, he having been
counsel for Barbour.
The alacrity manifested by majority
ofthe court, in rendering their decision,
leads me to suppose that they were
fearful the papers would again be stolen,
if it became known to outsiders that
they had been returned, and to save
themselves from annoyance they hast
ened to get them off their hands.
One important paper, very impor-
tant one, has never been returned, and
that is the bond given by Barbour for
his appearance to answer. This docu-
ment, | am informed, is still missing, or
rather was missing, in the fore part of
October last. Whether it has since been
found or not is unknown to me.
This ends the Sd and 4th acts of the
great drama. entitled The People VS.
VIM. Il Barbour The fifth and last
act | will give you next week, and will
bring my narrative of events down to
the present day. AS this article has
already assumed length much beyond
my anticipations, when l commenced it,
will reserve any comments, which
desire TO make upon the conduct of
Judge Barbour, for my next, and will
therefore, bring this communication to an
abrupt close.

- The Delinquent Tar List.-The
Union this morning published the delin-
quent list for 1858. 1t is the largest list
ever issued in this city, covering nearly
four pages of the size of the steamer
Union and is a very creditable job, For
printing it, the Union receives from the
city and county only $500. while the ac-
tual amount of cash paid out for the
work cannot be less than $500. This is

DECIMAL CURRENCY.-A correspond
ent of the New York journal of Com
merce, makes good suggestion in con-
nection with the Submarine Telegraph,
and that is, an equalization of the cur
rency in Great Britain and the United
States. The weights are identical, and
the language being the same. much fa-
cility would be given to business and a
simpllication of quototions would be the
natural result of such equalizations.-
The relative value of gold and silver is
now under going change, so that many
reasons combine to suggest the idea that
this is the time to give the great Anglo.
Saxon race, the merchants of the world
one currency. and that decimal one.

THANKSGIVING.

The origin of this festival was peculiar.
The second winter after the landing Of
the Pilgrims at Plymouth, their slender
stock of provisions was cntirel y exhaus-
ted, and the time had long elapsed dur
ing which they had expected the arrival
of a vessel from England containing
supplies. At last day was set through
out the colony for fasting and prayer.
The evening of the day before the one
appointed the vessel arrived with abun-
dant provisions and the day of fasting
was turned into one Of public thanks
giving and praise BY an intervention
of Providence, firmly believed the old
Puritans, the colony had been saved
from destruction. The anniversary of
the festival was remembered and each
succeeding year the Pilgrims and their
descendants ctm mmemorated by public
thanksgiving, by festivity and hospital
ity. this happy event in New England
history. The practice gradually extern
ded to New York Pennsylvania, Louis
lana, the West, and yesterday, on these
remote shores. almost unknown to the
old ironside Puritans, the anniversary of
their trials and joys was celebrated in
the way they originally marked out.
This simple yet beautiful custom has
charm of home about it that gives its
recurrence perpetual interest. 1t is the
season of reunions, distant friends and
relatives meet on the day at the same
board, and exchange congratulations for
the future. How meet it is that at the
decay of the year, as we stand at the
tomb of the past, when the mountains
look bare against the sky, and the trees
become thin and shadowless, and the
decadence of the year emblems the has
tening fate of mortals-how appropriate
that we call up tho holier sympathies of
OuI ltlOuCu lllc Chorus OI Olu
affections, and enj"y for a season their
harmony. While nature decays and
withers the harvest is lodged in the
granary, and plenty crowns the board.
While all is sere without the joyous in
tercourse of tried friends makes all green
and fresh within.
With the gigantic advance of our fam
lily of States, the accidents of winds and
waves. of greater or lesser supply from
other countries, cannot imperil our safe
ty as people. Such exigencies belong
to the past. But the experimenting
hand of Providence is not less exhibited
in continued national prosperity than in
averting apparent dangers. Inasinuch
as we are more favored than our fathers
so should be the degree of our thank.
fulness.

The aggregate accumulation is more
than three times as grea, as al cor
responding period of last year, when o.
vertrading had induced the banks to
curtail their discounts, and call in out
standing Indebtedness. In FIVE of the
principal banks, in the cities above emu
merated. there are over 5000, ,0OO, 900
sum greater than the amount exported
from California in four yerrs. The a.
mount in the bank of France is larger
than ever held by any bank before, and
as the discounts continue to decline, fol-
lowing the general inactivity of business
the prospect is in favor of a still greater
increase of bullion. In the United
States the accumulation of coin contin-
ues, while business languishes. The
imports are again falling off, though the
exports are somewhat improving, facts
favorable to an increase Of bank specie.
The immense sums in coin that have
been withdrawn from circulation by the
banks within the last year, account suf-
fciently for the general stagnation of
trade.
