In this city. AT an early hour yesterday morning,
the notorious Archy McAeese was shot by the not
less notorious Erasmus Levy, and is since dead of
his wounds. The particulars of the affair we pub
lish in another column; and as the Levy family
appear to have taken out license to shoot and
XIII within the corporate limits, it is some consola-
ton to observe that in the present instance the
exercise of their sportsmanlike propensities has
resulted in the shooting, not of an innocent unof-
Tending citizen like Imhoff or Brown but of a
fellow of whom the best that can be said is that he
was no worse than themselves. 1t is also observa-
BILE, that for this fresh deed of blood as well as for
many others, Mr.. States Attorney Whitney is in
some measure responsible, SINCE if that functionary
had performed his duty with zeal and fidelity, this
case of homicide could never have occurred, mas
much as both the slayer and the slain would, at
the present time, have been occupying apartments
in the State Penitentiary.

HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-The patriotic drama
OF "Jessie Brown, or the Relief of Lucknow" was
the chief entertainment at this establishment last
night and will be repeated this evening. This drama
Is founded on a well known incident in the recent
struggle between the English forces and the Indian
Sepoys, which has been wrought into play of STIR
ring interest. The piece is we'll calculated to dis
play the peculiar powers of Miss Maggie Mitchell,
who personates with marked effect the part of the
heroine, Jessie Brown 1t is produced with all the
auxiaries OF appropriate scenery and proper stage
effects and cannot fail to prove source of great
attraction. The excellent comedy of ''Charles the
Second" will succeed the play, Mr.. Charles Bass
appearing as Captain Copp. In the rendition o
this character Mr.. Bass is unsurpassed, and we adj
wise all who are fond of witnessing capital actor
and capital piece to be present.
