Theatrical Criticism.

The following criticism on the acting of Mir. J. B. Roberts we take from the Cincinnati En- quirer, in which city Mr. Roberts has just filled an engagement. We regret that during the engagement of MT. R. in this city, the theatre was so poorly attended. The remarks of the Enquirer will strike those who saw Mir. R. here as being just and merited.
 WooD's THEATER-MR J. B. ROBERTS, This gentleman made his second appearance at Woods theater last night, in the great test role ot " Hamlet" lie does not look the charac- ter as thoroughly and satisfactorily as he does that ot ' Richard" in which his make ub" aud appearance are most unexceptionable, though We can not now call to mind a single representative of the melancholy Dane'' W ho reads or acts the part better. There is with MT. Roberts total absence of rant and mouth ing" which made !" Hamlet" say he had as llef the town-crler spoke his hnes;" ant yet he lS not "too tame neither'' but instills into every sentence the requisite amount of spirit, always suiting the action to the word. He IS, moreover, an original actor, and seldom fails to make the very most of language of which it IS capable.
 Any Shakspearian student will be struck, in witnessing Mr. Roberts Hamet," with the great amount of thought which has been ex- pended on every line.
 It is said of the elder Booth that he fre- qnently became so absorbed in the character of " Gloster'' as to entirely forget that he was "strutting his brief hour upon the stage," and when he cried
 "Off with his head; so mnch for Buckingham" imagined that he was giving an order which

A Prurient Taste.

When the State Rights Democrat thought it had to invent charge of our having indors ed freeSosm, which charge, though thrice cx- ploded, 1t continues to repeat, in the desperate hope of finding some one fool enough to be- leve it. So far as that question is concerned, our position was taken and known long before Mir. 'rappertit came to seek his political fortune in Arkansas.
 But, while we are glad that he can find no personal abuse and the lowest know nothing slang, yet we are sorry to see journal profess ing 10 be democratic, sink itself so low. We had hoped to show our know nothing opponent here how others might differ yet not descend to his level. We knew that Mir. Tappertit would attack us, but we hoped it would be with knightly weapons, and that he would not dismount to gather up mud and filth to throw at us.
 But in this, as in all other things, Simon made failure. In fact if he really intended to inure us he could have done so by assuming a high tone, and by preserving his self respect, obtained the respect of his readers. We notic- ed his ribaldry and the ckguardism fn his former articles, whereupon he attempts to jus tify himself by saying that he borrowed the figure of dog tapping his vomit from the Bi ble. Now there are great many passages in the good book that are, DO doubl, proper enough with their context, but that would sound vul- gar if quoted alone. And this attempt at jus tihcation of vulgarlty, by showing where it was hunted from, puts us in mind of an anecdote which has moral that Mir. Tappertit can take to heart. Shortly after the publication of hls great dictionary, Dr. Samuel Johnson was in company, when a lady present said to him: '' am slAd Doctor, that you have not inserted in your dictionary those vulgar and obscene words that are common in otherS. Indeed 1 used generally" To which the Doctor replied: |" So, madam, it appears that you have been hunting for those particular words!'
 We are glad Mir. Tappertit has turned the leaves of the Bible, but he might have made finer selection
 In his last issue, after comparing us to moun- tebank, actor, ethopean minstrel and what not, in very humorous style we suppose, or at least meant to be so, he uses another figure. The chaste and delicate allusions in the follow ing elegant extract' are worthy of him:
 As the monkey he is favorite with the juveniles though the adults are always enter taiued, especially by his wonderful feat of climb ing tall pole and exposing his folly to all the world after which he descends and, standing flat-footed on a dead level, shows it just as plainly. ( For particulars, see small bills cf tue day")
 That, we presume, is specimen not only of MT. Tappertit's ability, but, also, of his taste
 If it will not be deemed an impertne nee we would like to ask if he got that figure from his Bible?

Arkadelphia, Jan. 28, 1859.

OET A correspondent of the National Intel- ligencer tells this story about the Emperor of France:
 It was only last summer that the Emperor of France, in the free intercourse of his villa Eugenie at Biarrtz, asked if our statesmen knew that Cuba stands like detached, but al- most impregnabe fort at the very entrance of our great Gulf, controlling all communication between the eastern States and the ancient CO., lony of the Empire and our own youthful States on the Pacific. The clear, far-seeing eye of the most successful of modern statesmen appreciated fully the ncalculable value of such an instrument in the hands of European pow CTS, if they should ever be able to afford the enormous coast of war with the United States. He asked where the State papers on that sub ject might be found, and, if we mistake not, directed an application to be made to MT. Ma SOD, our minister at his court.'
