Mr.. }. E.. MURDOCH This gentleman's numer-
Gus friends IN Nashville will be glad to hear, that
during the present summer he proposes to pass two
or three weeks with us, and during his stay, will
present to notice few os his evenings with
Shakespeare and with other great lights of ancient
and modern literature.
In lIiim9re, whore these rea1ing were given
lately, We learn from the Sua newspaper that the
assembly rooms were nightly crowded and IS the
entertainment was purely an intellectual one, the
audience was composed of the elite of the city, who
continued their attendance on each succeeding
evening
We feel sure that Mr.. Murdock's success will be
very great here, the only trouble will be to find
room large enough to accommodate the numbers
that will desire to hear him.
Mr. MURCocH's LAST READING.-There is Of
fered to the audience in attendance this evening, at
the FINAL reading of the brilliant course by Mr.. Muir
doch a programme of such variety and power as
WILL with his Incompatible gifts Of execution, make
this closing entertainment eclipse, unquestionsbly,
any Dramatic and Poetic Reading that has ever been
presented TO our community. From Shakespeare
two scenes Of Impressive power, and one Of the
richest humor; from Sir Walter Scott the thrilling
deseriptic FOOf the fight between Fitz James and
Rhoderic Dhu; from Dickens, the ever-memOrabls
breach of promise trial, Blrdell PickWick; from
Byron, the sublime appeal of ancient Greece to her
degenerate children, and his noble Ole to VeEice,
so applicable to Italy in her present hour, SO full Of
the spirit Of defiance 10 oppression and of passion
ate scorn of those who weekly willingly endure it,
These classic embodimenis of mans Wisest and
bravest life ana of his happiest humor, will draw
from Mr.. Murdoch all that power Of expression
whose matchless variety claims the freedom of such
broad fields as these, and gracefully wins upon
them the instant and delighted sympathy of all his
audience.
We we're glad to notice at the reading of OthellO,
night before last that the threatening weather had
not even the slightest effect in lessenng the audi
ence. If any thing, it was larger than the first.
This quiet mode Of complimenting is strongly sig
niicsnt of the deep appreciation in which these
Readings are held by all who have once heard Mr..
Murdoch. We are sure that we express the opinion
of ali who heard him read OthellO, that it was by
far the finest performance Of the sort ever given in
Baltimore, aud that absence from the hall on that
occasion vas positive misfortune. The programme
Of TO night, by its rich variety, cannot fail to close
the course with most delightful evening, and to
make the company regret that this is the last Of the
delightful entertainments.

At CUTTERS Store, on the Franklin Turnpike,
there was large turn-OHt, Tuesday night, TO
hesr the discussion touching the tax proposed to be
levied for the n. s. n. W. r. R. Col Stevenson
opened the discussion with speech of en- hours
length in which he explained the necessity Of build
ing the road the operation of the tax and the pres
ent condition of the company. He was then fol-
lowed by Esq. Nance, who dilated upon the tax al
ready imposed by the Corporation, the Railroads.
and the County; but he acknowledged, eandidly,
that his occupation had not permitted him to study
the Question in issue With the attention which it's
inheritance demands; and that he had been misin-
Termed on some points which he had heretofore
made The balance sheet TO which he referred on
Monday night was passed over by Esq Nance with
out word; but he ampli6sd more than usual on the
supposed violation OF the charter.
Col. Stevenson had hitherto argued for the valid
ty Of the charter on general principles, and cor
,roborated his conclusion by the opinions Of the
abest lawyers in the State; but, on this occasion,
he stated that recently the Supreme Court at Jack
son has put This question Of the charters validity
at rest forever by declaring in two cases. that the
charter has not been violated

"ExTRENEs MEET."-The truth Of this saying
was fully exemplfed during the last upward trip Of
the steamer Messenger. She had among her pas
sepgers, Hon. SrIPgEN A. DOUGLAS, the distin-
ruished Illinois Senator, and one Of the smallest
men physically, in either branch Of Congress, and
the celebrated Scotch giautess, who, we believe is
over seven feet in height, and one of the tallest
women in the world. The contrast between the two,
as they moved about the boat, is said to have been
quite remarkable
