during the past week the a..tendance un-
on the Theatre has beer. better than that Of
any previous week since its opening. owing,
undouDse'.iy, to the reduction of the price
OF admission, as well as to the giving of
but three entertainments during the week.
The most interesting occurrence of the
week was the benefit of Miss Pierson, on
Saturday evening last, on which occasion
was presented the Loan of lover" and
the 4" tremendous Toodles,' - Toodles being
sustained in an admirable manner by Mr.
Mulholland. We need say nothing in
praise or commentator of the performance
Of Miss Pierson, for the deafening appla use
with which she was and always is received,
and the great quantity of boquets showered
upon her speak louder in her praise than
could our humble pen. Suffice it to say
that by her excellent presentations she has
rendered herself lasting favo rite with our
citizens.
This evening I" The Serious Family"
is announced as the leading attraction, in
which Mr.. Mulholland will sustain his in
comparable character of Capt. Murphy Ma
guire. Nr. Huntley will appear in his in
imitable character of Aminidab Sleek, and
those of our citizens who do not attend will
miss rich treat, as this play is one of the
most brilliant comedies ever written. The
rest of the characters will be sustained by
Messrs Hadley. Kayser and Smith, Mrs.
Bowlden, and Misses Pierson, Bowlden and
Wallace. paddy Miles concludes the
evenings performance.
We have. not from partiality, failed
to notice the excellent performances of Miss
Wallace. Her characters are we'll portray
ed, and prove her to possess talents which
time will fully develop.
We are pleased to learn that Saturday
night is set apart for the benefit of those
excellent and favorite artists, Mrs. and Miss
Bowlden, on which occasion will be pre-
sented the best bill yet offered. And
if we are to judge of their future by their past
excellent performances, we predict for our
citizens in the acting of this occasion rich
er treat than has ever before been offered to
them. Mrs. Bowlden is an actress of more
than ordinary ability, making . firm i'm
preston in every character she attempts,
never failing to conceive Alright the mean
ing Of the author, and portraying in an ex-
cellent manner every sort of character i'm.
aginable. Miss Rosa Bowlden we have had
occasion to speak of before as possessing
talents which must, in time, make her .
superior in her art. Her improvement is
perceptible to. and noticed by, every one.
She seems to enter into the spirit of the
play, acting her part with uncommon cor
rectness for one so short q time on the stage.
The characters heretofore given her have
been well adapted to her abilities, and in
her personation of them she has won the
encomiums of our citizens. They are deser-
wing artists, and We trust they will receive
a liberal patronage from our citizens.
We learn that the present season termi-
mates on Saturday evening.

Latest from the Kansas Mines.

LEAvENWORTH, July -.
The Times of this city has interesting
private advices by the Overland Express.
which arrived last night with Denver Cit,
dates to the Goth inst. The mines ccntin-
ued to yield we'll, and new leads we're con-
stantly being developed. A good many of
the miners had been Compelled to quit work
in consequence q the scarcity of water. A
company lad commenced the construction

Tunneling had also been commenced. A
number of new buildings were going up in
Denver City.
The Kansas Constitutional Convention
having nearly completed its labors, will
probably adjourn tomorrow.
The constitution is radically anti-slavery,
but differs from the Leavenworth instrument
inasmuch as it does not extend the privilege
of suffrage to negroes.
The State Legislature will consist of 72
Representatives and 81 Senators.
Topeka has been elected as the temporary
capital of the State-Lawrence being her
competitor. The partizans of both places
revealed considerable corruption, and one
or more of the members were implicated in
bribery.
The indications are that the ratification
of the Constitution will be vigorously op-
posed by the Democracy, as its strong meas
ures, the annexation of the Platte District,
the exclusion of free negroes, the prohibi-
tion of Banks of issue, and the preservation
of the present western boundary which in
cludes the gold region, have all been de-
feated.

The papers contain nothing additional in
regard to the basis of peace.
The discomfort resulting from Napoleon's s
hasty course was apparently on the increase.

Napoleon had arrived at St. Cloud.
The Queen of Portugal is dead.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says, that the representatives. of Aus

at Zurich to conclude the treaty of peace.
There will be no Congress of the great
powers called to ratify the treaty, the EN-
perors of France and Austria have agreed
to settle the difficulty without the interven-
tiOn of Neutral Powers.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Posts says that both the Emperors are con-
vinced that the basis of peace agreed upon
is in many respects impracticable.
The English Journals continue to ridi-
cule the terms of peace. The Post, Lord
Palmerston's organ, attacks the proceedings
at Villa Franco with some severity.
The Paris correspondent of the News
says there is q feeling of disappointment,
and even of indignation. among all who
took sincere interest in the object of the
war. The Emperor has seriously lowered

AWFUL AND Mysterious MURDER OF A
SrRANGER.-Yesterday morning, shortly
after breakfast time, some ladies who were
picking blackberries in the neighborhood of
Elmwood Cemetery, discovered the body of
a man lying in the woods to the left of the
avenue running from the fernando plank
road to the cemetery. The head was en-
tirely severed from the body, and there was
a wound on the left side of the skull which
had evidently been inflicted by blow with
some heavy instrument. The jury were
clearly of the opinion that the man had been
murdered, and. from appearances, it was
thought that he had been dead since Sunday
or Sunday night last. A number of letters
were found upon his person which went to
show that his name was JAS. White, and
that he had lived at Clarksville, Tennessee.
A time-bOok, marked ON the back NJ, G.
& L. R. Memphis, Clarksvilfe, and Lonis-
vile Railroad, was found upon his person.
A daguerreotype of a somewhat elderly
female and $14 in money were found upon
his person, and a letter written in pencil,
dated Paducah, July 9th, 1859, and ad-
dressed, "My dear, dear Liberty" in which
he stated that he was on his way to this city,
where he would remain until the lst of Au-
gust, to meet a MIR. Greer or Green, and
then proceed to Marshall, Texas. In his
letter he requested that the answer should
be directed to Memphis. A paper signed
by F. NJ. Case, Resident Engineer, Junction
Railroad. Sandusky city, was found among
his papers recommending White very high
ly as foreman for any job of graduation on
a railroad. 1t is possible that he was muir
dered for his money. The money found up
on him was slowed away in his watch fob.
The murderer might have secured the bulk
of the money, if he had more, and not taken
the time to have searched his pockets care
fully. He was dressed in very good suit
of gray cloth.-AempA;s Avolaneh.
