Her Britannia Majesty's screw-steamer Curacao,
Captain MASON, anchored off Annapolis Roads,
about halfpast ten on Wednesday night, having
on board Lord LYONS, the successor of Lord Ma
PIER in the British Embassy at Washington. We
are gratfed to be able to state, that the delay in
the arrival of the Curacoa, which had begun to be
matter of considerable uneasiness, has not been
the result of accident or bad weather. On the
contrary, her cruise is spoken of as having been
unusually pleasant, and its long continuance has
been caused by her stay at Madeira, as we'll as at
Bermuda, and, we believe, other of the British
Islands.
The Curacao boarded early yesterday
morning, by Lord NAPIER, who had been awaiting
her arrival for time, at Annapolis, with his
family. 1t is rumored that she will probably go
up at once to Washington, but this we believe,
has not been yet determined on. Lord LYONS
landed early in the afternoon, in steam-tug, at
the Naval Academy where he was received with
his suite and entertained by Captain BLAKE, the
Commander of the Yard. He proceeded to Wash
ington with Lord NAPIER, in the afternoon train
SaIutes were interchanged between the Curacao
and the Naval Academy. The ship carries thirty
one guns and as seen from the Yard, and from
the elevated portions of the city, presents an at
tractive object in the ofng. She lies at distance
of about four miles from the landing.

SENIOR VALIENTE.

The play of Senor Falie,te, which was pro-
duced on Wednesday evening last, at the Holiday
Street Theatre, apart from the occasional drag
which is incidental to every first presentation of
new piece, gave unqualified satisfaction to the
large and intelligent auditory with which the
Theatre crowded. 1t was, in point of fact, a
decided success. That it well put upon the
stages that the scenery painted for this special &C.
casion, reflects great credit upon Mr.. GErz; that
the dresses, wherever the author has given touch
of fancy to his creations, and appropri-
ate and that all the accessories in good keep
ing, may readily be conceived by those who know
anything of the interest which Manager FoRD has
taken in bringing out the piece in the best
manner. We expressed some weeks ago our
opinion concerning the literary merits of Senior
VaRente, and the rank in the acting Drama which
1t is entitled to take. Wewl not, therefore, pause,
at this time, to reproduce analysis of the plot
to comment upon the distinction that we drew be-
tween comedy proper and that mixed species of play
which colors the elements of comedy with melo-
dramatic touches. We pronounced Senior Valients
good acting play, and it is sufficient to say that

INVASION OF CopYRIGRT.-We learn from para
graph in the Boston Courier that the publishers o.
an English edition of Shakespeare, illustrated by
Kenny Meadows, recently added supplement to
that edition, of about one hundred and seventy
five pages, consisting entirely of matter taken from
MIR. Richard Grant Whites Shakespearian works
and credited it to him in the most ostentatious
manner. An invoice of this Shakespeare having
been sent to this country, with Mr.. Whites Notes
and Essays left as part of it, Inadvertently, 1t
would seem,) the invasion of copyright was soon
discovered, and the whole invoice had to be with
drawn from the market and the copyright matter
cancelled This is the first time that the writings
of an American author upon Shakespeare have been
thought to add value to an English edition of the
great poets works. The Courier adds that Mr.
Whites text has been more or less used for other
English editions; and intimates, doubtless by au-
thorty from Mr.. Whites publishers, (Messrs. Lit
the copyright in the original emendations of the
text as we'll as for that in the Notes and Essays Of
his edition, will be rigidly insisted on.

with some few exceptions, which we may hereaf-
ter make note of-was admirably sustained by
Mrs. GLADsTANE; while Mrs. DAILY personated the

unusual spirit and effect. Mr.. WALLAcKs
Senior Valiente, the discarded lover of
Nell Carerly, the hero of Chepultepec, and the
supposed Mexican millionaire was fine piece of
acting, though differing in some respects from the
conception of the author. Essentially, the charac-
ter of Pdliente is unquestonably melodramatc,
but there occasional transitions as in the in
terviews with Henry and Lille Clinton, and in
certain parts of the ballroom scene, which lift it
into the region of pure comedy. Mr.. WALLAcK's

characteristic was profound gloom. A few CLEANS

A petition, signed by some of the largest property
holders in Baltimore has been presented in the First
Branch of the City Council, by Mr.. MONTAGUE,
reciting that it has become customary for the Au-
ditor and Collector when either of them offers for
sale lot taken in execution for arrears of tax to
sell, not merely the estate of the lesSee-when
there is one, but the fee simple of the ground, and
by this means destroy the estate of the landlord
The 'ground rent has always BEN regarded rs the
sheet anchor among our securities. 1t is mode
of investment heretofore considered so secure as
stand at the head of the list in the estimation Of
the most prudent, in making provision for in
fancy, womanhood, or old age. 1t is well known,
that in leases for ninetynine years renewable, the
lessee always covenants to pay call taxes public
dues, }" &C., &c, that the property is assessed TO
him, or ought to be- and that the tax-bills are or
ought to be- made out in his name. One of the
grievances set forth in the petition is that in the
cases where the fee has been sold, there has been
no notice whatever to the landlord, who has
been surprised, on demanding his ground rent,
to find himself estopped by deed in fee
from the city to the party in possession.
Why there should be any departure from the usual
course of dstraining the goods the premises, or
failing such, why the whole estate of the lessee
therein should not be exhausted before having re-
course to the fee is what we cannot understand
1t is an unmtgated evil that taxes should be per-
mited to accumulate on any lot to an extent
which cannot be readily met by sale of the NOV
ables at all events of the improvements, unless
the ground has been so burdened with taxes as to
render the buildings upon it worthless-a thing
which, of course, is possible, though not very like
ly to happen. Still, the officers of the city ought
not to be permitted to resort to their rem
edy against the fee, until all other recourse is ex
hausted. We again invoke the attention of th
community to the Importance of having Il shor
limit to the period within which taxes should b,
collectable. In our Judgment, a law which should
allow one year for voluntary payment of taxes
and six months for their enforcement, would b,
equally efficient as measure of finance, and desi
rable on the score of justice and humanity. II
allow arrears to accumulate ON any pretext what
ever, is TO open the door to evils which
we are now suffering-and one of which il
the subject matter of this petition. A limit O
eighteen months, or two years at most, to the col
lection of public dues of all kinds, would cut W
by the roots a whole crop of noxious abuses
