| The Draytons, whose entertainments in this ci y
last Fall must be well remembered the othe day az
tempted TO give performances in Boston at the Meo
deon room adjoining the Boston Theater. The pro-
prieors Of this latter institution with whom business
to be dali this ason prayed the Sdpreme Court
TO place an injunction the entertainment. The
Chief Justice, after hearing evidence decided that
whet er a performance is theat cal does not depend
upon the place where il is held, the number of the
paris or change of scene. There are dramatic exhi.
bitions where there il not than person per-
form. This then, is either concert or a dramatic
tibtOn. concert as we understand Il, and as we
are accustomed TO see them is when persons congTs
gate to hear songs perhaps sung bypersons 10 their
binary dress That certainly is not the nature Of this
entertainment Here is story to be illustrated and
moral 10 be worked out by monologue, dialogue and
muc, aud 10 say it is not theatrical because sceuc
change not added is contrary to common under
standing. In each of these plays story is illustrated
and moral ncucaed. Taking, therefore, the testi-
moDy OF Mr. Drayton. that th entertainment is pro
duced by assuming different characters, acting their
paris, thereby illustrating story aud enforcing
moral it does come within the meaning of the
atIcal exhibition prohibited by the clause. TIE inunc-
ton canpot, therefore, be dissolved.
An Eastern correspondent of The Boston VrareRsr
gives statement Of the manner in which the "Jai'a
outrage" has been settled. 1t wi he remembered
that in January of 1859 an agricultural Missionary
named Dixon, resided in the garden some dis
lance from JaGa, in a very dangerous aud exposed
plae bis daughters were daily in the habit Of seeing
converting with the Arabs of the vicinity and one
nj hit the house was attacked and broken open, the
women were outraged and in the melee the husband
of tue eldest daughter, Prussian named S,einbeck
was killed the property was stolen, and the family
ruined. After many attempts 10 secure the real GRIM
mails the Consu Of Jerusalem only succeeded ia ar
resting parties desgnedly put forward by the auhoI-
tee TO screen the guilty. The Il ialy trans
feIred TO the Consul at Beyrou! who ferreted out
the guilty parties, and brought four Of them 10
trial, SID secured their conviction. They were con
demped by the Porte to hard labor for lie at Acre
and about five thousand piaserS or 5000 indemnity
offered for their losses. Tbis ndemnty aud YER
diet Mr.. Conrul johnson refused to receive as sails
factory, and Col Williams, our Embassador at the
Porte protested against such inadequate punish
ment. The case was finally adjourned over until the
murderer of the Prusfi5n, Mr. Stoubeck might be ar.
rested. Time sufficient having elspaed to show the
impos ibiy Of arres a black slave who had escaped
TO the Bedouns in the interior justice has finally been
accorded and another verdict has been given at the de-
mapd Of the American h)rities in Turkey The last
and final verdict was 10 the following effect:
Fist: The unsnested criminal when taken for the
accomplishment Of which 10 efforts will be spared To

ball hereafter be regarded as neriting DEATH in which
case they will bs executed
ThUd: An indemnity OF 80 500 10 the family Of Mr.
Dixon and the widow Of Mr.. Steinbeck.
-" Lalla Rookh, quite celebrated female elephant
attached to Western circus, died 10 Indians a few
days ago. Her disease was lung fever Her character
was good and the was called Jenny in private life.
We learn from an English paper that another of
the Princess Mays mad suors has been pleced under
restraint. This unfortunate gentleman il Mr. Mich
els, who a shipowner, Lad sustained a series Of
msfortunes, which appear to have deprived him Of rea
son. HE Authorizations were of the most extraori
nary ohaacer and chief among them was tue delueion
that the Princess Mary Of Cambridge was violently in
love with him. He had written her letters, and sent
her presents, and when wsrned by the police to aJan
don this form Of persecution he adopted the course Of
following her about wheneyerfhe appeared in public.
"A dasbirg French Colonel and an equally dasbuo
