/ Never were so many Democrats seen on thcs4

rightly WHICH way to jump. The Hon. Washington
Hunt, by his eloquent and telling speech delivered

Union men of Jersey City, brought many ovsr to-
q right way of thinking. The increasing rabidness.

nagrant among TIE Black Republicans, the conees-
slons made at the Douglas Democratic State Com

men feel they are about to risk doing a great
wrong) and the awakening sense Of the allsur-
mounting duty of uational selfpreseryation are
telling every hour with greater effect in favor Of
the Union party and tfmidity alone prevents thou
sands Of politicians from openly taking this side,

The summer season at our theaters has been pros
porous beyond precedent Nfxon's equestrian
troupe at Niblos is still doing well in spite of the
detection of the greatest of circus riders James
Robinson Of late he had failed continually in his
famous summersaults on bare horseback. Marvel
GUS and ininitable as he is when himself he is, it
u said, occasionally subject to Gassios weakness.
Prof. Anderson, no longer simply wizard of the
North, but champion magician OF the world, has
descended into the Winter Garden with his Psyche
manthaim and other words and wonders equally
incomprehenshle, and mas been well received. I
heard one of his spectators say he was the devil
himself, but like Satin, his time is short, the inn
mortal Williams wants his room more than his
company. Our American Cousin y is drawing
prodigiousy at Laura Keene's. The fair Laura
is, however, eager to reassume the reins Of man
agement. Jefferson will not remain with her at
any price, being desirous of ventilatlng his talents
in other cities than this, and as he is deemed by
many to be the best American comedian, it is only
fair that he should enlarge his orbit like other dra-
matte stars. E. Eddy, who has for weeks held
Young America entranced at the New Bowery, is
going to Europe to gather laurels leaving the great
Forrest the field to himself. You will regret to
learn that one of our greatest Thespian faverites,
MIR. A. III. Davenport, met with severe accident
while driving with friend near Stamford, Conn.
Both were thrown out of the vehicle upon pile of
stones, upon which they lay insensible for some
time. Fears were at first entertained for Mr.. ID
venports life, but although it will be long he
will wholly recover from his injuries, he is his
many thousand warm friends and admirers will re-
joice to hear pronounced to be out Of mortal dan

her they deemed the bride of their beloved Hee-
J J nan, then engaged in whipping the British cham

Q, side of town just now, the quality of her reeep
g ton by her former friends might prove somewhat
u different under the present circumstances. She
Is appeared in white, made ample display of her
charms, with hair POLITICALLY disposed and tried the
pious and appealing sentimental dodge in her bills,
p but she will have to come out much stronger be-
r. fore her piety will pay.
. The practice of locking up mansions containing
= valuable property, leaving them without inmates,
0 and going into the country, does not answer in
this sinful metropolis. few nights ago the resi-
, dences of Judge Pierepont and Mr.. johnson, in.
u the Fifth Avenue, were, during the absence of
their propretors, ransacked by burglars, who, had
: they not been fortunately detected and arrested,

It profcients were working the lay' most scien-

a seven thousand dollars worth of property, when
the reyolvers of the police brought the labors Of
the gentlemen with many aliases to an abrupt and
a unweleome conclusion Our " eraeksmen'' prove
r not only men of science but of feeling, for they
robbed the dwelling house of detective McCord on
Thursday night last and destroyed his furniture
