HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-The reappearance

hailed with satisfaction by all who delight in lin
ished acting. Tonight she assumes the role of
Katharine, in Shakspeares play of Henry VIII.
1t is of her finest impersonations, and deserves
to attract, by reason of its great merit, a full
house. We find in the Philadelphia Bulletin, the
following discriminating notice of her characters
tics as an actress. 1t comedies to remarkable de-
gree with the opinion we took occasion to express
in issue Of Friday last. 'The strongest pccu-
ariy Of her acting, is its intensity. Her concep-
tion Of a character is always vigorous and intel
gent, and in its elaboration she has tension Of
will which enables her to sink er own identity and
to become for the time the one whom she person
ates. 1t is this rare power which gives value to
her performances, and her exquisite and thoughtful
elocuton and knowledge of stage effect are but its

It is remarkable to perceive the reetrading doc
trines which here suddenly receive practical ac-
ceptance from the two most exclusive governments
of the world The fourth article of the present
treaty provides that trade shall for the future be
maintained along the boundary thus defined free of
all duties. Yet Russia is government which, not
content with maintaining eXOrbtant rate of du-
ties along her enormous frontiers in Europe, has
also maintained four or five distinct lines of custom
houses between her Polish frontier and Moscow or
St Petersburg. Nor has China been much less il
liberal while she has been far more arrogant. Rus
sian merchants are to possess the privilege of tray
elIing in the Chinese Empire subject to the reser
walton that they are not to cOngregate in greater
number than 2O0 in the same locality. Either gov
ernment is to possess the privilege Of maintaining
Consus in the commercial cities in the territory of
the other Boards of arbitration are also to be ap-
pointed for the settlement of the commercial dis
putes of Russians trading in China and Chinese
trading in Russia; although it is to be assumed,
from the character of the latter people, that they
will rarely become domiciliated in the Russian ter
ritory.
Indeed, while careful reciprocity is in many
other instances exhibited in the concessions of the
treaty. it bears evidence for the most part of being
constructed in the interests of Russian trade. An
absolute right of extraditon is also barganed for
by the Russian authorities whenever any fugitive
from Justice takes refuge in the Chinese territory;
| MANY other conditions with regard to posts ana
couriers are also contained in this document. 80
far as the trading relations of the Russian ana Ch
nese governments are concerned, we snail pe S!"u
| tn witness the introduction OF any system whlch
80 nromote the commercial interchange oftheir
subjects: although we reserve, for the moment, a
decided opinion of the bearings of the recent terri
toria settlement made to the advantage OF the for
mer State. But an empire which stretches almost
as near 10 Pekin and J eddo as to Vienna and Ber
lin, would be formidable enough if it were not so
barren and uncivilized.

The CbarlestOn Mercury deslres that The UOVcIh-
ment should withdraw Major Anderson from Fort
Sumter, because of his being Souherner and a
slave holder. 1t says:
at is a point of honor with him to remain, un-
less the Federal Government will show more mag
nanmitv than is its character, and will voluntarily
move to relieve him. Au contraire the purpose is
TO disarm u.s. through him. But this cannot last.
The result will be tue sacrifice of brave man, at
the post of supposed duty, whose government
deliberately sacrifices him with the hope of some
small temporary profit. Why not send General
Wool who seems spelling for fight, and ought to
be indulged in consideration of his name if nothing
more. We should be more readily disposed to
,cool him than the brave Kentuckian whom they
have selected for the sacrifice. Any how, we can
