The call for Town Meeting, at the Maryland
Institute tonight, will, it is 10 be hoped, be re-
sponded to by the people of Baltimore with all the
prompttude and earnestness which the occasion
so signally demands. The Republic is in peril
and in few short days its fate will, in all proba-
bility be decided. The dissolution of this con-
federacy may be inevitable, and the disastrous
shadow Of the approaching event may be even
now close upon US. We need not pause to depict
the dire consequences which such calamity
would bring upon our State. 1t will be time
enough when destruction has overwhelmed us to
estimate our losses it is our business now to strive
to avert the danger. 1t is not yet too late to
the Union, and Maryland should put her hand tc
the good work, and that right speedily. Her duty
is not discharged when she simply protests he1
own devotion to the Union, nor can she hope tc
accomplish any good result by persistence in such
course. In spite of her example State after
State has fallen away from the confederation
within very brief PERIOD and it is evi.
dent that unless some compromise is effected
before the fourth of March, she will see every 9th,
er State south Of the Ohio arrayed in opposition
to the present Federal Government The impas
sive attitude of Maryland has not retarded the
revolutionary movement in the South, and it has
altogether been misunderstood in the North and
she should cease TO cling to policy from which
she reaps as little honor as profit. Let her make
at least one effort in behalf of the Union and the
Constitution. If she believes that these can nc
longer be preserved, unless some such concessions
are made by the North as have been proposed by
Mr. CRIT ENDEN, she ought 10 say so. If she il
satisfied that the incoming administration, by en-.
dorsing the Chicago platform, has assumed me-
nacng and unconstitutional position, she ough
to say so. If she thinks that the North has pressed
the anti-slavery agitation too far, she ought t.
say so. If she thinks that the South has any Jus
cause of complaint against the North, she ough
to say so. She ought to defend the right and de
nounce the wrong at all hazards, and TO insist
with moderation but with irmness, upon som,
compromise which will evidence the disposition O
each section to conciliate and deal fairly by tn
other. The active efforts of Maryland may hell
to bring about some such adjustment, and it i
the object of the meeting tonight to urge upol
our citizens the necessity of taking steps to max
the influence of the State felt before it is too late
We hope that every citizen will give to its pro
ceedings his countenance and earnest support

EDWIN BOOTHS FIRST REPRESENTATION
OF RICHARD TIT

Ten or twelve years ago old Booth was PLAYING
an engagement at Chatham Street Theatre in this
city, and was announced on a certain night for
Richard ILL.,; he went to rehearsal in the morning
and gave no indication of the eccentricity which
sometimes seized him, Or Of any Discrimination to
perform in the evening. He was ill, however. and
when night fell, utterly refused to go the theatre;
his dresses were packed and put into the carriage
that awaited him, but he was obstinately immoya.
BILE. He said to his son Edwin, now the inheritor
OF his fathers fame, but then boy of sixteen who
had played only parts like Richmond in this very
play, or Laertes in Hamlet, and these but seldom
IN eddy, you must go and play Richard for me-"
The boy thought his father was Joking, but the
strange man of genius persisted and the other ge-
MUS, not knowing what ne did, or what he was 90
ing to co, got into the carriage and drove to the
theatre. he told his story, and the manager, who
knew how intractable old Booth was when he got
into his vagaries, called for J. r. Scott who some
times played part when the greater actor disap-
pointed his audience. Scott, however, refused; he
was cast for Richmond, and Richmond only would
he play. The house was crowded, the overture was
over. The manager exclaimed in despair: ssThere is
no one to play Richard but you, Edwin" "Thats
what my father sent me to do" care you up
text?") eyes" And without consulting the
youngster further, they dragged him into the
dressing-room, made him up to look as much like
his father as possible, dressed him in the paternal
garments, ESQ that he literally stepped into his
fathers shoes and wore his fathers mantle,0 and
without giving him time to think, without an
nouncing to the audience any change in the cast,
they rang up the curtain and Edwin Booth ap.
peared as Richard III. 1t was strange debut for
him to make, as a star, who has since gained so
enviable dramatic rank. The audience looked
amazed but they were used to having Booth the
elder take all sorts of liberties with them; most of
them knew who it was that filled his place, from the
having supported the father at intervals in that
theatre. They were curious to see if any of the
fire that animated the old man so wonderfully had
been transmitted. 1t was a sensation, novelty,
and they submitted. The boy went through the
piece, was applauded at times, and called out at
the close of the play. Then, indeed, he was more
than before; then he must appear in his
own person, and leave Richard Ill behind the cur
,ain. He dared not go; so Scott took him by the
hand, led him out, and SAID to the house that |
,heered so loudly, "a chip of the old block words
hat have been proven since, more than casually |
rue. And so young Booth for the first time played |

MARRIAGE BRoKER's SUIT THROWN OUT.-Eliza.
beth Schaumberg, dashing young German girl
at Rochester, DESTROYS to marry Salli, who had
fortune of $4,000 or so, negotiated with his in
innate friend Zimmerman to bring about the match
on promise of 500 in case it should be consum-
mated. An agreement was made between them to
this effect and signed, and the match being made,
Elizabeth wholly refused to remember her bargain.
She declined to pay, and Zimmerman sued her; but
the courts have decided that he cannot recover on
the note, as it was given without consideration.
To give an idea of the extensive works for the
establishment of Paris, which are to be under
taken in the course of the present year, some of

HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE.-Eagagemen OF Miss
Charlotte Cashman.-In these stirring political
times, it must have required considerable nerve on
the part OF Manager Ford to enter into liberal
engagement with Miss Cha lotte Cushman, and to
strengthen his dramatic company for the express
purpose of giving her an etfectual support For
his own sake, as we'll as in behalf of our greatest
American actress, we venture to bespeak, during
the six nights of the engagement, which commences
on next Monday evening, liberal support from
the public. Upon every character that Charlotte
Cushman undertakes to pers0nate, she leaves the
vivid impress of her genius-a genius which is at
once bold, graphic and orig inal; and we are sure
that those who have never had the opportunity of
seeing her in some of those roles in which she
stands unrivalled, have in reserve new pleasure:
whilst those who have already had that gratifca-
ton, will need no urging from us. The two re-
naming nights of this week will be agreeablv ia
ken up by MIR. Jefferson. Tonight he appears in
The Cricket on the Hearth and in Mazeppa.
