HOLIDAY STREET THEArRE.-This evening Mr..
Sothern, the comedian, will appear at Holiday
Street Theatre as Lord Dundreary in Our An,eri-
can Cousin at Home, extravaganza written ex-
pressly for him. We have not seen the piece and
can only give the opinion of others who have
The Philadelphia Alias says of the play and the
actor:
owe are not prone to indulge in a strain of eu-
logy upon pieces that are not of purely legiti-
mate character; but in this instance we must saw
that there is more fun, real wit, humor unique ac-
tion and characteristic features in this piece than
are to be found in dozen ordinary productions of
the day. Mr.. Sothern's Lord Dundreary was the
very perfection of the art eccentric. 1t was rem
dered in manner which defies the critics art to
define. Although exaggerated character, and
having no parallel in nature, its rendition was so
quaint and humorous without being broad or bur-
lesqued beyond its 'propriety,' that it keeps the
house in one constant broad grin throug ghout
the piece"
MUslCAL.-The Beethoven Society have rarely of
fered attractive bill than that presented for
to-nighrs performance. We trust that the weather
will be such as to permit the full attendance which
these concerts merit. The best compositions of the
best masters rendered in the best style are always
to be heard at the soirees of the Beethoven. Mr..
Schneider has recovered from his ndisposition and
will be able again to give us touch of his excel.
lent quality.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF REDPATH AND JOHN BRowN,
JR.-The following from the Milledgeville CORES
pondence of the Augusta (Ga. Dispatch, January
%, is the first intelligence received of Redpaths S
party since he sailed from this port some two
months ago, ostensibly for Hayti:
"Col. A. S. Atkinson, of Camden was in the citv
day or two since, and learn from undoubted au
thority that he came to notify the Governor that
the people of the seaboard had arrested, on Cum
berlsnd Island, the notorious Redpath and the son
of John Brown, (Old Ossawatomie) who were
there attempting to carry out the new Yankee idea
OF incendiarism, MURDER robbery, insurrection and
terror.
CHE came to ask Governor Brown to allow the
prisoners to be hung, and to obtain arms for his
people.
alt will be recoected by your readers that sew.
eral days ago Boston papers announced the sailing
of suspicious craft, with John Brown and Redpath
on board, and prophesying that these devils in hu
man form would attempt to steal slaves along the
rivers and inlets and sell them in Cuba; that
funds for the enterprise had been raised in Bos-
ton. Rumors have been prevailing for some days
that suspicious craft was lowering around the
coast. There is no of the vessel since the ar
rest of the men. There may be some mistake in
this matter, but | positively know that Colonel
Atkinson left for the seaboard, taking great many
Sharp's carbines from the arsenal here.
"Governor Brown left the capitol so suddenly
that his intimate friends did not know where be
was going. He turns up in Augusta. He has or.
dered the jackson Artillery, of Macon, to the sea
board"

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF New YoRK-The New
Y ork Courier gives the statistics of the commerce
OF New York, for the month of January, and for
the seven months that have elapsed in the fiscal
year which begins July LIST, accompanied by COM
parsons with the two preceding years Their
chief feature is the vast increase in the export of
domestic produce and the changed relations of the
export and import of specie. The export of domes-
tic merchandise is three times large as in Jan
uarv, 1859, while the export of specie is but trfnp
For the seven months the following is a compari-

Thus the importation of specie for the past seven
months, exclusive of the receipts from California
are within five millions as large as the exports of
specie. The revenues from customs is falling off,
in consequence of the large proportion of goods
that are warehoused.
THE CASE OF WIN. II. RUssELL.-It was stated by
the counsel for VIM. II. Russell, (who is indicted in
connection with Goddard Bailey and Jno B. Floyd
in connection with the Indian Trust bonds as
reason for not going to trial the day before yester
day that they expected to be able to show that the
defendant had been examined touching the subject
OF the indictments before certain committee of
Congress. In case the counsel should be able to
establish this fact, they should put in the plea OF
the statute, which declares, in substance, that a
man sha not be indicted a charge about which
he has been examined. They expected to prove
this in one of two ways-either by the testimony of
member of said committee of Congress, or by the
record of the proceedings of said committee. 1t
was understood that the fraud committee declined
to say or do aught touching this point until after
they shall submit their report to the House of Rep
resentatives, feeling deicacy about exposing the
proceedings, or any portion of them, informally.
This morning the Criminal Court met for the pur-
pose of having final action upon the above case
An attempt made by the counsel on,both sides
TO come to an agreed statement of facts touching
the question above alluded to, but an agreement
could not be made, and a messenger was sent to
the Capitol for the Hon. Mr.. Morris, chairman of
the fraud committee, who expected, should be
respond to the call of defendants counsel to state
officially what was the subject upon which Russell
was interro ogated before the committee. 1t is un-
derstood that if it comes out that Russell t,as ex
amned in the committee concerning the subject for
which be is indicted, the fact will be bar to the
prosecution Washington Star of Saturday.
