terval Of compromise, of that which took place in
1853. Much loss and suffering must result to the

You viii see by the papers that the feeling Of n@s

people of she mainland. This is reasonable, for
these ISLANDS are as much Part OF Greese as the
Isle Of Wight ID a part Of England. But tie Eng
lish Government holds them in The name Of a pro-
tectorate, and cannot understand why they should

Mr.. Neafe, your American tragedian, who Gre
ated strong sensation in London last December,
is now pursuing rEost successful career in our
large provincial towns; and the principal papers
come to US from these places with very fattering
remarks upon his readton of Shakspeare;s char
acters. He has recently acted in Edinburgh; and,
although under the disadvantage of following a.
succession of such famous artists as Miss Helen
Faucet, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kean, and others,
yet his engagement has been a success; and ths
Scotsman high authority peaks of HIM in very
fatterng TERMS He is now at Glasgow, where the
same hearty reception and just appreciation is sac
corded him. The press, indeed, with remarkable
unanimity. speaks out Rest unquafedly in his
praise. We would like to him again iii London.
By this mean the theater-geing public for my
self, have not yet enjoyed that pleasure. But the
| managers of the great houses here make theiEien-
gagements far in advance, and this may rule him
out, unless he remains over the season + when,
doubt not his success will be distinguished by
unusual manifestations of favor. a. y. Il.
