NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING TONIGHT.
There will be a meeting Of the National
heague this evening, at the headquarters in
the New City Building, to which all loyal
men are invited, and addresses may be expect
cd from several gentlemen of the city. 1t is
hoped the rooms may be crowded. At the
present juncture in our national affairs, every
man should keep his armor bright, and be pre-
pared to do valient service in the cause of his
country. Those who remain at home have re-
sponsibilities imposed upon them, second in
importance to the duties devolving upon the
soldier in the Geld. The rebellion begins to
show only signs Of weakness. and Union men
should take courage, and relax none of their
efforts to cheer the heart and uphold the
hand of the soldier, by keeping the camp-lres
Of patriotism brightly burning all over the

THEATRICAL-Deering Hall. - The new
sensation drama OF "The Effects of War;"
was repeated last evening to good house.
Mr.. Langdon, Mr.. Murray, Mr.. Bidwell, Mrs.
Langdon and Miss Reynolds all made strong
impression by their correct acting. Mr.. MUIR
ray handsomely reblked a rowdyish act of a
person in the audience, he, with Mr.. Myers,
being determined TO have no demonstration
on the stage or off to which the most fastidious
could object. Mr.. Myers as Dobbs in Fami-
ly Jars" was capital.
Tonight the great historical Tragedy of
Jack Cade, by Judge Conrad, will be per-
formed by permission OF the distinguished
tragedian, Edwin Forrest, who owns the copy
right. This is play that, at this time, de-
rives considerable interest, from the fact that
1t illustrates the brief but daring career of the
Irish rebel, Jack Cade, who, in l450, raised
the standard of rebellion in the county Of
Kent, England, and marched on and captured
London, at the head of an army of 10000
men. He was successful in several battles
aud established himself in the metropolis, but
he could not control his soldiers from COM
aging the houses of the wealthy, which so
enraged the inhabitants, that an amnesty was
proposed to the army, accepted by it, and it
scattered away, pnd Jack attempted to escape
10 France, but was secured and executed. In
these days of rebellion, we ought to learn
every lesson that we can from former civil
vars Mr.. Henry Langdon appears as Ayl
mare. Mr. Nourse As Lord Say, Mrs. Anna
Ssnter Langdon as Marianne, &c. The whole
- conclude with the amusing farce of Paddy
Hiies's Boy, in which the irresistible Murray
will personate the Irishman Miles to perfec-
sion. This bill, including the Sailors Horn
pipe by Miss Leoni, and an Irish song by
Fred McAvoy, is presented for the benefit of
Harry Langdon, whose friends OF course, will
be on hand, to say nothing of the public gen.
orally. An entertainment will be given on to-
morrow Saturday afternoon and evening
The programme will be announced to-mor-
