." ~Se
rroN."-As anticipated, the fine and
truly excellent drama of Ambition"
drew a very good and %appreciative au-
dience last evening. 1t certainly is
one Of the best conceived and most
t~hrillingly interesting plays We have
yet seen put upon that stage, and the
principal characters, with perhaps one
exception, were exceedingly we'll rem
dered. Proctor as Ethelwood was all
that could be asked, while Sue Robin
sons portrayal Of Katherine Howard,
who sacrificed her very soul on the
shrine Of ambition, was lifelike, and
showing true artistic conception and
power Of portrayal on her part we had
not given her inll credit for possess
ing. Hamil;cn's Henry VIII. could be
much improved upon; 1t was not
good; there was too much Of q monot-
onous vagabond sSmeness for so vindic-
tive and wicked a character. Caldwell
did better as Sir Anthony In Tour, and
so did Livingstone rs Cranmer. Billy
Robinson, as Morton krinkley, and
Cox, Morton, Ince, and others in their
various assumptions, did we'll. Miss

will be repeated tonight, and deserves
what II will doubtless receive-a
crowded and appreciative audience.

A Crush" NEAR HoME.-Relative
to the gold and silver quartz mines
discovered in the hills just north Of
Stockton Station, on the Overland
road, some ~ miles east Of Virginia, a
few weeks since. of which we gave
full particulars at the time, we would
state that important private informa-
ton received last evening from there
induced several parties from the Divide
to start out there early this morning.
One Of the lodges first discovered and
opened Is said to be turning out far
richer than Was at first supposed, the
ore hauled to a mill In Seven-mile
Canyon giving Unexpectedly rich re-
suits. If those mines turn out as good
as anticipated, there will be something
of a rush In that direction, sure San
Diego having turned out a fizzle, some
thing really good nearer home wonld
be acceptable.
FLAGS HALF MAsr.-The flags Of the
Gould & Curry, and the Chollar-Po-
tosi works, displayed at half mast this
morning, gave rise to = current report
that 4 miner had been killed In each of
those mines, but we a%scertained that
fortunately such was not the case. The
flags were displayed thus In token Of
the death Of General George ii.
Thomas Commander Of the Military
Department of the Pacific. Our tel
egraph brings the sad news that he
was stricken down in his office ut San
Francisco Yesterday with n fit of apo
plexy, and died at 8 o'clock last even
