rowed Mrs. Centlivres comedy OF Yi' Won is- or
Woman Keeps Secret, which Ia an adaptation OF
Caderon's Before al Ny Lady, COlley Cbber's She
Would and she Would Not, and the very elegant
piece adapted from the Disdoin Met with Disia'n
of Moreto, which Mrs. Bowers performs uuder
the title OF LoUes Masquerade, are examples OF the
style OF play we refer to- Beside the internal eyi-
dences OF the play ITSELF suspicion that the plot
is taken from the Spanish is increased by the fact
that there is comedy by Caderon entitled The
House WITH Ttco Doors, and Mr. Waack may very
well have obtained his plot from the same source
that he did his title. So far from finding fault with
MI. Wallack, or any other gentleman OF taste for
what appears to be an act OF literary highwayman-
ship, we sincerely wish, it seems to be inn
possible for us to get good new plays except
by means Of adaptations, that others would
follow his example. There are hundreds OF
standard Spanish comedies that are far better worth
transplantng to the English and American stage than
the majority of the French pieces that are adapted
by idealess English dramatists year after year. They
have no strongly indivdualiZed characters like the
best works of the standard English dramatists but
they invariably have ingenious and entertaining
plots, and almost Invariably decent in idea
language, and situation, and the OF the plays
above named is assurance that they would bs
appreciated by the public.
Whether the particular piece upon which Mr.
WaacK has labored has been improved or not by
his attempts to adapt it to the locality OF New York.
we do not pretend to say 1t is at least something
out OF the common routine, and however much he
may indebted to some other writer, Mr.. Waack has
evidently thrown in considerable of the spice Of his
own and Central Park if lacks dignity, than
compensates for the deficiency by its laughter in
sphing qualities None of the characters call for
any very extraordinary display of ability, and it
sufficient say that they are all credItaby sustained
The cast is as follows:-"Mrs. Kerr Flamberry"
Mrs. Drew; 'Wyndham Otls Esq :" Mr.. Barton
Hill; "Mr. Kerr Flamberry," Mr.. Mackay; ''Mr.
Myrtle" Mr.. Wallis; "IIamy Dunsford," Mr..
Myrtle" Miss Price; Bridget Toogan, =" Mrs.
Maeder, and "Mittens," Miss May Clare
The piece is hands omey placed upon the stage,
with new and elegant scenery by Messrs. Haw-
thorne and Fetters.

The only additional arrival up to
a late hour last night was the Morn
ing Star, Louisville and return. West
Wind, for Wabash River; Ollie Sulli-
van, for Eastport; Sam. Orr. for Cairo !;
Lewellin, for Memphis, and Mallie
Ragon, for Nashville, departed.
The packets, except the West Wind,
had extraordinarily big trips.........
The Ollie Sullivan and Lewellin we're
literally crowded with freight, and the
Orr was full of freight and people......
The Mallie Ragon. though not as full
as she could have been slowed, re-
ceived a most encouraging start. She
has great carrying capacity, and will
carry almost 300 hogsheads tobacco.
The closer she is inspected the more
she is admired. Her cabin appoint
ments are equal to any of the best
side wheel boats. She has a splen-
did carpet, furnished by w. E.
French & Co, and handsome furni-
ture. by Fred. Geiger. The painting
and granting, by Frank. Rogers, is an
excellent job. The latter is by Robt.
j. MeGrew, and is in his best
style. Thomas Scaptlin & Co.. did a
large portion of the sheet iron work,
which is a guarantee that it is a good
job. Altogether, the Mallie Ragon
reflects credit on her builders and
owners, and is worthy the admiration
and liberal patronage of our people.
A movement is on foot to organize a
joint stock company, to build first
class steamboat. of 1000 to 1000
tons burden, to run as a regular
packet between this city and
New Orleans. This is movement in
the right direction, and we hope it
will be prosecuted with vigor. There
is no reason that Evansville should
be dependent on Louisville for tom
mage, and left to the tender mercies
of boats that have no interest here
except when freights are scarce else
where........The Morning Star had a
good trip of freight and people down,
last evening.........Lewis Mccoy has
taken the position of second
clerk on the Sam Orr, and will
fill it most eficiently......One item of
the Mallie Ragon's freight last night
was 400 bales of cotton. She had
in addition a vast amount of miscella-
neous freight. Miss Mallie Ragon
for whom the boat was named, went
on board and presented the boat a
magnificent family bible, bearing a
suitable inscription, and to Capt. j.
V. Throop. an exquisite bouquet of
rare and fragrant flowers. Col. p.
Hornbrook, Surveyor of Customs. pre-
scented the boat with a splendid
United States flag of real bunting,
and upon her return it is understood
he will add an elegant streamer for
her jackstaf. Captain Throop has
done much for the commerce of
Evansville, and deserves the most
liberal patronage of eur people.........
The Alaska, from New Orleans to
Cincinnati, and the Virginia. for
Louisville, will be up to, day.........

a ten dollar bill to back his offer.
Considerable boasting was INDUCED

REcoRDER's. CoURT.-Bernard Lii
herman is opposed to the Fifteenth
Amendment, so is Mr.. Weber, his
blind tenant. Bernard, no doubt,
thinks that negro tenants have no
rights that white landlords are bound
torespect, for on Tuesday night invad-
ed the residence of Ed. Taylor, color
ed tenant of his, during the celebration
of the wedding of Mrs. Taylor's son,
and shaking his fist in Mrs. Taylor's
face, called her disorderly woman,
stormed fearfully. saying she kept a
disorderly house, and threatened to
put her and her assembled guests out
of doors.
When the first witness had finished
testifying, Mr.. Liberman asked if he
might question her, and learning that
he might, asked:
Dit 1 told you you wasn't decent
vommin2"
The woman answered, Yes"
Den you liel" shouted Bernard.
The Recorder reproved him, and
asked if he had any witnesses. "Oh
yes, I got plenty enough; :" and he in
troduced the blind man, Weber, who
in very broken English, testified that
he lived next to the Taylor family,
and they jumped and " hollered, "
and he jumped and "hollered to
illustrate how it was done. His wife
testified that she didn't know any
thing about it.
Then out rushed Mr.. Liberman
and brought in a venerable colored
man who confirmed the testimony for
the prosecution.
The court administered piece of
good advice to Bernard, which that
gentleman frequently interrupted by
arguments which were unavailing,
for he was fined SO 55.
As soon as the judgment was an
nounced the blind witness arose and
delivered himself as follows:
Now you see I wantsum dat nicker
he mus glib sekoority on de court he
keep shtill. He maken noise as 1
not kin shten it more. I got citi-
zen IN want peace, I'm l go on de
Kren Shoory Court. 1 lot i'm tell it.
Oats all.
T. S. Kessinger and Foster Jones,
for fast driving. paid $3.50 each. The
Recorder made the fines rather light
in consideration of the plea that the
defendants did not know it was
against the law.
A man named Bradley was arrested
on charge of receiving stolen sacks
Mr.. Bradley said he had bought the
sacks from boys, who had given a
plausible account of how they came
in possession of them. He acknowl.
edged that it was lax way of doing
business; said he would scrutinize
more carefully in future, and return
the sacks to Humphrey Lewis & Co.,
who claimed them. On these repre-
sensations he was dismissed.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY
young men of this city, have, for
some time, been paying attention p"
to the same young lady, and from all
that can be gathered, with apparently
about even chances of success. One
day last week, one of them seemed to
have got so far the start, as to feel
warranted in taking out license to
marry the object of his attentions.
Accordingly, Saturday morning S
JOURNAL, containing the list of IL
censes, had the names of this loving
couple to conclude the list with.
Thus far all was we'll, but on Tues
day evening the other sutton for the
lady's hand invited friend to accom-
pany him to the weddIng-saying. as
If to explain his authority for extend
ing the invitation, There will be no
gedding if we are not there"
On arriving at the house, the
licensed candidate was not visible,
and the latest invited guest was
shortly afterwards astonished at see
ing his friend standing up in the
bridegroom's place under second
license, taken out that day, under
which, Rev. DR.. Andrus officiating
soon made them one flesh, and the
assembled company warmly congratu
lated the happy pair.
There are several rumors afoat con-
corning this affair; some of them
highly oolored. One says the frs
candidate acted without authori
tv from the lady. Another that the
successful swain. learning the day sci
for the the wedding, got his license
and by urgent pleading, got in day
ahead. A third rumor says that the
tilted lover tried to commit suicide
by swallowing a dozen Of Cloud;
Cordial. bottles and all; but after
drinking the contents Of two or three
bottles he felt SO happy that he con-
eluded, like Rip Van Wrinkle, Tn
better midout it.
