NEW YORK, Sept 15.-The particulars of the
attack on the American barque Brothers, in
Santa Anna bay, by Mcxicans, show that SAN
tos Pardon, the cOnsignee of the vessel, and his
clerk, Ramon RppoI led the assault. CAPTAIN
Thuyston of the barque Brothers, while on shore
at Santa Anna, August goth, was forciblv de-
tanned by the civil authorities and informed that
one of his sailors must be given up ON account
of debt of 5000 to a citizen of Santa Anna. and
two others, one German and one CHILEAN, must
also be given up because they desired to leave
the ship. Captain Thurston said that those men
had been legally and honorabIy shipped; that
they were not McXicans and that the surrender
of so many of his crew would leave him in dis
tress. If they were taken, it must be by force,
and he should lay the whole matter before the
United States government. TO this the Judge
replied, awe do not care for your government

SUPERIOR (CIvIL) CoURT-Brighdnl, C. j.
No. 391, Addison c. Johnson VS.. Laban B.
Stevens, was begun Thursday morning, and
given to the jury Friday noon, and they re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff late in the af
ternoon. The case is a novel one, the first of
the kind tried here. 1t appears that in 1869,
the plaintiff, having an opportunity to buy
wood lot, applied to the defendant to loan him
the money to pay for it. The defendant fur
nished the money, and took the deed in his own
name. Subsequently the plaintiff sold the land
at an advance Of $1,000, and applied to defendant
to convey it. The defendant did so, but before
doing so said to the plaintiff, of make this
deed, shall claim one half of the
profits" to which the defendant de-
INJURED, but the deed was made,
and $500 of the purchase money was given to
plaintiff the balance to the defendant. This ac-
ton was brought to recover the balance of the
profits of the sale after deducting interest,
trouble &c. The plaintiff claimed that the
tansaction was in effect a loan to him of the
money required to purchase the land, that the
deed was taken to defendant merely as security
for the purchase money, and that he (the plain
tiff was entitled to the entire profits of the
transaction, and that the defendant held the
land in trust for him. The defendant claimed
that he held the absolute title of the land in him
self and that at best the plaintiff had only de
fendants verbal promise to convey it to him
upon defendants receiving the purchase money
as security Tor it. The jury returned verdict
for the plaintiff for s42O. Very and Bartholo-
new for the plaintiff, Aldrich and Stockwel for
the defendant.
Both juries have been dismissed, but the court
will sit short time this morning to hear mo-
tions, etc.

The THEATRE.-The dramatic entertainment
of Thursday night, under the auspices of Tay
leure & Simmonds, deserves more than a pass
ing notice, as it was one Of the very best ever
given in Worcester. Mr.. Lawrence Barrett, as
James Harebell, in "The Man O'Airle," proved
to be an actor of uncommon ability and genius,
possessed of power irresistible in its effect to
move the enthusiasm and the sympathy of his
auditors. The play is one that appeals power
fully to the feelings, and the fate of the hero
from the time he first appears with his manu-
script of poems, to be published in book, to the
sad ending, when he becomes poor crazed
"gaberlunzil," through bitter disappointment,
brought on by the treachery of supposed
friend, is followed with intense interest. In the
domestic scene in the second act Mr. Barrett,
as the happy poet, rocks the baby in the cradle,
singing as he docs SO, one of the sweetest of
lullabies, in most charming manner. The
supporting company was the best one, as
whole we think that has ever visited Worcester
Miss NJ. L. Gordon and Mr.. J. S. Delaney were
particularly good in their parts. 1t is difficult
to understand why SO good a performance
should have TO be given to an audience small in
numbers, but perhaps it may be true that the
theatrical patrons have had their taste vitiated
in some degree by the numerous plays of a sensa-
tional and perhaps questionable character that
have almost uniformly been presented TO
Worcester public. We hope Messrs Tayleure
& Simmonds will find more appreciation when
they come to Worcester again with their com
pany.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-George Potter suggests
in the Times, to-day, compromise of the New

parties.
