DIsCoUST on INPoETED GOODs.-It has come
to the knowledge of the Treasury Department
that certain importers are in the habit of having
the manufacture from whom they purchase
goods render their invoices in such manner as
to show discount Of FIVE per cent, with two and
one half per cent. commission added, which is
the same in fact as sn actual discount Of two
snd one-hslf per cent. This discount is not made
to all importers, but only to particular houses
The fact Of this discount Of FIVE per cent being
deducted. and two and oue-half per cent commis-
sion added, is an evasion Of the TWO and one-half
per cent. duty on the whole amount ofthe invoices
go rendered. II makes no difference to the manu-
fscturer who sells goods whether he makes in
voices five per cent discount snd two and one
half per cent commission sdded. or whether he
makes them at two and one-halt per cent. dis
count only. He receives upon settlement exsctly
the same amount. 1t would depend entirely
upon the action of the appraisers at the port Of
entry whether the evidently-intended fraud
would be discovered and the Government pro-
tected. The cases referred to are practiced by
certain leading houses in the country, to the de-
triment Of the large houses. sud causes q serious
loss to the revenue Of the United States.

MACBETIT.-1t is a matter Of wonder
that this marvellous play is so seldom
acted Of late years Perhaps the reason
may he that it is almost impossible to
find an actor fully competent topersOnate
the title role. The character of Macbeth
presents so many dissimilar traits, reveals
such contrarieties, and such apparent in.
constituencies OF purpose, that It Is one of
the most difficult Of all Shakspeare's crea.
tions 10 analy2e or define. Macbeth Is a
brave and honorable chieitain, and yet
low Assassin and pitiless tyrant. Mr..
Buchanan in personating him last
night, brought out all the subtitle
traits in the character Of the great
Highland Chieltain in n most powerful
manner The scene previous to the as.
sassination was terrible in lis earnestness,
and vivid portrayal Of the passions that
mastered the murderers mind. Creeping
from door to door, he watches and listens
at every step, and patses at every en-.
trance to be sure that all are at rest, and
is proceeding stealthily toward his victim,
when the bloody mind turns artist and
shapes upon the air that symbol Of It's de.
sire-the fatal dagger. Only the truly
great actor can thus ilumine the text, and
this scene alone would stamp Mr.. Blu.
chanan as a tragedian of the highest rank.
Tonight, at the express desire Of sew.
eral who wish to see Mr.. Buchanan In
comedy, he will appear as Sir Harcourt
Courtly, in London Assurance" his

stand without rival.
Damon and Pythias will be presented
tomorrow evening by request of the mem.

Company of this city, yesterday, met ID
share of the loss by the burning of the
"Top Mill" last Sunday. 1t had risk OIL

its check on the third day after the fire.
Such promptness is characteristic Of the
Peabody, and has made it one Of the most
popular companies in this region.
We heard again, yesterday, that the
Mil would be rebuilt at an early day on
the old site. Should tile report prove

DEATH OF T. NJ SnvEY,-It is rarely,
and very rarely, that so sad and painful a
task deVolyes upon US as this, the task oil
announcing the death OF Thomas Morgan
Silvey. The announcement will fall with
a shock of pain and grief upon many a
heart in which love for the kindly, genial,
loving friend was warm and constant.
Last evening Mr.. Silvey was in his usu-
al health, and extraordinarily high spirits,
the quaint, kindly humOr and merriment
which characterized him, being manifest.
ed in a very high degree. AT little after
ten o'clock he was attacked with cholera
morbus, and soon was suffering very ter.
nbly. Three physicians were in attend.
anCe upon him throughout the night, but
no relief seemed possible, Shortly after
midnight the sufferer became convinced
that he was dying, and IN the midst Of
the agony he suffered, tried to comfort
those who wept around him. AT half.
past seven o'clock this morning death
terminated his pain. He died with words
of love for those he lett behind, and with
hope for what awaited him beyond the
grave,
Rarely is any young man so widely and
heartily beloved as "Morg' Silvey, II
would hardly be too much TO say that all
who knew him loved him. He possessed
scarcely a quality that was not lOveable,
and the faults he had seem 10 have had
their roots in his good qualities. He was
in early manhood, being only twenty.
three years Ofage, and the future offered
him brilliant prospects, had he lived.
For considerable time, he had been
salesman in the Methodist book store in
this city, and seemed identified with its
business and interests.
The funeral will take place at half.
past three o'clock this afternoon from the
residence Of his parents on Third Ave
nue.. The remains will be conveyed to
Washington, Pa, his native place, Tor in.

BAD RUHAwAY-SMAsH.UP AND HORSE
KILLED-About six O'Clock last evening,
horse and carriage belonging to Mr..
Hall, one OF the editors of this paper, were
standing in the alley by the stable, be-
tween Centre and John streets, when the
animal took fright and ran down the alley
to Fifth street. His momentum carried
him across the street, and the carriage
struck tree in front Of the residence Of
Alex. Rogers, Esq The carriage was
overturned and shaft broken, The
horse ran up 10 Mr.Little's corner and then
ran down Centre, dragging the carriage
after him and kicking the sharp end of
the broken shaft, which g0aded him.
The frightened animal, apparently in
great agony, ran upon the pavement just
above the residence OF Mrs. johnson, Op.
pOsitc the Linsley Institute. The car.
risge caught here on the railing OF the
steps, and after some Intellectual struggles,
the horse was freed from the carriage by
those gathered around. In few mo-
ments he reeled and fell to the pavement
and in two or three minutes was dead,
The broken shaft had penetrated vital
part. The top OF the carriage was torn
oil, and it suffered other damage.
When the animal started. Mr.. II. seized
him by the head in an Intellectual effort to
stop him, and AFTER being carried some
distance, was thrown down and run over
by the carriage, receiving some bruises,
but no serious injuries.
