Booth.

nOOtu.
Music Hall was but little more than half
filled last night, which was quite remarkable
considering the wonderful attraction which
Edwin Booth always exerts. The lack of au-
dience was quite likely due to the fact that the
play-The Iron Chests comparatively unfa-
miliar, though in point of fact we don't think
familiarity adds to its attractiveness. 1t is thin
of plot and stilled and STACEY of dialogue. 1t
is redeemed from utter vapidness only by the
genius of Mr.. Booth and the general good char
acter of his support. The whole purpose of the
play is to show the workings of the guilty con-
science of Sir Edward Mortimer an acquitted
murderer ambitious for fame and a good name
and morbidly apprehensive of the detection of
his secret, which is at last diyulged through his
violent and desperate efforts to insure its safety
by blasting the reputation of his young Secre-
tary MILFORD, who has come to a knowledge of
his masters guilt. There is bit of lovemak-
ing between! Mortimer-Mr Booth-and Helen
Miss Pateman,-the young lady doing that kind
of thing better than she does her tragic parts
Messrs. Ogden and Taylor played well the
parts VI rIJznaruIng and MILFORD respectively
while Mr.. Pateman made capital comic ser
want with rather idiotic song. .,....... ...
The play is hardly worthy the great dramatic
power of Mr.. Booth, and the public will proba-
bly, show better appreciation of him in those
parts more consistent with the dignity of his
acting, Richelieu, Shylock and Don Cesar de
Bazan. ..
The entertainment closed with very anus
ing little comedietta- Conjugal Lesson-con-
sisting of two parts sustained by Miss and Mr.
Pateman. Miss Pateman played her part CAPT
tally and won very decided applause for her
brilliancy and vivacity. She is clearly more a
success in mock than in real heroics. Mr..
Pateman was admirable as Simon Lullaby and
was highly appreciated by his public
We heartily commend this company, aside
from Mr. Booth who needs no commentator,
to the favorable consideration of our citizens
The opportunity of the next three nights should
be improved by all lovers of high art. Mr..
FraEcis Bangs, who made so favorable an i'm
preston as Laertes on Saturday night, appears
again tonight in Rchelieu.

FIRST UNIvERsALIsT CHURcH.-Sunday last
was the third anniversary of Rev. Mr.. Gibbs
entrance upon the pastorate of the First I'm
iversalist church in this city, and at the morn
lug service the reverend gentleman preached an
interesting discourse, prompted by the occa-
sion in which he reviewed the work of people
and pastor during the past three years. We
| give the STATISTICAL portion: The total amount
of money raised from all sources has been $685.
900; of which $4,000 was for ordinary parish
purposes. Ten thousand dollars of the remain
der was devoted to the extinguishment of the
| parish debt; $1,000 went to various charitable
and benevolent objects outside the parish, $1,000
| to the Murray fund, and $4,000 to aid Westbrook
| Seminary. The missionary fund yielded $500,
| and the Body fund and the Thanksgiving col
lection amounted to $500. The Sunday School
| contains children of 800 families, and of this
| number 40 families are not otherwise connected
with the society. Turning from the parish to
the pastor, the speaker said that during his pas
torate in Portland he had administered the rite
of baptism 81 times solemnized go marriages,
and attended 1O5 funerals, one-third of the
number of persons not belonging to the parish;
and his pastoral visits number 1900, or an aver
| age of 80 per month. In the discourse Mr.
Gibbs asked for greater interest in the Sunday
School, and urged remembrance of the parish
| poor fund Continued loyalty to the interests
of the denomination, its missions and other re-
! ligious and benevolent enterprises was enforced
in the discourse, which was listened to with
much pleasure by the congregation.
THE M. L. A. LEcTUREs.-The Mercantile
Library Association have about completed ar
rangements for one of the most brilliant and
attractive course of lectures ever presented in
| this country. No expense will be spared TO pro-
| cure the most distinguished talent, both at
home and abroad
Among the lecturers already positively en-
| gagged are the names of Edmund Yates, the
great Engligh author of London, Henry Ward
Beecher, Rev. Robert Collyer of Chicago, D. r.
Locke, Esq, "Nasby," Geo. VIM Curtis Esq,
James I. Fields and John b. Cough. Thus
making an array of attractions never before off
cred in any one course of entertainments in this
city.
MISS GARY seems to be making more brill
lant success this season than ever before. The
Boston journals vie with those of New York in
complimentary notices and the hest iudges are
assigning her the place of Star, in the strong
Patti INSTRUMENTATION. That high authori-
ty, the Boston Commonwealth, in a resume of
the Strakosch concerts says:
In affording legitimate and thorough cratif-
cation, no member OF the troupe has been SO
completely successful as Miss Cary. Her ef-
forts have evidenced a wider range than anv of
| her previous essays, and have enhanced the ar
! lists former conspicuous and favorable repute
| here. We doubt if another singer on the stage
| could approach Miss Cary's rendering of "K ath-
leen Mavonrneen," orr Looking Back" in true
sentiment, sympathy and soul-power.

A correspondent Of the Clarion, re-
ferring 70 Hon. L. q. c. Lamar, say.
that the name and fame of this unrivaI.
ed orator is as warmly cherished amid
the pine hills Of East Mississippi, upon
our Southern seacoast, and the alluvial
district bordering upon the Mississippi
river, as in his own loved home in Ok
ford. Reasons already assigned would
be sufficient TO justify departure from a
policy which has heretofore been recon-
mended and pursued, of nominating
and electing TO Office only those who, at
the time Of their election, labored under
no disabilities. The disabilities which
Col Lamar incurs are no obstacle to his
admission to a seat in Congress, even if
the political complexion of that body
remain as at present That assurance
has been given from a Irresponsible source.

Southern States would be the first act

any event, therefore, a very brief inter-
val viii elapse between the assembling
Of the next Congress and the passage of
an act by which his disabilities would be
removed. As the first is the only dis
trict Of Mississippi In which the OPPOSE

the representative from that district
may be justly considered the representa-
tive Of the Conservative masses Of the
State. Indeed, looking out e all the

DESTINY.

Memphis is o~Utstripped in progress
and prosperity by st. Louis, bat no Othe
Western or Southern city grows witt
greater rapidity. There is little said 0
it, but the footprints of progress ar,
everywhere visible. The APPEAL hai
constantly warned citizens Of northern
districts that the policy Of our present
municipal masters was ruinoUs to Pinch
and fun Of b~eneicence to Sodom. Witt
steady progressive steps wealth move:
southwardly, and they who surely
have genius for the conduct Of
elections, little know how 30 profit
by their victories. For months
and months railway lines were
excluded from the navy-yard in the
northern confines of the city, and while
wealth he~sitated, knowing not where to
rest, the cOstiest elevator on the Mis-
sissippi, from its source 70 the sea, was
erected. Then wealth moved visibly
southwark. Towards Row was hardly
an obstruction to its progress. Its de-
molition is v threatened, ana the
stateliest piles Of brick and mortar in
the city lift massive fronts where Old
rookeries, fun Of filth, and disease, and
crime, recently Disguised me rudest

JUDGE JERE BLACK FOR GREE.
LEY.

Among the many prominent Demo-
cratic statesmen of the country, who
have been claimed by the Grant organs
as opposing Horace Greeley, one OF the
most conspicuous IS Hon. Jere Black, OF
Pennsylvania. Judge iBlack has just
written a most able letter to the editor
of the Baltimore Gazette in which be
sets forth with characteristic clearness
and force, the many reasons why every
Democrat in the land should support
Horace Greeley from a profound con-
Yiction that nothing but his election
will save the country from a long period
of misg0vernment, and perhaps the to-
tai destruction of our free institutions
Judge Bl1ck's opinion of Nh. Greeley
is most carefully and justly expressed.
His old assaults upon the Democratic
party, he regards as "faults of manner
and temper, which, when mended are
always pard0ned.p - In regard to the
degree of confidence to be reposed in
Mr.. Greeley, Judge Black most admir-
ably observes: 81 have looked into his
past history only to ascertain what he is
now and what he is likely TO be in the
future. | am bound to care nothing for
his "antecedents, J, except as they fur
nlsh the means of estimating his charac-
ter. think have found out with rea-
sOnable certainty how far we may con-
hde in him. / dev0utly believe that, if
chosen President, he will keep his oath,
preserve the constitution inviOlate, ex-
ecute the laws faithfully, restore the
States to their Tightful autonomy, pro-
ectindiyidual liberty by jury trial and
hc6e0S corpus, put the military in prop
er subOrdination to the civil authority,
use neither force nor fraud to carry cleo
tons, keep his hands clean from cor
rupting gifts, set his face like a flint
against all manner of financial dishOn-
esty, purify the administration of Justice
as much as in him lies maintain the
public credit byprOmpt discharge of all
just obligations, economic the revenue
and tighten taxation, give to capital the
right which belongs to it, and at the
same time see that labor is not robbed
Of its earnings. He will certainly hold
his power of appointment as public
trust, and not as q part of his personal
possession to be used for the support of
his family, o. to encourage the private
liberality of his friends. He will, so far
as he a without transgnessing thelim-
its of his legal authority, relieve the
Southern States from the gangs that are
now proving upon their vitals in open
partnership with the present admins

dicates great expectations. AS MFR.
Gansl is agent Of the Rothschilds, and
Mr.. Latham of prominent British cap

of much wealth, they can afford to hold
such a valuable property. A party of
miners have gone to the mines with
