Theatre Comique.

The bill was changed in several rather important
respects at this popular downtown theatre, and
the entertainment concluded with the production,
for the first time, OF drama, entitled "Around
Town. The piece Is evidently chiefly written as q
vehicle for the delineatlon Of number OF charac-
teristic New York types the Dutchman, tho
'b'hoy,n &c. It has, however, thread of
dramatic interest, and contains several exciting
sensation tablcaux. In the first part of the pro-
gramme there is the usual medley OF song and
dance and bunoonery. Mr. John Hart is as good
Niger as ever and sketch, bearing the thrilling
title OF 1.-THE Coal Heavers' Revenge Is really very
funny There Is another scene, "POmpey's Patients"
which ought to be promptly suppressed. 1t depicts
the inside OF madhouse and two three actors try
as well as they can succeeding very well, too, by
AGNES himself pump and another that he Is in
perpetual rainstOrm. This may be very funny, but
SO terrible human innrmity as madness Is alto,
the fOotlights. Among the vocalists Miss Ada
Wray carries of the palm, and her voice s very
fresh and sweet. Miss Lillian Hylton also earned
and received an encore. Enough has been said to
show that this house is equal to its old standard OF
excellence, allowance being made, of course, for
the sOmewat "miXed" taste of its patrons.

All immortal literature is, in some
way, indissolubly associated with tav-
ems. The New Testament begins in
one. Don Quixote and Sancho never
seem truly themselves sill they reach an
inn. English literature proceeds out OF
the Tabard-yard with Chaucer. The
Shakspearean age and the Johnsonian
age are demonstrations that at the close
Of life, we must admit our truest well
come to have been an inn. In our age,
the inn-keeper is the successor of the
abbot and the robber, and blending of
both. His house is as big as the great
lodging converts of the Middle Ages,
and as dear as the toll of Rhenish rob
ber-knight. The republican inn-keeper
of Switzerland is generally magistrate;
in republican America, he is at the head
OF the second or great average rank of
citizens and sometimes well over in the
first rank. The religious sensibilities of
clergymen against men who sell liquor
necessarily while keeping hotels, appear
to have been appeased for several years;
for nowadays there is not Confer
ence," annual or general, but the
tayerns are besought to take
certain number Of preachers as
free guests. The landlord always does
it, having secret affinity for preachers
anyway they make the house respecta-

each others society. Besides, the
preacher is an inn-keeper. No class of
poor men is as much prosecuted for food,
raiment, medicine and money, as conn

posters, whose chief piety consists in
saying amen" instead of That's

around to make a boozing-ken Of the
country-parsonage. If they cant find
bed in the house, take it in the stable,

perpetual sympathy between a landlord
and clergyman. If that little bar did
not stand between them, their theologies
would not differ hair George Alfred

Arrest of an American DueiIist in
HaDIeN.

The Osservatore Romano, of the 26th
nit. contains an account of the arrest
of NJ. f. Brewster an American, who
recently killed Count d Parma in duel
near Leghorn, Italy. The particulars of
that mortal encounter, translated from
the Turin Gazette, appeared in these
columns two months ago, and in the
close of the article, which graphically
described the duel, it was asserted that
Mr.. Brewster had fed from the scene of
his crime.
The Osservaiore Romano says that
after Mr.. Brewster had quit Leghorn he
fed north to Lombardy and secluded
himself from the keen surveillance Of
the police in some obscure village. In
September, it seems, the young Ameri-
can received assurances from his trusty
friends in Leghorn that no jury in Italy
would find him guilty, and that it would
be as we'll for him to move south and ex-
pose himself to arrest in Rome, Leghorn
or Naples.
After enjoying several weeks of the
brilliant season " in Naples, Brewster
was called upon one afternoon, while
dining with several of his countrymen
at the famous Cafe di Europa, by dep
uty Of the project of police Brewster
was arrested, and, by an order named
transmissione, was removed from Ma
pies to Leghorn to await his trial for the
killing of the Count di Parma, lieu
tenant of the National Guard, and a
member Of the most distinguished family
OF. Sardinia.
The circumstances of the duel in
which Brewster killed the Count di
Parma are: In conversation at fash.
ionable cafe, Di Parma grossly insulted
American institutions, and Brewster re-
sented the insult to his country by a
blow of his hand. Friends of both par
ties then interferred, and the next act Of
the tragedy was challenge sent to the
American, 1t was accepted, Brewster
replying that he was prepared TO meet
the Count anywhere or under any cir
cumstances. They met " on little
sward near place known as the Ire Col
line, situate about three or four miles
from Leghorn city. Fifteen PAGES were
measured, the combatants were blind
folded, pistols we're the weapons used,
and the Count di Parma fell at the first
fire.

when lost Il is not 80 easy to regain il. The
popular idea Of ffty years ago that a tremen-

element Of cure in almost all diseases has for
tunately for mankind been pretty efectually
exploded. The Introduction Of Hostetter's
