ADJUSTMENTS.

VARIETIES THEATEE.-The reception given
Mr.. Mccullough on his first appearance seems
only to have been the presage OF more
brilliant welcome to our boards. From the
first he has, by our amusement-lOving people,
been judleiousIy appreciated and still the i'll
terest in his presentations is unsatisfied. Last
nj, Int there was a select and crowded house to
hear him in the strong character OF Spartacus
in the Gladiator" What we have said Of
him before still holds good. For most natu-
raj, painstaking aud truthful actor We can re-
call but few who could compare with Mr.. Nc
Cullough.
Mr.. Thorne as Phars:rius, won golden
opinions. and is nightly growing into public
favor by his easy and graceful style. Mrs J.
L. Carhart came fully up to the dramatic re-
quirements Of .her part. She is easy, and
without the least affectation in her rendition,
and fully deserves the warm opinions ex-
pressed OF her careful rendition.
ST. CHARLAs TnEATEE.-Tbe announcement
that Ben DeDar would appear in his great
character OF Falstatf, in the playof "Henry
w." last night, drew g fair audience to the st.
Charles.
The Falstaf OF DeBar is SO well-known
that comment is unnecessary, and the an
nouncement that he will walk the boards
again tonight will, no doubt, be met with
substantial evidences Of appreciation.
ACADEMY OF Music the Hump
ty Dumpty troupe ought to congratulate them
selves on their reception last night. There
| was dense crowd from pit to dome to wit
ness their opening, and the repeated applause
testified how thoroughly their efforts were ap-
preciated.
Mr.. Fox was, as he always has been, fully
equal to the occasion. His comical changes
of feature, his wouderf1l grimaces brought
down the house again and again. The troupe,
now at the Academy, will. without doubt,
prove success. On Wednesday there will
be grand matinee, when all the ladies will
be out in hundreds to enjoy this pleasant en-
| tertainment.

Our Imports from Great Brit
ain.

One OF the most hopeful signs of an
improving financial condition in the
country Is the decline of important lux
uries. According to the report of the
Bureau of Statistics there was consid-
cradle falling of in the importation of
the principal articles Of British manu-
facture for the year 1873 as compared
with the previous year, and particularly
during the last months of 1873. Take
cotton piece goods, for example, and we
lind that in 1872, lSl, 6l7 1886 yards were
imported, while in 1873 the number Of
OF yards was l09,5OO,345 So we
might so through the list of import
ed articles and find a corresponding re-
ductlon- Iron, however, Is specially
worthy of mention. In 1872 there were
l61 ,SOI tons of railroad iron, ca ,553 tuns
OF bar, angle, bolt and rod iron and
100, l0l tuns OF pig iron imported. while
IN 1873 the amount was-railroad iron.
iso,'O2 tuns; pig iron, IO2,624 tuns, and
nar ana other kinds of iron, 23,OO6 tuns.
Ahis Is difference Of over 500, GOO, 600
IN IRON alone. Ii we can continue to
reduce our imports and increase our eN-
ports the exchanges will be more in our
laNor, and this would do more to bring
down the. premium on gold aud carry us

legislation of Congress.

CB- Hon. w. c. WhitthOrne made
a speech before the Ways and
Means Committee of Congress the
other day in favor of a reduction of the
tax on tobacco and whisky. He thought
"taxes should be levied as near as can
be, upon capitol, or upon luxuries, and
not upon the productive industries of
the country" With due respect toward
our distinguished friend and represen-
tatlve, we would like to enquire if he
classes whisky and tobacco as necessa-
ries and not luxuries? Our opinion is
that If they are not luXuries, they are
worse-a eurse-and should be made to
yield large per cent of the internal
revenue of the country. The tax is not
paid by the producer. II so the matter
might be different. But it is paid by
those who consume and enjoy and abuse
these luxuries.
