pay was Inc CiusheQ 1raSedIan, IN
which, as in "0ur American Cousin" he
sustained the leading character, that of De
Lacy Fitzaitamont, seedy lecturer, actor,
draInatist and general genius, who is ever
ready TO appear as King Lear, lecture on
Central Africa, play the trombone or take a
drink. As a skillful personation the charac-
ter exhibits more art On the part Of Mr.
SotherD, by far, than that of Lord Dun
dreary. 1t is full Of real humor and It's wit
does not depend upon the vaporings of a
weak-brained Top, but is the product Of a
keen Intelligence given to the grotesque,
alive to the humor of every situa-
ton, and not sparing of its own mis-
cries for the sake of the mirth that
they may excite. The support appeared to
better advantage than on the first night In
deed, Miss Julia Stewart, w Blakely and H.
Harwood were recognized by the audience as
specially worthy of applause. Mr.. Sothern
was recalled twice at the close of the fourth
act. His acting was in the true spirit of low
comedy and as complete as finished work
should be at the hands of a true artist To-
night Mr.. Sothern makes his last appearance
here in the drama of David Garrick, in
which we opine his true mettle will be tested
and seen to better advantage than in the
light comedies of the past two nights.
A MILD PRosEcUTIoN.-In the Police
Court the other day truly affecting scene
occurred. A negro named Jackson had been
arrested for having assaulted and beaten an
other man. \ number of witnesses were ex-
amined, and the evidence showed the attack
to have been brutal and unprovoked. At the
conclusion Of the testimony the defendants
attorney asked to have the case dismissed
The attorney who bad been deputed to prose-
cute the case also arose and said, ''If it
please your Honor, / have examined this
case, and there is nothing in it, And them
with all the pride of one who loves his native
State and all its residents, his voice grew elo-
quent as he continued why, sir, he was a
native OF the proud State of Virginia and the
historic town Of Winchester. The name of
Jackson IS one illustrious in ITSELF and those
who bore it figured among the leaders in the
best days Of our republic. Alas | knew his
brother well, and many day has he dangled
me or his knee when / was but an innocent,
Hspiag babe; therefore l move, your Honor,
that the prisoner be discharged" AS soon rs
the Judge could recover from his astonish-
ment and admiration Of the prosecutors mag
unanimous eloguence. be replied: 1.-The mo-
ton is overuied. The defendant Is guilty.
and win be dangled at the Jail for fifty
days"
