1.-THE Bankers Daughter one of the best, If
not the very best, of Bronson Howard's plays, was
presented at the National Theatre last night by
the J. W. Collier Combination. The drizSling rain
prevented the full attendance that the merits of
the piece and the company justified, but yet there
was good audience who by their frequent APP
plause testified their appreciation of the per-
formance Although the play has been seen here
before, its presentation last night was such as to
give it new interest The stage-setting
was exceptionally fine, and several of the
scencs-noably the moonlight scene in
the fourth act, where the duel took
pace-evoked warm and hearty applause for their
excellence. The company Is well balanced and
presents the play most acGeptably. Mr.. Joseph L.
Whiting as John StrebeiOiU gave n STRAIGHTFORWARD
presentation OF an honorable and upright Ameri-
can, and in the emotional passages was decidedly
effective. Mr.. w. s. Daball was slightly too sins
ter rs the Count de CdrOdC, but he showed the
possession Of fine baritone voice. and his song in
the second act was enCored. Mr. George G. Bonitncc
as g. Washington Phipps showed his great versatility
in his careful Interpretation Of this most difficult
character, which he rendered with the same ar
tistc finish that is characteristic of this sterling
nctor-gving 1t all the humOr that was requisite,
but not extrayagantly ovcrdrawing It.. Miss Adele
Begarde as Lillian, The BANKERS Daughter, proved n
finished and graceful actress. With voice by no
means musfa Isl d saS Ss! SeP aspSn ssS H ths
Lizzie Hudson and Rosa Graham were especially
good, and great credit is due TO little Georgia who
played the child Natalie. The Bankers Daugh.

The following very important resolution was
introduced in the House yesterday by Hon. Z. W.
Robertson, of Louisiana, and referred to the Com
mIttee OH Levees and Improvement Of the Missls-
sippi River. At the present time, when the whole
aluvial district is under water, it would be well
for the public to get better understanding of the
plan of improvement proposed and its effect upon
the periodical foods, &c:
Whereas the Improvement Of the Mississippi River
Is question of national Importance and one which
should be kept distinct from partisan politics and
sectional animositieS;
Whereas the plan of Its Improvement is question
which belongs to the domain Of science rather than
politics;
Whereas Congress recognized this doctrine In its
emphatic support of the bill creating the Mississippi
River commission, which passed the Senate by vote
Of IS to i and the House by vote of 1865 TO II;
Whereas said commission have considered, ma

Whereas their report has been explained to the
