Gene? ral Howard and Mr. Wood have both been before the committee. The latter declares that if there is a full, impartial inquiry, he will prove every one ol' the allegations he has made. Thc com? mittee have voted to keep the evidence and their proceedings secret till a flua'. report ls made. The Reconstruction Committee heard Sen ter Unalla this morning.

In thc House the Georgia bill was taken up by 30 to 20, and discussed by Tipton in favor of the Bingam amendment, and by Howe against the admission of the State, and in favor of a provis? ional government. The latter argued that the State Constitution allowed the Legislature to per? petuate Use:r Indefinitely, and was not Republi? can in form, and that when two parties in a State hated each o her more than they hated injustice and outrage, neither should be allowed the as. cendancy.

UPLANDS VS. SEA ISLANDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEWS. EDISTO ISLAND, April C. As some intormation about our crops now being planted in this part of our State may bc ac? eptable. I will state what I know of the experi? ence of the planters herc during tho last season, aud their Intentions for this seasott, and of my own. It may safely bc assorted that very few of us have cleared our expenses in the cultivation or sea island cotton last year, and still fewer have made any profit. Only those of us who could get all or their crop to market early were able to do either of these. I will give my own *xn?ri ence, which can show what has been that of the majority of sea island planters. 1 planted one hundred and Qfty acres lu sea Islands, on land which, before the war, yielded an average of one hundred and thirty pounds per acre; but last summer, on account or the caterpillars and drought, thc yield averaged only eighty-eight pounds per acre, giving forty-two bags, which were sent to Charleston in three lots, costing me about eighty cents per pound here. Those lots were sold respectively at eighty two cents, sixty eight cents and forty-eight cents per pound, an average of only sixty-three cents per pound, ex? clusive of expenses there, giving a loss of not less than nineteen cents per pound on my whole crop, say about $2500. I had calculated upon a yield of about one hundred pounds per acre, and a price of about seventy-five to eighty cents per pound, which would have cleared me about $1000 above all my expenses. This is the third season of just such experience with me, and now I have determined to give up this losing business and try short cotton. I am now preparing one hundred acres for uplands, and wiil not plant any sea Islands at all. My? lands will yield three hundred pounds of short cotton per acre, which will mature before cater pillars can injure it, and even at twenty-one cents per ponud, will give sixty-three dollars per acre while my class or long cotton, even at Arty cents per pound, would give only forty-four dol iars per acre, even ir this summer is as mir in every respect as the last. The cost of cultivation of short cotton is also not so great as long cotton. I advise all of my friends and neighbors to plant short cotton, and give ap sea Islands entirely, and many of them will do so. I do not believe that more than one-hair as much long staple will be planted this spring as last, for men cannot contiuuc to lose money all thc time; un cud must come, sooner or later. It is well known that our lands do net suit up? lands so well as sea islands, but we have to sub? stitute .'or the latter some staple that will pay us. Sugar cultivation must take the position once held by long cotton here, when our people, or some others, can have ?he capital to invest in it and furnish the costly machinery; out our people may as well realize the fact at once, that sea island couoa can no longer bc cultivated here with profit. PLASTER. "Thc Shocking Tragedy Ut Kings true." TO TUE EDITOR OF THE NEW?. I beg to remind yon and your readers that there are two sides to all questions. Oue side or the so called "Shocking Tragedy at Klng6tree" has been put rorth lu the papers with all thc earnest? ness characteristic of a d?termination to take thc lives of three men, right or wrong, for that of oue who acted in such a manner as legitimately to forfeit his own life. But without reflecting upon the dead, or mak? ing charges in advance of a judicial investigation upon the living. I beg leave to remind the reader that Mr. Brown, the so-called murderer, has uot been heard-that he shonld not bc condemned without a beering-that he is wiliiug to have, in? deed he courts, a judicial investigation of his con? duct before a jury or his countrymen, when he reels satisfied he will bc able to justiry his cause; and, in the meantime, he thinks it very unjust that public opiuiou should be prejudiced against him by parading, in the newspapers, a one-sided view or the ca*e, when, too, he ls unable, from thc wound received in tin connie;, to present bis side of thc question. The unfortunate difllcuity between him and Mr. Martin, it is true, lin? Sud u bud termination, which no one regrets the necessity for more thau Mr. Brown himself; but 1: will be remembered by those who knew anything of the facts, and are willing to look at them without prejudice, that Mr. Martin first acted in suth a manner as to blast the character of Brown altogether, unless he had done something in defence of it; and sure? ly, ir it be true, that a man may take life in dc ience of lire, he may take lire in derence or that which ls dearer than ure, viz: character. I would state that Mr. Brown is not dead as re? ported, though recovering slowly. He asks jus? tice and that is all. FiatjusUUa, Ac. AUICl'S. Hotel Arrival*-April ll. CHARLESTON IIOTEL.

Of thc thousands of bales of cotton made in Western, Middle and Northern Mississippi, much goes to Memphis, thence to Louisville and other more Northern markets, and by far thc greater portion of thc remninder is sent down the river to New Orleans. The cotton factors of Vicksburg know this, and arc therefore making strenuous efforts to divert this trade at leastITom Northern markets to their own "City of Hills;" and to effect this end, they have addressed & cir? cular to their planting friends, urging upon (bein to patronize their own market, build up their own city, ami encourage that channel of trade through which a bale of cotton reaches the Fpindles of Manchester quicker by odds than Through any other route, to wit-from Vicksburg to Liverpool ria Charleston, & C. This address, appealing to tba planters of Louisiana, Arkansas aud Missis, sippl, says : Teere are but two places where cotton is sold to liny extent for export to points of consumption in the colton region embraced in the nortnern portion of Tennessee, the northern, western, southern and middle portions of Mississippi, all of Arkansas and Louisiana, and the eastern por? tion of Texas, lo wit: New Orleans and Memphis. Thc portions named produce more than half o' the total crop, aud they might add that in a few years the probabilities would be that they would produce two-thirds of lt. Vicksburg ls situated in the centre of this great cotton belt and also of the more valuable long staple cottons. Admit? ting that lt has no advantages over the two places named, by multiplying the number of markets for so large a district of country, you benefit yourselves by Increasing thc number uf buyers and competitors. Epidemics may visit one place and not thc other. A local financial, or other disturbing cause may exist at one and not at the other. Besides, the long staple cottons should have an Independent market, where the prices would necessarily be more remunerative to the producers. The committee inform ns that a railroad will soon bc in operation, which will bring cotton to Vicksburg from the western and nothern por? tions of Louisiana, while her railroad east ls bring? ing iu trains with it for sale or shipment and car? rying back trains with it, seeking thc outer world through the ports of Charleston arid Savannah. Arc the factors of Charleston alive to these efforts? They should remember that the com? mercial world are publishing the fact, that their sister city Is surpassing Charleston lu her ship? ments; the Gcoigia Central Railroad is monopo? lizing for Savannah dally more and more of Charleston's legitimate trade; an alr-ltne railroad is being most rapidly completed from Brunswick, Ga., to Albany, and chartered roads are now being built from Albany, Ga., to Eufaula, Ala., and thence to Montgomery, all of which will be lo rnnning order and making almost an alr-llne from Vicksburg to Brunswick, Ga., iu less than two years; and also, that there Is on foot another i lr-llne railroad project from Vicksburg to Ely ton, Ala., aud thence in direct Hue to Chattanoo? ga and on to Norfolk, Va. Ttiese enterprises should stimulate the City of Charleston, and I trust no efforts will be spared to secure at least a due share or thc shipments of cotton from this fertile valley. In ten years' time Mississippi State will produce 2,000,000 bales or cotton. Thc productive capacity or thc State is only limited by the quantity and quality of labor. A mighty lever to aid Charleston should be her phosphate beds. Every bag or this fertilizer shipped should Induce the return freight of a bale or cotton. New York, Philadelphia, Balti? more, New Orleans, Cincinnati and Louisville fer? tilizers are creeping Into thc State everywhere. I have never yet seen n bag or Charleston phos? phates In Mississippi, and 1 have been all over thc State. The address above alluded to goes on further to say: A shipment or cotton from Vicksburg to Liver? pool via Charleston is as cheap as rrom New Or? leans to Liverpool. This being thc case, buyers can pay as much for cotton at Vicksburg as at New orleans. Thc difference in rrelglit and lt su rance, and thc saving or luteres: us between a shipment rrom Charleston and one rrom New Or? leans to Liverpool being enough to pay the freight from Vicksburg to Charleston. A bale of ?otton shipped rrom Vicksburg to Charleston, a distance ora little more than 600 miles, reaches the latter city in live or six days, while one shipped rrom Vicksburg to New Orleans, thc mouth or the Mis? sissippi River nnd around thc capes ol Florida, a distance or 1600 miles, is tineen or twenty days on thc passage, with an iusuraucc of two per cent tacked ou. Verbum sat. D. W. A. AT THE TUILERIES. Impressions of an American Lady-She has Scan LouU Napoleon and Thinks Him Horrid. A lady correspondent writes from Paris: Thc 23d t was present at court, and attended a grand ball at the Tuileries. The presentation to thc Emperor and Empress is informal, and quite unlike that to the Queen of England, where you arc obliged to have a train, wear feathers, kneel, and walk out of the room backwards. Those ex? pecting to bc presented are arranged in a line, aud the Emperor llrst, and then the Empress, pass along in front, and as each name is men? tioned by the ambassador the Emperor bows very awkwardlv, and the Empress very gracefully. The Empress was very beautifully dressed In white rllk, with wreaths of scarlet flowers. She "was covered with diamonds. Uer neck anil shoulders arc superb, and she ls exceedingly graceful, but not at ail beautiful. She has a pe? culiar walk-seems to glide along without any perceptible motion. Tue Emperor is-horrid. I am a revolutionist since seeing him. He lind on red pantaloons, much too big for bim. ami ls altogether a very vulgar-looking mau. In his hand he carried an itnmencc cocked-hat. Ile ls short and very fat, with agrceulsh complexion and glassy eyes. Ile speaks English very well, and congratulated Mr. Washburne on having such a large number of good-looking people to present. Mr. Washburne was thc only one lu thc room who was not In Rill court dre-s. 1 must say that the court suits are very incoming, mid help to make the scene brilliant and gay. After the pre? sentation, the Emperor and Empress passed, with the ladies and gentlemen or the court, luto the ball-room, and wc all followed. I danced thc first set with a Russian genaral.who was all covered with decoratlous from his head to his feet, but who tore my uew dress fearfully with his spurs and sword. Thc Russians all speak English perfectly, and have a great adinlrat'oa for America, i suppose their own language i3 so dilllcult that arter that any other is easy. The Emperor ami Empress remained In the ball-room watching the dancing until 12 o'clock, trueu they went to supper aud then retired. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRESBY? TER Y. [From thc Newberry Herald.) Tho Presbytery was called to order at S o'clock A. M., Saturday. A cal! from Hopewell Church for the pastoral services of the Rsv. L. K. Glas? gow was ordered to bc placed in lils hands, and was accepted by thc brother. The call from Fair? view Church for the pastoral services or the Rev. C. ll. Stewart excited some discussion, bat was placed in his bauds, and he was permitted to re talu thc call lu lils hands until the next session of Presbytery, Rev. R. A. Mickle, of Newberry C. H., Rev.

Greneker, for kindly furnishing prin? ted abstracts of the proceedings or yesterday. The subject of dividing the Presbytery was ably discussed by Messrs. Baxter, Fair, Lindsay, Adger and others, and eliciting very strong oppo? sition, was finally IndeUuitety postponed. A very animated discussion sprang up on the subject of domestic missions. Dr. John ll. Adger made a very earnest appeal in favor or continu? ing the work. Rev. Dr. E. T. Iluist, in his elo? quent manner, earnestly pressed the same poin .. The discussion was continued by Mr. ?axter. Col? onel lt. A. Fair, Revs. Mickle. Lindsay ami others. The resolutions by Dr. Adger, favorable to a con? tinuation of thc good work, were adopted. Rev. Mr. Jacobs offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : /tosoteed, That thc hearty thanks or this Pres? bytery tic tendered to the citizens or Newberry, for their noble and generous hospitality, ?iud to the various churches, for their kind offer of their church building-!, ant that the pastor of AveJelgh Church be requested to bring th? resolutions be? fore his congregation and the other churches iu such way as he may think best.

"Thc Restoration of thc Hod--How Young Linties are Birched in Eng? land-The Point at which Punish? ment Censen to bc a Virtue. [From the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine.] 41A Rejoicer in thc Restoration of the Rod" says: 1 call myself by tills title because 1 do most nrmly believe that a great many or the acknowl? edged evils or the present age-utidutirul chil? dren, and reckless, heedless young men and women-arise rroui so many parents and teachers having of late years neglected a most essential duty in not using sufllctentand proper corp: ral chastisement. Dut from all I hear a great reac? tion is taking place in this respect. And though there may be many loving mothers, like Tiny, who shrink from it, yet I rejoice that true love ls being more shown In duty triumphing over sen? timent, and that the rod-the birch rod-ls re? gaining Its Old place both among boys and ch id: so much so, that I believe lt ls a very rare thing to lind a preparatory school for boys-especially those conducted by ladies-where the rod is not more or less used. BOY winrrtNG BY WOMEN. I know one most excellent school of this kind In Kentish Town, London, where there are boys rrora six to rourtuen, and where the very kind and good ladies who manage lt (?nd WHO have always more applications ror admission than they can re? ceive.) administer the rod in a way which, lr a Scotch mother conld witness, would eifectually negative her ideas or ladles not being able to birch a boy worth mentioning arter he ceased to be a little boy. I know four or their boys who after? wards went to Eton, where they suidected them? selves to the birch-and I suppose Eton birching is tolerably severe-yet they tuouglit it not near? ly so bad as that or Miss-. I will instance two cases among many where their system an? swered lu a remarkable manner. One was a boy who had Deon to a large preparatory school at Clapham, where "corporal punLshmcnt was dis? pensed With." This boy, at twelve, was a per? iod pest, and by great good luck his parents heard or Miss -'s most excellent school, ami sent him io it. Ile very soon began his bad ways. Miss-tried at flrst gentle mea? sures, but with no success; and so after many of? fences she ordered him lo lils room, let him walt by himself Tor half an hour, and then cn'ered. holding the birch rod behind her so that he should not see lt. She spoke to him very gravely and lovingly, and then told him she was going to birch him, at the same time showing him thc rod, and bidding him prepare himself for punishment, (as she considers making tlie boys prepare them? selves to bc whipped half the battle.) Ile stoutly refused whereupon, after considerable delay, she left bim for half an hour or more. At the end of thnt time she again returned, bringing a cane as well as the rod. ile still refused to prepare him seir. whereupon, spite of his struggles, she took orr his jacket, and then gave him a sound cania z across his shoulders, lie soon promised to do as she told him. She then laid the cane aside; and whet he had taken o fi* lils trousers, and had tucked his shirr, at ber bidding, under his waistcoat, aud laid himself across the little bed with his person bare, she told him she should birch him now for refusing to obey her orders, and that the original punish? ment would be deferred. She then took the rod, and, arter five or six well-delivered strokes, the boy, after trying to protect himself with lils hands, jumped up. She again took the cane and gave him another caning; and thcu he Anally, and once tor all. Giitniiittcd, and my good friend was allowed to finish her birching: and BO far had she masrered him that when the next day another of the Miss-ordered him to his room to re? ceive the original punishment-ror the offence for which her Mster was to have administered punishment the day before-he prepared himself ror the rod exactly as she told him, und took his birching at lier hands with wonderful submis? sion. During his stay at thi3 school (and his pa? rents prolonged it as much as possible) he had many similar private Interviews with the Miss -, In which the birch roil bore a prominent part. Hut his life now bears the fruit of his train? ing then, and it is not possible to (Ind a more ex? emplary or promising young man; and I have no hesitation in saying that lils present promise is mainly owing to the firm discipline he experienced at the hands of Miss-. Thc other case was rather a remarkable one. TOE WIUOWS SOS WALLOPED nY WOMEN AT 10. Seven yearn ago. my good friends, thc same laities were spending tueir ciirUtnia? holidays with a relative In yorkshire, when they had point? ed out to them a boy ot fifteen, who was a fearful trouble to his widowed mother, and during the time they were visiting Yorkshire thc mother came in the greatest distress to Hie bouse where my friends were Staying, and told how her son hail robbed lils uncle. Knowing thc great experleuce of boy human nature which my friends had, they asked thc mother to consult them; she did so, and thc cud of it was mat the motlier determin? ed to take lodgings for herself and her son in Kent? ish Town, and agreed that the son should corneas a day-boy to her school. This accordingly took place. Tue day after he had entered the school, his mother called, by arrangement at li o'clock, and WHS taken into a room where were the Miss -and her sou. lils past conduct was theu fully brought before him. Ile was then told that he muM expect to be severely punished, lie was undressed by the Miss-(this was thought the most advisable,) and then being fastened across a short bench used for thc purpose, he received from each of the Misses - most severe blrch ings, a new rod being applied by each, and all thc birching* were administered in the presence of lils motlier. Ile was then sent to a bedroom Die pared for him In the house, where he remained two days, ile then went back to his mother's lodgings, and attended thc school as a day-boy ns usual. He remained a quarter lhere, and every time he showed his evil nature he was birched. At thc end or the quarter he was a different boy; his friends wore quite amazed at the change In him; he went to Itugby, and thence to Trinity College, Cambridge. lie hus been U12 greatest possible comfort io lils widowed mother, and Ue ls expected to take a very good degree this very January, ISTO. NO KA ll I LY COMPLETE WITHOUT IT. A relative of mine during last autumn adver? tised for a school in which to place her daughter, who was both "headstrong and unruly," and she stated in the advertisement, "a school where cor? poral punishment ls prudently administered pre? ferred." lu reply she had letters from very many principals of ludies' schools, of whom twenty four stated that, they were In thc habit or using corporal punishment lor all graver faults; some used it also for school work; and of these seven? teen or them specified "the birch" rod lu thc old fashioned way" as the Instrument and mode of punishment. I know several public institutions for girls where thc birch rod is used, und several more where it would bc used If tho managers had their way in thc matter. I know one very expen? sive school for young ladles In Kensington, where for certain offences, whatever their age, the young ladies arc birched us follows: Having re? tired and put on a dress for the purpose, at nu appointed hour the young lady to be pun? ished knocks at the door nf Hie boudoir or iheladyprinclp.il, who, arter serious conversa? tion willi her, and sometimes prayer, makes her enter her offence (always a grave one) In a hook kept for the purpose, which she does. The lady principal then rings the bell, and thc matron of the establishment ls sent for, to whom the lady principal hands fie book in which the young lady has just eutercd lier offence, and below which the lady principal has inserted the punish? ment. As she bauds thc book she says, "Mrs. -, will you be good enough to give Miss - so many strokes (naming the number) with Hie birch*" pointing with her Unger to the entry lu the book. The matron takes the book and retires. Presently a maid servant enters and says, "Mrs. - (the matron) is ready ror Miss-." The lady principal saving, "I hop3 this will not occur again," bows the young lady out; and the said yoting lady, lier heart sinking within her, knocks at th? next door, the room where thc matron ex? pects her. On entering she is told by the matrou to ?ic across a narrow ottoman which occupies Hie middle of thc room. Miss-(as a rule there ls no refusal) docs as she ls directed, and the ma? tron then buckles a strap, which, passing across the culprit's waist, fastens her to the ottoman. She then, without a word, removes the loose dress from below her waist, selects a rod from a stand of rods, and slowly administers on Misses-'s liare person Hie prescribed number of strokes, counting each as she gives it. WHEN THF. WHIPPING IS OVER, Inc matron releases her, signs thc punishment book, which the birche ! youag lady takes ag du to the principal's boudoir, who takes the book from her, speaks kindly to her, sometimos kisses her, always shakes her by the hand. She then goes to her own room, resumes her own clothes, and when she is composed enough, takes her usual place lu the school, and nothing more ls said. As I am sure these particulars will interest very manr of your readers, I stiall lie jtreatly obliged ir you will give these sonuwhat length? ened remarks a place lu your magazine: and 1 am quite sure, also, that thc more this subject is ftiliv discussed the more will the advantage of gene? rally introducing the birch rod be allowed; aid not only I. but society at large, will have cause to rejoice in such rcstoraiion. WHIP EARLY ASD WHIP OFTEN. The mother of two boys and six girls (the youngest now twenty-five) writes: -It seems to mc al! your correspondents omit the first princi? ple or the usefulness of punishment liv whipping, namely, that you cannot begin too carly. Permit me to state my method, as it fully answered. As babes in arni, my children were never allowed what they screamed for, and at, the a?e of one vear I began to chastise them, thal is to sav. at first to give perhaps two strokes with a small birch twig, increasing the punishment with their age. With the various dispositions, I round great difference in the amount or discipline required. Two of the children were never- whlppad after rour years old; they were the two which required almo?: incossam punishment between one and three. Two hoys and two girls were never whip ped mnch after seven, or perhaps seven and a hair. My eldest girl escaped from thc rod at ten, but my third, who was subject to fits of wilfulness, did not receive her last whip? ping till some months past fourteen. At the be? ginning, before the child can rea-on. the slightest fault should never pass uncorrected-certainty of the punishment ls even more Important than severity, though I think one severe whipping more useful than three slight ones. A bad flt of obstinacy ls one of the most trying naughtinesses, such as suddenly refusing to say a letter or word perfectly known. As the flt must besnbdued, I used to inflict a whipping at Invervals of ten min? utes till thc word was said. Sometimes thc nt would last an hour or even longer. For lying, as the most deadly of all childish sins, the most severe punishment was reserved. Whatever the time of day. thc culprit was sent up stairs to pre? pare for bed, and when ready was brought to me. I had in the meantime told their father of the oc? currence, and on the child's appearance led lt to the study door, leaving lt to enter alone. THF. BIBLE AND THE BIRCH. Arter pointing ont to the child the fearful na? ture or its ranlt. and praying with it that lt might never again rall Into such sin, my husband, say? ing: "All liars shall have their portion in the lake tba: burncth with Are and brimstone," innicted au Invariable extremely severe whipping, pro? portionate to the agc of the delinquent, who was then sent to bed. The unanswerable argument in ravor or my system, ls that my dear children, who are all married, have adopted lt In every de? tail with their own little ones. Depend upon It, children chastised systematically from a year old will seldom require the rod after ten. FLOKEIXE'S FLOGGINGS. Florence (Oakley square) thus nnrrates her ex? perience: Both my brother and myself v/ere spoil? ed In thc fullest sense of the word. My father spoiled me, and my mother spoiled my brother. However, when I was fourteen years of age, my parents were compelled to go abroad for mamma's health, and I was len under the guardianship or a maldeu aunt, who quickly decided that a strict school was the best place for me. To a school In Hertfordshire I was accordingly sent, the school? mistress having been previously lurormed that I was "a child or wayward disposition." I had not been there a week before "the spirit or opposition which pervaded me," as ray aunt used to term lt, got mc into hot water, and 1 wa3 ordered to beti. I had not been undressed many minutes when Miss Margaret, one or the principals, came Into the bedroom, and arter well lecturing rae on my conduct, told me she Intended to whip me. She then rang the bell, and one or the maids brought a birch rod, and I was told to prepare, which I flatly refosed to do. II L'S'G ON TOE FEO. As l was rebellious, the maid tied my hands to? gether with a towel, the end ot which she fastened toa peg high up on the wall, so that I could only Just reach the floor with the tips or ray toes. Miss Margaret then gave rae a severe flogging. Find? ing i was obstinate, arter a minute or two she de? sisted and left the room, leaving me with the maid. I tried bard to get og the peg, but could not. When Miss Margaret returned she asked me whether I was sorry ? "No !" I shouted. "Then I must whip you again," she said, stdting the ac? tion to the word. This second whipping was too much for my spirit, and I begged for forgiveness. Thc rest of thc day I did not cease crying, not SJ much from the pain as rrom mortification that I had met my match and been conquered. Strange as lt may seem, from that day I may say to the present I have loved Miss Margaret, and felt her to be a true friend. As I believe great benefit has resulted In my case from corporal punishment, I think it right to advocate lt, for I know from ob? servation that lt our faults arc not corrected when we arc young, we generally suffer lu a far harder school wbeu we grow up. THE STAGE. -Mdlle. Nilsson is, according to L'Histoire, about to be married to "a rich young man well kuown in the financial world." -Mr. Bouclcanlt has been offered ?20,ooo for two hundred and fifty farewell performances In America. -Among the new operas underlined for pro duction during the coming season at Drury Lane, in London arc Mozart's "Oca del Cairo,'' Weber's "Abu Hassan," Wagner's "Flying Dutchman," and Cbernblnt's "Deux Journles." -Mduie. Tutti docs not stand alone In thc honor or being decorated by the Czar. Other artists thus distinguished were and are Rublnl, Eaoiacbe, Tamburin 1, Angelina Bosio, and lu more recent days, Colzolarl, thc primo tenorc or the Kaltaus. -The actress most adored at this moment in London ls MissRousby, who plays Queen Ellzn bhth In Tom Taylor's "Twixt Ax aud Crown." People rave about her beautiful blue eyes, her fair hair, her One features, her enchanting smile, and, as an envious critic says, "everything that Is h rs, except her husband." She ls said to bean Admiral's daughter, a native of Jersey. -A new lastruraent, the typophone, has been exhibited in private circles In Paris. It ls of thc pianoforte species, composed of ordinary diapa? sons, tuned to the gamut and struck by piano hammers. The sound ls described as silvery, re? sembling a bell, and more pen erat lu g than a harp. Altogether, the effect of a fantasia on "La Pro? ph?te" played on this instrument is reported as satisfactory, and In some respects powerful. -Mr. T. W. Robertson, the dramatic author, ls very seriously lil, and his friends greatly fear that he may not recover. For many years th ls now well known writer led a very struggling life, and, Indeed, was for some time io actual poverty. His wifo, who cheered him through lils arduous struggles, died just before he attained success ; and now that bis "Home," "School," and other pieces have brought him botli rame ant) profit, he ls struck down with pulmonary disease. -A correspondent at Valparaiso writes that a certain Mlle. Geraldine ls exciting the wonder and delight of "those distant populations" by her performance In Offenbach's operas. She hus already appeared as the Grand Duchess, as Eury? dice and as Boulotte. "The Valparalslans," say s thc correspondent, "are little accustomed to these astounding representations," but he modestly adds, "they wish for nothing better than to get used to them." v -The Londan Theatrical Review says: Really some one ought to tell the Prince of Wales that he ls making himself supremely ridiculous by sending, as he docs, for actors and actresses into lils box when he visits the theatre, aud tendering them Ids congratulations in person. At first he used to conflue this mark of favor to managers and manageresses. Then he extended it to lead? ing actors cf the type or Mr. Sothern and M r. Toole. On his last visit to thc Strand he sent for Miss Burton and Mr. J. S. Clarke. We shall next expect to find him seudlug for the scene-painter and the leader of the orchestra. If his Royal Highness wishes to confer such unusual and pub? lic marks o'approbation, he might go on to the stage after the termination of the pljce, and per? mit thc curtain to be raised upon the affecting tableau of royal gratPude-the Heir Apparent tendering his thanks to thc entire company. -The scanda! or female gymnastics ii exciting the pres? and Hie authorities or London. A Ger? man female gymnast has bjen walking ou a wire crty feet ab ive the pit of tne Holborn Circus, with her little child on her shoulders. To look up llfty feet at a woman skipping about on an invisible wire was a great delight, but to watch u mother and child In such peril was ecstasy, and the house was crowded nightly. The police commissioners wrote to thc managers and requested them to leave out the baby. Dlondin and Leotard, an d three hundred Imitators, drew well for a time, but people got tired of them. Then there were female Blondlns and Leotards, and now every music hall in England has Its troupes of female gymnasts and acrobats, appearing as naked as sc many Sooth Sea Islanders, la the most grotesqu? and perilous positions, for a little mouey and mach applause. One woman, said to bc French, carries her husband and three well-grown children round thestageon her shoulders; anothei throws herself from tho flying trapeze, and if caught in mid-air by a man swinging head down ward, holding by his toes forty feet above tin footlights. Such performances as these, with t crash of music, a glare or tinsel, and a cram met house, filled with thc fumes 0.' gin, beer and to bacco, constitute the nightly amusements of pey haps ha'.r a million or the enlightened Brltlsl public. -It is stated that the machine power or Eng iand and WuleB ls comoetent to perform the labo of nearly six hundred millions of men, and I probably greater In productive capacity than th labor power of all the world beside. The mach?n power of the United States, though growing witl amazing rapidity, does not more than equal th labor power ol' two hundred millions of men. (Iiiina, Orockwrj, #c.
