By the arrival of the B \ h ig Tin lied r , from

mercial intelligence is not of much importance.
We do not discover any thing respecting Cotton.
The Cholera was subsiding.
Bur latest advices from Europe, respecting

at that period, indicated a gradual improvement
in die article. Wo liave great confidence or

holders in the middle of the week to procure
(letter prices in the medium qualities, and a few
dry lots may have to ought a slight advance t but
it is believed that to day, purchases for these

established. In choice cottons ,however, there
is a permanent improvement. They may be es

from all we can learn from the I’lautcrsaisl the

to the cabin but seldom perceptible. We had a
tjuiik passage to S.u aimai. -about 22 hours,inehi
ding the night—but, o wing to the Itiggv weather,
and delay iu waiting for tiro tides, were near 3
days between there and Charleston, where, by

servile—sketching only tile selfish, cdOternpti- r

unmitigated by an'y 6fits rneritorioUs traits, for t

' it doubtless will do, into a foreign land, as an
acknowledged specimen of Yankee character,
1 could not but be astonished that it should have
been recognised as such, by the \ utikees ritetu

The Theatre, at Mr. 11.act;ki t's Benefit, was
very much crowded, as it was also throughout
the 11 ice week, and, I understand,had becti pre
viously, since its opening. 1 was much gratified
it this, for liie sake of our old friend Dk Camt ;
as it would put “money in his purse,” and lie
much deservesjt, and will makegood use of
not only for bis own benefit, bfit that of tlie llrama
also, and the public, which is not a little inleres
ed, or ought to be in its weilare. Since the
strangers have mostly left tile city, the attend
ance bus been less numerous, though still con
siderable! and the citizens complain that Urn
company is too weak in numbers. I understand
Mr. l)t Camp designs shortly to unite his per
formers now in Augusta and hero, bringing out
the whole here tor a while, and then go on with
thorn to Augusta—and thus present one very
large and respectable company—which would
doubtless much more than prapo.tionably in
crease the receipts and prod's, in both places.
The building is large, capable, I presume, of
containing about fourteen hundred persons, and
handsomely fitted up, iu scenery, decorations,
&c. But its interior construction struck me as
stitf, awkward.|and|out ot taste. '1 lie circle ol
the Boxes is 100 narrow, in proportion to the
size of the stage —extends much too fur back for
ks width—and is 100 straight on each side, from j
the rear to the stage—giving it a \ cry long, con i
i fined, and sldf appearance. The custom of the
ladies sitting in the I’it, and crowded up there
promiscuously among the gentlemen, when
there is room for thorn in the dress circle, scorned
to mo entirely in had taste. Perhaps, however,
they go there in the hope of finding lire gentle
men moie polite and gallant llian in lire Boxes,
where we noticed, to »tir astonishment, that
rnatlv sit in font of them, in various places, with
the most Careless indillereiice, and often even j

Mr. Ei'ltor : —We witnessed the perform
ance of Miss Ur aha F'Ohkr, on Monday evc
j ning last, and find that Clara is herself still,
j To her known youth and beauty, she, seems to
add an increasing force and correctness. Blur
is more interesting now than 1 remember ever
to have seen her before. She is, in the strictest
sense of the word, the actress ofnaloie. To
bo able to appreciate Miss F’isher’s talents, it is
li st necessary to know the character in which
she appears, for unless we do this, we arc ana
blu to pmceivo with what admirable correctness
she plays her parts. islie is certainly one of the
fi st players now in America. When I use this
strong language, 1 would be understood to speak
with respect to the line of characters in which
she plays. There are two parts of Miss F'isii
i t; s acting ia which she seems more particu
larly to excel; first, in her conect conception
id the character, which we may discover by
seeing that her acting is always perfectly natural,
and, in the second place, in the versatility of her '
talents. It she i lay the part of a young lady 1
in line, vve can scarcely keep from falling in j
love with her ourselves. I suppose that w e are I
tnllnonced by the sympathetic emotion of love.* 1
ll she play the part of a child’, you at once see 1
in her vacant look, the barren mind of infancy. ,
film seems to understand well the ait of mao- <
aging her countenance. Those large and ele-if
gaol blue eyes, can, iff nffNnstant, flash fire, o.- ‘
melt into pity or lov'e. Fn short, there is no one
who lias ever watched the expression of her c
eyes, but will say, that with them she can "speak '
like angels, IrUmpel-tongued,” llic language of c
nature, which all the world must understand I
We sincerely hope that the people of Augusta it
will give Miss Fisher that reception which her S
superior talents and excellent character deserves. j

Mn. Enhon I have never had the pleasure | a
of seeing you, hut I ant free to say, that I re- • o
member to have been very much pleased with a j c
pamphlet bearing your natno as author, and en- .
titled a “Dcfeftco of the Drama.” Judging
Ci out your remarks in tins pamphlet, I would pre- s
gumc that you feel disposed to publish, for those s
who arc willing to say something on the amuse- (]
, n enis of the Theatre. Politics ought to he fre- .
i|uonlly and candidly discussed before the pub- j t
tie, but 1 have no doubt, sir, that you will agree | '
with me, when I say that if our newspapers con- , (
tamed more’literary, and less political matter, ;
that sdciety would be more enlightened and so- , t
cial. We must have some amusements, those, . J
then, are most worthy of notice winch, while j (
they serve to enlighten the mind, better the ; (
heart. Such amusements arc aflorded by all <
Well written Plays. That disposition • f the . >
mind which induces it to grasp at something j
grand l.nd elevated, and which makes it form ,
out now creations upon which it delights to |
dwell, has been remarked by Lord Paco* as
one of the noblest characteristics of ihc human j
mind. j
\Ve arc not surprised to find so lew good ac- |
tors, when we relied on the great dillieully ol | j
acting well. A novelist, when lie introduces aj,
. bar actor, not only gives him words, hut he also 1
describes the oiled of passion on his speaker, j
The writer of a Play can only give the words of
the dialogue, and leave that part oflhe per form
ante Which represents llio effects of passion to
the actor s and the fewest number am able to 1
represent passion up to the life. In tins part ol
tiding, Miss Pistil h seems to be peculiarly hap
py m her efforts. .Miss Pisimfs Maid nf Mint- ;
ster, is, indeed, “ perfection." Shu played Ert
tk I'icUr with Ivor usual correctness and anima
tion. Wo consider her song, Since then I'm
doomat, as one of her happiest clliirts. She
danced the bailor's Hornpipe. so w.,1! tint many i
