Tho piny selected for the occasion is Othello, ■ Mr. B. taking tho part of the crafty /ago, ono of | his best characters. We are glad to learn thnt several sents hnve already been engaged, nnd that ; the prospect of a large and fashionable audience is i very flattering. No compliment could bo moro : deserved; for ns a close student, a good render, a ! graceful speaker and a faithful •dellnetito*. the I beneficiary hns hut few equals upon American ! bonrds. Discarding nil rant and stage trick, he ! takes nature for his stundnrd, and conforms to I Hamlet’s pithy instructions—to “suit the notion to ; tho word, tho word to the action, with this special observance, that you o’erstep not the modesty of nature.” Persons desirous of procuring good scats should apply in season. :Z-H" Persons wishing to see a genuine curlosi- | ty, should make a visit to the “ Wild Men of Bor- j nco,”now on exhibition next door to our office. Col. Williams has laid on our tub'e the | October number—a very interesting one—of the j Westminster Review. ySi" The Trustees of the South Carolina Col- j lege have elected Professor Charles, F. McKay, | late of the I'niversity of Georgia. President of the I College. It gives us pleasure to record this fact, | and we cannot but think tho Trustees have acted ! wisely. It would seem thnt their ostimnte of Pro. | feasor McKay’s zeal and capacity differs very j widely from that of Dr. Church. Narrow Escape.—Wo learn thnt yosterdny i afternoon, ns Mr. Geo. H. Johnson, Agent of the ; Iron Steamboat Company, wus passing nt the head 1 of the Company’s wharf, by some accident a bale i of cotton tipped over from a pile nnd knocked him overboard. Not being n swimmer, ho would have drowned, but for the timely assistance of a negro man, who rescued him. Cotton Stalk Hemp. A specimen of hemp made out of the cotton stalk hns been Intel on our tnble by Messrs. Rowland A , Son, of this city. Tho following letter, received by them from a leading commercial house in New York, cannot fail to interest our southern renders : New Yobk, I»cc. 1st, 1855. 1 Gentiemen:—We enclose you n sample of hemp made ' from what you Georgia planter* consume every year In preparing your fields—I. t\. tho cotton stalk. We would i ■end you a larger sample if you wish it, that the planters ' generally may seo for themselves to what extensive use i th« plant can Iks applied. We are informed that it is not only good for rope, hut very good paper tan be made from it. If such should lie the case, there w ill he no necessity of your plauters going to California to hunt for gold. | We are yours respectfully, D. St Co. I Should it turn out thnt rope nnd paper enn he 1 manufactured frota the cotton stalk, the wealth nnd influence of the southern Stntcs would ho prodi- 1 giousiy increased. The paper consumed in the U. States alone cannot cost much less than $25,000,000 a year, and throughout the world it must amount to over $100,000,000. To supply this dcinnnd has now become very difficult; so much so, indeed, that fears aro entertninod lest tho price of paper, now exorbitantly dear, must go still higher, in consequence of tho limited supply of pulp nnd the impossibility of keeping the production up to the demand. The specimen of hemp before us seems to ho of a superior quality. Tho fibres uro distinct, flexi ble and Btrong, and when mado into thread and then into rope, would bo equal, wo should think, to tho best article now in use. Florida Finances, Gov. Broome Iiuh sent in his Message to tho Florida Legislature now in session nt Tallahassee. It is of proper length, well written, nnd confined to State affairs. The following shows the financial condition of the State : Expenditures for fiscal year just closed, $55,3(15 19 Receipts at Treasury same period (IN,301 50 Showing deficiency of. $17,(WO 09 A table giving tho receipts and expenditures for the post ten years shows au nniiiml averngo defi ciency of over nine thousand dollars. The State debt amounts to $1*1,872 02, of which one hundred and six(y thousand is hearing inter- I cst, and adds annually to the debt nearly ten thou sand dollars. The Governor very properly con- | damns the timidity that hus allowed (hit debt to ' accumulate through a fear to exercise tho taxing power. The Hocrctnry or the Hussiau Legation, who came passenger in the steamer Washington, was robbed in Washington Saturday of five hundred Holland ducuts, valued at about $1,000. Tho Editor of tho Columbus Corner Stone gives the following reason for the interest that journal has manifested in the subject or Kansas omigrn- gration. It says: “We feel no interest in the Kiiiiniui question, ex cept that resulting from the hope that they may get up a difficulty over It, which limy by possibility re uit in a dissolution of the Union. We would not. for uny other benefit *wc expect the South to dori\o from it, turn on our luel for choice whether it shull be u free or a slave Slate.” Georgia Leigtslatur*. Our correspondence from Mlllodgovlllo, whioh wo publish this morning, presents several Items of in terest. It will bo soon that both houses have agreed to a resolution to take a recess from tho 20th instant to the socond Monday in January. TIiobo recesses hnvo grown into a custom under our system of bi ennial sessions, and will, doubtloss, he kept up as long ns the system lasts, it being utterly impossi ble to get through with the necessary business of the Legislature by Christians. Wo have ulreudy annual sessions de facto, nnd thoro is no reason why the law should uot ho made to couforiu. Tho resolutions of Mr. Torhuno ure just such irrelevant stuff ns is uuminltyttlirowii in to tho Le gislature tu cronto n stir, or to grutify tho vauity of some political aspirant at the expense of tho time and moruy of tho country. Wo hope the wholo butch of them will be summurily laid under the ta ble. By the way, If the Tariff of 1840 is “uncon stitutional, inexpedient, oppressive and unjust,” and tho expenditures of tho last Congress uro “ wasteful ami corrupt,” “ obnoxious to a free peo ple nnd destructive to our government,” ns uileged in those resolutions, how comes it that Mr. Ter bium is still holding on to tho Democratic party, who did it nil? A nice account, indeed, for a man to give of his own people ! In rogurd to tho ajqwoprintion for Kntisns, wo have no objection to any citizen giving to the ob ject the last cent his purse will justify, but wo are most umphnticully opposed to tho conversion of tho Stuto of Ucorgin into a colonization society, nnd the uso of tho pooplo's money to curry out it ob jects. While opposed to tho pnssngc of tho resolutions, wc must confess that, ns n matter of curiosity, wo would bo glad to scu the lust separated from its as sociates, and brought to a voto boforo tho present Legislature. .Should it puss, in whnt an nwkwnrd predicament it would plnco at least two of tho pre sent leaders of tho pnrty! Tho hill to reduce tho number of mombors of tho Legislature is the spccinl order in tho Scnuto for to-day. Wo believe the hill only contemplates a change in the Semite, which hns grown up of lute iuto most ridiculous proportions. It is not only expensive, nnd inimical to tho design of a Senatorial body, but it hns no parallel in nny other State in tho Union. Wo annex n lew for the pur pose of comparison : Georgiu hns 112 Senators; New York 32; Pennsylvania 33; Virginia 50 ; N. Carolina 50; South Carolina 45; Alabama 33; Kentucky 38; Ohio 35. The extreme anxiety of Gov. Johnson’s friends in the Semite to avoid on investigation into the nfluirs of the Stuto Road looks nnything but favor able to a faithful management of tho work. If tho trust has been abused, tho people have a right to know it—if faithfully executed, Gov. Johnson’s friends are doing him great injustice by their at tempts to smother an investigation. American National Convention. Wc porcoiro that E. B. Bartlett, Esq., President of the Anicricun Nutionnl Council, has issued a call upou the various Congressional Districts in the States, to send up dclogntcs to a National Con vention to assemble in Philadelphia 22d February next, to nominate a candidate for the Presidency. Wc hnvo a word of comment on this call. Tho tiny specified wns originally nnnied by the Phila delphia Convention, and it hns already been ob jected to by the party in many of tho Stntcs, as premature. Wo sympathise with tho objectors. We consider nny conclusive action nt this tiino, seeking to commit the pnrty and pledgo its suf frage to any body in tho coming election, ns both hasty and impracticable. In the present disorder thut reigns throughout the ranks of nil untional parties, and tho uncertainty thnt hnngs around the future aspect of affairs, it is simply impossible to procure nny thing like harmony in nny movement that may he made at the present day. Wo prefer to wait for developments; to watch tho alignments in the halls of Congress; to scan tho moves on the political chessboards of tho Northern States—in n word, to know whither wo are going, nnd whom wo arc to meet when wo get there. The present position of the American parly in the Southern States is a proud nnd lofty one. Pa triotic in its origin nnd aims, the offspring of tho noblest impulses of man, nnturo—love of our own, our native land—nnd seeking to eradicate the evils that hnve grown up in its bnsoin, whether germinating nt home in the corruptions of pnrty, or inflicted upon us by the baleful disgorgements of sickly and suffering Europe, let no wrongful ni l. no impure association imperil our principles or corrupt our union. So far ns the Americans of Georgia aro concern ed. they have laid down their landmarks and re solved to stand by them. Thnt our brethren of other States may see the terms on which we arc willing to co-operate with them in the nomination and election of a President, wo publish below a resolution passed nt the Mncon Convention in June last: Resolred, 0th, That this Council (while repudia ting the policy of allowing, in tho future legisla tion of the country, unnaturalized foreigners to vote in Territorial elections,) regards all opposi tion to the principles of the Ncbrnskn-Knnsns net, in relation to slavery, ns hostility to the constitu tional rights of the South s and all persons who partake in such opposition as unfit to he recognized as members of the American Party. Interesting Foreign Items. A curious poiht of law lias just been decided by a county court judge ut Exeter. The question was whether an inhabitant of a town wus nt liberty to keep ntiimals whose noise proved a serious an noyance to their neighbors. It was shown on tho pnrt of a Mr. Abraham that his neighbor, Mr. Minty, had a cock which crowed 150 times in 25 minutes. The learned judge thought this wns an amount of crowing which humnn nuturo wns not bound to put up with, and awurded to the plaintiff Is. dntnngcs. Dr. F. Moul, Professor «t the University of Heidelberg, lias discovered in tho Monastery of St. Paul, in Corinthin, a manuscript of the elder Pliny, containing nearly tho wholo of tho seventh pnrt of the Natural History, lib. 11 to 14. The clerks in the telegraph office nt Berlin are to ho locked up during the time of business, nnd for two or threo hours afterwards, so thnt they may not ho nblo to betray tho secrets of customers. This precaution has been found indispensable. A letter from Tiflis, in tho A etc Prussian Ga- *ettc, states thnt when tho Persian nmhassndor ar rived there, asingulnr fact, characteristic of Orien tal manners, occurred. All tho Persinn subjects inhabiting Tiflis had placed themselves in n row to the right of the direction taken by the ambassa dor in bis solemn entry. Ench matt held u sheep, und ns the enrringe passed by, they raised their knives, and sacrificed the aniinul, such being tho manner in which the Persians celebrate a great so lemnity. Reports nro current in tho European papers, thnt tho health of tho Pope is very indifferent nnd his intellect much enfeebled. This confirms tho state, incut made some three weeks since. An unusunl number of Russians are nt Baden this season; among them the hoii of Prince Gorts- chnkoir (Crimea). Thu .Sardinians arc anxiously awaiting the arri val, at Gcnon, of some cannon taken at Sevnsto- pol. The French Minister nt Turin hns prosecuted the I’it-dmonteso journal, II iJiritto, und hns had tho editor condemned to fourteen dnys’ imprison ment and 200 francs fine, for having inserted cor- reqiondonce hostile to Frnncc. Mooch.— Prentice, of tho Louisville Journal, is terribly disgruntled nt tho way the ladies are be having now in tho matter of dress of a particular kind. Jle says: A correspondent asks us to “take off” the hoop- petticoat, We cannot take it off, hut wo heartily w ish that some of our female acquaintances would. Certainly fashion never dictated a more ungraceful and senseless mode. It is a gross libel upon the taste jilxl judgment of 1)0 sex. Rebellion against such a fashion is simply fidelity to womanhood. Of course we shall offer no apology for speaking of a thing that so obtrudes itself upon every body’s no. lice, nnd runs into nearly every body’s convenience. H it were a mere private hideoiisness, the ease might ho different, hut it is soriensJy a public nuisance, inhere are not delicacy and indepen- delicti enough in fashionable society to abate it, it must bo alialcd by the strong arm of ridicule.— Wc me greatly tempted to republish No. 127 of tho Spectator, but forbear for tho present.

Tho most interesting feature in the Houso pro ceedings to-day, was tho consideration of tho hill, introduced by Mr. Jones of Muscogee, to commuto the punishment of John T. Boyd, to tup years at hard labor. Tho bill was ruled out, Col. Millodgo in tho chair, ns not being within tho jurisdiction of tho General Assembly. There was a good deni of discussion thereupon, in which Messrs. Jones nud Thornton of Muscogeo nnd Harris of Fulton, sup ported the constitutionality of the hill, and Messrs. Lawton of Chutham and Crook of Chattooga op posed it. The decision of tho Chair was sustain ed, years nays 31. Thu Sounto bill pardoning Boyd, will eomo up to-morrow ns tho spccinl order. Tho House took up the Senate’s resolution and preamble, providing for a recess from tho 20th inst. to the 2nd Monday in January. Mr. Lewis of Hancock proposed to substitute “24th inst.,” for tho “20th"—lost. Mr. Luwton to substitute “2nd Monday in November next,” for 2nd Monday in January, and to strike out the prcnmhlo of tho resolution—lost. Tho original resolution was then agreed to, ayes 80—nays 31. BILLS INTIlODl’CKD. By Mr. Hoyle of DuKalb, to clmngo tho time for holding tho January nnd October elections in this State, from the first Monday to the first Wednes day in those months. By Mr. Barrow of Jones, to exempt from jury duty nil regularly graduated Physicians in this State, licensed by tho Medical Board—except in cases involving idiocy and lunacy. By Mr. Harris of Meriwether, a hill amenda tory of tho Constitution and giving to tho Legisla ture the power to commute punishment for capitnl offences, punishment never to bo less thun ten years at hard labor. By Mr. Lewis of Hancock, to incorporate the “Planter’s Club of Hancock county.” By Mr. Whitworth, to form a now county from Hull, Gwinnett nnd Wnlton. By Dr. Phillips of Habersham, a bill which pro vides that it shall hereafter ho lawful, so fur ns Justices, Courts arc concerned, for sttpicnus to be issued nnd personally served, ten dnys beforo the sitting of the Court, instead of 30 days as now required by law. Mr. Terhuno of Floyd, introduced the following string of resolutions: Itcsulnd, Thut the Joint Committee on tho State of the Republic, be requested to report upon the propriety of making an appropriation in favor of tho Kansas Emigrant Aid Society, of this Stuto. Ilcsolved, Thut a Protective Tariff is unconstitu tional, unequal, inexpedient, oppressive and unjust. Resolve^ That the TnrilY of 1840, inasmuch as it produces more revenue than tho Government re quires, hns become, to nil intents nnd purposes, a protective tariff, and is not a Revenue tariff, Resolved, Thnt the wnsteful and corrupt expen diture of tho public money, as evidenced by the in creased allowance to Collins A Co., of $470,000, for mail carriage from New York to Liverpool, nnd other appropriations of like character, nro obnox ious to a free people, destructive of our Govern ment, nnd deleterious to the interest of our people. Resolved, That our Senators aro instructed, nnd our Representatives requested, to exert themselves to have the Revenue reduced to tho wants of an economical Government, by reducing the Tariff on all nrtielcs of primo necessity, and to oppose with nil their power, the profuse, corrupt, and uncon stitutional appropriations of tho public money. Resolved, Thnt Franklin Pierce hns honestly nnd ably discharged his duty to nil tho American people, nnd thnt wo earnestly recommend him to thnt people for ro-clection. SENATE. As I predicted yesterday, the resolution author izing an investigation of State Road a flairs, wns called up this morning for reconsideration.— Messrs. Wingfield of Putnam and Long of Glynn, supported the reconsideration on the ground that tlio verbiage of (be resoiutli in wns a retlcciioii upon JI is Excellency, tlio (luvuruor. Tlio otlioun i>oii- tence is a short ono authorizing die investigating committee to ascertain if the rates of freight are equal or unequal, partial or impartial. This might he, nnd yet 110 blame attach to the Executive, bunco I do not see the “odious." The resolution wus re considered ntjil laid on the table for the present.— Col. Wales of Muscogee opposed the reconsidera tion, but took occasion to bear testimony to tlio high diameter or tho Governor, and tlio Supcrin- tenilant of tho Hoad. He also disclaimed for him self and the American Party, nny desire to make eapitnl out of the investigation. This disclaimer, I would remark, has been repeatedly mado by speakers of that pnrty, but sumo of the antics w ill hnvo it, thut wo want to insult the Governor anil ruin them. Most of them say, they are not oppo sed to scrutiny, but to tlio extraordinary powers of the committee, or, to tlio terms of the document authorizing investigation; others again: oppose any investigation nt nil. You know I am not a suspi cious individual, but really first nnd lust, betwixt nnd between, nnd after all this pow-wow, I think I discern a faint odor of n "mice”—not very strung, hut still perceptible. The bill reducing the number of Senators nnd Representatives wns made tho special order for Friday. Hope it will pass.

Mr. McDonald’s resolution, authorizing tho com mittee on Judiciary to report on tho propriety of abolishing the Penitentiary, nnd making some changes (thereby made necessary) in the criminal Jaws—laid on tbc table for the present, on motion of Mr. Long. Messrs McDonald and Allred, sup ported tho resolution; they did not think peniten tiary punishment severe enough—it wns not a terror to evil doers. Mr. Peeples opposed the res olution—abolition of the Penitentiary would* bo a step backwards. Severity of punishment was not always a preventive of crime—witness South Caro lina with her sanguinary code. There wns less crime in Georgia, in proportion to population, than in any stale that he knew of, Ac. Bill to add tho county of Carroll to the Fourth Congressional District. Passed—of course. Bill to incorporate tho city of Brunswick— Passed. Bill to incorporate Atlantn Female College.— Passed. Bill to allow certain persons to practice medi cine on tho new “Botanic and German" plan.— Lost. Bill to rcpnnl tho act of last session, requiring weighers of Cotton, Ac., to he sworn. Lost. Mr. Wales said the bill was for tho benefit of planters who hail to pay for tho weighing by a sworn weigher. [I had always understood that it was to please planters, not willing to trust weighers with out an oath, that tho “swearing law” was enacted.] Bill to repeal tho act of Inst session in reference to the grnuting of new trials. Pnsscd. Bill to define the liabilities of Railroad Compa nies for injury to person nnd property, was taken up. It provides thnt Companies shall ho Hnldo for injury resulting from tho carelessness, negligcnco or improper conduct of themselves or their agents, nny notice of company to tlio contrary notwith standing; also makes tho company liable for inju ry done one agent or employee through negligence, etc., of nnothcr. Mr. Pope moved to striko out tho last named fep- turc—not acted on. Mr. Calhoun supported tho bill, tn a lengthy speech. Mr. Millor spoke also nt length ngainst it: if pnsscd it would almost overwhelm Railroad Companies with damages, while ttulso denied yiein the privilege of mnking rules absolutely necessary. Judge Cono moved to amend so as to require no tice of suit for dnmnges to bo given the Supcrin- dent or some depot agent; and to roquiro suit to be brought in tho county where injury is done. Accepted by Mr. Calhoun. Judge C. then spoko at some length in favor of the hill. Mr. Nichols opposed it. Finally, it went through by a voto of 05 to 11. P.

B.—So my gait offuidod theo, iny dear ! Pray tell mo why thou art alone to-night ?—this scorns “ somewhat unseemly in a Indy.” S.—Alone! You tonoh mo tenderly. I am alone, for want of friends. Wreeked in nil my hopes— foiled in all my plans—abandoned by our wise legislators, whose patriotism and State pride I had reckoned on—I sought tho evening nir to cool my brow; and hoped to Hootha my spirits with tho loveliness of night. B.—You sponk of blasted bopos. If not imper tinent, whnt were thy hopes? S.—Can it he that you hiuc yet heard nnuglit of them? Know you not my mission iu Milludgc- villo ? Then will I tell thoe. Like thyself, I am a soeker for Stuto aid. Tou have heard of my llnilroad schemes, and all the scrvico I have done tho Stnto—how, thnt in days gone by, my riches huvo, like water, been pouted out to proinoto her glory. Now, well-nigh impoverished, I humbly sue that she whom I have helped, will now help me. But alas! tliuso hopes. I learn, nro vain. You, Madame, I am told, will be the first in order—and the last for aid. Ourlegalators, overwhelmed with petitioners, will give thy claim precedence.

We nro great favorites nt Court. S.—Ah! ha!. I see. I hnvo heard of powers behind tho throne—“Hire Indies,” nnd “prime ministers,” nnd “ confidential ndvisers ”—blit did m,t think thnt such voro found in u Republic. II.—(Aside.) How innocent! (Aloud.) Well, my dour, if—I say if—you can get tho royal car, it is well to circulate that fact among those who nro to aid you. And if tho next General Assembly should he beset, ns this ii, with scores of petition ers, tell it about, privately, thnt Ilis Excellency will never sign hills to necoiiunodnto such a host; thnt if they come in a crowd, awed by so vast a multitude, and fearful of overwhelming tho Stnto, he will, in self-defence, veto tho hatch. But also sny, that having his roysl ear, you feel confident tlmtyoiir application, if it were to coino up first, and alone, might meet bis sanction.

You nro an apt scholar. I hnvo spoken in parables, but you thoroughly understand me. Ono thing more, however, and you will have ' the whole lesson. Keep yourself prominently be fore the Legislature, in bills und resolutions intro duced every three or four dnys.

I do not think it right, and wish not to lny up for myself a store of regrets, ns a canker on my splon- dor. No ! I will go boforo our legislators solely on tlio merits of my claim ; I will tell them whnt I have (lone for tho State. To their honor, their justico and tlmir pride of State, will I appeal, un aided by Court, Colonel or “exterior compression.” B.— Then, my dear, you will get no aid. Take my advice. The timo is past for mo to hate you.— Already do my wharves brighten up with sails, nnd my streets begin to hum. Pity, not hate, I shall hereafter feel for you. Therefore, let mo ndvico you. Go homo to-morrow; drop your fogy ism, and all those antiquated ideas about propriety ; get ready for next, session. I will then bo out of your way, and surely you can outwit the rest of your competitors, 8.—Thou tempter!

I nui first on docket, anil that is nil / nsk. But n word before wo pnrt. Do send me, when you go home, a score or two ot good ship ping merchants. I shall soon need them. S.—Good night, Brunswick. But stay—I, too, will pul n parting question. Where is the l’rm- dont of thy Rond? Mcthought I saw him lately in the Capital. II.—Iln! ha! Yon did. But I hnvo sent him home. JJe didn't "lake" iu Milledgeville, nnd staid but a few hours. For tho present, ho is sleighing in the State of New York, for all I know. But lie will turn up iu duo time. Good night. 8.—Good night, Madame. Good night. Colo nel; I regret I i-imnot find employment for you. Lotus be friends, however; and once more, good night. Mei'Iiistoi'Iioi.eh. For the Republican. An Hour at the Athrntruia. “Tho Iron Chest” la a play, which being defec tive in interest as to incident, rests all its claims to merit oi^the portrayal of passion ; and them- lore, to rivet tho attention of an audience, requires particularly good acting and u vicar conception of character. Wo need hardly tell those who hnve been fortunate enough to see Mr. Bennett iu his grent impersonations of Hamlet, Macbeth, and laijo, thut he portrayed to the life tho fierce, gloomy and stern Mortimer, at 011c moment writhing un der the lush of remorse, at another trembling for tho security of his honor; and certainly if the per formance did not go off with much eclat, the blame cannot be iuiputud to him. Wilfurd—tlio artless, childless, simple secretary —was undertaken by Miss Louise Reeder, Na ture has been kind enough to bestow on this lady n very beautiful face and considerable talent,—and she must pardon us when wo suy that in our opin ion, sho is fully nwnro ( of tho former and has no small csiimuto of tho latter. Now, wo hold it a fixed axiom, that an ugly woman hus a perfect right to make herself 11s ill-looking as she chooses ; uo ono is expected to regard her very closely, nnd provided sho ucts her pnrt well, the public is satis fied. But what right has Miss Reeder to commit such treason against Nature, who has been so kind to her ? Wlmt right has sho to twist her mouth, to roll her eyes, to distort her wholo fuco, and gener ally to disfigure herself, when there was no earth ly occasion for it ? What necessity wns there for such violent heaving, such dismnl groaning, such superlative sighing, and such utinntui*l weakness of the muscles of the neck ? Surely the terror of Wilford did not develops itself thus : if it hud, Mortimer could have easily conccnlcd both Wilford mid his secret in the most hidden retreats of Bed lam. Then again in the last act, one would think thnt the robbers hud stolen from tho poor youth even his wits ; for, in tho scene whercifl he is accused by Mortimer, ho stamps about so mclodrumuticnlly, and declaims so bombastically, thut we have no pa tience with him. Tho great fault with Miss Reeder’s acting is, thnt sho cannot forget, even for n moment, the existence of herself und her benuty. She strains too much for effect, and thus, instcud of being effective, appears affected. Why did she suddenly stop, in tho midst of a terrible fit of pant ing, blowing, sighing and heaving, to repair some slight disarrangement of her curls ? Why did she, ns Meg Overreach, while actually trembling under her terrible father's eye, suddenly break into a broad smile nt something certainly not in the text ? The smile was very pretty, but it was not acting ; nor did “tho beggarly array of empty boxes”jus tify it. Sho is nlso too lbnd of “tearing n passion to tatters” 5 nnd it would bo better for her if sho would set aside thnt affectation in her enunciation, which leads her to accentuate every syllabic of a word, and speak her pnrt moro “ trippingly o’er the tongue.” Wo would advise her, ere she plays IVilford again, to read Mr. Godwin's famous novel, from which the play is taken. Messrs. .Morton and Bellamy acted well, ns they always do. The former of these gentlemen com bines, with a graceful enrriago and fine figure, a just conception of character, and a perfect knowl edge of his pnrt; he is justly a favorite in Suvnn- nah. There is ono actor, Mr. Stanley, whom wc never see appear, that wc do not involuntarily paraphrase Mnriuion. nnd exclaim, “ off, Stanley, off!” This gentleman is the founder of a new nnd peculiar school of ucting, tho chief characters of which appear to bo n total ignorance of his pnrt, a most extraordinary power of making himself ri diculous, and a loud nnd defiant tunc of voice, which is very fine in his own conceit, nnd very tell ing on tho nerves of tho audience. It may be call ed n branch of tho ha-ha school. Could not the noble Stanley ho sent to coneolc the ex-King of Dcumnrk, nc Fredericks? There has sprung up ou this Stage the most ex traordinary style of elocution nnd pronunciation that wc have ever heard. The delivery is a sc ries of bursts—as if every word wns druwn out with an explosion—pop, pop ; bang, bung— : just ns if the tongue nnd lips were a militia company and tlio words were a scattering feu-de-joiv. As to the pronunciation, wo heard “wainscotting” called “ wninskirting”—“prudence,” “prudineo”, — the 'deuce being lengthened out wllli a must lugu brious nnd sonorous twang. Time wns when tho English Stage was the standard of language : but Unit appears to have gone out in Savannah, when the “legitimate drama” came in. We hnve exceeded our limits nnd shall have to sny a word of tho Manager’s acting in our next. COMMERCIAL RECORD. SAVANNAH WHOLESALE IMUCKN CURRENT. A i i teles.

Tottlebkn.—Tho following biogrnphicnl notice of General TotU.cbcn we take from the Xeic Prus sian Uaiette:— “Francis Edward Tottlebon wns born nt Mitnu, in Coitrtlund, on the 20th of May, ISIS. His father was J. 11. Tottlcben, nnd his mother's maiden name wns A. Sophia Sunder. His father having removed his business to Riga, took there his young son, nnd soon after died. After receiving the first portion of his education in tho schools of Riga, the young TottlCbcn wns received nt tho C'ollcgo of Engineers in St. Petersburg, where his name now shines, engraved in letters of gold with the in scription, “Sevastopol.” When the wnr broke out 1 c wns second captain in the corps of field engi neers; lie distinguished himself under General Sehildcr in tho Dnitubian campaign and repaired to the Critneu. What lie did ut Sevastopol belongs to history. Out of au open city he succeeded in raising, under the enemy’s fire a formidable for tress, that rosistod for nearly a - year tho gigantic Qflorts of the allied nriniui. In less thun n year he passed through the grades of captain, lieuten ant-colonel, full colonel, major-general, iidjuuuit- genernl, and received, amongst other distinctions, tho decorntlon of tlio 4th, and then of the 3d class of the order of Saint George, which is only confer red for distinguished deeds. Seldom hns a mere general of brigade received this high distinction. Besides himself, it wns only conferred on his no ble companion in arms at Sevastopol, Prince WussiUchikoff, who more fortunate timn he, was able to remain nt his post to tho last hour, whereas Tottloben, having been wounded in tho foot, hnd to be carried out of tho besieged city. Strange to sny, so rnpid a promotion hns not excited the least envy, but hns been saluted with acclamations, ns being duo to real merit—to courage combined with genius.” DIED, At Baltimore on the 27tli November, 1855, PHILIP MINIS, M.
