M'ns GLAneTAeNE'S COePLMEN TARv BENEFerr.
The coimplisaetitary benefit tendered to Mlrs. Glad
stone, by a number of gentlemen desirous of express
'lg their appreciation Of her peisonaland professional
Smerit, in some manner wherein substance can be
given to the complimentand shape to the sentiment,
illitake place at t. e St. Charles theater this evening.
The testimonialis well and richly deserved; and if
the resultsare commensurate with the inducing mer
its, we'are assured that the occasion will be long. and
pleasantly remembered, beth by the lady and her
friends.
If a correctalnd candid judgment will not.place
Man Gladstane among the queens of tragedy, as we
do not think that itwill, it is, nevertheless, equally
certain that such ajudgment willplaceheramong the
foremost of those who etch correctlyand fillup touch:
ingly all the landscape of womanly life, love and suf
ferinig; home scenes, home joys and home pletures.
There are characters and events represented by her
as very few women can represent them-so much the
product of art as to be exact copies of nature, or so
complete pictures of nature as to touch the topmost
triumphs of art.,
We trust that those who are the supports of the
drama, and the friends of its support, will see to it
tlihat the benefit to-night is worthy of themselves and
the benefloiary.y.
Mris Dona SnAw's COMPLuonnnTAnY BENEFIT.
Mise Dora Shaw, who during her brief engagement
here has evinced no inconsiderable degree of ability,
and an amount of talent which justilies the praises of
her Western friends, has had a complimentary benefit
tendered her in this oity, in order that she may re
ceive which, Miss Matilda Heron has resigned the
present evening, and additionally volunteered to sma
tain the partof.Bianuc , in the play of "Fazio"-a
piece of much interest and dramatic merit. The
beautiful comedy of the "Honeymoon" is added as a
finale and crown to the whole; Mr. Crisp playing the
Mock nDuke.
We are all so selfishly desirous of benefits, though
but a moiety can receive those of the stage, that, for
our own part, we never read an announcement with
out wishing them success. When, as in the present
lnstance, they have been legitimately earned, it is but
natural to expect a crowded house.

*pow&.hhger satelaotiltion of saying that ineither
oi.w otiihn. ohbllo eonidence, was misplaced. Very
. s.e lihave been' committed, but they bear no
pri to the good that has been accomplished.
ToieDonill in authority was elected as a "Reform
onesil.'! When the members entered upon the dis
chlrge of their duties they found an empty treasury,
large floating debt, the credit-of the city depre
sated, its wharres unproductive, and its warrants
unpaid. They have been in office about one year.
What. hsuh been :the result of their legislation and
policy? Why, the floating debt has:been paid off;
the warrants of the city are promptly redeemed;
ihe creiit 6f the city stands well;' the wharves
have been- made largely remundrative; there are
ampla means at the command of the Treasurer to
meet accruing liabilities as they become due; and the
taxes on real estate for the support of the city gov
ernment proper have been reduced seventy per cent !
Now, here is a brief and truthful record of the
eacts" of the existing Common Council. although
not a tithe of the beneficent results of their labors
has been glanced at. We have only had time to
mention a feos of the prominent points. And, on
those points, we are willing the question should be
tested whether, under the circumstances, the " Re
form Council" bas not'accomplished more than could
have been reasonably expected. For years and years
the tax-payers of this go.dly city have known nothing
bat continually increasing taxation. The promise of
re.hction was kept to the ear only to be broken to
the hopdt.It remained for a much maligned, abased
end villiled American Council, to reduce those
.promises tdo actual practice. Tax-payers and the
owners of real estate will experience the beneficial
effects flowing from reduced imposts before the year
expires.
It.will remain for the voters and tax-payers to say,
ent.te first Monday in June, whether the American
economic policy, so happily inaugurated, shall be
continued, or whether the city, its property, interests
andfuture,shall be again handed overtothe controlof
hungry and unscrupulous partisans, who have no
earthly object in view save to make as much money
out of the corporation as possible. A continuance of
the American policy will, in all human probability,
bring about imother decrease of taxation in twelve
months. An opposite policy will unquestionably
superinduce a necessity for heavy increased taxation.
Let the tax-payers choose. As they make up their
own beds, so may they expect to repose.
As to the "course of action which it is proper to
p.rsue inthe pending municipal canvass" there is
ittle to say, for there is but one "course" open to the
members of the American party. They should stand
foat to their colors; discourage all diversions; set their
aces against all movements which do not emanate
from themselves ; and when their candidates are noam
tnated, as we presume they will be in three or four
weeks, support them with energy, zeal and enthusi
asm. We can see no other proper, safe or legitimate
ourse to follow. And, if counsels likethee prevail,
we are sure to triumph in June. Any other course
will assurelly give the victory to the anti-American
party.
We trust the attendance in front of the City Hall
this evening, will fnlly equal the expectations of the
getters-up of the call. Meetings and discussions usu
ally lead to good, and very seldom to eviL We are
all interestedin the preservation of the credit and
character of the city, at home and abroad, and
should all lend a helping hand to advance objects
having praisewortij'ends in view. We shall give
a full report of whatever transpires of importance,
in Monday's morning Double Sheet Crescent, accom
panied by such remarks as may be deemed appropri

VOCAL AND INsTarvuNTAL CONCERT.-An an
nouncement, in another column of this morning's pa
per, informs the public that a grand vocal and instrn
mental concert will be given at Odd Fellow's Hal, on
Friday evening next, the 11th instant, by Desire,
Delcroix, assisted by Madamnes Colson and Cambia,
and Messrs. Delagrave and Junca of the French opera,
together with the orchestra of the Orleans Theater,
under the direction of Mr. Prevost.
Mr. Delcroix is a native of New Orleans, possessed
of more than ordinary musical taste, which has been
carefully cultivated, and, by virtue of which, he en
joys a high rephtation among those professors and
amateurs of the art, Whose commendation is a sure
guarantee of realjworth. Well and widely known in
our city, and possessing many warm personal friends,
there is every reason to hope and believe that this,
hislfrst concert, may be both satisfactory and remu
nerative. While so many singers and musicians of
mediocre ability meet with great success in New Or
leans, it may well be hoped that the old precept slhall
have life, which teaches that home and home products
should be more cherished than any or all thtings
foreign. \When, as in the present instance, the apo
thegm comes accompanied with the fact that our own
is better than that of others, motives of pride as
well as patriotism should induce us to strive for its
success.
Mns. LrEOsARD'S BENEFlT.--To-morrow evening,
Mrs. Leonard, who has filled a very arduous and re
spopsible position at the ft. Charles Theater, during
the past season, and has ably sustained herself in it,
will have her benefit, As the benefits of theatrical
ladies and gentlemen are a part of their stock and
capital, bargained for of the public, in consideration
of so much ability and amusement provided, it is.but
just that they should be fully liquidated upon present
ation. Mrs. Leonard's labors have been of no light
or trivial character, and entitle her as a nmtter of
justice, to that which is given as a compliment to
others. The nature of the bill selected is such as
should enforee the requisition.
Mtt Conm's BENEFIT.-Sheridann ' sterling'comedy,

plvte itself requires no prbote to those who are students of
Shakspeare, Beaumont and Fletcher, Hurlowe, Johnson and
Vanbruglh. It has been pronounced, for varted excellence,
Sheriddn's chef ttcutrre, and twould be that of any other man.
After song and dance, the amusemuts conclude with the nau
ticaldramaof "Black-Eyed Susan." After tweety-.ix years
resdencohere, this is Mr. Corrl's first benefit, and we trust it
may be t full mtd erowded one. The Fos of lMalte, we under
stand, will attend in a boy. If all of )ir. Corr's friends do
the same, he will have a bumper.
MACAL.LISTER'S SOIRtEEs.-Ont Monday evening,

before and bewitched the city with his dliblerle, will commenc
a farewell eies of solress and magical entertaimnents, mucl
surpassing his previous ones, at the PIelealn Theater, astisted by
M'me Maealllster. The wonders that are performed by him are
of a tnture which must be teen to be comprehended, but which
aee ealcientlty marvelot to atonih all speecttors,
Wonderafully Funny.
The Courier ofyesterday morning oantained an
'elaborate article in reference to the rencontrehetween
Jsidge RIobertson and Mr. Daunney. Of coarse, as
good a case was made out for the Judge as possible ;
but notwithstanding the Ingenuity displayed, the ef
fort was rather a tame affhir. s' Circumstances alter
cases" som mtnes; but there are cases so hard that
no earthly circumstance can have the smallest effect
upon them. The one referred to is of that character.
Hence the coparative failure of the Courier.
But one prtion of the article is to remarkable that
-we. fel no nttatindt to copy and comment upon it.
osin aocertait " squads of meo, evidently armed
and-intent on mischief," who have taken occasion to
"peer insolently and often insultingly" into the
Judges face, (why did he not have them arrested ?)

While alln agree that .ttis a melanchl state of thinua rhich

Well, if "he could not be blind to the object of
these men," why did he not bring the power of the
law to bear upon them? As a citisen, it was his
duty to do so-au aewor conservator of the peace,
it washis boonden duty to do so. But he did not.
Instead of evindicating the law he proceeded to vio
late the olaw. And he did so deliberately. ancord
ing to the Comier, he took advice of reliable "friends,"
and these "friend" as well as "members of the Grand
Jury": advised him to anrm himself-to load his per
son with concealed deadly weapons--right in the
teeth of the express statutes of the commonwealth !
He followed the counsel-unwisely given and un
wisely received-and what has been the consequence?
Why, in a conflict with a gentleman, he has been se
verely'caned, and must hereafter pass through the
ordeal of a criminil prosecution !
Before closing we would like to know what business
"members of the Grand Jury" have to advise either
Judges or private itizens to violate the laws of the
land. We have always been under the impression
that their functions were altogether of a different
character-that it was their duty to seek out andre
port the commission of crimes-not recommend the
perpetration of offences! The Courier's statement
involves a serious charge against "members of the
Grand Jury" which, if they rest easy and quiescent
trader it, will cause future Grand Juries to be looked
upon with suspicion. We do not wish to be officious,
and cordially detest inteovreddiers, nevertheless, we
must be permittedto suggest that a response fnom
them will be- looked for by the public.
If, by suce a process, a Judge can secure immunity,
the same process must serve private citizens. The
rule must work both ways, or elseit is a very poor one.
Dr. Dewey's FIfth Lecture.
Rev.Dr. Dewey last evening delivered a lecture
upon the mental and moral activity elicited by man's
connection with nature and life.
The influence of Nature upon man is shown in his
works and achievements. The peculiar channels in
which his industry and skill are directed, are not ne
cessarily of his own choice; it is a regulation by
the Divine Will that man's efforts should be turned to
the various pursuits in which we see him engaged
heis inspired by an impulse and necessity which he
cannot resist. Nature has taken a bond of man for
his activity. She has provided for the lower animals,
but he cannot exist as they; his wants will not per
mit it. She also requires ot him,in his course through
life, the exercise of reason, prudence and discretion;
and a deviation from the laws she has laid down, is
certain to bring its immediate punishment. Mfan oc
cupies the position of Nature's pupil, and to her
teachings he owes whatever greatness he has achieved
The occupations and professions of life form a part
of the system of thingsin whichweare placed. They
spring from impulse and necessity, and the great visi
ble fact of the world is labor in its thousand forms,
whether in tilling the soil or in fulfilling the duties of
the various other pursuits of life.
The world is a school, the great object of man is
culture, and activity is indispensable to his education
-meditative study alone, as a business, cannot be
altogether substituted for it, because study, action
and practice must go together. Ian is made a worker
for the development of his faculties and energies, and
the provision made for his necessities by Nature is
contingent upon his-own exertions.
The lecturer proceeded to speak of the various
pursuits and professions of life-the peculiar duties
pertaining to them and their necessity to the welfare
of society and of mankind in general.
Apart from his more practical pursuits, man has
many divine ideas and sentiments, as shown by his
achievements in science, history, literature and the
fine'arts. The love of the perfect and the beautiful
is a want in the nature of man which must be sup
plied, and after all his success in ministering to his
physical necessities, there will still be a void which
can only be filled by the high mission of genius. It
is a general but mistaken idea that the main incen
tive to the labors of genius are fame and pecuniary
recompense. Men of genius work for an idea, to
satisfy a divine propensity. Genius cannot be bought
and sold-the light which inspires it comes from a
higher and purer source.
Mettairle Course Races.
Yesterdt y wa snell a spring day as mlght inlpire a poet-a
day in Its full proportions, like one Jewel out ofa thousand, com
plete in mildness, brightnet s and life tirring properltes. In
consequence of this state of afflla, and of tie prospect for sport
hold out at the Metirlie, there was quite a large concourse of
tlhose partial to such amusements, assembled to witness tile con
test between Tom iMGufjn, Clrporal Trim and .lryU Mll, for
a purse of $,00, at two mile heats.
Those who attended were welt repaid for the time, trouble and
expense agendant thereon, as the race was a very intereating one
-from the first heat to the last, full of incident and matter for
speculation. Wehave not the room to give as full a report as we
would like, and must necesesarly omit many matters that trans
pIetd tand adiedto the interest of the occtu sion.
Tile btlting wits atriou,., aud ]t. must indeed Iave. been hard
to please that could not find a "'point" at omern period of the
,ace on which to stick his opinion.
In betting, TomMcGumnitl hd the call against the field at two
to one, up to within an hour of tie time of startlng, when, sud
denly, a change came over the minds of mten; the McGluill
stock went suddenly down, and in the same ratio Corporal Trim
came into favor, so that, at the start, he had the decided call.
PInst HIIAT.--At the tap of the drum, Cary Bell went off with
the lead, MeGuttin following and Corporal Trim bringing up the
rear. Th posltions remained unchanged until near tlhe stald on
the first mile, when the Corporal changed places with Tom,
and so traveled steadily along until the straight run lome, when
he challenged Cary' Bell, and, after a pretty run down tile
stretch, showed at the stand in front, Bell second and McGuffin,
who, to all appearance, had not ladeuntt effort, last. Tite, 3:42.
SEcont IIEAT.-All got off well together, McGutfin leading
and Trilu second. In thil order they traveled along at a slash
lug pace-in coming down the stretch, the Pirst mile, Trim tried
his hand for the front, but Tom shook him off without apparent
effort-at the turn Trin dashed at him at.in withl no better sue
cess, and so it continued to the score, when Tom shllowed first.
Time, 3:37t).
TurtlD EAT.--ctfGumfin bonnced off with the lead, with
Bll second ; at thie entrance of the back stretch the Corporal
took the second place, and from that out w at Tom all the
time--t the draw-gate he took position along side, then whip
and spur were freely used on both; at the ladies' tanud Tom was
half a length alhead, when Abe let the Corporal out by one of
those effortt peculiar to limself, which Is muchl "mtore easily
ulagined than descrtibed, and landed hihn inder thue string
neck-and-neck with Tom. As an illustration of the extent to
which prejudice and feeling will lead men who are entirely hon
est, we will state that the friends of Tom were tetrain that Ie
hudl taken tile heat, while the blckers of the Corporal were
equallycertaln thatit twas his. Thejudges decreed, however,
that neither wru heir to that honor, and ruled it a dead heaut.
Tiue, 3:4.
PouoIt HEATp.--Car Bell went out uader the ruhle, eaving
the race between Tom and the Corporal, both of whom Illt very
much tile appearance of horses that were tired of tile "play "
and "wanted to go home," and we have no doubt whatever
that if they had been consulted, they would have preferred
gaing out with Cary Bell, to any Iutrelp in store for them. At
the tap Tom got off first, kept the lead throughout the heat,
which wasi made in 3:19.

Beware of Calomel.
The public generally may not be aware that nearly all Worm
Lozenges contain Calomel, and that the lives of children aru
thereby endangered; parents should remember this, for al
thought medlcine may be easily dmlinistered when in the form
of Locnges or Candies of any descrlptlon, yet the danger that
is incurred outweighs the advantages, besides cadomel very aftnt
fails in accomplishing the desired object, it is by no means to be
depended on as a remedy for Worms, and it is not now m gen.
erally resorted to by physlcians as it was a few years ago, they
have become convinced of thie dcnger of its use and of the un
certainty with which it acts, and have prudently and wisely rce
sorted to other meanulg which these oblectlons are obviated.
Physlclns geerally now use
WINER'S CANADIAN VERMIFUGE.
This medicine is a simple vegetable preparation and can al
ways be administered wlth perfect safety and confidence as to
the result, s it wllalwys dtroy Worms and restore the pa
tient to health, t

EXtract o a letter from Norfolk, Va., dated Jan. 17, 156:
One of HIerrig's celebrated Fire-proof Safes was in Adams'
Express Office when the building was burned, several weeks
ago. It remained buried in the rubbish until Thursday,
when it wie taken out. The fre, on the occasion alluded
to, was one of tile fiercest we ever saw, and when the chest
was found, after] a lapse of forty days, it was aurrounded
by embere, glowing brightly. When opened, the papers and
other articles it contained were founld to be ound and generally
il good condition, thus affording another prof of the ecurity
and superiority of these safes. The one alluded to may be seen
at thewarehlouse of MeNrs. Rowland & Bros., who are agents
for themakers. It ahowse learly the evidence of a severe test
of its incombustible qualities, when its exterior was red-hot in
the burning furnace that roared around it, and amid the embers
that glared around it for hours, days and weeks.
