Evans Burton, the author, Safer and manager, died of enlargement of the heart, in New York,on Friday morning last, in ibe 5-th year of his age. He had baa for several yeare past a aufferer from the malady, bnt, despite the advice of medical men, persisted in remain ing on the stage. In January he started on a professional tonr to the South, but on reach ing Richmond contracted so severe a cold that he was forced to retu*_. He never played again, and his but appearance in this city pruned, indeed, a "farewell engagement," in a profession of which he has been a brilliant light. The following -letch of his life is very interesting: He was born in the city of London, in Sep teml"er, IBOS. His father was a printer and publisher, and likewise an author. The son was bred to tbe butine. t of the father, and after i wiving a good elementary education, mastered all the mechanical details of tbe ty pographical art. One of the specialities of the busine. sof the elder Burton was tbe print ing of classical works, and the son at a very ••arly age acquired a knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages for tbe purpose of prool reading. His knowledge of tbe English clas •lea,Bad especially of the dramatic authors, was also thorough and profound. The elder Uurion died wben tbv our sketch aad scarcely attained bis majority, nnd tbe business wm conducted by William, in the name of hts mother. Like many of his craft, Mr. Burion was passionately fond of the the atre, and cultivated tbe acquaintance of the ie or*, with whom he was brought in daily contact by his business. Thence the transition iv ibe stage was easy. He acted as an amateur, ulayiag lor his first character Hamlet, and for B long time believed tragedy was his/.r!.. He dually entered a company on what ia called the Norwich circuit, and in KM appeared at the Hay market, and made his debut therein 1638, as Wormwood, in the farce of "The Lot -1 tery Ticket." For years afterwards he was compelled to nndergi the usual vicissitudes, privations and disappointments which beset a novice upon the stage. He played anything and everything, and was content to take up with the leavings of other men who had at tain >-d a position with the public. Hy au accident he secured the part of "Paul Pry," and made an encouraging success iv it. In I Kit he re solved to come to America, and be arrived in Philadelphia, to which place he came without he advance which is usually giveu to artists. It was a matter of pride with Mr. H., that he was one of the very tew European* artist. *lm hate com* lo the United States al their own expense. He made his debut in September ot ue yams oelore named, at the Arch street The ir re, as Cornet Oliapod, in " The Poor Gen tie nau " He remained in Philadelphia several . .ars.acting and writing lor the press, and peedily obtained an extended reputation in in and letters. He conducted at this time -The Gentleman's Magazine,*' aud publisheo wo volumes of fugitive pieces, generally hu morous sketches, which h»d an extended sale Kaziue articles attracted a great deal ol l and admiration. In bis own pro ie was recognized as a "star," and as den tour through the United States, essay iv the metropolis was made a .ational Theatre, iv Leonard street ~ C») under the management of Mr ' -m»- Wallnck Mr. Utirtou played, for a complimentary benefit given to Mr. Wallack, ...i J..UJ.I !__<;*, in " Spnug and Autumn.''— I'tie rtrst piece on this night was the opera oi -Amilie," in which the Seguuis, Mis. Shir.fi. md Wilson, the tenor, assisted. Su.h an en tertainment could not be matched at the pres entday. When ihe Theatre was burned, Mr. llurtou was connected with the management, .le returned to Philadelphia in 1. tu, aud lltien •ip I'ooke s .ircu* building, iv Olie.-mit street, i >r theatrical repre_euta-.fon, and called it tin National Ther.'re. lie had a very flue comp any, which at various times included Misses . liarlotte and Susau Cushman, Henry and I nomas Placide, anirotber noted performers I'he famous fairy piece, the "Naiad was produced here lor the first lime m tin U ni'ed States, and netted a small fortune foi he manager. He invested the larger amount f his earnings in his friend Nick Biddies lamous United States Hank <>f Peunsy Kama, • •id t*mttm-to4 severely by tbe smasbiug up oi that institution. in i*"4i ue leased the theatre, corner of Leon ird and Cb-.ch streets, in tbis city, aud brought his Philadelphia company ou here, ■ ogeiber with all the beautiful scenery lor the prosecution of the "Xaiad Queen." Tbe piece had a fine run, and whilst tn the midst ol suc cess the building caught lire and was again burned, destroying also all of Mr. Burton . splendid scenery. The building was first burned in IKI9, while under the management if Mr. James Wallack. We next find Mr. Burton, nothing daunted by misfortune, tbe manager.of the Arch street theatre, I'liiladel phia, tbe theatre at Washington, and theFrout street, in Baltimore. Next afier the Park he had the best company in tbe country, and was distinguished for the liberal wav iv which be mounted new pieces. He did "London Assu rance" with a real aviary and real fountains, but tbat tbe birds wouldn't sing and the foun tains wouldn't play. The result of Mi. Bur ton's managerial speculations in the province* was aot pecuniarily magnificent, and he re solved, in I_B, to have a daub at the metropolis, tie selected a .pot between the Park and Bow ery fires—namely, Palmo's old Opera House, in OiiauitN-r* .tree . Paiuio had made a lori tine iv a cafe in Broadway, and lost it in trying to manage Italian Opera. The theatre wasalte r | wards ased for model artist exhibitions and traveling shows of all sorts. It was con sidered as terribly low, and Mr. Burton's speculation was regarded as a suicidal af fair. He opened, however, in September, i l-!., and during the flrst part of bis sea son lost money nearly every night. He i worked on unceasingly, ai.d was almost ■. übiquitous. He acted one night here, another iv Philadelphia, and another in Baltimore, i and then repeated the operation for week iv and week out. The flrst hit made at Cham ber* street was Mr. Brougham's adaptation of i "Dombey and Son," cleverly adapted, and ad- i mirablv acted. (Who tbat saw the play can i forget Burton's "Cuttle," Brougham's "Buns- i by," or Raymond's "Toot's.") "iiombey and i Son" bad a great run, and may be fairly con- i . idered as the foundation of the manager's i fortune. The burning ot the Park a yearaa- t ter the opening of the new theatre left Mr. t Burton master of the field. He speedily gatli- t ered around hiip a fine cjmpany, ai:d pro duced all the new Loudon plays in rapid sue- c cession. Above ail other., "The Serious Kami- t ly" took the town by storm. i Mr. Burton created the part of Aminidab t Sleek, and played it altogether over six huu- t dred times. "The Toodles," altered irom an i old-fashioned domestic drama, "A Farmer's « Story," was likewise a terrific hit. Mr. Bur- j ton wa now rich again. He bought the ihea- *, tre for the sum of fifty thousand dollars, built t a fine town house in Hudson street and a t splendid country residence at Glen Cove, v Long Island. He felt, too, that he could do i something in the way of illustrating ths i Sbakspearean drama, of which he had a «j thorough knowledge, and for which be felt the i most fervent adoration. He produced several a of tbe great master's plays, aud placed them s on tbe stage with a degree of attention te de- o tall and a perfection ot ensemble which have c uever been equalled in this country. v Mr. Bnrton was so welt and widely known . to the American public, tbat an extended crit- j icism upon bis artistic qualifications would he superfluous. He held hia place a the first c comedian of the American stage for twenty- _ five years, and leaves no successor in his pc- d collar vein, which wa the unctuously hu- i morous. Where sbaU we find another Sir a Toby Belch, or a Outtle, or a Toodles, or at. fa Autolycua, or an Aminidab Sleek, or au Ebe- i near Sudden lAs a stage manager he wa not d oaly exceedingly clever,but untiringly Indus- a trious. He would work from teu till live, and act from aven till eleven, thinking aoibing of a it. The next morning would find him up with t tbe lark. Along with the theatre be had many c other irons ia the fire, aad found time to at tend c a mem all, to devote many hours to social en- ti Jovnaat, to keep himself acquainted with cur- m rent literature, to write for the magazines, tn to rot lee t,edlt and prist a Cyclopedia of Wit aad it Humor, to prepare an edition of Sbakspeare, c a ym unpublished, to play tbe gentleman a former in <_ leo Cove, and the cordial host in il Hudeoa street.

Of the thirty-two passengers drowned, bnt one was a lady. The first thing that wa done wa to lower a boat on the larboard side-all the starboard boats haviug been gotten inboard and taken over to that side of the ship for that purpose. The ship lay with her head to the southward, and her larboard side was consequently iv shore Mr. French, tbe first officer, was di rected by Captain Dal I to lower his boat and try aad save the ladies. Ne attempt had been made yet to run a Hue to the shore. Tbe boai era got overboard safely, and four ladies, viz: 2__!'.. _ w ' M,s * 11- rt ney, Mrs. Sweitzer, and _.' «aßpeanaadi child, *i:h three children 01 Mrs. Tew, were placed salely on board. No one could see fifty yard* in shore from tbe wreck, and none knew whether the boat could live in such an awful surf; but it was the only cbauce. The ladies behaved nobly. There was uo whin.pe.iug, no crying or screaming: Miss Gregg refused to go iv the boat unless Her brother, in whose charge she was, could be allowed to go also; but this could not be, and aiter vainly expostulating with her, the boat wentoff without her and reached the shore in salety. The next boat that started ashore was com manded by Mr. Birch, the second officer, which was cup. iz. d ia the surf and two of her crew drowned. Miss Jordan was in this boat; she was dashed violently ashore aiter being nearly drowned, and was rescued from the surf by ihe exertions of ibose ou the beach. Sue lav apparently lifeless for more than an hour, and it took the ii most efforts or her friends by rubbing and other means to restore her to c.ii-ciousuess. Mr. Birch, the second officer, narrowly escaped with his lite. All of tbis passed unseen by those who re mained ou board, the darkness being intense, and the booming of the breakers deafening — Ihe passenger., such us remained,clung to the wreck with the momentary expectation that she would break to pieces under ihe tearful assaults of the surf. As yet, she lorined a sort oi lee, beneath which ihe boats had been launched. Another boat was n«>w got over board and sen i ashore, under ibe command ol Mr. Thomas 01. dwell, the Columbia river pi «_*" Tins, too, was capsized iv tbe surf, and Mr. triad weil and three others drowned. The ship lay about lour hundred yards from the beach. Mr. French, who bad landed his boat wiih ibe ladies in safety, *v. ns vow about starting oil again to tbe ship, and attempted several limes to launch her through the surl, but was unable to do so until alter repeated trials.— The party on shore clustered around bim and begged bin. not to risk hia lite agaiu. They pointed out that he had got ashore this time almost by a miracle, aud tbat the fate ol the other two boats sbuiud be a warning to him ; bu: be replied, with his characteristic spirit, '1 hale got as much to live lor as any ot you, hat I am going oft to that steamer and stariu by Capt. Ball; my lif. beloi.gs to ibe passen gers in her"—and he succeeded at last iv ! launching her. I was standing uear amid ! ships when Mr. French came towards the ship J the second time. When the surf broke the : warer would recoil with fearful violence - tgain. t the ship and create a whirlpool or ed dy like a miiirace Irom forward, aft, along side and under the siern. Mr. French seemed to manage the boat well, and was appr.actuug cautiously, when Capi. __:l saug out to him, •'Beearelul, Mr. French; dout ge into tbat eddy, or it will take you down." The crew then began to back water, but it was too la c; the boai was taken by the current, darted swittiy aft, capsized under the counter, and the gallant Frenchman and two or three of his crew were drowned. They were sucked out ol sight in an uisiani aud carried out iv the under tow. IS early all of the passengers had made use of the lite-preset vers, ol which there was an abundance on board. Capt. Ball still remained on board, trying to encourage others to take the chances of tbe rope. His cabin boy was saved, with _.«> iv money. Every sea ibai broke upou the wreck threatened to knock ber to pieces. At laat,Ca,.t. Ball, -be purser, (Mr. Breck,) and Mr. Barry, (Wells, Fargo ACo.'s messenger,) determined u> try aud save them selves-. Mr. Breck was washed off the live, but reached the shore greatly exhausted. Mr. Barry, who had seeu so many drown, was sure that be would not be able to reach the shore, and so it proved. lie waa not seen from tu_ time be left the ship. Capt. Ball, like the rest, was swept away; but, by great exertion.—by swimming aud struggling—he gamed Hie beach, and was hauled out of ibe surf utterly exhausted. A number of others remained amidships on the wreck, determined to take their cbauce ol beiug washed ashore, and, lortuuately, when the wreck broke up, which was soon after, the fragment upon which they were drifieo a_ure,and all were saved. Buriug the rest of ibe Bight, at intervals, theories of tho.. per sons who had lashed themselves to the larboard paddle wheel were heaid growing more feeble, I and at last they ceased. Among these were Mr. Grregg and his sister, who bad refused to take the ordinary means of saving tbemselves. When the wreck broke up, the heavy iron work, among the wheels, though mucti bent aud smashed, remained stationary. At day light not a vestige of ibe wreck could be seen, save tbis iron work. AU tbe wooden pari ot ibe bull bad been washed ashore, and was lound strewn along the beach lor eigbteen or twenty miles, iv pieces and piles, as if it bad ! been cut up into firewood designedly. It was awtutly bruised and cut, and showed by iv appearance the terrible lorce of the ocean surl. . But the most sorrowful spectacle was that of the body of Miss Gregg, which, after her death, dunug the horrors of thai dreadful night, the force of tbe surf bad not been able , to wash away from the iron to which she had been securely lashed. The other two bodies were gone—only tbe lashings remaining. The surf at times ran clear over the body of the poor unfortunate young woman, and had washed away every vsiige ol apparel. Tbe bead bung down with tbe long hair floating oxer tne lace. .Vtae. ibe surl broke tbe body would swing out, nnd with the recoil, tail back again against ihe iron. This wa wit nessed irom the bench—there beiug no mean* of removing ibe corpse until tbe tide ten, when a line waa formed by men joining bauds and thus extsnding themselves out iuto ibe surf. Tbe water wns not then more than 4 feet deep—a large sand-tmr haviug been lormed i_ eideot where the wreck bad been. The last oae climbed up upon tbe wheel and.out the corpse down, when it was taken ashore aud placed with the rest. Ia tho morning fourteen bodies were found on the beach, borne of ibem bore nub oi bruises about tbe bead aud face, received. doubUe*., In.in the piece* of (be wreck boat ing In tbe eurf.

The Louisville papery of Wednesday give full particulars of the late terrible affair at Hawesville, Ky. Take it all Ib ali, this is one of the most appalling atrocities that was ever perpetrated in a Christian country. The Dem ocrat says: Tbe town of Hawesville was, on Monday Inst, tbe scene of another terrible affair. Dr. 11. A. Davison, wbo, it will he remembered, was one of the persons wbo entered tbe jail aud shot Thomas S Lowe, about a year ago, attempted to destroy his own life, together with the lives of several other persons. It is supposed that bi« object wa to iske the life of Mr. Tom Sterrett, against whom he has enter tallied a deadly animosity since tbe death of Lowe. This arose from the fact tbat Mr. S. bad expressed himself rather freely arainst those persons who took tbe Hie of Mr. Lowe, and denounced tbe cowardly manner In which thai diabolical act was consummated. Oa Monday last Dr. Davison entered tbe store o. Mr. Duncan, in which Mr. Sterrett. with three or four other persons, waa seated. He had urder his cloak a willow market basket, in which, covered oyer with some eggs, was an infernal mark me of his own inven tion. A deacripiion of this instrument of death may be interesting. It waa a tin tube, large enough to hold Aye or six pounds of powder, with which it was filled. This magazine waa contained within auoiber Uu canister, of doubl* a*. a«ze. The apace between the two waa filled with bulieie myr large sized shots, a sufficient number to weigh ten or twelve pounds. This inftmai machint was constructed under tbe d.cior's especial direction, by a tinner in Cauneltun, Ind., which town is immediately opposite Hawesville. Dr. Davison approached Mr. Sterrett, and when within a few leet of him, he set fire to bis infernal machine, with the expectation of blowing himself, Mr. Sterrett, and everybody eiseiu the roominto eternity. Tbe shock was terrible. The room was built of stone and brick. Oue whole side of the house was blown out, the roof was lifted from the rafters, and six large sills above were broken. Mr. Dun can, the merchant, wa very dangerously wounded—it is feared fatally. Mr. Sterrett was seriously hurt aud badly burnt. Three of tbe bullets entered bis lace, and it is feared be may lose au eye. Dr. Davison had his leu fore arm br ken in two places, hi. collar bone broken, his right shoulder dislocated, the flesh torn off the shoulder to the bone, his clothes torn from ibe body, and be was badly burned in ibe lace, breast and arms. He was a horri ble sight, aud rushed from the house, after the . xplo-iou, crying, " Kill me, for God's sake; 1 da not want to live any longer." Two other persons were iv ibe room, but were not se riously injured. The citizens of the town, hearing the noise and feeling the shock, m lied to and fro in the wildest confusion. They thought that a keg i t powder had ex lmled in the store room.— When they were informed ol the iruecause of theexplo.-iou, many persons were ia lavor oi killing Davison, aud strong efforts were made todo so. Tbe news spread through ibe coun ty, anil the country people were rushing to town with their guns for the purpose of taking part in the mob. The whole town was aim -1 lug, and, at. o'clock on Monday night, it was thought that Davison would be taken out of jail and killed. C-Hiou- Casbo. Mi _ak__ lukktitt.—lt will be recollected that some time since Mr. Henry Williams was arrested and held to bail i*i t-."i,iKM. by theU. S. Commissioner and Jus tice Connolly, on charges of taking a letter j irom tbe post-office addressed to F. A. Wil liams, aud torgiug the name of F. A. Williams, hy which operation he defrauded the Nor walk (Coiiii.) Bank of 93,000. The accused stieu uousty protested his innocence: but as he was positively identified by the clerk at the post- Alee as tiie man who received the letter, aud by the clerk at Adams' Expiess Ofllce as the person wbo received the gSQOM hrooght by 'hem fr'-m Norwalk, for Mr. F. A. Williams, his protestation, obtaiued no credence. Two unvsago a new development was made in the case. A second Williams was arrested by ol ticer McDougal, ot the detective police. Cu riously ilie luct cameom that the latter Wil liam*, from poverty, bad risen suddenly to apparent affluence, aim to driving bis fast te.m ou the Bioomiugdale load. Iv the mind ol the sharp detective it was a muter worth investigating, and he did investigate. He be came turailtar with tho second Williams, drank wine with him, told stones, and rode wiih hinr iv his dashing buggy. Williams Mo. -2 is of a communicative disposition, tie told the officer that be had two thousand iv hank: that lie had been a lusky dog. and in one ol bis wild revels drank mysteriously to the brightness of b..uk cashiers. At ihe right moment officer McDou.al ar resiea tbe criminal and liberal Williams. He was charged outright with having obtaiueu Mr. F. A. Williams' note, and ihe money up on it. He denied it, of course. His trunks at his residence in Twelfth street, near Fourth avenue, were searched, and siiecimens of his band writing obtained. A positive semblance was found to exist between the same and tbe note t. the cashier. He was takeu belore tbe post-office clerk, and the clerks at Adams A Co.'. express. They all ideu tided bim at once as the mm. James S. Williams—tor tbis is tbe iiMine of tue latter Williams—is now locked up in Eldridge street jail, awaiting a full examinaii.n in tne case.— N. _.

The Wrightsville Star cays: The unfortunate man. in at .mpting to oil the machinery, slipped, ai.d his loot was caught between tbe wheels, by which his en tire leg was drawu in and crushed up to tbe body, and in throwing out bis hand, it, too Was caught and mangled in a dreadlul man ner. Our intorniint states that wben tne crushed leg was d awn iv up to the knee joint, the force and resistance at that point was so great a* to break tbe wbeei. The _u foriuuate man sat there thus mutilated, alone, and iv ibe cold, from 5 lob o'clock, when the other workmen arrived at tbe pu aud extri cated him from bis dreadful situation There is no hope of his surviving, and when told so be gave directions iv regard to bis burial, v tombstone,and Ins worldly property, part ol which cousists of some si,*-ou iv money, among his friends in Germauy. Virginian Mvhdxrkd.—Cola Bruin, late of Alexandria, Va., where be laves a widow and family, wa killed near Lyons, Fayette coun ty, Texas, on the _6tb ult., by his landlord, a man uatned Burns, under the following tragic circumstances, at stated in a letter ia the Ga zette : Burns entered tbe field, armed with a re volver and bowie-knife, where Cola was plow ing, and bad some harsh words with Coia. aud, without any attack being made upon him, discharged live barrels of bis revolver nt tbe person of Cola, two of which took effect but did not complete his work of death. He then drew his kuife, and literally butchered , bim. Cola lingered till about 3 o'clock yester day eveuiug. He was decently interred at a Baptist burying ground this evening. Burns bvs surrendered himself to the State authori ties, and will undergo an examination to morrow, at Lagrange, tbe county seat. INrcBtATBD Womab.—The Buffalo (N. V.)

To avoid the crowd of admirers, wbo awaited him ou tbe wharf, lie left tbe steamer wiih the mails, unobserved. The crowd missed him, but were still anxiously watching for him among the passenger.. A letter says: At length a gentleman of commanding h»fght. wearing mustaches and cloeely muffled, wa:-, by general consent, pitched upon, and a rush was mad* on all sides to .hake hands, and congratulate him on his safe arrival.— Cheer tollowed cheer iv rapid succession, and the scene was for a time very exciting. The passenger, who turned out to be a Herman merchant, was naturally taken aback at this warm reception, and after numerous struggles to gel free, at length found temporary safety in a cab. Tbe driver attempted to drive him off to his hotel, but was peremptorily ordered to stop. This he declined, until his horse was seized upon, and the crowd then manned the doors of rbe vehicle, open ing the windows, nnd nearly upsetting the ill-fated passenger in their attempt, to tret a peep at him. In vain did he explain that be was not Mr. Heenai.: in vain did he expostulate. Tbe crowd bad determin- d on his idemity, and would take no denial. At length, when he was almost borne off fn triumph, he succeeded in establishing the fact that he was not the Benicia Boy, whereupon the enthusiasm of tne crowd took another direction, and il was with the grea* e td.fflculty be escaped the condign punish ment which the crowd evidently seemed lo think he deserved for presuming to be any one except the person they bad taken him for.— tleenan and his friends, meanwhile, had made go d their escape, and afer remaining a short time in Liverpool they proceeded to the rail way depot, tn route for London. Here also an immense crowd had fathered, and he was re ceived with tremendous acclamations. Both he and hisc input.ion (Cu.lck) seemed grati fied at the cordial reception they met with.— Tbe news of his departure lor London was telegraphed all along the line, and at every station where the train stopped nuinhersoi apectar.>r. were on the gui riot to get a glimpse of him. They arrived in London the same night, and Heenan preserving bis incog, pro ceeded to a private lodging, carefully avoid ing all the sporting houses.

Target Praetiee.—lt volunteers wish to he come eft.-lent soldiers, tbev must learn to shoot, as well as h mrtle their mu.keis, with accuracy. This they can only do by frequent practice, either in squads or surgty. A soldier accustomed to the firing of a musket could always mnke their guvs tettat seventy.five or one hundred yards, whilst on the other baud if he wa. not of accurate aim, most oi his shots would be lost iv limes of battle. The execution done at the battle of New Or.enn. may be attributed to the fact that ibe sold.era generally were dead shot—a circumstance that gave them nerve and coolness ia that try ing hour. If our soldiers hope '0 tie equally efficient, they must practice at tbe target until the} are good -hots; and the sooner they com mence it the sooner will tbey be enabled to on-sent an undivided front to any flag,and mow them dowu as does the reaper mow the grass. Tht Weather bam beeu as fickle as a coquette for several days pat. Saturday last wa not only cold and disagreeable, but thick clouda obscured the sun, the north wiud blew cutting cold, and towards evei lug small Hakes of -now were wafied about, and a snow-storm was hourly expected.
