Or rather should they be those, who have for our THE DRAMA. Still does our city continue to be favored by the presence of Mr. J. Stark and j¢ompany. A more efficient or pleasing company has never visited this place within the memory of its oldest residents. On , Friday evening last the performance com. menced with Bulwer’s beautiful play entitled the Lady of Lyons ; the characters of which were admirably cast—Mr. Jas. Stark as Claude Melnotte, and Mr. Phelps as Col. Dumas. Wecannotsay too much of Mr. Stark as an actor; having that happy gift of nature that enables him to play every character asif real. His Claude Melnotte cannot be beat Mr. Phelps still retains his lofty position as an actor amongst the citizens of Nevada. There is no part that requires a commanding appearance, with good elocutionary powers, but we would most willingly see Mr. Phelps play it. His Col. Dumas was par excel assured us that the drippings of a load of snow he had sent to Sacramento, would lay all the dust withori the shadow ofa doubt ; but we were grievously disappointthe facts.

Wednesday Evening.—This evening was produced the beautiful play entitled the Mountaineers. The character of Octavian is another of those we delight in seeing Mr Starkin. MrWilder, Glover, and Phelps, acquitted themselves very creditably in this play. Mrs. Stark appeared as Floranthe, Mrs. Woodward as Zorada, and Mrs, Burvillas Agnes. We need not say they played well. The laughable farce of A Kiss in the Dark concluded the performance. On Thursday evening, Macbeth, with a splendid cast, was presented for the benefit of Mrs. Woodward. There was a good attendance. Goy. Bigler and suite was present on the occasion.

The Native American principle has taken 8 firm hold of the popular mind, and will be a controlling element in our politics for years to come, although the present American Party may be shivered to atoms.

But really the delegates to the bow can Convention are as intelligent a look-. ing body of men as were ever assembled in the State. There is a general disposition to harmonize, and a good nomination may be confidently expected. All the wire-pulling and petty trafficking by candidates has as yet had little or no effect farther than to produce a disgust against the trading candidates themselves. Who will receive the nomination for any position I am unable to say. The candidates are numerous and tho friends success. Among the delegates to the Settler Convention, which meets ou Wednesday, of each express themselves sanguine secrecy is virtually removed from its proceedings. The convention adjourned to meet at 9 o’clotk. There is little doubt that Niles Searls will receive the nomination for District Judge. Lorenzo Sawyer, Esq., of San Francisco, has an excellent showing for the nomination for Supreme Judge for the long term.

We wish them to become imbued with the nationality of California during the years in which the character is formed, and moulded into its permanent shape. Whether the system which our Legislature has provided for us will accomplish all this result isa question which the future must decide. ———oa tea Those who are fond of good things in the way of Liquors and Cigars will find Jones & Harrington, gentlemanly and accommodating fellows, always ready and willing to serve their customers, at Wilson’s old stand, on Broad street.

It is needless to say that Leartes was well . piayed, for Mr. Phelps always plays well. . The fencing between Hamlet and Leartes possessed all the refinement of the French code of honor Bat. the most striking scene was that witnessed over the grave of Ophclia, where the lover shows himself more agrieved at the death than the brother. Mrs. Stark’s Queen Gertrude was played with usual good taste, cvincing as much grace under a crown as under her wellmerited laurels. In the character of Ophelia Mrs. Burrill shines most. She has a sweet voice, and her plantiff singing was much admired. Mr. Wilder played the king. The proud title of regality was well sustained by him. Mr. Conner as Polonius, played well. He is remarkably adapted for that cast of character. Mr. Glover as Horatio gave much satisfaction. tion by the “Tuesday evening. —The entertainment opened with the beautiful play, entitled, the Iron Chest. Thisis not a common play, but posesses all the sublimity of high tragedy. The character of Sir Edward Mortimer, as presented by Mr. Stark, is the most beautiful dramatic production we ever witnessed. In the character of Sir Edward, Mr. Stark excels his Richelieu, and far surpasses all other characters we have seen him play. Mr. Wilder as Wilford, Mr. Phelps as Capt Fitzharding, and Mr. Glover as Orson, played well. Mr. Dennis as Gilbert Rawbold, Mr. Thompson as Sampson Rawbold, and Mr. Conner as Adam Winterton, sustained their characters well. Mrs. Stark as Lady Helen, Mrs. Burrill as Blanche, and Mrs, Woodward as Barbara, played with their nenal grace.

The following is the closing scene: After the sentence of death had been read to them, they both addressed the vast crowd in their native language, and we learn that one of them in particular, used violent and denunciatory language against the Americans. After each prisoner had concluded what he had to say to the people, they knelt before the priest,and with crucifix in hand, a such religious ceremonies as their religion required at their hands. Their feet and hands were then tied, the rope placed around their necks, the black cap placed over their faces, and after each of them had uttered the sentence--“Good bye, boys” —the rope was cut, the trap door fell, and the souls of Escobar and Sebada were launched into a spirit land, leaving nothing but their cold and inanimate bodies nded between Heaven and earth, as a fearful warning to all future violators of the law of the land.

There is a general disposition to harmonize, and a good nomination may be confidently expected.

Mrs. Stark’s Queen Gertrude was played with usual good taste, cvincing as much grace under a crown as under her wellmerited laurels. In the character of Ophelia Mrs. Burrill shines most. She has a sweet voice, and her plantiff singing was much admired. Mr. Wilder played the king. The proud title of regality was well sustained by him. Mr. Conner as Polonius, played well. He is remarkably adapted for that cast of character. Mr. Glover as Horatio gave much satisfaction. tion by the “Tuesday evening. —The entertainment opened with the beautiful play, entitled, the Iron Chest. Thisis not a common play, but posesses all the sublimity of high tragedy. The character of Sir Edward Mortimer, as presented by Mr. Stark, is the most beautiful dramatic production we ever witnessed. In the character of Sir Edward, Mr. Stark excels his Richelieu, and far surpasses all other characters we have seen him play. Mr. Wilder as Wilford, Mr. Phelps as Capt Fitzharding, and Mr. Glover as Orson, played well. Mr. Dennis as Gilbert Rawbold, Mr. Thompson as Sampson Rawbold, and Mr. Conner as Adam Winterton, sustained their characters well.

Their feet and hands were then tied, the rope placed around their necks, the black cap placed over their faces, and after each of them had uttered the sentence--“Good bye, boys” —the rope was cut, the trap door fell, and the souls of Escobar and Sebada were launched into a spirit land, leaving nothing but their cold and inanimate bodies nded between Heaven and earth, as a fearful warning to all future violators of the law of the land.
