After a Jolly old English dinner, to which I did ample JoBlice, we bad more conversation aboat tho good old times he had seen in the States, and in contrasting the pecnliarlUeB of the two conn- tiles. Jack than gave ordeia to his right-hand-man, Pat, to have the mare, "Jenny," harnessed and put before the "trap," aa he wlahed to ^ve the animal a little exercise. This was done in very short order, and in five minates yoar hnmble sorlbe aqd the world-wide celebrity.

On referring to the Union army, he add, "It's sab- llme I sn tbe standing armies of the world look small in compa- rlsbn with the tens of thouaanda of merchants, tradesmen, law- yers and medianlps, who have left everything—mothers, wives, deters, and dearest relatives—to defend th^ country and its iflwlons fl«#, with death staring them.in theXtcet.

I cannot give an we so happQ7 and enthusdaBUcally dwdt upon, bnt my sketch shall be finished with a few remarks of my own, in regard to the late attack by .ffdl's L^e on Hr. Uacdonald.

In 1817, he came to the United Stateis, snd made his detiul October 'Slot at Ihe Obestant Street neatre, Philadelphia, aa Pierre, in "Tanioe Preserved." In Hay, 1829, in conjnnolon with J. Green he became mahs^ of the Walnnt Street Theatre, Where he exerted hlasdf as aenrer mana- ger exerted himself before. Be played every night ah'd wrote many of the pieoea performed. The lastof his arainat proved fatal to blm: it was on Ihe snbjeot of the "Uall Bobbers," which excited aomnoh attention at ono time.: For the purpose of ekelcb- ing,Ur. .Chapman rode out to the scene of the robbery at Tn^ aer's Laae, and 'was Injured by a fdl frpm his horse, aad died la the course of a week. Bavlng hurt hla shoulder, he was obliged to wear a suit of brass armor, and the weather being exoeedvely hot he wore it next the sUn, . which increased the excoriation; and it was supposed the verdigris had poisoned the wound. At any rate he died la Phlladdpb&i, Uay IStb, 1830, and was buried at Bonddson's Cemetery. On his monument Is the foUowlng iih scripUon:—"Even his enemies lovodhlm." Ttus, thought we, aa we read the inscriipUon, they at least mnat have loved that iroud soul of his whloh buflbted the roaring torrent of his stormy int short career. As a man, more need not be add of blm. Those who knew him best adinlred him as a Und hnaband and sterling, honeat friend; as an actor James Wallack Is perhapa the onto one that could at all compare vrilh him in hla very dlverd- fled range. Those who saw him so exceUent In comedy, would hardly bellevo that in Blchard Ihe Third, or In Peecara, he had bnt few equals. With aU hla lalente aa a dramatist and abilities OS a manager, the theatre dld'not prosper with him;'he was always in dJmernlties, We remember once when be was'playlng Staunton, in tha "Beart of .Uidlolhlan," after gallantly defCndiaB Uadge WUdfire ilrom the Sootqh rabble, he was himself pursued by the BherUTs Officers; heesoaped, however, in hla stsgedothes, and found refuge with a friend. An apdogy of courae Was made to the audience for poor Bam'a "auddea Indlapodtlon." Abont ten months before hu death, he married - Elizabeth, daughter et the old favorite, Jelbrson. F. B. OBAHFEAU.

After having received a good education, he left home, au we find him in the far Weet forking as ship carpenter; but he did. not r^ida la that port of the uuiuiU j .vary long, tir In .a very abort time we find him onoe more to hla hattye city. . From. the unsettled state of his dtnatlon at thU period, and having formed &vorable no- tions of theaWcd exhibitions, he determined upon the life of aa . actor; and accordingly sought the Bcqnalnlance of performers, and stage-strack heroes like hlmsdl . Be Joined a Thespian Asso- ciation which iras called the "Forrest Drsmatio," with whom he appeared in many different rola. Bobd after, this Assodatlcn united Itself'With the "Dramatto Iiistltate,".and hired the Frank- Ua Theatre,' where they, for a short time, coitaplftely mordered Shakespeare^. . Onr hero's next stop was as "Super," at the B^nrery Theatre, where he became a great favorite, particularly In bis unlUttons of Mr. Forrest whloh were excellent Be r<>ke very rapidly ia the profesdon, snd in a very short time elfected ata engagement 'With JcbaBico, Of the Buildo and Detroit thehtreii.

Bnt bis greatest triumph was Uose, la"A Olance at New York."' Be at once became the "Uon" of the town; bis likeness pervaded every window, and his sulng6 were uttered by every urabin-in the dty. From the Cdebri^ uqoited by him In this part'(Uoae,) and the concepttons formed by many as to the range and scope of that character, it was supposed by some that his forte lay In the broadest of broad comedy','and that be was scarcely equal to charaders which; even if not more dUBoult are aaslgned a higher grade in oriUeal estlinaUon.''
