I^st evening, s number of persons in this town proa^ted a very short dialogue, with a short farco, to a very large number of spectators, who paid tho very reasonable price of one amar each for their scats. Considering ttie serious state of our public alblrs, the abaoluto necessity of Indattry and Amgallly among all ranks of people, and more especially among the common badeemen, aechantoks, &o„wbo almoatlnvarlabTy have the van- ity of aping their superiors in almost ovorr f^hlonable.extrava. lance, Iconceive an entertainment of this kind very Improper, ioth on account of the expenae, and the time taken up in pre- >aratlon for atlendasce at tbe exhibition. And as the Honorable Continentiil Congress have strongly enjoined on all good people of the United States to abstain from aU expensive diversions, such as theatrical entertainments, gaming, etc., I believe no good Vhitf, who duly considers tbe respect due to that venerable Iwdy 'wore there no other objection), con approve of this transsotlOD, _: am fkr from snppoilng the persons connected hod any crlm' Inal design I but Delleve they engaged without deliberating on the consequences that naturally attend a performance of this kind at the present day; but If the sentiments here held'forth are Just, I presume they will be kindly received, and wythlng of this sort not attempted hereafter. • orENiNa OF A NKW theatbk'I Prom the Conneotlout Cburan/, Ang.le, 179E. ••The new theatre In this city {Hartford, Conn.) was opened on UondAy evening last, with a celebrated cci^^dy, entitled the "Dramatist," preceded by a handsome and pertinent address, by Ur. Eodgklnson. Prom the specimen that has been given of the abilities of the performers, end the' sssurance of the mana- gers that they will so conduct the theatre that it mav be Justly styled a school of morality, It Is presumed that It will be a great source of instruction and amusemedt to those who visit It; and we will hazard the assertion, notwlOistandlng the prejudices that some have entertained against It, thAt as an amusement. It is the most innocent, and as a source of Instruction, it is the moat amusing of any that we have ever yet experlenoed. While the theatre Is well conducted, on chaste principles, when vice is drawn in colon that will disgust, and virtue painted with all its alluring oharms, Itls hoped it will meet the approbation and encouragement of the citizens, and of the neighboring towns, raOLOODS OH THE ESIABUSHUdlT 07 A HEW THEATBE IH HABT- TOBD, WamEK AMD BFOESN BX MB.

THE 'AUERIOAN INDIAN DEP£AT3 TEE BBITISH OEAUPION ly A ONE HOPE'S RAOB. DGEBFOOT BUNS ELEVEN UILEB 540 TABDS IN AN HOUB. Borne 8,000 persons .assembled at tho Hookno^ Wlok Roco Grounds, on Monday, Jan. 12, to wltncsa the one hour's race for $100, between Teddy Ullls and Deerfoot The racee those some men hive been engaged in together, are so recent, tbat to notlco them would .be a mere waste of space, end the late doings In a certain poUoe-court need not be alluded to here, tmlese as a proof that the men ••ran on ihelx merits" on Uondayl The scene around the house, at the railway station, and tho different approaches to the ground, was of the description usual on such occasions. The race was set for throo o'clock, and at obont a quarter past,' Deerfoot entered tbe course, attended by his backer, O. Uartln, J. 'White, of asteahend, and J. Miles, tho champion walker. He bod a rug 'wrapped oround him, and commenced taking a sIroU roona the ground, but ere be had corajileted tho circuit of the course, a loud choor announced tho entrance Into tho ground of the Blx Ulloa Champion. Ho was, OS usual, watted on by Sam BArkor, assisted by the onco-cele- bratcd Jem Pudney, and "Old Bill" as regulator. The race be- ing one of on hour, It was arranged that the competltora should start from the osuol winning post, and continue on until the ez>. plrallon of the allotted time, which was to be announced, as wen as the start, by report of platol. All theso mattan being adjastcd, and tbe referee, Ur. H. Bolt, at his post, the compet- itors come to the mark. Betting on the event was anything but brisk, odds on Uills being asked for, bat not obtainable; tbonofferato bock tbe Indian at ovens soon rose to 2 to i on him, an°d very few taken oven at that price, as tho publlo soon became swore that Teddy was not up to his A1 form, by the si- lence of those who, when be is well, never leave off putting their ••pieces" on him. On disrobing, Deorfoot appeared In a cos- tume similar to that In whloh he ran his last race with Uills; Teddy, as also on that occasion, stripping to the buff. And now their appearance was eagerly scanned. Deerfoot lookod as he always does, that stalwart, musonlsr "athlete," able to bear any amount of fAtlgne, and with a look of quiet confidence on his countenance; while Teddy, on the other hand, looked polo, flabby, and maoh too heavy in the "victualling department," having, from his easy defeat of Deerfoot In the six miles race, evidently held him very cheap. His kppearasce was a very great dlaappolntinent to the partisans of UlUs, who had, bar an scd- dent, booked the race as a certainty. Exactly at half-pist tbreo o'clock, the pistol was fired, when the Indian dashed away with ths lead, showing the way by a conple of yards, Teddy running In his track, both looking s^oas. This order of running was miintalned amidst the deepott allahce, lap after lap, until rising lbs hill in the sixth, when Uills went up to his opponent, who at once made a dssh, resumed bis former position, and flniohed the first mile, three yards ahead. In 1 mm. 49 see. Thus they went on, round succeeding round, each dashing over the heavy [round as though his life depended on the result; UUls now Oiling In the rear some eight or ten yards, and anon closing up the gap, and dohig a lap at his opponantf'squarters, the pace aU the wuie being as though they ha4^ltcned,^r a six miles race only. In going up the hill In thi' twenty-alsth lap, Deerfoot made a ruui, and soon placed sUtiien'Ot'. elmWe^jords between them, and his friends tiiought It ?'all 'aTeri'^ siftioopiiDg down thePagods hill in the twenty-seVentb,'UQlBStieteheaoTlt,snA made up his lee-vrsy, and as they UAstSd the hill li^ t])e twenty- eighth Up, he; amidst the most dMtfnUg.'OhMn, dished: psst the Indian, and swept round the btUd tiywue straight with a lead of three yards, finishing the fonr InHes that distance in ad- vance, in 20 mln. 3S seo. For seven laps did Ullls hold the leAd, neither flinching firom hlswork, although the ground was getting very heavy; and when the flnt half hour had ex- pired, nearly six miles had been covered. Entering the straight, hi the tbir^-fourth lap, Deerfoot come to Ullls's shoulder, and they both passed the referee abreast, and thus rounded the bottom turn. And now, from the bottom of the hill, commenced a most exciting struggle for the lead, the men racing as though within 100 yards of home. Ulles hod the Inside, bat Just ss theyreaohedthetopof the hill, the Indian's superior strength toU, and he was enabled to take the front position. Ullls, seem- ingly satisfied, or for the time eihansted by his efforts, fell some dozen yards In the resr, and ran there for two or three laps. In the fortieth lap, he began to decrease the gap; and, as they entered on the forty-second, another most tremendous straggle ensued for the front, which lastod sn entire gap, and ended in Deerfoot etlll maintaining the load. During these despente spurts the cheen from the lookers-on were most enthusiastic and spurred tho men on to redoubled exertions. During the rannlng of the fiftieth lap, Ullls sppoored much distressed, and Deerfoot having ^e "ofllce" given htm, put on more pressure and dashed away from his nun, leaving a space of twenty yards between them. EIllls, nothing daunted, stuck to bis work most gamely, and as he passed the Pagoda, woa seen to strike his Side a* thongh in pain..' For the next two laps did the Indian career along by himself, the race looking all but over, when, to the ear- against tbe loiieru It Is sold that the advocate does his utmost to broftbtat tha'^potlte .wltnosios; to abuse and vllliy, or at least depreciate,and insinuate unworthy motives against bis advenary'B client] that his immediate object is not truth, bnt victory; that he manipulates evidence, gives i fklso color to futs, warps the meaning of plain words, wrests the law to his side, appeals to the known .bias or probable prejudice' of the Jary, and soeks to sophlatloAte the Judge, And It Is urgtd with Seat plausibility, that such praoUcesmust deaden the mind to e value of truth, and tend to tnske JasUco a gmo of chanes, or, at beat, nnscrapnloas' skill. We believe that the great security ssalnitonr bar sinking to the level which sacbarga- ments Imply, lies in Uie social esteem which tbe bar enjoys. Litigation Is, rolallvely, an evil, l)OWever necessary it may be. And more exasperation, rancour; and vneharltablcncsa is pro- bably stirred np in a single term In conneotlon with it, than bos accompanied all the prlze.flghts that ever yet were fcnght. Social esteem keeps the barrister at), and lets the prize-flghtor down. The rufflonlsn, ttie spells of wild inebriety alternating with the severity of training, and all tlie concomitant "block- gaardlsm" whlcb narks the lower memben, and, i>crhaps, Ihe farner number of professional "flghtlng^men," have no rool In their profession as such. It Is the result of tho degradation In whloh they sro held, and of the social ban imder which they are laid. There Is no reason whatever why two men should not, ss they shake bonds first, go to work In a spirit of perfect chivalry; and enter tho ring with the temper and consMeneeof Bayard himself. It Is the abhorrence of the "rcspectable"%hloh' makes them what they ore. Society shuts Its doon sgolnst them; bat the bore of the lower grade otpnbUc-houses are open, and there they ore accordingly found, niey ore. In form of law, cMmlnals, and make good their posIUen by lawless lives. It Is ue bid cose of the publican and the phorlsee. Society secures a little good of 0 lower sort, and has not the faith and Ihe charity to'Tenture for a higher cue. The temper which we call "Pharisaism," for the soke of a dlsUncUve term, is on element In all society 'whlcb, having mode some progress In clvlllzaUon, finds it less trouble to threw np bsrrien than to pioneer paths for lOrthor prbgresa. As regards human life and limb, more mischief to them is oer- tolnly done In a season's fox-hunting than In a year's fights. Nay, a calm review of facts, will leod to the conclusion that prlze-flgbtlng tends to economise them, It lays down rules for that whloh Is Indeed an evil—a quarrelsome disposition to hurt 0 neighbor; and, though its own battles may be conducted with- out a particle of Ill-will, it extends a beneficial influence to the really bratal battles into whloh onr lower population ore apt to rush: It tends to minimise the mischief of a fight, dod'thus to Erotect what It seems at first sight to endanger. It hardly ever oppens that fUr fights ore fatal; it constantly happens that dsoaly blows oro given when men fight In defiance of the roles of the Blng, and vrithout Its sof^ards. We could hordbr hope to alter In less than a generation the avenge character of prlie- fighten; but the first step towards any futun omellontlon would certainly be the removal of the etlgmo of illegality, which is proved to be nugatory as regards the stopping of fights, and only effectual in degrading those who conduct them. If one Influ- ential section of society had Its way, the stage; which has been. under its severest anathema, wonld degrade Uie actor imd the actress Just OS the Prize-ring does him who makes it his calUne now. bnt, OS regards tbe stajge, aoolety on the whole his decided that there Is o dear advantage in keeping It respectable.

AO whO'hod a'ohaiacter to lose-wbn lil' snrluk avray. griie of aU, Ullls gathered himself together, and, seeming to nave shakoB off all his distress, mode a dash after bis swarthy opponent, and In the fifty-third lap challenged him forthe leoq,.
