The Rankin Com edy Company made their second appear ance at the theater last night In the ex cellent play of Caste. In this the com pany more than sustained the impress ions of the first night. Miss Kitty Blanchard strengthened the good opin ions formed of her on Tuesday evening. Her roprcMentfttion of Ksther Kccles was pronounced superior to any other ever seen on that stage. Miss Katie Maykcw, whose sprightly and versatile manner reminded us of Lotta in her early days, is a brilliant actress, and in vested the character of Polly Eccles with new life and interest. Her pleas ing manner has won many admirers who. will be gruttfied at her advancement. It remained for Mr. Belville Ryan to. Ju tkt? crowning piece of characterization of the evening. In the character of Eccles he gave our play-goer ,ucn t treat as they have not had sine,. the days ot, hllerton a, engagement with Chris Steinkuhl.

Judge Flippin, of the Criminal Court, granted an apical last evening in the case of the State vs. Dan Smith, indict ment for the murder of .Mexriwether.

An efort was made yesterday in the Legisl'Atuni to repeal the dog tax, but the ir,over.ient was fortunately defeated. If 'it cov Id be managed to tax nine te'jths of.' the dogs out of existence the i uidnighj. peaca and harmony of Memphis would be greatly improved. Mr. Vl'. H. Bates, superintendent of the typographical departmeat of the Charleston railroad, returned to the city yesterday from Manitowoc, Wis., and brought with him askis bride Miss Mary Borchertlt, of the latter city. Mr. Bates received the congratulations of bis many friends yesterday and to-day. Capt. J. S. Ryan, late of the Arkan sas preis, is in the city at the Peabody Hotel. He was one of Forrest's Cavalry.

The Recorder of the city was seen yes terday flying out Union street on horse back. The pace was tremendous, and pedestrians had to fly for dear lifo. The cause of the l.reak-neck speed was that the horso ridden by the lady was run- uing away, and the Recorder was en deavoring to check the wild animal. Fortunately, the horse was stopped be fore any damage was done. Young Shelton, who lias been on trial for several days in the Criminal Court, on the charge of killing young Mr, Hughes, was found guilty, last evening, of involuntary manslaughter by the jury, and the penalty of four years' imprison ment in the penitentiary was imposed.

From tho New Orleans Pioayuno, Nor. 5.J The dramatist has taken such liberties with the unities of old Diedrich Knick erbocker's legendary tale, that the spec tator of a performance of the dramatic Rid Van Winkle is remanded to the con sideration of what the actor will do with it. without reference to the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of the picture as a rep resentation of the original Sleeper of the Kaatskjlls. I be citizens ot New Oeleans, up to date, have seen three por traits of Kip." The first was pre sented by Mr. Joseph Jefferson beauti ful in symmntrical proportions, subdued and harmonious in color, and with a resemblance of feature which bespoke patrenity in the actor's own creative t'uculty; the second was that of Mr. Rob ert McWade. and the third is Uiat of Mr. McKee Rankin, upon which we propose to expend a tew sentences. It is no part of our purpose to insti tute a comparison between Mr. Rankin nnd Mr. Jefferson, and thus make the hitter's impersonation the standard by which every other actor shall be judged. We admire, in the first plaee, the mod esty with which ho presents to the public his idea of the character. There is not the faintest appearance of egotistical rivalry with a veteran representation. He approaches his audiences with the nir and manner of an artist instigated by a praiseworthy ambition to test his own abilities in a particular part, for his own gratification, and hopes that the witnesses whom be has summoned to the trial will bear cheerful testimony to whatever of success he may achieve. Greeted by such a manifestation of re serve (rare, we regret to say, in Mr. Rankin's profession), we lent to his per formance an unprejudiced attention. We accept Mr. Rankin's Rip, as he hat given him to us, holding that the success of the actor is to be decreed, not so much becaase of the truth of his conoeption (although this condition makes the more complete his triumph) as because of the exactness, intelligence and power with which he unfolds bis idea. We pass over the first and sec ond acts of the play, with the general observation that Mr. Rankin has wisely forborne the temptation to descend to broad farce, so tantalizingly held out by the author, and manages the comedy of those acts with taste and judgment The third act is the test of the actor's power, and in this Mr. Rankin exhibits the par nest work and conscientious elaboration of the artist in love with bis character. The awakening scene was wrought op with admirable execution. The performance of Rip gave as a high opinion of Mr. Bankin s talents and schooling. There is a freedom from ex aggeration about him which argues an easy ascent in bis profession. His style is easy and flowing, his attention to de tail close and onwearied, his faealty of analysis clever, with the promise of be coming a) ore profound as experience enlarges hi observation. His versatility is established by the success with which he ha presented dia'arent characters in rapid suceesaion. Mr. Uaokin need not be ashamed of his Kip o Winkle, nor fear to challenge criticism, eearltr P. I ley H.lel.ra. Thos who have not yet surrendered their Security policies will please do so immediately, as they must all be sent to New York by the end of this month to share in tHe division of assets.

There is little of interest to report to day in connection with local monetary affairs. The demand for money is fair, but not pressing, and the banks are amply supplied with funds to meet the waiits of. the mercantile community. Rates of discount at bank are 10 to 12 and in the open market from 1 to 2 per cent, per month, the latter being the outside rate asked on the least desirable pnper. Exchange is hardly as active to-day, both the offerings and demand being smaller. There are no changes in rates, however, either in buying or selling. Gold is purchased by dealers to-day at 110 to 111, with limited offerings. Local stocks show no marked changes nor is there much doing.

The New York and Liverpool market are quiet at previous quotations, and New Orleans is unchanged. Factors are stronger in their views on the better grades, and will not part with lower grades at any concessions, while buyers, anticipating a shading in other markets, are indifferent as to purchasing at the present rates.

RIVER, Bl'.SINESS, HI.K'EI.LAXKOC. A rise of three inches has taken place opposite this city, and to-day there is full six feet above here to Cairo, and six and a half feet over Reeves' bar below White river is falling slowly, with five feet to Jacksonport, and the Arkansas is declining, with seven feet full to Little Rock, and five feet above there to Fort Smith. Business at the landing is mod erately active. The Ocennus and Mol lie Ebert went up last night putting out but little here. Five boat arrived to day. The Glasgow caine in from St Louis, three days out, and passed down, drawing five and a half feet. The Wicks, from New Orleans, five days out discl.a.o, d here M-vi-h")--five tons freight, a to i '.o'tt hundred tons for above. The Muiliu Moore, six days from New Or leans, discharged forty-five ton of freight here, and had two hundred and twenty five tons for uliove. The Phil Allin brought three hundred and seventy six bales cotton and one thousand sacks of seed. The Cheek brought seventy six bales cotton and twenty-five sack of teed. The weather is clear and warm. The Fort Gibson hat been docked for repairs. United State Commissioner Norri yesterday heard the ctse of Henry Mitchell and Charles Mitchell, seamen, against the steamers T. II. Allen aud City of Quincy for wages due. The latter boat afterward settled, while the Allen takes its case before the United States Court As stated in our yesterday' telegrams, the Convention met and oeganized at Louisville yesterday, (electing John S. Newberry, of Detroit President About one hundred and twenty delegate were in attendance. Several Coagreaemen were also present The organization and appointment of business to the va rious committee! occupied the afternoon session. Different-section of the steam boat law were divided among the com mittees on the different subjects, who will probably report to-day. Tko Con vention will visit the canal in a body b -day, and be entertained at a banquet at night Tho apportionment of commit tee was completed at the night ses sion, and the Convention adjourned to meet at ten o'clock this morning. The Legal Tender met with an acci dent last night that will lay her up for a few days. As she was on her way to Whit river, and when at the foot of Buck Island, sixty miles below here, she struck a snag while under full headway, knocking a hole in her bottom and break ing her stern end some ten or fifteen timbers. The hole wus immediately stopped, without damaging the freight in the least, and the boat headed for this port, where she arrived this morning. Her freight will be reshipped on the Walt, and tbe-Legal Tender will go on the docks nnd h repaired in time to leave on her regular day next Tues day. Our telegraphic reports, on the second page, give a full and complete report of the doings of the Convention. Read it. Captain West, of the City of Quincy, denies that the negro passengers brought to this city by his boat on her upward trip ate at the Grst table with white peo ple, and slate that they weregivun cabin accommodations only as second-class passengers, using cots for beds. Colonel Jilsen P. Johnson, of the Cult House at Louisville, has extended a cor dial invitation to the reporters and river editor, present nt the Louisville Conven tion to make his house their homo (lur ing their stay in Louisville. Just like Johnson! Always doing, good to the poor! A Cincinnati telegram says thut Judge, Storer, of the Superior Court, dissolved the injunction against the Newport and Cincinnati Bridge Company, and with drew the suits against tho city for fifty thousand dollars damages. The Oceanus passed up lust night, four days out from New Orleans, with three hundred tons of sugar for Belcher's refinery, at St Louis. Colonel Merrill, of the engineer corps, is in the city. He will erect a water gauge at Little Rock, Arkansas. Captain Keiaer, of the St. Louis Packet Company, is a guest of Captain Flem Calvert. On Monday last the Belle Lee passed Vicksburg for New Orleans with three thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven bales of cotton. The City of Chester, Captain Ziegler, is the regular packet for St. Louis at five o'clock this evening. Captain Mark Cheek returned yester day from New Orleans, having gone there a few day since to examine the steamer Bradish Johnson, with a view of potting her in the trade between Mem phis aud Greenville, with other boats that are with the aid of our merchants to form a semi-weekly line. We men tioned this fact some days ago, and again urge our business men to render all the aid possible in order to secure the valuable trade of the bends. The Batesville, Captain A. B. Smith, will leave at five o'clock this evening for all points on White, Little Red and Black rivers. The Cincinnati and New Orleans Packet Company's wharfboat will be let into the water at Cincinnati this week. The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle has the following: Captain Lawrence Carter and Cuptain Butchelor were out hunting, back of Newport, Saturday last, and by accident Captain Butchelor re ceived the contents of Captain Carter's shotgun in his leg." The Qeo. W. Cheek, Captain Mark Cheek, leaves to-day at five p m for Hel ena, Friar's Point and all wuy Iundings. The St. Francis, Cuptain T. R.

The corporation of Columbus, Ky., shonld inflict a monthly wharfage tax of $500 upon the wharfboat of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company, if tho fol lowing telegram taken from an exchange is authentic, it saya; Mr. V. (J, Rushing, Vice-President of the M. and O. R. R., has telegraphed to W. J. Rudd, agent at Columbus,-Ky., as follows: 1 Don't allow boats to land goods for the town on our wharlboat, but confine the business exclusively to that of the rail road.' Captain Caldwell was ont yesterday ith hi matched team. If there is a more nanusome turnout in town we have yet to see it. The Mary Boyd goes out to morrow for the Arkansas. The R. P. Walt is lite regular mail steamer for White river, to leave Satur day. This morning's AvuUnclie, referring to the New Orleans Commercial Bulle tin's dig," says: An article copied in this column a few days since from the New Orleans Bulle tin appeared as a paid advertisement It waa intended to give proper credit, but it waa entirely an oversight. The Bulle tin reporter, whose column is always very newsy, should not feel bad almut it He played the same game some time since in publishing an account from the Avalanche of the destruction of the steamer Virginia. From a lengthy report in the Nash ville Republican Banner, we take the following relating to Colonel Aliert's urvey of the Cumberland: The deepest pool or hole of water dis covered was at Hunter's Point It is called King's Eddy. It is forty live feet in depth. Pilot have heretofore sup posed it to be as deep as sevenly-hve feet. The next deepest hole is at Cole's ferry. It is forty-three feet in depth. The pools of this nature, though of less depth, are almost numberless in the up per Cumberland, and at a small expense might be more closely connected together by the removal of ledges of rock, and a permanent channel .made an improve ment which would prove of inestimable benefit to the navigation of that part of the river. The dredging of the channel at the Nashville Island, and the blowing oat ol some protruding rocks, have made it all that could be desired as fur as prac tical purposes are concerned. Tbe men employed in boating gravel and sand through the chute have spoken highly of the improvement Twenty cribs have been taken out of the channel at (lower's Island. Instead of having to make an awkward passage through the chute, aa waa formerly the case, boats will steam straight through, without fear of any ob struction. The lifting of the crib ha given four feet of water in the channel, even at the present time. Tbe dam at Harpetb Shoals has been partially con structed from tbe lead of the sboala to Harp- lalaad. It ha already bad the effect to give fourteen inches on the ahoaja. s. 53' M O III I I H 3 w 91 o B O H w M d to u 5 h O -O HI o w o 9 -s JITajWJBOATS. Far Calra aad (tl.
