[From] NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 1853. To the Editor of the National Era: ... The desire to witness the drama of Uncle Tom's Cabin continues as great as ever, and each performance at the National Theatre attracts a full and delighted audience. We pity any one who can witness unmoved the truthful personation of Eva by that talented child, Cordelia Howard, for it is a most thrilling and soul-moving bit of acting, and the gem of this most attractive and successful play. The play is now in its sixteenth week here! A new and beautiful tableau has been introduced after the death of Uncle Tom, representing Eva in heaven, amid clouds and a halo of glory, welcomed by angelic choirs, and accompanied by Uncle Tom and St. Clare. This is very effective, not only as a scenic display, but also as preventing the abrupt and disorderly departure of a portion of the audience amid the death-scene, which characterized the finale heretofore.
