UNCLE TOM'S CABIN AND THE DRAMA.—The friends of Uncle Tom will regret to learn that he has at last fallen into evil company, and has taken up a disreputable business. He appears nightly, as we learn from the papers, on the boards of one of the theatres of this city, and of course attracts crowds as he has done wherever he goes. One of the daily papers says:

  "Uncle Tom's Cabin has created a great furore at the National Theatre. It is now in its seventh week of representation, and no doubt will run as many more, and perhaps as many months. The church and clergy are liberal in their attendance, and there's no doubt that Mr. Purdy, in his production of Uncle Tom's Cabin, will bring about a complete reformation in the drama, and be the means of uniting the pulpit and stage. We understand he has now three dramatists busily engaged in preparing other religious pieces, one of which we learn will be Milton's 'Paradise Lost.'"

  When first seeing this statement we put no faith in the statement that the church and the clergy had patronized this establishment, regarding it merely as one of those paragraphs which are inserted in a certain class of papers to serve a purpose, and that a base one; but upon reflection it occurred to us that some of the ardent admirers of the original work, who have extolled it for its eminently evangelical character, might wish to see how Uncle Tom would appear upon the stage; and that perhaps they had been inveigled into "the pit." For the information of such, if there should be any, and that others may know into what kind of company they have fallen and avoid it themselves, we copy another paragraph from the same issue of the paper in which the above is found.

  "Thomas C. Currier, of Searsport, Maine, captain of the schooner Ranger, lying at the foot of Seventeenth street, was robbed on Saturday night of seventy-two dollars, at a house of ill-fame, whither he had accompanied two females from the National Theatre. Rosanna Shears, one of the females, was yesterday arrested and locked up by Justice Bogart to await an examination."

  This is a sufficient commentary upon the moral effect of the drama, even under the auspices of Uncle Tom. As far as our knowledge of the reputation of theatres extends, the National is the lowest place in our city which goes by the name, and is proverbially the resort of abandoned characters of both sexes.
