Russell are at present the tragic and comic heroes. A new farce was produced here on Thursday evening, bearing the title of "Nicholas Flam, Attorney-at-Law." It is from the pen of Mr. Buckstone, and the following is a sketch of the plot. Mr. N. Flam (W. Farren), has a lord for a client, who is very poor, and up to the ears in mortgage-deeds. He has a piece (Miss Scott), of a marriageable age, who has formed a sneaking attachment to Mr. Fitzsmith (Brindall.) Soon after the rising of the curtain, Lord Feesimple comes to the office of Flam, in order, if possible, to raise money. The only expedient Flam has to suggest is, that the peer should marry his niece to some rich merchant or commoner, and he recommends no other than Fitzsmith, before mentioned. Lord Feesimple assents, notwithstanding his family pride, provided Fitzsmith can establish that he comes of good parentage, and is of respectable connexions. Here arises the difficulty; for it so happens that Fitzsmith is a foundling, and has no known relations in the world. On condition that Fitzsmith will give him the manor of Stokeham-cum-Pogis, Flam agrees to provide him with an ostensible father and mother, who shall impose upon Lord Feesimple. To this end he takes in hand a newspaper, and looking over the advertisements, beginning at the word "Wants," pitches upon two persons, male and female, who, he thinks, will answer his purpose. He writes to Dr. Birch (an advertising schoolmaster), and to Miss Maria Paddington, (maiden instructress in the French, of Stratford-le-Bow), saying several other Correspondents, are under considethat if they will apply at his office, they will hear of something to their advantage.

The author of the present work is an able man, but we do not find he has told us much that is new. On some points, we think, he has hardly done justice to the American character; at the same time, he evidently writes with great honesty of purpose; and, if he misrepresent, he does it unconsciously.

America is the land of electioneering. The author of these volumes, almost as soon as he lauded, met with a delicate specimen of election placards. "I was amused, too, with some of the placards which appeared on the walls. Many of these were political, and one in particular was so unintelligible, as to impose the task of a somewhat prolix commentary on my friends. It ran thus, in sesquipedalian characters, "On landing, he inquired for the best hotel, and directed his baggage to be conveyed there.

The pride of the young Haytian, (who, sooth to say, was something of a dandy, and made imposing display of gold chains and brooches,) was sadly galled by this; and the experience of every hour tended further to confirm the conviction, that, in this country, he was regarded as a degraded being, with whom the meanest white man would hold it disgraceful to assolearned, that 'going the whole hog' is theciate.

A human body should not be loaded with food as if the operator were filling a hay-cart.
