Movaments—More Bartiworr Con- venTIons.—We perceive by John Jones, of the Madisonian, and other Tyler sources, that great preparations are making by the Tyler men per se, in the States of Pennsylvania and Ohie, to hold al- soa Baltimore Convention in the month of May, and on the same day on which the regular Van Bu- ren Convention is to beheld. Tyler meetings have been held in Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and delegates partly appointed to meet there on that day, for the purpose of “organising the party,” and nominating Captain Tyler for the next Presi- dency, in opposition to Clay, Van Buren, and any other candidate that may be run. This is a most curious, amusing, original, phi- losophical, financial per se movement. We hardly know whether our friend John Jones is serious or injoke. Sometimes we take him one way, and sometimes the o:her. He is one of the dryest jo- ers in the country; sometimes we think we will | laugh outright at him, and sometimes we think we willery. At all events, there will be a third Con- vention in Baltimore. Mr. Clay’s friends hold their’s in the beginning of May. Mr. Van Buren’s supporters muster on the 27th, and on that day al- so Mr. ‘Tyler's friends meet to oppose them, and we suppose that there will be half a dozen additional Conventions arranged before the month of May comes. Asforthe Fourth of July Convention, it seems to be knocked on the head completely. As the Clay Convention and the Van Buren Conyen- tion can take care of themselves, and as it is pro- bable that the Tyler party per se may want a little aid, we may be disposed to send our reporter there and give them as much assistance as is in our pow- er. They will want some before they get out of the woods, that’scertain. What they mean to do, or how they mean to turn, or what direction they mean to take after May, we do not know, nor is it at all likely that they are themselves any better in- formed on these points. Seriously, however, we cannot help Jamenting — “=| (Friday) evening. As anappendix to the lecture, Gg- H. W.

They were completed at, Princeton, and when only fifteen years old he received the degree of A.B. in that institution, dividing the first hon- ors of his class, of which he was the youngest member, with a student several years older than himself.’ He was eurly distinguished for his devo- tion to study, his ready acquisition of know- ledge. his talent and independent spirit. : _In 1804, General Armstrong bei: appointed mi- nister to Franee, selected Mr Biddle as his secre- tary, he then being in his nineteenth year. The period of this mission was one of extraordinary importance, and the duties required of him were of a responsible and arduous nature. Three years were spent by him in Europe in travel, and during several months es to his return home he was secretary to Mr. Monroe, then minister to England. In Philadelphia again, Mr. Biddle was admitted to the bar, and commenced the practice of the law. At the came time that he pursued his protession, he devoted his leisures hours to literary engagements, be- ing one of the most able and 1 popular contributors to the Port Folio, a magazine in high favor, edited by Joseph Dennie. In 1810 Mr. Biddle was elected to the Legisla- ture. Inthut body he distinguished himself by his en- lightened devotion to the public interests. He was the of the mysteries of the mansgement of the Bowery, Park, and other theatres with which he has been connected during the last years of his residence in Ia his lecture, Mr. Barry took the liberty of re- proving with a good ¢eal of severity, the action of the press, as tending to the decline of theatricals. He accused the critics of a disregard of justice and manliness in exposing the foibles of the stage, or in encouraging young genius in that line of art. Now, if Mr. Barry would tell the whole truth, we believe he could give a picture of the management of certain theatres which would throw a great deal of light on the decline whic! the legitimate drama has encountered in this city. If we go back afew During the struggle of the bank for its existence, Mr. Biddle labored with a zeal and ability that few contempo rary statesmen or financiers could have excelled. In this remark we mean not to applaud his prudence or the ex tent of his forecast, Were it our purpose to draft a mere eulogium, and not an honest outline of his career, we should be compelled toadmit that a diferent line of policy on his part in the outset of the contest between the ban| and President Jackson, might have secured a different fate for the institution. ‘The incidents of this contest, and the events subsequent to the expiration of the national charter, are too familiar articular mention, Different opinions—as personal feelings or interests, or political sympathies dic- tate, must be entertained respecting the share of Mr. Bid. dle in the government of the bank, and the acts which led to its prostration after the State charter had been ranted. Perhaps atthis day, when every member of this community is more or less operated upon by influences affecting his judgment in the case, it is not possible to ar- rive at a view of it, which will satisly all enquirers.

These are examples of the mismanagement of theatres which Mr. Barry might enlarge upon and give a great many anecdotes and incidents. But do not let himsay that itis the independent press—thay the press has done this. It originated with the management themselves—with the actors. They have produced it.

It seems that a very searching examination is about to be made rela- tive to the manner in which the bank has been conducted, and there is the greatest probability that before the expiration of the present session at Trenton, that the bill will be repealed. No doubt the Legislature of New Jersey will do their duty in the premises. The efforts of these miserable shin-plaster financiers to shave the people out of their hard earnings, and particularly the poor me- chanics, by resuscitating broken banks of all kinds, ought to be put down by every honest man in this and all other communities. rdrk.—In the absence of packets with later news nena party in the free States. ‘They will not raise a| We yesterday, for the sake of a little pastime, beat single ripple on the surface of the two great moye- | °Very other paper in this city in obtaining the ments of the whigs and locofocos.

As a public man, in the Presidency of the United States Bank, he conducted its affairs, during the first years of its existence, with great skill, integrity, and pru- dence. But as soon as the miserable, intnguing, corrupt politicians of both parties, got hold of him, when he wanted a re-charter, he went astray tar- ther and farther, until the institution exploded, and strewed, as we have seen, the whole land with its Procress or Licenriousness.—Almost every newspaper we take up presents us with evidence ot the progress of licentiousness throughout the coun- try. It is tortunate, however, that side by side with this we have evident symptoms of a regenerating spirit, and that the great spirit of the law will be invoked to suppress the evil in the course of time. Just look at the papers forone day. In Brooklyn another and a more terrible case is alluded to, worse even than that of the miscreant Judd, who ranaway.

Everybody could observe at the first movement, and it was observed, that he labored paralyzed all his powers, so that we really thought it would be impossible to bring the performance to an end. It was obvious that Vaitellina hed hardly strength enough to walk, much less to sing, and notwithstanding, some cowards, because it is cowardly to attack a sick singer, had the. hardi- hood of hissing him in the duett of the third act, where his force had given way through the fatigue of his previous exertions, Valtellina ought to be proud of this affront, for the audience showed through a frenetic clapping and thumping, perhaps never witnessed in any theatre, the high sense they entertained of his rare merits, and their contempt at this outrageous conduct. It is quite natural that under the existing circumstances justice could not be done to the opera, because the part of Lord Ashton is one of the most important, particularly in the beautiful finale of the second act, which he leads and supports. “ : j tBorghese proved herself, as always, a singer di primo cartello, and evinced much taste in the ex- ecution of her ornaments and colorature, partly pre- scribed by the composer and partly introduced by er. Much caution is required to employ them in the right place, and, if possible, rather in the ca- dences than in the body of the air, where running passages, as in the duett between herand Lord Ash- ton, should never be omitted to make room fora succession of shakes. No ornament is of greater rtford Convention.

This reproach cannot be addreased to her other pieces, as for instance the duett with Perozzi, in which he sung the mez- za voce passage of the second part with surprising finish and bravura. Perozai ied his brilliant role cen amore, and made quite a hit with the maledetto sia Pistante and his grand air. He gave the touching passage— Ma ti vidie in cor mi naque Alto desio ¢ Vira taque, with surprising roundness and delicacy, although this purely sentimental style is not entirely in his sphere, his voice not being flexible enough, and more fit for the semi-heroic airs of Alamiro. By the by, Signor Perozzi, do you know that you would die a much easier death if you would stab ‘ourself in the left side, where the heart is, instead of the rignt side?, Do it—it gives you the same trouble. It is fair to add that Mayer sang his air very well, but looked too young for a tutor and peacemaker ; one observes immediately that Lucia priangelamadreestinta, for a loving mother would not have trusted her daughter to such a dashing teacher. | X _ Lucia will undoubtedly become a greater favor- ite than the two first operas _ The Puritani satis- fied the connoieseur, Belisario the public.

Lal papal aaireay Aap adanarged —The increase of burglaries in this city for the past several weeks, has been perlectly astounding, and they will continue until the Mayor inghis judgment, under the power already in him, will authorise the re-establish- ment of the night patrol police to Stee the propert; of our citizens from midnight marauders. While th trol was in operation under the direction of the police m: gistrates, more burglars wore arrested and more burgla- ries prevented than at any previous period for years past. ‘The small potatoe, short-sighted motives of some few members of the Common Council, who know as little of police matters aa they do of algebra, compelled the ma- gistrates of the lower office to abolish this important arm of police improvement, on the ground that the ex- be, in their opi- nion. givefull scope to the energies of burgl heed of watchmen than if they were lamp posts, and day after day are burglaries registered in the police books and rewards offered for the detection of the rognes without ef- fect. ‘The Mayor haf full power and he should give direc- tions forthwith to re-establish the patrol police, and thus cause the property ‘of our citizens to be protected until the Common Council enact such an ordinance as will meet the public demands. ‘Lams axp Gas.--One of the most important measures of improvoment in city affairs connected with the protec- tion of the lives and property of our citizens, 1s the com- plete lighting of our streets, which at present, in a gene- ral sense, needs much improvement. The oil used in street lamps, or the manner in which these lights are not ept in order, render them almost useless, and the rules that govern the Jamplighters, in their occupation, render the present system of lighting still more ridiculous, If the almanac signifies that the moon should give light, no matter to what an extent darkness may prevail, nor for how many nights it may continue, not a lamp displays its light until the almanac informs these pnblic agents that the moon will not appear above the horizon after sun- down. The miserable apologies for light, as exhibited in the lamps in which oil is used, should satisfy the whole community that the sooner they are abolished the better.

The Massachusetts Western Rail Road is at this ment creating a great deal of interest in the minds of cap- itelists, both of Boston and this city. The adjustment of an agreement with the Worcester Company, will make a great difference in the value of the stock of the Western Road. The election of the high fare party will have a very great influence on the receipts, as well as on the ex- penditures, as these connected with the road, whose salaries were reduced, were very active in electioneering for the “ Bliss party,” with the hope of having their pay increased on that party coming into power.

Rumors or Deraucations.—A good deal of as- tonishment was created yesterday morning by rue mors of defalcations committed by some of the officers of the General Government in this city.— We believe these rumors are premature. Itis not yet time. After the 4th of March next year, we In the meantime we would may hear something. advise all taose connected with the administration of the finances in any shape, to take care of them- selves, and in the fall spirit of the sensible adage, tomake hay while the sun shines. It is the last chance. They have distinguished examples betore them, from a thousand dollars toa million and a quarter each, and they must recollect that in this peculiarly moral age of the world, a man on leaving office is respected precisely in the ratio of his de- falcations, If he robs to the extent merely of a tew thousands, he is set down as a poor devil; but if he steal half a million, he is considered a dis tinguished man. The robber of a million is of course placed inthe very highest rank of respecta- bility and fashion. He takes the lead in the waltz in the drawing room—occupies the first seat in the dress circle at the opera—is president of the so- ciety for the diffusion of the gospel in foreign parts —and in all respects is the first man in society.— Tn a former age all this was doubtful, but its now quite settled.

Some of them have really duction and producing abortion, and sent to the pe- nitentiary for a year, and mulcted in $200. In this city, John Jones, the button maker, awaits the just sentence of the law. Such is the picture for one day of the state of morals throughout the country, and the state of the law. What is the reason that our Legislature does not move atall in this business? Michigan and Pennsylvania have passed laws against licentious- ness, and Ohio has it ready. Every effort ought to be made todo something for the suppression of this great social evil. zine shall succeed. The number of March is really one of the most beautiful affairs we have seen. The mezzotint by ‘Sadd is admirably execu- ted, and the design is very poetical. The letter press is superior to former numbers, and altogether this magazine is just the thing for the boudoir or drawing-room table. Snocktna Acciprnt.—We have been inform ed that a man, named Taylor, employed in the Iron Foundry of Joseph E. Coflee & Co., in this city, was most shockingly injured at 11 o’clock yester- day morning, by a heavy piece of iron striking him onthe head. It laid the side of his face open; and it was a matter of doubt in the mind of the physi- cian whether the man would survive. Native Canpipate ror Mayor.—We perceive that the Rev. Mr. Hale of the Journal of Com- merce, recommends to the nativesas candidate for the next Mayor of this city, the name of Hugh Maxwell, formerly well known as District Attor- ney, in the famous conspiracy cases, which grew out of the explosion of 1825. In some respecis, Mr. Maxwell may have a good deal of merit for this office, but in others we do. not think him alto- gether fit. He does not possess that liberal and comprehensive mind, which it is necessary for the Mayor of this city to have. But one of the most curious recommendations given him by Mr. Hale, is his nativity—calling him a native of New York! Now we happen to know from the very best au- thority in the world, that Mr. Maxwell is a native of Edinburgh, in Scotland. Yet that is nothing against him, neither in his favor. But it ma: be a very fatal flaw in his character amongst ‘he natives, However, that’s their business, and not this evening. Just look at the bill. has no equal at present amongst us, a bumper.
