Pang Turatae—Leoron pe Meven'’s Conceat.—The | fourth appearance of the Lion-Pianist attracted a crowd- | * ed and fashionable audience, who lavished upon the “Paganini of the piano forte,” the most enthusiastic plaudits that ever shook the walls of old Drury. Here’ peated by general deetre his splendid fantasie, with va- Fiatious, on the “Barearolla” from “ L’Elizire d’Amour,” atthe conclusion of which, a laurel wreath was thrown | to this iacomparable artist,amidst the heartycheers of the | house. He played it with that uarivalled purity and asto- nishing ¢ravoure, which has;made him such an universo, favorite with the connoisseur and the public at large,not- withstanding that the instrument was not in perfect tune. | The gem of the evening was a new composition, the | “ Maveke Triomphale ’Isly,” which had mainly contri- buted in Eufope towards placing him above any living | pianist, It is an admirable work, principally distinguish- | ed through a most charming 1ythme, imitating the nding of the trumpet, set off through a melody which | annot fail to produce great effect even after a solitary | hearing. It was received with tumultuous applause, which did not subside for several minutes, till he re- sponded to the encore in playing his ‘ Notturno” in the fur famed “ Marche Marocaineo,” unquestionably his most astounding composition. ‘To-morrow he will ‘appear at the Park for the time but one, when ho will repeat | his © Marche d’ id play, moreover his “ Lucrezia | “1 ives his farewell concert at the Ta- Mr. Murdock will appear to-night as Claude Inotte, in the “Lady of Lyons.” He will be support: ed by Mrs. Bland as Pauline, and much is sntionated ¢ the performance, as it is a character well suited to urdock’s style of performance. Bowxuy Turatue.—The favorite drama of “Nick of the Woods,” which has been such @ fund of wealth 20 the old Bowery, will be brought forward to-night.— Our minds revert to the days when this drama was first | preduced, end the immense excftement it then created.— | And certainly with its present cast, including Mr. J. R, | Scott, Davenport, Mrs. Sergeantand Mrs, Phillips, it will | be by no means inferior in its attraction. Messrs. Cony. | and Blanchard appear in the second piece. These gen- tlemen are most excellent actors, in fact unsurpassed in their peculiar line, and the almost human intelligence of their dog Hector adds much to the interest of the beautiful drama of “Napoleon, or the Deserter and his Dog.” Tho equestrian drama of “Mike Martin, the Mighwayman,” which was received with so much ap- plause last night, wall conclude the evening’s entertain. ments. Mu. Temeterow gives another of his charming and | fashionable entertainments this evening at Palmo’s thea- | ‘re. It is needless for ustosay any more than that it is | to take place, The character of his concerts is so well | ‘snown and appreciated, that a crowded house may be | looked for with certainty. ‘The subject for this evening will be Rurn and Sir Walter Scott. | Ovx Buts.—The closing concert of this great artist | will be given to-morrow evening at the Tabernacle.— ‘Phat this is the last opportunity of hearing him in this countty, would be sufficient to fill the house—but when it is joined to the circumstance that his performances are forthe benefit of the widows and orphans of the Ma- | sonic Fraternity, we can with safety predict that this union will produce an overflowing house. He will be assisted by that rising young artist, Mr. Duffield, Miss De Luce, and Mrs, E. Loder. Mr. George Loder will | lead tho orchestra, and Mr. Timm will preside at the Piano, Atnamna.—The Ethiopian company are by no means behind hand with the rest of the places of public amuse- ‘nt, asthe crowds that nightly assemble there testify. ‘Their entertainment are chaste, refined and amusing. ‘The extraordinary impulse that has been given to the- atricals of all kinds inthe U. States, is a matter of some importance, inasmuch as it shows the general prosperity which the country is enjoying. People having their pockets full, are now willing to disburse freely for the purpose of obtaining amusements, much to the benefit of the army of managers, actors, authors, translators, Se &e., who derive their living from the profit of things theatrical, The great pianist, Leopold De Meyer, has created such a perfect furore by his performances at the Park ‘Theatre, during the past week, that the whole mu- sical world bas, as it were, lysed with aston. ishment at his genius.

Ocr. 28.—Sarah tS Marriage vs. Lewte Francis.—Breach of ‘omise.—This was an action instituted by is respectably connected in this city, and in one of the paper stores in Fulton street, to recover damages for breach of marriage promise, against the defendant, who keeps a paper and stationary store in Maiden lane, and the inventor of the “ Manifold Letter Writer.” The case created a good deal ot interest, par- ticularly amongst the friends of the parties. There was alarge array of female witnesses in attendance, who | evinced a good deal of sympathy for Miss Steele, who is a lady of unblemished reputation, moving among a large and respectable circle of relations and friends in this | city. The detendant is also long and tavorably known in the community in this city, and married a widow lady in March last, ia violation of his alleged engagement with Miss Steele, which has caused her to institute the proceedings in the rat case, to recover compensa tion for the injuries her feelings have sustained thereby ; und also for the damage which her future prospects are likely to sustain, in consequence of the alleged dese: by the defendant. Mr. Croswext opened the case as follows :—Gentle- men of the Jury, this is an action brought by a lady against a man, for the non performance of marriage pro- mise—a form of action which is not very frequent ia our Conrts—and which comes before you, gentlemen, for the purpose of deciding upon its _m It will be my business, gentlemen, to state # of the case to you, and introduce the testimony to sustain nd it willbe | | yours to pass upon it. 1 shall proceed to lay before you the facts we intend to introduce in evidence. Some ten years ago the parties engaged in the present suit, were | engaged doing business together in Book binding esta- | blishment, belonging to a at in this city; and both | being engaged in doing business in the same establish ment, a friendly acquaintance was commenced between Miss Steele and the defendant, who was serving his time to the business, That acquaintance continued until the de- fendant got through his time; and he subsequently went and sought employment elsewhere. Within a short time | after completing his apprenticeship, he renewed his ac- quaintance and commenced his addresses as suitor—this was in the year 1836 or ’37. He then having recently commenced his business as a book-binder and stationer, and also become engaged in the business of manufactu- rering of what iscal:d the “Manifold Letter Writer,” | he carried on his establishment in William street, still paying bis addresses to Miss Steele; tut the marriage was not arranged to take place, owing to his situation at that time, which he considered would not justify him in incurring the expenses of a family. It was, however, understood that they were to be married as soon as his circumstances should improve; and the courtship conti- nued, with this understanding until the year 1840, when a written correspondence passed between the pi and this was the only occasion in which it occur'ed. At that time, in the year 1840, the period had arrived when they were to have been man , and in one of his letters of correspondence at this date, the defendant state: time is near when we are to be happy tog A year, however, passed over period fixed upon, and he still continued, growing more warm,and looked upon by all am ir acquaintances—the young people with whom the asso- ciated—as parties who were duly engaged, and those at- tentions so continued until the fall of 1844,’ Without as- signing any reason, he suddenly ceases his attentions and intimacy, and in February 1845,he finally deserts her and marries another lady. Since that time, gentlemen, he has never given the least reason or excuse for thus shendoning her; and the only rei offered by him for tl allthrough, namely, his ci period had’ favorably change consummate his promise—the point had just arrived when Miss Steele had expected the fulfillment of his en- gagement, for then he had just gone into the book-sell- ing business in Maiden Lane, and it was at this very pe- riod when she exp the marriage would be consum- mated, that tho defendant in this case broke through his engagement. He has never, gentlemen, given an excuse to this respectable lady for the wound he has inflicted | upon her feelings; he is perfectly familiar with her cha- racter and circumstances, and there is no reason grow- ing out of any circumstance which could favor or jus- | tif y excuse or any apology, and we cannot find any | thing in the whole case that would afford the remotest | grounds for the formation of any apology. The fact gentlemen, the lady to whom he got married was | aware of this intimacy, as he was with her four or five years, she having kept a boarding | houee; and there was no excuse, except, posssibly, the | very circumstance in relation to better situation, which he doubtless considered he would acquire by his mar- riage with this lady. It was not love that seduced him | from us—no, gentlemen, he thought he could make | some better alliance, end ‘nothing else; but something | of this kind can be imogined. He is now living in re- { spectable style in this city, in very comfortable cireums | atances—I Know of no excuse he can offer, unlessit be | at | th a the privilege to determine not to { hay edatall And with regard to my client, gents the lactis, thatnow having been engaged 5a time, and through a period of life, which to valuable, she is now to be left to earn her liv. | she can, deserted by this defendant.

The express object of the first mentioned meeting, was the purpose of settling certain ditticulties, diderences and disputes, wnich have for a Jong time past existed among the repealers of this par- ticular district; andthe avowed intention of the other meeting was to make arrangements for the ensuing elec- tion.

Long Island went up} per cent; Canton 1; Norwich & Worcester }; Reading R R 4; Mor ris Canal }; Harlem, Stonington end Vicksburg closed firm at yesterday’s prices. The transactions were large. Foreign exchange closed firm at our last quote" tions. Sterling bills are firm as 9} a 9} per cent, premium, but the sales have not been very extensive by this packet, as itis anticipated that the Hibernia from Boston will reach Liverpool before the Great Britain, for that conveyance, as they save three or four days in terest. ‘The speculation now going on in some of the railroad stocks has, within the past week, advanced quotations from five to ten percent. Notwithstanding this advance these stocks are not selling for more than they are worth for permanent investments. More than twelve months ago these stocks were selling at ten and fifteen per cent above the present quotations, and they have in the meantime improved very much in actual value. Rail- road stocks, above all others, are investments of a cha- racter ensuring, ultimately, returns sufficient to make up allarresrages. Tbese works are so intimately con- nected with the commercial operations of the country, that they must experience an improvement correspond- ing with tbe growth and prosperity of the whole Union. The present quotations for many of the railroad stocks, bought and sold in this market, are about the same .as those ruling previous to the war fever, that spread so generally over the country, and had such an unfavorable influence upon all kinds of business | matters. The dangers that for atime surrounded our ex- ternal commerce, and the difficulties in our foreign rela- tions that threatened to destroy tho peaceful relations that exist between this and all otner countries, have dis- appeared, and everything looks favorable for a long pe- riod of prosperity. The banks of our large clties are steadily expanding their movements and extending fa- cilities to advance every enterprise that makes its ap- pearance in the commercial world, and as the business operations of the cities increase, the country banks will be called upon for discounts, and the currency very ra pidly become inflated. New banks are springing into existence inevery section of the country, and the in_ crease in banking capital has within the past year been a larger per cent than in the previous five. The railroad mania of Europe is spreading to this country. Its ad- vance here will be more gredual than in England, but when once under way, it will be nearly as exten- sive. By the arrival of the steamship Great Western from Liverpool, we have commercial advices from all parts of Europe seven days later than those receiyed by the Hi- bernia at Boston. The news is highly interesting, and in a commercial point of view very important. All doubts in relation to the harvests of Great Britain are removed, The crops this year will be at least three illions of quarters less than last. The accouats of the yield concur in representing it to be below an average by at least 5 per cent, that is 57 pounds per bushel in- ef 60 pounds. The crop of last year was about an average, and amounted to about 21,000,000 quarters, while the highest estimates for 1845 are 19,000,000 quar- ers. This relates to Wheat alone. |The oat crop will be about an average, but all the root crops are shert, particularly potatoes, the decline being general in all parts of the kingdom. It will be seen by these statements, that the wheat crop alone is short twenty-four million bushels, com- pared with last year, which must come from foreign countries, in addition to the quantity usually imported inwo the United Kingdom, to make up the amount re- quired to supply the demand for consumption. ‘There is at present very little doubt but that as large an amount of corn will be required from foreign coun- tries, for consuinption in Great Britain this year, asin any previous; not that the deficiency in the crop of wheat will be so great asin former years, but because the defi- ciency in other crops will be greater than usual. Any deficiency inthe supply of corn advances the prices, and compels the poorer classes to fall back upon the lower priced orticles of food, such as potatoes, and all kinds of vegetables, but this year they will not have that native. There appears to be a corresponding deficiency inall the principal articles of food. ‘The largest amount paid by Great Britain for foreign grain was in 1839, when it reached £7,516,364, At which time there was only £2,526,000 in bullion in the Bank of England. In 1941, the value of foreign corn im ported into England, amounted to £7,485,912, and in the same year the bullion in the Bank amounted to only £4,- 436,000. The Bank of England has now on hand bullion amounting to £14,305,670, and the quantity of foreign grain, necessary to supply the deficiency, in the crops of the Kingdom, and the demand for consumption, that must within the next twelve months be imported, will not be much, if any less, than three millions of quarters of wheatalone, or twenty-four millions of bushels, va- lued at least as high as eight millions of pounds sterling, or more than one-half of the bullion in the bank of En- gland. We do not see the effect of a short harvest in Great Britain so much in the drain, it alone has upon the bul- lion of the Bank, as we do in all the manufacturing and commercial districts, and upon the price of the great sta’ ple productions of the southern section of this country. The Bank of England could stand a drain of more than half the amount of bullion in her vaults, without redu cing its paper circulation a single pound. The Bank never has put out its iseues to the extent permitted un. der the new banking law of Englan!, by eight to ten millions of pounds sterling, and @ reduction inits bul- lion to that amount, could have no influence upon the Jn 1839 and 1841 when the bullion in the bank became reduced to so small an amount, it was not caused entirely by the bad harvests of that peri” of 1835 to 1938 had reduced the resources of the bank to a vory low point, and weakened it in other pointe, so that when the two short harvest of 1839 and 1840, came upen the country the bank was not in a position to sustain itself, and was compelled to call upon the Bank of France for aid, which was granted,and the Bank of England saved. The country is now more able to bear the evils one short harvest can produce, but that they will be great, no one can doubt: The part we bear in the general depression, comes through our cotton, the price of which must be very un- favorably affected. The exportation of breadstuits, nde” mand in Great Britain will produce, will relieve our pro- ducers of a portion of their large stocks, but should we find a foreign market for every bushel of wheat we can The mail steamer North America, running be- | spare, it would not offset the tosses experienced by the | tween Halifax and St. Joh on a recent trip to the ter place burst her boiler ; after repairing, she sta on her return trip, and burst up again.
