Before the election of 1844, we saw the whigs split into opposing seetions all over the country, by the quarrels and bickerings of the whig editors ; and we saw that the inevitable result would be the defeat of their candidate for the Presidency. We saw the same elements at work in this city preceding the late election, and predicted the consequence to be the overthrow of their party, and in both prediction has been verified. again pointed out these causes, but in vain city we have the Courier and Tribune arrayed against each other, and fighting their private quar- rels and misunderstandings through the columns of their respective papers, with a spirit of bitterness and malignity, disreputable to the editors themselves aud destructive to the interests of the patty, whose mouth-pieces they pretend to be And never was the democratic party more dis- tracted or divided than it was fora period preceding the late election; never were so many opposing factions to be reconciled, and never was so unfortu- nate a ucket, in every respect, put forth by the Sa- chems of Tammany, than in the late election.

The interests which Great Britain possess in our are far more valuable and important than the limited interest which she claims in the territory. Besides it is very well known, that the North Eastern Terri- tory continued in a state of abeyance for nearly | thirty years, each party claiming the whole of the territory, and yet there was no apprehension of going into war on that account.

Pan Tuxatne.—Another brilliant house last night at Lady Contest was, indeed, admirable, while the “ Sir of Mr. Bass, added to his already excellent repu- tation as a performer. At the conclusion of the farce, the curtain drew up for “La Bayadere.” Augusta danced with her usual grace and spirit, and drew forth loud and frequent bursts of applause from the audience. ‘The love of the beautiful—the desire to gaze upon that which is truly lovely, either in the glorious works of | nature, or the sublime creations of art—the studio of the | Poet, the painter,or the sculptor—the delicious soul stir- ring strains of music wafted to the ear froma full or- chestra—the graceful Jwitching steps of the dance picturesque groupings—all that elevates the soul to commune with an ideal world—that harmoni- zes and tranquilizes the feelings, and inflames the breast with purer and deeper enthusiasm —that inspires high thoughts and ennobles brave deeds—in fact, all that refines the taste, exalts true healthful sentiment, and throws beauty o’er the rough, rugged and thorno paths of life, is deserving of un- bounded, unqaalified praise. We therefore hail with pleasure and delight the grow- ing taste in this heaven favored land for opera and ballet, and the drama generally. Madame Augusta, though far inferior to Elssler as a danseuse, still illustrates the “po etry of motion,” and is, indeed, an embodiment of grace” She has met with considerable success, and merits a ge uerous support from the lovers of the beautiful. in the “Rondeja” her toilette last night was not so exquisitely Perfect as on its first performance, but the dance receiv- ed a very enthusiastic encore. Her engagement closes to night, and on Monday Mr. | and Mrs. Charles Kean,who have won “golden opinio wherever they have been, play an engagement of three nights only. Boweny Tuxatee,—The performance last evening passed off very creditably. Mr. Scott's Richard Darvij was very well s ed ; and so was Mr. Davenport's Maltravers, in the pie of “Ernest Maltravers.”— The whole performance passed off with éclat, and fully sustained the high reputation which the “old Bowery” has justly acquired.

Allah is great—Mahomet his prophet» | and De Meyerhis pianist !” So we said after his first ap. pearance at the Park, and so we say again, after last parts by a brilliant audience. We are not guilty of hy- | perbole, if we declare, that such a spectacle never has been witnessed in America, as that which took place du_ ring and after the Concert of this truly wonderful musi cal meteor, and we defy anybody to give a correct de- fcription of the enthusiasm which vented itsel applause, and we really do,'not know in what else—so confused was the noise. Great as was the excitement which he had caused at the Park, it cannot be compared | to that of last evening. The public actually scaled | posing factions—the Wright faction and the Van | the plattorm, where: the two pianofortes stood, and Buren faction, and the Anti-renters, each pulling a different way. it really was an amusing might to see Columbia's daughters climb over the benches, splay of pretty ancles and mignon fect, encased in the smallest possible ippers, to get a sight of his hands, and they reaily looked as if they expected to see twenty fingers, each with a steam | ( engine atitsend. We predicted that he would produce much more effect in the concert room than in the theatre, where the greatest part of sound loones itseii ishind the | coullisses, or is absorbed by the scenery ; but of that tremendous power we had not the slightest idea. It was not like one orchestra, but like five, and we are more and | more convinced, that De Moyer will always remain with- | outa rival. The first piece he played was. his Bussian | airs, of which we have already spoken. It was followed | by the Carnival of Venice. What shall we say of the | diablerie and grotesquerie of this gem. Never did Veiuxtemps or OlejBull, produce such a thrilling effect— never (id any other artist startle an audience insuch a | it be Paganini himself, as De Meyer | is Carnival. The any that followed it was | high degree, unless id with | deafening, and did not subside till he repeated it, intro- | ducing it again, as he usually dees, with an oxtempora- | neous fantasia ‘of the most enchanting beauty. ‘This | piece, together with his Marche Marocuine'”,will nover e forgotten by those who have heard it. ‘The overture | to Guillaume Tell, appeared like a piece of necromancy, | and we really do net know what to admire most, his wonderful memory in retaining such an awful quantity of notes, or the bewildering force of his execution, But the climax of the evening was his “Marche Marocaine,” which, we nearly could say, we | heard for the first time last evening, so immense was the power with which he played it, and we cannot conceive how the instrument could stand it. It sounded as if executed by an orchestre monstre. It was, of course, rapturously encored, and De Meyer electrified the aud: ence by imporiting the most lovely variations that can be imagined, on Yankee Doodle. It called forth an ap- plause of the most uproarious kind, and when the enthu- siastic old Mr. Henrick could not contain himself any longer, and actually hugged him on the platform, it | shook the walls of the Tabernacle. At all events, we | would advise Mr. Hale to have them examined, whether they have not been cracked in several parts. | repeat itd the enthusiasm which sthe | created last eee | exceeds every thing on | record, even the Elssler or Ole Bull mania.— Want of space prevents us from noticing at greater length the rest of the pieces performed.

His air from “ Lu- | cia de Lammermoor,” elicited much applause. Mr. Charles Pirabeau, a pianist of high standing in Europe, arrived in this country, presided at the pianoforte with much skill. He has a full and energetic touch, and as much as we can judge from the way he accompanies, we should think that he is a musician of | rare excellence.

The orchestra is to consist of 250 voices and nearly 100 instruments. The music is selected with great taste from Rossini, Weber, Balfe, and Bishop. Tho concert will, on the whole, probably be one of the most interesting that has been given this season. ‘Tur ALmamna.—This fashionable place of amusem still continues to be filled every evening with ence, who laugh themselves almost to deuth at the drol- | leries of the burlesque company. Last evening the Inughable burlesque upon Cinderella, called “Shin-de- heela,” and the most mirth moving burlesque we ever | saw, called “ Buy-I-dere,” the original of which all will recognize, were performed.

It consists of some 6000 inhabitants, mostly connected in some way with the Hudson Bay Company. We have heard, that of late years, the popilation of the colony was rather on the decrease. A number of our most respectable citi- zens emigrated from Europe, and reached this place by the above route, though we never heard them recom: mend it as avery agreeable way. The colonists are mostly adventurers, of which we presume the subject of the following to be rathera rare specimen. Ono year ago last June, ho pasted this piace, accompanied by his wie and others, on their way to the above settlement. — ‘They left St. Peters, twelve in company, but having lost their way, they endured almost every kind of privation, and were one hundred and twonty days in reaching theit ¢ of destination.

New E Nor THE Dror Game—Fontunes or Mn. —Mr. James Green, a verdant youth, ar- before, expected to find every body here imself. Having spent the day in looking li Mr. Green issued from his quarters in Barclay street, intent with the plan of spending his evening in witnessing some one of the various exhibitions with which this goodly city abounds. Now, before Mr. Green left Vermont, his mother cau- tioned him particularly not to go to any theatre, and Mr. Green, like a dutiful son, had given her a promise to that effect. Mr. Green walked up to the Museum and read the bill, bist thotight it too theatrical for Before he it, however, a gentienianly looking nd touching our iriend Green on the he was “looking for any place of ment?” Mr. Green replied that he was, but at the same time expressed his decided opposition to thea- trical perform: His kind friend also expressed himself as entertaining the same opinions, and offered to go with him in search of some amusement free from the pernicious effects of theatrical performances. They accordingly started and crossed into the Park. Whea near the basin a fellow came up and picked up a pocket book at Mr. Green’s heel. Mr. Green's 2 friend said to him, “is that your pocket book ? “Oh, no,” said Mr. Green. The fellow now ran off and Mr. Green and his friend ran after him, and after whard run caught him. ‘The fellow now said, “I don’t want the pocket-book. “If you,” addressing himself to Mr. Green, * will give me ten dollars for finding it, you may take itand got the reward.” Mr. Green said no ; and his friend said, “ © take it, or lend me ten dol- lars, and I'll take it then ; go with me to my stove in Ve- sey street and I will repay you.” Mr. Green accordiag- ly lent ten dollars to h , who took the pocket- book, and off they started. 'y walked down Vese: street, near to the wharf, whon Mr. Green getting tired, asked his friend if he could not give him the ten dollars | without going any farther. A thought seemed to strike his friend. .,"" Oh yes,” said he, “I willgive you ten dol- | lars out of this book, and will replace it to the gentle- | man who owns it.” He ce handed Mr. Green | 4,ten,dollar bill; and he thinking all was right,started off. He had not gone far, however. before he was tapped on | the back by another gentleman, who said, “sir, you are ray prisoner, you have been robbing a gentleman of a pocket book, and you must go with me to the Tombs. ‘This frightened Mr. Green. He knew that he hadten dollars in his pocket which he supposed was part of the | stolen money, and as the man who said he was an officer, | assured Mr. Green that the punishment was ten years imprisonment, he felt himself in rather a bad box. ‘The | pseudo officer, however hinted to him that twenty dol- ‘ars given ium would compromise the difficulty. vir, Green however plucked up courage, and knowin his innocence, determined to run his chance. ite left him, and Mr. Green went to his boarding house still | : Upon relating the affair to his | jandlord,he was informed of the whole trick, and the bill was found tobe a Lower Canada unsigned bill.

The speculation in the railroad stocks stil) continues with unabated vigor. The slight reactions | that have taken place in prices for these fancy stocks | within the past three or four days, have efabled some cline at the high prices ruling a few days since, have been able to buy inat lower prices, and make a smalf profit, but those who have looked for a large profit have | been disappointed, and it is very doubtful whether they | will have achance again very soon. The party having the control of these railroad stocks, to which the specu- lative movement is almost entirely confined, is strong It will» | however, be for the interest of these operators to let down prices in ashort time, for the purpose of getting contracts. Norwich and Worcester Railroad stock have reached a point within two per cent of the highest prices previously touched, while Harlem ranges more than twenty per cent, and Long Island twelve per cent below former quotetions. These stocks all started close together, that is, when the speculation commenced, they ranged from 60 to 66 por cent, and it therefore ap- pears that Morris and Worcester has gone up more ra- pidly than either of the others, as it is now quoted at twenty per cent above Harlem, and twelve above Long Island. Notwithstanding this great and rapid advance in Morris and Worcester stock, it has not gone much above its actual valueas a permanent investment. It is nearly a six per cent stock at present prices, and is daily improving in value- Harlem is really worth at least ten per cent more than it is selling for, as an invest- | ment, and it is very strange that it should sell in the market daily so much under ita actual value. We have | no doubt but that as soon as the speculation ceases in Norwich it will go into Harlem, and we should not be surprised to see prices for that stock advance as rapidly and at much as any yet have.

Should it be continued thus long, and the receipts increase in the same proportion they have within the past month, the total amount of tolls for the season of 1845, will be about three millions of dollars. The canals of this Stato closed last year on the 26th of November, if they remain open to that day this year, our estimates will be fully realized. Forwarders are pushing their supplies of pro- duce to market as fast as possible, and we have no doubt but that the weekly receipts for the remaindor ofthe senson will be larger than evor before known in the history of the canals.
