NE ‘New York, Sunday, December 14, 1835. _ “NEWS FOR EUROPE, BY THE STEAM SHIP CAMBRIA. ‘The Cambria will leave Boston en Tuesday, for Liver- pool, and her letter bags will close in this city at half past 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. This steam packet will take out some very important jotelligence, affecting our relations with England. All classes in Europe are now onxiously looking for the Intost news from America, and the documents lately published relative to Oregon, particularly tho last letters of Messrs. Pakenham and Buchanan, will be read with the greatest interest. It is our intention to give the fullest expression to the opinions and feelings on the subject in this country, in the Morning and Evening Herald of to- morrow. ‘The latest intelligence from Washington will be given in the latter edition. The Avening Herald will be ready at two o'clock in tho afternoon, with accounts of the markets to that hour, Holyday Herald. In the course of a week we shall issue our Annual Pic- torial Sheet, and it will be the most splendid affair of the kind ever got up on this continent. It will be embellished with over a hundred spiendid eugravings, graphically representing all the great oc- currences which have happened during the last year in all parts of the world. It will, emphatically, bea Daguer- reotype History of the World for the year 1845. Agents are requested to send in their orders. ail price will be sixpence acopy. Our re- Is the World at Peace? That justice is not done to America in Europe, we alladmit; that our institutions are not apprecia- ted, that our manners are misrepresented, that our policy is calumniated, that charges of ambition and of a grasping spirit are continually made against us, | all seem to admit; and, as if by necessity, a portion of the press pretends to make an outery against all this injustice. But what are we to think of the candor and honesty of such journalists in pretend- ing to join, when the occasion offers, the patriotic hurra against our European calumniators, while they themselves are our greatest calumniators at home? How can such renegade spirits arrogate to themselves the honorable name of American journ- alists, while they do not represent nor even under- stand American principles and feelings? We have been led into these reflections by the careful obser- vations we have lately made of the course of certain pseudo-American journalists in this city and else- where, upon the questions springing up within a few days past, upon the foreign policy of our govern- ment. The great ery of these men has been “Peace —Peace,”—‘“‘let us have peace; honorably, if | we can—but ifnot, at all events and any how, let us have peace.” Now these men,—we were going to say, argue—but of argument they are altogether incapable,—these men talk, and jume, and rave, as if all the world and all the other great powers of the world, except the United States, were at peace and were the friends of peace; and that we—we, the peo- | ple of the United States—were guilty of aggression, and were disturbers of a general peace, in our grasping views upon Texas, upon Oregon, upon nia, and perhaps upon Mexico. To say nothing at present upon the absurdity of sup- posing that, while the powers of Europe are to be permitted to aggrandize themselves and extend their dominions without bounds, yet it is forbidden to America to become greater than she is—to say nothing of such a gross inconsistency, let us see how far it is true, that the world, as these journalists would us to infer, is at peace, and that the Uni- ted States, under their new and bold President, are rui'ty, by their foreign policy and measures, of dis- turbing this supposed happy condition of things. What are the facts 2 The undeniable fact is this, that, of all nations of the world, at this present time the people of the United States are the most peace- ‘ul, while most if notall the other great powers are, ind have been for a long time, incessantly engaged in wer. Of all nations in the world the United States fave meddled least with foreign States; and, while all the other powers are seeking to aggrandize them- selves, and, to extend their territory by hostile ag- gressions and the subjugation of unwilling people, sue is the only power which has never sought and rseeks to acquire a foot of territory by force of arms ; and of all the vast domain of our great Con- federacy over whuch the stay spangled banner waves, notone foot of it all isthe acquirement of force or bloodshed ! No other nation can gay this ; and yet Europe cries out against us that we are ambitious, srasping, ete., and the whig journals in this country toudly echo back the reproachtul cry. The accusers, however, who raise the ery against us are the guilty party, and while they kindly and gently (by their or- ans here) urge upon us the duty, the excellence, the loveliness, the advantages of peace, they themselves Ss momeat of time the practical and unjust Peace in the world, indeed! Why it only is in America where it may be said there ispeace. Look at the three great powers of Eu- whom all the others follow with due subser- vience—England, France and Russia. Is England tpeace? Is she aot daily engaged in subjugating new provinces, and adding them to her already overgrown empire in India? Is this her peace? Hag she not her fleets and armies in China, only taking a little rest after shaking a peaceful empire to its centre, and waging a sanguinary warfare against her? Js this her peace? When has she been at peace? It would be difficult to answer that ques- tion. And when has she been satisfied, and ceased to add to her dominions? That too, it would be difficult to answer ‘Then let us look at France. For fifteen years has she been engagei in a cruel, fierce and san- guinary war of aggrandizement against the poor and simple Matometans, the pastoral Arabs of Alge- ria; and this bloody war, in which people have been exterminated with fire and sword, and whole tribes, of all ages and sex, smoked to death in holes and caverns of the earth, appears only at its beginning. [s this peace? Then, again, behold these two powers together—see them, with their combined forces, car- rying the war into our own western hemisphere, and taking part in the feuds of contending republics, See France chastising Mexico, plundering her of a iribute—see her again seizing upon the power of the Sandwien Islands. Is this peace? Last of all, let us turn our eyes to Russia, the greatest of these three powers, and the most warlike. How long has Russia been at peace, or when has she given symp- toms of satisfaction, and led the world to expect an endto her aggrandizement? Is the annexation of the vast kingdom of Poland a mark of peace, or a proof of her moderation’!—an annexation begun with blood, continued with violence, and only yet subsisting by the force of bayonets and fetters! ig this peace? Is the vindictive and horrid warfare, so long carried on against a brave and free people, in the wild fastneases of the Caucasus, and stjll caging with fierce intensity—is this peace ? On viewing all these things calmly and consider- » we shall be led to the conclusion that the couunonly received opinion that peace reigns in the world, is founded on error; also, we may be led to another conclusion—a safe one, we believe—which is this, that the great European powers are never to are att violators of it. rop be trusted—that they are insatiable in ambition, | reckless of the blood of nations, and attack the harmless and innocent whenever they dare. That while they talk to us of peace, they are the practi- | cal enemies of it; and while they would circumscribe us in narrow limits, they put no bounds to the license of ther own aggrandisement, ee Law Counts. —Our courts were generally engaged in arguments yesterday, as by previous notice, and all cases which have hitherto engaged their atten- tion are ye’ in fransitw, and verdicts are still held in reserve.

W YORK HERALD. | native party is in its death-throes—the voice 0! wail- ing is ising trom its midst, and its more respecta- ble and intelligent members are seeing very plainly the entire futility and ridiculousness of the party plans. Within a few days past the storm, which has been so long brewing, has broken out. The gene- ral executive committee and the leading editors of the party are at loggerheads with thosewho have done | », all the dirty work, and the latter promise in a few | days to come out with an exposé of the political ma- chinations and intrigues of the former, and threaten to go on their own hook, clear of party traces. This exposé will be an exceedingly rich and funny affair, and will be a very interesting chapter in the mystery | | of partyism. With the death of the native party, the religious | | factions will cease to exist. They were called into | lite a few years since by the hot-blooded zeal of | Bishop Hughes, at Carroll Hall. This created an | Irish party, and the native party, which immediate- ly arose, was but an anti-Irish party. Like the Kil- | kenny cats, they have eaten up each other, and with their death our country will cease to be cursed with that worst of all phases of partyism, the religious. | American AFFaikS aT THE Sanpwicu IsLanps.— The American residents at the Sandwich Islands | | have addressed a memorial to the President of the | | United States, relative to their grievances. The memorial, after stating that on their part the memo- rialists have conducted themselves as good citizens, acting in conformity to the laws of the country, | states that their rights have pot been respected, while privileges granted to other foreigners have | been denied to them : that for nearly two years past, | the government has been usurped by unprincipled men, the laws changed and rendered obscure and unintelligible, and the courts and juries mere tools | in the hands of these men. Americans have been threatened with confiscation if they did not swear | allegiance to the King of the Islands; merchants, | for not patronizing the government newspaper, have also been threatened severely; and American busi- ness has been cramped and embarrassed. The American agent, and also the commissioner, have ‘been grossly insulted, and American property is without protection. The memorialists acquit the native rulers of blame, and charge foreigners as the cause. They state that Americans are the most numerous of the foreigners there, and yet are with- out protection; while the British have always a ship of war on the station to protect their few subjects; they, therefore, request similar protection. The memorial concludes with a prayer that their complaints may be investigated, their wrongs re- dressed, and American honor be vindicated. It is | dated Aug. 27, and signed by the American resi- dents of Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. } Musicat.—The taste for musical and operatic | performances has never been greater in this city than at the present time, and during the last few months. Among the fashionable classes, in particu. lar, and from thence through the whole range of | society, has this musical revival had effect. The German opera has been successful beyond { the most sanguine expectations of its friends. i The extraordinary success of Leopold de Meyer, | has also been an example of this. He is the master | pianist of the age, and his success must be attributed to the discriminating power which New Yorkers possess, united to his great merit. There has been | of late considerable inquiry in regard to this great | artist, who was so unfortunate, as just in the height of his brilliant career, and when the anxiety of the | people of Boston had reached its highest pitch, to injure one of his fingers, which incapacitated him | from giving them the long-looked-for treat. We are happy to be able to say, however, that he is fast recovering, and will soon be able to™ gratify the wishes of the Bostonians. He is looked for in New York with great interest. Mr. Templeton hag probably been more successful than any other vocalist who has ever visited this country. After a brilliant career in this city and at the East, by which he must have bagged $10,000, | he has left for the Southern States, and will not \ return here for several months. There has, how- | ever, been some little difficulty of late between Mr. Templeton and the gentlemen who assisted him at his concerts in this city, who say that they were | not treated by him ina proper manner. The Insh | Emigrant Society, also, who were negotiating with | him for a concert for their benefit, also complain of his ill-treatment. The nature or cause of these , complaints we do not understand. | Mrs. Mott’s career has thus far been successful, _ and promises to continue so. She has been de- lighting the Bostonians, but will soon return here, from whence she goes to Philadelphia. On the whole, the friends of the musical art, in all its branches, may congratulate themselves upon its present success throughout the country, Medical Matters, The prosperity of the medical colleges in this city, is one of the signs of the times. The old ré- gime is passing away, and a new dispensation is being received. The theorists must give place to practical men—and hence New York, which can illustrate every disease to which human flesh is heir, better than any other city in America, is now tast becoming the focus of medical instruction. The thousands who are continuaily fiocking to the various hospitals, dispensaries, and cliniques, for | medical and surgical aid, open an unrivalled practi- cal school for the medical student. That every facility, consistent with the safety of the patient, should be afforded to students at all our blic medical institutions—first, from motives of umanity; and secondly, from those of interest— no one willquestion. The community, all over the | country, are now demanding of the young scions of the profession a familiarity with disease, only to | be acquired at our public institutions; and it is not a little thing, even for this big city, that medical stu- dents are now annually spending hundreds of thou- sands of dollars among us. But with all the advantages presented, greater | facilities might and should be offered. Atthe New York hospital, the regulation which debars stu- | dents from visiting the same wards daily, isa bad one. After Ist January, last year, it was custom- | ary for the physician and surgeons to allow the stu- dents to accompany each of them twice a week | or If there were a case in the surgical ward in which | a student became much interested, and wished to | watch its progress aul, he could oaly see the pa- tient twice a week, This is evidently bad; for it | is of little use for any student to run through a dozen | wards in a day, catching only a glimpse of the pa- tients. He wishes to select those which will illus- trate the diseases he is now studying, and to follow their daily progress, observing all the symptoms a8 they rise, and watching the effects of the resedies prescribed. ‘This could not be allowed last year— | it should be this. _ The gentlemen who had charge of the dispensa- | ries last year, were far from being as obliging to | Studeats as they had a Sy to expect. The writer | of this called a ong of the dispensaries, and polite- ly requesting the privilege of I:stening to the exami- nation of patients and seeing the iptions, was | told that the regulations of the alapemry did get | allow it, that he must retire. such be the regulations, they should be at. onee changed; for | medical students musi leern either by seeing the practice of others, or by practiaing themselves on their patients. Whether it be betterfor tie com- munity that students should dome thousands of miles at an expense of hundreds of dollars, to find | that the practical oppartunities for studying disease, which might be froyed here, are he: round by every conceivable barrier, or that every ible fa- | cility should be afforded to them, those who baye the authority in regulating these matters must judge.

[From the New Orleans Tropic, Dec. 3.} From our files ot Havana papers, received yesterday the Titi, we gather some pi ulars not before given, which, if at all to be relied on, throw new upon our present relations with Mexico. We find in the Diario dela Marino of the 14th ult. it after alluding to its previous notices of the intelli- received by the steam packet from Vera Cruz on to state that persons well acquainted with th. rets of the Mexican Government, bay that propos tions to that Government have been made by our Consul at the city of Mexico, to settle the boundaries of the two countries (the annexation question pein considered set- tled,)in the following manner: —The United States to pay an indemnification of $4 or $5,000,000; their boundary line to be the Rio Bravo del Norte, including part ot the States of ‘Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Chihuahua, and New ico, together with the city of Santa Fe.

Total loss, 34,075 square leagues. The writer of the letters from Vera Cruz does not believe that the Mexican Government will accede to such a such a proposition, at least, not for so small an indemification as $4 or $5,000,000." It is al: the same authority that Propositions have made for the acquisition of New California. daries would in that case be—the River lig! them Paper, genc 3 west from the Rocky Mountains, through ti Sonora. This acquisition of territory would give us the harbors of San Francisco, Montery and San Pedro. we give the above speculations for what they are worth. : {Fxom other New Orleans papers.} The schooner Laura vigils arrived yesterday from Tabasco, whence she sailed on the 19th ult. We make an extract from a commercial letter with which we ha: been kindly favored :— ‘Tanasco, Nov. 9, 1849. ‘We are glad to say that the revolution which broke out here on the 2lst of June last was finally quenched on the | 28th of September, when this province again returned to its allegiance to the supreme and general government of Mexico, and we now enjoy perfect tranquillity.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, Dec 4.] Our files of papers come down to the 7th of November from Vera Cruz, and to the Ist from the city of Mexico. On the 5th ult. as the Mexican steamship Montezuma was firing a salute, three men were killed on board—we presume from the bursting ofa gun. ‘The Spanisn brig of war Patriota, frigate Maria Chris- tina and another brig were lying at Sacrificios; tl English brig of war Persian and French brig Griffon. he Vera Cruz papers announce the continued arrival of troops in that city from the interior. The motive for these movements is not announced. El Amigo det Pueblo of the 1st inst., published at the city of Mexico, pours out a torrent of abuse upon Presi- dent Herrera and his Ministers, for their course in acce- ding to any further negotiation with the ited States. Inany other other country, where the legislative body is influenced by any regard to public welfare, thoy would, it urges, be impeached and removed from office. According to this rather scand«lous and viol the administration consents to part with Tex Rio Bravo for its boundary ; to renounce also co, and parts of Chihuahua, Coahuila and Tamaulipas. The paper th.n appeals to the citizens and to the army not to tolerate so iniquitous a treaty. Mr. Parrott is de- nounced in the most ignominious terms, and Herrera called an arrant traitor for entering into any terms with him whatever. The Amigo goes on to say, that on the 29th of October, the Minister of Foreign Atlairs presented himself to the Chambers in secret session, and had the effrontery to read to them let'ers from the American Consuls at Vera Cruz and Mexico, in which a note of Commodore Connor was quoted, which announced that the squadron under his command was withdrawn from Sacrificios, in conside- ration that the Mexican Government had agreed to re- ceive an Envoy from the United States, who would ar- rive for the purpose of settling the boundary between the two countries. And, says the migo, “the ignoramus a Minister had the audacious impudence to congratu- chambers and the country upon the auspicious This it follows up with a violent appeal to the ople to come to the rescue, to rally under the cry of inion and War!

Arista, coe him wi h acting in concert with the Texans. The Minister of War took an early opportu- nity of defending the General in his place in the Cham- bers, denouncing the .2migo’s assertions as calumnious and scandalous. The latest we hear of Gen.

We could fill our Paper with reports to the War De; ent upon these Indian outrages, and the late success of the Mexi- cans in ay opctn them. A letter is published from Gen. Arista, dated at Mon- terey, Oct. 9th, reporting tothe government an affray between Capt. Camerani, of the artillery, and a citizen ‘ named Prado. The latter had given offence to the sol- dier by some ous newspaper squib, and was chai tised for his pains. ‘The matter was \urned over to a mi litary tribunal for examination, &c. Cen. Arista im- proves the opportunity to inveigh agsinst the scurrility of the press, which has been especially directed against Bicissll and other officers of the army. El Centinela of Ures, of Oct.3, gives further accounts of the incursions of the Apache Indians,in one of which a conducta going down from Hermorcillo to Guayamas was attacked, several killed and wounded, anda very considerable booty carried off. The government has received intelligence from Du- rango of considerable success against the Indians in that department.

It seems that the quarrel between the factions of Regulators” and “ Moderators,” which so seriously disturbed the quiet of | the country last year, has hot yet been entirely quelled. iy In the early part of October, itis stated, one John Wal- len of Hurisoa county, belonging to the faction of the ‘* Moderators,” having heard that his li’e was threatened by one of the opposite clan, named Davidson}, of Rusk county, anticipated that design, and killed Davidson.— The murder was committed in Shoiby county. The af- fair crerted much excitement. A large party of David- son's frignds had turned out to capture Walden, and 30 of his clan had voluntee ed to protect him. The result was not known. It is obvious, adds our informant, that these disorders will continue watil the country is brought under the jurisdiction ofthe United States. The samo correspondent reiates also the following “On the twent eighth day of this mon young mancalled Simonds, only eighte en years of age, is sentenced to va hung at Shejbytown, county of Shelby, in Texas, for the murder of 7 A case of such aldom brought to no- d, Simo: tempted to implicate others, but they were soon c! eared. from any parti- cipation in the crime.

Jesse D, Elhott, one of the oldest officers connected with the | American navy, in the sixty-second year of his age. He had been a great sufferer for several months : past, his principal complaint being dropsy on the | chest ; but there were some collateral diseases, | | which were exceedingly painful. For a peried of over forty years, Com. Elliott had served his coun- try with fidelity; and, although frequently censured | most harshly, by a portion of the American press, | for his devotion, or, as it was often called, his slavish sycophancy, to the ruling powers at Wash- | ington, we believe his acts were generally prompted by honest and patriotic motives. The love he bore | the late President Jackson, frequently led him | into ridiculous errors or excesses; and, for his de- | votion to that great soldier and statesman, it cannot be doubted that he has been more severely censured in high party times, by the whig press,than any other naval commander who has served his country so long and so faithfully. Com, Elliott entered the navy in 1804, as a mid- | i | shipman ; and in 1812, we find him on Lake Erie, | | as a Lieutenant, superintending the naval affairs on | | that lake. In October, of that year, he gallantly | captured two British vessels, the Detroit and Cale- donia, while they were under the protection of the guns of a British fort. Ellott’s force was twoboats, | manned by fifty men each, and the attack was made | | at 3 o’clock in the morning. The Detroit mounted six guns, and had fifty-six men, besides about thirty | , American prisoners; the Caledonia mounted two | guns, and had a crew of twelve men, and a cargo of | jura valued at $150,000. Several attempts were made to retake the latter, but she was finally de- | | | stroyed by the Americans, who also burnt the De-. ted troit, after they had taken out of her a large quantity | of mili stores. : When Com. Perry took command of the Ameri- can fleet on Lake Erie, in March, 1813, Lieut. Eltiott had been promoted, and commanded the brig Niagara, of twenty guns, Com. Perry himself select- | ing the brig Lawrence, also mounting twenty guns, | for his. ee There were eight other sm: | vessels in leet, the whole mounting fifty-five | guns; while the British fleet, under the command otf om. Barclay, mounted sixty-three guns. With the | battle which took place between these fleets, on the 10th of September following, and its glorious result, our readers are well acquainted; and it may be well for John Bull to brush up his emory, in relation to it, atthistime. After a well fought battle, the stars and stripes were triumphant, and the whole of the | British fleet was captured. History tells us that “Capt. Ellott particularly distinguished himself by his exertion and skill.” “The loss on the side of the Americans was twenty-seven killed and ninety-six , wounded—total,one hundred and twenty-three;while the loss of the British, in killed and weunded, was one hundred and sixty. The rejoicing at this victo- ry was every where so great, that our principal ci- ties and towns were illuminated in honor of it. Of | | Com. Perry’s prowess on that occasion, it is not ne- cessary to speak. He fought like a tiger, and was | exposed to the heaviest of the battle. He will ever | live in the hearts of his countrymen, as one of Amer- | 1ca’s most daring, and chivalrous, and successtul | | naval heroes. Com. Perry, much to his credit, spoke | in terms of high commendation of the conduct of | Capt. Elliott, in his official account of the battle, | hen. nullification ran high in South Carolina, Com. Elliott was ordered to the command of the | naval forces on that station, and there, 1t was said, he made himself, at times, a little ridiculous, by | identifying himself too closely and too zealously with the union party. His flag ship was the Boston. But matters in that quarter were luckily settled with- out bloodshed. : For several years Com. Elliott was in command of the navy yard at Charlestown, Massachusetts, where he made himself obnoxious to the political enemies of President Jackson, by causing to be placed on the bow of the frigate Constitution, a bust of that popular old fighting cock, which was afterwards mutilated, or cut off, in the dead hours of the night, during a heavy tempest, by Captain Dewey, then a resident of Boston. This head was | afterwards exhibited @ supper, given by the “whig safety committee” at the Stackpole house.— | It was subsequently sent on to Washington, and we | believe 1s now among the rubbish in the navy de- partment, Mr. Van Buren having conditionally for- | given the offender. The Constitution having been | ordered round from Boston to New York, a new j figure-head was placed upon her bows by one of ; our skilful carvers, and she has borne it proudly ever since. : | Com. Elliott, within the last ten years, has seen | much active duty, and has been in some bad scrapes. He commanded the American squadron in the diterranean for two or three years; and we believe , he got into a scrape there, and treated one of his | lieutenants in an unoflicer-like and_ungentlemanly manner, for which, and other offences, such as turning a part of the frigate Constitution into a sta- ble for jackasses and stud horses, he was tried by | court martial at Washington, found guilty, and si | pended for two or three years. His sword was re. turned to him, and he was restored to the honors and emoluments of his office, by President Tyler, long before the term of his sentence had expired; anit! he was afterwards appointed to the comman of the navy yard at Phila ellie in which city he | sank to his final rest on Wednesday evening. We cannot conclude this notice of the death of | Com. Elliott without remarking that his character | ' was a perfect riddle. In his social relations he was | warm hearted, and generous, and devoted—his hos- | pitality was boundless ; to his friends, he was true, and warmly attached; while towards his enemies he was ever bitter and relentless. He was fond of showing the medals and swords he had received | trom different legislative bodies, for the valor he displayed during the last war, onthe Lakes. He | appeared to be a child of impulse, and was often in hot water when there was no need for it. His ol- | fer of a sarcophagus to Old Hickory was decidedly | in bad taste; andefor that he received a chaste but | witherjng rebuke from that sturdy democrat and pure Christian; and many persons think, to this day, that the man he chastiséd in one of the Read- | ing. railroad cars, was hjred tq stand the caning! We never believed it Our lunits will not permit us to enlarge upon this subject. It is one of teeming interest. Com. El- liott now rests in the silent tomb—peace to his ashes! The old familar maxim, “say nothing of the dead except that which is good,” reminds us that we must be cautious in our remarks about the i} | | deceased. He had many enemies who had but lit- | 7 tle confidence in his courage, and in that respect he | suffered some, as our quondam friend, Col. Webb, does: he algo had many warm friends. If we mis- take not, he was Com. Uarron’s second, when that officer shot Decatur. His impetuosity, restlessness, and imprudence, often fed hun and his friends’ into | awkward errors. Perlsaps the meanest thing Com. pun ever did, was his attempt to pluck a leaf of aurel from the grave of the lion-hearted Perry, to | adorn his own brow; but now he lies as low as | that brave officer. ‘After life’s fitful fever, he | sleeps well ;” and it isdiflicult to tell how he now | feels, or what he wou'd say if he were oe to | address a crowd of young officers at this time. On the monument erected to the memory of Shakespeare, in the church at Stratford, his birth- place, 18 an inscription which would suit the Com- modore exactly : “ Good friend ! for Jesus’ sake forbear To dig tho dust enclosed he: Biest be the man that spares these bones ; | And curs’d be he who moves my bones.” | } Movements of Travellers.

Paak THeatar.—Last evening Shakspeare’s play of the “Merchant of Venice,” was presented to a large audience at the Park. ‘This is one of the most peculiar works of the “ master of the human heart,” and exhibits in colors such as itCan nowhere else be exhibited, the disposition to grasp even the “pound of flesh.” Mr. Kean’s Shylock was a deep, powerful and terrible performance. He be- came for the time the very impersonation of unrelenting seldshness, and exhibited in a powerful and truthful light the repulsive but faithful conception of Shakspeare. Mrs. Kean, as the sweet and cunning Portia, was charm- ing—particulerly in the trial scone,when, disguised as a doctor of laws, she binds Shylock to the letter of the bond. She carried herself with an air of grace and no bh which Se ceases aloneto her.

We could not but notice considerable improvement in many respects, with some changes in the machinery and scene- ry, which did great credit to the management. As to the singing, it hardly admitted of any improvement, though the voice of Herr Boucher, as one becomes more familiar with jinging, appears every time better than the last. This is an infallible test of a good singer—it is something like the great paintings of Raphael, or some great master, which the louger they are contemplated, seem to unfold greater beauties, which had escaped attention before. One of the most lovely and charming ports of this beau- tiful opera, is the scene between Agathe and Anchen, Miss Korsinsky is delightful in this passage—the perfect ease and vivacity with which she trips along, shows her to be as good an actresi She was much admired in the aria— “Ifa youth should meet @ maiden, Neod she run away with fright Mad. Otto was in excellent voice, and was greeted with rapturous applause. 4 Herr Meyer’s acting and singing won for him much ad- miration.

It is high time ou ! ity was disenthralled, reformed, redeemed from the absolute disgrace under which it has been lyin, for years past; and I think and hope the me has ar | rived when it will be emancipated, and take a proud. ! apre-eminent stand among her sister cities, for good and clean’streets, a superior police, and every othe: | necessury reform and improvement, at a cheap rate This can only be brought about by selecting and electing men to manage our municipal affairs whc are known to be of first rate personal character, and who have always managed their own affairs with | the strictest honesty, honor, and propriety—mer | who have never been hackneyed or trading politi ticians or applicants for office, and who will only ap point such men to the offices to which they have the appointment. With such men our city would as: sume a very different aspect from what it is at pre- Y }sent—the inhabitants would be more comfortable, ‘ad. | 4nd more secure in their lives and property. Immo | rality and crime would decrease, and with all these desirable improvements, a great decrease in ow taxes would follow. i This subject has engrossed a ‘pornoe of my thoughts and attention for years, and [ have longec for a change in our municipal government, but to n¢ purpose. Ever since the last election, | had intend. ed to write a communication for the Herald on thi: subject, but other avocations prevented me trom do ing it. Accept of my best thanks for the trouble you have saved me in anticipating my intentions by your excellent leader. I think the time has come when something effective can be done.
