Socrety in New Yorx.—Society in New York, in consequence of the heterogenous materials of which it is composed, presents some of the most original, funny, and extraordinary traits imaginable. Composed as it is of Americans, French, English, Spanish, and people of almost every other nation under the sun, the inconsistences, peculiarities, and habits of each present a scene of contradictions which afford “ample room and verge enough” for the etudy of those who desire an intimate acquaint- ance with human nature in all its varieties. To see New York society in all its various phases, requires a residence, for a time, in some of theflarge | fashionable boarding houses. In such places, the | foreigners generally congregate. At dinner table ; may be seen the whiskered and moustached face, sitting alongside of a beautiful lady, whom he per- petually bothers with his broken English. The at- tention with which his trash is listened to,and which good breeding requires to be paid to every speaker, impresses the fool with the belief that he has capti” vated'the lady whom he addresses. Acting under this belief, he makes further advances, and some- times carries his presumption so far as te address the lady by letter, in his broken English. A case of this kind recently occurred at one of our fashionable boarding houses. The whiskered coxcomb had the impudence to address a beautiful young lady in the same house, and sent her three letters, which a friend of hers has placed at our disposal, and which we insert for the special benefit of the coxcomb who wrote them, and as an illustration of fashionable boarding house society in New York :— aA Nomagr 1. fapam !

This 1s merely a sample of the strange freakeand and outre manners which are generated in our sin- gularly mixed and compounded social system. Look at Broadway on a fine day! It comprehendsa greater variety of manners, styles, drese, and modes than even the Boulevards of Pans. Of late, how- ever, moustachios and impudence, imperials and ig- norance, have been making great headway in every public place—in many private saloons, and in soci- ety in general. But of all ridiculous things which we have seen, nothing is so supremely s0, as to see young men, natives of this common-sense land, en- deavoring to cultivate mustachios and imperials, and trying to vie with many of those outlandish ad- venturers, whose whole stock and fortune lies on the cutside of their heads or around their chins. jin Paris, mustachios and imperials have descended to the boot-makers, the journeymen tailors, and the lower orders of that great capital. Here they are just in their full vigor, and may flourish for a few seasons, to follow the way of all flesh and folly. Qg- Tue Petrre Guerre between the democratic factions in Albany is still lively and strong, extend- ing throughout the Western part of the State. The Argus has its train of adherents, and so has the Atlas. It is quite amusing to listen to the revela- tions which each of these make of the selfish and unprincipled conduct of one another.

One feature, however, in this war between the two democratic factions, which should be noticed, as constituting the distinction between the Argus and Atlas, is this—that the former is the representa- tive of the Polk and Marcy faction; the latter of the ‘Wright and Van Buren clique. Knowing this, and the explanation put upom both these factions at ‘Washington, may lead to some serious vmeute yet, in the politics of this State. From Mexico Direct, The schooner, Satah Lavinia arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz. Accounts, fhowever, of a later date, have been received, via New Orleans. The following significant remarks we translate from the Locomotor, a newspaper published at Vera Cruz, of the date of the 25th ult. The opposition to the ronment becomes dail; stronger and stronger, is daily more to be feared, The partisans of General Santa Anna have reconciled themselves ~ith the federalists and the centralists, and with most of .0: parties, which combination has for its object the resistance of the monarchical principle, which, it is understood, is the leading object and favo- rite measure of the present government. The govern- ment, however, in order to prevent or neutralise the co- alition, has resolved — @ public declaration in fav of republicanism. If the government were to act in t! sense,frankly and honestly, it mightrey which it has lost, and which has been lost by not adopt- ing, with decision, either one or the other party, viz: that of a republic or that of a monarchy. A government which has no known or decided political faith or creed, throws the country into discord or confusion. Accounts from Yucatan, received at Vera Cruz, state that at the last dates, the people were engaged in the elections for an extrao: assembly, which was to meet on the 23d of April, to decide upon the political position of that peninsula. Accor to the prevailing opinion, it is considered highly probable, that the As- sembly will declare at once for the absolute indepen- separation from Mexico. dence of Yucatan, and a total The hatred against the general government of Mexico, has become intense in Yucatan, and increases every day; it is the prevailing and loudly expressed opinion of the Yucatanese people in general, ‘that fir many years very government w: has had the ascendancy in lex! been a tyrant and oppressor of Yucatan. ‘Tho fall of the administration of Gecoral Herrera and of he constitutional Congress, wes heard of with pleasure in Yucatan, but without, however, any feeling of inte- Test or affection tor the government which succeeded.” This is strong juage in a Mexican journal.

Paituanenic Conceat.—The fourth concert of the fourth season took place at the Apollo Rooms, on Satur- day evening last. This is the last regular concert of the season; and we may say that, as a whole, it was the best ot the season, albeit there was no vocal performance in the programme. We never, heretofore, could discover | the reason, why the government of the society should reist in eng ig second or third rate vocalists, to sing allads or indifferent Italian scenas, after a magnificent symphony of Beethoven or Mozart had just enraptured senses of a judicious and criticsl audience —fer there certainly can be no doubt ot the fact, that the Philbar- monic audiences are the most critical and judicious that ever assemble in a concert room in this city. As peeet of this assertion, wo need onlyto point to the circu: that of late, atall their concerts, an auditory of nearly two thousand persons, would,for an hour and q half, sit in uninterrupt silence, and listen to one of Beethoven’s sym) nies, performed by some sixty or seventy instru- ments, and frequently encore single movements in such asymphony. If the Society, to please some of its pa- trons, must employ vocal nt, it should only be it of the highest order; and since Pico is in the city, rather astonished that her services were not en- ed by the Reversentets (if the society was aware of return, in time for this concert,) to give a relief to rformances on this occasion. We think it would ly pleasant, to have one of herglo- rie scenas, instead of the “ duett for two cornetos,” which was given, and which, though rather clever!: performed, seemed, in this room, following immedi- ately after the “Pastorale Symphony” of Beethoven, rather out of place. There was, moreover, a tremor and nervousness perceptible on the part of one of the Messrs. Dodworth, especially in the first part of the Duo, which considerably marred the effect. Mozart’s Sym- phony No. 2, in G minor, was remarkably w: ed, and is certainly one of the most effectiv. ing compositions of ita class. In many respects we pre: fer it even to the much more popular “ Sepitet Symphi ny.” A poetic charm, full of apparently simple diffic: ties, requiring the most exact attention to time, and the steady nerve ofan iron arm to conduct, prevails through- out every movement. The third movement, the mmnu- etto received a loud encove, thous, in our opinion, the second, the andante was as much, if not more, deserving of such acompliment. Mendelssohn’s overture of t! “Midsummer Night's Dream” was next given, and form: charm- udience. Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony No.6” in F brielet aged the second part,and was epaved very fairly, aihougs in afew points defective. seemed evi- dently to be a disagreement between idles and the tenors, as to the tempo of certain passages, in which it was only with difficully that the conductor kept them together. Ofthe ‘‘Corneto Duett,” which followed, we have spoken above, and the concert closed with the most favorite and effective overture to ‘La Gazza Ladra,” which was of course well performed. Thus closed the last concert of the fourth season of the Phil- harmonic Society ; but another, and a great concert is yet to come off, one too, in which it is th true lover of music to take the Warmest interest—' fer the ‘‘ Grand Concert in aidfof the fund for the erec- tion of the Philharmonic Hall,” which is to take place at the Tabernacle, on the 20th of May next. Sufficient funds have already been subscribed by the members of the pole: and othe: place the erection of this hall on a footing of comparative certainty, and we even learn that ap oa lot of ground has been secured.— The hall is to be bui. an expense of $100,000, and on &@ most magnificent scale ; tocontain concert room, musical library, reading room, stores, ke., ko. The fact that a good concert room is most sad- ly wanted in our city, has long been established beyond dispute, since the Tabernacle, the only room in New nough for a great concert, is so badly con- to be destructive toall sound. Ali the other are too small for such concerts as those of the onic and Sacred Music Societies, Leopold De and other great and popular artists. On the occasion of the above concert, “Beethoven’s Grand Choral ‘Symphony , No. 9,” will be given by the society increased to the strength of nearly four hundred v: and instrumental performers. This ‘Choral Symphony” is perhaps the most majestic piece of com) ever ut to paper. The words consist in selections from Schil- jer’s ‘Hymn to Joy,” which have been rendered into English, for this occasion, by Mr. Burkhardt. Besides the above mass of performers, it is expected that nearly all the dist ed mu: talent now in the country, will aid in the festival. of tickets has been fixed at three dollars for for alady’s ticket.

This artist is Senhor Francisco de Noronha, a Portuguese by birth, the scion of a most di: hed andnoble famil; id at same time an exile, and proscribed for 5 rr iples, and of all else, to tho divine art, bh rofession. From his fifth to his seventeenth year, young e Sa Noronha was confined in a monastery, as his fami- ly intended him for the church. Bat the Bishop’s mitre had no attraction for him. When Don Petro opened the monasteries in Portugal, he obtained the choice to enter (which, with the high influence re been the most bri it.) or to ig title, and to follow his inclina- tion to become anartist, but atthe same time, become an exile anda wanderer. Alone, without aid and essis- fof the ad his Nigh bizih, he ae avail himself of the advantages o rth, he ar- rived in the Brazils. He never, since his child- od, had received musical instruction, yeaa that, imparted by an old monk, a violinist of the orchestra inthe monastery,'in which our hero had been playing the violin, con amere, ever since boyhood. uring the first er reer atter his arrival in the Bra- zils, 8a Noronha trave! through the valleys and moun- tains of the interior, giving concerts among the natives or Euro} he chanced to meet, decidedly ow naturel. During these perambulations, he acquired much money, but with the 4 which genius ever has for riches, he — nearly e thus gained, in of purest charity. At last he arrived at Rio de Janeiro. Here, after giving a few concerts at the theatre, he devoted himself for some time to dramatic literature, and wrote sundry vaudevilles, to which he composed ithe music, remaining ‘all the time in strict retiracy, and endeavor. ing, without guide or instructor, to perfect himself on his favorite instrument. In Rio de Janeiro he became acquainted with Donna Joanna Paola de Manso. This lady, born at Buenos Ayres, is a well known and highly distinguished South American poete: and her life is so much tinctured with romance, distinguished Scandinavian bard, Harro Harring, made her the original of his “Dolores,” a historical romance of South rica, the first number of which has just appeared this city. Donna Manso is the authoress of a number of tragedies, which are frequently performed at Rio de Janeiro; but her lyric poems especially, have made her as celebrated as hated, through their bik oe political tendency. The spirit of lil which pervad them all, aroused the ire and fury of tyrant of Plate, by whom she was condemned to death. She caped from Buenos Ayres to Montevideo, wh again, direct and indirect attem) life made,and from thence she took refuge a where her father had obtained an engineer situation under government. Here Harro Harring made her acquaintance, and in his intercourse with the pi poetess, fpapetes the material for his “Dolores.” n August, 1843, Colonel }Manso, the lady’s fa- ther, returned with his family to Montevideo, Ha proceeded to New York, where he has remain- ed since, without iurther news of his South Ame- rican friends. The life of the poetess was ogain threat- ened in Montevideo, and a pistol was fired at her by an assassin, which fortunately missed its mark. Again she fled to Rio de Janeiro, whilst hor mother had the courage to return to their estates near Buenos Ayres; but these had been cenfiscated, and the mother was into a these lal Harro (congo) Harro Harring, who knew f occurrences, had just revised the last pages of the first number of ‘ Dolores,” when he received a visit- ing card, bearing the name of “ Francisco de Sa Noron- he.” This name, well known la the diplomatic and aiistocratic world of Brazil, astonished author of “Dolores.” He could not the object of the visit of so aristocratic a name to so staunch and hated a ly turned the card and the signature ‘“Joan- that some friend might ‘at the very moment of Dolores,” was overcome, not only was familiar, but also by no person in New York knew relation to “Dolores,” whereby to for such a@ practical jest.

Sunday, April 26—6 P. M. The stock speculators of Wall street have, within the past two weeks, experiensed very great fluctuations in prices; and both the bulls and the bears have had equal opportunities to realize good profits. The prospect at present is in favor of a farther advance in prices, and the bulls will, without doubt, be able to make up some of their losses, by the reduction in prices realized within the past three months. ‘We annex a statement exhibiting the quotations for the principal stocks used for speculation in this market, . | for each dey of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. ‘It will be observed that there has been, within the past few days,a very great improvement in most of the fancies—an improvement reaching, in many instances, from five to ten per cent.
