Madame Celeste has returned from a short pro- fessional tour in the west, to her little establish- ment at the Adelphi. A new piece is in rehear- sal, in which Madame Celeste has a principal part, peculiarly adapted to the genius she so emi- nently possesses for embodying picturesque cha- racter and wsthetic grace. Mr. Webster and Madame Celeste have been delighting the Bath folk by their performances. Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews are en- gaged at the Surry Theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Keely, Miss Villars, Mr. Meadows and Mr. Vining, are at the Adelphi. John Barry was giving concerts at the Hanover Rooms, London, to large audiences, at the last accounts. Madame Anna Thillon, the nightingale of the stage, has been engaged at the Haymarket Theatre. Crescentini, whose celebrity at one time was immense, and one of the last castrati which had obiained repute, has just died at Naples, at an advaneed age. For nearly thirty years Girolamo Crescentini has ceased to sing; buit he still retain- ed the sinecure office of vocal professor at the Conservatoire of Naples. Napoleon named him a Chevalier of the Iron Crown. Tamburini is expected to sing in Paris, on the inauguration of Rossini’s statue; he will sing the ** Pro Peceatis” of the Scabat Mater. The Grand Opera at Paris being about to place a statue of Rossini in it principal saloon, it is intended to honor the inauguration, by the per- formance of the illustrious maestro’s Stabat Muter. The Ethiopean Serenaders are making their fortunes. They are engaged day and wight. The Duke of Devonshire entertained a select party to luncheon at his residence, at Chiswick, on Sature day. They were engaged on this occasion, and met with thei usual success; the amusing Mr. Ox- tr vaginza, the Railroad Overture, being repeated, y jesire, three times. There were present the rincess Esterhazy, Duchesses of Sutherland and Dowager of Bedford, Marchionesses of London, derry and Lansdowne, Marquises of Londonder- ry, Lansdowne, Statford and Normanby; the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Dietrich- stein, Countess de Salis, Countesses of Granville, Newburgh, De Grey, Jersey, and Dowager Mor- Earls of Burlington, Jersey and Grenville ; sount Cantilupe, the Russian Ambassador and the Baroness Brunow, and one hundred others.

The musical amateurs of Vienna have recently presented to the talented musician, Liszt, a silver embossed pupitre, (a desk or writing stand,) orna- mented with the busts of Beethoven, Weber, and Sehubert, of the value of 3000 florins.

Duvsses—Plaided silks are now much worn, trimmed with flounces cut on the cross, the sleeves and corsage being likewise onthe bias ; the prevailing colors are green and lilac, sky blue and brown, cerise and white. Evenixo Dursses—Lace is universally adopted for this description of costume, the form of them generally resembling those named a la Fontanges, and a la Pompa- dour. Redingotes are at present much worn, made of silk ; they are embroidered en tabli in silk braid; when buttons are used, they must f the richest i tion. The sleeves of these pelisses are made open at the elbow and wrist, and diminish so the under white sleeve. Some of these dre: trimmed with narrow ei agés, and of two shades. TrimminGs For Dugssxs—La passementerie is now as muc! ed for the decorating of dresses as for the orna- menting of the pardessus. These fringes are put on in several rows round the lower part of the dress, whilst those which are used for the ornamenting of polisses ; have a flat appearance, and form a kind of brandebourg trimming, such as upon an orange silk material a largos Tubans satinées white. Le tablier of an open mate of the same color, forming spirales, intermixed at distances with pearl tassels. Cays—Those now in fashioa are of the most charming description, and of an infinite variety. We sce them, for instance, made in French tulle, blonde tulle, and tul- le-bouillonnée, and all chiffonnées, or arranged in a thousand different forms, a la vielle, ala Charlotte © or- day, a la Marie Stuart, ila Sevigne, a la Maintenon, &c. ‘The favorite forms are those which are rounded at’ the ears and trimmed with roses. Those for morning cos- tume are ofa round shape, and made in lace and ribbon, resembling in appearance those worn by our great grandmothers. Cuareaux—Le gris feutre is certainly more preferred to the gris fauvette. These hats are of a shallow form, and open, which renders them very different to the Pa- shape. ‘They are mostly decorated with spotted plumes, ribbons, or clouds of gauze, throwing a softened shadow over the countenance. Those in sky blue poult de soie are very elegant when covered with British Mechlin lace, or made in gauze lisse, white upon pink, and decorated with a drooping flower or feather. Noves-tixe.— We have remarked some very charming white canezouts, which are worn upon low dresses, made of muslin embroidered au point darmes, and enc’ with two or three rows of lace. Les fichus .Maintenon are also in great favor; they are simply a half handker- chief of lace guipere, fastened over the chest with a neeud of ribbon FioweKxs—Spring has at last ushered in a perfect shower of the most splendid howers which the garden or hothouse can produce, toliage of every description, branches of the lilac tree, and clusters ‘of violet, the beauti{ul bluet flowers, and red poppies, thistles, aad the eglantine, as well as the globba, encircled with its long leaves, branches of the filbert tree, the tiger flower, with its large pink petals spotted with black points, wa- ter flowers sprinkled with dew, leaves of the water cress, the elegant iris flower of the violet color, with its long Jancevlé leaf, the fleurs de glayeuls, and numberless others, too numerous to mention.

Suaw.s.—On one side we see the most charming white China crépes hux broderies Chinojses; then the splendid black ones, in the same material, richly brodés in colors, les crepres de Chine, of a sparkling red, similarly em- broidered, shawls of lace, which serve so gracefully to envelope the figure, and ‘last! embroidered muslin shawls, lined with a pretty light hue the same as the pelisse, or with numberless rows oi fringe put on en tablier. Mareria.s.—A charming novelty has just appeared, which is called La Grenadine de laine, and is destined to eclipse these nankins and foulards which have lately been so much in vogue; it is embroidered au crochet, nd forms a delicious costume for the country, or sea: side. We have seen it made up in the pelisse trimmed with rich fancy ornaments, which have a very pretty effect. This generally ue We $e Markets. Lonpow Moxy Marker, June the commencement of actual hos!

Indian corn, although a few further parcels were taken to-day for shipment to Ireland, must be noted 1s per quarter be- low the rates of this day se’nnight. Of bonded wheat no sales have been reported to-day; but of Western Canal flour one or two parcels have been disposed of at 22s 6d per barrel to arrive, and 23s per 196 lbs. is required in store.

All’business has been perely sed, to a considerable extent, by the delay in the government tree trade measures; by the uneasiness in the money mar- ket, arising from the large number of railway sche which have already received the sanction of the Hou: of Commons, and by our relations With respect to the Uniied State: is generally consi dered here asa mere question of time when she will be independent ef this country for a supply of iron; ee, e Uni- the United state: rectly upon their own resources, which are vast, and in- ferior to none in the world. Experience, in various trades in Great Britain, has demonstrated the advantages they have derived from a diminution or removal of pro- teclive dui Thus, with the American ironmaster, it would result in his sooner reducing the cost, improving the quality of his iron, aud rendering further importa- tions from this country unprofitable. As it is aay expected the Oregon question will be diplomatically ar- ed, this consideration does not much influ market. The Mexican affair is considered more serious. ‘The demand for Railway Iron still continues to be vei large; and were it not for the strikes and high expecta- tions of the mechanics and labouring classes, the con. sumption ofiron in all the manufacturing operations of the country weuld be much greater than it is. At sent most of the large engineering establ.shments in Great Britain will be fully em loyed for a long time to As business is gene: jat during the summer months, we cannot expect much improvement {ra few weeks; but the iron trade appears healthy, and higher rices may be expected in the fall of the year.

Pork does not Ll freely—American shipments not being in favor for ship stores. There is some demand for low qualities for export. For Bacon there would be a free ‘vale, but there have been no arrivals during the past month, and none in market. Hams do notsell except to a very limited extent. Of Lard, is now a large stock in first hands, the ar- rivals more than keeping pace with the demand. We make Is per cwt reduction on eur last quotations, both in barrels and kegs. We have no Cheese on the market, and, consequently, cannot quote its value accurately. From the high value of English, however, we infer that 54s to 56s could be readily obtained for the best dairies of America.

Co- | lon & Adriance. | ‘The Foreign News—European Politics—Ore- | gon Treaty and Mexican Mediation. Our advices from Europe by the steamship Ca- ledonia, at Boston, from Liverpool, are, in a polit- ical point of view, rather important and interest- ing. It appears that the great powers of the old | world are looking forward to certain events with the greatest anxiety, and, we might add, the great- | est fear. The peace of Europe hangs upon the slightest thread—that of the lives of two aged indi- viduals. The deaths of Louis of France, and Met- ternich, of Austria, may at any moment take place, as they have been long expected, and that moment will be a crisis in the affairs of the world. England is preparing for this crisis. The sudden settlement of the Oregon question— the offer of mediation between this country and Mexico, in relation to our difficulties with that country—the arming of Canada, and the efforts to reconcile the various interests of her North Ame- rican provinces, are evidences of the determina- tion of the British ministry to leave nothing in this section of the world likely to attiact attention in the event of difficulties nearer home. There appears to be an effort making to concentrate her forces to meet any emergency the political changes on the continent of Europe may produce, and the government naturally wishes to be relieved from any apprehension of a rupture with the United States. We attri- bute the abrupt and hasty settlement of the Ore- gon question, principally to the policy Great Bri- tain has been compelled to adopt, in consequence of the position taken by France. Had the British ministry been successful in their efforts to draw the French government to their side, and have perfected the combination contemplated by the principal powers of Europe, in relation to the an- nexation of Texas, and succeeded in getting up the proposed protest against annexation, the Ore- gon question would have assumed a different shape, and the ultimatum of Great Britain would have been such that it would not have been ac- cepted by the United States. When we look at the repeated offers which have been made by our | government to settle the north west boundary, and which have been as repeatedly refused, and compare them with the terms of the treaty re- cently ratified, based upon proposals from the British government, no one can resist the conclu- sion but that some powerful influence has been | brought to bear upon the question, as unexpected as it has proved effective. This influence, which has,at all events, secured the peace ef the tyo most important powers in the world, is nothing more or less, than what we have alluded to in the beginning of this article.— | The eyes of Europe have been turned upon this | continent, and there has been an effort made by several of the European powers to preserve what has been termed the balance of power among the | republics of North and South America. With what success their efforts have been crowned,the | whole world is conversant, and it is highly proba- | ble that no further attempts will be made to pre- serve a better balance tlran that already in exist- ence. At all events, there is very little doubt but | that the republics of this continent will be left to | regulate their own balances, without requiring | any aid from the polifical mathematicians of Eu- | rope, and in the Mexican affair, “Old Rough and | Ready” has already been selected as the media- tor by our government, aud he is the only one that the American people will recognize. From the little black clouds which have from | time to time appeared in the east, we should | judge that the political horizon of Europe was | not so clear as the governments of that continent | would wish; and itis in anticipation of these black clouds enlarging and spreading over a greater | surface, that has withdrawithe attention of those | more interested inEastern affairs,from the political millions of the western world. Separated as we | are from the governments of Europe, we take no | particular interest in their political concerns ; our geographical position prevents us from being em- | broiled in any of the disputes and difficulties | which have, in two instances before this, been of | signal service to us in accomplishing certain im- | portant political objects. The settlement of the | Oregon question is another favorable result of do- | mestic difficulties in the political families of Eu- | rope, sofar as we are concerned. } i} | Wesr Pornr Acapemy.—In certain sections of | the country, among the sausage democracy and oyster cellar literati, it has become quite popular of late, for the want of some better theme upon which to exercise their | tongues and pers, to decry the character and use- fulness of the military academy at West Point. In order to rebut many of the false and ridiculous charges urged against the institution, and in con- sideration of the fact that the country is now en- gaged in a war,in which many West Point gradu- ates have shone conspicuously, we thought proper | to despatch a special correspondent there, whose letters were published in the Herald through last | week, and which exhibit the true state of affairs | | | | | at West Point. | The history of West Point is generally well | known. As a military post it was conspicuous | in the stormy days of the revolutionary struggle. | | No sooner was the war concluded, than it became a matter of discussion how the country could be | prepared for defence, without the manifold evils of a standing army. In 1798, Washington, after | mature deliberation upon the subject, proposed to | Congress the establishment of a school for instruc- | tion ia military affairs. By an act of Congress March 16th, 1802, a military institution was esta- blished at West Point. This, however, was ona small scale, and it was not until 1812, when the country wason the eve of a war with England, | that the institution was permanently established upon its present basis. Since that time many gallant officers have been educated there, who} have done theircountry servies ‘on the western | and northern frontier, in Florida and Texas; and several of them have been slain in bate The objections urged against the institution ore generally made by those who have no knowledge atall, ora very slight one, of its practical opera- tions. Firstly, its usefulness has been much called in question. It has been said, that officers spring- ing from the walks of civil life, are as well quali- fied to direct an army as those who have received a military education. The course of instruction | pursued at West Point, is a sufficient answer to this. For four years the cadet is engaged in all the studies which pertain to military affairs. Not | only is theoretical kriowledge imparted to him,but | he is tanght the duty of a foot soldier, and a dra- goon. He is practically instructed in the manu- facture and use of al! the weapons and destruc- | tive materials used in modern warfare. For nine or ten hours aday, during four years, the cadet is | engaged in this study and practice, under the 2 at aa eae EE and to say that it is of little or no advantage to him, would be equivalent to the statement that the child will know as much without study as with it. Something more than mere personal courage is necessary in time of war, and this something is given to the West Point students; and around these military students one ‘hundred thousand of volunteers can gatuer. Within the last few days, fifty-nine young men, who have passed honorably through their course of study, have graduated, and are now ready to serve their country where most their services are required. Each one of them is capable of com- manding acompany of men upon the field of battle—either in infantry, artillery, or cavalry.— Where, in the walks of civil life, can the govern- ment readily command the services of an equal number of'as capable men? The idea of making officers without instruction, is as absurd as that of making mechanics without apprenticeship. Another grave charge urged against the insti- tution is its aristocratic tendencies. It is said that only the sons of the wealthy and influential are allowed to participate in the benefits which the government bestows here. Even if this were 80, it cannot be construed into an objection to the institution itself, but only to the mode of ap- pointing candidates. Eachrepresentative district is entitled to one cadet in the academy; and out of the great number of applications the Secreta- ry of War selgcts the one for appointment, recom- mended by the representative trom !the district from which the applicants come, supposing him to know -who is best qualified or entitled to the government patronage. Ifthereis favoritism any where, itis oa the part of the representative ap- pointed by the people, and responsible to them for any abuse of his office. But the statement is not correct. The sons of men in all classes of society are found at West Point. The delicate youth from the city stands shoulder to shoul#er with the hardy boy of the Western farmer, or the honest mechanic. Wealth or influence purchase no in- dulgence, but all are alike subjected to a rigid dis- cipline and course of study. Discontented politicians, who have no other hobby to ride upon, occasionally revive these ab- surd charges, and as they take well in some por- tions of the country, find them very profitable.— But the good sense of the public is inclined in fa. vor of the institution, and will be, so long as its practical operations are as beneficial to the coun- try at large as they have already exhibited them- selves.
