Cami.to Sivoni.—This great artist, who is now on his way to this country, is the only pupil of Paganini, and is | said to be the most worthy successor to that great violin- ist. Sivori is a native of Genoa, his father being a wealthy merchant of that city. It is said that he betrayed even in his infancy an extraordinary passion for the in- strument on which he excels, and that he could, at four years of age, play a great many airs. At six years of ge, Paganini, having heard him play, advised his father to have the child instructed, and, the father consenting, | the great violinist took him under his own tuition. He was afterwards under the tuition of Costa, who had in- structed Paganini, and of Dellepiane, the intimate friend | of the latter. At ten years of age he gave concerts in all the principal cities of Europe, but he did not, like too | many of those unfortunates who are known as precocious chiidren, content himself with w he Irad learned, and | with the fame he had acouired, but fed pa of concerts, he would return to study, and remain buried for nine months together from the gaze of the world, per- fecting his powers, and preparing to give the world proof of the excellence of his teaching. Shortly beture Pagan- ini’s death, Sivori induced his father to offer the great Maestro any price for one of his violins. Paganini’s re- ply was: “I will not sell_ you the violin, but will pre. sent it to you in compliment to your high talents.” Sivori travelled to Nice to receive the violin from the hands of his it preceptor. Paganini having heard the young man play, complimented him on his proficiency. and advised him to go to Paris. This adviee he followed after first visiting the Russian and German cities. At ris the most flattering marks of attention were paid him. The press was loud and enthusiastic in his praire, and the respect paid to his genius was scarcely inferior to that paid to Paginini himself in his lifetime. He visited London, Dublin, Cork, Liverpool, and other cities of Great Britain and Ireland, and was everywhere received with unbounded enthusias: As an instrumentalist, Sivori is said to be most extraor- dinary, and the possession of the favorite violin of Paga- | nini, gives him, no doubt, great advantage in this respect, independent of his own ‘natural powers. But the soul and sentiment that he infuses into his music is the great- est characteristic of his wonderful genius.

Since then, in conversation with several of the most distinguish- ed musical professors in this city, we find that there is but one opinion of their merits. They expressed them- selves amazed and slighted with the proficiency of these youths, who, from their age, could hardly have been expected to have conquered the rudiments of their pro- fession—and, indeed, their performances on the violin, viola, violoncello and piano, surpass all description, not only by their scientific uracy, but by the tuneful ‘asledy ‘with which they are inspired. A concert will be given by them to-morrow evening, at the Apollo Roo nd our citizens, our “ upper tens,” who pour out their money freely at the foot of foreign talent, have opportunity of encouraging and su na- ive in its lendable attempt.

Sr. Gronor’s Cuuncn, Brexan Strext.—Morning prayers were read by the Rev. D. A. Tyng, son of the rector. After which, the Rev. Dr. Tyng selected for his morning discourse the 16th psalm and 11th verse, “Thou will show me the path of life; in thy presence is full- ness of joy ; at thy right hand, there are pleasures for evermore.” The Rev. preacher proceeded to show the natural state and condition of man in this life, and that which is tocome. He asserted that the whole of this psalm had a reference to the death and resurrection of our Saviour Jesus Christ. They who take this path which our Saviour trod, and which he has laid open to all his followers; they who obediently, under every aspect, lives conformable to his image, have God’s and solemn asstirance of their redemption and entrance into hiseternal and glorious kingdom. St. Peter asserted this when he says, “Thou will not leave my soul in hell, neither will thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.” He urged his hearers, especially every pilgrim, to choose the right path to make his peace with and submission to God, for every other leads to ruin. The man who forsakes‘this path, and has not chosen God for his portion, will call in vain when the light from the very summit of (iod’s throne shall break in upon him, and he shall tee! and know his Jost and ruined con- iti The Rey. preacher proceeded to show further, that the presence of (od is everywhere—that there is no corner to which we can go to escape. God is present in the converted soul ; is with him who bas a broken and contrite heart. Then in these samples the Holy Ghost ever delighted to dwell; rejoice in the Lord was always, the language of the Apostle. David, Isaiah, and St Joho, bear record of the joy of the redeemed. ‘the Rev. gen- tleman, in the remainder of his discourse, mek of the wretchedness of those who for gold, or exalted or for the gratification of any of these unlawful desires, reject the proflered mercy and grace ofthe gospel, and compared them to the foolish mariner who, in the hour of shipwreck, lashed himself to the anchor, vainly hoping to escape his a) yg ad doom — After the sermon, the Rector proceeded to administer the Holy Communion, assisted by his son, which was received by a very large number of the congregation. The Rector informed the audience that the ve: of | St. George's, with a view to accommodate the members | of the congregation, who reside ia the upper part of t city, and ior the purpose of forming a congregation fore the completion of theirnew edifice on Stuyvesant Square, have made provision for evening, service ever | Sunday evening, in the Presbyterian Church, in 8 | street, at the head of Lafayette Pi and divine ser- vice, and a sermon my, the itor, . Dr. Tyng, may be expecta every Sunday evening during the remain- der of the year. Ms Granp Street Cuurcn.—After the customary sus- pension, public worship was resumed fin this sanctuary, and the Rev. Dr. McElroy delivered with his usual an | popular style of address, an interesting discourse, takin; jor his subject the 8th Psalm—‘ O Lord God, how excel- | lent is thy name in all the earth,”&c.,g&c This | psalm is a composure of the meditations of David whilst contemplating the beauty and magnificence of the visible heavens; and brutalized, ind the mind of that man be, whose thoughts and feelings are not ele- vated and solemnized by the serenity, loveliness, and grandeur ofa night scene ; for that such was the g! spectacle beheld by the psalmist, is evident, from the jird verse no allusion is made | to the sun, but solely to the movn and stars, which only serve in the absence of the solarorb. After a few pre- liminary remarks, the preacher, by way of ition observed, that the contemplationsof the psalmist were prophetic of the glory of the gospel dispensation, the op- position which would made to its introduction and progress in this world, and the feebleness of the instru- mentality by which the triumphant advancement of chris- tianity would be effected. For an army of ‘babes and sucklings” to be marshalled against a body of well disci plined veterans, snd overthrow and put them to rout, ‘as, indeed, a mirucle not to be accounted for on natural rational principles ; yet go it was, that Chi prevailed over the most powerful and subtl by the weak instrumentality of those illiterate men whom God had appointed to turther i's propagation. The word “ man” used in Scripture in reieren 0 his state of innocence and apostacy, in which latter sense it nishment was | .wagemployed by the psalmist, whose a elicited by coutemplatiog the’ condescen his mercifnl visitation towards hi in the humuliation and redemption of Chris the preacher presented his views respecting the meaning | of the 4, 5, ana 6 verses—that the phrase, ‘a little low thin the angels,” referred to the period of Chri humiliation, and not to any degr of dignity in com- aring man, with a higher order of created intelligence. The great ditficulty connected wiih the passage, was the suddenness of the transition, which, however, could be satisfactorily explained upon the consideration that the psalmist appears not in the charaeter of a logician, but a devout worshipper in a soliloquy —when subjects come before and go from the mind in great variety and corres ponding abruptness. The dominion over the creature ‘was considered as delegated to man, since the fall, as a part of the mediatorial work of Christ, and the opinion was offered that in the millennium, the ferocity of the ani- mal creation would be subdued, and in the contemplation of the latter day glory,” the psalmist renews his hymn of praise and adoration, ‘‘ O Lord God, how excellent is thy name inall the earth!” The preacher concluded with the following practical reflections :—That a spirit of devotion is indispensably necessary to take a just view ofthe world’s creation—that the glory ot redemptien far excels the glory of the material universe—that no man can entertain a just view of the blessings of salvation who has not a heartfelt conviction of his own sinfulness. Since it is this alone which gives the advantage to the humblest christian over the proud philosopher, who, with all his lofty and scientific attainments cannot rn in the works of nuture the surpassing glory of the work of grace—that no despair need be excited regarding the fil nd triumphant success of the gospel over all the op- pecs it is still destined to encounter, the preacher fin- hing with foreboding apprehensions that christianity would have to pass through darker clonds, and undergo a severity of opposition suck as she had not yet experi- enced. Farat Accipent.—Henry Waters, son of Talman J. Waters, fell down off an area-way, from the large club in Broadway, between Prince and Houston streets, morning, and was instantly killed.

Sunday, Sept. 6—6 P. M. It will be perceived on reference to a table of comp § rative quotations, which we give below, that quotations for nearly every stock in the list have, during the past week, been gradually but steadily declining. There ix no cause for this movement, growing out of the state of our money markets, or any unfavorable prospect in rela- tion to our commercial affairs generally, but is produced more by a combination of brokers in Wall street, than by any thing else, or in other words, the bears are in the ascendency. If the state of the money market was such as to cause a decline in stocks, the depreciation would be general, or we might say universal. Such, however, is not the case, while some of the fancies are falling off one or two per cent daily ; othersare advancing at the rate of twenty and twenty-five per cent per day. This is enough to show that it is something else than the money market that causes the decline in stocks. We do not see as there is much margin for a falling off in the principal fancies. Harlem and Norwich and Worcester certainly have no margin for depreciation ; but on the contrary, in our opi- nion, have a wide margin for an advance. In about thirty days, the Harlem road will be extended twenty-seven miles, making its entire length fifty miles The extension terminates at Somers, a large and thriving town in Putnam county, and in the centre of a rich and extensive agricultural country. Asa permanent invest- ment, the stock of this company is worth much more than it is selling for in the market, notwithstanding the miser- ablé management of the road, and the many abuses which are daily practiced in its operation. The Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company never was in a more prosperous and thriving condition than it is now. Since the new and magnificent boat of the com pany, the Atlantic, was put upon the route, tho receipts have increased a large per cent. The profits on the boats of the company alone are now one thousand dollare per night, and the transportation of through passengers on the railroad to enable the boats to nett that profit, must bo very large. This is the favorite route to Boston, and its local travel is very large, being of itself sufficient to pay the entire running expenses of the road, leaving the through travel to pay off the floating debt of the compa- ny, to provide the appropriation to the sinking fund, and to farnish funds for the payment of dividends. We have good authority for stating that a dividend of three per cent will be declared from the nett earnings of the com- pany, for the six months ending December 31, 1846, and puid on, or soon after, the 1st of January, 1847. This re sumption of the payment of semi-annual dividends will be permanent. The road will, even in the ovent of there being no increase, carn enough to pay six per cent per annum, and make ali the necessary appropriations for other payments. This being so well settled, it is a matter of much asto- nishment that the stock of the company rules at such low prices in the market. At sixty it is aten per cent stock, &t present prices nearly an eleven per cent investment, with amargin of forty-four per cent before it reaches par. ‘There has not been much done lately in Morris Canal ; prices appear to have touched bottom, and as soon as it suits the views of those interested in depressing the mar- ket, to let it up, there will be a rise as rapid as the de- cline has been. The parties diectly interested in a fur- ther decline in this stock are closely connected with its management, and are making great efforts to get prices down so low that they can get hold of a large portion of the stock, when movements will be made which have been foraiong time in contemplation, that will, if suc- cessful, place the market value of the stock many per cent above present prices. So far as we are able to judge, there appears very little doubt in our mind, but that the movements alluded to will be successful ; that the party at work depressing prices will succeed in getting pos session of alarge part of the stock—that the bondholders will lose their lien upon the canal, and that eventually there will be an advance in the stock which will place it nearly in the position it fell from. There is no danger of Morris Canal going out of sight. There is still further no doubt but that it will come up again one of these days as good as new. This hasbeen a stock of too much im- portance to the speculators of Wall street, to let go so easily as many in Wall street would have others be- lieve, and we have every faith, for the reasons above given, in its being ultimately reinstated in its former po- sition. We annex a comparative table of quotations for the principal stocks in this market, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the previous week. It will be observed that there has been throughout the week a gra- dual, but steady decline in most of thelfancies. This we attribute mere to the little disposition manifest by opera- tors to make transactions, than to any tightness in the money market, or any other real cause for a depression.
