The report of his precocity spread over Genoa, and he was invited every where, even to the soirées of the nobility. He soon became a special feature at the greatest parties, and morning and evening concerts were givento bring him out. He was frequently invited to the regal palace, and on such eccasions he was loaded and the troops under Canales, who is reported to have taken up his position before Monterey. If this be so, it will verify a prediction which we ventured several weeks ago, that the Mexicans would oppose the entrance of our troops into Monterey, and afterwards, if beaten, as they pro- bably will be, would fall back on the town.

Ho heard Sivori play, and at once advised his father to have him instructed.— ‘The father was doubtful as to the propriety of allowing the boy to adopt music as a profession; but Paganini took the child under his own tuition, and such was the pro- gress of the pupil, that in two months he played in pub- lic.a concerto, written expressly for him by his great master, together with six short sonatas. All these pieces, written out in Paganini’s own hand, the artist still pre- serves. Tho great Maestro took astonishing pains with thefboy, although in {every other instance he refused to receive a pupil, notwithstanding the immense offers made to induce him to doso. He was in the habit of treating his pupil with great severity, during his practice, al- though he was always affectionate to him when the les- son wasover. At the end of six months, Paganini de- parted for Germany ; and such was his attachment for young Sivori, that he requested his father to suifer him to take him with hin en his tour, for the purpose of con- tinuing his instruction. This the father would not as- sent to, and at the instance of Paganini, the boy was placed under Costa, who had instructed the great artist a conclusion. 4n addition to the land operations,we understand that orders have been issued to take Tampico.

Amidst a maze of variations, a redundancy of ornament, you still discover the silver thread of the “ sujet”—that always struck upon the ear with exquisite distinctness. (From the London Morning Post] The appearance of Sivori, as the interpreter of Bee- thoven, sets at rest the question, if ever it has been o: as to his capability ot executing every school of music. He produced the most luscious tone; and the most of bis applauders was Spohr, who watched every movement of the young Genoese with the most intense interest aod evident admiration. Io his own co! vori’s scintillations were quite exciting. In hi the coruscations were most startling. Surprii ed surprise—marvel after marvel came, and yet another and another—it was, start eyes and Sivori was, no doubt, urged to extra exertion by the presence of Spohr. The contrast between these two great violinists, each distinguished by the finest attribut as very Spohr is ot colossal stature, and looks more like cient Roman than a Brunswicker ; Sivori is the antithe- sis of Spohr in stature. Spohr hasthe severe phlegma- pect ; Sivori has the flashing Ttelian ‘eye and variability of feature. Spohr stands firm and still ; Sivori’s body is all on the swing—he tears the notes, as it were, from his instrument. Spohr’s refinement and polish have been the characteristics of his playing ; in Sivori it is the wild energy—tue soul in arms—the deter- minationtobe up and dving—the daring impulse of youthful genius. Spohr’s playing is remarkable for its repose and fini Sivori electrifies by the most power- ful appeals to the affections. We might go on ad infini- tum.

Not believing ia it, we are content with asserting, what we feel convinced no man willdeny, thatthe mantle of the immortal teacher has descended onthe shou.ders ef the pupil. Unlike the dead master, the liviug pop is rather petit, and positively graceful; with pleasing fea- tares, intellecual expression, and fine, dark, speaking eyes.

Important From SoutH AmeRica+-Raisina oF THE Buockane at Montevipgo.—By the arrival of he brig Silas Marine, Capt. Long, we have re- ceived files of O Mercantil, and of the Jornal do Comercio to the 14th ult. We find nothing of in- terest as respects affairs in Brazi!; but the arrival of the American brig Eagle, at Rio, from Monte- video and Buenos Ayres, brought later intelh- gence from the blockading squadrons, and the Argentine republic. Although no positive intelligence had been re- ceived to thatetfect, yet various circumstances render it almost certain that the combined Eng- tish and French squadrons had withdrawn their forces from Buenos Ayres. Mr. Hood’s mission seems to have been conducted with much diplo- maiic acumen and liberality, which, if previously adopted by the foreign ministers, would have saved much property, and rendered less preva- lent the indignant feeling now prevailing i the combined powers. "wr. Hood had ot stated that the English minister had gone beyond his duty in the conduct pursued by him; and in matter of fact, concessions were made by Mr. Hood to Kosas, which, on the part of the fatter, were favorably received, General Mansilla had received orders to place no obstacles in the way of vessels passing on the Parana ; and the general opinion prevailed that the long and vexatious war was ended. The English and French governments were evidently tired of a conflict in which they gained nothing, and created an universal odiun against them- selves throughout the South American republics. General Rivera still remained at Las Vaccas. The governor of Montevideo had sent proposi- tions to Oribe for the exchange of prisoners, but the latter, owing to the manner, or titles with adeivesséd, refused ail offers. which he was : The Rio Janeiro papers, without exception, severely condemn the interfering course of the European powers; and evince a spirit but little in accordance with the interests of the Anglo- Franco governments, while at the same time they commend the independent course pursued by the American ministers. American Temrerance Asroap.—Gen. Flour- noy, the great temperance leader of the South, arrived in the Great Western on Wednesday, from his mission to Europe. While in Ireland the fol- lowing correspondence took place between him and Father Mathew :— Dusty, Ireland, 5th Sept, 1846, Mn. Evrron—I have the honor to send you a corres- ndence which I lately had with Father Mathew. It vs be matter of some interest with the _ body of your readers; it will probably be so with teetotalers every where. Respectfully, yours, ko. THOMAS C. FLOURNOY. Conx, 27th August, 1846. My Dean Str —Having lat been a member of the World’s Temperance Convention, at London, I have now come to Cork, as the President of the Kentucky State ‘Temperance Society, to invite you to visit us, across the Atlantic. This latter object I deem of paramount im- portance. Under your own personal auspices, I doubt not, the cause of temperance may be made to triumph far more signally than it has ever yet done in America. I can assure you that our own great advocate of tempe- rance, Edward C. Delevan, Esq., (himself a host,) and all America besides, will greet your arrival most cordially. Will you now have the kindness to say whether you will make us the proposed visit? and if so, at what time we may have the pleasure to expect you?

Mr. Vinton called up the proposition offered by him at the last Convention, making “‘commu- nicants” alone eligible to sit as lay delegates in the Con- vention. The subject was, on motion, referred to the next Con- | vention. ‘The Hon.

At the opening of the evening session, the Hon. Judge Duer enquired if the motion made by Mr. James Munroe for an indefinite postponement of the whvle subject had been carried ;whereupon a debate ensued, in which White, Judge Duer, and others participated It then moved and carried, that the vote be tsken by orders, which was accordingly done with the following result— Ayes—Clerical 46 ; Lay 61.
