a — ve Te NEW YORK HERALD. } ————— New York, Wednesday, February 3, 1827. Mails for Europe. The packet ships Oxlord, Yeaton, for Liverpool; St. Nicholas, Eveleigh, for Havre; Switzerland, Knight, for Havre; and Saracen, Hawkins, for Glasgow, will sail this morning, it the wind per- mits, and we hope it will permit, because these of Europe. These fine packet ships will carry three days’ later intelligence from America to Europe, and it will be of considerable importance to the mer- chants and masses on the other side of the Atlan- tic. In consideration of this fact, we have sup- plied ourselves with the Herald for Europe printed | for the last steamer, which, with the New York | Herald ot Monday, Tuesday, and _particu- larly of to-day, will make excellent news remit- tances. Single copies, in wrappers, can be obtained at the office. Mojor General Taylor and the Administ tlon—Military Correspondence. {t was announced yesterday by telegraph that | Mr. Thompson’s resolution has prevailed in the | House of Representatives, and, of course, all the correspondence that has taken place between the War Department and Gen. Taylor from the time he took his position at Fort Brown, epposite Ma- tamoras, until the storming and taking of Monte- rey, will be produced and published to the world, | excepting that which may be detrimental to the | public interest. The object of this resolution is probably to clear the government of the imputations thrown upon it by the whig pres sand whig politicians through- out the country; and as it was introduced by a member of the democratic scheol of politics, it is reasonable enough to suppose that he either felt sure, before hand, that nothing will appear that can at all militate against the ad- | ei ministration or ttrengthen the suspicions of General Taylor’s friends, as |to its designs | in regard to that oflicer, or that the member who introduced the resolutioa is one of the purest | patriots of the age, and has called for the | correspondence merely to place matters in a | clear light before the public, without any refer- ence to the whigs or democrats—the years 1848 or 1852. This correspondence will, without doubt, | cause n great sensation wherever it is read, not | only among General Taylor’s friends and the | friends of the administration, but also among those of General Gaines, General Jessup, Gene- ral Scott, and, perhaps, other military men.

Masical. Itattan Orena—This evening a new opera and « composer, by means of it, are to be introduced to our citi- zens. The opera is “ Nina, Pazza per Amour ;” the com, poser Coppoli name which is little known in this country, though it will be introduced under as favorable auspices as could bedesired. The plot and style of the epera is one which will, we think, render it # favorite. Its groundwork is slight, but pleasing and fanciful ; how. ever, we can say more of it, when heard in its full parts. Beneventano will be the Count Rodolph, Signora Pico the Nina, and Benedetti the (a lover of f Biece. Sanquirice has the second act an aria com) compeny, Signor Bi thi ofasatrue gem. We expect Pico’s fri in full strength, and present such another crowd of bril- liant beauty as was gathered on Monday evening last. Mn. Hevay C. Tuam’s grand concert will take place at the Apollo Saloonon Saturday eveningnext He will be assisted by Mrs. E. Loder, Mra. H. Timm, Messrs. P. | Mayer, Weizel, and Selle; likewise Messrs. Kyle, Stark, Boucher, and Woebning, who will perform strumental solos. Mr. G. Loder will cendu and. no doubt, from his splendid orchestra, toge- ther with the galaxy ef talent above named, the “Apollo Saloon will be crowded by the feshionable and musical people of this city. Acuamnaa—Chrysty’s excellent band of Ethiopian Minstrels commence a series of concerts at the above saloon, on Thursday evening next. If we judge from the success he met with during his last visit to this city, at Palmo’s, as also from that of “his tour through the Seuth. no doubt his covcerts now will be attended wtth like success, the Alhambra will be crowded with the admirers of musical and vocal harmony. Theatricals, Pax Tneatre.—The Italian ballet made their second appearance toa New York audience last evening, and drew forth the most unlimited approbation and applause. They consist of three artists, Signor Morra, Signore Ciocca and Signorina Mantin. The first is an extraor- dinary dancer, and performs feats in the pirouette which ere truly astor and spins on ep, while kis magnificent leaps or bounds on xceed any thing of the kind we havo seen in many years.

Miss Mary Taylor, Cinderel'a, delighted the entire house by her admirable performance of this Pomnlar character. Her singing was well supported by a full and efficient chorus. Mr. Hunt’s Prince, and Miss Julia Drake’s Queen were also well sustained. Vache, Chapman, Stevens, Hadaway, Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Sergeant, together with the remainio membersof the talented stock company, performed wit excellent effect ; and the whole was got out in a manner hly creditable tothe management of Mr. Jackson.— 6 new and superb scenery, by Mr. G.
