NEW YORK HERALD. ‘New York, Tuceday, June 29, 1847. ‘The Herald for Europe. The Herald for Europe, for the Cambria, to leave Boston on Thursday, will be ready at twelve o’clock to-morrow. ———— Meeting of the Senate. In accordance with the proclamation of the Governor, the Senate of this State will convene at twelve o’clock to-day, in Albany, in extraor- dinary session. The object of the session is to confirm certain nominations of the Governor, of judges, to fill vacancies in the supreme court, in consequence of the present judges having been elected to the bench of the court of appeals. There is every probability of the seesion being protracted and exciting, inasmuch as it is consi- dered by many, that under the new constitution, the Governor has no authority to make certain nominations. oe Important Intelligence. Another special overland express for the New York Herald, arrived yesterday with the follow- ing intelligence. The steamer James L. Day reached New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, 6n the 2Ist inst. She left Vera Cruz on the 16th inst., touching at Tampico on the 17th and Brazos St. Iago on the 18th. The most important part of the intelligence, brought by our express, is the flattering prospect of peace. Capt. Wood, of the James L. Day, states that information had been received at Vera Cruz, before the Day left, that Gens. Scott and Worth, with the main body of the army, had advanced us far as Rio Frio without opposition, and were metat that place by a deputation from the capi- tal with propositions of peace. The exact tenor of the propositions was not known. They were, however, of such a nature that General Scott refused to accept them, and was determined to push on his forces to the Capi- tal. It was thought, from the deep anxiety felt by the new government, if the term government can be applied to any party or power in Mexico, to stay the march of our forces on the Capital, that further concession would be made to General Scott, before he took up his line of march from Rio Frio. This intelligence we give precisely as it came to us. It is of the highest importance if true. The remainder of the news centres in the report communicated to the James L. Day, by Mr. Clifton, the Pilot of Tam- pico, who boarded her on the 17th inst., off that city. He states that they were in daily expecta- tion of an attack from the Mexicans, who were reported to be 1500 strong, in the vicinity of the city, on the night of the 12th inst. A demonstration was made by the Mexicans in Tampico to rise; the American authorities, how- ever, had timely information of the contemplated movement, and to suppress it,if attempted, called out the troops, who lay on their arms all night. On the 15th instant, a party of Mexican lancers attempted the outposts at Tampico, and drove the sentinels into the city. On the 16th, a party of rancheros attacked the Pilot station, and were greeted by a discharge from half a dozen mus- kets, when they retreated. The next news from the war quarter, will be looked for with considerable interest. leen, Capt. Bliffen, we are in receipt of Rio Ja- neiro papers to the 23d ult., some 14 days later than our previous accounts. The Houses of Deputies and Senate were in session, and in the message sent to them by the minister for foreign affairs, the whole account of the difficulty between the Brazi- lian Government and Mr. Wise, is detailed at length. The minister, after going over all the facts, which are already known to the public, distinctly states that the action taken on this subject by the Brazilian minister at Washington, was entirely disapproved of by the Emperor, and would not be ratified. It is not mentioned, however, whether he is to be recalled or not. The papers generally mention nothing regard- ing this affair, save in an official manner. In the address made by the House of Deputies to the Emperor, we find the following passages :— “An occurrence which took place during the pas year, with the legation of the United States, on the oc- casion of the imprisonment of certain individuals be- longing to a man of war of that nation, has been a source of much pain to the House of Deputies, who can- not consent to banish the recollection of the offences then received by them, until they are suitably repaired in a manner which will agroe with the decorum of the crown and the national dignity.” Again :— “ The House is satitfied that the government of your majesty will be charact-rised by a frank and energetic policy, so that it may remain at peace with all aattons, without any sacrifice, however, of the national honor and dignity. Your governments may count upon the hearty co-operation of the nation.” Again :— “The occurrence which took place during the past year with the United States legation, regarding the im- prisonment of certain sailors belonging to the men of war of that nation, is very painful to the House of De- puties, but this pain is much alleviated by the certaint that your majesty will insist on a due reparation for all these offences.” We see nothing mentioned about the Sarah and Esther whale ship. All this looks rather warlike, but we are per- suaded the Brazilians are acting under some sin- gular delusion.

The President of the United States and suite, took their departure from the city, yesterday morning, at six o'clock, in the steamboat Hero, for New Haven. The procession left the Astor House in the following order:— Band of music, Six military pioneers, with large axes and buckskin aprons. Jefferson Guards, in full uniform. Tho President and Vice President of the United States, Mayor Brady, ko., &c., in an open barouche, drawn by four white horses.

It started about half past five o’cloek, and proceeded round the Park to Beekman street, down Beekman to Pearl, through Pearl to Peck Slipand thence to the boat. ‘Throughout the route the windows and balconies of the houses were oceupied by ladies and gentlemen anx- ious to take a farewell glance at his Excellency. Work- men and mechanics, on their way to thelr daily toil, were observed running through all the cross streets for the same purpose. Mr. Polk looked much better than he did on Saturday or Sunday, and was no doubt complete- ly recovered from fatigue by the time he reached the City of Elms in reaching the steamboat, we found s large crowd adsembled on the piers and shipping, and many persons in the rigging, all of whom were gratified with a sight of the President, and received from him an acknowledg- ment of thé enthusiasm they manifested. As soon as the procession halted, we observed Justice Matsell engaged in clearing a pi on the pier to the steamboat, As soon as he succeeded, which he didin a pied it until his Exceliency embarked. ‘The bell of the boat was rung—Ding-dong, ding, dong, “Three cheers for the Pr They were given, and the: band struck up “Hall, Co- lumbia!” The military elevated their caps on their dong dong, ding-ding-dong-o-n-g.

The President appeared delighted with the evidences the banks of our river afforded of the extent and enter. prize of the Empire city. Innumerable vessels of the larger class appeared in course of construction in our ship yards. Spectators were crowded on every wharf, and not a few of the gentler sox even at that early hour. Some six or seven hundred children from the nurseries formed aline on the shore of Blackwell's Island, and gave three cheers as the Hero glided by. The appe: ance of these interesting children with their little ban- ners, appeared to make a deep impression upon the Pre- sident, and indeed upon every one on : After passing Thro,’s Neck, and viewing the mass and magnificent fortifications now nearly completed, the President retired to the Captain’s room, adjoining the pilot house, where be continued closeted with Sec- retary Buchanan in attention to public affairs. When the“ Hero ” approached Haven at 12 o'clock, flags were seen hoisted from all the public buildings, and an immense eoncourse of the most respectable citizens were gathered on the wharf. ‘The splendid military companies of New Haven were out on the occasion—and the Greys, the National Blues, and the Governor's Guards, vied with each other in ele- ance of equipment and military discipline. After a few introductions on board the boat, the President, in charge of the Committee of Arrangements, took his svat in the carriage prepared Abundant carriages were also ready for the invited guests, in which Secre Buchanan, Attorney-General Clifford, Captain Stein, U. S. Army, Commodore Stewart. "Messrs. Apple: ton and Burke, of the President's suite, Alder- men Purser and Koblor, of New York, took seats. Every house was enlivened ‘by fair faces—and the street thronged by persons, many of whom had come miles to be present. At the State House the Mayor received the President, and the citizens were introduced. The crowd was as excessive as the heat, and the absence of adequate regu- lations exposed the President to some inconvenience; but good humor and enthusiasm prevailed. Soon afterwards the Presidentand invited guests, escorted by the milita- ry, proceeded to Yale College, and after a handsome col- lation, took the cars for Springfield, where they rest for the night. Theatrical. Bowrny Tuxatne,—We desire to refer our readers to tho bill which is put forth this evening at the Bowery theatre for the benefit of Mr. Neafie, which will be found in ou colums, undor the head of amusements. It is without exception, the best bill, and comprises the great- ast amount of talent that has appeared in this or any other theatre in this city for along time past. Mr. Nea- fle, as our readers are aware, has for'some time past oc- cupied an honorable position in this theatre, and has beoome a grent favorite with the public. He is how about to leave it, and we ask of his friends, those who hayes been ‘so often amused and delighted with bis and classic acting to testify their estimate & substantial manner, ‘His professional all quarters have volunteered their s common with his non-professional ined to exert themselves for the purpose ampet.

There is no performance this evoning at the Park theatre, but to-morrow night the Italian company will produc: the first time, the cele- brated opera of Bellini, “La 7 Vit Telli, and Signora Carantl, (her first appearance) wiul ful- fil the principal characters. New Orena House.—We have recently been inform- ed that Sig. Villarino, the manager of the Italian Opera troupe now performing at the Park Theatre in this city, contemplates, with Mr. Lafarge, erecting a large opera house in the upper part of the city; and that, if hecan succeed in arranging matters to his liking, he will agree to provide our citizens with operatic and ballet enter- tainments, on a scale of grandeur inferior to none in the world. The preliminaries, we believe, have already been entered into between him and Mr. Lafarge, the enter- prising capitalist, an@ we hope that nothing will occur to mar or interfere with them. Sig. Villarino has not acted in the matter without weighing and consider- ing every possible contingency; snd the conclu- sion he has arrived at, is that there is am- ie room for an establishment of the kind t fe contemplates. to engage in. His views are,, that an establishment that will produce operatic and ballet entertainments, by the first talent in the world, alter- nately, will succeed in New York, and he is willing to risk a fortumein making the experiment. He proposes to have in his employ the whole of his present company, seventy-three in number, and to engage, in addition, a ballet company of fifty-two members of the first order of talent, which will be selected in Europe by himself, — This would, of course, be an undertaking of the greatest magnitude, one involving the expenditure of an immense amount of money. Yet we are inform- ed that from what he has seon of New York, and from the opinion he has formed of the musical taste of our citizens, willing to imour it. Another part of his project, is £0 have four prices of admission, in order to accommodate all classes of society. Thus he pro- poses to charge the wealthy two dollars each for admit- tance,the less wealthy one dollar, the less wealthy again, fifty cents.and again the less wealthy,twenty-five cents — the sccommodation in each case to yportionate to the price of admission, ‘This is a new feature in th ricals in this country; and it remains to be seen whe! it will succeed, But there is no question that an estab- lishment conducted on the general principles of the plan proposed, would be met with favor, The fot is that the time has e by when we could be satisi with the starrin, tem. We have wealth, intelligence, ring 6 taste and discrimination sufficient among us to support and patronise the best talent in the world, and there is no reason why the United States should not have its choice, as well as England, or any other country. We hope that nothing will occur to mar this Project, which, if carried out, as we trust it will, will form » new era in American theatricals Vauxnatt Garven.—Campbell’s Ethiopian Serena- ders are drawing large audiences to their solos, chorusses, and dancing. The exhibition room is neatly arraaged with seats, and is well ventilated. We would suggest the removal of the prosvenium from the rear to its right place, and it would greatly enhance the neatness of the stage. This band of minstrels are well patronized, and are encored in many of their songe and chorusses.— ‘There is much vocal taste and execution displayed by them, and they are beooming general favorites. Mr, Lover was announced at Buffalo for this, and last evenings. New Musica, Wonx.—We have just received the first number of anew musical monthly, published by Atwill, 201 Broad: It is called the ‘ Beauties of the Opera,” and its design is to embrace all the beautiful and popular songs, duos, ett., from the latest operas and works of the celebrated writers of Europe, and to offer a medium of the publication of the choice original com- positions of the most eminent composers of the country; it 1s also intended to devote a portion of it to musical li- terary matter, critical notices of operas, concerts and songs, with lists of new musical publications. This may be a valuable feature of the work. The contents of the firat number are of the most choice seleotions, viz—" The Hermit’s Prophecy,” “ Quana je quittai la normandie,” composed by Meyerbeer. ‘This beautiful morceau, from Robert le Diable, wae sung by Jenny Lind on her first appearance in London, and established her as the first singer in Europe. 1am of dreaming of Thee,” composed by Alexander Lee; * When the joys of Youth, Feco il peguo Aria,” by Donizetti; * Gems Verdi’ sopera of Hernani,” artanged by Le Carpensel, It in got out in a most beautiful style; the present num- ber contains an exquisite likeness of the Swedish Night- ingale, Jenny Lind. As each number will be embel- Mabed with portraits of artists or appropriate designs, when completed will form a most besutiful volume of new music. As the work will contain no reprint of American publications, its cheapness will also be a great recommendation to the public, for it can be obtained for less than half the price charged for the same quantity at theatores. The Italian Opera Troupe. Surviete materiom vestris,qui seribitis, quam Firi- bus. If the fault-finding gentry who write the musical arti- cles for some of the newspapers, only understood the force of the quotation from Horace, their conduct at least would assume the guise of wisdom—they would write nomore, For they are evidently unable to write down the opera company at the Park, or to convince the public, that they (these critios) possess a particle of the spirit of a true appreciation. Some two months since this company, en route to Bos. ton, gave three entertainments here, inoluding one co: cert. The papers, without exception, that I know of, were then loud in praise of this troupe, in the aggregate and in detail. The performance of Hernani was pro- nounced superb ; the regret was expressed, that the attendance upon the concert was so small, as Tedesco sang & song of Rossini’s, as the people of New York had never before heard it sung. And oneof these papers subsequently published an article, which after lampoon- ing the Palmo troupe with unjustifiable severity, hailed the advent of its rival, as likely to give the natives some idea of the divine art,’ | wish that I had the New York papers of the 16th and 17th of April last, that { might quote some of the fine things said of this troupe, and es- pecially of Tedesco, by these very critics, who now snub the opera, or “ damn it with faint praise,” or pass it by, in all the dignity of silence. I heard “ Hernani’ sung at the Park, before and sinee the Boston trip. I went the first time, indused to go, by the praises of these gentlemen, which, however ex- travagant they appeared in print. were yet verified by the reality. [ went the second time of my own volition, and found the second representation equal to the first. Not so with these aforesaid cities! And the objects of this communication are to ascertain, if possible, of you, Mr. Editor, the reasons for this critical somerset. Men do not usually act #0, without motive, And also, what the “prima donna,” the charmiug Tedesco, could have done in two short mass to forfeit the good opinion of these critios, She was}perfection in April, but now we are told. “ that she needs a teacher to lead her to per- fection,” and to prevent her from destroying her voice; that the vibrations of her voice are produced by the glands of her throat. Where is this teacher to be found who can lead the signorina to perfection? Name him, Fentiomen. My own impression is, that you cannot find im in the city of New York. And where are those vi- bratory glands which perform such remarkable func- tions? ‘and what are their names? Surely those so flip- pant in the musical vocabulary, are equally well versed in all the technicalities of physiology and comparative anatomy. More recently we are told, that with the exception of Vita, Perelli, Rainieri and Perozai, “there is but little of the pure artiste in the vocal department;” that Bellini had so exquisite a perception of the beautiful, that he “wrote for artists, giving them ample opportunity for displaying their skill in coloring.’ What arrant non- sense! The music of Bellini, in an eminent degree, is the truthful expression in song of the passions of ti soul, its hopes and fears; and to affirm that his mu: needs any “coloring,” is a libel upon the memory of that great composer. In truth, Tedesco sang the part of Norma beautfully, with expression and with exquisite skill. She sang it, also, just as it had been set for her, and it would have been preposterous in her to sacrifice truth to “co- lor,” even if by 80 doing she had propitiated the gentle- men upon the “ free list.”” Tedesco should derive consolation, however, from the thought, that she suffers in good company. Poor Verdi, is no favorite, either, with these “learned Thebans!” His melodies, that at the present time, in England and on the continent, have found access to every heart, have too much “ color’ for them. His music never “comes betwixt the wind and their nobility,” without receiving the honor of a broadside. tome, Mr. Editor, that these musical gen- ve mistaken their vocation; they can never im- pair the popularity of the Italian opera, as sung at the Park. People who go to hear music, and are willing to pay for it, are not to be influenced by criticisms, (if such trash deserves the name) which deal only in unmeaning generalities. Music, like eloquence, is of the first im- Pression, we foel it instantly or not ut all. That the peo- ple of New York feol the music of this troupe, as they never felt any beforo, is proved by crowded houses, in the month of June. And these same people will never tole- rate the idea, that any man, or set of men, by preeoncert —from personal pique or otherwise—shall depreciate the well-earned reputation of the most accomplished and ar- tistic—yes, that’s the word—artistic soprano that has ever yet warbled her notes in the city of New York.

The church was well filled at an early hour, by the young men of tho societios, and their friends. We have always remarked that at com- mencement times yo men at college have lots of sis- ters and fair cousins. The galleries were last evening filled with these sat tair relatives, who looked down knowingly upon the gowned and rosetted collegians. ‘There was a good band in attendance, which played se- veral aira with great good taste. The subject of Mr. Dayton’s oration was the spirit and progress of free enquiry. He alluded to the talse notions that prevailed to some extent in reference to the subject of free thinking—recommended a manful en- counter with all doctrines; the time had come, he said, when they (the members of the societies) must pple with the theories and doctrines that are advanced on every side—he recommended free thinking in every thing—in religion, as well as every thing else. Speaking of sceptics who term themselves free thinkers, he said: “Free thinkers? Sirs, they do not think at all;” and again, “ He who holds the doctrine that the learning of the age is against the Christianity of the age, holds, in my opinion, a false doctrine.” One trath, he held, never yet destroyed another. The influence of learning argued, was to make men better. The learned in every land, either heathen or Christian, have been better men than the ignorant. As many of the young men were pursuing their studies with the intention of enterin; upon the Christian ministry, the orator addresse them upon the subject of pulpit eloquence. He com- lained of the set style which most preachers use. There is yet another reformation tocome, sald, he, aud that is, in respect to style. He next endeavored to enforce wpon the minds of the students the necer*'!:, of voncentrating their minds upon some uier part of the great field of learning, 84 of curing with all their might in order to attain to excellence in some one department. He would have them familiar with all the subjects of interest, but the strength of their mind should be concentrated upon ome one point; they might generalize, on all subjects save one, and towards that ag Age point their at- tention as the gun is pointed the target. Think! said he, think! the man of great thought is worth a thousand men of great learning. ‘The oration was a good practical discourse, just such an one asthe young men probably might derive reat advantage from studying. But we could not but think that their attention was devoted more to certain beau- tiful ideas that presented themselves on all sides, than to the wholesome doctrines of their orator. ‘A poem was to have been delivered by F. Randolph Hurlbut, but for some unexplained reason Mr. H. didnot appear, and those who came to hear the poem went away, feeling very much as if they had been attending the per- formance of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet omitted. The commencement of the University takes place on Wednesday night. Ture Weatnen.—The thermometer yesterday aa up to 96 degrees at Pike Slip, and at other parts of this city.

Drimonico’s New Horev.—That a business which is worthy of attention at all is worth close attention, isa saying as trite as itis true, and Mosars. P. A. and L. Delmonico seem to learned the lesson contained in that maxim. They have been long and favorabl; known in our city—first as the rietors of the café in Beaver street, and more recently as the attentive hosts of the hotel on the European plan at No. 25 Broad- way. The popularity of the latter establishment has been such as to warrant them in extending their accom- imodations, and the brothers D, have now added to their hotel the’ new building No. 23 Broadway, which has been fitted up in a superior style, under thelr direction. ‘The accommodations for families in this establishment, ure all that could be expected or desired— the comforta at the markets will allow, anda residence at Delmonico’s cannot fail to be a thing highly desirable to any whose good fortune enables them to obtain rooms there.

The truck to which the broken wheel Belonged became detached, and the next car ran upon it.

The cars ran about ur rods after the accident happened, until they were again in condition to proceed on their way.

Alder- man Crotvs opposed the adoption of the resolution, on the ground that for the nt it was impossible to say what rooms would required fit the severr] eourts as 0} ized under the new constitution, and until that point had been satisfactorily # ttled, he hoped that no action would he taken likely to inte: with the plans of the Committee on Public Buildings.

The next object was to do away as far as possi- ble with the party spirit, which has for so many years been an obstacle to the beneficial effects which might otherwise have been experienced by the pationts them- solves, and lastly,that we may throw open the doors of these institutions, as far as consistent, to medical skill, and thereby lay the foundation for a great medical school, which shall redound to the honor of the Empire city, and that the more he had re- flected on the subject, the more he had examined into the merits of the’ pro} plan, the more he be- came satisfied that it was utterly impossible under the present regulations of the medical department to do jus- tice to the inmates, numbering, acoording to the report no Iess than 1490, who throw themselves upon us for the purpose of deriving such benefits as these institutions afford; that the inmates are principally foreigners, who are invited to our land to make our Soa, their country and our home their home, and when the; overtaken by sickness and disease, we are bound to ox- tend to them the best medical aid and advice that our city affords, and that for one, he should, to the utmost of his feeble efforts, thorough! measures recommended in this report.

This company have had the road in their posses- ry are | urge the adoption of the | sion for about five months, during which period they have increased the number of freight cars from 48 to 96 —each sufficient to carry two tons burden—and passage cars from three tofour. They have contracted for two new engines, to be furnished by the Ist of August, and 25 double freight cars—equal to 50 of the order size. Up to the Ist inst. the company had received in cash, $36,527 74, which, with the State liabilities on hand> will enable them to meet the payment due the State on the 23d inst.
