‘Thentricai and Musical, Boweny TH@atne.—Mr, Hall’s benefit took place last evening at the Bowery theatre, The performances, on the ecossion, consisted of Bulwer's comedy of “Money,” end two other pieces, That comedy was remarkably well played throughout—the cast was admirable, and the autience were well pleased with the whole piece. — Mr Burke, as usual, kept the house in a roar, from the iDoment bis ccmical face »ppesred on the stage until it disoppeeredagan. Mr. Clark, as Evelyn, was excellent ~s0 was Mr. Bellamy, as Sir Jobn Vesey, and we can say the same of Mes. Madison and Mrs. Phillips. lo fact, all were good; butif Mr, Hall would give less license to his legs, and not keep them in perpetual m tion like a hen on @ hot gridle, as be does, he would a pear tognuch better advantage. CratHam Toeatan.—That splendid equestrian drama, “ The Bride of Abydos, or the Pirate of the Isles,” which has reoontly been produced at this establishment, was repeated there last evening, to @ very numerous au- dience; and it is certainly one of the most interesting wnd entertaining pieces that has been performed on an: stage for ® long time past. The scenery and the inci- Gents of the piece are partioularly rich, and so are fhe costumes of the guards, &o, The tableau at the @n- clusion will compare favorably with anything we have seen for some time. No more suitable piece for the holi- days could have been brought forward,and we doubt not that it will cooticue to be received with applause Sad patronage as long as the mavager keeps it on his boards, The imperfections which were visible on its first representation, are feat wearing away. Patmo’s Tuxarte —The attendance at this theatre Jost evening was rather thin, and we are really surprised | et this, considering the very attractive features of the Vaudeville and ballet companies performingthere. The Vaudeville company is certainly one of the best ‘hat could hi been selected in this city, comprising Mrs. Vernon, Mrs Abbott, Mra. Kaight, Mr. Dyott, and Mr. Chapman, with many othera who have acquired a high choracter and reputation in their professson, and w all great favorites at the Park theatre. Added to this the excellent ballot company. under the guidas f that charming, bewitching danseuse, Md’ile Augusta, who is «host in herself. A more pleasing, delightful evening’s recreation cannot be enjoyed anywhere, The entertain. Tneuts commenced with the grand ballet of “La Sonnam- buia,” in which Md’ile Auguste, in the Pas de Deux, and articularly the new graod Polish Pas de Trvis, with Mise Wells and Mons Frederick, executed her part with edo terity, grace, and elegance o} which drew forth the reiterated cheers of the audience, Next insuc- cession, was the farce of “Iaitalie?”” ‘ Chatterton,” by Droit, was represented to the very life,and “Trance,” by Chevman,was, as usaal, & Qoished specimen of comic- ability, ‘The concluding pivce wes the beautiful ballet entitled * Lea Pages du Duo de Vendome.” The panto- mimio action and dani g of Md’lle Augaste, Miss ‘Wells, and Mona Frederick, in this pieos, were remark- wbly beaut ful, and their Le Boll roe de Cadiz was given with such graceful moveweots and beautiful Geures, that the audience covti until it was repeated We hope to see the efforts of this xecomplished danseuse patronized this evening |) «full house. | Broapway Tueatne.—Tbie place of public amuse- | basiness, considering ae " pend for eu 4 We believe Mr. Hamblin. formerly of the Bowery The: tre, is proprietor of the ground on which the theatre is built ~The probability ts. he expects the theatre to fall into his bands, Mr. Hamblin was once an eminent aud Buccensfo! manager at the Bowery; but of late years, has been satber under the woather. Cimcus—Bowenry AmruitHestae.—We stepped into this }lace of amusement last night, and found quite a bumrrous and'ence. It is really a highly interesting and amu ig performance, and the great intelligence ex- hibited by tnose two fighting ponies is wonderiul. Not the least amusing part of the fighting scen ylay of tho two clowns—he of the striped suit is a dry jovrr.and the pair of them together are as sententious ‘and agile as clowns ought to be. Their betting on the merits of their ponies, was very amusing indeed After the fighting was over, a scene of gymuasticising was brought forward, and there wes something peculiarly graceful in’ the entrance of a dozen or so of fine strapping young fello who ~rnt epringing off in floe style, turning a score or £0 of somersets, with the same ease with which a cook turns cff a dozen of pancakes. This kind of perform- Spoo must require immense practice, and strength too, 1o be gone through with such apparent ease as these young f-liows do -We have already apoken of R Sands, and bis #ou’s performances, and the other things done ia the course of the evening, are all well worthy a visit.

Tanrunacur —The first concert given by the Steyer- markische Musical Company, though not attended by as frrat an audience us their talents should merit, will uevertheleos, meet with a better reception, when the: become bettur known to the lovers of music who ordin: rily patronize concerts in New York. Those nineteen perturmers, who were received with euch enthusiasm in Boston. performed last evening some beautiful pieces, which were not only remarkable for the originality of their melody, but s/o for the precise accuracy in which they were executed. The brass instruments, forming the bassi of the company, are played upon by taleoted artists, whose justness is indeed wonder- ful. We were ulro delighted by the piece called on the bills, * Curopean Blumenlese, grand pot pourri.” It consists of a selection of ge from ceiebrated operas—French, Italian, German and English—which | wore made up with admiratle taste, and proved ver elective. “William ‘Tell,’ “ Norma,’ “Fra Diavolo, “Robert je Diabie.” “Bohemian Girl,” “ Somnambula,”” avd maoy other chef d’auvrrs of great maeters, have deen eniremiter with grand art, by the. composer Morel- li, and cach of them adapted for time, rythme and m Bure to the frame of tl wi great p | listening to toe performances of the Steyermarkische | musical company, Cunisry’s Mixetrets.—The ever-varying and excel- Jent ttyl in which these minstrels givo ‘t ge nightly, continually attracts large audiences, Last night they were wellattended, and it really seems as if every one in New York had set their hearte upon going to hesr them, so continuous is the tide cf visiters that go | to Mechanics’ Hall.

M. ‘The stock market opened heavy to-day, and prices fell off a fraction. It isthe general impression in Wall street, that after the lst ef January, there will be an improvement in the money market, and in quotations sor stocks. Money is now much easier than it was a month ago, and the banks exhibit more disposition to make discouats, The offerings are very limited to what they were a few weeks since, and a large amount of the paper held by the banks has mstured. They are there- fore better able to loan, and they will be compelled to discount pretty freely for some tim», to squeexe out their ordinary dividends. At the first board, to-day, Reading Railroad fell off 34 | percent; Farmer’s Loan, '¢ ; Canton Co., %; Harlem, 3d j Minole 6's, 34; Reading Bonds, ' ; Treasury Notes 4.

The transactions at the afternoon board were only to a moderate extent, The Susquehanna Bank, of Pennsylvania, has collapsed The rotten banks xploding all around us. It would be well to retuse anything but New York bank bills, and seethat they are secured by New York State stocks. These bills are as good as gold. The trash that is sent into this city tor circulation, from New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania, and other States, should be aveided. The Paterson and Hudson River Railroad Company have declared a dividend of four per cent for the las, six months, payable at the Manhattan Fire Insurance Company on the 3d January. The organs of stock speculators are already at work, striving to get up some movement among the banks, to aunul the effects of the financial affairs in Europe upon this country, The slight lull in the panic in Europe, is taken advantage of by these parties to convey the im- pression here that the crisis is past, and that apprehen- sion is no longer necessary relat to the future. The measures they have adopted to restore confidence are calculated more than any others te destroy the very germs of returning prosperity. They may create a tem- porary revival of confidence, and a temporary relief in the money market; but such improvements cannot but be of an artificial character, as the measures taken to produce them are entirely of an artificial nature. Itis the most dangerous thing in the world, in times like these, to induce speculators to believe that there is no longer any danger; that they can expand their opera- tions with impunity; that the only thing required to bring prices back to the old level, is propor expansion on the part of the banks, and an inflation of individual credits. ‘There is no doubt but that such movements would produce the result predicted; but it would be short Itved. {t would be like @ stimulus forced upon an invalid, creating a tem- porary excitement, to be followed by a prostration en- dangering existence. A relapse is guarded against in medicine, with the greatest care, and es much solicitude is necessary in relation to relapses in finances. A revo- lution in commercial affairs cannot be allayed in a week or month, anditis only by the most cautious moasures that o revival of confidence can be established. The only sefe and sure method is to leave the evils to regu late themselves: they will im time work out their own remedy; and as ageneral thing, every movement made to auticipate their action is attended with more or less danger. Every interference of the government, apy change, however slight, mads in the financial or comm cial systems of the country, when a revulsion exists, is deoldedly injurious and objectionable. We look upon them with alarm, and conscienciously oppose every int ference of the kind, particularly when the derangements in financial and commercial affairs have been produced by speculation, overtrading, or even by the alternations | in the financial and commercial systems of the country. The greatest difficulty the commercial classes of every country labor under, is the instability of govgrnment measures, affecting in any way the financial or com- meroial movements of the country. It is these con- tinued changes, more than anything else, that cause so much diffloulty and derangement; 6o many fluctua- tions in prices, #0 many panics, so many revulsions’ andso much bankruptcy. If the governments would either let the people alone altogether, or adhere for « greater length of timo to the systems they do adopt, there would be more regularity in prices, dation for individual credits, and more permanency in all our commercial relations. It {s the alteration and modification of » system, before a fair opportuni- ty has been given for a fair trial, that creates so much mischief. Whatever difficulties follow any change in any important law, are invariably attributed to these changes, and further changes are made to do away with the reputed evils resulting from the first change; in this way # continual agitation is kept up, and no one knows what to depend upon from one year to another. When any important measure {s passed, there is no guaranty that it will continue for any length of time. All that {s neeessary to bring about a change is to get up a panic, | delegate committees to wait upon the government, threaten to compel the banks to suspend, by with: | drawing the deposits, and the objectionable part of the law is repealed or temporarily annulled Tho Teoent interferenoe of the British ministry, in rela- | tion to the Bank Act of 1844,illustrates this system, and | Proves conclusively the truth of our remarks. The in- oP) fluence brought to bear upon the government of Eng: | land, in @ crisis such as that just experienced, is such | that it cannot be resisted, and the impression in the financial and commercial circles of London is, that if there is any immediate necessity for it, any law regula. | ting trade and commerce can be immediately altered to meet the exigencies of the moment. In this country it requires longer period to bring about @ change. ‘There is more political machinery t) put in motion, more strings to pull, before any required | result can be reached. The financiers of this country | have not so much influence in our councils, and the People have, directly, more to do with the laws than in any other country on the face of the earth. Evea with | this, the most ruinous changes are from time to time | made in our systems of flaance and commorce, and legis. | Istors are continually tinkering the currency.

Mr. Bnavauny rose and addressed the Senate as fol- lows Mr. Presipext—I rise for the performance of a dut; too painful for language to describe. One who was wi usin this chamber. wt the last meeting of the Senate, nding to his official duties, assiatiog in our delibera- tione, and as confidently looking forward to the future 4s thore who are now present, bas suddenly fallen in our mivst. He is now numbered with the dead Four times | has the Senate already been called, during the tew days of its session, to manifest the Inst tol Yor the honored dead, who bave been pre rs iu the present Con- grees, Now, the destroyer bas entered these bi and struck down hit victiin before our eyes. The Hom. Jobin Fuirfield is no more. He died at bis lodgings ip this city, on Friday lust. ‘Tne eudden and »’artling anocunes. | mbt of his death preceded the int'l igence of danger. On the morning of thatuduy he was in bis usual health, and met his friends with bis accustomed cheertulness and cordiality At noon, be submitted to cioal operauion to which, with undouDuing confide: hed looked for relief from an infirmity under which be hed labored. His physica. energies were not equal to his for- Utude and coursgs. His system sank under the une bated anguish which followed; and at twooty minutes | before sight o'clock in the evening, in the fall possession Scarcely had the when of his mizd, he brestbed his last, frieuds that were with him anticipated danaei his pure spirit took ite fight From am sf appalling, it is ditfoult to divert attention, teinplate, for a moment, the life and character of the deceased Gov. Fairfield was born at Sace, in the cvunty of York, Maine, January 80,1797. In that place hebas ever resided. Distinguished by an ardent love of knowledge, an active mind, and great s'rength of pur- pose, on arriving at manhood, he devoted himself to the study ot the law, and entered @ profession which has hi establishment and de- At tne bar he soon fence of constitutions! acquired such reputation, that he received from the Executive of the State the appoiptment of Re orter of the Decisons of the Supreme Judicial Court. White in the successful performance of the duties of this office, he was called by the electors of the First Con- gressional District, without solicitation or desire on bis part, to take his place in the councils of ‘he nation asa representative in Congress. He received a re-election; and it is 1 kaown, that he vischarged the responsi- bie duties devolved upon him on trying occasions in @ | manner alike honorable to himselfand to his constituents. Hin services were now demanded in a different sphere. He was elected Governor of his native State; aud so | strong was his hold upon the confidence and regard of | the people, that be was thrice reelected to the same | exalted etation. It was during thi \ Ve life, when great end unusual | thrown up» him growing out of collisions with ® foreiga | diapinyed a decision and firmness of character whit commanded tre rerpeot, and fixed apon him the atten- tiow, of the whole c.untry He became, emphatically, the favorite of his State; ard he was now traneferre: from its executive chair to ® sest upon his floor, to fil. & vacancy created by the resignation of bis predecessor In 1545, he received a re-election to the Senate, for the term of six years. It may be remarked, as ® sin- gular fact, that in all ihe offices be hes held, be bes never served out the regolar term, but has been transferred by promotion tea higher place. To you, Mr. President, who knew bim well, and to the Senators long associated with him, and upited by the ties Ol retprot end friendship, | meed not speak ot honorable career in this body. You will bear witness to the sound jadgment aud ready real which he brought to the discharge of his varied duties--to that honesty ot purpose which knows no guile—to that frankness and sincerity \pcapable of copcealment—to that firm- ness of resolution which no diffievities could shake nor dangers overcome—and to that purity of life, and conrcientions regard to his convictions of right, whch distinguished him a¢ ® man and a cbristian. How beppily these qualities were blended in bis cha- racier,is known to yeu; how justly they were appre- ciated by the people of his ketive State, is seen be confidence they yielded, and the honors they bestowed. Asa friend, he was devoted and sincere: and few there are who have recured the attachment of a wider circle or bound them by strenger ties of affection. His loss to the public, to bis frien: nd above all, to bis deeply afilcted femily, what words can exp! | 1 cannot at- tempt it now, He bas left bebind, character, and the influence of hi sudden death, the admonition ts o ‘ public honors and exsited station add no strength to the tenure by whieb life is held.” Mr Nites then addreseed the Senate, and concluded by offering the following resolution Resolved ppointed by the fune: wh Htoke p ace to-mor- and that the Senate will at sanimons'y, ‘Thet the members of the Senate, desire of shown g every mark of reapert due to mors of the He Fairfeld, deceased, la ea mem- efor him o.@ month, by the usual mode of wearing crape on the let am ‘ enotved ously, Lhet os an additional mark of re- spect forthe menor of’ ie tious Joha Patiteld, the Senate POW ad it Or trea. ‘Ther the Secretary communicate these proceedings to the House of Heprese. tative The 8 then @ urn: {Che committee ops 4 by the Vice President, uo. ¢ the flrt vesoiation, fs composed of Mr. Niles, Mr. Verrien, Mr. Brovee, Mr, Dix, rittemden, and Mr, Greane.| 0 ber therrof, will go Into menrn
