An alliance with Russia would ef course be a revolutionary movement, and the late seenes of Naples would probably be re-enacted in Berlin.

This would lead to the republic, or at Jeast to the failing off from Germany of the whole Rhine province of Prussia, and indeed, all of Germa- the neigttborhood of the Rhine.

On Sunday morning last we published, one day in advance of every other journal in this country, a highly important despateh, which was received | in Liverpool by means of the telegraph, to the | effect that a serious émeute had taken place be- | tween the populace of Paris and the Natienal Guard, whi ing on the last accounts | from there, and was ace with laughter. This émeute has, like all other similar attacks, will be seized upon by the English pres ment to prove that the people of France pable of self. | qnietude cannot but be looked for in a republic. | There is little doubt that the several émeutes which have occurred in Paris overthrow of Louis Phili and encouraged by h agents, as well as by others of the other monarchical governments in | Europe, and by emissaries and partizans of the | fallen monarch, for the purpose of bréng | licanism into disrepute, and promoting and fayor- ing a reaction in the public mind in favor of mo- \ narchieal government. When they occur, they are imme y cited as evidence of the truth of what the n journals so frequently assert. We apprehend, however, that the people of F not to be deceived in this matter. wa p great 8 aul 1gu- inea- abortive | rance They “are ha republic as they ever were ; and the ility is, that they will suceeed to the fullest pre extent. But even allowing that these émeutes have not arisen from the causes we have mentioned, but | have grown out of causes at work among a cer- | tain portion of the Parisian population, we do not see that they place in jeopardy the stability of the | sentiment of the great be | France, in regard to republicanism, and their de- | termination to reduce it to practice, cannot be | mistaken. The idea that there will be a reaction favorable to monarchy,_is absurd, in our opinion, | | tion, that France will quietly settle dowa as a re- | public, and be the greatest nation in Europe, if not so alrea ‘There is among the popula- tion of every country on earth a certain portion who are eager to overthrow the existing order of | she | things, of whatever character it may be, for warding their own personal ce to society, whether those which is the predominant prin- the are plunder, ciple, or the gratification of an unholy and im. proper ambition, A revolution, similar to that which has recently taken place in France, affords them an excellent opportunity to carry out their views, and hence we can account for the émeutes which have taken place there. We have always expected this, and have invariably said that they might be reasonably looked for from time to time ; but that they would be put down, and, in the end, that the republic would be safely established. Such is our opinion now; and if « frightful scene of carnage has taken place in Paris, in which a thousand or five thousand of the riotous portion of the population have been shot down in the streets, s firmly determined at the present time | | asit willbe m France. The new overnment, and that turmoil and dis- | | are ready to stril republic have a single President and Vice President, as it is with us; and besides these and the National Assembly, there is to be a Council of State, or ex- ecutive committee of forty members, who are to be elected by the National Assembly. ‘This will serve to carry out the theoretical distinction that exists between the two houses of Congress in the United States. The American constitution ap- pears to have been taken as a model, and copied as fully as was consistent with the requirements of the Freneb, taking into consideration the differences between the people of each country. This émeute we have no doubt has been suecess- fully crushed by the goverament, with the aid and assistance of the military, and the next news from Paris will doubtless bring us intelligence of the fact. If such has been the case, the crisis has passed, and the republic is as safe from internal dis- cord and commotion as she is from foreign war, in consequence of the agitated state of the nations around her. The changes which she is destined to aceomplish will soonstake place, and we would not be surprised to see nota single monarchy in Europe in existence in two years from this time. Teisu Arvarms—Prosrecrs or a Rerveric.— The last accounts from Ireland do not furnish much encouragement, either tor the recovery of in- dependence or the establishment of a republic, nm this beautiful Isle of the ocean. Attempts are still made to unite the Irish people in one move- ment; but the success is slow. The O’Connell family appear to have bacxed out from every ad- ditional effort in the recovery of independence. Wien the belly is full there is no inclination to work. The O’Connells have lived for years upon barren agitation—upon moral_revolution; and now, when physical force and effort are proposed, they run away like cowards There are symptoms of practical good sense in the coming movements and eflorts of the Insh people. But some of their journals entertain strange notions of persons and parties in the Uni- ted States. Greeley is considered to be the ‘“leadg ing thinker” of the whig press in America! Now, for all practical purposes, of all kinds, the “leading thoughes ” of Master Greeley are as potent as the intellectual impulses of a full grown squash from Connecticut valley. Henry Clay will testify to this fact. For the last few years, this leading thinker has led all his adherents into difficulty, and his last leading thought has led to a most unfortunate dance for poor Henry Clay and his followers. The Irish journals also think that whenever they a blow at England, the Ameri- can republic will send outa fleet, and ships of war, and frigates, &e., to assist them in fighting for their independence, and in establishing a republic. We do not think, however, they ought to caleulate since the | ype have been fomented | ing. repub- | | selves. dy of the people of | upon such assistance, unless General Cass should be elected our next President. It is well known that General Cass is very hostile to England, and in favor of war, on any pretence, with that impudent monarchy, and that he would readily take the side of the Trish people in their eflorts for independence. But, according to our view of the matter, if the Irish do not establish a republic before they get aid from this country, they will have to wait until the day preeeding the day of judgment. They must wake up, and fight their own batiles first, them- When they have licked their English rulers in one or two fights, then some of the noisy patriots hereabouts may think of going across to share in their spoils—not befor Tur New Cone.—This new gospel among the lawyers is working wonders in certain forms and shapes. Under the old code, no suit could be brought without first paying fees of Court, which formed a sort of barrier to the commencement of suits. Since the new code has come into opera- tion, we understand the whole amount of fees paid into all the Courts in this city (with the exception of one or two), does not exceed $3 624 cents in the week, whereas, under the old code, the amount would have averaged two or three hundred dollars. This is a feature of the new codé which greatly encourages the commencement of suits, and sti- mulates the lawyers to hunt up clients wherever they can find them, to begin a suit, paying only the | private fee of the lawyer, ranging from 25c. to $25. it willbe a necessary thing for the republic, and f | will, probably, make the government more stable | than ever. ° | The new government of France never will be permanently established, until it practically proves to the satisfaction of the mob that it has the phy- sical power and ability to put them down by phy- sical foree, and does doso. It must sooner or later convince them, that, in a republic, the majort- and that they can, when necessary, preserve quiet | against the force of the mob that may be opposed | tothem. Ithas been necessary to assert and prove this great public axiom, on’many occasions, in the United States. A few yeats since we turbances and riots, fomented by interested parties, which were put down by physical force, and the same result would follow a similar state of things’ here to-morrow, if there should be occasion for it. We have had the anti-rent outrages 1 this State, the arsenal riots, the flour riots, sixth ward riots, and many others, in this city, but they were sue- cessfully put down on every oceasion by the physical force of the industrious portion of society, and the ringleaders puilished according to law. France must illustrate this axiom in the same way, before she will have internal pence and stability. If, as we and counter-revolutionists have been shot down in Panis, it will be all the better for the republic. It will make it more perme t and stronger than ever, and will probably be the best thing that has occurred since Louis Philippe’s overthrow and flight. The National Guard and the Garde Mo- bile are in favor of order. They, as well ds the rest of the well-disposed population, know that nothing can be acquired by counter-revolution which they They ® that there is nothing to fight for which they did not obtain by the revolution of Februa y all those | rights and privileges, requires only peace and the | confidence of the people | We cannot join in the a by the English press, and reiterated on this side of the Atlantic, nor in the conclusions that are so often drawn from premises that are not true. do not now possess. e av 3 and to e ipation promulgated France 1s safe we think, and that the next news from there will confirm this opinion, we are very sure. The republic was going on nicely, The proposed constitution was drawn up and submitted, a copy of which has been published, and seems to be eminently well suited to the wants of the French people. Instead of having two branches of the | legislature, as with us, there is but one, which is equally as good. The fact is, with us, the distine- tion between the§ Senate and the House of Repre- sentatives 1s merely theoretical, and means but lit Ue.

Mmuarary Marrers-—General Pillow has been acquitted, and now General, Scott is to be upon trial ina few days. What a strange fatality to poor General Scott. The second conqueror of Mexico! the rival of Cortez! He is actually tread- ing in his footsteps! He comes back to his coun- try in disgrace, and is tried for an offence before his military inferiors a3 the ancient Cortez in his day! Mr. Polk and Secretary Marcy ought to be ashamed of themselves! General Scott’s brilliant military deeds and silly political letters, place him upon a sort of neutral ground, which should have been reason enough to let him escape without any more annoyance. Mr. Marey’s letters, and the soup correspondence, were trial and punishment enough for any reasonable man, whether a Chris- tian or a soldier. The War Secretary ought to quash all these proceedings, and hereafter attend exclusively to the holes in his own breeches. wes Mrer.—Some of the papers in Geor- gia’ denounce General Cass as an abolitionist, while others in New Bngland denounce him as a man supporting slavery. This is one of the beau- ties of political controversies. General Cass can’t be both at the same time. Another funny piece of Convention, at Utiea, In pursuance with the recommendation of their general committee, the Barnburners, or radical portion of the democratic party, assembled in their respective assembly districts last evening, for the purpose of electing delegates to represent them in the convention, to be held in Utica, on the 18th of September next, with a view of nominating Pre- sidential electors, as well as candidates for Governgr, Lieutenant Governor, and other State officers. Asa general thing, we believe the meetings went off without much excitement, with the exception of one or two instances. In the Eighth ward, composing the sixth assembly district, considerable opposition was made to the Barnburners’ proceedings by a goats number of the Hunker party, who were on hand an ready for the ‘fray, The meeting having been organ- ized by calling to the chair James Tiebout, on motion of D. D. 'T, Marshall, Gerardus Boyce was no as the delegate from that district, which was declared to be carried. A committee was then ited to draft a series of resolutions expressive cf sense of the meeting. As soon as the committee had returned, there were loud cries for “Sickles,” “ Washburn,” “ Sic! 2 “ Washburn,” &¢., which lasted for some time. Mr. ‘Washburn rose and addreesed the meeting at eon- siderable length in praise of Martin’ Van Buren, and set forth in glowing terms, that contrary tothe sxuee- tation of his warmest friends, State after State was ratifying his nomination, and eulogising the wisdom of the Utica Convention for its independent and hono- rable course. At the close of his remarks the calls for Sickles were then repeated, and Mr, Sickles came forward to ad- dress the meeting im pursuance to the calls for him, and commenced to offer rome remarks, when he was requested to defer what he had to say until the report of the commitiee had beem read. The reading of the report was then proceeded with, and on the question being put to tho assemblage, Mr. Sickles sald that he wished to make a few remarks before the question was taken; the question was, however, it amidst The most dndesctibable confuslon, wad declared. to be carried. After which, the Barnburners adjourn- ed, and left the room almost wholly in posses- sion of the Hunkers, who were then addressed by D. E. Sickles. In his remarks, Mr, S. first denounced Mr, Havemeyer for permitting his name and influence to be used in getting up the meeting which had been held there; he also denounced Mr. Van Buren for the course he bad pursued, and is now pursuing, to defeat the election of the democratic nominees for President and Vice President, &¢. A series of resolutions were then read and adopted, when a free soil advocate, by the name of Bard, got up in reply to Mr. Sickles, and spoke for a short time re- lative to the prospects of an extension of slavery, &e., in case of the election of either Gen. Taylor or Gen. Cass, and expressed his opinion that the only way to defeat such course was to elect Martin Van Buren. Members elect to the Utica Convention.

Bowrny TueatRE.—Miss Taylor's benefit last even- ing was a tremendaus affair ; the house was crowded from pit to gallery ; and the splendid spectacle of the “ Naiad Queen,” with the charming beneficiaryin the principal character, went off with very great applause. J, H, Hall, as the bold Baron of the Rhine, and Burke, his comical Squire, who meets with such 8 series of ad- ventures among the Naiads, and the rest of the characters, were well represented. The songs of Miss ‘Taylor, in the course of the spectacle, were really beau- tiful, Tho scenery, decorations, &. were all new and splendid, and gave great satisfaction. The drama of the “ Wizard of the Wave’? concluded the perform- ances, and went off as handsomely as ever. The crowded and enthusiastic audience of last evening will no doubt be replaced by an ha omni crowded one to-night, as the same attractive pieces are to be per- formed. Ninto’s, Aston PLace.—The far-famed dramatic ballet-pantomime, entitled “Jocko, the Brazilian Ape,” commenced the performances here last evening, before a crowded house. Mons. Mareetti as Jocko, kept the audience convulsed with laughter by his astonishing performance of agility and mischievous feats through- out the entertainment. Mr. Schmidt, as Fernandez, the Brazilian planter, acquitted himself with his usual ability and talent, Mle. Mathilda, as Cava, a young Indian, also sustained the part with much’ success. The Brazilians, peasants, &c, &. were also well per- sonated by a full and efficient corps de ballet, The at- tractions nightly presented here, the high talents of the company who perform, and the enterprising spirit of the praprictor, must always ensure ie that: high share fof public patronage which it so justly enjoys, nie bill for this evening will be found highly attrac- tive. Cuataam Tueatne —“Clari, the Maid of Milan,’ was the first piece last evening, and Miss Mestayer went through the part of Clara with much grace. Her song of “ Home, Sweet Home,” that favorite and beautiful cn 4 was received with most enthusiastic applause; i is » song that finds » response in every heart. The “Glance at New York” followed, with as much success as usual; and the numerous au- diences that gather at the Chatham every evening, seem as if they can never see enough of Mose; they must make the most of him, however, this week, as the theatre will close after next Saturday evening, we un- derstand. I've drama of the “Idiot Witness,” the “Glance at New York,’ and the “Morning of Life,’ will form the entertainments for this evening; Miss Mestayer will play in the two first pieces, and the little Denins, Winans, and the strength of the company,will appear in the last, Bunron’s Tuxatne.—Last night, this theatre (late Palmo’s), opened for the season, under the most flat- tering and favorable auspices, A numerous audience filled the boxes, parterre, and galleries, te witness the various performances. Great expectations wore raised by such names as Brougham, for stage manager; Bur- San acting manager; ‘Loder, musical director; end Fredericks, as ballet master. Nor were the high raised. expectations of the public disappointed. This theatre, from the chanere and decorations it has undergone, is now a beautiful resort, anda comfortable of He amusement. The new en whieh ‘has boon selected, will bear com nm. wit that theatre in the Union. Mrs, Chapman, of Phil in burletta of “Maidens, Beware,” ited the audience. She was rapturously at the conclusion of 4 higbly entertaining faree of “ Raising the RN ature performed. Mr. Criap, a6 Jeremy Diddler, surpassed every one we have ever seenin this diffi. cult character. His performance was a master-) y and the applause and delight of the a were such as to prove that his talent was well appreciated The “ Irish Ds n,”? @ new farce, was perfectly successful; nor could it be otherwise with such real and genuine talent as that which Mr. Brougham displayed. In addition to all these pieces, the Viennoise troupe performed some of ‘dest dances, and, upon the whole, the opening was crowned with great success, affording a highly flattering pros- pect for the future. This little theatre, from we raw last night, bids fair to become the favorite and fashionable resort of the down town gentry. The en- terprising manager and talented company fully de- serve the success which doubt not they will meet with. For this evening’s entertainments, we refer to advertisement and bills. Castie Ganpen.—The very fine weather which we enjoyed last night, attracted numerous friends of Messrs French & Heiser to their place of amusement, The entertainments consisted of the comedietta of the ‘ Post of Honor,” the characters of which were perfectly sustained by Mesers. Holland, Nickinson, Mrs, Vernon, and Miss Nickinson, The Indian Chub- bee gave, afterwards, a wild concert of his own music, on the flute and “Saucepaniana,” and the whole per- formance concluded with the caricature sketch of the “ Boarding School,” in which all the pretty ladies of the choruses appeared to their best advan . abuse is that which has been thrown up against General Taylor. Some of the papers denounce him as a king log, as an inefficient and useless old man; and assert that he is entirely unfit tobe Pre- sident. This is the greatest joke of all, calling the kero of Buena Vista aking log. Well, they will discover that they have made a take im the man, when they find him in the White House on the 4th of March next. Pvrrina or Poxrricians-—Some of the politica papers have been letting off considerable steam in relation to the speech of Mr. Winthrop, on the 4th of July last, in Washington. Well! we have seen that &ddress, looked over it, and marked its contents; and we must say that it 18 a very crude, heavy, artificial, and dull affair, after all. The ideas of the whole address may be compressed into a quarter part of the space; and it would then only be made plain and agreeable. Itis melancholy to see the immense oceans of puffery, which the political journals throw away upon particular men belonging to their own side of the question, that last for a day, and then vanishe for ever. s. Loss or tHe U. cur. ONn-Ka-ye.—We learn by the British brig Hope, Capt. Morry, ar- rived here last night from Turks Island, that the wrecking schr.

The ©, was twelve days from New York for Chagres, with two Charge d’Aflaires on board, intended for Guatemala. The U..S. Consul had chartered the brig. New Orleans, of New York, to take Lieut. Merryman and crew to Chagres. The vessel was lost, officers and crew, and part of the materials saved. ‘The great patronage this fine place of resort is roceiv- ing, is a fitting reward for the exertions and enterprise of Messrs French & Heiser, whose indefatigable oxertions are constantly ublic.

Mavnice Strakosen’s Concent.—Last evening this inimitable performer on the pianoforte gave one of his delightful concerts at the Female Academy, Brooklyn. He was assisted by Miss Julia L. Northall, who sang the “Captive Greek Girl” very sweetly, as also the beautiful cavatina, “Nell'Opera Parisians,” by Doni- zetti, which she rendered with thrilling execution and i . ‘The aria, “On the Banks of the 3 by Balfe, which, as sung by Madame Bishop, at the Park, met ‘with the most enthusiastic cheers, was executed with = sweetness by Miss Northall, Strakosch, in a fantasia on favorite airs from Bellini, and Mind ma by himself, displayed all the power and beauties which this instrument is ble of, when touched by the fingers of true genius. His performance of the Sextuor, Finale, Ernani, elicited Tepeated cheers; but if ever the piano was to ak the language of music, his execution, last night, of the diMoult and beautiful plece, «The Carnival of Venice,” was the most thrilling and sublime effort we have ever heard. The aria from “Otello,” for the left ee woe heap Lin Rig bei bya spirited and elegant new com ion, a grant which is called “The Storming oe Monterey, ack dedicated, by M. Strakosch, to General Taylor. The performance of “Elixir d’Amour” wound up the babe ty entertainment, and the audience soparated highly delighted by the taste, refinement, and brilliant execution of the great pianist, We have seldom wit- nessed such enthusiasm as prevailed throughout the entire performance. Several beautiful bouquets were thrown toM. Strakosch. At the request of several highly respectable families, he will give another con- certat the Female Academy on Thursday oat next. when we have little doubt but that the room be crowded. Tue Stevenmanxiscne Mustcan Company gave their ninth grand instrumental concert last evening, at the Tabernacle, before » highly delighted auditory, ‘They performed several of the most popular pieces the day, with infinite taste and execution, The fol- lowing were received with much applause, and “ Frede- rick William’s Garden Volka” was encored :—“Swe- dish Parade, March,” overture to the “Crown Dia- monds,”’ “ Bouquet Waltz,” introduction to “ Belisa rio,” “ Festi uadrilles,”’ first finale from “Don Juan,” The tenth concert will be given to-morrow (Wednesday) evening.
