A month’s really auspicious harvest weather might, however, do much to allay excitement. In that case, the crops in | the north would be well got in, and a it deal of in, which otherwise might be rendered almost use- would all turn to account, if thevenahly dried in the fields before carried. Within the last few daysa decided improvement has taken place, and we sin- cerely hi that the uneasy feeling now prevailing, relieved, which it certainly would be by a more ‘tate of the weather. A Lesig ey ao or ‘tly deficient harvest, would, in the exist- fice to prevent prices rising a ee cause serious inconvenience to There is the t classes of the community. no doubt that farmers are still. large holders of old wheat, and as the repeal of the duty on foreign in February will, unquestionably, have the effect of drawing large supplies from abroad to this country, nothing but # most disastrous result of our own barvest would, in our opinion, warrant the expec- tation of much her rates than those now current. ‘The potato disease is unfortunately spreading, but for some months to come there is not likely to be any de- ficiency of that article, and as the moderate prices at whieh potatoes are selling cause them to be very largely consumed, the stocks of breadstuffs are being less extensively Crawn upon than would otherwise | have been the case. The arrivals of wheat ceastwise into London have been moderate since the close of last week, and the quantity exhibited at Mark Lane by Jand carriage samples from the home counties has been small. On Monday, from o third to a halfof what ‘was shown on the x and Kent stands consisted of new, some of fine quality, but the condition of the major pert of the samples was soft. The trade opened under §reat excitement, in consequence of the extreme wet- ‘mess of the morning. In the first instance, an advance of fully 5s. pe quarter on the rates of tbat day week | was demanded, but this could not be established ; | ultimately, however, the stands were cleared at ices 38, per quarter above those of the preceding londay. Since then the supplies have been trifling in the extreme, hence the operations have not been of much importance ; but the business done on Wednes- day, as well as this morning, was at rather higher terms than those current in the beginning of the week. ‘The arrivals of wheat from abroad have not been large; and a further fallin the duty being regarded ascer- | tain, all is being landed in bond. We have expe- | rienced a good steady demand for free foreign, and & | lively inquiry for bonded wheat. ‘The former has ad- vanced sbout 2s, and the latter 2s to 35 per quarter since the close of last week. Floating cargoes and reels freeon board at foreign ports, have been much quired for, and have advanced more than either lock or free wheat on the spot. On Wednesday, 52s per quarter cash and freight was paid for a cargo of Polish Odersa. ‘The top price of flour was advanced | on Monday to 53s per sack, aud other sorts rose in | proportion; the sale bas since been slow. Of English Darley searcely any has come to hand; for foreign there bas been & good demand throughout the week, at prices 1s to 2s per quarter above those previously cur- xent, Malt has also risen more or less in value, ‘The arrivals of oats have not been large from any quarter since our last, and a considerable portion of the im- menre supply before received from abroad having been cleared off the market, prices have rallied 1s per quar- ter, #Beaxs have likewise advanced 1s, and pease 2s to Bs per quarter. There has not been much doingin Indian corn, owing to the very high pretensions of holders. [From the Mark Lane Express, Aug. 21.) Since we last addressed our readers, the prospects for the harvest have not improved; indeed, we are dispored to think that more mischief was done by the weather experienced on Sunday and Monday than | any which preceded. In the western parts ef the ki dom there was « steady rain on Sunday.and Monday was a thorough wet day nearly all over the kingdom ; rubrequently the temperature was high, with a cloudy sky and littie or no wind. Under these circumstances no Furprise can be felt that where the corn was down (and this ir, unfortunately, the case in many districts) it should have grown in the ear. This has also oc- curred in partial instances where it was standing on the fields in shock, and there is reason to fear that the proportion of sprouted grain will this year be unusu- ally great. In the northern and backward districts comparatively little harm has yet been done, and the weather has certainly been much more unfavorable in the south than in’ the north of England or Scot- land. Of the corn which has been carried during the week | Yery little can possibly have been saved well, as Fri- day has been the only really fine day with which we have been favored. As far as quality is concerned, an immense amount of damage hes already been done ; and, with onlya very small proportion of the harvest saved, and the precarious position of the erops abroad, whether cut or still standing, our prospects for the future are sufliciently discouraging. ‘We have no wish to create unnecessary alarm, and have, as long as we deemed that no real mischief had deen done, used our best endeavors to allay apprehen- sion. Even now, notwithstanding all that has taken place, we are disposed to think that, with fine weather, the country m'ght yet be spared the misfortune of a very deficient harvest. The reports from most of the Eastern and Northern counties are of a much more satisfactory character than, from the position of affairs nearer home. might be expected; and though we do not calculate on more than an average yield in the most favored districts, the produce, if not further deterio- rated by bad weather, might, perhaps, with the old wheat remaining in farmer?’ hande, prove pretty nearly sufficient for our wants, assisted, as we shall unques- tionably be, by importations on rather a large scale, in the fall of the year, from abroad. | The accounts respecting potatoes continue of much | the same character as before. The disease is undoubt- edly general all over the kingdom, and has extended to the late as well as the early varieties. Whether any portion of the produce will be sufficiently sound to keep in the pits is questionable, and, so long asa free sale can be found, the growers are likely to supply the mar- kets freely. In London, the quantity brought forward has not been £0 great in proportion, as at some of the | country places; still the consumption of bread has fallen off a good deal in the metropolis; and in the Taral districts the poorer classes are almost subsisting on potatoes. This bas had the effect of lessening the demand for wheat; and the rise inits value, at the prin- cipal provincial markets, bas scarcely corresponded | with thet established at Mark Lane on Monday last, | At Liverpool, a good deal of speculation appears, ho ever, to have taken place in bonded wheat, Indian corn, and meal,and the rise on all these articles hi deen important.

Harvest had been much interrupted by wet weather, and no te Cyd of new corn worth men- tioning had been brought to market. At Hamburg, on Tuesday. the weather was very fine, which had some effect on the wheat trade, and pur- chases might have been made at about 1s, per quarter below the extreme rates of the previous post day. From Lower Baltic ports there had been sellers at 438. to 44s. uarter. for 62 to 631bs. quality. Fora parcel ofupland on the spot, weighing 62 Ibs., 438. 9d. per quarter, free on board, had been taken. ‘The blockade of the Elbe would, it was expected, be strictly enforced by the Danish fleet, and even the steamboats would not be allowed to carry cargo. In the Dutch and Belgian markets the value of wheat has lately advanced, owing partly to orders having been sent from hence to those countries, and portly to the prevalence of the potato disease in the jetherlands. The great rise which the price of wheat has lately undergone at the near continental ports will, ‘no doubt, cause attention to be directed to the mere distant ports, and news from the Mediterranean has consequently again become of interest.

The colonial markets have again this week presented a heavy appearance. and in nearly all cases there has been difficulty in effecting sales at former rates. The importers, however, have acted with caution in not preseing large quantities forward, and thus, in prices enerally, there has not been very much variation. n the opening of the sugar market, on Tuesday, the rates paid were decidedly in favor of the buyers; but in subsequent sales, the quotations show little altera- tion. The market generally has been dull throughout the week, except in the instance of white Bengal sugar, | which is scarce. and has, in consequence, commanded fuil prices, though an advance on previous quotations has not generally been obtainable.

From Ireland. on the other hand, the reports re- Fpecting potatoes have become alarming during the last week ; and the wheat crop will also, we fear, prove very short in that c.untry. Oats and barley are, | | however, represented as promiring, and likely to turn | ‘out well both in quantity and quality. The arrivals of wheat, coastwise into London, have deen only moderate, the quantity reported up to thit (Saturday) evening, amounting to 4580 yrs. A com. Paratively mall proportion of the supply has consisted of new, and the quality of the Iatter has not been fine: nor is there much hance of an improvement taking pitee im this respect, as all the cora lately carried must ve been got in under unfavorable circumstances. ‘The trade at Mark Lane has been less excited than might have been expected, the millers having, through- ont the week, conducted their operations with a good deal of caution. On Wednesday, business commenced lapguidly, and for a time it appeared doubtful whether the advance of the previous market day would be maintained ; subsequently. however, the demand be- came fomewbat more active, and the sales effected were at fully former terms. On Thureday, some quan- tity ot rain fell in this neighborhood, but on Friday the weather was bright and clear, which no doubt prevented a further ric, as there was evidently more native kinds only realized 288, per cwt.

We have an immense pile of European corres- pondence on hand, which we received by the steamship Hibernia, at Boston. It is useless to attempt to give it in full in one day’s paper, for our space would not allow of it ; but we shall publish it in instalments from day to day, until the whole shall have been placed before our readers. Our letters are so remarkably full and compre- hensive that 1t is almost needless for us to refer to the state of the European continent. Wars and rumors of wars are still rife ; the whole of Europe is in a state of fomentation, and blood will, accord- ing to present appearances, be shed in immense quantities before an equilibriu be again estab- lished. France, the mother of commotionand re- volution, is in a state of ominous quietness ; but it is a quietness which cannot be depended upon for anhour. Paris is still in a state of siege, and were it not, an outbreak would, in all probability, have taken place there before this. The Italian question has not been adjusted ; but he desire for peace is so general and earnest, that we shall probably receive intelligence by the next arrival, of the settlement, for a while at least, of that difficulty. England presents no feature call- ing for particular comment at this time. That | country is nominally in a state of quietude. The masses are, for the time, subdued ; but no one can tell how soon the time may arrive whien they wily rise in their might and shake off theiryoke. The seeds of destruction to monarchy there have taken deep root—in time they will bring forth their fruit. The rumors of a revolution in Rugsia have been most vulgar movement danced in the little villages of Hungary, and in the encampments of the Hun- garian soldiery, who, in consequence of the spurs attached to their boots, are obliged to move their feet in a certain easy and strange position, which is neither graeeful nor elegant, so as not to endan- ger their legs. This is the origin of the polka; yey we see our fine young men and our beautifu, young ladies vieing with each other who shal dance with the greatest vigor and accuracy, this low camp dance, which would be a disgrace to an Indian wigwam. To such an extent has this mania laid hold of them, that in the United States Hotel at Saratoga, and in the Ocean House at Newport, it might be safely said there is nota camp-follower in the Bohemian or Hungarian army, who could surpass them. The singular downward history of the model artists, in this city and elsewhere, 1s, we suppose, but a parallel to a similar fate for the far-famed polka among our fashionable circles. Powers Greek slave, a figure pure and ethereal as the sculp- tor’s chisel and the artist’s genius could form, w: the first, and ought to have been the last exhibitien of that kind in New York. But Collyer, with tis model artists, quickly followed, and led the way to the vulgar, gross, and obscene exhibitions which disgraced, not only the theatres and public places of amusement, but the saloons and ball-rooms ot the higher classes in this country. The polka, as danced at Newport, 1s not in any degree less objectionable than these other exhibitions—indeed, it 1s rather more so; for while purity and modesty would shrink abashed from outrage when model artists were exhibited, the conventional usage of society—the haut ton—has thrown its protection over the Hungarian camp dance, and obtrudes upon the young and unsuspecting what would be repu- diated in Canal street. ‘The truth is, our fashionable circles, who pretend to such extraordinary refinement, are wholly desti tute of cultivated taste, polished manners, or moral teelings sufficent to check the introduction of fo- reign licentiousness and corrupt manners. If they were only ambitious to be the respectable descen- dants of respectable mechanics, and to fill their re- spective positions in society, with honor to them- selves and credit to their families, and not aspire to what they are, neither by education, manners, nor correct taste, able to atiain, they might be con- sidered good and honest citizens, pass through lite without notice, and escape without reproach. But when we see individuals of the grossest manners, the greatest 1gnorance--individuals deplorably defi- cient in mental and moral training, with no other recommendation but the possession of a little pro- perty, no one knows how acquired, making a show of themselves before the public eye, and sapping the foundation of public morals, we feel 1t to be our duty to denounce thus vulgar and disgusting dicta- tion ; to arouse the public indignation againstt he bad taste that is flooding us with its impurities, and to exert ourselves to save the innocent and unsus- pecting from its contaminating influence. We have seen every kind of society, from the highest to the lowest, on the continent of Europe; but we must say that the indecency of the polka, as danced at Saratoga and Newport, and patronized by the fashionable circles ot New York,stands out in bold rehef from anything we have ever witnessed, among the refined and cultivated ton of the vari- ous European cities we have visited. No parallel can be found for it anywhere. It even outstrips and throws in the shade the most disgraceful ex- hibitions of the lowest haunts of Paris and London, “ Notwithstanding this, however, the sanctimoni- ous sachems and corrupt fathers of our city, who can turn up thei: eyes in the most approved or evan- gehical fashion, and the prudish dames who would fly into hystenes if any oar were made upon their modesty, are the leaders of the company on these occasions, and as far as they can, by counte- nance and example, neutralize the disgusting and hateful impressions which are first created by it in the minds of inexperienced youth aad unsophisti- cated innocence. What a shame and discredit upon the taste, refinement, and virtuous character of fashionable society in this city ! {n our future articles we shall go more into de- tails and give a curious and interesting analys of fashionable society in New York and elsewhere. contradicted—indeed we did not think them | worthy of credence in the first place. | Close of the Fashionable Season at Saratoga and Newport—New Developements of the Polka, A few ordinary individuals, of common-place manners and little style, are all that remain now at the fashionable watering places of Saratoga and | Newport. We understand that the last of the live fashionables—men and horses, dogs and monkeys— | have taken their departure from both, and although | the weather is as heantiful, the sky as clear, the j | sun as bright, and the moon as serene as before, | these inestimable gifts are, of course, thrown away | upon the motley group who are congregated there | at present, without a single belle or solitary ex- | qmsite among them capable of dancing the extra- | ordinary Hunganan polka, which, during the last tw years, has heen the rage of the fashionable | rs in New York and elsewhere. One of the greatest attractions at these watering | places has doubtless been the polka, asperpetrated, | | performed, and executed by the several corps d° | | ballet und fashionable coteries, each headed by a | dowager, clothed in fatand impudence. It is now seme months ago since the statue of the Greek e, chisseled by the genius of Hiram Powers, arrived frem Italy in New York. This beautiful | work ef art delighted every eye and filled every | imagination. It was a model; but not a model | artist. The tableaux vivants, however, followed | soon after; and under the influence of the prece- dent, which many considered the exhibition of Powers’ s them, they eame to the con- elusion that the living orginal was better than the | marble copy, and went on by degrees, stripping off their drapery, and disclosing at every new exhil tion, a more complete state of nudity, tll they ar- | rived to such a pitch of shamelese degradation and | infamy as to call foith the condemnation of the whole city, and the action of the civic antho- | rities for their suppression. The polka thatis now | danced so gracefully in the fashionable assemblies | of New York, and at Saratoga and Newport dur- | ing the season just closed, has gone through the same cycle as the Greek slave and the model | artists, tll publi propriety has become so outraged | that im all probability it will soon be consigned to | | a similar doom. | A few years age the polka was first introduced | into fashionable society in this country, by the eele- brated Korponay, an officer in the Hungarian army | of Austria, who had been engaged ina duel with | a superior officer, and was obliged to fly his coun- | | try in consequence. He came to New York an | emigrant and a fugitive. He was an elegant and accomplished man, and danced the Bohemian polka with the greatest facility and grace. Having obtained an introduction to the fashionable circles of this ety, he got the opportunity of exhibiting the fascinating figures of this dance, and subse- quently made many thousand dollars by teaching itto the beltes and beaux who flocked to him to | learn it. But the history of the polka, like that of the | model artists, went on from one step to another, | until it has reached a smilar point of infamy and | degradation. The polka, as now danced in our most highly re- | fined and fashionable circles, and recently at New: | port and Saratoga, is one of the most indecent | immcedest, and scandalous exhibitions ever exhi- | bited out of the common gardens of Paris, and | can only be paralleled by the dances to be seen there at 3 or4o’clock in the morning, in Mabile, Chateau Rouge, or Chaumiere. We were utterly astonished to see the highly respectable deseen | dants of the picus butchers, and honest baker and tailors of the last century, joining in the dance with an abandon, dissolnteness and gross- ness, that would net be tolerated by the police of any ey in Kuropo, if iteame ander their obser- vation, The pelka which is now danced in the foshicnable circles of New York, isthe lowest and | Mr. Borron | rtillners of a beautiful evening. Violent Shocks of an Earthquake in this City and Elsewhere, Many of our inhabitants, as well as those of the surrounding country, were startled about a quarter past ten o’clock on Friday night, by a sudden trem- bling of the earth, accompanied by aroaring sound; | very much resembling distant thunder, or the passing of a heavy vehicle over rough stones. The shock was felt for a minute, in several sections of the city, and, in one or two pla caused the doors and window shutters to fly open. In Courtlandt street, it was very sensibly felt by a gentleman, and at the corner of Hanover and Beaver streets by another gentleman. It was also felt very sensibly in Fifth street, and caused the houses to shake very much, and was particularly remarked by a lady, who supposed ig proceeded from the jarring of ajloaded cart, as she heard a sound resembling that made by such a vehicle. Itwas also felt in Brooklyn, and the effects wero more perceptible on the heights, a description of which is contained in the following lette: Brooxtys Heicurs, Sept. 9, 1348 At 22 minutes past 10, by clock time of observation— which is 18 minutes slower, or four-and-a half e of longitude, than the true time of this meridian shock of an earthquake was felt. It was tremulous, of near one minute's duration, and was succeeded by another shock One minute subsequently, of short du- ration. The atmosphere at the time was serene and tranquil, not cloud visible, nor any motion ef the atmosphere ; the moon was shining brightly, and a luminous belt extending from it in a nor easterly di- rection, forty degrees in length and two degrees wide, having the appearance of the milky way; the milky Way,wasinvisible. The morning, at four o'slock, was cold; the magnetic, electric and meteoric wires marked fifty-reven degrees—the north-eastern clouds were lu- minous before sunrise.

Thunder storms belong to this state of atmosphere; the steam boilers are sub> ject to beng colapeed. At White Plains, when a camp meeting is going on, the people were very much alarmed by the strange sound which produced the shock, which waa felt by every one on the ground ; and some of the tents were almost thrown down by the vibrations, And at Har- lem it was felt and heard by several perrons.. E. M The following is a letter from a gentlemen residing in Twenty-ninth street, where the shock was also felt : Mr. Eviton.—That there was 2 smart shock of an earthquake in our city on Friday evening, | am fully satisfied ; but not finding any notice of it in the morning Here/d.| give you the evidenee on which I baremy conviction of ihe fact of the shock being felt, and Jeave you and your readers to judge for your- selves ax to this very unusual occurrence in our country On Friday evening (8th), a few minu partldo'clock, | was walking slowly in front of th large block of dwelling houses in Lamartine place, Wert 20th street. when I heard a rushing, rumbling, rattling, round, like the noire in Broadway, at the busiest hours of day; and instantly, the windows were thrown Up, and front doors opened by the ocoupants of the place, who, startled from their seats or beds, rushed ovt to arcertain the eanse of such a violent shaking of the buildings and furniture, There ap- peared to bea concurrent feeling of a distinet vibra- ion of the enrth from west to east, accompanied with | &tuort painful tremor to the human system, parti | larly among the *. who rprang from their chairs and beds im grent alarm. I have frequently wit- neeted pimiiar roenes in South America; but never | defo n New Vork knew a * Tembior, Besides the places above mentioned, it was felt most | eensibly at New Brighton, which the following lette will thow New Bnionton, Sept, 811 P, M The shock of an earthquake haa just disturbed the It came from the north, and passed in a southerly direction, shaking the houre in which I am sitting fo as to cause windows, crockery, and glass to rattle viclently for a few se. conds. The shock was sufiiciently heavy to wake many from sleep; and its rumblings, as the sound died away in the south, could be heard for a moment or more ailer, The night is still clear and the mer. eury at CX At Hastings it was felt by several, and the noise was thought to be thunder; and itis raid was accompanied by lightning. AtStaten Island and Hackensack, the shock was also felt, but was less violent. The recend shock wan not perceptible, except upon Brooklyn Heights. That a violent earthquake has taken place, there is not @ doubt, probably either In Mexico or some of the Wert India islands; and we shall soon have the news of the place whore it oceurred. A general drouglit har prevailed throughout the eountry for some time past ; and some are dieporcd to impute the strange qonval ‘ sion ofnature to that cause; but that conclusion is most improbable, and no reason can be given why drought should produce such an effect; while others suppose s tremendous explosion has taken place, at no very distant point. A gentleman, however, who has resided in that region, where earthquakes are more common, assures usthat it was the shock of one of those terrible convulsions to which the tropics are subjected. ‘Was it an Eartnquaxe ?—Last evening, when sitting quietly in my parlor, a low, rumbling s0' was heard by myself and companion, atten very sensible movement of the house, both of suc! culiar character as to induce the remark imme- tely, “‘ that must have been an earthquake.” The sound was probably of eight or ten seconds’ duration, and the motion communicated te the house was not that shaking or Eeeiting, which usually attends the posing: by of a heavily loaded wagon in frosty wea- er, but more of an undulatory motion, as if the house rose and fell. 1 looked at my watch, and found it wanted 25 minutes of 11 o’clock. I could see no appearance of any looking toward the west, nor did any report or explosion follow the rumbling sound.--Newark Advertiser, Sept. 9. The Ocean Monarch. The destruction of this fine ship, and the loss of so many human beings in the terrible manner de- scribed 1m our telegraphic report from Boston, has excited much feeling among our citizens generally, and great anxiety is felt here by those having friends on board. We have stated the number of souls on board to have been 380, out of which we can reckon from all sources, 199; thus leaving 181 who are supposed to have perished. :— CABIN PASSENGERS.

Upon the receipt of the information of the des- truction of the Ocean Monarch by fire, a subscription although at this late period of the assizes, upwards of half the gentlemen had already left the town ‘The packet ship Ocean Monarch was built by Do- nald McKay, at East Boston, and launched Juae 12, 1847. She tailed on her first voy age to Liverpool July 7, and having completed three voyages, was returning on her fourth at the time of her destruction.

Mess Frocn Taaix & Co, :—Gentlemen.—It devolves upon me to convey to you the painful intelli- gence of the destruction of the Ocean Monarch, by fire, We left Liverpool on the morning of the 2ist, and at 8 A. M., discharged pilot! and steam tug, with the wind at the westward. At 12 meridian, being 6 or 8 miles of Orme's Head, the order to tack ship was given,; the main yard being hauled, the steward came on deck, and said that one of the steerage passengers had built a fire in one of the ventilators, | immedi ately ordered the second imate to go down with the steward, to put the fire out, and bring up the delin- quent, But before this could be done, we discovered that the rhip was on fire ; immediately endeavored to put it out, when instantaneously the whole stern of the ship burst out in flames. ‘The scene that took place,then, baffles all dereription, and I will not here at- tempt to enter into a particular detail. Consternation and despair prevailed througnout the passengers— all control over them was lost, No order of mine could be beard above the shrieks and screams of men and women; consequently, none could be obeyed. J however ordered the anchors to be let go, to bring the ship to the wind, in order to keep the flames in the after part of the ship-as much as possible. Orders wer given to get out the boate—succeeded in getting two, and while endeavouring to get the launch and other small boat, the flames spread #0 rapidly that before the lashings could be cut away, the men were obliged to derist, ‘Tne pareengers crowded on the forecastle and , and appeared frantic with despair and infa- tuation.

Pank Tueatre.—Notwithstanding the familiarity of the play-going public with the tragedy of “ Macbeth,’” yet it always has charms and attractions which fail not to draw crowded houses when the chief charac- ters of this noble iy are represented by talented: actors. Such was the case last evening, at the Park when Mr. Hamblin appeared as Macbet ‘The well known talent of this gentleman was sufficient to give novelty and attraction to this familiar tragedy, and to draw such a house as is only to be seen when a great actor is announced. It would be quite sapencgsiony to make any elaborate criticism of a performance wit which the public is so well acquainted, and which it knows so well how to appreciate. Suffice it to say, that Mr. Hamblin, on this occasion, fully sustained his {high reputation, and was peculiarly happy and successful in his performance last night. Some of his points were new—all were ble. He was also well sustained in his part by the other performers ; and, upon the whole, we never saw an audience better pleased and satisfied. The admi- rable afterpiece of the “Eton Boy” followed, in which Miss Telbin again exhibited that uncommon archness and peculiar talent, in those lively and amusing pieces which have made her deservedly a fa- yorite oe the public. The opening of this did theatre was, we understand, experiment, previous toa final settlement of prices. The following are now officiall: nounced, as the prices at this grand thea- tre :—Dress circle, 75 cents; family circle (second 1 Sdeentes, upper boxes 25 cents i Pity S724 cents ani ry, 1234 cen’ ere can be no doubt, that, oe above prices, the Park will henceforth be crowded. Bowery Tuxatne.—The house was tolerably wel attended last evening, and those who were present were well repaid for their visit by the very amu- sing pieces. which were acted in most capital style. The first piece was the little comedy of the “ Pet of the Petticoats,” one of the most amusing Bone that has been performed for some time. Mrs. Walcot takes the pet of Poll, the pet, who, by a series of adventures, is instrumental in restoring two young wives to the arms of their husbands, dashing officers of . There is a great deal of fun in the piece, euch as Poll’s oarry- ing out the lessons for love-making; poor Job, the - dener’s (Wipans), downfall from strong drink, and the mishaps of the amorous Dancing Master, (Jordan,) all of which caused much mirth, and was loudly applauded, and the curtain fell on the “Pet of the Petticoats’? amidst much cheering and applause. The nautical drama of “Tom Cringle’s Log,” and the romantic spectacle of “ Brian Boroihme,’’ concluded the even- ing’s amusements. The Bowery hus done @ very ex- cellent business during the past weck; almost every evening it has been crowded with most respectable audiences. During the coming week, we expect it-will be equally well attended, as eeveral new pieces will be produced. Broapway Tueatre.—We scarce know how to be- gin to speak in terms sufficient to give the reader a faint idea of the magnificence of this theatre, and the more than magnificent mental luxuries which are every" night presented to view. For two weeks Mr. For- rest has been playing ; and the proof of success of the establishment is the immense crowd which nightly assemble, to look upon the legitimate drama in its pu- rity. He has appeared in many of the first characters; but in his great original character of the Indian chief, in the tragio play of “Metamora, the last of,the W: noags,” in which he presented himself last night, be, by far transcended all the others. He most beauti_ fully personated the character of the red man, both in his acts of kindness and revenge—in the time of peace, kind and gentle, administering to the wants of the white man, but when that bond had once becn: broken, all the deep revenge of his blood is roused and and pushed to the farthest extremity; and whem there are none left but himself and Nameokee, (Miss Wallack) his wife, he sends the fatal steel to her rather than she should fall a prey to the enemy of his race ; and, throwing away his kuife, meets, with a bold front, the fatal lead which is sped to slay him. Miss Wallack performed her part with good effect, and. Mrs. Abbott, as Oceana, the daughter of the Tepid waspar excellence, The piece was well cast, and pla: ed with great spirit. After the full ef the curtain, ™ Forrest was loudly called for. He appeared, bowed, and tetired. Mille Celeste and Mons. Wielhoff appeared in and pas de deux, which was loudly encored.— They are without superiors in their line, ‘The petite comedy of “Is he Jealous’ followed, in which Miss. Isabel Dickinson appeared as Harriet, and wi usual, received with bursts of applause. The was received throughout with great favor, am worthy of the applause bestowed upon it. Broad is the place ; and the managers are determined that it -_ idl be worthy the fayor which is now extend. edto it. Nationat Tueatns.—Every evening the excite- ment in favor of the new local piece at this house seems to increase, as last night it was more densely filled than it yet has been since the “M ‘ies and” Miseries of New York” have been brought out, and: great was the cheering and applause which the Various scenes in that piece elicited. The dressing of the various cbaracters in this plese is most ty. done ; the tlouchy, seedy pickpocket, the bluff burglar, the muddle-headed Dutchman out’on « ‘pre, ani especially the low Irish represented in the scene in the old Brewery, are all most perfectly costumed. ‘The Dutch ball,'with the orchestra, refreshments, and Jinal,in the way of a “ius,” is a most laughable tcene Previous to the drama the amusing farce of a. “Kiss in the Dark” was played, and Burke, as the jealous-minded Pettibone, was very comical.’ Miss Mestayer. as Mra, Pettibone, alsoacted well; the scene whgre the kiss in the dark is given, was inexpressibly ludicrous. ‘The National is now in the full tide of po- pular favor, crowded every evening with most intelli- gent and respectable audiences, and from the exoel- lent manner in which it is managed, we have no douby it will long maintain its present stand. Burton's Turatne.—“Dombey & Son” was again performed here, last evening, before a crowded house. “Captain Cuttle”’ (Mr. Burton) shone out as usual, in- his brightest colors, and kept the house convulsed with laughter during the perform Walter Gay, by Mr, Grace, was well sustained ; and Jack Bunsby, by Mr. Nickinson, was an excellent personation, The- merits of this piece—tho high talent of the drematis persona, who have sustained its reputation upon the boards of this popular theatre, since its first introduc- tion, under the present abie management of Mr. Bur- requently taken occasion to notice ; @d» on last evening, the many patrons of this theatre seemed to enjoy the rich bill of fare with more than usual zest. ‘The house was crowded to excess. To- morrow evening, Milton’s * Masque of Comus”” will be presented, together with other attractions, which. must insure a jam house, Ninxo's, Aston Ptace.—In consequence ofthe cloudy- state of the atmosphere in the early part of last even- ing. this fathionable place of amusement was not s0° well attended as usual, We regret this the more, ag the performance was for the benefit of Signora Lictti Rossi, one of the most acefmplished members of the Italian company, who have lately acxjuitted themselves #0 much to the satisfaction of the audiences at this place of entertainment, Rossini's opera of “11 Barbiere= i Siviglia,” was again performed with the same cart ar before. The Signora sustained her part with her usual ability, und on several occasions received thy warmest applause. Rosina was all that could be de. sired by her greatest aduirers. Having already ex Pressed our opinion on the merits of the other formers in this piece, it is uum now. The Signora, with Sigt Corsi, whore last appearance this waa, us with golden opinions of their superior qualiivations not only a8 vocalists but as dramatists and thelr departure will be a source of regret to all who are capable of appreciating the excellencies of the Italian opera. Campnett’s Mixstrets have concluded another week of successful concerts—indeed, each succeeding. evening their audiences are more enthusiastic than. before They are all singers and musicians of excel- lent talents, and the refined tarte which is displayed in their performances makes their concerts fit enter- tainment for the most critical ear, y will per- form every evening during the coming wee Casti® Ganven,—The usual Sunday jing con- cert will be given to-night at this fine place of resort.
