The Steamer’s Mails. The mails of the Niagara willreach this city early this morning. The Niagara arrived at Bos- ton one hour and thirty minutes before the mail train left that city. The News by the Niagara, The intelligence by the steamship Niagara, which arrived at Boston, at three o’clock P. M., on yesterday, and whose news we gave 1n an extra, last evening, is seven days later than that received by the Britannia, and is of much more amterest than appeared by our fimst despatches. ‘The uproar in the National Assembly of Pans, which is charged, as usual, on the progressive party, and the prospect of the question of the Pre- sidential election being decided on the principle of universal suffrage, are the most important French items. The arrival of our mails, however, may give us something of more interest. We have to trust, as yet, to our telegraphic despatches. The suppression of the Baden insurrection, and | the death of Struve, its leader, are confirmed ; but the condition of Germany is such as to promise, ere long, a thorough revolution of the whole em- pire. It wall be seen that Austria, trembling for her existence, has proposed the convocation of a general cengress ot the powers of Europe, at Ins- pruck, for the purpose of settling the administra- tion of the Lombardo-Venetian terntory, and the durable tranquillization, or rather pacification o the peninsula, beyond the Appenines. But this, in its authenticity is satisfactorily developed, a pro- digious sensation throughout the United States and Europe. In this country there is a large party favorable to the acquisition of that island, princi- pally confined to the South, and scattered through the West. No doubt can be entertained but that the white inhabitants of Cuba, the owners of the soil, would be delighted at the transfer of that sove- reignty to the United States in preference to any other country. A transfer of it to the British go- vernment would at once seal their fate, and accelerate downward the destmy of that fair island. The ruin of the British West Indies, and recently that of the French West Indies, would soon be followed by the complete downfall of Cuba, if she were to become an appendage to the Bntish government in any shape. The only salvation for Cuba, in its present condition, rests in its incor- poration into the American Union, and its becom- ing one of the confederated States of this republic. Probably the serious aspect of affairs in Europe may have influenced the Spanish government to listen to such a proposition from the American minister; but there can be no doubt that for some years past there has existed a disposition in the go- vernment of Spain to sell Cuba to the best purchaser, in order to get rid of its liability and debts, which have been a bar to the progress of that fine coun- try for many years past. Of course, the first idea of sale would naturally bring to mind that the British government would be the best purchaser, because that power could throw obstacles in the way of asale to any other. The new condition of things in Europe, by the spread of the revolu- tionary spirit there, and the new position of the United States, by the successful termination of the war with Mexico, and the exhibition of our national power, may be said to open a new field for the transfer, and successful transfer, of the island of Cuba to the United States, without any hostility on the part of Great Britain, or any other government. As to the purchase money, whether it is fifty, or a hundred, or even a hundred and fifty millions of dollars, we have not the slightest. doubt but that the inhabitants of Cuba would cheerfully assume the whole of it, and become re- sponsible for it to the treasury of the United States, if such a negotiation could be effected within a reasonable time. This question, we have no doubt, will create a great commotion throughout the country, and pro- duce a multitude of conflicting opinions in differ- ent parts of the republic. There is a large party in the North hostile to any such acquisition, but in the South and South-west, we are perfectly sa- tisfied, that the cession of Cuba to the United States would be hailed with unanimity and acclamation. That island would add materially to the power of the United States, and there are commercial and manufacturing interests in the North sufficient to neutral.ze, 1t properly developed, all the hostility of the fanatics and others, who might unite in at- tempting to defeat such a magnificent acquisition as that rich and valuable island. We have much more to say on this subject. Fovrterite Maniresto.— Mr. Philosopher Greeley has issued a mad manifesto to the free soil men of Ohio, the pretence of which is to urge them to the steadfast support ot General Taylor. This insane document, which extends over two columns, 18 a mere repetition of the stale argu- ments used by the Tribwne against General Taylor’s nomination, and in favor of the free soil movement. If it have any weight at all, which is | not very likely, however, from the crazy style in which it is written, itis calculated to injure Gene- ral Taylor in those portions of the country in which he most wants support. Everybody knows that any present agitation of the slavery question by General Taylor’s friends, is ill-advised; and that to rake up those old whig issues, in connection with his name, 1s the surest means to effect his defeat. The intelligent por- tion of the community, who will vote for General the present condition of affairs, 1s out of the ques- tion. The people of Europe are not disposed any fonger to let their mghts and | es be bartered between royal diplomatists. But it is also rumored that Austria has defim- tively rejected the mediation of England and France. This must precipitate the interference of the latter power in European war; and, indeed, she 1s already on the eve of such a change of rulers, as will result in plunging her into the midst of the strife. The stormy debates in the National As- sembly, the triumph of the universal suffrage prin- ciple in regard to the election of President, and the disturbances that have taken place, an account of which will be found in another column, prove that the conservatives are fast losing strength. It 1s said the government has resorted to the old trick of pretending to discover plots, on the eve of the election, for the purpose of acquiring a facti tious strength from the fears of the middle classes; but the trick; if it have been r--", attempted, is too stale to succeed. The governm=:.. of Prussia has, by a timely con- cession. .scaped another revolution. It is evi- dently, however, but delayed. There is every rea- son to believe that monarchy will disappear from every square mile of Germany, before six months have elapsed. Switzerland and Austria are represented to be at war. This is but an increase of the difficulties which are already heaped, mountain high, on the shoulders of that tottering old power. On the whole, the complexion of the news is favorable to the cause of the people. There is not a single throne in Europe that 1s not at present shaking. Russia and Prussia are said to be ebout to take part in the difficulty between Austria and Italy. England and France will follow, and then the game will be complete. Opening of Negotiations for the Cession of Cuba to the United States. Among the items of foreign intelligence received by the last steamer from Europe, not the least im- portant, but probably the most so, is the news con- ained in our correspondence from Madrid, of the actual opening of negotiations between the United States government and that of Spain, for the ces- sion of the island of Cuba to this republic. Of the accuracy of the intelligence communicated by our correspondent, we have no reason to doubt. It comes from the midst of the diplomatic circles in Madrid, among whom exist the only means of ascertaining the existence of such negotiations, beyond the bureaus of the two governments con- cerned in the affair. Its truth and accuracy, in ge- neral terms, have been eonfirmed in our opinions by a variety of incidents that have taken place on this side of the Atlantic, as well as on the other. It may be recollected that, afew weeks ago, we published an extract from a Madrid letter, which first appeared in a London paper, containing a qualified contradiction, under the authority of Mr. Saunders himself, the American Minister at the cout of Madrid, to @ report then in circulation that a negotiation of the kind was on foot between the American government and General Lopez, buy which really had nothing to do with the matter. We believe that our correspondent at Madrid gives the most accurate view of the present situation of the «flair. According to his account, the negotia- ion was opened in the shape of an inquiry on the part of the American government, whether the Spanish government would treat on the subject of ceding Cuba at all. This movement, \ | seems, was commenced in July or August last; and, accordingly, instructions must have been sent from Washington to the American | minister about the time of the adjournment of the jast session of Congress. The matter, therefore, may Le consid: red as having made some progress; | and, peilaps, the government at Washington ex- pects intelligence on the subject in a few weeks, of course favoreble to the project of acquiring that and neh isle | Taylor, will not vote for him asawhig. The | whigs, however, for their own purposes, desire | that General Taylor, if e'ected at all, should be elected as a whig, bound to recognise the politi- cians of the party as the lights by which he i steer; and, moze than all, bound to recognise them as the channels through which executive patronage is to flow to the office-beggars. It is evident that they care nothing for General Taylor, per se, if they can but make him the instrument of their own aggrandizement, and that of their party; and hence, in giving him a guasi support, such as that pretended to be given by this manitesto, they look not so much to secure General Taylor’s elec- tion, as to secure the election of a whig President, whom they can tum to good account when in office. This manifesto, then, of Mr. Greeley, is calcu- iated to do General Taylor much injury; if, in- deed, the disconnected manner in which it 1s written be not sufficient to dissipate all impres- sions, favorable or unfavorable, that the document is meant to have on the public mind. But when the madness of politics 1s joined to the folly of Fourierism, what extravagance may not be ex- pected ? AmenicaN Steamsuirs—-Tue Ocean Sream Navication Comrany.—The Hermann takes her departure to-day, at twelve o'clock, with a full freight and a fair number of passengers, for Southampton and Bremen. The last yoyage of this steamer was performed s0 satisfactorily, in spite of very rough weather and head seas, as was shown by the log, which we pub- lished at the time, that her friends confidently anticipate a successful trip from her, which will serve to strengthen her well established reputation. The solidity of their engines once secured, these ships have many advantages over those of our neighbors, which will always obtain for them a full share of the patronage of the public. They are not wet ships ; the accommodations for pas- sengers are on a most liberal scale; the cabins are arge, well ventilated, and furnished with every convenience ; and the well known kindness of their popular captains, who are carefully observant of the rites of hospitality towards the guests at their table, and studiously attentive to all their wants and comforts, renders the voyage across the broad Atlantic a tour of pleasure and instruc. tion. Every portion of the engines of the Hermann which was found deficient in strength, or appeared to be likely to need additional bracing, under any possible contingencies, has been thoroughly se- | cured. The company seems determined to per- severe in its good work, and make everything right that was not made right at first ; and, feeling « hearty good-will to this enterprize, as we always | have done, it gives us pleasure to bear testimony 10 their untiring exertions. We shall leave all | sneers at accidents which have befallen them, in common with other ocean steamers, to those who can derive pleasure from such exhibitions of il! nature. All enterprises of this kind must meet with troubles in the beginning. They must have their metal tried in various ways; but an American press and people, while it points out errors, ought to extend an encouraging hand to all American endeavors to reach, if not surpass, any other nation in any thing which lies within the grasp of | human ingenuity and exertion, | We never could exactly understand why Con- grese, at its last session, should have failed to ex- | tend to this line the same facilities which were granted to the other lines—one of which has since despetched a fine vessel for California and the cific. The Ocean Steam Company had two vessels afloat, and were on the eve of launching a third, whieh, there was every reason to belicve, | wou d eurpass the first two in speed, as well as in | burthen, Had the same course been pursued toward | them as was followed in regard to the conrpanies above referred to, the building of i to | more rapidityfthan it now does. In addition to the security furnished by this vessel herself, which would be more, in proportion to the advance pro- posed, than that afforded by other vessels, the government would have been guaranteed by the active resources of the company, furnished by a well-established business, The policy of the gov; ernment, which led to the formation of these con* tracts, would have been carried out. The United States want steamships afloat, ready to be taken into their service if occasion require it, It seems to have been a sad oversight to have neglected this opportunity of hastening the completion of the Franklin, as well as a gross act of partiality, which ought not to have appeared on the records of Con gress. It was consistent policy to have promoted the views of those companies who had not yet suc- ceeded in getting one ship afloat; butit was very inconsistent with that policy to have neglected that one which had already done so much at such asacrifice ; and which, as a pioneer in the onset, had encountered and overcome difficulties which, we repeat, lay in the way of all enterprizes of the kind. But itis reasonable to expect the ensuing session of Congress will, no doubt, place this mat- ter right. It was brought before them late last session, and under unfavorable circumstances- The cause, however, 1s a just one, and has gained strength by the delay; and all those members of Congress who have had the subject before them’ and all the facts connected with it, cannot fail to be impressed favorably toward it, and feel desi- rous of wanting it that equal measure of justice which it rightfully demands.

Sreciat Sxssions, corder and Aldermen Libby’ and Crolius,—Bruta- lity and its Reward —George F. Pfeister, a so, maker, at No. 1f1 Avenue B, was this morning called upon to defend himself before this Court, on « charge having most brutally flogged a small lad named Jere- miah Callaban. It appeared from the testimony, that the prisoner, who is a German, took the child, who is & bright boy, about 11 years of age, from the Orphan Arylura, in Prince street, in May, 1847, and had him indentured to him for the purpose of lea: and mysteries of manufacturing segars, Avout, the 20th of Avgust last, the little fellow went to Dr, Swe ney, who is one of the directors of the institution, and complained that he had been severely beaten by his employer; that the punishmen and begged the dector to interfere in his behalf. After saticfying himeelf that the boy had been abused, Dr. 8. directed him to take off his clothes, which bein done, his back pre most eloquent witness in his behalf, The skin of the entire back was bruised and discolored, presenting th ppearance of hardened liver. There were also marks of bruises upon ‘ma, and some upon his breast. On seeing this, Dr Sweeney took the boy with him to the police office, and lodged a complaint against Pfels- ter. Police J jee Osborn about to send an or- der for the delivery of the boy's indentures; but when he looked upon his mangled flesh, be tore up the order, and made out a warrant for the arrest of the inhuman master. The officer who made the arrest obtained also from the ehop the implement with which the torture had been inflicted, which he produced in court. It was part of a bed cord, doubled and twisted, #0 as to present a diameter of about one inch, anda length of some two feet; at one end were two knots, at the other, one; and the physicians were of the opinion that some of the severe bruises were inflicted by the two heavy knots, After being removed from Pfeister, the boy was placed under the guardianship of another, but more humane, reger manufacturer, to whom he gives the Dest satistaction. The trouble appears to have been, that the apprentice would only make from 350 to 396 tegars per day, while his master demanded that he chould make 400. It was, however. proven that expert Journeymen only make '860 good, and 500 common ‘ones, per diem. The defence was very lame, and the Court found the prisoner guilty, and eent him to the penitentiary for the term of three months. And the verdict of the spectators in court was like that occa sionally brought in by Western juries, viz. a him right.” Count Catenpan—This day—Cincvrr © tober Term— Now Ty 4, 7, Bt. 85 67,80, 9001. 04.

Madame Anna Bishop appeared again last evening in “ La Sfogato,” # piece which gives her the opportunity of introducing seve’ ral of ber most exquisite performances. The execution of several of her airs was of such a character, last eve- nipg. as to call for a repetition, and the fair songstress acceded to the demand by producing again the de- lightful melodies. Mr. Chapman, as Hezekiah Whit- tle, was as comical as ever—he was, indeed, irresistibly droll; while Mr. Dawson, as the exquisity Mr. Frede- rick Fitzcodfish ‘Tiptop, afforded considerable amuse- ment to the large audience present on the occasion. Mr. Walcot, as Mr. Starr Hunter, the enterprising ma- nager, was fully up in bis part, as, in fact, were all who participated in the enactment of “ La Sfogato.”” In the early part of the evening the farce of the ‘ Ladder of Love’? was performed, and Messrs. Moor- house, Dawson, and Chapman, as well as Miss Rose Telbip, Mrs. Dyott, Graham, appeared to tl very best advantag. Monplaisirs made another appearance in their favorite ballet of “ Esmeralda,” which was received, as well as Madame Bisho) it ing, with cheers and bouquets, dramatic repre- sentations at this house all partake of the high cha- racter which ought to mark the performances upon the public stage. There is no condescending to low de- vices, to surfeit audiences with vulgar and extravagant scenes. All is unobjectionable and respectable upon the stege, and all the representations are hailed with unqualified approbation i. 4 those who witness them. ‘The burlesques which are introduced, are of a legi mate, though amusing character; and while offensi caricatures are avoided, many points of real sigi cance and true wit are made, and that with an effect which tells.

The acting of J. M. Scott, Tilton, Winans, N. B. Clarke, Jordan, J. Dunn, Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Suth not forgetting Mr. Brown, the splendid equ t nd excellent actor, alltend te make the piece 0 off with much éclat. The dancing of Ciocca and eri, and the extravaganza of “Fortunio” were the other performances of the night. ‘Fertunio” is also a most favorite piece. Miss Taylor as the fortunate young wanderer, looks most charming and acts in the most lovely manner. To-night, Mr. Tyte, the musical director, tak ‘is benefit. The bill'he presents is t rate one, consisting of ‘‘Putnam,” dancing by Signora Ciocca, Signor Neri and Mr. Smith, and the beauti- ful spectacle of “ Cherry and Fair Star.”” Broapway Tueatke.—A vast amount of abstract entertainment was announced, and admirably per- formed, at this theatre last night, including comedy, both dramatic and operatic. In the former, the farce of the “ Omnibus,” admirably represented, gave fall scope to the characters to whom we have heretofore Sesigned the merit fully due to their respective identi- fications. To the comic opera, as popular as it is pe- culiarly amusing, of “L’Klisir d’Amore,” we have aleo paid that deference to the distinguished merits of the Seguin tronpe, which embraces a range of musical talent of rare combination, amongst whom may be enumerated Mr. and Mrs. Seguin, Messrs. Reeves and Leach, and a chorus of no insiderable merit. The em of the evening, however, shined most brilliantly i the judicious selection of the second act of the «Bohemian Girl,” which seems to derive, by every re- petition, a further accession of popularity. The music, a8 familiar as household language, loses none f itscharms by repetition. Attractive and familiar it must long continue to attract attention, when placed in the hands of such accomplished artists as compose the talented company now #0 suc- cessfully performing the Broadway.

Mann, in the ensuing week—perhaps on Thursday next. If public pirlt and enterprise ever merited & due appreciation, it ought to be cordially, universally and liberally ex- ercised towards him, who not only sacrificed the capi- tal he has long and industriovsly accumulated, for the benefit and improvement of the drama, but given to the city an embellishment in architectural beauty and and Mi Th symmetry, externally as well as internally. of unsur- | passed magnificence.

Burke, Stark, Pardey, &c , continue to please the audiences amazingly, and, as a piece of high merit, it will always ‘be welcome, whenever it may be presented. Mr. | Palmer’s acting as Robin Hood, the yeoman, is ex- | gellent. Mr. P. is a very creat favorite at the Nat nal; | he works hard, and is always well prepared with the parts he is cast in, all of which he enacts most judi- ciously. Mr. Herbert too, is a very great favorite; he is a most excellent comic actor, and in what we be- lieve is technically termed the “making up,” or dressi; character, he is first rate. “ Ivanhoe” has been a successful card for the manager, and will | probably have # longrun. The burlesque of “ Mr. | Macgreedy,” and the famous “Mysteries and Mise- ries,” coneluded the ning’s amusement. The “ Mysteries and Miseries,” will not be played after this week, or rather, after this and to-morrow evening, and if any ha ‘ot as yet seen it, let them not omit going, as i tes arias that ought to be seen by all. ‘The burleeque goes off nightly, with shouts of ap- lause. Chanfrau’s imitations are most surprising. ‘or to-night’s bill we refer to our list of amusements, Berton’s, Cuanners Strevt.—The beautiful and classic drama of “ Dombey and Son,” of which, and o the actors in which, we have #0 frequently spoken 80 highly, (as well as of other pieces and actors, for years | past,) with unbought and unthanked warmth and | ardor, was performed again last night, with unabated skill and effect, and undiminished applause and ad- | miration. The “ Sliees,” follow ephemeral piece | of no merit whatever, as tothe dramatical composi- | tion, but of much merit as far as relates to the per. formers and the scenety. As to the character which jr for the press, as a venal, enough has already been said, and we will say no more aout it. Actors h: night, i: they please, to misrepresent and abuse that class o} | gentlemen, to whose writings and criticisms they owe | much, if not half their fame and fortune. That there are some | , ignorant, and yenal é gaeg hangin; out the press, we make no doubt, jut we think reporters in general are not such as they were represented in this character. We thought, from the first, that it was not worth while for the corps of | honorable reporters to notice this silly character, | which is not a character or representation, but act of meanness, performed by one who is made to present a newspaper. To say the least of it, this was ‘wrong; for if such acts are performed by any news- paper, this were too trifling a mode to expose them, and if not, it was @ malicious falsity and invention, reflecting ungenerously and unjustly upon e class of men, who generally are an honor and an ornament to the ‘community. But, we understand Mr. Burton disclaims any such intentions; if #0, he ought to take entirely out of the way any evidence of such un- kind intentions. He ought to know that there is a | point about the body of a man, very delicate and very touchy, called the point of honor, and some high- minded, high-spirited, and honorable young men | have been roughly handled on this touchy point. ‘We do think some respect is due to the feel- ings of gentlemen and scholars, and that they should | mot be untruly painted before the eyes of the | ublic, as @ base, mean, and unworthy class of paltry ggare. We cannot speak for every journal of this city, but for the Herald we can say, there exists no establishment iu the world conducted with more honor, | mere liberality, or more correctness. If the proprietor knew of any one in his establishment guilty of con- duct opposed to the pure honor and rectitude which | distinguishes ite management, we know he would im- mediately discharge him from his employ, as we know im rome cases has been done. The ridiculous notion about “black mail,” as connected with the Herald establishment, only exists in the malicious minds and infameus inventions of a few disreputable and | rivals, who are dying every day with grief and ve ation at the triumphant career and well-merited su ceen of the universal New York Herald, But enough of this subject. We regretted at the first that any notice was taken by the reportorial corps of this ailly libel upon them, and we are perfeotly satisfied with the gentlemanly and candid explanations and mollif- cations which Mr, Burton, like an honorable man, has cheerfully made. There’ remains, however, a little episode to this little affair, on which we will give our opinion. So reporters, we are iaformed, went and hieeed when the above character came upon the stag offence was taken at this. we think wrongly, for it the inalienable, indefeisible, and imprescriptible right of the public to hiss whenever t ey | choose. Actors cannot, dare not, curtail this right from the public, to pass judgment upon them and their thelr pieces, But, furthermore, upon the hissing an actor came forward, and invited gentlemen to explain the reasons of their hissing. This wax unusual. A gentlemen then came forward to explain, on this in- vitation, and the same person who invited him then attacked and kicked him away. This was more than unusual—it was uncourteous, As generally happens in euch cases, the actors were more offended, who did this wrong, than those to whom the wrong was done. But enough ; the reporters have maintained and as- verted the honor and dignity of their characters, and the manager has responded, courteously and satisfac- torily, to their reclamations ; therefore, after shaking hands, and withing each other well. the curtain drops on the whole affair, and—exeunt omnes. Ninto’s, Aston PLace.—We witneesed last evening, with great pleasure a repetition of Mr. Macready’s “Hamlet.” We have no oceasion to qualify in the tlightest degroe the high praise we have before be ttowed wpon the impersonation. The actor masters the grand difficulty which very few are able to aster 71, 119, 138, 82, 84, 148, 150/56" 89) 81, 73, 161, 08, '86,’ 90, 87, 88, 102, 5.’ 43, 10, 110. 65. Common Pure.

If we were to take exception at all, it would be to an over precision, although auch an ex: ception might be unjust, asin “ Hamlet? more than in any other of Shakspeare’s characters, precision is most absolutely essential, as it isthe one in which, least of all, an intelligent ‘audience can tolerate that roughness and unevenness which may be easily overlooked in characters requiring # lower stand- ard of art for their delin We cannot attempt to instance any of the part, evineing more cial merit the others.— The death 6 as are all Mr. Macready’s death scenes. was strikingly imprecsive and beautiful. We rejoiced to see Mr. Crisp cast for Laertes. We h seldom seen 60 good a one. It was carefully stu: , d@ handsomely and gracefully enacted. The conse- quenee was, that the last scene was not marred, as we have frequently seen, past the principal actors, power to mend it. Mr, Crisp’s reading of his part, his enunciation and. his bearing on the stage all merit the hi, Mr. Clarke’s Horatio was very Jones's Queen. Mr. Chip; od Mr. T. Placide as the gr digger, were most excellent. We have never seen the arts better done. We cannot say as much of Mr. yder’s Ghost. We shall only say that often tempted to exclaim with Hamlet, “Al Mr. Macready rp this eveni: ear,” with Mr. Vandenhoff as Edgar. Broapway Cincus,—Last evening the Broadway cir- | cus was completely filled with the élite of the city, to witness the astonishing performances enacted at this delightful place of amusement. The performance com- menced with a grand entrée by the whole company, followed by the daring horsemanrhip of Master Wil- linms, which fairly tock the audience by surprise, The sailor boy, by Master Hernandes, was a bold and \on- derful piece of riding, ana by the renewed applause, thowed conclusively hat the spectators understood his merit, The British acrobats were very clever.

This circus is decidedly st and most genteel ever got up in this city. The company who visit nightly are highly respectable ; and as regards the police arrangements, which are under the charge of Prince John Davis, together with the other arrangements of the house, are most excellent, ‘We advise all who wish to see beautiful horsemanship, and spend a pleasant evening, to go to the Broadway circus. Cunisty’s Minstre.s are progressing as success- fully as usual, and their rooms are as much crowded as ever. Nothing can be pleasanter than an evening passed at Mechanio’s Hall, listening to the beautiful singing, and the other excellent performances, which these phitosophers present to their patrons. They are a first-rate set of singers, and ought to be heard by all, New Room,—At this establishment the philosophical exhibitions of Miarteni and Levasseur, and singular performances of Mr. Nellis, the armless attractions, and that they are powerful ones, the crowded condition of the New Room every evening will show, There is not a more instructive exhibition in New York. Camrpec.’s Minstrets sing, dance and joke, night after night, with much éclat. Their puns, conun- drums, &c.. are all capital. and where they can obtain such an immenée assortment of them we know not, as they are never guilty of bringing forward stale ones—the rame with their songs—every evening they present a fresh programme. To-night they will give a most excellent one. Mexopgon —This mug house is doing a fine busi- ness, and White's band of Ethiopian singers keep the excitement up in good style. They are a orga- nized company, and worthy of patronage. Graxp Concent.—Mr. and Madam Leati, very emi- nent vocalists, who have lately arrived in this coun- try, intend giving a concert at the Apollo Rooms, on Tuesday evening, the 24th of October. They willbe aseisted by Messrs. Joseph Burke and Richard Hoff- man, and the whole will be under the direction of Mr. . Madam Leati possesses a soprano voice of the first order, and her style and execution are truly ex- cellent. We heard her sing an Italian scena, which she rendered with great sweetness of tone, and infinite musical skill. Mr. Leati also deserves to be noticed as one possessing a fine baritone voice, which he uses with a science which evidences the highest marks of a good musical education. Tasvrnacir.—Germania Musica Socirty.—The seventh concert of this highly talented band of per- formers took place last evening, and was better attend- ed than any other previous soirée. We felt very glad to see that the public seem to wish to judge and ap- preciate the extreme genius and ability of the Ger- mania band, and we hope that their sanction will spread away, and bring many hearers to the worthy 4 rman musicians. The “Hungarian National March, by Gung’l, was given in all its grandeur-—ng to the grand overture, ‘‘Jessondy,” by Spohr, it is, to our taste, more remarkable for xicely finished’ details, than for breadth of effect, it was. nevertheless, given with great power. Much credit is due to M. Sonulz, for grand violin solo, in which he showed himself a master on his inetrument. The concert ended with a“ Pot Pouri, La Fille du Régiment,” which afforded the amateur of music to have a hearing, on scale, of the sweet music ef Donizetti. Musical Society will give their second co Brooklyn, on Saturday evening, (to-morrow,) at the Female Academy. Tic programme, it is said, will be very choice, 'e hope it will be well attended. Miss Nontna1t.—This talented artist and sweet warbler gives her farewell concert at the Female Aca- demy, Brooklyn, on Monday evening next. She will be assisted by Strakosch, the great Russian pianist, Mr. Ph. Mayer and Antonio Barili. We hope her concert will be as well attended as her merits, as a vo- calist, deserve, M. Desing Ixenueimen.—This young violinist gave, on inesday evening, a private soiree to the mem- bers of the press, and musical amateurs, which proved to be very successful. He is undoubtedly a rilliant “star,” and his splendid talents will, no doubt, be duly appreciated in thisoountry. He is not et sixteen years old, possesses a very intellectual face and fine figure; and young as he is, he has already attained the point of superiority whieh many perform- ers on this difficult instrument, @ violin, have only reached after long labors. The style of M. Ikel- heimer’s Playing Js corsidered to be that of Vieux. temps, and he excels, in the passages which require force, expression, and . Every body present on the occasion, se d at the strength and ability of his bow, the clearness and power of hi gios cantabile and staccato, and the perfect he performed the most difflcult passug no doubt this young French artist will become & favorite in the concerts in which he will present him- self to the public, and we hope he will soon take an opportunity to be heard. Mr. ‘Timm, who accompanied Ikelbeimer, performed, as usual, his duty with great skill and tast Henri Herz.—We are informed that this distin- guished musical composer and pianist will give a grand concert, in this city, on Friday week. Mr. Charles Burke, the eminent violinist, has ar- rivedin the city, and announces his intention of de- voting his time, to the teaching of the piano forte and violin. His apartments are at 80 Leonard street. City Polidcs, NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS. We have already stated the result of the democratic ballottings for delegates to the congressional districts in the 3d, 4th, and 5th districts, ~ For the 6th district, comprising the six upper wards of this city, we learn that John M. Bradburst, will probably be the hunker, or Cass and Butler candidate, and David Dudley Field, or Willis Hall, the Van Buren candidate, There is a strong opposition among the Taylor men to the nomination of Brooks, of the Express. Aleader of the native Americans, who are about 3,000 strong in that district, and all for Taylor, informs us that not one of that party will vote for Brooks. Besides this the foreigners, the Irish and Germans particularly, of which the whigs have heretofore had from 1,000 to 1600 in their ranks, are dead against Brooks. To these forees should be added a large portion of those whigs who weie oliginally for ‘Taylor, and: who will mot forgvie the editor of tho Express for his long continued abuse of “ Old Zack,” as the “sponta- neous combustion candidate,” ‘Then there is Mr. N. B, Blunt, who takes the stump against the regular wig candidate, but not as one himelf, and threatens to leave no stone unturned to defeat him Ifthe barnburners? vote should not exoeed 3,000 in the district, it is thought that Mr. Brooks cannot be elected, Hamilton Fish carried the district, in 1842, against John McKeon, by about 200 majority ; and Mr. Camp- bell, the native American candidate, with the aid of the whigs, bad even less than that majority, over Ely Moore, in 18:4, In 1846 it was equally close between Monroe and Jackson In the fifth district, comprisi the 8th, 9th, and 14th wards, we learn that the chances for the whig nomination are in favor of John W. Latson, chairman. of the whig executive committee. After many bailets, on Tuerday evening. he received 16 votes of the 25 in the convention. 17 being declared necessary to a choice. ‘The number required was then changed by vote to 15, when the Eighth ward delegates, who were opposed to Latson, withdrew in arage. Many whigs desire the nomination of Samuel G. Raymond, eq. for this district, a highly respectable lawyer, and member of the Inst legisiatare; but the Clay’ cliques who control the convention, object to him, that he came out too early for Taylor. He, therefore, “ can't come in.” ASSEMBLY ~ The whig nominations for Assembly, are not yet completed. In the First District, (Firat and Second ada- TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE, The Latest from Pennsylvania, Haxraspunen, Oct. 19, 1848, ‘The official returns from fifty-three counties, give Johnston a majority of 2,323; ineight other counties there are for Longstreth reported majorities amounting altogether to 2,021, the subtraction of which from Jobnaton’s majorities, leaves him 302 ahead. The fall vete will not vary much from this. The whige will have # majority of nine on joint ballot in the legislature, although it is probable that there will be a tie in the lower house. The Congressional delegation will stand fifteem whige and nine democrats, New Hampshire Demopratic State Conven- ton, Concorn, N. H., Oct. 19, 1848. The democratic State convention met in the State House, at 10 o'clock, this morning, and was organized by appointing the Hon, Chas. G. Atherton, President, and General Pierce and Jared W. Williams, Vice Pre- sidents. The present incumbent declined the nomination for Governor, Speeches were made by Messrs. Atherton, Mudge, Grove, and Gen. Pierce. The latter was greeted en- thusiastieally on his appearance in the convention, He said that when he resigned his seat im the U. 8. Senate, he desired to retire from political office, but not from his party. He looked back with pride upon the history of the democratic party for the last twenty years. During that time the whigs had been continually predicting ruin to the country; but under democratic rule it had enjoyed unexampled pros- perity, The whigs had repudiated all their principles. The principles of @ party constitute a party. The whigs had no platform; therefore were no longer & party. The democrats had not failed any where to avow for what they were contending. They went for Cass and Butler, because they were the impersona- tions of their principles. He believed that no man ‘was permitted to believe that Taylor was not with them. It was idle to ask Taylor’s opinion onany great question at issue. He could demonstrate that Ohio and Pennsylvania was as sure for Cass, as New Hampshire. The pathway before the democratic party was open, and the sky clear and bright. Judge Gove wished to know if Genoral Taylor would appoint Daniel Webster Secretary of State, and dis- member New Hampshire, and give part of fit to the British or some other power? He characterised the dismemberment of Maine, as bad as that of Poland. Samux. Dinsmore, of Keene, was nominated for Governor, on the second ballot. A set of resolutions exprersing their determination to stand by the democratic platform, declaring that a nomination which was not fit to be made, as not fit to be supported. The Trial of Cashier Olcott. Axnany, Oct. 19, 1848. In the case of Theodore Olcott, on trial for embes- sling the funds of the Ogdensburgh Bank, the jury this morning returned into court, after a whole night’s session, and reported themselves seven for acquittal and five for conviction. They were then discharged. Whether there may be a new trial, isan undecided question. The Baltimore Races, Bautimone, Oot. 19, 1848, The racing at the Canton Course, to-day, was very spirited, and called out s great number of our citizens to witness the sport. The announcement that Bos- tona, the conqueror of Fashion, on the Union Course, L. ., om the 7th instant, and Mr. Greene’s black horse, Free Trade, so celebrated as a two-miler, were to contend for the two mile purse, attracted the crowd. Bostona won the race easily, in two straight heats, and in most excellent time, proving herself—by ber great race with Fashion, and the one this after. noon—one of the fleetest nage in the land, at any distance. The first heat was run in 3:46; the second, in 3:47! To-morrow, (Fridsy,) we anticipate another great day. The four mile puree will be run for by the northern favorite, Fashion, Mr. Hare's Lucy Toland, and Mr, Tally’s Tally-Ho. Markets.
