It will be recollected that, during the last few weeks, previous to the recent elections in Preaonsylvania and Ohio, we sent a gentleman at tached to this office, as a wrifer and reporter, for the purpose of exploring those two States, and of ascer- taining, from the best sources, the political situation of both of them, and the probable result of the then approaching election. This mission certainly was attended with great expense, but the :aformation | which our reporter gathered for our columns, and the interest which the promulgation of it gave to | the public, fully compensated us for the trouble | and expense of it. The aggregate result of that mission did not vary much from the aggregate result of the recentelection itself. There may have been some discrepancies in its particular statements in relation to the actual results in Peansyivania and Opera Matrees.—Of late, we see a number of curious criticisms and notices of the Italian troupe, now in Philadelphia, published in several journals in this, as well asin the former city, The charac- ter of these notices appears to be very hostile and bitter towards certain artists who are engaged by Mr. Fry. Benedetti and Truffi are cut upand fried in every possible. way, sometimes in one shape, and sometimes in another. These attacks assume | frequently, a savage character, but are generally couched in the form of criticisms. Benedetti: and Troffi are both allowed to be great artists, but are censured for their temper,behaviour, and careless- time, these criticisms admit that the operas pet” formed by them are the fiaest productions that have ever been seen in Philadelphia. These indications have excited a great deal of curicsity, as to their motives and purposes. Many people think that Mr. Fry has set out with the in- tention of getting rid of several artists already en- gaged, for the purpose of introducing new ones, contracted for in Europe, and expected soon to ar- rive inthiscountry. We leara that the celebrated Bettini, from the Academy of Music, at Paris, and Madame Hayes, an excellent soprano, who has been the prima donna for several years in Italy and Germany, have entered into a contract with Mr. Fry, and may be expected to arrive out here abou the commencement of the new opera season in this city. Now, to some, it seems remarkable why the manager of an opera, desirous that his enter- prise should be successtul, should have such an ostrich stomach for artists of all kinds, in Europe and this country. Mr. Fry has already engaged enough performers for two opera compa- nies, and is said to be making fresh contracts for anew supply from Europe. Itis, therefore, to be presumed that the recent treatment of Madame Pico, and the criticisms contained in the papers in the interest of Mr. Fry, are intended to disgust and remove these artists, and open the way for the new artists coming from Europe. This is | certainly very ingenious, in every’ pomt of view; | almost equal to that desenbed by Machiavelli, the ancient politician, but now, for the first time, Many Italian artists have recently been imported into this country, by managers of all kinds. Sig- nor Rossi and Madame Pico were invited by the old managers, at great personal expense to them- | selves, while there was a contralto still in this | country ;—and now, in the present opera ar- prospect of being thrown out of their situations by | them. Benedetti probably deserves a great deal pects, a restless and interested man; but a more amiable creature than Truffi, or one more deserv- ing, could not be selected, by any manager, in any | part of the worl Aprrats To Narcranizev Cirtzens.—There was a very elaborate appeal to naturalized citizens in the Tribune the other day, in which 1t was made to appear, that the party now in possession of the | American government, had overlooked in the bestowal of offices very materially a number of whose claims for office were as just in respect to number as those of native citizens A few days ago, a similar appeal was made to the naturalized ness, with a variety of other faults.

Some years since it was proposed to widen Anthony street, from Broadway to Orange, and to continue it, ‘at its increased width, through to Chath street This is a most desirable improvement, and would effect two objects. In the first place, It would afford a con- venient and much needed thoroughfare from Broad- | way to Chatham street, and would, at the same time | cause the demolition of a large part of the miserable tenements at present occupied by the disreputable class known as Five Pointers. ‘The buildings on the upper side of Anthony etree; are, a great number of them, wooden fabrics, in astate of dilapidation, The owners will not rebuild, because | they get more rent for the hovels which now occupy | their lots than they could obtain from a more respect- able class of tenants, which would become the lessees of better buildings ; for it isa well known fact, that | from the wretched beings who live in the midst of de- | gradation and crime, a round rent is,in some way oF other, extorted. They know that for them there is no law but the law of condemnation ; and even if there were, they know not how to set to work, to advantage themselves by it. They, therefore, submit to the ex- orbitant taxation of their landlords. and manage, by their wicked wits, to get together the weekly sum | necessary to keep fa shelter over their heads ; for, | should they seek a better home, the very fact of their present residence would stand up before them, an in- surmountable barrier to the accomplishment of their object, and but few of them desire a change of abode. ‘They have, for the mort part, descended threugh the various grades of vice, tillthey are on the very lowest platform, Their position is defined,” and now they even exultin their own degradation. They have be- come 80 accustomed to the atmosphyre of moral pesti- | ence which they breathe that they would not change it for one of virtue and rectitude. Driven by crime, misfortune, wrongs, and neglect, they have sought ‘and found companions in misery, and they accept relief from remorse and remembrance of happier days in the brawling and tumultuous’ scenes which sur- | round them here. They look out occasionally from their dens of infamy and pollution, and evil com- | panionship, and as the passing stranger casts a Jook of commiseration towards them, they either | return the gaze with stupid indifference, or cackle forth their sardonic merriment at the individua; | who is so unfashionably employed as to devte aglance or @ thought to the poo3 wretch who lives in the vicinity of the Five Points. What is it now to the wretches of fallen fortunes. whether the sweetest music, the most skilful performances, the | most eloquent appeals, are made to amuse the minds | and gratify the tastes or ambitions of men who were | once their companions? They are outcasts now, and their emulation isin vice; the sounds of the miserable | rangements, both these and others have a fair | fiddle and the squeaking clarionet, which accompany their midnight orgies, are more congenial to their feel ings than the refined airs of Donizetti or Verai, | though the latter may be discoursed by 8 Bishop, a | Jenny Lind, or @ Biscaccianti. They are sickened with forensic eloquence, for they only remember it as accompanied by the hateful sound of the condemning | sentence which at one time or another has consigned | themto a loathsome prison life. Asto the pulpit, if per- cbance their minds wander to the topic at all, they hastily dirmiea the subject as one which bas ceased to concern them, or look upon the man who proclaims the gospel, ae one who would say.to them, “Stand aside, 1am holier than thou.”? A bad eminence is all they now seek, if they have even the spirit left to seek that. Poor wretches ! they hover around the * Hails of Jus- tice” from habit ; they look in occasionally to gratify their curiosity and learn who of their companions have been cavght within the meshes of to law, andareabout to be eent. as their representative, to the congress of thieves and other felons at Sing Sing ; or who of any | evening were the burletta of “OurMary Ana,’ mouthful, its previous accounts were generally very accurate, and corresponded with the subse- quent result. Notwithstanding the strong chances which many lieve General Taylor's name wil! bear with it, iin the approaching election, on the 7th of Novem- ber, in the doubtful States, yet itis the opmion o many, in some parts of the country, that the elec. votes, both of Pennsylvania and Ohio, are | tor. sll in as much doubt and uncertainty as they were before the recent elections. It is thought by miuuy that the free soil question, if it may operate an favor of General Taylor on this side of the ns, will operate against him on the other side ; and that his advantagesio one geographical division will be balanced in another. Much will, therefore, hang upon the efforts and political maa- agement, the skill and the energy of the two par- | the field, as to the results in November. consequence of this position of thiags, we determined upon a second missioa iote the ‘eat, for the purpose of gathering, and communi- our columns, the very best and most scurate information which can be collected on entieman to be detailed on this mission will immediately set out, and commence the explora- tion as fast as possible, passing through Pennsy!l- wania, Ohio, and the other States, up to the 7th of November.

We are glad to learn that she has probably been re-engaged, and that we shall have the pleature of listening to her for a ‘time longer, before she leaves the city to fulfil other engagements. The grand scene from “ Anna Bolens,"’ was given by M'me Bishop with the best effect, and she slo sung the “Mareeillaise Hymn,” in the scenacalied | “ Barricades.” In consequence of the very un- pleasant weather, there was not so large an attendance ‘as usual, but the very best spirit prevailed.

Boweny TuratRk.—The week closed at the Bowery with the same success which has attended the house for the last month, and Mr. Browne's benefit last even- ing, was afine one. He deserved a good one, for hig performances are truly extraordinary.

The spectacle of “ Cherry and Fair Star,”’ and the ferce ot “ Did you ever send your wife to Harlem,” made up the bitl last evening.
