A very amusing incident occurred a day or two ince at Albany, in v hich seme members of our City Corporation figured rather ridiculously. Itis known to our readers that the Common Council, which has presided over the destinies of New York since the month of May last, and under whose admin- istration we have seen gross mismanagement in every department of the municipal government, is composed of gentlemen who have a peculiar pen- chant for junketing, and for making visits to differ- ent cities, on the specious excuse of promoting the intereets of their constituents. Thus a portion of them proceeded to Boston, where they were lib- erally entertained by the Common Couvcil of that city, but what was the precise business which called them thither neither they nor any one else can very distinctly tell. It 1s to be presumed, however, that it was not of a very urgent nature, as their tay was limited to a very short time. It may be ‘that the business was despatched, and having nothing further to attend to 1n the “City of Notions,” they directed their steps to Gotham again, for the purpose of attending to their corpo- Yation duties. This we say, may have been the case, although it 18 intunated in some quarters —doubtless by some evil disposed individuala— that the absence of a good supply of generous wine at the banquet given te them there, and the tee- total character of all the civilities which were ex- tended to them in the capital of New England, was the reason why our municipal fathers deprived our Bosten friends of their company so soon. After this tp a committee of our city fathers went to Washington for the ostensible pur- pose of lobbying for the passage of the bill establishing a branch of the Mint in this city, althovgh we hed representatives there whose especial duty 1t was to attend to that and other matters connected with the interests of this region of the country. This was a grand junketing. They were entertained by Mayor Seaton and the Corporation of Washington in a sumptuous man- ner. Wine was poured out without stint, and our city fathers were delighted with the entertain- meats which they received, to say nothing of the compliments. They met there jolly good fellows —none of your Boston teetotallers, but men who drank their wine and smacked their lips in true aldermanic style. The New York member toasted ard complimented the Washington mem- bers, and were toasted in turn. They had aglo- ious time, but what of the Mint bill? Was that passed? No, notwithstanding all the well di- rected efforts of our city sages, it was leftover till the next seesion of Congress; but the city fa- thers had a fine time, ana that is satistaction enough. Their time was not lost entirely, for they eat and drank to their hearts’ content, and, by way ot winding up, intimated to the Common Council that if they would just come to New York, maybe they would not show them the institutions, and induct them into the way in which we do things 1n the empire city. It might be supposed that our city fathers would have been satisfied with their junketing and ca- rousing at the expense of their constituents, and that they would, forthe brief remainder of their terms of office, devote themselves to the cleaning of the etreete, and other matters connected with the city government. Butthey were not, and now we approach the melancholy portion of our story. Matters did not, im the opinion of our city fathers go on well in the Legislature at Albany. ‘The members ot that body, many of them, poor fellows, being unsophisticated country farmers, ard rather verdant, as our city sages thought, as to the wey of transacting business, they, ufter mature Celiberation, arrived at the conclusion ghat they would send a committee of their body among them to point out their duties and instruct them in performing them. The committee, big with importance, and bending under the weight of the great responsibility which they imagined ‘was pressing upon th=m, started off to the capitol and went to work in the performance of their mission. Various hints were given to the mem- bers of both Houses, and many suggestions hinted, that such end such measures would be of benefit, and thet others would have a contrary effect. Now how was this triendly and benevolent advice received? Nay, how were the pure-minded and honest advisers themselves treated? Why, they were treated most ecandalously, Their advice ‘was thrown in their teeth, and they were politely but sternly informed that they were impertinent interme cdlers with other persons’ business, and that they bad better go back and attend to their streets, which were knee-deep with mud and filth of a winter's gathering, and give their con- stituents something of a return for their enormous assessments, Here was a pretty piece of impudence, to be sure—this was a pretty situation for the aldermenic tathers of New York to be placed im—actually sent about their business with their thumbs in their mouths. What was to be done in the matter? In what way was the wounded vanity of the fathers to be heuled? Quick as thought a resolve—a mighty resolve was made. The Legislature had insulted New York in the persons of their Corporation Committee, and they must be punished—annvhilated {rom the face of the enrth—utterly destroyed. Accordingly our famous committee took a drink all around, Tevurned to the city in a much faster manner than they left it, and in solemn conclave laid their Grievances before their associates. Resolutions, meanae ig and ete were immediately and janimously passed, the L-gislature " lished, the insult to the city wi vallsally pon out, and the eun rose the next day as usual, We cannot sympathise with the Members whose vanity was hurt on this Occasion. Nay, we can- not help thinking that they were served right, ‘We hope the treatment which they received will teach them to stay athome, and mind their own affairs, and not be running about trom city to city, juvketing, carousing, and putting in their oar where it is not needed. Pronapix Revoiution in Ca ‘apa.—If the news" papers in Canada are to be believed, or if any de. pendence can be placed oa the declaration of the different political leaders of either fection there, there 1s every probability of a respectable attempt being made at revolution during the approaching eummer, or next fall. The violence of the two parties towards each other is increasing every day. This violence takes a character and inten- sity from that which generally separates men of the same race, but entertaining opposite political views. It is a quarrel of two races, as well as one of a different political opinion. The Anglo-Saxon race of upper Canada, heretofore considered the royalists, par excellence, are now in the minority in the colonial government, while the old French race of Lower Canada, who are the more numerous, possess the control of public affairs in both the Canadas, and are by no means slow in giving cause to the Anglo-Saxons to grumble. In the conflict between the two races, heightened and increased by political differences, and the possession of the spoils by one party, we should not be surprised to see the connection between Canada and the Bri- tish government rudely shaken, if not broken to pieces, before the termination of another year. Our government, it seems, has taken preper mea- suresto prevent any interference by, and to en- force the neutrality of ourcitizens. In fact, on this side of the line we have nothing to do but stand still and wait for the tree to be shaken, end scat- terthe fruit to those who may come after. If the Canadians do not get up a respectable revolution in less than nine months, we shall consider them a noisy, empty set of fellows, who deserve no encour- agement at all trom this side of the border. Fasnronanté Movements.—The brilliant open- ing ot the spring begs to throw splendor upon the mevements of fashionable society in this great city. Since the inauguration of General Taylor, crowds have been flocking te our city and to our hotels. Everywhere the avenues of fashion display the highest gaiety of uressand ap- pearance. Our hotels are full. The Irving House, under the splendid management of Mr. Howard, is considered the leading hotel of the season in this latitude. The North River 1s now open, the railroads are crowded with passengers, and every- thing betokens one of the gayest and most splendid spring seacons which this metropolis has ever ex- perienced. The influx of fashionable travel even begins to show itself in Broadway, among the dry goods stores ard the fashionable muilliners, and particu- larly every evening at the theatres and concerts. The greatest pressure continues to be made tohear Mrs. Butler’s readings. Every night or morning on which she is announced, the crowd isimmense, and hnndreds are obliged to leave, and wait for another opportunity. The Broadway and Bowery are full every night—the other theatres are inthe gtme position; even the re-opening of the Opera by the beautiful Borghese, and that fine tenor, Corelli, presents a brilliant scene, in spite of the past history of thet unfortunate house. Corelli, the new tenor, is decidedly the best tenor and artist we have heard in this city since the time of old Garcia or Montresor. The weather, also, is beautiful about these days, and the dustin Broad- way exquisitely fine. There 1s every appearance, therefore, that the epring season in the fashionable world will pass off with great éclat. General Taylor on DvgLLine.—According to some of the anecdotes published respecting the pe- culiar character of General Taylor, it appears that he has a most unquesticnable horror of duelling and duellers of all kinds. His refusal to restore the midshipmen to their position, who had recently been engaged in duelling, brings out this point of his moral character in the broadest light. If duel- ling and duellers are so much disliked by General Taylor that he refused to restore two young men to ihe navy, who had been engaged in affairs of that kind, how 18 it pogsible that he can make any appointment to any office, either foreign or do- mestic, ef persons who have been engaged in such aflairs in former years? Some of the strong appli- cants for foreign missions and domestic berths, according to the lists published in the newspapers, have heretofore been connected with those affairs of honor, end on some occasions in a very con- Spicuous way. If the accounts furnished of the Very Late from the Pacl{ic—Arrival of the Steamship Oregon at Panama—News from Chagres, de. Our advices from Paname are of the 28th, San Blas of the 14th, and Mazatlan of the Ist ult. Those from Panama reached this city yesterday, in the following telegraphic deepatch :-- New Onveans, March 19, 1819, The steamer Oregon arrived at Panama, onthe 23:n of February. The Oregon is the second of Messrs. Howlana & Aspinwali’s Pacific mail steamers, She lett here in December; touched at Rio de Janeiro, was detained there several days; went through the Straits; touched at Valparaiso, Callao and Payta; and reached Panama on the 28th ult. This places her on a par, in speed, with her mate, the splendid steamer California. She is commanded by Capt. Pearson, and immediately takes her place in the line, to run between Panama and San Francisco. The accounts from San Blas state that the mail steamship Califorma had arrived at that place. The following is an extract ef a letter to Wm. H. Aspinwall, Esq., trom Capt. Cleveland Forbes, who left New York in eommand of the Cali- fornia. He hasbeen obliged, 1: will be recollected, to surrender his command from ill health, but atill remains on board, to give such assistance as he may be able :— Saw Bras, Mexico, Feb, 14, 1849, It gives me pleasure to inform you of our safe arrival at this place, all well. Captain Marshall wrote youfrom Acapulco, which, no doubt, you will bave received ere this reaches you. Our ship is well crowded, and some find fault; but [ leave Captain Marshall to inform you of the comforts or discomforts of those on board, and only add things are much more comfortable than | expected, under the circumstances, as it is impossible to please all, crowded as they are. The engine continues to work well; but as we are near the gold regions, I can plainly cee dissatisfaction inthe fire and etokers’ department. I do not far hewever. but that wecan manage very well, previded our engineers remain. of which I have no doubt. My health js very poor, but I think as I proseed North, [ feel better, and hope the voyage may restore me. There are a great many people here and at Mazat- lan, waiting for am opportunity to get to California; but our ebip cannot accommodate one more, and they are radly dirappointed. We willeail in » few hours for Mazatlan. It appears by the intelligence from Mazatlan, {hat tranquillity had been completely re-establish- ed. Some dissatisfaction had been excited among the inhabitants, by an attempt to introduce copper money. Additionally to the above, we take the following from the New Orleans Crescent, of the 12th inst.: The echr. W. II. Hazzard, Capt. Saunders, arri- ved last evening, from Chagres, having left that port onthe 26th uit. We learn {from Captain 3. that the Britich mail steamer sailed from Chagres on the 25th; the brig Pertect arrived from this port on the 26th. The same gentleman reports about three hundred passengers at Panama, and one ship, name unknown, was to leave Panama about the Ist instant, and one ship was fitting up also for passengers, both bound for San Francisco.— There had been no later arrivals from the El Do- rado. Flour was selling at Panama at $40 per barrel. The following vessels were at Chagres when the Hazzard left :—Bark Margaretta, brigs Union and Eudora, and echr. Wm. Thompson. ARRIVAL oF THs Sisameniy SourueRNeR —The steamship Southerner, Capt. Berry, arrived yester- day morning from Charieston. We are obliged to Capt. B. for late papers. Evrorean News.—-We may expect to receive two weeks later intelligence from Europe to-mor- Tow or next day. Theatrical and Musical. Bowsry Turatre.—The comedy of the “Fast Man” was repeated last evening, before a vory well attended house, and passed off with the same éclat which at- tended its reeeption on Monday evening. J.H. Hall’s acting, as Ned, is capital, and Winans, as Skylark, his servant, “like master like man,” was much applauded; and Mr. Gilbert in the dignified Sir Hildebrand, act- ed with his usual discrimination. The pie: received with muoh favor by the Bowery audi: The equestrian drama of “Eagle Eye” was next pl Though the story of thie piece porse:ses considera! terest, and the acting and equestrianism im it are most excellent, still the drama is one of thet styl the bringing out of this piece, and no ger could do more than be hss done in mavagemert ofthe extensive scenery usedin “£: Eye.’? He really deserves much praise for his succer: ful efforts on this occasion. As actor, too, by his excellent sak ee of the part of the half-br d Le Beau, he is much fag a Mr. Duff,as thi lef, plays wel:. Mr. D.is a most talented special half-breed Indian girl. Of Mr. Hall and his ste feelings entertained by General Taylor towards duellers, are true, then those persons have no chance of receiving any appointment, of any 1m- portance, under the present adminstration, Tue Nomination anp Resecrion or Mar. McGavenry.—The rejection by the Senate of Mr. McGaughey, recently nominated as Governor for the new territory of Mineseta, has created a good deal of remark in political circles. In our opin- ion, the nommmation 18 a matter of greater curiosi- ty than the rejection. That distinguished gentle- man, it seems, made himself known in the last Congress, by opposing appropriations to carry on the Mexican war. He was one of the emall mi. nority who considered the Mexicans right, and the Americans wrong, and voted accordingly. How evch a man came to be nominated by the ad- ministration, under the presidency of Gen. Taylor, 1s a matter of greater curiosity than his rejection by aeensible Senate. We should like to see this mystery investigated and unfolded. It 1s probable that the rejected nominee has some remote con- tingency in his favor, connected, in particular for- qwne, with Mr. Ewing, of Ohio; but the mystery of such « nomination should certainly be investi- gated. ENLARGEMENT or THE BaTrery —Ii appears by the report of the committee of the Corporation, that the enlagement of the Battery would cost nearly four hundied thousazd dollars, and they seem to think that this would be a great addition to the usual expenditures which are saddled on this unfortunate city. No such thing. Whatisa half a million or a millon of dollars? We want the Battery enlarged; we want stone docks; we want the expenditures to reach ten,twelve, fifteen, or twenty mill oas of dollars per annum. For twenty years past we have been trying to cut down the city expenses, but finding it of no use we have determined to go on the other tack, and advocate the greatest outlay possible, and the most extravi gant improvements imaginable. Any party that wiil promise to increase the expenditures of the city to double the present amount shall have our suppert. Fematr Emigration To Catirorxia. — What has become of the movement started by the re- spectable matron of a large female emigration to California? Itistime that euch a measure was carried out, before the population of that golden region eat themselves up, become cannibals, and Joore all the characteristics of civilization. At present, probably, there are ninety males to ten females—an ind:cation that it 18 absolutely impos- sible to carry on civilized soc:ety in that region for any length or time with such a disparity be- tween the sexes. A few solitary females, every now and then, are going there to join their hua- bands; but what are they among so many savages? ArRIvAL OF THE Packet Snip Devonsumme— Snoxtr Passace.—This fine packet ship, com- manded by Capt. H. R. Hovey, arrived at this port yesterday, from London and Portsmouth. The 8 bave already spoken Lala We refer to our list of amusements for this evening's bill. Baoapwar Txeatee.—“Rory O'More” was per- formed last evening at this theatre, with “Don Cwsar de Bazan;”’ the first, a piece not exactly of the first or- der, or of the most classical taste, The house, how- ever, was filled to its utmost capacity, notwithstand- ing the inclemency of the weather. Mr. Collins, as aay "More, does not, perh quite so much as be does in other charucters.

Th w farce of “ Who Speaks First?” isa very funny affair, and, in the hands of Messrs. Hield, Herbert, and Tilton, the beautiful Mrs, Isherwood, and Miss Miles, a vast deal of fun was afforded the audien They get up those little farces very neatly at the National. “Mose in Californis,” and “Tom and Jemmy,”’ were the next pieces. The incidents in these pieces are so well known that we need soaroely silade to them. In “ Mose in California,” the energetic D’hoy in represented in better colors, we think, than in any other of the local pieces in whioh he figures. When does get into “a muss’ in California, he has real cause fot it, and docs not appear so much of a rowdy as Mose, in rome of his scenes, certainly does. for “Tom and Jemmy,” we recommend all who are at all gi to “ eparring exhibitions’? to eee this bur- leeque; it will amuse them mightily, It is @ good- homored hit at the extre: to which the public ex- citement, on scme topics, Is occasionally carried.

Bunton’s Tueatne.—There was a full attendance at Burton's last evening, to witness the plays of “ Dom- bey & Son,” and“ Paul Pry.” The first piece has been so often playedat this house, that the perrons cast in itare perfectly at home in their parte, and oh ow Skewton, Mrs. Knight as Edith, aod in fac! reveral allotted tarks, played with their usual the conclasion of the first play, # ve was introduced, ar an Interlude, called * La jo gonere,”’ in which Miss Walters, M.

Granp Mvsioan Festivat.— Last evening this splen- did demonstration in aid of the Hebrew Benevolent Society, k place at the Taberpaole, beforea crowded audience, Charity is the companion of virtue; it is the language of the soul—the means whereby the good communicete thelr sympathies with human sufferings It is the indication of an exalted state of moral being — the agency by which the creature is brought into clorer communion with the Creater.

We are not of these; we think that the end should be sanctified by the means; thie is more in consonance with moral philoropby— pot the vicious philosephy of the present day, which js of so flexible a character that it will become the apologist for well contrived delin- A more sporopriate mode of promoting the ve quencies. interests of this meritorious society could not been selected; music is a acience as noble as it is a ciept, It was by it that the primitive Christians de- clared the praises of God; and to say any thing now in its praise, would be as euperogetory as to pronounce s bighly-wrought penegyric upon the works of Homer end Virett The festival opened with the overture “Midsummer Night’s Dream,’’ the composition of that great master, Mendelssohn. the immortal author of thore grand wurieal epics, St. Paul, and Elijah. Some ofthe paseages in this overture are exquisitely fine, and were brilliantly executed. The grand duet on the piano and violin on themes from the opera of “Fra Diavolo,” by Miss Adele avd Mr. Charles Hohnetock, was a very scientific performance, and called forth loud applause. Signorina Borghese was most deserved- ly encored in @ rondo Ddrill’ante, and Signor ‘Taffene!l! was mort enthusiastically applauded, and encored alto. Tho “ Bird Canzonette” on the pia by Miss Adele Hohnetock, was eet performan and afforded much delight to the audience; while the duo by Signori Corelli and Novelli, from the compo: tions of Donizetti, imparted a delightful variety to t! intelectual splendor of the entertainments. Whi the overture was being played, we called to mind the great, but unarsuming man from whose rich concep- tion it had emanated, and who was cuteff in prime of mavhord. and in tbe midst of hia high and well- merited profersional benot nd we were forcibly re- minded of the emphatic language of Byron— “My eoul fe dark; etring the harp while I can brook to hear, And let thy fin fling ite melting murmurs in my car.” The performers, both vocal and instrumental, did themeelves great credit. Their efforts were most suc- ful, and worthy of the occasion. It is very conso- latory to eee 40 large an assembly collected together Ineo good a cauce, and we are sure that all who had contributed to the funds of this retired to their hemes with t! approving conscience never fai Tanexnacte.—This evening, Mr. Dempster, the po- pular and pleasing ballad-singer, will give one of his excellent entertainments at the Tabernacle. Among the various plaintive and thrilling ballade selected for the occasion are “Jobn Anderson, my jo,” “A Home in the Heart,”’ “ Lament of the Irish Emigrant,” “The Death of Warren,” and many other gems, whioh his atrons have so often heard with plessure and delight. ir. Dempster has asweet tenor voice, which he uses with gteatest vocal ability. His style and man- ire prepossessing, and w! er he has given his ertainments the audiences have been select, and bis reception the most enthuriastic. We hope his hi} ing. will be as liberally patronised as & vooallat danarva. Concert oy tHE younG Luigt Evena ann wis BrotneR.—There two young and talented artist lately arrived from the clarrical and sunny shores o! Italy, will give a great concert at the Apollo rooms on plait d next, the 24thinst. The French critics speak very highly of these youthful performers, and, by all ecconuts, they are perfect prodigies. Luigi, the elder of the twe, is aged 15 years only, and performs in master- ly etyle on the violin; hie brother is but eight years, and plays with a wonderful touch upon the piano. We have no doubt but that their concert, on Saturday, will be crowded by the curious, the di/etianti,and ad- mirers of early and youthful genius of so extraordinary acharacter. Cunisty’s Minstrets.—The programme of these fa- vorito minstrels’ concerts are as full of good things as a Chrietwas pudding ought to be of plums. They lately revived their famous burlesque, called th a bellcgiaps, a most laughable affair, and, as in addition to this burleeque, they give their voyage musicale, with ell ite accompaniments, and a long list of admirable Ethicpian music, no one can fail to be pleased by visit to their concert.

Hardy. They were well supported by the members of the company who st in the piece. It fe announced that to night“Macbeth,” alter- ed to suit the talents of Messrs, Burton and Brougham will be presented. American Cincus,—The Rivers family, now engazed at thie fine reeort, are nightly attracting numereus andiences.

A resolution was adopted to print two thousand copies of the decision of the Supreme Court in relation to emigrant passengers; zed another to print two thousand copies of Mr. Owen’e geological report. The death of the Hon. Mr. Dickinson, a member of the late House of Representatives from Ohio, was then announced. In Executive seesion a nomination was understood to have been received for Governor of Minesota, but the name of the neminee has not transpired. Our adviees from Montreal are that the bill ma- king compensation to those who suflered loss of property im the recent rebellion, has passed the up- per house of the Canadian Parliament. The ma- jority on its final passage was small ; and, as anti- cipated, the excitement among its opponents was great, and will unquestionably increase, should it re- ceive the sanction of the Governor General. What- ever may be his action in the matter, the subject cannot fail to be a disturbing one in the province. At present the spint of discontent has shown it- self cnly inthe bitter crimination and recrimina- tion of the parties. But little business was perfected in the Le- gislature. In the Senate, remonstrances were presented against the proposed pilot law. The amount of insurance in certain districts of New York and Brooklyn, by the Buffalo Fire and Ma- rine Insurance Company, was reported by the agency to be $221,000. A bill making an appro- priation of $35,000 to the Sing Sing prison, came under debate. A proposition was made by Mr. Cornwell to have a portion of ‘the State farm at- tached to the prison, sold, on the ground that it did not yield an income to the State of more t’ an two per cent; but as it appeared to be the most lucra- tive branch of the establishment, the proposition was rejected, and the bill passed to a third reading. A bill was also passed to a third reading for the is suing of proposals for printing and binding the Brodhead papers. The Superior Court bill was finally passed; as was that for altering the map of Brooklyn.
