This society appears to be in complishing a great deal of good in this commu- nity, and throughout the country. Our city continues very healthy, there having been but three hundred and forty-eight fatal cases of disease during the week ending las: Saturday, of which 42 were inflammations, 28 consumption, 22 various fevers, 22 convulsions, 31 dysentery, 16 diarrhcea, 20 dropsy, 20 marasmus, and 12 smal! pox. The other classes of disease ranged from one to ten. Of those who died, one hundred and thirty-eight were adu'te, and two hundred and ten were children.

These are strong arguments in favor of a separa- | tion frem the northern section, and the establish- | ment ef a distinct territorial government in the southern counties. The extert ef tho surface of | Califorvia is an iceuperabie impediment to its con- tinuance under a single State government. From south to north, the State extends through ten de- | grees of latitude. A straight line castward from its | southern extremity at San Diego, would strike | through the heart of Georgia; while a similar line from ite northern boundary, eastward to the Atlan- j tle, would run the chain gang into Cape Cod. Ca- | lifornia, therefore, embraces all the diversities of | ate that exist between Massachusetts and Geor- | gia, and even greater extremes. The products of j the northern section are thore of the middle At- | lantie States, the general tone of the Pacific coas: | being considerably milder than the Atlaatic sea- | board; but the southern counties produce vrapes, | olives, tobacco, and are no doubt suseeptible of rice | The gold however, monopolises the northern popuiation, while the comparatively thialy populated counties | | the Green Isle, or not. an “Aceldama”—a ficld of blood—desolated in | turns by the destroying angel of famine and by the red right hand of internecine war, and that has patriot sons to rend her chains. | The Journal of Commerce was the first nows- | paper to introduce the sectarian element among the people; and while, for considerations of “ filthy | lucre,” it has abandoned abolition, it still adheras to the other treason, and continues to sow the seeds | of religious “hatred, malice, envy, and all un- | charitableness,” which, if encouraged and not | promptly tramp!ed down by public opinion, would shoct up intoa crop of the most noxious weeds, | | choking the growth of all that is good and fair in the lend. It is the :ealizution of the ancient Sible of sowing dragon’s teeth, to epring up armed men. | In Saturday’s number of our amiable contempora- ry, we find an elaborate attack upon the Catholic | religion—the mission of two unoffendiag priests to | this country to collect funds in aid of a Catholic | | university in Ireland, being made the pretext for the wicked, calumuious article. Passing over the | abuse of Catholic priests and bishops, we come to | the point whether there is s Catholic university in | Ireland. The statement in the address of the com- mittee to their brethren in America, signed by cight prelates—that “it isa melancholy fact that ij country such as Ireland, in which the great mejority of the people is devotedly Catholic, there is no Catholic univertity”—the writer ia the Jour- nal cf Commerce brands aa * unblushing mendaci- ty, unparalleled” —as an ‘unprecedented attempt to gull the Roman Catholic portion of our community.” One would thick that in these days of rapid steam communication——bringing Ireland within ten or twelve days of ¢' try—there can be no difficulty no ace: the fact whether a Catholic university exists in The article in the Jowr- | nal of Commerce says it does. History, the Englith and Irish newspapers without excep tion, every Irishman we have ever met—Protestant or Catholis—every American, aad every wan of avy other nation that has travelled in Ireland, ali sgree in soying that there is no Catholic usiversi- ty in that country. We have been there ou: within a few years, and we could not discover a trace of such an institution. The «uestioa, then, | comes, whether the American public will believe the Scribe and Pherisee in the Journal of Commerce, or the overwhelming test mony against him. The idea of eight prelates, in this age of the world, signing their names to a document, knowing it would be published, that a certain institu: | tion bad no existence, while it was palpable to the | eenses of all, isan absurdity, we should think, too gross even for the credenze of the most stupid rea growing, aad shows that that port will yet be | of the south are occupied by farmers, graziers, and | ders of the Journal of Commerce, and it shows how one of Cepote for the reception of goods kor It is understoo 4 that the President will give a grand dinner tok on the arrival of tbe latter in Washington, Austrian Minister will be invited and it is also intimated that the | How singalar * and yet bow pleasing «@ coincidence it would be, if the noble foo a of the Emperor Fraz hands in the festive halls of repud' d the aceredited representative j t and | ie Joreph should meet ebel an dealers in cattle, horsce, and mules. It is impossi- ble that atertitory so extensive, and comprehending | intereste so diverse and distinet, can much | longer remain under the juriedietion of one State government. The movement for a division will | doubtless be prosecuted till the object is ascom- lished At that peint, an interesting piece of work will be required of Congress.

Hut this writer undertakes to prove that is # Catholic university in Ireland. He enye: “ At no great distance from Dublin, stauds the large and flourishing College of Maynooth, « purely ltoman Catholic inetitution.” And this be calls a uniter- tity, and accuses the Catholic prelates of Ireland of & suppressio vert, for not mentioping the fact of the existence of Maynooth College.

The description given of it by our musical reporter, in Sunday’s Herat, is exceedingly funny. At Jaell’s concert, on | Saturday evening, at Tripler Hall, at which the whole force of the Italian Opera troupe were pre- sent, the applause seems to have ministered as much to the amusement of the audience as the con- cert itself. It not only ceased to have any mean- ing, ard becamea farce, but indicated, when it was loudest and most protracted, the very opposite of what it is usually intended to express. When any- thing was particularly bad, then the clagueurs commenced applaudng with all their might, to cover the failure, and to warp the natural judgment of the audience, who are always right when left to themeelves. Thug, it happened that the very worst vocal performances of tho evening were encorod oud placed on the same leve' with the best, and right and wrong were completely confounded. This attempt, however, to bolster up broken- down artists, and palm off their harsh, screaming notes 28 music, will not do in the present day. The public ear has become accustomed to musical ta- Jeat of the highest order, for the last two or three years, in this city, and a correct taste has thus been formed, that cannot with impunity be set at defiance, or even despised. Miserable artists will no longer pass muster, and the mavager who trusts to them will be woful'y disappointed. ‘Lhe people mutt have the genuine article, else they will not pay for it. But thie clagueur system is applied to good as well ss to bad and indifferent artlats. It is used to exalt these that can do very well without it, at the expense Of others who are at least equally gifted, and from whom the applause is withheld, in order to give the public, and perhaps the artists themselves, the impression of ioferiority. This is unfair; and the audience ought to set it right whenever they witness it, as they did last night. During the last fortnight this system has been cerried on in the Astor Place Opers House, under the direction of the oyster house critics, There has been an evident disposition to applaud Badiali at the eaponse of Bettiai and Stefanone, whoare, at least, as good artists in their line as he is in his. He posseses high merits as 2 vocalist ; | but the attempt of an organized band of clagueurs to givo him an importance and a position beyond what is frirly due to bim, will do him a serious injury with the public, and particularly with judges of music; for, unfortunately, the clagueurs sometimes give the applause in the wrong place, and people stare in astonishment, not kaowing what it is all about. We were surprised, at first, at the excessive ap- plaure given on several occasions, where there was nothing to call for or justify it; but we thought it might possibly be the resul: of an erroneous judgment, started by a few, and followed by the ignorant, as sheep follow abeli-wether. But the systematic manner in which the practice was pur sued night after night, and especially oa Friday evening last—when the beautiful opera of “ Maria di Roban” was represented—convinced us that we were too charitable in the first opinion we had formed, end that the misplaced plandits wore not | the spontaneous expression of the feclings of aay part of the audience. We trust there will be no more of this humbug, and that those who pay to see an opera will be left to form and to express their own unbiassed judgment of the morits of the artists.

Laet evening, the lyric tragedy of “ Maria di Rohan,” compored by Donizetti, was repeated at the Astor Place Opera House, and pasced off with great éclat. It is one of thoee cperas that, as a dramatic composition, is better adapted tothe stage than the closet, and that takes the person who has read it by surprise, when he sees it for the first time represented. In this respect it is like Bul- wer’s play of the “ Lady of Lyons.” It abounds with ac- tionand incident. Thore are no long speeches, The eoenes are all short, rapid and animated. The melodies ere nuverous and beautiful, and altogether it is a de- lightfulopera, Just as we anticipated in our notice of Friday evening's performance, its sucess on that evening brought an overflowing house last night. There was scarcely @ standing spot left in the passages. An attempt was made et first to put the clagueur sys tem into operation, but it failed. The fulness of the house, and the enthusiasm of the audiences in applaud ing what was really meritorious, “ choked off the oyster house critice,end they did not renew theic convulsive efforts forthe remainder of the evezing. Perhaps the Lotice in Sunday's innarn may have bed soue little ef- fect in hastening that consummation. A good joke oc- curred at the «nd of the fourth scene of (he second act, in which Bettini and Badiali appeared—one as the Count of Chalais, ond the other as the Dake of Chevreuse. Bet. tini had rather more to do in that svene than Badiali, aud performed his part rather better. At the close, very warm epplause was given, which Badiali, after leav- ing the stage and returning, appropriated entirely to himself, with the utmort ecmplacency, In the some Way in the duets and trios, in which Bettini aad Bteffancie rang 2s well, and even Detter, than he did, he evidently rLewcd, when applause wag given, that he considered it War all intended for him. He might bave been easily convinecd cf the coaizery, by the hearty and enthusi: applause given to Bettini and Steffa- none when they sang solos. In this opera, the siager who take the rile of the Duke of Chevreuse has a great ad- vantage, for the best portions of the music and the words are assigned to him, and the sympathies of the audience aye oil with him, because he is the representative of an injured. noble, high mindcd man, whose confiding fiien:!- ehip was betrayed. In such cases, it often happens that it ip the sentiment and the character that the audience applaud, ard pot the execution cr the performer. The first eria, “Quando il cc which occurs in the tecord scene, is a beautiful song, and was admirabiz tendered by Bettini.
