New York, Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1852. Summary of News. Tho United States Senate yesterdey took up the joint resolutions offered by Mr. Clarke, of Rhode Island, on the 19th ult., which declare the determi- Ration of this governmont to adhere to the princi- ples of non-intervention in tho affairs of forcign eountries, as laid down by Washington in his fare- ‘woll addros#, and endorsed by Jefferson and tho va- rious other eminent statesmen of this republic. Mr. Clarke supported his measure, in a plain, old- fashioned, common sense speech, which will moet with the approbation of all conservative men, without distinction of party. It will be recollected that on tho day following the introduction of Mr. C.’s resolutions, Mosers. Cass and Soward each @ave notice of their intention to offer substitutes. The proposition of the former gentleman is, that ‘‘this country cannot see, without deep eoncern, the violation of the principles of non- intervention,” &o.; but the resolutions of our great New York freesciler go further, and declare that “the interference of Russia in the affairs of Hun- gry was a wanton and tyrannical infraction of the Jaws of vations, and tho United States will not hereafter be indifferent to similar asts of injustice, @ppression, and usurpation, wherever or whenever they occur.” The question of our national policy is likely to occupy the attention of the Senate for weveral days. Mr. Clay will probably give his views upon the subject, as well as the numerous @andidates for the Prosidency, and other eminent men in Congress. We shall shortly be enlightenod as to the foreign policy of the different aspirants for tho Chief Magistrasy. Mr. Casa has the floor for to-day. Considerable debate occurred in the House of Representatives yesterday, on a resolution, which was finally adopted, asking for information relative to the contracts with the navy for building mail steamships to ply between this city and various ports in Europe, and elsewhere. This infor- mation is wanted, in consequence of the con- tinual applications to Congress for the eatablisb- ment of new lines, etc. While upon the sub- ject of steamers, we may as weil direct attention tethe memorial in another column, addrossed to Congress, for aid to the New York and Havre line. The proprictors of tho Collins line-have also applied for relief from the government. Both these lincs of steamships have been established nd kept up at great expense, and it is foared that maless relief be afforded, it will be necessary te withdraw them altogether from the service in which they are now employed. This would be an almost irremediable evil, not only to the traveling public and the country at large, but because these ‘vosscls could be converted, in a very short time, into mcn-of-war, and thereby prove valuable aux: Gliaries to the navy. Before granting appropria- tions for the construction of steamors to ply on new Hines, it would be far bet‘er for Congress to afford the necessary means of keeping up the present ines, especially the Collins and Havre vossels, which are an honor to the nation. A proposition was yesterday made in tho House to instruct the Committee of Ways and Means to report a bill; modifying, the t Of specific for ad valorem dutios, wherever prac ticae ble. The measure was voted down, by yons 60 mays 108. Ac this was m t que fs considered that the tar during the present session From Albany we learn tha’ the Senate Commit- tee, to whom the subject was referred, reported tha the proposed bill to incorporate the Irish and Amo gican Steamship Company would be unoo tional, and that the o of the be obtained by gencral law. But little businoss was dono in the Senate. The Assembly took up the bill to transfer the school moneys in the Manhattan Bank of this city. On coming to a vote, no quo gum was found, and the body was compelled to ad- iff, by a cubstitution ed as a tee will not be disturbed ion, it astita- joants mus journ Koreuth arr Circinnati, yesterday, aftor having been b demonstrations of joy from the multitud ping and who con- | undred old d at every st ne t Having murkets gnake speeches The medal, in honor of th wns presented to the great or: descr), ‘tion of the medal will b The oe editors of Texas will ne fo loarn t.'at the bill providing fo: Of the debte oy the late republic, had boon engrossed fm the Logislatur?

The Congressional Printing. wrangting over the everlasting subject of the pub- lie printing. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Dety has introduced a proposition for the establish- ment of a National Buroau of Printing, which wo publish at length in our columns to-day. It is at least a beginning in a great measure of reform. Mr. Smart has also introduced « smart proposition, as a substitute for the presont bungling contract sys- tem. Inthe Senate and in the House, a resola- tion has been offered from the Committco on Printing, authorizing the committee to contract with the publishers of the Union newspaper, upon what they may consider to be ‘reasonable terms,” for the printing of the returns of the census of 1850. This will be ajob of $200,000 profit, more or less. It appears, also, thatthe Mepublic, by a sort of undorstanding between the parties, is to come in for a share of the profits. Another plan has been proposed by the Southern Press, anxious also to have a finger in the pie, which is, to make a fair ance. The Pacific is now due here, with four days’ later intelligence. Our readers will find in another page of this day’s | apor @ curious pronunciamento from Alfred Carson, the Chief Engineer of the city. It isa | most extraordinary document, and will doubtioss | attract considerable attention. | The Webster Movement for the Presl. | dency. | ‘The friends of Mr. Webster in this metropolis, after a great deal of consultation, have at length | plucked up courage to take the field and to show their hands and their voices, and we hope their | pockets also, in favor of a positive movement, hav- | ing for its object the elevation of Mr. Webster to the Presidency of the United States. There has been a groat deal of backing and filling, of fiddling and diddling, in relation to this subject, among those calling thomsolves the friends of Mr. Webster; but | hitherto they have exhibited littlo courage and less tact in advancing his cause. They are now deter- Mined to move on the fourth of March, and we find in the Wall street organ attached to his cause, the following call for a public meeting on the fourth of March next, at some such place as may be desig- nated hereafter. Pouruic Mertixc.—The subscribers, citizens of New York, earnestly desire the election of Daniel Webster, to the office of President of the United States, for the ensuing Presidential term; and they respectfully in- vite all citizens who unite with them in this wish, to meet at on the 4th day of March next, at half past seven o’clook in the evening, to nominate Mr, Webster for the Presidency, subject to the approval ef a Whig National Convention. The same organ of Wall etroet accompanies this pronunciamento with the following explanation of its intention and purpose:— Ma. Wensrer anp tie Presipency.—We are quite sure that the country at large will, very generally, be pleased to learn that the friends of Daniel Webster, in this city, are about co bring his name before the public asacandidate for the Presidency. We will not paate to enquire whether they should not have been up and doing long since; but are content that the good work is vbout to be commenced, and that, too, in the right way. The following call for a public meeting, on the 4th March, will be circulated in a few days; and we venture to pre- dict that it will very shortly have appended to it be- tween five and ten thousand signatures, The 4th of March is the anniversary of the birth of the constitu- tion; and it is peculiarly appropriate that the meeting in this city. jintended to nominate for the Presidency its greatest champion and defender, should take place on that day. By thece important documents—for they have some importance in the present position of Prosi- dential affairs—it will bo seen that the subsorip- tion papors, which are intended to “call the spirits from the vasty deep” of popular opinion, will bo handed round town, and that thoy expect at least from five to ten thousand signatures before the day of meeting. If they can get ten thousand sig- natures to these papers, they will probably get twice that number to attend the public meeting, if they can find a place, other than the Park, the Castle Garden, or Union place, to hold such num- bers as will congregate in one lot, in favor of any distinct candidate for the Presidency. This commences the movoment for tho I’resi- dency, in favor of Mr. Webster, in New York. We give them some credit for throwing off their Wail street roserve, and making a declaration of ' any kind calculated to forward their objects. All thoce who are inclined among the voters of Now York, have a perfect right to meet together, de- | clare themseives in favor of Mr. Webster, andtako every lawfal measure to advance his interests—to collect a fund to procure his nomination at tho “«Slaughter-house Convention,” or to be defeated in tho attempt. This movoment has undoubtedly ' been hastened, at this particular time, in conse- quence of the general effervescence on the subject of the Presidency, which haa been growing at | Washington, and increasing and enlarging through- | out the country. The arrival of General Scott in | this city, and the fact of his now taking his ‘hasty plate of soup” at Delmonico’s, may have contri- | buted te hasten this movement among the frionds of Mr. Webster, as a piece of counter-irritation; and we tuppose that the friends of General Scott will hurry through with their soup, and make a movement of @ similar kind, calculated to benofit | their candidate. if the Scott party should deem sush 9 policy dis- crect at this time, we advise them to hurry up thoiy soup as fast as possible, and to held their public meeting in favor of Gen. Scott much about tho same time as the meeting is called for the assem- bling of the frionds of Mr. Webster. We shall watch this movement in favor of Mr. Webster with a great deal of interest, and report progress in all its de- tails, and with perfect accuracy and impartiality Let him and his friends have a fair chance to got ahead of Gen. Scott, if they can, and procure for their faverite the nomination at the “ Slanghter- house Convention.” Wo would adviso the friend: of their stumps” at once, the movoments and intrigues of the opposite party will eperate on the ‘* Slaughter-house Convention,” in such a wayas to exclude him entirely, as he was exoluded in 1819. General Scott, in that yoar, came very noar got- ting the nomination of the whig convention, and but for his great imprudence in talking politics all round about the country, and writing political lottera to every one that asked him to do 80, would have received that nomination instoad of General Harrison, and been elected. Tho hero of Chepultepec is taking a directly oppo site course now; but to the other extreme He talks nothing of politics, writes no letters, gives no eign, is perfectly dumb on covery subject except military affairs, and the making of good once, if he and his friends do not look ittle of their stiffaess and reserve, be cheated out of the nomination in Phila- from hiz pprsuing an exactly opposite to that whicl be took in 1840, the question now stands in the whig ranks, o tho great con test will be between Wob- 90) ilmore boing out of the quos Webster has ali ¢he wealth and aristo- bumbog, and cor.taption, and intetlect erty, in Wall atre et and in Boston; bat | 1 al’ has got the | sinew’ Of thesame party, | rogions.

The National Intelligencer, the oldest, proudest, the meanest, and poorest of them all, the Republic, also languishing from an insufli- cient supply of treasury pap, the Union, hungry for its ehare of the spoils, the Southern Press, also seant of flosh upon the ribs, one and all, would be greatly benefitted by such an arrangement. Indeed it would be a windfal!, a God-send, for which every one of them would be exceedingly thank- ful. The National Era, singularly enough, the sleekest and fattest of the lot, would also find a share of the spoils very acceptable.— Between the plan ef favoritism to the Union and Republic, and tho plan of.a ‘‘fair divide all round,” all men disposed to be just and impartial must, of course, decide in favor of the latter. What right has one political organ in Washington to subsist upon the people’s money more than another ? and by what authority is any party in Congress author- ized to squander hundreds of thousands of the pub- lic treasure upon one political newspaper, to the exclusion of all the rest? If, therefore, the public printing is to be given out to the party pross, let the press of all parties, in Washington, come in for a share—tho whig, the democratic, the secession, and the abolition organ. Why make fish of ono and flesh of another ? But the main reason for a division of the public printing among all tho political organs at the seat of government, is that, excepting the National Era, every one is absolutely in groat noed of it. From an exhibit published in the Southern Press, it ap- pears that tho permanent subscriptions of tho Washington newspapers, as certified by the affida- vite of their respective proprietors, are as follows :— Nomprr or Parers rupuisneo py tHe Nattonat Inrei- Licencen, Usiox, ano SouTHean Parss, a8 Parsentep anv Consipensd JuLy 9, 1851 Ne Daily Papers......

The | Great Reception—His Speech on only alternative is, then, the establishment of a well regtlated national printing office, for the execution of the printing of Congress and all the departments of the government. We trust that they who have taken tho matter in hand will hold fast, and per- severe, and continue to persevere, till the great object is accomplished. Thus we shall stop at least one source of party bribery and politieal oor- ruption. Tho Lord prosper the good work. Progress oF THE TEETOTAL MovemeNT.—This evening, at Metropolitan Hall, there is to bea grand rally of alltho friends of the new tectotal movement, to urge forward the chariot ef moral and political reform, and to counteract the machi- nations of the ramsellers and the managors of the primary elections. Among the speakers on this occasion, will be Rev. Messrs. Tyng, Peck, Patton, and Chapin, with Hon E. D. Culver, and the ro- doubtablo John Hawkins, the reformed drunkard, and candidate fer the dictatorship of the Alliance. Tho charge at the door is to be only one shilling, which is to save the necessity ofa collection. It will be observed that tho array of clergymen, whose names are mentioned above, are among the most eloquent and distinguished in the city, and every- thing indicates an imposing demonstration. Thus the movement goes ahead, gathering strength and enlisting converts in its progress. It is @ Janus-faced movement of two aspects—ono looks towards the reform of a vico, the abolition of drunkenness, the total overthrow of all drinks stronger than cold water, and the utter extirpation of the accursed stinking weed tobacso. Tho othor aspect looks to the control of tho primary elections and the nominations, and the possession of tho spoils, powor, and influence of office. Two classes of mon, therefore, enter into this movement— one section of the whig politicians arrayed under the banner of Greeley and the New York Tribune; the other the sincere teetotallors and moral reform enthusiasts, who expect to make this sinful Gotham akind of New Jerusalem. Either of these classes is too weak by itself to accomplish its objects, and they form a holy alliance for mutual assistance and support. If the politicians will aid the total ab- stainers, both clergy and laity, to dethrone King Aloohol, they, in turn, will help the politicians to ‘the loaves and fishos.” Such is the entente cor- dial between them. Besides these two classes, there is a third class who will favor the movemont—mon who are neithor politicians, nor fanatics, nor teetotalers, but a quiet, respected class of citizons, who, for years, have been practically deprived of tho exorcise of their votes by the rum and rowdy influences which regulatedthe primary elections andthe nomina- tions, and left nothing for the mass of the people to do but to blindly follow the dictation of the wiro- pullers, and deposit their votes in the ballot box. Some elestors have actually, through vexation, voted for the opposite party, while others have kept entirely aloof, and not voted at all. Those men, influenced much by the same feelings asthe order party in France, who sustain the go- vernment of Louis Napoleon because thoy think it saves them from the horrors of revolution and anarchy, will accept deliverance from the dospot- ism ofthe mob, and the anaroby of the primary elections, almost at any price and any sacrifice, even to the deprivation of a social glass of wine, their cigar, or tobacco box—anything, in short, to getrid of the odious tyranny, which they regard inas horrible a light as they would despotism in the government itself. Evory man fools that, singlc-handed, he is unable to cope with the evil, and that itis not worth his while to neglect his Total. ee 8001 The National Era, according to affidavit made October 9, 1851, had 14,500 subscribers, This is certainly a “‘beggarly account of empty boxes,” and calling for s liberal intervention of congressional charity. But, notwithstanding the lean and hungry con. dition of the Washington journals, we aro utterly opposed to the corrupt system of making them do pendents upon the treasury—opposed to it, root and braneh. In times past, the profits accruing to the printers to Congress, may be counted up by mil- lions; and yet what good has it done? Thoy who bave received the most are as poor as ever; whil® those that have become rich upon their fat jobs are still unsatisfied. It is still the cry of the horse- leech, “Give, give.” We, therefore, propose the abolition of the whole system of party bonuses to party organs, root and branch; and alzo of the pro- sent miserable and corrupt contract system; and approve the establishment of a National Bureau, for tho execution of the printing of the two houses ard all other departments of the government. To this alternative Congress will be compelled to come at last, and the sooner tho better—the sooner cor- ruption in this business will be stopped, nd the better will tho public work bo executed. A national printing office might be so organized as to carry on the printing of all the proceedings of both houses, and of all the pubic dooumonts, cotemporaneously with the ;roceedings from day today. To do this would require a large number of printers, reporters, editors, and translators, a division of the work inte various classes, assigned to various departments of the printing office, a large eupply of types and materials, and a large number of steam presses of the best and swiftest deseription. All this might require a heavy outlay in the beginning; not, however, equal to the con- eus job; but the profits saved to the Treasury from the printing of two sessions, the long andthe short, would cancel the whole oxpense. Tho work can be done, the plan is practical, and can be made entirely efficient. Let Congress ordor tho estab- lishment of s national printing bureau, upon this plan, and they will not be legislating half the time in the dark, as they have been for the last ten | yenrs, from the incapacity ef the public printers to keep up with the documents. We undorstand that some of the work of the last session is even yet in tbe printer's hands. If the committee on printing would seo a practical illustration of what can be accomplished in a well regulated establishment, Jot them detail one of their number to the office of New York Heraco, and ho will be convinced that, ina properly established govornment offise, any amount of printing, of all doscriptions, can bo executed in the shortest possible space of time ra quired. Such results, however, can only be obtained by method, system, order, discipline, competent men, claseification of the work, and Hoo’s six or eight cylinder fast pressos ; but, with such mates rials, and proper arrangemont, tho debates of Congress, including the documents, might all be laid vpon the tables of the mombors from ono day to another, from the first day of the session to the last. If Congress wish to make the experiment upon “ reasonable terms,” let them give us a carte Hanche, and we will soon put the national printing buroau into smooth running order; and the plan shall comprohond a daily journal, including all tho latest domestic and foreign intelligence, e ially relating to government affairs, for the prompt in. formation of the two houses; also the curront re: porte ofthe debates in tho two houses on the morn- ing after the debate—alao, every documont or ro- port Jaid on the table, the day after having boon ered in either house. g system which has existed at leet fifty years, is behind the | actual necessitios of the go i of party jobs to party or- | too glaring to be ro- | o haodred thousand or | to tho central or, | 1 two mny be u very usoly gan, in tho work of « Pr al caw paign; bug | such work can ho dispensed with. If the party or- gana ab Washington cannot exist upon thy indo | pendent smpport of tho people, lot thom die—let them gell out their stock in trade, and go to some~ thing eleo—it ‘a plain thoy are nos wanted. Tho contract system b.% leo beon found wholly ansatia- factory. The prin ‘0g dove under it bae been business, or to encounter the risk ef life and limb, by offering it his individual resistance. Thus, ac- cording to the old adage, ‘‘what is everybody’s business is nobody’s business,” and the anomaly ofa despotic power ruling in the midst of a free country, by physical force and violence, stimulated by the appliances of strong drink, is allowed to go on, from dsy to day, till it has become almost a prescriptivo right, and is confirmed by “‘ the usages of party.” Regarding this imperium in imperio, therefore, as a case of desperation, these peaceful citizens will gladly co-operate with the new tom- perance movement, to get rid of it, and to be placed in the pozition which the eonstitution has conferred on every citizen—the unfettered right of voting for the best men to fill public offices. And there is every prospect of the success of the Alliance. No doubt it will be opposed to the death by the rumsellers, by the whig office-holders, and that section of politicians who manage tho eleo- tions through the primary mectings, and these meetingsthrough bullies and grog. But themoral and religious weight of the community, together with the fanatiss, wil! be all on the other sido, and will probably send the scale of the :um party high in air. This movement is not only a temper- ance organization, embracing the whole State, but it isa system of agitation which will be kept up whether the Maine liquor law is passed this ses- sion or not, and it will extend into the Presidential election, and exert an influonce upon that. It will disorganize the whig party by overthrowing the pre- ser managers, wire-pullers, and undértakers—it will rescue the primary mectings from the ram faction, and Greeley and Co. will put up their friends next fall, ard probably get them nominated. Thus a great pelitical and moral reform is ina fair way of being accomplished, and tho five thousand rum sellers in this city, and their numorous ramifi- cations of friends, seem doomed to utter discomfi- ture. Already some of them are chewing tho bitter cud of despair, and are preparing to soll out, while their occupatien ia not yet gone, and they can got anything for their ‘‘ good will of the business.” Othere, however, are more undaunted, and aro or- ganizing an extensive and powerful opposition All that money can do will bo tried, and if they fail, it will not bo without a tremendous struggle. Their broad, their living, their all, depends upon the issue. Viciory trombles in the balance. Which way the beam shall incline, will soon bo dotermined by time and tectotalism. Meantime, the Alliance ‘put their trust in God, and keep their powder dry,” while the succulent rum party are continually “wetting the'r whistle” with rot-gut, and placing their reliance upon ‘the world, the flosh, and tho devil.” SoMETHING For THE HUNGARIANS.—There is ono man in tho bloody Astor House, tho revolutionary centre of the Hungarian Committeo, who has somo common sense, aud some common feeling, and does not deal in two dollar muskets, nor trouble himself much about issuing shinplastors to humbug the community and cheat public sympathy. Hoe comos to the point at once, and has alroady furnished as- sistance to tho poor, desolate Hungarians in this city, of much more importance to the cause of hu- manity than tho trash circulated in other quartors. Yesterday wo received the following note, with tho enclosure of six!y-three dollars montioned:— 68 Wat Street, New Yor, Feb, 9, 1852, J.

But we learn that Mr. Forrest did not approve of the idea, and it was abandoned. The friends of Mr. Forrest assembled in full force, and the excitement being great, his reception was in keeping with it, The house was densely filled from the ceiling to the toot rast pe number of iadies bearing but asmall xtion to the sterner sex, A Of police were eeiendan im order to pads, Hern any themselves. nee = : ‘bance pag en Forrest sppeared on ¢, some person called out for ‘Three cheers for Edwin Forrest,” and at the came moment there was a tremendous burst of ap- plause from every part of the house, and which conti- hued for maty minutes—in fact, till the object of it must have been surfeited. He stood motionless asa statue, amidst the buzzas,and trampling of feet, and rattling of canes, and all kinds of noiees, with waving of hatsand handkerchiefs, aud the mojority of the au- dience standing. When the arms of the crowd grew tired with brandishing, and their voices became hoarse with shouting, the tumult somewhat subsided, till some cried for three cheers more, and the applause was kept up for a minute or two longer. When silence was re- stored, Forrest made a gentle inclination of the head, and proceeded to declaim his part, but was interrupted almost at every sentence by applause of the sentiment wherever it gave a hit to voluptuousness and corruption, and thore other vices which the friends of Mr, Forrest seemed to think could be very appropriately applied to the acquainta: d associates of Mrs. Forrest, as re- vealed on the al. This was kept up till it becam apnoying to jority of the audience, and prevent- ed them irom hearing the play, when it was at leogtn put down Bome persons in the gallery expressed sentiments, in an under tone, Which wers supposed to be hostile to Mr. Forrest, and were hitsed, amidst cries of “tura them out,” and some confusion. ‘There was nothing very remarkable in the perform. ance, except that the play was, on the whole, weil repre- tented by the leading actors and actresses, especiaily Forrest and Conway—the Istter taking the part of Py- thia4. Forrest seemed a little hoarse in the beginning, but got rid of the impediment as hewent on. His de- lineation of the part of Damon was forcible and energetic rough and strong; but it was deficient in the finer touches and more delicate shades of feeling, which seem ineeparable from this great classic cheracter. In this respect, a8 well un others, Mr. and Atrs. Forrest are per- fectly opposite. She lacks in force and energy; but in portraying the nicer traits of character, she is more elegant, more discriminating, and more athome. The diflerence between the sexes,partly,ascounts for this, but not altcgether—it proceeds also from difference of orga- nization, end is ine great degree constitutional. yn the curtain tell, the calls for Forrest were veho- ment, and were kept up till he came on the stage, when a shower of bouquets fell at his feet, and a number of little flags of the Union, and the scene of cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs which followed bafil-s description. It was kept up for several minutes, In the meantime, Uaptain Itynders azcended the stage, ful- lowed by one or two others, and in the parquet was dis- played a white banner, bearing the inscription—* This is the peopio’s verdict.'’ Wheu quiet and order were at length obtained, Mr. Foxnesr, who took up one of the bouquets thrown to him, proceeded to addrers the audience in the follow- ing speech, which he delivered with due emphasis and intonation, but without any évidence of emotion:—After this unparaileled verdict, ladies and gentlemen, 5 ment applause,) you may readily conceive that 1 deem this the proudest moment cf my life. (Cheers.) Yet, proud as it is, it is not unmingied with sadness. In- stinctively I ark myself the question, why is this great and vart assemblage here? (Applause.) ‘A Voice—To welcome you. (Uheers.) Captain Ryneexs—To reverse the unjust verdict. (Three groans for the jury.) Mr. Forrest—Why is this mighty throng here, com- posed as it is of the high-minded, the right-minded, and the beautiful of the Empire City? Is it because @ favor- ite actor appears before you in @ favorite part? i“ Voick=—No, it is sympathy with you. (Great ap- ure}. Mr, Fonnest—Why is this unusual ferment? Because hog assembled here to-night to express your irrepressi- le sympathies for one whom you know to bea wronged and injured man. (Applause.) But you have assem- bled here for a loftier purpose— to vindicate the principle of even-handed justice. It may be supposed by some that to-night I should touch on the proceedings of the late unhappy trial. (Applause.) Upon that I bave nething to say. Those proceedings are before you, and those proceedings are before the world, and I do not direct you how to find your verdict. (A groan for the judge and another for the jury.) The i this case are to be yet before the court, and I tly await the judgment of that court, be it what it may, (Applause.) In the meanwhile, submit the case to you (ip, hip, burra) I submit my case to you. My case, didlesy? it is not my case, It isthe case of every honest man in this commutity. It is the cause of every honest man in the country; it is the cause of every honest wife; of every one who loves home and the pure spirit that there presides. (Great applause) 1 am willing, therefore, to leave it to that inoerrupt and incorruptible tribunal—the people—the “sober second thought of the people,” and I ehall have no cause to com- pon of their verdict. (Great applause, and waving of sand handkerchiefs.) A little while ago, I thought my path was strewed with thorns—(looking round at the flowers on the stage)—ycu have strewed it with roses. Their fragrance is grateful to the senses, and [ Ore grateful to you for the presentation of them. (Ap- use. Mr. Forrest here withdrew amidet most vehement cheers, which continued for several minutes, and the theatre soon became reiieved of the pressure of the dense multitude. The Operas. The rivalry between the two Italian troupes is main- tained on both sides with determined pluck and talent, They seem to hove adopted nil despsrandum for their motto, and ere contesting the field with intrepidity, skill and determination, worthy of the great principles of aristocracy and democracy which involved in the struggle. The troupe at Niblo’s hed arto borne the assurance of victory, outsirippivg its competitor, whose boxes were almost empty, while theirs was every night crowded; but now the scales appear to be approaching an equipoise, and it is impossible to ssy to which side the balance of victory will incline, Last night Don Giovanni was performed at Niblo’s, to a house well filled; but by no meams #0 crowded as ithad besn on some nights during the past week. Bosio sustained the character of Yerlina, Rose De Vries that of Donna Anna, and Badiali that of Don Giovanni, The rdle of Leporello was excellently represented by Sanquerico, in the Astor place, Meyerbeer’s celebrated opera of Roberto le Diable was performed with Salvi as Roberto, Marini as Bertram, and Signore Steffanone as Alice. This com- bination of talent, joined to the magnificence of the mise en scene, covid not fail to make the rmaDee splendidly attractive. At the end of the third act, Signora Steffanone avd Balvi came before the cur- in, im complience with the calls from the house, and were rapturously be eee We must not omit to mention that the house was completely crammed from the amphitheatre down to the orchestra, an many were unable to procure seats, The aristocracy were well represented; and the opera dresses and white kids rallied in great force to the support of the would-be exclusive establishment. In the fashionable array of beautiful dames and moustachioed exquisites, one group attracted particular observation, and afforded much amusement to the vers, however distastefal the sight may have been to the codfish aristocracy. It consisted of a gors0on in a frieze coat and two girls in old straw bonnets and Paisley rhawls, whose manners, dress, and unsophisticated appearance contrasted strangely with their neighbors, and evidently showed that they were very late importations from the Emerald Isle, However, they sat perfectly at their ease among the “ quality,” not the least disconeerted at the formid- able array of opera-glass barrels presented at them, and seemed to enjoy and appresiate the refined pleasures of the opera as much as any of the more favored olances around them. This comical soene taking place in the temple where rank bad hitherto reigned in uns pproach- able sanctity, is @ gocd illustration of the working of thore democratic principles which Max Maretzok has establithed by his late coup d'état. Viva liberty, equa lity, and fraternity !
