In this movement Mr. C. is rather late, for we learn from our special corres- pondent that the Conference Commmittee have agreed upon a plan that will secure the desired ulti- matum, and will repert to their respective houses this morning. How the joint committee have com- promised matters has not as yet transpired; but, under any circumstances, let Mr. Cooley and his friends stick to their original proposition, including the Hadley amendment repudiating the eontracts of 1851, and all will be safe. ‘The conscigntious scruples of our New York Alder. men with regard to sitting as Assistant Judges, were yesterday relieved by the passage in the Assembly of abill defining their duties to continue for the re- mainder of the year, under the law by which they were elected. A large number of bills were passed by both houses—among them was one by the Senate for the purchase of another reservoir for the reception of the Cro‘on water. As only four members appeared im their seats, the Senate was unable to do any busi- nese in the afternoon. We regret to learn from Buflalo, that the gallant and chivalrous Gen. Bennett Riley expired in that ity on Thursday aight. In the death of Gen. R. his family have lost one of the most devoted parents, his friends one who was faithful as the noonday sun, and his country, an officer of whom the records of his su- periors in rank invariably spoke well. Having dis- tinguished himself inthree important periods of his country’s history, (vic., the last war with Great Britain, and the Florida and Mexican wars,) he died at the age of sixty-six, in the bosom of his family. Hyatt McNeill, a son of Gen. McNeill, was killed -at New Orleans on the 3d inst., by being struck by ‘the shaft of a railroad car. The latest advices from Montreal state that seven persons were killed and sixteen wounded, six of ‘them mortally, by the firing of the soldiers upon the Gavazzi rioters last Thursday evening. We else- where publish the particulars of the deplorable oc” eurrence, together with a letter from Father Gavazzi, giving an account of the attack upon him by the mob at Montreal. Arthur Spring, the murderer of Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Lynch, was executed yesterday, at 11 A. M., at the Moyamensing prison, Philadelphia. He declared the innocence of his son, but refused to confess his own crime, protesting that he was in bed at the time of the occurrence, of which he was not aware until informed of it by the police officer sent on the fol- lowing morning to arrest him. Our special reporter has furnished a detailed account of the conduct and demeanor of the prisoner upon the scaffold up to the moment of his death, together with an interesting description of all the incidents and ceremonials at- tending the execution. The statement, published yesterday, that Samuel Birdeall was appointed postmaster at Schenectady isan error. It should read at Waterloo, N. Y. : “Delegates were present in the convention, which assembled yesterday at Buffalo, from nearly all the railroad companies in this State, as well as many of those inthe East and West. The assemblage was private, but its object, it is understood, is to secure amity and good feeling between all the lines running in one direction throughout the country. The action of this body, it is anticipated, will have an impor tant bearing upon the future rates of fare. A despatch from New Orleans announces that the steamer Illinois was to leave Aspinwall on the 3d fust., with the California mails, three hundred pas" sengers, and $1,600,000 in gold dust. She will pro- bably arrive here this evening or to-morrow. The miners at the Alleghany mines have resumed work, on the understanding that their wages will be raised on and after the 16th of June. No business of any description whatever was trans- acted in the Court of General Sessions yesterday. The Grand Jury entered the court about 12 o'clock: but having no business ready they adjourned until *, Monday. There being no cases ready for trial, the , ‘ourt were also compelled to adjourn until Monday ms Thing. In the Court of Special Sessions a great num ‘ber of criminals were sentenced to the peniten- tiary .for various offences, consisting, as usual, chiefly of asspa'lt and batteries and petit larcenies. » In adgition to the curious and interesting sketch of the life of the Sewing Women of New York, our pages today contain the official minutes of the pro ceedings in the Common Council, together with a special report of the debate in the Board of Alder. men relative to the abduction and murder of Miss McKiroy; 2 great wariety of commercial, local i cial, theatrical aud genera! news, &o., to all whict the attention of the reader is directed without com me to morrow morn we] ¢, laceght by tho steamship Pacit® ee EEEEEEOEEEEeeeEeeeeeseses ‘The Administration and the National Deme- | k-pt intact by the spoils of offie alone? Can | ‘Tax Biack Swaw’s Gnanp Danur mm Lonvow eraté—First Gun fem New Hampshire In the proceedings on Thureday last, of tha Democratic State Convention of New Hamp- shire, the following recommenda*ion to Presi- dent Pierce was introduced by Mr. Edmund Burke, Chairman of the Coxnmittee on Resolu- tions, to wit:— 5th—Resolved, That #2 encourage ourselves with the belief that our distiguished fellow-citizen, now at the head 0: the government of the United States, will not in his appemtments overlook the old guard of the aemacenette party, upon whom he must 7 for successful sepport in all the emergencies whic! may arise in the progress of his administration. This was the resolution as moditied in com- mittee; for it appears that as originally drafted by Mr. Burke, the word “future” was inserted before appointments. and the following words at the end:—‘Nor confer too many fa- vors on those who support the platform for one purpose and spit upon it for another, and who have no real sympathy with the great national democratic party or its principles.’ These words have a sting in them, and were therefore judiciously stricken out. Nor could it be ex- pected that the resolution as modified would ‘be adopted by the convention. Mr. Burke, perhaps, did not expect it; but his subsequent election by the gonvention as their president, indicates pretty satisfactorily that they were not seriously offended at his conduct. Indeed. his election appears to us as a sort of left- handed acquiescence in the resolution; and in this light, we apprehend the administration will be most likely to regard it. We are also inclined to think that Mr. Burke has achieved more than he anticipated, in being thus elected president of the convention, after baving brought in the aforesaid obnoxious re- solution. The two facts are upon the record— first. that the resolution was introduced in a New Hampshire State Convention, in the vil- lage of Concord. the iocal head-quarters of Gen. Pierce, in advance of any such expression of opinion from any other quarter; and secondly, that although the resolution was rejected very decisively, the mover of it was complimented in a way substantially tantamount to the adop- tion of the resolution itself. Doubtless the simple purpose of Mr. Burke was to show to the national democrats. all over the land. that there were some of “ the Old Guard” of New Hampshire bold enough to lift up their warn- ing voice, while yet the administration seems to be omnipotent almost, in its power to con- trol the destinies of the party—in its power to reward or to punish individuals or factions, as policy or necessity may demand. Herein lies the force and whole moral effect of this New Hampshire movement. It would be of comparatively little weight—a milk and water affair—in New York, or Georgia, or Ohio, or Mississippi; for in each of those States “the Old Guard’”—the Union compromise democrats, the Cass and Dickinson branch of the party—have a tangible and immediate cause of complaint. But in New Hampshire, it is mainly from their sympathy with their brethren of other States, that the compromise men have any reasonable ground of displeasure. And hence the moral effect ot Mr. Burke’s resolution, True. he may have had some personal balances to liquidate between himself and General Pierce. With such mat- ters. however, we have nothing todo. We can only regard this resolution in its broader and more general bearing, as a warning from Ne' Hampshire to the administration, and as an encouragement to the “Old Guard” every- where, to abandon their policy of quiet submis- sion, and to take a bolder and more independent ground in reference to the divisien of the spoils. And there are not wanting many indi- cations, hereabouts or elsewhere. that the hard shells will profit from the broad hint thus thrown out by the sturdy New Hampshire democracy. The division of the spoils! The theme is distasteful. It savors of corruption. Can the democratic party be holden up by an unwise division of the spoils? Can its great pro- gramme of measures and principles be thus defeated, by exciting discord and mutiny among the rank and file? We must answer in the affirmative. The spoils are the adhesive plaster of the federal govera- ment; and in these days, where a powerful fac- tion of the dominant party is overlooked, trouble and disorganization may be anticipated. But the national democrats cannot be justly regarded as a faction. They constitute, rather, the substantial nucleus of the whole party. They held the same position in the late Presi- dential contest that the regular troops occupied in the battle of Buena Vista. The brave volun- teers, In the gorge of Angostura, fought with the resolution of veterans, with some exceptions; but it was Bragg’s battery, to use the expression of Old Zack’s official report, that “saved the day.” And so it was the plat- form—the compromise platform. of the national democrats that “saved the day” to General Pierce, and gave to the whigs a worse than Buena Vista defeat. in the November election. What has followed? The Washington organ pleads the plea of the reunion of the democracy, It pleads that, whereas the Northern free soilers of 1848, and the Southern secessionists of 1850, ’51, united upon the Baltimore platform in the election of Gen. Pierce, therefore he could only do what he has done. in considering national men. free soilers, and secessionists, a consoli- dated and homogeneous mass. The defence would be plausible, and perhaps satisfactory. were the premises correctly laid down. But in the cabinet. in the diplomatic appointments, in the diversified schedule of domestic offices, it is charged by old hard-fisted democrats, that the administration has been working deliberately to overshadow and supersede the Cass and Dickinson division of the party, by a junction of the Northern and Southern ultras. The na- tional democrats are evidently impressed with this idea, that they are to be superseded in the future councils of the party—that they are too slow—that their platform is obsolete—that Cass and Dickinson are obsolete, and that they and their adherents must be content to play second fiddle to a new and wrong order of things. This is the key to the New Hampshire resolu- tion, aad we apprehend that this is not the last of it. But can the President retrace his steps, and reclaim and restore the national democrats —the hard shells, the old hunkers, the old fo gi if you please—to their rightful position? They do not regard themselves as an inferior branch of the party—as a make-weight in the late eleetion—but rather as the head and front and grand central column of the democraey And there is defection in consequence, still dor- ant toa great extent, but brooding upon re- There is a democratic rupture foment- ing in the rank and file of the party, Can har- pe restored? Can all the diverse elements ng in the late election be held together by all that has been done, may be done. or can be Can tho great de: fe party be venge un any administration suceeed on the “cohesive power of public plunder” and nothing else? Execedingly doubtful, if not absolutely impos- sible. The part of wisdom, then. is to have a strong anchor to the windward. Can General Pierce maintain his position on any other principles than the distinct and comprehensive Union principles of the national democrats, as laid down in the Baltimore platform? Do not prin- ciples ang men invariably go together? And in the abstract, disgusting as is this dirty busi- ness of the spoils, it becomes an important game, where their dispensation conveys an en- dorsement or repudiation of this or that par- ticular faction or division of the party. The popular apprehension that General Scott, if elected, would give the suprema- cy in his administration to Seward and the free soilers, had everything to do with his terrible defeat. The popular belief, on the other hand, that General Pierce would uphold the principles of the constitution, as embodied in the compromise platform. in his appointments not less than in his measures of public policy, had everything to do with his triumphant elec- tion. We are responsible. to some extent, for this direction of public opinion; and the history of the last twenty years or so. will vindicate the consistency of this journal upon the great fundamental issues of the last Presidential can- vass. We, therefore, feel the greater solicitude concerning the success or failure of this adminis- tration. We desire its success. but we fear that it is drifting to the breakers. But it is, per- haps, enough for the present to recommend, (aside from all personal considerations in con- nection with this New Hampshire movement,) a careful study of the scope and drift of Mr. Burke’s resolution, by the President and his Cabinet. The flatteries of sycophants and courtiers may be agreeable. but they are delu- sive. The timely warnings of independent men cannot be, with equal safety, disregarded. Will there be war? “Tue InpustrraL Oxasses or New York—Tue Suet Sewers, tae Conprtion, &c.—We pub- lish to-day. the second article on the industrial classes of our city. It is devoted to an account of the shirt sewers—their condition, the prices paid for their work, and such facts connected with their peculiar occupation as we considered of interest to the public. Very few have any conception of the amount of wretchedness:and destitution which prevails among them, or can realize the fact that there are women living in New York who work from an early hour in the morning till a late hour at night, for one dollar a week—a sum barely sufficient to keep body and soul together. While we have such destitution at our doors, within reach of our charity, may we not justly question the character of that philanthropy which goes. rambling over the world to find ob- jects on which to exhibit its benevolence? Here are hundreds—thousands—of poor women, some with families, who have no other means of support then their needle, living upon one or two scanty meals a day, as they are able to get them, and inhabiting the most wretched and miserable -abodes. A great deal of sympathy has been elicited by the publication of sketches of their condition in the papers; but, until the present:time, no detailed account has yet been presented to the public. Various means have been devised for their relief, but they have resulted in little perma- nent benefit; yet, for the good they have ac- complished, they are deserving of praise. We kelieve, however. that the plan which we have proposed will be more effective than any yet contrived, and-we cammend it to the considera- tion of the public, upon whom its success en- tirely depends. Let all who sincerely desire to assist the poor sewers employ them to make their shirts. and pay them a fair price; and we have no doubt that much of the destitution that exists among them will be relieved. Read the article, and give it a careful consideration. Tue Mempnis Coxventioy.—The planters and commercial men of the South, who con- vened in Memphis, Tennessee, during the first four days of this week, dispersed on Thursday, after having resolved to hold their next annual meeting in Charleston, S. C., in the month of April. 1854. We had been led to anticipate the transaction of much highly important busi- ness by this Memphis Convention; such as the establishment of a great Southern entrepot to supplant New York, and through which the di- rect trade of the South and West with Europe should be thereafter carried on, and also the selection of a European port for the exportation of their sugar and cotton, instead of Liverpool. But from the meagre accounts furnished to us through the telegraph. we cannot discover that they have actually determined on anything. save the expression of their sentiments in favor of the construction of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, an enterprise to which it had been previously supposed the whole South was anta- gonistic. The selection of Charleston as the place where the Convention is to assemble next year. might seem to indicate that city as the point on which the Southern commercial metropolis would be best located. However, we cannot well judge of the sentiments of the meeting until we have received a detailed report of its proceedings from our special reporter, which we propose laying before our readers in the course of a few days, Tue Art Uxton—A Doverci Verpict,—The report made by the Committee ofthe Assembly (and which was agreed to) in the matter of the late Art Union, must be very consoling to the subscribers to that philanthropic institution. The committee say that the object of this estab- lishment appears to have been “ for a few indi- viduals to accumulate a large fund and then divide.” How simple the operation! And the committee came to the sage conclusion that “the property of the Art Union is all sold, the treasury empty, and that any further legislative action would be of no avail to the subscribers who had contributed their money. to all of which the House agreed.” “ Accumulate a large fund and then divide!” All gone—treas- ury empty—cleaned out—no use doing any- thing more. Just so. When the Heraip com- menced the war upon this concern it was proud, and strong. and defiant. like the United States Bank when Old Hickory first opened his bat- teries against it. But. like Old Hickory, we have lived to see the monster vanquished. for “truth is mighty and will prevail.” We regret. however, that there ia no surplus of assets. for otherwise a portion of it might have been added to the fund of the Irish Directory, or to the Hun- garian Loan, or to something else. Property all sold—subecribers too—treasury empty ! Ak! me! —Somermine Excerpwoty Ricu.—Let Jenny Lind, Catherine Hays, Alboni and Sontag hide their diminished heads, for the Black Swan is now blazing in the firmament of London, under the special patronage of the British nobility, and Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, as the “Ame- rican Vocalist.” Read, read the royal procla- mation :— { Vignette: British Coat of Arms.)

Just upon the heels of “Uncle Tom” and Mrs. Har- riet Beecher Stowe. Whata palpable hit! We predicted something like this yesterday, but the reality far transcends our most sanguine expectations. Single reserved seats half a guinea—that is, in round numbers, two dollars and ahalf. Unreserved seats, or promenade tickets, seven shilling and sixpence, or about one dollar eighty-seven and a-half cents. Where is Barnum now? And Her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland heads the billof noble patronesses! Oh! most admirable John Bull, who can measure the length of his ears? And it is a morning concert, beginning at three o’clock in the morning, and ending at five! Think of that, ye early risers of New York. Butas the morning inLondon does not begin ‘till about twelve o’clock in the day, this bill, doubtless. means from three to five in what with us is called the afternoon. A busy time ofday in London. None of the common people —no “ poor white trash” of her Majesty’s sub- |_ jects can afford to lose two of those precious hours at two dollars and a half, or even a dol- Jar and eighty-seven and a half cents, to hear the Black Swan sing. She is above euch vul- garity. She is the protegé of the aristocracy; and perhaps, when they are gatisfied, she may condescend to give the mercantile classes, at least, a concert or two at reduced prices. But what a spectacle of British philanthropy is here presented to the world! Let the Black Swan, however. strike while the iron is hot. She is just in the nick of time. While weeping over the imaginary sorrows of Uncle Tom, dur susceptible old friend, John Bull, may be hum- bugged on the grandest seale. There is room in England now not only for the Black Swan, but for any quantity and every variety of speculations by “our free colored Americans” and fugitive slaves. George K. Downing, with his superior American oysters, might realise a handsome fortune in three months in London, at this crisis; and Fred Douglass, as a lecturer on Southern slavery, might return in the spring. and buy out the finest establishment on Fifth avenue. A company of blacks representing life in the South, would run like wildfire all over England. Will they not profit from this golden opportunity? The Black Swan is not enough for the overflowing sympathy of our benevolent John Bull. Let Downing sce to it. and take over for his relief a whole regiment of the colored race. big and little, male and female, and gather in the rich harvest of poor old Uncle Tom. Let him also take some of his fine Prince’s Bay oysters. Manuel Emilio. Beethoven. Alvars. Compriwentary.—We clip the following para- graph from the New Bedford Mercury, not- withstanding its editor has been evidently fish’ ing for a notice from the New York Heratp:— Ovrracrows.—In the eorner stone of a new Ba) tist church just laid in New York, was placed, among other curiosities, a copy of the New York HERALD. We hope posterity will not Lie that our church members took that paper. When the future Layard of our modern Nineveh unearths the precious sheet, it will puzzle him hagely to deter- mine what particular religion was preached in a tabernacle that preserved the Heratp inits archives. We think we can answer this oily gammon of New Bedford. The columns of the Heratp tself will settle the question raised. But this New Bedford Pharisee speaks of ‘ our church.’ We ehould say that his religion was all blub- ber—very fishy—‘very like a whale;” and we should not be surprised to find him a delegate at the next anti-Bible abolition Hartford con- vehtion. “ Our church!” What a precious specimen of puritanical piety is here! “Our church!” Verily, the ancient Dogberry would “write him down an ass.” Tne New Park.—A powerful petition in be- half of the Central Park has been left at this office for signatures, and our numerous visiters are requested to sign it. We believe that this pro- posed Park, if put to the vote of this commu- nity. would receive a far more decisive approval than the new charter. And we believe that a monster petition of forty or fifty thousand signa- tures. carried up to Albany by a commi one hundred citizens of our various indus commercial, and professional classes, would be conclusive with the Legislature. And why not call a meeting in the old Park, our poor little old Park, in behalf of the new Park, the beauti- ful and desirable new Park—a mecting in re- ference to this petition and committee to Al- bany. Our law makers must obey the will of Le ebeetn- ie ities toate tt fect them Lear it, i Talk on Change. Cotten was more active, with sales of 4,00@ bales, at steady prices, Other articles were without important change. ‘The firing of the salute by H. B. M. frigate, produced quite a sensation for a moment, as a rumor spread the; the Pacific had arrived. It was not long, however, before the story was put to rest. ‘The visit of the Leander with her noble passengers, however, was hailed as an event of considerable interest. Tt was only about two years since that the United States vessel of war St. Lawrence, reached the port of Southampton on a similar peaceful mission, and where she, with her officers and srew, were received with every mark of distinction and hospitality, by the official autho- rities of that town, The officers were also treated with marked reepect and honor in London. Tt was hoped that our corporate authorities, seconded by our citizens, Would extend to the Leander, to her off. eers, and especially to Her Majesty’s commissioners, that reciprecal respeet, kindness, and hospitality which a hearty welcome should vouchsafe. It was stated that Professer Bache, of the coast survey, was in town, and would soon be joined by Professor Hen- ry and some other ecientific gentlemen. Professor Bache, at the request of some of our leading citizens, contem- plates, while here, briefly examining into the present state of our harbor, and ascertaining how far the improvements going on and contemplated are likely to effect the channels of the harbor. It was sup- pored that he would examine the docks. building or being extended and filled up in the East river, including those at the upper part of the city, to ascertain te whut extent, if any, they were likely to injure our harbor. ‘This was an important mission, and the report of tho Professor would be looked fer with great interest, His opinions could not fail to exercise much influence on the subject. The clipper hip Sovereign of the Seas had been loaded and prepared to sail for Liverpool, but, owing to the diti- culty of obtaining riggers, she would not, probably, be able to get away for three or four days. ‘The aplendid clipper ship known as the Queen of Clip- yers, sold to Messrs, Zarega & Co. for about $130,000, was about three fourths full for California, aud would have early despatch. Many private letters are said to be due from Califor nia, whieh it was hoped would come to hand by the Il- lineia, Regret was expressed that the weekly California mail was to be diseontinued. This would prove a matter of serious ineonvenienee to all merehants éngaged in tho Pa- eific trade. It seems atrange that while steamers obtain more pas- sengers than they can well accommodate, both geing and coming, they should not extend their facilities for trans- portation, instead of diminishing them. Weekly communication could still be maintained were the steamers of the Nicaragua line to alternate their days of sailing with the vessels of the mail steam- ship company. At present, strangely enough, they both advertise to sail on the same day, viz., June the 20th. Ifthe Post Office Department cannot pay for the eon- veyanse of an extra weekly mail, all that is asked, the Nicaregua company might afford to carry a bi-monthly alternating mail for less money. ‘As soon as the stamped envelopes were issued, which would probably be next month, the express agents would te allowed to carry letters, and those running on the Nicaragus route (if alternating) could do much towards keeping up a weekly letter communication, which was an object of deep interest to the whole community, and to merchants in particular. Travel to Europe. The movement across the Atlantic from the United States, is much more general and extensive this season than it has ever been before. Each of the steamers leaving this port twice a week for England, has hed, for several weeks past, her full complement of passengers, and sorgptimes they have not been able to accommodate allapplying for berths. The Atlantic, which leaves at noon to-day, takes out no less than 205 passengers, a large number of whom intend to makes tour of the Old Werld. Besides there, several had engaged berths who afterwards could not arrange to leave to-day, and who have deferred their departure till the sailing of the mext steamship of the Collins line, the Arctic ; amongst thove so circumstanced, is the Hon. James Buchanan, our new minister te England. ‘We remark among the names of the passengers by the Atlantic those ef Mr. J. P. Graves, bearer of despatches from Washington; Alderman D. F. Tiemann, of New York, who has lately somewhat signalized himeelf by his hostility © civic corruption. Perbaps Mr. Tiemann, having heard recently the very astonishing fact that European municipa; corporations are very rarely corrupt bodies, has gone to study, on the spot, thisfsecial phenomenon. If so, he will come back valiantly resolved to apply the fruits of his experience to the amelioration of the body of which he is a member. Miss Fitzpatriek, the highly gifted and very popular comedienne in also among those who have left by the Atlantic. Though circumstances have been somewhat unfavorable to this lady since her arrival here from England, still she has had sufficient opportunities for displaying her histrionie talents, and has elicited very .general admiration. Mr. Allen Dodworth, conductor of the musieal associa- tion 20 favorably known in New York as Dodworth’s Band, is among the passengers by the Atlantic. So are General Peter Gansevoort and Judge Amasa J. Parker, of Albany. The former is a well known and re- speeted descendant of the old Knickerbocker line of New York, and is probably drawn to Europe by his desire to visit the land which geve birth to the brave and honest old burgomasters of New Amsterdam. Judge Parker is one of our legal lights, and is am ornament to the beneh where he fulfils his funetions. He was elected to the Le- gislature in 1833. Inthe following year he was chozen one of the Regents of the University, and in 1836, when only 29 years of age, he was elected to Congress from the district then comprising Broome and Delaware counties. Tn 1844, he was appointed Circuit Judge, and removed to Albany ; and in 1845 he presided with remarkable ability and unswerving firmness in the existing trials of the anti- renters in Delaware county, which the Herarp reported very fully. On the adoption of the new constitution, Judge Parker was elected one of the Justiees of the Su’ preme Court. The names of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Braham are also in the list of passengers by the Atlantic, We are thus about to lore another of our musical favorites, Alboni has just quitted our shores, and while lamenting her loss, Augustus Braham, our popular and favorite English tenor, takes his leave. This gentleman came out with Miss Catherine Hayes to this country, and at once established himself as one of the first English tenor of the day, that has as yet visited us (always excepting his world renowned father.) Mr. Augustus Brabam afterwards made arrange- ments with Madame Bishop and Signor Bochsa to perform in opera, with their newly organized troupe, and appeared im a round of English operas viz: ‘ Lucia di Lammer- moor, ** Linda di Cbamounix, ’’ and ‘' Somnambula, ”’ &c., with immence success, at Niblo’s in New York, the Wal- nut street theatre in Philadelphia and the Holliday street theatre in Bal‘imore, playing a month to five weeks at each place, On the breaking up of the Bishop troupe, Mr. Brabam formed a new company and produced Wallace's “ Moritana ” and “ The Daughter of the Regiment, ”” &c. with great éclat and suceess; after which, taking a tour through the South, he received some very handsome and valuable gifts and presentations trom his Southern admi- rers. Mr. Braham en parsing through Philadelphia on his return, was induced to remain there six weeks, sung at the Philarmonic concerts, and on his departure for New York received a grand complimentary one from the citizens of the ‘City of Brotherly Love.” He returned here a few weeks since, and now, though regretting to announce his ceparture, yet we are glad to be able to state positively that it will be only fora time, and we truly hope a short time, as he intends at no very distant period to settle in America. He has remained in America two years. He bears xway with him the bert and kindest wishes of all who have known or heard him, and when he returns to us, his welcome back will be as sincere and warm as his most sanguine wishes could desire. We also find among the names of the Atlantic’s pas- sergers those of Mrs, Octavia W. Le Vert and family, of Mobile ; Colonel Ross and family, of Pennsylvania ; Hon, J. 1. Taylor, &c.
