Bosron,—The Museum is the only theatre regu- lariy open. Certain complimentary benefits have deen givea at the National and Howard. One of ihe papers says: ““Atthe National theatre on Wed- aesday evening, a certain literary gentleman of this | sity, J. W.L., came forward to deliver an address bn the drama, with hat, cane, and gloves! This pecu- liarity struck the gods with amazement; and, by the time he got one glove off (!) down came about | two pounds of flour. Then came three or four Strings of onions. After that,a promiscuous shower of bologna sausages, old shoes, lemon peelings, gas fixtures, and other vegetables. The literary gentle- man then shook his cane,and stepped out suddenly.” Mr. Luke Weat, of the Campbell's Minstrels, died Tecently in Boston. Last week a benefit was given to his widow, at the Music Hall, and it netted a handsome sum. Sandford’s troupe, now perform- fing in Canada, passed resolutions of sympathy, a oopy of which has been transmitted to Mrs. West. AvBany.—The Gabriel Ravel troupe have been Grawing full houses to Chanfrau’s theatre. Tror.—Mrs. William Ward has been playing a Gtar engagement here, and has been much admired.

Loutsvii&—Mrs. Barrow (late Miss Julia Ben- | het) bronght out the new drama,‘ Genevieve, or the Reign of Terror,” at the People’s theatre, on Satur- day, June $d. The piece is an adaptation of Dumas’ celebrated novel of that name, a work which is sur- passed perhaps by none of that eminefft author's in- numerable folios of fiction. The plot,as may be knowa by its second title, is laid during the Reign of Tercor, when Robespierre, Danton, and their bloody-handed compeers, wielded the destinies of France, aad made one entire shamble of its capital. Genevieve, the heroine of the piece, was rendered with great pathos and effect by Mrs. Barrow, who was to take a benefit in a few nights. Mrs. Barrow willenter on a lengthy engagement in Boston in September. Caviroenta,—The following summary is published in the Affa of May 1th : Since the departure of the last steamer, the Bate- man Children played an engagement of a week at the Metropolitan, drawing crowded houses nightly, ving produced a new drama, entitled ‘* Young frrenee written by Mrs. Bateman, which was bry well received.

It is called “ The Knights of the Round Table.” Mr. G. Vandenhoff plays the principal part. At the Adel- phi Mr. C. Selby’s adaptation of “ Les Villes de Marbre” has been successful. The Atheneum of , May 27, says of Drury Lane:—“ English opera is now toalternate with French and German; conse- quently on Monday evening “ Fra Diavolo” was produced with an English company. Mr. Sims Reeves was the brigand hero, Mra. Sims Reeves Zer- lina, Mr. and Mrs. Weiss Lord and Lady Allcash, and Mr. Leffler and Mr. F.

The theatrical world partakes of the general dul- ness of the season; the habitues of the Francais are looking forward to the return of Madlle. Rachel, | which is to take place on the 3lst, in “ Phedre,” “La Fiancée du Diable,” the music by M. Mass¢, and the libretto by M. Scribe, is shortly to be pro- duced at the Opera Comique. Report speaks lightly of the production. The inexhaustible be once more threatens the world with his last dramatic work—positively the last; but these reports are looked upon with the same respect as the last =pre- sentations of a famous actor, or the determinations , of Rachel herself to quit La France. “ Qu’en dira le Monde %” is the title of a new piece, which has been very successful at the Odeon. The plot is simple. | “ What will the world say?’ That question upon which society hangs, and which has to answer for | so much of its follies and its heartlessness, prevents the hero of this piece marrying a woman with whom he has lived, although he is much attached fo her. His uncle attacks him upon the same point of “What will the world say?” to make him break off the /iaison and marry one of his choosing. The | dilemma is solved by the voluntary resignation of | hishand by the woman whom he loves, and who will not stand in the way.of her lover's happiness. And the lover accepts of her resignation. “ Qu’en dira le Monde ¢” Herr Pischek, the celebrated German yooalist, has arrived at Paris, en rowte for London, and ee bably has arrived in the British metropolis ere this. Madame Persiani has also left us for the same desti- nation. All doubt of Mad'lle Rachel's departure is now removed; it is said she will, before her re- | turn, proceed as far as California—such is the ‘thirst for gold.” A oe musical festival is to take place at Amsterdam in July (states the Gazette Musi: at which Mad’lle Cruvelli, Mad'lle Jonny N | talented German vocalist, and Miss Dolby, don, are engaged.

We are all expectation in anticipation of a “flying visit” from Johanna Wagner. From Prague we hear that a new tragic opera, by M. Kitt'l, “The Teonoclasts” (Die Bildersturmer) , has recently been produced in the Bohemian capital with the greatest success, M. Kitt'l is the principal director of the Prague Conservatoire, and it is shortly to be produced at Munich. From Berlin we also learn that the King of Prussia had presented the two brothers Wienoski with the gold medal of arts and sciences, in consequence of a new work his Majesty—a concerto. Handel's oratorio of “ Is- rael in Egypt” was performed on the 10th instant, in the Prussian ae more than vocal and choral effect. At the Theatre Thalia, at Hamburg, a performance had been given for the benefit of the | talented composer Lachner, on which occasion | Gretry's opera of ‘ Barbe Bleu,” originally com- posed in 1778, was produced with unqualified sue- cess. From Vienna we learn that Jenny Lind, having gained yreat fame and profit by her series of concerts, was about to leave, as was said by some, for the British metropolis. One of the English papers says :— A good deal of interest prevails at the present time in the musical circles of Northern Italy in re- gard to a young English vocalist of unnsua! talent, and who is scarcely known in this coun The lady alluded to is only about twenty yea f age, and yet she has sustained, with unquali ap- plause, the parts assigned to prime donne acso'ute at several of the Veh nt Italian theatres. We be- lieve she is a native of Somersetshire; her name is Adelaide Phillips, and, unlike many similar profes- sional “stars,” when in the ascendant, she has not Italianized her cognomen. The lady is ve of Philadelphia. She first appeared as Little Pickle, in the “Spoiled Child,” atthe Boston Museum, cight years since. She af- terwards joined the stock company, danced and song, and also played small parts.

All along the line, the windows of the honses were crowded with ladies, who welcomed the est by the waving of handkerchiefs, which cour- jeay was gracefully acknowledged. The city’s guest was then conducted to ig Hall, which was crowded with citizens and ladies of Portland, where the Mayor welcomed him to the city, in an appro- priate speech, to which his lo: ip replied in a speech of some length, in which he expressed his thanks forthe manner in which he had been received by onr citizens, complimented the lovely Sppearance | of the city, and eaueenset his friendly nal es for | pot oer in ae at enterprises, which was | constant ly interrupted by the most hearty applause.

After some time spent in this social manner, Lord | Elgin and suite, with gentlemen of Portland, entered their and Toe about promenades, &c. of the city. At 4 P.M. the company reached Lancas- | ter Hall, where quite a crowd of citizens and ladies were gathered to welcome them. The subscribers to the dinner, one hundred and twenty tickets having been issued, entered the hall, while the band played a march. ‘On the entrance of Lord Elgin, accompanied by ex-Goxernor Parris, Kae President of the day,) the Geb rose, and band played the “‘ Blue Bells of nd.” The hall was tastefully festooned with flags, British and American, and other devices of amity, entertwined with appropriate mottoes, wreathed in flowers, con- spicuous on the walls. Rev. Dr. Dwrour invoked the divine blessing, and Mr. Robinson’s abundant repast was attacked with great zest. The Vice Presidents for the occasion were Messrs. J. 8. Little, N. L. enon J. A.

On concluding his remarks, he gave:— ‘The social and commercial intercourse of the Canadas with the United States. The exhibition of the former we have, may the latter soon be complete. Lord Exam rose to speak of the abundance of beautiful ladies in Portland, as a most remarkable yhenomenon.

He proposed, | 3. The Health of Lord Elgin, Governor General of Bri- | tish North America. Received with six cheers, and music, “Bruce’s Return.’? When he rose to speak, three more were given. | Lord Exary said, he had thonght it no ea vow | for his American friends to astonish him with their | kindness. He had been so often a recipient in this respect, that he thought he was proof; but he was not prepared for the proceedings of porcny. He had | thought himself excellently well off with the city authorities, but the citizens had even outdone them. | ‘They were treating him as a familiar friend, who was | not forgotten when away. The maintenance of a aay understanding between the two countries was the best assurance of their progress in civiliza- tion. With him, in so far as the British provinces are concerned, he believed there had been more done within the last seven years, to promote kindly rela- tions, than in apy number of years before. Who will be worse off for itt he asked. Are the Cana- dians less loyal? He made bold to affirm, the more liberal the policy, the more loyal the subject. It had been his earnest study in his administration to prevent any Rhea ee ar | between these two countries. "The principle of self-government having been conceded, misunderstanding had ceased. Other causes of misunderstanding been commercial interests. It always had been his object to induce the people of the Canadas to meet us half way.

Such also is the feeling in the eastern part of the State. Every lover of Maine looks upon it as the means of connecting the le State with the Cana- das and the far West. Mr. J. closed with an appro- ey sentiment, which we did not catch sufficient- ly to report. Vice-President J. A. Poor, being called on, after some pertinent introductory remarks, gave— 5. The Grand Trunk Railway, and the health of Mr. C. P. Rooney, managing director. "Music—‘Rory 0’Moore.”* ‘This toast was received with great warmth. Mr. R. was overpowered with the kiadneas of his recep- tion. He had a very important duty to fulfil in this prise, and he trusted ere long it would be continued to a successful result, and this beauti- ful city—and there is none more beautiful—reap a large harvest for her zeal in the cause.

Nebraska as it Is. | The following description of the climate, produc- tions, soil, &c., of Nebraska Territory, is from the Council Bluffs; City Bugle. Council Bluffs City is situated on Indian creek, about three miles from the Missouri river, opposite and in plain view of the wild | meadows of Nebraska; and the situation of the edi- | tor,of the Bugle being in such close ey to the | new territory, will tend to make the following short description the more — The bounds of this proy Territory is spacious enough and contains much very excellent land—the Missouri bounds it on the east, and the Rocky Moun- tains on the west. There is quite a number of good useful streams that traverses its borders. ~ | it is now tations & expected that the Indians will be removed this fall to their new homes, giving room to the ied Soper pe palefaces. The climate like our own is mild and pleasant,and like asin other prairie countries, there is a rather over proportion of wind, and even in the most sultry summer days | 4 cooling breeze fans the prairies. ‘There is little | snow in winter, it being much of the time pleasant, | sunny weather through the winter. The vast herds — of buffalo, elk and deer, that range this extensive territory would feed the starving millions of Europe on meat for years. | ‘Lhe valleys on all the streams are rich and fertile, | but much of the high lands away from the water courses are sandy and not arable, There are min- | erals of various kinds already discovered, among | which are coal, iron, chalk, magnesia, &c. There | is timber on nearly all the streams and intermingled | with the bluffs and hills and vallies, although as a | general thing there is a scarcity through the Terri- tory. Fish, geese, swan; ducks and other feathered | game is abundant through this whole Missouri river | region. Amongst the fruits that abound in Nebras- | ka and in this region also are Cs , plums, cher- ries, strawberries, raspberries, black currants, goose- , haws, crab and thorn apples, and in the | mountains of Nebraska the same berries abound. The Missouri bottoms in Nebraska are in many places broad and always fertile, with timber almost its whole » Omaha City is the name inembryo of a city to be built on the river opposite this city.

Cevallos is undonbtedly looked for as the national leader/and his career is regarded as an assu- rance that he will accept the to which he is in- vited; and that he is every way competent for the post. His first act as President of Mexico was the adoption of a liberal fiscal system and the establish- ment of a moderate tariff—two of the most pressing wants of Mexico. He then acted with singular dis- interestedness and courage in regard to the various stock-jobbers who beset him, in regard to the Tehuantepec right of way, enti with a single eye to the public interest. When a factious Congress, in defiance of the consti- tution, in order to averige themselves upon him for frustrating their schemes of disorder and pee tions, undertook to impeach him and brit im for trial before themselves, he met them with Crom- well’s nerve, and more than Cromwell's purity, dis- solved the ing body, {and sent the national | guard to close falls, And finally, when the re- volutionists of Gi , including the General whom he had sent to suppress the insurrection, united in an offer the prize of the Presidency, on condition of joining them, he refused the offer wit! {udignation, and returned to the shades of private life, more honored than the Dictator who succeed him. Santa Anna courted him by the offer of the Grand Cross of the newly created Order of Guadalupe, which he declined at once; and foreseeing the was unable to stem, he quitted the counéry, and was followed in his voluntary exile by a decree of expulsion—thus testifying the fears of the rr. ‘is history is full of disinterested acts of: patriot ism; and if in the course of events he should be called upon to preside over Mexico, we have the jis abilities, his disinterestedness, and his liberal principles, will assure her a real re- him to that elevation, is ret & matter of speculation authorizes us to pronounce any confident anticipation. The sentiment of hatred to Santa Anna is latent, but its universal prevalence is Spero. Even in the capital, iy late farce of a triumphal entry after his return the South, satirical squibs were abundantly circulated among the populace, heaping Sprrobed im upon his head— painting his foge in its pure colors, as of one of humiliation and defeat—describing the triumphal arches as “ caudine forks,” and ridiculing his ‘* Moat Serene Highness,” as‘* his most terrified | recently surgeon of came to | could not be will be regarded as should have been bredance ot credence, we are n .
