Kane and the mem- ers of the Arctic-expedition which left this port’on the 31st of May, 1853, will "be received throughout ‘the country with feelings of pleasure and delight. ‘It was feared Wy many that our bréve and géilant eountry man, who had perilled his ewn life in search of Sir John Franklin, hud shared ‘the fate of the lost navigator; ond had it not been for the most un- wearying perseverance and undaunted courage in the midst'of the perils by which he was surrounded, he would probably never have rcturned to his native land. The account of his adventures and explora- tions inthe Arctic regions will be read with the deepest interest,and the additions which he hee made to;the geography of the‘Polar regions will be re- eeived by the scientific world with that-consideration 0 which their irnportance entities them. The party composing the expedition travelied a distance of thirteen hundred miles over the ice, and altheugh subjected to much suffering and hardship arrived at the Danish settlement of Lea vely with a loss of only three out ef nineteen. They were obliged to aban- don their vessel, the Advance, as she was complete- Wy frozenin, and as Dr. Kane comsidered it cnsafe 20 pass another winter in her. From Washington we learn, by our special des. patch, that Mr. Mason, Minister to France, will be vecalled if he cannot satisfactorily explain his at- tendanee at the te deum in Notre Dame in tonor of the fail of Sebastopol. Great rejoicings are taking place among the administration people on account ef the recent election in Pennsylvania. The state- ments'that Mr. Buchanan has been instracted to request the recall of Mr. Crampton, and that a government agent had been despatched to Den- mark, with instructions to our representative to enter into new negotiations with that government im relation to the Sound dues, are denied. There were rumors about the courts yesterday that more city efficials were indicted by the Grand Jury and would be presented this morning. We re- frain from giving any of the names mentioned, in- asmuch as the presentment will clear up all doubts. In the Board of Aldermen last evening two some- what lengthy documents were presented—the report of the Committee on the Joseph Walker affair, and @ rather curious effusion respecting the Chief of Police. The former was ordered to be printed, and will be found in our report—the latter was ordered to sleep on the table. The Republican Nominating Committee met last night, but adjourned without making nominations, contrary to expectation. This party is divided into two central organizations, neither of whom mani- fest any disposition to fuse with each other or with the whigs. A German delegate meeting also met last night, to consider the propriety of coalescing with the fusion democrats. They appointed a com- mittee of nine, to consult with a similar committee of the Half Shell City and County Convention, to agree on a ticket to be nomirated at the meeting of the latter convention to-night. Onur reports of city politics are crowded ont this morning. A correspondence between the French Consul- General and Mayor Wood, in reference to a demand for $15 made by the Deputy Health Officer at Qua- rantine, on the French war steamer Grondeur, will be found under the head of “Mayor's Oftice.” The Mayor considers the demand unjust, and advises the Consul-General not to pay it. A massive gold medal, appropriately designed, ‘was presented to Captain Ingraham last night, at the Metropolitan Hotel, by the committee appointed at the great mass meeting held at Metropolitan Hall on September 2, 1853, to endorse and sustain his conduct in the celebrated rescue of Koszta from the Austrian officials at Smyrna, during the preceding month of July. Captain Ingraham responded in a brief address, explaining his conduct on that occa- sion. We are compelled to omit a full report to-day, from the pressure on our columns. The extensive steam flouring mills of Hecker & Brothers, situated at the foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, were entirely destroyed by fire yesterday morning. Among the property destroyed was 16,- 000 bushels wheat, 750 barrels flour, and 5,000 bush- els mill feed. The loss of the Messrs. Hecker amoants to about $60,000; insured for 339,500. The mass meeting intended to have been held by the liquor dealers at Syracuse, yesterday, turned out a failure. A reverend gentleman was announced to address a mecting at the City Hall, but the Mayor refased the Hall for the purpose. A procession of some two hundred persons marched through the streets at night, firing, &c., but no enthusiasm ap- pears to have been elicited. Accounts from Wisconsin state that tremendous inundations had taken place near Lake Winnebago and Fox river, and that large quantities of hay and grain had been ewept off. The flour market yesterday was easier, with re- @aced sales. Common and medium grades of State declined about 12} cents per barrel. Wheat was ir- regular and lower, with diminished transactions, buyers for export having paused in their purchases, The sales made indicated an irregular decline, ac- cording to quality and circumatances, of 2, 5 and 10 centa per bushel. Yet the sales reported could hardly be recognized as a fair criterion of the real state of the market. Indian corn advanced 2a 3 centa per bushel; and large sales of rye were made, on the spot and to arrive, at $1 35 a $1 40. Pork was firmer, and new mess closed at $22 50. The sales of cotton were confined to 800 a 900 bales, closing with more tone in the market. There was less do- ing in freights, without important change in quota- tions. Lap Srecvators AMonG TH8 OFFICIALS OF Newraska—The Nebraska City News has the following on the land speculating proclivities of Mr. Pieree’s Territorial officials :— ‘The fpresent national administration removed Gov. Reeder, they say, because le was guilty of fraudulent land speculations. And we are informed, by private let- ter from Washington city, that those speculations were ‘the sole cause ot his decapitation. We hope that such is the case, and we hope further, that President Pierce and his cabinet will continue to inyestigate the land specu- lations of all offciala in all Territories, not forgetting Nebraska, untit the last rotten rascal among them is “holed and smoked out.” If this administration has be- come so rigid and Andrew Jacksonish as to garrote the speculating officials who crawl over it, and eat into its reputation as magots crawl! over and eat into ca rion, we hope that its investigations may reach cer tain’ official robbers im this Territory; for, if the oli plots for cefrauding the people, and making money for themselves, which were planned by one, and have been carried out by wo oflicials in this Territory, during the past year, could be ripped up, the corruption would oore ont. This is very strong language, but the sub- ject, perhaps, requires it. We are afraid, how- ever, that as very little political capital can be made by disturbing the accused officials of Nebraska, they will be permitted to go on with their land speculations, Nebraska and Kansas ery yo diferent things, you know, -amship Union bronght us the cheer- #s yesterday of having spoken, at cight .ock in the morning, at sea, bound ia, the avctie vessels sent out in search of Dr. Kane, to wit: the bark Release and the propeller Arctic, under the command of Lieutenant H.

And so, this last adventure of Lieut. Hartstein of 1855, was for the relief and the humanity were the objects of all these expe- ditions, they have contributed and will contri- bute to science a highly creditable addition to the general stock of knowledge acquired of the Arctic regions, from the first adventure of Willoughby to the present day. And while De Haven, Kaneand Hartstein have thus serv- ed the common interests of mankind in the Arctic zone, Captain Wilkes has placed upon the page of history, in the name of the United States, the discovery of the Antarctic conti- nent. So that though last we are not the least in our voyages of discovery to the ends of the earth. From his successful voyage we welcome Lieut. Hartstein, and from his hazardous se- cond expedition among the icebergs and the long unearthly nights and rigid winters of the Arctic circle, we welcome our intrepid Kane. Long life to him and his companions. Newsparer Ounnina.—The devices of some of our young neighbors to get a notice from the Heratp are occasionally very amusing. On Tuesday, we published Commodore Stew- art’s protest against the proceedings of the Naval Board of 1846, We headed it as fol- lows:— The Naval Boar —Protest of “Old Ironsides"—solemn declaration and protest of Commodore Stewart, against the proceedings of a Board of Naval Officers assembled at ‘Washington, on July 21, 1816, —And the protest began in these words:— The Hon. Secretary of the Navy, in a communication to me, dated July 11, 1846, directed’ me to repair to Wash- ington, ‘‘to enable the department to avail itself of the advice of officers of experience.” A-small cotemporary of ours, who is more remarkable for windy articles than enterprise, alludes to the publication, and informs its readers that the document —was a very harmless letter written by Commodore Stewart nine 7ea"* ago, in reference toa Naval Board of Inquiry, of which he was the presiding officer, but which the Herat has very oddly supposed to refer to the action of the Naval Retiring Board, which concluded its business last month, What cunning rogues they are, to be sure, in that establishment on the corner! How they must have chuckled as they thought of the first rate advertisement which they would get from the Heranp in return for their playful little falsehood! Men that could devise such a sharp dodge as this are sure to succeed, no matter how people might despise them.

A convention of the Choctaws, or Notbings, was in session here to-day. the result, The Mass Liqnor Meeting at Syracuse. Syraccae, Oct. 11, 1855. The mass liquor meeting, intended to be held at Wict- ing Hall, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, was a failure. Many stayed over to attend the meeting, but fearing that none would take place, and the weather threatening rain, left for home at noon. Afterwards handbills were posted about the city announcing that the Rev. Mr. Lovejoy, 0 Massachusetts, would address a meeting at the City Hal at 7 o'clock. At that hour great bonfires were lighted in front of the City Hall, but failed to draw any great num- ver of people out. A small procession then paraded the streets, firing cannon till 9 P. M. Meanwhile the City Hall had not been lighted, and it was ascertained that the Mayor had refused the hall for the meeting. Some two hundred persons congregated at the Syracuse House, but Mr. Lovejoy preferred not to speak under the circum- stances, when the crowd dispersed, The Yellow Fever in Virgin Baurisons, Oct. 11, 1855. ‘The yellow fever has nearly disappeared from Norfolk and Portsmouth. ‘The Rey.

The numerous attempts which have been made to es- tablish the Italian Opera in this aty asa permanent institution having failed utterly, a great many people have been led to believe that there was no musical tasce among our people, That this isaltogether an erroneous, {m- pression there can be but little doubt; we desire, how ever, to prove its utter fallacy, by directing public attention to two establishments where the native Americars Opera, refined, elaborated, and highly colored, is given right after night to the gratification of the public and the profit of the managers, who have ne quarrels with their artists— no squabbles with the mewspapers—and who are thus saved from the trouble and expense of libel suits, and other legal and illegal ‘luxuries in which the more egotis- tie but Jess able empresarios of the Italian Opera in- dulge. We are very well ‘aware that fastidious people elevate their aristocratic noses at the African Opera, and call it a ‘perverted taste” for music which gives it the wide spread popularity which it enjoys. To such ladies and gentlemen we would say that music is the expression of melody, and in-whatever state the art may exist, a love If the people prefer simple ballads and sparkling choruses to the highly and the grand but rather slow combinations of the Ger- man schools, it is not because they cannot appre- it is because they prefer to hear that which pleases the fancy and touches the heart well sung, than to be bored with attempts at that which is impossible, under existing circumstances. That ix, they prefer to go to Wood’s or Buckley’s, where things are well managed—where the prima donna never throws up her part—where the tenor never has a cold, or goes out to dinner and drinks too much wine—where no apolo- gies for sudden attacks of “fever” are ever made—than to undertake the perilous journey to Fourteenth street, and run the risk of all the disagreeable contre temps which seem to be a necessity of the Opera, except when it is directed by the able and severe rule of a Wikoff. ‘then there are no oyster house critics at the Colored Opera; no solemn circle of gentlemen who im on the free list, and always grumble people that pay—no extra ex- penses for gloves, carriage hire or a lorgnette. ‘Two shil- lings for your ticket and one for a stage is the entire charge for this pleasant interview with the Sable for it cannot be called a perverted taste. wrought effects of the Italian masters, ciate high art, but come louder than the Muses. may say a few words. ing laurels and dollars other provincial parquette and a in Albany, towns.

Mr. G. §, Buckley gives a Broadway song, which is fall of local hits, and to which new verses are added every night. Mr. Buckley is the primo tenore of the troupe. He is s well educated artist, and sings with much taste and expression. His upper notes are clear, but lack volume, and he is sometimes careless in intonation. “Old Friends and Old Times,” a very pretty ballad, ix sung by Mz. Percival, the baritone. Mr. Percival isa capital artist, and has a full, round baritone voice, which he uses with skill. His rendering of ‘ As 1 view now these scenes so charming,” in the “Somnambula’’ burlesque, was excellent. In the second part we have a violin solo by Mr. F. Buckley, who is fit to take rank with the best performers on that much abused instrument. The opera burlesque closed the entertain. ment. Donizetti in black is really something new, and a daring achievement, with the souvenir of Alboni, Sontag and Anna Thillon fresh in the public mind, but the Buck- leys have been successful in it, Mist Millen, the prima donna, was quite clever as the vivanidiere, but should try to be more spirited. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, train- ed up toa range of two octaves. She sings correctly, but without much expression, and never indulges in extra- neous ornament. Mr. Percival, in the old colored ser- geant, was very good,and Mr. R. B. Buckley madea great deal of fan in the part of Hortensius, Mr. Buckley is the duffo parlante of this troupe, and ix one of the best come Alans we have ever seen. He is, like the race which he typifies, more humorous than witty, but his humor, though broad, is never vulgar. He is funny without seeming totry to be so. In the “Daughter of the Regi- ment,” at Buckley’s, we find all the best of the music preserved; the words are not much altered, but the inci. dents are Indicrously burlesqued. The choruses and the concerted music were given carefully, correctly and ef. fectively. The drill of the ‘Twenty-third’ was a capital hit at stage soldiers. We append a few specimens of comic songs.

The audience is purely an American one, nicely dressed, quiet, polite, and often quite fashionable. The stage is amply large enough for the purposes for which it is used. The scenery is all new and done by the best artists at the regular theatres. The landscapes are much finer than those at Fourteenth street, where the water and sky are of the same color, with a shade resembling the blue tinge peculiar to Orange county milk, from—the street. ‘The proscenium is prettily decorated, and there is a light, cheerful air Buckley De o farewell, farewell, “Bo take care ob yourself, my dear.

They also went to Calitornia in 1852, and gave concerts at the mines, at three dollars a ticket.

The seats are so arranged that a good view proscenium, These, as well as the ladies’ dressing room, are glorious in rosewood, brocatel, Brussels and lace. theatre, The act drop represents allegorically the power of music, and is very well executed. The house is well ventilated, and has spacious aisles and lobbies.

Curtain raises at half-past seven o'clock. “the artista number some twelve or fifteen, and are all give full expression to the sentimental’ ballads. Mr. baritone, is also a good singer. Mr. Christy is quite equal to any of the first rate comedians, in his way, and is the beau ideal of the sharp, witty Southern negro, who is wise in his own conceit, and loves to use big words without un- derstanding their meaning or being properly instructed in their pronunciation. In telling # story he is inimi‘a- ble. In fact, there is mach more in his way of telling a joke than in the joke itself. In consequence of this cir- cumstance, his imitators are always ingloriously crushed by the genius of the great original. Mr. Wood has some clever dancers in his troupe, and Master Eugene is very clever in this way. This young man has also a high, flexible tenor voice and a great deal of facility in the use of the falsetto, His imita- tion of a song by a peripatetic female Tuetonic artist on the hand organ is exceedingly godd. We have not space to particularize other salient points in the programme, and close with some specimens of ballads peculiar to Wood's. In “Nancy Till,” the colored lover is supposed to have been engaged in serenading his mistress; she does not, however, appear, and he closes with the following ad- vie Farewell, love, I must away, Pye along way to travel before the break of day ; But the next time I come be ready, love, to go, A sailing on the banks of the Ohio. cuorRvs, Come love, come, the boat lies low; She lies high and dry on the Ohio ; Come love, come; won't you go along with me? Pl take you down to Tennessee. Da Capo, Mr. Christy also sings @ popular ballad earnestly re- questing some unknown person to “wait for the wagon,” as a necessary prelude to taking a ride. It is decidedly Auber-ish in its light and graceful movement, and is a great favorite in the Fifth avenue soirées musicales. “Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair,” the principal tenor song in the above programme, is decidedly not a negro melody. It is a delicate romansa, wherein the gen- tle tenor laments long for “Jeannie with the day-dawn smile,” who ems to have been too good for this mun- dane sphere, and to have died out suddenly. The music is very clever, but the least said about the words the bet- ter for the poet. But the music is the thing to be lookel to chilly. ‘The native American comic opera pays. Since Mr. Wood opened his new hall the receipts have gveraged $250 per night, which is more than one hundred per cent profit. Buckley's will hold twelve hundred persons, and is al- most always crowded, Mr. Edward P. Christy, the pio- neer in this style of opera, has retired upon an ample fortune, with all pleasant things about him— Such as love, honor, obedience, Troops of friends. These things show that the American people will sup- port an opera of their own, even if it is colored. When they get a good white opera, at a fair price, they will support that, too, vide the success of Miss Louisa Pyne and her condjutors. So, in the face of all these tacts, on’t let anybody say we are not a musical people. ‘Tre Davewter or THe Recount at Burvoy’s,—Miss Rosalie Durand, who is termed ‘The American Prima Donna’ in the bills, made her debut last evening ax Marie, and received the applanse of a respectable audi- ence, who seemed somewhat astenished at the superior way in which Manager Burton placed this well known opera on the stage. The scenery was new—so wore the dresses, good and appropriate. “The Regiment ” never looked so well in New York, and sung in excellent time aodtune, The Iady’s voice charmed the musical dilet- tanti, who mustered ia strong numbers. She was called out at the end of the first act, and recefved the same compliment at the termination of the opera, The music lesson and salut were encored, amid a shower of bouquets. In short, the performance created a sensation, and Mine Rosalie may be reckoned as a fixed success. She will prove a trump card in the musical comedies and bur- lesques which Mr, Burton intends to produce, “John is’ ie underlined, with the manager, Miss Rosalie Durand and other favorites, in the cast. © Nine, JOHNSON’?
