The British naval steam yatch Syren, Captain Smith, arrived at this port yesterday from Bermuda, after a passage of four days. She brought Licut. Richardson, of the Indus, the flagehip of the British Weet India squadron, who left this city last evening for Washington, with important despatches from Sir Houston Stewart, the commander of the squad- ron, addressed to the British Minister, Lord Napier. These despatches relate to the recent outrages of the British cruisers upon our vessels in the Gulf and in Cuban ports. We haye ascertained that the condact of the commanders of the cruisers has in- curred the disapprobation of the British Admiral, who has issued directions for his subordinates to be more circumspect in future. So far as Sir Houston Stewart is concerned, we are assured there will be no further canse of complaint. ‘The steamship Philadelphia arrived from Hovana yesterday morning, with advices dated on the 9th instant. The British War ship Devastation had called at Havana with despatches from Admiral Stewart on the subject of the naval outrages. The exact purport of the papers did not transpire, bat it was thought that orders for the cessation of the action of the gunboat officers had been sent to the Galf of Mexico. Our Havana correspondent far- nishes the particalars of the boarding of the Ameri- can ship Reliance, as well as some additional facts relative to the late outrages at Sagna la Grande. The United States steamers Water Witch and Falton were at Havana. Commander Rodgers, of the Water Witch, had had an interview with General Concha, who assured him that he approved of the attitude assumed by Mr. Buchanan to- wards the English cruisers. It was reported that Commodore Rodgers, after consultations with Lient. Pym, of the gunboat Jasper, and the British Consul General, and Captain Walker, of the Devas- tation, thought that many of the American cap- tains were to blame in not showing their colors quietly, and that the aflair was not #0 bad after all. Lieut. Almy, of the Fulton, had landed with a batch of books containing, it was thought, the laws of the “right of search.” Twenty cargoes of daves had been landed in Havana since March last, and in no instance had the English war vessels inter- cepted them. It is again asserted that the squadron acts under orders issued to the ships on the African coast in 1849. The Grand Dake of Mecklenburg, cousin to Queen Victoria, had arrived in Havana, on his way to New York. Colonel Kinney had left for New Orleans. Sugars were firm. Freights were dal. Sterling exchange on New York and Boston was at fi to 13 per cent premium. The Uni States sloop-of-war Cofistellation railed from the lower bay yesterday for the Gulf. One of our correspondents, writing from St. Do- mingo City on the 24th ult., announces the safe arrival at that port of the steam frigate Colorado, The performance of the vessel daring this, her first voyage, either under canvas or steam, was fully equal to that of any other ship of her class in the navy. Col. Harrison, the venerable United States Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, died at that place on the ‘24th ult. Fall details of late and important uews from Mexi- co are given in today's paper. More extended re- ference to the intelligence is made in the editorial columns. The mail for Hamburg and Germany, to be des patched by the steamship Hammonia, will close this morning at half-past ten o'clock. Letters, pre- paid or not, must be marked per Hamburg steamer, and be deposited in the Post Office. ‘The postage to Hamburg is ten cente, and to the interior of Ger- many from fifteen to twenty-two cents, per letter of one-quarter ounce. At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen last eve- ning & leagthy report was received from the Street Commissioner's office, describing minutely the con- dition of the various police station houses, and sug. gesting such improvements and additions as are con sidered necessary to render the buildings suited to the purposes for which they are-intended. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening. The report of the Committee on Finance, in favor of appropriating $500,000 to the Central Park Commissioners, was made the special order for Wednesday. A committee of five was appointed, to act im conjunction with a similar committee of the Aldermen, to make arrangements for the celebration of the Fourth of July, and $5,000 appropriated for that purpose. The resolution directing the Comp troller to appropriate $5,000 to defray the expenses of the Joint Committee on Accounts, who are en- gaged in developing frands committed apon the tax payers, was called op, bat defeated by a member succeeding in carrying a motion to adjourn. The | Board meet again thie evening. In the Sapreme Court, special term, yesterday, Jadge Sutherland presidinggan order was issued ap pointing William Anderson. Moses Ely and Thomas Fitzgerald, Commissioners on the opening and exten- sion of Chambers street. The joint committee of the Common Council having in charge the consideration of the removal of President Monroe's remains from their present rest- ing place in Second street cemetry to Virgina, held @ prelininary meeting yesterday in the City Hall. ‘The session, however, was private and none of the Proceedings were permitted to transpire. A despatch from Washington states that General Scott has received despatches from Utah of five days later date than those transmitted by Governor Cumming. They represent that the Governor has been deceived by the Mormons; that atter they had removed their women and children from Salt Lake City the men returned, strengthened their defensive Positions, and assumed a threatening attitude. The news is regarded as reliable. The soldiers under General Johnston were on short allowance of food. Captain Maroy was within six daysYof Camp Scott at last accounts. Both honses of Congress finally adjourned at six o'clock last evening. All the appropriation bills, except, we believe, the one providing for light- houses, were passed and received the sanction of the President. The appropriations amount to eighty millions of dollars, and perhaps they will reach a larger sum; but it is impossible to ascertain the amount with accuracy until the confusion inci- dental upon the close of the session has subsided. Among the appointments confirmed by the Senate yesterday were those of Collector Schell and Navy Agent Sanders. All the New York nominations have thus successfully passed the Senate. The friends of Mr. Schell last evening gave expression to their gratification by firing a salute in the Park, making congratulatory speeches, and by other usual modes of popular rejoicing. A terrible catastrophe happened on the Missia- sippi river on Sunday morning. The steamboat Penn- sylvania, of Pittsparg, while on the way from New Orleans to St. Louis, when at Ship Island, about seventy-five miles below Memphis, exploded her boilers, caught fire and burned to the water's edge. Of three hundred and fifty persons on board, if is believed at least one hundred perished, while of those saved nearly all were more or leas injured. The names of the saved and of the lost, as far as could be ascertained, are given in our despatch under the telegraphic head. The case of Cancemi, charged with the murder of policeman Anderson, has assumed a different aspect. Mr. Blankman, counsel for the defence, and three other witnesses, testified yesterday that the rag picker volunteered his services and importuned them for money to leave the country before the present trial. Mr. Blankman refused, and the testimony clearly refutes the allegation of any offer of money on the part of the counsel for the prisoner to pur- chase the rag picker, towards whom the defence now points with something more than suspicion as being himself implicated in the murder. The trial of Martin Dowd for the murder of John Dooley, at East Twenty-fourth street, on the 7th of February, is progressing slowly in the Court of Gene- ral Session. Four witnesses were examined yester- day for the prosecution, giving a minute account of the affray in which the deceased (as is alleged) was stabbed with a sword cane by the prisoner. The case will be continued this morning. There was a large meeting of the citizens of the Seventeenth ward last evening at the Norfolk street Methodist chapel, “in relation to the expulsion of the Bible from the public schools of some of the wards of this city, thereby encouraging the growth of crime and depravity among the juvenile popula- tion.” Dr. J. K. Bigelow was called to the chair, and addresses were delivered by Dr. Rees, Col. Snow, Gen. Lloyd and others, and appropriate re- solutions in support of the object of the meeting having been adopted the meeting separated. ‘The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 750 bales, without quotable change in prices. Owing to recent ad- ‘vices from the South, bolders uauifested mere urmness, and were lees disposed to press sales. By reference to an extract of @ letter toa respectable house in this city, from @ source the reliability of which it vouches for, received yesterday from Memphis, dated Juno 9th, published in another colamn, it would soem that the writer's estimate of the loss sustained by cotton planters, ‘wm consequence of the floods, reaches a much higbor figure than others had beea led to suppose, or say about 200,000 bales, which many cealers, however, in the ab- sence of further asd more geners! accounts, con siger too high, though all concur in the belicf that the injury bas been both extensive and serious. The four market was quite active, and the sales for the cay footed up about 18,000 a 20,000 bbis, closing op Common and medium grades at an advance of about 6c. por barrel. Wheat was active and firmer, with salos of about 50,000 a 60,000 bushels at rates given in another column. Corn was also firm, with a fair amount of sales. ‘The excessive wet weather in the interior and over the ‘West bas wo some extent marred, for the present, the pros- pects of a large yield of Indian corn. Much ef this grain was destroyed at the West last autumn by rotting in the elds or in barns, and should the present year's yield be curtailed, it will be felt in our principal markets. Earope, and cspecially Great Britain, has learned the value of In- dian corn, aad hence the growers have a wider consump tive demand for it than formerly. The unseasonable chilly and wet westher on the crop prospects generaliy ‘wae not without ite influence yesterday at the Corn Ex change. A dood deal of the business done was on specu- lation, with a good demand for export. Pork was heavy and lower. Sales of mess was made at $17 a $17 10, mostly at the inside figure, and of prime at $14. Coffee was quiet. Freight: were unchanged except for grain to Liverpool, about 26,000 bushels of which were taken in Dags at 6d., and mbout 4,000 bbis. floar at Is. 64., with cheese st 266. Some freight was also engaged to Gias- gow, London and to the continent at steady rates. Mr, Buchanan's Administration—Its Sac coases—Its Enemies and its Supporters tn Congress. With the closing of the present session of Congrees we can begin to comprehend what bas been accomplished within the first sixteen months of Mr. Buchanan’s administration. Its practical results within this interval are greater, better, more comprehensive, and more decisive than all the work done by poor Pierce and Fillmore put together. These results em- brace the practical settiement of the Mormon question, the Kansas question, and the virtual settlement, not only of our tral American embarrasementa, but also of the right of search fn reference to the African slave trade. The Mormon difficulty, the Kansas en- tanglement, and the Central American imbrog- lio, were among the legacies transferred to Mr. Bachanan by Pierce and Fillmore; and it was generally conceded in the outset, that if Mr. Buchanan could bring these formidable and complicated troubles to a definite solution daring his term of office he would be remarkably for- tunate. The real origin of the Mormon trouble was the appointment of Brigham Young as Gover: nor of the Territory of Utah by Mr. Fill- more, This was equivalent to the official recognition of Mormon sovereignty, Mormon polygamy, and all attendant abomina- tions by the federal government. But this grave mietake of Mr. Fillmore might have been readily corrected by his immediate suo- cessor, in the dismissal of Young and his Mor- mon subordinates in the Territorial executive government, and in the substitution of disoreet andcompetent men. Mr. Pierce, however, had too many other {rons in the fire; and, with the failure of a little army movement to Great Salt Lake, Brigham Young was quietly left the ab- solate dictator of the Merritory. Thus en- couraged and stimulated, the abominations of Mormondom ripened rapidly, so that when Mr, Buchanan entered the White House he imme diately saw that nothing would be competent to abate thie Mormen nuisance but a new corps of executive Territorial officers, under an escort of a strong detachment of the army. In thifcon- nection our readers are familiar with the events NEW YURK HKKALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1868. which have followed the aotive policy at oace adopted by the administration; aad we mey now congratulate them, in consequence of this decisive line of action, upon the early evacua- tion of the United States by the whole Mormon community. Thus much for the Mormon difficulty, planted by Mr. Fillmore and stimulated by the feeble wirby wathy policy of poor Pierce into a moa- strous, cruel, abhorreat, fanatical and rebel- Mur despotism. It vanishes at the touch of a determined and decisive administration The Kapeas question was astill more formi- dable and difficult thing to deal with, Intro duced as 8 Presidential experiment by Mr. Dovglas, and greedily snapped up by poor Pierce, that Kaneas-Nebraska bill had indeed proved a Pandora's box to the democratic party. With the advent of Mr. Buchanan the contro- versy had ripened into the most delicate and alarming sectional quarrel that buman is- genuity could invent. But ke saw that a de- cisive policy and a resolute purpese would alone meet the exigencies of the case, and his policy and his purpose were quickly defined. After five months of incessant agitation in Con- sgress, of cross purposes and factious opposition, we at last find the President's policy substan- tially triumphant, and this whole Kaasas busi- nees transferred and confined to the people of Kansas, with whom it properly belongs, And the most remarkable thing in aH this Congres- sional agitation of the Lecompton constitution is the fact, that in some shape or other that constitution has the recorded votes in its favor of every man, of every party and every faction, with scarcely a solitary exception in cither house. Thus much for the Kansas question. It threatened a four years war of sections and factions, the destruction of the administration and all concerned; but it is now so quiet that we scarcely hear anything more of it than of the Northern-Eastern boundary or the Oregon dispute. And it isto Mr. Buchanan’s resolute purpose to have this thing settled that the country is indebted for this pacification. We see that it works like a charm, and we all feel that the trouble is over. The Central American entanglement inherited by Mr. Buchanan was as complicated as the late Russian war. What with Clayton Bulwer treaties and Monroe doctrines, and British in- terpretations And violations thereof, Greytown bombarbments, Walker filibustering govern- ments, Mosquito protectorates, Hondaras colo- nies, wrangling steamship Transit monopolies, and conflicting local authorities, it was difficult to conjecture where to begin to sottle these Central American complications; but Mr. Bu- chanan began at once with the filibusters, and having put them out of the way, the coast was clear. The doctrine of non-intervention being thus faithfally applied, the field was opened for a fair understanding with each of the Central American States and with all foreign Powers concerned, perfectly consistent with the rights of local sovereignty and the obligations of inter- national law. Thus mach for the Central Ame- rican imbroglio. It is substantially settled, and by @ process as simple as that of Columbus with the cae: But the most remarkable fect in jon with this Mormon question, this Kansas diffi- culty, and this Central American web of en- tanglements, is the fact that, in the work of their solution, Mr. Buchanan has had to contend with the moet disorganized, demoralized and factious Congress in the history of the country. With a decided party majority in both houses, and with a violent opposition party arrayed against him, the successes of the administration upon the Kansas question, the Mormon question, Cen- tral American affairs, and other important questiens, are due to the incidental support of opposition members, Thus the Deficiency bill, which was at first defeated in the House by de- mocratic votes, was finally passed by opposition votes; thus the original Army bill was defeated in the Senate by the opposition of Mr. Toombs, and other factious and sectional democratic dis- organizers, while Mr. Seward was among its moet active supporters; and thus the modified Volunteer bill of Mr. Quitman was passed in the House by opposition votes. Thus; by demoora- tic malcontents, the Kansas squabble would still have been upon the carpet but for the interven. tion of some opposition members in behalf of peace, Thus, too, but for the convictions of right and justice, which had their weight with the oppoaition, the administration, perhaps, would have been rebuked for failing to support the expelled General Walker as the rightful dictator of Nicaragua. We may, therefore, well regard the great achievements of the administration thus far as very remarkable, inasmuch as they are due, not to the discipline, harmony and unity of the de- mocratic majority of Congress, but to the sense of right and justice which has governed, upon this measure and that, a sufficient opposition bal- ance of power to carry them against the factious deserters from the administration. Here, then, we perceive what may be accomplished by a firm and resolute President, governed by prin- ciples of justice and right, in spite of a rebel- lious, disorderly and intractable party majo- rity in Congress. Upon wise and needfal mea- sures of legislation, where his own party may fail, the right minded and patriotic of the op- position camps will come to the rescue. Thus Mr. Buchanan has done well, because his mea- eures have been fair, just, needful and proper; and thus, upon the important work of the regu- lation of the financial embarrassments of the government and the country, we have no doubt he will be amply sustained in the general policy of relief and reform which he has foreshadowed. This will be the great work of his admin- istration; but from the coolness, prudence, coursge and decision of character which he has exhibited, we fecl assured that he will neither shrink from the task, nor enter upon it without mature deliberation. Tue Case or Hexry Dwiont—No Fovan Decision Yet.—Judge Russell delivered an ela borate opinion yesterday, in the case of Mr. Hon- ry Dwight, charged with perjury in the matter of an answer sworn to by him in a suit brought by Brown, Brothers & Co., against himself and wife, to foreclose a mortgage on their country seat at Barrytown. The public are no doubt familiar with the facts of these criminal charges against Mr. Dwight. They have attracted much attention, a8 being calculated to unravel many mysteries connected with the management of railroads and corporations generally, which have acquired additional interest since the late financial revulsion. Judge Russell decided at first that there wae probable cause to belief Mr. Dwight guilty, and he would therefore hold him to answer at the next General Sessions, in twenty-five hundred dollars bail. Mr. Stoughton, however, (Dright's couneel,) aeked leave to put im come documenta- ry evidence to prove that the eriginal answer which contained the alleged perjary had never been used ; that ithad beem abandoned by an order from Judge Davies; that no issue bad ever been taken on- it; no decree obtained under it—in ehort, that it made no part of the proceedings in the euit at all, and therefore could not be considered material. As mate- riality was necessary condition in. order to constitute perjury, and as the Judge had Awelt on that point with great force, counsel for the defence thought that record évidence upon it was material to a fair adjudication of the onse. Judge Russell agreed with Mr. Stoughton, and accepted the evidence for consideration, sus pending at the same time a final disposition of the case, and not holding Mr. Dwight to bail at present. In this condition the matter stands untit Monday next, when a final decision will be rendered, and a charge of conspiracy to commit frond against Dwight, Spencer and Hotchkiss, in the matter of the lease to Hamilton Spencer of the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad, will be takenup. This new charge will undoubtedly bring out some interesting deveiopements. ‘The News from Merteo— Present and Proap:o Uve Ohanges Thee. Our excellent arrangements for the trans- mission of intelligence from Mexico enables us to publish this morning, several days in anticipation of the rogular mails, the full details of the news brought to New Orleans by the steamship Tennessee. The advices are of significative importance, as will be found in the full particulars in another column. It will be seen that our Minister, Mr. Forsyth, has differed from all his colleagues of the diplomatic corps, and pursued a course in relation to the imposition of the forced taxation loan upon foreign residents in Mexico which is not only correct in its prin- ciple, but which wil probably save all the foreign population of that republic from the system of robbery which the Zuloaga govern- ment endeavored to establish in the prosecu- tion of the internecine struggle. Mr. Otway, the British Minister, had not taken so bold a stand as Mr. Forsyth, but he had declined to give bis assent to the proposed taxation of the British subjects until he had consult- ed his government. The non-assent of tho two Ministers had induced the government to suspend for three months the proposed measure, which was considered to be equi- valent to its total abrogation. In this matter Mr. Forsyth has not only acted rightly, but by his action he has shown the true influence which the American legation possesses in Mexico, and which should ever be exercised for the benefit not only of our own citizens but of all others. We trust that his course in relation to the purchases by our citizens of church proporty from the late government in Mexico will be equally energetic, and that both measures will meet the prompt and public approval of the government at Washington. By so doing the moral power of our legation in Mexico will be greatly strengthened, and the action of the government will far towards assisting the re-establishment of ordor in thet ropublic. The position taken by the French and Guatemalan representatives is intended to sustain the Zulo- aga government, of which, in fact, they are the strongest supporters. It is their policy to fas- ten the reactionary system upon that govern- ment; and in doing this they are only perpetu- ating the internal struggles of the republic, for the country has made too great progress teward liberal institations to be now sat back into servilism by a few intriguers and priests. It will be seen from the tenor of the news that the report we published some time since on the actual condition of the republic is being borne out in all its statements and deductions. The_country is disintegrated; robbery is pre- ponderant on every side ; the civil war is as suming a bloody character, and the resources of both the contending parties are becoming daily lees equal to the task of restoring order. In this state of affairs the question of American intervention is becoming more pressing than ever, and seems to be the only hope of the Mexican people. One of our correspondents states that even Santa Anns has adopted this solution of the problem of the future of Mexico, and that it was supposed he would again come imto power. His agents, who were captured at Tampico, having escaped from Garza, were busily intriguing to that end, and one of them had gone to St. Thomas to invite him to go to Tampico. A supposition prevails that some change must soon take place in the capital, and acon of President Iturbide was suggested asa probable successor of Zuloaga. The only thing that is evident in the present condition of Mexico is, that our government should soon decide upon the policy it will pursue in rela- tion to that republic, and send out there at once fit persons to carry it out. Tue Scvpay Press anv Tue Puanwres.—An obscure and ignorant journal professes to find In the columns of the Sunday press a tendency to Infidelity and irreligion ever since the cry- ing of papers on Sunday was stopped by the authorities, This arises from the tendency to confusion which pervades some minds. The obsoure journal in question evidently knows no distinction between religion and the churches, and ignorantly imagines that censure of the latter implies disbelief in the former. In fact, there is but little direct analogy between rell- gion and the churches, or between Christianity and the priesthood. The churches are human corporate institutions, necessarily liable to all the failings and errors which characterise hu- manity, Many of them appear to have no higher aim than the acquisition of money. Others devote themselves to the publication and sale of books. The chief object of others is the acquisition of landed property. Ali are, or have been, or may be some day corrupt and demoralized. Religion, on the contrary, is a pure sentiment, planted in the breast of man by the Divine Creator, and untainted with any sensual or debasing appetite. To say that a person or a paper aesajils religion because he censures corrupt or unwise conduct on the part of one or more of the churches, is as absurd as it would be to charge one with a hatred of democracy because he denounced the conduct of a shoulder hitter at » primary meeting The silly attempt of a few hypocrites to de- prive the people of this metropolis of their ao- customed Sunday paper, by preventing the ory- ing of papers in the streets on that day, may well provoke the strictures not only of the Sun- day but of all other newspapers which are not under the control of the clergy; but it is not true that the journals whieh denounce this ridiculous picce of humbug are attacking reli- ‘They are, on the contrary, helping the eausg of tug religion mugh more than the sion Pharisces whe are trying te make the very Dame of it distastefal. There oan be mo reason why each congrega- tioa should not preserve peace aad quiet in the vicinity of ite own church during service; the pe- lice would readily lend their aid to such an end. But to deprive every one of what has be- come a necessity, rather than a luxury, ia order that a few canting hypocrites may plume them- selves on their zeal in the cause of religion, is too outrageous to last long. Such Schafferisms, and Harperiams and Hoeiems may have their day; but it will be short of its kind. Laren rrom Saur Lage Orry—Taw Mor- mons FortirymG tHem Posts.—Despatohes which have reached General Scott, and which are said to be five days later in date than those received by the President, bring us the an- nouncement that the Mormons, after sending away their women and childrem, had returned to Salt Lake, and were fortifying their poste. Thie, it should be recollected, is army news, and as there is a difference of opinion between Governor Cumming and General Johnston as to the course to be purened to bring these fanatics to terms, it should be received with a qualifioa- tion. The letters that we have been lately re- ceiving from the partisans of both have par- taken so largely of their respeotive views that this reserve is justified. At the same time there is nothing in this statement which is incon- sistent either with the expectations of Governor Cumming or the policy and de- clarations of the Mormon leaders, In fortifying hia chief points of resistance Brigham Young is only carrying out his expressed intention of not suffering the army to enter Salt Lake City, whilst his friendly recep- tion of Governor Cumming would go to show that he still hopes to effect a peaceable solution of the difficulty, If this cannot be obtained on favorable terms, there is no doubt that he will burn and destroy every vestige of the Mormon settlements before proceeding southward. Whatever, however, may be the purpose of the Mormon leaders—whether they are sincere or notin their professions to Governor Cumming— the Executive has but one course to pursue. The military operations should be pushed for- ward with as much decision and vigor as if no negotiations were on foot. The army should proceed at once to Salt Lake City, and make itself master of it without reference to the threats of Brigham Young or his pretended deference to the civil power. It is only in this way that the cunning tactics of the Mormon leaders can be defeated, and the Territory promptly reduced to submission. New Goip Discoverms.—It turns out that there is after all truth in the stories which have been circulated about the new discoveries of gold on Frazer’s river and several points on the Pacific. There seems to be no reason to doubt that ere long these new gold countries will be adding their rivuletto the stream of precious metal which flows twice a month from San Francisco to New York. The event may possess considerable importance. An addition of twenty millions a year to the gold prodact of the United States would help the country very materiully to revive from the effects of last year’s revulsion. ‘Tun Orxna.—The “Trovatore’’ was the opera last night; and, as usual, attracted a very good house. The cxst of characters was the same as on the previous per- formance of the opera, which representation was noticed im detail in the columns of the Hxnatp. On Wednesday “Linda di Chamountx” is emnounced, with the full strength of the company, and Mme. de Gezzaniga as Linda—one of her Guest representations. “Sappho” will Bowron’s Taxarrx.—Mr, and Mrs. Clarence Holt made their début in America at this bouse last night in the Eng- Ush version of the woll known Preach drama, “Belphe- gor.”’ The principal parts, as well as the plot are extra melodramatic and very effective. Mr. and Mrs. Holt wore extra melodramatic and effective, and therefore, gave a good representation of the principal roles. Mr. Holt is somewhat too much given to “‘attudinizing,”’ if we may be permitted to use « word not yet recognized by the lexicographors; but is stil bold, maaly and original in producing bia effects. He made a favorabie impression ‘last night, and will improve upon acquaintance. Mx. Jawts’s Concert.—Tho concert for the benefit of this accomplished planiat takes piace this evening at Dod. worth’s Academy, Amongst the artists who will appear on this occasion are Mesdames Carador), Zimmerman and Do Lussan; Horr Formes, Horr (Anschutz, aad a large array of vocal and instrumental talent. Mr Janiz, though « young man, has established « well merited re- putation ix his profession, amd as be is always ready te contribute his services to the cause of the pubiic chart es, it sto be hoped that his concert will be liberally patronized.
