. • mater• concerned. It Is difficult at the present '"'merit to estimate the nature anti extent of that' ititereri • hut whatever may be its mstviitude, we fell sensibly that ts.-..4a,„;1y and hourly increasing. The present review (la t h e p o li t i ca l an d c0m0a .,.. cirri relations of the united ►te „ is tilde to the Government, and ifis,,idys a flattering picture of a young and ardent State, rim►, * otr vigo. roue wings to emulate the boldest flights of any arr. 'Arta or modern empire. Its . actual enjoyments seem, b►• their extent, to he the more certain harbinger of future greatness ; and there is in its progress such a happy union of wisdom mud consistency, forbearance and metriartimity, mo deration and energy, all happily blended, and each operating with felicitous propriety, that its success appears to be insured almost beyond the control of fortune, and the influence of foreign hostility. The Message commences With the Proud boast, Ant at no period of their political indepen dence had the States greater cense to felicitate them 'selves on their happiness and prosperity. The har vest has beets abondinet, the revenoe unaheally pro ductive, public credit had inereased, their military power had been greatly augmented, and their Go ve►nmeht had 'Acquired ni•* and *increased strength in the interests and affections of the people. In the review of their foreign relations, we perceive with pleasure that an and conciliatory spirit prevails in the negociatioas between this country nod the Polled States. The naval strength or both Powers on ttie I.lttt trern itifiticed to the pus session, MI el t hir side, (lone or two vessels, erased with only one cat n ►on—an arrangement wherein all imam di.ste Insteful expenditure, ■nd the fruitful airtime, of future contest, have been equally avoided. The boundaries between the two Miters have not yet been ascertained, but the islands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy have been happily adjudged to the respective proprietors of them previous to the late hostilities. A proposition made by the American Government to our Minisiers to extend the principles of the Contrention of London to the British Colonies, mid to establish a corn. mercial equality between the Colooial ports and those of the United States, has been rejected by the British Cabinet. If this proposition went to destroy the monopoly of the Colonial trade en joyed by Great Britain, «e do not conceive that it could he entertaiued for r moment, iinlesi accost)• prettied by certain stipulations on the part of the Cohmists, to which they might not be very willing to moment. The contest between Spain and her American Cuknurs is noticed, with a grin determination of on the pirt of tliff United States, a strict neutrality between the parties. The mission of three Citizens of the Union to the Southern Pio vinces, whose departure had given rise to massy ape relations, seems to have had no other object than to olnuiii correct inforniation on every subject in which the United States are interested ; to inspire just sentiments in all persons in authotity, on either side, of our (the United States) friendly disposi tions, as far as it may comport dith an impartial neutrality ; and to secure proper respect to our commerce in eveey I►tftn4', and , from every flag."— This latter purpose appears to he peculiarly impe rative on the Govern'tient. for in the shock of the adverse powers, the commerce and Rig of the Unit ed States were insulted and outraged by the pri vateers of both partied, but particularly by those winch had been lilted out by the nondescript ernments established in Amelia. Island, at the mouth of St. biary'll river, and Galveston, in the Gov of Mexico. To both of these places, how ever, the United States claim the right of property, either by actual or expected cession, and induced by tine, as tell us the paramount consideration of what is due to the rights and interests or their com merce, the Gove 11111 l ent of the United States has ordered the immediate suppression Oithese dais of pirates and freebooters. But there is no cirenntstarleet of greater interest in this statement, then the expose of the finances of the Union. The victual receipts its the Tren surc fur the ensuing year ore estimated at 24400,000 dollars; while the annual 'remanent exproditure for the support of the Civil Government, and of the Army mild Nary, StllCHlnt4 only to 11,1100,000 %killers. The Sucking Fund amounts to 10.000,000 dollar,. making the whole dhibintretients .2 I ,sOO,OOO dollars ; arid thus leaeittg an annual ereess of re venue beyond the expeisditute of 24'00,000 dollars, esclusive of a balance of more than six William of dollars remaining in the l'reastry. after Whey. all the expenditure- of the last year, pay iri!• the interest of the deli% and' extinguishing inure than eighteen ttzilliow of the principal ! To prose to demonsttation that all this is nut a deceptious statement, twining only on paper, o of, like certain financial staternetits which it is our fortune sometime* to Witness, and our duty to expose, calculated to betray. into error a credulous people, the PRESIDCW? concludes his Message to Congress by recommending au iminediale tcllllolo4l ilf the internal taxes.

GRAND JEWISH WEDDING. • On Tuesday a matrimoMal ceremony of unusual novelty took place tit Mr. Meek's extensive rooms, Brewer -street. Golden-square. The happy couple were, 4r. Jacob Valentine, jour, sou to Mr. J. Valentine, tile famed Hebrew, hard, and Miss I,,evy. of Bailibone-obsce, Oxford-road, a young lady of amiable qualities. At, squint three u'cluds in the afternoon, several carriages drove to the door, with a number of distinguished personages, who at tended to witness the cereinorry ; among whom we noticed Sir G. Cockburn, heft. accompa n ied by his nephew ; Lady G. Giirdon, Lady Franklin, and several others. Accoiiliuq to ancient Jewish custom, previous to the ceremony, the bride groom signs an obligation which binds him to pro tect the female during Isis life ; and the father and brother, or brother,. Ingo another, which hind them also to protect her after her husband's death, Iti case of the deniise of the 11114 , i:rod without issue. This beiOg concluded, the ceremony commenced as fol lows grand canopy, supported by four near Mortises, was held up in the middle of the room, the top being covered with rich satin, bordered with gold. 'rhe bride was conducted into the room by the mothers of the couple, dres;ed in white satin. The bridegroom was their con ducted in the same manner by the fathers, during which a private hand that attended pla y ed solemn music. The bride and b r id egroom being placed under the canopy, the Priest, the Rev. Dr. Leo, commenced the ceremony, by chaunting some Hebrew prayers. The bride, at a certain part, be iug presented with a glass of wine, s h e drank it— and shortly after the bridegroom, agreeing to the same form, put the wedding ring on her middle linger, and the Priest chawited other prayers. at the conclusion of which the bride, who still held the glass irt her hand, put it on the ground and broke it, by treading on it, being in commemoration of the destroction of Jerusalem. The ceremony being concluded, the company re tired to an adjoining apartment, and received the congratulation's of all present. At five re clock, dinner being announced, the happy couple were conducted to the d g-room, the band playing, " 0, the Roast Reef of 01,1 Eaghaal," and seated at the head of the table, the bridegroom being sup ported by Admiral Sir George Cockburn, Bart. The company consisted of about eighty persons, Christians and Jews. The dinner consisted of every delicacy of the season, with wines and' fruits Of the rarest kind and firma flavour. The cloth *eine re moved, grace was chatinted by the. Rev. Dr. Leo,in the Hebrew language, after which several exceileut songs were sung by Messrs. Bryant; Cohen, and Williams, the former of whom sting the much-ad mired song of balky A'ellg, in erieellentsiiile. which met with gre a t appl aus e; th e b an d aftertiratils played several fine tunes. At eight o'clock the ladies retired to the ball-room, and dancing com menced about nine, when jigs, minuets, reels, 'tithes, and country dance's were performed ; aminigst the dancers were many professional gentleinen, among whom we particularly noticed Monsieur Le Clercq ; the apartments were tastefully lighted up with a sibrlaber of or-mole, and two brilliant dia mond-cut drop glass chandeliers. About one o'clock yesterday morning the assemblage began to break up, highly gratified with their entertaiument.

COVENT-RIRnEN. The serious opera of Artaxerxes, compressed into two acts, was last 'sight performed at this theatre— and, frequently 83 the piece has been represented within the ,two or three last seasons, it attracted a very crowded ontlience. Mr. BRA HAM sustaitir4 the character of Arbaces. In order to give novelty to the opera, the principal air* of which, it wits imagined, hod become so familiar to the ',oldie ear, that tliey had lost their " power of illessinv," three new crimpositions were iiitroduced by Mr. BRA II AM. We have, on Many occasions, expressed our strong disapprobation of the countenance which has been given to the introduction of new mneic in our most finished operut—a MrateM which has generally de stroyed the unity and harinnoy of the original piece. The compositions thus brought forward rarely har monise with the style of the old airs—and, in many instances, the words are utterly at variance with the situation in which the character who utters them is supposed to be placed. The experiment of last night has not tended to reconcile us to this growing abuse. In the first act, the music of illozsrr's dUetto, " Ah Perdona," to which Engli•li words have been adapted, was executed by Mi.s Srf olitult soil Mr. Bitstism. It went off although It was undoubtedly well song. But, thou 41s all excellent compositinei, It is of a character very different from the music by which it is swims:idea. A few eveitings since, we 'lewd the original per formed by Madame FODOR find 'Mr. BRA P. AM, and the effect ails i•n•cellent. There was then 110 foil—the softness of the [taintn language was sial plowed, Hs it were, with flee peculiar genius Of the compositiiiiilllll tl.e anion leas tXqui-itrly har monious. In act two. the intartetto, " Alifd as the Moonbeams," eves iiitrodoced. It was ....gni surly piing, by Miss STEPHENS. Mrs. Bisiiiip„Slr. DiuttOstr, and Mr. BRAMAN—Hurd was hollowed with an encore. Bat, we object to it; on recount of the situation its which Arbaces is then placed— and, still more, Isecaust., by its introduction, we lose the fine sir. " f/y! son ideas, fly!" on every note of which, swivel, s un g rtlibs sirptiEN., we hive dwelt with delight. It is also proper to re mark. that the secand part of the riiiiiitetto C. not of a pensive character—and curtninty strain+ at all approaching to liveliness ought to be hatiklirti, when a lover, a friend, a brother—fur Arbiierr appears in those different relationships—is order ed to die. TiOwards the conclusion of the Opera, Mr. BRAHAM introduced a sf•ena„ whit It ap peared to possess more spirit than harmony. It was little stashed. Mr. BRA HAM, on the whole. was not Po successful is lie generally is. Owing, perhaps, to indisposition, there was not so gloat a display of spirit and animation—of strength of tone and brilliancy of execution—es we haie been ac customed to witness in his performances. His best effort was, " Water parted_ front the Sea," which he sang most t a stefully. Miss STEPHENS was the 3/sadone of the evening, and bore away the palm of excellence. In this part she first delighted the town—and, we verily believe. were she to repeat it twice every week during the season, the house would continue to be filled to hair her. She was last night (to apply to her the phrase which is bird fancier would use when speaking of one of the feathered creation) "in glorious song." She threw into the shade all the rest of the dm ta4fii persona—and astonished those. who, front • the beginning of her professional career. admired her talents. In voice, taste, and science, site left the heart nothing to desire. All her songs elicited the most fervent applinow. Two of them, " If o'er ' the erne! tyrant, Lore," and " The Soldier tied." ' were repeated. The plaudits which followed the latter interrupted the performance for severs! . mii.utes. Mr. UL RUSE? is a pleasing Artaxerxes. He executed part of the recitative brantifitllt. His • soug " Fair Sintira," wra very sweetly given, mod bas much applauded.
