CATHERINE HAYES IN BOSTON.

The concert last evening was fully attended by a very
brilliant and fashionable audience. We have not time
to give the particulars of this mignificent musical enter-
tainment in this edition, but will merely state that Miss
Hayes was received most cordially, and cnthusiaatically
applauded throughout, while the platform was sc..veral
times covered with bouquets and flowers. It was a com-
plete triumph from beginning to end, and we are free
to confess that we were more than pleased with the sweet
and sympathetic voice of the charming songstress. Her
singing seems the heart-tones of meludy.—Boston Bee,
Oct. 15.

Beautifully indeed as she sung the first morsel from
Meyerbeer's opera of the Prophae, it was not of that
music which lends a charm to such an impulsive and
passionate nature when it phrases its feelings into melody.
W bile in the " Savourneen Deelish" there was something
wanting, admirably as it was rendered, to place it beside
that of har grand rendering of the " Casta Divu ;" and in
classing this as the highest triumph we have yet heard
accomplished by her, we at once place her first in that
class of operatic artists who feel the vivid inspiration of
tragic passion. That her triumph was among the most
startling and complete ever witnessed in Boston, we be-
lieve none who were present can doubt.—Boston Times,
Oct. 15.

MONUMENTAL FOUNTAIN AT GOLSPIE.—The monu-
ment in memory of the late Duchess-Countess of Sutherland,
erected by tenantry and others connected with the county,
at a cost of about 7CO/., has just been completed.
AN IRISH FAST.—Bishop Hughes, in a sermon to
his parishioners, repeated the quotation, "that all flesh is
grass." The season was Lent, and a few days afterwards
he ence untered Terence O'Collins, who appeared to have
something on his mind. " The top o' the morning to your
rivirence," said Terence. " Did I fairly understand your
rivirence to say all flesh is grass' last Sunday?" "To be
sure you did, and you're a heretic if you doubt it." "Oh I
divil a bit do I doubt anything your rivirence says," said
the wily Terence; " but if your rivirence plazes, I wish to
know whether, in this Lent time, as ' all flesh is grass,' I
could not be afther having a small piece of bale by way of a
salad ?"

BONDING PRIVILEGES.—The revenue authorities
have directed that spermaceti be added to the list of articles
allowed to be landed at llibernia-wharf, and have caused
the proper officers to be apprised of the privilege for their
future government in the matter.

NEW COMET.—Mr. Hind, of Mr. Bishop's Obser-
vatory, Regent's Park, says :—"A new and bright comet
was discovered on the 22d of last manth at the Observa-
tory of Baron Senftenberg, in Bavaria, by Mr. Brorsen. It
is stated to have a brilliant nucleus and a conspicuous clouble
tail, one branch being turned towards the sun, which is a
rather unusual direction. Mr. Brorseu compares its appear-
ance to that of the bright comet which I discovered in the
spring of 1847, and hence I conclude it was visible without
the telescope. At five o'clock on the morning of October
23 the new comet was in the right ascension 13h. 42m. and
north declination 32 deg. 50m. The right ascension increases
6m. 17s. daily, and the comet approaches the North Pole at
the rate of 11% deg. in the same interval. Supposing its
movement to have been equable during the past ten days, it
will now be circumpolar, or constantly above the horizon of
London. On Monday next (Nov. 3) it may be sought in
the northern part of the constellation Bootes, above the star
Beta, and unless its brightness has very much diminished
since the day of discovery, an ordinary night-glass will pro-
bably suffice to show it without difficulty."
ANIMAL MAGNETISM. LIIINGERFORD HALL.—
The extraordinary experiments in the above very obscure
science by Mons. Lassaigne have, as was anticipated, proved
extremely attractive. The room is crowded every evening
with people eager to detect and expose what they consider
a gross imposture, but they generally leave with altered
notions, and not a little bewildered. Having already men-
tioned in these columns some of the remarkable phenomena
brought about by the magic " passes" of Mons. Lassaigne, it
is needless to do so again. That there is no collusion between
the Professor and Alme. Prudence may be confidently as-
serted; certainly none that the most sceptical could detect,
though sometimes on the stage watching every movement
most narrowly, and ready to seize on the most trivial thing
that savoured of their acting in concert. Whatever the
power may ha which Mons. Lassaigne calls to his aid, it is
certainly not the result of any ingenious collection of secret
springs, nor can it be produced by any known dumb alpha-
' bet. No combination of springs or private telegrai hing
could enable a person to play &urne blindfolded, and al ways
with success, as is done by Mme. Prudence. Sceptics should
visit these soirees; should they not have their ideas revolu-
tionised they cannot fail in being astonished.

BILLIARDS.—The long expected match at billiards
between Lord Eglinton and Captain Mundy, the best of
eleven games, was played at Eglinton Castle ou Monday,
and terminated in the former winning six games to the
latter's three.— Glasgow Courier.
REPRESENTATION OF LEWES.—It was announced
at the constables' dinner on Monday last, by the legal agent
of R . Perfect, Esq.,. that it was not the intention of that
gentleman to offerhrmself at the next election as a candidate
for the representation of this town. No reason whatever was
given for this determination.—Sussex Express.
