to be accompanied by Signor Montrosa,
whose execution on the flute 10 said TO be

plause with which il was received"
"This gentleman was presented with n
handsome silver goblet, by the Directors
OF the metallic Mandatory, for his brill
liant execution OF the above piece. We
understand the Music is to be arranged

spirit ol ''liberty," and should be obtain
ed by every friend Of the Constitution.
for they arc highly calculated to arouse
feelings Of the loiiiest PATRIOTISM
We sincerely wish Mr. Dixon an over
flowing house, and we have no doubt his
performance will fully merit one. In these
times Of political misrule his spirited airs
must have an excellent effect, and oughs

So perfect was his imitation of tho
chickens cry, that dog at the other end
OF the room, deluded by the ventriloqulst's
skill, sprang forward all eager for a
chicken hunt, and was advancing to the
spot where the chicken was supposed to
be, till its master called it back.
MIR Dixon's voice which is very power
ful from nature has been improv ed to an
extraordinary point by course Of train
ing, that has made his vocal energies al
most unequalled. -

the tones and force and variety 10 the

"By Capt. William Hughes. John C.
Calhoun-Having heart as black as the
shades OF Erebus, he has propagnted and
disseminated doctrines dest, uctiye OF our
liberty, prosperity, and happiness. When
he dies, may his name be blotted out from
the memory Of man, and eternally buried
in the Iartarean vortex Of oblivion and
for the loss of whom, may his followers
mourn, .co,l, 'ceep, lament, cry, and ko,rl,
until they become idiots then, destitute
of reason and instinct, grace among the
beasts Of the field all their days as me-
mento Of their folly and disgrace. (Capt
Hughes was holsted amid the cheers of
the multitude.
We understand there will be no Cattle
Show and Exhibition of Manu- facturers at
Pawtuxet, the present year. This il a
holiday that the Farmers and men Of
business generally will regret the omis-
sion Of. The beneficial influence ofthese
Fairs upon Agriculture and Manufac-
lures has been very apparent in those
parts OF the country where they have been
held, and we believe IN none more 30 than
in the State Of Rhode Island. Our read
ers will be gratified to learn, that it is in
contemplation to appropriate funds that
will ensure for the autumn of next year
an unusua! splendid show and exhibition.
