Fanny Elssler.

Til. charming creature has returned TO New York
and .npears at the Park Theatre to morrow night.
She plays eight mis- hts in the space OF TIVE weeks
and this alone is sufficient to make bear the heat
of the weather and all the ills that flesh is heir to
for that space Of time There is more talR OF go
ing out of the city for the next fortnight travelling
is at end except travelling to the box once 10 Sc
cure seats for this short and brilliant engagement
And truly brilliant engagement indeed, twill
be- In addition to all those beautiful oa'ie,s and
dances that were produced by her during her iast en-
xasement the divine Fanny will appear next week
AN ola Gitana" and in Natalie" In these she Is
truly unrivaed Tsglicni IN some respects Is her
superior in the Syphide," (f there can be superb
ortv where the style of dancing is differently but
in .The Gypsey'' and in Natalie" Mademoiseile
E,sser never was equalled. Her true styles lively
simplicity and graceful oyousness; and in these she
is unapproached and unapproachabe
By-the-by, we perceive that Tsglion, having
comparatively failed in London, would not return
thither but after payinga short engagement In fars
of only four nights, she fed precipitately enf0ute
TO Petersburgh. OF this Paris engagement, jules
Janin in the Journal des Deoafs, IN most sp"'

nagers of the Grand Opera have written to the d.
vine Fanny to return immeoia'eiy a"o "eiP ~
out of their trouble; the world contains but Two
dancers-the Elssler and the Taglioni.
However, they are doomed to be disappointed.
MademoiselIe Elssler will remain in America Tor
this winter, although it is uncertain whether she
dances any other engagement after the present In
this city. And this is limited to eight nights
Those therefore who intend seeing her must engage
their seats .oon as the box book is filing up rapidly
for the whole Of the term.
This inmitable danseuse, il is well known, was a
great favorite with the late King of Prussia AT ber-
lin the first created sensation in the theatrical
world, and in his last illness the good old King
wrote letter Fanny entreating her to return to
Berlin and enable him her dance the Cachucha
once more before he died. The force of tribute to
talent could go no farther.
We learn that serenade on grand scale, is to be
given to the ''divine Fanny" by the Germans and
others this week.

The National Theatre.

Alderman Wilson, of Brooklyn, brother to Mr.
Wilson, manager of this Theatre, called at my house
some days since and requested that would meet
him this morning, at that building, with view to
examine the materials and manner in VIII ich it has
been erected. have done so, and find the building
to be about one hundred and fifty feet by hun
dred feet The walls are erected sixteen inches
thick, and where the antics and lues are, twenty
inches thick The mortar is good and three quarters
of the brick having been Of the old building, which
were thoroughly wet, the work when once well
set, will, in my opinion, be Of the best quality. A
Few rows near the top appear to be of dry brick but
since the walls have borne the superintendent
weight of well constructed, well keyed, and well
ironed roof there be doubt of tseir strength
They have already borne more Juggling in putting
up the roefthan they ever be subject to again,
and this in their green state.
From the plans the interior, (Which have SEEM
the style of elegance and taste in which it is to be
finished, will be superiort to any thing in the Z aied
States.
l feel bouRd however, 10 state that had been the
architect Of the Theatre, would have proposed to
have two walls in the shape of abutments, TO
be erected about the middle of the side walls, and
continued up at such angles would terminate them
about three fourths Of the height Of the building.
One of these might have had base of twenty feet or
more, ard the other raore than hall that extent.
These abutments which would not have been in the
way Of the stage operations, would have rendered
theside walls and consequently the roof much
than il appears TO the eye in the present
state.
Now in the absence my friend and namesake,
Mr.. Wilson that he has no i'll will what
ever to the National Theatre or those interested in
ITS success. JAMES BENNETT.

MONS On Monday, 18th July, Sir Robert Peel put

Lord Painersfon replied, that there one part

with the Boundary question.

week, there remains l3l to be paid out Of the

INTELLIGENCE FROM CANroN.-The Samarang,
Captain Abbott. arrived yesterday, from Canton
She sailed thence on the llth of Alarch last and
sequently brings no later news, but some further
particulars.
Capt. Abbott informs that the difficulties still
existed, and were rather increasing. The Hya-
eynth and Voltage were the only British vessels of
war there. On TIE night of the 2Sth Of February
the Celestals lent four five fire boats in against
the English Fleet Of government and merchant ves-
sells and had not the wind shifted the fleet would
have been seriously injured, and perhaps several
vessels destroyed. As it was, however, they drift

EZRA wHIrE.-The press Of matter in our CO.

respite Of this maleactor until the 18th Of Deem

public mind and that il be safely urged tat af-
ter so many reprcves it will be worse than cruelty
toexecu,e him, especially when two years have been
permitted to elapse since the commission OF the
crime. We have always been Of opinion that White
