Mr.. VIEUxTEMPs' FAREWELL CoNcERT.-Mr.
Vieuxtemps' last appearance at the Park Theatre
drew a much fuller house than his preceding con-
cert. 1t was unquestionably the most interesting
of ALL with regard to the choice of the pieces in
Producing the heads Of the modern school, Paga-
mini, Beriot, and himself, in his concert in E
major, from which he played the Adazio and the
Rondo. 1t is written in his best style, combining
majesty with simplicity, the pathetic with the grace
full, and possesses much newness of idea and mas
terly orchestral accompaniment. Both compost
ton and performance bore the stamp Of the classic,
and were listened to with undivided attention.
His second piece was II frcmoio. This is per-
haps the only one of Beriot's compositions,
which will stand the test of time ; it has great &C.
lebrity in Europe, where it was received with un-
usual favor several years ago, and is still the hobby
horse Of violinists. 1t is kind OF Fantasia on a
famous air by Beethoven, and is imprinted with q
spirit of delightfully."- capricious originality
The applause which followed it was tremendous,
and he kindly gratihcd the wishes OF his admrers
with repetition. He took his leave with the
never firing carnepaLe di Venezia, which he played
for the third time, always introducing new varla.
tons After its repetition the whole audience rose
as one man, and he retired accompanied with
cheers and the waving of hats. He was called out
three times after the fall of the curtain.
Monsieur Vieux Temps career in this city was
an eventful one His claims to the high celebrity
he enjoys in Europe are acknowledged by every
body, and he would perhaps meet with a reception
little inferior in enthusiasm to that bestowed on
Ole Bull, If he would have directly appealed to the
GOOD judgment of our high-minded citizens, instead
of allowing himself to be brought forth by inju-
dicIous friends, not alone rival, but as genius
superior to Ole Bull. The only effect It had was
to cover this oamcradertc with ridicule, and to
create party feeling, which could not but be in,
furious to him We trust he will be as successful
in the south as he certainly deserves.

REV. SYDNEY SMITH This parsonage, although
savage on the Pennsylvanans, and others of that
k, has, after all, some of the milk of human kind
ness warming his clerical bosom. Another parson
friend of his, died lately, leaving vacant living
of 81 500 year, which was presented to him, and
although his own income was but f3OO year, hav
ing lost the great bulk of his fortune by the opera
tons Of his American friends, yet he generously
bestowed it on the son of his early friend, the Rev
Mr.. Tate, who had been curate starving on E4O
year. Well done, Sydney, here is our hand.

| "Ah, me ! that was the bank that ruined poor
| Mrs Victim" said Laura Matilda, she turned
from the piano, and joinedin the conversation. 81
recollect that Mary and Jane left Mrs. o'Kiirs
school very abruptly, and they told me something
about their mother having lost all by the failure o.
that bank"
"Oh, my dear, the Lord tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb" said Miss Charity, with an ele
CANT upward cast of her eyes, she helped hersel
to snuff from magnificent box set with diamonds
which her affectionate brother presented to her
in the plentude of his Joy, on the very morning
| which the news OF the failure OF the bank haC
reached him..
After some further conversation it was at length
determined that the "sworrey," as Mrs. Cheat
email, in her own elegant way, styled the enter
tainment, was to be given immediately, the vari
GUS articles required and all the arrangements ne
cessary to he obtained and effected on the good ole
system of the house of Cheatemall ~ Co-namely
| the tradesmen, merchants, and others were to bt
paid in the honor accruing fIom the patronage O
the illusrious family of Cheatemall, abundance o.
promises of speedy payment, any quantity OF notes
payable at the day of Judgment, and highly res
pectable place in the third schedule in bankruptcy
of the distinguished and respectable house of Cheat
| email 81 Co,
Accordingly, in the morning, after the interest
ing conversation Just related occurred, Mrs. Cheat
email and Miss Laura Matilda stepped into the fash
ionabe family carriage obtained from the manufac-
tory just ten days before Mr.. Cheatema last applied
for the benefit OF the act-and drove down town
for the purpose of engaging upholstercrs, confec
TONERS, cooks, painters and all the various trades
men whose skill and labor were necessary to rem
der the elegant mansion Of Mr.. Cheatemal No
Is Humbug square, properly prepared for the re.
ception of the numerous and distinguished guests
who were to be invited to the ''sworrey." Foi
the next ten days all was hustle, confusion, upside
down at No. is Humbug square. New carpets
were put MISUNDERSTANDING curainsp put up--new

Resolved That we the citizens Of the county, will do
all in our power individually and collectively to obtain
information and follow out the suspicious and reports and
communcat the result to the members OF this committee
and will also by every other means forward the objects
OF this investigation.
| The name of DR.. <. Clark was then added to the
committee, and the meeting then adjourned to
| Monday evening next.
| The impression is that Mrs. Houseman, the de-
ceased, was Supplied with some drug before the
| murder was committed, and from close examina-
| ton the previous supposition that her body had
been violated before the murder, Is considered to
| be erroneous.
| The one thousand dollars in specie recovered by
Capt, Houseman from the wood house adjoining
his premises, was the same that he had previously
buried there before his departure which secret was
unknown to his wife. There is no doubt that the
person who committed the murders expected to find
this money, as the house appeared to be thorough
ly searched for that purpose. We present below
the testimony of Polly Bodlne, the supposed muir
deress az taken from the notes of the Coroner, in
order TO show the discrepancy IN her first and
second Statements
