The enthusiasm created by Ole Bull not only
among the public, but among musicians, is higher
| than anything we ever have seen. One instance,
the orchestra of the Park theatre after the close Of
the performances last Friday evening, waited upon
the great maestro" at his residence, at the Asor
House, and, taking him quite by surprise, honored
| him with serenade, in which several most ex-

| OF being excelled by no other orchestra in the
world.
The Orchestra then, upon the invitation Of Mr.
Bull, adjourned to the dining room, where cham
payne flowed plentfuly and where wit of the rare
est kind enlivened the cheerful company for an
hour. Several excellent speeches were made and
those which fell from the accomplished artist, who
was the theme of their praise, told excelleny well
for his head and his heart.
Several of the Speakers were unacquainted with
our language, and this circumstance gave rise to
many loud laugh. The following is faithful
report of one of the speeches made on the occa-
sion:
one musician shall not drink him musician-lor
musician he has been drunk all the world for
as Of Ole
the one man." CThe real oneman power, said critc.)
The company dispersed much delighted with the
scene, with three cheers for the Bull
As yet, no artist that has been heard in this
city, has reached the genius, originality, power
and enthusiasm of Ole Bull. Artot is a most ad-
mirable and finished performer, but is no rival and
never can be. Wallace has genius and originality,
but divides his soul in two equal divisions from the
heart out between two instruments, the violin and
the piano. Vieuxtemps, who has just arrived here
from London, accompanied by his sister, Mad'lle
Vieuxtemps, also an accomplished musician and
elegant woman, ii is said, is the only artist thai
can enter into rivalry or competition with
the great Norwegian. Vieuxtemps is quite
young, is a native of Belgium, and is, there
fore, half French and half German-a cross that
sometimes produces wonders. He has high repu-
tation, but not so old extended as Ole Bulls
Last summer, VieuXtemps played in London be-
fore royalty and was placed in the highest rank of
artsts-even equal, if not before Sivori. the Italian
performer After this awful week shall have pass
ed away, we shall be better able to Judge, for on
Monday next Vieuxtemps intends to give con-
cert at the Tabernacle, and dispute the crown Of
music with Ole Bull himself. In the meantime,
every crcle-every 'set-every soul-every heart,
every being, are getting madden and madden after
music-the legitimate drama never so low
May heaven in its mercy permit poor, unhappy, for
tunate, eXtatc, miserable, wonderful, mysterious
New York TO retain her senses for month at
least. We shall then pay our tailors' bills and die
contented. The end of the world must come

seems to run very much into something like gam
bling. During the last six months various efforts
were made to produce an excitement in the stock
market, but they were unsuccessful until the banks,
by the policy of certain directors, went deeply
INTO it, Since then very singular effects have
been Produced. Many persons have made snug
fortunes who were formerly penniless; and several,
who had just taken the benefit of the Bankrupt
Act, have realized very handsome sums We un-
dersand that at least three or four of the brokers
in the new Board have cleared their $50, 900 or
SOL, 600; and that one of these fortunate persons,
in order to prevent the unpleasant effects of
tingency, has settled $4,000 his wife. This
stock gambling is very serious and melancholy
business Regarded altogether without reference
to its morality, it is dangerous in the extreme.
1t may be profitable for individuals for time, but
few indeed come out of it safe. Those who
venture deepest and with the greatest apparent
skill and caution, generally find themselves beg

as the chef source of those defacations, and en-
bezzlements, and robbcries which have so often

and loss, cannot resist the temptation to attempt to
retrieve his fortune by means which do not belong
TO him, and he plumbers, therefore, whenever and
wherever he can. We must say that the policy of

holders of these institutions should take the matter
into most serious consideration, and be prepared
to act accordingly at the next election Of directors
