GREATEST fEr.-Last evening the great violinist
appeared for the fourth time at the Park, and made
greater sensation, and left deeper impressions than
ne ever yet done. He and his violin walked through
the hearts of the immense audience like spirit of
heaven gliding through human life
He played the three pieces set down in the bills
1.-The Concerto, the Mountains of Norway, and
the Carnival of Vence-each one rising above the
other in grace, beauty, sublimity and pathos. We
never the house 50 crowded, OF so fashionable.
The enthusiasm and applause were tremendous
AT the close of the last piece, the whole mass of
beauty fashion and intelligence, burss forth in one
tremendous encore. The curtain again rose, Ole
Bull, in his black clothes and simple style, made
his appearance again, with his violin in one
hand and his bow in the other He came
down TO the foot lghts-bent gracefully for
ward-srelched forth his violin to the audience and
with singular emotion said" Ladies and gentle
men--My violin (holding the delicate instrument
out to the audience, and casting look of fondness
over iD-and my heart (pointing with his bow TO
his breas), after such reception from America, is
forever at your service"
| Tremendous cheers followed this little emphatic
speech. A printed poem in hand bills flew over the
house, like fakes of virgin snow. Ole Bullput one
OF them in his bosomput his violin 10 his ear In
TIT OF enthusiasm, and played yankee Doodle, with
variations, IN such passionate, sweet enthusiastic
style, as II never was heard before in this country.
AT one moment, it seemed as if would stir up the
patriot dead that lay Wondering on Bunker Hill or
Yorktown--at the next moment, so soft and plain
tive that il seemed the small voice Of spirit sing
| ing from the depths Of eternity At the close the
whole house, orchestra and all, rose up in one Fl. cf
enthusiasm, and made the theatre shake 10 its
foundation with applause.
What will Ole Bull do next?

the British Packet and the Gaceta to the 23d of

city, and which had been seized by Admiral
Brown, was TO be sent to the United States.
The Brazilian Minister at Montevideo had re-
fused to acknowledge the blockade of that port by
Brown. 1t was expected that this would lead to
serious difficulty between Brazil and the Argentine
Republic. The British Packet of the 23d says:-
We regret state that the friendly relations hitherto
subsistng between this country and the neghboring
pre- are at this moment seriously compromised by the
If nj
in directing the Imperial naval commander to withhold
the recognition of the blockade of that port till the arr
val of fresh instructions from the court Of Rio Janeiro

ron, giving fifty silver dollars each, bounty 1t was
supposed that if the Brazilian force at Montevideo
should oppose Admiral Brown, in enforcing the
blockade, he would attack them, and war ensue
