Ii is certainly very remark able coincidence that
the master spirit of this new movement amongst
the money changers, should be the immediate de-
scendant and namesake of that great genius who
first set the financial machinery OF the Union in
motion. 1t was Alexander Hamilton who first
breathed life into the national financial machine /;

MUsTCAL-Mr. Brough, the vocalist, is now
staying at the Astor House. This gentleman,
so long the favorite of the musical public, and
who with Mr.. and Mrs. Wood, is 80 asso.
clated with delightful "reminiscences of all that's
beautiful in the musical world, intends setting up
his tent amongst u.s." AS Mr. Brough has quilted
the stage and is engaged in other pursuits, his
friends, who are legion, are anxious once more to
hear voice whose tones convey such pleasing as
sociations. We understand Miss Adelaide Kemble,
with whom Mr. Brough has been associated in
retirement,) expressed high opinion Of his opera.

At the 81. Georges dinner, Mr.. Brough de-

SIeNoR NAeELHgives his grand farewell concert
on Friday evening. This distinguished artist has
been sojourning in the country about year, and has
met with the warmest reception and enthusiasm
wherever he goes. On the violin he is probably
without rival. We have no doubt his concert will
be crowded with the elite of taste and fashion.
THEATRIcAI.s.-A good deal of interest has be en-
excited in the theatrical circles, by the announce
ment of the appearance on the Park boards next
week, of Mr. Harry P. Grattan, gentleman long
and favorably known as contributor to the Lon
don magazines, and tragedan of great and &C.
knowledged merit. Mr.. Grattan has arrived in this
city by the Ashburton, with the design of making
the tour OF the States, for the purpose of making
himself acquainted with the varied scenery OF our
country, our institutions, and the state Of society in
the new world and also with the view of playing
for few nights at some of the principal theatres -
In Hamlet, Shylock, and other Shaksperian charac-
tiers, Mr.. Grattan has established in England very
enviable reputation. He is man of finished edu-
cation fine taste, prepossessing personal appearance,
and very considerable professional experience. He
will make his debut at the Park in the character of
Hamlet, and we have no doubt from the nigh testi-
monials which he brings, that he will meet that fa-
vorable reception which high order of dramatic
talent never fails to comman

cause he has certain inimitably fascinating smile
and manner, and peculiar ndirete, together with
a very high degree of polish IN all his movements
which were so peculiar to Essler. A beautiful gar
land, and rich bouquet.of flowers, were thrown to
him last evening upon the stage OF the Park the atre
