FINE LAuycH-T'he splendid packet-shiP VIC
tora, belonging to Messrs. Griswold X Co.'S Lon
don line, was launched last evening at 9 O'Clock
from the ship-yard of Messrs. Westerrelt X Wac
zav. There was an immense multitude--cer-
taialy not less than FIVE thousand people-present
and everything went off, the ship included. IN the
most splendid style. She was full llrigged, and the
instant the supports were struck away, slid grace
fully and beautifully into the water amid the
tumutuous and loudly repeated shouts OF the
thousands present. She is truly a noble ship,
of 1000 tons burthen, and viii be one OF the finest
in the line. We wish her long life OH her ocean
home and thousand prosperous voyages before
her race is run.

II THE UUTcuNsoNs gave thcir farewell
Concert last evening at the Society Library The
rooms were crowded 10 the utmost, seats, aises
and passzges, and many were forced TO leave be-
ING unable % obtain even convenient places to
stand Tbes, charming yocalists sang in most
beautiful and effective style, and were Loudly and
repeatedly applauded BY the intelligent audience
Then style q sJngine IS admirable,--simpie,
sweet ana tUl of mountain melody. Their voices
arc al rich and clear, and their whole execution
is in a mos, cha>,e and graceful style. The Irish
Emlgrant's Lament was sung most touchngly
by orc OF the Brothers, more TO our liking even
rhan by DeNgsrsR himself The feeling OF deep
and mourning loneliness which the words of this
song 50 finely enbody was admirably expressed
The Maniac was also sung with more effect than
We have ever heard 1t from Russell, who always
plays MS own accompaniment Al the piano. Mr..
Hutchinson not only sung but acted it-and that
N manner not only perfectly chaste and wI;a-
out otftnding deIcacy OF decorum, but with clear
adherence to truth and great effect. In the midst
o! the performances d fine bouquet was sent in
with special request that the Lords OF Crca-
ton might be sung. We hoped they would take
the liberty 10 substitute some piece less common
and be,tcr worthy their talent; but Miss Hutch
cnSon sung i; in way that fairly forced our ap-
Plause-lhough much against our viii. The
Family Song was received with dealeaing aP-
plause. The accompaniment Of the Brothers
on the violin and vioincello are very tas,eiully
executed and now and then strain IS evoked
worthy OF Nagel himself. We wish this gifted,
hTotherly band all the success they 50 richly de-
serve; andwe. as well as the rest of the audience
heard the announcement OF Their return IN The
coming fall with tie sincerest pleasure.

II is thought, that, were Mr.. Tyler to dismiss Mr.
Webster imme datey it would benefit him before the
country. The China bill places $40, 600 at the COM

suppose it bonus for Webster, who will perhaps be
sent out in state TO Canton.
'The deficiency in the revenue is becoming more and
more apparent. To-day, Mr.. Randolph Of New Jersey
contended that the failure Of the Tariff bill 10 produce
an adequate revenue was caused by the Enquirer He
