OLE Bull AGAIN.-This extraordinary genius on
the viohn-the greatest, by all admltted-again
made his appearance at the Park Theatre iasteven-
ing before one of the most tremendous houses that
we have ever yet seen. The PIT, boxes, up to the
galleries were literally crammsd with human be-
ings standing on each others shoulders and peeping
out of every crevice. Other artists draw crowds,
by means of ciigaes and parties, for few nights
but ole Bull calls forth the soul, the heart, the
mass-the whole phenomena of society-in all its
forms, shapes, and multitudinous existence. Chques
and parties scattered TO the wind before his
magic instrument-and rivalry is still as death.
We do not propose TO critlclse last nights work.
His first piece-a composition of his own-was a
perfect chef d'Guvre, and towards the close drew
forth extatc applause, long continued. The same
burning and glowing spirit was kept up to the close
of the performances without any abatement--the
only calm, quiet sedate being in the house appear
ing TO be Ole Bull alone.
Tonight he gives his last and farewell Concert, in
the Tabernacle, before his departure for the south.
After tonight, we shall not him till next spring.
Therefore let no one miss the chance for this
evening. His concert at Philadelphia was lite
rally crammed, as here. The Philadelphia papers
are also crazy. Here is a specimen

Two fddlers have come of skill and renown
Whose merits respective have cazed half the town.
The Yankees all stare and stoutly declare
Ole Bull is superb, is delightful, sublm
While the Frenchmen all swear, he cannot compare
But is vastly exceed by his rival Old Time
This question important has raised quite pother;
Tweedle-dee one side, tweedle.dum on the other
Though a subject too grave to be settled in rhyme,
Old Bull is a Ounce if he cannot beat Time
After once beating time, twill not be uncivil
To say, that Ole Bull can almost beat the Devil.

CANADIAN AFFAIRs.-It is very evident that the
affairs of Canada are beginning to approach very
remarkable and singular crisis, perhaps much SO
as anything that has taken place there for several
years past. The Propagation of the Houses by the
Governor, the breaking up of the Cabinet, and the
general feeling that has been created between the
two races there, are only the commencement of a
great game that will increase, increase and in
crease, 'day after day and year after year, until
there is another revolution there that may tend TO
separate the Colony from England entirely
The Canadian newspaper press may quarrel and
fight much as they please about individuals and
cabinets, and responsible government and ire
sponsbe government, and all other kinds of alb
stractions and humbugs but the great question, and
the real question is, which of the two races, the
French or the British will preponderate in the go
vernment of the country. In this conflict, how
ever, the prncna result will be strong and an in
evltable tendency to independence and republican
ism, and netting can prevent it.
We shall therefore watch, with a great deal Iof
interest, the affairs of Canada.

CHINA NEGOTIATIONS. have il from very
well authenticated source in Washington, that in
the private negotiations between the British Co.

by which China agrees to refuse receiving foreign
minister from any other foreign power other than
Consul.
If this very remarkable clause in the treaty
between the two countries should prove true, then

who have sent their Minister there, will have to

THE REV DAVID HALE AND THE AMERICAN RE-
ruBLIcANs.-We are gratifed in observing that the
attempts to disorganize and disturb the party,
which has been moving onward so prosPerously'
and OF which we have more than once warned It's
friends, are met with great spirit and effect The
Rev. David Hale got rather rough handing at the
meeting in his ward last night, as will be per-
ceived from the report in another column. In fact,
David, like most other very sagaciously designing
spirits, has overshot his mark However, he can
hold an indignation meeting in the attic chamber
OF his dark complexioned friend and ally-we make
no subterranean allusion, but simply mean his
friend who resides in Beaver street-and he can
then return Mr.. Raph's fire as he pleases. If he
do, we will send reporter, and do him the same
Justice that we have extended to his adversaries
We always desire to give the devil his due, and
certainly don't except David Hale from this mer-
ciful visitation. Come then, David. try il again

suffered every inconvenience since the coming to-
gether OF Congress, from the gross Encouragement
IN that office. That branch of the department has

GREAT MEETING AT THE EKcHANeE.-The meet
ing of merchants and others, called TO expose
the gangs of swndlers that have infested our
community for some time past, will be held at
Colyer's Saloon, in the Exchange, tomorrow,
Wednesday afternoon, at 8 l-2 O'Clock. All per-
sons who have been swinded by these fraudulent
firms Of pretended merchants, will make out bills
of the sums due, with memoranda of the modus
oprdndi OF the transaction, to be handed to the Of
hcers Of the meeting. The Mayor will honor the
assembage with his presence, and probably address
the meeting. Alderman Underwood will preside,
and the audience will be addressed by several pop
ular speakers. II will be one of the most curious
expositions that ever took place in our city

HuNKERs AND THE HARNEss.-We perceive by the
party prints that the wings and ocofocos of this city
are preparing to move in the several wards-the
wings on Wednesday evening and the locos on
Thursday evening. The alarmed spirits which
they evidently show at this moment seems to have
been brought about by the extraordinary progress
of the American Republicans, who threaten to an
initiate both the old factions and to drive the Od
Hunkcrs of all kinds into oblivion.
We trust that none of the American Republicans
none of those who have at heart the interests OF
real reform in this city at the spring elections, will
go either of the meetings of these old parties

of directing our lawyer to have the bill of costs
taxed according to law by Judge Kent; and we
also give notice to MIR. Brewster, that if the Judge
should tax the bill at less than we have paid, he
must refund the amount overpaid. We desire
Mr.. Brewster, therefore, TO put his hand in his
pocket, and ascertain how much money there is
there, for il he be not prepared TO refund us we
shall commence suit for that purpose so soon
as Judge Kent shall have decided on the bill
