DEAR SIR =
Nothing of any special interest has occurred to-
day in Congress. would apprize you early that
there is very deep feeling among the Western
members, both of the House and of the Senate, in
relation to the occupation of the Oregon Territory.
Movements of Immense importance are in agitation.
Ole Bull has just arrived from Baltimore-he
steps out of the cars into the green roompays this
evening-hops into bed at twelve to-night-whips
out of it again at five tomorrow morning takes
the cars for Richmond, where he plays tomorrow
night. II this is not fddling on the ego ahead
principle" then it is not likely to be done in this
day and generation.

THEATRICAL AND MUsIcAL-THE ITALIAN OPERA.
We have heard il stated and conradlcted at
least three four times during the last three
four days-that the Italian Opera was go
ing to the Park, and not going to the Park that
they had made an arrangement with Palmo, and
not made arrangement with Pamo ; and that
they did not know what to do, and that they did
know what to do. In short, we have heard all
sorts Of rumors about this Italian Opera; and we
beheve-at least so far we can ascertain yet
that nothing is yet determined upon positively. 1t
is very evident, however, that there is some diffi-
Guilty between the reverend and antquated system
of management at the Park and the Italian singers,
and that great gulf seems to separate the two.
gpon the other hand, Palmo in his new theatre,
(Which will be finished by the 10th of january goes
into the field with decided disposition to make a
hit at once. Whether he will do or not we
cannot positively affirm, although it has been at
frmed elsewhere that negotiations have been
opened
AT all events, If any negotiations should be made,
we trust and hope that the three principal female
vocallsts in this city may be all engaged that we
may have chance of hearing their different quail
ties IN succession-we mean CASTELAR,, Mrs. SUIT
ton, and Borghesr. Indeed it is said in some quar-
tciS udt TIC HlcnuS ol DoIBleSc VIII not permit iicI
to make an engagement with Palmo, or the Park,
unless she is prima donna salute, thus throwing
all the others entirely into the shade, others too,
who have in some respects superior attractions.
All that the public want is harmonious opera
company, the engagement Of all the talent in the
city, so that their whole force may be applied to
it, and to the final and full establishment of Ita
ian opera in this city, upon the plan that it is
l.
dence is absolutely necessary for such establish
ment. tits utterly impossible for an Italian Opera
to be travelling from city city single vocalists
or tragic stars They must fix their permanent re-
sidence in great city, and then all those who
want to attend the opera must to the opera and
not the opera so to them. In this country expect
to see an Italian Opera fixed permanently in New
York and New Orleans. By that means it will be
possible to combine the greatest talent, with the
greatest patronage upon the same points

whose greatness, strength, beauty and precision Of
voice are equal to any in the country. Without
detractng from the talents of other distinguished
and eminent vocasts in the same line, we must
say that Mrs. Sutons voice. in itspurity and sweet

We trust that this concert will be well attended,
for the talent combined to furnish the amusement

MOVEMENTS Bull has been astonishingly
successful it appears, at Washington, as well as at
Baltimore According to all accounts he has in
fused spirit of enthusiasm into all classes of soce-
ty, that is perfectly irresistible. His career down
to New Orleans will be triumphant in the highest
degree. One curious thing ought to be stated. 1t
seems that upon the evening after Ole Bull had APP
peared at Washington, Mad. Damoreau land Arto
also made their appearance, but the house was so
thin that it passed ofso complete failure that they
have taken their departure for the south. This is a
singular result, if it be s stated, and 1t would
appear that Ole Bull scaters all competitors round
him like chaff before the wind, whether they be
musical or instrumental, or even tragic, for we have
heard at Washington and Baltimore, he suffered
much by the musical Juror there.
NEW YEAR OIFTS FOX ict4, Al tEDuCED
PRICES The Langleys, 81 Chatham street, de.
serve the thanks of the book-buying community,
for their recent liberal measure of reducing the
prices of the principal English ANNALS some twenty
per cent, or more, from their retail rates. This
they have been enabled to do from having made a
heavy Importation of these costly works, of which
they have very splendid and recherche assortment
and we understand they have had no occasion to
repent their experiment, for all who indulge the
luxury of giving to their favorite fair ones such
bVoateie on the approaching festival of the New
Year, will be sure to avail themselves of the benc
fit. If this present making which really is one Of
the purest pleasures we enjoy, confers more the
doner it is sad than the receiver, to speculate
in ANNALS is not so bad an investment after all
