RIVAL OF MrLLERlsM.--Dunng the last few
weeks Millerism has revived in this city and
nslghborhood to an astounding extent. A number
OF persons. and a female preacher in particular,
have been creating burst Of fanatIcism perfectly
astounding. We have given one sketch of their
movements, and others have been described to US
OF still more singular character.
A few evenings ago, we understand that whilst
Mrs Higgins was preaching, one OF those political
rowdies who are attached 10 the clubs OF the city
and perambulate the streets at night, held up
torchght to one Of the open windows Of the build
ing, where the fanatic was holding forth, and cast
very startling glare Of light into the place. A ter
rible commotion was the result, the coDgrega-
ton supposed tbs last hour had come, and all rush.
ed out in frantic state, with the exception of Mrs
Higgins who assured that she quite safe, patti
emily awaited the coming of the Lord. These
fanatics are now firmly impressed with the belief,
that the general conhagration Of the world will
take place the 23d of this month, and it is very
amusing to observe the perfect indifference with
which they regard the affairs Of this earth, particu-
larly the political movements, for they are quite
certain that after the 23d instant, there will be
neither whg nor democratic pary-neither Clay
=
This is the only existing piece of fanaticism at
present in this city. The Mormons are very
quiet The Fourierists, with Horace Greeley, are
still working away, it is true, but in comparative
quiet and only amongst the Millertes does the
fame burn fercely.
OMNIBUssEs FOR CuBA.-The attention of the
travelling public is called to some splendid omni-
buses, built by 9. IL A. Beatty, corner of Third
Avenue and Twelfth street. For convenience and
workmanship, they are unsurpassed by any that
we have seen. These coaches are intended to 60
on route from Havana to few miles in the
country, and ordered by the respectable house OF
Messrs. G. Tying q Co., of that city. One Of the
omnibusses is entirely finished, and named "Isabel
II'
1t is worth the while to call at Messrs Beatty's
and see it,
MusIcAL-GARRKAU, THE WORCESTERSHIRE
were much pleased, the other evening, with this
gentleman's performance on the violoncelo-the
most insurmountable instrument there is. His
finish of execution in the violin and thumb pas
sages, excellent; but, if he has failing, it is,
that he confines his play too much in alto, and
seldom makes use of the rich and mellow natural
tones Of the vlolencello, without thrilling motion
ofthe fnger-a practice which we consider much
out of place on his instrument, and which is no
longer countenanced by the new school Of violin
lists. He plays with the greatest feeling, and most
perfect tune, and seems to throw his heart and
soul into his melody His double stopping (the
most difficult of ally is remarkable; and we have
never heard such shake on the harmonies as his.
His pizzicato bowling, In the chromatic passages,
was astonishing, whilst we thought that in the
0rpeggi0 accompaniment it was not SO good.
We hope that he will meet with the patronage his
talents and perseverance, deserve.
SANoUrRIco, who sang at Mr.. Garreau's concert,
was very much appiauded for his skill, vivacity,
and taste. This artist is beginning to be appre-
ciated.
MADAME OrTo's engagement at the Park has
been very gratifying to all persons Of taste. On
the night Of her benefit, in which she appeared in
two operas, the "Sonnambula and "Der Frei-
schultz" she received numerous bouquets and ap-
plauses in testimony OF her fine talents Hernaipetf
an actress, and her great power and skill as
vocalist are fully appreciated. When will she
appear againl
il PrRATA was performed again last evening to
very good and fashionable house. But for the
political excitement, the opera would be much
more brilliantly attended. When the elections are
over, and with the new ana beautiful priwa donna,
Madame Pico, incl ded in the troupe, there will
be quite musical revival in the beau monde
DkMPsrER, the everlasting, gives his last concert
on Tuesday next, at the old place.
THRATRIcALs.-Durlng the past week theatricals
in this city have not been doing very we'll The
opera house has been very fashionably attended,
but not SO crowded on former seasons The
Park, except on the nights of Madame Otto and
Mr.. Jones's appearance, has had very slim houses.
The two shilling theatres are nearly deserted, in
consequence OF their patrons being now so busy in
attendance on the political clubs, drinking, singing,
and carousing.
When the present political excitement subsidies,
however, we will have very prosperous times for
theatrcals. The public mind will then have three
years repose al least, and be free attend to the
fine arts, poetry, the drama, literature, new reli.
gions, new faiths new revelations, new things on
all sorts Of subjects.
OLE Bulls CONCERT Ole Bull gives his first
concert this evening at Nlblo's Saloon He will
be assisted by several vocalists among them
Madame Buckhardt, who is said to possess grea,
voice and power. But the feature Of this evening
is Ole Bull himself, who will bring out Of his do
cile violin Of those startling, poetic strains
that rush to the heart like electricity.
The ORIGINAL ETHIOPIAN SERENADERs. -Messrs
Germon, Stanwood, Harrington and Pelham are
about to make another display in this city at the
Apollo Rooms, on Monday evening next, and no
doubt they will be received as well as formerly,
and with as much appreciation as they were by the
President and his lady, the chief officers Of State
