Assf AEftYlsH .~~sofne Of the newspapers seem
TO be making great noise about the movements
in South Carolina relative TO the tari-the blacks
aad various other things All this indicates con-
siderable misconceplion Of the magnitude OF small
potatoes. The yaporings of the enthusiastic poll
lIcians OF South Carolina are, in opinion, very
much on a level with Mormonsm-the nuifica-
ION of Slade of Vermont-the dlsunionlst declara-
tons of Garrison-o the solemn assertions Of ABB
hy Kelly and Abby Folsom of Massachusetts.
south Carolina has population hardly equal to
hat OF the city Of New York. They have large
territory, which has been exhausted during the
last century, and the revenue Of the fashionable
men OF that region has been very much curtailed
&" late. II by any industrial process some OF these
philosophic professors Of political economy in
South Carolina, could have as much money to
spend as they had quarter of century ago, we
would hear very little of notification. We don't
believe they are as much opposed to the tariff and
to the Supreme Court as they are to an empty
pocket, and if they were to be little cooler and
60 to work industriousy, they would soon be be-
yond the reach OF any trouble from tanffs or Su-
preme Courts, and be tolerably quiet and happy
men into the bargain
italian OPERA.-To-nght the delicious opera
Csneyentola will be repeated. On its first repre-
sentation on Monday evening, it was received with
great favor and went off well. There were
some little deficiencies quite excusable in first
performance, and which will be avoided tonight.

role, indeed, finely adapted to her powers, and it is
no mean praise to say, that she sustained it with
spirit and success. Sanquirico was very excellent
His acting is truly exquisite, and his singing is
always equally worthy of the highest APPRECIATION
Some critics carp at Tomasi on account Of his
herculean proportions, and nsinuate that he is
unfit for the part of "Dandni," but he got through
with it remarkably well; with degree, indeed, of
vlvacy and spirit, that quite surprised some OF his
friends. Antognini, who has recovered his health,
and with it his fine voice, also sang remarkably
well. This opera will be great favorite. The
produced is highly credtable.
II is apparent, however, that notwithstanding
the evident desire TO patronize the opera, there is
yet wanting in our fashionable circles that edu-
Gated musical taste, and that devotion to the art
which are necessary to secure regular and neces-
.ary support. This is evident from the fact that many
ire quite satisfied with hearing an opera once.
But it ought not to be SO. A person possessed of
,eanine and cultivated taste for music, will go
again and again and again to hear the same opera,
ust as in Italy this very opera, Cenerewtola, has
been played for forty and fifty nights in ccession,
% crowded houses II is true that there have been
/, number of really splendid houses at the Italian
opera, but on other nights not so good and thus it
vil be seen, when the heavy expenses Of the opera
IRE considered, that the present support is not ade
luate to sustain it permanently. If the patronage
)e not steadily extended, we fear this re6ned
amusement will soon be beyond our reach.
The ST. GEORGES LINE OF PAcKETs.-There

While these were in preparation, the different par
les amused themselves in examining the vessel from
stem to stern, above and below decks. She was
ound in every respect, vessel Of equal, if not
superior description to any that has hoated on our
waters Tor some time-not so ample in her accom-
notation for passengers, but with more conve-
lence for those who do favor them in that capa-
