"In the coon procession of Tuesday night, there
was transparency caricaturing the Old Hero of
the Hermitage, and representing him as carrying
an ass on his shoulders.-Bah. Repu6.
The Locofocos should never have given occa-
sion to this 5eu d'esprit of the boys by actually
putting an ass upon General Jackson's shoulders,
as they did by the nomination of Mr.. Polk as his
friend. Gen. Jackson is strong man, and can
easily "toat' small ass, but if he grows weary
let him complain of the Locofocos, who laid the
burden on his shoulders.

The Globe of last evening publishes letters
from Baltimore, received the evening previous by
it's editors, expressing great fears that the city of
Monuments was going Wing, because some 500
voters had just arrived from York. A pretty

We believe that John Tyler, jr, Private and

Triumphant Progress OF the Natives"
Notwithstanding the threatening and disagreea-
BILE aspect of the weather, tremendous assemblage
of the Native or Reform Party took place in Wall
street, opposite the Merchants Exchange, at 2
o'clock, yesterday afternoon. Never since the oc-
casion which Mr. Webster delivered his great
speech on wing principles has Wall street witness
ed such multitudinous gathering. The street
was almost completely blocked up by the dense
crowds, SO that the passage of vehicles was almost
altogether impossible. All in front of the Exchange
and on the opposite sidewalk was thronged by
masses Of human beings, extending the whole
length Of the block. There was fair representa-
ton of all classes of the ctizens-merchants, me-
chanics, tradesmen, sailors, butchers and cartmen,
all of whom appeared animated by the greatest en-
thusiasn.
The meeting was organized by the appointment

ITALIAN OpERA.--The full sunshine Of success
has already descended on the opera. Each repre-
sentation improves on the preceding, and the num-
bers and brilliancy of the audiences increase pro-
portionably. The wind Instruments have been rel
duccd, several improvements made, the company
acquit themselves with increased fcat, and altogeh
er Signor Palmo has the most convincing reason In
the world, TO feicitatc himself on the success thus
tar OF his enterprise 1t only wants the Infusion Of
little more talent to make this the most nresisti
bly, popular company ever organized in any coun-
try. As it is, it is most admirable one, but with
DE Begins, Mrs. Sutton, and Madame Otto, it
would produce tremendous excitement.
The Opera is now the whole talk in fashionable
society At balls, parties, masquerades-every
where-it is-"Have you seen Borghese?'' elbow
do you like herr" "Dont she dress beautifulIy?'
"What finely set head she hasr' "What bright
eyes J" In fact there are now only two excitements
here-the one is the cotton excitement and the other
is the opera excitement. Money is making in all
directions. Business is prosperous The merchants,
the fashionable people, the traders, every body be-
gins to spend money cheerfully. The old times in
deed are returning-and the opera is the only place
OF amusement thought Of
1t really would appear that the thing has been
done and that the opera is at last permanently
established amongst us. Hereafter it will be
fashionable in New York as it is in Paris and Lon
don. Why, alreadyIpeople can hardly muster
courage to confess-'I have not yet been to the
opera" Tonight again-see the bill Of the play.
