MUSICAL AND THEArRrcAL.-It appears that Ole
Bull according to some accounts, had great dihcuity
in his first concerts in Havana In getting houses.
II required the efforts Of two or three concerts to
create sufficient quantity Of enthusiasm to NIL the
house, but afterwards all went oil like flash OF
lightning or explosion Of gunpowder, and ne
was creating tremendous excitement The pro-
liability is the cool reception OF Ole Bull in Havana
Was owing 10 efforts made from this city to de-
preciate his talents and decry his power on the
violin. An attempt Of that kind, il will be recol
lected, was made by few poor creatures here,
which entirely broke down No doubt the same
critics attempted the thing in Havana, and
with the same result.
According to other accounts it appears that
Veuxtemps arrived in Havana on the 9th ult and
was to leave for New Orleans on the 2Sth He
had given two concerts in Havana, which were
well attended, while Ole Bull had only given three
concerts in as many weeks, and did not seem to
get along very we'll We hardly know what to be-
lieve in these conflicting accounts, but at all events
we have no doubt but Vieuxtemps will be here, by
the way OF Mobile, Charleston and Baltimore, in
April or May. The probability is that both those
great performers will be soon in New York, and
we will have another violin Juror in this neighbor-
hood.
| Wallace is still here, composing, and studying
and quietly enjoying himself, and, it is rumored,
will, before long, lead to the altar beautiful and
accomplished lady of this city.
Damoreau and Artot, by last accounts, had left
New Orleans and were on their way to the north
| Forrest was still at New Orleans Macready at
| Mobile.
| PREPARATIONS FOR THE WATERING SEAsoN.-It
will be perceived by advertisement in this day
paper, that Mr.. A. Reed, so well known in former
years at Rockaway, Saratoga and other fashionable
watering places, has taken the far-famed Hamilton
House, on the Narrows, and is already in the field
preparing for the summer campaign Great Inn
provements, are to made, all of which will be an
nounced in due time. Mr.. Reed is the first in the
| field

! SIGNS OF LIFE.-Mr. Cage Superintendent Of
Streets, removed fifteen thousand loads of street
dirt from the streets to the several dumping grounds
during the past week, and three thousand loads of
coal ashes and garbage. This evidence Of life in
that department, and the showers Of yesterday,
may tend to remove the dust before the charter
election. If not, we shall all be suffocated
