| WARS TO BE DoNEl--It appears that the general
government has run ashore in its naval affairs, and
cannot pay even for the potage OF one OF Its ships
to sea- We learn that in the last SIX months the
Navy Department has run in debt to the New York
pilots alone, upwards OF SIX hundred dollars, and
there is not copper in the hands OF the NavyAgent
here to pay this small amount. Our pilots have
bills against the government for the following ser

isa4 February 10, Raritan, to sea
but we believe, nevertheless. that they would like
to collect the pilotage ON the above, sometime be-
tween now and next Monday.
The Navy Agent in this city tells them that there
will not be any money paid until Congress makes
an appropriation for contingent exf enses, and in
the meantime they must brave the gales at sea,
and whistle for supplies the other side of Sandy
Hook. We hope that Congress will make some
immediate move in this matter.
GA New Way OF RAISING THE WIND. Under
this head we described, few days ago, an opera
ton of certain kind, said TO be performed by a
jeweer, somewhere in the city. We have recsiv-
ed since, three or four communications, with real
name, each one saying, 1T is not p" it is not
We think it would do these individuals more harm
than good to publish their several disclosures with
their real names In that article we meant to call
no names-to make no personal appllcations-but
simply to describe mode of doing business that
was ''more honored In the breach than in the OBJ
servance," as Prince Hamlet would say. That's
all.
ITALIAN OPERA.-It will be perceived by no
tice in another part of this paper, that the COM
mencement of the second engagement of the TIA
liam Opera is postponed till Monday next. This
has been occasioned by the necessity of repairing
the wardrobe and procuring dresses for several ofhe
characters So far as the music is concerned, and
each role, all was in readiness, but in consequence OF
the deficiency of the wardrobe which resulted from
the abdicaton of Valtellna, the postponement TIL
next week was unavoidable. On Monday next,
however, it will commence beyond all peradven
ture.
In the mean time, we understand that this season
opens with still more brilliant prospects than the
first. Already more than two hundred subscribers
have been obtained, larger number than they had
during the whole of last season, and there is every
reason to believe that the patronage will increase
tier has been altered and improved by the construc
ton OF several private boxes.
Observation-Disclosures Chit Damo reau, and
Artot, those two great artises, were still at the
latest dates at New Orleans, winning as complete
triumphs IN the American Theatre as has been theil
good fortune elsewhere, particularly at the French
Theatre. The Concert lately given by them fol
the benefit of the French orphans and destitute, was
both brilliant and Notwithstanding net PROFIT OF
ST. ,426 Two gold medals have been presented to
these artistes in addition to the numerous souvenirs
of gratitude given to them by different phiantllro-
pic societies. whose services they have still evinc
ed the greatest readiness to employ their high Ia
| Tents.
| VIEuxTEMps-Ths great master has Just given a
concert to the citizens of VIcksburg. The audi
ence was very numerous. He has been invited to
| give repetition of the performance, which, nc
doubt, will be equally successful.
Macready is still at st. Louis.
Theatricals are in prosperous state in Pittsburg
Miss Clarendon, the lessee, is meeting with fine
encouragement.
Signor Blitz and Russell are both in Louisville,
