We have received, by the way of France, the
Madrid Ga sette, of the llih ult, the official paper
of Spain.
1t contains two official dispatches Of the Spanish
General, General Bonca,) charged with the
operations against the revolutioniss at Alicante.
U ader date of the 9th March, he announces the
surrender oAlicane on that day; that the rngea
of the revolutionlsts Bonet with seven other of his
officers, eluded his vigilance and had escaped
early in the morning.
Under date Of the Sth March, he informs the
government OF Madrid that the day previous he had
succeeded in capturing Bonet and his party at a
neighboring town; that they were reconducted to
Alicante, and shot at seven in the morning of the
Slh, together with 10 other individuals (amongs
whom was the mayor Of Alicaute) making "a pert
sons in all who suffered death.
The Gazette also contains proclamation of
General Roncali at Alicante, dated 7,h March,
stating that great number OF individuals, who
had taken conspicuous part in the revolution
there, had secreted themselves, he shall have all
persons harboring them shot, and directed dill
gent search to be made throughout the city by his
troops, at every house and family.
This capture and disposition Of Bonet will be one
of the means Of restoring quiet to Spain.

LECTURES ON SCOTTISH MINsTRELsY.-Mr.C Clire.
hugh and Mr. Dempster commence series of lee.
lures on Scottish Mnstrelsy at the Society Library
Rooms next week. This generous rivalry will
make the subject very interesting and amusing
Both the champions are Scotchmen, and both
came, we believe, from the neighborhood of Edin-
burgh. Both are fine singers, and shrewd, intelll-
gent men. The veteran Clirehugh is well known
as the Figaro of New York, and Mr.. Dempster
has made his name familiar all over the Union as
capital vocalist A great zeal of interest has
been excited about these lectures by an inkng Of
what they will likely be, obtained through a pri.
vate lecture by Clirehugh the other evening, in
which he stated that the great religious revolution
in Scotland, was owing, in some degree, to an in.
genius application Of the old Church Music, sung
at mass So it was in France also in the time OF
the Reformation in that country. In this country
the immense power on the popular movements ex.
ercised by song gsinging, has been likewise demon.
strated in the election OF Harrison and Polk-he
victors absolutely outsinsing their antagonists and
by that means gaining the day. The temperance
cause has also been essentially promoted by means
of song-singing Song writing then becomes
very influential profession. Why, therefore, should
we not give ''beneft" to the great song writer,
Morris :!

MEETING OF THE NEw YORK LEeIsLA1uRK-Si-
Las WRIeHr.-Silas Wright, the Governor elect
oi New York, assumes the reins Of Office on the
fiDt OF January, and Immediately on the opening
Of the Legislature he will send his Message to both
houses Of the Assembly in Albany. greal deal
Of anxiety begins to be manifested in relation to
this document, which will be sort Of manifesto
of that section of the democracy Of which Mr.
Wright Is an acknowledged leader. We have no
doubt that Mr.. Wright will introduce the Texas
and other important questions, and announce what
he, and those who think with him, meant by their
voting for Mr.. Polk.
From the premonitory symptoms exhibited in
the journal under the influence Of Mr.. Wright in
this city, are prepared TO see most violent war
waged between the different sections of the demo.
cratic party, and particularly against Mr.. Calhoun
and all his adherents at Washington The Albany
Argus has been very quiet on the Mexican diplo-
macy thus far; but the atlas, more bold and fear-
less, as an organ of Mr.. Wright and Mr. Van Bu-
rem, launches out very valiantly against the whole
policy ofthe present administration. 1t thus winds
up long and vindictlve article -
For the folly ofthus arousing and armng foreign en-.
nifty and domestic discomfort towards measure which,
in so many of its aspects appeals most iorcbly to the
pride and patriotism OF the country the people will hold
this corrupt and reckless admnsraion responsible The
magnitude OF the question alone should have deferred

menced And to do this it has done than the host-
ty OF the Mexican government the oppugnacn OF our
political opponents and the hesitation Of portion Of our
friends could together effect to obstruct the consumma
ton Of the measure ofannexation itself.
This indicates, clearly enough, the amimus of
the northern democracy. But it appears that some
trouble is threatened in Virginia. The Richmond
Enquirer is decidedly in favor of Mr.. Calhoun and
his policy, and in a recent able article, with the
significant heading" the danger is not yet over
demonstrates against the suicidal and rebelous
course adopted, and pursued with such virulence
by the Van Buren "section." Altogether, the
prospect Of contention, feuds, quarrels, difficulties
and disasters in the democratic party, is forebod-
ing and ominous in great degree.

The PANIC IN WALL STREET REVIVED. BY our
money article, it will be seen that slight panic
again disturbs the operations in Wall street, no
doubt growing out Of our foreign relations. When
the first news Of the difficulty or rupture with
Mexico was published, it was several days before
any very sensible effect produced upon the stock
market or the capitalists. The reason Of this was
that the apecuators had not been prepared for the
intelligence. But as soon as the position of our
foreign relations was perceived, stocks at once be-
gan ofall. Before the sailing Of the last steamer,
an effort was made to revive them, which was par
italy successful. But now they are sinking again
We rather think that SO they will continue, until
this Texas question be settled in some way or ano-
ther.

The amount the actual expenses paid. $7S II
remaining to be shared among the Individuals compos
ing the Italian Opera Company since the opening ofthe
season to the 10th December inst.
This shows, at one glance, the actual state Of
the whole matter, and gives good deal Of very
curious information relative to the patronage be-
slowed upon the Italian opera in this city. 1t ap-
pears that Lucrezia was the most successful opera
this season, and Cemerentola the next best. The
receipts, it will also be seen, uniformly diminish
after the first night Of each opera. The whole
amount left to be distributed amongst the eight
members OF the troupe and the Treasurer, after
payment of all the expenses, is $7lS IL. This is
to be divided according to scale mutually agreed
upon. Formerly, the losses, if any, fell some
times on the proprietor, and son,otinso ON the
inferior artists, but now they are to be sustained
by the troupe. The remuneration, it will thus be
perceived, is not very muni6cent. The truth is,
we have now mathematical demonstration that
the opera is not, as yet, sufficiently patronised in
this city. The best possible evidence of the imma-
turty Of musical taste amongst us, is that afforded
by the fact, that there is constant cry for ga new
opera" Were the taste for music properly de-
veloped, the patrons OF the opera would be satisfied
with one good opera for whole season, just as in
the land Of song" itself.
Ccrtalhiys the present itallan company 10 worthy
of the highest possible amount Of patronage. 1t is
remarkably strong and effective. Wehave not,
it is true, Grisi, or Malibran, but the troupe s
as good as any that could be found in Italy. Il
comprises eight artists, all of high order of
talent, and capable Of producing any opera in
style Of superior excellence. It becomes, there
fore, the duty, as 1t is the interest Of all who
really love the opera, and have the means of sus
tanning it, now to exert themselves in it's behalf.
Let some judicious plan be at once adopted, by
which permanent establishment can be given to
the opera. Why cannot permanent opera.fund
be raised, and the abrupt cessation Of the opera be
placed beyond the reach Of any casualty?

MEETINGS OF THE DEMocRAcY.--The ward
meetings to elect Democratic Ward and General
Committees, took place last evening. In the
second ware, two Van Bufen and one Calhoun men
were elected to the General Committee. In the
sixth ward, the Calhoun and Tyler portion of the
party carried their ticket with one exception
Alderman Emmons, (van Buren) having been
elected to the General Committee.
In the fifth and thirteenth wards those chosen
are opposed to the Custom House Clique those Of
the second ward are also opposed to that clique.
It is supposed that majority Of those elected to
the General Committee exhibit the same oppos.
ton.
1t seems that the efforts Of the Van Buren section
of the Democracy are wholly devoted to put down
the Calhoun and Tyler portion Of that party in this
city, and the elections last night were the first
decided demonstration made.
All this is to have an effect on the Polk admin
istration.
