SECOND PERFORMANCE OF BEIIsARIo.-Ths crea-
ton of Donizetti the gifted, in spite of his real
faults, and the exaggerated attacks from a nume-
cooperation ofmuscal pedants, proves its mag
netic attraction in the new world as it did in the
old. The sylph-like sweetness of the melodies,
the skifu vocalization, which, by Disgusting their
rather superficial textures, sets off their brancy,
and their deserving Interpretation produce an en-
chantment which can be compared to the irress-

logy. Borghese is a siren, but an innocent one

THE PERJURY CAsE.-The Mayor made very lit
Il, hon
derable time was spent The only witness sworn
was Mr.. Wheelock, who was the attorney for Ash
ley, but he declined answering any questions, as
what he knew in the case was derived under the
secrecy of his attorneyship. The accused, by his
counsel Messrs Cutting Derry, requested that the
Mayor would close the examination and commit
for trial, he prepared to try the issue before
the proper tribunal and not before his Honor. This
was refused, and after waiting some hours for a
second witness, who could not be come at the case
was adjourned until to-day.
CIvILIrY AMONG NAVAL OFrIcERs-When our
steamer was on fire at Gibraltar, the prompt man.
ner in which the navy officers of England lent their
aid and services to the American commander, was
deserving of all praise.
When the British frgate Vestal arrived here on
commanders of the Yard and of the Raritan, Cat
the navy yard) promptly rendered all the services
in their power to the English commander, and in
a few hours the frgate was stripped and alongside
the wharf.
The civilites on both sides are highly creditable
to the officers, and promote kind feeling, which
should always exist among military and naval COM
manders OF nations at peace.
The English are remarkable for the prompt man.

sons advertisement, that the subject of his lecture
this evening is can enquiry as to how far anato-
mical investigations sustain and corroborate the
doctrines of Craniology and Phrenology." The
Professor has been lecturing on the physiology OF
the nervous system, and takes up this enquiry in
connexion with it. AS the subject OF Phrenology
is one of great interest, we have doubt he will
have full attendance.
