EVENINGS OF IRISH MINsTRELsY.-Mr. McMi-
chael's musical entertainment of last evening, af-
forded the most universal delight to the audience.
In praise Of the subject little need be said hear
ing Of its expounder is better adapted to give him
that high place as an artist, which he merits, than
the most elaborate eulogy. We do not use the
term artist in its technical sense; the powerful in
fluence which Mr.. McMichae exercises over his au-
dlence is unattainable by mere art-by any system
of rules, however, opposite or universal; it has its
origin in deep pathos-in the sympathetic impulses
of the heart. Mr.. McMichael, and his subject,
Irish Minstrelsy, constitute very happy comblna-
tion his manner and address-his versatility of
feeling, true type Of the best specimens Of his
countrymen-and faithful abridgement Of all
that is comic, humorous, harious-smple, yet
sublime, III the national character. His voice, TOO,
is full of melody; 10 the use made of it, it is
best shown by the enthusiastic applause which fol-
lowed each song. We confidently expect to hear
1t ere long shed soul Of music over multtudes,
and that New York will extend patronage 70
Irish Mnstrelsy commensurate with the deserts of
the one, and the good taste Of the other. Tha:
good taste cannot'be represented by hundreds-we
must have thousands to hear Mr.. McNIichael.

JOHN TYLER'S GENEALOGY.

We learn from the last Madsonian that John
Tyler is lineal descendant of the verltable Wa.
Tyler, who figured SO extensively in the reign of
Richard H. The Captain, we presume, alluded
to at" when, in one of his messages, he
spoke of his Godlike Ancestors" Speaking OF
the Instruction which Wat Tyler stirred up in
the reign of Richard H. Sir John Froissart, says
"Their leaders, John Ball, Jack Straw, and
Wat Tyler, then marched through London, at
tended by more than twenty thousand men, to
the palace of Savoy, which is a handsome build
ing on the road to Westminster, situated on the
banks of the Thames, belonging to the Duke of
Lancaster; they Immediately killed the porters,
pressed into the house, and set it on fire. Not
content with committing this outrage, they went
to the house of the Knights Hospitalers of Rhodes,
dedicated to st. John of Mount Carmel, which
they burnt, together with their hospital and
church. They afterwards paraded the streets,
and killed every Fleming they could find, wbe-
5her IN house, church, or hospital, not one escaped
aea'h They broke open several houses of the
Lombards, taking whatever money they could
lay thelr hands on, none daring to oppose them
lbey murdered rich citizen, called Richard
Lyon, to whom Wat Tyler had been formerly
servant in France; but, having once beaten this
varlet, he had not forgotten it, and, having car
ried his men to his house, ordered his head to be
cut off placed upon pike, and carried through
the streets of London. Thus did these wicked
people act like madmen and, on this Thursday,
they did much mischief in the city of London"
In madness, Dickedness, and mischief. maxim q,

cestors." Intelligencer.

MORSE'S TELEGRAPH.

The telegraph which has been for some time
in the course of construction between this city
and Baltimore is now completed from the north
front of the Capitol to the inner depot ofthe Bal
tlmore and Washington Railroad, and by which
we are enabled to furnish our readers with the
items of news which transpired at the several
Conventions held in Baltimore yesterday. 1t
appears almost incredible, previous to witnessing
the facility with which the communication is
held by the telegraph, that such an humiliation
of space could be accomplished by any human
effort but such is the facility, and the confidence
by the public in the success of the
experiment, that during yesterday large assem-
bage was in attendance at the Capitol in Wash
ington to receive the intelligence from Baltimore
and such were the arrangements made by Pro-
lessor Morse, and so constant was the commun.
cation, that those attending al the Capitol may
almost be said to have been in attendance at all
the Conventions in Baltimore! The Telegraphic
Despatch will be found in another column.

A DISCOVERY.

The Locofoco editor Of the Savannah Georgian,
in his paper of the Doth ult, makes the following
remarkable discovery:
Among all the eminent politicians of the day,
Mr.. Clay is undoubtedly the most ignorant"
We can't say much for the intelligence and
discrimination of the man who would make such a
barefaced assertion as that. But again he says !:
1--WE doubt whether there is mind in the
country 10 be compared in its general informa-
ton, its high polish and improvement, its perfect
discipline, and its calm philosophy, to the mind Of

The FINE ARTs.-The New York Sun glories

HE FINE ARTs.-The New York Sun glories
in cut representing (from drawing taken by
"a correspondent on the spot,') the beautiful
figures recently placed at the eastern front of the
Capitol. In this unique pencilling, the Indian
girl, SO gracefully postured by the Italian artist,
expressing fear, admiration, and awe, is in the
squatting attitude of French danseuse, with her
scarf dangling about her feet, as if it had been
" sweated down." Columbus is represented pre-
senting her with an apple, and she seems to be
precisely in the same predicament as was our
mother Eve, when tempted by the serpent We
would advise the correspondent Of the Sun to take
few lessons in drawing, ere he again attempts
to give the public of New York, or any other
city, sketch of the ornaments of our public
buildings-and great pity it is that the beautiful
conceptions of inspired artists should be SO scan
dalzed by persons who pretend to be connos-
seurs, and yet cannot draw two parallel lines.
The objections to the dress Of the female figure,
are fast wearing away--and in a few days the
group will be pronounced exquisite by the most
fastidious.

The TEXAS MEETING IN DINwlDDIE.-We
hear, from gentleman who was at the court
house, says the Petersburg Intelligescer, that the
Texas meeting in Dnwiddie county, Virginia,
was an exceedingly thin one. This has been the
character of several of the meetings recently held
in this quarter; and if persons at distance will
take the trouble to inquire into the matter, they
will find that the people of Virginia are not so
strongly in favor of annexation at this time as
the noise made about it would Indicate

Rich scene occurred at Concert Hall on FRI
day night last, and, as a majority Of the inhab-
tants of the globe were not present, we will at
tempt to describe it. There are two public rooms
at Todd's building, one on the second and the
other on the third story, The Temperance So
cety, as usual, held it's regular meeting in the
lower room, and much to their annoyance, and
in all probability TO the people generally, meet
ing of the friends Of John Tyler, (Which the Ma
disonian of Saturday calls "enthusiastc,") was
held in the upper story. The temperature of
the atmosphere forbade the idea of doing bust
ness with closed doors and SO the two meetings
became as it were amalgamated-the orators of
each "pouring out their lungs" for their own Pc
cuar favorites-Tyler in ato-cold water in
basso. Mr.. Hoban held forth eloquently in the
noble cause of temperance, while Mr.. Smith,
from Ohio rivitted the attention of his motley au-
dience by loud and boisterous appeals to their
patriotism, and abortve efforts to prove the hon.
est policy of the Executive. Our stand was on the
stairway between the two, though we must con-
TESS, the cold water eloquence proved by far the
most attractive of the two. The doue-tailing of
the speeches struck us as being quite unique, and

BY the steamer Santee Capt. Mock, we have
the Jacksonville Tropical Plant and the st. Au-

neers, U. S. A., on his tour of inspection of the
fortresses and military works of the United States
came passenger in the Cincinnati.
The weather at Jacksonville is represented as
being very hot. There has been no rain there for

FROM ST. LUcIE.-We learn from gentleman
recently from the St Sebastian river, (says the
News,) that the surveying party to which he was
attached, some days since came across cornfeld
in that vicinity containing an eighth or less of an
acre. From the signs discoverabIe about the
place, especially the tracks, which were but three
in number, evidently those Of man, woman and
child, the field must have belonged to some stray
Cling family of Indians which had located itself
there for the purpose of fishing in the ST. Sebas-
tan.

about the head of the ST. Johns, is perfectly dry,
and vegetation is "burning up for the want Of
rain.-Sauannoh Republican, May24

The Madisonian of Saturday evening, speaking
of the " enthusiastic" Tyler meeting held at Con-
cert Hall on Friday evening, says:
The meeting was intended mainly for bust
ness purposes, and as preparatory to the Conven-
ton, but such was the zeal and enthusiasm of our
friends, and such their haste to do justice to honest
JOHN TYLER, that they jumped at once into the
merits Of the cause" &c.
From the article, we infer that the editor of the
Madisonian was present, and we really can not
suppose him to be SO easily duped, as not to have
seen through the zeal and enthusiasm" to "do
justice to John Tyler" as was there displayed, in
the sense that he means to convey. 1t is true
that the meeting seemed disposed to do him full
"justice," but not in the way the Madisonian
would have it. 1t is true that st they jumped at
once into the merits of the cause" and as we
inferred, seemed to understand them very tho
roughly. II continued uptons-hssing-
propounding Of questions to the speaker, &c.
was any part of the "merits Of the cause" they
indeed did slump at them" You can't manu-
future Tyler capital in this District with all the
power and patronage you possess; and we don't
intend that it shall be inferred that there are any
