| According to these returns, the Democrats have
fallen off, while the Wings and Abolitionists have
| become more numerous. With decrease in the
/ Democratic vote, and an augmentation in that OF
both of their opponents, it is fair to suppose that
the additional abolition strength is taken from the
| ranks of the Democrats. We suppose so because
they only have decreased, and because they alone
| came boldly out for the annexation OF Texas, this
question operating powerfully the popular mind.
Owing to Clays last letter, however, we shall
the elections yet to take place in the New Eng
land States, that the Abolitonists will take from
both parties, and probably more from the Wings
| than from their opponents, because the latter stick
closer to each other-act more like one man; they
seldom scatter or split
ITALIAN OPERA, THEATRIcALs, &c.-Pamo's
Theatre opens on the 10Th instant, with
an Italian Opera Company-Mad'lle B0rghese,
the prima donna. This is as it should
be- for strangers anxious to witness Italian OPP
era, are daily arriving this city in great numbers,
from the different watering places, springs, noun
tains, and lakes. There is little doubt but that du-
ring the ensuing two months that from 10000 to
1000 strangers will visit this city, that for
upon that length OF time, as far as the opera and
ballet are concerned, the Italian Company will have
it pretty well all their way, as the other great
vocalists engaged by Simpson for the Park cannot
make their appearance much before the end Of that
time, and when they do, the contest will be be-
| tween Palmo's and the Park.
The prospect of the legitimate drama for the en-
suing season is lower than To all appearance
the pnbc favor will be given to the opera and the
| ballet both Italian and English. The Seguins and
| troupe, on their arrival, will, doubt, be in
the Market and the probability is that they will en-
| gage Pamo's Theatre. This will also cause the
| Park to have the more to contend against for pub
| lie favor.
Madame Albertazzi, the celebrated artist engag-
| ed by Simpson, was, some ten or twelve years
since, chorus singer at the Italian opera house, in
| London Signor Albertazzi, who was then connect
| ed with the management. Of the establishment OBJ
serving the young lady had sweet contrato voice,
and no small share Of personal charms, married her,
and they proceeded shortly afterwards TO Italy,
| where the lady was placed under the most able
| masters After receiving first rate musical edu-
| cation, she made her appearance on the Milan
boards as prlma donna, and was successful in her
endeavors for public favor. After this the lady re-
| turned to London and was engaged at the Italian
opera house, and took the contralto part with Grsi:
in come ;ton with this establishment she has re-
mained for some time past, and been held in very
high estimation. MIR. H. Phillips, the other cele-
brated vocalist, engaged for the Park theatre has
fine bass voice, but for successful and efficient
opera, tenor of equal merit with the reyious ar
lists will be required
CRICKKT.-A "home and home" match is to
be played between the St. Georges Club of this
city and the Union Club of Philadelphia. The
| first game is to come of on Friday next, on the
| nEt tba 81
road /; and the return match at Philadelphia on the
Both inst The match is likely to be one Of grea:
interest. The St. Georges Club is the favorite e.
After the above, similar match will be played be-
tween eleven members of the Philadelphia Club
and like number Of the Union Star Club, of
Brooklyn, L. l. The latter named Club is said to
have obtained much celebrity from their superior
| skill and science, both as ielders and wicketers.

IMPERFECT VIsIoN.-To those at all afflicted in
this respect, we recommend by all means to call
upon Mons. M. Wise, of 437 Broadway, who has
constantly on hand an extensive supply of glasses
| mounted in various ways to suit all cases of this
| description. He has recommendations from some
OF the most talented of the faculty in this country
and can almost tell at first sight from his knowledge
of the diseases to which the eye is subject, what
| are required by those who apply to him. Those
who wish TO preserve their sight-those whose
| sight is weak or failing, should lose no time In
making application.
