Liyerpool on the 4h inst and therefore, brings if-
teen DAYS later intelligence. Spectators are look
ing anxiously for her arrival
Our Foreign Relations,
Nv our last accounts from Washington relative 10
our foreign relations, which now OF vital lmpor-
,ance il would seem that coupled with the recent
declarations issuing from the organ on the subject
Of Oregon there are some condicns and resrlc
tons The declaration of the Union newspaper,
which is the organ OF the President that our title to
the whole Of Oregon is "clear and unquestonable,"
il construed TO be mere declaration OF title and
from the ntmations thrown out IL seems that there
is desire on the part of the administration, while
they start on this broad claim, TO negotiate for final
settlement of the matter. They claim the title to
the whole OF Oregon but leave the question of how
much they will take 10 contingencies and future
events
This seems to be the general understanding in every
quarter. and it may create great deal of discussion
hereafter AT all events the views of the admins
lration, judging from the givings out of the organ
are not SO belgerent or uncompromising as hereto
fore
On the subject of Mexico and our relations with
that power there seems to be no doubt that diplo-
matte intercourse is about TO be resumed. 1t seems
that the British government has given notice to the
government of Mexico of its determination 10 fore
close certaio claims and mortgages which i, has on
land titles in California and other Staes of that
Union, as an indemnity to English bondholders.-
This determination the part of Great Britain may
account for the change in relations with the Mex
government, and expect TO see all our diff
cultles settled with that government in a cordial
manner.
On the whole, tht refore, it would seem that our
foreign relations, even with England, are not IN so
menacng position they seemed 10 be at the last
accounts But they are certainly in a very ticksh
condition. and from the action of parties in Congress
can tell how soon the government may not
only claim the whole of the Oregon territory, but
under law of Congress, may be compelled to take
possession of the WHOLE and then will come up col
l,sion between the United States and England
Everything depends on future events, and on the
next session of Congress.
THEATRICAL AND MUsICAL-A season of most ex-
traordinary prosperity and revival has dawned upon
theatrical and musical art in this country The ap-
pearance OF the great artist on the piano, De Meyer
has created tTOr In the musical circles OF a most
remarkable character. When Ole Bull Vieux
Temps and Artot appeared, great excitement was
produced, but never was there such an excitement
IN favor OF music generally, as that which exists at
this moment. De Meyer has appeared nine times
SIX times at the Park and thrice at the Tabernacle
On each occasion he has won fresh laurels and his
concerts have been crowded with enthusiastic audi
ences beyond anything we have ever seen De
Meyer according 10 all the musical criticism of this
clty-and It IS now very much improved beyond
what II was two years agos the greatest artist of
the day, on any instrument He not only untes
power with sensibillty performer, but his COM
positions are the most exquisite and dignified things
that have ever been heard in that line
Ole Bull is now about to close career of two
years IN this country, with one or two concerts in
this city-a career which has been unprecedented
IN success Il is probable that he has cleared, dur
ing the last two years, fifty sixty thousand dol
lars, beside making troops of friends. who will al
ways remember hun with the deepest interest. As
an artist on the violin, Ole Bulls reputation stands
higher than that of any other although large por-
.tlon OF the musical world esteems Veux Temps as
his equal, If not his superior, mere performer
Vieux Temps, however, never created the enthusi-
astc feeling of personal regard which Ole Bull has
enlisted Ole Bull is now as we have said, about
close brilliant career in this country, and if he
do not return 10 Europe in few weeks, he will
-
bring his family over TO this land, and become
settler in the mighty west
But this is not all the attraction in the musical
circles Templeton, the great vocalist of the age, is
also amongst US. He has given several concerts in
mis- city. with astonishing success and in Boston,
from which city he returns in few days, he has
had career, brilliant and profitable in the extreme
Then have the Decy troupe Miss Delcy's

been complete. Besides all this, young married
lady Of this cty-connected with distinguished
physician and surgeon-Mrs. Mott, has made also a
very remarkable debut cantatrice and rece ived
unequivocal applause Tor her talents and natural
powers as vocalist. In fact, the whole fashionable
world have now taste Tor music, unprecedented dur
ing past years.
With regard to theatrcals, our progress during
The last few months has been equally rapid and
equally surprising. Mrs. Mowatt, lady of this city,
recently made her debut an actress, and took at
the first rank in the profession. Mr.. Murdock
has also taken rapid lead in the upper region of
theatrical affairs, and time and practice may enable
him TO sustain himself, and MAINTAIN his position -
The Keans have been carrying every thing before
them, creating every where perfect storm OF en-
thusasm All our theatres are well attended, and
more money is now weekly expended on theatrical
and musical entertainments, than spent in this
way in months, year two ago. Theatrical and
musical genius is indeed reaping harvest, prolific
beyond all example.
