Our Foreign RclatIOps,


ing anxously for her arrival
our Foreign Relations
70 our last accounts from Washington relative 10
our foreign relations, which are OF vital impor-
.ance il would seem that coupled with the recent
declarations issuing from the organ the subject
of Oregon there are some conditions and restric
tions The declaration of the Union newspaper,
which is the organ OF the President, that our title to
the whole OF Oregon Is 'clear and unquestlonable,
ia construed 10 be mere declaration OF title and
from the intimations thrown out II seems that there
IS desire on the part OF the administration, while
they start on this broad claim, 10 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 lake 10 contingencies and future
events
This seems 10 be the general understanding in every
quarter, and may create great deal OF discussion
hereafter AT all events the views of the admins
ration, judging from the gvings out of the organ,
are not SO belgerent or uncompromsing as hereto
fore.
On the subject Of Mexico and our relations with
that power there seems to be no doubt that dplo-
matte intercourse is about TO be resumed Ii seems
that the British government has given notice to the
government of Mexico of its determination 10 fore
close certao claims and mortgages which il has on
land titles IN California and other States, of that
Union, as an indemnity to English bondholders.-
This determination on the part of Great Britain may
account for the change IN relations with the Mex
government, and we expect TO all our diff
cues settled with that government in cordial
manner
On the whole, the refore, II would seem that our
foreign relations, even with England, are not IN so
menaclng position as they seemed 10 be at the last
accounts. But they certainly in a very tickllsh
condition. and from the action of parties in Congress
no one can tell how soon the government may not
only claim the whole of the Oregon territory, bur
under law OF Congress, may be compelled to take
possession OF the whole, and then will come up col
lson between the United States and England -
Everything depends on future events, and on the
next session Of Congress.
THEATRICAL AND MUsIcAL-A Sc ason 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 Never,
has created f,wor 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
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
cty-and II is now very much improved beyond
what II was two years agois the greatest artist Of
the day, on any instrument He not only unites
power with sensiblhly as performer, but his COM
positions are the most exquisite and dgnified things
that have ever been heard in that line.
Ole Bull is now about to close career of two
years in this olntry, with one or two concerts in
tins city-a career which has been unprecedented
success. II is probable that he has cleared. dur
ing the last two years. fifty or sixty thousand dol
lars, beside making troops of friends. who will al
ways remember hlm with the deepest interest AS
artist on the VIOLIN Ole Bulls reputation stands
higher than that OF any other although large por-
ton OF the musical world esteems Veux Temps as
his equal, II not his superior, as mere performer
VleuX Temps, however, never created the enthus-
astc feeling OF personal regard which Ole Bull has
enlisted. Ole Bull is now, as we have said about
TO close brilliant career IN this country and If he
do not return TO Europe in few weeks, he will
probably become a citizen of the United States
bring his family over 10 this land, and become q
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 He has given several concerts in
this 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 we have the Decy troupe. Miss Delcy's
success as an artist OF the highest order of genius has
been complete. Besides all this, young married
lady OF this city-connected with distinguished
physician and surgeon-Mrs. Mott, has made also
very remarkable debut a cantarlce, and rece ived
unequivocal applause tor her talents and natural
powers vocalist. In fact, the whole fashionable
world have now taste for music, unprecedented DUR
ing past years.
With regard TO theatricals, 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
once 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 70 sustain himself, and MAINTAIN his position
The Keans have been carrying every thing before
them, creating every where perfect storm OF en-
thuslasm All our theatres are well attended and
more money is now weekly expended on theatrical
and musical entertainments, than was spent in this
way in months, year or two ago Theatrical and
musical genius is indeed reaping harvest prolific
beyond all example.
