GRAND FLARE-Ur IN THE NATIVE PARTY,-The
native party is in its death-throes-the voice o. wall
ing is arising from its midst, and its more respecta-
Bile and intelligent members are seeing very plainly
the entire futty and righteousness of the party
plans Within few days past the storm, which has
been so long brewing, has broken out The gene
raj executive committee and the leading editors of
the party with thosewho have done
all the d rty work, and the latter promise in few
days TO come out with expose of the political ma
chinatons and lntrgues OF the former and threaten
TO go on their own hook, clear OF party traces This
erposf will be an exceedingly rich and funny affair,
and will be very interesting chapter in the mystery
of partyism
With the death OF the native party the religious
factions will cease to exist. They were called into
lite few years since by the hot-blooded zeal OF
Bishop Hughes, at Carroll Hall This created an
Irish party, and the native party, which Immediate
ly arose, was but an anti-Irish party Like the Xii
kenny cats, they have eaten up each other, and with
their death our country will cease TO be cursed with
that worst OF all phases OF partyism, the religious
AMERICAN AFFAIRS AT THE SANDWICH ISLANDS,
The American residents at the Sandwich Islands
have addressed memorial to the President OF the
United States, relative to their grievances. The
memorial, after stating that their part the memo
riasis have conducted themselves as good citizens,
acting in conformity to the laws of the country,
states that their rights have not been respected,
while privileges granted to other foreigners have
been denied to them that for nearly two years past
the government has been usurped by unprncipled
men, the laws changed and rendered obscure and
unintelligbe, and the courts and uries mere tools
IN the hands OF these men. Americans have been
threatened with contiscation if they did not swear
allegiance to the King of the Islands; merchants,
tor not patronizing the government newspaper, have
also been threatened severely; and American bust
ness has been cramped and embarrassed The
American agent, and also the commissioner, have
been grossly nsulted, and American property is
without protection. The memorialists acqut the
matire rulers of blame, and charge foreigners the
cause. They state that Americans are the most
numerous of the foreigners there, and yet with
out protection; while the British have always ship
of the station to protect their few subjects
they, therefore, request similar protection.
The memorial concludes with prayer that their
complaints may be investigated, their wrongs re-
dressed, and American honor be vindlcated 1t is
dated Aug. n, and signed by the American resi-
dents Of Honolulu, Sandwich Islands.
MUsIcAL.-The taste for musical and operate
performances has never been greater in this city
than at the present time, and during the last few
months. Among the fashionable classes, in particu-
lar, and from thence through the whole range Of
society, has this musical revival had effect.
The German opera has been successful beyond
the most sanguine expectations of its friends.
nj do
has also been an example of this. He is the master
pianist OF the age, and his success be attributed
to the discriminating power which New Workers
possess united to his great merit. There has been
of late considerable inquiry in regard to this great
artist, who was unfortunate just in the height
Of his brilliant career, and when the anxiety OF the
people of Boston had reached its highest pitch, TO
injure one of his fingers, which incapactated him
from giving them the long-looked-for treat. We
are happy to be able to say, however, that he is fast
recovering, and will soon be able to- crafty the
wishes OF the Bostonians. He is looked tor in
New York with great interest.
Mr.. Tempeton has probably been more successful
than any other vocalist who has ever visited this
country. After brilliant career in this city and at
the East, by which he must have bagged $40, 600,
he has LETT for the Southern States, and will not
4 return here for several months. There has, how.
ever, been some little difficulty Of late between Mr.
\ Tempeton and the gentlemen who assisted him al
his concerts in this city, who say that they were
not treated by him in proper manner. The Irish
Emigrant Society, also, who were negotiating with
him for concert Tor their benefit, also complain OF
his lll-treatment The nature or cause OF these
complaints we do not und erstand.
Mrs. Motifs career has thus far been successful,
and promises to continue She has been de-
lighting the Bostonians but will soon return here,
from whence she goes to Philadelphia.
On the whole, the friends of the musical art, in all
its branches, may congratulate themselves upon its
present success throughout the country.
Medical Matters.
The prosperity of the medical colleges IN this
city, is OF the signs of the times. The oil d re-
gime Is passing away, and new dlspensation is
being received. The theorists must give place TO
practical men-and hence New York, which can
illustrate every disease to which human flesh is
heir, better than any other city America, is now
fast becoming the focus Of medical instruction.
The thousands who are continually fiocking to
the various hospitals, dspensares, and cnques fol-
medical and surgical aid, open an unrvaIlcd practi
cal school for the medical student.
That every facility, consistent with the safety OF
the patient, should be afforded to students at all our
public medical institutlons-first, from motives O
humanity; and secondly, from those Of interest
no one will question. The community, all over the
country, are now demanding Of the young scons
OF the lofesson familiarity with disease, only to
be acquired at our public institutions; and is moi
little thing, even for this big city, that medical stu,
dents are now annually spending hundreds of tho u
sands OF dollars among u.s.
But with all the advantages presented, greater
facilities might and should be offered Atthe New
York hospital, the regulation which debars stu
dents from visiting the same wards daily, is bad
one. After LIST January, last year. it was custom
dents to accompany each Of them twice week
only
II there were case in the surgical ward in which
