we find from an article i'm the New Orlean,
Courier that native youth of that CITY named
MoREAu GoTTscHALK has made quite sensa
ton In the musical world of Paris. The ac.
! count says
On the ID April, about 1900 persons assem-.
bled in the rooms of Pleyel, at Paris-they
belonged chiefly to the upper ranks of society
ana they awaited with Impotence the appear
ance OF youth who had Just commenced the
thorny career of music. A studious youtb nj
ways and everywhere finds sympathy. Young
MoREAU GoTrscHALK was at length introdu-
ced by Messrs. Chopin, Halle, Thalberg. Tim.
norman, Berioz, Halevy, Caraffa, Osborne
dabeneck and Auber-all men of the highest
science. Gcraldy, Franchomme Marrs and
Mile, Bernou Were anxious to aid i'm the fri
umph oil the young musician.
All the elements, all the means of complete
success, were united in the concert of which
weare speaking. Young Gottschalk executed
a Jamasy on Semiramide, another on Robert
lie Dlable, and concerto by Chopin, who. de-
delighted with performance so ample and so
perfect, aiiectionately seized the hands of
Gottschalk, drew him to his bosom and said
" thank you my child, for having interpreted
my work In this manner"
The young victor comprehended the value
OF such compliment. The applauses tina,
have attended his efforts are the omen of a
glorious future. I'm truth, it is the voice OF
masters In the science-the homage of select
society OF ameteurs, that have hailed the debu,
OF young Gottschalk.

RlOTS.-His honor, Judge Fry, in his charge
to the Grand Jury at the present term of the
Court, took occasion to animadycrt with lust
severity on those riotous assemblages which
sometimes take place in the streets. and which.
as he remarked, the officers appear to think
they have no right to interfere with. Gangs
OF disorderly persons sometimes go about town
at night, either committing wanton violence.
or, on particular occasions, making hideous
noises, to the insult of private families and
the annoyance of orderly citizens. All assem-
blages OF more than two persons. for such
purposes or other unlawful purposes, are riots.
