The EXTRAORDINARY ExsaEss OVER rHx ALLAN.
TIc-Tbis city was thrown into state Of great ex-
citement yesterday, by the announcement in the
Herald, and in other papers, that vessel of "extra-
ordinary speed, with choice sailing masters, and
picked crew." would sail in day or two on a spe-
cial express trip to Liverpool Wall street was in
state Of sensation; the bulls and the bears looked
mysteriousy at each other expecting another corner;
and the street looked suspiclously throughout the
day.
No one could tell whether the announcement wa 8
hoax or net; some thought il was to affect the
price OF stocks others, that the clipper was des-
patched with an Oregon treaty; some believed
that she was to carry out declaration of war and
afew said that the devil intended to take trip to
Europe for the benefit of his health Il was not as
ceralned with any certainty, till late in the day. tina
"avessel OF extraordinary speed, with choice sail
ing masters, and picked crew." was really to sail
| for Liverpool
After all the fuss, however, we understand that
clipper vessel is actually to sail Monday next as
advertised, on an express trip TO Liverpool. We be-
eve the fast sailer is yacht of about one hundred
tons In size, and she to leave Liverpool on her
return, on the 18th inst, she must the Atlantic
in less than fifteen days II is supposed that she has
been chartered by some one connected with the
British embassy, and is to take out dispatches rela
tive to the Oregon question. 1t is not at all likely
that our government have any thing to do with this
! piece of enterprise.
Several years ago pilot boat crossed the Atlantic
in eighteen days. including three days in which she
laid TO in a storm.
| MUSICAL MArrRRs.-The very crowded and
\ fashionable houae which ureetod Da Moy>r NJ ,ba
Tabernacle on Thursday last, has satisfied every
body that, unlike Boston, which has little real
taste, whenever decided talent Is produced in this
city, great house and fashionable assembly will
follow. We have not so great and fashlona-
BILE house at any concert before, in New York,
since De Meyer first made his debut here.
OF his performances it is almost needless to
speak. One thing is certain-from the beauty
and splendor which he exhibited, it is very evident
that whatever injury he may have received at Bos.
ton, he has now lost none Of his original power,
skill or feeling. In fact, many persons believe that
| if his terrible force and subllmity are moderated,
the softness and pathos of his performances have
been much increased since his recent ndispositon.
When De Meyer first came to this country, he was
full OF high health and spirits He was much invit-
ed into the fashionable and respectable circles of So
i "
choicest wines. 1t is singular that this, coupled
with the change of climate, produced bad effect
on his system; but since his indisposition, he was
compelled to change his regimen. He avoided all
wlnes-all dellcacies-and, with the advice of his
physician, DR.. Anthony Gescheidt, returned to
simple diet and cold water the effect has been most
wonderful on his health and musical powers. Here
is an example Of the advantage Of temperance,
and good doctor, that ought to attract attention.
OF the extraordinary performances on Thursday
evening, particularly that beautiful piece of compo.
sition called Gle Desert" we will no doubt have
numerous criticisms from amateurs and professors.
1t is a remarkable piece; but yet, in our esti-
NATION, it wants the spendor, sublimity, and
magnificance Of his own "Marche Marocaine''
Still 1t Is most exquisite and original compost
ton. But we think, from some cause or other, it
ends too abruptly. 1t does not wind up the feeling
and imagination to that high point of satisfaction
which his own compositions effect We wish, how
ever, to hear them both again. in order to judges and
we trust that De Meyer, before he goes further
southwark, will give all opportunity to enjoy his
strains again.
Music is again the ascendant star Of society and
fashion
MOVEMENTS IN THE STATE LEGIsLAruRE-The
dsgraceful quarrels growing out oil the contest for
the State printing are still going on in the Legisla-
ture at Albany.
| We have no doubt these quarrels among the
ctiques will prevent any legislation during the pre-
sent winter. There is the militia law, the Jury law,
and various other important matters, standing still
until these violent and mercenary ciques expend all
their time, iemper and scurrility upon each other
We have no hope that the Legislature will proceed
to any respectable business during the present ses
sion. When the convention meets we have no
doubt the same conduct will be manifested, and
the result will be that every honest man of every
party will be disguised, and there will be
union OF all parties-wmgs, abolitioniss and anti
renters-against the dominant party in this State,
that will produce revolution similar to that of 1887;
and overthrow forever the Van Buren, party in this
State and throughout the Union.
