tropolis of the Union. Joseph Burke, the ac-

erican citizen, was heartily received by the elitt
of the cty-he is really master of his favor
lite instrument, and merited the enthusiastic
applause he received from enlightened and in.
telligent audiences. Dempster, the sweet bal.
lad singer, followed him, and drew crowded
audiences, adding laurels to his already envia-
BILE reputation.
The "lion pianist"-the great De Meyer

familiar with his touch, may take a seat on the
plattorm-and I'm lcer,y curious to learn his
touch.' Every body was OH the qui vive for
the great pianist, who had been so extensively
pulled up by the N. Y. Herald. The demand
for tickets was great, and although the price
was liked at 81, in order that the company
might be select, yet, such was the rush, that a
comfortable station could not be found in the
room. Those who wished to witness the won

be heard the exclamation of "fudge!' and
"humbug!" among the more staid and Judging
portion OF the audience. There were some
members OF Congress present who would rath-

Just that kind of admiration that it does to see
a female equestrian turn a somerset on horse
back! We are the most gullibe people on the
globe, and though we profess to be shrewd,
money-maklng people, yet who will pretend to
say that we cannot be taken in by the imperial
and mostache ola foreigner? FIVE would es-

is not Legitimate, and which has been thrust

paid literally for exciting our curiosity-Leo-
pold DE Meyer is nothing more than musical
mountsbank, and the people of Boston showed
their good judgment in not countenancing
him. He will doubtless amass wealth in this |
country, and as he counts his golden eagles, he |
will laugh at the gulibility of the Yankees,
and, even while he reaps the benefits of their
liberality, there is but little doubt that he de-
nounces them as possessing little or no musical
judgment. He has made about $1,000 by his |
two concerts in this city, and from his mean
ness and close-fstedness in making bargains,
one should think that the itinerait- thunderer
had not money enough to pay for his bread
and butter.

FIRE IN TALBOT COUNTY. We learn from
the Easton Star that the residence of DIR. G. |
w. Goldsborough was destroyed by fire on
Sunday morning last. 1t is said to have origi-
mated from crack in the chimney. The pro-
perty belonged TO Allen M. Goldsborough,
Esq, of Easton.
HIGH TIDE IN THE DELAWARE. The Phil
adelphia Chronicle states that on Wednesday
morning, the tide in the Delaware river was
higher than it has been for two or three years
The water was over the wharves, and in some
places foot deep on the avenue. This was
owing, no doubt, to the rain and southerly
wind.
OPENING OF NAVIGATION. The Secretary
of Canal Commissioners Of Pennsylvania states
that the water will be let into the Main Line
from Harrisburg to Pittsburg before the close
of the present week, and from Harrisburg to
Columbia by the last of the week following,
and navigation resumed throughout the entire
