SOMETHING IN THE WIND.-Two or three gentle-
men connected with the government IN Canada
have recently visited Washington and had several
conferences, it is said, with the British Minister
there. 1t presumed these conferences have refer
10 the condition and feelings of the Canadians
especially the. French portion. 1t was probably
deemed necessary that Mr.. Pakenham should be
made acquainted with the aspect OF affairs in Cana.
da, IN order that II might have its proper influence
on his course relative to the Oregon question II
thus appears that England is strongly represented in
diplomacy in this country. We not only see several
prominent gentlemen OF the Canadian government
making a visit TO Washington, but an increase in
the embassy, by the arrival of Messrs CHAMPION and
Ponsonby.

THEATRICAL AND MUsIcAI.-The cultivation of
music and the drama may be regarded as one of
the strongest evidences Of refined taste which any
civilized community can present. Both are now in
as vigorous, healthy and hounshing condition in
this country the dearth of great musical and dra-
matte talent will admit The American people
readily appreciate and keenly relish the beauties
and excelencies of artists, and generous support
has ever been extended 10 the claims of genius and
talent. The most eminent among the bright names
of modern Europe have gladly visited us, and their
success has in most cases far exceeded their most
brilliant antlcpations. We have as people, all the
elements OF greatness-a natural love for whatever
IS beautiful and true nature and art and the time
must come when we may justly lay claim 10 re-
fined national taste exhibiting itself in our national
music and our national drama
The lion pianist Of the age-Leopod de Meyer
is still absent from the city, and no great musical
fnrore may be expected previous to his ieturn.
This accomplished artistic has given two grand
concerts in Philadelphia, which we learn were
crowded with the most brilliant and enthusiastic
audiences. He goes to Washington, TO gather fresh
laures and will probably return to this scene OF his
trlumps in few weeks.
The very excellent selghing during the past week
materially affected all places of amusement in this
city. AT the Park theatre, Hiss Charlotte barnes
has been playing round of comedy, assisted by
Mr.. Vandenhof Mr.. Sands, and his beautiful and
talented children, also concluded their engagement
at the Park, on Saturday evening, with another
rare and brilliant display Of gymnastic ieats. They
proved very attractive.
At the Bowery theatre, several new dramas have
lately been produced, in style of unprecedented
splendor and magniicence. This establishment is
conducted with great ability, and is in the full
tide of successful operation. The celebrated and
popular drama of" Putnam" is performed this eve.
ming, by the talented company.
Howe's circus, at Palmo's, is also one Of the
most delightful places of amusement in the city,
and the graceful and elegant equestrian feats per-
formed by the troupe, attract fashionable and crowd
ed houses.
The Seguin troupe are engaged to appear at the
Park theatre shortly, and will bring out the new and
famous comic opera, by Donizeui, entitled " Don
Pasquale." which has been performed with such
distinguished success IN London and Paris. The
failure OF the Seguins during their last visit, was
owing to the fact Of their performing in old, and in
one instance at least entirely worthless compost
tons But the production of " Don Pasquae" will
probably ensure musical and fashionable audiences
We require hestimuus Of novelty to draw crowd
ed houses, and it must be of meritorous char
acter.
Upon the whole, theatrical and musical affairs
seem to be in very f1ourishing condition through
cut the country.

The EXPRESS LiNE.-It appears that the Grea,
Western express, from Baltimore to ST. Louis, and
the West generally, is run by Greene Il Co. They
run from Baltimore TO Wheeling, Cincinnati, St.
Louis, and thence to all parts OF the West. They
have the only regular horse express in the United
States, and run from Cumberland to Wheeling, 100
miles, by horse wagons, with goods of every de-
scrlPtion, through in 81 hours. They connect with
Adams " Co, OF this city, and Sanford & Shoe

strenuous exertions to that end. The company in
