In the first place, the wing party is composed Of
men called "Agerines, "wbo, since TIE free suffrage
excitement, have been joined BY large number Of
former members Of the democratic party, who could
not 60 the entire length, to the point of the
bayonet, with Dorr and his comrades. This party
will run Byron Dman, ,who,we suppose, is the oldes,
son Of the Dey of Algiers on his mothers side, as
their candidate for Governor, he having been Lieut..
Governor under Governor Fenner, probably hall
brother of the Dey.
Then comes the suffrage party, composed mainly
OF members OF the democratic party who went and
fought desperately at Chepachet with Dor, and to
whom have lately been added several prominent
members Of the whig party, who are anxious for a
fight. This party, giving up for the nonce their Pc
cuar principles as party 60 for the restoration of
legal rights to Governor Don, who lost them with
his sword at the above mentioned place, and cries
for free suffrage, and will run whig,wth breeches,
as their candidate for Governor
In addition to these two parties, perceive that
the aboionists have organized themselves, tor the
reason that no one would do the job Tor them, and
have regularly nominated candidates for the various
State offices. This is tough party, and its mem
bers have become considerably tanned in the hot
sun OF the politics of Rhode Island.
There will now be an interesting struggle between
the abotionsts and the wings for the negro votes
and it is understood that on the first cool day they
will toss up for them The black portion Of the popu.
Iaton, at a late election, secured to certain ex-
tent the right Of suffrage in that State.
The next election will, therefore, be an interest,"
ing one.
The New OPERA AND THE New DRAMA.-This
week is TO be one Of considerable interest in the
theatrical line. We learn that the musical elite Of
the city are all busily engaged in discussing the
merits of the new comic opera by Donzetti, en-
titled Don Pasquale" which is to be produced for
the first time at the Park Theatre this evening
Report speaks highly Of the opera, which was per-
formed for two seasons at the Italian Opera House,
London. It is said to abound with the most deli
cious morceaur, and to be constructed on very
grand scale The Seguin troupe will make their
debut on this occasion, and we have reason to be-
lleve Don Pasquale" will become the rage. Mr.
d. Marble also makes his first appearance since his
return from Europe, as Sam Patch, in the drama OF
$ Sam Patch in France" The management Of the
Park deserve great praise for their lberaity and
terprise, in thus catering for The public taste.
AT the Bowery Theatre. the new grand historical
drama OF "Ivanhoe" will be produced for the first
time this season. The worthy manager of this
popular establishment, in order to render this mag
ni6cent production still more effective has engaged
the services of an equestrian troupe consisting Of
thirty-two male and female riders, who will appear
in the grand PROFESSIONS The play itself is one Of
sterling merit, and the rare and costly additions
will to render il the most gorgeous and atrac
tive drama which has ever been produced on the
American stage. With such attractions, we should
not be surprised if another great musical and
theatrical revival were to take place.
The RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OF CoNvENTs-It is
stated in the Quebec journals that legal proceed
ings are about to be instituted against the Ursune
nuns Of that city for violation Of the conditions
on which they hold the property Of their convent
II seems that one condition on which they hold
this valuable property is that they shall give instruc
ton to the young ladies sent to the institution But
they have lately refused to do so in the case Of all
young ladies' who are guilty of attending balls and
parties. Twenty young ladies have been expelled
for this alleged delinqut ncy.
One would imagine from this that the stiff old
austerity of the persecuting Presbyterans and Pu-
rtans of the ancient times had been transferred to
the Catholics were it not too true that, much as re-
Igious sects differ and quarrel with each other,
they all agree, in fact in the same spirit of harsh
ness and austerity-whatever name they may bear,
and however antagonist they may appear.
The ENGLISH CORN LAws.-We learn from the
Montreal Herald that meetings In Canada are very
generally being called for the purpose OF sending
petitions to England against the repeal of the corn
laws This is apparently a singular movement,
and is caused by jealousy Of the United States
lear lest the contemplated repeal might be bene-
cial to the American agriculturist. II, however,
should be borne in mind that wheat from Canada
now goes into England at one shilling duty per
quarter.
HIRAM PowERs.-We are requested to ask Mr..
Park Benjamin to publish the letter said to have
been received from Mr.. Powers, the sculptor, de-
nylng several of the statements Of Mr.. G. Edward
Lester in his work, the Artist, &C..
TnK ARRrvALs.-Our Marine list, in another part
OF the paper, will be found unusually large and in.
teresting. The vessels came up the bay yesterday
in large fleets, from almost every quarter Of the
globe.
MAILS PROM THE SoUTH.-No less than four mails
arrived yesterday afternoon from New Orleans and
the intermediate places They relieved us Of q
load Of anxiety and several hours.
