| She goes on an errand of peace-to hght the
| good fight of civilization and humanity-to
raise the siege of the city of Cork, and rescue II
| from capitulation to hunger and despair. May
her voyage be prosperous
| When Congress placed the Macedonian
at the disposition of the humane, for
the purpose of taking the free will of
ferings of our citizens to the Irish, it will
| be recolected that there was one condition
| annexed to the grant, viz, that she should pro-
coed as merchant vessel. Her nationality, in
naval point of view, was to cease for the time
being This excellent condition was made for
the purpose of disconnecting the grant with
all appearance of ostentation, and a very wise
and excellent condition il was. Accordingly,
her guns, with the exception of two, were re-
moved, and, to all intents and purposes, she
was converted into a merchant vessel.
Such is our view of the matter; and entertain
ing it, we are sorry to see SO much display of
gold bands and naval uniform on the apparel of
the gentlemen on board of her. We certainly
think it is not in good taste, to say the least.
We entertain the hope that when the vessel is
entering Cork, that this gold lace, &c, will be
DOTTED, in respect not only to thelholiness of the
mission, but also in respect to Congress, which
particularly designated that she should be d.
vested of all marks of nationality.
The Macedonian is going to shore whose
people, though suffering under the greatest of ca
lamities, are as sensitive as they ever were, and
it would not comport with the wishes of the do
nors, or be tolerated by them, if they could pre-
vent it, that any thing should occur which would
tend in the remotest degree to make them feel
that the government of foreign country was
ministering to their necessities.

confess with truth, that Verdi has made very good
in the Italian schoohis orchestraton IL
scientific his rectatve less monotonous and the
oupe of his due, trio, quatuor, septuor and finale,

That piece of music accompanied softly By the oboe the

Of foritures Amongst the following pieces is chorus

The last Of the FIRST act in which the doge
