house by few of the intelligent and liberal sn;rt
ed merchants OF Boston. As a social and literary
gathering it will long be remembered by me- The
next day / accompanied him to the steamer Cam
hria. Then it was all the good he had done dur
ing years leave OF absence, in his fearless and
brilliant style, as connected with his "Lie of am
Houston,"" Americas Vespucius," his numerous
" Italian TRANSACTIONS" and "The Artist, Mer-
chant and Statesman" rushed TO mind | also
felt myself in the presence of a man, who was but
at the beginning OF tide inevitably leading TO
fame and fortune. Mr.. Lester l also admire,
because in conversation, aet, &c, he is different
from most men possessing his talents, who
governed more by o hers than their own Jadg-
ment. / am much mistaken if Mr.. Testers aim
in life is not accomplished to the letter. Sure
am he has one, and however many enemies he
may have raised up against him by his bold and
fearless course, yet the time will come when he
will stand above them by an Independent position,
which he has not now, tor what no aims nj, 10 not
yet reached. II may not be uninteresting to make
here an extract from letter received from him
lately IN New York, In which he describes his
homo thus-"We have moved from town to the
glorious hill Of Abaso one mile east of Genoa, to
palace called Little Paradise, in distinction from
| the Grand Paradise (ust by) where Byron lived.
! l. commands magnificent view of Genoa, tho
Alps and the Mediterranean, and is esteemed by
Italians themselves one of the lovelest places in
all Italy"
alluded above to Mr.. Testers Life of Sam
| Houston. or Gen. Houston much can and will
be said. The time has not yet come, but it will
and place him before the country the acknow-
| DoHeVc-RIeot ,
| IL is said republics are ungrateful; Gen. Houston
has not found ours so, tor Texas has honored him
with the gift OF the highest Office in her power
to bes'ow; and now he represents in the Senate
the country. In applying the above, l mean he
is not looked on as he deserves. For this the peo
pie are not at fault. 1t may be attributed to
events in his life, and from q continued residence
in Texas, the impossibility OF being generally
known. MIR. Lester has, however, opened field
by his work that, trust, will result in tho fulfil
nent of the highest wishes of his, Gen. Houston's
| friends.
| On Thursday evening, in your city, was hos
pitably entertained, and had The pleasure of meet
ing there and hearing sing the Italian tenore,
| Signor GcIorese. Having again and again list
| ened to the clear and delightful voice and life-like
| in feeling and expression Of Signor Benedetti, l
felt myself happy in having an opportunity Of
| comparing them. | am constrained to say he is
destined to be as general a iavorite as Benedict.
Still, he does not possess certain exquisite finish
| IN tone as Benedict. There is something, how
! ever, in SiKnor Genorcse that will and must make
a favorable and lasting impression. He has n
powerful and sweet voice ! understand that he
will sing at the Apollo soon, at a concert to be
conducted by the gentemanly and talented Mr..
Beams. The public will then Judge. Would it
not be we'll tor Signor Genorese to give a concert
at the Tabernacle, assisted by the Italian COM
pany. l am he will be warmly received,
and thereby merit an engagement during the
next opera season, commencing about the first of
. April | understand he has been entertained by
the French consul, and received general COM
mendatiOn.
