We give in another part of this paper the cor
respondence In relation to the mission of Mr..
Tris to Mexico, which was received in the Sem
ate, on Wednesday, accompanied by message
from the President of the United States, in an.
swer to a resolution of the Senate calling for in
formation in relation to the negotiations between
the American and Mexican Commissioners, du-
ring the suspension of hostlties after the battles
of Contreras and Churubusco. In the present
crisis, when the whole country is on tiptoe to
hear whether Mr. Trist has accomplished any
thing in Mexico or not, perusal of what he has
attempted, and the manner in which his efforts
have been met by the Mexican government, can
not tail to be interesting. We omit the first pro-
position submitted by Mr.. Tristto the Mexicans.
having published il some time since, with which
our readers are doubtless familiar.

OPERA AND CRITIcIsM.-The attempt to es-
tablish permanent everlasting Italian opera in
this city, with the requisite number of commit
tees, arrangements, critics, ciaquers, leaders OF
the haut ton and upper-crust society, has given
rise TO great many curious and amusing little
tmeutes in fashionable society, and among the
critics.
1t is well known that New York fashionable
society is made up of the waits, the hotson and
jetsam of all nations. In other parts of the
world, the elite is generally composed of
streak of fat and a streak of lean, from the
same animal of rich and poor, but the same
noble race. But in New York there Is a
French streak, Italian streak, a Dutch
streak, German streak, and an American
streak. Even these streaks are divided into two
or three streaks, consisting Of a southern streak
a northern streak, and an eastern streak. The
fact is that fashionable society is composed of a
vast quantity of peculiar raw materials of all
kinds-one clique trying to Gust the other from
the dgnfed position of critics, leaders, ciaquers
and censors of opera, music and oysters
During the present season the peculiar streak
of fashionable society called the French streak,
and which is generally known by moustaches of
a reverend black color, either natural or artifi-
cial, either dyed in the wool or tinged by the
Almighty, has been endeavoring to get the upper
hand, denying to all others the right or ability to
pronounce upon any vocalist. and assuming to
lead the public taste of the city in all opera and
music. 1t is very easy to get critics of the high
est quality from Paris. Marquises, counts,
dukes, barons, are as cheap there in the garrets
of Paris, some Of them backing their own boots,
as small potatoes and oafers are in this country.
Now, during the present season, when Sig
nora Biscaccianti made her appearance in the
Sonnambua,' it was decided al once by the
French streak of society that che was a failure,
having no training, no voice, no talent-nothing
at all. Well, the Signora went to Boston, and was
there of the most popular artists but what is
that TO the purpose The Bostonians are good
Judges of CLAIMS and cod fish, and nothing else. In
consequence of this, another artist was brought
out, Signora Patti; she being supported by the
cIaquers and critics Of the French particular streak
