NEW ORL E A N S {:
The CITY.

Inc Oity.
Yesterday was one of the loveliest days we have
had for months. The cold weather, OF which we
had rather too much, and of so severe quality,
has gradually turned into Spring, and everything
not absolutely destroyed by the frost has sprung up
with renewed life and vigor. The brightness of
the day, the suspension of labor and the various
ceremonies and parades, filled our streets with
crowds of smiling men and beautiful women,
intent upon enjoying themselves to- the utmost.
Among the numbers we saw many of our country
friends, who, frightened from the city by the sick
ness in the early part of the season, are again
hocking hither, for purposes of business or plea
sure, and most OF them with the laudable intention
of combining the two and making one subservent
to the other. The gloom that overspread the social
circle that pervaded the walks of trade, is nearly
if not entirely disspated and from present appear
ances, the only effect of it will be to have postpo-
ned, and not destroyed, as was apprehended, the
activity Of the year. What was lost in January
will be made up in June-what was not done last
month must be done now. A temporary suspen-
sion of ordinary pursuits at the most favorable
season for prosecuting them has been seriously felt
by all engaged in any kind of business in our city;
but the suspension has only been temporary, and
the loss of time will be made good by increased
exertion. The shops that were almost deserted are
now filled-the warehouses whose closed doors
wore a sombre and forbidding appearance, are
again opened to give ngress and egress to the rapid
circulation of merchandise. T4 troubles in Eu-
rope have assumed shape no longer seriously to
derange the great operations of commerce, and the
reaction consequent upon them can have none but
the most favorable effects upon all our staple COM
modities. Even the California discoveries, though
they tend to draw off portion of the most enter
prsing of our population, will in short time give
increased stimu6s to commercial enterprise at
home and abroad. In the language of the old
song, there is good time a-coming, boys" and
all we have to do is to be prepared for it and take
advantage of it. The Spring opens fairly and
promises well-throw off, then, the dependency
caused by the winter, and pluck the flowers and
gather the honey while the sun shines.

EXHIBITION OF DoDGE's GREAT PAINTINGS.
These works Of art will be exhibited this evening
at the Armory Hall, for the first time in this city
the exhibition will continue only for few nights
The subjects of these mysteriously illuminated
paintings are the City of New York the departure
OF the lsraelites from Egypt; Enchantment or the
FAIRY Lake; and the Interior of St. Peters, at
Rome These pictures will all undergo those mys
FERROUS changes, as from winter to summer, and
from night to day, which have won for Mr. Dodge
the great reputation he now enjoys in the estima-
ton of all men of taste and refinement
o. All those who have seen the efforts of
his genius speak in the most rapturous terms of
them. Mr.. Dodge has for ten years been member
of the New York Academy of Design, and is the
author of those justly celebrated ikenesses of
Henry Clay and Andrew jackson, that created so
much admiration in city last fall To all those
who are fond of. paintings, We say, this chance
should not be lost

From Mexico-Arrival of the British Steamer

Last Wednesday the British West India steamer
Dee, Capt. Allen, arrived at Mobile Point from
Tampico, via Vera Cruz, having left the former
place on the 18th and the latter on the 10TH
We are informed by Mr.. Kockernot, of this city,
who came passenger on the Dee, that the gold fever
has spread to Mexico, and RACES there to a great
extent, particularly on the Pacific coast, where an
extensive trade with California has already grown
up. In the beginning of the month, about one
hundred Americans set out from Vera Cruz, with
the intention of proceeding across the country to
Mazatlan. They are all well armed, and will
probably get through safely.

n3- We have had the pleasure of examining the
beautiful statue of Powers Greek Slave, which
has just arrived in the city, and is now being exhb
tied at the House of Representatives. As this is
the last copy by Mr.. Powers of the Greek slave,'
it is doubtless the most perfect; if there were in the
previous copies any faults to be connected 1t is,
without exception, the most perfect and truly beau
tful work of art we remember to have seen, and is
well worthy of the patronage of the American
public. We doubt not our own citizens will appre-

women and children, adding brliancy to the scene.
In the evening, the several theatres, the Circus and
other places of amusement, were crowded, and the
several balls, where all was pleasure and hilarity,
were well attended. In short, so far as we could
ascertain, the day was of social enjoyment and
festivity and nothing occurred to disturb the har
mony, quiet and good order which was such a
marked and pleasing feature of the anniversary.

The CREvAssE AT ALGIERs.-On inquiry yes
terday as to the extent of the damage done by the
crevasse at Algiers, we found that the report We
published was confirmed. A portion of the batture
adjoining the Canal street ferry-landing gave way
on Wednesday, carrying with it the ferry wharf,
the coffee house and some small houses adjoining
Although a considerable portion of the batture has
fallen into the river, little immediate danger is
feared, as the inner levee still holds out We did
not hear of any further damage having been done
