The institution has up 10 the present

compared with similar institutions in tbs
True, it has had to contend with
those difficulties peculiar 10. and which are
constant attendants upon the establishment
Of new institutions, and especially such as
embrace new doctrines.
In addition to the facilities for instruction
afforded, much IS being done by
Ihe enierprising trustees and individuals TO
lender the Institution, IL possible, still more

arrangements have been made for the
building Of a more spacious edlficc, which
N addition TO the necessary lecture rooms,

From Texas By the Southern mai Of

A report was circulated, and belieye to
be true, that small schooner (name un-
k,own) had been wrecked in the late storm
on Padres Island. She had several fam
il es on board. and the bodies we're reported
10 have been found on the beach.
The equinocual storm set IN the vicinity
of Houston on the 25lh of March, with a
thunler storm, which was seccccdci by
heavy rains and severe frosts. No great
injury TO the crops was anticipated from the
latter, as but little cotton had been planted
and the corn was not yet sufficiently high
to be much damaged.
The Brazos river, in cons quenee of the
great fail Of rain, had 3 leet more water Ia

As'We take pleasure in recommend
ing the American House TO such of our
citizens as visit New York, either for busi-
ness or pleasure. Its location on Broad
way, directly opposite the Park, is very
convenient TO the business portion Of the
city and equally pleasant for those who
are there for amusement. This house has
wide reputation which it justly earned,
while under the charge Of Mr.. Cozzens.-
During the last year, it has been thor
oughly repaired, and was much enlarged,
and can now accommodate as many as the
Astor. Everything is in perfect order,
and the House is equal, in all respects, to
any in tn. country. 1t is kept by Messrs.
Taber & Bagley, who have had much eX-
perience in the business, and thoroughly
understand the nature ofther duties. which
they attend TO in the mo ST satisfactory man
ner,-and have even increased the reputa-
tion Of the American. Mr.. Lucas, who is
attached to the Ocean House, in this town,
during the Summer, and who is well

and ever gretts old friends with u smile,
and new ones with a pleasing welcome.

Fund HAL, after lonu absence. Their
re-appearance was warmly welcomed by
large and fashionable audience, ard they
went through the programme with even
greater degree of taste, skill a1d precision
than they exhibited dur NJ their former So
ouIn among us. During the past winter
they have been in Baltimore, and they
have established themselves in the afec-
tions of the refined people of that city We
have before US letter from gentleman Of
Baltimore, written after the closing con-
cert OF Saturday evening, which speaks IN
the most exalted lcrms Of the estimation in
hich they are he'd there. The following
extract will prove interesting to our read
ers -
Their final conctit this evening, was
truly gratifying scene. AS each lady en-
tered the door, she received a handsomely
piinted sheet Of the "ADIEU POLKA" com
posed for the occasion by the talented anu
enterprl,ing manager, as a souvenir to The

bers of the society"
When Mr.. Ile'msmuller at the close,
expressed thanks Of the association for their
favorable reception, be was greeted with
enthusiastic and prolonged applause, and
they retired amid the regrets of the audi
ence. However, we confidently expect
their return in autumn, since four LADIES'
acknowledged as leaders of the ton, have
accepted the offices l"Houorary President
Corresponding Secretary, Director and

pose of arranging for their reiurn--and
two thousand dollars have already been
subscribed towards next winters concerts.
The Germania Society give thcr second

treat of the highest kiad.-PhI. Bule'm.
1t affords us great pleasure to find t'e
musical genius of our friends, the German
