TIE ITALIAN OrERA IN BosroS.-The Havana
opera company, directed by Signor Pader, has
created furious excitcmcn, in Boston II is more
extensive than that which marked the population
of ba, city during the Webster trial. One of the
chief performers, then, had three thousand dollars
for his r6c and tickets in great demand to see
the curious performance. The opera, however,
beats all that excitement. Tickets on Monday
last for the private boxes, cold from three
teen dollars each premium and the whole number
Of tickets for the dress circle sold at from one
dollar and half to six dollars each ticket, pre-
mium-thrs making the lowest price of ticket
two dollars and half The premium thus paid
amounted TO over fifteen hundred dollars, and the
entire receipts for one night over three thou
sand dollars; so that we give in, and acknowledge
that Boston can pay, once IN while, more money
than New York for great musical treat. One Of
the Boston critics, in eohoing all we have said
about the vocalists, says. with due appreciation
Of the peculiar qualities Of the Boston peoPle-

manner The parties to whom this compliment has
been paid may consider Of the noblest Of thsr
lives.
The opera languished for the first few nights;
but the steam is now fully up, and Bostonans will
no, stop short of tremendous notoriciy in this
business. They arc not easily drawn from their
ususl selfish evening avocations and amusements;
and when they are, they make themselves known.
Ellen Tree originally played there to thirty and
forty dollar houses and afterwards the tickets were
sold at auction. Miss Cushmsn has no, yet been
appreciated, and will 90 back there to coin her

HYroCRIsY AND MoRAIs.-For some time past,
our amiable contemporary of the Tribune has been
assuming that he s the receptacle of al the virtue
of the age. He has attacked great many institu-
tons which are not conducted the socialist plan,
such as the Anatomical Museum, for instance; but
he has reserved his whole strength for an onslaught
upon the theatres, describing them with degree
of lcentious expression, that the lowest newspaper
would scarcely transcend. He hates them, as all
tyrants ever have-as Clemens of Alexandria hated
statues with pious horror, because Heaven alone
should have the power of creation. AT the same
time, the philosopher of communism, the soft
tongued disciple of Fourier the hey-flngered apostle
of Louis Blanc, is like the pimp who deplores his
profession. He hates the wickedness, but he has
no objection to take part OF the spoils. For ten
years he has advertised for these immoral theatres,
and, in that time, has realized by! the operation
about ten thousand dollars in hard cash-a pretty
handsome sum to build up pious indignation upon,
all must admit; and We suppose that, for the next
ten years, he will take as much more and increase
his virtuous oratory in proportion to the amount OF
his gains. In order to make himself conspicuous,
however, on this subject, the philosopher and COM
munist should take one step more. lie should en-
dow some new institution for the amusement Of the
people-get up some grand representation of pha-
lanstery, with its internal organizations, freedoms
communism, and equal balance Of property, mind
and morals, to make a substitute for the theatres
which he will destroy by the agony of his wounded
virtue. Garrison and Abba Foster would help him
in this matter, and give color TO the whole pro-
ceeding, that would be quite exciting Do some
thing, Horace.

CLARvoYARCE AND CUBA.-The Sus is entirely
absorbed in expeditions. Not obtaining 50 much
excitement from the Cuba movement, as is desra-
bic for the grand results it anxiously awaits it
gives us some Of the remarkable accounts OF the
claiVoyant, Andrew jackson Davis. II appears
from these, that friend of Mr. Davis "passed from
the earth, through the opening at of the poles"
whether the North or the South does not appear
and that there were good many more OF the same
sort, upon the same journey. They travelled some
millions of miles, from one planet to another; sa-
tsfied themselves that the great Moon story was
veritable fact; and consequently that the 81" is
reliable source of information.
1t is very lucky that Andrew Jackson Davis's
new work-the "Great Harmonia"-has come out
at this time. The Sun will be much benefited by
it. The mysterious knockings were one complete
failure, and the Cuba invasion has promised to be
great hoax but the fact that there are successful
expeditions of brave spirits continually going out
from the poles, and invading the planets, seems to
| give some reasonable hopes of a divine origin to
the Cuban affair. We have no doubt that the
| origin of the one is as divine the other. They
60 out from the great beach of mortality, to all
those points which are marked by revolutions The
revolution of Cuba, and the revolutions of the
planets, are of the same kind and an expedition to
the foimer is as certain of success as any to the
| latter "Affintes'' are the studies of the planet
| seekers, and "annexaons' OF the Cuban hunters
| so that the same process appears to be going on
all over the universe. 1t appears, therefore, that
this is not the age Of progress but the age of an
nexaiion. The expeditions confined to the earth
are by means of water, but those which are of
more ambitious. character, are directed in more
mysterious way. Whether the cabinet will deem
it good policy to instruct the Franklin expedition to
60 out at the North pole, to save the moon and the
various planets from the invasions which the friend
of Mr. Davis assures us are going on, remains to be
seen. 1t is all very curious.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1850.

In the Senate, on Friday, Gen. Sam
Houston occupied about two hours and a
half in explanation of his resolutions, and
in exposition of his opinions upon the Ter
ritorial questions.
The House, on Friday, was engaged in
Committee of the Whole, Mr.. Potter. of
Ohio, in the chair, upon the bill for the
collection of the revenue. A long dis
cussion was had upon this measure, in
which MIR. Thompson, of Misssissippi.
Vinton, of Ohio, Chandler, of PennsyI-
vania, Winthrop, Holmes, and Bayly par
ticipated.
The public are expecting with a good
deal of anxiety to hear the reply of Mr..
Benien to that portion of Mr.. Claws
speech in relation to the federation of
slavery in New Mexico, by laws in force
at the time of the treaty.
Gen. Rusk is expected to speak in de-
fence of the boundary of Texas as claim
ed by that State. A very large number
of MIR. Clay's speeches have been sub .
scribed for by members of Congress. 1t
will require nearly two hundred reams of
royal octave paper to print the quantity
already ordered, and take the force of the
Globe office, in this city, two weeks to
execute the printing.
A meeting was called few evenings
since, for the purpose of petitioning Con-
gress for territorial Government for the
District of Columbia, but it was agreed
that it was inexpedient to make an effort
for that purpose at this time.
On Friday evening / learn that the
Hon. Lewis Levin, member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, and Col. Fitz Henry
Warrcn, 2nd Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, had personal combat at the Ma
tional Hotel in this city. The parties
were soon separated by the intcrposition
of friends-littie or no personal injury
being sustained by either.
Hon. Mr.. Hackett, member from
Georgia, who has been very i'll, will soon
be able to resume his scat in the House,
Mr.. Calhoun has not been in the Senate
since his illness, but if the weather is
pleasant he may be able to attend part of
the sessions next week. s.

THE TWO PRESIDENTS,

A letterfrom a member of Congress
has tie following paragraph,
+" have seen the President who has
no friends toreward and no enemies to
punish. He looks as we'll as when last
saw him, if not better. The cares of
office do not wear upon him as they did
upon. Mr. Polk, who wore out good
constitution in four years. If Gen. lay,
lor trusts too much to his cabinet Mr.
Polk trusts too little to his. Gen. Tay-
lor knows but little of what is going on
under his administration. Mr.. Polk
knew everything. A clergyman tells me
that he once called upon General Tay-
lor for donation, and he assigned as a
reason for refusing that Mr.. Jefferson
bankruptcd himself by his liberality. So
h, is not going to bankrupt, himself like
Mr. Jefferson, nor kill himself by work
