PRESENT TO Hon. HENRY CLAY.-We see by
the National Inteiligencer that Messrs. Peckham,
Dennis Co. have presented splendidly wrought
watch, seal and key to Hon. HENRY CLAY. The
articles are thus described:
The seal is made Of gold and after the design
of the beautiful picture entitled Henry Clay at
Ashland" This picture, il will be remembered,
represents the distinguished statesman sitting
beneath tree, with hat and cane IN hand and
his favorite dog sitting by his side. All OF which
is most faithfully carried out by the designers oil
this delicate piece of workmanship. The key re-
presents q broken branch of tree, and harmo-
nizes well with the design.
The PROTECTIVE UNIoS-In our notice OF the
Semi-Annual Election for officers Of this Associa-
ton, we failed to announce that the present FL
nancisl Secretary, Mr. P. KENNEDY was rechosen
by large vote.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR CoLoGNE.-Jean Marina
Farina, whose fame is pleasant in our nostris,
finding his name and works multiplied to an In
definite extent, so that all the eau de Cologne
bearing his stamp, annually poured out, would
make current equal to his native Rhine, has at
last evolved from the inner depths Of his sense OF
perfume series Of new and delightful extracts
Their favors are, successfully, lemon, orange
lime, bergamot, citron and Portugal-fresh and
soft as a shower that falls among the blooms Of
May, and rich as the breath of morning in the
Orient. Our specimens come from the establish
ments of Rushton, Clark 4 Co. and Rice & Smith,
725 Broadway.

RoDI-To night the week whose commencement
was made memorable by the production of Clio
vdnna d. NapOl, fifty closes with the first appear
ance of M. Hauser, the noted German violinist.
The programme, which appears this morning in
our advertising columns, is one OF the richest
which has been offered to our musical public.
HAUsER plays three of his own compositions, so
that his share Of the performance will be new in
every respect. If he stands equal with his fame,
he will be sure to fill place among us that has
for several years been vacant. PARoDI sings for
the first time in a grand ScenG from La GAIA

GIOVANNI DI NAPoLI.-Last night STRA-
KoscH's new and successful opera of GiOvanna di
NopOH was given for the third time at the Opera
House. The house was large and brilliant, and
that dreaded third night which is the bridge be-
tween failure and success, left no doubt as to
which side the fortunate composer stands upon
Among the frequenters of the Opera we heard no
sentiment but satisfaction, and no prediction but
of still better.triumphs. The Opera was hardly so
well sung as on the previous nights. PARoDI was
evidently laboring under indisposition and per-
formed her part without her usual inspiration.
LoRINI sang his charming solo in the third act
with spirit and feeling; the Instrumentation was
admirable throughout, especially in that delicious,
lullng tyemul0 which precedes the sleeping scene
SrRAKoscH wears his laurels with becoming mo
desty, and we are glad to learn that he will have
benefit on Tuesday evening next-an occasion
at which every one who has genuine love for
music. will attend We also learn that he is
about contracting with publisher of this city for
the purpose of bringing out the opera entire
