The HEIRS OF DERwENTwATER, By e. L.
Blanchard, esq, published by De Witt s. Da-
venport, New York, and for sale by Taylor g.
Maury, in this city, is romance, in which
fiction is lost sight of in the life-ike portraying
of the characteristics of high circle of English
society. The truth of the maxim that mans
exterior appearance, or lofty station, is no cri-
terion of his moral or intellectual character, is
truthfully exempEfed. The author is a good
observer of men and manners, and the many
beautiful passages in his book prove that he
has rich vein of poetry in his soul.

A SPEECH By BARNUM tickets for Jenny
Linds first concert in New York were sold at
auction yesterday morning, at from twenty-five
to seventy-fve per cent. premium. Certain
editors had SO strongly opposed this mode Of
disposing of the seats, that Barnum thought a
speech proper before the sale, and he accord
ingly stated that she had no way of giving the
whole people fair opportunity to hear the re-
nowned Songstress, except to offer the tickets at
public sale, in limited numbers, so that the dis
posal of the seats would be in the hands of those
who desired them" He said that che and
those connected with him in the management of
these concerts did not profess to be the best
shoemakers nor the best editors in the world !;
they did not desire to teach other people how to
conduct the business to which they were bred ;
but they believed that they knew something Of
the public wish in regard to their legitimate
business, and that they were quite as capable
of conducting the concerts in which they were
engaged as persons who had never had an hour s
experience in that line. In short, that while
properly thankful for good advice, from whatever
source it might come, he might be pardoned the
vanity of supposing that he was, in most in
stances, the better judge of the wants of the
public, and of the means and method of supply
He had tried the private sale system at Balti-
more, and the consequence was the tickets
were monopolized by spectators, and so much
dissatisfaction experienced that he was immedi-
ately forced back to sales by auction. There
would be no chance for complaint here; for each
one could bid whatever he pleased, or, since
there were more than five thousand seats in the
Garden, he might have chanceto get seats at
the par price of SD, So, or ST." After this
speech--as perhaps before-we find no difficulty
in acknowledging that Barnum understands his
business quite as well as most persons can teach
| it to him.

"FoREIGN DEMANDS AGAINST MEXICO. We pub
Iish an account Of the demand made by the ministers
of England, France, and Spain upon Mexico for the
debt due from the latter government to the former
respectively.
This is demand calculated to embarrass nation
whose financial condition is not perhaps in the most
fourshing condition. We observe, however, that
the Congress of Mexico had increased the duties.
probably for the purpose of making good the engage
ments.
1t is added that the ministers of the three great
powers referred have asserted that, unless paymen
be speedily made. decisive measures will be taken to
obtain payment. This is summary course of action.
and seems the singular from the combined de-
mand being made at the same time.''

The SOUTH. Can the people of the South place
any confidence in party, the leaders of which are
leagued with the Freesoers and AboIitionsts the
North. The Northern people were in favor of that
part of the Compromise which surrendered to the
North all of the newly acquired territory, by the add
mission of California State, with provision in
her Constitution excluding slavery. The Federal
Wing party South, also approved of it.
The Freesoilers and Abolitionists at the North APP
proved of that part of the Compromise which abol-
ished the slave trade in the District of Columbia So
did the Federal Wing party South.
The Freesoilers and Abolitionsts at the North re-
ioice at the passage of these measures and call them
peace measures So do the Federal Wings South.
So it will be that there is but very little diff
the North, and the Federal Wing party at the South,
at least so far as acts concerned. What is
