mencing Burton's opened few evenings
ago Anderson, better known in England
as . the Wizard of the North" gave his
first public entertainment IN Triplcr Hall
ON Monday evening; and, on Tuesday
evening, Mrs Mowatt, the American Act
ress, after three years absence in England
where her success has been most hatter-
ing, appeared at Niblo's, in play called
Armand" written by herself while in
England, and played on the London
" boards" for several consecutive months,
attracting crowded houses, and exciting
unqualified admiration.
In short time, we shall have quite an
array Of Musical talent; for, in addition
to Catherine Hayes, who despite the nat
ural lukewarmness of the British for ma
tive vocal talent, has achieved a European
reputation, and, whether at Rome, Flor
encc, Paris, London, or in her native Ire
land, carries away all hearts, and defes
all the scgpticisms Of the critics. Besides,
this great Queen Of Song, we are also
/ promised Madame Amra Thillon, most
graceful and captivating songstrGss and
actress, who has been attractic large
houses in England, in musical entertain

At Homes" of Matthews.

those sources of plumber on which they
have so long prcyed, and are compelled
to depend upon the voluntary contribu-

party. But, inasmuch as nine tenths of
the party, in this city, is made up of En-
pirc Club men," Rock Boys" "Short
Boys" Shoulder Hitters," Shysters,"
ct I'd eelltS Onlne, who have always been
accustomed to receive money for their val
liable services in frightening respectable
people from the polls, the voluntary con
tributions' are dishearteningly meagre.-
As yet, there has not been money enough
raised, to furnish the unterrifed" with

Nothing will save LOcofOcoism but a wind
fall from some source OF other; for the

they are drawn out by the smell of good
liquor, and the merry jingle Of the dimes
Another triumph has been achieved by
the American Steamship, Baltic, which
arrived at this port, on Saturday, from
Liverpool, after run of only DAYS and
ID IL hours-thc shortest on record
She has thus proved herself to be the
"crack ship" of the crack line"
There was a joke current in Wall St,
on Saturday, that the Cunarders had
bought the Baltic in order to use her as a
8 tow boat" for their own slow craft and
that Collins was going, with the proceeds,
