nTAt the Germania Concert, We'd
ncsday evening, and at MIR. RusselPs
Readings, Friday evening,we were eXces-
sively annoyed by persons in the vicin-
ity, who were constantly talking, rat
ling paper, laughing, &C., just as il'noth-
ing was going on. Some of the sweet
est strains of music by the Germanians,
and some of the lowest and most pa
thetic tones Of Mr.. Russei's voice were
entirely lost to us, in consequence of
these il.-mannerly noises. Persons who
visit such places shouldremember that Il,
they do not care to listen to the perform,
ances themselves, those around them
do, and it is very unpleasant for them
to be thus annoyed. Besides this, such
interruptions give evidence of a great
want of good-breeding, and show la
mentablc deficiency ofthe lady and gen.
tleman. We trust that this reprimand
will be sufficient, and that the persons
to whom we allude will take the hint
and conduct themselves more appro-
priately in future if they do not we
shall be ap, to adopt some more strirt-
gent measures, and publish their names,
at future time. Such course would
not place them, as ladies and gentlemen,
in very enviabIc light, and yet they
deserve it, for all persons visiting any
public place are bound to conduct
themselves in an appropriate manner,
ut all events SO as not to interrupt and
annoy those around them.

An old writer thus describes a talka-
tive female :-"l know lady who talks
SO necessarily that she won't give an
echo fair play. She has such an ever
lasting rotation Of tongue that an echo
must wait until she dies before il can
catch her last words"

SENSATION AMONG THE BACHELOR

SENSATION AMONG THE BACHELORS
An Oregon writer to the Boston
Traveller says the young ladies sent
out as teachers by Gov. Slade have ar
rived notwithstanding the bond OF
$50 imposed on them in case of mar
riage within year, they have created
quite a sensation among the unmarried
gentlcman.-And as the land bill makes
every lady worth 32O acres, il taken
before December next you will be quite
safe in believing that Oregon will soon
be without teachers, unless another
supply Is despatched Immediately.

u-The Gcrmanians gave n Sacred
Concert Sunday evening, in the Saloon
Of the Ocean House. There were but
few present, except the boarders at the
House. They performed some OF their
most exquisite Sacred Music, which
was generally listened to with perfect
silence. These Sacred Concerts cer-
tainly inspire as much reverence and
purely devotional feeling as any kind of
religious service at Church. The slow,
swelling eloquence Of sounds, the calm,
measured cadence OF tones, as they
have been created and devoted to the
praise Of that Being who Is the author
OF Music, which is the natural language
OF the soul as il communes with its
Creator,--mus always lift the thoughts
and feelings Of the heart from the de.
graduation and folly oi earth, up to that
throne Of purity around which no sound
is heard except the celestial notes of
golden harps which are touched by an
gels and all the redeemed Of heaven
and the voices Of beings who rejoice in
spiritual perfection.

THE CRYSTAL PALAcE. The follow
ing is Mr.. Paxton's proposal Tor con-
Ver,ipg the Cry stal Palace into Win
ter Park and Garden -
"A building like this, if properly laid
out, will open wide field Of intellectual
and heallhful enjoyment; it will likewise,
hope, stimulate the wealthy in large
manufacturing towns TO similar adop-
tion Of what may now be raised so cheap
ly and when udiciously furnished with
vegetation, ornamcn;ed with sculpture
and fountains, and illustrated by the
beautiful works Of Nature, how pure, el-
evating, and beneficial would its cxer-
cises be 1! At present England furnish
cs no such place Of public resort; for al
though Kew has a splendid palm-housc,
where a great number of individuals are
congrega,ed daily, yet its warm and
humid atmosphere is only calculated TO
admit Of visitors taking hasty view of
the wonders Of the tropics, as they pass
in their walks through the gardens

en- propose. climate would be the prin-
cipal thing studied all the furnishing
and filing up would have special refer
encc to that end, so that the pleasures
found in II would be OF character
which all who visit could share. Here
could be supplied the climate Of south
ern Italy, where multitudes might ride,
walk, or recline amidst groves Of fra
grant trees, and here they might leis'
urely examine the works OF nature and
ART, regardless Of the biting cas-, winds
or the drifting snow.
"In the Winter Park and Garden the
trees and plants might be SO arranged
as to give great diversity Of views and
picturesque effect Spaces might be set
apart for equestrian exercise, and for
carriage drives but the main body Of
the bull ling should be arranged with
the view Of giving great extent and va
riety for those who promenade on foot
Fountains, statuary, and every descrip-
ton ofpark and garden ornament, would
greatly heighten the effect and beauty
OF the scene. Beautiful creeping plants
might be planted against the columns.
and trailed along the girders, SO rs TO
give shade in summer, while the effect
they would produce ty festooning in

chanting and gorgeous finish. Besides
these, there might be introduced COL
lection OF living birds from all temperate
climates and the science Of geology,

plants might be illustrated on a large
and natural scale thus making practi-
cal botany, ornthology and geology fa-
miliar TO every visitor"

WEST Troy, July IL, 1851.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
hope you will continue to urge, through the
columns Of the Era, the necessity of speedy and
liberal yet thorough, organization Of the friends
OF constitutional freedom throughout the land
There are thousands in the Empire State who are
disguised with the empty and hollow-hearted pre-
tensions Of both Wing and Locofoco Hunkerism
There is not copper to choose between the two,
and those who set higher value on principles
than they do on the shattered fragments Of party
organizations would gladly avail themselves of an
opportunity to rally around the standard of free
dom and equal rights, whenever it should be I'M
furled For one we are heartily sick Of the
thousand and one collateral questions which have
been thrust into our ranks, thereby dividing and
conquering usD Worse, infinitely worse than
chidren's folly is the eternal din of petty ques-
tions, while the great fundamental question, which
of all others should stir the soul of the nation to
its very CENTRE is lost sight of mean the ques-
tion Of human rights, Of universal freedom accord
ing to the law of the living God and the Declare
ton of American independence. We laugh at
freaks and follies of children but verify there
are " children of larger growth whose strange
and anomalous absurdities on questions of the
most vital interests to the country, to themselves
and to mankind, find no parallel in the giddy i'm
pulses OF childhood. u these big, grown-up boys,
who have not, and we fear never will, come to
either the age or stature Of true political man
hood, playing marbles aud spinning tops, while
Despotism lights her forge in their very presence
and her practioed eye takes the dimensions Of the
limbs which shall certainly wear her letters Sure
ly it ia folly, in the extreme, to cit tamey silent
until we are pinoned and bound at every point
and then, when the fortunes inflicted, to shout
for relief. We go for the struggle, here and now,
and let us grapple with the foe while calling for
help. Yours for the right, J. M EGLLs
