The Concert.

The first concert in Washington by Madame AIboni
and the artists associated with her, on Tuesday eve
ming, delighted very brilliant and appreciatye audi
ence, which filled the saloon TO its utmost capacity
The peculiar charm OF Abon, in contrast with the other
artists Of her grade who have sung this country is her
absolute freedom from every appearance Of effort
while her voice is performing its most difficult feas and
producing hnes, effects II may be doubted fer instance
whether any other living vocalist execute the closing
passage OF Rhodes famous Variaions-a morceau appa
rently designed to tax the singers art and skill TO
the very ulmost-ss it was given by Alboni. Bat
she regarded lis difficulties no more than if she had
been singing the simplest ballad, and, preserving the
perfect repose OF manner while she went through them
all, she left the stage as il in the whole dazzling feat
Of execution she had merely permitted the notes to pour
themselves forth without thought voon OF her own
The remark applies in TO her singing
OF the famous Brindis from Lucreza Borga, which,
given by Albon is TO us at least almost piece Of
music, although it has been sung often by artists less
able to render adequately Upon the whole, it is not
too much TO say that on Tuesday evening Madame Al
bon fairly surpassed the extraordinary expectation which
preceded her arrival here.
Sgnors Revere, Sangiovann and Ardi each made
most favorable Impression
second and last concert is announced for this
ing, II will be sure 10 oil the house at early hour
The programme is well selected but regret to miss in
il the famous Non pin nssfa from Cenerentola, which
has been regarded, we believe the most remarkable
OF Alboni's triumphs in this country. We hope that
it may be possible for her give third concert before
leaving our city. There be little doubt that here, as
elsewhere the attraction Of her singing will be increased
rather than diminished, BY the frequency OF opportunities
for enjoying il.

contributed greatly 10 this end In every department. OF
government the utmost activity and efficiency have char

servants who have honored themselves in doing their

bugbear used by interested parties frighten emigration
from our borders, has, in great measure, ceased 10
ist and from every direction population being
augmented by the accession of the hone and sinew OF

Another Revolution in Mexico-santa Anna
Recalled
From the Panama Star Of


We yesterday, for the first tme learned from gentle
man who came passenger on the New Orleans, which
arrived last Saturday night that revolution had broken
the recall OF Santa Anna TO again take hold of the reins
OF government
How far into the interior the revolutionary spirit had
spread was not known at the moment OF latest adj
vices from Acapulco but from previous Indications and
intelligence from the Atlantic side, cannot but sup
pose II TO be general throughout The country. ~
II is well known that General Santa Anna has been
living since his exile from Mexico, Carhagena on
The Atlantic side OF this republic. A late paper from
that city brings us information that ntelsence had
reached the distinguished Mexican to the feelings of
his counitymen and that be would sail for Mexico in
lew days., to assume the new powers conferred upon
him. ~
While awaiting by California steamer and papers from
the Atlantic, confirmation and further particulars OF this
new revolution, we may express our belief that under the
present circumstances OF Mexico General Santa Anna
is the only living Mexican, of whom we have any
knowledge, who squaled in the least degree to be at the
head OF her affairs And from him a great deal
OF real good is much TO be expected by outsiders He
always possessed greater influence among his country
men, when in power, than any oil those possessed who
have al different times succeeded him; but, being like the
rest OF his counymen, deceu selfish. and merce
his political career has been marked by many changes
one day elevated 10 the pinnacle Of his ambion-the
next Frustrated in The dust finding poor as to do
him reverence Possessed Of talents OF no ordinary
character, both civilian and soldier, he stands pre-
eminent among his counymen their chief leader in
times OF difficulty when they seek for him wherever he
may be found 10 throw around him the panoply and
gaudy trappings OF power of which they are equally
ready and ungraefuly willing 10 divest him soon as
the storm that threatened them has blown over.
HIS recall - his country at this present time we think
- mainly due 10 the emergency in which Mexico finds
herself placed in her relations with the United States, in
me iehuantepec and other important matters. Santa
Anna IS probably the only who ward of imme-
date collision between the two nations, short Of an ac-
tual and immediate abandonment Of the grounds hitherto
occupied by Mexico and remains be seen whether or
not even he long defer the manifest destiny" which
awaits his country,
We hold our breath for further information.
