OLE BULL made q brief speech at the Musical
Fund Hall, on Wednesday evening, after an en-
thusiastic encore lie said that the repeated
kndnesses of his American friends, after an alb
sence of seven years, touched his heart and made
him new man, and that he trusted to his actions
to speak louder than words. The speech, delivered
in broken English, and ndive in its character,
made quite an impression. His execution of
THE Mothers Prayer and the " Carnivale de
Venezia" was grand, and created the greatest
excitement. There were probably 50, 600 in the
house. Every available spot in the hall was oc-
cupied by fashionable and intelligent persons.

Mr.. SIDNEY SMITH.-We had the pleasure of
meeting, yesterday, Mr. Sidney Smith, the
British Vice Consul Mt Havana. Mr.. Smith has
endcared himself to our people by his manly,
humane, and philanthropic conduct towards our
countrymen, when abandoned by our own repre-
sentative to the cowardly insults and maltreat-
ment Of the Catalan rabble which oppresses the
island of Cuba. 1t is Mr.. Smiths purpose to
make tour of our country. We trust he will
everywhere receive the consideration and hospi-
tality due to gentleman of such noble heart and
gallant sympathies. A beautiful service of plate
was sent to Mr.. Smith. last winter, at Havana,
by the young men of New Orleans, as token of
their admiration for his kindness of heart and
generous behaviour to the wounded and distressed
survivors of the gallant but ill-fated expedition
which landed in Cuba under Gen. Lopez.
We understand he remains about ten days among
us prior to his departure for the North
New Orleans Delta, Man 7th.
