Miss Jenny Busk.

The audience present at Jenny Busk's concert,
came away highly delighted, their anticipations
having been more than realized. Miss Jenny
acquitted herself in manner which took those
who had heard her on a former occasion with,
agreeable surprise. Her modest and childlike
appearance upon the stage elected the sympathy
OF the audience in advance, and when, with a
strong, clear and rich voice, she warbled forth
her sweet notes, they testified their delight by
repeated applause. AT the close of the Cavatina,
in the piece entitled Robert le Diable, beautiful
bouquet was thrown upon the stage. Mr. KIey,
whom Ole Bull pronounces one of the best
pianists of the age, presided at the piano, and
astonished the audience with the elegance of
his style, briiancy of finish power of express
sion, and wonderful execution
The audience was not as large as it would
have been, had rot storm of wind and rain,
about the hour of the concert, prevented many
from coming.

The Southern manifesto Is abe ut TO make its
appearance at Washington, over the signatures
OF that portion of the Wing members Of Con
gress who seeded from, or would not attend
the memorable caucus ia the Senate chamber
last Tuesday week The recent action of the
Wing convention ia North Carolina, and the
speech made by Mr.. Stephens in the House
yesterday, will be likely 10 make it in tone bold
confident and decisive.
The Wings of North Carolina have resolved
that Willard Fillmore is their first choice for the
Presidency, and William A. Graham for Vice
President, but that they will SUPPORT the nomi.
nees OF the national convention, if they are I'M
equvocally in favor Of sustaining the compro-
mise measures, which they insist should be ad-
hered to and carried into faithful executon as
final settlement in principle and substance, of
the dangerous and exciting subjects they n
brace; and they declare it as the opinion of the
convention that no candidate for the Presidency
or Vice. residency can obtain the vote Of the
Wing party of North Carolina unless he is be-
yond doubt in favor Of maintaining the entire
series Of compromise measures.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, yesterday defined
his position upon the question Of the Presi-
dency, in terms at once plain and comprehend
ble Assuming, to some extent, to speak for,
his constituents, also, the pith of his speech may
be summed up thus !" Neither nor they intend
to vote for any man, or set Of men, for Congress,
or for President, ioho w,u mol unquaiifedly
pledge himself IN favor Of The fugitive Stare iao."
The elaments of party it will be seen are
approaching their crisis. As we have repeatedly
said, the only great issue is a Onion and const
tutonal one. The Wing party must resolve
| IN unity to sustain the compromise, and the
whole compromise, Or its doom is sealed That
il will do SO we doubt and the final result will
be new national party founded on theruus of
both of the old parties.-N Y Epening Mirror.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
STATES MAIL STEA SHIP
COMPANY-TH THROUGH PASSAGE TO

(.JLfI OftsNfI.
TIME public will be gratiied to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abed to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers, through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, land the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
| These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips TO San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
| patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama TO San Fran
| cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HupsoS.
lTHMUS, Capt. HircHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt PrcE
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLkr.
| Their Atlantic aud Gulf Line, from New York
to ChagreB, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. PoRrrs, u. S. ~.
OHIO, Capt. ScHEscK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Copt. HARrsTrrs, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, 80 that no delay
beyond the usual stay OF the ship in port PanS-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations Of the
ships OF their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage TO California.
