The Sonnambula" of Bellini was given at Niblo's
asst evening, for the FIRST time its performance having
been postponed from Thursday evening account OF
the sudden illness of Mile Nan. The performance
in many respects, the best yet given by this
pany Mile Nau's execution of the brilliant music Of
Amna faultless, and her rendering Of the finale,
for correct taste and at the time profuse and de-
licate ornamentaton; have heard ex-
celled She displayed passion in the act
ing of Amina than of Lucia, and the effect
of her exertions in this point perceptble in the
furore which she awakened in the second act All our.
musical readers probably familiar with the music OF
'sonnambula' it is treat which grows old and
pals upon the appetite it always fresh,
and especially is it welcome when we nave such
an Amina as Mile Nau.
Mr. st. Albyn was the Elyino. Although it was an
uneven performance, and although he did not always
sing in tune, have heard English Elvino superior
to him. In the execution of "Stin gently" he
failed from want Of power In the sustained
notes. The music generally assimated to his style Of
voice, and when he failed it from nervous
anxiety to do too much Mr.. Irving disroI in act
ing the Count, but sang the music correctly. Miss
Brientis Lisa of the best heard and
she sung her aria in the third act with much
execution and sweetness of voice. Mrs. Poxzar who.
made her first appearance here Theresa has an ex
celent voice. and good method She received meritea
applause for her little with Lisa in the third
act
The chorus better than BEFORE and the orchestra

manifest, from the intrigues of the is inents
Of Seward, and from the tone and temper o.
his leading organs, that every question, every
issue, rything else in the policy and
programme of the seward coalition, is o be
sacrificed, if neces>.r.-. to the grand OIL ut Of
the reelection of the a. h.agitator to the Uni
ted States Senate. The Know Nothings, who
are calculating SO confidently upon defeating
him, are not, perhaps, aware of this fact; nor
Of the formidable resistance which they will
have to encounter in their efforts to suppant
their vigilant cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
enemy.
First then, the Seward coalition claim de-
cided majority in the new Assemble. The fact
has yet to be d. fnitely ascertained; but if there
be even 3 nominal majority for Seward, his
psrtizans will not lack the means nor the reso-
luton to use them 20 the great end of making
this nominal majority good for the reelection
of Seward. We have been promised the Maine
liquor law; but if it stands in the way of Sew
ard, it will be indefinitely postponed. The law
will be sold, if requ' red, for vote or two for
Seward; and this question involves wholesale
ard retail business Of millions of dollars The
Seward coalition have complete control of the
Canal Board, its contracts, its fat jobs, its rich
pickings and stealings, to the extent OF
millions of dollars more. What chance
is here for trafacking between Seward men
and soft shell administration men for the de-
feat of the Know Nothings! And why should
they not cooperate, the policy Of Seward and
the policy of the administration being precise
ly the same-the overthrow Of the Know No
things? Moreover, the whole programme for
1856 Of the new Northern an i-slavery coali-
ton depends upon the issue II the reelection
or the defeat Of Seward for the Senate. This
will bring the entire weight of the coalition, in
New York and out of New York, to bear upon
the Assembly at Albany in betah of Seward.
There is some trepidation among the Seward
organs; but his agents are all the more active
andstirring on this account. If be is re-eiect-
ed, the consequences may prove fata, not only
in the South but in the North, to the new Ame-
rican party. But If he can be defeated, and is
defeated, the course is Gear. How important,
then, that the Know Nothings ,hould instantly
harmonic, and 20 to work with the new As
sembly-take their sounaings, try the depth
of the water, and act as heir discoveries may
require. Where things are N state Of reyolu-
ton and change, aspiring politicians are thrown
into the market, and the first Corners have tue
first choice, according to the premiums which
they may offer. The real practical ssue is h..
ween the future prospects Of Sewardsm and the
prospects Of the Know Nothing. Let that be
tried amcng The members Of INC NV As emily.
