dersi.nd that difficulties and differences, nego-
uations ard counter-negctiatio projects and
contemporaries, exist TO great extent among

Ball has been taken very i'll in consequence Of
all this, and has two physicians in constant
attendance upon him, and also the prayers Of
half dozen prima donnas, who are waiting
for him to i.nish the new engagements, and liz
the eventful nigh. for their debuts. The latest
rumor is that Jacobsobn, who has the new
tyoape lately engaged in Europe by Siguor
Uliman, has opened new negotiations with James
Phalen, the Magnus Apollo Of fashionable
society, and the great master spirit Of the

Signor Ullman from his European mission to
engage artists, and Of Signor Strako;cb, who

According TO the graphic accounts which we
have received from all siles, the negotiations
during the past six months for the establish
ment Of the opera in New York, and for the
organization Of fashionable society on a lrn
and permanent basis, would make one Of the
most piquant and exciting book ever presented
to the public !; it would almost bea. The
brochure lately put forth by the Chevaler
Wisof, and be far superior to the vulgar trash
Of the Chevalier Barnum. Can any one who
has been behind the curtain give US the
sketches?

notwithstanding all that my be said to the
contrary, are in fact the truest friend-the
most undoubted friend, and the most ardent ad-

Weed is startling the public by the publication
Of letters throwing light up0n his proceedings

the aid Of tie Know Nothinss achieved the ruin
of the Wig party and rnurlow Weeds object
