MASTER NICHOLAS GooDALL's CONCERT
To-NlGHr AT CRESCENT CITY HALL.-This
precocous and wonderful boy made his de-
but here on Saturday evening last. The
stormy weather and rain prevented number
of our families attending, but those who
were fortunate enough to be present, enjoyed
the greatest possible treat. His rendition OF
the various difficult violin solos was executed
in a fauItless manner; his intonation is sim
gularly correct, and bis style betokens that
he has been taught in the best school.
We are credibly informed that Master
Nicholas is also a pianist OF no mean abili.
ty, and will perform some difficult fantasies
on that Instrument tonight.
Heis ably assisted by Professor Goodall
whose buffo singing is the best we have
heard; but as a violoncello player,we scarce.
ly think he can be equalled. They visit us
with letters of introduction TO our families
also one from Bishop Spalding, of Louisville
So we CONNIE md this evenings concert te
our friends, and feel assured our recommen
dation of them will be worthy the occasion

Our re aders " i'll have observed in yester-
days Journal the proceedings OF meeting
of our citizens at the Court House on Satur-
day, at which preliminary steps were taken
for the permanent organization OF Hortl-
cultural Society in this county. We deem
the point conceded that the Importance and
necessity of the introduction OF systematic
manner Of horticulture, and the more scen-
tific and improved modes Of farming. abso-
IuteIy exist in our midst. The present
seems to be highly seasonable and favora-
BILE opportunity tor our citizens 10 move in
this matter successfully. Similar associa-
tons hitherto organized in difere mt sections
Of the country. had to rely mainly, if not
wholly, upon their own efforts and resources
to sustain themselves, and although in many
localities they have proven tightly beneficial
of the country, a new auxiliary is now offer
ed by the agricultural bureau Of the govern.
ment, which will not only greatly enhance
their usefulness, but stimulate other commu-
they do not now exist. Since the creation
of this new bureau, under the auspices oil
the government, Congress has made liberal
appropriations for the purpose Of making
collections of every variety OF seeds, grains
plants, roots ,vnes, &C., &C., from all foreign
countries with which we have Commercial
intercourse, with specimens of their produc
tons, the climate and soil congenial to thei
growth, manner OF cultivation, with sucf
other useful information as can be gathered
All persons sent abroad on government mis-
sions, and our navy officers, are instructed Il
aid in making such collections as come with
in their reach, on behalf Of the department
The apartments in the U. 8. Patent Offic,
are said to contain already a very large vari
ETY. of valuable seeds and other foreign an,
domestic specimens. The head of this de
partment, Mr.. Brown, has common
ced the distribution of seeds, &C.. to organ
lied societies throughout the United States
An assortment of several hundred varietie
have already been received here in anticipa
ton of the formation of the society befor
noticed, and further donations and instruc
tions are daily expected. The association
now temporarily organized, will NEE
again at the Court House in this city, OF
Saturday, the 81 Of February, at which tim
seeds and other articles received from tn
Office at Washington, will be distribute,
among the members Of the association. AL
persons interested IN the cause are invites
TO be present.
