Even the hope, which we gather from il, that
this distinguished gentleman is improving, is

Judge Bayly's participation in its proceedings
will be national loss. He is the great Com
moner, whose words of wisdom and patriotism
have more than once grieved the unholy spirit
Of fanaticism, and stayed its destroying march
over the institutions Of our noble country.
Still we hope for the best; and while we would
not have his health further impaired by an i'm
prudent, exercise Of his representative duties, we
trust that he may yet be restored in time 10 rem

8 The PhP of Ayutla."

In The accounts o + ne late Mexican revolution
this phrase j. often used 10 describe the basis OF
the new movement and the test applied to ascer-
tain the fidelity Of lis leaders. This plan or basis
for the construction OF a new Government is EN-
braced in nine articles, and takes its name from
the city where il was adopted by the revolutionary
leaders. Its important features are:
Prescription OF Santa Anna and his adherents !;
the organization of temporary and provisional
Government by delegates elected, one from each
State and Territory, who shall elect temporary
President aud constitute his Council until the
establishment OF "A permanent Government; the
chiefs OF the revolutionary forces in each State
shall organize temporary local governments, on
the basis of State independence and national unity
limitation of the United States; the President
shall order the election of congress, for the pur
pose OF constituting Representatives constitutional
Government; the recruiting and passport laws
and capltatlon tax are to cease al once all who
oppose this plan are 10 be treated enemies Of
the national Independence.
The revolutionary party, since The abdication
aud flight OF Santa Anna, have been quietly pre-
pairing the organization Of the new Government
upon these ideas.--Nat IateHigenccr.

President Pierce I'm Pennsylvania.

The following teegruphc dispatch appears in
the Baltimore Sun of yesterday morning:
HARRIsBURG, September 26.-Our city has
presented most animated spectacle to-day, and
is thronged TO overflow with visiters. All the
principal hotels are decorated with flags and
banners suspended the streets at various
points.
The trains of continue to arrive crowded
with passengers, whilst wagons and vehicles of
every description are pouring in from the sur
rounding country. IL is doubtful whether they
will all find sleeping quarters tonight.
" At twelve o'clock to-day the concourse as
sembled at the railroad depot TO receive and well
come the President of the United States. lie
was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers,
whilst a national salute of thirty guns was fired
by the military. lie was accompanied from Bal
timore by ex-Mayor Hollins, Hon. Joshua Van
SAINT, Hon. John p. Kennedy, Robert M. Ma
graw, and Zenos Barnum, esqs, and large de-
legation OF Baltimoreans.
After being welcomed by the authorities, to
which he briefly responded, he was conducted 10
his rooms at Behlers hotel, and after dinner, ac-
companied by the governor Of the State and a
committee OF the Agricultural Society, visited
the fair grounds, where he was also heartily well
coined by the spectators
The display of cattle, horses, chickens, agr-
cultural implements, produce, and household
productions, is very fine, and the grounds are
admirably arranged. The weather has been very
favorable up TO the closing this evening, but il is
now cloudy and threatening storm"

TIRE srARAr MArER.

On "Wednesday evening last was produced at
ST. Matthew's Church, for the benefit Of the
orphans at Norfolk and Portsmouth, this master
piece Of Rossni in style superior TO any sacred
music ever performed in this city. The church
was thronged the seats, the aisles, the galleries
We're filled at an early hour with a cultivated au-
dence.
The organ is fine, deep toned instrument,
and was under the skilful mastery of Mr.,
Palmer, whose playing was the theme of uniyer-
sal commentator, assisted by the violin of
gentleman too well known To require praise from
us. The opening chorus was performed in a
brilliant manner, and prepared the audience for
the musical treat before them.
Il is difficult task for an unlearned critic to
specify the different voices, with appropriate
names; and no invidious comparison is intended
to be made; in large number of performers,
there are always some whose natural gifts are
greater than others. The well known voices of
an accomplished gentleman of the first ward, and
an interesting member of his family, were highly
praised; especially in duet of the latter, as also
the fine cultivated tenor of professional gentleman
recently settled among us. The solo sung by him is
beautiful specimen of music, and was executed
to the delight of all present. the basso solo by
English gentleman was well performed, as also
delightful tenor solo by lady.
The portion, however, Of the production which
produced the finest effect, was the imprimatus,
1t is impossible to convey in words the wonderful
effect of this part Of the performance; the choir
seemed to have studied it with more care; the
magical combination of voices, the grand swell
of its ma jestic chorus, and high above all singing
clear and liquid, the delicious contrasts now
mingling with the sonorous tones of the organ
and chorous and thus soaring above them all in
such extactic strains, was effect more astonish
ing than anything we have ever listened to. 1t
is exaggeration TO say that this voice is one of
the first quality, not surpassed by professional
training and skill anywhere.
The address of Mr.. Donelan in behalf Of the
poor little orphans Of Norfolk and Portsmouth
touching and effective, and was responded to
literally Thus was passed delightful evening in
listening to the most cultivated music and in
gratifying the best feelings of our nature in sooth
ing the sorrows ofthe helpless children left by the
dreadful calamity.
