ACADEMY OF MUsic.-Last night a full house as
sembed to hear the newy-organized Italian Opera
Company. The novelty Mr.. jacobs, the Ameri-
can tenor lie was not successful. With occasional
sweetness, he is unsteady sometimes out OF tune, and
besides is wanting in vgor and dramatic
expression. What he is to achieve by study we can
not determine, but it may be safely affirmed
that at present he will not answer. The
merits of Mrs. WilhorSt are well known; but
among them we cannot class her prrsoaotioa
of last night. Mrs. Aldin sang her solos with much
decamatory vigor, but was wanting in the low con-
tralto notes Mr. Morel was encored in bis solo, aud
was the best vocalist of the evening. The leader
Dir. Nicolao, must have better chance to prove his
mettle; at present he shows himself very careful but
over demonstrative.

PPACTTCABILITY or A CANAL ACROSS

Correspondence of The Baltimore Sun.
WASHINGTON, May I5 1857.
Adyiees have been received here in regard to the
recent expedition of DIR. Caldwell of the United States
sbin Independence TO the Isthmus of Darien. The
statement of Dr. Caldwell is highly interesting aud
important 1t verifes the views and facts heretofore
presented by the English civil engineer Mr. Osborne,
waters of the two oceans across the lsthmus OF
Daren Lieutenant Strain, on the part of this Gov
eminent was sent to the lsthmus in lSo3 to act IN
CONJUNCTION with English engineers in survey of this
interoceanc route.
The expedition failed. Lieut.. Strain and his party
barely escaped with their lives from the perls Of the
expedition The report made Of the result by Lienten
AMI Strain will be found in the Navy Report for 1854
He pronounced the route to be impracticable by rea
son of the immense grades to be overcome. But Dr.
Caldwell proceeded fai enough from the Pacific side
10 obtain view of the Atlantic, and states that the
route is perfectly well adapted to canaizaticn. The
report of DIR. Caldwell will give fresh impulse to an
investigation of this important question.

The Missouri DgnocRAT.-The Republicans Of

frs htened bar-keeper had mounted the counter for
SAT. dy but the dog espying him there made several
unsuccessful leaps to get at him.
