cantarice who has just returned from prosecuting her
studies in Italy, the principal feature Of the evening
Her voice is soprano o9oo rich in quality and Of great
purity and cvenness, its principal strength however,
lying in the middle register. is wanting somewhat in
fexibily but as her style is dramatic and she has
studied in the best school, 1t made up for by fine de-
clanatory Manner which qualities her admirably
for the operate stage. From this description II
will be understood that she gave with much
more eject the grand cavatipa from Beatrice d
Tenda 80 mic Fedei,' than the aria from semiramiie
Icl raggio usnghicr,' which has never been popular
here and is very trying to artist aborng under the
nervousness of first appearance. Notwithstanding
this disadvantage, Madame Blanchard took all diff

that under circumstances inspiring greater

presiding at the latter instrument. The first Of
these is an idyl pcturng the tranquility and happiness
of rural life, tho second hunting with all its
citing and boisterous phases Tho prevailing idea Of
both compositions seems have been eff ct such
fusion Of orchestra and piano to give to the latter its
characteristic value among the instruments without for
the sake of its individual display, dcracting from tho

HUMILATING Position OF The UNITED STATES,
IN THE EYES OF EuRoPE-The Father of His
Country warned the people of the Enited
States, in bis farewell address, that the destruc-
ton of the unity Of the republic, would have
for its inevitable result, its enfeeblement and
degradation in the eyes of foreign Powers;
and that, while rendered by it contemplate
externally, we would also lose self respect,
and be liable to the horrors Of a military des-
potlsm. How prophetic his solemn utterances
have already become, at the very outset Of our
sectional differences! Scarcely five months
have elapsed since the election of republican
President of the United States, and what is the
bumiliat'ng spectacle, presented by both the
Nor'h and the South? The organs of the Wash
II gton administration degrade themselves by
making open boast that 1t has been promised
the aid and assistance Of England and France,
while the Southern press congratulate the
Montgomery government upon prospective
commercial alliances, which it thinks will in.
sure strong European support for the slave
holding confederacy. "Entaogling alliances"
which have been ever considered as q great
evil, to be carefully Stunned by every sound
patriot and statesman, are now courted by the
leaders Of the two sections, just as rival chief
taius snd parties have hitherto done, IN Mexico
ana the petty South American States.
An article from the London Times of March
2S, witch will be foand in another column Of
the paper, contemptuously alluies to the fact
tharthe " Northern ana Southern States have
entered into q race with each other for popu-
lariiy, with the determination not to be outbid
bv rival" and IL adds, IA the inevitable con-
sequence Of such a state OF things" America
must not suppose that she can enjoy, when d.
vided into two hostile republics all the great
AID unprecedented advantages which she DOS
sessed, while she was content to dwell under
the banner OF one" Ii such judgment was
just, even willie there was q chance of peace

one OF Mr.. JoHS Bulls POPULAR DEIU-
sIoNs.-The London Times, in the course of al
article upon the cotton supply declares that
the poeition Of the market for that staple is
like that OF man who has died holding fat
offce-the breath is no sooner out of his body
han there are hundred applicants for his
place. So with cotton. As soon AZ it is ascer-
tanned that there Is remote probability that
the British manufacturers may experience some
difficulty in obtaining their supply from the
Southern States, half dozen countries are
Offering themselves for the place. Australia,
Persia, China, Algeria, Central America, are
all mentioned, and the Cotton Supply Associs-
ton is expected TO encourage the cultivation
Of the plant in those countries. The Times and
the Cotton supply Association are laboring I'M
der popular delusion. More than seventy years
ago the cultivation OF cotton was attempted In
various parts of the world, and experiments in
the same line have been continued ever since
with very little success. 1t has been proven
that the finer quality of cotton, such rs the
British manufacturer must have, can only be
grown In the United States. Egypt raises
very little; but elsewhere the product OF the
plant is only ft for the manufacture Of coarse
s,p%s. The place Of King Cotton has thus, and
thus only, been preserved, and whatever may
be the result of the revolution in this country.
