B0-oAAPB1LI 4 CAsFLR's EEs1lsH oPH-
RA TRoup1, made their first appearance last
evening, IN the celebrated opera of the
Bohemian Girl. They we're greeted by
very large and most fashionable audience.
We were promised q rare musical treat
in the visit of this Troupe to our city, and
we certainly were not disappointed in their
first appearance. We are only sorry that
the lateness of the hour at which we write,
prevents our doing this celebrated Troupe
justice in meritorious deliniation of the
prominent characters. The opera itself is
justly among the most celebrated. The
principal characters were MIR. Campbell as
Count Arnheim, Mr.. Castle as Thaddeus, a
Polish Refugee, Mr.. Warren as DevilshOof,
the leader of Gypsy Band, and Miss Fan
ny Stockton as Airline the Bohemian Girl.
We never saw more vivid portraiture of
character and feeling, than was exhibited
by each of these artists in their particular
role.
The singing was of the highest order, and
perhaps we can pay no higher compliment
to the whole performance than to say that
the audience were perfectly carried away
with delight.

I2rNaw OIL THEoar-Msuy theories
or HAND AND FOR SALE AT THIS oEngE.

BrNsw OIL THEoRY.-Mauy theories
have been advanced to account for the orr.
gin of Petroleum. The chemical comb
nations and the operations of the great
laboratory provided by nature, have been
Variously discussed, but the main question
as to its composition aud production seems
to be still question of doubt. The many
purposes for which it is used make it one
of the most important products that enters
into the commerce of the world. Every
thing connected with the subject is viewed
with great interest, and we present the fol-
lowing new theory advanced by Mr.. william
H. HubheIl, of Philadelphia:
petroleum is a vegetable oil, which is
produced in the Pacific Ocean, by the de.
composition of sea plants; and mixed with
salt water, it pervades the open Polar Sea,
discovered by DR.. Kane, and prevents it
from freezing; that, being lighter than wa.
ter, the centrifugal force Of the earth, in its
rotation, causes the water or the denser
fluid 10 accumulate about the equator, and
consequently the petroleum or lighter fluid
to separate from it, and flow and accumu-
late about the North Pole; that, being
light and oily, it is highly susceptible of
capillary attraction that this sandstone
strata crops out in the Arctic Ocean, and
absorbs this oil, inducing it by capillary
attraction TO hoW in it's channel or strata
under this continent in a southerly and
southwesterly direction that it crops out
again in the Pacific Ocean, and the oil
there recedes and mingles with the water
Of the Pacific, giving the Ocean its mild
and placid character, and forms the we'll
known and oleaginous food for whales,
which ia visible and exists in the water of
the ocean, and extends thousands of miles
northward, and on which the whales live
and derive their oil, and is called their
feeding ground.
In the Pacific Ocean it flows again north.
ward through Behring's Straits, by the
Same law which made it accumulate in the
open Polar Sea; that is, being lighter than
water, and not capable of uniting with it,
the water, which ia heaviest, will accumu-
late about the equator, while this oily,
lighter matter will flow to the North Pole,
and there form the opea, unfrozen sea-
Thus it performs it's great Office in the lab
oratory of nature, flowing in a circle
through this particular strata of sand. stone,
under this continent from the Arctic to the
Pacific Oceans by capillary attraction, and
is there plainly visible in4the water in a
coagulated form as the food of whales, pre-
pared in and by the very salt and dense
water of that temperature, and flowing in
the process of separation for thousands of
miles northward, forming necessarily the
open or unirozen sea, and being the great
basin of carbon or oil of the earth for the
use of man."
