PAIMo's OrgRA HousE. performances at this
house by the burlesque opera troupe, are attended
nightly by large audiences, and the performances
give the highest satisfaction The company is well
organized, and really their manner of executing the
original music of the operas that they buresque, is
very clever and correct.


VAUxHALL GARDEN.-The songs and dances that
are nightly given at this neat little place of amuse
ment, are highly creditable to the management Of
Mr.. De la Rec. The garden is well patronized, and
tonight Mr.. II. j. Hamilton takes benefit.


The BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL small noise is
made in some quarters about the election Of "na-
tve President of the Board of Education. But this
is matter which nativism,' have heretofore
known it, had nothing to do. The election Of Mr.
Johnson was the result Of movement of the pract-
cal good sense of the majority of the Board, which
seeks to prevent unnecessary expenditure, by
building school houses where they are not need
ed, and also to prevent the exclusion of the
Bible, whether Protestant or Catholic, from the
schools. "Nativism," as it now exists in this
Board, is widely different, indeed, from that foul
spirit OF bgotry and prescription which burned the
temples Of the Most High in Philadelphia. Mr.
Bleecker, for instance, who represents the Fifth
Ward, is ranked amongst the "native" members
and he is "native, and his ancestors for genera
tions back were s'natives," but he is not bigot;
not narrow-minded sectary, but man of practica'
good sense and liberal sentiments. We should be
very glad to see plenty more of such "nativism."


WARS IN THE WIND ?-About two days since,
the revenue cutter Spencer lying at this port receiy
ed orders to fit out instantly for cruise. The or
ders, instead Of being sent through the Collector Of
the PORT as customary, were written by the Secre-
tary himself and contained sealed letter of drec-
tio, not to be opened until the vess arves outside of
Sandy Hook The last two days has been occupied
in getting in gums shot, ammunition, and dprovisions.
Her destination is matter of speculation entirely
unknown to the officers on board. A new COM
mander, Capt. Bince, who had been wounded in the
navalservice, during last war, has just joined her.
Whether she is ordered to join the fleet in the Cult,
or bears dispatches in the same quarter, or what
ever be the purpose of her sudden cruise, she will
under the command of SO able an officer, be apt to
give good account of herself. The Spencer, our
readers may know, is pierced for Is guns, and car
ries long Tom amidships.


Mormon AFFAIRs.-By the Warsai0 Signal of the
4th instant, it appears that the Mormon affairs are,
as usual, mixed up in the most .nterminable difficult
ties, and that much excitement and angry feeling
had been expended on both sides. The editor had
just been acquitted on trial for participation in the
murder of Joe Smith and, according to his account
the most unblushing perjury had been resorted to by
the Morlnons to convicthim, but in vain. Robberies
of the Gentle merchants, as they called in Nau-
VOC, were of every day occurrence, and those who
refused to join the Mormon bands, were grossly
abused and beaten. Among the Saints themselves
the gros sest crimes represented being of daily
occurrence and all legal proceedings appear to be
stopped in their city What melancholy picture o.
part of christian country in the nineteenth CEN
tury.
