The CHARER ELKcrloN-MR. SKLDEN's ExrRAoR-
DiNARY SpEEcH.-Our municipal election is now in
the most interesting crisis. Mr.. Selden has shown
himself equal to the emergency, and in one night
has given to the aspect of parties in this city
AID most cheering character His eloquent, forci-
BILE and admirable speech at National Hall, on
Tuesday evening, has excited the warmest appro
baton CT the intelligent Of all parties. twas,
indeed, mastery effort, and will be productive Of
great and lasting benefit to the great cause of civil
and religious liberty.


In this charter election the municipal affairs of
the city constitute, comparatively, but one OF the
least important issues. The very existence of rel-
glcus liberty in this country is involved in the con-
test. We have no fear for the result. The maa-
ner in which Mr.. Selden has met and grappled with
the desplcable and intolerant movement called
:'nativeism," gives us good assurance that the
career of that miserable faction IS ended. MIR.
Selden has intimated his willingness to speak in
any one OF the wards, and we trust that his whig
friends will call upon him, and that by their united
exertisns the miserable rump to which "nativeism'
has been reduced, will be utterly annihilated on
the day of election.

was almost unprecedented, and we had to print

I CoNcERT OF THE HUTCHINSON FASnLY.-Last
night these young children Of the old Granite State
gave the first of series OF vocal entertainments at
Niblo's, before very full audience, who bestowed
upon them that applause to which native talent has
SO strong claims, and which they in some measure
deserved. The programme presented long list of
songs but very few Of them possess any merit, and
those which raise themselves above mediocrity are
spoiled through an arrangement which even an ap-
parent necessity cannot excuse. Amongst the
manifold kinds of vocal music, the qsdrtefto, or
song in four parts. ranks uppermost, and we would
hail its introduction in America as one OF the best

object OF their especial attention; but these quar-
tettos are entirely different from those ct the
Hutchinsons', which, in reality, are nothing more
than common ballads, written for one person, and
arranged and sung by four. The effect produced
by this contrvance certainly IS very pleasing, and
must even give "unbounded" delight to persons
who do not go the Italian opera because they do
not understand the language; but similar adapta-


ons cannot be countenanced as wrong IN principle,

by the original quartetto. With regard to execu
