The only musician who has been thought
to rival Paganini, is Ole Bull, whom most
of my readers have doubtless heard.
Few, however, who have heard both, will
be disposed to admit that the latter is wor
thy to be named with the former. Pa
ganini possessed genius Ole Bull sedu
lously cultivated talent alone. Paganini
hopelessly distanced all competitors. Qle
Bull has been excelled by Vieux Temps,
Artot, and De Beriot. The former I re
sembled, in his moods of inspiration, the
rushing cataract ; the latter would be mjore
appropriately symbolized by the placid,
rolling ' river. Energy, force, j passion,
boundless enthusiasm belonged tbthe one.
Grace, tenderness, mildness, and sweet
ness to, the other. Ptiganini demanded
and received the homage due to exalted
genius. X)le Bull wins applause Jby
the
very power of his gentleness. In short,
the Italian attained, scarcely with an ef
fort, to heights which the Norwegian I ne
ver can reach, though he devote a ife
time.to the pursuit. 1 do not wish to de
predate the talents of Ole Bull j he is ad
mirable, but he has not, nor has any one
else, caught the falling mantle of the won
derful Paganini. I

got into it. One fool, they say, makes

waited long before I sawhim coming
down the stairs. He had on a blue cloth
cap, from which hung what appeared to
be a bullion tassel, and he was so muffled
up in' the folds of a most voluminous fur
lined cloak that I could see nothing of him
but his pale, hawk-like nose, arid hs tva
dark, awful looking eyes, which seemed
to have no occupation, but in! anxiously
looking after a little boy, who, muffled up
like himself, was taken to the chaise jin the
arms of an attendant, his own servant.
This was his son, the only living thing, it
is said, towards whom he exhibited any
marks of attachment. ThT landlor told
me that happening, one day, to enter his
guest's room unannounced, he found Pa
ganini lying on the floor, hugging and
kissing the child, with the utmost earnest-
nesa. The irreat Fiddler, howeverl was
much enraged at the intrusion, and imme

door, a precaution he failed not to take
during the remainder, of his stay.

were taken most
y for export. Wheat went up
9 cents, and corni was held at an advance.
Ashes are a little quicker. The Cotton mar
ket is a little depressed.
In another article the Express thus speaks :
The news from Europe, by the Great Brit-
ain, continues to be highly important. Gieat
importance is attached to the partial failure of
the potatoe cropj. Besides this, the weather
had been exceedingly unfavorable in the north
ern portion of the kingdom. It appears to be
quite settled that the crops will fall considera
bly short of an average. It also appears that
in Holland, and iri other parts of the Continent,
there will be. a deficiency of many descriptions
of grain. Thes advices are calculated to have
a still further influence on pur market.
I Already has there from previous accounts,
been a rise in breadstuff's here, and upwards of
thirty thousand barrels have been exported.
Nor have the shipments been confined 'to 'flour.'
Last week, four thousand bushels of Rye were
purchased at the high price of seventy-one cts.,
to be exported to Holland. It is a singular fact,
that ever since thje organization of our Govern-
ment, this is the first instance, we believe, when
rye has been taken for the markets in Holland.
On the contrary, we have been accustomed to
receive large supplies of this article from that
country.
Letters have also been received from the
continent, ordering potatoes to be shipped from
here. There is. every prospect that corn as
well as flour will feel the effects of the news.
Besides grain and flour, cheese has continued
to go forward to England, ever since the fall
season commencejd, in greater quantities than
usual, and at higher prices. Instead of supplies
of grain being sent from Holland, Belgium, and
other parts of thej continent, to England, it is
now certain that those countries will be defi
cient, and they wilj have to import grain to make
up their deficiency.
The increased exports of flour, grain and pro
visions will increase our funds on the other
side, and should the imports not be increased,
Exchange must njile decidedly in our favor.
For several month past there has been so lit.
tie variation in Exchange, that there have
been no exports, hut rather increased receipts
of specie, j ;i
The Commercial "Advertiser says: "The
news is favorable) to the export of Breadstuff's
from this country .The failure of the potatoe
crop is even more general than was expected ;
theVe will be a serious deficiency in wheat, and
fears are entertained that there will be a falling
off in barley, oats, beans and peas. No sup
plies are expected from the Continental ports,
for the same state of affairs exists there. A-
mong the measjurjbs of relief recommended by
the English papers, the Manchester Guardian
suggests to the j consideration of Parliament,
when it re-assembles, the entire remission of
aH duty on the importation of Indian Corn."
Letters from Inland represent that there has
been great suffering in the ancient palatinates
of Sandumir, Plojck, Lublin, Augustow, as well
as in part of the
palatinate of Crarovia. Fa-
evils in its train had"been felt.
In those unfortunate provmces, entire masses of
people, deprive of every necessary, wander
about the countijy divided into bands, in search
of the fmost loathsome food, which is offener

ford nourishment. Numberless diseases, the
unavoidable consequence of destitution, rapidly
diminish the number of these unfortunate men,
and despair sometimes drives them to acts of
violence which the authorities are not always
able to repress.
The New York Tribune of Thursday morn
ing says: 1
"The Flour market has gone up under the
advices by the steamer about 374 cents per bar
rel and leaves off! firm at that advance. There
are considerably orders for shipment and ihe

The New York Express "of Friday evening
says : "The excitement still continues in con
sequence of the steamer's news. The specu
lation of flour, and grain continues. The ad
vance on flour has been nearly a dollar, which
is quite a new feature in the market. The rise
has been so rapid that a. very considerable por
tion of the flour purchased at 4 75 and 84 87
for shipment prior to the steamer's arrival, has
been resold, buyers preferring to realize a profit
here than to ship to England."
The news by the Great Britain reached Al
bany before it did New York. Its eflect was
electrical i:pon the flour market, and flour ad
vanced at once. The Albany Atlas says :
"On the receipt of tha Great Britain's pa.
per, some speculators chartered an express
train, m the Eastern Railroad, reached here'
yesterday morning and after communicating
with their correspondents here, it was said, start
ed West to extend their arrangernents.
To counteract this rumored movement, the
Utica and Albany Railroad despatched an ex
tra train at 2 P. M., which was expected to con
nect with the train at Auburn. The express
messenger was also accompanied by the agents
of several of our large dealers, whose purpose
was to notify their correspondcntsTthe millers
and other dealers West, of the intelligence.-!
It is now said that the Boston operators did not
arrive in time to go West in the morningtrain,
and that the afternoon express from this city
carried the first news thither."
OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
The official paper atWashington continues
to give out intimations that a declaration of wai
against Mexico may be made at the coming
session of Congress. The more we reflect
upon the present relations of the twojeountries
says the Union, the better are we -satisfied
with the position we have taken and the advice
we have administered toi Mexico.' This ad
vice is, in substance, that the-Mexicans leave
off their gasconadingopen their eyes to their
true condition, provoke no longer the Great Re
public, pay what they owe us and congratulate
themselves on getting off" so well. They are
reminded that, although the President of the U.
States cannot declare war, the congress of the
Union can and the hint is given rather dis
tinctly that such an event may take place. The
Union quotes with approbation tho following
language from the Boston Times :
' With others, we would-ask, how long islhis
slate of things to be endured by the American
people ? Even if war - be not carried on- by
Mexico to its last resort, who is to guaranty to
us, as a nation, the expenses to which we have
already been subjected by her audacious threats
and declarations 1 It is well known that the
executive cannot declare Avar ; and all it can
do, of itselC is to guard against and repel inva
sion. It has nobly occupied and sustained this
position. But if Mexico keeps up her declara
tion of war, and continues to gasconade about
her armed forces marching to ourj frontier, it
will be the duty of Congress to consider the
question, whether it is not due to our honor, and
the great interests of our commerce and trade,
to declare war against her, and compel her to
pay her debts, to reimburse us for the expense
to which wc have been subjected by her silly
but wicked bravadoes, and to give sufficient
guarantees for her good behavior fo the future.
We repeat, she has played this game of

hence results the necessity -Jthat;th'epeo---

personal interest at stake in all the affairs .
of the Government ; and, would he' See "

every good citizen would only thus "como
up to his duty in this particular,-we should
hear of fewer mobs, riots; andjyrichiogs.
