Also, in Russsl v. Trotter, inequity Irom Uuii She appeared last night, the first time on the s:age, in the character of Julielta, supported by Pa rod i as Romeo, in Bellini's opera of Capuletti and Montecelli. Her debut was perfectly successful. She looked the character admirably, which was a great and rare point; and so didParodi in Romeo. A moustache makes a man of her, for she has but few of the soft graces of her sex, physically. Miss Whiting's voice is not very powerul, ,but it is a pure soprano and exceedingly sweet. She is but seventeen, and has a fine figure, tall and graceful, and a pleasant girlish face. A lady of high fashion, living in Fifth avenue, gives a large party this evening, and has had the f good sense and boldness to invite her guests lo come at two o clock in the afternoon. This is not what is called a matinee dansante, but a regular ball, which will not break up until midnight, so that decent people may be able to get home al decent hours.

The leading Can didates were Hiram Griswoxd ( Whig) and Henry B. Payne, (Dem.) The Free-Soil-ers cast their votes for Mr. Giddings. The seventh ballot, wlvch is represented to be a fair exhibition of the strennth of the respec tive parties, stood as follows ; Griswold 43, Payne, 44, Giddings 10 three Whigs and three Democrats having paired off. After the tenth ballot, none of which yaned essen tially from the above, the joint meeting dis solved, and it will require the passage of an other joint resolution before renewing the at tempt to make an election. The Columbus State Journal reiterates its opinion that no Senator; will be elected at the present ses sion. At New York, on 'the 21st ultimo. Alexander Gardiner, Esq., Clerk of ihe United States Cir cuit Court, and United States Commissioner, in the city of New Yvrk, and brother-in-law of Jix President Tyler. The name of this gentleman is familiar to the country for his prompt execution of the fugitive slave law, recently passed by Con gress, fn advance of the public expression of nublic sentiment bv the people of New York, at Castle Garden, and in the midst of an excitable community, he fearless y discharged a high duty, and vindicated the supremacy of the law over the wild ravings of faction. With clear intellect and sound judgment he gave an interpretation to the act of Congress, which has served as a prece dent to guide in all other cases, and has done more than any other, single act to strengthen and con firm the bonds of Union. He has descended to the grave in his 31st year, and every lover of the country and ihe constitution will lament his death. Jat. Int. ' Valuable Land lor Sale.
