SUCCEAA OF THE PROJECT. ‘The project of farniehing the Board of Trado with standard time by moans of a telegraphic communication with the Dearborn Obsorvatory weete with great favor, and will be imimodiately oarried into execution. Tho work of placing tho srires and inetrumeots will be concluded and ae- tronomical timo will be commenced at the Chambor of Commerce on the first day of No- yomber. Tho need of having somo reliable titnepiece in the central part of tho olty fe ad- mittod by everybody, and eapecially is it secox- wary to the Board of Trado, where, frequently, largo sums of monoy depend upon the utroke of ibe hour for closing, Hitherto it has boen as- aumod that the loading jewelory in town kept the regular time, but it needs very little inspec- tion to discovor that tho regulators vary _soveral solnutes, thus rendoring it extremely doubtful shethor any of them keep correct tine. The im- portance of securing AN ANSOLUTELY-IEXACT TIMEPIECE for the uso of the Board of ‘I'rado can ba easily illustratod. It a nel sere, Nise tie charge for the utorage of groin is incroasod every ten days. Therefore, if A eells to B 50,000 bushels of wheat to bo delivered at any timo in Octobor, ho vaturally delivers it as Koon 84 ho can, in or- dor to save further exponso for storage. Ha holdg 50,000 bushels of whont, the ntornge of which oxpires on o certain day, after which an additional charge of one-half a cent per bushel will bo mada by tho warchouseman to the person who holds the recoipta. It is therefore A's in- torest to delivor the papers of ownership to 1 hefore 3 o'clock ov that day, 3 o'clock being the hour of viosing; and, on the othor hand, it 18 B's intenst not to have it delivered, ashe can thna save 2250, tho cost of storage. Now, A takes tho papers to the oflico of 13 just na tho hand of the clock points to 3, nnd B rofusea to receive them on the ground that it ia past the hour for closivg businose. By referring to an- other clock, A may tind that he offored (o deliver u few eoconds betore 3, and on thot ground may slaim that Lis liabio for storage, and there inay bo endlens litigation in the mattor. Whereas, if there wore » standard astronomical time, tho courta would undoubtedly basa their decisions upon it. ~4 The above is a simplo cago that may occur any day in ony month, bat it not mfroquently hap- pens that BEVENAL THOUSAND DOLLANS depond upon the stroke of 3on the last dey of tho mouth, One of tho markota may havo been artificially excited. ‘The price on the Inet day of October may have been run up to 25 ceuts a bushe! more than any ono ia willing to yay for it on tho first day of Novembor. In soch 8 case the interest} of aman in dehvering tho grain, on the oue hand, and in refusing it on tho other, is very jrreat, on tho transaction in- volves o gain or loss of 25 conta on overy bushel of grain. Everybody remembers the oxcite- ment that attended the delivery of corn st tho time of the Sturgis coruer a yoar ago, whon the tap of a bell mado a difference of aver $100,000 So the value of the corn owned aud held in the city. It need only ba said further that in Europe and in the Eastern citios of this country there t8 atandard astronomical time. Irom the Ubserva- tory at Cambridgo tho oxact timo is telegraphed daily throughout New England. i ‘SHE METHOD OF TRLEQRAPNING THE TIME hero will be somewhat differout fron that pur- sucd in other cities, Au ordinary tolegraphic in- strument iv the Chamber of Commorco will bo counocted with tho Observatory st the Univers. ty. and tho timo will be continuously indicated, tand day, by tho tickings of the koob on tho instrument, which will correspond exactly with those of the Observatory clock. It is prem- feed that no clock in the neighborhood of tho Board of Trade will bo more than five min- utes out of timo. ‘Thon, in order to obtain the sxact timo, tho tolegraph has been so arracged that at the Hftieth second of each min- ute thero will bo a dasb or break in tho tickiuga, which will Jast until the fifty-sixth second, after which thoro will bo another dah until tho be- cloning of the next minute. In every fifth min- ute tho first dash will uccur at the forticth Bec- ond. By this admirable arrangement. anybody can regulate his watch toa second.

The performanco was the most finished and agrecable of the roason since the firat weak. ‘Mr. Joho McCullough represonts the Roman father to the lifo, showing his lofty soul in all tho alternations of happinesa and despair with delicate percaption of the salient points in the charactor, and fino shading of iis proportions. It was said Inst woek that Mr. McUnllough was not strong im pathelio parts, ‘Tnis judgmont must now be modified so far ss to say that ho oxhibite grief with groat power and ildelity to natnro; it Is in the exprossion of tenderness that he seonis somoishat deficiont, The wonder- fully-affocting lino in the play Inst night, I never saw you took so lke your mother In all my Hfet was spoken aa we hardly supposed it possible Mr, McCullough could speak it; but tho pas- sage which it introduces became, towards the ond, Where tho roferonco was rather to the dead mother than the living child, as affecting as could be wished, Mr, MeCullongh sppoared to rood advantage in tho domestic scenes, and es- pecially at the botrothal of Virginiato Icillius, Thoso wero not, however, his strongest parts. Tho exits of Virginius, it will bo remembered, havo been admirably ar- tauged by the playwright, aud Mr. McCullough, of course, takes full advantage of them. At the eloso of the third act, after an vousually fine burat of feeling, tho actor was callod beforo the curtain by the moat gonuine and hearty applause thot has boen heard in McVicker'sa Theatro this soagon. Tho action of Virginius {n tho forum was odmirable. The oxpression of his counte- nance as bho turned and caught sight of the butchor's knife ; tho strangoly-mingied look of roliof and grief; the heroic and scarcely auccess- ful effort at concealment and calmness; tho ton- der adion; tho bold stroke of death and doliyer- anuco—were all performed with the quick im- pulse of a man whose heart was in his work. Another fing joce =of acting was given towarda tho ond of tho third act, when Virginins, in the camp before the Aqui, recoived the bad tidinga from home concerning his daughter, His interrupting speech, when the name of Virginia was montioued sa boing connected with some worul nars— Stop, my Ducius f Tami cofil in every member of my fra was powerfully given, In ‘ Virginius,” as in “The Gladiator" and “Jack Gado,” Mr. McCul- ough always does bost in deciamation; and if ho bad moro opportunities of thiu kind be would oppear oven better than hedoes. As itia, bie Performance is so thoroughly artistic and enjoy- ablo that tho blemishes in it are no more than spots in the aun,—intoreating subjecta of study, but not caso for acrious disturbance of spirits. Mr. McCullough bad an advantage Jest night which bo bas not enjoyed before at MoVicker's Thostro,—that of a'protty intolligontaud faithful support, Mrs. Murdoch, after some bitter ox- perience in “Tho Sea of Ico” and “The Gladiator," was again at her bost. Her rondor- ing of Virginia was f{sithful and good. Tho art ja wel{ suited ta her abilities, aud ete, not joing ignorant of the fact, bae bestowed upon it more care than usual, with the most gratifying Tosults. Bhe hos reason to bo satisfied with hereelf, for this time at least. Some objection may fairly bo urged to hor pratt: toying with tho picture of Achilles and Brissia, as being # point over- drawn. Hor uttorance once or twice, also, was so rapid that it could be compared to nothing more intelligible than the musica! babble of & brook; but, with these slight drawbacks, the performance was throughout creditable and en- joyable. Mr, Gorsin as Jcillius waa fair to mid- dling, Hie apeech was generally constrained aud studlod,—not, na it should have been, flowing and unaffectod. The other supporting obarac- tera, with the excoption of Appius Claudius, wero tolorably suetained. Mr. Waldron did gross ipjantice to himself and to Appius. He utd not know hia lines, and he mangled the text Btrociously, At times bo fished about for relief, and out of the vasty doops of bis bosom prought forth such words as‘ again,” " meanwhile,” come,” with which to patch the gaps botween hia beginnings and bis ondings. Once or twice he dropped hia cues utterly, substituting sn original parapbrase of Knomles to the confusion of everybody on the stage. Mrs, Browne, who plared Servia, deserves credit for fldolity ; and it is only kindueus to Mr. Alf Johnaon, tha Numi- forius of the occasion to say that he would ap- pa Dotter if he wawed tho alr leas with his nda.‘ Virginius will be repeated to-night.

Ronowal of Lust Year's Saratoga Combination, The New Chicago & Atlantic Road Let In---General Increase of Rates. Passenger Fares Will Go Up on tho 1st of November. The National Railroad Gonvention—A New Pool. ANOTHER GRAND COMBINATION, For years past Mossrs. Scott and Vanderbilt havo cherished the idea that they could unite all tho roads in tho conntry Into one grand oombi- nation, and tht forea the people to pay mich rates for freights and passengers an they chose to impose upon them. Abouta year ago these two magnates succeaded in getting up an agrees ment nt Saratoga which carried out this pet scheme of theirs, but which broko ou tho stub- bornnesa of Mr. Garrott, of tho Dalsimore & Ohio Rattroad, who refused to join, and tho uvited opposition of the press, Since then, however, offorte to rouew that grand combina- tion have boon made, and there is nat the loast doubt but that they now have beon successful. Gf course tho managers wera moro caroful thls time, and kept thoir proceedings aa secrot an possible for fear that the papors of the country would agsin pitch into the achomo and nip itin the bud. The formation of the new At- lantic & Chicago Road via the Daltimore & Ohio came very near breaking up the pew com- bination and getting up anothor fight like that of Isst winter. But from all that can bo loarned, thishas been averted by admitting the new line into fellowship with the other through lines. It was thought botter to give this line Bbare of the business than coutinue to carry freight aud passongorn at the former low ratos. About a fortnight ago s mooting was hold in Now York, at which it was decided to raiso tho ratoa for froights, both oaat and west-bound. Tho Baltimore & Ohto was not ropre- sented, but Mr. Thomas Scott announced that he waa authonzed by his friend Garrett to act in bis behalf. At that meeting ac- tlon waa also taken protibiting fant-froight linos and agente from making any contracts whatever, and accopting any freight except at the regular tariff rates. Bhortly after tho froight rates woot np from 25 sod 30 conta por 100 pounds on fourth class from Chicago to Now York to 40 cents, and the same increaso was made on grain and flour. This is abont ae high as the combi- nation dared to go while navigation is open, but it in already uoderstood that tho ratos aftor the Istof December mil be GO conts por hundred on fourth clase and grain, and 91.20 on flour. That a nen combination has boen formed, and that it is alrondy in working order, is confirmed by tho following telograpbic circular just sent to the managers of tho various fast-freizbt linea by the General Froiche Agonts of the Erle and Now York Central Railroads : We congratulate our connections upon the recent advances in Vast-Lound rates, ant bopo and believo that the ruinous polloy which hae provailed in the past fow months has been abandoned, and that hereafter greater conilonce betweon connections and competi- tora willerist, Wo Dellave the practice of time con- tracta is pernicious, and should be glopped, and con- sider that it ts our duty to iso our nlrongest offorta to stop them; and therefore give notice that we will no hereafter bo parties to timo contracts on Eastern bound trate, Agreements have been made betwoen tho trunk Ines to abandon the practice of making ‘West-bound time contracts, ond as fast aa those now in existenco expire no new ones will ba made or old onea renewed, Wo hope our Western connections will Join us in our efforts, and will Jeave the West-bound Dusincas ontirely {n our anda, Please notify all in- terested. RC, Viras, 3, 0, Rurter, But not only in raising froight-rates has the combination shown its hand, a alao in raising tho passongot-rates. When poaco was declared botwoen Scott and Garrett, jenger-ratos, which had bee uousually low during tho tight. wont up again; but, owing to the objections of tho Michigau Centrai Hailrosd, the rates ro- mained about $2 lower than they had been bo- fore the war. But now, a4 Vandorbilt has virtu- ally control of the Michigan Contral, and the managore of the road havo nothing to say except what Vanderbilt desires thom to, their objec- tiona Lavo been quieted, and the result is another sdvanco in passongor-rates to the East, At a meeting of tho Gonoral Ticket and Yansonger Agonty of tho Chicago roads held st tho office of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, tho annouuce- meut was mado that the combination had do- cided upon the foliowing new rates from Chicago to the East, to go into effect on the lut of No- vember, and which they were requested to ox- tond on their tariffs Chiago to New York ‘To Boston, via Albsny....v.. ‘To Boston, vis New York..... To Puiladetphia..... To Baltimoro anid Wasliingtor To Albany and Tro; To Harrisburg... Of courso, nmall lines have no show whatover in fighting thie combination, and besides, Mosse. Vandorbilt, Scott, and Garrett have lately acquired control of moat of the smaller roads, which will prevent them from kicking against the combinatlan even if they were fo in- clined. The Baltimore & Oblo has virtually consolidated with tho Obio & Mississippi, thua controlling # through line to St, Louia as well aa to Chicago, The Ponnsylyania Railroad is about to consolidate with the Vandalla line, which ives it also control of w throngh line to St. ouis. Mr, Vanderbilt bas virtually obtained control of the Michigau Contral and Cai Southern, and also controls the Michigan 8o1 orn, giving him two through lines to Chicago. The Erie, by ita new coup d'etat, hos olsos through line to Galcago. ‘Thus it can easily ba soen bow the combination ia to work, ‘The New York Central and Eno will bo allowed to take tho largest sharo of the Chicago aud Northwoat- ero business, while tho Ponnsylvanis snd Baltl- more & Obio Railrond will recelvo the bulk of tho 8t. Louis and Southwostern trade. Tho roads leading from Chicago to the West of coarse Lave nothing to do with this combina- tion, and most of them are asctagonistic to it. But eyon if they did favor it thoy could not join it owlng to the restriction placed upon them by the Rallroad taws of tho various Western Btates. This poworful combivation, to which belong all the roads loading from the East to tho Weet except the Grand ‘'runk of Canada, which, how- evor, can do but little Weetorn business during the winter, bas the power avd undoubtedly tho will to extract from the publicas high rates as can possibly be done. Its formation, however, will undoubtedly act ass stimulant on the par- ties who meet to St. Louis on the 23d for the purpose of forming a Nationa! Railroad, and in- duce then: to take some decisive action at once, ST. LOUIS NOTES, x 8r.
