A communication was recelyed from the Comptroller submitting n statement of his catl- mates of moueys required to defray the ex- penses of tho City Government during the cur- rent fscal year; also o statement showing tho aggrogateincomeol the preceding fiscal year from allsources, the amount of Habilities outstanding upon whict interest fs to be pald, and the debts payable during the year. Hehad found it vee- essary to make materfal roductions from the detailed cstimates a8 received from some of the departments, ‘This course scemed demanded by the best Interests of thecity #s n whole, as well as for reasons meantloned below, and was fn accordance with the prevalling sentlment of economy and re- trenchment required to bo pursued in these cmbarrassing thnes by all classes of citizens, The tact inust be borne cunstantly in mind, sald he, that there was alimit jn the amount that could be realized from taxation, tho valuations upon which the tax levies were based being fixed and cqualized by the State Board of Equaliza- tion, and the uggrecate valuatlons for 1877 havlug been 819,633,030 less than for 1870, If the statute fixlag the maximum rateof tax- ation at thirty mills on tho dollar -was comstitutional, it bohooved tho Council to be extremely careful In the aggregate ot the appropriatiuns, especlally ns they were made aeseral montbs {n advance of the equal- lzutiun of the valuations by tho State Board, 1t nn equal reduction to that inade on_the val- ma tor 1977 should be made in 1878, o tax- ouf U milla would produce less than &1, WL, Coneequently, the only safo cottrse wus uot to cxceeld that limit, Another very fportant conslderation was the fact that a larze proportion of the amount appropriated wus required to be expended before recelving any beneilt irota the jucone from taxes levied therefor, thus comselling u resort to tempo- rary loans in antlelpation of thelr collection. There belng a Hnit to the ity’s abllity to bor- row, it Was opporent that yreat cautfon must be used in keeplug the expenditures down to the Jowest possible polnt consistent with good government. Owiuge to the milure of Cook County to repay the clty for the buard of county prisoners during the past year, he was obliged to send In an estimate for wmaintaining tho House of Correction for this year, The county ‘was now indebted to the city on thelr contract to the amount of $52,351.20, In thu matter of light(ng the atrcets, o largo reduction had been mude In the price paid for gas, but with the constant addition to the number of latps, the amount required would contiuually increaso unless more cconumical means were dovised. “The apprupriation ot $200,000 last year vroved to be insufiiclent to mect tho’ defleiencies of previous appropristions together with the g Lills p!'o.-'? 1877, e hod, therefore, estimated for au appropriation for this year of $325,000, on the presumption thut the present time-table would be continued, and the prescnt terms for furnishing gas, cie., be extended Leyond May 1. e recommended, huwever, a change In’ the mude of contracting for the supply of gas, namely: to pay the par- tles furnishlng it a certaln ‘sum per lamp per year, the contractor to light in accordance with the time-table, furnish gus, and to lignt, clean, extioguish, repalr, and thaw the lamps. He bad ueluded an {tem toward wakinr cood the defielency in the Canal Redemption Fund, to bo used {0 the construction of tho new bullding for a City-ifall, in accordance with the resolu- tiou of the Council passed Sept, 3, But & smail proportion of the amount catimated waos for new Improvements, as ho had endeavored to keep within the liinita above referred to.

THE D, & O, DRFOT. Ald. Daly called up the mnjority report of the Committee on Judiclary, laid over and pub- Ushed Dec, 8, 1877, recommendivg the adontion of a resolution dlrecting the Uepartment of Public Works to take immediate steps for the re- moval of the Buitimore & Ohlo's depot from the Exposition Bullding. The Aldcrman Invelghed aguinst the Rallroud Company’s policy, as be bject, burdened aa it was with other busi- understood it, of remaluing in the bullding and | vorsisteutly refusing to wive theclty s decent depot. He also had somethine to say nbout the Cuapany’s alleged inclination to anssist the Rebel, fnatead of the Unlon, Government durivg the War, and clafned that it should recelve mo favors ot tho liands of the Council. If tho Company were allowed to remaly, Lie contended, it should pay 1ts rout over to the vity and not to the Exposi- tion mauavera, Ald. Gilbert took the ground that the Baltl- moro & Ohlv peovle had taken the building ouly for temporary purposes, sud that they would urobnblf‘ et out as soon as they and the other comnanles could secure u portlon of the Laky Frout for depot purposes. Ald, Daly, dropping the majority report as eavorfug too tauch of wercy, read the minarity report which, he eald, fully expressed his opln- fone _on the subject, and which ordered the Expositiun peuple to vawato the Ex- position Dullding within sixty days, In soawer to Ald.Gllbert, he “stated that the rallroad Company proposed to stay in the bullding threo yeurs, anel that they wers paying o large rental to tho Exposition managers, who paid no taxes to tho nn{.

Daly, Ald, Throop sald 8 good word for the rullway veople, thelr enterprise, aud * the bully fight they had been earrylng on agalnst monopolies.”? In tho midst of “the dlscussion, Ald, Ballard Jumped up and moved to adjourn, ‘The wotion ‘was carried. ‘The Councll then adjourned. AMUSEMENTS, TIIE OPERA. The Btrakosch Italian opern troupe Inaugu- rated (ts seacon with the performance of 411 Trovatore " at flooley’s Theatre Jast cvening, o very large sudience ** nusisting,” every scat in tho theatye being flled. The cast included Miss Kelloge as Leonora, Miss Cary as Azucend, Mr, Grafl us Manrico, Mr, Verdi as the Count, and Mr, Conly ns Ferrando,—u vast which, with- out belug ureat dn all [ts parts, was neverthe. less very effective aud sufliciently strong to aive the well-worn work without auy serlous hitclies. Although there still are people who buve to fole low “Trovatore® with a lbretto, and muny young people who can exclty the envy of bluso opera-goers by getting enthusiwstic over its catehiug melodies, it would hardly become us to say aenything about the overa. The performnance alune - concerns the e jority of our readers, and that may be brietly treated, Mias Xellogy 18 no novice in the roluotl Leonora, She has sung it here many tiues in Eogllsh and Ttallay, sithough 1t Is nut a part that is we)l adupted to her fn o dramatie sense, however wuch it - may serve to show off her cousummate vocalism, Her reception was very cordlol, and in hicr two arfas of the fint act, o8 wellas in tho trio closing ft, shy uwuk- cned sutticlent enthusiusm to develon {nto a call befors the curtaln, Wo have cxpressed our oplulon of her Leonwors many thncs, and sco no reason from laat evening's performnunce to change it. As an illustration of purs sod skill- tul vocallstn it was admirable, and from the musleud point of view no ons would question it or that ehs brings to it a volco of unusual wurity, cleurness, und brightuess, and a vocalisin of excellent schoolug, If this wers all that the role required, the perforwance would be au exquisite uue, but the real strength of the role Live fu {ts passion, Ite lnzuu-llr. uud fts dramatic force, and iu these respects her personstion 1s wanlivg, Bhe slngs the music besutiully, but she 1a u passive, pulscless Jeunora fu action; notwithstanding utl which it {sa great pleasure to laten to such Hnfsbed v Nothing could petiner Inth cet than her perforinance of the grand arlu fn the last act, which aroused the warniest entbusiasin and cuded in a recall Miss Cary bins sunyg Aruccna here before, but not often. "It s a part which has been maluly unfurtunate in its representatives. With the exception of Adelaide Phillipps and Zeldu Seguln, it bus abnost always becu taken by artists wha could act but not slug, or siug but not act, but Miss Cary candoboth, Tothe beauty of ber rich, heavy alto aud ulways cor- rect and expressive singlug, she ndds fine dra- matle perception and dellucation, Lol io tructe and comic roles. All these qualitics wero clearly brought out on Ler pht. ure of e hazgard, vengeful Gyosy. ther futense singing of the descriptive music of the secoud act aud in the mmccdmfl‘ duo with Muurico aroused tho tirst real cuthusiusm of the evenfug, sud secured ber u recall Lefore the curtalu feil, while in the third act sil the unitics were violated by the sudleuce, sud the bouse fairly sose und recalied ber twice while the we way in progress, the recalls awounting to wu ovation which was richly descrvod 8s a recugul- tion not vnly of ber suging, but also of ber ucting. - Inthe last uct the sme euthusiasw followed Lier bumbers, aud the Leartiness of the applause told that her popularity has uot yet comacueed to wane. The rewatuder ot the cast, while it was uot strong, wes guod. Mr, Grail is teudid tenor.

As an actor, he s weak and Q,urpmelcu, and the same inay be sald of Mr. ‘erd], ‘I he Jatter has been heard here once be- fore {n concert. Although hisvoice apneared to tire before the close of the urcm, aud he was sometimes out of tune, his slnging as s whole was extremely creditable, and was metllllfi marked by taste and expression in the * balen,” “Mr, Conly's _deep, sonorous bass told with grand ~effect In what little he lnd to do In the unimpor- tant role of Ferrando. The orchestra Is re- markably gooa. The chorus fs up to the aver- age of Italian opera choruses in singing, old age, and personal beauty. When shall wo cver axain have such choruses as we used to have ln our primitive days of operal Taking the per- formance ns & whole, it was recelved with cn- thusiaam, and it epeaks well for the future of the season. This evening, *‘Favorita? will be given,—a performance which will be of unusual [ntcrest, first, hecause the opera fa not often given here, and, second, beesuse it will be the nctasion of the debut of Mile, Marle Roze, an event which will be eagerly awaited al peoplo who are sequalnted with this terling merits. ——— Y BABY " AT M'VICKER'S, ‘The revival of * Baby " at thia theatre, where it was ono of tha opening attractions of tho theatrical season, brought together last evening an audience evidently full of good feeling to- ward the four comedians whoso names stand at the head of the cast. The play has been made sufliciently familar to theatrc-goers in its former represcntations to render any comnient upon its characterlstics a superfluity. Frivolities like this aro oceastonally nceeptable, and they may be made always so with the ald of a brilllant cast, as lang os people are In the mood to ba amused, The principal change to be noted In the cast of characters hero was the assignment of Mr. John Dillon to the part of Willie St. Saul (the Baby), a role which was not at nll adapted to his wayward genius, and which evldenug made him icel il at ense, Mr. Dillon plaged the part well enough, but he played it like one who found himsclf in an un- congenirl atmosphere, aud unnble to satlsty the” expectations ot his audience, He ap- peared to be «lultc “at sea,” fu fact, and not a little chagrincd at discov. ering how small an opportunity Wwas oiforded him of exhibitiug any ability bevond thut of a good walking gentieman, ~ Mr, Me- Vicker ns Coach, the tutor, made the most des elded hit of the evening, playing the parg with more than lis usual unctuousness. Harry Fearson and Roland Reed wero each oxcellent representatives of their respective parts, and Mr. Leo acted the part of Charles Atking with considerable splrit nod case. The ladlea of the cast were as o whole unexceptionable, 1n the farce of * Barnoy the Baron,! Dillon mounted Ins Pegasus and soared futo his native regions, keeping the house in an uproar of laugliter, which made ample amends for his somewhat timorous and uncertain acting In the first piece. Tho same bill will be repeated dur- fog the week. TIIE ADELTHI. “The Danitcs " is another revival, and to Judge from the prodigious audience at the Adel- phi last night, a most ugreeable one to the pub- lfe. Every part of the large auditorium was well filled, the applause was frequent, aud the principal actors In tho plece had numerous calls before tho curtaln.: The play was handsomely mounted, and the performance on the whole was better than on ite first rendering bere. This was of course to be expected, since but few changes have been made (n the cast, Both Mr. Rankin aod Mr., Aldrich have ftnproved considerably thefr portraiturcs of the char- octers they represent, while Mtss Kitty Blauchard,” as 2ty Piper, stands forth, it possible, more conspicuously than ever inthe group. It is creditablo to her to make the most of o good thing, aud her acting (s cer- tainly as full of emotion na the character she portrays could auuuy, At tho same time it should be_ sald that the sorrows of Lilly Hiper arenot the moft futerceting cplsodes fn the drams, and just a little moro ot them would create n reasopable desire in the hearts of the sobbiug spectators tu see them put an end to u little soomer thau they are. Parsloe’'s Chinaman 18 o highly amusing sketch, und so 18 the Willlam Whe of Vining Bowers, Harold Forsberg made a hit us Lisnber Tim, and shuwed himself to be a valuable acqulsition to the cast. Miss Dora Uoldthwalte acted * the widder " in a quiet, wotnanly fashjon, which galned her the syme pathy of the sudicuce. The play s evidently destined to bave s second good run at the Adelphl.
