From some of these Cincinoatl bankers I get the {all text of what the leading Presidents of New York have drawh up, to Le submitted to Secre- tary, Sherman on Monday., Among these are George A, Coe, Presldent of the American Ex- change, capital £5,000,000; Vall, of the Bank of Commerce; Vermilye, Tappen, Bherman, Thomp- son, and otbers. The memorial, therefore, rep- resonts atl the banks of first conseauence doing pasincss at tho Clearing-House, Their recom- mendation has been given at the request of the Becretary himself, nnd ita unusual clearness of watement will obtaln a wide reading for 1t.

At the openlug season of the Crosby Opera-Houss the cast was fully as strong, including Zucelil as Amelia; Ortolanl as the Lage; Morensi s the Aatrologer ; Mazzolenl as Jelchard; Bellini as Jteinhart ; and Dabreul and Muller ns the Con- apirators. 1t it Is ever cast as strong agaln, may e be thore to see, 1t 1s nlmost uunccestary to apeak of * Un Ballo? as » muslcal work, though there must bave been wnony _presgnt who heard it for.the first tine.” Notwithatanding the ahsurid anachronfsms of ita llbretto, made neces- #arv by thio Italian censorsdip, the linpossibility that {ts actiun can ever have soy interest tu Americaus, though the scene fs laid in Buston, beeause ft Is entirely forolyn to Puritan senti- ment ot that date (what would the Puritans have sald ot iast evening’s ballet{), aud its gen- cfnl level of inusical com_lupuulpue, it will always have adiiteras They ‘will go Lo “hear the cauzonet mud tho fow brilllant concertea unumbers, jast aa they go to hear ** Martha * for 4 “The Last Rose of Bummer," or * Trovatore " for the ** Anvil Chorus ' and * Prison Scenc.'

Baveral of the railroad ofliclals who attended the Managers’ weeting at Now York last Friday and Saturday returoed yesterdar, From them it has been learnod that the mecting was s per- fect fallure, and that there {s hut little prospect that the dificultles tn the way of an East-bound vool can evor bo overcomo. Tho roads leading East from Chlcago submitted fleures showing what percentages they wero willing to accent, which, when sdded together, amountedto about 200 per cent. After sn all day's talk and con- siderable revising of the percenteges first sub- mittcd, §t was discovered that the percentages demauded by tho varlous lines leading East from this city amounted to 123 per cent, 8s follows: Michizan Central, 80 per centj Penpsylvaula Company's two lines 6 per cent; Lake 8hore & Michigan Bouthern 80 per cent; and Daltimore & Oblo 20 per cent. Nooe of the rouds would make further covcessions, and, os but 100 per cent could bo divided, the whole scheme fell through, 1t was cvident that some of tho roads did not waut a poul, and only sub- mitted tigures in order to avold the charge of betng Inimical to a pooling arrangeinent. l'hc(y did not scem to ba ready yet to show a fuil hand, and il thoy wanted was to gain thn ‘Chere can be but littls doubt about the forma- tion of a new line to Culvago by the Erie, At- lantic & (ircat Wostern and Baltlinore & Ohto Ratlroads, but as the leaso of tho Atlantic & (reat Western has not yet been fully carrled out, it 18 not yot sdvisable to make public the fact that such ap arrangement has been made, An effort wasinadeat the meeting to stop gly- fugz return passes to stock abippery, and this mate teralso full through.
