It oceupies two columns and a half of the | New York Heratd, in solid nonpareil type, and was transmitted to this city in an extremely short time, through the admirable arrangements that were made for the purpose, We are informed that the reading of it was | commenced at precisely sixteen minutes before twelve o’clock, and the whole of it was transmit- | ted to this city by the New York, Albany, and | Buffalo Telegraph, by three o’clock. This is an extraordinary performance, when it is considered that it contains 25,000 letters, making an average | of 88 per minute. The press and the public are under great obli- gations to Mr. Crawford Livingston, of the firm of Livingsten & Wells, who made the arrangements; to Messrs. Carter, Bue’, and Johnson, the telegra- phic writers at Albany; and to the Messrs. Wood, | the readers of the telegraphic manuscript in this city. ‘These gentlemen have all proved their per- fect competency to fill the situations they respec- When we consider that part of the message ‘was sent over only one wire, and that the two | wires were used only a portion of the time, we | have conclusive proof of the ability of the mag- netic telegraph to fulfilthe most sanguine expec- | tations, and to be capable of transmitting the longest documents to the’most distant parts of the Ifthe two wires on this line had been worked, it is supposed that the message would have been sent to this city inthe incredibly short time of one hour and three quarters. The message itself possesses one great merit— brevity.

Its circulation in America is prodigious, and it 18 ex- tensively read in California and New Mexico as well asin New York. Indeed, a gentleman informe ed us, a day or two since, that he read a copy of it | on top of the Rocky Mountains. All this is owing | to our efforts to give the latest intelligence from al] parts of the world, fairly, clearly, and without any petty, party, bias. Our mail clerk, from curiosity, kept a record of the sea ports to which we mailed papers for | actus! eubseribers in the several countries in which they are situated, during the last few weeks, and find that we sent to the following places :— ‘ Havre, Madeira, pandas, 1 Cadiz, iverpool, Canton, Rio Janeiro, Marseilles, Havana, Neuvita Antwerp, Curacoa, St. Thomas, Barbadoes, Montego, Demarare, ‘St. Johns, Vera Cruz, Port au Prince, Glasgow, Matanzas, ‘St. Martha, St. Dominge, Buenos Ayres, Santiago, Montevideo, St. Croix, St. Martins, It will be recollected that ve supplied subscri- bers in those places with their papers within the last few months only, but we have subscribers in the Sandwich Islands, Atrica, Russia, Ire'and, and other places, whom we serve whenever op- portunity offers. a Such is the New York: Herald, in spite of all op- position. It has not yet reached the zenith of its glory, for those who liye ten years more will see it five times greater in its value, as a newspaper, as a telegraph of public actions and opinions, and in its circulation, than it is at present. Theatricals, Panx Tuxatae.—The succe‘s which the Viennoise dancers have met since the first night of their appear- ance to the present time, is, we belie unparalleled. While dramas and tragedies, got up at great expense, have held possession of the stage for a comparatively short time, these little creatures, with natural beauty and grace alone to recommend them, and whose previous | career wasalmost entirely unknown in the United States, | have sppeared nightly for nearly five consecutive weeks, | and the rage to witness their performances is nearly as | great now as it was et first. They appeared sgain fast night in their admired dances, and were loud- ly applauded. The performance was likewise well attended, ani if it would not be too much atask on their physical strength, we think it would be advisable to have performances in tho day as well as in the evening, during the short time they will remain with us. The farce of the “ Eton Boy ” was performed lest evening, Mrs. Hunt taking the parts of Fanny and Master Tom. This is one of Mra. Hunt’s best parts, and her personation of it wes much admired. The dancers will appear again this evening Bowery Tueatae.—The “Wizard of the Wave,” that favorite mystical drama, was again produced here last evening. This popular piece, so replete with incident, was ably and imposingly represented by the talented company, who have so long maintained the high charac- | tor of the Bowery. For scenic effect, the piece stands without parallel, and this in itself would fully compen- | sate the visiter. ‘Mr. Clark as Don Jose, end Governor | of St Jago,acquitted himselt with his usual powers. | fie,ns captain of the “Wizard af the W well susti | his part, while Vache’s Caleb Cutbody, and Hadew: | Timothy Treacle, were performed with much talent. ladies of the company equell: il acquitted themselves Jordan’s Donna were all admira- eer, Mr. Jackson, tly manner in which favorite piece has been got up on the present oc- casion.

This has bee caused by the announcement that the board of director had determined to pay interest en this stock, as soon ¢ the road was complete! to Binghamton. According t the existing appearance of the work on the road, it wil be finished to that poiat in about two years. The direc tors do not say whether the payment of interest at the, time will depend upon the income of the road, or whethe it will be paid out of the new capital ef the company, bu we are informed that the intention is to pay the intere: at}any rate, whether there are any surplus receipt or not. When this road is completed to Bing hamton, the three millions of dollars subscribed um der the new charter, wi!l be expended in interest sz4 3 constructing the ; the interest on which, at. \ rate of six per cent per annum, will have te \ paid, making an expenditure under this hea: one hundred and cighty thousond doWars por | num. ‘The par value of the old stock in the marke’ seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the ainc of bonds outstanding, about five hundred thous: more, making an aggregate of twelve hundred and f thousand dollars, the interest on which at aix per c would be seventy-five thousand dollars per annum, maby ng, with the interest on the $3,000,000, an aggregate, 44 terest alone of $255,000 perannum. Itis a very 7 portant question with the holders of the new stock, wht ther the two hundred and fifty miles of road, terminat! at Binghampton, an inland town of no very great exte/® will produce a net income sufficient to enable the c.\ pany to do this, and if not, where this 1}: jum is; come from. ‘The payment of interest on the new sto/<l and upon the bonds,will weigh heavily enough upon company before the road will earn sufficient to remov'? from.the capital stock account, without edding the b den of forty-five thousand dollars more per anuum, TH interest on the new capital paid in from time to ti” will, by the time it is all expended, reduce it at le $400,000, that is the company will only have about $7} 600,000, out of the $3,000,000, to expead in the construy tion of the road. This makes quite a hole in the coffe of the company, and must restrict their operations vei much. Notwithstanding this, the board of directors he determined to increaso the burdens of the company, adding forty-five thousand dollars per annum to the #x, penditures of the company. The whole movement is nothing but a stock jobbiing stock speculating affair from one end to the other, an the directors of the company, as individuals, are \fh parties engaged in it. For sometime past the old B:ri Railroad stock has ruled very low, and those individue- have been buying it up as fast as they could get hold ¢ it. They obtained at the low prices a large portion | this stock, before the vote was taken upon the questi’ of paying interest, and the result was iu favor of resus | ingpayment upon the completion of the rotd to Bing) himton.. This is only one of the many movements of | similar nature which have come to our knowledge, an: it would be well for the holders of the new stock to pro tect themselves by making such changes in the board 0, directors at the approaching election as the circumstan| ces require. The determinatien to pay interest on the ol stock is particularly calculated to injure the value o| the new stock, as it reduces the resources of the compa} ny at least to the extent required to meet that payment! ‘The new stockholders havo it in their power to remedy} this abuse of power in the present board of directors, an¢ their real interests require its use.

The committee express th opinion, that the debt of Reid, Irving & Co. may be en tirely paid off within the present fiscal yeur, and recom mend that the balance of the foreign debt, amounting te only £15,000, having thirty years to run, be paid off as speedily as practicable ky the purchase of the bonds. | This will reduco the entire debt of the State to $1,465,250, and moke it entirely of a domestic character Tho liabilities of the Central Bank according to th report, amount to $623,955 49, and its assets to onl: $479,471 73, leaving @ balances f $202,383 76 to provide for.
