These lines are in rapid progress towards completion, and part- ly ia actual operation (realising the most sanguine ex- pectations of the patentoes and the public.) It is ex- pected that in December next they will complete from Halifax, through Lower and Upper Canada, and crossing Niagara will reach New York, and extend to Washington and New Orleaus ; so that the moment a vessel from Europe arrives at either point, the news it conveys can be printed simultaneously throughout that vast continent at the rate of 87 letters per minute, with- out limit of distance.

The remaining characters in the play were well cast, and the favorite iece was, as it has been so often before, received with Famense applause. Ms. Andersdu’s performance was not at all behind his reputation. The bill for the eve- ning concluded with the petit comedy of “Popping the Question,” in which Bass, Sutherland, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Vernon,and Miss Kate Horn appeared. ‘To-night Mr.An- derson appears in the character of Charles, in the come- dy of the “Elder Brother,” on which occasion, it is to be hoped, a 1 audience will greet him, and make the managers glad by their presence. Bowery Tueatar.—Without a single exception, we think we never saw the Bowery Theatre more crowded than it was last evening, on the eccasion of Mr. Murdoch's benefit. Every seat and every standing place, from which a glance at the stage could be obtained, was oc- cupied. During the performances the greatest silence prevailed, and so intent was the audience in admiring Mr. Murdoch’s acting, that the fall of a pin could be distinctly heard in any part of the house. That dis- tinguished actor received a compliment last evening which he may well be proud of. During the week the audiences were very large. and it f¢ a curious fact that they increased nightly until last evening, when another individual could not have obtained admittance. *He will appear this evening as.Young Mirabel in the “Incon- stant.” The entertainments will commence with the comedy “Why don't She Marry?” aud conclude with the favorite drama, “The Flying Dutchman.” Avexanper, THE Macictan.—Mr. Alexander had a very large audience last evening, whom he amused and astonished with his scientifically performed feats. He is becoming a groat favorite, and increases daily in po- pularity, He will not perform this evening; but we are happy a being able to inform the public that his suc- vas has been so great that he is induced to alter his ar- rangemonts, and will remain in this city another week. Musical. Irattaw Orena.—Last evening the company at Pal- mo’s performed part of “I’Lombardi"’ and the 2d act of Rosini’s opera of “Il Barbiere di Siviglia” In the Ist scene of the Ist act of “I Lombardi,” Signor Benoven- tano sang with a sweetness seldom surpassed, and ut the same time with the full magnificence of his powerful voice. There are truly but few such voices ns his; we have but one. The feeling which he evinces in his p formances shows how he studies the subject of the com- poxer; and the effect of his higher passages shows equally well how much nature has done hing Oe king him a vocalist. We rejoice in the prospect of ig permitted to hear him sing ere long in a house where he will have room to sing as he has been wont tado. Ben- edetti, too, ds as ever, masterly performance won the enthusiastic applause of the audience. In the “Barber.” Pico was reecived, as may she always be, with the warmest demonstrations of approbation. Her per- formance, and also that of Sanquirico, was such as to ErAatify those who listened to their music. On Monday evening. the 3d act of “Lucia di Lammermoor,” and the Qd act of “Nina Pazza Per Amore,’ will be performed ; andon Wednesday, Roasint’s grand opera of “Semira- unis’ will be produced for the first time, in which Sig- ro Vultellina will appest ; end on Saturday night, nor Bereventano takes his benefit.

It was upposed by the friends of the mare that her defeat in | the $1000 match on the Ist inst. was caused by her being | over trained, which had produced weaknoss; and they calculated that she would beable to beat him at a future timo.when in better condition. This opinion, however, | proved a fallacy, The friends of Hector were #0 well satisfled with his appearance and acknowledged fine con- dition, that any amount of money was offered on him at | 100 to 40, which high odds dampened the hopes of the | friends of the mare, and few wagers were made. The | attendance at the track was not large, owing to the cloudy and lowering state of the atmosphere during the 000, Hector was ridden by W. Woodruff, and Black Maria | by George Edwards. Black Maria wou the choice of | . The following is a description of the trot: — Finst Heat.—They came to the stand finely, the mare about haifa length in advance, and the judge gave | the word. At the turn, the horse passed her, and reach- ed the quarter pole in 41 seconds, leading the mare full | thirty yards, From there to the half be kept increasing the distance, although the mare appeared to go very steadily. Hector reached the half mile post in 1:2239. sixty yards at least, ahead of the mare. Very little variation took place in thelr positions until after they urned on the stretch, where the horse making a slight break, the mare was hurried, and gained a length or two of her previous lows ; coming steadily up | to the stund she gained still more; but Hector passed | the stand about three lengths ahead of her, in 2:41. Hector was then let out for the heat, and he dashed | away so rapidly, and *o much faster than the mare, that by the time he reached the quarter-pole he was about sixty yards in front of her, Between this place and the half ihe Lorse broke wp. giving the mare another opportunity 1 clope a little, but he was all rightagain in an instant, and taoved off go tluely that she could not overtake him. it was evident that lia gpeed was too much for her, and that her only chance for the heat would be by the horse having a succession of accidents, The mure trotted very finely, but had not the foot, 'as was evident from | the altempts to force her up the stretch ou the last quar- ter. ticetor made this mile in 2:38; the heat being per- | formed ba ple. | Secoxo [eav.—Tho horses started for this heat side and side, but at the turn Hector began to draw out in front of the mare, and continued widening the opening | until he reached tho quarter pole, which he did iu | 42 seconds, three or four lengths in advauce of the mare He kept inereasing the space between them to the haif, | making Unat point in 1:22, and with this advantage be | passed the three quarter pole end came up the stretch to the #tand, stepping as tinely and steadily as possible. | under w hard pull. ‘Tbis mile'was trotted in 2413 As | the imave approached the siund be broke up. giving | Hevtor more advantage thau before, and beyoud ail | doubt a sure chavee to win the race.

Important Meeting ror tHe Benesit of German Esucrants.—The newly formed society, called the ‘“Volksverein,” (Union of the People,) held a ver large meeting last night, at the SI ire Hotel. seems that a previous meeting had been disturbed, at St John’s Hall, by a crowd of hun, wolves, who hi hitherto fattened upon the inexperience of the new!; rived German ¢! its, as “xunners’’ for some of the transportation lines and tavern-keepers, having received from the former one dollar, and from the latter half a dollar per head, One line has paid, during the last year, $43,000 to these “runners.”’ Last night the meeting was Attended by the most influential and respectable Ger- mans, who are determined that all impositions shall cease; and the “runners” at this meeting were entirely overawed. This society have two nerpaners in Germa- ny interested in their object, and, whilst carefully sub- serving evory interest in Now York, Philadelphia, Buffu- lo and Pittsburg, they lust night established a branch so- ciety at Albany, to report every fraud, and give every as- sistance and protection. We wish this society success. Fines.—A fire occurred yesterday morning in the basement of house No. 454 street—damae tri- fling. Another occurred yesterday morning ut No. 73 Elisabeth street. Jt was ulso soon extinguished. Matron or tHe Crty Paisox.—We were much pleased, yesterday, to learn that the newly elected ad- ministration intend to retain in office Mrs. Foster, the present efficient and valuable matron of the female d partment, in the city prison. This pe eperag dicious and praiseworthy, on the part of the city fathers, fora more worthy or butter adapted person than Mrs. Foster, a8 matron, could not be found, and we doubt much If they could obtain her equal.

Tameditely after the rash act, Assistant Captain Yar- wood, of the 4th ward, was called in, whosent for Dr. McDonnell, wno dressed the wound.

Tho reoeipte, he regretted to say. dfd not meet the amount of the expenditures, In the course of his address, he ve an account of the operations of the society for the lust year, and was followed by— The Rev. Tuostas E. Venniiiys, D. D.. of N.Y, city. In his opening re he offered a resolution which ex horted the friends of missions to aid them in thelr labors. He pronounced a high eulogy on the character of tho late Dr. Armstrong, who was wrecked in the Atlantic.— He trusted that a spirit might animate them on the pre- sent occasion, to carry out the objects of the soviety. A field—a sphere for operation was open for them,which would enable them to exercise thele efforts in the cause of true religion. A time would come when all darkness would be removed from this earth. and man would be in on the pestilential darkness. The work wan arduous, and it was not a slight thing to take from the ‘asp its venom, but the time would oome when such would be accomplished. The Lord had promised this, and he would say “ if God be for us, who oan be against us?” A spirit had been now infused into the church, which fifty years ago would not be credited. The facil- ity of intercourse between countries and natiens gave an increased stimulus to their exertions; conversions were shaking the very centre of the should rejoice at the extension of their progre day had already come—its light would penetrate the doepest valleys, and every event, as predicted, was taking place. Daniel had spoken. and John had spoken, and future: viu.s at prociaime i the truth of their pre- dictions. Jobn had told them of the book which none should open but the lamb—this meant the Church of Christ It was strange that a Nebuchadnezar—a Cyrus —an Alexander—a Napoleon.sh6uld have been made in- struments in the hand of God to carry out tho teachings of the gospel. Then will the groves, the valleys, the streams, the pearly rivulet, the feathered songsters ‘all join in one universal song of praiso—hallelujah to the Lord. ‘They may not be present—their missionaries may die— but they would all look down from heaven upon the re- sult of their labors. Even now the Lord was looking down upon them. If a heathen could say it was glorious to die for one’s country, how much more would it not be to die for one’s God? e Rev. J. D. Conpit, of Newark, next addressed tho meeting, and offered a resolution calling upon them to aid the cause of missions. The relation of the mis- sionary enterprize to Christ was established when Christ sanctioned it. It was the same God that brought it into being. The great seal of the enactment was stamped by the Saviour, Their missionary boards went in the name of the Church of Christ. It was not like the schemes of commerce—of diplomacy—it was sanctioned by God. “God so loved the world that he gave to it his oaly Pegouan, ron’ Hence was the inherent virtue of their plan. The quiet of the church sanctioned this hagas ‘What was the voice that reached them from the Sandwich Islands—from Ceylon and every quarter of the globe?—it was the voice of the Lord through the mis- sionary labors of their society. He would ask what hand was it t at the last year had made the feeble man powerful ?~it was the power of the Lord) When all their labors had been accomplished, it would be grati- fying to look back upon the result. He might show the harmony of the enterprise with the saying of God, when he gave the heathen to his beloved Son to redeem. In | every stone of the edifice they had raised was the like- | ness of the Saviour. They nover would come up to the | spirit of the enterprise until they worked for the glory of God. The man who consecrates his money, his pro- perty, in the missionary cause, would have his reward, and would secure his crown. Demosthenes won his crown from Athens, but it was a crown of gold, and they who joined in the missionary cause would weara bright- er crown. The ane hymn was sung:— r iny heart forget Her welfare or her wo, Let every joy this h And every grief For her my tears shai fall, For her my prayers ascend; ‘ToLher my ears and tolls be given, ‘Till toils and cares shall end. ‘ond my highest joy, prize her heavenly ways; Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. The Rev. F. D. W. Warp, missionary from Madras, India, next addressed the meeting. He said that more than ten years ago he had been sent out to India by tho Missionary Society. He would offer a resolution in favor of the missionary cause in India. In part of ladia there was a kd shaft sunk in the earth. and a popular delusion pro- vailaa prophecy that when the top would reach the level of tl arth, their religion would be put an end to, and would be succeeded by another. This religion they bo lieved to be the Christian religion. The Hindoos seo that the missionary oan go and establish himself eve- + where—in every village and hamlet—and the religion of Christ they believe would eventually prevail. There wero no less than one thousand Brahmins in India, and they met and resolved that whenever the missionaries should go in India, they would not allow them to go to Magera—their sacred city—but they did go, Tho Rey, Mr. Poor was the first missionary thay called meeting of the natives.there, and he did not first open on the subject of religion—he merely told that the eclipse was not the result. according to their creed, of | two large serpents, trying to eat each other; nor that the earthquake was caused by o huge serpent, who | shook his head so as to cause the earthquake to occur. ted with stones—but new, how changed! Wholg vil- lages had been converted, and now beliaved in the great truths of the gorpel. The Hindoos may be divided into four classes; first, those who will embrace any sort of re- ligion, that would give to them food “or good clothing. The second were the Brahmins, who were selfish, and would not be converted, because they wish to cling to the religion of their fathers. ‘There was a third | Class, who were the females of the country, and who wers really like the females of every country, religious—nnd selves, but would not join. He would give an in- | stance. A Hindoo had come to one of their mis- | sionaries, with hisown son, and said, ‘there is my | son—take this sum—(handing him at the same time | 10,000 rupees, or $5,000.) educate him—bring him | stances as this to be found among the Hindoos. He had his brethre: ‘when | die where will my soul go?” ‘The reply was, “it will go into some animal.” “And whore next, heasked. ‘The reply was, “Into another animal ; | and into another, andanother and another.” | asked, “Audwhere then?” Alas! and where then? he | (the Rev. Mr. W.) would say, Iu conclusion, ke exhort- ed them to aid the cause of missions in India, which w: their duty. ‘The following hymn was hereupon sun; | Roll on, thou mighty ocean ! ‘And as thy billows flow, Bear messenger of mercy To every vale of wo ! | Arise. ye gales, and waft them | Safe to their destined xhore ; That men may sit in darkness And death’s black shade no more, The Rev. Hexay W. Beecuen, of Indianopolis, Indi- | ana. next addressed them. He offered a resolution to the | effect that there never was «cessation ofchristianityfrom | the beginning: and never had ite progress been slow. It | was now eighteen hundred years since Christianity was | first preached by the disciples. There was a greut bidtus in its history. When the disciplos preached, the people fell down before them, like grass before the mow- er, Then why was it that the progross of Christianity tince then had been ro slow? The question was difii- cult, to be sure, to answer. When Christ converted the | world. it had existed for four thousand years. with all its selfishness and all its evils, God exercised a super- human agency in converting the world, but was conver- sion the work of time or the work ofa day? ‘That was | the question. Let them go down to the lowest neighbor. hood in the city,aud take a boy who had been bronght up | iminiquity, let him be warhed and taken into a( bristian | family—let him be instructed in the trath—washed cleaned, and scoured He would ask would that boy be converted na day—in a twelve month? No; conver- sion was the work of time—it could not operate ro quickly as to take place in a day. Hoe remembered when at college, a fellow collegian bad been reading a History of Christian Progress.and he remarked:“if this be religion, | freed from sin—when the bro ze of purity would break | He was actually, when he first preached thus to them, | | | then there were others, who were religious them- | upin your own religion.””” There were many such in- | | also known when a sick Hindoo when dying, asked one of | He then | Gold Pens—J.
