She 18 now in excellent trim, and will Jeave for Panama on the léth instant, positively. She will be commanded by Lieut. David D. Porter, -of the navy, a son of the late Commodore Porter. Her route will be through the Straits, stopping at Rio, Valparaiso, Callao, and Panama. She takes a limited number of passengers, and will form, on the Pacific coast, the third of the line of the Pa- cific Mail Steamship Company. She will doubt- less reach Panama by the Ist of May. The Pana- sma was built by Mr. W. H. Webb, and her engines by Mr. Allaire,"at the Allaire Works. The eplendid ship John G. Costar, Capt. Durfey, will sail tor San Francisco about the same time. She is nearly a new ship, and was built for the East India trade. Her commander has made some ot the quickest trips on record between here -and New Orleans. Instructions have been sent to the different cus- ‘tom houses, from the Secretary of the Treasury, to the effect, that as all vessels clearing for California will probably stop at some ‘foreign port on their way, they must clear for a foreign port and a mar- ‘ket. By this means the value of the goods sent -out will be got at, as in foreign manifests the value is stated, which 18 not the case in coastwise mani- tests.

A SOTA of emigrants for Califorma, who contemplate leaving Fort Smith, in Arkansas, in April next, have obtained, through Senator Bor- land, a military escort to Santa Fe. The company will proceed by the valley ot the Canadian river to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. and thence by El Passo to San Francieco. With a view to afford protection to the emigrants, and atthe same time to CG the country traversed by this route, the War Department has directed General Ar- buckle, of Fort Smith, to furmsh a suitable m:litary escort, to be accompanied by an officer of the topographical engineers, whose duty it will be to make reconnoissance and _re- port tothe department. A circular from the leaders of the emigrating party recommends the route ag the most favorable for emigration, passing as it does through a healthy couatry, inhabited to a considerable extent, and abounding witn supplies. The road 18 suitable tor wagons, and 1t is believed that the journey frem Fort Smith can be easi! accomplished in one hundred days. Persons wit! or without families, who wish to emigrate to Cali- fornia, are invited to rendezvous at Fort Smith, where wagons, horses, oxen, and all the supplies necessary fer an outfit, can be readily obtained at reascnable prices. Freight and Papengere can reach Fort Smith by steamboat. All who desire to join the party should be at Fort Smith by the first of April.— Baltimore American, Feb. 9. Letter About Modern Opera in New York. New Yorx Horgt, Saturday morning. My Dear Sim:—When I informed you that I intended te make my début at the new mo- dern Opera House, you asked me to give you my honest opinion of the present concern. I told you I would do so, and, upon my honor, I really intended to have complied with your request; but I must be excused 1m part. The fact is, when I got inside of the building, (which 1s miserably ar- ranged, and in excessive bad taste,) and looked about upon the people there, the associations con- nected with many old faces made me neglect the opera, and think upon the “ups and downs” of life, and the strange changes that take place in a commercial city in a few years. Let me see. It’s now about fifteen years since we had such a time in starting the Italian Opera in New York, and put up the old Opera House, at the eorner of Leonard and Church street. And did we not have fun in those days? Most of us suffered some—the 6,000. Private boxes,eh! But, if we did spend money freely in those days, we had money to spend; and, what is more, we got the worth of ourmoney. There was no humbug and bad management. We had over the choicest spirits and voices that Italia could furnish, or money procure. The Italian Opera then, was what it purported to be. But the old familiar faces—the old school—the aristocratic families—our real fashionable citizens, and people who really have a correct and critical taste, and could appreciate such music as we at that time—where are they now? Fifteen years do make changes ; and I pledge you my word that, at the end otf alto secondo, I had to leave the place—I was sick and diegusted. I have but little te say about the opera or the performers. Truffi, poor girl, seemed sadly out of sorts. The last time I heard her, I think, was in Milan. I telt bad—the contrast was pain- ful—then she sang as she can sing ‘when she is sure ot being paid, and has an audience that can discriminate and Spereciate her excellencies. As it was, she seemed to do as much as could be ex- pected to an audience that, out of the whole number present, I’ll take oath, there were not twenty people ip the place who could have discovered the difie- rence, it she had sang in Choctaw. Hernotes were poured forth exactly as if she had aa idea that the management had broke. The other characters were £0 80, all but the choruses—they were exe- crable ; but this I thought nothing of, when I found out who they{were. 1 was informed by a person who sat near me, that the manager, Mr. Fry, (by the way, tell me, who is this Mr. Fry 1—is he that rather conceited chap who took the Gazette in Philadelphia off the hands of my old friend ‘Walsh, turned editor and smashed the paper— breke the concern !—Fry, Fry—It 1s tamtliar—I don’t know but I have got the name mixed up in my mind witha Mrs. Fry—a celebrated female prisong visiter about London, whose work I have read or heard of; but never mind that.) ‘Mr. Fry,” he said, ‘*gave out tickets to needy young men, who had good voices, and allowed such to bring their relatives, or temale friends, without ay, provided they sae as chorussingers.” Nota bee idea that. scenery of the new piece was out of sense and out of date. The costumes were ditto. I was astomshed that Truffi, who has taste, should have appeared in a dress, in the firat act, that reminded me very forcibly ot an old heir- loem,—a dress wern by one my great great rand-mothers, in New England, before the reyo- lution. Astor the nobles of the court of a Span- ish king, their dresses are not those usually worn by the ragamufhn banditti in all respectable modern operas. Nowa word about the persons present. Who, do you su; , was the first man I met, on ascend- ing the stairs to the firet tier of boxes? He was a a little fellow from Connecticut, whom I first knew sweeping an office in Wall street. He knew me at once. Do you remember the old cellar, long ears ago? Did I think, then, when I used to al- low you to knock off the j and 4 per cent dis- counts for two or three days loan on drafts oa Bos- ton and Philadelphia, that { was furni with thefwherewith to shine in efter main pillar of fashion, and the patron of the Ita- lian Opera? He did not seem to enjoy the oper. for he was outside in the lobby when I enter and when came away. He made his money outerde—in the street. Only to think, in white kids and patent leathers !! I met a large number of men there, who I knew could hugh gon Truffi. They were dressed care- fully and in good taste. Those were the Italian, French, and Spaniel Delmonico’s domest French hotels gene hear music. I saw there, a German errand boy in my ewn store many years ago; the fellow had the imper- tinence to offer to shake hands with me! He asked me inte his private box. I will do him the justice to eay that the ladies in that box were dressed in exceeding good taste. His wife had been a dreay-maker, and she was there with her sisters. Is it possible that the brokers now lead the musical world? Why, there were more brokers in the plaee, that I once knew, than I supposed were now in existence. — I remarked this fact to a former cashier of a Wall street bank, whom I metin the lobby. His repl; was, that the brokers aud clerks in dry- is stores in Broadway, the Bowery, Canal and Cath- arine streets, were the main support of the Opera. My friend pointed out to me a |: number of aosedinaly well dressed individuals, whom he said used, in one day, to be denominated black- lege, but were now known as the tancy men, who congregated in haunts in Broadway, near the Bowery theatre and Park Row. The females with these individuals were very well behaved, and not gaudily dressed. The ladies who were with the dry-goods young men were evidently respectable pecs. In fact, I think they a red more mo- dest, and made lees show and rustling than the wives and daughters of my old friends the brokers. ButI am sick of the subject. I have heard this barbers and hair dressers; », and the waiters in the ly, they were at the Upera to opera pla: fitty times in the most celebrat- ed of ng Basle on the Continent, and I assure youl should not bave recognised the charaetors, scenery, costumes, or incidents, had it not been for the music and the bills. { must do the ma- nage ment justice, and say that they deserve a great deal of credit for the originality with which they have got up this piece. The orchestra was so so. I should judge they were not paid more than day wages, from the manner in which they performed. I must mention the conductor; he is the most amusing charac- ter I ever saw similarly situated; a sick m‘ key never made more amusing gestures; his gri- maces made two little girls near me go into con- Yulsicns—their mother had to send them nome.— The little fellow, perched upon a stool, with his litt.e atick, worked like a beaver ; he evidently felt the opera rested on his shoulder bones. The ma- bagement should pay him high he earns his mo- ney. Iwas carpalaed to hear the sweet notes of a flute, which 1 knew I had heard yearsago. I loowed at the performer, and found [ was not mis- taken. Ah, this is a world of changes! Poor, amiable Kyle, to have become 80 reduced in cir- cumstances as to make that exquisite flute of his talk 1a such an orchestra and to such an audi- ence! Now is it possible that men of standing, taste, and respectability will patronise, or in the slightest degree countenance, such an abortive, miserable humbug as this so calla sentinn Opera is, and must prove tobe? SBrokérs, barbers, gambiers, dry-goods clerks, and foreign boot- blacks, attempt- ing to give tone and direction to the respectable, influential classes ot the community! I am shock- ed; my nervous system 18 prostrated, and | shail cut the Ope. This 1s my first and last visit uatil this bubble burst up, and the Opera goes into the hands ef men who have some tangible position in the community, and who are known to possess a refined musical taste, and the ability to sustain it. Excuse me, my dear str, for trespassing upon your patience by my lengthy epistle; but you destr- ed me toexpress my opinion te you, after I had ud a visit tothe Astor Place Opera. Ihave frank- ly 1ven it to you in my own » ay, and after my own fashion. I omitted to mention the gallery—I was not up there. lt appeared tobe tolerably well filled. I asked an old acquaiatance—a religious, revpecta- ble man, in one of the slips—what clase of people they were? He replied to me inFrench, “ca- naule.” J observed females, as well as males, and the gallery was nearly one-half filled. The remain- der of the house, I should judge, was, at tae very rhe one-third full--it was certat.ly one-quarter full. These views are partly private. I would. not wish to hurt the feelings of many very respectable friends whom met the other evening, and whom I had not seen since my return from Europe; the’ might suepect me of being your correspondent, should you publish this letter in Paris—-which, for this reason, I would prefer your not doing. , Can aghyas the old opera time, years ago, we nad our burding at the corner of Leonard and Chureh streets. The fashionable musical world used then to come to it, from the fashionable parts of the city. There has been a complete turn-about. Now, the Opera House is ina fashionable quarter of the Bos and the great proportion of its frequenters, I should judge, hailed from the purlieus of where the old Italian Opera House used to stand. | ay, &e oe in’r, Rue de la Paix, Panis.

The payments of specie into the Custom house are principally in American gold, and the demand has very little influence : pom quotations im the street. Small silver coim, of American coinage, has been in active demand for shipment to California, and a premium of three and four per cent has been paid for five and ten cent pieces. This ae- soription of money will be found very useful among the gold mines, and we have no doubt those who take it out will make a very handsome prefit by the operation, The business on the Erie Railroad, for January, shows an immense gain on the same month of last year, a oon- siderable portion of which, of course, has been derived ym the Binghamton extension.
