It is the opinion of Mr. Surgi, tbat with the new outlet in the ridge. and the drainiug machines, the water can be kept down to its preseut le- vel. if uot materially lowered. even in case the crevasse continues open. If these anticipations should fortu- putely be realized, the further spread of damage and distress will be stayed. ‘The outlet of water in the rear has not, of course, yet had any effect upon the flvod in the districts be- low the New Canal. where the rise continued up to the time we went to press, Common street, on the south ly inundated up to Circus street, and present the appearance of canals, ndy stated, the Workhouse is entirely surrounded by water, aud the Protestant Cemetery is nearly in the same condition.

ANOTHER CREVASSE. Another crevasse, of un alarining character, occurred on Sunday evening. about 8 o'clock. upon the plauta- tion of Butler Kenner, Eq.. about three miles above Mr. Sauve’s. Most fortunately it was discovered be- fore it was ten fect wide. It soon. however, widened to about forty feet, and nearly twelve feet deep. The levee was an old and strong one, and was not burst in by pressure; the banks caved in, having b under. mined. Most luckily, as soon a. it was discovered, the work of stopping it wax commoneed with great vigor, and pursued to-ultimate success. There was large quantity of siakes or small piles in the vicinity, which dt been cut for the purpose of being trans- ed to Mr. Sauve’s crevaase. These were at once cured and drivem in double rows, and the inter- inte epace filled with hny, brush and bays of earth—the bags to contain the earth having been procured from Mr Sauve’s. With so much vi- gor was the work conducted throughout the night, that by about 8 o'clock on Monday morning the whole aperture was closed, Yesterday afternoon the water upon the plantation was pumped out, the plantation baving rear and ride levecs. and by evening the land was nearly dry, without any serious injury to the crop.

Portions of Canal street, below Circus street, are co- vered, and last evening the back.water was filling the gutters on the contrary side. The First. Municipality ix now receiving a large portion of it, and nearly ail the streets iu the rear of Marais are flooded. So far, it has not crossed the Old Canal, but that it will do so there can be but little doubt. During the 24 hours ending yesterday, at 9 o'clock, A.

This evening they will give another; and. from a view of the pro- grainme, we can promise those who visit them that they will receive a rich vocal andYnusical treat. Nothing, indeed, can exceed the harmony which they produce from their brase instruments. The echo ductt was executed with a sweetness of sound which spoke a lan- guage to the heart—it was rendered with such «oft, melodious tones; echo repeating the softstrains in sup- pressed aceents, which might resemble the fairy music described in romantic tales, Dusseivonr’s Acapemy or Fixe Ants.—This exhibi- tion of paintings by celebrated artists, is every day visited by numbers of our citizens, who express their great admiration and pleasure, Cnnisty’s Minste —Now is the time, on these de- lightful summer evenings. to go and hear the Christys, and thus refresh the mind after the hard toil of the : for their beautifal music and laughable perform- * cannot fail to eal, ‘Lbey are nightly intro- ducing new songs. &e., into thelr programas ; und in fact are as racy as ever, if nota little more so, Their Voyage Musicaie” is as much admired as on the first night of its production, Stamese Twrns,—Mesere, Chang and Eng, and their bright and intelligent little ehildren, are the lions of the day in this city, as their reception hours, at the Apollo, are taken advantage of by erowds of our citi- zens.

We need not say that this, their parting concert, will be @ most brilliant one, and worthy of as brilliant an audience. Mr, Brovon, the vocalist, was in Cleveland, on the 17th inst.

When we reached the college grounds, their beautiful and healthful appearance seemed to brighten up the countenances, and give additional lustre to the eyes of the fairer portion of the passengers. Ladies Mere seen, elegantly dressed, passing to aud fro on the pleasure ground of this magnificent and peaceful edi- fice. The fields presented a hue of delightful verdure, and the trees were commencing to bud and blossom in beauty and loveliness. Having arrived some time pre- vious to the chemical entertainment, and being desi- rous to know who resided in many comfortable man- sions, adjoining this rural and sacred retreat, after acquiring all the information we could glean, and finding that the“ loaves and fishes” are not equ divided in this life. we perceived an humble domieil, and were informed the possessor was an extremely re ligious man, his occupation being a mender of soles and we remarked to the gentleman who accompanied ‘us, and who took some degree of pleasure in punning upon this mechanic's avocation, that perhaps he may be better able to render an account of his stewardship, ‘and to pay more regard to laying the proper unction to his sole, much more profitably, perhaps, than some of the highest dignitaries of the church. But the object of our misrion was to attend the chemical entertainment, and we hastened to the college, and there beheld a large as- semblage of our citizens, partaking of the splendid re- pust prepared for their enjoyment, by the truly hospi- table President and Vice President, Reverends ‘The- baud and Murphy. We followed this party to the Hall of Studies, where « stage was tastefully arranged for the speakers, and there beheld a fine body of young men and boys. residents in the college, with features fully proclaiming that not only were their spirit wants attended to, but also that their corporeal ne: tities were amply supplied. The opening discourse was delivered by Master Da- vid A. Merrick, of New York. who, in a short but pithy address, pointed out the object of the meeting, namely: to explore the depths of chemistry. und to im- part to mankind the kowledge derived trom such a eci- entific feast and novel banquet. He concluded by say- ing that men were no longer content to behold the beauties of nature, without investigating their charac- ter by chemical knowledge -a science which was sim- ple, and within the reach of all. Mr. Massse, aided by @ vocal class attached to the college, then executed the “Chorus of Belisario,” which would have reflected credit on some of our pro- fersional artists. Mr. Masse, as a pianist of considera- Die celebrity—having, we understand. been a professor in France, is a great acquisition to the academieal pur- suits of St. John’s College. Mr, Tuos. Cou.ins, of Albany, next addressed the au- dience on various chemical experiments, such asthe effects of ammonia, ammoniated sulphate of cop- per—water, by their admixture, changing to different colors—and ribbons variously colored when plunged into colorless liquids. Mr. Hocan, of Troy, next followed on the subject of affinity, in'proot of which he produced, by another chemical process, white, red, and yellow precipitate, | Prussian blue, chocolate color, white cloud, and oxygen and binoxide of nitrogen. ‘The chorus of “Iphigenien Tauride,” was then thril- lingly performed by the vocal band. Mr. Keecan, of Brooklyn, then entered, with great cleverness, upon the subject of the specitic gravity of liquids, alto of gases, &e. jaster Mexnicx then delivered an address on light, detonations, &c., which was very cleverly handled.— ‘This is a very promising young man, Mr. Kescan, of Brooklyn, wound up the lectures, by stating that the chemicul class was only six months ia existence, and that their present effort being a first attempt, he hoped they would receive the kind indal- gence of theit friends, and trusted on a future occasion m. und his band of youthful vocalists then ex- conted the chorus of “Freixchutz,” and the visiters of this admirable establishment proceeded towards their respective hemes, highly delighted with the rich treat they had received, and with the conviction that, with- in the walls of St. John’s College, everything that can exalt and dignify the human species, in literary gran- deur. can be attained under the intellectual preceptors of this now celebrated college. We are informed that, in consequence of the great numbers applying tor ad- mirsion, the College is about being enlarged. This speaks well for the directors of the institution, A.
