The Opera Seaso: ‘The grand company engaged by Maretzck commenced the Opera season last night, at the Astor Place Opera House, The house was well filled with « brilliant and fashionable audience, among whom we discovered most of the real lovers of the opera, whose musical taste plays no secondary part to their own personal appearance, In the throng, the bright eyes of the beautiful flashed upon the scene like diamonds—corusecating in the lights of elegance, and fashion, and loveliness on every side, A new belle, with diamonds on her brow, attracted general attention by her beanty, vivacity, and costume, as she appeared in the parquette; and even the interest ta- ken in the debutante of last season, who sat near > her, was lessened, but yet made, perhaps, more animated, by the division of remarks on these two attractive ladies. In the dress circle, were noticed many of those hearty admirers of music whose » sympathies are with the bewutiful and the true; end when the curtain fell between the acts, it was an ag able sight to see the happy recoznitions of those acquain- tances which seldom extend beyond the opera circle We have no space to note, how all the little inci dents of the evening; but when Maretzck appeared, the enthusiasm commenced, and it was continued till the close of the opera—Bosio, Caroline Victti, Lorini, Marini, and all the auxiliaries, being honored with encores plaudits, calls to appear before the curtain, and those other demonstrations of public favor peculiar to the opera, To-morrow evening, Bettini and Bosio will appear in © Lucia di Lammermoor.” Bettini has not yet been heard.

On Monday night, about the hour of nine o'clock, a conflict took place om board the Swedish ship Thetis, Captain Sandstrom. lying at pier 54 Kast river, foot of Corlaers street, in which the first mate of said ship, | | named Olof Theodore Zetholm, was attacked and beaten in the cabin. by the second mate, called Frederick | Oberg, inflicting an injury on the head of the mate which caused his death in ten or fifteen minutes thereafter, Oberg, after perpetrating the injury, made his escape from the vessel, but was caught the next morning by officer Newton, of the Seventh ward, secreted at a sailor boarding house, kept by a Mr. Nelson, at Ne. 103 Wash- | ington street. The accused was ironed aud conveyed back to the vessel in the custody of the police, where, by this time, Coroner Geer had been notified. and was prepared to hold an inquest en the body. A jury was | empanelled, and in the cabin where the crime had been perpetrated the evidence was taken. The prisoner was seated in one corner, his whole frame exhibiting a high state of nervous excitement. The testimony taken in the ease. implicating the pri- soner, consisted of three witnesses, seamen of the ship, whose evidence showed that some ill feeling existed be- tween the privoner and the deceased, and thet the pri- | ¢. boner was determined to desert from the thip, but before | leaving. he expressed a determination to whip deceased; | and alter securing his chest and other portions of his | dunnage, he stated to one of the seamen that he was go- ing to bave some satisfaction out of the mate, as he had been telling false stories about him to the captain. Accordingly, he proceeded into the cabiu, and Frederick T. Hogman looked down the skylight. and witnessed the prisoner strike the deceased three several blows in the face; the deceased appeared to be avoiding a conflict, and endeavoring to get away by retreating; hut the prisoner followed in nd exelui have you now—you can't aa heard Alstinetly by the other witnosees, and t was heard to ery out for assistance, The prisoner rushed out from the cabia with an open bladed knife. and. as he was making his way over the side of the ship to enter his boat, he exclaimed, “He ought to have a little more but he is too feeble.” When the prisoner left the ship, the witnesses, Charles G.

There was also & contusion over the temporal bone. and be- | neath that portion of the sealp, whieh likewise contained considerable effusions of blood. Upon the evidence adduced during the inquiry, aud after a few brief re- marks made by Coroner Geer, the jury returned the following@ verdict:—That the deceased, Olot Theodore Zetholm, came to his death by wounds inflicted on the head by the hands of the > prlouner, Frederick Oberg. ‘The Coroner, on the above verdict, committed the isoner to the Tombs for trial, on « charge of murder. | he three witnesses wore likewise taken into custody. and were committed to privon, in default of bail, to appear and testify at the trial. ‘The deceased was a single man The prisoner has « wife in Germany Amateur Coxerer—We wnierstand that a number concert at the Church of St. Vincent of Paul, Canal street, on Friday evening, the Oth | instant, for the benefit of the Benevolent Society of the Ladies of St. Vincent of Paul.

He could imagine | nothing that appeals more to the soctal feeling of man- kind, than this meneure of a home for all, He geve his hearty concurrence to those resolutions. and exprewed his wish that the publie lands should be given to actual settlers, in limited quantities. He was opposed to arant- tng the public lande fur aay purpore but setual use, and thin only on nscale of jtrtice to all; while he wns, at the rome time. oppored to agg By to ony person for the purpore of speculation.

There the laboring man must mubinit | to the terms of his employer, or become a charge on the parish. In either case he is unfit to be a freeman.

Another consideration in favor of & land re- form is the improvement of the race—a very important subject. which is too much overlooked, The consequences of a monopoly of the land are easily seen, Monopolists take choice locations, and seize on them and hold them for years, unproductive, as if they were in the Desert of Sahara. In his travels over the prairies, within a year, he wasstruck with the absence of improvement; and on inquiring why it was that wastes existed—why cities and towns did not exist there—he was informed that the lands were in the hands of speculators, Au- other evil connected with the monopoly of the public lands is the tenant system, which has worked ch injury in other countries. ‘This syster makes t ant not only the slave of the monopolist, but of the decline and fluctuation of the markets. Le could illustrate these propositions, if necessary. The political aspect of the matter is also important. Our constitution recognizes the right of self government, and the capacity of man for self government. How is a man to govern himself, or tomake laws or constitutions, when he is struggling for existence? To do 80, a man must feel the dignity of labor. and know that his labor will give him a support. Political economists have made a great mistake as to what constitutes the wealth of « country. itis not money,or lakes, or rivers, or any- thing else but labor, which makes a nation wealthy and Prosperous. (Applause.) If we were disposed to look over the history of the past, it would be found that the want of this prineiple was’the eause of the destrac- tion of the republics of Greece, and of other na- tions. How was it with Veu She set out bright hopes; but there was too little attention pa labor, and they fell, ® warning to republics. So it was with every other republic; republic thay not fall. He believed that if the monopo- lists be allowed to take the public lands, a great step will be taken im that direction. A population placed at the mercy of employers cannot be free men. Another orator made a speech, and contended that the land from which we derive our food, should be as free as the water with which we slake ourthirst, LHe contended that the people's sovereignty can be maintained only by Jand reform. Possession of the soil. he said, has been in If there were no other argument in favor of land reform, this would be eufficient for the purpose. Instead of land reform being engrafted on democracy, he coatended that democracy should be engrafted upon land reform. The principle is adopted by myriads cf American citizens, and sooner or later it will prevail, A member of the Industrial Congress said this was a great day for the democracy. A banner has been raised. under whieh democracy will be victorious.

Let the voice of to-night go forth. and wer on earth can suppress it. Let our democratic orators go forth and preach this doctrine, and every man shall have a home of his own. The evils of land monopoly are felt in this State, as weli us in other parts of the country. In this State, there is land which never felt a spade or a plough, Fufficient to feed the people of tl ‘hole State; but it is covered by asheep #<in—the most stretchy of all skins— ‘and the consequence is it is unproductive. For hitnself, he travelled the country, and spoke to the people ow land reform He told thei that when their orators and clergymen Would commence to advocate the principle, he would ceare doing so. They have so come out, and does not now appear in public, except oceasionsily, when called on. Mixx WatsH was called upon to address the meeting, but he declined, on the ground that he would have no- thing so do with barnburners—that the Union question mut be settled in Tammany Hall before he would con- sent to speak on any other subject.

We allude par- icularly to the Erie Railroad stock and lower class ot | bonds, Our anticipaiions relative to this stock have Leen fully realized It will be recollected that we at tributed the recent rise in price to the excitement at tending the opening of the road through to Dunkirk and we remarked at (he time, that as soon as the great festival was over the market value of the stock would depreciate, All this has taken place, the stock is now five per cent lower than at the opening of the road, and the probability is that prices will steadily settle down, until « point somewhere iu the vicinity of the intrinsic value of the stock is reached. It would puzzle almost any one to tell where that is, The earnings for amounted to $174,345 12, against $148,226 55 for the corresponding | month last year, showing an increase of only $26,118 57 for an additional length cf road of about one hundred miles, from which business was drawn part of the month. It is our impression that the net income for May, 1861 was considerably less than for May, 1800. Large lots of stock were sold to-day. on time, sellers’ option, Harlem and Reading Railroad were firm at our quotations Both were in demand, and holders by no means disposed to sell, except at an advance. It is our cpinion—and we wish to place it on reeord—that the position of Erie and Harlem Railroad stock, in the scale of prices, will be reversed in less than twelve months. Harlem will go up to where Erie Railroad now is. and Erie will come down te where Harlem now is. Reading Railroad is sustained by the force of speculation. It is in the hands of partics who have the means to carry, if nesessury, a good portion. of the whole capital stock, and the probability is that prices will touch higher points, Long Island Railroad ie pretty steady; but there is not much activity in the stock Canton is dull, but firm, Edgeworth Co. improving Portsmcuth Dry Dock depressed and depreciating.

The statement we published yesterday of the exports of gold dust from San. Francisco, in each of the first three months of 1850 and 1851, shows an incrense of several millions in the ship” ments this year, The returns for April show a large ex- portation; but they are not official, and cannct be cou paratively given. In April, last year, the shipments of gold dust from San Francisco amounted to $2,201,000. ac cording to the Custom House returns, This year they were more than double that amount, and as the season advances, they are likely to exhibit even a greater per cent increase, By the steamers Empire City and Nerth America, we are in receipt of nearly three millions of dollars in gold dust, aud the Falcon will probably take a large amount from Chagres to New Orleans ‘The steam, ers Oregon and Republic, at Panama from San Fran- ciseo, brought down upwards of two millions in gold dust on freight, and it is estimated, from the large number of passengers and the character of the homeward bound travellers. that full ae much more was on board ta trunks and carpet bags.
