ARRIVAL OF THE CHEROXEE. THREE DAYS LATER FROM CUBA. Renerreeeuener vers ‘The Reception of the New Captain Generat, and the Departure of General Concha for SPANISH INTRIGUE. Bice, bic, do. The steamship Cherokoo, Capt. Davenport, ar- rived yesterday morning, from Havana, after a pas- sage of four anda half days. Our correspondence is to the 18th, and our files of the Diario dela Marina and Geceta de la Haba- na, are to the 17th inst., both inclusive. The pureer of the C., Mr. Wm. W. Boyle, very kindly supplicd us with late nows. The new Captain General of Cnba, Don Valontin Canedo, arrived at Havana, as we announced on Thursday, the 15th, and Gon. Concha took his de- parture for Spain on the 16th inst. Our Havana Correspondence. Havana, April 16, 1852. Arrival of the New Captain General--Departure of Gen. Concha—Affection of the Cubans for him— Character of the Man--Why he was re-called— Insult to the Empire City, §c. If the sudden dismissal of Gen. Concha were in- tended by the imbecile governmont at Madrid as a sort of disgrace, the people of Havana have, this afternoon, shown how they can, when they choose, express their own opinions upon a subject of so much importance to them as the appointment or dismissal of their Captain-General. I have seen five Captains-Goneral arrive and do- part, but have never seen anything equal to tho demonstrations of affection and respect that was shown to General Concha. It is not permitted to cheer any one but the Queen, but upon this occasion the people broke through all rule and etiquette, and notwithstanding that the rain poured down in tor- rents, the streets and houses, ail the wharves, th> vhipping in tho harbor, and the whole coast, as far asthe Punta Castle were lined with thousands of people who rent the air with Viva Gen. Concha;” *-Long live Gen, Concha;” while the Queen’s namo was reccived with utter indifference. I did not think these people capable of such enthusiasm. It was a glorious sight to sce and hear them. What a reproof to the miserable government of Spain! All the merchant steamors in the harbor followed tho Msabella Catolica (in which Genoral Concha embarked), crowded with people who re-echoed the vivas from the shore. The steamer started down the harbor preciscly at five o’clock P. M. All the vessels in port hoisted their flags, and pre- sented a most exciting scene. These people generally are so unexcitnble that their spontaneous burst of vassionate indignation—for their fecling was, that ha had been decply wronged—ssomod to sur- prise oven themselves, and they kept it up long after the General, who’ stood bowing gracefully on the larboard paddle box, had passed out of sight. It is fortunate for Spain that sho has such loyal cfficers, for such the feeling of this people that had he raised his hand, putting at defiance the go- vernment of Madrid, he would have been joined by every man on the island, A sum of $3,600 is all the funds that romain at his disposal. Such was the suddenness of this recall, that he has beon obliged to give his state carriage to his aid-de-camps for sale, to enzble them-to pay their debts. last act was the apprehension and detention of a cl filting out near Cardenas for a slave trading voynge. Somo of the leading people here have subscribed a largo sum, it is said one hundred thousand dollars, which they forwarded to Madrid, to bo presented to his three daughtors, as a token of their esteem and sympathy. He said, as you did some time ago, that it is im- 4 sible for an upright man to govern in Cuba; he bas Jong been disgusted at the frightful extent of coiruption everywhere carried on by the subal- tern officers throughout the island, and has twico asked to be recalled; he has had powerful enemies to contend sah at Madrid, a clique composed of Catalans and slave traders, who have succeodod in getting him dismiszed in an ignominious manner. An incident occurred on the wharf, a few minute before ho left, which may have shocked the fecling of many Americans. Asthe people were waiting the starting of the Spanish steamer, the Empire City entered the harbor, crowded with passengers, and in passing up, when opposite the assemblage, she was saluted with the whistling of hundreds, after the style of the rowdies at theatres, when any- thing displéases them. They say tho new man is a regular “serew,’’ and that he comes to make money; he is announced in the papers as having arrived with two nid-de- amps and one servant. When Concha came, his retinue was legion. I never hoard such universal expressions of dis- satisfaction. Had not Concha received a private letter from his brother, via Charleston, on the 11th inst., the first intimation of his recall would have been the appearance of his successor. What a figure the new man cuts, having arrived in the midst of the royal feasts. The now Captain-General, Don Valentin Canedo, has just been installed in office. The principal officors, Gen. Lerney, Gen. Man- zano, &c., have declared their intention not to re- anain here. Havana, April 18, 1852. The Arrival and Departure—The Press—The Con- tributions to General Enna’s Widow, and others. The Spanish mail steamer, Ferdinand the Catho- lic, arrived on the evening of the 15th with the new Captain General Cafiedo and his suite on board. On the 16th, cazly in the morning, he was conducted ashore, and passing through a long line of troops, took possession of the government palace. In the evening of tho same day, Gen. Concha, with his suite and family, sailed for Spain in the steamer Isabel tho Catholic. An immense concourse of the people lined tho wharves to the mouth of the har- bor, to pay him their parting salutes. He was evi- dently surprised and affected with the hearty spon- tancous tribute paid him. In his short administra- tion he has proved himself amply able to fill the office from which he has been recalled, and deserv- ing the gratitude of the Cuban people. A sub- seription has already been set on foot to present him with a handsome testimonial of the estimation in which the Habancros hold his character. It is re- ported, upon good authority, that Gen. Concha expended far more than the emolumonts of his office while on the island, aud he certainly declined re- ceiving many perquisites which his predecessors have taken. His benevolence and kindliness of heart wore no less marked traits of his character, than were his energy, firmness and practical good se nse. There has lately been a singular movemont of the Spanish authorities relative to the Preas. The Cronica, published in New York. the supporter o Spanish rule in this island, has, by a decree of the overmmont at Madrid, been prohibited to circulate in the dominions of Spain, on account, as it is given out, of the bitterness with which it troated the American government in_ its articles about this island. The Liario dela Marina, of this city, has bea fined $5,000 for having committed the same fault. In the Diario of yesterday isa list of the gratui- ties bestowed upon the widows and children of the Killed, and upon the survivors who distinguished themselves in tho destruction of the last expedition under Lopez. Gen. Enna’s widow receives $10,000; the children of Lieut. Travesi, $5,000; Major Na- dal, $6,508; cighty-two soldiers, $700 each, &c. ‘The whoke sum distributed amounts to $111,400; this was oollectod from, or eontributed by, the citi- wens of Cabs, with the excoption of some sums sent hore by Spanish residents in Muxico. B. The Change in the Government. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL CANEDO. From the Diario de la Marina, April 17.) His Excellency, senior Lieutenant-General of tho moyal *rmies, D. Valentin Canedo, nominated, by Her Majecty the Queen, Civil Superior and Captain- General of the Island, took posgession, on the 16th imet., of his high office. The honorable antecedents of the public life of His Excellency, give us the groatest hope that he will know how to worthily answer the favor of our august sovercign, in being for Cuba an authority as intelligent and active as right. Wishing not to stain our lips with vulgar adulations, we should not express such sentimonts if we were not firmly con- vinced of their trath. THE DEPARTURE OF GEN. CONCHA.

I pray you to decide, now that I leave this mandate in ‘the hands of my worthy successor, if I was not faithful tomy promise? For my part I can affirm, with all security, that I never forsook, with a doliberate in- tention, that promise.

Josk DE LA Concua. Havana, April 16, 1852. rigues. YO THE DON NEWS. Sm,—Blessed with an unfettered press, that surest guarantee of national and individual liberty, Eng- lishmen can hardly realize the slavery of the pen in continental countries. Whilst the autocrat of I'ranco drives journalists into exile, or exports them to Ca- yenne, pursuing them with his power, and stopping their publications even in Belgium, the rulers of Spain, following at humble distance, content them- selves with occasional fine and imprisonment, and with daily wholesale seizures. However astounding it may be tous, it no longer excites surprise—scarcely dees it elicit a remark—at the Puerta del Sol, when half a dozen papers are seized in one morning. Daunted and disheartened by such persceution, the Madrid press has degenerated into a receptacle of the baldest common-place and most trivial gossip But for the correspondents of the London papers, and a few private letters, our ignorance of what really passes in Spain would be profound. The effects might es be visible, but the causes would be eternally shrouded. Owing to the virtual prohibi- tion of comment and conjecture, the Spanish news- papers have supplied us with no reasons for two re- cent incidents, which are nevertheless of sufficient importance to attract attention, and invite investi- ave One of these is the journey to Paris, of the Juke of Rianzares, husband of the Dowager Queen of Spain. The other is the sudden dismissal, without assigned cause, of the Captain-Goneral of Cuba, General Concha, and his two able seconds in command, Generals Lemerich and Manzano. Communications from well informed, trust- worthy sources enable me to explain the journey of the duke and the disgrace of the gencrals. The same wily hand which on so many occasions since 1843 has made its illegitimate action felt in Spanish affaire, has here pulled the strings and worked the changes. The restless ambition of Maria Christina is as insatiable as her notorious greed. She, who fawned upon the citizen-king when his star was in the ascendant, now salutes the rising sun of the em- pire. Her mae: as you are of course aware, has a very numerous family by M. Munoz, and her elder daughters are fully marriageable, she having been more or less married to her second lord within a few weeks of the decease of her first. To get eligible husbands for the Misses Munoz is one of Queen Chris- tina’s great objects in life, and she loses no chance of advancing it. Hence Rianzares’ visit to Paris. How far Louis Napoleon is likely to take the bait— whether he will consider the queerness of the con- nection compensated by the amount of the dowry— is matter for conjecture. Doubtless the richest wo- man in Europe—such is Christina—is prepared to open her coflers handsomely; but the temptation would have been greater in the early days of the presidentehip, when creditors pressed, and ‘the court chamber stinted supplies, than now that the reve- nues of France, like evorything else in the coun- try, are at the mercy of an arbitrary decree. The mention of dowry, leads me to the matter of Concha’s dismissal—by a transition fa more natural than may at first be evident to the un initiated in the ways of Spain. In Spain, more emphatically than in any other country, cash con- stitutes the sinews of war—in politics as in the field. + Venality is rampant there, riding roughshod over honor and morality. None more thoroughly than Christina are impressed with the importance of a well-garnished purse. To obtain the means of carry- ing out her plans and forwarding her intrigues, she eometimes surmounts scruples by which the punctili ous might be deterred. Her views of the slave trade are by no means such as would meet the approval of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton. On the other hand, General Concha—one of the most honest and able Spanish miliiary commanders of the day—aided by his lieutenants, Lemerich, atistinguished officer; and Manzano, who was very active in suppressing the last Carlist insurrection in Catalonia—has shown great zealand vigor, not only in beating off Yankee buca- neers, but also in suppressing the infamous traffic in human flesh, which is notorioualy still carried on between Cuba and the African coast; a traflic which many previous Captains Gennral havo flagrantly connived at and profited by receiving head-money for cated negro imported into the een onl: island. Concha has too zealous and vigorous, too honest and determined, in the couse of legality and humanity; and his subordinates have only too ably pconded s him. Cargoes of ebony, in whose safe arrival a strong interest was felt in bag it have been interrupted and confiscated. Hine tlle lachryma. Hence the sudden hauling down of Concha’s flag, and the hoisting of the Miraflores’ banner, which has ever waved obedient to the breath of Ferdi- nond’s astute widow. I write facts. Here a few persons, in Spain thou- sands, could endorse and confirm my statements. But in Spain the prose is gagged, and few hore heed fatter, Let British craivers and anti-slavery ties look to it.

It is now said that the coronation of Solonque, as Emperor of Hayti, which was to have taken place on tho 11th inst., is postponed till tho 18th inst. (From tho Boston Traveller, April 22.) Although this isthe third your of tho olen of Solouquo, as Emporor of Hayti, the grand and solemn ceremony of crowning that august personage and his imperial consort has but just taken place. Tho most extensive preparations appear to have been made for tho coronation, and for many months back the advices from the empire have boon leading us to look for the speedy occurrence of the event; but not until tho last accounts has tho iso day been announced. The day fixed was tho 11th of this month. Tho intelligence has not yot reached us that the coronation actually took place on the day but a friond has favored us with a copy of programme of the ceremonies, ag ar- ranged and published by the propor authori This document is too jong to be translated in full for our columns. It aspocifies with groat minutenoss the whole plan of the grand fete and details with the utmost particularity every movement of the military and civil and clorical dignjtaries, and all ethers to whom any part in tho imposing coremonials was assigned. © Prosu- ming that the corowation took place on the 11th, and that everything was done in accordance with this programme, wo have abstracted from it the fol- lowing description of the august and glorious ocon- 2 sion, which our readers will have ‘in advance of the mail.” The account will afford no littlo intorest and entertainment to the reader. The coremonies of crowning the Emperor Napoleon, it will be ob- erved, have been imitated, in many particulars, by tho illustrious imperialists of Hayti. On the evening of the 10th of April, at sunset, a royal salute of one hundred and one guns was fired from the forts, and the city was illuminated in all quarters. At 3 o'clock next morning, tho military collected from all parts of the empire, were formed ina body upon the Champs de Mars. At 4, the ordinary sessions, and the administrative and judicial bodies to the palace of justice ; from whence at 44, they rey of cavalry ax infantry, to the Champs de Mara, bors of the Legislature Sere to the place of ired, under an escort of detachments where they were received by the grand master of ceremonies and conducted to the places azsigned for them. At 5 o’clock, the Vicar Goneral and Grand Chaplain, followed by tho clergy, under a military escort, repaired to the Champs de Mars, where tho Grand Cae presented to tho Viear General tho sprinkling prush and holy water, with which tho clergy, the magistracy, and the people, were suc- cessively sprinkled. At 6 o'clock ror and Empress set out from the Palac an imperis! escort of eight platoons of Light Horse, and amidst the rin, rd of bells and salvos of artille- ry. proceeded to the Champs de Mars—the proces- sion being arranged as follows: chevaliers, barons, counts, and dukes, six abreast; the Ministers of State and the Chancellor; Princes of the imporial fami- ly ; Prince Jean Joseph, alone—all on fuot ; detach- ments of Light Horse and Gronadiers, mounted ; six aids-de-camps of the Emperor ; their majesties, the Emperor and Empress, and the Princess Olive, in a carriage, drawn by eight horsos~-the carriage being their imporial majestics, the Empo- tr 1 and under guarded by military officors, and surrounded by royal pages and equerri: Celia and Olivet, a aca the Imperial Princosses age drawn by six horses ; six aids-de-camp of the Emperor, two platoons of mounted Grenadiers ; ladies attached to the Impo- tial family, ladies of honor, tire-women, princesses, duchesses, countesses, baronnesses, and ladies of chevaliers, according to their blood. On arriving at the Champs do Mars, the various divisions of the procession were disposed of in ac- cordance with the minute details of the programmo, ‘The imperial carriage stopped in front of the impe- rial tent, the pages alighting from their horses, and forming lines on the right and left; the Grand Mas- ter of tke Horse opened the carriage door, gave his hand to his Majesty, assisted him to alight, and conducted him to the door of the tent—the Grand Equerry ot the Empress waiting upon hor Majesty, and certain officers upon the princesses in like man- ner. Aftor being duly invested with the imperial a parel, another procession was formed, and their najestics, with a large cortegé, proceeded on foot to the church, one officer carrying the cushion destined to receive the ring which was presented by the Ein- press te his Imperial Majesty previous to the cere mony of coronation; others baskets to receive th robes of the Emperor and Empress; another th crown of the Empress on a cushion; others the im penal globe, the Emperor's collar, ring, &c. The Emperor walked in this procession’ with ‘the erowa upon his head, and carrying the sceptre and rod of justice in his hand, while the Empress was without acrown. The Princesses Olive and Olivet carried the robe of the Empress, and the Princes Jean-Jo- seph and Alexander, that of the Emperor. On the entrance of their majesties in the church, another ealute of artillery was fired. They were severally presented with the holy water and con- ducted under a canopy carried by clergy, to the seats which they were to oceupy in the chancel. A triumphal march was played by the band of the Imperial Guard. When the imperial personages and all the efficers and attendants had been duly seat- ed and placed, the Vicar General proceeded to chant the Vent Creator, the clergy kneeling during the first stanza. Then followed, De ‘us qui corda fideliun, &c., during which their majesties kneeled to say their prayers. The imperial emblems—the crown, sword, rod of justice, sceptre, robes, rings, collar, the imperial globe, &c., were then formally carried to the altar by the grand dignitaries; after w is the Vicar General put the following question to the Emperor:—Profteris-ne charissime in Christo fii, &e. To which his Majesty, placing his hands Be the Holy Evangelists, answered:—Projiteor. The prayer, Omnipotens sempiterme Deus, &c., was then offered, after which the litanies were read. the priest kneeling, while their Majestics remained seated, After the verse Ut omnibus fidelibus de- functis, the Vicar General rose, and turning to their Majestics, recited the three verses, Ut hunc formulum tuum, &e., during which their Majesties kneeled. The priests then approached their majesties, pro- foundly bowing, and conducted them to the altar to receive the cy unction. This ceremony was duly performed, both Emperor and Empress receiving the unction upon their heads and hands, the choir of the imperial chapel singing meanwhile the following words:—Unuxerunt Salomonem, Sadoc sacerdos ct Nathan propheta regem in Sion, et accedentes lati dizerunt: Vivat in aternum. The coremony being ended, their majesties were re-conducted to the throne, and a mass was performed. Then fol- lowed, with intervening prayers, the benedictions upon the imperial emblems—the sword, robe, globe, rod of justice, seeptre, rings and crown. Their majesties were then re-conducted te the altar, attended by the officiating priests, the Grand Marshal of the Palace, and the Grand Chamberlain following, and maintaining a position behind the Emperor, and the ladies of honor and the tire-wo- men placing themselves in like manner behind the Empress. The imperial emblems were then for- mally delivered to his Majesty, in the following or- der:—I, the ring; 2, the sword; 3, the robe; which was placed upon the Emperor by the Grand Cham- berlain &md Grand Master of the Horse; 4, the im- perial globe; 5, the rod of justice; 6, the sceptre. With the two last emblems in his hands, the Em- peror kneeled and repeated a prayer. The ring and robe were then delivered to the Empress, th Tattoe being placed upon her shoulders by the ladies of honor and tho tire-women, The delivery of the em- blems was necompanied by music, and’ the prayers appropriate to each; as, for instance, with the ring, was said, Accipite hos awnnlos, &¢.; with the sword, Accipite gladium de Atari suptuum, &c.; with the globe, Accipe globum hunc, &e. The Emperor, replacing the rod of justice into the hands of the Chancellor, and the sceptre into the hands of the Grand Marshal of the Palace, ascended the altar, and taking the crown, placed it upon his head. Fe then crowned the Empress, she kneel- ing. The prayer of coronation, Coronet vos Deus corona gloria, which their Majesties, with due ceremony, resumed their places upon the throne. The Vicar Genoral, followed by the priests, now proceeded to the throne, and ascending it, addressed their majesties as fol- lows :—In hoc Impecii solio confirmét vos Deus, &c. He then kissed the Emperor's cheek, and turning to his assistants, said in a loud voice, Vivat Imperator in anutum. tho Emperor! Long live the Bmpress! &e., succoeded this ceremony, after The assistants responded—Long live Various other ceremonies and prayers followed these accla- mations; and then the Grand Chaplain, aecompa- nied by the clergy, proceeded to the throne and [chaos the Book of the Evangelists, to be kissed er ny their majesties.

The clergy, holding the canopy as before, repaired to tho foot of the throne, and their ties descended, and in the same order in which they came, were ro-conducted from tho church to tho im- perial tent upon the Champs de Mars.

Particulars of the Burning of the National 4 Bostor {From the Boston Kyening Transcript. 224 inst.) At about three o'clock this morning, the National Theatre, at the ner of Portland aad Traverse streets, was discovered on fire at tho roar of the stago, in tho corner towards Friend stroot. The flames spread with great rapidity ; and though tho firemen arrived with the utmost dospatch, the wholo building was well on fire before any water could be thrown. The edifice being of wood, with tho ont- side only cMered with plaster, it fell an easy prey to the devouring elemont, and was completely de- stroyed with all its contents, save some $200 or $300 worth of proporties and wardrobe. By tho skilful oxortions of tho department, not- withstanding tho theatre was almost surrounded by combustible buildings, the fire did comparativoly little damage beyond the destruction of the theatre. A carpenter's shop fronting on Friend street, an old wooden building, was iba dostroyed. ‘The wooden buildings on Traverse strect, apposite the theatre, were badly scorched, and some outbuildings atiachod tonblock of brick’ buildings fronting on riend street, were burned. The flames raged with uncxampled fury for a time, and even through the misty atinosphere made a fierce and dazzling Jight, which illuminated the entire north end with a brilliancy never before wit- nessed. The scone from tho heights in the suburbs was sublimely beautiful. The fire is generally believed to bo the work of an incendiary, as it originated near the back entrance, below the stage, where there had been no nei- ther bad any fireworks been employed during the performances of the evening ; nor was anything lia- le to spontaneous combustion known to bo within the building. The theatre estate was purchased of the heirs of William Pelby about two months since, by William Schier, Esq., for the sum of $40,000; and’ upon th building and its appurtenances of stage scenery, prop- erties, furniture, fixtures, &e., he has hut $6,000 in- surance. Messrs. Wright, Menno & Bird, the lessees, lose in the aggregate, at least $15,000, with no insurance. They had made extensive repairs upon the building, and their individual property connected with tho oa- tablishment was also very valuable. Their lease of tho premises was for ten years, commencing the Ist July last. The actors and actresses generally sustained losses in their wardrobos, &c., and also the members of the orchestra, in their instruments and music.

Its t was $28,000, and the cost of the entire establishmont, including the land and all property connected with it, is estimated at about $70,000. The theatre was ofe of the largest and best Piet ned inthe country. The stage was unrivalled for i xe and capacity to exhibit plays with superior = ca ect. The performance of ‘The School for Scandal,” last evening, was witnessed by an audience of full 2,600 people, and went off with much éclat. We learn that Mr. Brewer, of the firm of Sayles, Meriam & Brewer, on hearing of the loss of the les- sees of the National Theatre, offered them, in the most liberal manner, the use of the Boston Theatre. To the objection that the recent purchasers would not. have possession of the building for ten days, he said that they would take it burned or unburned. Although the late proprietors have a technical right in the building, we hope that since they have thus been absolved from all risk, they will co-operate with Mr. Brewer in extending a helping hand to the unfortunate lessees of the National, who have been so suddenly stripped of their property. The performances at the Boston Theatre to-night will be the snme as those advertised to take place at the National; Mrs. Forrest and Mr. Vandenhoff appearing in a beautiful and popular play. It is probable that proffers of a complimentary bonefit to the managers of the National will be made by mem- bers of the profession, and we have no doubt. that the theatrical public will be prompt to help on the cause.

Thore are, I have no doubt, a few up town people with more money than braius who would glory in estab exclusive and mistocratic state of things, including all the vices, foibles, and miseries of London or Pari fashionablo life; but it is not for them I would labor toestablish a grand national opera, but. for ti people at large, who bee the taste and int gence to appreciate the good and beautiful, andthe good to object to exorbitant prices and Inte hours, simply be ich things may be consile ed aristocratic and hionable.

If the lyric “drama is to take its stand in this country, and be remuneratively successful, it must be supported by talent of the highest order—fresh, vigorous talent —not tulent that has heen blaséd and worn out ere, and which is only brought here when no market for it in Europe—but talent, there which has been proved elsewhere, if you will, and is transported to the American soil (so congenial all its blooming freshness. , Now, tor such you must pay, and for many of the Huropoan celebrities you would have to pay such sums az no existing house could possibly afford. If you don't pay them they won’t come, because the high priced opera houses of London, Paris, and other European cities can afford to, and do pay them hundsomely— hence you are driven to the alternative of raising your prices to the European standard, and making the opera an exclusive amusement, or of erecting a building capacious enough to hold a paying au- dience, at a reasonable and popular price. Cram any theatre in New York from fioor to ceiling, at fifty cents, and the receipts would not pay the en- gagements of Grisi, Mario, and Lablache, to say nothing of other artistes, band, chorus, &e. The curtain of the Queen’s Opera, in London, where the engagements forthe ballet are heavy, is never raised under 2 nightly cost of five thousand dollars, and that of the Royal Italian will amount to four thousand, for I ‘know the salaries and expenses at both houses. Then recollect the admission to the parquette is two dollars, the orchestra stalls five, and in the six circles of private boxes—each box lets (for a sengon of forty-seven nights only,) at privos varying according to the location, from seven hun- dyed and fifty, to fifteen hundred dollars—and yet with all the éclat of the exhibition, London full of strangers, and crowded houses—Lumley—the Jm- vessavio of her Majesty's Theatre, scarcely cleared his expenses, and the Royal Italian (managed by a « nonwealth of leading artistes) after paying the alaries of subordinates, and_ other expenses, left Je more than half salaries for the principals, and still it paid then better than any engagement which, under existing circumstances, you could offer them here. i 1 do not mean to say New York requires such a mammoth establishment as either of the London oyeras, but the growing musical tastes of the country demands, and ultimately will havea corps of principal artistes of equal talent and celebrity— a lyric establishment—entailing a nightly expense of two thousand dollars.

The exceedingly condition of Broadway below the Park, jammed as it ia daily with scores of half empty omnibuses, is ettracting public attention, and various plane aro proposed for the relief of tho great thoroughfare. This stato of thinge is the offect of the growth of Upper Now York, and has taken place under a state of things adverse to a full developement of the capacities of the upper wards, Under these adverse ciroum- stances, the crowded state of Brondway has become unbeaiable. mstance, it will become more so; under more fuyorable ciroum- » Tnany event a change of the existing wrrangementa must be made. Undor achango of system, the adverse circumstances that have held in check the growth of upper Now York, and the inconveniences that now annoy our citizons may both be removed. New York has guinod in population since 1835, at a rate that doubles once in seventeen yoara, while Brook)yn has doubled every eight years, and Wit- liamsburg every five years. While the population of New York hasbeen doubling once, that of Brook- lyn has quadrupled, and Willinmsbarg hus increased tentold. The business of lower New York, the busi- ness which made all this increase of tho three citi has fed the parasites, Brooklyn and Williamsbu while Now York's legitimate olf, the uppor portion of this island, has remained comparatively unfod by the abundance of that nutriment her business fur- nished. ‘Chis is owing to the ovil policy that de- layed the epening of streets onthe uppor portion of the island, and has kept back the opening of grout roules of travel, and the establishment of now means of transit. Ai length, however, thero are indications that wo may expect to the lagging New York overtake Brooklyn and Williamsburg in the rate of growth. Por this change we shall he indebted to the opefiing \ improvement of new streets, and to the enter- that consiructs ample means and ways of tran- uncomfortable Undor these adverse ei stances immensely more sit from the lower to the upper portion of the city. The st effective ofthose means of transit will be railroads that shall afford lower New York or transit, at least equal to those afforded hy. the ferries to Brooklyn and Williamsburg—fa- cilities for the speedy ard commodious transit of tens of thousands per day to and from the groat ox- tremities of the metropolis; and witha result similar tothe Brooklyn ferries, in reduction of fares and am- ple dividends. A well organized system of railroads through the great avenues, running north andsouth, except Broadway, would readily be introducod, private enterprise were allowed to jump in unison with the growing wants of the citiz Ono great avenue, forthe relief of Broadway, might be estab- lished by opening through Church ‘street to Trinit place, widening the latter, and extending it through: to the Ba This measure, with the extension the route ~ the Battery, would do more ieve Broadway than any one act that could be done consistext with the genoral accommo- dation of our citizens. A transfer of the growth from Brooklyn and Wil- liamsburg to New York, would plainly increase the taxnble property of this city immensely, and the annual revenue of the city proportionsbly. The wisdom ofthat administration of our city govern- ment which chartered the Sixth and Eighth avenue railoads, so far as that eet goes, will be fully ac- knowledged in time. Had that growth beon direct- ed to the upper part of this island fifteen years ago, it is certain the taxable property of New York would now have beon fifty millions ‘moro than it ia. It isnot designed to object to the growth of Brooklyn and Williamsburg, but surely the quadru- ye and tenfold growth over the rate of increase of ‘ew York proper is not legitimate, and the property hoiders of New York, who have brought the Croton to our doors, who light eal maintain its police, and pay for the beneticial public institutions of New York, that New York, whose business it is that has built up the extensions of Brooklyn and Williams- burg, these property holders are entitled to a pro- portion of that growth equal with that of Brooklyn and Williamsburg. This proportion would have been fairly maintained had a judicious policy beem earlier practised. The proporty holders of New York may congratulate themselves that the mea- sures and railroad charters above named furnish to- keus of the recourse to such wiser policy. But public convenience demands the extension of their rail by some route to the Battery. When we look at the increased facilities for foed- ing the growth of New York in the opening of the Erie, Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven railroads, and the organization of our fleets of steamships, At- lantie and Pacific, we may anticipate a rate of in- crense greater than that of the past. Supposing it takes New York seventeen years to double again, which itis not likely to do, what an amount of space wil! be covered somewhere by the added popu- lation of half a million! ‘The openiag of proper means of transit will locate most of it on the upper part of this island. Such asystem ashas heretofore Viel would throw the greater portion across the ‘ast river. Muchas the omnibus lines have done, they, as the: ist, would be entircly inadequate to do « ng that the growth of the city will re- if increased beyond their existing force, quire ; and they will, under present regulations, rendor the great thoroughfare useless for the business purposes of our citizens. New regulations of the omnibua lines, and the opening of railroads through great avenues, always excepting Broadway, from the up, Will be required te meet the demands of the city's growth, if that growth is pormiited to take its legitimate direction. It, is folly to suppose that the interests of the city railroads and the om- nibus lines are at variance. “There will be business enough for all in main trunk lines and branches, and cross city lines; and not only the entire amount of enpital now invested in omnibus lines, but quadru- Pe that amount will be profitably invested in omni- us and city railroad lines, before the expiration of ten years from this date. The opening of streets in the upper wards, and the establishment of ample accommodations, rail and ombibus, for transit to and fro, will generate the business for their mutual occupation and employment. People doing business in lower New York, need not necessarily be forced to travel across the East river, where the immensity of travel has reduced the forriage from six cents to one. On the contrary, people may be led to ascend- ing the island with results to the omnibus and rail- roar lines, similar to those results that have re- duced the ferriage fare to one cent, while the divi- dends yielded, by the reduced rate, are large enough a4 the demands of a legitimate busi- noss appetite. Indeed, it is impossible now to esti- mate the immense throng of travel that will pass up and down th d under the favorable cir- cumstances spoken of above, nor to calenlate the rate of fare at which such travel will be made. Ita cheapness will, doubtless, be end Sear ninisteyed to in time, by an application of steam or galvanic power in omy form of engine free from the objections attaching to the use of existing on- ginos. will, in time, lond ite aid to trans- porting th ueag man, or the Ia aily from. bist his shop or office, from ward te wan ls bins fou eliy to city
