J., Jan. 3, 1868, Considerable excitement was caused this morning in tho Park Stroet Presbyterian church. Soon after the services had commenced, an old gentleman was observed to be ginking in his pew. The members rushed to his assistance, but he had died from disease of the heart. His name was Joseph H.

THE OPEKA—FAREWELL TO MR. THALDERG—TOR CITY THEATRES—MH. BROUGHAM'S BURLESQUE, BTC., BTC. During the past week five performances were given at the Academy of Music. On Monday, the ‘‘Puritani;"’ Wednes- day, “Fidelio,” Friday, (cheap night), Lucrezia Borgia;” ‘Saturday morning, ‘‘Lucia;” Saturday evening, concertand oratorio, for the farewell festival to Mr. Thalberg. We “bave already given some account of each of these ocoa- sions. The Thalberg festival was the grandest affair of the season, and was a demonstration well deserved. Mr. ‘Thalberg gave us the best concerts we have ever had here, and spared no money nor pains to sur- round himself with the very best artists. Af- ter such concerts as those given by Mr. Thalberg Ro single artist will ever succeed here, no matier how great a name may be borne upon the announcements, It is to Mr. Thalberg chiefly that we owe the forty-four per- formances of Italian Opera which have been given at the Academy of Music since September last, a season unpre- cedented for the brilliant and varied entertainments that ‘dave been given tothe public. Mr. Thalberg’s position with regard to the Opera was simply this:—He gave to the director, Mr. Uliman, the weight of his namo in Europe, and here he might have lost something by tho season, but refused to have any present or prospective share in the profits. These facts wore pretty well known to the public, and the demonstration of Saturday wag one of the most Mattering ever given to any artistanywhero in the world. Every clique of society—artistic, literary, fashionable and unfashionabie—was represented, and the constellation of female beauty was dazzling, quite re- affirming the fact (if any such process were necessary) that American women aro the handsomest in the world. The performance was too lengthy to admit of a detailed criticism. The vocal gem of the evening, however, created such an immense sensation that it deserves particular montion. It was Mr, Formes’ singing of the little ballad, “The Wandorer,”’ of Schubert. It was given with so much delicacy, fre and expression as to move the unanimous piandite of the heuse. Hven the members of the Italian minority, who haye been disposed to elevate their noses at the great basso, were conquered, As there were a sufficient number of applications for tickets after all the places had been sold to fill the house again, the affair is to be repeated this evening, with “La Traviata” in the afternooa, in which Madame de la Grange ‘appears. In the evening the same concert programme, with Mozart's Requieum, with all the artists, the grand or- chostra under Mr. Anschutz, and the excellent chorus of the Liederkranz, conducted by Mr, Pauer, Mr. Thalberg leaves town for the South on Tuesday next, giving concerts this week at Richmond and Wash- ington. From thence he goes to the other South- orn cities as far as New Orleans, and afterwards to Cuba and South America. Weare quite sure that Mr. ‘Thalberg will be received more warmly, if pomsible, in the South than in the North and West. Mr. Eisfeld gave his first soirée of the season at Dod- worth’s Rooms last week. Mme. Graever-Johnson, ;who {« quietly making for herself «solid reputation, assisted the quartette party and won many new admirers. Agrand concert in aid of the friends of the Italian Bene- -volont Society will be given at Niblo’s Saloon on Tuesday. ‘The programme, which is very good, is given in another column. Some of the best artists in the city will sing on this occasion. The dramatic event of the week was the production at Burton's theatre of Mr. Brougham’s new burlesque ‘Colum- bus.’ Tt bas bad a great and merited success, and has in it the elements of lasting popularity, The acting is all very good; that of Messrs. Brougham and Mark Smith par- ticularly so. The final tableau is very prettliy arranged, Dut could be seen to more advantage if the actors were traneparent, or better still if they would not stand between Mand the eudience. Mr Brougham had a fine benefit on ‘Thursday, when Mr. Walcott Appeared for the first time at this house, and was very warmly received by the au- dience. Mr. Charles Mathews bas played every night dar- ing tho week. He appears this evening in his capital piece doecasion, “The Great Gun Trick,” and with Burton and Brougham in ‘You're Another.” The new burlesque “Columbus” will be given for the fifth time. At the Broadway theatre the Van Amburgh troupe com- ‘mence this evening their fourth week. So far the exhibi- tion bas been in every way successful, and it seems very probable that (¢ will result in the permanent establish- ment here of an amphitheatre after the London and Paris fashion. The bilis for this evening abnounce some now and taking features. At Laura Keene's theatre we have 10 nolyities to note. ‘The pantomime, ‘Harlequin Bluebeard,’ seems to please 4ho holiday folks, and still keeps its place in the bills. will be played this evening, with (for whe first time), Taylor's new comedy, “An Unequal Match,” of which ‘we have published some account. Miss Keene plays in the comedy, afer an absence from the boards of two ‘weeks. Mr Jordan and Mr. Jefferson are likewise in the caat. At Niblo’s Garden this evening the new pantomime, * The Golden Fgg;’ Mlle Zanfretta on the tight rope, and other entertainmenta—making a very good bill. At Wallack’s theatre, Mr. T. B. Johnston, who has al ‘mont the only local character in “The Poor of Now ‘York'—and who plays ft admirably—has his benefit, ‘which should be ® good one, The above named drama will be performed. At the Bowery theatre this evening a combined eques tian and dramatic entertainment will be given. The tional drama of “ Putaam"’ is mnounced, with an on- NEW YORK HER tertainment in the arena, and the drama of “ The Scourge of the Ocean’? At Barnum’s Museum the spectacle, “ Valentine and Orson,” written by Mr. W. Cowell, of the Boston theatre, has been highly successful, and will be played on every evening during the week. . At Wood’s Minstrels to-night Holland and George Christy appear in ‘ New Year’s Calls,"” with other good things. The Buckleys take possession of Wood's old Hall, 444 Broadway, while the Bryants still hang out their banner at No. 472. Kane’s Arctic Voyage Panorama is still on exhibition at Empire Hall. ‘TueaTRiCAL MovemeNrs—Anne Blake, on dit, will bo produced at Wallack’s on next Saturday, for Mrs. Toey’s beneflt. Mr. Stuart's new theatre at Washington was announced to open on Satur- day (26) with Bourcicault in “Used Up,” and Mise Polly Marshall in “ Oatching a Governor.” The Ronzani ballet troupe are at Baltimore, drawing crowded houses. Mr Burton announces a new comody and a yow farce. Mr, John Dyott had a bumper benefit on Monday even- ing, Dec. 21, at the Clurloston (S.C.) theatre, when ho performed Othello there for the first time, and reocived the marked approbation of the whole house. He also played Looney McTwoltor in the “ Review. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams finished a long and very successful engagement at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, on the 12th December. They were-afterwards to play in’ Cork and Belfast. Mr. Wiliams middo the following re- marks on being called before the curtain on his last night in Dubiin:— : Ladies and Gentlemen—I haye been an setor, man and bog, for of rwatve soars, and have been honored by nage ss ad before the curtain; but never in the whole amy cal career have I responded to a call with more pleasure than I do tonight. (Loud cheers.) And now that I am before you, J scarcely know what to say, or how to express myself. To thank you in terms com- mensurate with your fostering kindness and continued patronage would require a new combination of language. 0 say we feel thankful would be to repeat that whicl T have often said before; but could you read our hearts you would find the word “ gratitude ’’ go indelibly stamped there that years never can obliterate it. (Cheers.) To- uight ia the forty-first and jast but one of our engagement ~-an engagement which, Iam most pleased to say, bas been attended with profit to the management and artists, and has had no Se in the annals of theatricals in Dublin. (Great cheering.) But, ladies and gentlemen, whatever ability we it possess would have been as light as air if not cherished by your smiles and generous support. Here, in Dublin, the metropolitan city of Ireland, I have been recognized ag the representative of the Irish character—(Hear, hear)—where, I am sure any attempt to burlesque or caricature would be ignored by the entire press, and frowned down by the pubiic. I have endeavored to copy nature in delineations of the manners and customs of “Old Ireland," and your endorse- ment has proved that my efforts have not been in vain. (Joud cheers.) The Yankee Girl has shared the labor and applause in a line of characters that were, of neces- sity, strange to you; but as she has been received and re- cognised in her native land in her delincations with the same enthusiasm that I have been in mine, I flatter my- self that our efforts on both sides of the Atlantic have been alike acceptable.

His success has been already established at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, und [trust the same verdict will be accorded to him here. I am sure! need say no more than to simply announce that he is a stranger, and an ames him to receive a hearty welcome from an public. Superior Court—In Chambers. Before Hon. Judgo Pierrepoint. Jan. 2—This morning, the new elected Judge, Pierre- Point, tookfhis seat at chambers, and disposed of a number of questions. In the Matter of Edward N. Dickerson and Frederick E. Sickles vs. The New York and Liverpool United States Mail Steamship Company.—The motion in this cause was to strike out parts of the complaint. Messrs. James T. Brady and F. Byrne appeared for tho plaintiffs, and Mr. Cutting for the defendants.

Mr. Brady opposed the motion, and stated that whatever there was of “‘literary ability” or censure in the drawing of the complaint he would take it upon himself. The planet had undertaken to do this great feat gratuitously, the houor of American mechaniem, because the ves- sel, which bad cost them three times the sum of any other, lay idle at the wharf. Mr. Brady coutinued to argue that the plaintiffs had suffered in ‘fame and reputation,” and insisted that no portions of the complaint shoald be stricken out, Tulge Merrepoint, in the course of the afternoon, tocided the motion by striking out all in relation to the Novelty Works, &o., but allowed others which had been objected to to renmin in tie compiaint, when Important Trixokarn Exrevston.—Mr. F. A. Palmer, of Boston, the enterprising lessee of the Cape Cod and Island telegraph lines, has built, during the past month, about sixty miles of new and substantial lines, one on the south shore, through Hingham, Cobasset and Scituate, with the terminus at Hull, at which important point for marine be bas erected a substantial ant conven! building, adapted for an operating room, observatory, fc. For this connection Mr. P’aimer has obtained a new and pow erful glass for harbor observations, and also secnred the services of Mr.Joseph for many years the experienced and faithful managing on the old line at this sta- tion, Offices have also opened at Scituate and Co. hasset to which will shorffy be adced Hingham and North Cohasset. The completion € this line adds to the facilities heretofore e: to the Maurance shipping and gene- ral commercial interests of Boston to an extent the value of which cannot be over estimated. Palmer's other |. Offices will be opened at Rockport, Gloucester and Salem, and telegraph instruments will shortly be talking at all the important stations on this line. These two new lines, together with the Cod and Island lines, centre in Boston at the office of the American Telegraph Company, ‘and in thie city at the office of the same company, at the Telegraph Building, 21 Wall street.

The upward movement is { managed by a small clique of bull speculators, who are already overloaded with stocks and are desirous | of making a market for what they have, instead of buying more. A few days, at the best, will use up the inflation, and then we may look for lower points than have been known for weeks. The money mar- ket remains without material alteration. In the street capital is abundant and cheap. On call, with good securities, any amount of money can be ob- tained. Out of the street money is as scarce as ever, and it is full as difficult to make loans as at any time last year. The Secretary of the Treasury does not receive deposits for Treasury notes as ra- pidly as anticipated. The impression prevails in Washington that a combination exists among our On a comparative examination of the new and old reports of the new and the old direction of the Board of Directors of the Michigan Southern Railroad Com- pany we bave been surprised to find that the varia- tions between the respective reports present very little else than a mere difference in detail while in the course of the measures projected and carried out by the first administration there was exhibited a boldness and recklessness leading to consequences far beyond the tame and timid action of the pre- sent to sustain. The old contracted for the pur- chase, and undertook the completion, of almost every road which seemed destined to run counter to their anticipated monopoly, and in so doing have in curred debts and resposibilities beyond their ability to meet; and in thus failing to comply with their contracts, they not only lose all prospective advan- tage of those incomplete roads, but have subjected themselves to very heavy damages, together with the entire loss and control of those connections. In the case of the Goshen line, the Jacksoa branch and the Detroit and Toledo road—all as yet unfinished, not- withstanding they have already cost $5,350,000—we have a specimen of irredeemable sacrifice from the for- feiture of contract, whereby the Michigan Southern willnot only lose all they have advanced, but the bonds they hold from those companies wilt of consequence be repudiated from a non-compliance. with the terms of amalgamation. In 1866 the Michigan Southern contracted to aid in the construction of s road from Toledo to Detroit via Monroe, not only agreeing with the company chartered for the purpose to ad- vance the means of construction, but gave a guaran- tee on a permanent lease of eight per cent annual | dividends. The time of completion having gone by, while the guaranteed dividends are a debt due by the Southern, the whole road and outlay enure by reversion to the original corporators, free and inde- pendent. “It is necessary,” says the report ef May, 1867, “that the debt thus incurred for con- struction be provided for;” yet in the face of this necessity the new board has not seen fit to make any arrangements to come to the rescue. ‘The most painful part of the condition of the affairs of the Michigan Southern Company is the sad fact that the receipts of their whole line of connections are not adequate to discharge the ordinary expenses, subjecting the road to serious depreciation and cer- tain bankruptcy of the company from the non-pay- ment of interest. It is not worth while to gointo an estimate of the value of the common stock—for that has already gone beyond the power of appreciation— and, without exaggeration, this may also be said of the guaranteed $3,000,000 capital repre- sented by 30,000 shares, inasmuch as the contract to pay 8 per cent on the capital of the Toledo and Detroit Company has the precedence, Tn the face of all these difficulties, with bankruptcy distinctly marked as the final prospective issne, the financial projects of the Board are entirely inefficient, and may be said to be ridiculously incompetent. To meet the contract engagements everywhero the floating debt, no provision has been made; while, to redeem from forfeiture a large amount of stock and some of their chattel property, the sum of $300,- 000 has been raised by an improvident issue of $1,000,000 in bonds bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent. In this we have the sum and sub- stance of the financiering of the present board of re- volutionary managers, whose interest in the capital stock of the company has not been much increased since they have had an opportunity to see behind the curtains.

The difficulty originated at Washington, and it must be removed before any amount of money can be raised. The trouble, in the first place, is in the rate of in- terest, and in the second place in the denomination of notes. The rate of interest is neither one thing nor another. It is not high enough fer investment, and not low enough for the general circulation of the notes. We suggested one-sixth of one per cent in- terest, and emall denominations of notes. It must be either that or a rate high enough to attract capital for investment.

This is very good so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. We have in bat a few instances the amount of liabilities given, and we have but a por- tion of the suspensions enumerated. We have no doubt the failures ean be counted by hundreds, and that the aggregate liabilities will sum up hundreds of millions of dollars. While the Bank of England was sustaining the great private banking houses of Lon- don, houses in other parts of the United Kindom and on the Continent were going down by the dozens The Bank of England undoubtedly, under the cir- cumstances, pursaed the wisest policy, in exercising’ its powerful influence to allay the panic; but it isa qnestion if the internal affairs of the houses propped by its assistance, is not snch as to ultimately result in their collapse and dissolution. There can be no doubt that the condition of commercial houses throughout Europe has for a long time been of the most rotten deseription. For years they have been doing business upon a false basis, and for years they been lingering along, liable to collapse at any mo ment. The machinery of trade throughout Fa- rope workéd well and smoothly enough until some difficulty occurred in our financial affairs, which for the moment shut down on remittances. ‘The,temporary suspension on this side waa enough, for it arrested for the moment the motive power, and the working of the intricate ramifications of | credit at once stopped. It is nonsense to attribute the cause of the financial revulsion which has spread over the entire commercial world to the enormous speculative movements alone of our people, for it had in reality very little to do with it. The entire system of credits throughout Emrope and America bad become so inflated, so enormously expanded, that a collapse was the inevitable resnit. The only remedy is in liquidation. Legislation is powerless, ‘The only true way is to let things alone. We do not want any tinkering of Gnancial and commercial systems.

Tho Hoard of Dircotors have been investigating ali the aflairs of the company, with a view to making a roport. After the organization of the company at this plice, in April last, some upsettied claims ened against the com- pany, and the Executive Commities at New York, who knew more of these olaims than the directory here, wore eptrusted with the duty of settling them. Rumors of fraud in these settlements, and of the fraudulent issue of stock, and charges that the Executive Committee in New York were issuing stock in large quantities ‘atone dollar a share cn which five do'lars a share was acknowledged to have | cluding old mera at $15 | about 76 bbis., including country prime at $575, and been paid, were widely circulated, greatly to the injury of the operations and prospects of the company. In order to satisfy the stockholders that such charges were untrue the Executive Committee demanded an investigation of those rumors, when after a full investigation of a commit- tee, there was an unanimous concurrence of opinion that no frauds had been committed, and that no stocks had been sold and iseued either by the Executive Committeo in New York or the company at New Orleans under par, and their report was concurred in by the Board of Direct ors. It is not‘deemed necessary at this time to present a full and detailed account of everything connected with the transactions of the company. All these particulars will be laid before the stockholders in the yearly report which will be submitted to them in due time. The company is now believed to be in a better condition than it was at its soa in New Orleana in April last. it will be sufficient to advert to the present actual posi- tion of the company and its immediate prospecta with reference to the amount of money at the credit of ‘capital stock” for stock issued as per statement of the Presi- dent, April, 1857. | presaing, to discharge accruing interests and pay off ES amount then represented was..........$2,474,790 50 this may justly be added interest paid in stock on the above amount...

About twelve miles are completed, leaving only eight more to be finished; and as the cight miles are graded, and all the iron ae or two locomotives, construction cars, irs, spikes, and everything necessary to complete that distance, the Board have every ‘confidence that the pe ogy of the charter will be complied with. Five mil in addition to the twenty above mentioned, are already graded, and all the iron and other matorial neces- ary to lay the track ison the spot. As s00n as these ad- ditional five miles are com; the Rape en will re. the State of Texas. This cont been made for the prosecution of iat work to completion. In October last, when the commercial crisis swept over th» land, creating embarrassment and failures of some of the pater ord bouses in all parts of the Union, the company found it imposatble to raise means. either to pay their ox- isting limbilities or prosecute their work. With a view to saving the charter of the company, and to iaduce parties tc loan money to prosecute the work, at least to the extent of twenty miles, a deed of trust was executed by order of the directors. execution of this deed of trust bad the effect of inducing parties to come forward and furnish means, whereby the work was unimpeded in its progress, and the charter protected. Arrangements have been made by which all the debts embraced in the deed of trust are provided for, and by which the deed of trust will be cancelled. The Executive Committee of New York having re- quested that said committee should be abolished, the re- quest has been granted, and in future all contracts and en- ments must be made here, subject to the action of the rd of Directors, The transfer office is re-opened in New York, and R. M. Stratton is appointed Assistant Secretary, and is authorized to sign certificates with Edwin Port, the Vice Prosident of the company. Stock may be ty ‘red on the books of the company, either at the transfer office in New York or at the office in New Orleans, and new certificates obtained for old oues surrendered. ‘Interest certificates can in all cases be inened at either office, but po holder of certificate of stock can receive bis interest without the presentation of the certifieate of stock on which said interest has ac erued. A financial system has also been adopted by the company, by which it is believed its bonds, secured upon its lands sud property, will take the highest rank among good securities, either at home or abroad, so aa to enable the company to progress without selling more stock than was ordered to be sold last spring. About $270,000 of that amount stil! remains unsold, and it is not contemplated to issue auy other stock. In conclusion, it is proper to state that an instalment of fifty cents a share will fall dne on the first Monday of January vext on all stock on which $8 60 a share has been All stock on which instalments aro not will be liable to sale under the 6th section of the charter, a copy of which annexed — Z Sec. 6. The shares may be dispored of, and book opened for subscriptions thereto in such manmer and on such termes as said commissioners shall determine will be for the beet interest of said company; and any agreement in writig, by which any person shall becotse £ vubscri- ber to the capital stock of aid com may be enforced pan him according to its terms; and if any subseriber ) fail to pay any amount due upeo shares subscribed by him, according to the terms of his subscription, the directors 7, sell at auction and transfer to the purchaser the shares of such delinquent; and if the ia of sale shall not be sufficient to pay the amount due on said sub- scription, with interest and charges, such delinquent shall = liable to the company for the deficiency; and if Proceeds shail exceed the amount #0 due, with interest, - charges, said delinquent shall Ye entitled to the sur. plus. Tnstalmenta may be paid oither at the office in New Or- leans or at the transfer office in New York, at the pleasure of the holder of scrip stock.
