ARRIVAL OF THE PARTY AT INDIANAPOLIS, IMPORTANT SPEECH OF MQ. LINCOLN. InptANarous, Feb. 11, 1961. At Danville station, twelve miles from the Indiana ‘State line, another large crowd awaited the arrival of the ‘special train. Mr. Liucoln again stepped out, and addressing Limself ‘to the enthusiastic gathering, remarked, that if he had any blessings to dispense, he would certainly disponse the largest and roundest to his good old friends of Ver- million county. ‘The train reached the State line at half past twelve o’clock. Thirty-four gung were fired as the train moved up. A Committee of the Indiana Legislature was in wait ing to welcome the President elect to their State. General Steele, the chairman, made a short reception speech, to which Mr. Lincoln replied:— Geriemey or INDIANA—I am happy to meet you on this ‘occasion, and enter aguin the State of my early life, and almost of my nativity. [am under many obligations to -you for your kind reception, and to Indiana for the aid rendered the cause which I think an emiaently just one. Again I thank you for your warm and hearty weicome. Upon the conclusion of the remarks, the whole party proceeded to partake of a miserable dinner, for which they were charged one dollar per head, twice the amount charged to common travellers. Colonel Sumner unexpectedly joined the cortege at this point at 11:05. Tho train was again in motion, and sped rapidly past numerous towns and villages, the whole population of which had turned out to see it pass. Their hearty cheers und frantic cries of “stop,” “Stop,” however, availed them nothing. The junction of the Wabash Valley and Lafayette and Indianapolis roads was made at 2:30R.M. Thirty-four more guns saluted the train. At least five thousand peo- ple had congregated to do honor to the President. A gpeech was once more vehemently called for, in reply to which Mr. Lincoln again expressed his gratification at the kindaoess shown him. A large number of prominent Indiana politicians came aboard here, and surrounded the President elect, who now seemed to have gotten entirely over his parting sad- ‘ness, and entertained those about him in his usual humor- ous manner. His hilarity soon extended over the entire company, and wit and laughter became the general order of the hour. A heartier ovation than that rendered Lim all the way to Indianapolis was never received by any public man. The road was literally lined with male and female humanity. At every station eager hundreds and ‘thousands raised such an irresistible clamor fora sight at Old Abe as to render it impossible for him to leave their wishes ungratified. He entertained listeners at various points with short speeches, slightly flavored with some of his inexhaustible Btock of anecdote. At Lebanon station, while being led out to bow toa congregation of ladies, he remarked that he was always glad to demonstrate how well he understood the poetry of motion. At Thornwan he said that he did not feel very much like speaking, but would tell them a story, provided they would not let it go abroad, as it might not be thought compatible with tho dignity of his station Hie then went on with the story, but had hardly got un- der way when the train commenced moving cif, This ‘unexpected interruption elicited peals of laughter from his audience, some of whom cried out, ‘We surely will not tell the story now.’’ The crowd at the next station, however, got the beneiit of the whole of the story. While thus general good feeling and humor was pro- diced by these frequent humorous expressions of the President, the train steamed rapidly towards this city. Shortly before five P. M. the suburbs appeared in sight, and a further run of a few minutes brought the train to the foot of the principal street, where a stoppage was made, amidst no less than twenty thousand people, and the reception ceremonies entered upon. ‘The firing of thirty-four guns announced the approach- ing train bearing the President elect and party. The President was received and welcomed by Governor Mor- ton, and escorted to a carriage with four white horses, when a procession was formed into a pageant seldom, if ever, witnessed here. The procession was composed of poth houses of the Legislature, the public officers, the municipal authorities, military and firemen. Great en. thusiasm was manifested along the line of march. The President stood in his carriage acknowledging the wel- come of the surrounding thousands. THE ARRIVAL AT INDIANAPOLIS. The following speech, delivered by the President elect, ‘fat 5:50 P. M., from the balcony of the Bates House, to an assemblage of at loast over twenty thousand people, is of the greatest significance, although it deals more in inti- mations than in definite assertions. The fact that it was carefully prepared in Springfleld, and brought here in manuscript, fully shows the meaning the Presidential ‘speaker intended to give it. He said:— IMPORTANT SVRECH OF MR. TANCOLN, Froiow Crmzens or THe State or Iypiawa—I am here to thank you much for this magnificent welcome, and still mire for the very generous support given by your State to that politieal cause which I think is the true and just cause of the whole country and the whole world. Solo- mon says, “There isa time to keep silence;” and when men wrangle by the mouth with no certainty that they moan the same thing while using the same word, it perhaps were as well if they would keep silence. The ‘words “ coercion’? and “ invasion’? are much used in these days, and often with some temper and hot blood. Let us make sure, if we can, that we do not misunder- ptand the meaning of those who use them. Let us get ‘the exact definitions of these words, not from diction. aries, but from the men themselves, who certainly de- Precate the things they would represent by the use of the words. What, then, is ‘coercion?’ What is “ inva- gion?’ Would the marching of an army into South Ca- rolina, without the consent of her people, and with hostile intent towards them, be invasion? I certainly think it would be ‘coercion’ also if the South Caroli- nians were forced to submit. Mut if the United States Bhould merely hold and retake its own forts and other prop- erty, and collect the duties on foreign importations, or even avithhold the mails from places where they were habitually wiolated, would any or all these things be ‘invasion’’ or ‘‘co- ercion?”’ Do our professed lovers of the Union, but who spitefully resolve that they will resist coercion and invasion, understand that such things as these on the part of the Gnited States would be coercion or invasion of a State? If #0, their idea of means to preserve the ob- Ject of their great affection would seem to be exceedingly thin and airy, If sick, tho littic pills of the homoopathist would be much too large for it to swallow, In their view the Union, as a family relation, woald seem to be ‘no regular marriage, but rather a sort of ‘free love’ ar- rangement, to be maintained on passional attraction. By the way, in what consists the special sacredness of a State? Tspesk not of the position assigned to a State in the Union by the constitution, for that by the bond we all recognize. That position, however, a State cannot carry out of the Union with it. I speak of that assumed pri- mary right of a State to rule all which is less than itself, and to ruin all which is larger than iteelf. If a State and A county, in a given caso, should be equal in extent of territory and equal in number of inhabitanta, in what, as ‘a matter of principle, is the State bettor than the county? Would an exchange of names be an exchange \y right? Upon principle, on what rightful iple, may @ State, being no more than Attieth part of the nation ia soil and population, break up the uation and then coerce a proportionably larger sub-division of itself in the most arbitrary way ? What mysterious right to play tyrant is conferred on a district of country with its people by merely calling it a State? Fellow citizens, I am not asserting anything. I am merely asking questions for you to consider. And now allow me to bid you farewell. The outside display at this point in honor of the Presi- dent elect was respectable, but the in door arrangementa for his comfort and that of his party were sadly del- cient. The Bates House is like a beehive, and standing room can hardly be got anywhere, Ouly five rooms were pro- vided for the Presidential cortege, and they have to sub- mit to doubling up and sleeping three and four in one apartment. So little attention was paid in the supper room to the President elect that he was obliged to wait nearly half an hour for his slender share of the repast. The experience of the President elect on this first day of his journey has doubtlessly eonvinced him that the trip to Washington will not prove a path of roses, Until this point was reached everything went well,and he escaped with comparatively little bodily annoyance, but since the moment of his arrival here he has hardly had a minute of rest. No precaut'ons having been taken to protect him from insolent and rough curiosity; he was almost overwhelmed by merciless throngs before he reached his hotel. He for a long while found it impossible to gain an entrance into it, 80 solidly were the stairways blocked up by an immoyable humanity, and he only got in by wedging bimself through in a determined manner. All the evening the vestibule and parlors and stair- ways were crammed so much by outsiders as to ob- struct altogether the movements of the guests. No- thing else promising’ to satisfy the crowd, an im- Promptu reception was opened in the main parlor at seven o'clock. The members of the Legisla- ture were first presented, then the committees of escort from Cincinnati and Columbus, and at last a shake of the President's hand was granted to all that desired to take it. No less than three thousand ladies and gentlemen filed past their Presidential victim. The reception continued unti! nine o’clock, when the Pre- Sident’s weariness induced him to retire from the publis gaze, although the rush continued unabated, Bob was almost as much annoyed as his father by the persistency with which the curious pointed out and loudly gave vent to their expressions respecting the Prince of Rails. The schemes of office seekers hav2 thus far been alto- gether foiled by the monopoly of the attractions of the President by the people at large. THE ROUTE TO NEW YORK.

MR. LINCOLN TO VISIT TRENTON, N. J. ‘Trexton, Feb. 11, 1961. The President elect has accepted the invitation of the Legislature to visit Trenton. The Governor communi- cated the fact to the Legislature today. The Senate ap- pointed Messrs. Took, Wescott and Brown a committee to make arrangements for his reception, and the House will also appoint a committee. Mr. Lincoln is expected to arrive here on Wednesday of next week. OPERATIC AND THEATRICAL. The New Opera at the Academy of Mu- sic—Mr. Booth as Shylock. ACADEMY OF MUSIC—‘‘ UN BALLO IN MASCHERA.”’ The announcement of an entirely new opera by the most eminent composer of the day attracted, as might have been readily predicted, a crowded, and what is termed “brilliant and fashionable, audience” last night. All New York—the high and the low, the upper and mid- dle strata of metropolitan society—appeared in grand ar- ray: pretty women, budding maidens and buxom ma- trons, antique dowagers, venerable spinsters, grave judges, heavy merchants and ponderous bankers. Young America, pervading the lobbies and doing the killing in private boxes; snufly professors, wild looking pianists, inchoate prime donne, magnificent artists without engage- mente, sapient critics and Ulage dilletanti were all mixed up in one grand olla podrida, talking in as many tongues as the celebrated artificers of Babel, and representing as many cliques and shades of opinion—political, artistic and social—as there are separate sovereignties on the continent of Europe. We have alluded to Verdi as the most eminent com- poser of the day, and if any proof of his right to that title were needed, it could be found in the score of the “Ballo in Maschera.”’ As in ‘Ernani,”’ the “Trovatore’” and the “Traviata,’’ the composer of this work deals with the grand passions—love, jealousy and revenge—with a powerful spice of diablerie and treason to add to the in” tensity of the play. We have already made our readers acquainted with the incidents of the libretto. The plot is substantially the same as that of “Gustavus III.,”’ the music of which opera was written by Auber to the words of Seribe. From the beginning to the end of the play we find the tenor and soprano struggling to repress a guilty passion, and the climax is the assassination of the former by the husband of the latter. Interwoven with the music demanded for the ilustration of the main plot we find a number of melodies of the brightest, gayest and liveliest character, and the careful manipulation which is visible throughout the score, the thoroughly legitimate means employed to produce the effects known as “‘sensational,’’ show that the composer had determined to invite the closest criti- cism, with the utmost confidence that the verdict would forever silence his enemics. We have in the ‘Ballo’ all the vigor, all the light and shade, all the fine color- ing, which distinguished the earlier works of the com. poser, with more finish, more sweetness, more origi- nality, less clap-trap, and infinitely less noise. The form of this opera is more elegant than those of its predeces- sors, its melodic phrases are more distinct, and we have none of that struggling for effects at the expense of taste which has hitherto marred the best of Verdi's operas. Dramatically considered, the work is vigorous; the action never ceases, and the contrasts seem to arise from na- tural causes, and the Jevelopement of the accompanying passion rather than contrived for mere stage effect. Connoisseurs in instrumental music have been both sur. prised and pleased with the elaborate prelude, which tells in a delicately shaded form the story of the opera, and leads up toa charming tenor romance, ‘‘La rivedra nell estasi.’’ The burthen of the song is, of course, the grand passion, love, and nothing could be sweeter than the melody of this morceau. The succeeding scena and cantabile, “Alla vita che t’ orrido,’”’ gives the baritone a fine opportunity. The next noticeable piece’ is the scena and ballata, ‘olta Ia terra fronte alle stelle,’ which is succeeded by a vigorous and ringing stretto, ending the scone. The brilliancy, gayety and vivacity of the music throughout this scene are something remarkable, and at the same time there is a serious under current, indicative of the impending catastrophe. We obtain in this scene the first view of the pleasantest role of the opera—that of the Page. The role hag fallen into the very best hands, and its brilliant music affords the happiest relief to the more sombre features of the opera. ‘The next scene brings all the personages in the drama (except the baritone) together in the abode of the as- trologer (contralto). Hither comes the agitated soprano, striving for some means whereby she may conquer her unlawful passion, the melancholy tenor and his merry Page, the conspirators (bassi, of course), and the omni- present chorus, The writing for contralto is not re markable, and there is very little of it. The invocation ie curious rather than interesting, and the succeeding soona, “K lui, ¢ Ini,” is only fair. We find, however, in this scene a fine terzetto, “Della citta all’ oocaso,"” for the soprano, contraltogad tenor, a delicious tenor solo, & finely written quintette for soprano, tenor, two bass! and Contralto, which loads up to the finale, which ia in the very best style of the composer. The second act opens with ‘& magnificent air, ‘“Madall’ arido stello divulga,” for the soprano, who endeavors to summon up her sinking courage for the ordeal through which she must pass. Succeeding is a de resistance, the duet (‘Teco io sto. Gran Dio’) Sp yts and soprano. ‘Theimuse of this act is all very dramatic, and the situations are of the “thrilling” order. The tender interview between the lovers is suddenly interrupted, their intrigue detected, the wife is covered with shame, the husband is almost stupified with amazement and indignation, while the conspirators are moved to merriment by the extraordi- nary occurrences which, for the moment, have defeated their plans. All these different feelings are illustrated m a grand finale quartette and chorus, which is as fluely and a8 distinctly colored as a historical painting from the pencil of a first class artist. The quartette—soprano, baritone and two bassi—is magnificent. ‘The third act opens with a stormy scene between the unfortunate contralto and the outraged baritone. Here we have @ melting aria for the soprano, followed b: tho baritone romance, “Eri tu che macchiavi quell’ ani- ma.’’ Many counoisseurs declare this romance, which is exquisitely delicate and profoundly ic, to be the gem, par excellence, of the opera. It is the wail of a breaking: she sad utterance of a man who, deceived by those he loved best, sees nothing worth living for. Scarcely less affecting is the tenor romance, ‘Ma se me forza perderti,’’ a most charming melody, taxing the power of the'singer to the utmost, but rewarding him nely in the event of succese. It was this song which roved too much for Mario, while the veteran coeageee Rossini, ‘was loud in his praises of the preceding solo for the baritone. The dace music now commences, with band behind the scenes, and we have a lively chorus, very fresh ‘and agreeable. The ball is at its height when the page gives us a Sathing: canzonet, “Saper vorreste’'—a string of musical pearls, thrown about in most lavish way. A duet for tenor and soprano, and a most vigorous and elaborate finale for two sopra- nos, tenor, baritone, two bassi and chorus, completes the finest work of the modern ire. The new opera made a profound impression upon an audience which is, perhaps, the most exacting and fasti- dious in the world. The artists, Madame Colson, Miss Hinkley, Miss Adelaide Phillips, Signori Brignoll, Ferri, Coletti and Nubreul, displayed, in the first place, the most thorough familiarity with’ their roles, and, in the second, a laudable ambition to excel in them. At the be- ginning of the first act we could detect that slight ner- ‘Vousness which is inseparable from the initial performance of a new and very important work, but this soon wore off. Miss Hinkley, who looked charmingly, and had in the music of the page a fine opportunity he the display of her most agreeable voice, received = well deserved encore for her brilliant gong in the first act. Madame Colgon was excellent in the second scene, and Brignoli’s delicious sveva created a furor. The succeeding quin- tette and the brilliant fixale fairly brought down the house, and the act closed with a storm of applause; all the artists were recalled and enthusiastically applauded. The second act wag received with even more favor than.the first. The duet (Colson and Brig- noi) was most admirably rendered and tumultuously encored; and the tezetto, though not so fully appre- ciated, was equally well sung. The chorus and ‘quartette (finale) of this act are the most effective pieces in tho opera, The honors here belong to Madame Colson, whose success in this opera quite overshadows her for- vl triumphs, numerous and brilliant as they have een. The prima donna was in her best voice, had an emi. nently good role and made the very best of it, musically and dramatically. In the grand duet with the tenor, Madame Colson was positively superb, and gave to the music a woalth of sympathetic expression which proved her to be qualified to hold a very high rank among the best lyric tragediennes of the day. In the third act, Madame Colson’e aria, Brignoli’s romance and Ferri’s scena were received with enthusiasm, and in the very brilliant canzonet Miss Hinkley was much ap- platided The artists all deserve a great deal of credit, and at come future period we intead to refer more parti- cularly to their individual performances. The new 0} received all the honors of a complete success. It wil repeated on Wednesday and Friday of this weck. (ay WINTER GARDEN—BOOTH AS SHYLOCK. Mr. Booth commenced the last week of his engagement at Winter Garden last night, ina Shaksperean character, which he essayed for the first time—Shylock, the Jew— and it is not too much to say that his rendition of it was a success. Mr. Booth never fails to develope the taleats of a true artist in whatever character he attempts; although in some parts demanding an exercise of physical power, which does not always accom- Jao genius, he may gometimes fall a little by yw one’s expectations. In Shylock, however, there nothing to complain of in this respect, and we are dis- posed to put it down as his best part. In look, and action, and reading alike he was admirable; in the calm passages distinct and forcible; in the pagsionate parts intense enough, without rant or straining—a most excel- Shylock. It was evident that Mr. Booth made a very decided impression on his audier jast night, which we may say was not only very large, but was composed of a very discriminating claas of the appro- ciators of Shakespear. {The ‘‘Merchant of Venice’’ will be repeated to night, and, we believe, to-morrow night; and we would suggest to those who have not yet seen Mr. Booth’s fine dramatie talents developed to the best ad- vantage, to witness his rendering of Shylock, by all means. NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Armi and Equipping the Militia—Ori- gin of the Bill—Weed on a Peace Mis- stom to Washingtem—The Astor and Metropolitan Hotels Engaged in an Irrepressible Conflict Over Lincoln— Post Office—Lobby, &c. Atnany, Feb. 11, 1961. The debate in the Assembly on the bill to arm the mili- tia, on Friday evening last, fatled to bring to light one single reason why it shouki pase. The friends of the measure kept harping upon the idea that they might want it, but not one of the number proved it to be neces- sary. The nearest that any one eame to it was that they bad pledged the President men and money to enforce the laws, and it was necessary for the State to be in readiness whenever called for. Toascertain the real object of the scheme it is necessary to go back to the origin of the Dill, In the first place, the Commissary General makes bis report earlier than usual, in which he repre- sents the militia of the State to be [in a deplorable condition, How, we ask, have they been brought to that condition? The report of the same officer two years ago was the very reverse, and the militia of the State has ever since beea under the control of the re- publicans; yet there is an enormous falling off in arms, &c. Now, what has been done with them? Were they sent to Kansas, under the auspices of the New England Emigrant Society, and passed off as Sharpe's rifles? or did the republican officials connive with Secretary Floyd and let him order a portion of them South in order to get up & breeze that would, in thoir opinion, strengthen the re- publican party? This game was played in regard to Kansas in 1856. During that campaign your corres- dent heard active republicans pray that there might Be war in Kansas. Their idea was that it would drive the je to the support of Fremont. But to return. The Peommtseary General's report being in, the Governor recommends an appropriation for that pur- pose. Along came General Sandford, of fuss and feather notoriety, and Colonel Pratt, from’ the Ulster @ounty Regimental district, another soldier wholly destitute of mili talent and ‘‘apiling’’ for a little notoriety. ‘Thee* brilliant military chiefs consulted the boy aids of the |. cvernor—several of them being so destitute of mili- tary knowledge that upon their arrival at Albany to assist in inaugurating the Governor they were obliged to take private lessons before they could draw the sword system- atically. These gentlemen are the individuals who con- cocted this $500,000 Lag end which it is said Weed pronounces a humbug. Having got the bill under way, it was left to the watchful care of the youthful Reed, of Morgan's stat, whose only knowledge of military tactics was obtained in the Wide Awake ranks last fall; and the invincible Gen. Jackson, also one of the aids, noted for his flourish of his kids, curly locks an! beauti- ful moustache. There aids were to be seen hovering about the Legisiative chamber whenever the bill was under con- sideration. Now, we ask, can it, after originating from that source, looked upon as a beneficial measure, or simply as scheme to enable a parcel of conceit-stricken officers to tickle their own vanity? The bill as at first introduced would allow the money to be used in almost any way they pleased; but strovger safeguards have been Placed around it, Weed left here on Saturday for Wasbit He ro- mained in your city until Sunday evening, and was then to take the evening train for the national capital, and ‘ises to remain there during this week, to do all that Feean to bring about a satisfactory compromise of the difficulty that is now arraying one section against the other. if is said that he has but little hope and expresses great fears as to the inauguration of Lincoln.

Weed is engineering in behalf of the Astor and Gov. Morgan for the Metropolitan; it ig said that the latter has likewise the influence of the ‘dritune philosophers to assist him. The controyersy has already got to such a pitch that it is now thought that neither of those hotels will have the honor, but that he will be trotted off to a private house, in order to avoid the ay \t snub of either of the hotels. Post Office lobby are buay at work oxtending their schemes, and now boast that they have or ae a ring in the lower louse containing twenty-three mem- bers. They are thus busy ing thig scheme and en- deavoring to force it upon the city, contrary to the wishes of fifteen out of the seventeen rej tatives of the city in the lower branch of the Logisiature. It is pow re- ported that Comptroller Haws is interested in the Nassan street site, and the price on the lower end of the City Hall Park at such figures as to make it beyond the reach of the Postmaster General, with the idea of forcing him to take the Middle Dutch church.

The movement is better late than never. The Legislative Committee was appointed to take charge of the President elect and exhibit him on his arrival to alt who are anxious for a view of his handsome features. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate. Atnany, Feb. 11, 1361. Mr. Ronerrson introduced a bill to legalize certain acts of the United States Loan Commissioners. On motion of Mr. Hittiouse the United States Deposit Fund bill was referred to the first-Committee of the Whole. Mr. Frero moved that the President of the Hudson River Railroad be requested to report the amount received for passengers and freight to and from each station on the road for 1860. A debate ensued, when Mr. Fiero withdrew ‘the resolu- tion Mr. Goss moved the concurrent resolution reported by the Committee on Internal Affairs, towns and counties for the submission to the people at the next general elec- tion of the peopositina to amend the constitution by pro- hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors as. a beverage.

Messrs. Convix and Lawrexck hoped the Sénate would refuse to accept the declension. Adjourned, Assembly. Aunany, Feb. 11, 1861. The Assembly met at half-past seven. A large number of petitions were presented for the re- peal of the Sunday law. The Half Mill Tax bill, to pay the constitutional canal debt, and the Dill to authorize an advance of $600,000 from the Canal Sinking Fund on the half mill canal tax, were reported favorably. Mr. Doty, Private Secretary to Governor Morgan, pre- sented a communication from the Governor, transmitting a letter from President Lincoln, as follows:— Spxinarivip, TIL, Feb. 4, 1861.
