ious in Christian Europe. At all events, we counsel the Americans abroad that if they cannot meet together for worship without falling into denominational disputes they had better content themselves with saying fheir ‘prayers in the seclusion of their closets. Or, if they must go to church, Catholic and Pro- testant churches are equally open to them. ‘The American colony in each of the principal European cities is large, but not so large that a single grand old cathedral could not hold thom all. The Concert and Lecture Senson. _ For the last two years the concert hall has Thecome a fashionable resort in this city. (There is hardly an edition of the Henatp that ‘does not contain an announcement of one, two vor more concerta,.and the season for such ventertainments extends from September far linto the dogdays of the following year. The Hist is very large each year. Harrison bas his Sunday and popular concerts at Steinway fall, which are constantly varied, both as re- jgards programmes and artistes; the Philhar- monic Society produce the best classical works vat the Academy in a style surpassing many similar organizations in Europe; the sym- ‘phony soirées, conservatory concerts and the ‘datorio nights attract hundreds of our music Joving people, and innumerable benefit, church fi concerts constantly put forward ir claims for public patronage. The popu- p of concerts in this city may be dated ‘from the period:of the decline of opera. People prefer hearing a well selected programme, wepresenting every school of music, played and ung by competent artistes, to a fossilized opera wendered by fossilized singers. Concerts have one great advantage over opera in not being ‘tied down to one particular composer or school sof music for an entire evening. We have first of all, a8 an introduction,- an orchestral or -organ overture, then a violin, piano, vocal or cornet solo and a finale by the orchestra. The French, German and Italiam-schools. are ually divided, and the audience passes from Majestic utterances of Beethoven and Wandel to the dreamy poetry of Mendelssohn, She sparkling champagne-like ebullitions of ‘Auber and Offenbach, or the mad phrenzy of Qiszt and Wagner. Again, in concert native talent has a chance of being heard. Every week during the present season some de- Dutante, fair or otherwise, essays his or her wers before the public, and the Conserva- fory pupils are filled with ambition and hope @o have the prefix “Signor or Mile.,” with the pratifying affix of “well known artiste,” at- ftached to their names. The concert hall teaches the public more music in one season than years of Italian opera, for it gives the ‘mnultitudinous composers of every age a chance of being heard. Regarding the lecture season, ‘Charles Dickens, who commences his Gotham career to-morrow night, is the only popular ‘wepresentative. De Cordova has made quite @ success in his humorous delineations of do- mestic life, and Mrs. Yelverton has attracted public sympathy and patronage during her provincial tour. The lecture room is an un- \gtateful office for any but first class talent. The Skating Season. After the mild weather which bas been pro- longed into December it will not be strange if winter takes its revenge by freezing more wigidly than ever our rivers and the ponds in * the Park and Jerome Park. But this will ‘be all the better for our skaters. The skating @eason promises to be unusually gay this ‘winter. Uncle Sam has become so heavy a screditot that, in order to meet his demands, all jolagses must retrench their expenses, and Yewer grand dinners, balls and parties may perhaps be given. But skating, which has be- ‘oome as fashionable as “the German,” is a less expensive amusement, while at the same time &t will afford the ladies ample opportunities to Wisplay a variety of jaunty, coquettish cos umes, combining with the latest European styles the utmost American originality. Here ‘will be a fine field for their well-meditated re- volt against the tyranny of Paris fashions. » In the countries bordering upon the North- ern ses, particularly on the canals and rivers of Holland, skating bas long been almost an indispensable mode of rapid locomotion. But sat the Park in New York, as at the Bois de Bou- Jlogne at Paris, as it has been for centuries on ‘the Serpentine river at London and on Duddin- stone Loch at Edinburg, skating is a decidedly fashionable’ exercise. On the Serpentine gentlemen used to dance the @ouble minuet and other quadrilles on skates “with as much ease and more elegance than in a ball room.” In those days they would have found ladies equally skilled for partners on the ice. Among the ‘best skaters from all parts of the world, wel- comed as honorary members by the Imperial Skating Club, under the presidency of the late Duke de Morny, the half brother of the Em- peror, several Americans were conspicuous, especially Marshall, the distinguished New York artist, and certain beautifal New York Madies, who rivailed or surpassed the Empress SEugénie and the ladies of her court as skaters dn the Bois de Boulogne. One secret of the growing superiority of American skaters is the “The Edda” has immortalized the god Uller “for his beauty, his arrow and his skates,” without telling us precisely what kind of skates his godship wore, But in ancient, although ‘less legendary times, we know that the Ice- anders used for skates the greased “shank ‘bone of @ deer or a sheep, about « foot long ;” ‘and at a later but still remote period the Lon- NEW.YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1867.—TRIPLE SHEET.

The November Earthquakes—Destracti: ‘Two More of the Windward Isles. Havawa, Dec. 7, 1867. The Spanish mail steamer from Cadiz, via St. John’s, Porto Rico, has arrived with news from the latter port to the lst inst. * By this mail we have the confirmation of the reported earthquakes on November 18 and19. It appears that great anxiety reigned throughout the entire population until the 23d. The consterna- tion created by the shocks was dreadful. All the edifices in St. John’s were more or leas damaged, but no injury to person is so far announced. One of the shocks lasted for twelve seconds and was felt in other parts of tne island. No shocks, however, had been felt since the 25th ult. Eyewitnesses who had arrived at St. Thomas by the schooner Andalusian report that the island of St. Martin had nearly disappeared and that of St. Bartholomew had been almost destroyed by a vol- cano. of MEXICO. Romero Elected te Congress—Depredatio: of the Apackes—Inandations in Oaxaca— Juarez Inaugurates a Marble Factory. Havana, December 7, 1867. The steamer Marsella, from Vera Cruz November 28, has arrived here, bringing news from the capital of Mexico to the 26th. Congress held s second session on the 21st, when there were present one hundred and nine members. The next session was to take place on the 28th, when it was expected there would be one hundred and twenty members in their seats. It was generally believed that the open sessions would not begin before December 1. The salary of President Juarez is $30,000 per anoum. Several of the State Legislatures had convened and be gun business. In Guanajuato Matias Romero had been elected to Congress. The excessive tolls heretofore levied throughout Mexico have been abolished. y Fernando Ortega had arrived at the capital from Victoria de Tamaulipas. Paran had arrived at San Luis Potosi. The corps of ¢hasseurs and dragoons are being reorganised in the State of Guanajuato. The Apache Indians, of Sonora, continue their depredations, and robberies abound throughout the Northern States. Government, however, was taking measures to pursue and punish the savages. At Tuntepec, in the State of Oaxaca, there had been destructive inundations, and the population hadto remove. Great misery was caused by the excessive rains on that side of the Sierra. At the inauguration of a new steam marble fac- tory in the city of Mexioo, President Juares started the first saw. During the ceremony he made a neat speech, in which he said that the first slabs cut should be used for the monuments to be erected in honor of the martyrs who fell for the cause of Mexican independence. Trouble Feared in Tamaulipas—The Mexico and Vera Cruz Railway Concession—The Old English Company Restored to Favor— Chances of Romero to Get inte the Cabinet. Havana, Dec. 7, 1867. The English steamer Danube, Captain West, has arrived here from Vera Cruz with news from that port to the 3d instant. She had been quarantined at Vera Cruz for two days. Her news from Tampico is up to November 27. There were seribus fears entertained there that the rival claims of De ia Garra, Trevifio and Saldafia for Governor of Tamaulipas would result in serious trouble. A decree has been issued renewing the conces- sion for the building of s railroad to Vera Cruz from the capital. It was granted to the old Eng- lish company, who held their charter under the late empire, The new concession authorizes a subsidy of $560,000 per annum to the company for twenty-five years, to be secured by alien of twenty per centum on the customs revenue of the republic, but it requires the road to be finished as far as Puebla by January 1, 1869, and to be completed to the capital by 1871. The company is allowed to export annually half a million of money, free of duty. But .their divi- dends must not be less than twelve per cent per annum, and the road is held liable for the cost of the material and labor used in its construction. The privileges of the concession are to last for the term of seventy-five years. But, government re- serves to itself the right to grant equal priviliges for a road from the capital to Vera Cruz via Jalapa to the company of Sefior Zangronis. In Congress, on November 28, @ special com- mittee reported against the admission of a mem- ber from Aguascalientes, who had held office under the empire, as a member of the munici- pality of Aguascalientes. ‘There’ were reports of s probable change in the Cabinet, and the belief is that Lerdo will go out and be replaced by Romero. Colonel Babcock and Minister Plumb had been entertained at « breakfast by President Juarez. Padre Fischer was still a prisoner. General Marquez was believed to be secreted in the capital. General Sturm and party had been the recipients of quite am ovation on the part of the government. They were making active preparations to settle up thelr business in Mexico and return to New York. ‘ ‘The steamers from Havana were prevented from holding communication with the shore at Vera Cruz and Sisal, owing to the cholera reports re- ceived from Cuba.
