Mr. Noam Davis, of Western New York, was the moxt speaker. _ In the course of his speech he said:— There is upon us a national debt of $2,600,000,000, It ts of small moment to inquire who is responsible for the existence of this debt, for after all discussion of thas subject is exhausted the ugly fact still re- mains that we owe the debt, The questions im- portant to be considered by us are, shall the debt be paid? and bow paid? and bow shall it be handled while in the procest of payment?

He left San Franctaco last October for a six months’ tour in Asia, and he condenses the facts of his travels in sixty minutes’ lecture, to which he will add popular songs and laughable burlesques of noted characters. He returned to California and entertained the people there with graphic and amusing descriptions of what he saw and passed virough. Both the people and press of the Golden State were enthusiastic over his humorous delineations. He visited Foochow, Canton, Amoy, Swatow, Nankin, Hong Kong and other places in China, 4 Nagasaki, Yokoha Jeddo and other places in Japan. He describes tl as well as the mode of living, habits, customs ullarities of the people. Followin; closely on @ stepa of Mr. Burlingame and the Chinese Em- bassy, he will give an account of the impressions with regard to the miasion in China and the probable effect of it upon the government and people. He holda that the opening of the ports in Japan is a _ farce, and that the Japanese are cunning and ugly customers to deal with. Jeddo, he says, is a city far more populous than London or aiicient Nine veh. Stephen Massett isa keen observer of every- thing around him, and this, together with his tnex- hauetible fund of humor, enables him to give a leo- ture both highly amusing and full of information. There is a rich entertainment coming for the people of this city. ACaDBMY OF Music, BroogLyN.—Last night Miss Kellogg made her first appearance in Brooklyn since her return from Europe. The concert was not success merely—it was o triumph. From parquet to gallery the spacious edifice was filled as we have but seldom seen it filed before, Brooklyn last night did her best to welcome the young prima donna, and the best was not unworthy of Brooklyn. Never did Miss Kellogg receive from any audience a more hearty or more enthusiastic welcome than she re- ceived last night. Old men and matroi goung r feet, of their men and maidens, some of them rising to vied with each other in the expression feel Miss Kellogg fully sustained the repu- tation she has acquired, Hec “Luce di Quest Anima,”’ which was applauded to the evho, brought out ‘Hol Sweet Home,” which was sung with a taste and a power we have never scen equalled. The ‘Chanson de rire’’ in the second part and the Italian ditty come in for equal praise, Her success in the part of Marguerite last night juatified the most enthusiastic praise that has ever been be- stowed upon her. The young and the beauriful ES donna was in excellent voice and jevidentiy asexcelient spirits, She was at howe with the audience and the audience with her. Although she . was the sou. of the evening, we ought not to forget Mr. Kopta, who is as much waster of his violin as Kelk 1s mistress of her voice, nor Petreili, Fos- eati, Colett!, Lotti and the others, all of whom lent Miss Kell Most effective asalstance. The “Bar- ber of Seville” is to be produced in Brooklyn on Wednesday, November 4, with Miss Kellogg as Rosina—s character in wich she excels, Mrs. Scort-Sippons aT STeINWAY HaLi.—The third reading of Mrs. Scott-Siddons last night only confirmed the impression she has already made as a dramatic artist of so high an order that we must Fogret to find her talents confined to the elocution of the reading desk rather than seeing them expanded upon the stage.
