Speedy Completion of the New Boulevard— Public Improvemente—The Underground Railway. At @ meeting of the West Side Association, beld last night at the Everett Rooms, corner of Broad- way and Thirty-fourth street, there was @ large representation of the property owners of the west side. The President of the association, Mr. William A. Whitbeck, presided. The object of the meeting ‘was to consider the necessity of the speedy com- pletion of projected improvements on the west side, the grade of the Eighth avenue and the more rapia transportation of passengers to the upper end of the island. In stating the objects of the meeting the president said, in reference to these subjects, that delay in opening the first section of the Boulevard had cost the city and the owners of property assessed to pay for this improvement over $2,000,000. This he accounted for on the ground of the continual rise in value of realestate in New York, the right of ‘way for the iands. required for this grand avenue, which could have been obtained in 1866 for $1,500,000, costing im 1868 $3,500,000. ‘The extra 22,000,000 went into the pockets of the owners; but dt was jess satisfactory to them than if they had received the market value of their lots two years ago, for the $1,600,000 reinvested would have yielded covet $2,000,000 profits, The upper section of the Boulevard is still to be opened, and by the thne it is Opened $3,000,000 more—$5,080,000 in all—may be set down to the account of unnecessary delay in the matter of this improvement alone. The causes of heavy taxation, it waa said, were apparent, and re- hei was to be had Lb fi 4] peeay opening not only of ‘the upper section of the Boulevard, but also of the a of the Riverside and Mor mingside arks, Point and all the streets, at Washi svenees and public places now remaining un- opened, the lands for which must be pur- chased and paid for at the wiarket vaiue. ‘The speedy completion of all the pubic improve- ments of the west side was demanded for other and higher reasons. Recurring to the Boule- vard the speaker said that the idea upon which it ‘Was projected was the extension of the Park drive fo a@ to embrace Washington Heights and the elevations at the Worthern end of the island. As yet only one half of this had been commences, and no movement at all had been made on the ington Heights section, the most important portion of the work. The present section might become a great thoroughfare in the sense in which Broadway and Third avenue ate great thoroughfares; put the gteat purpose for which the Boulevard was de- Signed=abat ia, @ grand drive—would never be realized until fally completed. In conclusion the speaker said, in referring to the subject of steam transportation, that in his sadgment rapid transpor- tation by steam to the upper end of the island, by the underground railyoad or otherwise would not be bad until the people of the city in mass take the mat- fer in their own Lands, and determined, first, that no more franchises for carrying passengers are to be ven away, and ae they are to have the benefit of from in cheap fares; second, that al! opposition must cease; third, that the route selectea for the frat road, Whatever tie plan of ite construction, should be a practicable one, either upon way or 80 Dear tg it as best to accommodate the pubiie.

The first piece presented was ‘‘Aunt and Niece,” in which Mme.

Elena Lanari made her début last night before a crowded audience. We heard her in two pieces which were well calculated to test the versatility of style in an artist. They were, “Ah! non Giunge,” the celebrated rondo, with the preceding recitative, from “Sonnambula,” and “Ah! Forse e Lul,’’ from “Traviata.” In the first there was ample room for a display of facile execu- tion and florid vocalization; in the second, an oppor- tunity for showing tragic power. Mme.

Train entertained a small but ex- ceedingly select gathering of his friends and ad. mirers at the Cooper institute last evening with an excruciatingly fanny and highly characteristic jeo- ture on the little diMeulties at present existing be- tween England, Ireland and America. Having given @ nuinber of valuable hints to the Fenian leaders as to the best and speediest mefhod of “wiping out” Great Britain, and settled the Alabama question to the entire satisfaction of his audience, Mr. Train proceeded to empty the phimis of his wrath against the “five cent press.” Mr. Greeley, in one of his re- ports, bad indulged ina sneer at the smali attena- ance at @ previous lecture, but the orator would have Mr. Greeley to know that those present were picked men, leaders, and represented millions. The Princ! pal papers of the city were subsidized by Eng- land and the@hiskey en 2 Grant was in the whiskey ring. Attempts were being made to sell this coum- try to Engi fang, but the irrepressible orator was "> termined to frustrate the scheme. The only way to od ali thie frand and corruption was to LL reso- lutions declaring immediate war with England. Resolutions to that effect were unanimously adopted. Mr. Train deciared that the Atiantic ante was the curse of this country, and hoy i hearers would take the hint and cot Na os ‘ones. Train was gorgeously arrayed jn» blue swallow tat with a velvet collar and a brilliant assortment oi brass buttons, a large rosette, in which poo colors of the rainvow were beaatifaily blended, an immacu- late white waistcoat and sombre iInexpressibles.

Sketches of the gees States Senators Elected Below we give i iographical sketches of those Senators to Congress who were elected by the differ- ent State Legislatures yesterday and who have not served before in the United States Senate:— CARL SCHURZ, OP MISSOURI. ‘The election of Mr. Schurz to the Senate of the United States by the Missouri Legislature yesterday is an event of more than ordinary significance at the present time. A native of Prussia and student at the Bonn University, he first became known as a red republican of the most pronounced stripe, In 1848 and in 1849 he engaged in the Baden rebellion, which, failing, compelled him to fy. He had been con- demned to death, and Profeasor Kinkel, of the Uni- versity, his tutor and friend, to imprison- ment for life. By strategic means he suc- ceeded in effecting the escape of Kinkel and then went to Paris, where he corresponded for several German papers. In 1851 he removed to England, engaged in teaching, and after marry- ing there emigrated in 1852 to this country, He re- sided in Philadelphia for three years, then removed to Wisconsin and engaged in politics, stumping the 1 completed his bene of the English language and soon after appeared in pea an abolition: L rao In 1860 he was one of t! tes to the rip - can National Convention hea in Yohicago, and after the mn of Mr. Lincoln was Sppointed Minister to Spain.

The rebellion over Gen- eral Schurz returned to civil life and for a time acted as the Washington correspondent of s New removed to De- more than ordinary interest at the present time, and 80 itis. Ifthe speeches of General Schurz be taken as the index to his political ideas, his mind contains but little in common With the institutions of this country. Lag grag: as understood here, and as learned by the great Log atied of his couutrymen who have emigrated to the United States, is not tnat republicanism for which he risked his life in Ger- many. Here we have a practical democracy; there the utopias of dreamers, Whether General Schurz will abandon his mdividual notions of govern- ment remains to be seen. We trust that be will; for the visionary ideas of red republicanism meet with but little g papa. from the citizens of this country, Germans, hh and Americans alike. They possess too much ine elements of destruction; too! little the elemente of construction. HANNIBAL HAMLIN, OF MAINE. Yesterday the Maine Legislature electea this gen- tleman a member of the United States Senate for the term ending in 1875. He was born in Maine on the 27th of August, 1800, and is a lawyer by pro- | fession. He: first appeared in political life as a mem- ber of the State Legislature, was a Representative tothe Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth Congresses, and in May, 1848, was elected a‘member of the Sen- ate for four years to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Fairfleld. in 1851 he was re-elected for the full term, but resigned his seat to become Governor of the State. ing re-elected to the Senate, however, he resigned the office of Governor, having held but little over ong month. In 1860 he was nominated for the office of Vice President of the United States and was elected on the same ticket with Mr. Lincoln, Not being renominated Mr. Ham- lin returned to civil life upon the expiration of Mr. Lincoln’s first term, but was soon after appointed Collector of Customs for Boston by President John- som 08% F. STOCKTON, OF NEW JERSEY. Mr. Stockton’s election by the New Jersey Legis- lature yesterday will gratify many who belleve that he was unjustly deprived of his seat in the Senate in 1866, He is a native of Printeton, N. J., and is descended from a very distinguifhed family of the Revolution. His great grandfather was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, while his grandfather and father both served in the United States Senate. It is also a fact worthy of mention that these three ancestors were all born in Princeton and all died at the same placé The sub- ject of this sketch was admitted to the bar in 1849 and after practising fora short time waa appointed by the New Jersey Legislature to revise the laws ot that State.
