The Barning of the City of New London, The Sound steamer City of New Loadon took fire off Poqueianoc Cove, in the Thames Biver, yesterday, and was totally dosiroyed. The fire was first discovered issuiag trom one of the ventilators, bu! three streams of water were broughi to batr upon it and it was sup- yposed to be ext! Mbispep. Soon afterwards, however, fire waa ajemn discovered in some cotton omgiieck, and this refused to succumb to any efforis of the crow. Thereupou the cap- tain determined to beach the vesse!, but found that the engine would not work, and that there was danger of a boiler explosion, There- Upon every one on board determined to save himself; but the life presorvers and the boats were found to lave been cut off by the spread ¢ of the flames, and tha passengers and crew were compelicd to take to the water with only such supports as they could secure ‘© serve as a life preserver. Three Passengers and nine of the crew were drowned, and the rest wero picked up by boats from shore, greatly exhausted. The Gisaster to the City of New London brings to mind the absolute necessity for not only more boats and more life preservers on all seagoing or river sicamers, but also the necessity for a more general distribution of these about the oat. Usually there is a lifeboat between tho paddle boxes and others hanging over the Quarters, and as a general thing life preservers ‘are piled up ona high shelf, entirely out of reach of passengers, with as much ill-advised ‘gare as a thrifty housewife shows for ber lean table linen. They should be ecatiered mell about the boat, so that the passen- themselves may see them at every turn, &nd be within reach. of them on every mare of fhe boat. As for the lifeboats, there should only be pore of tliom, but they should be erexyoy Opn be éasily launched in Qn emergenoy, and they should always be got Teady on the first occurrence of any danger threatening the safety of tho boat. the Vind uct Railroad Reorganized. “Who directors of the New York City Rail. toad, popularly called the Viaduct, met yest: Gay and received the resignations of nearly every mowber of the old directory, and pro- seeded at once to reorganize a new one. ‘Among the elements thus eliminated from tho ‘board aro all that had any connection with the aity government or upon whom even the shedow of 4 connection with Tammany bad fallen.

Let us all, gen- uemen, make this grand, generous and salvatory policy, each one witnin his ideas, according to his studies, his aspirations and bis experience, without hatred or rancor to the rest, contributing to the formation of two great parties—the one progressive the other conservative. These have to constitute the two elements indispensable to the regular march | of representative institutions, 80 that in good har- mony and working each independently in questions accessory to politics and to details of administra. tion May unite in one whenever the tunda- mental interests of the country or its institutions demand, separating and occupying their respective places when the common danger has disappeared.

The place is a great Improve- * ment on the old establishment over Faust’s stables, to which the Mormon papers were accustomed to refer with derision. ‘The time of the Court was occupied with various unimportant motions, and nothing of general inter- est transpired. The corner stone of the first Methodist Church building in Salt Lake was laid yesterday with con- siderable ceremony. ‘There are now here regular church organizations of Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Roman Catholics. Over $150,000 in silver bullion was received last week from the Ely mining district. ‘The trains from the East are still forty-eight hours benind time, owing to snow storms, ‘The weather here is very cold.

The numper of Ku Kiux prisoners already here 1s almost dally increased by fresh arrivals from the western counties of the State, until there are well igh two hundred to be tried at the term of the United States Circuit Court tocommence on the 27th inst, A more ignorant, abject, demoralized set of men could scarcely be found anywhere.

ANUSEMENTS, Italian Opera—“Mignes.”” AS WAS anticipated Thomas’ beautifdl opera proveil last ul:bi the most successful event of the season. The Academy had its usual assemblage of beauty, wealth and fashion, and the applause was of @ more enthusiastic character than on any pre- ceding nizht of the season, ‘Ine cast included the following artists:—Mignon, Mule. Nilsson; Viltna, Duval; Federico, Mile, Ronconl; Withelm Meister, Monsicur Capoul; Lotario, Monsieur Jamet; Laerte, Mi. Lyall; Giorno, Signor Coletti, Ihe music ef the opera is exceedingiy interesting, aud the instrumentation, in particniay, graceful, | varied and always im accordance with tho dramatic charucver of tho scene. Unusual | Pains were takea by the management to present the opera complete in every detail, and the audience gazed with asionishment at the unwonted feature of new scenery and appoiwtmeats, The opera was very Wandsomely mounted, and the scene in the third act representing the lake, park and theatre near the Baron’s castle, was worthy of one | of our vomeijy theatres, The dresses, also, lo this scene were very differout trom the dingy warufents that generally adora the chorus of the opera here. Tlie roves o’ Mignou and Filine are aimosé of equal importance, one serving as a foul for the other, Mignon 13 sad, sympathetic and child- like, borh 1 her ilove ‘or her protector and her Jeaiousy; Filine is the accompiished coquette and | heartiess flirt, In the first act, in the entry and pro- cession of the gypsies, 4 cart ladea with the traps of these vagraults is drawn on the stage and, im it Mignon \ is discovered asicep.

Like the “Connats tu” in Mignon’s music, Fuine has a dasuing Volonaise Wuich gives a bright color te the vie. ‘tis Polonaise is by no means eusy of execution; but all 13 raps, roulades aud trils Were given by Mile, Pavel with fn ease, accuracy and spirit that surprised all Who had heari her previously jn other dies. The part seemea admirably suifed for her engag- ing pupparanice and coquettish manner, aud sho certalaly availed uorself of the opportunity to make @ decided hi, “M. Capoul won bis greatest triumph thig season as the susceptible and veader-hearted Wilhelm Meister. He was in excellent voice, and the charming aria, “Addio! Mignon,’? and the pas- slonate music Of the last act received full Justice at his hands, Ho seeias to have made a special study Of love making on the stage, acd his studies have made him a pertect master of the sub- ject. Jamet sang and acted the role of the wandering harper and bereaved father very suvcesstully. The music of this rdle is character- ized by the harp pas ages, which constantly appear in the instrumentation. In fact, there 1s trong individuahty about the music Of all the r6/es mm this opera, A word o! praise is due to M. Lyall, who Made his first appearanee this season. The r0le of Laerte did not cail ior much at bis Lands, but that little he did gracefully and satisfactorily, ‘Che cho- Tus @nd orchestra must bave undergone severe training, ag both were unusually food as far as accord goes, but they still need drilling for the sake of expression, Altogetuer the production of “Mig- non” may be looked upon as an unqualified success, It is not exactly fair that Mlle, Nilsson and M, Capoul should have to bear the weight of uns season on their shoulders, without having one artist capabie of relieving them ror a single nignt. Tao exiest of this constant strain on an artist's voice 1s well known, and many fine artists have been Placed hors de combat by ts meaus. Now there will be another season of opera given at the Academy of Music in the spring, and it would be an excelient thing for the management to secure such great artists as Miss Kellogg and Kierr Wachtel to alternate with Nilsson and Vapoul. ‘The Uberal patronage bestowed upon the opera by the public demands from the management such @ complete company of first class taleut as will pre- clude the possibility of a disappointwent. One prima donna and one tenor cannvt be considered as suiictent for an opera company. Prince Galit: Concert. This distinguished representative of Russian musto repeated n's very interesting concert at Steinway Hall on Tuesday evening. The excite- ment consequent upon the airival of the Grand Duke exercisea a depressing effect upon the atten- dance, but the very interesting character of the music and the skill of the princely conductor in leading chorus ond orchestra safely through the mazes of bis own music and that of Glinka gud other muscovite composers riveted the atten- tion of those who were present. The compositions of Prince Galitzin that were performed on this oc- casion bear the impress of a bignly cuiti vated must- cian and arare skill in adapting the wild meiodies: of his native land to orchestral and choral purposes, We trust that the Prince will repeat wis concert on Qn Occasion wien it shall be honored with we pres- ence of the Grand Duke Alexis.

FRAUDULENT IMPORTATIONS, Why the Government Seized the Premises and Books Belouging to Weld & Co. busin, Nov. 22, 1871.

Bingham, ana irom these hooks evideuce of false unportations Previous to this @ criminal suit had been instituted, in which the jury disagreed, standing seven for the govern. ment and five forthe defendant. It is ciaimed by Weld & Co, that the proceedings are instituted with @ view of obtatning evidence to aid the government in the prosecution of the suit now pending against them in New York, and hence they have resisted the opening of their safes, on the ground that it is a ma- liclous persecution, and not vecause they believe the ofiicers of customs or revenue expect to sustalm any charges against them for fracdulent importa tons at (his port. ‘The allege en, Importations in the present case inciude 1,! box of lg imported Opening of im the ship Barnes, January 3, 1868; 700 boxes of nutmegs, imported in the slip Nabov, Juiy 24, 1869; 1,416 cases of nutmegs, 100 cases of ma ing no conspiracy in view, and | imported in the ship Rain!
