Lonpon, Oct. 28, 1874. Captain ryler has made his report on the con- ition of the Erie Reilwa: He says the road un- doubtedly possesses groat natural advantages, but in order that its resources may be properly de- veloped several things ure necessary, which he Specifies as follows: Double track, with steel rails and durable sleep- ers, on che whole main line and some other sec- tions, Some improvements in the gradients of the road. Freah extensions and connections. Change of gauge indispensabie. Improved terminal arrangements to provide sufficient storage for tacreased tramic, Iron bridges to be substituted tor wooden when the latter require renewal. Speculation in coal flelds and all other objects should be avoided. No outside rings should be permitted to carry out any of the above mentioned improvements. Liberal expenditure is required, but the precise amount to be expended trom time to time can only be settled alter most careful deliberation, There is probably no railway in the world which would better repay such large expenditure than this, if @ really good Management, supported by a stable constituency of proprietors, can be perma- nently secured. Captain Tyler recommends the organization of a strong committee in Engiand to control arrange- ments with regard to fresh capital and expendt- ture generally. The report strongly urges tho avoidance of competition wherever pos sible, and instances the four great ratiway systems penetrating the Alleghanies, which are carrying produce at manifestly unprofitable rates. Investors are told to make ailowance tor the de- pressing effects of last autumn’s panic, and not consider a8 normal the present year’s tramc. The connecting \ine from Buffalo to Chicago ts in an excellent condition, The report enlarges on the advantages of a Canadian connection via the international bridge, and concludes as follows :—‘We have ireely pointed out defects; but it is only iair to state that the same rigid scratiny of the best of our English railways would show a long list of improvements and expenditures ad- visable, There tsno cause for despair, but much Teason to hope for the iuture of Erte, if only undue competition is avoided and good management secured.” THE ENGLISH TURF.

Sener, the repup- lican Representative from the First Congressional District, was seriously injured sod maltreated. Mr. Sener, who is a candidate for re-election, is opposed by B. B. Douglass, democrat, and the con- test 60 tar has been very spirited and animated, with some bitterness throwoin. Yesterday they | mec st King William for a joint discussion, the at- | tendance of both parties being respectable in | potnt of numbers and as intelligent as an average mixed Southern audience of the kind, The speak- ers addressed the sovereigns from the porch of @ tavern, the stand betng probably about six tect above the ground, giving a clear and commanding | view of the crowd, From whatican earn Mr. | Sener had mace his speech, during the delivery of | Which he charged that Representative Beck, of | Kentucky, was the int:mate personal friend of { Ben Butler, and that though Beck was one of the leading democrats of the House, he had been de- feated tor re-election, and was repudiated by his constituents. Replying to this, Mr. Douglass de- nied the statement and corrected Mr, Sener, which correction that gentleman accepted, and there the matter, 1t waa thought, had ended. THE DISCUSSION ‘was resumed, however, and Mr. Douglass took oc- casiou to remark to Mr, Sener, who was standing some eight or ten feet irom him:— “When you do inake & charge, you ought to be sure to speak the truth.” Mr. Sener retorted, “Any man who says I do not Speak the truth, tics.’ MF. Dougiass answered, hotly, “lf you do not re- tract that | will tarow tals glass at you,’ at the sume time seizing a tumbier on the table, Mr. Sener again responding promptly, said, “If you throw that glass at me, I will throw this at you,” taking another in his band, Without sn instani’s delay Douglass buried his glasgat Sener, the latter returmiog the compli- Ment, ana both the missiles passed each other in Iiualr, Strising tar wide of their intended marks, At this juncture of the atfwir a republican politi- clan named Massic jumped as il to Sener’s assist- ance, and this precipitated AN ASSAULT on the part of the friends of Douglass. They rushed upon the porch or stand, and in tue mélée that took place Sener was forcibly turown over to tue grouud aud was there trampled upon by the crowd.

Lexington Avenue Grand Opera House. Under the title of “Speculation” there was pro- duced at this house last night a new society play On the uccasion of a iarewell testimonial tendered to Mrs. Robert Nathan by her amateur friends, ‘Tbe piay ia from the pen of the tair ddndfciaire, and its production lent a double interest to the event, The attendance was remark- ably large, and to judge trom the ap- Plause bestowead on the play = during its progress the audience were well pleased with its merit. AS may be gathered from the title, the work is purely American, and its reception goes far to disprove the complaints of those croakers who assert (uat native dramatic work is sot fairly treated by the public. Like most of the society dramas of the day, the interest in ‘“Specalation’’ turns on the deiicate reiations of a husbind aud wife, The subject is toucaed with exceeding dell- cacy, and the passions are as much diluted ag possi- bie. Neither does the dialogue offeud by its strength or by apy inconvenient sullles, but ows on with evenness and limpidity. There 1s @ coarm of sim- pheity in the construction and mode of working out the plot that could be siudied with advantage by more preteu tious authors of modern piays. The evil etfecis of the society drama with wiich we are ac- quainted are scen reflected even in this last production from @ Dative pen. If there is nothing that strikes us as very new in this work there 18 nothing very absurd, Under the present condition of dramatic authorship this may be accounted high praise. Ihe piay was put op the boaras with a completeness and luxury worthy 0. our boudorr tieaires, While 10 point of costume the lady perlormers quite eclipsed the pro- lessional graud ladies. he ladies, without exception, played thelr paris gracewully, sod with an euse and self-possession truly astonishing.

Emma Albina appears at the Academy of Music for the first time as Gildain Verdi's celebrated opera, “Rigoletto,” with Carpi as the Duke, Cary as Madelena and Tagiiapictra as Rigoletto, The performance promises to be one of the best of the season, Mile, Albani has, 80 Jar, proved herself fully adequate to fill the exigencies of the high standard = al- lotted to her, Sue 1s American, very young, and has in four years become the rival of Patti and Nilsson.

The bill at this house has been considerably im- proved by alteration effected in the English ver- sion of Offendach’s opéra douse, “Genevidve de Brabant; or, the Wonderful Pie.” There is some didicuityin acclimatizing this sparkling and joyous class of entertainment among Enghsh-speaking peoples, but, all things considered, tue Olympic company have succeeded in presenting the amus- ing Jeatures of this burlesque in @ manner to de- serve approval. The chief rdles are well filled. Miss Alice Harrison, as Genevitve, is bright and intelligent, sings sna acts well, with more.chic than we generally find with English actresses, The music 18 pecularly sparkling, and 1s rendered with very good effect. The singing oi Mr. Warden in the rdle of Golo is deserving of special mention, Barney and Rickey’s sketch, “Ali Hallow Eve,” hag a good deal of merit, with the exaggeration and unreality that seems ip- evitably to attact to all pictures of Irish Iile pre- sented on the stage. It 18, however, one of the best of the kind we have seen, and, though some pirts display a deligncfal indifference to jac, there 18 more naturalness in the sketches than we are accustumed to see on the stage. One of the most interesting and novel teatures ot the entertainment is “Ibe Living Fountain; or, the Bath of the Innocents.” We do not care to vouch Jor the absolute correctness of the latter halt of tue title, but “Tbe Living Fountain” is certainly at once Very graceiul and periectly un- objectionable. While it more tna fulfils tae prom- ise Of the posters in potut of artistic excellence it does not give rie to any o1 the objections that the posters suggest. ‘Ihe impression made is that of stutuary, although the changing hghts ou tne figures impart to them warm pues, Yet the com- position and treatment is 80 chaste that the “Liy- ing Fountain” does not pass jor an instant outside the domain of wrt. The brotners Carlo coutribute to the completeness of the programme by o series of acrobatic feats bordering on the impossible. These are relished exceedingly by the audience. ‘This acro batic Jeature of the performance is only tempo- rary, aud will terminate on Friday, as the acrobats are on thelr way to South America snd are com- pelled by their engagements to sail imme- diately. “The Serious Fumiiy’’ brings to a close a loog and mirth-provoking entertaiament, The } house 18 copstantiy crowded, the number of ladies present being quite remarkable. Shey appear to enjoy the periormance even More than their male duiends, It 1s to the credit o1 the mai ment that nothing calculated to Wound the selJ-respect of the audience fiuds a piace on the programme. ‘There is plenty of sun, but it 18 all of a perfectly bariniess kind. Theatre Comique. This popular downtown amusement resort was besieged with a great crowd early last evening, and belore the periormances began there was nota single seat to be bad, late comers eitner having to content themselves with ‘“stand- ing room’ or else resort to some other theatre for entertainment. The reasons for this continued prosperity are evident when one witnesses the varied periormance given within its walls, consisting of a medley of acts and special- ties of the must diverting character, without o word or an action at which the most fastidious could find iault, Negro iarces, serio-comic songs, the “Mulligan Guards,” character gances and bur- lesques of the most pronounced description com- prised the programme last night, and between the “Muinigan Guards” and Johu F. Poole’s skit on “Led Astray” the audience were kept in coutinual merriment until the tali of the curtain, in the vicinity of eleven o’ciock, Miss Amy Roberts, a serio-comic vocalist, made her first appearauce aud achieved a very pleasant impression, while Frank Kerns, Jubo Wild, Miss Kitty O'Neil, Harri- gan and Hart, and other favorites of the company appeared in various acts provocative of much en- Joyment to the audience aad applause fer them- selves.
