The following is the explanation given:— Communication with St. Thomas has been suspended since the 5th inst. in consequence of an interruption in the submarine cable between Santiago de Cuba, on the southeastern side of the island of Cuba, and Hol- land Bay, in the island of Jamaica The West India and Panama Telegraph Company of Lon- " whom the line belo! as soon broak occurred chartered a steamer to two points, and she th inst.

There was quite a large dience present and the programme possessed so many features of interest that the pertorfiance was heartily enjoyed by those present. There was an orchestra, selected from the best elements of the Thomas and Philharmonic organizations, two favorite soloisis, Miss Emma C. Thursby, soprano, and Mr, 8. E. Jacobsotn, vio- linist The concert upened with the delighttul over- ture of Schubert, “Alfonso and Estrella” It was played with a heartiness, expression and fire that augured well for tho success of the rest of the concert. The inexhaustible fancy of the prince of lyrists, the ‘Midas of Music,’ as he has been rightly called, is displayod in the Schubert overture, Tho second piece on the bill was the ballet music trom Giuca's ‘*Paris and Helen,” given tor the first time in this country. It consists of an aria, a chaconne and a otte, and although castin arather serious mood lor modera ideas ot ballot music, yet the exquisite symmetry of the movements, characteristic of the style of the original fou oft the music-drama, made ® profound impression on the bearer. Beethoven’s second symphony in D major, opus 36, was another bright feature on tne bill.

Yesterday afternoon, when tho Philadelphia passen- ger train, due at the Communipaw terry at ten mi utes past four, reached the Jersey Central Railroad depot, it ran off the track, carried away a portion of the freight office and plunged into the river. Fortu- Dately only slight injuries were sustained by any of the passengers, and no one but the conductor was at all seriously injured. The cause of the accident bas not as yet received any plausible explana- tlon, but a theory prevails that the vacuum brakes gave way and the engi: was anable to slow up in time to avoid the disas: . It appears that the train was precisely on time, coming im at the usual rate of speed. The switches were adjusted and safely passed over and the engine rushed along, entering the Pagsage to the depot at its road pace and showing no evidences of slacking up. At once it occurred to the few bystanders that something was wrong. An alarm was given, which caused loungers on the tracks to scamper out of the way and theclerks tn the freight oluce, which lay almost on a line with the tremity of the track, to make an expeditious from the scene of their labors. Warning lights Vefore the mighty engine rushea off track, caught with the smokestack the roof, dashed through the wail of the freight office id plunged into the river alongside, As the train whirled along and just as it reached the end of the truck the engineer rashed to the platform und sprang out, falling to the groundsenseless. A moment betore the’ treman bad jumped off furiber up the depot. ‘There was acry of dismay from the employés of the depot, which was responded to by tho startied passen- gers, and then there was # hurrying to the spot, while the crushed wall piled up ite débris on tho wreck, amd the wooden up- Tights, wrenched from their places, rattled down.

Edwin Booth’s appearance at the Lyceum Theatre on the 20th inst. as Hamlet will insurea strong Shakes- pearian season in New York. Mr. MoVicker has organ- ized a strong company, and the famous tragedian will appear in all his greatest characters. On October 14 “‘Hamiet”? was porformed simulta- neously at the Imporial Opera House, Vienna, and the Royal Opera House, Berlin. By rare coincidence a father and son sustained the samo part, Herr Heck, Sr., being the Hamlet in the former and Horr Beck, Jr, inthe ir capital a “Miss Mallon,” which will replace soon the *Two Orphans”? at the Union Square Theatre, will presont ‘Miss Clara Morris for the first time there in two years, Mra. Wilkins, Bijou Heron, Louise Syivester, Mabel Leonard, Mr J. H. Stoddart and Mr. John Parselle in the cast, with now scenery by Mr. Marston. ‘The Olympic theatre is to rejoice in the posséssion ot Gangero’s Royal Japs, who havo beon allowed by his Royal Nibs, the Mikado, to visit America for ono year only. Thoy are Yara Keku, Oue Taro, Tommy Taro and Kuchno Taro, and their performances are expected to be as singular as their names, “The Shaughraun’”’ is an immense success at Wal- lack’s, and the manager, the author and the company have reason to be congratulated on its brilliany ro- ception, The scenery is more beautifal than on the occasion of its origimal production, and the second cast quite as strong as the first, The changes are but few. Mr. Boucicault’s engagement is limited, and ‘orbidden Fruit” and the new drama of “All For Her” will follow. “Life” will be withdrawn in’ the height of its suc. cess, after five more performances. It bas crowded the Fifth Avenue Theatro for fifty nights, but must give place to the revival of “As You Like It,” with new scenery and @ strong cast, in whiclr Miss Fanny Davenport and Mossra, Coghlan, Castle, Fisher and Davidge will appear. Mr. Daly has restored to the yo several of the original Shakespearean scenes omitted in the usual acting edition. To-morrow evening will begin the fourteeath week of *‘Sardanapalus,” and the 100th performance occurs on the 20th inst) Mr. F. C. Bangs, who has acted the Assyrian king from the first, will have a benefit on Friday night. The dramatic career of Mr. Bangs is notable for other long runs, He played Marc Antony eighty times with Edwin Booth, ana afterward, under the mamagement of Booth’s Theatre, 103 times. In Mr. Boucicault’s ‘After Dark” he acted Old Tom at Niblo’s Garden seventy times, and the Duke of Olva, in Sardow’s “Patria,” fifty times at the Grand Gpera House. The New York Aquarium is conducted in a sensidie way, and the proprietor is continually adding to a collection of fishes and marine animals which was from the beginning the best ever exhibited in Amer. jea, Every day of two there is a novelty, and among the latest is a fish which might be described as watery ‘Pasha of three tails,’ a Japanese wonder ealled the “Kingiyo,” which {is not only beautifal im color but has a triple tail. This curiosity, it is said, 1# the result of that ingenious breeding tor which the Japanese are noted. The whale, the sea lions, the seals and ceils, and the fanny crabs, the comedians of the busy scene, are on exhibition day and night. Barnem’s Menagerie, Circus and Museum, at Gil- more’s Garden, three shows in one, draw crowds every day ana evoning. Those who do not care for the cin cus can sce the menagerie in its separate department, and vice versa, The trained elephants and the tame hippopotamus are especial favorites with ladics and children, and more exciting sport will be furnished im the ring by Howard and Victoria, who will perform their mid-air exercises, while James Cook, the Shakespearian clown will furnish amusement An event of this week is the challenge of Charles Fish to any ‘pad’! or “bare back rider’ in the world, and we see {t has been accepted by Romero Sebastian.

Aswo are not to bave opera this season, this fine festival, of which Mr. James W. Mor. rinsey ie the manager, will be twiee welcome to must- moment, and only left it when a longer stay would have made his death a certainty. Soon after the accident the rintendent of the Toad arrived, but declared himself unable to aiscover the cause of the disaster. Ho, too, was disposed to at- tribute it to some accidental failure of the brakes. During the evening the boats bringing over people to the trains increased the gathering that came to look upon the smash-up, and incoming trains contributed thoir quota to the crowd, Judging from the wreck left behind it tho engine must have entered the depot at a pretty fair rate of speed, which in po measure slackened till it crushed through timbers, walls and pier, Heavy supports were snapped like twigs and the side of the freight office ‘was a mere heap of splinters. A ferryboat had been at the extremity of the pier when the ongino plunged into the river, and was only saved trom damage by the strength of the spiles around it, which were crushed in and displaced. Last night the cars lay as the acci- dont lott them, the smoking car overturned and rest- ing upon the battered engine, which was buried under the water, and the other passenger car supported be- twoen the shattered dock timbers. While a Hxra.p reporter was on the seene of the disaster ho made several inquiries touching the brake- men on the train, who must have been able to account for the accident in some way. A number of employés of the road were on hand at the time and one of them involuntarily, no doubt, let drop that there was only one brakeman on service, and that he had jumped off as the train entered the depot. The reporter im- modiatety turned to question this man, when one of the other employés, understanding his mission, inter- posed with a statement that there wore three, ‘To this the first employé wee and backed his opinion by an offer to Let $10 that thero was but one brakeman, ich the other, alter some wrangling, declined to accept ‘This information, it it be true, reflects rather badly on the officers of the New Jersey Central Railroad. To allot one brakeman to a train of eight cars can hardly be the rule of the road, but if 1s is, Ginasters as snat of yesterday may be attributed to cther causes than the failure of the patent air brakes to perform their tunctions. Subsequent inquiries made by the reporter failed to satisfactorily settle the question whether the train bad been properly m: d or not it behooves the managers of the Jersey Central Railroad to look well to tt that no lack of assistants on their trains may be mado the cause of aceidents which imperil the lives and limbs of their passengers as might have done, had not peculiar circum- ally prevented it. There is on exhibition at Mathews’ Art Gallery an interesting and valuable collection of Italian statuary, which will be sold at auction on next Wednesday. Most of the works are marked by merit, and are from tho chisel of artists well known in Italy. Among these arc the well-executed busts of “Autumn and Winter,” by Professor Salada; a figure by Menghi, called Feeding the Pets,’ and another work by the game artist, ‘‘Curiosity. In addition to the works intended for gallery and drawing room are some eight plecos of garden statuary in Sicilian marbles, the quality of this marble allowing it to defy the rigors of the climate. These works are not so highly finished as thoir companions, but represent good workmanship of their kind. In all tnefe are some thirty eight pieces on exhibition which will well repay inspection. The quality of the statuary marble 1s re- peotent good, which 18 a point tn favor of this col- lection. Wo learn that Mr. Jobn Taylor Jobnston’s collection of pictures will remain on exhibition at the Metropoll- tan Art Museum during the coming week, The gallery will be open to the public from ten A. M. to five P. M., and those who have not already visited the collection ought not to lose the opportunity of seeing them. be sale at the Miner Art Gallery has been post- poned, in consequence of a fire in a neighboring house which rendered the removal of the art works neces- sory. Wo regret to learn that during the confusion caused by the fire some thicves carried off paintings to the value of over $3,800. Mr. Miner hopes to recover those treasures before the sale, which wil be shortly announced.
