the Coliseum. Some of these, and there are at least a
hundred, are leased at extravagant rates, and the occu-
panti have already, id numerous instances, opened busi-
ness as venders of soda, beer; and other refreshments. An
auction sale of leases took place June 1. The Morris
Brothers are building a Minstrel Opera House upon a lot
north of Boylston-street, directly opposite the main en-
trance to the Coliseum, which will be in the centre of the
long shed-like structure, which is to contain 15 or 20
refreshment stands. The building will in form be some-
thing like the Coliseum, and is designed to accommodate
about 1,200 persons. The bridge across the railroads et
Dartmouth-street will be completed before the opening of
the Jubilee. The huge organ, which Messrs. E. and G. G.
Hook have built expressly for the Boston Peace Jubilee,
was tested at a private exhibition at, the builders' factory,
June 1. Dr. Willcox, who is to play it in the Coliseum, and
Ole Bull, who went to hear it, express great delight at its
marvellous capacity and beautiful construction. In the
exhibition room it was perfectly overpowering in the
loudest passages, and there is no fear but that it will fill
the Coliseum. The width across its front is 22 feet, and
its height is 30. Tho pumping of the air will be performed
by relays of a dozen men. The player will sit with
Uri
back to the organ and some 20 feet from it, the action
being reversed. The tone is said to be by no means harsh,
but wonderfully rich and deep. We hear by ca,,10
that

FIVE-TWENTY BONDS AS EXCHANGE.—Tke Tilas
continues to remark on the excess of the imports into the
United States over the exports, the balance being main]''
settled by Five-Twenty Bonds, to prove that an undo'
amount of the Republic's National Debt finds its Iva)" t°
Europe, and that trade is iu an unhealthy state at Ness'
York. "Although the shipments of produce from New.
York during the first four months of the present year were
less than usual, and the importations of foreign rude
were £7,000,000 in excess of those of the corresponding;
period of last year, and £12,300,000 in excess of the seve°
four months of 1867, the shipments of bullion from New
York to this side have been only £2,600,000, against
£7,400,000 last year, United States' bonds having continu-
ously supplied the means of meeting the heavy balance
due in the course of trade." This statement is unfair; be-
cause it does not tell all, and leaves an untruthful irePres-
sion on the mind. No doubt it is calculated to have ill°
effect the Times desires, but if the writer wished the
readerto understand the subject he would have added that
a large quantity of silver finds its way direct to China freul
San Francisco, which formerly passed through Ecgleua
:
and appeared in the reports from which the Times quotes
English and Germans make their chief American invest-
ments in Five-Twenty Bonds, but it is necessary to sh°v(
that what the United States gets is n, ,t as productive t 0
them as what they give, if the writer's object is to prove
that the exchange is injurious to either side. At this
moment railway construction is more active than ever
before known in America. It might pay an Atnerican t°
subscribe largely to secure a road that would enhance the
value of his property, or having confidence in the manage-
ment of a board and a knowledge of the ground over which
it was to pass, he might conclude that the stock was worth
more than Five-Twenty Bonds at the present price.
Nhf
then should not the bonds be converted into the rails an
material for the road, which might best be supplied fro°
England? If the English manufacturer takes Fiv°-
Twenty Bonds, and the American landowner gets the
rails, who can say that either has made a bad
change, and we venture to assert that such transaction.;
It
account for a vast proportion of the
discrepancY-
p'
true that the States will find themselves saddled With a
large foreign debt, but, with their population increase
the facilities of travel multiplied, the value of proeerti
raised, and the means in a great measure furnished by the
Five-Twenty Bonds, it will, at least, so far, be to the gene
and not to the loss of the Union. Much of the imports
more luxuries to gratify the palate, or to decorate ivornaU:
kind with silks and laces, which they could as lie
without. In such cases the Union loses, and Pu.
writers and speakers do their best to discourage these 111;
portations. They are thankful to the Times for the 8
