But besides these we are to have an 1nfidel Con-
vention "a Socialist Convention an Abolition
Convention in favor Of dissolution Of the Union
"a Mormon Convention-and Conventions of ell
sorts and compilations for the reformation Of the
world, the revolution of established opinion, and
the propagation of new theories of society. religion
and philosophy. David Hale's millennium will be
more beatific this year than ever. We will, as
usual, give to all these movements appropriate
space in our chronicles of the times.
THE GEOLOGICAL CONVENTION AT NEw HAVEN
We would desire some of the students at New
Haven, to give full and accurate report of the
doings Of the Geological Convention about to
assemble at that pleasant seat of learning and phi
losophy. We will pay handsomely for such re-
port, which want in addition to that to be fur
nished by ous own corps of reporters, because we
regard this Convention, called and directed by the
presiding genius of Silliman, one of the greatest
biologists of the age, and Of the leading spirits
of New England, as a very important affair.
THEATRIcALs-THE PARK.-The Seguins COM
menced their engagement: last night at the Park,
and were welcomed by one Of the most splendid
houses we have seen since the season of the TIA
liam Opera. Every part Of the house was crowded
to suffocation. The Bohemian Grip was re.
ceived with great appreciation. Most of the airs
have now become universal favorites. and elected
far more enthusiastic applause than when the opera
was first produced here. The encores were much
more enthusiastic and frequent. Frazer sings
infinitely better than he did, and Mrs. Seguin never
acquitted herself with more eclat. She looked and
sung charmingy. On the fall of the curtain the
Seguins were loudly called for, and received the
hearty applause Of the crowded and brilliant house
The opera will be repeated to- night.

MUsIcAL.-Borghese, RicCi, and the portion oil
the Italian troupe who have been recently perform
ing at New Orleans, are about to proceed 10 Mexi
CO, where no doubt good harvest awaits them
De Begins was offered an engagement by them,
but declined on account Of his arrangements in
this city He has an agent at present in Italy, col
lecting troupe, and intends to re.establish the
Opera here next winter on grand scale
A movement is also on foot to procure Palmo's
theatre next season for Pico and Sanquirico, the
latter being also at work in the collection of ma
terias for an operate company.
The Borghese troupe may also, very probably, be
here next season. We have thus the prospect of
plenty of Opera. Simpson is also preparing for a
brilliant campaign. He will bring over ballet
from Europe and altogether, next season will
give us. we have all reason to believe, splendid
variety of theatrical and operatic amusement.
MADAME OrTo's CONCERT THIS EVENING The
grand complimentary concert for the benefit OF
Madame Otto is to be given at the Tabernacle this
evening" The programme is attractive in the
highest degree. Pico, DE Begins, Sanquirico, the
fair beneficiary herself, and host Of talent besides,
Will make the entertainment one of the most
agreeable ever presented to the people Of this city
Madame Otto Is deservedly great public favorite
Her services have always been cheerfully rendered
in the sacred cause of charity, and we are sure
that the concert tonight will evince how highly
she appreciated both as an artist and generous
hearted woman.

members of Congress. So far as heard from, the

bers OF Congress is known almost to certainty.
