The CONCERT TO SrsNoR CAsoLAsr.-

IHY CONCERT To SluNOh OAsOLANi.
This festival passed of brilliantly last evening. The
saloon of Niblo's was filed with a most aPplsusive
audience and the continued encores and oppressive
heat of the drove US away long before the pro-
pramme was completed Like all such concerto It was
too much of ola podrda to afford much satisfaction
hut the artists did admirably far heard except
Madame BoucheIe who sung Caad Dica In a more IN
effective manner than ever remember to have heard
IL The finest singers in the prime of their power have
senoved all their forces upon this aria and every ar
,;t who undertakes it should remember that 1t requires
something more than knowledge of the score The
nleassntest performance heard was the quartette
from Rossini by Dodworths Serenade Band The de-
lcous wind instruments seemed to be invoking spring
In their strains and upon the unanimous played
BATH Jani from Don Giordnnt Mr.. Iimm, always In
valuable upon these occasons, was as quietly en- c've
as ever We were sorry not to be able 70 near ognor
Bassini but his performances which we have already
heard, assure of his undoubted success On the
whole the concert must be considered hattering both
to the beneficiary and the artists
BA gentleman of our City, of high NOR
al worth, intelligence, and who has once made the tour
of Western Europe and who has travelled extensively
in this country expects to sail in the Atlantic OF the tn
May, for general tour through Europe, Turkey, Syria
his company too very excellent young men, sons of well
known business men of this City, who go out for i'm
proveen rather than pleasure third would be taken
into the party equal terms with the others, provided
application be made soon The party to travel with
view to economy well TO intellectual and moral
cultivation He refers to exMsyor Havemeyer, at the
Bank of North America or the Editor of The Tribune
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DEsIGN.-Ihe
rooms of the Exhibition were thronged Wednesday
evening which Is understood to be a regular weekly
occasion for the renon of the artists and their friends
The opportunity thus afforded for social intercourse
under the pleasantest auspices happy thought of
the Academy, and will prove less beneficial to the
friends it assemblies than to the interests of the
hbition. We glad to remark unusual interest in
the pictures this season which the situation of the
80 favorable for an elegant resort undoubtedly helps to
promote.
THE FIVE POINTS MIssION.-We have
already mentioned that the " Old Brewery" has been
purchased for the use of the Mission the Five Points
The entire purchase money must be paid on Saturday
next and IL $4,000 At meeting OF the Lade; and
Advisory Committee Monday, it was ascertaned that
the subscriptions amountedto s3600 most of which had
been collected The friends of the Mission will per
ceive that about $4,000 of the required amount reman
yet be made up. The calls upon the public having
thus far been cheerfuy and literally responded to-
we cannot doubt that the deficiency will be speedily sub
scribed
AN EARTHQUAKE.-Justb before l o'clock
yesterday afternoon, some sensitive persons remarked
a peculiar shaking or tremor which was apparently
without and although few suggested the probab
y of earthquake, the idea was not popular In the
evening, however their sagacy was fully proved by
the teegraphc account of very sensible shock at Balh
and Washington, which was beyond doubt of the
genuine earthquake stripe and which occurred at tn.
same moment of the small shake in New-York. So we
may safely boast of our earthquake which may be set
down as the final recalcitration of Old Winter
n Some ten days ago we copied from
an Albany paper an account of Flying Speed" on the
Harlem road by an Albany train, having at the time
impression that the statement could not be correct Up
on inquiry learn that the speed which the train
brought into New-York, as follows:
From Copake to Purdy's.......58 5-lOO 4s
From Purdy's to I'D st........ .46 45-lOO Il
Making. ............lO5 1900 9
Showing unusual speed for the purpose of making
up lost time and perilous disregard of the safety of
the train We informed that IS miles per hour for
regainng time is the highest speed allowed by the regu
latons of the Company.
