II might be premature ut present to erect build
ing for musical purposes scale as large as that
Of the Metropolitan Hall in New York, or Of the
largo concert rooms in Boston, Philadelphia, or
other cities. II is evident however, that we must
have extensive building for musical and operatc
purposes, il wish to keep pace with the progress
Of the age in such matters. We cannot expect
prominent members Of the musical profession, who
| can command almost their own prices in the At
lantc States, to undertake travelling SO fur as Ca
| lifoma, at great Inconvenience and expense, on
tho uncertainty OF getting q room large enough to
hold romunerating sum- and adapted acoustioally,
and in other respects for vocal performances. Tho
necessity for erecting some kind Of building al
ready exists. Madame Biscacciant, the celebrated
| cantatriec, is now ON her way to San Francisco.
She will be the pioneer Of great artists but we doubt
very much whether there is building in the city SO
constructed as to enable us to judge of her quality.
Which of our enterprisng capitalists will take the
| initiative in this matter!
Col. Berzccnxcy on his Way to the Magyar
Settlement In China.

Of the origin of the Magyar nation, where it

accounts Of DR.. Gutzlaw, S,sedc, and an

AT any rate by promoting the facilities Of the Colo

brethren ia The Atlantic States towards the Hunga-
