TIE TELEGRAPH TO THE Pacific The people
and the press want line Of telegraph TO the
Pacific. That is fixed fact. They want it,
too. in the quickest time in which il is possible
that it can be constructed. In this, however,
they may be disappointed. The project Of
uniting the railroad with the telegraph we have
already alluded to, and denounced. because we
thought the building Of the telegraph ought not
to be made dependent on the construction of a
railroad. There is no good reason why the
country should suffer, for ten or twelve years,
the Inconvenience and embarrassments which
a telegraph can obviate, because spectators
want to grasp two monopoies at once. The
building Of the telegraph, as an isolated project,
is the work comparatively, of day. We can
tell, within some degree of certainty, just when
the last finishing touch can be put to it, and
when the first message may he sent over its
wires. But join it to another contemplated pro-
ject-makc 1t the mere bob to railroad kite
and it would he hardly safe to prophecy the
time of its completion.
The railroad and the telegraph projects,
therefore; must be separated The two enter

SoNTAG AS RosrNA BARBER SEvIIE-Last
evening performed at Nibo's that most amusing of
all italian operas, The Barber Of Seville" which
bnes of the most sparkling the most lively and the
most gay, of the music of Rossni, with extremely
funny hbretto full Of action and comic humor. This
highly popular OPERA under ordinary circumstances,
generally draws good house in New York; but with
Madame Sontag for Rosna the house might well be
pected to be crowded Owing to the rain it not
crammed on the previous evening, out il well fill
ed with highly respectable and fashionable audience.
And here cannot help remarkng that great at
traction as Madame Sontag undoubtedly is, there is
something the reputation character and standing Of
Nblos beautiful theatre that greatly assists to bring
together such audiences night after night There an
other of Sontags success-it is the superior
in which she is supported by other artists But the
chief is in herse-her rank and history her lady
like appearance, her elegant and disngue MANNER her
charming person. her exquisite grace her dramatic pow
sr-whether in comedy tragedy-but, above ALL her
splendid accomplishments vocalist of the first rank.
In this opera much depends on Figaro as R6sina,
and Badal acted and sung the part OF the Barber with
vast effect Pozzoni, too, as the Count and Rocco
Dr. Bartoo, most efficient But the great star of
the night Sontag herself. Her perception of the
udcrous keen, and the ARCH sly in which she
expressed it, "told perceptiby upon the audience
Her singing very beautiful particularly in the
G0vituri passages. There a SCIENCE finish per-
fecton and purity, that called forth the plaudts
OF every person possessed of taste in the gentle art Her
accurate vocalzaton her admirable method her intona

best manuacturer-all proclaimed her the great artist
which she has been to be by competent
in the Old World ard the New. Between the acts she
sang Eckert's beautiful Swiss song-in which she
encored with enthusiasm-and also Scotch ballad, In
which she applauded Paul Julien too, contributed

Reform in the Navy.
TO TIE EDITOR or TIE HERALD.

Nsw YosK, Dec. 3, 1853.
In your paper Of this date appears article under
the above heading, in which are developed some of
the to which are 70 be attributed the present
inefliccncy of our navy. The subject has agi ated
the public mind for some tine, and our citizens are
now being reused to the absolute necessity of this
much needed reform. One thing, however seems to
have escaped the attention Of those who Of ate hav
written on the subject; the importance of which wi
not be denied by any one whose meatal vision Ia
not been impaired by fogyism.
1t is an undsputed and indsputable fact that on
present naval contractors equal in talent and sbl
ty to any in their profession. If it be asked, why,
them are our vessels of war inferior in model and sail
ing qualities 60 our mercantile marine ?" The an
swer is simple The fault lies wholly in the existing
,ys,em. The naval contractors have not, nor have
icy ever bad, opportunity to exercise their si
in naval architecture. Instead Of entrusng to them
as is the case when Q merchant desires vessel
bult-the modelling and entire supervision Of the
vessel, they are the mere superintendent of the
" X, and are expected to carry out other mans
ideas, no matter what may be the faults attached.
rhe models and plans are forwarded to the different
stations rom Washington and the tenor OF their in
ktrnctions thus far shalt thou 20 aud no farther"
This course OF proceeding is radically wrong Add
until the entire system Is changed, 1t Is to be feared
that very little progress viii be made in ths models
or sailing qualities Of government vessels Let
an opportunity be afforded to our naval contractors
to exercise their skill in modelling and planning the
vessels hereafter to be built, and then We win know
who il responsible As things are at present constr.
tuted, the responsibility rests nowhere, and the con-
sequence u.s. that vessels Of war; which ehould be
the pride aud boast Of every citizen, are standing
libel on position as the first maritime power OF
the earth. Let rs have reform in this point ct least
and then man our YES els with picked men, nd
place in charge officers worthy both TO their ideas
and physical capacity, to command.
