On The resolution that tie Controller should pay
the Street Inspectors their Salaries:
NJ, CoyovER said that al the time 81, 900 were
amor mated BY the Board OF Health TO clean the
sfreefs INSPECTORS for each Ward were appointed
rnder the direction Of the City Inspector, whose duty
was 20 see that the streets we're cleaned. When this
was done, the Inspectors who had been paid 50 per
dsy were retained in Office under the COmmissiOner
of Streets and Lamps Mr. Glazier the City lnspec-
tor having returned TO bis regular duties IL was
question whether Mr. Glszier should see that the con-
tracts were carried oat, as be was bound 10 DO or
whether the expense should be ssddled on the people
TO pay Ward Inspectors larger sum for what Mr.
Glszier should do himself
Mr. JAcKsOx eontended that the money due the In
spectors should he paid to them.
Other members Of the Board took the same view
The subject was laid over under the rules.

THE OPERA.

An immense audience was in attendance last even
ing at Castle Garden, the second presentation of
the opera Of Norma, Mr.. Arditi led like q master,
and the first act which alone heard, received
with general and ever-rsiDg applause, up till the fall
Of the curtain when the principals called before
it TO receive special ovation.
The first chorus splendidly given-Susinis
solo bits included. Marios air was rendered with an
energy which caused him to be brought out a second
time before the audience. So, too, the cavatina of
Mad. Grisi received an equal compliment. Miss
Donevan sang better than on the first night She
has decided talent round clear sympathetic voice
and only needs more experience. The tri) at the
close Of the first act is rendered last night GER
tsinly he grandes; thing yet heard the operate
stage in this country. Literally perfect in musical
declamatory writing, Belni has given ideas which
constitute the majority Of the components Of
on the stage; and added to this-Mad Grsi being
equalled in Its interpretation-nothng wanting
for a sublime conclusion to the act.
The audience lest night three times as large as
any that Madame Grisi ever appeared before at the
italian opera in Paris, and twice large as any OF
London. The private box system, it maybe remarked,
Of the European houses prevents any depth to the
boxes each holding only some four persons. SO with
many tiers and large house, comparatively few are
accommodated. The open, democratc-like boxes or
benches Of Castle Garden, and indeed Of all our
theaters give them advantages in holding numbers
over the most famous thesters Of Europe. Even
Nibo's contains thousand persons more than the
great Acadfmie of Paris and the new opera house in
Irving place holding between four and five thousand,
has no rival of its kind in Europe while the theater
about to be openedust built on the site Of the late
Metropolitan Hall-wll accommodate between three
and four thousand. So in point OF great theaters,
New-York has DO eiual in Europe or the world.
The people have found out the yastness Of Mr..
Hackets undertsking-in giving Italian Opera, with
artists superior to any now in Europe-and begin to
understand the vast inferiorty, artistcaly consd'
ered Of concert singing, to the great conception Of
part like that of Norma by Madame Grisi. The
scenery of Castle Garden cannot be good; but that
apart, there is nothing row there which may not
challenge criticism. The chorus is the beseverheard
on the stage in the City; and the orchestra is at once
the most select accurate and refined which has yet
played here in Opera. We have no fault to find with
the Opera except certain vulgar bucheres of the mu-
sio taxt

SANDWICH ISLANDS ANNEXATION.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Sept. l3, 1854.
II is true that Mr. Gregg, Commissioner to the

The Treaty Of 0nneration is adapted, Mr.. Gregg
reports, by King Ksmebameha and his Council, and
Mr. Gregg forwards the proect here.

nent Of annexation originated the plan of submitting
