A MERIToRIoUs APPEAL-A concert will be
given to night at Metropolitan Hall by Mrs E. L.
DICKINSON, who we learn, is very accomplished
and esiimable lady, and native of Virgins. She
enigrated with her husband, DR.. Dickinson. to the
Southwest, where he died, and she comes back in
reduced circumstances with family to maintain.
This she hopes to do by her musical attachments;
and her concert tonight is partly TO introduce
herselfto the public and partly to recruit her
means. We are sure many thousands have been
bestowed on less accomplished strangers, who had
no claim to sympathy, and possibly, none to re-
spect. We trust that, presenting the strong ap
peal she does, she will be cheered by large audi

o. The prosecuting attorney at In
dianapolis has filed an information to
annul the organization Of the Central
Railroad Company, which has been in
existence many years, and which pro-
posed the construction Of road directly
West from indianapolis, through the
counties of Hendricks, Putnam, Parke
and Vermillion, thence through Illinois.
The company has had large subscrip-
tons to its stock in lands and cash, in
the counties through which it runs, and
it was about to dispose of these lands
and husband its resources till more pro-
pitious times for Railroad enterprises,
when it would 60 forward with its work.
The ground taken to dissolve the COM
pany is that its original organization was
not in conformity to law. 1t is probable
that some Of the stockholders who have
subscribed their lands, now repent the
act, and instigate these proceedings to
break up the company and get their
lands back. 1t will probably be an
abortiye effort.
