| there is room for several times as many as have
come, for il is the purpose to set not less than two
thousand men TO work this winter, if they can be
had. The description of men most wanted are
quarTy-men and stone Inssons with a proportion
of ordinary labOrers. With these the object is
to do all that can be done i'm the winter time and
so 10 put the work III readiness for an army of
brcklayers and stone-masons all along the fine

accommodation of new corners are erecting
The CONCERT Of Signora Paravalli, at the
Academy of Music last night, was attended bv
the elite Of the city, including tue French Minis
ter and various other representatives of the for
eign legations. The debutante was warmly an
plauded throughout. Her execution is distin-
gulshed by its brilliancy and high degree of fin
Ism; and she Is composer of no mean preten-
sionS, as was testified by the programme OF last
night.
In concluding this notice we must not fail to
mention the acceptable manner in which the Sig
nora was supported by Mr.. Crouch. Forth irst
time We heard him sing Irish ballads and we
must do him the credit to say that his perform
ance OF them was the very best we ever listened
to.

-. r.. Pr calls our attention 20 the fact that
the new word g telegram was used in this city
years ago at the head of the telegraphic news
column Of the "American Telegraph, which
contended that it was proper term Another
correspondent says that il is an old Greek word
verify as Solomon says, there is nothing new
under the snu.
Nor So We mean the averment so confident
ly put forth somewhere by some calculating
somebody, that the stringency in the money mar
ket would have the effect to materially reduce the
price of provisions. On the contrary the ten
dency IS upward. We wish that calculator could
brlng US TO ''realizing sense'' Of the fulfiment
In that wish.
