| THE CoNoERT,-Much to the qualification of
an appreciatiye audience, was the entertain
ment, last evening, by Madame Biscaccianti
and other musical artists, at Mechanics Hail.
| With many others, we remember with pleas
ure the delightful operate and concert per-
formances of "other days." in which the daugh-
ter Of Ostinelli was the bright particular star,
and it was equally agreeable to have an oppor-
tunity to revive these recolections so pleasant
ly in our musc-loving city.
The programme embraced variety of ex-
cellent selections, mostly operate, for the sew
eral performers, vocal and instrumental Mrs.
HARDWOOD, well known and favorite vocalist
from Boston, sang, with much expression and
artistic skill, ariaS from Meyerbeer's Robert
lie Diable'' and ole Prophetic" pleasing
| Scotch ballad, and also with Madame Biscac-
cianti, performed most admirably Duet from
'Il Giuramento," of Mercadante. Solos for
! the piano, were given with much effect, and in
good taste, by the accomplished pianist, Carl
Weise.
Our talented prima donna, of whom we have
occasion to bejustly proud, by reason of her for
mermusical successes, was most cordially receiv-
ed and applauded on her appearance, last even
ing. In her several performances Madame Bis
cacciantifully confirmed her high reputation, as
one of the best vocalists ever in this country,
and gave universal satisfaction by her superior
rendering of Romanza from Rigoletto,"
the charming aria, 90 luce di quest anima,"
substituted for the "Skyark" and the ever
welcome Serenade" by Schubert. In the
latter piece, she was very well accompanied on
the yioloncello, by her husband Signor Bis
caccianti. In answer to an encore, we were
favored with Sweet Home"
| We have reason to congratulate all who at
tended this delightful concert, and to acknowl
edge our Indebtedness to artists of such supe-
rior merit,-contributing so much to our en-
tertainment, and reminding us of some of the
most agreeable recollections of Lang Syne"

SAD AccIDENT.-As several boys were
coasting on the road leading up to the Catho-
lie College, in South Worcester, Tuesday af-
ternoon, one of them, named Ewins, fell from
his sled and was run against with great force
by one of his playmates, who was sliding just
behind him Ewins received severe blow
upon his head, though it is hoped it will not
prove fatal He was helpless when he was
taken home.
Serious complaint has been made on ac.
count of the coasting in the streets in various
parts of the city. To break up the inconve-
nient and mischievous practice, the police were
compelled to march up platoon of boys with
their sleds, to the police Office, last evening"
but they were released on the promise to re-
turn this morning The boys should go into
the fields, if they must slide, and make coastng
roads for their ethan Aliens" and 'Flying

Balance of Earnings for the year, $11, 726 06
The great depression in all branches of en-
terprise during the year, somewhat affected the
business of the road. The total receipts of the
road, in 1857, were 500, 1928 81, against $780,
127 65 in 1858. But this reduced income of
the road has been more than offset by the de-
crease in the cost of operating the road, making
the net income of the year ending Nov, 80,
1858, S2,311 20 over that of the year 1857.
The last two months of the year 1858, how
ever, show an improvement in the earnings,
corresponding with the general improvement
in the business of the country, and giving as
surance of better state of things the current
year
The annual meeting of the Corporation, for
the choice of Directors and other business,
will be held at Brnley Hall, in this city, to-day.

VIOLENCE AND BLOOD SHED-PARTIAL
SUCCESS OF THE REF0RMERS.
BALTIMoRE, Oct. 1.-THE election in this city
for municipal officers was held to day, but moi
without repetition of some of the disgraceful pro
ceedngs which have characterized so many pre-
yious occasions of the kind. There was consider
able excitement during the day, and serious dis.
turbances occurred at several of the polls.
In the Ninth Ward the Reformers were attack
ed and driven entirely away from the polls, al
about O'Clock this afternoon, and the candidate
of the Reform party for that Ward withdrew his
name in disgust.
In the Thirteenth Ward serious collision oc-
Cured between the two parties, ard several were
seriously injured.

of the Reform party, had his cheek-bone crushed
by terrible blow with club, and is suffering
severely from the wound.
The nominee of the Reformers in that ward was
defeated
In the tenth ward, the Reformors achieved q
great triumph.
So far as the result can be estimated from the
unofficial and incomplete returns, thus far recev
ed it is believed that the Americans have carried
twelve wards and the Reformers seven.

The TRIENNIAL EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
This body convened, on the 5th inst, in
St. PauPs Church, Richmond, Va. It is
composed of two houses-the House of Bish.
ops and the House of Clerical and Lay Dep.
uties. The upper house consists at present
of about 81 members, aud the lower about
$50, clerical and lay equally; four of each
from every diocese.
This session of the General Convention il
an extremely interesting one, in many par
ticulars. One of its duties is to pass upon
the credentials of no less than four Bishops
elect: Rev. DR.. Odenheimer, of New Jersey;
Rev. DR.. Bedell, of Ohio; Rev. DR.. Gregg,
of Texas; and Rev. DIR Whippie, of Mime,
sofa. This will probably be among the
earliest business of the Convention, so as to
allow the conservation Of the New Bishops
to takC place Immediately, and thus enable
ohem to take part in the proceedings of the
session.
A number Of emminent gentlemen from
all parts Of the country are present as Law
delegates. Hon. Geo. s. Yerger and Hon.

II. J. TH0MAS-THE SPEAKERSHIP OF THE
NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
We extract from the Mssissippiah, and publish
below, Communication suggesting the selection
Of the Hon. Hiram j. ThOn as, Of this county,
for Speaker of tho next House of Representatives.
We heartily approve the suggestion, and hope
that the honor of the position may be conferred
on him. No better selection, We believe, could
be made His long experience in the public SER
vice as member Of the House, his intimate
acquaintance with the varied interests of the
State, his familiarity with parliamentary rules
and usages, his unadulterated States Rights
Democracy, dignifed bearing, excellent social
qualities and manners, render him peculiarly fit
and qualified for the distinguished office which
"a Member" and Yazoo county claim for him.
EDITOR OF THE MIsstssIPpIAN.-ST: AS the
Legislature will soon assemble, desire through
your columns, to suggest the selection of Hon.
Hiram ], Thomas, of Yazoo, for presiding officer
Of the next House of Representatives
To those who were members Of the last Legis-
lature, and are therefore well acquainted with
this gentleman your correspondent feels that it
would be supererogative to recommend him. Often
called to the Chair by the late Speaker, always,
even under circumstances the most difficult, he
conducted the proceedings of the body with mark
ed skill and precision. To a complete knowledge
parliamentary law, acquired by long experience
as legislator, he joins remarkable promptness
and decision, and to these essentials of good
officer he adds pleasant address and flowing
courtesy.
As the services of an efficient Speaker are in
dispensable to the prompt dispatch of business,
| have ventured to bring forward the name Of
Mr.. Thomas, and to commend it to the favorable
consideration Of the members.

than ever before. The Institution is under thu
Presidency of the Rev. DR.. Thomas II. Capers
nephew of the late Bishop Capers, of South Caro-
lima, assisted by Rev. DR.. D. F. Capers, brother
of the late Bishop Capers, as Vice President
The Mathematical Department is in charge o
Professor j I. Hicks, graduate of Chapel Hill
North Carolina and unsurpassed in his depart
ment by any professor of Mathematics in thu
South. The Musical Department is under tn,
charge of Dr. Elwig, Of Germany, one of the bes
educated and thorough musicians in the Unite,
States, aided by competent assistants
The Institution is entirely Southern in its charac
ter-located in the north east corner of Claiborne
county, Miss, in one of the most healthy regions
Of the State-in the midst of an intelligent ant
wealthy population-away from all towns, ant
exempt from the usual temptations to extrava
ganee, folly and fashion.
1t has the largest and finest apparatus for the
illustration of Astronomy, Chemistry, Botany
Physiology and History, with the largest and
finest Telescope Of any Female Institution in the
United States.
The object of Gen, Mitchclrs agency is to col.
lect females sufficient to enlarge the Buildings &C
as to accommodate three hundred and fifty
students, instead Of one hundred, as at present

library, sc.
Gen. Mitchell assures us, that having been d
teacher himself for twenty years, and having thor
Oughly examined the rules regulations and dici-
pline of the Southern Female College, he can,
with perfect confidence, recommend it to the
Southern people as worthy of their patronage,
and its faculty unequdlcd by any female institu-
ton in the United States.
Gen. Mitchell will remain in tfis city for few
days, and cnll upon our citizens in whose liberal
ty he has entire confidence 10 solicit donations
for the objects above stated. THE cause of edu-
cation, and especially of female education in the
South, should meet with encouragement at the
hands of all true southern men, and we know of
no opportunity more appropriate for its exhibi
ton than by subscribing in aid Of the Southern
Female College.
We take pleasure in commenting Gen. Mitchell
and the cause in which he is enlisted, to the ia
vorable consideration of our citizens
