THE ITALIAN OPERA.

The performance of Don Giouanni-the grandest
OF all operas-at the Holiday Street, last evening,
caves us little to add to what we have already said
In commentator of the accomplished artists who
compose Mr.. uLLMAN's present troupe. PIccoLoM-
NI-whose immense popularity and present posi-
ton upon the lyric stage are, undoubtedly, owing
more to the fascination of her manners, than to any
extraordinary genius she can be said to possess as
an actress or merit as singer-was as coquettish,
as piqaants, and as perfectly bewitching as ever
FoRNEs, as Leporello, left nothing to be desired,
either in his acting singing-both being entirely
above criticism, and the former altogether free
from that tincture of buffoonery which, in the
hands of inferior artists, is apt to disfgure this
part. Mad'lle PoINsoT, whose voice we heard for
the first time, in the music assigned to the part of
Donna Anna, fully established her claim to the
possession of that rote; wn1le Madame GHIoNI Flo
RENzA, LoR1NI, and CoLLETTI-all acquitted them
selves in manner which was eminently satisfac-
tory to the audience. The lateness of the hour at
which the performance closed, prevents us from
taking notice more particularly of some portions
OF the opera which struck us as being especially
well rendered. The chorus, increased by the addi-
tion of the Liederkranz society of this city, was
better than on any previous night, and gave the
finale of the second act with great power and
effect.
To-day-with the performance of Norma at one
o'clock, closes our brief opera season-but only for
season, we trust. Madame LABoRDE appears in
this opera, and we advise all of our readers, who
have not heard her, to embrace the opportunity to
do so. Nothing can be more exquisite than her
singing-or exceed the melody of her voice, and
the perfection of her execution. She is unquestion-
ably of the greatest if not the greatest singer
upon the stage, and is moreover, an actress of
very high and decided merit.

Leaving as surplus profits. $50. 2l3. {

The receipts of the road show an increase over
those of 1851 Of $40 23, whilst there has been
decrease in the working expenses of 9.43 per
cent. on the gross income, as compared with the
expenses of the previous year. Such is, in brief,
the very favorable financial exhibit of the opera
tons of the road during the past twelve months;
and, although no promise has been held out to the
stockholders of the declaration of dividend at
an early day, the rapidity with which its connec-
tons have, of late been formed with the network
of railways extending to various points on the
Northern Lakes, and with the whole railway sys-
tenn of the North West, leads us to the inevitable
conclusion, that it needs but the adoption of
judicious policy, on the part of the Management
to render the road of immense advantage to the
business of the city, and lucrative to the Company
If it has not been SO up to the present Time it has
been owing, at least in part to the necessity that
existed, of constructing quite a number of small
links of railways the want of which presented
insuperable obstacles to direct and unbroken
line of communication with the Lake ports, and
with the rapidly expanding population of the
States of the North West. A reference 10 any
ordinary railway map will show, that, with the
exception of the approach to Erie these gaps have
been filled up, and that the shortest distance to be
traversed between the Lakes and the Seaboard is
by the Northern Central Railway and the roads with
which it connects. 1t is not little remarkable
that our merchants should, to all appearance have
lost sight of the fact that can, from central
position, present claims to the trade of the Great
Lakes and of the cluster of States upon their Dor
ders, superior in some respects to all that be
advanced by either New York or Philadelphia 1t
is nevertheless the fact that by the Northern Central
Railway and its adjuncts, we have been brought
nearer to the principal cities of Western New York
than those cities to the Metropolis of that State,
as the following table of distances, embodied in
the Annual Report to which we have already re-
ferred, will conclusively show:
From Baltimore to Via " c. r. Via " York. Distance
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-02-05

If, therefore, as between competing cities,
sideratons of time and distance govern the choice
of a market, it necessarily follows-other induce
ments being equal-that the shortest route will be
preferred. There is certainly no reason why the
products of Western New York should not pass
directly to Baltimore for consumption or shipment
as well as the Beef and Grain of Chicago and the
West; nor can there be any doubt that we are
as capable of furnishing those points with the
commodities they need in return quite as cheapy as
they can be had in New York But if we leave
out of the question of competition the interior
towns of the Empire State and turn our attention
solely to the trade ofthe Great Lakes and that of the
immense region which they drain, similar compa-
rson of distances will prove that all the advantages
are in our favor while the magnitude of the trade
should act stimulus to induce US to devote our
best energies towards securing at least a portion
of it to ourselves. 1t deserves to be understood
that the nearest and most reliable route from New
York and Phadelphia-both to the Lake Ports
and to the North Western States-is by way of
Harrisburg and Elmira, and that the distance from
both of the latter points TO Baltimore, New York
and Philadelphia constitutes the relative difference
in distance to all the places reached by lines of
railway running North and Northwest. Thus esti-
mated, Baltimore is nearer than New York 10 the
Lake cities by some one hundred and twenty miles
and nearer than Philadelphia by about thirty-six
miles. Buteven assuming that the distances to be
traversed were the same, the immense trade of the
Northern Lakes-equal in point of annual value
to the whole foreign commerce of the United States
demands more than one outlet to a market New
York is conscious of this, and finding her noble
canal already crowded with freight to its utmost
capacity, is now increasing its dimensions,
and adding, by the use of steam, to the speed of
the boats that pass through it.
Several years ago it stated that ''nearly all
"the most profitable roads are those which point
"directly TO the Lakes" That such roads are
destined to become so-whatever they may be at
the present tme-can scarcely admit of a reasona-
BILE doubt. But, much of this prospective success
depends upon the amount of energy displayed by
the merchants of the sea-board termini, in Guilt
waiting commercial relations with the business men
OF the INTERIOR and still more, perhaps, upon the
line of policy pursued by the Management of the
various roads, and the condition in which those
roads are kept So far as the Northern Central
Railway is concerned, we have every reason to
hope, from the materiel of which the new Board of
Directors is constituted, that many judicious re-
forms upon the old system will be introduced and
that the measures which it is said will be adopted
to encourage way travel, will not be less liberal
than the facilities extended to through freight and
passengers.
