New TELEGRAPHIC ARRANGEMENTS The tele-
graph lines of the New York and Newfoundland
Telegraph Company, extending from Port Hood to
st. Johns and Cape Race, n F., and from Sack
vile, N B., to Charlottetown, P. Elm all
about eight nine hundred miles in extent-have
been leased for term of years by the New York
Associated Press, and Mr.. A. NJ. Mckay, the past
and present excellent General Supernten dent of
the lines. The new arrangement goes into effect
on the lst of November next Much more ex-
tended arrangements are being made to intercept
the European steamers off Cape Race, with every
prospect OF obtaining news from large proportion
OF the passing steamers, which now number over
two hundred per annum from Europe. Arrange
ments are also in progress by which the CONNER
cial public will have greatly increased and more
reliable facilities for transacting European and
other business over the Newfoundla land line.
The OPERA.-Ernani was in the main well given
last night, and Madame Colson was positively
matchless. The deficiencies of the orchestra were
sensibly felt, but are assured that NJ Strakosch
has made every effort TO supply the necessary in
struments, but without success. Under the cir
cumstances, therefore, we can say nothing more.
Madame Coson achieved, despite all disadvantages,
a distinguished success, and called before the
curtain at the end Of each act, and twice at the
close Her rendering of the famous caratina in
the first act was superb, and both her sing
ing and acting in the finale, aroused the audience
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm The con
certed piece at the end of the third act was admi-
rably given, and produced an encore. Errani, who
was very Hat and cold in the early part of the even
ing warmed up as the opera advanced, and was
positively good at the close. NJ. Barili, as .Silra
was fair, and E. Barili, as the King, did very wei
as long as he adhered to the soto uoce but when he
exerted himself, his miserable fren,olo DESTROYED
everything.
For tonight the management announce
Donizettis opera, "H Poliuto," which was once
produced last spring with Colson, Stigelli and
Junca, and created so favorable an impression
that loud but unsuccessful demands were made for
Its repetition. 1t is founded upon Comedies
tragedy OF Poyeucte, and the music is we'll adapted
to the grave and religious character of the work
The overture, which is elaborate is after the style
OF Rossini In the first act there is beautiful aria
for tenor and magnificent cavatina for soprano
an Ega FtUa-in which Madame Colson, we are sure
VIII greatly distinguish herself. In the second
act the tenor has his grand solo, followed by a
scena in which Madame Coson will enact the priu.
clpa part. The finale of this act is a masterpiece
OF composition, comparing favorably with the cele-
brated dagger chorus in the Huguenots. The thirt
act is exceedingly fine and contains an aria for so
prano, which was so magnifcently sung by
Madame ColSon last season that she was compelled
to give it three times before her audience could be
satisfied. The demand for seats for tonight il
very great, and brilliant and fashionable audience
may be expected .....t
On Monday evening, the management, yielding
to universal desire, have rendered Madame Colsor
benefit when she will appear again in La Travi
alta. We hope the public will make her benefit a
substantial one.
HOLIDAY STREET SHEATRE.-Mr. Booth PLAYED
for his benefit to good house last night, with hi
usual force and success. He showed the versatility
OF his powers by performing the very opposit,
characters of Sir Ed,oard Mortimer and Petruchio
Tonight he repeats his PRESERVATION of Macbeth, il
which we like him better than in any part he ha
attempted during his present engagement
