"a To the person purchasing and presenting
the largest number OF tickets, or taking the
largest number of persons with him, to the Po-
lopticomorama 70 night, will be presented a
magnificent goldband China tea set of IA pieces,
worth about S35. We have no doubt that the
Hall will be perfectly crammed by eager COM
petitors for so splendid prize, especially so,
when the fortunate (or rather liberal) winner will
secure it with small sacrifice. This present,
it will be remembered. is in addition to all the
other valuable articles which are given away at
every exhIbi ion.
The entertainment itself. independent of the
chances of securing some of these valuable gifts,
is we'll worth repeated visits Commencing with
the evacuation of Fort Moultrie by Major An

spectator most of the leading features OF the

surrenders by hauling down her flag The Fed
eral ram Monitor then arrives and engages with
the Merrimac. which she drives beyond SewalPs
Point. This is perhaps the most interesting
scene in the exhibition. The ships actually
move; the cannonading is carried on hotly and
severely, and after a struggle OF over ten minutes
duration the Merrimac becomes the conqueror,
and the scene closes amid the booming of can

Underground railroads.

The New York Evening Post earnestly favors
the tunnelng OF Broadway for "A line OF railroad
from the Bowling Green to the Central Park, a
bill to effect this having been introduced in the
New York Legislature.
1.-The undertaking appears Formidable but any
one who has been in London within "A year or
two need not he told that il can be done, with
profit to the city and to the company. The mar
row and crooked streets OF London are not fit to
have railroad tracks laid down on them An in
genious engineer had already constructed rail
road from the city to Blackwall running over
the tops of the houses, and trains draw good
speed by stationery engines; and at last it oc
Cured 10 some one tO run tunnel under the
street. and lay an iron track in that. Thorough
trial has proved this be- the whole, the safest
pleasantest, cheapest plan-the greatest relief TO
the over-crowded streets and the most success
full of all that have been tried, for the conve-
NANCE of trade and passengers.
There is at present in London tunnel road
five miles long. connecting harrington street
with Paddihgton station; double track is laid !,
and the company has already carried about FIVE
millions of passengers The tunnel is thorough
" ventilated. dry. well lighted. and in every way
comfortable; to ride through i, is very much like
walking through one of the great store cellars of
n Broadway dry goods house The rate of speed
attained s twenty miles per hour Entrance and
exit stations are provided at short intervals. a
staircase leading to the street above.
"The success of the Underground Railway in
London has been so decided that Parliament has
chartered companies who intend to surround the
city with tunnel roads, and connect all the RAIL
way stations. liz il said that twenty millions
sterling have already been subscribed toword this
vast enterprise The cost of tunneling and lay
ing the track ready for operation is about mil
lion dollars per mile"

The popular mind is abused. to great extent,
with false idea OF the true value in gold of n
dollar OF our present circulating medium Many
persons who have noticed gold quoted at for in
stance, sixty per cent premium. were OF the
opinion. probably. that their dollar greenback
was worth only iorty cents in gold That this
notion is erroneous is easily proven. A dollar
gold piece. when worth 90 per cent more than
dollar Treasury note. is evidently worth 100
l6Uths OF the gold dollar or 62ls in gold Con
sequently. with one dollar in Treasury paper you
can purchase 62lac in gold. The proof of this
l., that 62l &C plus 90 per cent ofitsef. 81 &C.
is equal To one dollar. W. think this estimation
will considerably enrich. in their estimation. many
persons who think that when gold is at so per
centum premium their dollar in Treasury curren
CIV Is worth only ~ cents in the precious metal
The following table showing the precise value of
paper in gold, with the latter at various points of
premium, may be of interest to many:
