TURE WAREHOUSE AND CABINET MANU-
FAcroRr.-On Wednesday last we had
the pleasure Of visiting this institution
and found it to surpass in magnitude and
completeness anything We had conceived
of as existing in this country. The ma
chinery was procured in Massachusetts,
and is of the best character, while every.
thing about the factory is arranged with
a view to economist both time ava labor.
In going over the premises our attention
was called to some of the articles just
worked off, wnen we were at once struck
with their beauty Of finish and just pro-
portions, and evident appearance Of du-
rabiii,y. The proprietors Of this estab-
lishment IRE gentlemen of reliability and
worth, and we predict for them in this
enterprising undertaking success COM
mensurate with tho grea. benefit it will be
to the country.

sJ We are Informed that an effort is
being made by the Episcopal Society to
pay off the debt which since
the erection Of their church has hung a
dead weight to its advancement Nearly
the amount necessary has been subscribed
BY faw Of those most deeply interested,
and if the ba lance could be made up by
small contribution from our liberal min-
ded people, the s. Thomas would be
consecrated, residen, minister secured,
and its flock be left no longer to wander
without shepherd to guide their erring

The Cincinnati I1nes has an Interesting edItO-
rial on the various theatres and opera houses
OF the world AS compared with Pixies Opera
House, recently DESTROYED by Ere. We copy:-
1.-THE late disastrous hre, in which the greatest
ornament OF our city was de. troyed has made
the subject OF lyric and dramatic theatres a
matter OF general public interest at The present
ume. The bu lding of the Opera House was an
enterprise far greater than any other ever un-
dertaken hv single citizen OF our city, and we
fear IL will forever remain unparalleled n its
history. As the erection OF a grand Opera
House will be a necessity for the future 1t
will perhaps be appropriate TO give some of
cipal theatres of the world. 1t is well known
that remarkable works o. this kind are now
rising at Paris and Rio Janeiro. These
structures are complete in every detail and fin
lsh, but are properly temples Of music; Tor, as
Is the case in several opera houses already con-
siructed in Europe, the portion devoted TO thea
tTiCai performances forms but a small part of
the contents. Then the new opera house at
Paris covers space Of five hundred feet lJng
other words, it is one hundred feet longer and
City feet wider than the entire halt block upon
which Pixies Opera House stood, as bounded by
Fourth, Vine, Walnut, and Baker streets. Yet
this great pa ace, costing as it is said over ffty
millions OF francs contains an auditorium in-
tended for the accomm )daton of only two thou
sand spectators. or American structures of this
Kind, the Philadelphia Academy of Music ap-
proaches nearest to the great opera houses OF
Europe, for its halls, retiring rooms, and
saloons are on a scale of magnitude worthy of
Imitation.
The following table gives the size of the
state and auditorium OF each of the great
theatres OF the world, the measurement being
taken each way nom the line of the curtaln:-

MUSIC FROM SToNEs.-M. Baudre, from Paris,
exhibited and played upon a remarkable mus-
cal instrument at the last meeting of the Royal
Institution in London. This instrument is com.
posed of twenty-nine stones, principally hints,
collected in the south of France, suspended and
80 arranged as to represent two and half
octaves, resembling those of the piano forte
The tones produced differed from those of any
other instrument. 1t is said that M. Baudre
spent five years in forming the collection of
stones.
