TIE ACADEMY OF Music We visited this
popular place Of amusement last night about
8 o'clock, with the intention of staying but a

ably. The zayistowslis held their own, not
withstanding the new arrival Of several Young.

beloved Of all the children of New Orleans
each and every one worthy the price Of admis-
sion. Never have we seen anything on the
stage more perfect in all its parts, or more
ludierous, than the school scene, in which
hart plays the pedagogue. The pit parterre
and boxes were convulsed with laughter,
whilst the colored population, in the sphere
above, looked on in grim but suggestive
silence-the scene was too true to nature to
suit their fancy, and their experience with the
Yankee school mar1ns was too closely repre-
scented to be aught but painful and mortify-

surely the masterpiece of that prince of testers

The UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIyER-LIn prouen1 ent
of the RapidS-The St. Louis Republican has
very interesting report from W. H. Cupp and Jas.
+. Griffith to the chairman of the committee on
the Improvement of navigation Of the Upper Mis-
sissippi river. They report that they met Mai.
Gen. James Ell. Wilson, by appointment, at Keo-
kuk, on the 18th ult; learning from him that he
intends making thorough survey SO soon as the
stage of water, then unfayorable, permits his ad-
4 vantageously completing the investigation and
| work placed in his charges proposing to plan out
! Two or more modes OF procedure, as well as cost
| OF needed Improvements; especially intending to
| thoroughly investigate every plan which may be
proposed for improving the rapids that eyinees
any merit; adopting none till well convinced it is
all things considered, the best which can be de-
ylsed; and by canaling from head to foot, attain
ing width of not less than 800 feet water pass
age, with two lifts Of twin locks so that all pur-
poses of navigation be fully served, now and in
time to come. By this mode an immense water
power, available for manufacturing purposes,
will be attained.
The other mode is by improving the natural
channel by means of blasting, draining, ETC..
making broad, easy, curves where abrupt points
or curves now exist, all unnaVigable chqnnels
now existing to be filed up or blocked over
throwing out wing dams with a broad base and
sufficiently easy to slope to permit ice being car
RED over them without tearing them from their
base; the dams being calculated at low water to
throw the great body Of water into the nayigabe
channel; mainly to make broad, easy curves
where the current has any tendency to make a
sharp, rapid pitch over the outcropping lodges;
to lengthen as much as is advisable the course of
the main channel by sweeping curves, that the
water, being retardedin rapid flow may be banked
up, thereby increasing the depth in the channel
IL IS proposed to throw out dams opposite Keo-
kuk, and at the crossing from Nauvoo to Mon
trose; the points of all wing dams infringing on
the channel to be buoyed out the whole
calculated to render navigation uuobstructed
save by increased velocity Of current, as at any
ordinary portion Of the river. The fall of water
beng some twenty-three feet in twelve miles, ii
may be possible to attain four feet in the channel
at the lowest stage Of water without increasing
the velocity of the current more than maximum
o. hve miles per hour. Ills proposed, as soon as
the progress Of the work renders it advisable.
that the merchants of st. Louis appoint civil en-
gineer to consult on the feasibility and accuracy
OF the plans. Furthermore, request is made
that the Union Merchants Exchange furnish a
statement of imports, EXPORTS and commerce
genaraly on the Upper Mississippi river for 1866,
that report to the authorities at Washington NAV
embody and make known the immense traffic trans,
acted on these waters.

First-Since the beginning of certain oper-

been frequently called to the Tuleries, where
tbey have dined couple of times Most of
the times they went there in company of
Prince Napoleon, whose policy is now identi-
cal with that of his cousin, Louis Napoleon

Rhine Provinces agree in stating that most Of
the fortresses in that region are actually de-

that no step has been taken to put them in
state of defence The soldiers who were COM
posing the garrison have been sent into active
service and replaced by men belonging to the
last ban of the Landhwer, that is to say, by
men 40 and 80 years old.
