THE OPEEA.-Many of our fair readers are
impatiently awaiting the great musical treat
in store for them-the Opera Weary years
have passed since many Of us listened to the
voices of melting tenderness that blend with
pure and gentle musings, til the soul, COM
mingling with the melody, is borne, lapt aud
dissolved in ecstacy to purer and better land.
Yes, it seems ages; but we are TO sit again
in company with souls, where there is a SYM
patty with sound, and as the mind is turned,
the ear is pleased with melting airs, martial,
brisk or grave 1t will be to lis Il melancholy
pleasure to hear
''Sweet notes! that tell of former peace,
OF all that looked so raptu Gus then
Now withsr d-lost-"
But still we listen, listen and
''Dream the happy hours away"

COLLECTION OF TAXEs-We see, by the
proceedings of the City Council last night,
the City Collector is only allowed two
per cent for collections on back taxes due,
and to be collected f,r two years past. The
duty incumbent upon him to make these col
lections is Very onerous and requires the &C
tual necessity of employing responsible as
sistants We hardly see how il is possible for
him to do So with ~ small per c.ntage,
SO generously allowed by the intelligent
Finance Committee, who are men ot
thrift and economy Ii is to be hoped
that the Select Council will take into consile-
ration the urgent necessity of collecting these
back taxes before The cath Of June, the last
GscAl year, and allow The Collectors a reasona-
bic increase; to Justify him in securing the ser
vices Of responsible assistants. Men cannot
work for nothing and find tIlelaselvea even if
they are city officers No man can live on

COMO BACK TO SAILING SHms.-T The
United States Revenue Department seem to
consider steam revenue cutters as too expen-
siye. The six cutters built by them are very
beautiful vessels, the fi3est Of them all being
the MdhontTlg, constructed in this city, by Mr.
John W. Lynn. The Treasury Department has
ordered from Mr. Lynn two new sailing cutters,
the frames OF which are just assuming shape.
They were directed to be furnished in one hun
ored days. The Department has imbibed the
idea that, while steam cutters make very beau
uiul vessel, those propelled by sails will answer
every purpose, especially in time of peace. The
hChontng has worked so successfully, has
proved so fleet and so economical, that general
attention has been directed to her. French
and English and Russian officers have examined
her, and not few distinguished foreign rcpre
sentatives have visited the yard OF her builders
to make inquiry relative TO her proportions and
her model. But the Department seem to object
to tue expense OF the machinery and coal, as
general rule, and these two new cutters are TO
be built upon the clipper pattern, and to be
driven by sails. The specifications are furnished
by the Department. To the builder, in this case,
no discretion is allowed.
