MARKET REPoRTs.-It is an exceedingly
difficult matter, in this city, to furnish
market reports to the complete satisfaction
ofan In the absence of Board of Trade,
there must always be conflict of opinions
as to ruling rates. It is our object to make
this report as nearly correct as possible, in
the absence of such assistance as the Board
of Trade would give; yet, we are sure that
it will be impossible to present this matter
in such manner that all will look upon
itas fTactionally correctin every particular.
The reports are corrected with the greatest
care, having in view the conflicting opin-
ions of different dealers. The Importance
of a Board of Trade can not be gailisayed,
neglect it as our merchants may. 1t is
more and more apparent every day, and so
long as our city is without a live Mer-
chants Exchange, our merchants and
traders win experience great inconve-
nience in q hundred different ways. To
retail traders in other places, we would say
that the market reports, as givea in'this
paper, are as nearly correct as they can be
made by care, and by comparison OF opin-
ions of various wholesale dealers.

pB- We are informed that there are but
$4,000 feet of gas pipe in the city of Evans
vile, and that in many places the pipe is
doubled; that is, 1t is laid on both sides of
the streets. In his estimate of pipe for
water works for the city of Newport, KY,
Mr.. jeffrey states that 1t would require
Al 800 lineal feet for that city. The cost. of
Al 800, as estimated by Mr.. j., is S6S, 800. 1t
has been said that our city would not re-
quire O. greater number of feet of pipe for
water works than is now used for gas pur-
poses, and that that amount would be
amply sufficient, at least. IF this be true,
the calculation of Mr.. J., in this particular,
is too large for our city by Il, 500 feet. 1T has
also been suggested that q tower for an en-
CINE house, instead of having to be built
200 feet high, as estimated by Mr.. j. for
Newport, one 100 feet high, buiIded above
our city, would be sufficient to carry the
water into the third story of any house in
the city. If this should prove true, the es-
innate of Mr.. J. of the engine house for
that city is too large for ours by at least
S1C, 900. We remember that His Honor, the
Mayor, gave it as his opinion that works
could be Instructed in this city that would
supply all the manufacturers with plenty
of water, for S75 900, and we have little
doubt of the correctness of the opinion, If
| the estimates of Mr.. J. are correct. And
| he certainly has better knowledgeO of she
cost of sach works than any one in the
city. We hope that the project already be-
gun will be carried sufficiently far to cause
a survey to be made. We are told that it
would probably not cost more than $500,
and if so, the knowledgecf the facts would
be worth twice that SUM, If nothing else
was done. ss, e.ss

IGNoRED.-We are told that our neigh
Dor has ignored his 400 per cent. saving
lamps and again sought relief from the
Gas Company. He has deal of trouble in
the management of his pioneer move
ments. His 400 per cent. speculation
was a failure. His movement to deceive
the honest Union mechanics of this city
proved an a3ortive one, as did his attempt
to blaclx-mail our merchants into the sup
port of his paper. His investigating COM
mittee appointed to look into the fnan-
ciaI condition of the city of Evansville, to
examine the books, records, &C., ended in
I" a great cry and little WOOL" We feel sor-
ry for that little piece of q impetuous hui
mainly. His friends should condole him
in his hour of trouble.

NEW METROPOLITAN.-The theatre was
crowded again last night with the fashion
able and elite of the city 1t is needless to
say that the Webb Sisters sustained them
selves most admirably, even under some
what difficult circumstances. In tleL play
of g Ely O'Connor," Miss Ada's imperson-
alton of the character, /" Nfy1es No Coppa-
Ium, she displayed versatility oftalent
few young actresses possess. The same
compliment is due Miss Emma. As '' Ely
O'Connor," 81 fragrant flower, born to
blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on
the desert air." Mr.. e. c. Buell. deserves
especial mention, as in our Judgment his
rendition of the character aoas good.
In the conclusion, the protean comedy of
'sA Day too Late" the Webb Sisters won
great applause by numbers of songs, dan
ces, &c.
Tonight will be presented the grand ex-
travaganzial burlesque, Beauty and the
Beast,n in which Miss Ada will appear as
Beauty" and Bell Golden &sthe sBeast.',
This piece is interspersed with songs and
dances, and is, throughout, an immensely
Melodranatic Burlesque. n
The performance will commence with
the protean comedy, entitled the Four
Sisters,'' in which Miss Emma will appear
in four characters, or as the " -Four Sis
terss"
The comic drama of Toodles," will also
be presented tonight. In all it's forms,
big bill; and as this is the last night of
these beautiful and talented actresses who
have won to such great extent the favor
of our theatre-goers, we shall expect to see
the house crowded again tonight. Get
your seats early.
In the afternoon to-day, that all may be-
accommodated, grand matinee will be-
given, theperfornnance to begin at o'clock
precisely. Let there be good turn out,
and let the house be filed
Let it be remembered that Miss Kate
