In addition, the means of saving life, in the

EnGland aud Her Revolution.

On an early day the English Parliament will
resume its sittings, and the Prime Minister will
be compelled to say whether he will or will
not continue to hold the reins of power in face
of a powerful opposition. The presumption is
that Mr.. Disraeli will find II necessary to resign
His only chance is to come forward with a
holder bid than that which Gladstone has made
A holder bid, however, will hardly save him;
for the question Of confidence, which ready
settled, cannot be so easily got over. The
liberal party is united, and Mr. Disraeli can
not hold Office without their consent. The
meeting which was held in St. James Hall on
Thursday evening, and of which we gave an
account in yesterdays HERALD, shows how
the liberal party intend to act 1t may almost
be taken for granted, from the voice of that
meeting, that Mr.. Gladstone has already be-
come Premier of England The revolution
however, is q something altogether different
and apart from the success Of party. The stone
is already rolling, and, in spite of any man
or Of any party, II will roll on. We have no
idea, however, that the revolution will be other
than peaceful. Revengeful feelings will not
seek to be slaked with blood, as was the case
in the FIRST English and the first French revo-
luton. The English people have grown wiser,
and we have set them good example in the
interval Il would be absurd meanwhile to
imagine that descendant OF The house OF
Israel, q man full Of the vitality aud genius OF

The CENTRAL UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
Both branches Of the Legislature have passed
and the Governor has signed the bill incor-
porating the Central Underground Railroad.
As whole 1t is less Objectionable than the
abominable arcade railroad scheme, although
1t will probably be fought to the death with
injunctons and law suits. Commencing at
the City Hall 1t runs under Chambers, Centre,
Mulberry, Blocker and Eighth streets, and
Fourth avenue, Madison avenue, thence con-
tinues in northeasterly direction to the Har-
lem river and connects with Harlem bridge at
the terminus Of Third avenue. The act of in
corporation contains many stringent features,
which. If carried out faithfully, would benefit
the public. The only question that arises is
whether the road will ever be built. The
litigation which the company will be plunged
into by parties owning property on the pro-
posed route, with other obstacles incident TO 40
vast a work, renders 1t probable that the
present generation will pass away before It's
completion. AT any rate, II the passage of the
bill will have the effect Of killing the arcade
project the people of New York will be greatly
benefited, even II the Central Underground
Railroad be never built.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT ON THE FERRIES THE
Assembly Committee on Commerce and Navi-
cation have submitted a report on the condi-
ton and management of our city ferries, which
is not altogether satisfactory. 1t does, II is
true, condemn in strong terms the Williams
burg Ferry Company, but 1t Is altogether too
lenient with the others. Bad as the Williams
burg ferry is, it is not so much worse than the
others that the one should be censured and
the faults of the others attempted to be hidden
by process Of whitewashiug. II Is notorious

Fable of n FrOg-Whaf Comes Of Ima
moderate Imitation.

Once on a time certain frog saw an OK
quietly grazing in field, and was seized with
an ambition to be very large-if not very
large OK at least very large frog. Specta-
tors were not wanting. for the silly little
crOaker even announced to the OK and his
burst; and the experiment of swelling or
trying to swell was accordingly begun. A
below common to frogs, deep inspiration of
air, like balloon inhaling gas, and his frog
ship was speedily swollen to the utmost
capacity of his skin. ''Boo, boo see here, "
croaked he with bated breath, "I am just as
large as you;" but the OK kept on grazing,
quite aware that the little nondescript's large
ness was nothing more than mere wind.
BOO! boo! Am not huge ?"-and herewith
second inspiration followed, causing the little
nondescript's skin to strain very taut in places
and manifest symptoms of cracking, while still
on grazed the OK, minding nothing whatsoever
about his neighboring fan-legged diminutive.
BOO! boo! boot" this time thrice croaked
the inflated little fellow; while just at the last
boo the OK was startled by the crack
and buzz ola little explosion, and turned just
in time to see his frogship in fragments.
So let a small coppcrhead sheet of this city,
of limited circulation, take warning by the fate
Of the poor frog, and not pretend to equal its
superiors in size and influence by swelling
itself too much with stale news and cheap
advertisements, for white paper is dear, and il
| may some fine morning burst.

At the inquest upon the bodies of the three
victims Of the Rivington street fire some curl
Gus testimony was elected from Mr.. McGregor,
the Superintendent of Buildings. He stated
that with the small number of assistants
which the law allows him (eighteen), it would
take him three years to carry out the clause in
regard to providing fire escapes for tenement
houses in the city, and upon this allegation he
bases the cause of the disaster in Rivington
street. 1.-THE Superintendent had applied to the
police we presume that he could have obtained
all the information, and, for the matter of that,
all the assistance necessary to put tenement
houses in order. The police in the ordinary
routine of duty must be thoroughly acquainted
with all the tenements in the Metropolitan dis
trct They know their condition, and how far
the law is complied with in each case, better
than Mr. McGreror and his eighteen assistants
can know it within the three years which that
gentleman allots for the performance of his duty
in ''going through the city," The truth is
that the inspection of tenement houses would
be much more efficiently done if it was placed
in the hands of the police instead of in those of
the Superintendent of Buildings, and the sooner
the business is put under their control the
better 1t will be for the safety of human life
The Coroner's jury in their verdict censure
the owner and the agent of the building in
which this catastrophe occurred, which is all
very well, because it was proved in evidence
that there was not the remotest chance of
escape for the inmates on the third story
except by the very frail one of leap to the
ground, and this, as the result proved, was no
escape at ALL for they were killed by the con-
cussion.
But the jury further recommend that the
Legislature should clothe Mr.. McGregor with
more power, which is absurd because Mr..
McGregor has already too much power. Not
only is he entrusted with authority to regulate
fire escapes in tenement houses, but he is
authorized to supervise the erection of build
ings-a matter which, not being an architect,
he knows nothing about, and is quite incom-
petent to form any opinion upon. We are not
certain that he even comprehends what tene-
ment house is, as we have observed that he
endeavors sometimes TO enforce the law upon
owners Of houses devoted TO business purposes,
and that in his recent testimony he swears that
the house in Rivington street did not come
under the law, as it was not considered by him
to be tenement house, although the landlord
swore that IT was occupied by several families,
and at one time was rented to nine families.
This is certainly very extraordinary illustra-
ton Of the fitness of Mr.. McGregor for his
position. II lie pretty evident from all these
facts that the bureau of the inspector of build
ings Is in very disorganized condition, and
requires an entire renovation.

ridicule this bugbear of monopoly and who
point to the fact that Vanderbilt has taken the
Hudson River and the Harlem Railroads into
his grasp, and, although parallel lines, has
raised them both into profitable, paying and
excellently managed roads. Every one admits
that so far as practical railroad management
is concerned Vanderbilt has had no equal
since the death of Dean Richmond.
Some people suppose that the struggle
between these railroad magnates is the imme
date occasion of the panic now prevailing in
the high priced, fancy stock market, and
hence the 'lame ducks" as they limp on the
''street," are bitterly denouncing both Wander
bilt and Drew. But this is all stuff and
nonsense. The natural tendency of the
country at this time is towards financial
crisis. There is no confidence in the govern
ment-no settled policy on the part of Congress
on which the country may safely lean with a
feeling of security in the future-and the
people are beginning to appreciate the fact
that the wild gambling of Wall street has
beneath it no solid basis and may fall to pieces
at any moment. This is the meaning of the
present panic, and it will go on and on until
it ends in final grand crash and ruin, unless
the radicals should succeed in removing
johnson and obtaining control of the whole
machinery of government through Ben Wade
and their Congressional majority. In that
event an imitation of the currency by one
hundred million dollars on the start will again
send up prices, give an impetus to all schemes,
however chimerical rain upon Vanderbilt,
Drew and all other operators a golden shower,
and for three or four years longer drive off
the settlement between solid enterprise and
wild speculation which must inevitably come
at last.
So far as this Erie litigation is concerned,
it would be public advantage if it could be
brought to an end. 1t is in measure respon-
sble for the Port Jervis calamity since the
thorough repair of the track throughout the line,
which was contemplated early this spring, has
been brought to stand by the legal squabble.
We have hope, however, that it may close sooner
than is generally anticipated for we are mis-
taken if some fine spring morning ''two trav-
oilers" Will not be seen after the fashion of G.
z. r. James famous horsemen, side by side, in
earnest converse, pacing the deck of a New Jer-
sey steamer bound for New York and market.
The development of the romance will disclose
the fact that these two friendly travellers the
present great antagonists Of the Erie war, and
in its last chapter we shall, beyond doubt, find
these two deserving champions carrying off
and dividing up the fruits of their valor,
while all around are heard the groans
and the not over classical EXPLANATIONS
of the wounded and dying outsiders who are
left writing in the ''street." Moral Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and Daniel Drew are tried
veterans in the art of railroad war and
are far too shrewd to invite for thems elves
the fate of the Kilkenny cats, whatever the rest
may do.

1t is a very singular state of affairs that
while American artists are creating Juror
in Europe Italian opera is, to all intents and
purposes, dead in this city. We have two
large opera houses, plenty of fashionable
people, full supply of excellent artists-in
fine, all the necessary materials for opera,
with one sole exception-a manager. By a
manager we do not mean one hundred and
ninety-nine and a half individuals who know
nothing about opera, entertain the most exalted
opinion of themselves and the lowest estimate
of everybody else, and regard the opera house
as their private domain and the public as
intruders An Smpres0rto Of Italian opera
should be possessed of very different qualities.
Italian opera should be managed in the same
manner as newspaper-namely, by making it
an intellectual despOtism, with one controlling
mind alone over it. The smpres0rso must be
dictator and responsible only to the public. The
mistake made so far by our opera managers has
been in looking upon opera in the same light
as circus, minstrel hall or menagerie. The
one hundred and ninety-nine and half feudal
despots of the Irving place catacombs have
succeeded in killing opera at the Academy,
and through the want of common sense manage
ment the same result has been attained at
Pixies. The only principle on which opera
management can be successful in this city is On
that of Capitalization of power in the hands
of the Sanpresario, always, of course, subject
to that grand high court of impeachment (ns
Manager Buffers inclgded), the public. Every
amusement goer in the metropolis knows how
the neglect of this principle operated at the
Academy the same idea, with slight varia-
tons, was carried forward at Pixies. At the
one place one hundred and ninety nine and
half managers produced the effect; at the
other Difference to certain artists and sos-dSsGat
musical people led matters to the same end.
Let the smpresarSo, with all his faults, be die
tator and supreme head, and let no prtnaG
donna dare to interpose an objection or even
a suggestion, and Italian opera will be made
permanent. Why have we no Italian Opera2
In Europe American singers are the reigning
stars of the principal opera houses. Mr.. Gye,
at Covent Garden, depends on Jenny Van
Zandt and Patti for his sensations this sea-
son, and Mr.. Mapleson has Miss Kellogg as
one of his first prime domne In Copenhagen
Miss Huntley and other ladies from Boston ex-
cite the interest of all the operate public, and
Kate Morensi will be great card in London
this summer. We might multiply examples but
these are sufficient to show that the country
which first made the reputation of Malbran is
the grand purveyor of Europe in Italian opera.
Yet we are deprived of the lyric drama here.
because that rarG Gois, a common sense i'm
presario, is not to be found. Why does not
the man who made opera 6oufe such great
success at the French theatre take the Italian
question in hand and deal with it in the same
manner?
