rudest possible manner. The oxen arrive
at The slanghtering-plac in state of fever
ish excitement, often suffering much
from want of water, and this excitement
is increased before they are killed by the
mode of procedure at the slaughterlng-
place itself. All this is Of no consequence,
except on the score of inhumanity, if
they are killed merely for the sake Of
their hides, but it becomes of great i'm
portance if the flesh is to be an article of
commerce. This d ficulty will soon be
got over, and slaughterlng-places Will be
found nearer to the farms where the
beasts are fed, or greater care will be
taken in the driving. There are other
circumstance in the management ofSouth
American herds very unfavourable to the
quality of the beef; but as soon as the
carcasses come to be much 10 demand,
the management will certainly be ad dust
ed to suit the altered circumstances We
may confidently reckon on a supply from
South America, rapidly improving in
quality, and in quantity as great as we
can desire, if we can only find the means
of bringing it 10 this country IN good CON
dillon.
AS to supplies from Norway, Iceland,
and other northern countries, the quaint
ty may be considerable, but must always
be comparatively limited. The quality,
however, is excellent, and leaves nothing
TO be desired.
We might 60 on to speak of other
kinds of food-supplies, TO which, howev-
err, we can only alIude at present. Our
seas might probably afford us a much
greater supply of fish than they do; but
the question is one in dispute, for there
are some who maintain that we are aIrea-
DIV exhausting our sea-harvest by over
fishing and Ivy fishing in improper meth
DDS. We believe that, on the contrary, the
sea-fsheries Of this country are far from
being fully turned to account and the
recent Reports Of Fishery Commissions
support this opinion. The mackerel of
the coast of Norway, abundant TO an eX-
traordinary degree, might afford no lncon-
siderable addition to our tood-suppIles, II
we could bring them in good condition
10 our market; the salmon OF North
America-particularly of the northwest
ern regions-are abundant TO an eXtraor-
binary degree, and perhaps it might not
be impossible to bring them. AS to sup.
plies of farinaceous food, we know OF
many in tropical and subtropieal coun-
tries, on which we have scarcely begun
to draw, and of some on which we have
not begun to draw at all. There is
abundance of maize, cassava, and plan
tains ready for use, if we are ready to
purchase.

ton for the concert room and the operate
stage. There is fine field in New York for a
conscientious exercise of such talents as the
directors of this musical university undoubt-
edly possess. There are perhaps to-day in
ms el.y gore than twenty von-.ss . .-Se gifted
sEith Il fine voices as .- 90, ,,-i-..a derae in
europe, but they require careful tuition to
make them available for the operate stage.
They shine in private life, they contribute a
host OF charms to the salons, but they are lost
to the world where they might secure career
that would reflect honor upon themselves and
the country. We have educated here great
masters in the modern school of painting, such
as Church and Bierstadt, and many others we
might name. We have given to Europe some
prime doane like Patti and Van Zandt, whose
fame is now universal; but there is rich mine
of music yet only half developed which may
one day furnish Europe with as many brilliant
singers az Europe has already sent to US dur
ing past years. In fact, we have as much ma
teriai of this kind here as exists in Europe.
What we require is good school of art, where
voices can be cultivated, where style can be
carefully inculcated and the requisites for the
lyric stage be nursed and cultured to the
highest degree of perfection. 1t is perhaps in
such an institution as the College of Music
that these wants can be best supplied.

The particulars OF the disaster have not been yet

they have been furnished, "a 1t is known that the
Grand Duke Alexis. third son OF the Gar was on
board the Inflated vessel and it ia generally believed
taat many persons have lost their lives
wild rumor has it, indeed that all hands have
perished; but the very latest kilograms hold ont an
encouraging hope that all may yet be saved, although
they are, or have been, in imminent danger.
The Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovich was born
the 14th OF January, in the year 1850 lie Is cmel
commander Of the regiment OF infantry oil Ekatie-
rneburg ana also of the first division Of the fleet OF
Finland. The Grand Duke with the consent OF
his father, undertook some time since naval
voyage which was to nave been OF considerable
duration, with the view OF improving his health and
perfectng himself in the every day routine OF his
profession at the same time. The original programme
of tour embraced visit to the United States OF Amer
lea, and the Grand Duke was placed by his parents
under the control. for tuition and guidance during
his absence, OF Vice Admiral Poset, OF the imperial
navy and the frigate Alexander Navski, mounting
ffty-one guns, commanded by Captain Kremer, or
dered at his disposal. The distinguished party
touched the coast of Algeria about six weeks since
and set sail soon afterwards for, as was said,
America.
The latest report from the voyagers 10 hand in this
city, previous to the intelligence of the wreck of the
frigate was dated in London the 17th of septem-
Der and reads thus
The Russian screw frigate Alexander Navski, fifty

Grand Duke Alexis the third son OF the Emperor
Alexander, on voyage OF tuition, under the lnstfuc-
ton OF Vice Admiral POsiet.
The subjects of the Gar were next astounded by
the harassng news of the wreck OF the fine vessel
aud the supposed loss of a very popular prince.
