THH PnILuARNoNIC CorCERr Our honorcd
Philharmonic Society gave its third concert on
Saturday evening. The programme consisted OF
spohr's " Consccraton Of Tones" symphony over
lures by Beethoven and Goldmark two srias sung
by Mise Kellogg and Bee,hoyen's L Hat major con-
certo for piano and orchestra.
In tic concerto, Miss Mchlig played the piano
part and played II fautlessly as TO the notes and
with the utmost delcacy and finish as regards the
expression. II was artistic effort OF the highest
grade and one Of which few pianists Of either sex
arc capable. We have heretofore expressed our
highest esteem for Miss Mehlig's ability, and her
noble playing o; this concerto only adds strength to
the conviction Of her merits. With most praise
worthy sclcdenil, she refused the recall that fol-
lowed tho conclusion OF the concerto. Audiences
arc so little aware OF tic tension and strain upon
every nerve aud muscle that Is required to plty
a long md difficult work, that they arc often
thoushtlcss enough to demand Of player who has
already been thirtylvc minutes al the Key board a
second piece; aud though thoroughly exhausted,
many performers arc yielding enough to comply,
generally to their own detriment Miss Kellogg
sang Mozarts divine aria, " Deb vieul non tardar"
with fitting rcpo.e, simplicity, and tenderness The
symphony was cxctlcnty played, and the very love
y andanto movement, the cradle song, received the
rather unusual trlbJte OF n decided desire on the
part Of the audience for its repetition against which,
however Mr.. Bergnann hardened his heart. Gold
marks overture proved very interesting work
In word, the concert was thoroughly pleasant,
and maintained the heh reputation OF the Society.
The Italian operate season opened very well
last week. II will receive on additional stimulus
the present week from tie temperance OF Miss
Kellogg, which takes place on Wednesday evening

We have the official copy Of the answer

We have the official copy Of the answer
which Admiral Porter has made, through the
nominal Secretary Of the Navy, to the resolu-
tion offered in the House Of Representatives by
the Hon. JAMES BRooEs Of New York, iuquiring
under what act of Congress, or by virtue Of
what authority, appropriations for the navy arc
diverted TO the survey Of the lsthmus of Da-
rien." In reply TO this, Admiral PoErrn. speak
ing through Mr.. RoDrsoN, says that no appropri-
otions for tho navy have been diverted 10 the
survey; and he adds that the act of Congress
approved July 20, 1855, appropriated forty thou
sand dollars for such survey. But he suppresses
the fact that the act orders that the money shall
be expended and the survey made under tho
direction Of the Secretary Of War, and that the
Navy Department is thus excluded from II.
1t 10 just as much violation of law and an act
Of usurpaton for Admiral PoR1TR to take the
money thus appropriated, as ii would be for him
to divert 1t from any appropriation for the navy.
II would be well for Mr.. DRooKs TO set on foot
another inquiry. Admiral PoRTEn is very cum
ming In evasion, but he ought not 10 be allowed
TO break the law with impunity If he is fivolite

Our cashier has been troubled lately with
finding his fingers soiled with what was to him
an unaccountable green tinge. Upon examina-
ton he discovered that this coloring matter came
from the surface Of the new Hills and currency
just issued by the United States Treasury BY
comparison with the old issues the new green is
Of an entirely different color from that formerly
used, having q dull, solid lock, offensive in ap-
pearanee and practically unit to be used. So
thick Is this green paint, that Il be rubbed of
In riffs, and II soils everything Il touches
Fit is poison, people must DO very careful about
getting the peruicious stuff on their lips. The
miserable character, In design and execution, Of
these new bills strikes the most superficial OBJ
server. We find also that there Is q mark on
these bills implying that there is q "patent"
paid for by the Government. Is tho patent for
the green paint, for the miserable paper on
which the bills are printed, or for making our
United States currency look like drug bottle
labelsf We should like to know the history Of
the last "big job" and who is to &c, the money.
