A MYSTERIOUS STEAMER-wAS IT THE CITY OF

BOSTON, March 4.-Capt. Hoffers, of barque
E. A. Kennedy, arrived here to-day from Liv-
erpool, reports at a. m. Feb -, in about lat.

parently lying still, heading west northwest
She showed only one bright light at mast head.
No other light was visible in cabins or about
decks. She had three masts and was square
rugged forward with topsail yards. To all ap-
pearance the steamer was in good condition
and bore no evidence of having met with any
diaster. Capt Hoffers states that he passed
near enough 10 receive any communication if
it had been desired. Heard the steam escap-
ing from her pipe. A report was current here
that the steamer seen was the missing Inman
steamer City of Boston, and the agent OF the
company in this city is of the opinion that it
may have been her, as the description given
corresponds to her rig, &C., but there is con-
siderable doubt, as the captain did not observe
her very particularly, and the general apnear-
ance of the steamer was like others empioyed
in the Atlantic trade. The steamer seen was
also heading in the opposite direction from
what the City of Boston would take on her
voyage. 1t is possible that it may have been
her and that she had lost her rudder or was in.
iured in her machinery, which would account
for her temporary stoppage in mid ocean.

THE READINGS AT CONGRESS HALL.-The
entertainment at Congress Hall last evening
was most charming affair. The hall was very
prettily decorated with the American and
English colors, while just back of the rostrum
was the name of the Peruvian in large letters.
The singing by the trio composed of Mrs.
Weatherbee aud Messrs. Shaw and Haskell
was very fine. Capt. Smith fairly convulsed
the audience with his rendering of the comic
reading, "He was a very genteel man for all
dat" and Hoods pain in q pleasure boat. ]"
He also possesses a fine baritone voice, and
rendered couple of songs by Lloyd and Mac
cabe cap.tally. Mrs. Weatherbee sang a solo
with great expression. Mr.. Murray rendered
the latter prrt of Dickens "Dr. Merrigold ,
and Tennyson's Golden SUPPER in his usual
felictous manner, and Miss Todd (who made
her first appearance in public) sung very sweet
ly. Her voice is very sweet and flexible. Al
together, it was, as we predicted it would be
yesterday morning, one of the most pleasing
performances we have listened to for some
time. There was very coed audience pres

The New York Independent says, 1--WE know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
