Thenew system Of postal telegraphs has been
In operation all over Great Britain since the I'd
day of the present month, when the government
OF the country took possession of the various
lines Of wire after . purchase completed by
virtue Of an act Of Parliament. England Is
also reporting the heavy portion Of her marine
news by electricity; SO that the arrivals of the
vessels OF her huge fleets OF East Indian, Aus
tralian and Mediterranean traders are made
known in London and Liverpool when the
vessel Is OF coast and the insurance accounts
settled ''all right" before the ships are COM
pletely dockcd. Interested parties, exclusive
corporations, with the active members of that
seli-susiicient class which is known as s'old
fogies," affect to despise the revolution which
has thus taken place and are making efforts to
distort the bearing Of its results.
A cable telegram, dated in London yester-
day, pretends TO describe 'the scenes which
are occurring at the telegraph offices through
out England" There is universal dissatis-
faction, and complaints Of delay aud error"
and in the city ''crowds of people sur
round the Offices, and there is the
utmost confusion" It viii be seen at
once that this despatch has been forwarded
to New York in the interest of gigantic
telegraphic monopoly which exists on this
side Of the ocean, known as the Western Union
Telegraph Company. Greed is, however,
fortunately, for the most part blind, and
joint stock delusions Of a very flimsy, gauzy
character. or course there is confusion"
around the Offices Every grand revolution in
the march Of liberation of the human mind,
from the days Of Martin Luther to that of the
declaration Of American independence, has
been attended with ''confusion"-a joyous
confusion" from the first moments
Of enjoyment of emancipation. The writer Of
the ''old fogy" despatch did not perceive that
he was himself furnishing the best evidence Of
how completely, Immediately and universally
the English people svailed themselves of the
boon Of the postal telegraph system by crowd
ing such an amount Of business on the newly
appointed employees within three days. The
mind Of the old nation IL being etherialized
already; but the few who attempt to carry
mind In their breeches pockets grovel beneath
the influence even Of electricity.

Dress Fashions Reported from Paris.


Our special fashions writer in Paris reports
the various styles of dress costume which
prevailed and were being matured 10 the
French capital on the 2ist OF January. The
exhibit is lively, diversified and encouraging
in its actualities, besides being attractive and
highly interesting in its anticipstions as to the
material, colors and make up OF the coming
costumes-''garments of much mystical SUBJ
Unity, as will be learned by perusal OF the
letter. We are told Of bals masquSs at the
opera, and the first state and ministerial recep-
tions Of the season what the ladies had on
and what they intended to wear. There wore
Venetian cloaks, Turkish and Egyptian cos
tunes, 'back dominoes," diamonds, princes
and princesses-real and make believe"---so
that everybody was delighted. Brilliant and
elegant toilets prevailed at the court, in the
theatres, the drawing room and around the
domestic hearth, and all promised 10 be
''merry as marriage bell, Notwithstanding

the free traders; the men who agitate, the
men who count the cost and the people who
disregard consequences.

The NEW CHURCH or MORMON. Salt
Lake letter Of January 25 states that the Nor
mon schismatics have formed . temporary
church organization, called ''Ths Church Of
Zion," which, In its constitution, is Q little
more liberal than Brigham Young's, although
it contains many Of the most Objectionable
points Of the old organization. Polygamy is
neither advocated nor condemned, but the
principle Of tithing Is continued. Joe Smith,
the con Of the ancient founder Of Mormonism,
who is opposed to polygamy, is expected to
become the leader of the new movement. The
schism appears to be complete and powerful,
and, considering the encroachmcnts Of railroads
and Congress, 1t is evident that the latter days
of the Latter Day Saints have come.

nssic and Musical Affairs In England

Asssc aud Musical Affairs In England.
The special correspondence from London
on this attractive and refining theme, which
appears in our columns this morning, will
command . widespread attention. There is
music TO some extent In every soul, and II
may be said that Orpheus can attract more
harmoniously united congregation Of enthu-
sisstic devotees TO his altar than can any
single one Of the sects of religion which wars
with the others under the Christian dispen-
sation. II win be seen that our friend John
Bull has had almost all bis music taken out
Of him. John was never At any time, IL must
be confessed, very particular as TO the musical
strains, instrumental or vocal, 70 which he
listened. The roll Of the big drum. the sound
OF the trombone, the harsh call OF the trum-
pet and the tinkle OF the tiny triangle took
him away 10 North America, to India, 10
Australasia, 10 Africa, and also down into the
Rcdan; 50 that his ear has become blunted
and his senses dulled to a very considerable
extent In the matter Of sweet sound and har-
mony. Hence bis routine neglect Of the
modern apostleship Of the grand art as
pointed out in our columns. An Irish poet
says that music ''loves the open, generous
soul; the brave, the bold, the free, and that
''for the cringing, crouching slave 1t has no
melody" The idea is elegant, the theory
correct. Hence we And that music has com

Queen victorsa,s Health.

The European correspondence by mail which
we publish this morning makes mention Of the
failing health OF Queen Victoria. A London
medical journal OF the 22d OF January states
that "thc Queen has been suffering repeatedly
during the last few months from neuralgia,
affecting different parts OF the body, aud severe
enough to seriously interfere with her rest.
Her Majesty has just recovered from recur-
renee Of the neuralgia attacking the face Sc
verely. The attacks have been attributable TO
disturbance Of the nervous system due TO ex-
posure, worry or excitement" As In very
many instances Of medical diagnosis, the Eng
lish authority, which is professional, permits
a very wide scope for lay inference as to the
exciting cause or causes Of the malady or dis
eases which afflict her Majesty. 'Exposure"--
whatever that means In the case of crowned
lead not given to serve in the tented field
worry, excitement and disturbance of the
ervous system" all coming at one time, are
srtainly quite sufficient to render any one
soldier of the Horse Guards, not to speak
delicate lady-sick, so that the bulletin
ID not cause surprise, il the facts are cor
tly stated.
he truth is the good Queen Victoria begins
teel the effects of time, at the age Of fifty
GLAND after a remarkable and gentle reign
ollirty-three years. The mortality Of hu-
may asserts itself on the throne as in the

We says thought-evs9 when this society,

In the eargement of the orchestra and the
change oplace for the grand concerts. The
results tn season have exceeded the most
sanguine ,pectations and are matter of
astonishmd and delight to even the orchestra.
Crowded hises have been the rule without
single exc'tion, and the character and ear
nest attenth OF the audience are something
which one ails to meet with at any other
entertainmd. Last Friday at the rehearsal
the Academ Of Music contained probably one
thousand mfe people than ever were known
TO be asseIbled within its walls before, and
the concet last night was perfect jam.
Ladies AM gentlemen might be seen there
that noting could induce to visit any other
public entrtainment; and on each face there
was look unalloyed enjoyment and keen
artistic appreciation. Miss Kellogg and Miss
Aehlig were stars in the solo line whom it
would be perAps impossible to surpass in this
country, and he noble orchestra Of hundred
instruments en- brook no peer in the world.
We ire glad tat there is at last public taste
tor music awakened in this city, and that the
iabors of the Philharmonic Society have not
been without tuit. Let us hope that its
great festival inhonor of the centenary of the
King OF Ausic, Beethoven, may be grand
