WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Gentlemen intimate
ly acquainted with the financial administration
of affairs, have been looking over the approprl-
ations made in the forthcoming estimates. Of
fetal data show that the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1874, were in excess of those for lol5
more than Sis, 900, 900, OF this amount So, 200,
600 was for light steam soops of war, and 80
000,0 900 in excess of the appropriations for pup
lie works, not including the appropriations for
rivers and harbors. In these two items alone,
aver 100000 could be saved and also 81 ,o0O,-
600 in the matter Of public printing, the print
ing appropriation for 1874 being 81, 100000 The
amount OF public printing will necessarily be
lessened. as Members of Congress are not dis

SACRED CoNoERT.-Despite the rain, City
Hall contained an excellent audience last even
ing on the occasion of the sacred concert.
Had the weather been suspicious there is every
reason to suppose that the hall would have
been filed full, The programme as already
published in this paper was given without
change. The overture by Chambers String
Band and 'sLet thy hand help me" by Miss
Alice Carl were encored. All the parts were
admirably rendered and cordially received,
elicitlng frequent and hearty applause. The
selections were all adapted to the occasion and
were In general such as are sung in the yesper
services. They were sombre and subdued in
character and had general tendency consist
ent with the character of the dag. The band
evinced its customary nicely of execution and
Mr.. Morgan's fine, smooth, mellow tenor was
heard to great advantage. Miss Carries rich,
musical contralto, supplemented by her rare
personal beauty, thoroughly pleased the audi
ence. Mrs. Halves was in remarkably good
voice and sang the 'Infammatus' with mark
ed effect. The concert may be pronounced en-
tirely satisfactory, and the result will amply
justify repetition with change of programme,
which we understand is contemplated.
