It was sensible that this should be done, as the public had not generally a definite idea of the society's object. Home thought it was a clever dodeo to -get people within the pale of the orthodox church, while others supposed they held communistic Ideas, and would shortly clot their meetings with lager beer and a dance. This proposal was generally approved, but issue was taken as to wheUier the rule -hould apply to all lecturers appearing before the a -ialion. or whclhcrdiM-retionary power should be vested in the Kxecutive Committee.

After dtarnwdon. a motion to carry iuto effect the latter suggestion was adopted. It was decided that sub-committees for halls, music, and lectures should be appointed by the Kxecutive Committee. A conversation ensued respecting the furnishing of music aud as to other arrangements, which will be placed in the hands of the sub-coiniuittecs, aud confidence was expressed bv members present in the ultimate complete sue-ces of the undertaking. AMCSEMEATS.

MASASIELLO." The German residents, and the citizens of Chicago generally, have been for the past two weeks on the qui vive of expectation, looking forward with impatience, not on-mingled with anxiety, to know how a oompeny of amateurs, led by a fellow-citizen, would render that great and difficult creation of Aubcr, Masanlello." It is not going, we think, beyond the mark, when we say that one. of the largest and most cultivated audiences of the season, among whom we observed many regular members of the profession, were astonished and delighted. They came to listen to amateurs, they found professionals; they expected Irregularities, they met precision and those who had never before listened to the music and seen the picturesque beauties of this old and justly celebrated opera, declared that they could not remember when they had enjoyed a performance so heartily. We went with every Intention iu the world to exercise the usual clemency extended toward amateurs, to applaud good humoredly by wav of encouragement aud to shut our eyes to many glaring defects which in a regular companv would call for severest censure. We found a combination of amateur artists perfectly self-possessed, thoroughly finished in the musical part of their work; a chorus which, to our ears was harmony itself; an orchestra, whose correct modulation was very far superior to many we have listened to within these walls- a beauty ol costume which called forth the admiration of all and a scenic effect reflecting the highest credit upon the management and the theater.

With the stirriuc echoes of the final choruses yet lingering in our ears, aud upon the opening night of this really hue performance, we have no words but those of en thusiastic praise, ne lauiis. wnere mere were any, were those of naut of practice within the walls of a theater, au occasional weakness of modulation, which will doubtless be improved upon ou a second representation. The generality of our readers have been made familiar with tne story of Masaniello, the eajolilan linhennau. The opera opens with the marriage of Alphonzo aud Klvira, aud the discovery by Fenella, the dumb sister of Massa-niello. of the deceit of her seducer.

The ensemble at the close of the lirst act, where the girl points out her betrayer, and the bride awakes to a knowledge of his crime, was rendered with a strength and power which brought forth the most enthusiastic applause. The second act opens lib the pii-turCMiue grouping of the fishermen, aud that celebrated barcarole, Behold how brightly breaks the morning." It presents the meeting of Kuellu and her brother, the avowal of her wrongs, aud the cry for vengeance. Iu the third act we have an exquisite duet between Alphonzo and Klviru, In which the former tinallv prevails upon her to forgive his crime and take him back to her heart. Then follows that delightful market scene and chorus, so fresh so musical and so charming as the guards enter to carry an ay Fenella, Masanlello gives the signal for revolt bv si ib'biug the soldier, aud the scene closes with the grand uprising of the fishermen, the prayer, and the cry of "On to vengeance!" At the opening of the fourth act Masanlello pause, after a day of horror. Fenella enters, falls asleep, but keel awake wliile the fishermen are plotting the death of her lorer.

As they depart Alphonzo and Elvira enter, entreat the dumb girl's protection, and upon the return of Masanlello and the rest she Intercedes, and the fisher chief stands between them and death. At the close of the act Masaniello Is crowned King of Naples, and borne aloft on the throne of state amid the magnificent strains of that soul-stirring chorus. The fifth and closing art completes this historical nd aplcturesqiie tragedy. Masanlello Is poisoned by his friend Metro; ere he dies he again leads forth his band to meet the enemy. Amid the glowing eruption of the burning mountain, the brave and uoblc chieftain falls, by the of his friend, and the poor dumb EirL tilled with grief, clasps together the hand of her burning anysa.

The Elvira of Mrs. Hastreiks txhoonhoveu was not only a delightful effort of vocalization, but it was a most fl nished piece of acting. We could point to one or two very distinguished names upon the lyric stage who could not have taken the character with half the grace and BlUh.

Her voice, while wanting strength, is of that flute-ke and sympathetic cast which attracts at once the keenest sensibilities of an audience. There waa a pathetic beauty in her reproach to her husband in the first act, her sweet forgiveness in the third, and her melting tones while pleading for her lover's life in the fourth, which touched all hearts, and won for her a high position in the favor oi the audience. Miss RenkeL who took the part of Fenella, waa simply charming. Her naivete, grace, and evident genius for the stage resulted In a representation which waa, perhaps, more natural than if she had been an old adept and a practiced hand. There was an artistic fire in her final struggle between love and jealousy, while clasping the bands ol the lovers together, which ranked as a high order of dramatic talent Mr.

Bischoff, as Masanlello. displayed a little Duskiness at first, which soon wore off, and he took the part with a dignity and spirit worthy of all praise. The Alphonzo of Mr. Schnltxe was equally deserving -of notice; and Mr. Koch, as Pietro.

notonly looked as redoubtable a champion as one could desire, but his full, rich voice admirably filled this important part Of the chorus we have already spoken. It could not well be improved upon. Altogether, the enterprising and talented leader, Hans Balatka. may congratulate himself upon having secured no ordinary success. He has proven to his fellow-citizens that he can produce an opera fully as perfect in detail, as charming in its general effect and as enjoyable in every particular as those performed by companies to whom managers pay such enormous prices, and which come before us with a flourish of trumpets and a burn of expectation.

Those who fail to hear Masanlello will lose a treat which they do not have every day, and which is honorable alike to the energetic leader, tne painstaking members, and the city which gave it birth. MADAMS A HOOT'S CHTtX." The Oates troupe produced last evening, for the first time In this dty, an adaptation of La FlUe de Madame Angot" a comic opera from the pen of Leoora, which has been en-iovinsT an Immense popularity in Paris, and has run an almost incredible nnmber of nights. The plot, as Is the case wltn most comic operas, is oi tne least importance. Madame Angot, a widow, dies In Belville, leaving a daughter of tenner years, nanette, to the care of the men and women of the market Pom- ponnet a barber, wltn fair prospects, and Ange Pi ton, a political poet, with no prospects except the Bastile, are in love with Clariette, who. in compliance with the wishes of her gnardiaus, is about to marry the former, although she loves the latter.

An unforeseen circumstance delays the nuptials, and meantime the poet obtains a small fortune for writing a revolutionary song. Clariette sings the song, is arrested and taken to the r. I- llhunl V.w UHIIa T.m. of the Directory, who, meeting the poet, becomes enamored of him and accepts the heart which he, forgetting Clariette, tenders her. nanette aiscovers nis iaiinieesness ana re turns to her first love.

Pomponnet who. after much tribu lation, including apartments in the Bastile, is at last united to her. The humorous element of the opera is found in misfortunes of Pomponnet and the antics of a host of conspirators, of whom Mdle. I Anre is the bead and front and the exaggerated absurd! ties of Loucbard, a constable. Many of the situations are highly amusing, much of the music Is excellent, and the opera, as a whole, win compare very iavorauiy witn some of those in the reoertoire of the troupe.

The delegates elected by those of the voters of the North Town, who were dissatisfied with the ticket nominated by the Turner Hall Convention on the 23d Inst, met yesterday afternoon in 8vea Hall, corner of Wells and Superior streets, for the purpose of placing in the field an opposition ticket offsufficient strength to carry the day.

Among those present were ex-Aid. McCaflery, J. K. Miller, better known as Fish," Albert Patch, and other ward politicians of greater or leas prominence, fairly supported by their followers. The meeting was called to order by Mr.

Miller, and, on motion, Jonn atccaoery was appointed: ana John Crawford Secretary of the convention. On motion, the Chairman appointed the following Committee on Credentials: Albert Patch, John Kelly, Michael Sullivan, Daniel Murpny.and Michael Corcoran. Boms opposition was made to the appointment of Mr. Kelly to the committee. There were.

It appeared, two seta of delegates from the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Nineteenth Wards, and confusion seemed likely to result Mr. Ryan thought that both delegations ought to be represented In the committee. Mr. Sullivan, the champion politician of the Seventeenth Ward was very wroth at the mere suggestion, and made a speech calculated to convince the convention that such things should not be. A brief wordy contest followed, and waa ended by the Chairman demanding order, and requesting the committee he had named to retire and prepare a report In a few minutes they returned and submitted the following list of delegates: hliteenth Ward J.

K. Miller, Samuel Taylor, J. II. Thorn, Otto Hartung, and William H. Snyder.

Seventeenth Ward (food rich Boyer, John Reinwald, Tliomaa Kelly. Charles Hpuon, and Henry Severing. Eighteenth Ward John Crawford, Lewis Murter, John Mctaflery, W.J. Wellard, and M. Sullivan.

Muetcealh Ward Dr. Ryan. Oscar Card, Daniel Mur-phv, John Lynch, William Savage, and Michael Burk. Twentieth Ward Michael Corcoran, George H. O'Brien, Henry Freeman D.

Quirk, and Herman Small. The report waa accepted and adopted. The convention then proceeded to make nominations for the various town offices. Mr. Miller moved that Albert Patch, the present Assessor, be nominated for re-election.

The motion was carried iinanitnnuslv. Otto Hartung nominated George Ken rer for Collector. Dr. Rvan nominated John Murphy lor that office, but as Mr. Murphy declined to accept the nomination his name was withdrawn, and Mr.

Keueer received the unanimous vote of the convention. John Lynch nominated John MeCaffery for Supervisor, and there being no opposing candidate his name was placed on the ticket bv acclamation. Ou motion, Henry Callaghan was nominated for Town ClcrU hv a unanimous vote. Patrick Dalv and Charles Hobel appeared as rivals for constabulary honors. The vote being taken the former received IS votes and the later 10.

Daly was declared the nominee of the party, and the vote was subsequently made unanimous. The ticket being completed. Albert Patch moved that a committee on resolutions be appointed to construct a platform. The motion prevailed, and the Chairman named Messrs. Tavlor.

Savaire. Crawford. O'Brien, and Keilv. While the committee were at work, Mr. Patch, the nominee for the Assessorship.

was called upon for a speech a call to which he uromntlv responded. "As you all know," said he, "1 am no speech-maker; but I propose to work for this ticket and if I am elected I shall do my duty, as I have done before." Saying which, Mr. Patch diaiteared into the ante-room. The Committee on Resolutions submitted the following report KttolretJ, That we reaffirm the principles enunciated In the platform of the People's party, and pledge our entire and Individual support thereto. Rrtolrrd.

That we are in favor of an honest and economical administration of all the several departments of government, and are opposed to the formation of all clique or rings, which rob tne treasury and abridge the liberties of the people. Ktiolrrd, That we recognize the necessity of electing men to the different town olrices who, by their honesty, ln-tetrrity, and ability have proved themselves worthy of our support; and that we recognize the office of Assessor as the most important and responsible in the gift of the people, and that the large experience, honesty, lmartial jus-ti-e shown by our candidate in the past is the only guarantee we demand for his conduct In the future. The report was unanimously adopted, and the conven Considerable surprise was manifested by many of the outsiders at the withdrawal of Mr. John Murphy's name. The reason was this: On Sunday ulght the wire-pullers of the party held a caucus, when it was decided that the indications were that the ticket could not be elected with two Irishmen as candidates for important post lions, and Mr.

Murphy consented to withdraw from the contest in order to insure the election of Mr. MeCaffery. 8ome of the North Town politicians are as greatly aiseausnea witn mis ucset as tney were witn the other. And it is not Improbable that still another ticket will be Disced in the field. A meeting to consider that project is to be held this evening In the basement at the corner of Erie and Kingsbury streets.

A straight Demo cratic ticket is talked of. SEVENTH WARD. The election of delegates for the Seventh Ward to to-day's convention, to nominate officers for the West town, waa neld at a west Twenty-seoona street yesterday afternoon, and the following were chosen: Fred DaddiDftJ. A. Fisher, P.

To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean. Sib; In a communication headed as above, and signed Cicero," in your paper of the 28th Inst, Is the following remarkable statement: A nnmber of the most restiec table, wealthy, and in fluential cttlzens, representing the different sections of Cicero, met at the office of the present Surpervlsor. and put In nomination an excellent ticket, representing the whole towm." In regard to the most respectable, wealthy, and influen tial citizens," Cicero" is either mistaken now, or was mistaken last April. Then a portion of said were called "thieve." "scoundrels," "Bin Tweeds." and so on, to the end of the vocabulary of epithets. Now, they are most respcctaoie.

This uniaue assemblaee being all office-holders, or serine in a fidnciairy capacity that favored the compact, gave themselves a majority of the offices, and Just a crumb outside to preserve the title of most respectable." Although tne ticket was agreed upon before they met at the Supervisor's office, by two or three of the conclave, still It was put through as an astonishing surprise, and still more so at the subsequent farcical convention. Is It a thankless task to ask the MO voters of Cicero to put the seal of disgust on this perpetual ring business We sk those parties that were croaking corruption and the ruin of the town last spring, where they are going to vote this spring? Are you going to hurrah for the constable and the whole ticket? The leaders of the virtuous party have compromised, bar gained, and sold themselves to the opposite party vir tually telling mem mat ail tney nave saia in tne past was untrue and a hoax, and that it was done simply for political effect It is a thrilling scene to witness the leaders of the so- called Corruptioniats and Anti-Corruptionlsts in loving embrace, as it wipes out the past, and Is a bright omen ol future political conceptions; sic gloria mundi. oters oi ucero aeciare your maepenaence, ana vote Ana-r uaon. a oteb To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean. 1 Bta: I have noticed several articles In tbe caners lately In relation to Cicero politics.

One writer intimates that the rax-powers are opposed to the ticket made no. aa he says, by those styling themselves the "most wealthy and influential while the tox-jIpAtert are in favor of the ticket Now, I don't like the slur implied by the term tax-fighter;" but what can we do?

Arlb-Tvrclve) 1 tree ess Killed saS ssjsavr WmbsmL The St Louis Qtobt of March 28 publishes some in terviewi with survivors of the Crescent City steam boat, which exploded her boilers recently near Helena, Arkn and sunk. Twelve persons were lost, and many wounded, the ooat being on an nn-trip irora Isew Or leans, ana having on board about 100 persons, in cluding deck hands. Among those interviewed was Captain Halt an experienced river man.

who was found at his boarding house, on Sixth street, whitber be bad been removed from tbe steamer City of Vicks burg. tie was propped np in tbe bed with pillows; and the severe pains which he had been suffering during the forenoon had subsided, and be was resting witn comparative ease. Several reporters had made efforts to interview him during tbe day, but his condition had not permitted him to comply. Bis statement is of such an interesting character, and covers so many points of tbe trip and the accident not heretofore alluded to or explained, that it is published in Sil: The Crescent City was running at a very good rate of speed on Tuesday morning, March 23, when we reached the foot of Montezuma Bar, near Friar's Point, and about ten miles below Helena. Ark.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning. I was in tha pilot-bouse, together with five other persons, they be ing ueuTgw ma quukuwd. urorgv jam-asfcer, rsi Bacon. Albert and Q. W.

EalL I wanted to speak to a person whom I saw oa the bank and knew, and was Iust on the point of going out of tha pilot-house, and i ad mr hand on the door-knob when the shock came. The larboard Doner exploded, ana the forward part oi 1 I 1 1 tue Doa appeared to sina aown at once, in a eeconu the starboard side of the boat began to sink, and -tha jaekstaff raised up and flew back with tremendous force, thus indicating that tba boat had broken in two in the middle, and was parting. Tha rear part of tba boat began to settle immediately, and in about one minute felt it strike the bottom. The ton of tbe pilot-house was blown over to the starboard side, and 1 went np over on corner of tbe walls of the pilot house, and fell among tha debris, while the broken limbers and rubbish were still falsing upon tbe lower deck. The frame that held the bifot-nonsa wheel was very strong, and while tba upper portion ef tbe wheel was blown off, the lower portion remained.

Fragments of the boiler came crash In throueh tbe pilot-house, A piece struck my pQtting it and fracturing the projecting part fif the skull just behind the ear. When fell to the lower a4aklr swrrwsntr tha mass of broken rubbish, a heaw piece of timber fell upon my right leg, and I found it entangled that I could not extricate myself. Tht pilot-house stove had also fallen near me, and had set fire to the Umbers. My clothes took fire; my pants burnt, and I was still unable to ret the timbers off. Beeios; that I would bum tip, I drew oat my knife ana renin ready to sever my leg at tne knee tbe boat suddenly settled enough to allow the timber to float and I was thus relieved.

I suppose I waa blown, perhaps, forty feet into tbe air, but I retained my consciousness and presence of mind, and believe that I saw as much of the accident aa any one could hare eeo, under tbe circumstances. I will also make a statement as to tbe condition of the running power of tbe boat; its management, and the causes that led to the explosion. Tbe boat was a Ions; time in making: the tip-trip from New Orleans, and some have regarded this as aa evidence that the machinery was not in a good and safe condition, and not fit to be used for tbe Ussportatton of passengers, I am certain that this is a mistake, and that the machinery was perfect and tbe management as careful as could hMi. The Crescent Citv made very good time while running, and tbe slowness of tbe trip is altogether ascribed to the many delays to which she was subject. I can testify that the officers of the boat were very careful dtirinr the entire trip from New Orleans to the time of tbe explosion.

They- ap peared to be very careful with the boilers especially, and every few hours I could hear them blowing out the stse.m and mud from tha mild drums. 1 kept a watch on my barge all night, and was np a great deal, and I noticed that the officers of the Crescent City and mown cnemicai tact tnat certain ainas oi water generate na more rapidlv than others, and this occurrence is frequently noticed at the confluence of rivers, or where water flows into a river from swamps and marshes. This sudden generation of gas in boilers has frequently been the cause of explosions on our extern rivers, and especially during the spring when high water is prevalent, and there is a great deal of mud and impure matter in the rivers. Bis theory is mat a large amount of gas bad collected in the boiler, induced by the impure water they were navigating, and the boiler becoming heated in some places above tbe water-line, the gas ignited and tbe explosion followed. He bad known a steamboat, carrying only sixty pounds of steam, to explode from gas this way.

vi course tne wildest excitement prevailed, and those who retained their consciousness say that the sight was terrible and agonizing beyond description. Shocked and convulsed by a tremendous explosion, and exposed at once to the imminent and immediate peril of burning and drowning, the situation can be realized as oeing oi extreme anguish to ail who were permitted to survive. To those who were cut off so suddenly and without premonition, and passed, within a moment, from the waters of the great Mississippi to tbe ban Its ol that dark river whose waters is death, there was no pain. The rescue of those who had escaped was made by tne steamer run Alien, wmcn nawpaied up only short time before, and on hearing tbe noise returned with all possible speed. 1 be survivors were taken on board and lauded at Mem phi.

Here the City of Vicksburg took them in charge and brought them to this city. The following Is a complete list of the lost Cap tain james uitwaon, ixius; Henry iteaier, mate M. Louis; Wm. Mundy, pilot, St. Louu: Dan Mettle, watchman; William Dunn, second clerk.

Tbe terrible accident was so sudden and so unlooked for, and tbe shattered vessel gunk to the bottom of the river so rapidly, carrying everything animate and inanimate with it, that it is impossible to tell accurately how the maiority of these unfortunate victims perished.

dennite ran be known be yond the tact that they are gone, either scattered in pieces to tne winds or iunk down in state-room or cabin beneath the muddy current. Ast one who has kept tbe run of the newspapers published in tbe States of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Indiana for tbe last six months, cannot but be struck with the almost universal desire throughout those States to aid in the building op of manufactur ing enterprises. No articles are copied so freely and commented on more intelligently than those bearing upon tbe subject of manufactories. Tbe editors of local journals are constantly drawing comparisons between their own and other towns iu which such industries constitute a main feature of the business, and at the same time there has seldom been such comparison made in an inviduous or envious spirit, but rather to stimu late a just appreciation of tbe benefits of diversified industry. In many eaterpriaing towns, like Des Moines, Dubuque, Clinton, Council Bluffs, Rockford and a doaen others which might be mentioned, manu facturers' aid societies have been formed to extend pecuniary inducements to such persons as will locate in such cities establishments for the manufacture of useful implements and goods.

In other places, like Eokoma and Free port, the people come forward and, with a commendable spirit, are ready to subscribe to the capital stock of button factories, watch factories, and other similar enterprises which shall furnish employment for its citizens, and bring consumers to the corn cribs and wheat bins of the producers. This spirit is not tbe outbreak of a mo mentary desire to build np tbe respective places where it is exhibited, but is the result of a desire for inde pendence of the East for the goods which can be as profitably made at tbe West The desire to reduce the evils of excessive rates of transportation is shown in The determination to transport feat, and the roily of employing hands in Holyoke, to make the paper, men in Lynn to make tbe boots, spinners in Lawrence to make tbe yarn used at tbe West, and then sending our corn, beef, and pork there to feed the workmen while so enraged, is now understood. If this popular feeling should be sustained, tbe next census will show such an advance in tbe manufacturing achievments of the West as will startle the entire country. BUSINESS HOTXCE.
