The Bedford. Brewery" Excelsior Lag er" the Nearest Approach to Bavarian Beer Bow it is Hade, Ac, St. Lager beer seems likely to become our national beverage. It Is but a few years since only the sedate, qnlet German, with rati and hinitr, could sit and quaff the brimming glass of amber fluid, and pipo in mouth muBe o'er the days gone by, never dreaming that his native drink would perhaps become a substitute for whiskey and numerous other liquors at various tads Indulged In by Americans. let such, to a considerable extent, has been the ease; lager ai the present season of the year, especially, is an American beverage.

Now both the German and the American mingle together in' the many garltnt, and pass the hourB of a warm snmmer evening In the pleasures of theXGambrinlan mug. There is a domesticity in the former which the latter doeB not possess. The German brings his wife and children with him to participate in tho enjoyment; the Infant is brought up with the lager glass rather than the bottle. The American is generally alone or attended by friends or companions. Perhaps his aristocratic ideas check him from permitting his wife or children to frquent such places, But this prejudice ff so it can be called is gradually being removod, and it Is probable that the day is coming, and not far distant, when the mass of American women and children will be Been with their Teutonlo friends sitting around the tables in tho cooIgardenB, enjoying the nourishingand delight, ful effects of the sparkling, snow capped lager, or tho offerveecing qualities of the weisa beer.

Since lager beer has become almost universal with the American and German, the quantity consumed has been immense, and the quality gradually deteriorating, until now a very inferior article iB consumed to largo extent. Lager is a cheap drink; in fact, very oheap at fivo cents per glaBB, when it is taken into consideration that fifty bushels of malt, sixty pounds of hops and three gallons of yeast aro omployed in making forty barrelB of beer. It would seem that in conBoquence of thenowfExciseLaw tho quantity of this poor beer, heretofore so extensively manufactured, will be so increased that the genuine articlo will become unknown to many drinkerB; that is, impossible to obtain. This is not too improbable; already there are many complaints among the brewers. The material is high in price, much highor than before tho late war; yet tho foaming bev eiage still holds its own at five conts a glass.

The lager breweries in this city are numerous; more especially in tho Eastern District. In the Slxtoenth Ward (Dutchtown), almost every house is a lager beer saloon, and the residents, from the crawling infant to the oged grand parent aro as accustomed to drink of their native fluid as the temperance man is of water, in preference to intoxicating liquors. Of courao, to supply this demand, the brewers do an immense business, and their establishments are over alivo with rubicund, corpulent workmen engaged in tho manufacture. In the Western District, one of the largest, if not the largest manufactory of tho kind, ia tho Bedford Brewery, which has borne tho reputation tor moro than a year paBt, of producing a quality of lager, not manufactured, it is claimed, in any olhor establishment in thiB city. THE BEDFORD BBEWEBY "EXCELSIOB LAGER." Tho brewery which is located at tho corner of Franklin avenue and Dean street, occupies a largo extent of ground, and is owned.by Mr.

Georgo Malcom, a Scotchman by birth, who has been engaged in tho busiuesa for years past. A complaint was mado to tho Board of Health, a short time Binco, stating that this place was in a veiy bad condition. Tho visitor would look in vain for anything about tho establishment which would justify such a 6erious complaint. It is true that thoro ia a stream of water used in cleaning barrels, 4c, iu the brewery running acroBS the open front yard into a cess pool some distance away; but tho water never becomes stagnant, nor docs there seem to bo any probability that it would bo provoeativo of disease. Thoro is a sewer constructing however, to carry it away to tho main one.

Tho intorior of tho brewery is always kept neat and clean a great deal more so than thousands of tho dwelling houses of this city. Mr. Malcom has possessed this placo, fr about eighteen months, and effected so many improvements in it, that a decided change for tho bettor iu its appearance would, bo instantly perceived by any person who saw it previous to tho present proprietor taking possession. Ho intends enlarging the present structure during Iho Summer and Fall, in consequence of an incroaso in his business, and to afford greater facilities in manufacturing. Mr.

Malcolm Is extensively engaged in making a now kind of beer, known as "Excelsior Lager." Tho hops and malt are Bavarian, so that the production is tho nearest approach to the old Bavarian beer. It is understood that bo is tho only brewer iu the city who uses these Bavarian hops and malt. Tho result is that tho beer is excellent, far surpassing in evory respect other qualities of lager, and is eagerly purchased by retailers. It can be readily recognized by tho deep amber, peculiarly pleasant taste, and invigorating qualities. The sales of it, as a sequence, aro large, and it is universally sought for by beer drinkers.

This "Excelsin Lager" is made in a manner similar to the common kind, and to those readers of the Eaole who are ignorant of tho mysteries of tho brewery, a substantial account of THE PROCESS OF MAKOTAOTOBtNa LAGER will1 prove interesting. Tho season for brewing commences about the first of Octobor and ends in the middle of April, while some brewers continue until tho first of May. Lager may be defined as a fermented liquor made from malted grain, which is generally barley. Hope and other flavoring mattors are addod to improve tho taste, aud furnish tho liquor with their peculiar properties, ic. In manufacturing tho genuine article which only ia horo Bpoken of groat caro is always used in selecting tho barley or other grain.

First, it is subjected to a proceBS called stooping, which is performed in largo cisterns, witha dopth of about eix inches above tho surface of tho grain. Whou tho latter has been well Boaked it is removod from tho cis teniB, drained about six hours, and thon spread on tho malt floor, whore the next process ia called "couching." The lying in beds of twelve or fifteen inchos, soin becomes moist through chemical changes, and germination begins. This having progressed sufficiently, which is easily known by the grain becoming white and ciumbly, germination is arrested ny tuu lain ueins spread on the floor of a malt kilu, and tho toniperaturo gradually raised from 90 to 140 degrees; tho malt being frequontlo slirred whilo drying. BREWING is Ihe noxt process, and consists in tbo malt first bolug ground to a coarfe powder, which is shokou into large "math tubB," containing water at a temperature of 160 degrees, more water is then added, after whicli tho temperature is raised several degrees hlgbor, and tho infusion then drawn off and added to the first; still another wetting takes placo with tho water at tho boiling point. Iho next process iB tho boiling, tho infusion being placed in largo copper vcssols with steam valves.

Tno hots aro introduced dnring tho boiling, aftor which tlio liquor is strained, cooled, placed in large wooden vats, and yeast added. Having sufficiently fermented, tho liquor is drawn off imo largo receptacles, and stored in hugo vaults many feet under ground, whero, evon on a summei 's day, the temperature ia almost at tho freezing point. Hero it remains for several mouths, this beiug called which tho beer derives its name, Tha article which ia sold as soon as mado is callod "fichanck or something of tho kind; that is, not having beon "lagered." There is a great deal of this consumed. Tho process of manufacture, tho roader will perceive, is not only pretty costly and troublosomo, but requiros the utmost attention on the part of tho maker. VISIT TO THE BEDFORD DREWEBV.

A day or two since, our Bop'ortor paid a visit to this eBtabllBhment, through whioh ho was conducted by tbo proprietor, from whom he ascertained the above facts. A portion of tho placo is also dovoted to the brewing of ale, of which largo quantities aro circulated from hero, through all parts of this city and NtwKork. A great many hands aro eniployod, and weie'ilfE engaged in cleaning tho tubs, lathe lager department, the brewing soason having ended. It would bo a repetition to state that everything was clean, conducted in tho best of order. To Oiobo who havo nei er ojplored the mysteries of a browory.a visit to Buch a placo would bo both pleasant and Instructive, and well repay tho visitor.

To tie People of British America: We come among you aa tho foes of British rule in Ireland.

Exiled from that native land of ours by tho oppression of British aristocracy and legislation, our people hunted down to the emigrant BhipH, or worBO, to that charnel of govornmeni Institutions, thepoor houao; our countrymen torn from their families and friends, and hurled in droves into the prison pens of England and Ireland; our country subjected to a foreign tyranny which, disfranchises the mass or the IriBh people, and makes poverty and misery the sad rule of their condition, covering our fair land with pauper's graves and wretched hovels, eliciting from the liberal minds of England herself expreBsionB of Bhamo for tue government and indignation for the people. We have takon up the sword to strike down tho oppressor's rod, to deliver Ireland from the tyrant, tho SeBpoiler, the robber. We have registered our oaths upon the altar of our country in the full view of Heaven, aud sent up our vows to the throne of Him who inspired them. Then, looking about us for the enemy, we find them here here In your midst, where ho is most vulnerable and convenient to our strength and havo sworn to stretch forth tho armed hand of Ireland and grapple with him. The battle has commenced and we pledge ourselves to all the Bacred memories of struggling liberty, to follow it up at any cost to 'cither of two altor naliver the absolute political independence of Ireland or the demolition of our armies.

We have no issue with the people of theso provinces, and wish to havo none but the most friendly relations with them. Our weapons are for the oppressors of Ireland. Our blowB shall be directed only against the power of Englandj'he privileges alone Bhall wo invade, not yours. We do not propose to divest you of a solitary right you now enjoy. Wo will aBsail and asporeo only the rightB that are claimed and enjoyed by tho government of Great Britain tho right to mako her American poBscssions tho field and base of operations in a war against an enemy.

Wo come to inHtal ourselves in her possessions, and turn them against her In a war for Irish freedom. We are here, neither as murderers nor robborB, for plunder and spoliation. Wo are. here as tho Iiish armv of liberation; the friends of liberty againet despotism, of demooraoy against aristocracy, of the people againBt their tho ballot against tne pnvitegea ciass, 01 progress ana aovejopmoni aeainfit right and wrong; to conduct this contest according to tho laws known to honorable warfare, in a manner worthy of the high object we aim for: and the sublime sentiments that actuated us. Ina word, our war is with the armed power of England, and not with the people, nor with these Provinces.

Against England upon land and sea, until Ireland is froel And all who an arm lo defend her to frustrate or defeat us, be. long to the common enemy, and as suoh will bB dealt with. Ab we know how to recognize tho Bervices of our friends, so also do we know how to punish the depredations oi our foes. Our work for Ireland Accomplished wo leave to vour own free ballots to determine your natural and political standing and character, and Bhall rejoice to see, and aesist to make, these limitless colonies spring from tho foot of a for eion throne as free and independent, proud as New York, Massachusetts, or Illinois. To that yearning for liberty and aspiration after natural independence which swells the breast of every true eon of every your own muauuess, ive icava moatj questions for settlement, confident that tho dwarfed development of your vast resources and natural wealth, made the chilling umuences 01 supromacy in wroicneu contrast with tho national dignity and stupendous material prosperity of your neighboring pooplo of tho United States, under the stimulus of Bolf govonuuent and democratic institutions, a stronger argument in favor of co operation with us and of tbo revolution in vonr nolitical condition which this com parison suggests, than any discussion of tho questions mvolVCtt wuicn we couiu uuer uero.

To Irishmen throughout these Provinces we appeal, in the name of seven centurios of British iniquity and Irish misery and suffering; in the namo of our murdered BireB, our desolate homes, our desecrated altars, our millions of famine graves, our inBulted Bamo and race to Btretch forth the hand of brotherhood in tho holy causo of fatherland, and smito the tyrant whore wo can in his work of murdering our nation aud exterminating our people. We conjure you, our countrymen, who, frcm miBfortuneB inflicted by the very tyranny you are serving, or from any other cause, have boon forced to enter tho ranks of the onemy, not to bo tho willing in stiument of vour country's death and degradation. If Ireland sfili speaks to you in tho truest impulses of your hearts, Iriahmon, obey hor voicel If you would not bo miscreants, recreant to tho firtt principles of your nature, engraven upon the very comer stone of your being, raiso not the hand of the matricide to strike down tho banner of Erin I No uniloim, and surely not tho blood dyed coat of England, can emancipato you from tho natural law that binds your allegiance to Ireland, to liberty, to right, to justice, To the triends of Ireland, oi freedom, of humanity, of Iho people, we offer the olive branch of peace and tho honest grasp of friendship. Tako it, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Americans take it all and trust it. To all who marched to the call of the enemy, and rally under bis standard to aid or abet his causo, wo givo tho sword in as firm anri earnest a grlpo as over did its work upon a foeman.

A. Bartlett, pastor of the Elm Place Congregational Church, preached a sorinon las evening from iho text: "And all the Congregation lifted up theirvoices and cried; and all the people wept that night" Numbers 14, 1. In this Ihe time of a great national calamity and the hour of a nation's mourning, tho words Boomed peculiarly appropriate; and the speaker took occasion to allude in a moBt touching manner to the life and recent dealh of Lieutenant General Scdtt. He gave Bhort resume of his life and actions, noting as two of the most prominent traiiB of hia character, his bravery and his fidelity to truth and right, TheBe were worthy the Imitation ot all, and any person who Btudied hiB life coold not fail to bo benefitted thereby. Born In obscurity, ho hiwed cut for himself a name and reputation, and hia death touched every boll and flag with grief and evory heart with sorrow.

In alluding to the public services of the great and lamented soldier, the Bpoaker said that the record of theso would be found written on every page of the nation's history for the past fifty vnnTB. imA a srateful ReDnblio would ever chorlsh his memory as one who had served it faithfully aud well. Mr. B. deflcribed in fitting terms the dosing scene at West Point, and said that, as the closing ochoof tho gun fired at his oDsequies reaounaeu irom niu iop 10 ill top, so the echo of his fame would resound from generation to generation, evon after theaword shall have been beaten into the ploughshare and the spear into tho pruning hook; and nations shall 'learn war no more.

Despite the inclemency of the weather a very comfortable audiencowas present, and those who stayed away deprived themselves of the pleasure of listening to an able, touching and effective discourse. Lefferts ParkThe Picnic Season.

Mr. Chichester. tho proprietor, has made this his line of summer busi mss for seme time haa proved himself eminently fit for the undertaking. Located at tho cornor of Tompkins avenue and extending over several acres, and well supplied with largo trees and ehrubbory of all kindB, LeffertB Park, la very easy of access Irom al mostanv section of the city. This season, a fewim provementa have been made by Mr.

Ohichostsr; whioh will be readily distinguished by the visitors of last year. A new and somewhat fancy covered music stand has been erected at one end of the dancing platform, which, by the way, is a special feature of the park nmi mora liohl furnished for evonlng dancers by. a row of now gas jets, arranged on a large tree by the side of the platfoim. There aro other little improvements mado in various parts of the grounds, such as new refreshment slandB, seats, etc. A cosy littlo ofllco for tho' proprietor has been constructed by the sido of the music stand, though not as high as tho latter.

To preventany disturbance a thing which has rarely, if ever occurred here a number" of policemen aro always present on tho occasion of a pic nio or any other gathering. "There has been a good many engagements for the Park thus far, mostly, hdvever, for June and July, by iartieB; and to day the Furman Association had set apart for their pic nic.

PROSPECTS FOR THE PRESENT SEASON. How the Excise Law Affects Bnsiness, THE FAST HORSES OH THE ROAD AND WHO OWN What Can lie Seen on an Afternoon at Tnnison's The Coney Island Kail Road. The heavy rains which have prevailed all through tho spring nearly tip to tho present time with the exception of a few briaht afternoons, retarded considerably the opening of the Spring season on the Coney Island road, and the pacers, and trotters, who had been confined in their stables for weary weeks, im. patiently chafed.as day after day passed along.and there, was no cessation of the dripping, drippling, rain, which hept tho road toa soft for thoir high strung nerves and mottleaome manners. However, everything has an end, and so will tho rain it is to bo hoped, for although old Pluvius graciously consented, last week, to stay for a few days tho aqueous torrent of hiB wrath, ho has again opened his water batteries on humanity, and for tho past two days it has been raining in torrents, whioh will have rather a bad effect on tho road.

However, tho few pleasant ovenings of last week wero, sufficient to bring out tho 'riders," and the show presented, augers well for the present season. Last veaWilhe Eagle astonished the habitues of Bloomingdale road with a list of the blood stock owned in Brooklyn, which rather surprised them, as thoy wero under tho imprcBsion that nearly all the blood stock in the country was concentrated on tho Blooming, dale road. Large numbers of New Yorkors, who thought they had fast horses, brought thorn over here in the expectation of whipping ovorything before them, but, as a general thing, they went back slightly disap. pointed, and to day, it is a fact, that tn tho number of blood horseB and tho excellence of the stook, Brooklyn, albeit tho City of Churches, and inferentlally of slow going people, eclipses any city on the Continent. To be satisfied on this point, any ono has only to go to tho Bloomingdale road, and notice what its rough, jostling CTowd, which trots and tears, cantera and curses, is composed of.

Butcher boys, harkcopors on a bust, and people of that stripo. Tho rcBpcctablo riders who hap pon to own fast teams have been all driven from the road, and seek refuge in the Contral Park, but this is no place to try tho speed of their teams. It is different on our road. Here there is but one class, and that is respectable, and the tiniest Shetland driven by the most timid female, is as safe among the eager crowd of trotters as tho biggest. Now Yorkers te just beginning to find out this fact, and as a consequonco aro patronising the road in large numbers.

THE ROAD ITSELF however, is not in as good condition bb it Bhouldbe, and has been gradually falling off in condition since the death of Mr. Polhemus, and tho grade in tho centre has been allowed to faU so much that the rain forms poolB here and there, which soak into the ground and mako it 6oft, and then, too, in some parts of tho road, instead of sand, pebbles have been pat' down. It is hardly no ccesary to tell tho present President, that it will pay to keep the road in propor order, for the business, as ho is aware, is increaBiug yearly. "A word to tho wise," road wants, between Tunison's and the toll gate, to be proporly graded and covered with good sand. THE EXCISE LAW has also affected the business of tho hotel keepers to a considerable extent, and will doubtless close up most of ihem by the operation of tho Sunday closing, because with the exception of Tunison's, Hiek's, Post's and John Friend's, the largest part of tho trado of most of the other hotelB on tho road, camo on Sunday when tho road was crowded with every description of vehiclo, from an express wagon to a fancy phrcton, and every bar reom along the road ministered to a thirsty crowd, who dispensed their greenbacks like water.

Now that is all over, tho bara are all closed, the crowds are non est, and the barkeeper, arrayed with tho "loudest" of pants, tho most gorgeous or vesta, and tne most "atun ning" watch chain and California diamonds, is off to Jersey, drinking defiance to tho Sunday law in libations of lager. There are still, however, a few good HOTELS ON THE ROAD that can stand the pressure, and first of all comes tho well known establishment kept by Mortimer Tunison, amiliarly known as "Mort." This is tho headquarters not only of the roadmen, but of all classes that patronize the road, and has all tho requisite accommodations, drawing rooms, handsomo gardens and shrubbery on the ono Bide, for tho accommodation of ladies and children, and on tho other, tho exlonsivo piazza and bar room, where Michael Rickard presides. Michael is a model bar keeper and a good deal of tho popularity of the house is owing to him, for, like "Mort'1 himself, "Mike," as ho is familiarly termed, has cultivated the happy faculty of making himBclf thoroughly agreeable to all, and in fact 1b almost indispensable to the place. About a mile further down the road, the now hotel of Hicks Post has been put up, and then, still fur. ther down, where the road to Sheeps' Head Bay suggests blucflshing, with boats from Delano's, Uncle Sam's, or Edwards' stands TEE EUREKA HOTEL, is kept now by young John Friond' As our old friend John's horticultural famo has given him so much to do in the way of making bouquets for tho hundreds of ladies who daily drive down there, he has no time to attend to any other business, and consequently had to reaign it to John who makes a social host and keeps tho best of liquors on hand.

A visit to tho road is not complete unless you can bring homo one of John's artistically conttructed bouquets for wife or sweothoart. All theso pleasant features of tho road aro enhancod by IhoBplendid accommodations givon to tho travelling public by the CONEY. ISLAND RAILROAD under tho nblo management of Frank Quevedo, tho accomplished and energetic superintendent ot the road. During the present Spring, tho Company hayo built no less than 16 now summer cars of light and elegant do sign, which will be put on tho road as Boon as it is open for summer travel. This will mako the total number of cars on that road now nearly 170, which we believe is the largest rolling stock on any single road of horse railroad.

The Company builds all their own cars, do all their own repairing, and the manner in whioh it is done is this: after (he close of tho Bummer season, of course, there are a large number of conductors and drivers who are thrown out of employment, such of these as have trades and moBt of them have, are employed is the shops of the Company in manufacturing new cars, ic, and in this way the Company and the men derive mutual benefit The Company havo recently established a new depot at BUi avenue, and are making: extensive preparations to commence the present season in a style which will leave nothing to bo desired. Tho summer arrangements will be published in a few days. Having now said bo much about general matters connected with "the road," we will, with the readers permission, give him a ride down, and show him a glimpse' of the busy, bustling world that shows and shines upon it, and will brag and "blow" on it, every fine afternoon during the season, and introduce) him to; some of the most prominent characters in that "gay and festive" throng, who disport themsolves behind their fast "nags." After having oar fast little sorrel attached to our new coal box wagon which we use because its the style, but which to our individual eye, leaving fashion out of the question, looks like one of those ominous conveyances, In which undertakers convey the dread sur roundings'of mortality to its lasirestirig place wo take a. careful survey of the situation to Bee that everything Is Patrlck.who attends to these matters, is the most careful man in tho world yet two pair of eyes sometimes see more than one, and your practical "roads man," who knows how much fate ofter hangs on an unfastened buckle, or a weak spot in the harness, never' mounts without first satisfying himself that all IS right and tight and emjg. Being saiiined in this particular we start off, going along Fulton street, Atlantic Btreet, to Fourth avenue, leisurely until wo "strike" the road at the city line.

Vi'o have started about three o'clock, and thero aro but few people on tho road as yet, so we drivo leisurely down to "TuniBons," which, as stated above, is the "headquarters," of all those who frequent tho road. There (hey all "pull up" as they, come along, put iip their teams, and drop into the gorgeous barroom, to imbibe come creature comforts; find out from "Michael," the courteous and good looking' bar keeper, who knows everybody on'the road, "Who fib been here since I'sh been gone?" and crack a joke with "Mort," the jovial host himself. Having imbibed a mysterious looking compound, concocted by the aforcBaid Mtohael, in a manner that left nothing to be desired, we take a Havana, and seating ourselves on. one of the commodious chairs on the front piazza; which commands a good view of tho road, will take a'glance at the crowd of horses and vehicles which now begin to darken it. The first ono that comes along is the veteran James Weaver, who is known to almost every one on the road, He drives past at a swift pace behiud his sorrel stallion, which haB been known to make his mile in close at bis heels is I).

Thoy both drivo faBt horeos, hut not faat enough to pass everything on the road. Here comes a crowd, and that "brush Fred Massy with his sorrelWill.

Glancing at Mr. McNamee, with his black mare, Georgo Hardy, with his flag tail bay horse, Mr, St, John, with his showy and Bpeedy sorrel, all flying past almost in a heap, the eyes of theloungers are attracted to a team of aorrels which is coming down tho road at a stun ning" rate.

Then following in quick succession come John Weaver, with bis fast bay maro, and close behind them, some chance has thrown together quite an array of public officials. There is a wagon the two occupants of which present a marked contrast as they rattle along at a rather quiet arid resectable pace. Tho one who holds the roins is slight of build, neat of attire, aud shrewd of appearance, with chin closely shaved and whiskers neatly trimmed, while his companion is heavy and Bolid, dressed like a man well to do in the world, without jewelryof any descripiion. His face wears a thoughtful look, as he converses with his companion, and he is probably now revolving in his mind tho details of hia "budget," for this is Mayor Booth, and biB companion is Supervisor Little, of the 20th Ward, who has takon bis Honor out for a ride, and here, behind them, is Ex Alderman Wallace, with a handsomo team of bays, aud Sheriff McNamee, who haB recently got into double harness himself, and who likewise drives a handsome bay team. The thickBot, wiry looking man behind, who drives his brown horse with euch a business air, is Anthony F.

Campbell, U. S. Marshal, aud tho Richelieu of the Republican party in this county. Tho Marshal doesn't Beem ho in a hurry and is passed successively by George Mumby with his sorrel horse, young Whitney with his black' horse, Polhemus with, his flag tailed eorrel, said to bo as fast as anything ou the road; Oakey with a slashing team, and Rosens of the same Btablo with another.

The English Opera has hitherto met with but limited success in this country. Several English Opera troupes havo dragged out a precarious existence for a season or two aud thon dis solved.

The causes of their failuro wore apparent enough, the organizations were incomplete. An opera troupe cannot bo maintained on (he same principle as a theatrical company, one or two stars, and a score of Bticks. An opera company requires at least half a dozen good voices. The lack ot talent in Amorican troupes has not arisen from any scarcity of talent in the country, American cantatricos havo carried off the highest honors on the Italian slage, witness, Miss Kel locg, Mile, Morcr.si, Madame Gucrrabella, Adelaide IbiUir and the late Mies Hinckley, and Madame ho. rini, and many others.

Tho Buperior inducements of the Kalian stage attracted these artists, and our native opera troupes could never securo a first rate prima donna. Tho manager of the now English Opora enterprise has been moroforttina'te, and has secured a com plement of artists ablo to sustain every department of the opera. Since the Pino Harrison troupe visited this country there has not been so comploto a company heard core, with most of the artists musical put). lie are acquainted. Miss Zelda Harrison made her debut here, and has always been a favorite in the concert rocm; Mrs.

Mozart ia a resident o( Brooklyn, and Miss Caroline Blehinga, the prima donna of the troupe, was known by reputation as one of the most finished vocaliBla on tho English stage The tnaloi department is headed by Messrs. Castle and Campbell, who havo often been heard here in opera and in the concert room. The success of the troupe in New York led us to expect an excellent performance on Saturday evening at the Academy of were not disappointed. The work produced was Mr. Julius Eichberg's "Doctor of Alcantara," a comto opera in two acts.

This work, though not strikingly original either in plot or music, is a valuable addition to the limited rereftoire of English opera, The plot is highly amusing and runs as follows Doctor Paracdm and a waiting maid, Ina, are adroitly put in fear of their lives, through having accidentally permitted a mysterious basket of goodly proportions to slip into the stream that Bom (as ever the poetlo and refreshing habit of Spanish' rivers) beneah the baok piazza of the Charlatan's' dwelling. is discovered in due coulee that an enamored swain, in' the shape of a youlh with a guitar attachment had been emugglod into wo nouse witha view or declaring ms intentions to Isalclla, bis inamorata.

Prussia desires to annex Holstein; Italy to seoure possession of Venitia; Austria to maintain her ascendancy in the German confederation. These ore the questions which threaten" the peaco of Europe, and they are precisely the questions which the proposed Congress has stipulated not to meddle EuBsia refuses her assent, except on the condition of the absolute exclusion of tho Polish question from the consideration of Other powers, and the wishes of Napoleon, who holds the peace of Europe in his hands, are probably expressed by his Minister of State, who intimates to the representatives of foreign powers in Paris that he has no belief in the success of the proposed movement. Of the people of the three powers now preparing for conflict, the Prussians alone seem to be decidedly opposed to war, but, nnder few governments has public sentiment lesB weight, and under none is it likely to be more fruitless.

Among none of the many conquered nations that go to make up the Austrian empire, is there any great opposition to war, for it is felt that tho Government is doing all it can to avoid a conflict; that Prussia is the aggressor. By the Italians war is even eagerly welcomed, for so long as Austria has a foothold in Italy, the new Italian Government must maintain, to secure itself from danger, a' standing army altogether out of proportion to its resources for its maintenance. Italy has, in peace, all the disadvantages of war, without any hope of relief. The government of Victor Emanuel cannot in peace provide for its expenditure by ordinary taxation, and a change seems to be a necessity of a continuance even of the government. Could Austria be driven from her fortifications in Italy, and compelled to abandon her pretensions altogether in that direction, the Italian army might be reduced to an extent that would enable the government to maintain itself without adding to its already vast and constantly augmenting debt.

In any event Napoleon has nothing to lose and everything to hope for from war. He detests what is left of the patchwork treaties of Vienna, and the war will enable him to discard them, and perhaps to secure for France what the Great Napoleon failed to establish its "natural boundaries." A war will place the destinies of Europe in the hands of Napoleon, for among the old opponents of French predominance there is no longer any agreement. England is rapidly losing her weight in European councils by her timid and selfish policy, and she seems perfectly willing to leave her old ally, Austria, to her fate, as she left Denmark after encouraging her to resist the pretensions of Prussia to determine the government of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. In the threatened war, the Austrian empire, always an anomaly, will probably fall to pieces. From Bussia no assistance can be expected, for Austria, in the Crimean war, left the Czar to brave Europe alone.

Lovers of liberty will see no reason to regret the downfall of the Hapburgs, and this the proposed Congress may postpone but can hardly avert. Coney Island in Danger. While the war is yet rapine in Canada, and a bigger conflict is pending in Europe, we are startled bv rumors of hostilities at our doors, and the prospect of having a "seat of war" in Kings County. The doomed spot is Coney Island. At this season of the year, tho Islanders, who have been in a comatose condi tion all the winter begin to wake up like the mosquitoes and prepare to fasten their bills upon luckless travellers and drain them of their currency.

Thoir visiono of tlio ooming harvest of greenbacks has been rudely disturbed by rumors that the Health Commissioners have designs upon their sandy territory. Having tried propitiatory offerings and entreaties in vain, Jackson Schultz has threatened to seize Coney Island vi ci armis, and establish on her soil a cholero hospital. Violent is the indignation of the roasters of clams, the compounders or cocktails and proprietors of bathing machines, and loud threats are said to have been uttered by a sturdy fisherman on the beach, in the hearing of a New York reporter, who ventured down there yesterday. A boat was seen to land a party at the point yesterday, which caused a report to spread among the Islanders that the enemy was upon them. It turned out, however, to be merely a pleasure party with hospitable and not hospital designs.

The excitement still prevails; the Coney Islanders are mustering like the Canadian volunteers, armed with boat hooks and clam rakes. The hotel keepers have formed a brigade, and if they only charge the sanitary invaders as fearfully as they charge their patrons, Schultz and his myrmidons will never be able to maintain themsolves on the Island, At last accounts all was serene on the Island, the invaders had not yet appeared. The arrival of every car from Coney Island is anxiously watched for the very latest intelligence. The Eight Hour Movement. The ship carpentevs of New York and Brooklyn have been on a strike, for some time past, for the purpose of enforcing as a rule that eight hours shall constitute a day's work.

Work at the shipyards in the two cities has been almost totally suspended, and the business is being driven to other cities. The workingmen of other trades not unnaturally sympathize with the strikers, and are contributing from their means to sustain them. If the business of ship building is driven from this city, as it most likely will be, if the strike continues any length of time, the workmen will suffer as well as their employers such of them as have their homes here. A discussion of the merits of the present strike would be unprofitable. The question whether men should work eight hours or ten hours a day, cannot be settled by abstract reasoning, or by legislative onactment.

It must be governed by the immutable laws of supply and, demand, and the value of labor. The trouble is, the advocates of the eight hour system claim that the workmen Bhonld be paid as much for eight hour's work as he received for ten hour's labor. The question came before the Detroit Common Council recently in determining the payment of street laborers. That body passed an settling the question on a common sense basis; the men could work eight or ten hours as they pleased; but; those who elected to work eight hours received twenty, per cent less wages than those who labored ten hours' a day. This is the only ra tional way of settling the question.

Eev. Db. Pise's Sucoessob. Much anxiety is fclt by the worshippers at St. Charles Borrorneo's church, Sidney place, of which tho lalo Dr.

Pise was pastor, as to who tho Bishop will appoint as his successor. Several prominent clergymen aro named for (De position, but nothing Uofinilo has yet been settled on. The Right' Rev. Bishop Loughlin preached an eloquent sermon at (ho church yeBterday, at the close of which he statod that it would probably be throe' or four weeks yet before a selection could be mado. He said he thought it proper to preach thero yesterday, in order to allay any anxiety that might exiBl.

In tho meantime, he recom mended ihem to pray with more than thoir usual devo.

Clergymen; howover eloquent, aro but feeble instruments in the hands of God, and without His aid their; labors can amount to nothing; their duty ia to teach man kind those great blessings of His wisdom and goodness. There was a meeting of tho parishonera held in the basement, after the last mass, the objeot of whioh was to close tho business connected with the decease of their late pastor. Owing to tho storm whioh prevailed at the time, it was not as well attended as could be wished for.

The Canada Invasion. The first ac' of the Fenian drama in Canada has closed, with the discomfiture of the invading force.

Little or none of the credit for this success belongs to the Canadian or British authorities. The fullest account of the conflict which has been received, seems to show that the Fenians fought with very considerable determination. On Friday, the forces under Colonel O'Neil landed on the Canadian border; instead of entrenching themselves at Fort Erie, as was telegraphed, they made a feint of moving on the important point of Chippewa, masking their movements so as to effectually deceive the Canadian authorities. The detailed account, in the Canadian interest, says: Early on Saturday morning, about two o'clock, the Canadian column was put in motion, marching down the main road toward Fori Erie, keeping cloae along side the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway. At this time It was difficult for us the Canadians, to obtain any definite information regarding the probable movements of the enemy or their aims.

It was deemed certain however, that the main body of tho invaders, under CoL O'Neill, had evacuated Fort Erie, after tearing up the railroad about a mile above, and had Btartod for Chip pewa, taking tho Northwestern Eailroad. Acting on thiB supposition, the two battalions of regulars were puBhed forward in the direction of Fort Erie as an advance column, while tho volunteers under the general command of Col. Booker, protected their rear aud kept open the line of communication with Port Colborne. On the arrival of tho advance of the leading column at Fort Erie, Bhortly after daylight, it was round that the enemy the FenianB had evacuated the place, but that instead of having marched for Chippewa, they had made a feint movement in that direction, having marched about four milcB down tho Chippewa road, and then striking into a cross road but through the limestone ridge road leading into Ridgoway. Colonel Booker, in command of the Canada militia, pushed forward to secure a favorable position at Eidgeway, but the Fenian leader anticipated him, and occupied a rising ground, where the Fenians awaited an attack.

The movements of the invaders seems to have been directed with very considerable skill up to this time and the Irishmen acted with that resolution and pluck both friends and foes expect of them when confronted by actual danger. The following account is evidently exaggerated so far as the charging and counter charging wa concerned, but it no doubt embraces the main features of what is called the battle of Bidge way. "As the Queen's Own" batallion debouched into the plain, and were advancing toward the position designated for them to occupy, they wore suddonly mot by a scattering fire from a clump of low bushes, which was scon found to bo a skirmish lino of the force nnder O'Neill. This upset all the preconcerted arrangements between the two oolumns of Canadian troops, and tho Queen's Own" woro compelled to take up a poor position behind a fence, exposed to a galling tiro, the Thirteenth Battalion advancing rapidly to their support. All this time tho enemy wero concealed in a small wood on the ridge.

Before the volunteers had fairly formed, an Ensign belonging to tho first company of tho Queen's Own, was killed by theenemy's skirmishers. Thoordor for an advance was then given by CoL Booker, when three distinct charges wero mado by the volunteers, each being repulsed by the enemy, who then came out for the first time, and charged upon the Canadians, throwing them into considerable confusion, and caused the order to retreat to bo given. The invading force pursued tho Canadians about a mile, making, however, no decisive demonstrations." The Canadian militia fell back on Port Colborne, and the citizens of that place commenced at once to leave. The militia busied themselves in telegraphing the news of thoir safety to their friends, iionopolizing, in so doing, the wires, so that the correspondent who sends the above account was unable to transmit a single word over the lines. Information reached Colborne that the Fenians had landed on an Island in the Niagara river, and all of the militia that could be induced to go, wero sent upon a tug to the point threatened.

The information turned out to be untrue, much to the relief, doubtless, of the Canadian braves. The party, however, fell in with a number of straggling Fenians, who were captured, and the militia in a body mado the be3t time they could for the tug with their prisoners. A party of Fenians went to the rescue of their comrades, but their first attempt was not successful. The Canadian correspondent naively adds "that the affair would un doubtedly have been a perfect success, had "not about twenty of the Canadians "become detached from tho main force "and were surrounded and captured." The officer in charge of the Canadians was wounded in the foot in attempting to recapture his men, and his leg has since been amputated. All that were left of the Canadians succeeded in getting on board the tug, and arrived safely at Clarborne with Fenian prisoners, but what number is not stated.

Tho Canadians who fell into the hands of the Fenians were released on parole, and with these movements actual conflict ended. Meanwhile the Fenian leader, O'Neil, finding that an overwhelming force was being concentrated against him, fell back on Fort Erie, but in attempting to recross the river, the tug upon which his men were placed, was ordered to surrender by the boats attached to the United States steamer Michigan. No resistance was the tug is'now under the guns of the the main Fenian force, including its commander and his held as prisoners by tho United States authorities. Thirty two Fenians, His estimated have fallen into the hands of the British. The Ttibuno states, we know not on what authority, "that as an indication of tho anxiety of tho United States Government to prevent the Fenians from crossing" the river, "the commander of the Michigan, newly ap "pointed, is an Englishman, having succeeded "an American officer who held the position "with credit" It is possible that the American people desire to exemplify, in dealing with Great Britain, the highest Christian virtue, by returning good for evil, but when the impunity with which raids on American torritory were, organized in Canada, during the lato war, and the insolence with which remonstrances on the part of our government were met, are considered, the "anxiety" displayed by appointing an Englishman to the command of a United States vessol for the more effectual disdolnfltuie of the Fenians, will hardly meet with the approval of any class of the American people.

There is no reason why our government should not do its duty in preventing the invasion of the territory of a power with which we are at peace, but we believe the capturing of Fenians should be left exclusively to the' British and their allies. If the English authorities could shut their eyes to the almost ostentatious fitting out of privateers in British porta, they would not have had much reason to complain if the attempts of tho Fenians under O'Neil to return had been overlooked. By conduct like this a sympathy will be excited for the Fenians which under other circumstances they could not count upon. The friendship of England is not worth this anxiety to secure, and it cannot be had in this way if it were, At all events the first act in the Fenian invasion has closed. If O'Neil's movement was a feint, intended to divert attention from operations in another'directipn, news from the chosen ground of attack cannot be long delayed.

view of the manifest weakness of the British in Canada, the forbearance of this Government during the late war is as remarkable a feature as any in the struggle. Had we turned Canada over to the Fenians, they would havomade short work of the rebel base of operations on' the border. We havo only to add that the Fenians hereabouts are not all discouraged by Colonel O'Neil's apparent fiasco. The main movement, they say, is under the direction of General Sweeney, who is on his way to the front. In another column wo publish Sweeney'B proclamation, which shows, at all events, that the attempt on Canada has not yet been abandoned.

Should it fail it will be due mainly to tho efforts of our government, By returning good for evil we may be "heaping coals of fire" on John Bull's head, but God forgive us, of the immediate past, we do not believe in punishing the wrong headed old gentleman' in this wayi nor does he believe in. this poJioyiu dealing with other 7 heading of a naughty colored girl, whero you say Mrs. Priscella McHenry, of 64 Prince street, haa recontly had a cninred cirl in her employ, whoso honesty she had re peated occasions to BUBpect, and had a warrant taken out lor her arrest.
