AtMorWs ExcbuiiRC looms last evening, Mr. George Francis Train delivered a leclure on the fac'iffc Railroad, and ou the territory west of the Mi8Binplppi, to a lare audience composed Jof mnnj members of the. l oard of Trade, and in fluential mcichnnts of thia city. The following is an abstract of hie remarks : He woa not here to talk fun. And the occa giou ol bis comitift hero reminded him of fifteen or twenty years nco, when ho was strictly a btminoss nmn. U was only wlien he left home, and eaw something oi it, and learned some thines, wrote some books, became an orator and UtUraicur, that tbey seemed to foriret that ho hud Bturtcd brut us a business man. But he had no idea that a knowledge of tho world tended to destroy a man's business capacity. It is time we knew somethina of this Wcicrn country. The men on tho sva-sliore nre bont up double. They knew nothiuif of this Western world. AI.iny oi them have never been in Chicago, and how many of those in Chicago come w ithin lu'J miles of Oinaho f Theie Is but a confused idea ot the I'nciiie Jtailroad prevalent in the country. Few knew where that railroad Is located. The p.ihcv of this country lor titty years was to keep everything on tho seashore. Fourteen fctates were for half a century surrounded by a wall of tomahawks. Tho Indian lands were such as could not be penetrated. It was the policy of the North and South to keep thoe tomakawks there so tout you could note" there. All the legislation of the country tended to Hie benefit of these States. But finally Ohio worked westward, then Michigan Mopped westward, and .about tilteen years au,o there was a column of yoiiuu men of intellect who moved westward, despite the higher wacrcs ollered in ' Eateru cities, and came to Chicago. It contaius to-day 6(10 men (if more intellect and brains, men who m-uld know bi tter what to do if a suio were wrecked or an earthquake suddenly heaved ana moke under them, than any other ruo men hum tiny city except San Francisco, let ! thine men iii Chirniro don't know where ro locate the Omaha or tho Paeitic Railroad. What be proposed to show was, that these men tliee pioneers of the Iiiist, broke through this barrier ol Indians and drove them back". This column ol youusr niou U moving westward and arc cuing to make Omaha another Chicago. Now they arc across the Missouri and the Mis souri tribes are being pushid up towards Da cotah. This has only happened recently. Tho legislation of the entire country was for the F.ast. Nothing was Drought to bear in the inteioKts of the West. On looking at the map ol the world, he bad discovered that on a little spot only six hundred miles wide all the civiliza tion ot the world was located. This narrow belt ot land contains iKlU.OiM.OUO of white people. The mixed races and darker races were north and south ot this belt. It contained the Indian em pire, the ChincFe emnire, the Roman empire; and along tne same belt there was the French. Enahbb, and American empires. On that little belt were all tne cities ol importance iNankin, l'ekiu. Canton, Bombay, Calcutta; then Car thage, Rome, and Greece; tnen you come to Berlin, Vienna, Fans, ana .London, and then you cross ihe ocean. Columbus has leceivcd credit ior what he did not deserve. He stinted lor China, and struck an itland 4UUU miles across.. He start ed for a new road to China, but he came here and fount! it not. Ou this belt crossing the ocean j on have what? Hero is Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, Pittsburg and liul faio, Cincinnati and Chicago; then right on the lir e St. Louis and Davenport, Leavenworth and Omaha, and another step onward Utah and San Francisco. This belt burroundd the world. Civi li.ation is on t hat liue. Wow we have iust discovered a new country. Every 2000 years there is some great idea that springs Into existence, tour thousanrt years ago the Pyramids were built. Two thousand years later the Catacombs and Pompcy's Piaar were erected, ana two thousand years alter we found that while Louis Napoleon is cutting his way through Keypt ou bis way to Asia, we were now cutting our way over tne itocKy Mountains to Asia, and we shall get thero first. We got our ideas train the East. The sun moves with its splendors tram the East to tho West: tho stars come over in their planetary system I'roin the East to tne west; aud cnnstianity came away Irom the Eait onward towards the West; the magical leiters ami ligurosare from the East. But it cauic from tlic East by accident. It should have come from tne West. Why didn't they come tram the Pacific to us? Simply, out ol the policy of England. The policy ot England ' bas ruled this country up to the time ot the law war. it ruled America, rue American upvoiu- tion was a dead tailure. Commercially and financially we nave been ruled ever since. until they put an end to that. That policy bound in tne thirteen States, and made the world believe we bad a great mlaud desert. Only the other day we discovered that we had not an inland desert. Every two thousand years a cieat idea springs up, and now it is the Pacific Railroad. Air. Train then went on to speak of the progress ot the Pacinc Railroad, tie said that there were already 40 miles of the Pacific Railroad open; that bv the 1st of February 20 miles more will be completed; in January next l()0 miles; at the end ot two years 200 miles: at the end of five years it will be open, and meet the line comicg this way. In that time he expected to see cnicago gentlemen going over tne lino. He then spoke of the distances from one point to another, it was m miles on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad to Boonesboro; 140 miles from Boonesboro bv stage to Umaha. lo pass, between these two places it now occupies Irom thirtv-hve to sixty hours. It was proposed to pay thirty thousand dollars for a new line of stages between these two points, by which peo ?le could travel tho distance in sixteen hours, 'his would make it thirty-five hours l'rom Chi cago to Omaha, and in June next three hours more to Columbus, a distance of 100 miles on the Pacific Railroad, making forty hours from Chicago to Columbus, a distance of about 600 miles: adding to this thirty-six hours to come from jNew York to tins city, and it would make seventy-fix hours from New York to Columbus. ton this line of the Pacific Railroad it was proposed to build cottagos at stations at diS' tances of tony miles apart. To pass to the terminus of this roi:d tu California it will then be necessary tor emigrants and traflie from Europe to pass through New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Omaha, Denver City, Utah Territory, and California. Men who had been interested in the planning of railroads to the Pucilio had not Intended that Chicago fhould reap any advantage Irom them. It was their intention to benefit St. Louis alone. II Chicajo reaped any advantage from them H was to be through H . Louis. Had It not been for the efforts ol a lew devoted, earnest men, their debigns would have been carried out, and the Pacific would never ln.vc had anv connection with Chicago. The gieat Slates of New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Mis-ouri, and Colorado had been bfimle i together to nav out Chicago, and it was about tune for the people of this city c heiriu to nnderntuhd th's question ol the Pacinc Railroad. The mini who deserves the greatest credit for his eilorts against this combination, au,! in lavor of Chicago. wa-tT. (!. Dunn, and as the result of tUo-e eil'orti, in five years Irom this time tho neotila of Chicairn ennlil go all the way to Ban Francisco by railroad. An organization agreement had beentormed between Kansas City and Omaha to eauso the traffic to pass tt.rouph St. Louh to those place. How was Chicago to prevent this? The wnv tj nre. vent this wssby making a direct communication from this place through lowi. Thin tn h done by tho opeulug of the Cedar Rapids Rail- roau, euiiiiiienciuK n wihi me I ill cago ana Northwestern Kaiirrwj. when viewed us an In strumerit for this purpose, the Chicago and North wetUrn Knitroad deserved praise, although ii bed routed the oppotuiou of the turner, and merchants ol the West- by its excessive Ire'ght tarilts. ' Ihe speaker then referred more in detail to tho plan oi organic ng a swltt line of staacs from Poonrfboro to Oi.isha, and characterized the line which at prefect Tuns between thoe pomts as one eo poorly managed that it would not bo tolerated in anv other part of tho world. Ho waniea tio.duu ior mis line, and iu,in ui mm Irom Chicago merchants and capitalists, each to pay $250. if cacti man paid that sum It would requite only forty men to raise tho $10,000 tn this citv. Afe did not want one man t pay mora than $260 each, lor he wished all to take an Interci-t, and have somethinc at stake in that sta-o line, lor then he would be sure to succeed. The lcctun r bb he would pay 85000 himself towards it II no one else would; but, ii possible. he wished to t-ce o hers do it. the people must look alter this ti;iu' lor the-r own interest. The speaker thou tt it -d it was the intention of uoionci i;rowu to start, a nuu.-crnniuu ior ims purpose to-duy. It was tho liiw ii'ion of the Chicago and North western Rood to push their lines through as rapidly an post-ible. Air. Walker, chairman oi iue nierunir, umr said that the people of Chicago underestimated the ininortunce of Minnesota, and thero was a chance, it the merchants of this city did not. look alter their inleres id more eioseiy, oi losing mo entire trado of thin, large State. That portion of that State whirh bordered upon the .Mississippi it would at any rate be impossible to retain the tiade or; but ttip trade oi those sections wmcn were noi wiium h coiivi'iiiuui. uimuiiui: i umi river nuebt still be saved to Chicago if proper ef crts were made for that purpose. The same thing might also l e suid with relation to Colo rado. Those two States had two and a half times the territory ol all New England, and it was tturefore important that Chicago should use every effort to save to itself the trade of that tenltory. II r. Train then continued speaking of the in mense freight business that wasalrcadv est b) rhed on the In e of the route ot the Pacific Ri ilroad. and sti.ted that it Kansas City, St. J( feph, Nebraska t ity, Omaha, aud the other towns oi tnat sici onot tne country were con sidered in a calculation of the amount ot freiaht that was carried to und fro, it would amount to no less than 1(i0,(m0,0G0 of pounds per annum that would pat-s between the Jlisshsippi river and the country west This would be enough to keep one line of read running two trains of thirty cars each, tuny loaded with freight for tho West, twice a Ik. , all the year round. Thero would, he doubted not, be enough lrelght to carry to support two lines of railroad, within a ycry tew years. The speaker then df scribed the vast resources ol the country through which the Pacilic Rail road will pass, and spoke of the salt regions which w ere found in this section of the country, saying that instei.d of, as was now the case, im porting talt from r.uglonu, we suouiu, wuen this road was completed, be able to export S'dt to England. He iiien referred to the agricul tural resources and capabilit ies of the lands bor dering the route i f the Pacific Railroad, and eaid Unit in the i'lutte valley forty-nine bushels ot wheat had bee raised to the acre. There was no ric her land upon the lace of tho globe than this. It wus one dead level ol the liuest agricultural r.nd pastoral land that could be louud in the country. It was not true, as had been nfsei ted, thut this Fect.on of country was destitute of timber and luel. Black walnut could be found in any quantity, and the best quality of coal also, though not tn bo found in that region itseli, could be got at a shorter dis tance than New 1 ork and several ot the large cities ol the eat lmd to go there lor theirs. He then stated that the Pacihc Railroad Com pany owned every alternate section of land ou the line ot their proposed route, and that land in the section boroenng the line could be pur chased lor $260 per acre. '.' Ihe speaker concluded his address with a de scription ot Omalia, and the fortunes that enter prising joung men could make there, and ex plained the working ot a building association which had been formed lor the purpose of in creasing the duellings of that city, aud stated the capital laid out in bunding cottages would return a protit of lorty-eight per cent, on the invertment. At the conclusion of Mr. Train's address the meeting adjourned. - , Musical and Dramatic Cruvelli (the Baroness Vigier) lately sung in a mass at Madeleine Church,' Paris.

Gi an lias produced L'Africaine In Chicago, but the hoarseness ol some ot his singers interfered with its complete success. Ho was to have given the .farew ell performance last Saturday. Speaking of the music of 18G5, the Orchestra savs: 'The oratorio has rot been neglected, and the Kaaman of Mr. Costa, the Job ot Dr. Chipp, the Gxdein of Dr. Stainer, testify to the industry of our composers, ana the appetite of the public tor works ot this high class ot composition. There appears to be a determination to depart from the forms hitherto considered peculiar to this school of composition, and to take to any and every form of melody and modulation; but the exchango of modern and familiar thoughts nnd figures tending to the bpiiishment of the reflective nnd calculated harmonies of the old masters is not progress, and certainly no lasting, if novel, phase iu the interpellation ot an ora torio. Ihe only English oratmio of this century ot any mark is that bv Dr. Crotch, and nlthough of a stranue and hybrid character, takes its place as a classic by reason of the power dis played in its peculiar oddities, its perverse anomalies, and its defiant integrity. There is no Englisman living that cau write a Crotch chorus." Proressor Wvlde. in hiq Inst, flrpsh.ani lnr. turc on "Mueiciil taste," thus criticizes Meyer beerprobably on the principle that "a cat may look at a king:" 'Nearly all of Meyerbeer's music is suggestive of ideas which fail in actual musical representa tion, and, therefore, he presents us with a species of composition only capable of satisfying the judgment through the exercise of the imagina tion. Admitting that judgment refiuires cor rect form, order, and de-sign, in musical com- nosition. Mia primer's music, rnnnnt f'nllv snHsfv the critic. u its appeal to the action ot tlie internal sense ' which requires an idea so ob viously represented in the music that it matters not w hether the listener be instructed in the scienca or not. Meyerbeer's music proves un satisfactory, but whin we admit that judgment may pronounce a verdict in favor ot that which the imagination tills up, and to a mini capable of appreciating an idea, which the music even imperfectly suggests, those compositions ot JHejeroeer Become eminently caicul.tted to neuse; and whilst they but half satisfy the uogment, except as suggestions lor ideas to the mind, they are well adapted to flin-l favor with . 1. . . : !.. 1 I : T j , . . ,, uiv iiiuuiu-i uuu imaginative musical lasie. The system of boy choirs, which is becoming so popular here, is thus satirically discussed by one or me uoiuion weeklies: "In certain cases, we may take suroliced chori. ters to represent an integral and import ant Doition ot a system ot limn Church mil 1- rfVr.Y und tailoring that has its charms ior somo esthetic tastes, and for thot-e to whom it is a delicious sensation to tremble in the balance between England and Rome, and to ape, as near as possible, the gorgeous and sensuous ceremo nial ol the latter, without renouncing the simple liturgical worship ol the former. "Now, to vestments and other ecclesiastical frippery appertain Ihe advantage that they are insensate things, though productive of a taste ior the sensuous; tney can be Kept in their place, and, with monotonous regularity, made to as sume a decent external garb. But singing boys are mil laus atter an; and, although in Mrs. Wood's novels they may be represented as prodi gies of virtue and exemplars of good conduct. vet in reality, we know that they will often laugh when they ought to be serious, and will chatter when they should be intoning. The chorister, In short, is one whose ill-behavior must be winked at for the sake of his angelic voice; so that oltentimes he is vox et praierea num." A mythological legend has been tortured into a play for the New Royalty Theatre. Lou don. It 1b calicd Prometheus; or, The Man on tne nock, and is written by Mr, U. Reece. , "Prometheus, one of the Titans, incensed at the. usurpation of Saturn's dominions by Jove, has devised a plan of rebellion bv modelling from clay the human race, but falls in the chief ouiect the giving ltality to his models. Jove, sucpecting his design, sends Mercury and Apollo to discover the secret; and Prometheus, taking advantage of their visit, thrusts a stall' into the wheels of the Sun chariot, and enlightens his clay folks. whose sudden vivifieation and progress greatly incense the gods, who rush en masse to Jove lor retribution. Jove accordingly seizes Prometheus, and atter chaining him to a crag ot Caucasus, causes Vulcan to fabricate a model woman, named suggestively Pandora, whom he sends to Prometheus for a wife, together with a closed box tor a dowry. This box, which contains all the ills of man. is incautiously opened (according t Mr. Keece's burlesque alteration ) by Outis, the mother of Prometheus. and the thousand woes now inflicted on man become the means of Jove's revenge. Hope, however, lingers at the bottom of the box. and on her intercession Prometheus is released on parole. The principal characters wvre well sustained by Miss Maitland (Anollo). Miss Banks (Mercury), Mips Reeves (Prometheus), and Mibs Burton ( euus)." LEGAL NOTICES. T7STATE OF WILLIAM RICHARDSON. J.J Dcaicd.
