Want of space on :! , att daY prevented pub lication in our columns of a notice of Mr. Carl Wollsohu's Schumann matinee given in the foyer , of the Academy on Friday. This 4.toncert was one of the most delightful of the series. The principal feature of the programme wastlic &Was/sin C Major which is; not only the greateat of Schumann's compositions for the piano, but one 011ie most Splendid Crea tions for that instrument ,in existence. It abounds in ideas, and it brings into play all' the modern improvements in pianos. The first movement is fantastic and full of pathos and passion; the second is grave, massive and march-like, working up con stantly to great climaxes ; thelhird one is a beautiful slow movement, full of delicious melody from beginning to end. The difticul ties of this piece are appalling, but they were overcome by Mr. Woltsohn, WhO played with customary elegance, delicacy • and : fooling. This was the first performance of the fantaltc ever given in this country, and we are glad to record that it gave, intense satisfactiOn to the audience: The trio for piano, violin and violoncello was given at one of the concerts last winter but we were glad to hear it again from 'Messrs. Wolfsohn, Kopta and Bening, for it is a delightful composition, and it was played splendidly. We must accord waim praise to Mr. Wolfsohn's management of the exquisite Schumann Rornanze and the Triiwnerei , both of which were given in most artistic manner. Mr. Gastel sang tastefully and well, nut only in the Schumann song, but in two others, which atoned for Signor Barili's absence. The next concert of this series—the " Riff Matinee," will be given on the Bth of April.

The audience was larger than might have been expected, considering the inclement weather, and we were pleased to observe an increased number of our. French acquaintances present. The play, although it is long enough to fill completely the two and a half hours which form the model length of an evening's enter tainment, is adjusted (except a trifling soubrette role) to three actors only, whose parts thus become excessively arduous. MAI. Juignet and Edgard, with Mme. Moreau, were the three persons cast in the piece, while the remainder of the company watched the acting of their comrades with a great deal of interest fiom the auditorium. Moreau, as the cantankerous and revengeful Mextcan lady who finally becomes "demexiquint4e" by ad miration tor her manly hushand2-Juignet, ay the much-enduring but spirited bridegroom,— and Edgard as the lady's father, were all ad mirable in their way, keeping up their spirits to the cud, although almost constantly on the stage.

Eighty-three miles aro about ; completed and equipped, &WI already show largo earn. logs ; and the remainder of the line is rapidly progress ing toward completion.' The State of lowa, through which thin road runs, is one of the richest agricultural sections in America. Its large population, extending with surprising ripidity, and its immense yield of grain, pork, wool and other ag• rieultural products, create It pressing demand for the construction of this road, which affordi the best possible guarantee for the houdhoblern, especially as the line runs through the wealthiest and most thickly popnlated section of the Butte. The t oad also runs through she rich and growing State of Minnesota. Reference to the map of the Unitid States will show that it traverses the most enterprisins and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the great trunk lines in direct communication with New York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the latter city ninety miles nearer from .Northern tow . ti and nil par- Hone of the Mute of Minnesota than by any other road now built or projected, and also the, nearest mutt, from Central and Southern lowa.

The building of the railroad north from St. Paul to Duluth, 'at the head &Lake Superior, where five railroads will soon centrethe'con struction of the Northern Pacitic Railroad, already begun—and the rapid developinent of a new and productive country In - Minnesota and the NorthWeS't, must furnish a largo Southern traffic. As the Upper Mioissippi is frozen over during the Winter,anil stn naviga tion is often uncertain during the Summer, from low water, this road must ,have at all times a large amount of transportation, and a monopoly of the business at Some seasons of the year. Its connections with other lines in terested by mutual ownership or running ar rangements, will give it almost the entire north and south travel between its terminal points and their vicinity. • '• This road will have a great advantage ,over anyother Western line in carrying the best quality of coal from where it is abundant in Southern lowa to Northern lowa and Minne sota, where none is to be found, and in secur ing return freights of lumber, for which the demand is very great. • Forty-six miles of the line are just • com pleted, and eighty-eight miles more aro graded. An abundant supply of iron, ties, and other materials has been contracted for. The Company have a large and daily increas ing surplus of money oh hand, and the stock subscriptions, and the sales of bonds, give them ample mearia to push the work forward, so'that, with favorable 'weather, it is expected that the whole line wiil be completed this season. SECURITY OF THE INVESTMENT. So far as we can learn, every completed railroad in the Northwest is not only earning the interest on its bonds, but a dividend on its stock, and we believe the CENTRAL OF lOWA roust occupy an equally strong finan cial position. • The amount of Bonds to be issued is but $16,004) per raile,or less than four millions,in all Of which over One Million have already been Sold.
