A PRAISI?\VORTilY PROJECT: QUEENS COUNTY L-. V.

Cocks, Geo. U . Bergi-n and Edwin lisiimeut ol Opera in the Metropolis. It redowns tn the credit of one of the wealth- jest citizens, namely Coni. Vanderbilt, flint he has so promptly tome forward and oitered a vul liable price - of property togeth er with a large sum . of money to Mr. Strakosch in ordeMhat his plans may he suc cessfully accomplished; It seems singular, that in nn exteneive.and wealthy ' city m New York, ..the idea already mentioned was not long ago consmnnmied. There are many cities upon the Continent of Europe, smaller in j population, possessing fewer advantages than our commercial centre, which , for years have sustained Opera tlie entire season in conjunction with tlie drama. Tlie City of Munich with only one hundred unit seventy ' thousand inhabitants, boastsjof one. of the bestjThea- tres in Germany, uponovhose stage Opera is represented almost weekly ; and the peo ple hppreeiating the opportunities given them, render the undertaking a success fl. imuclally as well; as otherwise. Surely tiien,. when cUies .like Dresden, Leqisio, Gassoli Hanover, and olliers 7 df:grealer or, lesser importance support first, class Opera, wliy cannot New Yorkers make it a suc cessful and established iustifiition in their midst? To be sure, to carry out tliose enterprises a vast amount of money will be required, but is it uof capital well in vested? Aside from the'iuteUeclual ad vantages it ailords, .would not an impos ing Opera House, ■ placed upon the site of Gilmore ’ s Garden be an ; ndditionul orna ment, and greatly enhance the values of surrounding property? fdusic iu wliut. ever form Iras ‘ potent influences upon (he noble sentiments of man,, arid those who . are desirous of cultivating themselves in the higher-branejies of this art, naturally seek to become familiar with thfl celebrated productions of men wlto compose for the singe. Tims nt once, we see of how mncU impoftauce Opera is: to all, for those Who care hot particularly for music can be pleasantly grnfiiieil, wliilo the zealous do- voters of melody are favored witii tlie. brightest- induccmunis, ' Jlusic coilibined with tragedy or. even comedy, renders.bdih 1 doubly iillraclivo, besides idlordiiig scope for the powers of line acting, iis xveii as Ihe highest altaimnent of vocal strength and beauty. .They who have even .witness^ ed Miss Kellogg: in Opera, can testifydo the truiltfuluess of the above,'for her act ing is excellent her yoiee exquisite.

Thus the plan seems feusilile, ami worthy of curour- ageirie.nt. Mr. Strukcscii has. for years been actively engaged in euHivaling .lhi (esiiie- tic tastes of tho lovers of musii; in New York, and inuler the superintendence, (if himself and iris brother, the new iijieia house would alluiri a glorious success. In place of the priisent low brick teikiing oeeUpying a lingo area, a magnificent and imposing one would be cousiruclral, ' and iii beauty of design would rival, either of those splendid piners of mtifllp lately crec- pjd .in Ylennii or Raris.
