The opening opera will be the very popular Vespere SiciDienne or the Traviata, hut this has not yet been detenniued on The company is one of the very best overcollected tojr'ether in this country.

The family circle which is an exceedingly desirable location, is fixed at fifty eems. Now we appeal with confidence to the Brooklyn public to justify this liberal management by liberally supporting it, and we have no doubt the first season of Opera in Brooklyn will have a success that will justify opera managers in sparing no exspensc that may be necessary for the proper production of grand operas iu the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Some of the active brethren around the platform seemed to be rather disappointed that sensation preaching did not command a higher premium than but the knowing ones must have been quite satisfied with the result. Indeed the Pastor wa3 heard to nn. swer affirmatively in response to the inquiry "isn't it all right, considering the hard times;" and there may be many others who in all probability think it much more than "right." Young Men's Christian Association.

TnE Young Men's Chmstian Association held their monthly meeting in their rooms at the Brooklyn Institute last evening, Koht. S. Bussing, presiding. The minutes of preceding meeting were read and approved, and the names then proposed admitted to membership. New members proposed: Mrs.

J. R. Pomeroy, the Misses Emily and Mary Eames. Letters were read by the Secretary from Rev. Messrs.

Holmes and Willetts thankfully acknowledging life meni berthip. The President announced with regret that serious illness prevented Mr. Eiias Lewis from delivering the Essay announced for that evening. The Association would now take up the miscellaneous business. On the subject of temperance, it was a gratifying fact thtt nearly all the clergymen in the city had responded to the circular addressed to them hy this Society by appealing from their pulpits to the ladies not to introduce wine or spirits in the setting of their tables on New Year's.

The appeal to a great extent had the desired effect. The President further called attention to the furnishing cast off clothing to the poor at this inclement season. A Society does exist lor furnishing food and eoal to the poor, hut the want of clothing is keenly felt. Now in almost every house there is stowed away piles of old clothes that would be cheerfully given if called for. It will be for us to devise some meanB of giving these poor people the benefit of what would no doubt be cheerfully placed at their service.

Mr. Holmes reported from the lecture committee that on or about the 1st of February, Mr. Gough would deliver a lecture before the Associationprobably in the Academy of Music, if the expense i hould not be too great. The President drew attention to some recent acquisitions by the library. $5,000 had been raised for the purchase of books, In spring we shall reckon on 3,000 volumes, and with regard to the gymnasium, it is only retarded by this crisis in the affairs of the country.

His faith in that gymnasium was strong as ever. Mr. George Hall was glad to see the subject of old clothes taken up by the Association. They are wanted for men, women and children. Few can realize the fact that more than one hundred thousand dollars worth of cold victuals alone is collected in the city of Brooklyn.

It is very an nojing to be sure to have these people come round rapping at our doors, and when he had the honor to be Mayor of the city, he had been called on to enforce the laws against those "beggars," as they are called; he refused to do so, however, knowing the amount of human suffering averted by this means ol timely assistance. This species of relief which would otherwise eo to waste, Kept hundreds out of the books of the Overseers oi the Poor. Mr. Andrew A. Smith spoke in praise of the Truant's Home aud the pleasure he derived from his visit to the institution on the day subsequent to Christmas day, while the inmates were enjoying the bounty of the Association.

He described in glowing terms the Christmas tree and its fruit bearing gifts, of the emotions of the children, of the universal happiness which prevailed. Mr. Vm. E. White drew attention to the helpless condition of convicts discharged from the Penitentiary, who from the circumstance of their incarceration could obtain no employment.

Drunkenness was one of this class of offences, and outside assistance was needed to help them to regain their position. Mr. George Hall endorsed Mr. White's argument. A few kind words has led to the reformation of numbers addicted to drink, and society has no better members than some who at, one 'ANTED A YOUfG LADY WOULD LIKE tn hn.lrrl with a wrWIftw lortir nfin cm oil nrlirofa family, where there are no other boardera.

The report is said to be based on a telegraph despatch from Washington. Tlio particulars, as stated, are that on tho arrival of the steamer Star of the West off Charleston Bar she was ilrcd upon by theSouth Uaroliniaifmilitary and thata (Ire from Fort Suniptcr was directed upon them by Major Anderson.

What tho result was has not transpired. Indeed, wo consider it doubtful that anything of the kind has taken place. Still it may be so, but we prefer to see its confirmation before placing much reliance upon it. Tho report spread like wild lire, however. It was discussed at the offices in the City Hall, at the Police Head Quarters! Saloons and Eating Houses.

Everybody appeared to labor under the impression that something had occurred; but wo think that the report originated from statements in the Washington dispatches published in tlio morning papers. If anything has occurred it will be seen under the telegraphic head in to day's paper. Thialof Policemen. The Police Commissioners were engaged yesterday in the trial or several lirooklyn policemen on charges whieh had been brought against them. The examination of tlie case of officer Oaynor of the 2d Precinct, who was charged with maltreating a prisoner at Fulton ferry, resulted iu showing by the complainant's own testimony that ho (the complainant) was the aggressor.

It appeared that he followed the officer who was prtrollng his beat and using abusive language pirehed him several times. Tlio officer told him as often to go away, but his advice not being heeded, he resorted to forcible measures and locked him up. The complaint will doubtless bo dismissed.

It is not often we give a review of a little Twentv five Cent. VotuME, but tho one before us is so thoroughly beautiful that wc must say a few words.

First tbent as to appearance It is pocket size 123 pages tinted paper exquisitely bound in embossed cloth, richly gilt leathered and gilt edges. It contains no less than ninetceu poems by Known writers (illustrated), upon tho various months aud other subjects and no less than a hundred valuable recipes for all sorts of purposes. It contains charming drawings of the various ladies fashion from the year 1700 to 1S25. It contains a ruled diary for each month. It contains no less than SO clever engravings.

In short, in the wholo 12S pages there is not a word to be spared and we can scarcely conceive auy thing more that could be added. It is a little book without whieh a lady's work table or reticule is not complete and yet the price is only Twenty five Cents. Tho solo agent for Brooklyn iB Mr. J. (3.
