By the completion of the bridge over the Thames River, at New London, Conn., it is hoped the time be- tween Boston and New York of the above trains will be materially shortened ; so that now, with new and greatly improved rolling stock, the finest dining, drawing-room, and sleeping cars, and a continuous rail pas- sage between the two cities, the service of the Shore Line has become as nearly perfected as is at present pos- sible, and it has no superior in New England. The New London bridge is the largest drawbridge in the world, and the vexatious and delaying ferries at this point are entirely done away with by its completion. J. R. KENDRICK, Gen'l Manager. GEO.

Cherubini was the son of a Florentine musician. He began to study music when six years of age. At sixteen, he had composed an oratorio, three cantatas, and some lesser works. Born four years later than Mozart, Cherubini, who died in 1842, forms a link between the classic and roman- tic schools. All his works are notably pure in form, those of his church period being superb examples of constructive skill ; while, in sentiment, they are scarcely less noble than those of Bach and Beethoven. Cherubini's artistic career is divided into three periods. " The first, 1760-91, when he was writing motets and masses d la Palestrina and operas in the light Neapolitan vein, may be called the Italian period. The second operatic period opens with ' Lodoiska,' though the beginning of the change is apparent in ' Demophon ' (1788J in the form of the concerted pieces, in the entrance of the chorus, and the expressive treatment of the orchestra. ' Me'de'e ' and ' Les Deux Journe'es ' form the climax of the operatic period. The third period, that of his sacred compositions, dates, properly speaking, from his appointment to the Chapelle Royale in 18 16, though it may be said to have begun with the mass in F (1809), which is important as being the first sacred work of his mature life, though it is inferior to that in A, and especially to the requiem in D minor. The requiem in C minor is at once his greatest and most famous work." Though he composed many works for the stage, and was at the head of the Paris Conservatoire for an extended period, Cherubini made no lasting impression on French opera. Like Gluck in some respects, his music, when contrasted with the livelier muse of Boieldieu and Auber, who came after him, was thought too severe by the volatile French. He wrote the GRAND, UPRIGHT, AND SQUARE PIANO-FORTES. For more than fifty years before the public, these instruments have, by their excellence, attained an unpurchased pre-eminence, which establishes them the unequalled in TONE, TOUCH, WORKMANSHIP, AND DURABILITY.

The work suffered from a poor libretto, and, while containing numbers of great beauty, failed to win the popular success throughout Europe which was accorded the earlier operas, " Me'dee " and " Les Deux Journe'es." The overture has long been a favorite concert piece. It is related that, " when first performed in London, it received a double encore.
