Special Dispatoh to The Chicaao Tribune. ParcApELTHEIA, June 27.—That the interest in base ball in this city 18 as lively aa over, was sbundaotly manifested to-day by the largo at- tendanco at tho contass botween the Philadel- phia and Athletic cluts. Infact, this season as 8 whole lias, up to ths time, been moro success- 1.1, ia a pecnoiary point of view, than any yro- vious one, su far as tho gate receipts are cop- ce:ned. Tho game opened very auspicionsly for the Athetics, the score at the end of the sixth ioning standing 13 to 7in their favor. In thenext two inninge, however, the Philaaelphias, byshort, eafe hits, assisted by errors, added eightruns to ther score, whilo their opponents ouly gocured three. All was now excitement in the Philadelphia and Atbletic pavilions, and the Btosk of Penrls ran high. The ardout hopes of the Quakers’ backers smounted to naught, for in the last inming both clubs drew blanks, and the gam= was over, in favir of the Blue Less by & majority of ome. This game bad been looked forward to with great auxictv, as it was confidently expect:d that the Philadelphias would at last gain & long-desired victory over their home oppovents. The victory was won by baing, tho Athletics ‘meKing twenty-threebase hits to their onponents’ sixteen. McBride and McGeary both made four, cue each a two-baser, and Sutton, Clopp, sod Gednoy each three, one of Clapp's being for three bases, Ciaver, Eggler, and York each mado three base hits, thetwo former getting to third on one. Cummiugs' pitchiwg was remarkable only for the ease with which it was controlled hy the batsmen. The Philadelphias obtained twelve bases on errors, tho Athietics pine. The playing of Battin' at second was tho feature of the game. Two difficult flies taken by bim the last in- ning. contributed more than anvthing elso to tha result. Of tbe fifty-four outs, thirty were by fly-catcbes, York leading with eight, followed b Geduey with five, Battin three, Craver threo, Holdsworth thice, Epeler two, McGeary two, Tieler two, Sution and Cummings each one.

DARING HICHWAY ROBBERY. A party of five or six thieves made s “sure thing ” of it when they robbed Morns Hereley on Thursdav night. He was in & pretty waiter- girl saloon at the corner of Canal and Randolph streets, and very foolichly dieplayed 3 roll of greenbacks to tha gaze of & gaug of fellows who surrounded him. A party informed bim that he was in danger of being Tobbed, and, although fuddled shightly from cverdoses of beer and liquor, he walked ont with a young man, & friend, and started homeward, taking a Madieon -street car. He alighted at Ads street, and, when in an isolated place between Lake and Fulion streets, was attacked by the robbers, who knock- d Lim doup, aud took from him $23 aud avilver wateh and chain valucd st 235, His companion was also knocked down, but not having saything to Jose, reccived kick because of it, and ~was al- lowed to lay in the epot where be foil.

Pavr, June 27.—The delsyed war mate- rial for Custer's expedition, sent from here this morning by special freight, will reach Bismarck on Monday morning. About tho same time Cuater will recoivo & document from Bishop Hare, of Neobruuah, I learn indirectly from the writer, being a vigorous protest of that pre- late against Custer's project, which was ad- dressed to the President, Being eent to him through the Secietsry of the Interior, it was referred without advice or comment to the Secretaryof War, by him to the commanding Gen- eral, and 80 on down to Custer. Disiop Hare's protest refers to the treaty of 1868, by which the sols -occupancy of the Black Hills “and adjacent country was guaranteed to the Indians, snd under which threa military posts in the reserved country wore abaudoned, and have not Bince been occu- pied, and asserts that Custer’s expediion will do more harm to the President’s policy of civil- izing the Indiaos than can be undone by all in- fluonces combined in many years. About 5,000 Sioux are settled on farmin reservatious. Through these I am informed thal several delegations from huutor-bends have gone to Custer, urging and beggiug him not to break their treaty by invading their country. Custer: told them’ his purposes were peaceful. He would not attack them, but would defeud himeelf if attacked, and would procced to any part of the couniry he pleased. 'Tho delezates, returning to the bauds, could not give them eatisfactory nssurance, but couuscled thom to prepare for the worst. Since thou the huuter Indisna have bidden defiance to Custar instead of pleading for poace, and are convinced that his purposes_sre not peaceful ; that he meaus to occupy the Black Hills country sud bring iu the whites to dispossess them. They will thercforo assemble all their well-armed war- riors, about 5,000, aund will dispute Custer's ad- vanco &t every opportumty., The farmer Sioux, who had hoped in & few years to induce the major part of the hunters to join them, are discouraged. ‘The missionaries and sgents are much dissetisfied, saywg tho country is sbout being plunged into s grest Indiau war, which will cost millions of money ana many hives ; that there is no sutficient csuse or excuse for the expedition ; that but for the attompts frum Montaua to invade their countiy there would oe no Sioux hostile to the whites ; that considering the nambers of that people, 40, 009, with their :ode of life and frequent contact with reckless whites, their general peacable in- clination is remarkable. The hunter Indians cavefully protect the Black H.ls, even from themselves, as a grand game preserve. It is their annual Council ground, their last reliance. Fivally, it is charged by those denouncing the expedition that its tirst object i8 to give an op- portumty for the promotion of Custer, its sub- ordinaze objects being 3 war to interest tho couutry and incline it to favor a military Pree- ident, with the hope that the opening ¢f ‘& Dew and rich country will belp loosen currency. Oue of my informants adds tnat Custer will not bo disappointed 1 fight'ng. He will have enough of 1t, but wil be disappointed in gold, of_which he will find none. It is rerotted hers to-day that a partof the members of the volunteer Scientific Corps, leain- 1ug from Bismarck people and Custer's scouls the true state of facts, have determined toaban~ don the expedition. Indian Murdcrs Ieported Near Dodge City, Kan. 81. Lovis, June 27.—A last Leavenworth Times says mail advices from Dodge City, Kan., telegraphic reports that the Indians ity hizve assumed a hostile atciiude, aud sre murdermg citizens and depredating upon property.

New ORLEANS, June 27.—In the United States Circuit Court, in the Grant Parish case, Judge ‘Woods rendered & decision on motion for a new trinl, which was refused. The extra Picayune gives the following sc- count of the further proceedings in the Grant Parich case : At 12 o'clock Juatice Bradley took bis seat on the bench with Judge Woods, and ansounced that he had prepared a decision npon the points raised by Jlr. Marr in arrest of judg- ment and_ testing the constitutionality of the Ku-Klux act. Justice Brad- ley then 1ead his_ decision, & _most lengthy, exhaustive, and intelligent ono. Under the indictmanc the prisoners were chaiged with, first, conspiracy o take away cortain 1izats from citizens of African descent: second, tho com- ‘mission of murder whilst eagaged in this conspir- zcy, and found guilty of mixteen counts. Tbat Congress has the rigut to pass laws to carry ot the provisione of the Thirteent, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, no one willdeny. The questicn 18, is the law for this nght. The Thir- teenth Amendment declares that all persons in the United States shall not be disqualified trom voting on account of race, color, or previous condition. The United States is not given the power to pass laws relative to elections or voting, but simply to see that the States do rcot interfere with these rights. The United States has only the power to see theso rights enforced. The moment the State fails to comply with the dutics enforced upon it, the Umted States is called on to inter- fere, and the interference of Congress, when a State is rendy to punish a violauon of these nights, is unnecessury, injudicious, aud illogal. To counstitute an offcnse of which the Umted States bas junsdiction it must bo shown that & consviracy was formed to take awsy certain rights from s pereon on account of his race. color, or previons condition. Tho Fifieenth Amendment declares that the right of every citizen of the United States to vote shall not be denied by the United States or any State on sccount of his race, color, or previous condition. When n State refuses this right, Conpress has the power co pass laws to onfoice the euwendmont. Congress has also the power to securo these rights azainst ndivid- uals; therefote, I am unwilling to afiim the un- constitutionality of this act. But let us examine the couuts of this in- dictment. The first count charges the prisoners with conspinng to pre- vont certain persons of African descent from peaceable assembly. The Constitation of the United States declares taat Congress shall not iuterfare with the right of peaceable assem- blsge, Does this amount to an affirmative law giving tho Upited States juridiction over all porsons who shail interfere ‘with tho right of peaceable assemblics ? Clearly not. The sec- ond count is the eame as the first. The third count declares that a conspiracy was formed to take the lives of cortain citizens of Afncan de- ecent, without due process of law. All murder- ers do this. Has tho United States jurisdiction over all murde:s? The fonrth count is too vague aod general. So are tho fifth and eighth. Their vagueness is sach that they cannot staad. Whao sixth:and seventh counts cuzrge the prioners with couspiring agaizeé cer:ainpersons, bacause they had voted, or nerc going to vote. Not a word, 18 said that this was done because of race, colcr, or previous coudition. This is vitally necessaty. To inter- fere with the nght of voting is no offense under the jurisdiction of the United States. T'he fol- lowing eight counts are literally copies of the first eight, and muet fall with them. Iam ac- cordingly of opinion that the indictment is fatal- Iy defeciive. Judge Vivods then, in & few words, announced that ho differed in opinion with Justice Bradley. and that they; had iresolved to certuy to a differ enco of opinion, 20 that the Supreme Court of the United States couid pass npoa the question. As, howaver, the Sunerior Judge had decided sgaiost the validity of ihe indictment, it cowd mot stand for the present, aod the prisoners were therefore entitled to tail. Bail n tho sum of 5,000 for ench prisoncr was furnished, and Cinikebank snd Irwin were set at liberty aad sunounded and congratulated by their (riends. DISCHARGED. The Man Not Found Yct. The Detroit papors of Iriday last gave ac- counts of the arrest, at Fentonville, Mica., of Eugene- Dassler, who was accused of being the surviving party of the two who had attacked and robbed the American Express car «a & Michigan Central train, on May 20, near New Buffalo. It will be remembered tbat Spencer Heath, the Company’s sgens, shot end killed one of the robbers, bat the other escaped with booty to the -amount of about $2,600, after knocking Mr. Heath senseless, xnd evidently leaving him for dead. It appears that EAM BEST, a well-known detective, and the special officer of the American Expross Company, with head- quarters at Buffalo, N. Y., was given informa- tion from this city to the efect that Basslor, = deteczive of Capt. Turtle's Chicago Insurance Bureau Against Burg] wns the missing rob- ber. Accompavied by Shenff Wixom, of Oak- Iand : County, Mich., and Sheriff Weimer, of Bfirrian County, Mr. Best went to Fentonille, where THEY FOUND BASSLER engaged in his duty as detective for Howe's Lon- don Circus, the proprietor of which bad sent for him in order to keep the thieves who followed the show from robbing the houses of patrons during their absence from home, and from pick- g pockets. On being arrested, Bassler accom- pavied the officers to N.les, where an examina- tion before a magistrate took place yesterday morning, Isaac Meserve, of this city, Was o band to look after Bassler's case, and bad been provided with papers from Capec. Turtle which would clearly TBOVE AN ALIDI in the event rf & doubtful ideutity of the pris- oner. Ono of these was a letter from Bassler to Capt. J. H. Bull, of Turtle's force, wiitten on tho 29th of Mav from Centrala, 1ii., and bear- ing the postmark of May 80. Bassler hed been visiting fricnds ju the place above named, and laft thero a fow davs after the ospress robbery to take up his duties at the circus, then travol- ing in Michigan, arriving here oo the 3d or 4ti inat.. to reccive instructions from his employer. Bat this evidence was SCABCELY NECESSARY, at the examination, ‘I'welve farmers wera called to idontuly the prisoner, and all but one of them zaid he was pot the man. This exception at Arst was unceriain a3 to the identity, but on be- ing pressed by Mr. Meserve, would not make any positive statement, and Basaler was honora- bty discharged by the Court. He returned to tho circus, and Mr. Meservo arrived here lnst evening. D:Iusfex is considered an excellsnt officor by his employers, who have kept him busily occupied for the past ten months. He was not a porter in the American Express Comnany’s ofices hero, s s.ated in tho Detroit Tribune. Jlr. Best has the repntation of being one of the best officers in the country, but it is evident that HE HAS BEEN MISLED iu this case. A mormmr contemporary hinted at a certain officer of this city 28 belng corcerned in the matter, and that person is undoubtediy Detective Joe Dixo, who probadly gave the information, based on an occurience wherein Bassler and himself were concerned, and which, it is aid by Bassler's friends, has caused Dixon to pursue him without just couee. A Tnisuxe reporter searched for Mr. Dixon yosterdsy, with a view to obtaining information of him regarding the matter and bis connection with the arrest of Bussler, but he could not be found. He will probubly rise to explain. CRIME. Exccution of a Criminal. New Yorx, June 27.—A dispatch from Salis- bury, N.

From the July Lippmcott. The morning of Nov. 1, 1735, dawned serene, but the heavens wero bazy, since midnight the thermometer had risen 1 degree, and stood at 9 o'clock at 14 above freeziug. Reanmer. As it was the feast of All Saints, the churches were thronged from an early bour, and all their altats brllincly illuminated with thousands of tapers, and aecorated with garlands of various tinted muslin aud thin sili. At a quarter of 10 o'clock the first shock was felt. It was #o0 slight that muny persons attrib- uted it to the passage of heavy wagous in the street, and ever to mere fancy. Thiee min- utes aftervard a gecond shock occurred, 0 vio~ lent that 1t seemed as 1if tho heayeus and earch were passing away. This agitation lasted fully ten minutes, and ere it diuminished tho grester portion of the city was in ruins. The dust raised obscared the sun ; an Egyotian _daknesa pre- vailed, aud to add to the universal horror, the fearful ecreams of the lving and the groans of the dving roeo throngh the air. In twenty minutes all becamo calm sgain, and peo- pl began to look around them, and consider 1ho best means of escape. Some were for going to the hills, but were soon discouraged from so doing by the ramors that thoss who bad already gone rhither were suffocating from tiio effects ol the densa fog of dust which still 10xe from tue falling buildings. Then they rushed toward the quays which line a pact of the Tagus, but only fo learu the horrible uews that these bad sunk mto the earth, with all the people aud edifices upon them. Those who thought to pnt to sen were told to look at the river, and lo! in its centre thoy be- held a whirlpool which was sucking io all the veurels aud boats in ii8 vicinity, not a fragment of any of them being ever seen agaiv. The royal palsce had been entirely Bwallowed up, aud over its_site is now the vast square of the Beco, or Blsck Hurse, ons of the largest pub- lic places in Europe. “The great libiary of tha Holy Ghost was in flames, and 1ts priceless Moorish and Hebrew mannscripts wers fast be- coming ashes. The opera-houss had fallen in, the Inqusition was no more, and the freat Church of San Domingo was a Leap of stones, benoath which lay crushed to atoms the entire congregation. The Irwsh Church of St.Paul ~as the death place of a thousand persons, and the palace of Bumposta, where Catherine of Braganza, widow of Charles II., lived and died, hed fallen over from :he heights on which it was buiit, and utterly destroed the poor but popu- Tous part of the town which lay beneath it. Ina word, where but an hour siuce was Lisbon was now nothing but desolation. As to the people, who can describe their condition? At least 70,000 persotis had perisbed, and_the majority or the survivors were cruelly wounded and in an agony of mind aud body. Some sent mad with tright, some lost forever the power of speech, sinners weat about conlzssing their secret crimes, and fanatice, believing the last day had come, cricd ous 1o the horror-stricken multitude “to repent, for that Christ was coming to judge the qu.ck and the dead.” As the day waxed on the wretched Lisboneze grew calmer, and it was universully declared thiat the satest places, now that the dust was dimwishing, were the heights overlooking the city, and thither the msjority flad. ?era they found the Court assembled, fcr the Royal family was fortunately at Belem, where, strange to say, the earthquake was scarcely felt at all, and_had hastened at once to tue hills. The Cardinal- Datrintch was hers also, and o was Pombal ; and these two men, with surprising presence of mind, by their admirable courage, were enabled befors night to inspire some feeling of order in the excited throng. The Kisg and Queen behaved mobly, and the young Duke of Lafoens deserves to_be immortshized for his zplendid couduct. He organized 2 band of no- blemen who went abour aiding the wounded, reacuinf the children, and even burying the dead. 1t was a strange and awful sight to seo tais multitude gather together on the summit of the bills which once overlooked their 1agpif- cent capital, and which now loozed down upon 2 mere masn of smouldering ruins. As day do- clived and night came on the Cardinal issued a proclamation, ordering all to Jnecl in prayer aud entreat tho mercy of God upon them, and then roge on the air the wailing tooe of that saddest of pealms, the Miscrere. When the shndes of night bad fully tallen a frightful discovery was made; the city wasin flames in & hundred places. The conflagration wasgreatlyin- creased by a strong wind blowing in from the vea. Thers was now no hope of saving apy- thing, and it was bnt too well known that thousands of human beings who bad taken refuge in the cellars and crypus wore bemg roasted alive. Butif the anxiety of the escaped was dreadful to witness, the scenes within the auy itself were evon more terrible, ~Rob- bers, escaped jau-birds, low sailors, and de- rraged negroes formed bands, and went about amidat the ruins pillaging the wounded of their tinkets, and even murdering thoso who ven- tared to oppose their ghastly deeds. The lewd inhabitants of the brotheis broke from the rigid Testraint in which thoy were confined by the lasy and joined the bandits, They plun- dered such of the wine-stores ss were loft in- tact, and, maddened with drink and probably with tetror, cast off their garmonts, and went dancing and_whooping blasphemous songs through the derolate streets, 1f such they could now be called, while tho lurid Iight from the in- numerable firea cest a blood-colored glow on their naked and contorted forms. They yot into tho churches, robbed the eacred images, threw the boly vestments over their shoulders, and made the ruined walls re-echo the shouts of their beastly revelry. *‘Iv scemed,” says Tray Bernadno de Carmo, ‘*‘as if hell had vomited forth its demous. and that the powers of dark- ness had indeed prevailed.” From the cel- lars of the honses rose. the picrcing cries of those who were pensindi of their peglocted wounds, or suffocating from the effects of foul atmosphers. Hers & mother weps over the bodies of all her chudren; there s group of timid nuns stood around their Abbess and knew not which way to turn; now a fanatic rashed aloug Lowling dismal prophecies; now s loog filo of white-clad Cisterciaus passed by _ reciting mournful prayers; and then again fell upon the ear the horrid maniacal laughter of the gaog of lewd women and brutal men at their dieadful revelry. aged noble woman in full court garments was seen searching among :hio ruins of her palace for her jewels : and a famous Phryne of the day, Therexa Brandoo, suddenly converted, did such nobla deeds of charity that her name deserves to be written in letters of gold.

From the New Fork Erening Prat. A porthumous work by the graceful and popu- lar melodist who has given to the world tne ‘“‘Bonemian Girl” and ‘‘Enchantrees™ is an event really worthy of pote. Balfe was a most prolific composer. As far back as 1829 he began prbing Ttalian operas, and was recogmized in Italy Dnfi before his name was known io En- gland. o left at his death the unfinished seore of ‘*The Talisman,” a work which has been comploted Ly Sir Michael Costs. Balfe wrote tho music to Euglish words pre- pared by Mr. Arthur Matthison, & gen- tleman well known in theatrical and liter- ary circles in this city. But Englisb opera is at & low ebb in Engiand ; and so Mr. Matthi- son’s text was translated into Italian, and, under the title of * Il Tahsmano " Balfe's ** Talisman " was produced at Drury Lane Theatre on the 11th instant. The cast wasa strong one, including Mme. Curistine Nilsson a8 Edith Planlagenet, Mlte, Mario Roze as Berenaaria, Siguor Campa- nini as Sir Aenneth, Signor Rots as Richard Caeur De Lion, Signor Catalani aa Neclabanus, Signor Campobelio as L'Emiro. and efficient represectatives of the other characters. The succers of the work appears to have been de- cided. For saversl of the melodies s popularity is predicted equal to that won by the leading aira of the ‘* Bohemian Gurl." The story of the play is taken from Sir Walter Scott’s romance, and Richard Ceeur de Lion ia the hero. ‘Lhis monarch has before this appeared ‘| and was instantly killed, the bo He will recover.

Gretry wrote a ** Richard Ceeur de Lion"; anopera bearing the same name, composed by Seyfriod, was produced at Vienna in 15.50; and one euwsitled ** Richard en Pales- tino,” by Adolpbe Adam, saw the light at the Paris opera in 184f. Gretry’s work has lately been revived in Paris witn success. _The London critics award to Mr. Matthison's libretto the meri:s of constructive skill and liter- ary grace. 'Theliorettist las made use of the most sxlient and dramatic poiats of the story, and has offered excellent subjects for musical treatment. The overturs is brief. * A short fansare, suggestive of the predominating mili- tary elemeut in the opera, 18 followea by a lar- ghetto theme for strings, the only accompsui- meat being the basses, pizzicato. This melody afterwards appears as the subject of Richare prayer for succesy sgainst the infidels, its strik- ing charzcter beiug on each occasion set off by tho eifective bass couaterpoint. The larghotio gives place to 2n allearo grandivso, waich antici- patea the chorus following the prayer just re- ferred to, and the prelude ends with a repetition of the fanfare. Balfe here makes no attempt at developiug his themes, simply taking from the body of the work the musicof an episode fairly mtn regarded as Laving a represeutative char- acter.” ‘Lhe_opening ecene is on the shores of the Dead Ses, acd the vocal musi:_opens with a chorus of Arab soldiers. Sir Kenneth and the ZEmirhave a duet. Iu the next ecene—the Cave of Engedi—Lady Edith sppears aod sings a ten- der melody and _allegro. There is s deformed slave to whom is allotted an air, “Ilove the sky when no bright stars sbine,” which is one of the bext worked-cut and moat distinctive num- bers in the operz. though its popularity,from the nature of the subject, 13 not 1ikely to be great. A chapel sceno with a religious hymn foliows —a bymn which is sure to bocome & grest favor- ite. After this the icnor has a lave song, *flow'ret, Ikiss thee,” which is an exquisi melody to accompaniment of Larp and horn. Unbounded popularity is predicted for this gem, which will 00m bo heard all orer the civilizod world. To the second nct King Richard appears and bas an aris. ‘Lhis act Is replete with nnlitary and batile music: but there is also another scotimental song for the tenor, a churus for female voices, and a lovely duet for soprano snd tenor. A finale in the usual style of the modern Italian opera closes this act. In the third ace thers 1s a * Bong to Merrie England,” & melodious chorus which, it is be- Lieved, Balfe wrote, hoping that it wouRll prove acceptabloas a national melody. A brillisnt aria for the soprano, sud a final march and chorus, are the other features of tnis acs. The character of the musicin_this showy and brilliant opera is generaliy praised in London. It is Balfe, of course; tut Balfe at his best. Tne muetcal writer 1 tie London ZTelegraph BayS: ‘The music often shows s tendency in the direction #0 gezerally taken by modern _orera, the orchestra be- iug core freely used and the requircments of musical form more largely subordinated to dramatic exigen- cies. The comiposer, on the otker hand, never wholly departs from his weli-known individuality. Balfe can alwaya be recognized with case, and he Sometimes re— produces himeelf with more closeness than is desira~ bio. After thete observations, it need hardly be said thot the music is tuneful and’ well lafd out for the Yoices, or that orchestral Tecources aro used with skill in the’ production of well-marked effects. Bat the predominact merit is one characteristic of all Balfe's operss—a strong, as it seems instinctive, perception of dramatic propricty. The riosic, in some cases, migat easily be beiter as music, but it f would be hard fo improve upon its fitmess to the attendant circumstances, In this lies the sscret of much of Bafe's success. Tus composer and the dramatist are working together with the ¢ympathy between them that makes euch doubly stroug. On 50 slight an acqusintance it would be rash 10 predict the fate of ** The Taiisman,” but we may venture an opinion that, whils not equal to the best of it composer's works, i contains more good music tian the public will Teadlly let de, There &ro num- Ders in thie opers which wiil go the round of the muai- cal world, and for their sake, a8 well s on account of 2 noble subject snd a brilliant_spectacle, we may an- ticipate s good eareer for our nationa! composer’s last production. In this place we may fittingly notice the Belp given fowards the completion of * Tae Talis- man” by Sir M. _Costa, who has superintended its bringing out, and Mr, G. A. Macfarren, upon whom devolved the comyletion of the unfinished last act. Both musiciaus have done their duty well, and, as re- gards tho Italfan i bretto, a word of ~praise is deserved by its author, Signor Zat.ra. The Pail Mal surmises that the opera was originally intcnded for the Pyne and Barri- son Company. *¢ Accordmg to this view, the pare now eung by Madame Nileson would have been aken by Miss Lomsa Pyne. Sir Kenneth would have been representsd, not as mow by Signor Camoanini, but oy the late Mr. Harrison. Miss Susan Pyne viould have appeared s the Queen Berengaria; aud M. Santley (if the man- agemonc had been Lu luck) would have muder- taken the character of Richard Caur de Lion, assigned at Her Ifajesty's Opera to Sigmor Rota.” ‘The same jo:rual adds, by way of criti- cism: . The conventional orers which Wagner—greater, perhaps, as a critic and natiriat then a8 2 creative mu- ticlan—proposes to drivis out of fashion by force of ridicule, demands that esica of the lesding personages shall hava & scena in set form; and at_the beginmng of the secord act oczurs Richard's opportunity. In the ola days of the Pyne and Harrison Company, the second movement of Richurd's air—of s hignly mar- tial character—would have been encored at least twice ; and the audience lsst night would gladly have heard Signor Rota sing it a second time. erengaria's pretty air, in the samo act, was repeated ; and the rule againet eacores having thus been broken through, adame Nilston was callcd upon to repeat almus everything she sang ; espec lally her portion of a s timental duet with Sir Kenr.cth, and a_very lively air, in galop time, which seomed to express great animal spirits rather than contentment of the soul. But it will be enough for the prezes.t o Tocord the fact that the work was in all respects—-and most deservedly— successful. The first performance of ** Il Talismano™ was brilliautly attended, the Diake snd Duchess of Edinburg being among the audience. Thescen- ey, produced by the celebrsted Beverley, was a superb succession of splondid pictures. Cos- tumes, proceseions, and stag ® appointments were all admirable. ' - Nilsson made s decided success as Edith Plan- tagenet, both as regards actin and gingivg. The greatest triumph waa in the bravura ana ** Nadi- ant Splendors.” Allle. Mania Roze as the Queen made & hit in the_simple ballad about ‘ivy. Campanini's Sir Kennelh was fair, out does not sppear to have elicited the applause usually awarded to his personations. J\ll the other parta were well represented, and the' chorus an chestra did creditably for a first might. 5 This opera possesses many po int of attraction which would render it & desirable card for any operatic management in this conntry. As acon- trast to Wagner, we shouid think Balfe's post- humous work to be weil worthy .the attention of Mr. Strakosch, cspecially in the i:ase of the re- tarn to this city of Nileson and C ampanini. We understand that the work in its original Enelist form will be the leading feature of Miss Kellogg's noxt season of English opera. R g LATE LOCAL ITEMS. Gen. Daird, U. S.
