IN THE CHAMDAD OP, DEFUTIES, ) vansaiLLgs, Nov. 12.—In thé Chamber of DPeputles to-day, M. Orovy, returning thanksfor his elccon as perinanent President of the Chamber, esid he would strive to show himselt equal to tho oceaslon in the same manner as the onamber by its moderation and firmnaas wonld ;now bow to act up to its responsibility, gutded »y the admirsble wisdom and will of the ountry. Urgency was then voted for a motlon to modify the standing orders so as to better en- ‘Lle the President to repress disturdbances dur- .o the debate. TR RLECTIONS. Albert Grevy moved the appolntment of & wpmmittee to inquirs into the clection abuses. 4o dectared that tho country expected the con- dempation of tho eystem of ofllcial candldature, sad ho asked that urgency be voted for his mo- ""ylr"ho Dukede Brogiie, in the name of the Gov- ernment, supported the demand for urgency. He #ald he wished light to be thrown on the ac. catatlon agsinst the Uovernment. The Ministry woutd meet the inquiry with ‘more readinces than dld the mnembers of the Government of the 4th of September on a former occasion, although rhaps {t might ask for more impartial Judges finn the Commlttce of inquiry. It was & strange theory which required that two of the established powers ought immediutely to bow to the will of tho third. URGENCY @AS VOTED, »d the Burcau immediately appolnted acom- mittce to cxamine the motlon, with Albert Grovy as reporter, On the resumption of the sitting, the Com- mitteo presented a report explulnlnz that the rsons almed at by the motion as responsible P:r the clectoral abises arc these agents who sro recognized ns responsible hy tho constitu- tionand not the Presldent of the Republie, whom tho law renders frresponsible, Gambettg, replying to a qucation by n mem- per of bis bureau, gave a similar expianation of the object of the motlon. Theso declarations are consldered to represent the unanimous opin- fonot the Left. The sitting was adjourned without further in- dent. BIGNTPICANT. The Monlleur publishes the following: 1t Is sald _that President MacMahon has declared that hehad only to give o eign and the Bonapart- ists would fmmedintely furnish him with the elements necessary for forming a vigorous Min- istry, hut he did riot. intend to govern by that meane. He would not becomo the accomplice of underhand intrigues. He meant to sclect & Minlstry from the constitutional groups, If thls conclliatory measure failed, ho would re- sigo. President MacMahou has not yet opened the negotlation for the formation of a Cabinet. but has already selected tie men whom lie con- siders capable of fulflling his programme.” LATE ITESMS, +Pants, Nov. 18~G a. m.—There Is much wnzicty In consequence of the violent terma in which 1be motfou for fnquiry into the clectlons tensures the Cablnet., Al the great Powers have advised Prosident -ffacMahon to be coucillatory, It 13 emphatically denied that President Mac- Mahon, in reply fo the delegation trom tha ups of the mfim which walted uoon him on mnluh!o the 8th inat., said, us was renorted ot the timé, ho was right to rely upon the sup- port of the Scnato for o conservativu dmnq. which was the only one he was able to follow. TOE VATICAN. * PATIIER CURCI'S DISGRACE. Dispateh to Landon Times, Rous, Oct. 23.—On the subject of Father Curci's disgrace the following s what I have been able to gather from the very best sources, This dlstingufshed writer and orotor fs in trouble, not on account of his homilies on the tiospels, but for a letter or pamphlct by him ad- dressed to the Pope, and publlshed some timo g0 In the Univers, ln which ho set forth his doctrine to this efact: o advised the Pope to trow the temporal power overboard as a cargo heavy enough to bo sure to sluk 8t Peter'abark inthoend. Mo récommended the accoptance of accomplishod facts, and the expediency of placing tho Christlan Republic un- der tho protection simply of Chriat. ‘This lctter, nf which, to reader It more road- able to the Pope, Curci printed, as ho says, only moeogleu. met with the I'ope’s approba- tion, and Monsignor Mercurelll wrote tu Curel in tho Pdpe’s naina that his Holincss was pleas- ¢d to express his satistacticn. Upun this Curel ublished first one and then another pamphlet n tho same sense, and the howmilles which Lo continues to publish aro also consistcut with the same vicws. Bomo Indiscrect person stole {from the Pope's writing-tablo the famous let- ter, and=p.; Veutllott printed 1t in the Unlvers. ‘Thereupon oroso sn outery sgainst the error and scandal of this pabtication, nvolving & con- test between Curc and the General of the Jes- uits, Father Beck. The obnoxions letter was ‘brought for judxmam. bofore the Congregatiou of the “Index.” Curcl, greatly excited, has been golng about in the North ol Italy holding conferences and making acquaintances among the Liberal Lombard clergy, so that it is natural to expict that hio may turn out & sccond en- pals, or at least u escond dontalembert.

The Bultan recelved his gueats with the utinost courtesy, rising and advancing to shake hands with them, and ~ Immediately requeating them to be seated. A lonw conversation then followed, In which the Sultan himsclf tovka prominent part, Bald Pasha, tha Marshal of thie I'alace, who apeaks Emzilsh pcrlccuf. acting as interpreter. The Bultan expressed hlinsclf extremely desir- ous of carrying out the reforins and ltnproyve- ments he had indicated fn his recent decree. He regretted be had prejudices of long standing to deal with, and it was fmpossible without danger to proceed otherwise than gradually; but ho was fully resolved to form a hasis for further reforms,” Ilo was lpcchll{ anxious for such measures as would Insure the equality of all his subjects. The Parliament would, of course, re- quire tine to_develop itself aud to show real practical results; but, nevertheless, he felt quita suro that freedom of discussion permitted to the members and the publication of thelr epceches and of the mcasures they passed would gradually accustom the people’to take s more active Interest than now In the affairs of the Emplre.

Elsewliere I am glving as correctly as I can, but only' the substance ol his re- marks. He begged his guests to give tho most faithinl and ilteral account at hote of all they bad seen In Turkey, declaring that he wished the trath, and nothing but the truth, known In England, ns there had been, o far, a great deal of infsrepresentation, I3c seemod atruck by tho fact that two mewnbers of Parllament, belonring to opnoeite sldes of the Tlouse, should be thus tmrc‘lng on cardial terms and collecting 1n- formation togzother, the Sultan haying, scem- ingly, acquired a notlon of the exiraonlinary bitterness which the Eastern question has cre- ated between the two political portles in En- eland.

A Pitifal Ai;ragedy at the Berkeley Hotel in New York, A Young Man of Wealth Suddenly Ac-~ quires a Drunkard’s Habits, His Wife, Unnsed to tho Attendant Hor- rors, Poisons Herself, The Young Lady Married fn Unusual Splendor Last April Fvetal Dispateh ts The Chicaan Tribune, New Yorg, Nov, 12.—In addition to the Van- derbilt scanda’y o sentation s created by the suicide under peculiarly sad circumstances of a young married lady moving In the firat clircles. Mrs. Evelyn Stuart was found dyinz this morning In her room at the Berkeley House on Fifth avenue, one of the arfstocratic private hotels. The dis- covery was made by her busband. A physician was called, but his efforts falled to rouse her from the comatose state Into which she had lapsed. At the side of her bed, upou & small table, was lound a four-ounce vial half filled with Jaudanum. Three letters, one dirccted to her foster-mother and two to former schoolmates, were found on the desk. Tll;] declared that the writer was miserable, an WOTLD RATAER DIX THAN LIVE. These, and the dlagnosis of the Doctor, con- firmed the theory that the young woman had deliberately ended her life with polson. An investigation developed the fact that the suf- cido wes duc to an unfortunats depravity on the part of her young hushand, Robert Stuart, This gentleman, it sppesrs, although amiable and intelligent, I8 umable to cou- trol his mppetite for llguor. This tendency, It Is said, he derived from bis' father, Licutenant-Commander Robert Etuart, an estecmcd ofticer of the United States navy, who dled several years ago In Detroits Alichy, ouly ending o lung- debauch in death. Mrs. Stuart, the widow of the Licutenant, Is now the wife of ex-Congressman Elfjah Ward, of thia city, and is traveling in Europe at the present time. THE LADY WHO JTAS ENDED HER LIFE in such a pitiful way was, In her maldenhood, koowno ns Miss Evelrn Marks. Her period of marrfed life lasted only about six months. 8he was married. to Btuart in April last, in 8t. Thomas' Church, on Filth avenue, The Rev, Dr. Morgau was the officlat- e clergyman, and there was o brillinnt party present. At the conclusion of the veremony he younz couple held a reception In the “private parlors of the Flfth Avenug Hotel, On their return to New York from their honeymoon trin Gen. Ward Yrorurcd them apartments In the Berkeley fouse, where they have lived since. For three munths the young rnnplc appeared to bave nothing to troublo them. Mrs, Stnart was by nature shy and retiring, and had A MAIIKED TENDENCY TOWARD RELIGION, Her husband was regardedin the bhotet during that perlod as a wanly yuung fellow who, having at the start o ‘good “opportunity, was certaln to make & mark I the financial — world, 1lo was Assistant- Cashier fn the Gallatin Natlonat Bank, the President of which was hia guardian. “About the latter part of August he began to develop a taste for driuk, when night after night he went home intoxieated, 1laving once fallen Iuto the Labit of getting drunk, he secmed unable to re- strain himself. For the past four weeks his In- telleet has been sodden and {nactive.

The Coroner could scarcely Kot any statement from Btuart, who was ON THE VENGE OF DELINIUM TREMENS.

Rive-King, 80 loug talked of, is now a thingof the past, aud takes its place In musical record as ons of the most remarkablo events in the history of our local stage, while there aro many features that eotitlo it to bo rauked as one of the most mem- arable concerts ever given In the country. It woulill have been possibls for the mansgement to have increased the number of artlsts at the expensc of making it a festival instead of a con- cert, but the quality coutd not have been sur- passed. The prograrume, which was compiled after Infinite labor, demanded forits perform- anco first-class talent, and that taleut was forth- coming, What an array! That modest, unpre- tentious, and yet unrivaled little sopreno, Miss Thursby, who stands to-day as the best representative 1o all reapects of the lyric stage of America; that alimost phenomenal-voiced contralto, Miss Drasdil; Mr, Whitney, the smoothest and best cuitured basso [n the coun- try; Mra, Kempton, an artist who bas gathered many laurels in opers and vratorlo; Mme. Rive- King, the most powerful and brilifant of Amer- {can piantsts; a delegation from the thorough- Jy<irilled Apollo Club led by thelr conductor, Mr, Tomlins; the Madrizal Ciub, who bave reaclied a bigh degree of perfection in the per- 1ormance of old English wmusic; aud Mr, Car} Wolfsohn, the well-known planist and conduct- or. Tho array of artists was recelved by an an- dlenve worthy of the occaslon, Every avallable foot of space in the hall\ was filled, the number present probably belng over 2,500, and if there had been moro room (bere would bave been more people, 50 great has been the demsnd for scats, The programme ducs not call fur special potice. With the cxception of the $ Rthapsody,’ played by Mry, Kingaud Mr. Woll- sohn, there was nothing specially new, but tha numbers were those in welch the artists have hitherto inade great successes, and were all of pleasing character and judiclously chosea for & great popular concert, ud thid really was. The coucert, as a whole, fortundtely calls for very Httlo critictsm, The more praulylng duty remalus to record successes aud the enthuatastic receptions aceurded to the artists by a very fme part sudience. Miss Thursby, of course, wag a spedsl favorite, and o her mcoption theru secuied to bo 3 recognt- tiou of her as = Durc? American artlst. 1t 1s oue of the most gratifving teatures of her success that she has wmiude It by staylug st bomaz. Bhe has had no European reputation to hold her up, no sdvalice sgeuts to bluw her trumpets, no emotivn letter-writers o bherald her comiug with appeals Lo popular curlosity aud goss{p. She has woa her Fl“ legitimatcely, and boldas it without vstentation. To caumerate ihe qualities which cowbine to wake Miss ‘Ihursby’s siuglog so remarkabiy attractive sevpus almost superfiuous, aud still she is not yet s0 thoroughly acquainted with Westeru audicnces but that it may be done. Besides the retnarkable purity of Lier voive, ber tectinigue, which, thougt nut as facil or surprising as that of somo other artits, 15 otul cacelleut, her compass and truthfulness of tone, there remain one or two other qualities which distinguish’ her from many other prominent singers, and play an important part in com- mendIng her to the hearer, The first of thesa 18 an fonerent refinement which dizplays itself In her presence and manner on the stage, In her quality of tone, an In her imanner of vocallza- tlon. “There Is an utter absence of the sersae tional, the meretricions, or the affected, as well o8 of Inordinate striving for effcots. Second, out of this very ?xuluf grows the feeling of rerrcd repose’ which lies at the very basis of rue art. Third, there is a sympathetic qualit to her volce which makes a stronz individual appes! to the hearer, and tells moro’ strongly upon the popular heart even than the most per. fcet methoda of the schools, She was receired with the hedrifest applause, and eang for her numbers the Barcarole from * The 8tar of the North,”” Eckert's fsmiliar “Swiss Song," in both of which ber trills and clear staccatos wers spocially lmv.!cclhh:i and the Bach-Gou- ol StAve Maria,”' with Mr. Lewls' vlulin oblirato and an undertone voeal accompank- mcnlg‘?' the Apollo Cluh, ‘The firat two were encored, and fn answer she sang two ballsla, #TLove My Love! and a Bird Song, do- Uclously, Mts3” Drasdil sang the famllfar ¢ Che faro 8cnza Eurydice ' from Gluck’s “ Orpheus,” which Miss Cary has sung here 8o often, aud the brindisi from “ Lucrezla Borgfa.”! Her first eflort did not seem to thoroughly rouse the sudience, but in the Drinking Song her superh tonesand the intensity of her method falrly roured them with a storm of applause and a nost peraistent demana for an encore, tu which she replied with a Bobemlan folk-song, sung to lier own sccompaniment and with nfnite ten- dernces. Itlsacharm to listen ton real alto who has not a suspicion of mezzo-soprano In her volce, and who can develop a tone of such magnificent 'cello-ltke quality. At thislate day, in Mr. Whitney's many visits here, it would be siperfiunus to enter into an lml’aun{ his aing- ing, Hia numbers were Ilandel's majestic aria * Honor aud Arms,” and Haily's baliad, **The Sailor's Dream.” "[lis superh singing of the former bronent him an_enthusiastle en-ore, for which e seniz S:humann’s “ Two Grenadiers,'! very dramatically,. We question, however, whether he woutd not have lmproved & b taking the Marseillalsc iu tho fiuale fna ‘R‘lc - er and more spirited tempn. Mme. Rive-King, the beneticlary of the oecaston, received an en- thusiastic and lon-coftinued welcome, Her numbers were the Nocturie In G minor, the Berceure, aml the Vals fn A fiat ol Chouin, and the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsoay, Mr. Wolfsohn takiog the orchestrial part on the sceond niano, We haye mavy tiuics recorded our estimate of Mme. King's playing, and we sce no reason to chatige it or to refuse to accord her the tirst placo among American pisnists. In such numbers na the Liszt Rhap- staly, requiring Immense power, brilliancy, and dash of cxceution, she stands almost without arival. Her playing last evenlng was not only incomparable 1o "this respect, but it developed even more of feeling, tenderness, and poetic sentiment thun we have eser observed before, Even with Eselpofl still inour remembrance, the best Jliving futerpreter of Chopin we atlll aflirin she can play Chopiu and play his wmusic with admirable sentiment and delicacy of feeling. As au cucore she gave the Perpetuuiu Mobile, from one of Weber's sonatas, o a very brilllant manner. IHerre- ceptiun was an ovntion, and her playving wus a genuine trimmnph. Mrs. Jenny Ketpton, sl llmufih o new-comer here, has lonz been asso- clated with the lIyric stage. It was & tryiug position to make s debut after another con- tralto, and that contralto Miss Drasdll, but she wans warmly recelved, and sang ber number, the arfa ** Fiu possenti” fromn Rossi's ** Amelfa," ‘which has never been given here hefore, lua mouner that stamps lier a8 au excellent, palns- taking artist, with an admiruble method. = Her voice in eomne parts of bir registers s slizht] wurn, but hor style Is broad and dimnl- fied. * Bhe reccived a hearty cncore, to which ste I‘cfhcd with Miss Hodge's rather lugubrious * Kosebush,"” which §s pathetically monotonous. The Apollo Club and Madrigal Club s:dded much to the cclat of tho voncert with their fing siugine, and the lntter obtalned an eacore. Mr, Wallsohu is also to receivo credit for the carcful and skiilful manrer in which bo gave the sccompaniment to the Khap- rody, and Mr. Balrd for his accompaniments to the'voices. In all respects, from the dainty and elezant fan programimes upto the cfforts of the urtlsts, the concert was a great success sud a graceful tributo to Mite.

That pleco of characterization alono was Am[vly sutliient to bulld up a great reputation, aud the person fortunate enough to witness it cnjoyed u pleasure the mewmory of which can never fude, he attendance last pight, cousidering the great counter-attraction of the Hive-King con- cert, was large, and the sudience—largely cotn- posed of our Uerman citlzens—was™ quite demonstrative iu its approbatiun., Mme. Pap- nhetm, as Vaentine, achleved & succeas of the rat tnagnitude,—her full, riuging voice. and powerful action, giving ber & well-deserved blace by tho skl of the best previous delineators of the tedmaiden, Mr, Adams’ Ltavui was & fine pl of artistie work. His yoice, of cutirse, is not as fresh ns it was In the Fabbri-Mulder days; but thiou bas dealt gently ‘with it, and, with the cxception of n tendency todrop into tho falsetto, his execution s worthy ot bigh commendation. About all of wur Llaouis heretofure have been of comparatively suall colibre: and it is refreshing to hear the part cxecum‘ by an artist of unquestionsvle capability, The Marcel was Mr. Wiegand. Ilis volcs is niot equal to thatof Forme's {n his palin: days, nor his action to that of Drayton; bul he conducted himselfl creditably,—giving the Sy Pafll? with vigor, and infusing dJirnis fied warmth luto his promivent scenes, The Queen, tu tha hands of Miss lluman, received much betier treatment than she ususlly gets,— the lady baving an agrceable voice, of conslders able compass and flexibllity, Slss Grimminzee did well us the Page.
