Special Qorrespondente of The Tridune. Paris, Feb, 10.—Among many other dls- iinguished persons ‘present st the last concert of the Conservatolre, I for the first time had the pleasure of seeing Mlle. Grevy, tho young fady to whom {t scems )ikely that the arduous duty of representing female France tu the drawlig- rooms of the Elysce is to fall. Mme. Grovy s rather clderly for the task; and, morcover, sho has lived eo littlo in the world of Courts and Min{sters that she might bo pardoned for fecl- fug & littlo awkward in her new character—ind new dresscs. Tho beauty of Mile, (irevy las beon slightly exaggerated, She is plalo,—de- cldedly plain, It regularity of features and per- fection of form constitute beauty, Her face 18 thin, long, nud dark, ke her hale and—go far as I could judze—her oyes. Her attire lnst Sun- day was eimple {n the extreme, and not al- togother Irreproachable: & bat with feathers, a black jacket trimmed with a full ruftic of lace on ono side, dress dark and sober as the jacket, and no jewelry. 1t scemed strange to sco the scat usually occupled by the Mareghale de Mae- Mahon in the possessfon of this youthful and unfamiliar Jady,~stranze, a¢ lcast, to the regu- Jar habitues of the Canservatoire,~steady-going, conservative folk, most of them, with an exces- sive admiration for the traditlons of thelr fathers, in music especlally, and a declded distiko to new comera and new things generally, Bince I have got to this theme, 1 may as well glve you some Information us to THE CONSERVATOINE AND 1TSICONCERTS. They are both intereating subjects, though not equally so. The concerts are probably the most perfect in the world, not excepting cven those ot Lelpzig, Vicona, or London, each of which have clatmed o sinilar honor, ‘The Conserva- tolre, howvaver, cannot justly be ranked so high, It is a useful institution, and dovs a good deal for the musical and dramatic orts in France; but there are schools in Italy, Germany, and Belgtum euperfor and more fsmous, In add{- tion to numerous classand lecture rooms de- voted to the teachlng of varlous brauches of the slstor arts, the Conservatolro boasts n small, well-composed musical library, alfino museum of musical {nstruments (too scldom visited), and a tiny theatre or concert-room (for it serves both purposcs), of which 1 shall speak more particu- larly. The libeary is at present n the chirge of that erudite and sinzular composer, M, Weker- n,~a bibliophiteof the old sort, nnd the author of many charming works, llterary as well as musleal, Most of the manuseripts stored away on the shelves of the lbrary are Prix-de-Rome compositions, [ wasfirst introduced to the seeluded attractions of the Conseryatoire library by M. Chougquet, the benevolent and lenrned custodian of the museum, who has nannged, witn the niggardly pecunlary asaistance of the 8tate, to accumulate in onc swmall gallery the MOST COMPLETE COLLECTION OF MUSICAL IN- BTHUMENTS . with which I am acquainted. Amongst them gre the pianos on which Auber, Herold, and Meverbeer composed so many immortal works, Auber's 8 fitted up with au inkstand let Into the wooden frams boside the keybonrd, und the fvory keys still bear inky traces of the master’s {ospirations. Further on {8 a puitnr, once the property of Paganinl, by whom it was présented to Hector Berlioz. The sutographs of both are inseribed upon the fuce of the instrument. Paganini’s signature s _half effaceds that of Berifoz i clear, neat, and legible ss his nota tlon, A.barpsichord closo by ls eredited with having accompanied Besthioven on his trasels, but. M. Chiouguet does not vouch for the truth ol the story, Under o glnss case in the centro of the pallery are several exnuisite violins of Stradlvarius and ather famous mnkers, One of the elaborately painted and gitded horps stand- ing near a gizantic octochord st the end of the room, bad been alten touched by the Royal flogers of poor Marlo Antolnctte before” it passed Into the hands of M. Chouquet. The octochiord ftaclf merits inapection, a3 do the rare old harpsichords, epincts, ser- ponts, and other obsolete tnstruments with which the muscum {8 crowded,—nan orderly crowding, mind you, for the custodian of alf thesa treasures watches over them with almost -paternal fondness, Wo betide the profuna visitor who dares to disareance asinglo clarinet, or to scrateh a particle of paint oft the juvalva- ble Rocekels! The heaa and Director of tho Conservatolre {3 at prescnt M. Ambroise Thomas, who succeeded 10 the post on the death of Auber. Auber in his turn had replaced Cherubinl,—tlut rigld format old Italian, who hated, und was 8o well hated by, Berlloz. But M. Ambrolse Thomus hias no authority vver the CBLEDRATED BOCIETE DRS CONCERTS, whose magnificent watinces have filled the theatres on Bundays for fifty-two sensons.
