The following comes from a very intelligent gentleman, who is not only intelligent and able, but also musical, and capable of proper ly appreciating what he writes of : It will not be long before the American people, who love to patronize and henor the opera, and its most celebrated and renowned artists, may have an opportunity of listening to the sweet aud melodious voice of the great American cantatrice, Miss Juliana May, who was born and reared in Washington city. A few years since, Miss May, who had a lauda- ble passion for music, and whose voice, by her friends, was deomed to be acharming one, went to Italy to perfect herself in her popu- lar art, where she remained some two or three years under the tuition and instruction of the most celebrated and accomplished masters of the profession, in that country of music, of wer of painting, and of seulpture iss May made her debvi in opera, at Ve- rona, last year, and was eminently successful But almost instantaneously there sprung up. as if by magic, a species of jealousy and op- position to her, on the part of those who man- aged and sang at the opera, which proclaimed in unmistakable terms that an Amerrcan can- tatrice, no matter how excellent her charac- ter, her voice, and her execution, should net be successful, should not triumph in the Uld World. This jealousy and opposition was partially successful. Miss May afterwards appeared a= prima donna in an opera at Milan, but the opposition to her success appeared there also in its full force on the part of those who man aged and controlled the operas. Neither there, nor anywhere else in Italy, nor even ir. Paris, would the dilettanti of Italy and France allow or permit an American canta- trice to earn and establish a triumph in the art of music. Miss May’s refined American education, manners, and purity of character, did net make her congenial to the peculiar notions and id@s of those setters of fashion | in Europe who manage the operas cover the water. Even though the Americans had bowed with homage and admiration to the accomplishments in the art of music of those distinguished foreign artists, Jenny Lind. Al- | boni, Sontag, Parodi, Grisi, Madam Bishop. Louisa Pyne, &c., yet when a brilliant and an accomplished American prima donna appeared or, through her friends, attempted to appear in opera in Karope, jealousy and opposition must needs rise against herand decree her de- feat If this is to be the rule of reciprocity. the American public will be very apt to retal- iate with interest. Even the virtuous and | wonderful Jenny Lind could not be permitted to be heard at the opera in Paris Last year whilst Miss May, with her mother, Wassojourning in Paris, agreat effort was made i by many of the two or three thousand Ameri- cans who were in Paris at the time, to get the managers and controllers of the opera there to allow Miss May to appear as prima donna at one of those establishments, but all to no pur pose Near three thousand Americans were ready and anxious to give her a reception worthy of her great talents and virtues; but they were denied the privilege The Ameri- can captatrice was too accomplished and too accomplished and too virtuous to conform to the notions and ideas of those who bore most sway inthe management of operas of Paris. | So last year Miss May did not appezr befure 4 Parisian audience. But, ag it appears, a change has been wrought on this subject of jate, in that great emporium of fashion From the last arrived steamer, the news comes to us that just as Miss May was preparing to leave for this country, to obey a call to appear in opera in the leading c' of her own coun- try, a pressing request bas been made to her , tu remain for a while, and appear as prima donna in the Italian Opera at Paris, oa that | she has accepted the offer. That her success | will be brilliant in the highest degree, there cannot be a particle of Coubt in the minds of those who have the fortune to be acquainted { with the fair lady.— New York Express Gossip aBouT QUEEN Vierorta —Military movements are taking place “ by command of the Queen.’’ What does this mean? is the query in every mouth, with such additional laquiries as are suggested by lively imagins- tions. Has the Duke fallen under petticoat | sovernwept, and sold himself for an empty title? Is Prince Albert still hatter-in ordi- nary to the British army?’ In fact, is the Duke of Cambridge really Commander-in- Chief, or is he only a puppet set up by the Court’ It is strongly :w pected that the jat- ter is the case, spite of ull that has been suid to the contrary. Zhe Queen not only attends the camp, but she aysumes military costume, and, in addition to the sash and cockade of a general oflicer, wears the badge of a Field | Marshal.

In the month of July last, the White | Sea was blocked up with huge mountaivs of | ice, gud the commerce of Archangel stopped, something which never happened before. In the Faroe Islands snow fellin the valleys in the middle of July, the like of which also never happened before.

The Boston “‘Anglo-Saxon’’ tells this good A young physician having tried in vain to get into practice, at last fell — the follow- ing expedient to set the ball rolling. He sprang upon his horse once a day, and drove at fall speed through the village. Afteren absence of an hour, he would return, and car- ty with him some of his instruments—tbi: if he could impress his neighbors that be practice, they would begin to place confidence in his gm A wag, who more nd pected the deceit which be was determined to know the truth. He neverding. ly kept his horse in readiness, and the next time the doctor galloped by his door, sprang on his steed and placed himself on the young ache rangle trail The doctor saw the man following at bis heels, but did not at first ince any uneasiness At length, however, he thought it advisable to turn down a nar- row lane. The pursuer followed on like an evil genius; but the doctor was not discour- 4 another road lay a short distance ahead of him, down whieh he turned. The other kept close at his heels, and the doctor grew impatient to return home. There was no bonse by the way at which be could afford any pretext for stopping In the meantime his saddle bags were with him, and be sas otherwise ap ea for business, so he could not return in the face of his neighbor without exposing the secrets of the trade in the most palpable manner Avery bound of bis steed carried him fur- ther from his home, and the shades of t began to fall on hill and tower. Still the sound of horses’ hoofs was thundering in his car, and he was driven to his wit’s end; it just as he turned the angle of a wood, he beard alow moan. A man lay te near the fence of a meadow, and blood gushed from a fearful wound in his arm. He had cut an artery with his scythe. and was in d r of immediate dissolution. The young doctor sprang from his horse and staunched bis wounds. Bandages were applied, and his life was saved The pursuer had only thrown himself from his borse, and as the physician tied up the last bandage, he looked up in his face and said—*‘ How lucky, neighbor, that I was able to arrive In time ?’’ The wondering spectator was struck with awe, and after assisting the wounded man home, he told such a mirsculous tale to the wondering villagers. 28 secured to the young physician a reputation not only for skill, but alzo fur supernatural prescience. Thus did the merest accident contribute more to his ad- vancement than years of studions toil could have done, and the impertinent curiosity of a waggish neighbor opened for him a path to business which the most influential patronage matt never have been able to provide for im. A Pictcre Fravup 1x Parts —A Datch tra- der, of Amsterdam, arrived in Paris some- time ago with a valuable painting on wood, by Perugino, which had long been in posses- sion of his family, and in his own, but which was sadlyin need of being cleaned and res- tored. A picture cleaner, named L—, hay- ing been strongly recommended to him, was employed to do what was necessary, and after keeping the picture, on diferent pretexts, rather along time, the man took it to the owner afew days ago. The latter immedi- ately carried it to a packing case maker, and told nim to pack it up with great care in order that it might be sent into Hollend’ A picture valuer who happened to bein the shop, hearing that the painting war a ru- 0, requested to be allowed t) examine it et taoment he cast bis eyes on it, he eid that it was not an Criginal, but a * It has always been tigerted asap original said the Datcb gentleman, “ by a numerous artists and connoisseurs who have examined it; but it has just been restored.” ‘The restorer, then,”’ said the other, “ has given you a copy instead of the original.”’ ** Not so, for I recognize the wood at the baek the effect produced by age—the knots: | know them by heart, and all are there.’’ The other thereupon, after examining the painting with great care, said that the part of the wood ——_ the painting had been skilfully sawn off, and that the copy had been made on the wood that remained. “The copy,” added aluer, “ haz been given to you, and the original will no doubt be transferred to canvas by the ordinary prosess."’ The Dutch gen- tleman was astounded, and at once laid a complaint before the police. The picture cleaner being sent for, could not deny the raad. and said that be had sold the original an Englisoman. He was arrested.—Drore. w MISERIES oF A Lecturer. —Rev.
