A olerk fm the Adjutant General's office, named Lee, has this day been removed for leaking the secret out. ‘The Republic and Intelligencer of this morning make no mention of the order reported to have been meued by the President for the concentration of twelve eom- | panies of artillery and infantry, at Boston, to assist the Marshal in enforcing the Slave lav. . The Board of Naval OMicers, now sitting here, have determined the question of assimilated rank, and are now engeged in determining upon « substitute for flogging in the navy. They have appealed to the Pre- sideat to arrest the evils arising from the abolition of flogging, as drunkenness has increased, and the lives of officers are jeopardized. ‘The cabinet have decided that the appointing power im the General Land Office belongs to the Secretary of the Interior, and not to the Commissioner. ‘The Mexican Boundary party have trausmitted $600 tothe widow of their Iate associate, Tennant, who was killed by a Texan teamster. ‘The contracts to furnish the United States Senate: with stationery, has been awarded to William A.

In an engagement | in the mountain defile of Bonica, the black troops | of the black Emperor are reported to have been cut to pieces with a terrible slaughter. We are | also informed that a Hayten brig had been captured off Scott’s Harbor by a couple of gun boats of the Dominicans. From all accounts, the Dominicans will be competent to defend their territory. It is | understood they are on good terms with the French and English agents, that they are well armed, equipped, and disciplined, and it is not improbable | they may “ carry the war into Africa” before it is | over. Of course, pending these hostilities the | trade of the island will be, of necessity, suspended. In connection with the affairs of Hayti, we pub- | lish the letter, to-day, of Mr. Benjamin E. Green, | late United States Agent in that island, which will throw eome light on the diplomacy in that corner of the Gulf.

She appeared last night, at the Astor Place Opera Houre, in the perfect persona- tios of Parodi. By seven o'clock s splendid cortége of beauty and tashion, garmented in toilets of bewitch- ing briilfaney, poured in » splendid flood upon the scene. The entire musical temple wae thronged in every part, each one breathless to hear, end watchful to behold. Maretzek was warmly received on his en- trance into the orchestra. The overture was brilliantly exeouted. The opening chorus was equal to’ the occa- ston, the silver-voloed Lorini admirable, and then the ttar of Italy—the peerless Parodi—entered. The plaudits were those of welcome and encouragement— warm-hearted, sincere and protracted. The inimitable recitativo of the cavatina at once seized on the audience. ‘The sustained note, the clearness of enunciation, the dramatic expression,ali told at once upon those present, In spite of the nervousness that pervaded the as- sembly, the orchestra, the vocalists, and the maegnifi- cent prime donna herself, the opening was triumphant. It took evem those who had heard Parodi at rehearsal, by surprise. °C Diva’’ was sung according te the original score. There was no transposition. Bellini’s ideal was given, without absurd ornament, without meretricious display, in its owm simple elegance of ‘nesters, and with an incomparable expression, such as no one except a consummate artiste could ac- From that triumph, Parodi’s success was nd nobly did she proceed from that peint to the close, almost paralyzing the orchestra at times, and producing ameng them, many am uaorehearsed tremulo. In the second act her dramatic capabilities and her vocalization strove for her supremacy; but they kept pace with each other, till the audience became tho- roughly entranced by the originality, evenness, and force of her voice, method, and execution. Her acte ing added to the effect, and commanded almost the silence of those present. Thas she proceeded, giving a variety of expression to her features, and purity and freshness to the tones of; her unsurpassed voice, such as never before have been known in this coun- try. Weehall not dwell upom causes. We must content ourselves, at present, with results. What, then, were these? Why, the most perfect conviction on the part of every judge of high art, that Paredi is the greatest tragic vocalist of the dey—and that her equal has never been known in this country. When she rose to the top of her compass, she executed her thrills without any ambitious attempts at ornament, end appealed to the most refined taste only in the vocal art. She resorted to no tricks. The consequence was, that she evoked the sublime, and impressed upon every one the unity ofthe compbser’s design, as well asthe superiority of her own skill. Her triumphs were shared in by Amalia Patti, Novelli, aud Lerini, each of whom merited the applause bestowed, and more commendation than we have time to administer. There can be no doubt that Parodi is a great artiste. She was perfectly conversant with the entire score, and was imbued with the whole spirit of the /ibretto—a rare merit. Her sole purpose was with the creation of the composer. This she understood—this she revealed; and when, in the last scene, she sang “ In mia mano” and “ Qual cor tradisti,”’ the whole assemblage bowed in willing admiration te her wonderful talents. At snother time, we shall take occasion to say what her voice is—what her style consists in—how far her phy- tical constitution and temperament operate on her vocalization and on her facial muscles, causing those extractéinary effects which only a few persons ever produced, These are very interesting subjects to those who are studious in musical matters, and are little understvod even by musicians - but we are well aware of the influence of exeitement upon such a tem- perament as Parodi’s, and how extraordinary mast be her triumphs under certain circumstances, The pro bability is that, when she is familiar with her orches- tra and associates, she will creates still more won- dertul sensstion—though it scarcely seems possible, The reception and applause, last evening, were of the most enthusiastic kind. At tho termination of the covatina, ebe was called out, and, et the s: ouent two snow-white doves were loosed from the amphi- theatre, amid a shower of verses.

Bignorina Parodi was born im Genoa, (and not In Milan, as Willis says.) of obscure, but highly respecte bie parentage, on the 17th of August, 1827, and is now, consequently, twenty-three years old. Early display- ing great capacity for musio, she studied with the best facilities she could command, till her seventeenth year, when, at the advice of the few who were con- soleus of her brilliant genius for song, she resolved to prepare hereelf for the eareer of the stage, But her parents were disinclined to this course, and endeavored to dissuade her from her purpose. In the meantime, having sung at some of the first houses of Genoa, and excited great enthusiasm, her parents yielded, so far ‘as to allow her to begin a course of thorough training ‘under the instruction of Madame Pasta, who was then living at her beautiful ri/ierte, om the shores of the Lake of Como, The moment Madame Paste heard Parodi’s voles, she reeognized the counterpart of her own. ‘There was, in other respects, @ most striking resem- piance between the blooming young (enoese girl, and the celebtated Mistress of Bong who had so long worn the musics! crown of Rurope. Resembling Pasta so olosely in person, that the portraits of her taken in her youth, were supposed to be those just executed of Parodi, and reminding all who had ever seon Pasta, of the same frank, generous, open hearted manner which had always characterized ber, an impression early got abroad that the throne whi; ‘asta had left vacant, would soon be worthily filled by the cidvane rcholera di Genova After Pasta had heard Parodi several times, and tested the capacity of her voice, she encouraged her to deliver an addeess in Wilinive™ el. in the early of December, on the life aod of Commo- wes 5 'm. ker, Now Orleans; 8. 8.

Bhe determined at omee to begin her career in the Grand Opera Italiana. She had begun her studies witt? Pasta im 1844. In 1845, she went, by invitation, to Bergamo, during the annual Mechanical and Agrioul- tural Fair, (July and August) and eppeared, for the first time, at the Teatro Riccardi, in that city. There were strangers in Bergamo from various parte of Itely and no one was prepared for so wonderful s display of musical genius, The Italian people haves quicker appreciation of genius in the arts than any other na- tion; but when the reports of her unprecedented sue- cess went forth from Bergamo, they seemed too extra- ordinary to be credited. When her engagement was closed at the Teatro Riccardi, she was invited to sing during the next car- nivale (1845-6) at Verons, « city of higher renk, botie im population and art. In Bergamo, she sang, as her, first opera, “ La Gemma di Vergy,” by Dompixettl. At the same city she represented “ I Due Fosceri;” by Verdi. At Verona, these operas were repeated with increased effect, and her fame began to spread over Italy. Applications poured in from every quarter, and the young cantatrice could hardly bélieve her geo® fortune—for of the charms of Parodi’s inimitable character has always been a modest estimate of her own powers. She chose a very brilliant occasion for her next ap- pearance. A new and exceedingly beautiful opera house bad just been completed at Spe-zia, s charming little city at the head of the gulf of that name, whiok lies half way from Genoa to Leghorn, Parodi had been invited to—what shall we say’—dedicate it! For im Italy, where the arte have long held so suprome acway, an opera house is considered worthy of @ sclemn and grand ceremonial, when its doors are thrown open for the entrance of the muses, Parodf appeared there on this splendid occasion, in“Brnani,’” by Verdi. It was a triumph which bad never bee achieved, even in Italy, by © girl of eighteen. She aleo sang in “La Gemma 4i Vergy,” with increased en- thusiasm. Although the theatre ranked only among the third class the event was everywhere noticed, an@ the Pareafts?am ph was everywhere spoken of. The nexeyecrvhe went to Palermo, where sie ap_ peared! » “Le Semiramide,” and afterwards im “Le Norma.” She was now rapidly, in her career, ap- proaching a higher and mote difficult point. Im Palermo she sang before one of the most dis criminating audiences in Italy; but she surpassed expectation. The next summer she went to Fio- rence, and n the great teatro there, sang “Le Ver ”’ of Mercadante, and “Maria di Rudens.’s She went onto Rome, and successively appearedim Otello.” ‘La Norma,’ and several other operas, tm which she excited an enthust which had not beem felt in that ancient and venerable capital for slong period. But in the next carnival she left the peninsula, amd returned to Palermo to complete her engagement, which extended through two carnivals, She now came out in a new and beautifal opera, whick had been composed expressly for her by Coppola, which was entitled “Il Fingallo.”” A new entha- sinsm was stirred, and before the carnivale was over, the feeling of the city rose to suche pitch that the whole people seemed to have gone mad for the beaa- tifal cantatrice. ‘This fact is the more singular, since her greatest triumphs were achieved during the horrors of the Bicilian revolution, while the red flames of war were rolling over the blushing bosom of that devoted island. Many a feat of heroism was performed by the women of Sicily during that terribl ter, which would have honored the chivalric @Are. Born educated in the old republicam city of Genoa, La Parodi gave ail her sympa- thies to the cause of the struggling patriots, end oO brilliawtly did she distinguish herself daring those terrific seenes, even her life would not have been safe an hour, but for tho enthusiastio devotion of the men of l’alermo, who would have piled the ground with hecatombs of brave bodies rather tham see a hair fall from the head of so generous, gifted, aad beautiful a being. These scenes of carnage, however, at last parsed away The friends of liberty were finally compelled to succumb to the overwhelming power of despotism; the hoot of the tyrant again pressed the soll, and Parody left Biolly to follow her career in Barope, She had made an engagement to sing at San Carlo, at Naples. But it was a gloomy scene to contemplate. Naples was again under the feet of the roiless Bourbon erpot; he bad butchered or imprisoned the noblest men in his kingdom, anda pall of gloom had settled over the cause cf Italian independence. At thie crisis, Lumley, the great © of the Italian Opera House in Lon & messenger to Italy to effect Parodi, who waa believed to be the only cantatrice in Burope who could prove @ formidable rival te Griel, or am equal of the Swedish Nightingale, Me suceseded Parodi appeared in Lom in © Nor- ma,” and carried the fashionable world by storm. In less than ten days the enthusiasm was um- bounded. From the highest arena in Europe, an@ from the greatest rival on earth, Parodi had come of with fclet! She appeared in rapid “Norma,” “La Fayorita,” “Semiramide, Borgia. Don Giovanni,” “ Le Nosse di Matrimonio Secreto,’ &e , and to every now soene she imparted a freshness, with every word and movement she carried s power, and over all she cast the magionll charm cf an enchantment which even Grisi had failed to command. At the close of the season of 1849, in London, Paro@l reigned supreme over the musical world. It was@ triumph without « parallel in the records of history ; for she was not yet twenty-two years eld. Summer before last she visited her home, and sag before the court at Tarin. Last spring she again ap- peared in the scenes of Hor Majesty's Theatre, in Lon don, in © La Medes,” of Mayer, in “ Ernani,” “ Nabae- co,” and “I dae Foseari.”” Her fame was already regarded as complete. But she was, on her second ap- pearance, greeted with still greater enthusiasm. She decame the pride of the aristocracy of England, and by general consent Rurope accorded to her the racamt throne of Pasta. * That we should so soon have the plossure of am~ fashionable season.
