NEW PUBLICATIONS, Porwam’s Magazine.—The September num- ‘der of this brivins monthly abounds in inte- resting matier. It opens with asmartly written article (in a literary sense) un'er the head of “Our Parties and Politic ;” but the views of the writer ere, in other respects, not marked by any great profundity of thought or intimate soquaintance with the principles of civil polity. We would recommend the able con‘uctors of this excell nt periodical not to abandon the ground which they have so successfully occu- pied, by allowing it to degenerate into a mere party organ—and that, too, more sectional thaa popular in its tendencies and sympathies. Tue fresh. charming pictures of forest life presented te usin the paper entitled “ Wood Notes,” are eontinued in the present number. The writer imevidertly a close aod enthusiastic observer efnature; and to his passionate admiration of the ever-varying aspects and phenomena of his favorite study, he unites that felicitous power ef description which is only to be acquired by careful literary cultivation. In an able article from the French of Scudo we have a just and carefully considered analysis of the merits of that exaggerated school of music properly de- signated as “the protigious,” of which Liszt is he type and the incarnation. Those who re- ‘fase to submit their correct natural taste to the arbitrary canons of the quackery of art, and who look upon music as the legitimate expres sion of poctry aad sentim-nt, and not as @ mere wehicle for the display of mechanical ex- eellence, will find in the strictures of the writer—himself one of the ablest of modern musical critics—mueb to confirm a.nd uphold their judgment. At a period when ¢.om- petition in operatic music has reached @ point with us which renders it important that we should not be led away by the eclat of ingported reputations, sound criticism of this sort, cannot Fail to have a mest beneficiei influence upon the padlio taste. There is a growing tendency ‘amongst us to form independent ideas on artis- ical sudjects, which it is desirable to strength- ‘en and encourage, by-spposing te the interested dicta of bireling enthusiasts the matured judg- ments of writers who have made music a life study, and who are too honest to submit their jedgments to the scientific pretension and affec- tation of fashionable coteries. Whilst on this sabj:ct we must not omit the opportunity of quoting from tke lucubrations of that desultory and ubiquitous philosopher, “The Editor at Lerge,” some remarks upon the condition and prospects of the operatic stage in this country, which have a present interest :— Bat let us leave the region of dollars and hypothe- cated stocks. Let us fly from that aefaulting street ; Jet us eschew bankers and directors, bulls and bears, g@nd bover over some lighter and more gracefal topic. There’s the opera! Dimes, thou Apollo of the boxes, does not thy heart beat a sort of overture of delight atthe vers sound of the werd ? Ab! you say, in that elegant Jackaduisica! manner which you alone know how to manage ; ah! dear delighifal Astor place, how charmirg it was! What happy, happy hours @nd I spend there, languishing with Doniz-tti, flirt- fig with Rossini, trembling with Mczart, deafeied with Verdi, Troffi, Benedetti, Bosio, Beletti—names that, apeil-hke, corjure up visions of past delights! ‘What deliciovs littie boxes, what enchanting : jae sips, what nods and becks and wreathed smiles flew across the littie house in which everybody knew everybody! It was heavenly, I tell you! But those times are past now, and the oli Astor is gone with them, and in its place a splendid edi- fice bas api ung into existence, farther up. We car not venture to predict the success of the Fourteenth Street Opera House, because to,be connected wit i @A opera enterprise appears to “be as untuocky for % ose concerned as it was to be the owner of the Betian Horee, or to have a plece of Tholosan gold ia one’s pocket. But, ray you, Dimes, that, notwithstanding all ‘these terrible failures, opera managers appear to be @ thriving race? There’s the miracle! The opera manager in the dali seas >n sushes off to Europs to engage a troupe. He has just been utterly ruiued by bis last specala tion, yet we find him takiog a tirst class passage on board of » Cunarder, and drinking his Burgundy ard Geisenbeimer every day at dinner, Afterhe thes been gone a couple of months, inde’ it» ra- ‘mors reach us througa the medium of t' ress, of the great things that be has been doing @ertul artists be bas engaged, the exi:a..Jinary strategems be was obliged to resort to in urlerto circumvent )ival impresarios, who wanted to obtain ssicn of the celebrated prima tonne assolato, igvors Chizzzilini, from the Teatro Saa Felice. It is also hinted that he has been obliged to pay the artists prodigious sums of money, as cacnest for tae continuance of their engagements, thous where be got said moneys the padiic is not informed. Well, in a month or g0, the broken down aad bank rupt manager returns per steamer in the very best heoltn and spints, and acoom:anied by the differ- ent members of his new troupe. Ha! at Jast tae am nign is about to be conducted with apirit. Eve- ry wail is.overed with placards containing a glow- ing prospectus of the ensuing season. There are at est two cozen new operas, never performed in this country, that are to be produced almost inmediate- ly, “ with new scenery, costames and decorations, at an expense of several millions of dollars.” The public is on the tip-toe of expectation, and every cove talks sbout the good time coming, and every ore feels agort of mental shower bath when La Sopnambula is announced for the first night. And Le Sonnambula itis, through the whole season, with haps a slight sprinklicg of Lucia, just to fresson Re peo le ups littie. Bat they go, notwithstend- ing, with s good natured pertinacity worthy of all jee, snd listen to the choruses they know by art, and the solos they could sing in their sleep, with a sort of trusting confidence that the manager will perform his promises yet. Tue season draws toa clore. inh tite tas the fact of the house haviag deen folirearly every night, it is whispered dolefally, ‘hat the menager, poor fellow, is again ruined. One or two of the chief artists get suddenly indisposed on the eg of the pefformance, and the tickets are retarred. {t leaks out, however, that the real cause ‘was 8 rebeliion on the part of the tenor, who was owed three weeks’ eslary, and who peremptorily vefused to sing until he was paid. Every one pities the poor bankrupt manager, and when it is an wounced on the bills that, 2s @ close to the season ‘end a chance for the impresario to redeem himself, the grand opera of “ Toe Titans” will be produced, “wi h new and appropriate svenery, mi cent cos- fumes, and gorgeous effects, at aa of—Hea- ven knows now many—thousands of dollars,” the public, one and ali, determine to support the enter- prising manager. “ The Titans” is produced—the goenery isn’t much, certainly, for re here seem to labor under,the impression , a8 loag as the scenery is “new” it does not matter in the ‘Teast abdcut its being good—and the house is filled wight after night to suffocation. After a solendid ran of about twelve nights, the public is astounded to hear that the manager is again ruined, and the no more. The singera have not been prid salaries, and there are newspaper fouds be- tween tne debtor and his creditors.

This is the root present movement in the House of Commons. The people have found that a free country is preferable to an op- preesed and over-taxed one; and the British government is fearfal that the advantages of tbis vast and fertile continent, and the liberality of our institutions, will draw from the United Kingdom the very vitals of her existence. no sane man will attempt to deny gration has been one of the main in- struments in the wonderful advancement of this country.
