Da LaGrange. ‘The heroie of the opera, Violette, a young woman of dissipated habit, falls m love with Alfred, © provincial, who i ternb'y infatuated with the frail beauty. Violetta, with ber Alfred, has a ulce time in the country with the money sbe has received from previous admirers. The little affair is, however, broken up by the sudden appearance of Giorgio, tathez of Altred, who implores Violet«a to give the young man his congé. After a good deal of anguwh musically expressed, Vio- Jetta copsents—cuts ber Alfred, and returns to the dissi- pations of Paris—ooneumption, champagne, anew lover and other juxuries. Alfred, mistaking her real motives, follows her about, and works himselt up tos high state Of indignation, tarowing her portrait at her feet, calling hor bard names, and otherwise misbehaving himself. Ia the Vast act Violetta dies, and Alfred finds out the truth when it ls no longer a matter of the slightest consequence. Is will bo seen that the plot is identical with that of ‘La Dame avx Cawélias,” an extremely improper, but particularly excitmg, play, in stealing which the Eaghsh Play writers were put to a great deal of trouble. Miss Davenport arranged a version in which the heroine was made s coquette. Tais was a flimsy mask, and made the play neither one thing nor the other. Miss Laura Keene ingeniously got over the difficulty by making the action of the play transpire io a dream, ending with a happy denouement, Under all forms the play has been a favorite one—chiefly because ft gives a fine opportunity for effective acting, althoagh ima moral point of view it must be condemned. Our audiences, however shocking it may seem, do not regard the theatre as “the shop for morsis,”’ aud so long as they are excited and amused without positive infraction of the Proprieties, they do not pay much attention to the lesson, moral or immoral, sought to be conveyed. The true se- cret of Verdi’s popularity ie in the fact that he knows his audience, and gives it precisely what it craves. Without dovbt, both in his music and his selection of subjects for lsdreiti, be is the moat efiective of composers. The groat success of the ‘Trovatore,”” which is extremely fau'ty as & work of art, is the best proof of the peculiar adapte- Dility of the composer’s mind to the popular taste, or Jack of taste, whichever the critics, par excellence, please to call it. ‘With reference to the music of this opera, the London critics set it down as the composer’s weakest work. Not altogether agreeing with that opinion, the performance of last nigbt satified us that although “Ls Traviata’ msy not be so effective as the “‘Trovatore,” it still abounds in melodies which will catch the popular ear, and, therefore, that its success is quite certain. In the first act we bavea monologue for Violetta, which displays all the powers of the com poser in an excellent light, and the finale, a jcyous cabaletta, full of brilliant divisions, and reaching to w in alt, made a positive furore. Madame de La Grange, who executed the music exceedingly well, but bas no dramatic feeling, was called before the cartain ‘and compelled to repeat the finale. This compliment is dve to the composer almost entirely. In the second act there is a well written romanze, very well sung by Brignoli, who appeared to great advantage in the part of Alfred, and a capital duet for the Soprano and baritone. Signor Amodio bas a solo, “Di Provenza il mar, il suol,” whichis one of the best things tn the opera, and received the best treatment at the hands of this exosllent artist. Violetia has two melo- dies in this act, “Von Sapete quale affetio,” and “addio dal pasato,” which are exquisite. Au reste, the third ‘act is one Jong concerted pisce, very Verdi-ish and very dramatic, more so from the surroundings of the scene than from the music, although that is excellent. ‘The opera was given to very critical audience, and made a success. It is hardly possible to pronounce finally upon the merits of a work of this kind after only ope hearing; but it is certainly safe to say that the “Traviata’’ will achieve a success here only second to that of the ‘‘Trovatore.”” Bowsry Taeatks—Mr. axp Mus.

The injury that has obtained through these frande to thousands of insocent men, women and children, who by cireum- stances bave been induced to invest their small carniogs in the stocks of bonds of these corporations, can hardly be mearured , and yet no steps are taken by the press the public, or by public mon, to avoid their repetition by holding wp the perpetrators to the condemnation which they merit, or by casting around these organiva- tions «68 «power by proper § iegisiation which shall efotually prevent @ repetition of these atrocitios. Perhaps it is hardly jnst to assert that the press is alto gether onmindfol of ite duty in these matters. it i more proper to deslare that they do not go far enough to produce any positive good, When a dark piece of fraud is expored they certainly hand the rascal's name over to the world ; but then it must bea frand—ene known to be such beyond any foubt or question. Thus, for example, when the iniqnities practised by Schuyler burst apon the country, and the man was known to have fled from his home to save himself from Me hands df joatice, the ont pourings of the press knew no bounds, The man stood « self convicted crimmal, and was soourged to death by in- 5 numerabie pens. There are cases of frauda apr corpo-- rations constantly apparent, wbiex have been as proc tive of as much disaster as thore of S:buyler, aid , yet the perpetrators, becaare of their boliness, are p mitted Lo go unwhipped of justice, ell ag of the of ao indignant press. ‘Trapstt Company ts one of these cases. Here w perty thet bad found innocent purchasers to to of over $2,(¢0,(00 The stockholders had surrendered its wapagement into the bands of men in this commucity celebrated for thelr wealth and standing, and enjoying the reputation that belongs by common consent to the cbaracter of New York merchants. During their ad ministration of its affairs itis bankrupted and destroyed, and the evidence is daily accumulating that iw disiruc- tom was premeditated by the very mea who bad been entrusied with its management. The difference between this piece of infamy and that practiced by Mr. Schuyler is favorable to the Jauer. Sobuyler perpetrated fraud that depreciated the property of the stockholder some fifty per cent; t e macagers of the Nicaragua Transit Company swept ‘tout of extence. Schuyler sought to save himself from ruin by using facilities within his reach, but only in the con- fident bope that some turn in fortune’s wheel would enable him to restore it; the managers of the Transl Company succeeded in absorbing the whole property, and made Jayge speculations in the shares besides, for the pur- pose of adding to their bloated wealth. Schuyler dies in poverty snd dispair, while the Nicaragua men live, cor- rupting the very atmosphere of their ruined victims, and daily greeted on ‘change’ as men of extraordinary abi- Itty and unquestioned integrity. ‘There is nothing at this ti that appeals with such force to the understanding of men, and convinces them of the corrupt state of the public morals as these diffe- rent degrees of public condemnation. If the affairs of the Nicarsgus Transit Company were properly investiga- ted, and the destroyers of its property daily held up by name to public scorn, other wicked knaves, now known to be busy using high places of responsibility and trast for the purpose of advancing their own pecuniary in- terests at the expense of the men who have trusted them, would be alarmed for their safety and driven from their an | purpores, 16 78% 2000 H RRR Ist mt 100 1000 do 3d mt. 66 10€00 IC RR Bds.. 91% 6X0 do.....D60 91% Oa 4 6 ebs Bk & N York 104 Comm’h Bank... 100 800 Lite & Tt Uo.. 9134 ¥ » MX KO do bs? 99 600 Clo & P.SRR.., 60% 200 do .....063 Aa 59% lo .-isse4 ‘187 Gal & Chi RR... 50 do... u 2700 do...
