ee Musical and Dramatic Matters. The preliminary arrangewents for the next opera ees- p06 bave been completed, and wehear that Mr, Strakguoh will sail ter Zarope ou next Wednesday, probably for somé great atar,,az there are plenty of good artists here already, and most of them actually engaged either by Strakosch or Ulman, who bive combined their forces—s very #ensi- “plé movewent for all parties, Everybody suffers by op- poaition im opera matters—artists, puviic aod ‘manager. Itt presumed that the Sepwembes gexsun will be opened with Cortgsi, aithough the anuoancetment of her actual cn gégomect is premature. Unless Mr, Strakosch should find. sometivg particularly gocd or particularly dear, (and in art matters price seems to be cere the gtandard of value), the personnel of the Opera ext eeason will be about the sumo as before, Mr. Ull- man’ has in contoagtation some draraatic specalatioas, but as yet they bave no dofinite form. ‘The natural uptown determination of our population, aad the rapid progress of the Central Park, is having « wondeiful effect upon summer amusements, Such places ‘as the Palace Garden, Jone’’ Wood, etc., are found to pay better than all the theatres pat together, Last season, a8 avill be readily remembered, Mr. Maretzek—than whom no ons is more ready at discovering the public taste, aod able at catering for it—initiated a serles of festivals at Jonos’ Wood, There was magnificent music, s fue river view, dancing, promenading, cating, drinking, boat walling, aud 80 of, without end. The grounds were visited in oue day by over ten thousand people, and although the expenses were enormous the recolpta quite covered * them. A repetition of the festivals was decise4 upon g0ome time ago, and the new sories will commence on Mon day, 18th instant, and continue through the week. Va rious novelties will be introduced, including a grand battle picce. Theconductorsare Maretzek, Anschutz, Bristow and Grill. During this week the full programmes will be pabliched, when the public will receive a pleasant sur- prise and tbe promise of a most agreeable concert at a merely nominal price, with many other nice things thrown ip for nothing. Wo know of nothing nicer for the Can’t get awdy-Club than these Jones’ Wood festivals, managed a8 they are so cleverly by Maretzek. ‘The Paloce Garden, with Mr. Baker’s clever and popular muste, as well as numberless other attractions, is a point of interest both for citizens and strangers. ‘Theatri¢a! business, except at Niblo’s, bas been slow work,and there bas been no epecial effort to make it otherwise. The summer seasons wil probably all con. -Clude before the first of next month, as it is the intention . Of the managers to commence the fall campaign earlier {than usval, fhe Metropolitan passes into the hands of Mr. Stuart, the projected theatre in Union square having been abandoned for the prevent on account of a dispute about the right of way across the site, which waz settled by the sale of the lease. With this exception, tue thea- tres next season will be under the samé direction as hore- tofore, It ts believed that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean will be among tho early attractions of thd metropolitan, which ‘Will be thoroughly recontructed and re-decorate’, At Niblo’s Garden Mr. Burton made his rentrée after a ichgtaencd ebsenco—during which to respad aay quantity 6f provincial iaurels—on Monday, and has played in his fa- vorite rdles—Cutile, Sioek, &c.—to crowded houses. With . &he lagt sentence before us criticlam tg out of the question. An artist why can singly draw people to the theatre at this season must be great, and Mr. Burton’s pieces never feem td be old for the public. ‘Fa night he plays two of hiz best parts—Sudden in the “ Breach of Promise,” and the immortal Toodles. At the Metropolitan theatre ‘ Biegk House,” with its five distribution, embracing Mr. Walcott, Mr. Holland, Mr, Dyott, Mise Clifton and Miss Gannon, and “Trying it Ox,” with Mr, George Jordan, will be played to night. At Watlsck’s theatre the bill for to-night includes the “White Horse of the Peppers,’ with Mr. Florence as Gerald Pepper, and “A Lesson for Husbands,” in which Mrs. Florence sings, dances and acts geverally in the most wonderto! way. At Laura Keene’s theatre the Misses Gougenheim will produce tonight the clever drama, “Giralda,” and the Dorieeque of “Tho Invisible Prince.” The present is the leet week of the summer season at this house. At the Bowery theatre the pretty sisters, Lucille and , wad"Helen Western, commence an engagement this even- ».ing,,play ing in “Green Bugbes”’ and ‘ Jenny Lind.”” sAt the National theatro to-night the spirited directress, Mise Bell Carr, takes her first bonefit, and aunounces tinty Plarse-'Tho, Venetian,” “The Orphan of Geneva,” ‘and “Jack Sheppard.”” AX Barrum’s Museum, Wyman, the wizard, will give his exhibitions thie afternoon and evening.. Weod’s Miostrels remain single in the fleld of Ethiopian minstrelsy. Mr. E. Born, one of the quaintest and best o° performers in this lue, has joined the ‘Wood forces and appoare to night.

A Cotorgy GrntieMaN ViNDICATRS FIs Wire's Hoxor,— ‘There was great excitement in Pink row, near Sycamore street, on Saturday night. The row is occupied atmost - entirely by colored pereons. Two men, named John Moore and Dad Hicks, got into a dispute about two o’ciock én the morning. Hicks, it appears, had circulated some scandalous stories in relation to Moore’s wife, and the fact coming to Moore’s cars he was determined on revengo, and with this view provided himself with a pistol. Tae opportunity goon occurred by the appearance of Hicks when, charging him with having given circulation to false statements about his wife, and being further aggravated by the naturo of the answers given, bo drew his weapon avd fired, the shot striking Hicks in the left leg. Otlicer Phranes coming up, took Moore in‘o cus tody, and Hicks was cent to the Hospital. The bail was exiracted, and it being ascertained tha the wound was not of a dangerous character, he was ducted back to his home.

Of. fleer Paoow, of the Third Precinct Pacon, police, subsequentiyy reste Por) the Aoguaed. They were brought betore comes On Katurday, and committed to: awail « ee eens public interest, Tue encouragement giren to foreign artists who come here under managerial auspices is however, unfortunately, not always commensurate with their mertts, There are tnituences brought to bear in connection with all great operatic enterprises which tend either to oxag- gerate or to depreciate the capabilities of particular dilniants. At one time they are due to the competition of rival troupes, at another to the necessity of keoping back uitested merit in order not to mar the reputation ofsome temporary favorite. In this way talent isoften compelled to yield the palm to mediverity, to the regret of those who can distinguiah between the true and the false. If we desire to arrive at the reputation of a discrim!- nating musical community, we must take care to ropel the insidious influences to which wo aro subjected in these matters. We, are proverbial as & pco- plo for our ecepticism on most points of faith; why, therefore, should we surrender our judgments to musical caterers. They are not more trustworthy than the thousand other speculators who claim a share of the Public patronage; neither are they more infallible, While they frequently endeavor to pass off counterfeits upon us, they are as often deceived in their own estimates of their prot: ‘Wo should, therefore, be perpetually on our guard agetnst their representations, and only accord our approvel after a careful analysia of the qualities on which it is founded, Tt ig especially the duty of the press to kcep faithfu ‘watch and ward over the pretensions which are put for- ward to the public favor in connection with the Italian. Iprical drama, So little is as yet critically understood in regard to it'by those who take pleasure in its effects, that it i8 eeeential that journalists who have an opportunity of observing the careers of the artists who come to us with reputations, either deservedly acquired or manufac: tured for this particular community, should keep the public au courant of their exact position and standing. In doing this they will as frequentty rescue merit from the oblivion to which it is liable to be consigned by circumstances, as reduce to their just level the claims of pretenders who are foisted on us to mect the exigencies of a commercial speculation. ‘Taking this view of our obligations, it gives us pleasure to do justice to the merits of a composer and artist with whom our public are but imperfectly acquatnted, although in Tialy the appreciation in which ho is held would have warranted, ou the part of the enterprises with which he has been connected here, a much more libera! mention of bis antecedents. Occupying ostensibly merely the post of con- ductor to the Acudemy of Music, and in that capacity ghar- ing only the general credit of the management, the gentie- man to whom we allude—-M. Muziomreste his clalqae to our seure, His career, taken m connection with the particular style of music which has obtained such popularity amongst Ug, Posscrses so many features of interest that wo fee! that we sball gratify our readers by giving a brief sketch of it. M. Muzio iss nephew of the celebrated Italian com- poser Verdi, and was born at Bugscto,a sma!! town in the Duchy of Parma. His uncle discovoring in him the germs of remarkable musical talent, took him at an early age under his tuition, and carried him about with him to all the principal cities of Italy. In this way he soon learned to appreciate the merits of the different Italian schools of composition, whilst at the same time he pro- fited rapidly by his uncle’s instructions. When he was sufficiently advanced in his studies Verdi employed him to superintend the rehearsal and arrangement of his operas, and he thus became, as it wore, the interpreter of the works of his illustrious master. After assisting him with the operas of “‘Macbeth,’’ the “ Masnadieri,”’ ““Jerusa- lem,” “Luisa Miller,” “Rigolletto,” “Stifellio,” the “Troyatore,” “Traviata,’’ “Simone,” and ‘*Boccanegri,”” M. Muzio betook himself to the task of original compo- sition, and in 1851 he wrote for the Italians, at isrus- eels, the opera. of “Giovanna la Pazza,” which was imme- diately after reproduced at Milan. This success Was followed by an engagement to compose for the Milan theatre another opera, “La Claudia,” which was performed in all the principal cities ef Italy, and again twice repro- duced in Milan—av honor but rarely awarded in that city, which prites itself on the constant production of novel- The next work brought out by M. Muzio was the “Due Regine,’’ wich was performed at La Scala with the same marked success; and in twelve months afterwards be pro . duced at Bologna ‘La Sorrentina,” which, after “Claudia,” may be considered his best opera. La Bassegy!o, Mirate, Bonedetti and Merly were the artists upou whom devbived the first representations of this fine work. It was performed fourteen times in succession, and the fourth act, in which Basseggio made an immenee impression, was on each o2 casion encored and repeated. Although much of his time wns, as we have shown, given to writtog, M. Muzio ma: naged still to devote himself to the active duties of his pro” fession, He filled successively the post of conductor to the operas of Milan, Venice, Padua, Florence and several other Italian cities. Since bis arrival in this country, M. M has not occupied himself with any important operatic work, but be has nevertheless continued his labors ef | composition and published severa) detached morceaux for the piano. Amongst his more recent successes we may specify the + Piccolomini Waltz,” which was £9 greatly admired last winter, the bonutiful polka, “Cambon et Baby,” the spirited galop, “ Oswald,” and the aria, 1a Zingara,” which was sung at al! the Piccolomini concerts by Mile. Ghioni, When M, Mozio mounted the opera of “11 Poliuto” for the Academy, he composed und intro. duced an air in it for Piccolomini, which was enoored at the each represcntation, and when Cortesi undertoos same réle as her predecessor, he wrote another arin for her which had a ike success. In a week or two we un derstand tha} we shall alzo baye from bis peo a waltz ea- tutied + La Valse Rebeoca,”’ a Magenta mazurka, and so. yeral martial Italian eongs, apropos to the objects of the prevent campaign The qualities by which M. Muzto’s compositions are more particulariy distinguished are tenderness of se! ment and clearnces and purity of melody. When he touches the piano be pleases his hearers leas by his exe- cutive feats than by his natural and simple method of ex. pression. He is a true artist, animated by Ligh and noble sepirationg, but modest witbal and doubtful of his own brillant capacities. Although he bas written much end achieved successes which might well gratify a man of ordinary ambition, be speaks of himself as being oniy on tho threshold of the temple of art.
