% | time, but finally yielded; the others accepted * Khe positions under protest, avowing their sympathy with the liberal government, but submitting in fear of punishment. This does not look like a healthy feeling towards the in- vading Powers, Again, Maximilian, finding that the French contingents ure about to be : withdrawn by his quondam ally and protector, Louis Napoleon, has resorted to a draft to fill up his army. Troops raised from the Mexican people in this way are just as likely to turn their arms against the Emperor as not. Con- eapiracies, too, it appears, have been discov- ered close to the throne, concocted by parties ‘supposed to be exceedingly loyal, as in the case -of General Galvez, who has just been arrested * |eand sent under guard to Puebla. f " From all these facts, even admitting the dis- -y “crepancies in the news from different sources, we are disposed to conclude that imperialism is not in very flourishing condition in Mexico, and that the time is not far distant when the ex-Archduke Maximilian may be packing up -bis baggage for a lengthened visit to Miramar. District Attorney Hatt says that the theat- ical managers and monopolists deny to the dramatic authors the rewards of their labor. ‘Tux Inequairies or THE New Excise Law.— ‘We took occasion the other day to refer to ‘the stringency of the new Excise law aso bar to its practical operation. The effect of impos- ing too many restrictions upon the eale of any commodity, we know by experience, ts equiva- lent to rendering the law inoperative. It has always proved so with regard to laws regulat- ing the sale of liquors. They have almost in- variably become dead letters. We havt re- ceived several communications complaining of the severity with which the Excise law bears upon small dealers; first in the excessive license of two hundred and fifty dollars de- manded, and next in the promptness with which the payment of that sum 1s demanded— namely, on Tuesday next, the first day of May. It is urged that this rule operates in favor of large establishments like the Astor House, Delmonico’s and other hotels, and is at the same time oppressive upon establishments doing a small business, which cannot afford to pay the maximum price for a license. There is some truth in this argument. The law leaves it optional with the Excise Commissioners to charge a license ranging from thirty to two hundred and fifty dollars, and it seems to be only fuir that they should discriminate between dealers doing a large. and profitable business and those whose business is very small. Our correspondents state that the highest rate has been demanded from them, and that they will be compelled to abandon their busi- ness altogether in consequence. While it is : desirable that the spread of intoxication should ' be resisted, and that disreputable or disorderly drinking saloons should be shut up by the im Position of a heavy license fee, there are many houses which are properly conducted that will be made to suffer if the heaviest penalty be imposed. The Commissioners should, there- fore, exercise du* discrimination in the matter, and take care that equity as well as law should be sustained in the granting of licenses. i Dusrnicr Attorney Hat says that if Shake- pere were to draw another Shylock he would make him a theatrical manager. Fine Arts. * A collection of pictures, announced as the works of many of the ancient masters, the property of Mr. Robert Smith, of Philadelphia, wore sold at auction last evening by H. H. Leeds, at the old Dusseldorf gallery, Broadway. + ° The crtalogue juded pictures reputed to be by Rubens, Titian, Carlo Dolci, Van Dyke, Teniers, David, Paul Veronese, Philip Wouvermans, Cuyp, Murillo, + Guido, Zucharelli, Poolemburg and other eminent paint- ors. It is unnecessary to say that very few of the genu- ine works of the above mentioned artists have found their way to this country, and we very much doubt whether a single picture by some of them exists on this side of the Atlantic. If there be any exception, the ‘works are not likely to be found in an auction gallery. “j ‘We do not look for a Paul Veronese, for instance, a Rubens. a Van Dyke or a Titian, offered for sale under these circumstances, However, if people are willing to buy pictures on the faith of a name, or a monogram, woll and good. Very few of those sold last might pos- sensed any intrinsic value even as good copier. Many of them were not passable imitations of the style or coloring of the masters they were said to represent. ‘Two or three pictures, without any very pretentious Bame attached, were good, and brought a fair value, such + as two companion pieces by Bout and Boudewyns, which were sold to James W. Gerard for $106 apiece, and two Jandacapes by Thiel, which brought $240, and a composi- tion by Battoni—‘‘Coriolanus and Volamnia’—which sold for $340. Pictures marked as by Caciacel, Carlo Doloi, Teniers and Veronese sold for very little over the value of the frames and canvas, The highest price realized for any picture was $600, for a copy of Vandyke. The en- ‘entire portion of the collection brought $8,550. The re- mainder of the gallery will be sold this evening. It sn- cludes four good pictures by Lucca Giordano—‘"The Sea- eons.” ‘THE FINE ARTS IN THE PROVINCES. ‘The example which the metropolis is setting in the cultivation of the fine arts, to which the discriminate criticisms of the Herat have contributed so much, is boing followed in the provinces; for we observe that an Academy of Music and Art has been established in the city of Rochester, over the musical department of which Mr. Henri Appy, the violinist, to preside, We have had several very respectable pictures on exhibition in our public galleries from cities and towns in the country occasionally, some by Rochester artista, It ts desirable that the fine arts should receive due con- sideration all over the country, and we trust that the Rochester Academy is but « preliminary to a series of such institations, We cannot do too much for art, if we ‘would elevate public taste toa standard equal to our great commercial prosperity.

Eerl Resse! Measure Introduced Mr. Gladstone—Seenes Around a: the House of Commons—The Debate and Amendment of Lord Grosvenor— ‘The Bill Likely to Pass the Lower House, &e. In the House of Commons on the 12th of April, in presence of s crowded house, Mr. Gindstone, in an earnest speech, moved the second reading of the gov- ernment Reform bill. He replied to various objections raised by the opponents of the bill, He said the time had come for deeds, not words, and besought the House not only to be wise, but wire in time, Earl Grosvenor moved the amendment, of which he had given notice, in favor of postponing the question of re- form until the entire scheme contemplated by the gov- ernment was laid before Parliament. Lord Stanley seconded the amendment Neither of them questioned the expediency of reform, but contended that extension of the franchise should not be separated from the question of re-distribution of seat, Speeches were made in favor of the bill by the Marquis of Hartington and others, and against it by General Peel nnd others, when the debate was adjourned. There was no undue excitement either in or outside of the House, and no indication whatever of that mob demonstration which some members affected to antici. pate. The few hundreds who were assembled outside the House loudly cheered Mr. Gladstone and other prominent liberals on their arrival. On the 13th of April the debate was resumed. Among the speakers were Sir B. Bulwer Lytton and Mr. Liddell against, and Stewart Mill and Baxter in favor, The de- iH i if dijlt f z hearty and unanimous.

Our despatches from London, dated to the 12th of April, report :—German airs continue in undiminished Uncertainty, causing great depression in the funds and commerce generally. The London Times of the 12th, in its city article, says the only fact before the public is that all proceedings between Austria and Prussia are from day to day iden- tical ‘with those which have usually preceded every modern war between powerful aations. ‘The Vienna Presse of the 11th publivhes a telegram stating that tho Prussian reply tothe last Austrian note gives a decisive refusal to the Austman demand that Prussia should withdraw its order for the mobilizatiom of its troops, this order having been issued only as a defen- sive measure, The Prussian note further declared that, warned by the fact of the Austrian government having made warlike preparations, the Prussian Cabinet is bound to consider these preparations as destined for against Prussia, Vienna Morgen Post says the German govorn- ments have unanimously determined, at the dext sitting of the Federal Dict, to reject the Prussian proposition for reform of the Diet, At the same time a motion is to be brought forward requesting the Diet to sammon Prussia to discontinue its armaments. * ‘The Berlin Provinzial Correspondenz says that Prussia haa a well founded hope that the German government and people will mupport the Proposition for reforming any. the constitutidh of : ¢ Paris correspondence published in the London Times of the 14th ot April says that hopes of peace in Germany are rapidly vanishing, and insinuates that the semblance of neutrality by France few believe to be sineore, Warlike rumors continue to circulate in Vienna and Berlin, and the armaments continue. ‘A Vienna despatch says that the Prussian reply to the last Austrian note was received on tho 12th inst. It do- clines in laconic terms to accede to the’ demands of Austria for the demobilization of the Prussian force. London despatches of the 15th of April say:—The German crisis continues, The rumors concerning the difficulty are vague and contradictory. ‘The news from Vienna is still warilice. .

Tho: Indios turned ont im force Wednesday to bid! fare- wall to the above distinguished pianist previous to his a from America, He was assisted by the very best talent that could be found in New York, Mr. Rich- aré Hoffman played Thalberg's fantasia on Norma‘and the March of the Amazons with him, and Mrs. Marte Alfpott, soprano; Miss Frida de Gebel, contralto; Mr, . Wittiam «Castle, tenor, and Mr. 8. ©. Campbell, baritone, wore the vocalists. Mr. Webli played his fantasia: om Faust, Home, Sweet Home (for the left hand), Heather. belis, the Dance of the Bacchanals, and others of “hid brilliant compositiona. ‘The Dance of the Baccha- nals is very like the Amazons’ March, being copstructed tn precisely the game manner. Thero is a hetithful freshness and rustic grace about the Heather. bells which was a relief from the ponderous style of many of those praniets who have appeared this semon, Although we have described the exquisite work of Thalberg before in tho Herat, yet the style in which it was performed Wednedsay demands notice. Every phiase and bar was given with rare expression and power, particularly tho briliiant spray that is dashed over the Druids’ March, ‘There was nothing clumsy, un- intelligible or vague in any part of the duot, but shading, cobring and sentiment in every measure, Mr. Webili, it is true, haga peculiar bravara style of his own, which is rather light and airy, but it is a@ style tha, im his hands, ever will be popular. Acctisp, sympathetic and mobile touch, by which the softest passages are given with distinctness and seem to drop from his fingers like diamond points, and a graceful conteption of a work, wil! ever place him at the head of modern pianists. Mr Hoffman is the best representative of this school we have in this city after Mr. Webli’s de- parture. Others may perplex their hearers with strange and eccentric ideas, but this school of grace, sympathy and brilliancy will never appeal to the heart in vain, Mr. Webli's extraordinary powor of technique gives him. unlinited command over the piano. Technique is only the means conducive to the end which all musicians should alm at; and Mr. Wehti, besides this powor, has the gare quality of rhythmical exprossion and delicate per- ception of the beautiful in bis rendering. Tho quartet of vocalists was unexceptionable. Vordi's duet in Traviata, trio in Ernani and quartet in Rigo- lotto were given in a manner which would reconcile a person tothe works of the Italian composer. We have heard him butchered and mutilated so unmercifully at concerts by si disant artists from bis own country that we wore almost tempted to forget what he was in his younger days; but Wednesday he received the honors due to him, Mra, Abbott sang “0, Ye Tears," by Abt, splondidly, and Mr, Castle rendered the evor welcome little song LAST SOIRBE OF ONANBEN weme Schumann, Schabert and Beethoven were ably repre- eented by Messrs, Thomas, Moscethal, Matzke, Bergner and Mason at the last soiree of chamber music at Dod- worth Hall. Wo wore agrooably surprised ‘to hear what a beautiful trio Schubert has loft usin his ninely-ninth work im Bat. It ts fantastic and whimsical, but pos- seanen the elementa of true art, ospecially in the andante, which breathos of soul and passion. A string quartet in E flat, opus 127, by Beothoven, was admirably given. Ths first part, macstoeo, is unsativfactory and vague, but the adagio and andante following are the very tmper- sonification of pathos and tenderness In these woireen there is little chance for the executants concealing a want of due appreciation of the com. poser apd necessary rehearsal and practice aiid the massing of an orchestra, and it is no small proof of their ability to be able to ronder the works they attempt in such an artistic manver’ Even in the fitful and capri- cious scherze the idea of the composer is faithfully carried oat by them, and the phrasing of every part given with all the unity and distinctness it demands This quartet and the orebestra of the symphony soirees have been the first to iggroduce in America the instrumental works of Schamann and Schubert, at a time when such an outery was made in Europe and America against these daring but successful innovators. The present popularity of both composers is mainly due to the exertions of the artista who introduced them. Some of the violoncello passages in the trio of Schubert are worthy of Mozart or Mendamohn. The plano part was not given with the expressive power it demanded, and im some measure formed a contrast with the viotin and violoncello. There was a hardness of ontline that made ft disgreeably prominent avd marred the effect of some of the most striking passages. In an instrumental trio or quartet the most devirable quality is the blending of the various parts and the absence of all individual predominance on the part of the instruments. The string quartets were entirely free from this, but the trio was marred by it These solrees serve as a school of the works of the great masters, aad one can form a better idea of their peew Marities there than at any symphony concert, The eleventh year has closed triampta who first undertook the unwelcome sical music is bow a necessary DODWORTH HALL.
