8 THE TURF. manguration of the Racing Season at ken—Two Good Races and a Walk ‘The fourth annual spring meeting of the Hi Oounty Agricultural Society commenced y ‘at the Hoboken racecourse with three races oD card, the first being @ post stale for two year ol the second @ dash of a mile and @ half—the Derby ¢istance—and the third a post stake premium for colts and fillies two years old at the time of entrance, For the latter race there were six entries, Mr, T. B. Reed having one by Breckenridge, Colonel§{McDaniel two, one by Planet and the other by Jeff Davis; Colonel Bush one by imported Lapidist, Mr. Morris cone by imported Eclipse and Major Bacon one by Bill Cheathem, When the timearrived for starting none butthe entry of Mr, Reed and one of Colonel Mc- Daniel’s came to the post. The latter gentleman's entry, the bay filly by Jeff Davis, showing lameness at that moment, it was deemed prudent to withdraw her. In consequence of this withdrawal there were no horses to contend with Mr, Reed’s entry, and the race resulted in a walk over for the stake. The first race was between two year olds, three coming to the post, the winner being Bonnie Lags, by Bairownie, dam Pasta, by Revenue. This filly is a bay, with black points, slightly’and elegantly pro- portioned, the very beau ideal of a racing filly, and reminding us forcibly of our impression of Fashion when she first appeared on the racecourse, In the race yesterday Bonnie Lass took the lead at the start, and was never headed during the run, passing under the string with a heap of speed still left in her. Mr. Sanford’s entry, Minx, the second in the race, was got by Lexington, dam Mildred, by Glencoe isa very large and lusty looking Milly, a bay, with white hind feet, the near fore foot being of the same color, with a star in her foreead. The other filly in the race—Mr. Dowling’s— by Breckenridge, dam the dam of Morrissey; is a bay of fine size. She has three white feet, two behind and one before on the off side; she has also a white face. Op the whole she 1s a fine looking filly, but in the race did not exhibit the racing qualit that were expected of her. The race itself, so far as it lay be- tween the entries of Colonel McDaniel and Mr. San- ford, was a creditable affair Rip os gan and gave neral satisfaction. The run, too, was compara- Ereiy a quick one when the nature of the track, the age of the fillies and the weight they carried are taken into consideration, 4 The second race was won by Local, a horse not thought of in the betting, his apparent condition being such that few dare venture to risk their money on him, although he had been a winner in many races since his three year old form. The favorite in this race was Vauxhall, owned by Messrs, McOConnel & Harness, whose reputation, based on gome unknown quality, stood so high that he was Jeft out of the pools, while the others sold for what they were thouglit to be relatively worth. The suc- cess of Vauxhall seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and when a few gentlemen had the presumption to take the field against him at evens they were ridi- culed for their lack of judgment. They won their money, however, much to the ohagr in and disappointment of the worshippers of Vauxhall The time of this race will bear favorable comparison with that lately made in the English Derby, being only a second and a half slower and that, too, over a track that was anything but a quick one. “We hardly dare to compare the merits of the winner of this race with those of the winner of the Derby, Blue Gown, who is a three year old, and in all probability carried as heavy weight as Local did eee, who isa five year old; still we think the Derby course was so much better than the Hoboken as almost to compensate for the ditference between weight and age. This race was a remark- ably good one and well run from the commencement, Sieety, the stable companion of Local, taking the favorite in hand at the beginning and ranning until she could ran no further, when Local changed posi- tions with her, and making a rush for Vauxhall col- Jared bim on the last quarter and captured him on the homestretch, winning tye race gallantly. The attendance at the meeting was not so great as We would have liked to have seen and what the fine rograimme of sport offered should have called forth; jut the sii attendance may be attributed in part to the fact that a trot between four of the best horses in the country was advertised to take place on the wame day at the Fashion Course, the tendency of which was to divide the patronage between them. Another drawback was the lowering state of the atmosphere, which gave such threatening indica- tions of rain as to deter many from visiting the track who otherwise would have done so, After the termination of this affair the Secretary of the Cdurse announced that if the weather should prove stormy on the moryow the racing would be postponed until further notice. di geESEERe iy 5 FIRST RACE.

First Heat.—The time having arrived, the four | horses appeared on the track, Li Thorn, as be- fore, wou the pole, Wilkes the second place, Luey the third and Butler being allotted the outside. Several starts were made before the horses got away. In all of these, both in this heat and the others, it was the custom of Lady Thorn to move far down the homestretch for the put of coming up with the greatest momentum, ough behind the others in these efforts, before the stand would be reached she would be head and head with the others. Her action Was not noticeably different from that displayed be- fore, the same direct, intense energy seeming to impel her movements. Lucy appeared to particular advan- tage, her action being remarka’ nimble and alert. Butier ran unusually well, while Wilkes evinced those merits which characterized him before. On the fourth start the horses got off together. Lady Thorn soon sped ahead, with Wilkes immediately behind and Ssrngpling hard for the first position. Lucy, not far behind, was third, while Butler, breaking on the turn, dropped many lengths to the rear. These posi- tions were maintained, Butler a graaually gaining aud Wilkes homing. slightly until the quarter pole was reached in thirty-five seconds and a quarter. Lady Thorn still led, Wilkes closing upon her a little, and Lucy following at @ distance of several lengths. Butler was twenty lengths behind the others. ‘The trotting along the backstretch was remarkably tine, every horse bearing downto the work with its best skill and most concentrated vigor. Thorn and Wilkes were almost parailel as they passed the half mile pole, which was reached in 1:10%,. Soon after Wilkes, straining every muscle, came up head and head with Thorn, then fell behind a little in the middie of the Flushing turn. Lucy was twelve lengths behind these, and Butler was about the same distance further back. Nearing the three-quarter pole Wilkes seemed to leap onward, passing this point slightly ahead of Lady Thorn, but sweeping into the homestretch the latter grew more ambitious and was soon neck and shoulders ahead of the vay horse and gaining rapidiy. Lucy had by this time nearly reached Wilkes, when the latter pulled across the track In front while half way down the homestretch. Thorn reached the | score several lengths ahead, winning the heat in 2:24, the fastest wagon time on record. Lucy, accelerating her speed, gained on Wilkes and passed him at the score halla length. Butler came in ten or twelve lengths to the rear, At the beginning and during the starting Lady Thorn lost a shoe, which, however, was promptly replaced. While passing (ue stand the driver of Lucy augriiy remarked to Sam McLaughiin, “Do you see what | did then +” Second Heat.—Lady ‘thorn was a greater favorite than ever, selling for 100 to 20 against the field. The excitement Was not great, the result simply meeting the general anticipation, A faint mist began to fall in occasional whirls at this time, but so fine as not rence. Before this heat began Sain ordered up before the stand, and was cautioned by the judges to the effect that crossing the course on the homestretch was con- trary to just rule, and he was advised not to do so ‘ain. They believed it to have been‘oniy accidental, Wilkes had the best of the send off, Butler shortly after the start breaking and falling behind. Lady ‘Thorn soon asserted her supremacy, and closed up head and head with the brown horse. They pan in this position along the turn, Lucy six lengths be- hind and Butler twelve lengths to the rear of her, Luey gradually gaining, Lady Thorn accelerated her speed and passed tie quarter pole in thirty-six and three quarter seconds, about one length ahead of Wilkes. This position was maintained for awhile along the backstretch, Wilkes and Lucy gradually closing on the bay mare, but BuUer stilt doing his best at a distance to the rear of ten lengths.

Lucy, during the latter portion of the home- stretch, gained on Wilkes and was nearly paraliel with him, falling back and reaching the score, how- ever, several lengths behind. Butier made his appearance fourth, at a distance of ten lengths from H i ucy.

This relative position was main- tained until the quarter poie was reached in thirty- six and three-quarter seconds. Ilere, how- ever, Butler, who had secied to be imbued with a new spirit, developed surprisins specd assing Lucy like the wind and gaining along the kstretch until he ran head and head with Wilkes, Lady Thorn being two lengths ahead of both. These three now gradually closed up until daylight was shut out between them, passing the half mile pole iu 1:13, Their established qualities, however, seemed to again assert themselves, anu Wilkes dropped one leugih to the rear of Lady Thorn, and Butler gradually iost ground uniil six lengths behind the bay horse.

CRICKET. The Opening Day of the New York Cricket Club and First Scratch Match of the Season. Whether cricket was invented in the pre-Adamite stage and foot balling a specialty of our forefathers are questions which the Very Reverend Dr. Coleuso could determine better, perhaps, than Bell's Lise. If the game has such an ancestral renown it cer- tainly has laid quietly by on the shelf for a good many hundred years, for it was only in the last cen- tury that it began really to be known. Since then its progress has been rapid and emphatic. It has be- come a favorite pursuit with-all young men sprung | from the Anglo-Saxon race, and both in England and America, where that race has matured and ramified, it is, par eecellence, the musgular sport of the day. Some two or three weeks since a slight sketch was given in the ‘ALD Of the appearances and pros- pects of the coming cricket season. Yesterday the first match—on the opening day of the New York Cricket Club—took place, Hine ille lachryme, Eleven o'clock was the hour named for the club to rather on the old grounds at the foot of Nini street, foboken, and it was after twelve o'clock before the first comer came, and nearly two before there wasany number at all to speak of. Soon after the latter hour, however, they began to grep in by twos and threes, and the ‘scratch’? match which had hitherto been regarded as doubtful was now looked upon as a certainty. The “trusty” Byron put in an appear- ance brimful of the regular esprit du corps; the valiant Higham, most portly and invaluable of wicket keepers, was not wanting; the fleetfooted Hayward; wonderful boy “Joe,” who improves each shining hour; the heavy-armed Lee, industrious Rogerson, and hard working President, all, all were there, while Norley, the professional of the St. George Cricket Club, graced the ground with his presence. After some little delay, which was cop ret in the most praiseworthy manner by satisfying the wants of the “inner man,” Messrs, Byron and Rogerson proceeded to draw for sides from the twenty two of the club that were present. The trusty Byron Won the toss for innings, and sent in himself and Joe Robinson to the wickets to the bowling of Wells (slow round around) and Kerr (fast round), Byron was indefatigable as usual, displaying his customary sticking properties, but Joe had to succeed for 4, out of which he made a capital 3. Hayward also dis- pas a good force, but Glass, a novice in the club, bore away the ball, coming out with 16, out ef which he had two 3’s and three 2's, Byron made 13 by some fine play and Ha’ d 11. The whole eleven got out for 68, which was well put together, consid- ering the ground, which was in no condition for running.

Aulantic vs. Eureka. The Coubtful aspect of the weather yesterday and ut the weather clerk has been peculiarly and ¢\travagantiy lachrymose this season militated most severcly against the prospect offered by the promised match between the Jate champion Atlan- tics and the pride of Newark, the Eurekas, The At- lanties presented their full nine for the first time, and aithough no very great evidences of excellency were given where they were generally iooked for, there was enough shown to satisfy all present that the At- lanties will be tough customers to meet during the coming season, aud that the expectations of the young Canadiaus that they will whip the Brooklyn- ites in their tilt at Niagara during the tournament, will prove to be the progenitors of most'Kiisastrous hopes. The Eurekas—a party composed of gentle- men who play the game with a spirit most commend- able, and with whom it is @ pleasure and an honor to associate—were on hand in time, but were evidently too weak for the tough, trained and tried nine pitted n. The game, however, passed on very and ended with the following score:— FUREKA. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Baltimore american (radical) calls the sugges- , tion that General Grant should resign his military position because he has been nominated for the Presidency “a piece of gratuitous meanness.” A Washington correspondent of the Providence Jour- nai in this connection observes:—The power con- ferred on General Grant under the Reconstruction acts is so important that it is unsafe for him to re- sign. Prominent republicans insist that for the good of the country he must postpone his resignation till Congress meets again in December.”” Ex-Governor Pierpoint Vamoseth in Disgust. Ex-Governor F. H, Pierpoint, of Virginia, has ad- dressed a valedictory note to the editor of the Rich- mond New Nation, in which he says:—‘Before | left Richmond I hoped that the affairs of the republican party would be so managed that I could take an ac- tive part in the canvass for the adoption of the pro- posed constitution; but I found that the three pow- ers in the State determined to break down all the political influence I had.in the State. Those powers seemed to be harmonizing, I think, not to restore the State to the Union, unless under certain cireum- stances, 1 saw that my presence was likely to pro- duce faction, to which might be attributed the de- feat of the constitution. Therefore, after mature de- liberation, I determined not to let my name go before the late so-called Nominating Convention, and to quietly remove from the State, which 1 have done.”” Popular and Electoral Vote for President. The following table gives the popuiar and electoral vote, so far as we have been able to procure them, since the first election of George Washington:— ‘Blec- By What | P ir | torad Name of Candidates.

The Chicago Republican (radical) thus exults upon the nominations of Grant and Colfax:—“The nom- inations yesterday illustrate the westward march of empire. The candidates for the two highest offices in the gift of the people are selected from the two most powerful States of the West—lying in close con- tiguity, side by side, Thus does the country recog- nize the progress the West has made and the politi- cal power she has attained.” The Nashville Gazette—Pendleton and Adams democrat--thus philosophically sums up recent events:—“‘Impeachment dead; President still in the White House, and Stanton in the War Office. No- body hurt. Much ado about nothing. The statu quo reigns supreme. Some folks like it; but we do Not like it any better now than we did before.” The latest story about the delegates from Virginia to the New York Convention is that they “propose to take a back seat, but will advise Hancock’s nomina- tiod.”? The Chicago Times--prejudiced democrat--snaps at Chicago nominations in this way:--‘‘The American people--those that inhabit the West, at any rate— need not to be told who Schuyler Colfax is. He isa politician of the smallest calibre of any that ever gained, by toadyism or good luck, @ newspaper puff beyond the county he lives in, With Grant, the man of no principles, at the head, and Colfax, the man of no brains, at the tail, the Jacobin ticket is a very perfect arrangement.’? The terms of the seven republican Senators voting “not guilty” on the eleventh article of impeachment expire as follows:—Fessenden, of Maine, 1871; Fow- ter, of Tennessee, 1871; Grimes, of lowa, 1871; Hen- derson, of Missouri, 1869; Ross, of Kansas, 1871; Trumbull, of Ilinois, 1873; Van Winkle, of West Virginia, 1869. Several of the republican papers have not yet learped how to spell the name of their candidate for President, substituting an éfor an e in “Ulysses.” It is about the same thing, however, in Scripture, which allows the substitution in certain cases of an eye for an e’e, as the Scotch would have it. The Detroit Free Press (prejudiced democrat) says “the action of the Chicago Convention retires Gov- ernor Fenton, of New York, to the banks of the Cono- wango. His name will pass into history and he into the catfish business.”” The same journal supposes “that General Grant will, of course, accept the nomination tendered him at Chicago. And also, of course. we shall soon have his resignation of the office he now holds. There would be a most manifest impropriety in his remain- ing at the head of the army while running for the Presidency.” It was announced a few days ago that the Presi- dent had appointed among the visitors to West Point a Mr. Judd. The ex-Minister to Berlin, con- ceiving that there was no other Judd in America but himself, assumed he was the appointee, and sent the following despatch to the President: — A.

A limited number of advertivements In, ferted in the Warnuy Haran, TURKEY. Freedom ef Conscience—The Porte Govern- sclence—Count de Chambord’s Reception Books by an American Author. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 6, 1868. ‘The Cretan insurrection, which a year ago seemed almost to threaten the dismemberment of the Turk- ish empire, is now seldom alluded to here, and the discussion of the last news from that unquiet pro- vince has ceased to be a topic on the Galata Bourse, the effect of which is that Turkish consols have risen fifteen per cent since the return of the Grand Vizier. For a long time past hostilities have been confined to an occasional skirmish between the small bands of insurgents that still infest the mountain fastnesses and detachments of Turkish troops, yaried by an oc- casional descent of the former upon the flocks and herds where they find them unprotected in the val- leys—a species of warfare which no longer causes anxiety at the Porte. In the meantime the local authorities and tie military sta- tioned in the island are steadily progressing with their new roads and block houses, which system, if persevered in, will soon enable them to drive the last of the-insurgent# from his hiding place. The spring is now far advanced, and Russia, instead of entering the arena openly and defiantly with its long looked for aid to the champions of Crete, is ener- getically protesting the sincerity of its desire for peace and its firm resolution not to separate itself from the Western Cabinets in questions concerning the amelioration of the condition of Christians in the East. On the occasion of the reception of the Rus- sian Ambassador by the Sultan, on his return from his fruitless visit to St. Petersburg, General Ignatieff gave his Majesty the most cordial assurances of the amicable ana pacific disposition entertained towards him by the Czar, and presented him with six mag- nificent horses sent by the Emperor. ‘The Sultan, in his reply, expressed warmly his appreciation of the assurances of the good will of the Czar, and his ardent desire to cultivate the most friendly relations with the Court of St. Petersburg. ‘The public has not been informed that the Russian Ambassador took occasion to protest to the Sultan against the recent atrocities committed by the Turk- ish troops in Crete, so fully chronicled in some of the Boston newspapers, no mention having been made of these horrid acts either here or at St. Petersburg. The Russians having failed them, the Cretan com- mittee now ask Congress for recognition and aid to secure their complete emancipation and the inde- pendence of the island. The United States can only accomplish the latter by sending a fleet to Candia and declaring war against Turkey; and it is not pro- bable that Congress will ever comply with the de- mand for recognition, in view of the fact that Tur- key not only refused to recognize the South, but forbid Confederate cruisers to enter its ports, The Abyssinian news has taken every one by surprise, The Sultan immediately telegraphed his congratulations to Queen Victoria, both upon the successful result of the expedition against Theodorus as well as the fortunate escape from death of Prince Alfred. To his assembled Ministers his comments upon the history of the Abyssinian expedition were facetious but not flattering. He contrasted the rapidity of the British military operations in Abys- sinia with the tardy action of the Turkish forces in Crete. He told them if the English had the Cretan “Job” in hand, sooner than submit to the disgrace of a three years’ campaign against a handful of insur- gents they would bring out an army of “navvies,” armed Supple and shovels, who would dig up the whole island and throw it into the sea in less time than it had taken them (the Turks) to pacify it. Notwithstanding the Sultan has endorsed the views of his ministers in regard to the recent changes in the administrative machinery of the gov- ernment, it appears the new measures have not inspired his Majesty with confidence. This absence of unanimity and confidence between the sovereign and his ministers is productive of much mischief, and has nearly brought the affairs of State to a dead- lock, so that we are expecting radical changes in the general |e of reorganization before the ship of BI can be fairly started on a new voyage. The Sultan has already ventured upon an unbeaten track by removing the Sheik-ul-Islam, the chief of the Monometan religion, who was replaced by one of the Hadjas of the palace, a religious instructor whose ‘business it is to expound the Koran to his Majesty. ‘This new measure will tend to bring the church affairs more under the immediate control of the Sul- tan. The Sheik-ul-Islam was much esteemed and venerat Mussulmans for his learning and wort! hy and consistent conduct, and one impor- tant reason for his dismissal is said to be the desire of the Sultan to change the order of succession the throne, in imitaton of the Shah of Persia an Viceroy of Egypt, to the eldest son of the reizning instead of the eldest male member of the family, a3 the Koran prescribes. Such a radical deviation from the precepts of the Koran in relation to so important and well established a law as that which prope the succession to the Ottoman throne may | to we complications, and might even cause revolution and bloodshed, as the step would be bitterly opposed by all the bigoted and fanatical portion of the Mahometan population. ® ‘The Sultan has for a long time manifested very un- friendly feelings towards his nephew Murad Evendi, the heir apparent to the throne, who 1s now about twenty-five years of age, and this unfortunate prince has been made so unhappy that in a fit of despera- tion he made an attempt a short time since to escape to Europe incognito, He resides at his country house, near Kudikoi, on the Asiatic side of the Bos- phorus. His house is in the midst of an extensive garden, surrounded by high walls, and quite out of the way of the Suitan’s palaces or the usual residences of any of the ministers; but his move- ments are closely watched by persons appointed to attend upon him. During the past fortnight Pera has been overrun with archdukes and princes. The first party that arrived was composed of Charles Ferdinand, the uncle, and Renier and Ernt, cousins of the Austrian Emperor. These visits caused no end of trouble and some expense to the Sultan, who, in view of the magnificent reception given to himself during his stay at Vienna last vear and the cordial and friendly relations existing between Austria and the Porte, thought it necessary to spare no pains and expense m paying honor to the members of the family of his nnperial brother, The day after the arrival of the archdukes they were presented to the Sultan at his aiace, and the day following his Majesty went on orseback to the Austrian Embassy, accompa- nied by two of his ministers, to return the visit. He also gave them @ dinner, on which occasion, oe og | to established custom, he seated himself at table with his guests instead of Jeaying the Grand Vizier to preside at the entertain- ment. The party left on Sunda; last week, and on Friday the Archduke Victor, brother of the Em- ror, arrived; other members of the family are now in Paris. By some this sudden movement and dis- persal of the Hapsburgs is attributed to the disgust created by the matrimonial alliance of one of their members with an actress, whom they refuse to re- ceive at court. On the other hand it is safd that they absented themselves in order to avoid further discussion of the question of the Concordat, as the Emperor desired to delay any action upon it until after the continement of the Empress and baptism of the child. It is understood that the archdukes are, with the ministry, in favor of the abolition of the Concordat, and as the Emperor in yielding to the pressure is threatened with excommunication, he doubtless desires to delay the catastrophe to a more convenient season, During the stay of the Austrian Archdukes the Count de Chambord and his nephew, the Duke de Parma, also arrived. The latter is making an east- ern tour under the guidance of his uncie. The Count de Chambord. being the legitimist suc- cessor to the French throne, the Sultan, in view of the instability of human affairs, and of the reigning dynasty in France in particular, could not see the propriety of allowing the visit of a personage who may some fine morning be proclaimed King of France to pass unnoticed, The French emb: lor, however, declared, “I know not the man,” and in order not to risk giving offence to either fom | the Sultan sent privately to offer the Count sundry factli- ties for pursuing his travels and seeing the country, such as a steamer to be at his dis} | for making @ trip to Brussa, &c. Many French residents here of legitimate tendencies called upon the Count, due note of which having been taken, will exclude the offenders from the list of future invitations to the Embassy balls and dinners. Just now published the regulations reiative to the new imperial lycée, at Galata Serat, the object of which is to make public instruction in the empire rival to the best of similar establishments in Europe. From these documents it appears that the young men of every denomination wiil be admitted into this new school, and bound to observe the practices of their respective religions, It is @ very noteworthy fact that while that most {niquitous institutton, the established Church of England, is even yet enforced upon unfortunate Ireland; while the Russian despot. iam is, topiStully proscribing every sect alien from its so-called orthodoxy; while in Moldo: Wallachia, like in ancient Egypt, and during the worst days ot the middle age, the Jews are obnoxious to every kind of vexations, a complete religious toleration 18 practised in Turkey. Mr. Jolin P. Brown, Secretary of the United States Legation here, has just published two books, not only of interest to residents here, but also to readers in genera One is entitled “The Dervishes; or Oriental Spiritualism,” and the other “Ancient and Modern Constantinople.” Inthe former Mr. Brown shows that the peculiar dogmas of the Dervishes, differing in many respects from ordinary Islamism, are derived from the religion of India (Brahminism), and that also some of tenets of the Koran have the same origin. The chief principle of both Islamism and the Dervishes 1s the emanation of the soul of man from the Divine Spirit; that itis separated from the jatter by sinful passions and reunited by devout rayer and supplication. The pious services of the Bervisn sects are therefore designed to approach the human soul to its Great Originator, The subject is entirely a one; no other author than Mr. Brown hue thought of taking Ht ov. and it wil be found of {From the Paris Moniteur, May 15.)

Miss Mary Wells, who has filled the most respon- sible positions in Niblo’s for the last seven years, takes her leave of the theatre on Saturday next. She is a deserving artist and cannot fail to hold ner place in the affections of the public wherever she goes. The New Orleans French Opéra Bouffe Company, under the personal direction of the distinguished director, M. Alhaiza, from the New Orleans Opera House, now performing “Orphée’’ in Boston with im- mense success, have concluded arrangements with Mr. J.

Kelly and Leon’s Minstrels have another great bur- Jesque on hand, called “La! Bell—L. N.” Mr. win Kelly will make his fppeeranes as Paris, and a irrepressible Leon will personate the naughty jelen. On Monday, June 1, Madame Parepa-Rosa sails for California in the steamship Arizona, accompanied by Messrs. Carl Rosa, G. W. Colby and Brookhouse Bowler. A carefully selected company will follow in a few days. Auer played a short time ago in Dublin. Hear what the Saunders’ News Letier says about him:— “A truly great violinist is Herr Auer. He is, we be- lieve, a Jew. While he plays the physical accidents of fingering, bowing, &c., are lost to view, and one hears the spirit of the music disembodied." Richard Wagner's “Lohengrin” was en one evening during the recent visit of the Prince of Prus- sia at the Prince’s own request. The London Musical Worid says:—“‘A New York contemporary assures us, in a paragraph which equals in vagueness the first intimation of a ‘matri- monial alliance,’ that Ole Bull is asveloping @ musi- cal invention’ which, when developed, will revolu- tionize the manufacture of a certain popular instru- ment.”” : Signor Arditi’s concert at Drury lane theatre, Lon- don, on the 26th inst. promised to be one of the great features of the season. All the artists of her Majes- ty’s opera are engaged. Mile. Nilsson was to sing Ophella’s music in the fourth act of Thomas’ ““Ham- let,” which made such a sensation recently among the Parisians; Miss Kellogg a new valse written by Signor Arditi’ and called afjer her name; and the “whole strength of the company” were to join in the esveemed conductor’s ‘Turkish Hymn,” erst the reat feature of the Sultan’s /ée at the Crystal "alace.

Regnier and Lonis Lerey has been produced atthe Gyimnase with the title of “Le Chemin Retrouvé.”” Though a very me- diocre production it obtained what ts called a succes @estime. In story ‘it strongly recails “Le Roman @une Honnéte Femme,” as it follows the adventures of a wife who remains pure under the strongest temptations and with the Spe i of a faithless. and dissipated husband ever before her eyes. Four novelties, all successfal, now constitute the programme at the Bouffes Parisiens. The first, ‘Lee Coiffeuses de St. Catherine,” is an amusing vande- ville by M. Emile Abraham, well known for his contrt- butions to the comic journals of Paris. A second is. a piece of complete extravagance by MM. juet and Delbés, entitled ‘‘A Charenton, un fil a la Patti,’? by M. Frederic Vasselot, is a dainty piece of bour- geoise comedy; and ‘La Zouave est en bas” is what we may call a screaming farce, by MM. Ed. Lackroy and Paul Parfail. Mile. Nilsson’s fast performance in “Hamlet’’ was for the benefit of the Pension Fund of the Opera, for which 14,147f. was raised. The entire sum re- alized by the twenty-two representations of this opera which have been given is 252,588f. 50c., or a tle over £10,000.

Astley’s theatre, London, fell under the anctioneer’s hammer (Messrs. Driver & Co.) on Tuesday, the 19th inst.
