A Now Era in Music—Carlotta Patti. We are about entering upon a new era of music, and one that is much to be desired after the vapidness which has for so longa time characterized that branch of public entertain- ment, We have been treated for the last four or five years toa kind of olla podrida in the divine art, until we have become weary of opéra bouffe, which, at the best, with all Offen- bach’s musical jingle and Grau's sagacious Management, and, later still, the whole of the young Fisk's treasury at its back, was little more than a French negro minstrel perform- ance, Opéra bouffe hurt every one that had e@nything to do with it, except the public, and they hardly escaped unscathed, in the matter ofa very serious demoralization of taste. We are now, however, likely to’ see an epoch in musical entertainments restored which will probably bring us back to that inaugurated by Jonny Lind in 1852, Carlotta Patti is about to appear in a series of concerts. Patti is said to possess a voice superior to Lind, and, asa concert singer, is reported to have no supe- rior. We know that before she left this coun- try for Europe she was an excellent singer. She comes back to. this country with a method and a voice greatly improved, with a confidence in her merits sustained by a repu- tation which is not excelled in Europe by any Concert singer who has charmed the courts and capitals of the Old World by the genius which seems to be the inheritance of her family, and a beauty of person which is pecu- liarly her own; for Mile. Patti is not only an exquisite artiste, sho isa beantiful woman—a most excellent creation to look upon as well as to listen to. According to the programme we are to have healthy revival of classical music in the Patti concerts. We need not say how re- freshing this will be after the wretched at- tempts at Italian opera doled out by broken- down singers in the unfortunate Catacombs, where, by an unhappy combination of poor artists, bad management and grasping stock- holders, Italian opera went down never per- chance to rise again. Dramatic art has had a severe struggle for life in this community for the past few years. It was sorely assaulted by leg performances at Niblo’s and other theatres for hundreds of nights, Entertainments a good deal more ex- elting than instructive, and, in fact, which might be styled an offence to refined taste and @ case of assault and battery upon dramatic art itself. Then we had furious muscular efforts on the trapeze, which people enjoyed in the morbid expectation that the performers— men, women and children, for all of them are in the business—would kill themselves, and thus give the full value for the price of the ticket; but we are happy to say that the audiences were generally disappointed. Again, the legitimate drama had to stand the shock of Japanese jugglers, the attacks of parti-colored harlequins, loose-breeched pantaloons, nimble @lowns and smirking Columbines, who flourish in the attractive pantomime. We have had a deluge of these things—this frippery of stage scenery, illusions and legs—but now there is @ likelihood that we shall have a new depar- ture in the advent of Carlotta Patti. The de- moralizing condition of affairs on our stage looks as though it were about to vanish into the outer darkness where Satan is supposed to Gwell, to be replaced by a brighter epoch in our experience of music and the drama, The King of Greece the Israclites. The mail details of the news from Europe, published in our columns yesterday, informed our readers that the King of Greece had just complimented his subjects of the Jewish faith by attending the-synagogue in Corfu during Prayer, and that the ark was opened as he took his seat on a throne, and the rabbi called on Heaven to rain blessings on the heads of the King and his son. This was a really liberal condescension on the part of King George, an act in strict accord- ance with the spirit of the age and significant of the near completion of an era of perfect freedom of conscience by the universal dises- tablishment of State churches, The King could not have performed it towards a more thrifty, useful or deserving class of his people. A Dane by birth, and a communicant of the Greek Church by baptism and adoption, his Majesty took a very prominent yet excel- lent occasion to show forth his freedom from sectarian prejudices, as well as his entire belief in the rights of universal nationalism, in accordance with the intention of the cosmo- politan guarantees—by England, France and Russia—on which his throne reste. King George is young in years and may have been willing to learn more of the glories and power and grandeur of the ancient thrones; of those of David, of Solomon and the rest, taking at the same moment, it may be, useful lesson as to the instability of human power by a glance at the living evidences of the effects of the handwriting on the wall—the ‘ene, mene, teke eupharsin, as witnessed by and interpreted to Belshazzar, even in a moment of supreme enjoyment. The Greek treasury is not in # very flourish- ing condition just at present; so perhaps the King may have had in view also during these moments of happy intorcommunion the ides of impressing his Israelite friends with a convic- tion of the utility of that happy system of finance which is Inid down in the Bible in the words ‘‘Who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord,” and even of persuading some among them to test the solvency of the security. It ‘was a grand and impressive and encouraging occasion, however, and will no doubt bear its fruks.

Prim and Napoleon in Consultation on the Cuban Question—The Emperor’s Advice to Sell to the Americaus—His Experiences from Mexico—eneral Sickles Makes a New Offer—Spain In a Blaze of Excitement. Paris, Sept.7—Evening. General Prim’s eecond and latest audience with his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon tne Third was of an hour’s duration, the subject matter of the con- versation affording cause for 8 very considerable amount of anxious outside speculation. It has been pretty accurately ascertained to-day that the situation in Cuba, the revolution and the chances of its repression, as weil a3 the probabie future of the island as regards its form of government and the right of rule, were discussed. The Emperor of France advised, it is said, an amicable arrangement between the Spanish authort- ties and the Cabinet in Washington on the matter of the American desire for acquisition of the terri- tory by purchase, adding towards the close of his remarks hts opinion, to the effect that if the war con- tinued, with its present attendant barbarities, Presi- dent Grant would be compelled to interfere between the contending parties, if only in behalf and for the cause of humanity. General Prim replied that he was himselt per- sonally willing to negotiate with the American authorities in the direction indicated by tne ruter of France, but that Spain—his fellow countrymen at large—remained opposed to such a course, Napoleon in reply advised Prim and the Spaniards to imitate in this case his own example, and give up Cuba, just as he had given up Mexico, before it was too late to do so with honor. General Sickles has proposed a new plan of com- promise on the Cuban subject. Spain is in an intense state of excitement—blazing and botling over, it may be said—on account of the news from Ouba, the reports from Washington and Paris, and the adherenee of Minister Sickles in Madrid to the policy of sell or perhaps lose.

Lonpon, Sept, 17, 1869. The London Stas (radical organ) to-day atates that the diMculty between the United States and Spain on the Quban question isin & fair way of setile- ment. The rumor of a proclamation guaranteeing religious liberty and freedom of election shortiy to be tasued by the Spanish government is a better omen; but if the reports of the conduct of the mill- tary government in Cuba are true, the concessions must be prefaced by one more essential, namely, that the Cubans be permitted to live to enjoy them. Position of the United States Towards Cuba. Lonpon, Sept. 17, 1869. The London Zelegraph has an editorial to-day on the relations existing between Spain and the United States, wherein it says:—The recognition of the Cubans would place Washington in the wrong on the Alabama question. With what consistency cen rights be granted wandering guerillas not formid- ableenough fora blockade? If England desired to Dut the accusers of her policy out of court she ghoutd encourage the policy ascribed to President Grant. We prefer to take the question on the broad grounds of common intereste. War between Spain and America would be ao material injury that would be equally apportioned, The ship- ving of the latter would be & prey to privateers, and her commerce, with the profits, Would paas to neutrals, The reduction of the national debt would be arrested, internal reorgan- ization checked, and public discontent would revive with the growing burdens, Spain would lose Cuba, but continue Spain, With her obstinate tenacity of resistance, her great undeveloped re- sources, her power to attack American trade, and her comparative invulnerability to retaliation, America would gain at a heavy cost what might for years be more a logs than a gain; would be entangled in @ war combining a maximum cost and a minimum glory. Such considerations cannot pass unregarded at Washington, since there is still ground for the hope that peace may be preserved. The London Examiner on the subject of Spain and Cuba, has the following:—By thé history and analogy there is no longer a physical impediment to the representation of Cuba in the Spanish Cortes, Ex- pediency recommends it, but for Cuba. Is it not too late? Ifnot sold or surrendered her own inhabi- tants must in some form be mortgaged to the Americans, with the certainty that once in pawa, she willeventually become theirs. It is better for Cuba that this should be go, and It is better, perhaps, for Spain, Prince Gortechakofs Arrival—Lady Palmer. ston’s Funeral. Lonpon, Sept. 17, 1869.
