10 “THE DOG PIT MISSION. ‘Holiness in Kit Burn’s Shebang—Hotbed Piety in Water Street-—The Woman’s Mission— An Impromptu Dog Fight. ‘New York-Joha Allon after the wickedesi-man-t excitement tue religious enthusiasm which burned. so brightly in Water street for many months began to cool off, and Gnaliy that delectable neigaborhood was left in sole possession of the sable gentleman with the tail and hools, who makes it his especial business to gO about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may chaw up. Apparently the only result of the praiseworthy efforts of the evangelizer of Ajjen and Kit Burn was an increase of ousiness in the low groggeries and dens of the neighborhood. Blasphewy Was an easy change from a too fervid religion, and the backsliders became worse than before. There were a few wretches, however, it is said, upon good authority, who were snatched as braads from the burning in the first skirmish with Satan, and these were removed to feids and pastures new, where, under tie tn- fluence of pious people, they became taoroughly reformed. Catoulating the proft and loss of the Water street nilssion, 16 Was found that it had not been entirely uaproductive of good. Accordingly, as the H&KALD announced exclusively six weeks gince, Mr. W. H. Boole, of Williamsburg, published his intention to re-estabilsh the nuission and keep it going. He wasas good as his word, Arrangements were wade with Kit Burn, proprietor the building and boss of the liquor store adjoimmg, for the lease or the premises for three years, at $1,000 per annum. ‘Tne house 1s ‘wo stories high, built of wood, old and rickety.

Without acknow- edging that their former efforts to reciaim the Wailer street criminais were misdirecvea, they avowed their determimation to condact the coming campaign aguust neighboring sin after a methoul- cal plan, ‘The fallen Women are first to be prayed Tor, talked to, expostulaved with and finally fed and clothed, Whatever enect the former may have, there can be no doubt of the beneficial resuit of the latter Treatment, La soupe sau le soldat; and, on the saine principle, lair food will make good Christians of bungry men aod women. there will be litue of the monastic style about the mission, however; the failen women Who are tound sufficiently tractab! and willtug to embrace the offers of the Water sireet eva $ wilt have to suow their faith by thew works. \vith this view Kit burn s rat pit is be- ing turved into a laundry, where virtue, Washiug aud starching will be taught by compezent persons every day in the week, except Sunday, wen the womeit will be expected to uevote themselves ty religious music and pious conversation.

The objection to him arises from the fact that the Gover- nor declined to nominate a friend of John Morrissey, at the request of that gallant Trojan, presuming, I suppose, that Mr. McConthe was quite as good a man for the place as Mr, Murphy, who was backed by Morrissey. 1 bave failed to tind any one yet who cavils at the excellence of the Governor's appoint ments.

The programme last night consisted of “The Con- gecration of Sounds,” by Spohr; overture to “Sacuntela,” Goldmark, and the second Leonora overture, Beethoven, Miss Mehlig played the E fat Plano concerto of Beethoven aud Miss Kellogg sang the cavatina “Di piacer,” irom “Gazza Ladra,”? and the aria “Deh vient,” from ‘Nozze di Figaro.” ‘The symphony is the musical embodiment of a poem of Carl Pfeiffer and consists of four movements. On the back of the programme these were described as Jollows:—“Gloomy silence of nature before . the creation of sound; busy iife afterwards, sounds of nature, the elements, cradte song, dance, serenade; march to battle; feclings of those left behind; return of the victors; thanks to the God of battles; consolation amid tears and invocation of sounds. It will be seen trom this list what a good theme the composer had to work upon. ‘The treat Ment of the subject is grand in some instances and very weak in others, The finale of each movement is particularfy inenlective and unsatisfactory. ‘The march—which, by the way, has been cleverly tran- scribed forthe piano by Richard Hoffman—is bril- hhant and inspiring; but an unfortunate coda, with aorupt Huish, mars it considerably, ‘The last move- ment, tn which the ’cellt breathe forth a tender, plaintive theme in unison while the other strings accompany pizzicato, is inexpressibly beautiful. The overtures, “Sacuntala,” played for the first time in America, appeared to us to be founded on some heroic subject; perhaps one of those medieval legends or tales of chivalry with whicn Germany 18 so fruitful. It opens with a chorale in full, rich harmony, of which a noticeabie feature is the skilrul and constant changes of instrumental combina- Uons on the same theme. It breaks off then into @ quaint barbaric march, in which there are singu- lar groupings of instruments and “singular counter. int, but always pleasing and always rich aod ‘ull, A beautiful little oboe solo floats on a heav- ing bdillow of harmony, beneath which the deep, tied voices of the trombones speak in ejaculatory form, and then a waif of Mendelssohn in the rustic of fairy wings from the wind Instraments, the march again, and a stormy battle passage, followed by a plaimt of the strings, with the monotone of the basses as a sort of marche funeire, and then & triumphant march theme, with ail the strength and fulness of the orchestra. A commonplace coda 1s here attached to the orchestra which it would be weil to have omitted. Miss Mebiig’s performance of the concerto waa de- Serving of the highest praise for the rare delicacy in conception and complete finish in execution. ‘The light and shade which she threw on the charming passage of this true poem, and the feeling and ex- ression visible in every measure as it dropped from er fingers gave evidence of not only the highly cultivated artist, but the wonderiuliy endowed chitd of nature. We remarked in Miss Mehlig’s rendering of Beethoven @ complete repose of wrist and arm exactly sulted to such music, but seldom or never thought of by our pianists. Ritter 1s par- ucularly happy in this style of finished, aciicate, and what we might call “quiet” playing. There was no attempt at convincing the audience that she could sweep the keyboard with Liszt a3 well a3 Beethover power; but she played the concerto in a style which we have never beiore heard equalled at auy of the Philharmonic concerts, Miss Kellogg was in good voice, and the two selections Ir Rossint and Mozart suited her exactly. The cavating is rather light for a classical con- but the air from the Marriage of Figuro, with its beautiful accompaniment of oboe, tagatto and Nate was delicious, In answer to an elcore sue sang an exquisite litte French chanson, accom- panted by Carl Bergmann on the piano. ‘The oboe and bassoon were rather out of hujnor last night, and In uwo or three instances they marred the en- semble, The house was crowded from parquet to dome, ag usual, und the andience seemed to bean appreciative one also.

Many of our citizens who are desirous of witness- ing Mr. Fechter’s impersonation of Hamlet will shortly have an opportunity of so doing.

Musical Utterances, Affatrs and Doings in Eng- Innd=The National Taste and Patronage— “Concert Parties? and Touring Through the Country—Pen and Ink Portraits of the Mod. ern Celebrities—Press Criticisms—The Piano Trade. Lonpon, Jan. 22, 1870, It ts a fact that the English have been called a na- tion of shopkeepers, but has any one ever said they were a musical nation? ‘Their own idea on the sub- ject leaves no room for doubt, and, certaimly, to judge by the amount of music performed in the shape of operas, concerts, oratorios, ballad and gice concerts, and @ host of other musical entertain ments, they should love music dearly, But this isa delusion, which I hope to prove by facts, Itis my intention to give a summary of musical matters in general, and, at the same time, to de- scribe the gEngiish” way of touring through the country wilh concert parties. I shail also intro- duce a slight portraiture of Tietjens, Nilsson, Reeves and many other celebrities, Concerts are generally given on @& greut scale in London. There are often as many as forty vocalists aasisting, and these concerts generally iast five or six hours. No person of musical taste can sit outa performance of this description, but with the Eng- lish public it 18 simply fasbion, nothing else. At the present moment it 1s considered bon ton to patron- ize classic music, and we see fashtonabie ladies dozing away under the soothing influence of Beet- hoven and Bach at the Monday popular concerts, How could they be induced to absent themse!ves from. these periodical reunions? ‘Voblesse oblige” never held more potent sway than does the fear of losing caste over the minds of many of tne fréquent- ers of these gatherings. A taste for such music isa cultivated taste, just as the taste for cating olives or J drinking claret is cultivated. 1t 1s a description of music which makes but little appeal to the emo- ons except through the medium of the intellect. it partakes more of tie artis- uc than the natural; it 48 the result moore of cultivated thought than spontaneous feeling. It isnot, I think, unfair to say that ciassi- cai music 1s not so popular af operatic music. Tne taste of the general public vas not been culitvated up to such a lofty intellectualism. 1 do not say a word against classic music. In this country ts would be regarded as rank heresy to breatue a syl- lable in disparagement of many of the choicest gems of the greatest musicians. ‘To tind fault witn that muste would oe to find tault with Handel, Mozart, Beethoven and Gluck and a host of geniuses. What 1 seek to know ts why classical music, which is eaid to be the hignest phase of music, should be regarded ye the majority of people with an average musical lucation as less interesting than the compositions of Verdt, Balfe, Wallace or Gounod. There must oe @ reason for tnis. Itis either that the muititude ts caught by the garishness Of music composed with the one idea of effect, or that Classical music in itself has little that is sympathetic tn its nature. The public in England 1s greatly infuenced by the press—critiques are eagerly read by which opinions are formed: for of course no one ever doubts the in- fallibullty of the London Times on musica! matters. The Zelegraph echoes the Times, and the Pull Malt Gazette and Saturday Review have the same editor for the subject. Therefore it 1s evident that one opinion only ts promal by the leading jour- ® slang term on the turf, viz, “the moe any Tr be be singer, planist or violii out of this charmed circle, 1s ignored at once. No matter what bis talents or merits, ends Dente. ink alan ars 3 conserve! ve in ends, Peo} in Englani muale as TF politics. eit love dearly to hear their favorite singers, even when they have lost their voices, and delight im listening to music their gees grand{atners pelore chem have been pleased with, For exemple. take the “‘Messian.”” Whenever that great work Is performed, no matter how bad or good the singers, how smali or large the band, chorus or no chorus, the word ‘“Messian” will insure a crammed house, ‘This 1¢ easily accounted for, The _— know very little of music, and they require to ear a plece or a singer many times before they can appreciate either the one or the other; hence this re- sult and the consequent reluctance lo accept change. J may as well touch on the subject of piano play- ing and plano making. ‘tne leading pianists aro those identical ones who were heard twenty years ago. ‘They play the same music and use the same planos, Madame Goddard still plays Thalberg’s “Home, Sweet Home,” having perforined it at con- certs and op tours ever since {t was composed. Hallé ig still at Beethoven's sonatas, and poor deaf old Madame Schuman 1s just out as a “new? pianist. ‘Ihe public are satisied. Compared with American pianists and those who have visited the United States, such as Gottschalk, Wehle and lio(fuan they would have but litte chance. Engiish pianos will bear no comparison with our beautiful American insiruments, No taprovement is permitted in Luyland, and if an enterprising firm tries to bring forward something new they are put down with ap iron hand, Really Broadwood’s con- cert grands, for which he received a gold medal 14 Paris, sound as periect tla ketties side by siae with a Chickering or Steinway.

In England it would requise sixty years or more, as all these firms have pretty nearly that time in existence, People have tried reform in tue- atres, concerts and musical matiers in general, but all their eiforts were fruitless and they generaily fall back into the old track. ple give an opinion, or tis amusing to hear rather avoid au opinion, Suppose an American went to a concert In London and leard Nilsson.

OBITUARY, Rev. Joseph Higgens Plunkett. We learn by telegraph of the demise of the Rev. Joseph Higgens Plunkett, at St. Vincent de Paul's Hospital, Norfolk, Va. Father Plunkett was born in the county Roscommon, Ireiand, and was at the tume of his death about fifty years of age. He came to America while quive @ young man, and was or- dained in Baltimore in 1845, and was immediately afterwards appoluted to the pastorship of Martins- burg, in the diocese of Kichiond. Here he ja- vored with that ability, emergy and zeal wich were characteristics of his nature, and won for himself @ most enviable reputation. In 1856 he left Martins- burg and repaired to Portsmouth, Va., over whica parish he presided up to wituin a few weeks of nis death, which resuited front general debility that en- sued from an atiack of typhoul fever. He was a man of fine personal appearance, and possessed a high order of cioquence. In every sense of the word Father Piungett, as he was widely known among ail denomiuations, Was a true-hearted, hos- pitabie genticinan, and the announcement of his death wili be receaveu with the deepest regret, THE RAILROAD BLOCKADE IN JERS:Y, © The Case of Peter Weiler vs. the Newark aud Paterson Ruilroad—The Injunction Still in Force and Travel Suspended. ‘The tujunction granted by Chancellor Zabriskie on the application of Mr. Peter Weller, of Belleville, N.

It appears that m addition to the claims of Mr. Weller for $4,500 there are executions agatust the company in the hands of the Sherif of Essex county granted to various parties for various sums. It was only the day before yesterday that otber suits were instituted by various parties for at least $5,000 in the Essex county courts, and it is stated on proper guthority that tne company, if not insolvent, is very nearly so, There ts a mortgage on the, road, held in trust by W, ©.
