The European correspondence by mail which We publish this morning makes mentiou of the failing health of Queen Victoria, A London medical journal of the 22d of January states that “the Queen has been suffering repeatedly during the last few months from neuralgia, affecting different parts of the body, and severe ®nough to seriously interfere with her rest, Her Majesty has just recovered from a recur- fence of the neuralgia attacking the face se- verely. The attacks have been attributable to disturbance of the nervous system due to ex- Posure, worry or excitement.” As in very many instances of medical diagnosis, the Eng- lish authority, which is professional, permits a very wide scope for lay inference as to the exciting cause or causes of the malady or dis- eases which afflict her Majesty. ‘‘Exposure”— whatever that means in the case of a crowned ead not given to serve in the tented field— ‘worry, excitement and disturbance of the ervous system,” all coming at one time, are wrtainly quite sufficient to render any one— soldier of the Horse Guards, not to speak a delicate lady—sick, so that the bulletin 3d not cause surprise, if the facts are cor- tly stated. ‘he truth is the good Queen Victoria begins eel the effects of time, at the age of fifty- land after a remarkable and geatle reign Ohirty-three years, The mortality of hu- May asserts itself on the throne as in the ho\ and the inevitable consequence remains thahe pal!ida mors pulsat equa pede at the dooof all sorts of mansions, although court phyians have been always slow to acknow- ledgi, We regret to read the words ‘“‘worry and sitement,” her Majesty of Great Britain havitever evinced a desire, as a ruler and ® Wom, to soothe both among her people and ithe circles of her more immediate friend: The Philharmonic Society. We says thought—eyen when this ety, afew yrs since, was at the lowest depths of dospaind impecuniosity—that it needed only ® live \n at its head and o proper start on sound kiness principles to make it as thorougl, pecuniary as it has always been an artistic ccess. The man and the opportu- nity camn the person of Dr. R. O. Doremus, who wasected president of the society, and in the esrgement of the orchestra and the change oplace for the grand concerts. The results th season have exceeded the most Sanguine tpectations and are a matter of astonishmé¢ and delight to even the orchestra. Crowded mses have been the rule without a" single excition, and the character and ear- nest attenti of the audience are something which one'ails to meet with at any other entertainmé, Last Friday at the rehearsal the Academ of Music contained probably one thousand mre people than ever were known to be assebled within its walls before, and the’ concet last night was a perfect jam. Ladies anl gentlemen might be seen there that nothig could induce to visit any other public entrtainment; and on each face there was a look f unalloyed enjoyment snd keen artistic apprciation. Miss Kellogg and Miss Meblig weréstars in the solo line whom it Would be peraps impossible to surpass in this country, and te noble orchestra of a hundred inswuments cn brook no peer in the world, We wre glad tat there is at last a public taste for mwic awalened in this city, and that the labors of the Philharmonic Society have not been wihout tuit. Let us hope that its great festval inhonor of the centenary of the King of Nusic, Beethoven, may be a grand success in wery sense of the word. It will take place next immmer; and from the gene- ral programmt \lready in contemplation we have no doubt tiat it will surpass the Boston Jubilee. The tciety has been and is the guardian of muic in the metropolis, and to it must we look for everything good in the divine art.

This is the conditionof the republic at present, but the future is stillmore gloomy. NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1870.—TRIPLE SHERT, Pestal Telegraphs in Great Sritala=Na- tlenal Commanication by Electricity. ‘Thenew system of postal telegraphs has been in operation all over Great Britain since the 2d day of the present month, when the government of the country took possession of the various lines of wire after a purchase completed by virtue of an act of Parliament. England is also reporting the heavy portion of her marine news by electricity; so that the arrivals of the vessels of her huge fleets of East Indian, Aus- tralian and Mediterranean traders are made known in London and Liverpool when the vessel is off coast and the insurance accounts settled ‘“‘all right” before the ships are com- pletely docked. Interested parties, exclusive corporations, with the active members of that self-sufficient class which is known as ‘old fogies,” affect to despise the revolution which has thus taken place and are making efforts to distort the bearing of its results. Acable telegram, dated in London yester- day, pretends to describe “‘the scenes which are occurring at the telegraph offices through- out England.” There is ‘universal dissatis- faction,” and “complaints of delay and error,” and in the city “crowds of people sur- round the offices, and there is the utmost confusion.” It will be seen at once that ‘this despatch has been forwarded to New York in the interest of a gigantic telegraphic monopoly which exists on. this side of the ocean, known as the Western Union Telegraph Company. Greed is, however, fortunately, for the most part blind, and joint stock delusions of a very flimsy, gauzy character. Of course there is ‘‘confusin” around the offices. Every grand revolution in the march of liberation of the human mind, from the days of Martin Luther to that of the declaration of American independence, has been attended with ‘‘confusion’—a joyous “confusion"—resulting from the first moments of enjoyment of emancipation, The writer of the “‘old fogy” despatch did not perceive that he waa himself furnishing the best evidence of how completely, immediately and universally the English people availed themselves of the boon of the postal telegraph system by crowd- ing such an amount of business on the newly appointed employés within three days. The mind of the old nation is being etherialized already; but the few who attempt to carry a mind in their breeches pockets grovel beneath the influence even of electricity. Muste and Musical Affairs in England. The special correspondence from London on this attractive and refining theme, which appears in our columns this morning, will command « widespread attention. There is music to some extent in every soul, and it may be said that Orpheus can attract a more harmoniously united congregation of enthu- siastic devotees to his altar than can any single one of the sects of religion which wars with the others under the Christian dispen- sation. It will be seen that our friend John Bull has had almost all bis music taken out of him. John was never at any time, it must be confessed, very particular as to the musical strains, instrumental or vocal, to which he listened. The roll of the big drum, the sound of the trombone, the harsh call of the trum- pet and the tinkle of the tiny triangle took him away to North America, to India, to Australasia, to Africa, and also down into the Redan; so that his ear has become blunted and his senses dulled to a very considerable extent in the matter of sweet sound and har- mony. Hence his routine neglect of the modern apostleship of the grand art as pointed out in our columns. An Irish poet says that music ‘loves the open, generous soul; the brave, the bold, the free,” and that “for the cringing, crouching slave it bas no melody.” The idea is elegant, the theory correct, Hence we find that music has com- menced to renovate her voice under the free and bracing air of the y Continent, Wad fhet, the trade ij myaioal instruments, pianos particularly, is fast following her to New York. Drees Fashions Reported from Paris. Our special fashions writer in Paris reports the various styles of dress costume which prevailed and were being matured in the French capital on the 21st of January. The exhibit is lively, diversified and encouraging in its actualities, besides being attractive and highly interesting in its anticipations as to the material, colors and ‘‘make up” of the coming costumes—‘“‘garments of much mystical sub- limity,” as will be learned by a perusal of the letter. We are told of bals masgués at the opera, and the first state and ministerial recep- tions of the season; what the ladies had on and what they intended to wear. There were Venetian cloaks, Turkish and Ezyptian cos- tumes, “black dominoes,” diamonds, princes and princessee—real and ‘‘make believe”—so that everybody was delighted. Brilliant and elegant toilets prevailed at the court, in the theatres, the drawing room and around the domestic hearth, and all promised to be “merry as a marriage bell,” notwithstanding Rochefort, Pierre Bonaparte, Traupmann and the free traders; the men who agitate, the men who count the cost and the people who disregard consequences. Tax New Cuveca of Morwox.—Our Salt Lake letter of January 25 states that the Mor- mon schismatics have formed @ temporary church organization, called “The Church of Zion,” which, in its constitution, is a little more liberal than Brigham Young’s, although it contains many of the most objectionable points of the old organization. Polygamy is neither advocated nor condemned, but the principle of tithing is continued. Joe Smith, the eon of the ancient founder of Mormonism, who is opposed to polygamy, is expected to become the leader of the new movement, The schism appears to be complete and powerful, and, considering the encroachments of railroads and Congress, it is evident that the latter days of the Latter Day Saints have come, Tue War oF THE TELEGRAPHS.—A com- munication from Mr, D. H. Craig, elsewhere in our columns this morning, exposes another unfair scheme of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Not content with monopolizing as far as possible the telegraph system through- out the country and under the seas, they are trying to write down improvements in the art of telegraphy.

Rome, Feb. 5, 1870, The Civilta Cattolica, published here, has a ree markable article entitled “Les Mauvais Politiques et le Conctle.” After referring to tne menacea against the Ecumenical Councll’s establishing decrees contrary to modern ideas, it says the bishops despise menaces. If governments make laws at variance with the decree of the Council the subjects will not be held to observe them, and to exact obe- ience to such laws would be odious tyranny. If governments separate Church from State they must expect terrible revolutions to overthrow them.

ENGLAND. “Mother Harris” on American Legislation Work for Parliament—University Reform— American Securities. Lonpon, Feb. 5, 1870. The London 7imes of this morning hasan edi- torial article on American legislators and legis: lation, wherein it comments on the compo- sition and peculiarities of the houses of the United States Congress. The writer attributes the faults in American legislation to the utter absence of ability in the House of Representatives, @ natural sequence to the popular elections. The Senate, however, is better, the 7imes thinks, be- cause its members are otherwise ehosen. Manufacturers here are preparing to take advan- tage of the expiration in Marcn next of several steel patents.

THE TWELVE TEMPTATIONS. Grand Reception by the Prince of Erle at the Grand Opera House. The “Twelve Temptations” Partly Re- hearsed and a Brilliant Assombly Wholly Pleased—Spirits On and Off the Stage— Transformation Scenes Extraordl- nary—Jim Jubilee in Particular and a Jolly Jubilee in General. In the course of human events many things often happen, such as dynasties being overturned, mon- archs dethroned and repubucs established; but such ‘reception as that given iast evening by the Prince of Ere, at his princely palace, the Grand Opera House, ts without precedent in the historical annals thas make centuries notable and men’s lives sublime and deeds heroic. By the extent of his invitations to his reception and py his splendid entertainment and princely hospitality the Prince of Erte showed himself worthy his title—a prince to the manner born, But we will describe the reception 1 the order of tg transcendentally glowing events. FIRSTLY IN ORDER, After months of general and desultory preparation and one week of particular and exclusive prepara- tion, preliminary to presenting at the Grand Opera ffouse the ‘Twelve Temptations,” which has been so long im process of announcement and so long im process of excited expectation by the public, i was determined to give & sort Of semi-dress rehearsal of the piece last evening. Circulars of invitation—the only open: sesaine on this occasion—were liberally sent or shown by the large number present, Those circu- lars promised a full rehearsal; but on arrival printed notices were scattered about announcing that “to avold any imfringement on the Sabbath only a few of the scenes would be introduced.’ OF course aii fully appreciated this regard for the Christian Sabbath, and on the principie that tt wonld not do to look a gift horse im the mouth, acquiesced without grambitng. THOSE PRESENT. We have said that there was a large attend- ance. ‘This does not express it ail, Such select, reined and fashionable assemblage is rarely gathered together in this city., Con- gressmen and ex-Congressmen, Governors and ex- Governors, Mafors afid ex-Mayors, Judges and ex- Judges, millionnaire merchants, men eminent in the learned professtons, artists, art critics, and jast, but not least, geutiemen of the newspaper profession, who were especially largely represented. Private boxes, parquet and dreaa clreve shone resplendent with the bewitch- ing smiles of the loveliest ladies of New York. Alto- gether there has never been gathered iogether a luore discriminating 8nd inteliigent assembiage on auy similar occasion tn tals city. PRINCE OF ERIK HIMSELF. Foremostly conspicuous was the Prince of Eric himself, Clad in his biue coat and brass buttons, and with bis mammoth alamond pin Mashing ail the prismatic hues from his shirt «bosom, he stood pow at the gateway to welcome the coming guests, and now he would be seen talking with other prominent railway officials each Wearing diminutive cart wheel briliiants, apd now, at this point and that Wheres among the audience inside the theatre, and now surrounded by a@ cotorie of particular personal friends in his Private vox—that box where 60 oiten his capaciously rotund form has been seen by the large and discriminating patrons of this oe and highly favored temple of Thespis. His looting the bills aggregating, it is sald, nearly as much ag it would require to get a railroad bill through the State Legislature, from which their magnitude May be imagined, made it emmently pro- per that he would occasionally be by the fuotiights, aud really natural, hough at the same time partly problematical his being in a box. His looks, how- ever, if tere be anything in looks, the sparkling mirthfulness giowing in his ordinarily semi- sommolent eyes, the sunshine of hope ilumining every lineament of his broadly capacious face, and the defiant determination to dare and to do anything, like Ajax defying the lightning, revealing itseif is every Word and movement, all evinced that he feit especially happy im the present and confident in the future. Regarding the Twelve Temptations and the anticipations built upon it, one could read upon that massive brow, as if written in letters of living fire, that memorable line of that old Latin poet Quin- tus Horatius Flaccus— Exegi monumentum aere perrennus.

BEFORE AND BEUIND THE SCENES. The hour announced for the rehearsal to begin was eight o'clock, By this hour the house was filed. A quarter of an hour passed and hal/ an bour, ana yet the yreen curtain was not raised, The audience, however, was & marvel of patience. But behind that opaque drapery of display evidently tuere were Strange and neveral noises Of warning, shrieking, howiing, glugling chains, And now diversity of sound. it was, in fact, ® conglomeration of sounds, in- conceivable. Tiere were vocal utterances, coi- mands and imprecations and movements of heavy objects and shuiMing of feet and hissing of steam. ‘The orchestra at length, as a modifying agent, played some music, They stopped playing, still the same sounds, still that garkliug green curtain hung pen- gant from the ceiling to the stage as of one of the great fixed tacts of nature. Again the baud played, and piayea weil ‘Sweet airs that give delight.

On either stile the slage were revolving cylinders of glass, each en- easing @ semi-appureiled lady of bewitchingly beautiful face and figure, Oriental plants of ali the brilliant liues of the rainbow and flowers the seem- lug product of fairy land bloomed in beauty everywhere. Gauzy curtains, fabricated of glass, began to rise, and then coming up from the nether depths of the stage rose two spheres of glass, sparkling with lustrous hues, on the top of each @ young lady, likewise adorned in very little of femimine apparel. Underneath each were three young ladies, respective trios, like Atias bearing the giobes above them, After these, further back, rising to view, was an inde- scribable 1abric of glass, with three compartments, one avove the other, the first containing tree ladies in white short-skirted garments, the second six young ladies in green garments of like curtailed proporuons, and the third adozen young ladies in abbreviated pink costumes. It was a beautiful sight, the poet's ¢ouception of fairy land, the perfection of spectacular perfection, We have not halt de- scribed it, neither can we. ‘The only thing sug. gestive of its being “of the earth earthy” was some of the mechanical parts that should have been out of sight being visible, a defect, however, that In future representations will doubtless be remedied.
