In the House of Commons to-day the attendance in the galleries was unexpetedly thin, though it was \nown the Irish Land bill was the special order. The topic seems to lose interest. Mr. Gladstone opened the debate by stating that measures for the protection of lite and property in Iretand would follow the Land bill, and be ten moved tts second reading. Mr, Bryan, member for Kilkenny, in moving that the second reading of the bill take place six months hence, expressed regret at the inadequacy of the measure, and in this connec- tion mentioned that a iéase tenure of vhirty years was insufficient for the emergency. Dis- treas for rent must, he said, be abolished, and the ‘tenants mast hire directly from tne owner. These changes in the bill he considered indispensable to Ireland. Mr. Wuirs, member for Tipperary, while applaua- ing the motives which governed the Ministers ana the genera! outline of the bill, seconded the motion of Mr. Bryan. Sir H. H. Bruce, member for Coleraine, insisted upon material alterations in the bill. Mr. Bagwell, member for Clonmel, noped every thing from the amendments to be made in com- mittee. Mr, Heygate, member for Londonderry, spoke in Opposition to the bill, and demanded of the govern- ment @ repressive instead of a conciliatory policy on the Irish question. The debate was monopolized by the Irish mem- bers, . Mr. Fortescue, Chief Secretary for Ireland, spok in defence of tne bill, as the simplest and most com- plete remedy yet prescribed for the ilis of Ireland, for it would greatly entarge the proprietary interest among the agricultural classes. Mr. Ball, member for Dublin University, said tne bill perpetuated vicious systems which violated the principles of political economy. The idea of com- pensation was sound, but the rate was too high. Bargains binding posterity to unalteratable condi- tions were bad. Ireland’s only want was institu- tions as beneficial as those of England. . ‘The House adjourned. Postal Telographs and the Press.

In Rosaint’s music Muss Perl's execution of the florid passages—in which an Itallan voice seems to revel like uneven apd lacking in and apontanelty, Ske succeeded vet- ter with Meyerbecr’s beautiful air, although the no- rfect vocalization of her schoo! was in ne harsh pronunciation of the German. dMiss Mehlig played Schumann's ‘‘Fantasiestuck,” ap an- wntereating aad ungrateful plece, but a severe test for any Mendeissohn’s prelude and fugue in E minor—a delightful work, aboundig in enormous dificuities which she triumphantiy surmounted; Liset's transcription of the — ‘Spinnerited,”’ from Waguer’s opera, “The F Dutch. man”— fragmentary sort of work, wreathed in little passages of rare beauty—and ‘‘Hexa- meron,” 8 ‘and duet for two pianos, by Liszt, iu which she was assisted by Mr. S. B. Mills. This was the feature of the and one of the most remarksbie works probabiy ever com- posed for the piano. The prinelpal theme running through the work is from ‘‘Puritant,” aud the varia- Yona in it are marvellous. Liszt wrote it first as a solo, having written to Thalberg, Hers and others for variations. He then rewrote It for Miss Mehlig, and played it with her for the first time. She holds the manuscript copy of the work. We have rarely heard any piano piece produce such aa elfect a8 it did on the audience last night, Mills played at's part, and the two pianos seemed to be under the influence of one master mind. There was not a reeptible shade of difference even in the wonder- ‘ul cadenzas, which were in Liszt’s grandest style. The counterpoint, especially when the theme and the accompanying chords were given tu the bass, is full, strong and ever-varying. The modulations from key to key, now presenting the subject in major measures and anon in Minor, with » spray of chro- matics, arpeggit and chorded runs of fourths and sixths, dashed over the boia, martial subject, were such as the audience was hitherto unaccustomed to. ‘The Jinale is brilliant in the extreme.

This was undoubtedly tte best concert of the season at Stemway Hall, GRAND OPERA Hovse.—The “Twelve Tempta- ' tons” of Mr. James Fisk, Jr., ave so far succeeded in inveighng the throngs of theatre-goera of New York that this discreet gentleman added a further fascination last evening~a genuine cancan, @ mys- tic soaring of feet, a wild delight and carnival of bewltcning limbs. The leg was the infatuation; fauitiess figures, well proportioned busts and in- stnuating faces the magnetic poles. One might turn {rom the cancan of the Grand Opera House with feel- tngs of morality shocked; this might be the negative pole, but ts antipode would immediately cause a counter attraction, and the moraliss would look again. Whocan resist thecancan? Who can turn from its delirious fore, from tte intoxicating pos- tures, from its thriiiing animation? ‘The new can- can of last evening ts the moat brilliant on the stage.

BoweRy THEATRE.—Miss Kate Fisher commenced last night the last week of her engagement at this theacre. Manager Freligh, with his usual enterprise, offered to his patrons @ monster programme, and, notwithstanding the unpleasantness of the weather, the management was recompensed with afull house, from parquet to gallery. Miss Fisher has always been @ good card in the Bowery, and the announce- ment that her farewell performances wera to be given is no doubt sufficient explanation for the numerous attendance at the theatre, The programme for the evening commenced e with the Indian drama, in turee acts, from the pen of Mr. N. B. Clarke, “The Eagle Eye, or the Steed of the Delaware.” In this piece Miss Fisher appeared in the dual character of Eagle = and Otahontas. Both of these parts give Miss Fisher great opportunity for a display of her peouliar gra- matic powers, and her acting was proved to be sat- isfactory to the audience by the oft-repeated ap- lause with which sne was greeted. hs piece full of stirring tableaux and telling situations. The gest portion of the Susiness devolves upon Miss her, and she was bein dot at home all through the piece. The scenery and mountings were goad, and fully equal to the reputation of the manage- ment. After an interval, during which Messrs. Walaron and Collins gave a very good clo; dance, the curtain rose upon @ secon ieco—viz., “The Felon’s Bond.” Jn this piece ir, W. H. Whalley, the Old Bowery favorite, appeared as Gabriel Grayland, the escaped convict. ir. Whalley was excellentin his part, and owing to his careful acting the piece made a@ decided hit. In both plays the stock company of the Bowery afforded excellent support, anu t them as well as the “stara” generous and well deserved applause was ven. Mr. W. Marden takes his last beneftt on ednesday evening. and on pansy night the james W. Lin- th rg, will be given for a benefit to gar he late popular manager of the destroyed New Bowery theatre. PaRK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—Byron’s light but playful drama of “Not Such a Fool as He Looks” ‘was persented for the first time in Brooklyn last night to a crowded house. Mrs, Uonway, whose re- appearance was greeted with considerable applause, appeared as Sir Simon Simple, and well she played her part. By nature and by art, as though she were unto the manner born, did she give lifelike realy vo the lisping, brainiess, purposeless young Engiial baronet. Her conception of the character was per- fect, and her reproduction of it was equal to any of Sothern's creations. She was weil sustained by Mr. Lamb as Mold, by Mrs. M. Howard as Mrs. Moid, and by Miss Mahon as Fabin. Mr. Carroll was good a8 Mugatroyd, and the entire cast was extremely creditable. The latitudinarian and re- constructed version of “Hamlet” has only to be seen to provoke a roar of laughter in the most cyni- cal. Itis the play of “Hamlet” with all the tragedy left out and a great dea! of comedy put in, with local and transparent jokes and hits that were seen at once and truly appreciated. The ‘Shoo, fly,” ter- mination of the “fencing” business with Laertes and Hamlet is @ happy conception. ‘To those who ‘want a good laugh to drive dull care away we can commend them to the Park theatre. ‘Frou-Frou’”’ 19 In preparation and promises to we equal, if not surpaas, its production at the Fifth Avenue, It 18 played for the first time ou Monday evening, and Mr. Conway says it lé to surpass aii bis previous en- terprising eftoris. Musical and Thentrical Noten. Lester Wallack made his first appearance in Boston last night. Though a heavy snow storm prevailed the Boston theatre was crowded with a remarkable audience, comprising the ¢7ive of \iterary and fashionable society. Mr. Wallack was heartily welcomed and applauded with much cuthusiasm throughout his performance. M.
