In a few days more comes smiling May, garlanded with sunshine and fanned by the balmy breezes of Spring. The close of the penitential season of Lent and the sweet music of the Easter chimes have closed the last of the dreary entr’actes of the theatrical season, andthe curtain bas arisen for the last time, to fall when the summer solstice will thin the boxes and stalls and tempt the chil- ren of Thespis and Melpomene to the sea- side and the mountain top. Wg have yet a clear month or six weeks before us, and that period is rife of promise—Plalz fiir gesang. Lyric art tirst, Next week the three opening performances of Albites’ Italian opera com- pany will take place at the Academy of Music. Kellogg, States, Himela, Villani and Law- rence are the bright-stars in this lyric con- slellation, and we may expect Madame Fash- fon to do her prettiest in dedecking the boxes with lovely faces, braided coiffures and elegant toilets, We trust the result will bea happy omen for the fall and the long-wished-for débit of the Swedish nightingale in opera. Apropos of this bird of song, she will soon take wing for the shores of the Pacific, where Truthful James, Ah Sin and Bill Nye will emulate each other in bidding her welcome. Here in the concert line we have but a single Philharmonic night left and an abundance of small benefits, Jerome Hopkins led his Orpheon artists through the mazes of an ela- borate programme on Tuesday, and Dr. James Pech will give one more of those delightful church music concerts, which, in a fashionable as well as artistic point of view, have no rivals in this great metropolis, The Church Music Association seems to be the special protégé of Fashion, for the fickle goddess fills the seats of Steinway Hall with rich toilets and Fourteenth street with liveried equipages when Dr. Pech waves his baton. But besides these musical notes there comes the Teutonic saturnalia, the Saengerfest, which will agitate every emigrant from Fatherland during the June calends. Beethoven and bock beer, Handel and Hockheimer, will preside at this great festival. Then next month the “Hub” will be convulsed by the triennial classical jubilee of the Handel and Haydn Society, who have secured that queen of oratorio singers, Mme. Rudersdorf, for the occasion. The dramatic outlook is equally brilliant, if. not more so. First, Mr. Booth has produced that delightful romance of the ‘divine William,” ‘‘A Winter's Tale,” than which no tome of yellow-covered literature can bo more absorbing, and which all the immense resources of the Twenty-third street’ temple of the drama have been called into aciion to fitly represent. The young-old comedian, Charles Mathews, has made the Fifth Avenue theatre an inex- haustible fount of laughter by the clever por- traitures of the dramatist and the critic in Sheridan's last play, and the rehearsal of Sir Fretful’s tragedy brings tears (of laughter) to every eye. Foote’s sterling comedy, ‘‘The Liar,” with the accomplished Lester Wallack, bids fair to hold the boards at the Théatre Frangais of New York for a long time, and Chanfrau will shortly redeem the fiasco of “Richard III.” at Niblo’s, The Olympic is at present the exponent of American frontier life, and Lina Edwin’s of American “Pluck.” The smaller theatres are putting forth unusual efforts in order to make the close of the season ag brilliant as possible. Take it allin all, it would be difficult to find another city richer in the musical and dramatic line at present. Among all these attractions we must not for- get the farewell of Seebach to-night, a tragédi- ‘enne who has created an impression that will not soon fade, and who now makes way for the bewitching Raabe, the Lotta and Maggie Mitchell of Germany. The people have nobly responded to the exertions of the managers, and enterprise and judgment this season can- not complain of not having found a liberal re- turn and appreciation. Tue TeRRwige RaitRoap AooweEnt on the New Jersey Central Railroad, at Craaford station, yesterday morniug, by which four men were instantly killed, appears to be one of those cases in which the negligence of the victins brought on their ¢wn destruction, rather than by any recklessness on the part of the railroad. The facts, as telographed, show that the baggage wagon of a travelling circus, containing four men—who were inside the wagon—and the driver, was standing on the track when the train came along. The driver, it seems, was aslcep, and unconscious of the approach of the train until too late to avoid the danger. The consequence, of course, was fearful, Four of the unfortunate circus men were torn to pieces and their remains scattered along the road. There appears to be no blame attachable to any one but them- selves; but this deplorable event should bea warning to people to use more caution at railroad stations and give the track a wide margin. Tue Rove Exemenr is very unseagonably asserting its barbarous tendencies again. One of its representatives insulted a gentleman who was escorting two ladies in a Seventh avenue car on Wednesday night, and finally, as the gentleman was leaving the car, struck him heavily on the head with the iron hook which the drivers use in coupling. The gen- tleman is likely to die and the rough is await- ing the judgment of the Court of General Sessions, whose healthy teachings he had evi- dently forgotten for the time being. cicagieliuiaamnaiinnomees Tae Crsoinnatt Commercial says ‘“‘the Tweed and Sweeny ring of New York will either dictate the Presidential nomination of the democracy, or they will raise a (tremen- dous rumpus inthe party.” If they do not some other ring Will.

ENGLAND. Parliamentary Notics of the Work of-the Joint High Commission. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. LONDON, April 27, 1871. Questions relative to the actual state of the exist- ing relations between Great Britain and the United States, and also concerning the exact financial con- dition of England and the taxpaying resources of the people, as they have been set forth in Mr. Lowe's | budget, engage the attention of Parliament almost nightly. sos I am enabled to report by cable telegram for the HeRALD that during the session of the House of Commons this evening Viscount Enileld, Under Foreign Secretary, in reply to a question on the sub- ject of the action of the Joint High Commission, stated that ‘no convention had yet been gigned be. tween England and Amertca."’ At the same time he “declined to specify what points the Joint High Commission had already adjusted.’? The Debato on the BudgetA Crowded House—Concessions to the Democracy and Disraeli. Lonpon, April 27, 1871. ‘rhe Parliamentary tactics, both of the Ministert- alists and the oppositicn, are conducted with ex- ceeding activity aud @ vast amount of political party zeal and vigilance. There was a very full attendance of members in the House of Commons this evening, in consequence ofa circular which has been addressed to the sup- porters of the Ministry announcing that “Mr. Disraeli intended to oppose the budget.”” Premier Gladstone rose on the Ministerial benches, immediately after tho Speaker had taken the chatr, and announced that “the propositions to impose a tax on matches and to increase the duties on lega- cles and successions would be withdrawn with the view to reconcile the opposition to the remaining revenue recommendations of the budget, and that an addition of twopence on the pound sterling to the income tax would be substituted, vs THE ENGLISH TURF.

LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. Bret Haxre isin the city spending afew days with a friend. FLORENCE Marryati’s (Mrs, Ross-Church) last novel, “Her Lord and Master,” 1s said to be very silly—sad trash in fact. In Two Books recently published in England on the Dutch republics of South Africa the authors agree in giving an unfavorable picture of the people, The treatment of the negroes by the Boers ts repre sented as oppressive and almost barbarous, MazzInt has an article in the Cotemporary maga- zine of London on the Franco-German war, in which he assails the French people in bitter lan. guage. He complains that the sympathy shown for France in the second stage of the war was as {il placed as, in the first stage, was the sympathy for Germany. i On Fripay Last Mrs. Leonowens gave a matinée Teading before a large and fasitonabie afdience tn the parlors of Mra.

MR. JAMES FLANRANK has written a book entitiod “Mind and Manners,” which Longman, of London, has published. It contains a series of dull dia logueas. on such subjects as “Conversation,” “Genlus,” “Memory,” “Language.” Mr. Flanrank says that “Britain has become the grand temple of science and literature,” and he speaks of Horace Walpole as a man of genius, PROFESSOR InNE’S “History of Rome’ does not meet with as much favor from the English public a8 Mommngen’s.does, We agree with those critics who declare that enough histones of Rome have been written. Unless new facts are discovered It seems @ waste of time to repeat the same things over and over again, merely for the purpose of expressing opinions and indulging in speculations, ‘THE Eprror of the Danville (Va.) 7émes announces that he has collected a number ef interesting anec- dotes of John Randolph of Roanoke—the famous Randolph~ which he proposes to publish by weekly instalments tn his paper until they are exhausted. ‘The anecdotes were collected in Randolph's county, and will doubtless interest all persons acquainted with tne career of one of the most notable of Americans, In visw of a probable Leavy immigration from Alsace and Lorraine to the United States Mr. Lo- renzo Oastro has published a pamphlet giving a lis- tory of “Castr.'s Colony” in Texas, These colonists were brougbt over by his father, and, as many of them were trom Alsace and Lorraine, Mr. Castro believes that thelr uniform prosperity may induce others of their countrymen to settle in Texas, the advantages of which State are very great. - BRENTANO'S career in this city 13 an illustration of what energy and integrity can accomplish.

It Must be confessed, too, that some of Mr. Wash- burn’s statements are utterly untrustworthy, For example, his estimate of the loss sustained in popu- lation by the Paraguayans during the war with Brazil and ner allies has been proven exaggerated and reckless by the recent census. James O3G00D & Co., of Boston, have announced the completion of arrangements for tne prosecution of aseubscription book trade as @ new department in their business, The first books to be published n this form are the “Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin” (James Parton), and “Our New Way Round the World” (Charles Carleton Coffin).

The Albany Journal thoughtfully remarks:—"The death of Senator Blood just before the session began, and of Senator Harpending just after its termina- tion, inflicts upon the present Senate a severer loss than any of its recent predecessors have suffered.” Some think the meagre majority—oaly twelve—by which English has been elected Governor of Con- necticut not a matter to boast of.

The Atlanta True Georgian claims to represent four-fifths of the Southern people, and to know the condition of the public pulse generally, and adds:— “There will be no issue made by the Southern de- mocracy (except by & few political Bourbons) on the constitutional amendments, The South accepts the situation as It 18, and there will be no third party organization south of Mason and Dixon's line.” The Philadelphia Press says that “since Winans the apostate, still declares himself a republican the He New York republicans think of changing their | fylving & Jo name.’ A good many republicans have been tn the same way of thinking for some time. The name, so far ag@ party designation is concerned, has, in the judgment of many of t(s.members, outlived its usefulness. The Richmond Whig remarks, with much truth, that “there is a large portion of the Northern people who have little todo with polities ordinarily, but whose votes are decisive; who are easily influenced and misled by plausible party clamor, Tho present disposition of this class is to abandon the radical, party and to co-operate with a moderate conserya- tive party, whiob, turning its face from violence,And excess of every Kind, will introduce integrisy and economy into the administration of the govern- ment,"4 af Personal Intelligence. nn Str Thomaa Gord Browne, Governor of Bermuds,, And Captain Stewart, of his stad, have apartments at ute Futh Avenue.
