a and fhe premium on gold from either going up or down very far; but he has no idea of a bold and comprehensive financial policy in what he does. If he would use the enormous amount of gold on hand in buying up the debt he would soon have a surplus again; and this gold diffused in the channels of trade and throughout the country would go far to bring us toaspecie basis. The Secretary has but one idea, and we fear all the efforts to put any other in his head will prove unavailing. Music, Retrospective and Prospective. The late Italian opera season has astonished everybody by its great financial success, despite the fact that With the sole exception of Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, who never sang or acted better before, the company was the worst that could be, under any circumstances, presented to the metropolitan public. Every one flocked to the Academy, and bore patiently the apathy of the tenor, the amateurishness of the contralto, the utter want of time or tune on the part of the numerous baritones and basses, the chaotic condition of the chorus and the deafening discord of the orchestra. Dilettanti grouped together in the foyer and wondered at the unaccountable bonhomie of the public, when butchery of the score, worse than that of the Communists in Paris, was racking every musical ear. The boxes and circles, however, were crowded every night, and the occupants, fair and otherwise, tried to forget the slaughter going on behind the footlights by criticising each other's toilets and indulging in that omi- nous occupation, a quiet chat. We believe that to-day not a dozen of the subscribers of the last season of Italian opera know, who sang or would ever recognize again any mem- ber of the company, except the ever-popular and reliable artiste, Kellogg. Now, the experience of this season is impor- tant to managers, and should be carefully studied by them, The New York public for years past have been actually hungering after opera, and they, rushed to the Academy when Albites announced the longed-for musical repast. Italian opera is an actual necessity to this city, and the manager who will present it in any kind of decent style need not fear that his efforts will not receive due appreciation. Mlle. Christine Nilsson is, we believe, the next prima donna who will essay Italian opera at the Academy of Music. She has a high reputation, and will probably gain greater laurels on the operatic stage than she did in the concert room. She has to support her two splendid artists, Miss Cary and Signor Brigno li; but as one swallow does not make a spring, neither does a prima donna, contralto and tenor constitute an opera company. Therefore we earnestly advise the manage- ment to bear this important fact in mind, that nowadays many of the patrons of Italian opera visit Europe every year and are accustomed to hear operas given in the best possible man- ner, with first class artists in the solo parts, a large, well-balanced chorus and an orchestra of the standard of Costa and Arditi, Miss Nilsson, Miss Cary and Brignoli cannot make @ season successful unless they are properly supported. The three would have been completely swamped had they appeared during the season just past. For Italian opera there must be at least a double quartet of first class singers, a well-drilled, homogeneous chorus and an orchestra sans peur et sans re- proche, Then comes the equally important department of mise en scene and all the ap- pointments necessary for the stage. Both the stockholders and the management of the opera should not lose sight of these indispensable attributes of Italian opera, as neither the pub- lic nor the press can tolerate a repetition of the past season of opera. With the exception of the great German Sangerfest, which takes place next month, and in which Gambrinus and Apollo are equally interested, there is little to expect in music in the metropolis until the fall. Of course the concerts of Theodore Thomas, at Central Park Garden, will supply, during the hot summer months, everything that a lover of music may expect; but they are not to be classed among the regular Academy sensations. Apropos of this orches- tra, here is a chance for the Nilsson manage- ment to secure an American Costa and an exponent of every kind of operatic music. Hundreds of our best citizens find their way every evening to the Park to listen to the entrancing strains of this orchestra, and they come away with a feeling of regret that such ‘an incomparable band of musicians should be lost tous during the regular season, Jullien ‘has established himself at Terrace Garden for the summer, and bids fair to emulate the example and popularity of his distinguished father. During the fall and winter season, independ- ent of the Nilsson operatic season, there are many pleasing features. First of all comes Rullman’s Concert Troupe, consisting of ‘the celebrated Vienna Ladies’ Orches- tra, Madame Fabbri, Mlle. Elzer and Herr Miller. The orchestra is a complete novelty, consisting of twenty young girls of the first families of Vienna, with Mias Josephine Weinlich as conductress. Then we are to have an English opera troupe, with Parepa-Rosa and Jenny Van Zandt as the stars. Dolby brings Miss Hdith Wynne, Mme, 'Patey-Whytock and Santley for English ballads, ‘Schneider takes up her quarters at the Grand Opera House, and the Stadt will have another season of German opera. Altogether the prospects of music for the next season are very favorable, and the divine art will receive more encouragement than it has for many years past. Let the different managers not become discouraged at the bugbear of competition : there is a large and liberal public for them in this city. But we again warn the forthcoming impresario against. the presentation of operas in an incomplete and unsatisfactory form, The public have submitted gracefully to the nui- sance once, but they will not stand it a second time, Tak Rascattry, in the domestic line of life, of some people in this city is marvellous, Here is the cage of a shop girl brought before Judge Cardozo yesterday, charged by her female employer with embezzling money, who proves that the case is trumped up by her own husband and the shop-keeping woman in order to compel her to consent to a divorce #0 that the other two may get married.

We give below brief sketches of the two new members of the French Ministry appointed by M, Thiers to succeed M. Picard and General Leflo. A) Victor Lefranc, Minister of the Laterior. Lefranc, who has succeeded M. Picard as Minister of the Interior, was born at Garsin, in the Basses Pyrenées, on the 2a of March, 1809. He re- ceived a good education, but was not prominent in politics until after the revolution of 1848, when he was elected to the Constituent Assembly, avowedly as @ representative of the party of order, but really as a supporter of the restoration of monarchy. He supported Louis Napoleon against the reds until the real designs of the President became apparent, when he at once went Into opposition. At the time of the dispersion of the Assembly, when a number of the Representatives met at the Mayoralty of the Tenth Arrondissement and decreed the deposition of Napoleon, M. Lefranc was not present. After their arrest, however, he, with M. Bixto, went to Mazas Prison voluntarily and enrolled himself a prisoner. He was soon released, however, when he went into retirement, from which he did not emerge ‘until after the overthrow of the empire last Sep- tember. M. Lefranc is probably an Orleanist, but of that there is no certainty. He is said to be @ man of ability, but to be lacking In firmness and de- cision of character. General Courtot de Cissey, Minister of War. Probably the most extraordinary appointment ever made by M. Thiers is that of General Cissey as Min- ister of War to succeed General Leflo, named Min- ister to Russia. Le#lo ts one of the most pronounced of anti-Bonapartists; Cissey 18, or at least was, a warm adherent of the Napoleonic dynasty. He isu man in the prime of life, and was born in Northern France. He studied at the Ecole Militaire, and, after graduating, was commissioned a svus lieutenant and sent to Africa, where, in the endless wars with the Arabs, he won reputation and promotion. During the Crimean war he served with credit, as also during the war in Italy, .winning the rank of brigadier general and subeequenuy that of general of division. For three or four years pre- vious to the outbreak of the war of 1870 he was in command of one of the military divisions of France, the Jast being the Sixteenth division, with head- quarters at Rennes. No greater proof can be found of his Napoleonic sentiments than the fact just stated. On the declaration of hostilities his division, with the Fifth corps, to which it belonged, was sent to Metz, and General Cissey participated in all the bat- tles at and around that city. He surrendered with Bazaine, and remained in Germany on parole, when he returned to France. The conspicuous part he took in suppressing the Commune rebellion in Paris 1s too recent to need recapitulation. Unless the sentiments of General Cissey have changed since September last he 1s still a Bonapartist, and with his appointment as Minister of War the entire military government of France has been placed in the hands of the adherents of Napoleon, VICTOR HUGO. HIS EXPULSION FROM BELGIUM. Debate on the Subject in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives—The Majority in Favor of the Government — Victor Hugo Called an Intellectual Malefactor. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. BRUSSELS, May 31, 1871. The Belgian government has ordered M. Victor Hago to tasten lis departure from Belgtum. In the event of non-comphance he was threatened with imprisonment and extradition to the French gov- ernment, M. Hugo protested against what he calied the tyrannical action of the Belgian Ministry, and left Brussels to-day for Holland, whence he will probably embark for England. In the Belgian Chamber of Representatives several Mberal members condemned the tllegal proceedings of the government with regard to M. Victor Hugo. One speaker said M. Hugo was a political refugee, and therefore entitled to remain in Belgium as long as he did not violate the laws of the country. Ho alluded to M. Hugo's grand achievements in the field of literature and his services to humanity, and proposed a resolution of regret for the expulsion of Victor Hugo. The motion was supported by several members, and @ very exciting de- bate ensned upon this question, The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in his speech, sald that he considered the offence of M. Hugo and of the other Commu nists to be of a criminal, not a political nature. He (tne Minister) wanted to prevent the spread of those pernictous theories. He condemned the complicity of intellectual malefactors with the crimes of the Commune. ITALY. Hunting Down the Paris Communists. TELEGIAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. FLORENCE, May 31, 1871. Tn compliance with the request of M. Jules Favre, the French Minister for Foreign Adairs, the Italian government has given orders to ail its prefects throughout the country to arrest all the fugitives of the Paris Commune as soon as they enter Italy.

THE DISTRICT INSPECTOR CENSURED. Negligence in Oiling the Machinery the Cause of the Fire. The Inspecior Makes a Second Investigation on His Own Account. ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY. ® Purrrston, Pa., May 31, 1871, The Coroner's jury were in session all night, and rendered a verdict this morning at four o'clock, as already telegraphed to the HeRaLp. As I have already stated, the jury find that the miners met their death from improper ventilation of the mine; that when the breaker took fire there was no means of supplying the men with fresh air, and that the means of ventilation were not such as are required by the act of March 30, 1870, The jury further- more find there was negligence on the part of the employés of the company in not Keeping portions of the machinery properly olled; and, further, that the company had ¢mployed on the day of the accident @ greater number of men than the act already re- ferred to warrants. The verdict finds, further, that Mr. Thomas M.\Williams, inspector of mines, knew of these violatipns of the law, but did not protest against them, énd that he failed in his duty m not applying to the courts for an injunction against the operators, During the nighta great numberof miners and citizens visited the Town Hall, making inquiries about the probable action of the jury. Great inter- est has been minifested by the people in the course of the investigation, and those who have been pre- sent during the examination pronounce the exam- ination of witnesses most thorough, and the unre- mitting efforts intaking the testimony laborious and complete, This norning INSRECTOR T, M. WILLIAMS opened his cour} of investigation, consisting of a committee of five—F. Gaines, Alfred Hefferan, Thomas Smiles, Ifiac Matkins and John Reese. I interviewed the {nspector as to the purpose of his holding @ second investigation. He believes the Coroner's action superfluous, and that he is bouna by law to make thk investigation, and referred me to the following ettract of decision of Garrick M. Harding, Judge, te wit:— By the terms of theazt tt does not pecome the duty either of the Coroner or any ustice af the peace in this county to ed person unless wful violence or or other unlawful acttat the hands of some other person, or there be such strong suspielon of such vio- lence or other nnkwful acts as to make an in- quest necessary. Thi act of 1870, entitled “An act pro- Viding for the health ajd safety of persona employed in coal miueg contemplates m iavestigation by the Inspector of ‘Mines for the pro) ict in cases where there been ‘an explosion or accide}t. Turning from the}lecision of the presiding Judge, upon which the Insjector depends for his authority for this unusual protedure in ignoring the Coroner's inquest, we extrac\ the following from section twelve of act of Asstmbly providing for the safety of persons in mines, to wit:— Whenever loss of life or selous_ personal injury to any per- son shall occur by reasor of any explosion of other accident whatever iu or about any coal mine or colliery, it suall be the duty of the party having thaige of such coal mine or colliery to give notice thereof forthwith, by mail or otherwise, to the inspector for the strict and to the coroner for the district and to the coroner of the county if any person is killed themby aad due notice shall be givan the coroner of an inquest to bs held as to the result of a Such expiosion or accident, und ft shall be the duty of the said inspector to imm y repair to the scene of the accl- dent and make such 8: ong as Thay nppear necessary to secure the safety of th ward if the results of the ex- plosion do not requite au ‘investigation’ by the coroner he sail Investigate, &c.

Trinity chapel, on West Iwenty-ffth street, near Broadway, was last evening the scene of the mar- Tiage of Mary Ametia Tweed to Mr. Arthur Ambrose Maginnis, of New Orleans, The streets for blocks around were fled with carriages, while the church was crowded to excess. The centre aisle was re- served for the invited guests and presented a most brilliant spectacie. The side aisles and gallery con- tained those attracted to the church by the fame of the bride’s father, ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDAL PARTY, At about half-past seven o'clock the bridal party arrived in carriages and proceeded up the centre aisle to the railing, where stood the Rey. Joseph H. Price, of St, Stephen’s church, waiting to tie the nuptial knot. Richard Tweed came first, with Miss Maggie Maginnis on his arm, followed by Mr. Frank Tweed and Miss Josephine S. Tweed, the bride's sister, Then came the mother of the bride and the bride- groom elect, and William M, Tweed supporting his lovely daughter, Miss Mary Amelia, As the bridal party walked up the aisle the organ swelled forth an air of joyfulness, gradually toning down as they approached the altar, and almost ceasing during the ceremony. THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY. The Rev. Dr. Price, a@ venerable gentleman with hoary head, read the marriage service in solemn tones, and at its conclusion Kissed the bride, It was he who oficiated at the marriage of the bride's parents tn the old church corner of Broome and Chrystie streets. He also married General William M. Tweed and also the elder Miss Tweed to a brother of the present bridegroom, Mr. Alfred Tweed and Mr. Robbins acted as ushers with much emMciency, THE RECEPTION, At the conclusion of the drove to the residence of tne No. Sit Fifth avenue, corner of street, when the married coupie received their frieuds, standing under a magnii- cent marriage bell of japonicas at the end of the reception room, The parlors and stairway and upper rooms were ali decorated with natural flowers from Mr. Tweed’s hothouse at Greenwich, The floral decorations were most profuse and in excel- lent taste. In an enclosure at the foot of the stairs, on the reception floor, was stationed a band of music, which discoursed promenade music during the first part of the evening, and afterwards played dancing airs. to whicn the private friends of the family tripped the light fantastic, injratherislow{mea- sure, however, owing to the warmth of the air and the absence of retreshing breezes.
