Graceful Floral Tributes to the Queen of Song. ‘The scene last might at the Academy of Music Will long dwell im the memory of those who had the happiness to witness it. Never perhaps in the history of opera in this country did an audience so numerous and britliant assemble to welcome an artist to the American stage. The débat of Madame Lucca was looked forward to with unusual interest by the puolic on account of the romance that surrounds the story of her struggles and her triumphs, Coming to us with a great European reputation thére was a pretty general feeling that the Ameri- can public had nothing to do but accept the ver- dict already pronounced by a competent tribunal On the vocat powers of the wayward little lady. In selecting ‘‘L'Africaine” lor the opening night the management displayed good sense, for, al- though that magnificent work of Meyerbeer has never obtained much hold on the American public, every one was anxious to see the one prima donna who could invest the role of Selika with absorbing interest. The result justid@ed the managerial calculations. Public attention waa thoroughly aroused and every one who could manage it went to the great Selika’s début to note the impression she would make, fully convinced that it would mark au epoch in the history of the lyric stage. Long before the hour announced for the opening of the Academy a crowd had collected at tne en- ri in I ie resolved heli Resa eral ieer tats te ae oe positions. These were the unfortunate votaries of the muses, who, trom carelessness or economy, had neglected to obtain seats while there was yet time, and were now forced to watch and struggle for some coigu of vantage. People pushed about ina Moat unceremonious manner, and whoever had the hardest ribs and the sharpest elbows got nearest the wished-for entrance. At fast the doors opened and the surging mass of humanity precipitated themsetves into the in- terior and were quickly distributed through the house, Those who held reserved seata came in more slowly, a8 their locations were fixed and there was no need of hurry. Even this class, how- ever, were not long in putting tn an appearance, and the mass of dark-looking, empty seats became dotted here and there with the white burnous of the ladies. Gradually the large blank spaces were filled with animated human forms, untit the melancholy-looking auditorium brightened up and bloomed, as if under the wand of a magician, with a parterre of brilliant cos- tumes, sparkling diamonds, laughing eyes and beautiful human faces full of sympathetic life. Never, perhaps, had the Academy looked go bril- Hiant as it did last night. Every nook and corner was filled, and there did not seem tobe a spot where another human being could be conveniently placed. ‘The richness of the ladies’ toilets and the general prevalence of full dvess contributed to give an unusual ¢éclat to the scene, which was not without its effect on the spirits of the audience. So much had been promised on behalf of Mme. Lucca that expectation ran high, and the public were on their guard not to be surprised into accepting the débutante before she had thoroughly demonstrated her right to be considered as the great artiste whose Selika was without rival. This feeling was felt rather than mantfested, and in Spite of the joyous look of the house the audience were reserved and almost cold in the opening acts. There was no marked welcome extended to any of the artists nntil Madame Lneca appeared on the scene, If there was not manifested the kind of enthusiasm = which would have hailed Mme. Lucca in Italy, France or even England, there was yet a compensating heartiness In the welcome tendered to her that went a far way to repiace the missing enthusiasm. As the evening wore on the cold and formal spirit of the ce dissolved, and under the magic imfuence . Lucca’s clear, sweet notes the audience were warmer: into admiration and finally into en- thustasm. Not a solitary flower was cast at her feet when she first appeared, but when she had sung and the audience became con- vinced ‘that she possessed all the gifts and genins that she had been credited with, floral tributes were absolutely showered on her, | In at least one instance this statement 1s literally | true. An enthusiastic admirer in the upper tier of boxes threw a huge bouquet with sucha true aim that it Janded on Lucca’s shoulder, As the bouquet might be more correctly described as a bundle of | flowers, the compilment quite staggered the lady, but she rallied and looked up amlably at the mat adroi’, woo hastened to disappear as rapidly as he could, ‘This was about the only contretemps of the night, a3 everything went on very smoothly. In face of the magnificent promises made by the directors of the Academy the mise en scene was any- thing but impressive, and though there was no at- tempt made to introduce our old Swiss friend we feel assured that we have not yet done with that marvellousiy enduring Monument of the sceng palyter’s art, os eis eae ee ae What a strange thing is the mind of a great composer, when, after reaching the temple of Jame and being crowned with imperishable tau- rels, ambition leads him on to monnt still higher and to excel! all his former efforts!

He dreamed his life away on a work Which was to tower above all others, and this work was “L’Africaine.’* All other efforts or his mind were insignificant to him in presence of this one absorbing idea, We have told before how he sought long and patiently for a prima donna worthy of interpreting the heroine of his work, and how in Pauline Lucca he thought he found his ideal, But to refer to last night's representation. cast of the opera Was the lollowin, M The Pauline Laces Leont Levietlt Miss Shotield Signor Abrugnedo a Don Alvar «.

Then came Gran’s troupe, and Gazzaniga essayed the part of the heroine. ‘The opera has been given at the Stadt Theatre in German several times since, But, all things con- sidered, last night's representation placed the work in the light of a novelty. A new and carefully selected company and many painstaking rehearsals testified to the care of the management. As the chorus and or- chestra are of more vital tmportance to an opera of Meyerbeer than to that of any composer—we may say licre that Mr. Maretzek's forces in these departments were well disciplined, but not strong enough jn number to invest the work with that dig- nity, grandeur and effect desirable, There were forty-four instruments in the orchestra and flty odd singers, and of the volime of tone produced by them the orchestra had the lon's share.

Iu the prison scene the lovely slumber song, given with the most intense expression of tenderness that could emanate from the human _ neart, awoke the audience to the realization of a lyric genius. Then the duet witn Vasco, in which the dusky queen is beguiled into the pleasi thought that her love ts returned, was given wit! an outburst of joy that reflected itself vividly from voice and radiant countenance. In the fourth act the impersonation of Setika by Mme. Lucoa reached climax of excellence in another love duet, which drew forth from every hearer a non spon- taneous response and made the Academy ring with great acene, where the forsaken Selika, having ina Cy ay? spirit given up her own hay a8 for that of her lover and rival, sings her death song beneath the deadly shade of the Manca- nilla tree, was one to be remembered. The tierce Asiatic passion, that, tigreas-like, inspired her even in the dungeon of the Inquisition to attempt the life of her Use og sinks into an res of despair, lighted only by memory of her lost love. As the letnal lethal overcomes her and the poison steals ul her frame, ecstatic visions of 3 home be- yond the dark river float before her mind. She fees herself in bright lands, brighter than even those of her own sunny olime, wandering hand in hand with the idot of her heart. Thug she passes away in a dream, and the light falls on ® glorified face lying beneath the deadly upas when the soul has taken its fight. It would be diMouit, if not iny ible, to give an adequate idea of Lucca’s acting in this scene. Itis an epic of hu- man passion, Lucca's success was complete. ‘The next artist in the company who won instant popularity was the tenor, Abrugnedo.

In the duets with Selika he eag: ® reaponded to the im; joned efforts of the prima donna, and tn that delicious moroeau of melody in the fourth act, “O Paradiso!” which is enveloped in a diaphanons veil of string tremolos, his pure, rich, sympathetic, well-modulated voice was heard to His voice has all the eolafant qualities adyant of that s 1, with mors 6, grace And re- Mablligy® i tS. an fircace {8 also prepos- seasing, An actlng, fr rather quiet, graceful, Mile, Leveille sang the dle of Ines very com- mendably, and, » yé a thinness of tope in the upper notes, her voice is very pleasing and satisfac- tory in opera. Signor Moriami did not make as much of the part of the savage chieftain as his prodecessora, Bellini, on the Italian stage, and Jacob Muller, on the German. Nelusko requires & more robust, ettective and passionate singer than Signor Moriami. Thia was particularly evident in the dashin, Mephistophelian song, “Xing Adamastor,” in which he scares the sailors. almost out of their wits. Jamet, a true, conscientious artist, made the most out of the role of Don Pedro. The ship scene is a bother to all managers, both in Europe and America, as the nautical knowledge displayed by the people on the stage is generally of the crudest description. It isno wonder that the poor ship goes on the rocks after such seamanship 4s ig shown by her crew. But Portuguese craft have been proverbially unmanageable, and that of tt - une? is, perhaps, no worse than others of e tlk. e The mtuor réles were Reeee ces ly. filled, and a word of praise is due to Signor Lyall. The opera is a very heavy, rather cumber- some work, and not calculated to Ain popularity in its general features. But the Selika of Lucca is sufficient to litt every scene she ap- pears in out of its massiveness, and build up a fairy structure of beauty and melody that cannot fail to win the sympathies of any audience. OF TWENTY YEARS’ STANDING. Me SM : It is not often that we can take for the text ofan article the Mowery and sometime hyperbolical lan, guage of a theatrical advertisement, in which man- agers so glowingly describe the attractions they present and so boldly announce their claims to the consideration of the public. The heading of the present article isa line taken from Mr. Watlack’s advertisement, and we consider the statement so modest, and withal so true, that we pause a mo- ment in the whirl of business to give it notice. Mr. Wallack, in announcing his forthcoming season, states that it will be his endeavor to sustain in the juture that high art position which has been con- teded to his late father and to himself, under he title ‘“Wallack’s,” for twenty years, Most truly and loyally has that position been striven for and most appreciatively has the publig ratified the endeavor. The late Mr. Wallack conf- menced his management of the theatre on Broad- way and Broome street at a period when theatrical affairs were anything but brilliant. His was a her- culean task and could have been accomplished only by the tact, technical knowledge, firmness, suave address, strict honesty of purpose and clear-head- edness which he eminently possessed. It was not a path of roses, but a wearying, up-hill road. The results of his labors were not apparent until long after the work had been commenced, and, although from the first he had the good wishes and the sup- port of men of taste, still such men, willing to ap- pear concerned in dramatic matters, were few. Courage and perseverance, however, conquered, as they always will, and before leaving the old theatre Mr. Wailack had firmly established for Mimself that reputation which has clung to the name ever since. In all his managerial endeavors he was ably seconded by the present Mr. Lester Wallack, who, from the pupil in such an excellent school, became @ master of his art. Betwetn father and son so much affectionate rivalry to promote the cause had the best result,and with their united labors the drama prospered beyond their best hopes, They were not content with ane well, but always strove to do better. One of the happi- est consequences of this management was the pro- duction of some of the finest comedies ig the 5, lish language and the selection of arttsts to in pret the same.

Alter ten years of artistic triumphs the late Mr. Wallack opened his uptown theatre, the present building on Broadway and Thirteenth street. With great difficulty and under the most discouraging predic: | tions the structure had been erected, and many were the friendly assurances’ the bold manager received of witimate ruin for going so far from the scene of his triumphs. for a time certain matters did look dark, only, however, to be succeeded by a brilliancy which has never alnce decreased. Success in the widest sense has attended the daring of the management, and the present Pe we who has for the last ten years borne the whole burden of man- | aging the theatre which has his name, is amply re- warded. The late Mr. Wallack Chet Na but twice on the boards of the present establishment, and in consequence of 7 a failing health had for a number of years abandoned all but nominal con- trol over the fortunes of the place, his son, the present Myr. Wallack, doing then what he | was afterward called upon through the lamentable death of his father to do—devote his whole time, sostey and skill to the management.

Mr. Wallack merely mentions a fact in making his annual announcement of opening the seusoa, which he will do this evening, with Mr. W. 5, Gil- vert’s original comedy, “Pygmalion and Galatea.’’ The opntarit of this play has been quite unpazal- leled in the history of the drama in London, not alone for the number of nights it was played, but for the appiause with which the purity of the composition and the bike of the whole conception were rece! it wilh be carefull mounted with scenery and appointments, of which Mr. Waliack has had models sent from London, and the cast will include some namea new to the theatre and some new to the country, among the former Mr. Boniface and Miss Ohaliis, and the latter that of Miss Katherine Rogers.

The Brooklyn Theatre. Last evening the seeond week of the season at Mra, Conway's Brooklyn Theatre was begun, The Play produced was the “psychological drama,"’ “The Bellis,” aa it was styled in the play bill. The piece has been fully sketohed in the HERALD, and, therefore, its plot and situation need not be par- ticularly noticed here. The interest of the drama is centred in the character of Mathias Kant, which last evening was personated by Mr. Frank Roche. The character is that ofa man in whose mind remorse (called up #0 deitly by the jingle of the sleigh bells) ia working and ren- dering his life almost intolerable, But it 1s not the remorse that impels one to the discovery of crime and to a calm sufferance of its consequences at the hands of society. Itis the confiict of conscience with the love of wife and child and regard of the ood opinion of fellow men; the anguish given by the tormentor in the breast that is vivi- fled by sin oontesting with love of life, kindred and good name. At last strength fails to the victim of the struggle, and though conscience kills him, love gains the victory, for the story of the crime of Mathias dies with him. Mr. Roche ave evidence of patoststiog: tu enact the charac- er, and in several scenes, especially the imaginary trial for murder, was remarkably effec- tive, yet it would be too much to ex- pect him to rival an actor who has given his full attention to the part. Mr, Roche has had 80 many characters to sustain during the short period he has performed this season, and therefore 80 little time to devote to a particular part, that it is no derogation of his ability to say that there are portions of his prevent undertaking which he might render in an improved manner. The other per- formers have so little to do in the play that there ts small need to criticise them. However, Miss lone Burke seems not yet to nave acquired an ease of manuer, or if her present style of acting is usual with her the lady is lamentably defictent in ability to give natural color to her bah area Mr. Brutone excellently performed the character of the jolly old Truikvelt, The other parts were well sus- tained, with the exception of Jeanne, by Miss Kate Brevoori. There was too much of the Thompsonian burlesque style in her perform- ance, Alsatian bar and chambermaids may he’ frisky, but it ig not ft all kel they have the pecullar aptitude for throwing up their heels that Miss Brevoort exhibited last night. ‘The scenic effects were remarkably good. The tableau at the end of the first act, with the vision of the murder, had a startling effect upon the audience. “The Bells” will be repeated until further notice, MIS SUSANNA EVANS.

WAsHiNcton, Sept. 30, 1872, Discharge of The Embassy Fundle: Private advices received here by the Iast Pacific steamer from a source heretofore found authentic report acrisisin the public adairs of Japan, and indicate the ascendancy of the old Japanese party over the reformers, and the end, for the present, of the spread of western civilization im the empire. Mr. Mori, who has never assumed the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary, announced as conferrea ‘upon him several months ago, is to be succeeded as Chargs at Washington by @ young man, wholly inexperienced in diplomacy, belonging to the non-progressives, and who is not to do more than keep up & nominal representation of his gov- ernment. General Horace Capron, the Commis- stoner of Agriculture, transferred from the same post. at Washington on the recommendation of our own government, has been discharged—a fate that was foreshadowed in these despatches several months ago; and the services of Peshine Smith, taken from our Department of State to organize the Law Departmont of Japan, are likewise terminated. Information also received from Europe represents the Embassy to the Western Treaty Powers aa stranded in London without funds or authority to proceed with their functions. The work ona war vessel under construction in New York is also stopped for want of money, only $65,000 having been paid on the contract made by Minister Mort, under which $300,000 was to be paid by instalments for the vessel when complete. On account of these complications Mr. Birdseye G. Northrup, the Con- necticut State Commissioner of Education, declines the similar position tendered him some time ago by the Japanese government. Sambo to Ulysses. A Committee of the Colored Men's Convention, ot New England, which met in laneul! Hall, Boston, on the 5th Inst., called on the President to-day and presented a letter from tneir Convention. The Committee was Lewis Hayden, George L. Raftin and Charles EK, Pindall, The letter was de- livered by Mr, RaMn, who made @ few remarks. The President in reply expressed his gratification that an effort to secure protection to life and pro- perty to all classes throughout the country haa been so fully appreciated, and thanked the Com- mittee for the kind manner in which they had at- tended to his action in regard to their race, Local Politics. The First Assembly District Republican Con- vention for Orange county, to-day, nominated Augustus Denniston for the Assembly and George K. Smith for School Commissioner, The San Juan Boundary Arbitration. The latest despatch received at the State Depart- ment from Minister Bancroft refers to the San Juan arbitration as progressing without interruption or embarrassment, and that he feels encouraged to look for an early and favorable decision, though he does not intimate that his opinion of the result is founded on any other basis than the strength of the case presented by the United States as com- pared with that of Great Britain, The State De- partment has no other information on the subject than that received from Minister Bancroft. ‘The Signal Bureau and Storms, The great storm that swept over the lakes on the 28th and 29th of September atforded another proof of the utility of the Signal Bureau. Its ap- proach was announced in the morning ‘“Probabill- ties” of the 28th, and on the afternoon of that date the danger became so apparent that cautionary signals were ordered at Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Grand Haven, Milwaukee, Toledo, Oswego and Rochester hours before the storm reached either of these places. The Repeal of Stamp Taxes To-Day. The repeal of so much of the Stamp act as re. quired bonds, mortgages, deeds, &c., to be stamped, and which goes into effect to-morrow, will diminish the revenue $10,000,000. Arrange- ments have been made to redeem all unsold stamps without delay. The Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that on and alter October 1, 1872, no stamps will be required upon checks, drafts and orders, except such ar draw 1 sight or emand 1 pon banks, edit pat at ‘vompanie . He ats | decides that on and after that date no stamps are necessary upon foreign bills of exchange, Taxes on Malt Liquor Dealers. The Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in view of the ambiguity of a portion of section 13 ofthe act of June 6, 1872, imposing special taxes on dealers in malt liquors, and in view of the sup- posed intention of Congress, tas decided that wholesale and retail liquor dealers may continue to sell malt liquors under thetr special tax receipts as such without being assessed as malt liquor dealers, and that the collection of taxcs assessed contrary to that construction shall be suspended until the question can be brought before Congress. Per- sons who gell only malt liquors are Hable only to the special taxes of $20 or $50, according as they are wholesale or retail dealers in malt liquors. “Admiral” O'Keefe at Annapolis—A Col- ored Naval Cadet’s Prosperity. John O'Keefe, the New York aspirant for honors | at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, hag been most cordially received by his classmates, every one welcoming him with hearty grasps of tie hand. It was represented to them how he had struggled to merit appointment, and it was hoped his lowly position would not influence his associates against his honest effort to acquit himself of every duty. On account of his humble birth he is likely, says one of his classmates, to be their recognized leader, Colored Cadet Midshipman Conyers will not fare | le. | so well. Secretary Robeson, however, has given cadets timely warning that if there is any attempt to haze him or disregard the dscipline of the Academy offenders will be looked upon as unwilling to observe the first rule of service—viz., obedience to commands of superiors—and regarded as un- worthy toremain at the Academy. Customs and Internal Revenue Receipts. The first quarter of the dscal year ended to-day, and the receipts from internal revenue foot up | $36,000,000, The Commissioner does not expect the remaining quarters will yleld proportionately, but 1g sanguine that the total for the year will not fall short of one hundred and twenty-five million dol- lars. Throughout the country collectors are en forcing payment of taxes remaining avpaid, which | in some instances have been standing for several years, Nothing is said, hovvever, in relation to the collection of the scrip dividend tax due from the New York Central Ratlrmad Company. ‘The custom receipts are unusualiv large during the quarter, and wil exceed, it is said, fity millon doltars, Insignia Brevet Rank, The War Departraeat having determined that the that ©* ‘ais actual rank, anoMcial order about to bd ‘Sued witl, therefore, contain no provision for the display of such insigata on new uniform.
