The Parliamentary effort of the Spanish republi- eans to secure the «attention of His Majesty Amadeus to the question of emancipation of the slaves, in a constitutional manner by introducing an amendment having reference thereto in the Congressional address to be presented in reply to the Throne speech—and which effort has just falled—was caused by the paragraph in the royal Pena wluch referred to tue colonial condition 1s +— The affairs of the colonies have been looked at po my government with the solicitous attention they mertt, In Cuba they have dictated measures called for by the unanimous opinion of its inhab- itants to surmount the monetary crisis and to re- store order In the administration and government Of the province. ‘This work wiil be completed by billa to be presented to you in due time, To make the administration honest, to give vigor and fixed- neas to the action of the government and to cause justice to be done to allin everything will be the procedure necessary to inspire confidence in the country, re-establish calmness in the popular mind and secure the pacitication of the island.

FIRES. —_— + Conflagration in West Thirty-second Street—A Boy Burned to Death and Another Seriously Injured. A few minutes before ten o'clock last night & fire broke out in the two-story frame house 551 West Thirty-second street, occupied by Herman Benning as a lager becr saloon and boarding house, causing a loss of stock of $3,000, on which there was no insurance.

Looking. at the representation of “Faust” lest hight at the Academy of Music, entranced by the magnetism of Lucca’s singing and acting, @ scene that took piace twenty-two years ago was Drought to our recollection. We remember seeing Spohr’s opera of “Faust” at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, in 1850, the occasion being ren- dered specially interesting by the presence of the minent composer, Spohr, who had come over m Hesse Cassel on purpose to superintend ita production and conduct the performances. Even Gosta (now Sir Michael), temporarily abdl- cated his orchestral throne in favor of the re- nowned German master, and everything possible ‘was done to render the opera attractive. There were musical giants and giantesses on earth in those days, aud many of them were then assembled in London for the season. Among the vocalisia were:—Mesdames Grisi, Jenoy Lind, Persianil, Dorus Gras, d'angri, Castellan, Alboni, Mario, Salvi, Tamburtni, Cart Formes, Ronconi, Pischek, Lablache, Martui and Tamberlik, Of these (all then in their zenith), some are dead and others so lost in a kind of sympa- thetic dissolution as regards artistic existence that. Rosaini’s “Mi Manca la Voce” (my voice fails me), or theold men's chorus in Gounod's “Faust’’ are probably the only pieces in which they could now be heard to advantage. Fancy Tamberlik and Mario in the first tenor part of the latter. From the above-mentioned splendid galaxy the cast of Spohr’s “Faust” was selected, Madame Castellan, Tambertik, Giorgio Roncon! and Carl Formes sustaining the principal characters. But, despite the superior beauty of the music, and tne applause bestowed upon the lovely baritone aria, “Liebe ist die zarte Biuthe’’ (Faust is a baritone in Spohr’s opera), the soprano scena, “Ja, ich ftihl’ es treue Liebe; the fine bass air for Mefisto, aud the witches’ choruses, the opera failed to take a permanent hold of the public, in consequence of the clumsily constructed libretto and comparatively small importance attached to the character of Marguerite. We have glanced at the production of Spohr's “Faust” at Covent Garden chiefly to show that music alone, however beautilul, will not insure the success of an opera in the present age, and to explain why one of the greatest of modern com- posers failed in dealing with a subject since so suc- cessfully treated by Monsieur Gounod. It is not so much to his music that the celebrated French com- poser Owes the popularity of his ‘Faust’ as to the fact that his librettist provided him with a leading character in the person of Marguerite, which makes large demands upon the highest order of executive genius, With an efficient Marguerite, Gounod’s “Faust’ must always please; with a great one tt excites enthusiasm. But speaking of Marguerite, her name is legion. In a recent article we mentioned all or nearly all the successful representatives of that deeply In- teresting character who have appeared here and elsewhere. We spoke of them comparatively, the good, the better and the best, and that best is un- questionably Mme. Pauline Lucca. Hers, indeed, is the only truthful portrayal of the part according to the poet's idea, To say that she does justice to M. Gounod’s music would be faint praise, for she raises it into a pure atmosphere of simple truth to which the composer does not seem to desire to soar, She infuses some healthy German iife blood, fresh froma heart fired by Goethean inspiration, {nto the veins of the Gallic muse, who improves under the process. ‘fake for instance the dismal “Es war ein Koenig in Thule,” with its quaint harmonies, Why should the light-hearted German child feel so hopelessly wretched as this mournful ditty, which sounds like some ancient Scandinavian death song or an Irish “keen,’’ seems to imply? Gretchen ts simply dis- turbed in mind. “Ksist mir so, ich weiss nicht wie” (I feel know not how), says Goethe's crea- tion, and M. Gounod immediately intonos the sad- dest of chants. Mme. Lucca, however, with more knowledge of Goethe than M, Gounod, very properly lightens the oppressive effect of this as much as possible by sing- ing it faster and with much less meancholy expres- sion than the composer intended. The samé kind of merit belongs to her immensely joyous and thor- oughly unatiected rendering of the “Air des Bi- joux,” which rather solicits from the singer the small graces and piquant effects of the #rench opéra comique school. Here again Mme. Lucca corrects M. Gounod and surpasses in truthful- ness every other representative of the character. With Madame Lucca, Marguerite, in fine, is the unadulterated child of nature that Goethe drew. No fine lady, truly, no poetical visionary. Would Faust kiss her hand, she tells him, ‘Sie ist so gar- stig ist so rauh.” (It is so dirty and so rough.) Farther she relates how at early morn she had to be at the washing tub, “Und frih am Tage schon am Waschtrog stehn.” When she loves, nothing can be more emphatic than the expression of her .love. Witness the manner in which she takes Faust to her arms and kisses him, exclaiming, “Bester Mann! von Herzen lieb ich dich,” (Bes! of men, I love thee from my heart.) Those who do not understand Goethe may take this to be coarse, ut those who do regard it asthe pure and spon- ancous ebullution of first love, trusting, truthful and beautiful. But in the church scene and the last agonizin; interview with Faust the acting and singing of dame Lucca rise into the regions of sublimity. No one who has ever seen her in these svenes can forget the forceful character of her acting or the voice quivering over with real passion. Owing to the illness—a severe one, too—of Mile. Sanz, the contralto of Mr. Maretzek’s company, Mile. Frida de Gebele, a recognized favorite in New York, undertook the rdle of Siebel at a few hours’ notice, and made avery commendable impersonation of it. Signor Vizzani was taken actually out of a sick bed to play the part of Faust, and he did not dis P paint the expectations of fis manager, ws we could say the same 6f Signor Sparapani as Val- entin, but we cannot. Entire praise is due to the magnificent rendition of the rdle of Mephistopheles vy Jamet, who has so far proved himself one of the best and most reliable artists of the entire troupe. There seems to be something fatal to operatic voices in the present Weather, but Madame Lucca has so far escaped scot free. Her ‘lorious voice was in first class condition last night. Friday evening she essays the rdle of Zerlina in “Fra Diavolo.”” RUBINSTEIN, The incomparable pianist, with his no less great coadjutor, the Polish violinist, Wteniawski, ap- peared at Steinway Hali yesterday afternoon, Beethoven's sonata in D minor, three selections from Chopin, a to age work of Schumann, a walt from Schubert and a transcription by Liszt brought out Rubinstein to the best possible advantage. Wieniawski played two of his very best selections— his own transcription of Gounod’s “Faust” and Paganini’s “Carnival of Venice.” The last con- cert of these two surpassing artists will be given on Friday evening. THE LEOTURE SEASON. Lectare by Mr. W. S. Andrews on Dialect Humor. On Tuesday evening Mr. W.S. Andrews gavea Private rehearsal before a select audience at Weber's Rooms of his new lecture on “Dialect Hu- mor.” Mr. Andrews, @ few years ago, was well enough known to playgoers as a talented and suc- cessful young comedian, and a large section of the Public will be pleased to hear that he has again de- termined to devote himself to their amusement. His lecture consists of a choice collection of anec- dotes illustrating national character, strung to- ether by a not very obtrusive thread of ex plane: jory comments. in turn he assumes the character of an Irishman, Yankee, negro, Scotchman, Yorkshireman and a dozen other varieties of civilized or partially civilized human beings, and .his delineations at once faithful and amusing. He is, inde l- mirable teller of stories, and practically this is the only character he seriously attempts to fill in his lecture. Perhaps, however, the art of rendering successfully gems of humor is as rare and welcome a git to the average audience of the lyceum asa talent for vigorous declamation. There can be ho doubt of Mr. Andrews becoming a very popular feature in future lecture courses. THE MEANEST THIEF.
