jand his many thousand friends will welcome him to his old chair with a joy that will be tem- pered with regret that he ever left it.” This is speaking one word for the Philosopher and two for hia opponents. There is at present no city in the world which contains so many diplomatists as Rome in conse- uence of the double representation kept up by early all the governments of Europe, and the ques- ‘tion of lodging is no less important to them than jto simple mortals. The price of apartments has salmoat doubled, and the other necessaries of life have become dearer in the same proportion. Rome 18 consequently now one of the dearest sities in Europe to reside in. LAST NIGHT°S CONCERTS. ———+___ ‘There were two musical events last evening—one ‘at the Academy of Music, the other at Steinway ‘Hatt, Both were pretty well attended, showing ‘that the New York public are prepared to patronize ‘Qll that is promising in the musical line. In neither ‘case were they disappointed, or to modify this statement, there were features in the two concerts suficiently attractive to satisfy the people present, At the Academy Mrs. Winterburn gave a concert. ‘This lady has been heretofore favorably known to the New York concert-goers as Miss Charlotte /Hutohings. She has also made a very enviable im- pression in oratorio. She had last evening the as- sistance of Thomas’ orchestra, a feature strong enough to insure a good house. The fifty mem- bers of this unapproachable band were in full dress ‘and as obedient to the baton of their leader as ever (Mustard Seed and his companion spritea were to ‘the beck of Titania, The “Tannhauser” overture, the lovely scherzo from “The Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the ever-welcome “Oberon” overture and ‘Lisat’s “‘Racoksy March’’ were delivered as only a combination of solo artists could deliver them. (Mr. Walter, a young violinist from Europe, played Spohr’s magnificent concerto in D minor, a work jwhich has been too much neglected here, probably in account of the difficulty of getting an orchestra c ybable of sustaining the soloist. Mr. Walter dis- Played the qualities of a good artist, with a true, jWell sustained, if not always sympathetic tone, correct execution, although at times his phrasing (as not defined in that sharp, clear manner one jwould desire, and a certain ease of style that carried him through with a degree of success that few of our violinists can now boast of. ‘Mrs. Winterburn essayed some very ambitious se- ctions, the principal ones being “Lascia ch’io janza,” by Handel, and ‘Ocean, Thou Mighty (Monster,” from “Oberon.” In neither was she successiul. Her voice has become uncertain in tone, so as to give the idea that she does not sing in tune. It has also lost the pure sympathetic quality that once delighted the hearer. We can only account for this change by the ill-advised ttempt to change a naturally beautiful contralto oice into @ mezzo soprano, or rather high so- prano. mite Bonaw!tz introduced two of his own or- chestral works at Steinway Hall—a symphony in A minor and a scherzo with introduction for piano and orchestra. Both works bear upon them the impress of a thorough musician and @& rofound thinker. There are reminiscences here and there, but the neral construc- ition shows originality and boldness, tempered ‘with clear musical ju ent. Mr. Bonawitz also played three solos from the works of Mozart, Liszt and Chopin, which placed him, as an artist, in a very favorable light. Mrs. fzora Elder, @ very charming local artist, made an unwise selection of the garden scene from “Faust,’’ commencing with the “King of Thule” and ending with the jewel song. {ter Lucca in opera, this selection, with a bun; ling piano accompaniment, only excited regret he mind of a musician that an artist like Mrs. der should forget the hmits of the concert room fnd vainly essay what was beyond her powers. Mr, ben's orchestra was engaged for this occasion. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. When one remembers that every Englishman prides himself on his French pronunciation the floundering of London critics over the names of Hervé’s operas is amusing, Especially has “L’Cil Crevé” been too much for the daily press. The Welegraph calls it “L’Eil Créve’ through the Whole length of a critique; the Standard ventures on “L'il Crevé.” As for the average Englishman he is perplexed inextricably in getting the title of the piece and varies the name according to taste and education. “Yule Creeve’ is a favorite form; Oil Crevice” is strongly defended and there, are orthoupists who assert that the legitimate pronun- ciation has an affinity with “Kel Gravy.” “Barbe Bleue” is now running at the Olympic and will close the present season of the opéra boufe company at that theatre. Mile. Aim¢e makes a striking “‘Boulotte,” and Juteau as “Barbe Bleue” §s pleasant, if not strong. Tt is now said that Mr. Wheelock is to play Romeo to Miss Neilson’s Juliet. This isa change from a heavy to a light weight. Miss Neilson, the distinguished English actress, Who is to appear at Booth’s Theatre on Monday cvening, November 18, as Juliet, 4 Shakspeare’s tragedy, is spoken of by the London press as an artist of rare ability. She played this part at her first appear- ancein London in 1865, and she has since played the character nearly five hundred times at Drury Lane, Princess’, Lyceum and Queen’s theatres, and {o the principal provincial towns in England. Fhere is now no Juliet on the American stage, and ‘ef English actresses the London Times declares that Miss Neilson is the one who best understands the part, and that none can give greater force to the scenesin which frequenters of the playhouse look for marked effect. A strong poetic feeling, a perfectly natural embodiment and an impassioned elocution are among the qualities she brings to bear upon the interpretation, In the balcony scene and fn the soliloquy in the fourth act she is said to be especially strong. A thorough artistic Julietisa character not seen in this city for years, and Miss Neilson’s appearance is, therefore, an event of great dramatic significance. ' One of the funniest incidents of the late cam- paign was the appeal of the friends of the Hon. B. S. Cox for the votes of the theatrical profession On the ground that he procured the repeal of the fax on theatres; and even Mark Smith declared that he would use his influence with his brother factors in behalf of Cox. So we see the drama is at jest becoming an element in politics. Madame Lucca has written a letter to the editor of the Berlin Fremdendiatt in which she repels the pecusation that she left the German capital from pe- ‘puniary motives. She adds:—“I took all the steps I rould to be released from my engagement; my fers were rejected. I am inconsolabie for this, be- use it closes Berlin to me, but nothing can alter yny determination. My honor as an artist is too deeply wounded, and the clique opposed to me too fnscrupulous in the choice of its weapons, for me \ngain to expose myself to insults against which no pne can protect me. May I beg you, therefore, my ear sir, to convey my warmest and most sincere thanks to my dear Berliners for ali their love and Kindness, We can never forget each other, but = war 80 schin und musste doch vergehn.’"” Now that the political struggle is over, a friendly ‘contest in art commences in the concert room. @heoaore Thomas and his incomparable orchestra ‘Mlumine Steinway’s on Saturday night, the pro- gramme being especially interesting, as present- ing novelties as well as standard works.

Havana, Nov. 4, 1872, Another engagement between the Spanish troops and the insurgents has taken place at Viamones, in the Central Department. The information first reached here under a tele- gram of the Ist instant from Brigadier Gene- ral Portello. THE INSURGENTS ACTIVE IN THE YEGUAS. He says that, understanding the enemy were again in force in the zone of the Yeguas, he ordered Major Macias to collect his forces and make a reconnoissance in the direction of San Geronimo, The available troops consisted of the Cadiz guerillas and First battalion of Order, belonging to the line of observation along the Trocha. r General Portelto, -on his departure for Magarabomba, having learned that a num- ber of TELEGRAPH POLES HAD BEEN OUT DOWN between that place and Yeguas, proceeded with his command to Yeguas, whence had already departed a column of Spanish troops, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Lorenzo, in pursuit of the enemy. Macias returned to San Geronimo, but, upon being informed that Colonel Lorenzo's column had gone after the insurgents, HASTENED TO UNITE FORCES with Lorenzo, which he effected on the 28th and 29th ultimo. It was ascertained that the insurgent force numbered between four hun- dred and five hundred men. When last heard from they were moving toward Trinidad. It was at once resolved to press them, and on the morning of the 30th they were encountered at Viamones. Here A BLOODY COMBAT TOOK PLACE, resulting, General Portello claims, in the rout of the insurgents with considerable loss. The Spanish troops, he says, killed forty-three of the insurgents, principally with the machete, among them a captain. Their own loss is stated to be four wounded and one bruised. A prisoner furnished the information that the band was under the command of Suarez and Pepilllo Gonzalez, the Venezuelan.

Havana via Key West, Nov. 6, 1872. Under dates of Yeguas, November 4, and Puerto Principe, November 6, the Heratp Cuban Commissioner, A. Boyd Henderson, telegraphed to the Hxnarp correspondent at this point as follows: — Yeavas, Nov. 4, 1872. “An escort of twelve cavalrymen, com- manded by Ensign Agtiero, accompanied myself and Doctor Lorenza, of Puerto Principe, from the latter city to Yeguas, where we arrived on the 31st ult. The news of the bat- tle of the 30th had reached there and I I became very ANXIOUS TO PUSH ON. I found Lieutenant Colonel Lorenza in command of a column of 400 men and im- mediately left with his forces, which were about to start for Divorcio, forty-two miles off, but as yet we have seen NO SIGNS OF THE INSURGENTS. On the 2d inst. I started for Viamoncs, the battle-ground of the 30th, having been fur- nished a horse by Commanding General Fajardo, ‘Zhe authoritigs put no obstacle in the way of my leaving for the insurgent camp.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Ciry OF MEXICO, Nov. 1, 1872—Via FRAVANA, The election for President of Mexico resulted ia the almost unanimous choice of Lerdo de Tejada. The votes against him were few and scattering. A programme of the course the President pro- poses for himself has been made public and may be condensed into this phrase:—“Little politics and much administration.” During a few days past the President has ceased to exercise any of the extraordinary powers with which he was in- vested, PORFIRIO DIAZ SUBMITS TO THE GOVERNMENT. Porfirto Diaz has sent in his own submission to the government and the surrender of the forces under hia command.

Private correspondence, however, represents that the friends of the plan urged by General Rosecranz are hopeful that they will be ultimately successful. The road projected by Mr. Plumb seems to be preferred because it will make @ direct line to the United States and will bea broad gauge road, What will be the result of the strug- gle can only be conjectured.

Boston, Nov. 7, 1872, The terrible murder, discovered here yesterday, {2 which an unknown men was found floating in Charles River, one-half of his body in one barrel and one-half in another, is still shrouded in mys- tery. Neither has the unfortunate victim been identified, nor ia there any clew or suspicion of the assassin. He must have beem most determined in his hellish work, for the mutilated pieces of the body are hacked and bruised in the most horrible manner, CHARACTER AND EXTENT OF THE WOUNDS. It is probable from the character of the wounds that they were made by a small, common chopping @xe, as the gashes made are quite small. That the murderer must have been frenzied by fear or passion is evidenced bythe inaccurate aim of his weapon, which hacked away in a most bungling manner in separating the several parts of the body from each other, Hundreds, if not thousands, have viewed the re- mains to-day, but no one has been able to identify them, A malformation of the nasal organ, either at birth or by some wound previous to death, has rendered it of a peculiar crooked form, bending prominently to the right side, and this may fur- nish a clew to the identification of the body, ANOTHER POSSIBLE CLEW is the fact that in one of the barrels which con- tained the remains was found this morning a scrap of paper, with the address “M. Schouller, Esq., 1,049 Washington street, Boston, Mass,” plainly written, and in the same barrel were the frag- ments of an old and worn billiard table pocket. In one of the coat pockets was a number of bal- lots of the Tenth ward, and as none of them were issued until Tuesday morning it is clear that tho murder was not committed until after that time.

It is betiev lishment, and he, of course, cannot identify the body of the murdered man. FIRST THEORIES OF THE TRAGEDY. There are numerous theories as to the tragedy and the victim, but in the absence of any identifi- cation of him they are of very little consequence. {t is certain, however, that the murdered man Was a gentleman of some standing and wealth, if anything can be judged by his clothing and general appearance. The presence of a gold watch is the most singular feature of all, for it seema hardly probable, if the murder had been committed for robbery, this would have remained untouched, Probably the tragedy is either the consequence of an old grudge or the result of some angry dispute, and the cutting up and subsequent disposition of the remains was of course simply to conceal the fact of the murder itself. Tn this respect the affatr is not altogether differ- ent from the Webster-Parkman tragedy, and it may yet turn out that both the murderer and the murdered are men of as much distinction as they were. Whatever the cause, the motive or the manner of the tragedy, it is probable that none save the victim and his assassin were present, for if there had been an assault of a serious nature of which others than the participants were cog- nizant, that fact must have come to the police, THE CLOTHING was nearly demolished in the mutilation of the body. The pants were cut in twain, the coat was hacked in two pleces, and the shirts cut into shreds. The clothing, except the undershirt, which was of coarse material, and the stockings, which were old woollen ones, betokens a de- gree of gentility, while the look of the face, cleanly shaved, with whiskers neatly trimmed and complexion devoid of any appear- ance of great exposure, betokened other occupa- tion than that of the common laborer, The boots were well made, calfskin ones, the coat is evidently custom-made, while the vest and pants were nearly new, and of good material, The cheeks and forehead of the murdered man are covered with bruises. This would seem to in- dicate an agray of fisticuffs before it grew fatally desperate, and also that the deep cuts which pene- trated the skull at the back and on the left side were made when the battle grew furious, and with the same instrument that so roughly chopped of the head and legs. : The event has caused ‘THE GRRATEST EXCITEMENT in and around Boston, and the public are anxiously awaiting the result of the labors of the detectives.

It is not knowm whether the wound ts serious or not, as his come - rades bore him of with them in their retreat. Jonathan Waters, a colored democrat, was shot im the hand, but not seriously wounded, The democrats all agree that it was a deliberate attempt to mur- der Waters because of his sentiments, The-negroes charge, on the other hand, that it was within severp or eight minutes of the hour for closing the pollg, - and that the white men crowded in such @ com- act mass before the window that it was impossible for them to put in their votes.

On Thursday last an elderly couple, apparently for- eigners, and quite respectable in dress and all out- ward circumstance, took a lodging in that neigh- borhood, stating that they had just arrived from the Continent, and wished the accommodation for @ week only. They spent Thursday and Friday in @ manner that could excite suspicion of no sinister yore. But on Saturday morning the landlady found the doors of their rooms fast locked, and caused them to be broken open. In an easy chair, reclining comfortably enough, with a wl over her head, sat the woman—the elder of pair—dead; and the man lay at the ie length on the floor, clutching in his rigid grasp a vial that bore the deadly inscription of “strychnine,” The doubie suicide must have been planned and carried out with a deliberation alto- ie marvellous, A heap of blackened ashes in he grate showed how every vestige of writing, every cine to identity, had been carefully de- stroyed; an unsigned note on the table stated that the five or six pounds ye. beside it were to be expended in burying the bodies and in compen- gating the iandiady; avd the man had bound around his jaws and over nis head a ieathern et the woman a pocket handkerchief, et there is no clue to the identificaticn of the suicides, and Probably none will ever be found.—ZLondon Tvle- graph, CHOLERA IN ST.
