But, in ation, the HERALD has never more itself than in ascertaining, and honestly atating the facts, in regard to the greatest religious pilgrimage of modern times, The Liberal Christian (Unitarian) reminds its readers that to-day (Sunday) the Unitarian churches will unite generally in their annual eontribution to the denominational cause, and makes this pertinent suggestion: — * Instead of the hundred thousand dollars we call forth, a quarter of a million would not Salle meet the urgent wants and opportunities of our denom- ination this year; nor would the giving it diminish the comfort or embarrass the bank account of our reds of wealthy constituents. Some of our men have made in our cities twice the sum even in aasingle year. Why should they not consecrate the ‘whole by now giving at least a hundredth part of their to the cause of Christ? Unloose your purse-strings, ye opulent Uni- tarians, and help along your Church! The Jewish Messenger comments upon the eemarks of a Washington correspondent of the Hzratp (‘Semi-occasional’’) on the Jew- ish persecution in Roumania, and continues: — We Israclites must fight this battle alone. We bana any from our fellow citizens, Let ‘his fact and we shall be encouraged to more earnest, more decided action. The Israelites of Europe are creating a public sentiment which wall in time establish for Prince Charles the alter- native of justice to the Jew or abdication of nis ty it is mot unworthy of the leading Chris- England to second and sustain the utter- ances of the Goldsmids and Rothschilds, the Monte- florea und Waleys, the men who are English in nationality and Israclites in faith. But the Is- tes of America must be content to watch and wait and defend themselves and the man whom the President and Senate of the United States to represent Ameiica in Roumania. The Jewish Times, after complimenting the Henatp for its Abyssinian, Livingstone and ‘Cuban expeditions, now wants the Hzraxp to reap new laurels and render a service to humanity and civilization by sending an ex- pedition into Roumania and ascertaining the true state of affairs in that direction. The Catholic Review devotes a large portion of its well-filled space to a description of the celebrated ‘Pilgrimage to Lourdes,”’ full and interesting reports of which have already -appeared in these columns. The Hebrew Leader discourses upon ‘‘The Old and the Modern Jewish Pulpit and Preacher.”’ f ttalian Opera in New York—The Critics q and the Criticised. Audi alteram parlem is a trite but useful phrase. Hear every side is perhaps closer to what the astounding diffsrences of opinion on the operatic company now performing at the Academy would require. From superb to good, from good to indifferent, from indiffexent to bad and from bad to execrable range the various verdicts of the critics. ‘It is an unequal company’’ suits @ great number, because it is vague and non-committal; ‘it is a snap company’ suits another brigade, because it implies that the critic was not consulted when the members were being engaged. Much more difficult would it be to generalize or classify the judgments passed on individual per- formers from the prima donnadown to the big dram man, Asif toinvolveina stygian gloom of doubt those who patronize Italian opera, some carefully written letters are sent to us for publication, which, as they have the single common merit of being representative of what we might term the factious in opinion, we pre- sent in another place to our readers. It wilt be understood that in doing so we decline be- ing held accountable for the extravagances of ‘ny of them. The austere rage of ‘“Musicus’”’ at “the desire to find fault and incapac- ity to judge’ may have much justice in it; but mark how the angry ‘Free Lance’ stabs at the Leonora and Cherubino of Mile. Lucca, and see how the purple life streams of Auber and Mozart follow it. Lucca, says the first, is greater than Nilsson, ‘because the artistic power is more important than mere ‘charm. Lucca does not stand as high as Nilsson in London; she pumps her notes, ays ‘Free Lance,’’ and attacks them even when they are written down cantabile. She has occasional bursts of magnetic force, but she should not arrange her hair before the audience, is his sinister compliment. ‘She is an eagle and ao nightingale,” rejoins *Musicus”’ defiantly, mystically and ornitho- logically. For Miss Kellogg ‘‘Musicus’’ has a good, kind word, tempered with neat con- demnation of her ‘‘defective method,"’ of that cold-blooded kind which a critic enjoys in the approving depths of his self-consciousness. “Free Lance’’ says she was deservedly encored on Friday night, although some appreciated her “pure method’’ by hissing. After reproving the gods he then tells her to act better himself. ‘The rest of the company ‘Musicus’’ thinks evidently not so bad as they might be, all things considered, and from this and the difficulty of obtaining perform- ets, on which ‘Viator’ dwells so pathetically, he thinks New York not so badly treated after oll. ‘‘Musicus,’’ when he says “there seems to be a parti pris with regard to certain artists,’ some to be praised beyond measure, others to be abused beyond human endurance, reaches an undoubted source of much of the evil of this disordered criticism. The daring which attacks a great composer may be excused for swooping down on a per- former without many friends. Apart from the ignorance of some critics ‘and the merits of the performers actually be- fore us, the question of supply and demand in the vocal market is one that will interest a great many. ‘‘Viator’s’’ information points to the difficulty of procuring a complete first class company as arising not only from the high prices demanded, but from the scarcity of the highly-finished article. “«Fgee Lance,” as though about to plunge into some fiery fray, from which he never hopes to return alive, asks in frenzy, ‘‘Must we sit through performances where the scores have been previously mutilated that they may The the more readily murdered by so-called artists?’’ ‘‘Viator’’ responds that the compe- tition for talent forbids perfect ensemble. A manager, he says, cannot train his company sufficiently; he is hampered iby* ‘the sharcholders, and so on. We do not think the case is so bad on the one hand as “Free Lance” insists it is, or so hopeless of reform as ‘Viator’ would lead us to believe, The great fact to be borne in «mind by managers and singers is thaf New York will pay the best price for talent, and that no second rate article can pass current here as first rate. If Lucca has been pretty gen- ierally praised, Kellogg and Jamet moderately landed and the remainder offered up as vica- rious victims on the altar of criticism, it bears its lesson. No matter what the discordance of opinion, the grade we have marked is that on which, in varying terms, the press and the public have placed the artists. With these few admonitions the triad of letters will be found well worth reading. NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1872—QUADRUPLE SHEET. The Irish Question—Father Burke on Proude. The discussion of the relations between Ire- Isnd and England which Mr. Froude inaugu- rated has not been closed by the skilful plead- ing of the English historian. We have already in these columns commented on the peculiar morality, of which Mr. Froude proclaimed him- self the exponent and admirer, with the judi- cial impartiality which becomes an independ- ent American journal. The objections which we raised to the doctrines of brute force enunciated by Mr. Froude were based on the broad principles of justice and human rights. As American freemen, acknowledging no right in rulers save what is conferred by the will of the people, we refused to accept baseless theo- ries of national superiority as a justification of oppression. We affirmed the right of every people to choose that form of government best suited to their temperament and their wants without interference from any other people. But we left to the Irish people the task of disproving the charges made against them. At the request of a number of influential Irish citizens Father Burke, the distinguished Dominican orator, has undertaken to deliver a course of lectures at the Academy of Music in this city in reply to Mr. Froude in order to place the other side of the picture clearly before the American people. Father Burke will bring to the subject ripe knowledge and rare cloquence, and the case of Ireland will not suffer from any lack of ability in her defender. The facts as well as the deductions by which Mr. Froude attempted to substantiate his special pleading in favor of English rule in Ireland will be attacked. The reply will be based on the best historical evidence, drawn not from prejudiced English State papers only, but from every source from which light can be let in on the subject. For the convenience of the American public Father Burke will adopt Mr. Froude's division of the historical periods in order to refute his arguments and endeavor to show the unsoundness of his general deduo- tions. Father Burke is devoting all his time to the careful preparation of the lectures, and has already made arrangements for the publi- cation of the course simultaneously with tho delivery of the concluding lecture. The American people will listen calmly to what has to be urged in favor of Ireland; for, how- ever some among us may worship power, the nation’s sympathies will always be found on the side of the weak and oppressed. Tae Frencn Leaw.artve Assempiy Szs- ston.—The members of the National Assembly of France will reassemble in session, after the recess adjournment, at Versailles to-morrow. The occasion will be of very great importance to the Republic as it is, and for the system of rule which may prevail within the emanci- pated territory in the future. President Thiers’ message may be a very serious utter- ance. It is intimated, however, that the aged Chief of State will endeavor to be non-com- mittal in his magisterial expression. Political party feeling runs high in France, as will be seen from the statement which we supply to our readers elsewhere, so that the more skilful leaders in the legislative debate may endeavor to extort from M. Thiers a personal definition of his opinion as to the public condition which may ensue in the country after his decease, provided he still holds to the idea of a life term tenure of office.

Herald Special Report from Paris. Suspension of Payment by the Concern and First Causes of the Monetary Collapse. Hope of Resumption and of a Part Pay- ment of the Liabilities. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the capital of France: — Pants, Nov. 9, 1872. A rumor prevailed in financial and com- mercial circles at an early hour of tho fore- noon to-day -to the effect that the house of Bowles Brothers, American bankers, Paris, had suspended’ payment. CONFIRMATION OF THE REPORT AND CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE. Inquiries which wore made as to cause, during the early moments of the afternoon, resulted in the attainment of a Imowledge of the fact that Messrs. Bowles’ failure is attributed to delay in receiving from America a remittance on bills cashed by them in Europe. The members of the firm hope that the house will be able to resume business and pay seventy-five cents on the dollar. At the same time it is asserted that a large portion of the capital has been carelessly expended. THE DRAFTS HELD BY AMERICANS TRAVELLING ON THE CONTINENT. It is believed that arrangements have been made with Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co., in favor of Americans now on the Continent who are travelling with and on the faith of Bowles’ letters of credit.

MUNICIPAL PAGEANT AND CITIZEN HONOR TO THE GUILDHALL SHOW. The annual metropolitan procession, in celebra- tion of Lord Mayor's Day, was in complete progress through the streets of the city at the hour of two o’clock in the afternoon; the members of the muni- cipal cortege and @ multitude ot sight-seers enjoy- ing fine weather despite some slight indications of a gathering fog, which it is thought will settle down unpleasantly during the evening. STREET LIGHTS AND JUDICIAL “SWEARING IN.” Thousands of spectators were congregated all along the line of march of the popular civic show from its first advance from the “City” to West- minster. The procession went west through the Poultry, Cheapside, round the eastern and southern sides of St. Paul’s Cathedral, down Ludgate Hill, along Fleet street, through Temple Bar, and so on by way ofthe Strand and Charing Cross to Westminster Hall. After the ceremony of swearing in the city officers had been performed in presence of the Barons of Her Majesty's Court of Exchequer the return to Guildhall was by the new route’of the Victoria Em- bankment, Queen Victoria street, and so ou to the termination.

Preparation for the Parliamentary Reassemblage of the Assembly. M. Thiers’ Message—Bourbonist Sentiment for Reaction—Condition and Policy of the Parties—Fire-Damp Explosion, with Fatal Effects. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Panis, Nov. 9, 1872. The National Assembly will reassemble at Ver- sailles on Monday, when it is expected that M. Thiers’ message will be read. The government will make no suggestions whatever in relation to the Proposed Electoral law, but will leave the entire subject to the Assembly. Fitty members of the Assembly belonging to the party of the Right to-day visited the Count de Cham- bord. MPORTANT PROCEEDINGS AT HAND, A canvass of the existing political situation ieads tothe conclusion that the proceedings of the legisla- tive body will be very animated and of serious import to the interests of the French people. It is asserted by some that, now that the deputies are about to meet, their first duty should be to appoint a Vice President or a council of some sort, upon whom, by act of the legislature, the government of the country would devolve in the event of any- thing happening to the President, M. Thiers does not, it 1s alleged, encourage this idea, because the very name of a successor implies that some day ‘or other his own rule may terminate, while it de- Prives him of that power of resignation, which, used a8 @ menace, is so efficient a weapon in the Assembly. Again, the fact that the Right deny that France is a. republic should not prevent them from voting for a Vice President, ‘They voted for M. Thiers as Presi- dent, They can always, it is sald, ease thelr con- sclences afterwards by signing proclamations tothe Count de Chambord, ending ‘Vive le Roi!” As for the monarchists who are now ‘“ conserva- tive republicans,” and who, to judge by their past, may be anything that their own interests and those of their country may hereafter seem to demand, they cannot plead their princi- ples as @ reason why they should not unite either with the Right or Left in choosing a Vice President, while the Left have every inducement to do 80, because it is another nail driven into the coffin of monarchy. Each party imagines that its chances will improve with time. The imperialists trast to the chapter of accidents and blunders of the government to improve their position, and in the meantime are not idle in pushing their propa- ganda in the army. The legitimists desire time be- cause they believe in all the prophecies about “the great Pope and the great King,” and they are con- vinced that religious wars are pending in Europe which will end ia the triumph of the Church and the restoration of the head of the Bourbons. The radicals, of course, want time; the results of the elections hitherto have proved that they are the only people who have really gained by it; and the “conservative republicans” want time because they want to make money, and appear, as we are told, the chief men of the great party in France influenced by patriotism only, THIERS AND GAMBETTA, The Bien Public (ministerial organ) in its issue this afternoon denies a report now current in Paris, that an interview has taken place between President Thiers and M. Gambetta, or that there has been any agreement upon the difference be- tween the two statesmen on constitutional ques- tions. FIRE-DAMP EXPLOSION WITH HEARTRENDING RE- SULTS. A shocking accident occurred yesterday in a coal mine at the village of Monceaux, in the De- partment of Soane et Loire. While the miners were at work an explosion of flre-damp took place, causing the death of thirty-eight of them.

THEODORE THOMAS? SYHPHONY CONCERT. -aphmeriiaeeeatee That Steinway Hall should be crowded last evening on occasion of the return of the mag- nificent orchestra of Theodore Thomas was & tribute to musical merit to be expected from such an intelligent and liberal public as that of New York. Mr. Thomas has, after years of toll and per- severance, succeeded fully in organizing a body of musicians capable of interpreting any work of art that may be placed before them, no matter what its intricacies might be. They gave an evidence of this last evening. The overture to “Iphigenia in Aulis,” by Gluck; Beethoven's seventh symphony; “Wotan’s Abschied,” by Wag- ner, and Liszt's “Mephisto Waltz’’ certainly pre- sent variety enough fora single programme. The opening overture was a welcome reminiscence of an old school which, in its time, was considered in the tight of an innovation, and by the contempo- raries of the composer pretty much in the Nght of musical communism. He was, per- haps, the first that attempted to introduce dramatic effect in music, The symphonic drama that held the boards before his time yielded to his vigor- ous efforts to delineate scenes, characters and pas- sion by means of musical sounds. Few orchestras can be found at the present day capable of inter- preting his works intelligibly. The clear, broad Phrases, simple as they may seem at sight, contain & mine of sentiment and expression that mere ex- ecutive ability is not suficient to develop. With the band of Mr. Thomas each phrase of this noble old music receives such an in- terpretation as did the scenes of the classi- cal tragedies from Rachel or Ristori. At times there was some impetuosity in tempo, and expres- sion inconsistent with the calm majesty of the introduction to the dark history of Orestes; but it was the same fault that may be found in Rubin. | stein's interpretation of a Beethoven concerto. Power, when one has the consciousness of possess- ing it toan eminent degree, is not always kept under complete control, and calmness of style is not Reta attainable in certain works by many a great artist, or body of great artists, as in the pre- “ Sgeberaas f th le performance of the symphony was simpl: perfect, The balance of tone Mn this wondertil orchestra is so nicely poised that the hearer forgets the vartety of tone in the general effect, as in the contemplation of an exquisite piece of art as a pic- ture or statue. There is no preponderance of the brass instruments over the strings, and the reeds blend with their companion tones in producing a perfect ensemble. Wagner's work was given for the first time. It isan excerpt from the “Trilogy,” that extraordinary work, which the composer declares will effect a complete revolution in musical drama. It is to be produced next Summer at Bayreuth, in Bavaria, and the performance will occupy three evenings. The selection in question is the parting between the god Wotan and his daughter Brunhilde. As @ specimen of really good counterpoint and deep thought, limning with master touches the various passions agitating the breasts of the dramatis persone, ‘“Wotan’s Abschied” may always be listened to with delight. The modulations and harmonies produce the same effect that melody themes do prac opera, Of course, as an illustration of the grandeur of “The Ring of the Niebelungen,” it is as if we would be called upou to judge of the Basilica of St. Peter's from one of the eautiful mosaic specimens of its Scoring, The Mephisto Walta is one of the wildest of Liszt’s mad creations. One thing may be said about it, and that is equivocal commendation for. a work, It is unnaturally dimicult. The composer, in his praiseworthy desire to infuse a satanic character into the work, plays the d— mischief) with all known laws of music, e are willing to .become a convert to Wagner, on account of the really grand ideas that peavade his works, but Liszt, as an or- chestral composer, is rather too much. His ideas seem to run riot when hesees “in his mind's eye,” @ grand orchestra, but they assume the phase of musical poser Nothing.can be more dram- atic or effective than. Mendelssohn's descriptisn of the witches’ revel in “The Walpurgisnacht,"? or the incantation scene of “Der Freyschutz,”’ But even if Mephisto plays a fiddle we don’t want him to play all sorts of discoras and unmusical sounds, Music, legitimately considered, is capable of painting the most terrible subjects as well as the most beautiful. What could be doue with such a composition was done by the orchestra of Mr. Thomas, ‘The only solo feature in last ntght’s concert was the first appearance of Mr. George L. Osgood, a young Boston tenor, who has studied for many years in Germany, He proved no exception to the rule that those who treat the voice like any other musical instrument sacrifice purity and swect- ness of tone to mere rugged deolamatory por Mr. . Osgood’s voice owes to nature much of its strength and clearness, and to the school in which it has been trained still more of the hardness and stiffness that mars every- thing he sings. His selections were particularly unfortunate. In the first place he essayed an aria with recitative, from one of Mozart's operas, “Belmonte and Constanze,” in which the defects of his vocal training were eminently noticable. Then he sang five of Lenan’s poems rendered into music by Schumann, which demanded of the ginger the same wealth of talent as does “The Carnival” of the same composer ofa pianist. A florist can ar- Tange a bouquet or nosegay of different flowers so as to present what might be termed a work ot art. So did Rubinstein in placing in a musical bouquet the twenty-two little themes of Schumann, and so did not Mr. Osgood with the poems of Lenan. More than a month will pass away before the public of New York can listen. jain to the incomparable orchestra of Theodore Thomas, and it is to be regretted that during this time they will be wasting their sweetness on the desert air of the provinces, OPENING OF THE SEASON, Twenty-second Regiment Promenade Concert—A Brilliant Assemblage at the Armory in Foarteenth Street. The gallant Twenty-second, which has already won a well deserved place high in the estimation ot the commuaity as among the first of our citizen corps, last night inaugurated their reguiar Winter series of promenade concerts in the most brilliant manner, A large and fashionable assembly thronged the armory at an early hour, and during the intervals between the music amused themselves by prom- enading ana inspecting the various company ‘ rooms.
