[t was no insignificant affair, but a downfight and alarming shaking up all along the Cape Ann coast. Whether it ts the legitimate re- sult of the defeat of Ben Butler or natural conse- quence of the mysterious workings of nature ts leit for the determination of political and scien- tite philosophers. The people, at all events, are very much alarmed, and last evening when the shocks were first felt there was quite a panic among ali classes of the community. The rum- bling and shaking to and fro of the earth was per- ceptible all along the coast, and extended in many | | | curred at about halt-pasr five, the weather at the time being unexceptionably pleasant, the air clear and bracing, the sky perfectly cloudless and the wind was 80 faint as to be scarcely perceptible, With such & combination of the elements the shock and the rumbling were rendered alarmingly | distinct, HERE IN GLOUCESTER iu was very perceptivle and the citizens were terribly frightened, Both wooden and brick buildings were violently rocked to and fro, crock- ery was tumbied around and smashed, doors and windows sprung and everything portable seemed to be more or toss disturbed oy a atange and frightful nepomens. Down at Bay View, at the house of jeneral Butler, the sensation was even more per- ceptivie, and workmen in the gravite quarries thought the final summons had come. Fortu- nareiy the temperament and nerves of the distin: uished Essex statesman were not disturbed, for me weeks ago he abandoiied lus Bay View roat- dence 18 more commodious and comforsable winter quarters in Lowell. His house and grounds, however, came in for their equal share of the gen- eral shaking up; but the damage, if any, will probably not be ascertained until next spring. Up in Danvers and Manchester and other towns in thas- direction, there was the same general experience and alarm a3 here tn Gloucester. Houses were shaken and their movable contents distributed around promiscuously. Men, Women and children, frantic with fear, ran into the streets in all sorts of domestic costumes, and the utmost excitement prevailed everywhere. THE SOUND 1a descriped as having beea & sort of a low but violent roar, which seemed to gather in force and strength until it seemed finally to cniminate in a heavy explosion, then subsiding into wnat ap- peared to be an echo from a distance, the earth meanwhile heaving perceptubly, and ‘causing houses to rock to and fro in & manner no less gracefal than threatening. In the vicinity of Newburyport and Topsficid, and all along that part of Essex there was the same general rumbling of the ‘earth and the same con- sternation among the people. Some of the citi- zens describe tt as t( heavy cannon had been fired in rapid succession; others thought there had been an explosion of @ few tuns of nitro- lycerine over at the oosac_ tunnel, ynen the davger was apparently over a bitter enemy sald that he ‘guessed Ben Butler was biowing up the Merrimac River ob- { | structions, so he could navigate between Newburyport” and Haverhill, Over at West Newbury the shock was very distinct. Major Poore at the time was pack- tag up preparatory to his departure for Washington, and when he heard the noise he thought a locomotive had blown up at the Byfela station. In Beverly the shock was as distinct and severe as at Gloucester. In Salem, only a few miies distant, it ig described as having been very faint. In the first named place stoves were over- thrown and broken, and in one instance a house ‘a6 Set On fire and narrowly escaped destruction, In one of the counting rooms of a Beverly shoe manufactory a large iron safe was precipitated from a platiorm and down a pair of winding stairs, causing, of course, the wildest consternation among the clerks and bookkeepers. THE BELL IN A VILLAGE CHURCH in Rockport was caused to ring by the violent Oscillations of the edifice, and the itightened tn. habitants thought there had beon a powder ex- losfon in the quarrics and that the town had een set on fire, There is no particular coeare to property reported, but the people allalong the Cane Were thoroughly alarmed, and for their for- unate deliverance from a possible violent death hey will unite very hearttly and terveotly in hanksgiving services to-morrow.

AMUSEMENTS. ia Italian Opera=—Mile. Albani as Elisa in “Lohengrin.” It ia to be regretted that Mr. Strakosch was obliged to defer until the end of the season the production of Wagner's grand opera, with Mile, Albani and Signor Uarpt for the frst time in two of the principal rvles, Had the opera been brought | out earlier the apathy of the operatic public migat | have been removed and something like real en- | thusiasm sabstitated. The Academy was‘crowded ‘test night, the audience being the largest of the | entire season. The deep attention pald to the | music by ® considerable proportion of the | audience showed what a hold Wagner and hig school has taken hare, As we have on pre- } vious occasions explained the tendencies of this school and the resnits which must follow its adop- tion it is only necessary here to speak of the per- formance last night. AS might be expected of so capable an artist, endowed with positive magnet- iam in voice, acting and appearance, the Elsa or Mile. Albant was very charming. Her thorough vocal trainiag was shown in this rdle in its brightest Nght. Through the devious “mazes of Wagner's music (and rare skill is re. quired to find one’s way therein) Mije. Al- vant nevers faltered an instant, and, always in time and trae to the tone, her beautiful voice gave universal pleasure, Its thinness of yolume in the lower notes, however, was felt in some pas- sages whore the surge of the otchestra threatened to swamp such @ frail vocal bark. For the intense dramatic passion of Nilsson there was the tender- ness, artiessness and unstudied grace that one would naturally associate with gach acharacter ag Elsa, These attripates were exnibited to the beat possible advantage in the balcony scene of the | second act and in the following duet with Ortrud. In the grand scene with Lohengrin in the bridal chamber, Mile, Albani was no less successful than in the two we have mentioned. | This is a terrible ordeal fora prima donna and tenor, for i¢ seems taterminaple, and there soaroély a broathing space in tt, 4 more liveral ‘use Of the scissors both in this aud other parts of | the opera tight prove of advantage to the com- | poser, the artista and the public, Misa Oary re- | peated last season's remarkable success ia the role of Ortrud, , When it is taken Into considera. } tion that the part has been written for a mezzo- soprane like Lucca, and that some of the music } ‘is beyond the reach of Misé Cary's voice, pan bit Skiful transpositions, as in the | instance’ of the pasatonate cty of Ortrad { when ale contemolates reyenwe on Eilaa in the | cases far into the interior of the country.

From the celebrated swan song, “Merce, merce, bel cigno gentil,” to the farewell to Elsa, ‘Mipuo San Graal se resto ancor,”’ thro the long, trying scenes which are calculated to wreck any tenor voice, Signor Carpi acquitted himself vocaily in the most satisiactcry manner. His acting waa an improve. | Mont on his previous appearances in opera and | Was dignified and Stately, although cold and apa- thetic at times. There was a refresting ease and confidence in his singing, and every note was true and telling—a very unusual circumstance with a representative of the hero of Wagner’s opera, and one that would inciine the hearer to pass over his- trionic defects. Del Puente again gatped high com- mendation for his finished and spirited impersona- tion of Frederick of Tesramand, and deserves to be classed wit the three fine artists woe have re ferred to.

Mrs. Conway’s Theatre. A new Lady Macbeth is always an event of in- terest in dramatic circles, and the assamption of tinction in other paths of dramatic art, attracted alleyes toward Brooklyn last nignt. The hense ‘was crowded with an audience that watched curt- ously and intelligently the progress of the new revelation. AS was foreshad- owed, Miss Morris presented the tair haired pink and’white type as her of thé Lady Macbeth, substituting for the mas- culine impersonations that we ate most accus- tomed toa more womanly ideal. The philosophy ofthe change is based on the proposition that, however depraved & woman may become, some- thing of the softness and tenderness natural to her sex remains, This 1s no doubt quite troe in general; but that it is so in excep- tlonal cases requires to be proved. We have always been accustomed to regard Lady Macteth as a very exceptional person, and would be sorry to accept her asthe typs of a class. If this idea ‘bo correct the attempt to apply general laws toa case which is admitted to be outside their scope Must be a mistake. We imagine that this was sufficiently illustrated last night by tne experi+ ment mi | \ i the stage, and when she failed to do so she | faded from the attention of the audience and | ceased to be Laay Macbeth. The quality of acting which satisfies an audience in the modern drama Will not sufice to rivet attention in the regio if tragedy. In the one case we present emotions; in the other we attempt to picture passions in ‘all their awfal grandeur of good or evil. We tnere- fore look for intensity, vigor and vividness in the plctures which on the modern stage would bot be tolerated. The cause is that we try in the one case to picture men's {souia, while in the other we only geek shadow projections of the men who meet ns and talk to us cvery day. We know them far too well to desire to nave them presented without their hotiday costume. The error that Miss Morris has made 18 forgetting this distinction in some ays of her interpretation, or rather in imaginin, that it would be possible to biend the emotional drama with the severer forms of dramatic | art. We miss the energy and = strength | of will with whioh Miss Cushman endowed her heroine. It was repulsive, but it made us feo! instinctively that such @ woman as she pic- tured could have played the bloody part assigned to her and swayed by her force of character the conscience of herlord. This element of power, } Which 18 so essential to Lady Macheth’s rdve tn the conception. She played so much the woman that we could not recognize in the quiet, unobtrusive women the evil spirit of the bloody plot unrojling before our - eyes. | Want of volume in the tones of the voice told reading, which tn and intelligent. any of the’ roints made showed careiul thought.

In the sleen-walking scene Miss Morris was at her best.

Another great defect .i3 the failure of the Actreas to sink herself in the character she person- ates. It 18, perhaps, Impossivle for humanity to forget acquired mannerism absolutely, but it takes from the value of a dramatic performance when we notice the same business and facial movements phe play in “Macbeth” thut have done service in “Article 47.” Something may be allowed for the nervousness of a first per- (ee but we fear the errors are too radical to | be cured except alter eee acrin ol study. It is, rhaps, uniortunate that Miss Morris should chal- lenge attention in a rdle so dificult when the | performance of a great actress, wao has the ad- | vantages of long ene Of study, has renderea both the public and the critics exacting, but she has herself challenged the conrparison, and must | be prepared to hear the verdict.

Clarke has decided to begin his en- gagement at Booth’s Theatre on next Monday evening not only with his favorite part of Major Wellington de Boots in the “Widow Hunt," but the production of his new dramatic sketoh, “Red Tape.” Thisis an excellent decision, and will stimulate the interest the announcement of his appearance has created.
