Subiect—''Portia.”* NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1874,-TRIPLE SHEET. AMUSEMENTS. Feval’s New Play. The new drama by Pau! Féval is founded on an incident in the conspiracy to depose the Regent, Philippe Orleans. Louis X1V., in bis last days, caused his children by Mme. Montespan (the Duke of Maine and the Count of Toulouse) to ve legiti- mized, and sharers of the succession in case of the Dauphin’s death. By his last testament the Regency was vested Mm @ couneis of nis iliegiti- mate sons and Others, with bis nephew Orleans as Presbdent; this testament the day aiter nia ae- cease Was annulled by the Parliament and Orleans unanimously elected Regent. The Duchess of Maine, granddaughter of Conaé, ambitious to as- sert her power, organized & conspiracy wits the Duke de Cellamare, the Spanish Ambassador, to overcurn this act of the French Parlia- ment and piace Philip V. of Spain at the bead of affairaa Among the conspira- tors Armand, Duc de Richelteu, figured prominently, but on the eve of its execution the plot was discovered, and the principals arrested and imprisoned. The Duc de Richelieu, the hand- somest man of his day, was at this time as cete- brated for his bravery as for his recklessness and unbridled profigacy. When incarcerated in the Bastile for dueling, the women of Paris gathered daily around the old fortress to catch a glimpse of their darling, and he boasted that the most veau- tiful and bigh-born dames were among the vic- tims of his resistiess fascinations. In the plot of this new drama the details of the conspiracy and the Duke’s adventures are so closely interwoven as to present witn its scenic illustrations a picture of Paris and Parisian life in the year 1719. The dual character of Richelieu and Raymond, his bastard brother, will be sustained by Mr. Henri Stuart, an actor of high Parisian reputation, who bas ac- quired @ mastery of our language. Jarrett & Palmer claim that the scenery now being pattie. for “The Hero of the Hour,” will ex- ceed in merit and beauty any ever presented on the American stage.

N. Pattison. ‘The eminent artist selected Mozart as the subject of the close of his bighly attractive and instract- ive musical entertainments, He sketched the life gud characteristics of one of the greatest minds that ever illumined the world of musio with masterly skull, Leaf in apt anecdotes of the early lie of Mozart and happy olts at the neglect and meanness shown toward the immortal com- poser by hiscountrymen. The lecturer’s voice is clear and distinct, and he has evidently made good use of his elocutionary training. The musical se'ections were happily chosen, commenc- ang witb a pihty little thing written by Mozart at the age of four years—a wonderiul instance of precocity. When an accompiisned pianist steps into the lecture field and explains the beauties and characteristics of each work he plays the result may be considered as more satisfactory than a hall dozen ordinary lessons in @ couservatory. Association Hall. Mrs, Fanny Taverne Graham gave one of her dramatic personations and miscellaneous read- ings betore a select and appreciative audience in Association Hall last evening. From the evi- dences she exhibited last night it might well be amMrmed that the encomiums lavished upon her by competent judges, the principals in ladies’ schools and seminaries and other unprejudicea authorities tn other cities, as weil as near at home, are eminently deserved and well bestowed, ‘The prominent features ot last evening's readings consisied of scenes from ‘Macbeth,’ “Tne Let- ter,” “The Murder,” “Tne Sleep-Waiking Scene ;” “The High Tide,’? Jean Ingelow; “The New Church Organ,” Carieton; ‘fhe Lady of Shalott,’’ Tenny- ie “Kitty Malooney on the Chinese Question,” ge. Musical and Dramatic Notes.

Hervé's chef d’ceuvre in opéra boufe, “Chilperic,” will be produced at the Lyceum Theatre vo-night, ‘with Miss Emily Soidene in the title rdle. It was one of the most successful operas brougnt out by Mr. J. Grau in this city six years ago,,when Rose Bell, Desclauses, Carrier and Beckers were in the cast. “Yorick”’ will be withdrawn on Monday to make room ior ‘Sweethearts,” Mr. Gilbert's latest comedy. It is said to be one of the sweetest and Most idyllic compositions of the gifted author. It will probably be presented with two distinct sets of characters by the Fifth avenue company, the younger members appearing in ‘‘spring” and the older members of the company in “autumoa,’’ the two acts into which the play is divided. Mr. John S. Clarke, the comedian, now success- fully performing at Booth’s Theatre, has de- terinined to return to England, and his present engagement will probably be his last for many years in this city. In order to afford opportunity to judge of his great versatility, he will,on Fri- day evening, the occasion o! his farewell benefit give two more of his famous comic imper- sopations, Timothy Toodles and Dr. Pangloss, LL. D., A.S.S8. His last appearance will be on Saturday evening. “IRELAND REVISITED.” Lectare by John Mitchel” at the Cooper Union Last Night—His Opinion of the Home Rule Movement. Last night the large hall of the Cooper Union was filled by an enthusiastic Irish audience, as- sembled to hear John Mitchel detail, in a lecture, his experiences in Ireland during his late visit, When tne chairman of the lecture committee of the Clan-na-Gael appeared on the platiorm leading Mr. Mitchel deafening cheers went up. John Mitchel, the mere shadow of his former self, began with a word of thanks for the ovation ten- dered. He then proceeded to tell how ne had landed in Ireland, how he passed through the country from Queenstown to Beliast and of what he saw in nis travels. He spoke about ‘home rule” and the men who are its representatives. “He said in substance:—‘‘Before I proceed to tell you what 1 think about home rule I will say a few words about the men who are its champions. First, Mr. John Martin ts known to you ashe is to me, as a man of integrity of purpose and honest heart, Mr. Rowan, of Vork, to my knowledge, is one of the best Irish- men and brave gentlemen in Ireland, are also Professor Galbreth, an old tutor of min Cullege, Dublin, and Mr. P. J. Smythe, wh me in One o/ the most trying moments of my life, These men and others, Worthy of the association, go to make up the home rule party as a representa- tive body, and while I concede to them all that is their meed | must beg leave to differ from tnem in opinion, The home rulers go to West- minster, and at the feet of the English Parliament beg for the privileges afforded to men in Scotiand and England, The fact of their having anything to do with the deliberations of the English Parlia- meat leave tnem open to an English sophism, which is proposed in this way :—lIreland has repre- sentation in Parliament, and _ wi Parlta- ment passes laws she cries that she was not consulted, when her representatives were there to see what wag going on. If tnia imputa- tion is to be removed the advice of O'Connell, to refuse to deliberate in Parliament, must be carried into effect, Let the Irish members go to Ireland, or rather not leave It, and consult with themselves and not with their enemics as to what 1 best for their country. It is the provosttion of the home rulers to obtain the establishment (a8 wall be seen from their articles of organiza- tion) of a sort of congress at home to decide questions of local or home interest, When they tell this to Disraeli he will naturaliy say, ‘Who is to decide as to What questions are local and what national? Then they want an extension of the elective franchise, but the government says ‘No, you cannot have that, lor if we accede to ‘our demand we will have ninety instead of sixty ome rulers in the next session of Parliament.’ They want ta raise volunteers to defend their country with, but England will say within hersel(, “Ireland bas no enemy but us, 80 she does not need to defend herseli; we'll defend her.’ The apeaker was gtected With Gpplause at several pma $$$ : aS MAILS FOR EUROPE.
