TELEGRAPHIC NEWS From All Parts of the World. ‘ THE EASTERN DANGER. Reforms Which Russia Will De- mand of the Porte THE ANGLO-AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE. —>— A Rumored Uprising Poland. in MORE TROOPS FOR ENGLAND. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Lonpon, Nov. 16, 1876, A moody willingness to accept the natural course wf events now gecms to actuate the citizens of the British capital to say less and even think less about the war cloud than for weeks past, Every subter tage which diplomacy could invent has been tried, tnd all with equal non-success. The énnut of doubt has worried the patience of the entire British Min- try. The grit of the Czar seems equally firm. The »minous slyness with which Russia has been arm- ing and organizing and the fact that an imperial order was promu'gated yesterday prohibiting the sxport of horses trom Western and Southern Russia augurs immediate action in the North. One apparently trustworthy report veems to point to an immediate concentration of the Russian Army of the Vistula, which will be reinforced by the Imperial Guards, as announced by the HERALD several days ago. This is simply the massing of the army in the vicinity of Poland, in order that no seeds of insurrection can be sown there before Rassia is ready to strike. IMPENDING UPRISING IN POLAND, An explanation for the movement of the troops is found in the fact that intelligence has just reached London from Warsaw that there exists great fear of an uprising in Poland. The government has posted placards about the streets of that capital prohibiting any gathering of the people. The Financier goes s0 far as to say that a state of sicge has been prosiaimed in Poland. Has England ceased investing in Sucz * canals and Turkish bonds in order that she may pot her money where it will do the most good? RUSSIA'S STRENGTH, The force which Russia will mobilize, in accordance with the recent ordinance, numbers 195,292 intantry, 26,788 cavalry and 624 rifled breech loading cannon. The rifles areofthe American Berdan pattern, Be- eause of tho stato of the weather military mon esti- mate that at least a month will bo required before the abovo force can be concentrated on tho Pruth, DANGEROUS PROPOSITIONS, The Political Correspondence of Vienna publishes a letter from its St. Petersburg correspondent which summarizes the reforms Russia intends to demand of tho Porte as follows: — First—The disarmament of the entire population of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Bulgaria without distinction ‘of creed, 5 Sccond—The abolition of irregular troops. Third—Thé transfer to Asia of the Circassians scttica in Europe. Fourth—The language of the country to bo intro- duced in the public offices and tribupals, Fifth—A native Christian to be appointed Governor by the porte in cach province, and tue appointment of @ permanent commission of supervisors composed of he Consuls of the Great Powors. ENGLAND ACTIVE. Meanwhile England is not inactive, Hor Majesty’s ship Bullfinch sailed trom Halifax for Bermuda yester- day. The troop ship Tamar is now en route from Bermuda to Halifax with the Ninety-seventn regiment. Thence sho will convey the Eighty-seventh regiment to Bermuda to succeed the Ninety-seventh, and will then convey tho Twentieth regiment and Sixtioth Rifles to England. CONCOCTING A CONFRRENCE. From Constantinopio comes the report that all the Powers are in accord respecting the Conierence, which is expected to begin its session at the end of the pres- ent month—if it ever docs. Tho Porto offered many objections totho terms of the Conlerence, but its ad- hesion was finalty foreed by urgent representations from England, A favorable teply of Austria to the English plan of conferenco was despatched yesterday from Vienoa to London, TUE REPORTED AXGLO-AUSTRIAN ALLIAXCR, The reported action of Engiand ta communicating to the Austrian Minister in London, Coust Von Beust, she ulterior designs of Rwesia, ted a tipple of excitement. Such an alliance would ye eminently fatisfactory to Englishmen, and whey can only regret that the report docs tot find some confirmation. Th@ theory upon which she news is based 18 a good one; but in London there (a considerable fear that the thoory was originated first and the news mado to suit it afterward. The Neue Frei Presse, of Vienna, bas an ingenious (not ingen- wous) record. DISCOUNTING THE DISASTERS. The London underwriters are striving to discount in advance tho losses incident to war in the East, The rates have been raised to five shillings on the £100 (twenty-five cents on $100) for risk of capture on Steamers now loaded or loading in Russian ports. This, of course, chiefly applies to Black Sea ports, as all ber Baltic harbors are full of ice. The insurance companies might a8 well speculate a trifle on the event as other commorctal corporations who are ba7- ig.up “shoddy” milis and camp equipments. GERMANY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE, ‘A most trastworthy correspondent telegraphs from Paris that Germany positively refuses to participate in the Exhibition of 1878, THE PRESIDENT OF THE ITALIAN SENATE. King Victor Emmanuel has appointed Signor Feccbio President ot tno Italian Senate. FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES. Tho toxt of Minit Washburno’s letter to Duke Decazes, the French Foreign Min closing the sorrespondence in regard to the Du Sommorard affair, was published yesterday. The lotter is an excocdingly tordial one, Minister Wasbburne tenders the Duke personal thanks for his friendly action in tho matter. TERRIDLE MARINE DIBASTER. The British steamer City of- Manchester, from Liver- fool for Calcutta, sunk yesterday, off Akyab, in the Bengal Prosidency, Indio, All hands, except the cap- tain and steward, are supposed to be lost. FINANCIAL. Business on the Steck Exchange to-day has beon quit and steady, but thero waa no marked recovery in prices, Two minor failures were reported iu connec- Mon with tho fortnightly settlement. Biiver was quoted at 537¢d. RACING IN ENGLAND. FETRARCH THE WINNER OF THE HANDICAP, Loypoy, Nov. 15, 18976.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuixcrox, Nov. 15, 1876. GENERAL CROOK STATES THAT THE INDIAN WAR WILL SOON BE OVER—VERY FEW INDIANS ON THE WALPATEH. Private advices from General Cook indicate that he thinks the Indian war will soon bo over, He has written that he will prosecute the winter campaign as vigorously as he can, so as to be through with it before the full severity of the season sets in. He says that there are hardly any Indians on the warpath now, except the bard under Cgazy Hi! which is not very numerous, and about 2,000 Indians, who are estimated to be yet with Sitting Bull, and supposed to have gone North, Even should these latter confront Gen- eral Crook, it ia believed that he will bave a sufficient force under him to contend successfully with the hos- tiles. But the opinion prevails strongly that Sitting Bull will not fight any more, and that the harrassing he has boen subjected to, and the losses he bh: uf. fered in the large numbers of followers who have de- serted him, will cause him to fly northward. There is no beliet entertained that ho or bis followers will come into the agencies. It is ‘eared that General Crook’s command will experience similar and as great suffering now as they did last year on the plains. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs will submit his report to the President to-morrow for approval, a(ter which it will be made public, No doubt is felt tnat whe President will approve his recommendations, ‘*3088" SHEPHERD'S ARRANGEMENT WITH HIS CREDITORS. ‘The creditors of Alexander Shepherd, at their meet- fog to-night, came to an agroemert with him by which (bey extend their claims for five years, and take in immediate excnange therefor bonds with semi- annual coupons. The bonds are to be secured by a mort- gage covering bis real estate, her dower in which is released by his wife. His showing of assots gave an excess of $48,000 over liabilitics. —_-—__—_— GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. 5 Wasninctox, Nov. 15, 1876, SCATTERING THE SEED AMONG THE SOWERS. ‘The annual report of the Commissioner of Agricul- ture showe that there were distributed during the past yoar 1,520,000 packages of vegetablo and field seeds and textiles, including nearly 400,000 of vegetable, 872,000 of flower, 66,000 of wheat, 64,000 of tobacco and These seeds, the report says, were collected trom all parts of the world, selected becauso of their peculiar excellence and put into the bands of thousands of in- dividuals who make them the germs from which is to grow a quantity of product that is to characterize the futare operations of the farmor and gardener. THR COTTON CROP—A FAVORABLE REPORT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Roports to tho Department of Agriculture indicate that the season has been extremely favorable for gath- ering cotton,.except in some portions ot North Caro- lina Frost bas injured the top crop in tho northern belt, notably in Arkansas, The fibre is cleaner than usual and of superior quality in tho southern belt, Drought jn the Gulf States, rain estorms in the Caro? nag, the bollworm in the Southwest and the cater- pillar in certarn locations near the Gulf coast, aro chiet causes of injury to the crop, The harvest will be com- pleted at a much earlier date than usual. Tho crop must be smaller than that of last year, bowever favor- a \d long the remaining season for gathering. In the comparison’ with the last crop the percent- ages of the Atlantic coast States are relatively larger by reason of tho poor roturns of 1875, and smailer in the Southwest from comparison with the remarkable yield of that region. They ai follows:—North Carohna, 92; South Cardlina, 99; Georgia, 110; Flor- fda, 100; Alabama, 77; Mississippi, 78; Louisiana, 83; Texas, 100; Arkansas, 74; Tennesseo, 101, Tho aver- age is between 88 and 89, indicating, without reference to the remainder of the picking season, nearly nine. tenths of the crop of 1875, THE FORTHCOMING ESTIMATES—AN INCREASE IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS EXCEPT THE PENSIONS. Tho House Committee on Appropriations has been called by ite Chairman to meet on the 22d inst. There promises to be a full attendance of the members. The estimates for the diplomatic and consular service slightly exceed $1,200,000. This 1s $59,000 in excess of tho amount apprepriated for the fiscal year, and nearly $150,000 léss than the estimates of last yoar, The estimates for allof the expenses of the government, with tho exception of the pensions, are larger than the appro- priations of tho present year. The pensioh esti:nates are $28,533,500, $1,000,000 less than the amount appro- printed for tho present year. A considerable annual reduction in the pension lists may now be counted upon, * The, Indian and ormy estimates are much larger than the appropriations granted at the last session of Congress for the current fiscal year; out the Post Oflce estimates promise to be nearly the same. ADMIRAL PORTER AND THE CAPTURE OF RICHMOND. Tho trial of the claim of Admiral Porter and tho North Atlantic squadron, for prize money,’ growing out of the capture ot Richmond, was begun yesterday before Judge Hamphries. Colenel Enoch Totten and Quinton Corwine appeared for the naval squadron, andgion. H. H. Wells, United States District Attorney, for the United States, About $1,500,000 ts involved mn the controversy. i THE MISSOURI OUTLAWS. COMMENCEMENT OF THE TRIALS O¥ THE TRAIN AND BANK ROBBERS—THE PROBABLE RESULT INDICATED. Sr. Lovis, Nov. 15, 1876, Tae trial of tho noted outlaws from Missouri, Cole, Bob and Jim Younger, train and bank robbers, began yesterday at Fairboult, Minn., on tho four indictments presented to the Grand Jury—tho first for the murder of Hey wood, tho Northfield Bank cas! second, for the marder of Gustaveson, the Swede, supposed to have been shot by Cole Younger; third, tor the as- sault to kill Bunker, and fourth, for robbory. All tbree bave boon indicted jointly. The prisoners wiil probably plead not guilty. All are in good health rite, Thoy havo retainod as counsel thr lawyers, aud the prevalont belief is that thoy will es- cape with imprisonment for life, or even a lighters en- tence. None of their friends or relatives have yet ar- rived at Madalia, CROOKED WHISKEY IN JERSEY. Trextox, Nov. 15, 1876, In the United States District Court hore, to-day, James McIntyre wae sentonced totwo years’ imprison- ment in the State prison, for carrying on illicit dis- tillery in a cellar of bis residence at Rahway, Charles A.

THE CUBAN REBELLION. A Band of Cubans Seize a Steamer by Killing Its Officers. SHOOTING OF A WOMAN. The Liberating Army Reported To Have Had a Victory at Puerto Principe. PRIESTS TO BE BANISHED. Havana, Nov, 15, 187 By a desperate and startling ruse the Cubans bave at last seized a small steam vessel, and by severo fighting they are declared to havo captured a seaport, defeating in tho struggle recently arrived Spanish troops. IZING A STEAMER ON THE WIG MEAS. While the steamer Moctezuma, belonging to the line running between here and Porto Rico, and touch ing at various ports of this island and also at Puorto Plata, was at the latter port, about eleven passengers embarked, who, when the steamer was on the high geas, killed the captain, first mate, first engineer and the supercargo and took possession of the steamer. They then landed the rest of the passengers on Ro- mero Key, Cuba, and put out to sea again, CUBAN PATRIOTS, It is supposed these so-called passengers were Cu- bans, the whereabouts of the Moctezuma being un- known and Puerto Plata being tuil of retugoes from here. DEFEAT OF THE SPANISH TROOPS. ‘Well grounded rumors are current hore of a fight having occurred, resulting disastrously to tho Span. tards, near Puerto Principe. The nowly arrived Span- ish troops are said to have been engaged in this affair, ‘The Spanish forces retired to Puerto Principe. A RUMORED EXPEDITION, There 1s another rumor that the’Spanish authorities Lavo captured a boat near Baracoa, with four insur- gents on board, carrying correspondence trom Cuvan refugees in New York to the insurgents hore, stating that an expedition with arms, ammunition and monoy was on its way to this island under command of Que- sada. BHOOTING WOMEN—NOT IN BULGARIA. Saturday’s Gazette publishes a sentence of a court martial, held at Holguin, condemning a woman named Salome Gomez to be shot, and another, named Paula Gamboa, to be banished. The offences for which these sentences we! passed are not given, but it is supposed that both women were implicated in the Las Tanas affair. 4 THR SURRENDER OF La TUXAS. Nothing whatever bas transpired about tho tnvesti- gation into the conduct of the Spanish commander and officers who capitulated at Las Tunas, PATRIOTIC PRIESTS. The following Roman Catholic priests here—Fathers Arteaga, E. de los Santos, Miguel de los Santos and Barnada—who are Cubans by birth, havo received inti- mations from the government to resign. Failing to do this, it is said they will be forcibly deposed. Tho reasons assigned for this action are that the accused preached sermons covertly hostile to the Spanish cause in this island, and that they omitted to allude to Spain daring their sermons commemorative of tho Virgin de Pilar, the patroness of Saragossa, in Spain. For this latter offence another priest, Fatber Dooal, is under judgment, and also for having alluded, in a speech held in a collego, to Jose do la Luz Haballero, advising the scholars to follow in the toutsteps of that defunct academicians Arteaga and one of the Santos’ aro directors of colleges, but they will all be banished to Spain. ARRIVAL OF MORE SPANISH TROOPS. One thousand troops have arrived from Spain:. YELLOW FEVER. Savaynany, Ga., Nov. 15, 1876, . Tho total number of intorments to-day was four, of which two were from vellow fever.

ANNETTE ESSIPOFF'S SECOND CONCERT, Dospite the lowering skies that spread a gloom over the metropolis yesterday the hall of Messrs. Steinway ‘Was pretty woll filled last night, when, after the usual introductory overture by the orchestra, on this occa sion Schubert's “Alfonso and Estrella,’’ Mmo. Easi- po, the latest wonder in our mosical world, mado her second appearance —be- fore’ the American public, The ring of the Jady Jn the two concerts in which she has been heard in this city is very remarkable, Last night sho essayed @ programme of even larger dimensions toan that ‘m which she mude her début. It was the following:— Grand concerto (in D minor), Rubinstein; prelude and fugue (with chorale), Mendelssohn; gigne, Bach in Afmajor, Scarlatti; bareote, etude in F, valse, Chopin; nocturne, Ficld; serenade, Schubert—Liszt; etude, D flat, Liszt; gavotte, Silas; polonaise, Weber—Liszt, The concerto is one of those works that glow with all the fire and erratic style of the Russian composer, and makes larger demands op the pianist, orchestra and conductor than any otber piano work we knew of. Such was Rubinstein's own opinion, as no has been always particularly caretul about its production, even when ho was tho piamst, Mr. Reinhard Schmelz, tho director of tho orchestra last night, is, evidently a careful, painstaking leader, and he kept bis men under severe discipline throughout tho con- -Certo, at the same timo infusing into their minds a great doal of the spirit and dash indispensable with such a work. Mme. Essipoff made a success: second only to that achieved by the composer, The first movement, Moderato, with its horn passages as a preludo to the piano, was magnificently played. The bold, declamatory phrases, with their long, ¢x- tended chords, that introduce the piano, were given with a degreo of vigor and earnestness that recalled memories of Rubinstein. Then those peculiar arpeg- gio passages that flash upon the mind as the phos- Phorescent gleam on the wave in a tropical cyclone sprang from tho ivory keys with a light that seemed to como from some hidden artistic source, ‘he secon¢d movement, moderato assai, \s the least interesting in tho concerto, There ts no poetry init, It is positive and declamatory. How the corresponding movemont in other great piano works is veiled in an atmosphere of idyllic beauty’ one can readily ascertain. It was ap ungrateful task for the pianist, but one that she accomplished, Is was bard to descend from the paradise of a Chopin andante to tho stern realism of Rubinstein, who, with all his great talent, seldom succeeds in gainiog admit- tance to that artistic Garden of Eden called poesy. Attimes hois like the Peri at the gate, with the sigh of the lover and the drop of life blood of tho patriot, But he never attains tho desired talise man that is requisite to admit him to the charmed circle of musical poets. Tke impetuous finale passed over tho keys with the power of a whirlwind. The first of tho’ three preludes, cpus35, book I., by Mendelssebn, with its ponderous fuguo and :nassive choral, seldom imterprete@ with apy degree ot effect. by modern brought out the best qualities of piol’s playing. In the three Chopin works the interpretation may be likened to the tancilul description of another great artist's playing:—‘It possessed all the qualities of the perfume of the gardon, the murmar of the brook, the sigh fof tho summer zephyr.’’ Tho rugged mature of Jiszt seems to be softened down to Arcadian mildness ia his “Etude” tn D flat and the fair pianist played it caressingly. In the martial measures of Carl Maria Von ver’s Polonaise in E, splendidly arranged for piano and orchestra by Liszt, Madamo Eszipoff brought a very in! sting con- cert to a close. it was a work in which Von Bilow won his greatest success 1p this city. Madame Essipofl’s interpretation was preferable in the artistic commingling of power and expression, There was not always that ardent fire of the virtuoso that makes the polonal a blinding calcium in the domain ol art. The shades of expres sion reflected themselves op the broad mirror of the bold phra if a Ungliostro waved bis wand over it. The complete mastery over the piano which Mme. Essipoff bas attainea recalls the line ot Spenser—. Playing alone, careless, on her heaventio virginals. Mons, Alfred Vivien played on the violin a concerto by his teacher, Léonard, and a polonaise by Wieniaw- ski. He made a success in both by the perfection of his technique and the clegaveh of his style of playing. On Friday Mme. Essipott plays threo concertos by Beethoven, Henselt and Mendcissobn, THE BROOKLYN THEATRE, Mr. Owens played last night to a good audjenco at this house his well known character of Caleb Plummer ‘and received well carned applause. Caieb is one of the best of this excelicnt artist’s impersonations, and in its personation he displays that uoton of feeling aud judgment which is the base of alltrue art, Thero is 80 much pathos ja tho humor and so sly humor in the blunders of tho oid toymaker that an interior artist might eueily step across the boundary which Bien separates pathos irom Chen ae and destroy the effect of the quaint tenderness the old map. Mr, Owens manages to accentuate every beauty of the character and yet preserve it so free from exagg jon or aflec- Aation that wo are willing to forzet 1118 acting and ac- cept it as an exquisite piece of human nature brought accidentally under our notice. The remaming churac- ters were very weil filled. Mr. Owens will appear in tho same character thts evening. CHICKERING MALL. Last night Miss Lizzie L. Clarke gave a selection of readings at this hall. The audience was a large anda select one, and it greeted the fair reader when sbe ap. peared with a generous and hearty weleome, Pre- vious to the readings Madamo Isolta Rebechini en. tertained the assemblage with the “Tu Al cui Squardo Omnoposente” ot Verdi, after which Miss Clarke, without other preface, commenced her r a dramatic poem entitied, “Tite Painter uf Sevuie,” which she rendered well, er ** Miss Maloney on the Chinese Question” was particularly good, and took, as Irish recitat:ons generally do when given with even ordinary ability. “The Pride of Battery B’ was de- livered fairly, A number of other weil chosen selec. tions completed the performance. Taken altogeiher Miss Clarke made @ favorable ‘impression, and pleased those who were drawn to Chickering Hall to listen to her elocutionary efforss, NIGHT OF HELLER's THEATRE. Last night the Wonder Theatie—for so the Globe has been renamed by Mr. Robert Heller, who has leased it—was thronged on the occasion of his first euter. taiminent this season, Tho theatre has been prettily titted up, the stage being particularly neat and attrac. live, and, judging trom the dolight expressed by the audience, the performances of Mr. and Miss Heller will remain popolar throughout the winter. This prosti- digitateur, who would have been hanged as a wizard in ancient times, is well. known 10 the United States, and respectable people go to see his marvels without tear of one or both of the syliables of his significant name, Many good coujarcrs have visited this cv ¢ them Anderson, the two H Imtely, Casenouve—and Mr, Helle best.

Others have made coffce out of rugs wnd nik out of newspapers, but few would have thought of calling the Jatter the “milk of human kindness as extracted from the New York press’’—n murscie, indeed, it Mr. Helier used newspapers published during the present pouticul excitement. These two tricks and “The Fortunes and Mistortuves of w Handkereb 1d “The Derweated Canaries’ and the Witches’ Polw | were executed with portect case, while tho antics of Ravel, Mr. Heiler’s automatic little clown, created bearty laughter and applause. Mr. Heiler'is a fine pianist, and the musical part of the programme was well received. Tho third part wax devoted to a curious trick called “second sight,’” in which Miss Heller, sitting blindiolded in the middie of the stage, bamed scores of all kinds of articies collected from the audience by Mr. Helier—such as knives, mateh boxes, glusses, gloves, cigar holders, necktics, telling atonce the dates upon coins the upon watches and rings ata distance feet.

They can be had, I think, at all the first class houses. This theatre, one of the most rexpectable in the city, ought to reform such nuisancos, New York, Nov. 14, 1876. MR, MARKS, A NEW OPERA HOUSE, STRAKOSCH'S SPLENDID SCHENE FOR A TEMPLE OF MUSIC ON THE SITE OF GILMORE'S GARDEN—ONE MILLION FOR THE GROUND AND ONE MORE FOR THE EDIFICE. To Tux Epitor oy THk HeRALD:— One of tho main purposes which I bad In view in my Prerent lengthened visit to the United States was to examine, and, it possible, solve a problem which has for many yours confronted both the people of New York, and, moro especially, every operatic manoger who hus catered for them. That problem was how to make Italia opera, as well as Euglish and German opera, a flourishing permaocy in tho metropolis of the United States, 1t must have been patent to even the least observant that hitherto tho establistiment of the opera in this city bas been attended’ with difficultics well nigh insurmountable. Why should this be the case? Tho people, of New York do not yield cither in wealth, intelligence or culture to apy of the great European capitais where the opera flourishes, nor can it bo said that they are behind them in their appreciation of the divino art. Conse. quently the reason for this anon:aly must he sought for in another direction. And here I would say tbat an experience of a quarter of a century has possibly fitted me to speak with some measure of weight upon this question. Now, 1 wish to be allowed to say tbat after a very careiul examination of the question, 1 have come to tho conclusion thatthe difficulty lies matuly in the present home of opera in this city, if such it can be called. 1am desirous of speaking with all respect of the gentlemen who buit the Academy of Music, and of those woo aro now the stocks holders, But to these, perhaps, more than to any ono else tt must have beon clear that anytiring like an attempt to make opera at the Academy a permanenoy would have been financial ruin to the manager undertaking it. ‘Why isthis? I think tho reason 16 to be found in the ono great drawback with which overy mabager is weighted in tho prescriptive rights of the stockholders, They own, and if they choose, occupy on all occasions about tho best third of the whole house, From this thiratho general public is as absolutely excluded as if ithad no existence, Tho boxes are so placed as almost to make it appear that the Academy of Music were expressly copstructed with a view to their prominence. As far as my knowl- edge gocs this twotvid disadvantage does not exist in apything approaching the same degree in any opera house ju Euro; But, even if it aid, { am not of opinion that it would be so fatal to. opera as it ts in New York. Monarchy, aristocracy, end the privileges of custo are things to which tne European mina has for centuries been accustomed. Here the very foundations of the national institutions 18 tho doctrine of persoval equality. 1t 18 therctoro distastetul to the bulk of the opera-going public to know belorehand that they are excluded trom the best third of the hor t whatever performance it may be, Therefore, unless for some very unusual attractions, they will bot go to the Academy. 1 do not wish tobe understood us saying that the cause alleged 1s the solo one for such abstention of the public 8 brought financial ruin to more than ove good m: think it may be fairly claimed that thi eubstantially the cause of such abstention on all ordi. nary occasions, Nor is this unnatural. For were a picture dealer to summon public to a sale, iniorming them at the same time that the best third of his pictures were not for sale, he would undoubtedly have a very differ. ent assemblage trom that which Wowld surround Lim Mf the whole were advertised to be sold without reserve. ‘Yhe same would hold equally good of any otber pro- du: er ci works of art. Now, no ove will deny that tho chief city in the United states and the third im the world in point of numbers, intelligence, cuiture and wealth should tayo an opera house equal to that of any capital of the ld Word. Alter having said so much that is purely nogative in character I shall provably be asked woether | have uy positive plan to offer as a remedy for the existing state of things lbave, 1tistobvuild aGrand Opera House on the block boiween Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets, Madison avenue and Fourth j ie avenue, on the sito’ of the present - Gilmore's Garden, with the facade on Madison avenue, for production of Italian, English, And L think it will be co in regard to spaciousness, de- se Uf access, a more splendid to erect the home of grand 420 feet by a widih of 200, and 18 unimpeded approaches on all four sides. Nor have [ matured this wea withont providing, in the contingency ol its realization, something that must ove unusually gratifying and flattering tothe Ameri- np puvlic, Boww the great masters, Verdi and Gou- hod, bave promised each tv write wh opera expressly fur the contemplated “a hy’ Richard Wagner's famous ‘Ring der Nibelungen” would be one of the features of the first season. Mine, Acchua Pattr has most tormaily prow- jsed me to revisit America if I succocded iu my project. Real French opera comique, but not opira bouffe, woull be produced here, And, last but not least, very tempting offers would be made to Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg, the great American prima douna, to make the new opera house ahome for a regular Eagisu operatic season. The house would be in the strictest sense an international opera house, dhd with such a combination, appeaung in this cosmopolitan etty to residenis of all the ciel nationalities, it is reasonable to axsume that success would be placed beyond a peradventure. To return now Ww the waterial partof my plan, the ground of which L have the reiusal, and the baiiding, Which should be one of the ornaments ot New York, would cost about $2,000,000, inciding ail the necessary scenery, dresses aud appomtments, My plan would be to crect'a butiding capauie of seating 5,000 persons. The funds for tow purpose I propose to raige by issuing 4,000 shares of stock at $1,000 each. The stock- holder's security would be the land and the buiding upon it. In leu of terest they would have the right to free admission to every performance, but woula uot be entitled to reserved Reuls except by pay- ¢ difference between the price of the general nd- mission ang the reserved seats, upon the sam tions as the generai public. IL may be walety of the stockholders would one performance the disposal of the je benetit of the management, 0 the comparatively low py ‘abled to charge when aud French opera. that there is nut, eith sirability of location or site in this city upou whi opera, with its levgth hamber ot people.
