The recent attacks upon the Emperor of Russia and tho King of Prussia have been followed by auother upon Count Bismark, This last one was made by a young man, and, save for the imptessiveness of its ill- | cturally wretched, but gaudy and glittering interior, it was as aufit for musical pur- poses as it could possibly be. It was a huge mon- resulting from a total ignorance of all princi- ples of taste on the part of the committee, aud a lack of ability on the part of the architect. It was opened to the public with Mario and G by Mr. J. H. Hackett, who could not make it pa, and was relieved by the stockholders, who burned the fingers, and resigned tho pleasures of management after a trial of a week or two. Afterward Ole Bull, Maretzok, and Strakosch combined, and failed mag- | nificently. Then Mossrs. Phalen and Coit essayed, wth the same result; followed by Mr. Wi, H. Paine, who saw £50,000 or $60,000 pass away in a Drilliant managerial dissolving view. Afterward, it passed into many hands: Max Maretzek, Strakosch, Ullman, Thalberg, Grau; uoWw one, DOw the other, controlled its destinies, or rather it controlled theirs; and but very fow have realized money by their enterprise; the 1aat season but one of Maretzek’s management being, perhaps, the single oxception of & really brillisut BUCCESS. By its dostruction, many plans have been frustrated and hoavy losses sustained. Maretzek is unquestion- -ably the severest sufferer of all. He lost the scores, vocal, instrumental and choral parts of over 80 com- plote operas, the entire of his vast and expensive wardrobe, and all his sconery, proporties, &c. These could hardly be replaced for §150,000, for they were the accumulation of the labor of years. On theso, W0 understand, there was an iusurance for barely $10,000. But Mr. Maretzek suffers o still further loss. Mo bLas made his engagements for the coming season, and only last week Lo sent over a beavy sum in gold, to pay the advauces for the artists ho has engaged In Europe. Now, he has no place in which he can use them, and will probably Liave to suffer an additional loss of the advances al- ready made abrosd, aud possibly a largo sum for the canceling of engagements already made bero.

Most heartily do we cougratulate the country, and especially its large class of insolvent debtors, on the passage by the House of Representatives yesterday of the bill establishing a National system of procedure and discharge in cases of Bankruptey. The vote on its final pussage—03 Yeas to 59 Nays—does not ex- since Mr. before, by the far stronger vote of 78 to 49. In other words, there was a majority of 23 who thought the bill ought to pass, but only a majority of 9 who dare face | the responsibility of voting for it. The bill—that is, any Baokrupt law—ia supposed to be unpopular, because such & law has already been twice or thrice enacted, and in each case speedily repealed. Dut we trust maokind are humaner and more eulightencd than formerly—at all events, they must bave learned the futility of attempting to ex- tract blood from a turnip. Let the baukrupts up, and some of them will by-and-by be ablo to pay their debts and will pay them; pin them to the ground, and they neither will nor can pay. We shall hope, if the Senate coneurs in passing this bill, it will be al- lowod a fair trial. It certaiuly will not have been passed in haste; let it nmot Lo repealed till it bas had @ chance to show what it will do, not merely in sponging out bad debts, but in preveuting their croation. We do fearfully need some breakwater against the gigantic National vice of giving credit, in order to dispose of property, te persons nowise entitled to it, to the damage of both debtor and creditor. Let us bave opportunity to see how a Baukrupt law will affect this chrouic, pervading improvidence. Mr. Jenckes of R. L has engineered tho measure with sigual ability, enorgy, tact and tenacity. The blessings of the unfortunate will follow bim in future yoars. —_— DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF THE ACADENMY OF mMuUsIC. The Academy of Music on Fourteenth-st. was totally destroyed by fire on Monday night, as our | seript of yesterday morning's paper. Grau's com- pany bad that evening performed Halevy's grand opera * La Juive,” and the house had scarcely been cleared of its occupants before tho janitor and the gas-man, going their rounds to see that all was safe, discovered smoke issuing from underncath the left side of the parquet. They hastily tore up the | seats, when a volume of smoke issued which drove | ing to call for assistance, they perceived flamos burst. ing from the upper windows on Fourtcenth-st. This could not have occurred accidentally. The janitor, Mr. Rullman, immediately returned to save his family, who lived in the building: among them, his mother, nearly 90 years of ag He rescued all, but with great difficulty. Before any effective aid conld be rendered, the fire had gained such headway among the combustible mate- rials on the stage that nothing could check its course, The Academy was entirely burned out, as were the Medical College, Ihne's piano-forte manufactory, and the large restanrant on the corner of Third-ave. Sad to say, two firemen lost their lives in their en- deavors to save the property. The destruction of so prominent a public building is unquestionably a severe loss and a great inconveni- that from this calamity ultimate public good will wen, hieaded by Mr. James Phalen, who owned the ground on which it stood;each taking a certain amonnt of stock, the possession of which conferred privi- 1 very favorable to the holders, but highly prejudicial to the interests of the manager and the public. Tt gave the stockholders exclusive possession of a large number of the best seats at all perform- ances, with the right to dispose of them by gift or sale, on the nights when they did not wish personally In consequence, a large number of stockholders' seats were constantly on sale, to the serions financial injury of the manager. These gentle- men procured a State act of incorporation under the was to cover not ouly a plan for operatic perform- ances, but a school for singers, instrumentalists, theory, &c., &e. We need not say that this was all pretense. No school was established; nothing was done forart, excepting to provide a place where operas could be given, The cost of the building, ground, &c., was, we be ieve, nearly $400,000, and the rental was necessarily #0 enormons, considering the stockholders’ exclusive privileges, that almost every maunagement became bankrupt in endvavoring to sustain itself. The house was wretchedly designed in every particular. The auditoriom was too large and the stage too small; | while there was not a decently proportioned room in the whole building. Before certain alterations were made in the anditorium it was found that there were several hundred seats from which no view of tLe stage conld be obtained. The enormous gal- lery, called the Ampitheater, caleulated to seat many hundreds of people—two-thirds of whom could not see the top of the curtain—was a ridiculous waste of room | and did not nothing to swell the receipts of the house. There were no supper-roos, to render the building teally available for Ball purposes; no small hall for Concert purposes, and fio #uites of rooms to ac- ing misfortune, Mr. Grou bas also been a heavy sufforer. Paying but & transient visit to the Academy, ho did not in- sure either the music, the dresses, or the properties, for the operas which he produced; all of which per- ished in the flames on Monday night. His losses are calculated to be between $30,000 and §50,000, on which thero was mo insurance. Much of his material was stored elsewhere, and thus escaped destruction. Mr. Gran cannot but feel this loss se- verely, and will probably receive some token of sym- pathy both from his artists and the public. More fortunate, however, than Maretzok, he has his opera- houses secured; having become lessce of the New French Theater in Fourtoenth-st., and the Tacon Theater in Havana, His losses will not at all inter- fore with his future movements, as he will be fully prepared against the arrival of Ristori in September. 1t is possible that the two managers, Maretzek and Grau, way make arrangements to work together, or to accommodate cach other; but of this nothing can be known at present. We well know the indomita- ble energy of Maretzek, and are satisfied that even this stupendous loss, though it may stagger him, will not deter him from again, and speedily, assuming the managerial reins. He will soe some way out of the difficulty, and, aided by his numerous friends, take some decisive stop forthwith. It is stated tbat the stockholders mean to re- build the Opera-House on its presont site. There is, wo believe, au insurance of §150,000 on the build- ing, which will cover a large portion of their loss, THE PANIC MEANS WAR!® Such is the judgment of the more intelligent classes throughout Europe. -They have all but unanimously concluded that Prussia aud Italy are leagued to attack Austria, and that Napoleon is secretly backing them. What was before suspicion becamo convietion when the telograph, on the 7th iast. startled Cabinets and shattered Credit by flashing abroad the speech wmade on the 6th by Napoleon to the Mayor of Auxerre, in response to a complimentary sddress. Its text is as follows: 1 soe with pleasure that the memory of the First Empire has not been effaced from your minds. Believe me, for my own part, I have jutierited the feelings entertainod by the chief of my family for this energetio and patriotic population, wlho ained the Emperor 1o good as i evil fortane. I have bt of gratitude to discharge toward Youoe. This depart- t wus the st to give me it rages o 1848, because it with the majority of th oh people, that its inter- ests wern wy interests,” and that I DETRSIED EQUALLY wiTH | THEM T1OSE TREATIES OF 1815 WIICH IT IS NOW BOUGHT TO MAKE THE SOLE BAsls OF OUK FOREIGN POLICY. I thank you for the seutiments you have expressed toward me. Among mn 1 breathe freely, for it 1s auong the working population, th in town sod country, tuat I find the real gemus of France.” ‘There is no mistaking this language. If a great war is not at hand, its author will evidently be sorely disappointed. Hence every Stock Exchange in Eu- rope has the blind staggers; hence the stoppage of | payment by such gigantio and hitherto solid concerns | as Peto & Betts, railway kings, and Overend, Gur- ney & Co., bankers: bence the increase of the rate of : interest by the Bank of England to the extraordinary figure of ten per cent, Moantime, Europe arws, from | Mossina to the Vistula, from the British Channel to the Dardanelles; heneo the universal and just appre- | hension of & war as gigantic as and more costly than that which hurled back the first Napoleon from Mos. cow to Elba. There is hardly a chance that peace can be pre- served. Each of the prospective belligerents charges the other with the aggressive intent which each dis- claims; each says it will not attack; yet each goes on arming to the teeth, though Austria and Italy are virtually bavkrupt, aud the Prussian king and his minister know that they can only plunge their coun- try into a needless War ‘in defiance of their people’s wishes aud protests, Yet it is plain that, if War wero not intended, such enormous, ruinous expenses of preparation for it would not Lave been incurred: 50 all, sadly or gladly, look confidently for War.

The war which has so long been impeuding over Europe has not yet begun, but the last hope for the preservation of peace has departed, and the last prep- arations for actual hostilities have been completed. | The eutire armies of Prussia, Austria, Italy, Bavaria, ‘Wartemberg, Saxony, Hanover and most or all of the | minor German States have been put upon the war | footing, and the official declarations of the Govern- | ments of Prassia, Austria, Italy and England agree | in representing war as fully determined upon. En- gland, as the Earl of Clarendon stated in the Houso of Lords, was willing to offer her good services for the J yreservation of peace; but standing alone she ** could | do nothiug against the determination that war was the most effective means—the only effective means of | giving effect to an ambitious policy Austria still appears anxious to avert war, if possi ble. She not only adheres to her offer to disarm, g0 soon as Italy and Prus<ia will do the same, but she bas offered to open new negotiations with Prussia concerning the Duchies of Schleswig apd Holstein on another basis. But Prussia and Italy are more anxious for war than Austria for peace, and shrink from every offer that could possibly avert war. Both are bent on aggrandizement, and if they should be unable to escape the restoration of peace, the bheavy expenses commodate the pnpils of the mythical Academy of Musig. Its acoustio capacities wera by no means incurred by their armaments would be useloss, and NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1566 —— T e wouid Lave to be repeatod perhaps nuder circum- stances loss favorabls, e speech of Louis Napolcon sottles the question on which side the whole power of France will be em- ployed. Ia publicly announcing to the world that he “dutests " tho treatt=s of 1815, and does not iatend to make them the * basis of the foreign policy of Fralice, " ho declares his alliance with Italy, whick endeavors to set aside those treaties, and ris antagonism to Austria, which in them finds the sole guaranty of her exist- ence. The aunouncement is strikingly similar to the famous words addressed on New Year's day, 1339, to M. do Hubner, ‘regretting the relation between | Aus: ia and Italy.” While Louis Napoleon announces his sympathy with Italy, the minor German States openly range themselves on the side of Austria. Saxony, on the sitting of the Federal Diet, on May 5, moved that | Prussia should be requested to make a pacifio declara- tion, as otherwise the Diet would be compelled to take those ateps which have been provided by Article 19 of the Foderal Act. Thia resolution, threatoning Prussia with the declaration against her of a federal war, was adopted on the Oth inst. Prussia made ber compli- ance with the resolution dependent upon the disarma- mont of the other members of tho Confederation; which, undor present circumstances, is equivalent to a defiance of the authority of the Diet. This new complication may bring on the opening of hostilities in Germany at any moment. The first scene of the war will be the Kingdom of Saxony, which both belligerent parties are desirous to occupy. In Italy, an attack upon Venetia was expacted on tho 11th of May. The rumor has already proved to be erroneous, but the appointment of Gen. Garibaldi to an important command will accelerate the opening of the war in this quarter. THE SOUTHERN METHODIST CcAavRCH, The Methodist Episcopal Church South was, at the beginning of our great conflict, the most numer- ous of the religions denominations in the Slave States, counting no less than 700,000 members, The Church, as a distintively Southern organization, originated in 1844, in consequence of the adoption of an anti-Sla- very measure by the General Conference. Since then the Sonthern Church has fully identified itself with the intense pro-Slavery movement in the South, its leading men generally taking the ground not only that the Christian churches had no right to legislate on the sulject of Slavery, but that Slavery wasa divine institution, as clearly sanctioned by the Bible as any fandamental doctrine of Cbristianity, destined to equal perpetuation, and deserving the same defense, On the outbreak of the Rebellion, the Southern Metho- dists were, therefore, almost a unit in the support of the Southern Coufederacy. In the course of the war the church suffered immense losses. The meet- ings of the Bishops and Conferences were interrupted, all the papers and tho Book Concerns were swept out of oxistence, the operations of all the religious societies were suspended, many of the churches and most of the schools and colleges were closed. The negroes, who constitute about one-third of the mewber- sbip, showed a universal desire to disconnect them- selves from the Church, and in East Teanessce, East- ern Kentucky, West Virginia and Missouri there were even a number of the white members who left the communion of the Southern organization in order to connect themselves with the Northern Church. The origin of the Southern Mothodist Church deeply interested great statesmen like Henry Clay, as they rightly expected it to give a great impulse to the disunion schemes of the politicians. Now that Slavery—the only occasion for the establishment of this disunion Church—has been removed, the attitude of the most uumerous religious organization in the Southern States naturaily becomes again an object of national solicitude. By many it was hoped that the Southern Methodists, seeing the corner-stone of their geclesiastical organization overturaed, all their hopes disappointed, and their Church completely wrecked, would be found willing to take the question of reunion into immediate consideration. During the first months after the close of the war, the idea of & reunion is said to have been entertained by quito & number of prominent men. But if this fecling really did exist to a large extent, it soon | passed away. The Bishops, in August, 1865, held a meeting and issued a pastoral address to the members of the Church, in which they very emphatically repu- | diated the idea of a union with the Northern Church. Although they did not expressly make the belief in the divine origin of Slavery a term of membership, they yet declared the legislative action of the North- ern Methodist Church on Slavery to be entirely irroconcilable with the spirit of true Christianity, and an insurmountable barrier to reunion. Around this standard the Southern Church has again rallied. The leading minds in the Church have every- where accepted it, and the fow white mombers who Qdisliked this platform and favored reunion were grad- ually being driven out of the Church by the current of events. At the first General Conference held since the beginning of the war, which met at New-Orleans in April, 1366, and adjourned at the boginning of the current month, the Chiurch—that is, the white portion of it, which, although numbering ouly two-thirds of the membership, is the only one represented at the | Church assemblies—appeared to be a unit with regard to the new platform. They accepted an invitation from one of the Annual Conferences of the North | for unitéd prayer, but they declined, as they bad | been invited to do; by aunother Northern Conference, to appoint delegates to meet Northern delegates i a ! Conference to discuss the question of reunion. No voice was heard in the General Conference indicating a change of views on the subject of Slavery; and not afow of the delegates declared their firm and un- changed belief in the divinity and beneficence of |y Slavery. It is astonishing that delegates holding such views shiould still deem it possible that tke colored people would recognize them as ** their best friends,” and remain in or return to their connection with the Sonthern Methodist Church. was expressed by many, aud some provision was made | for the orgauization of colored churchos and colored | conferences, on the sole ground that if not this much | were conceded to the negroes they would all leave for such Methodist organizations as would give them the desired rights. That this small concession, so reluctantly given, will not he of any influence npon the determination of tho negrods, is already becoming apparent. The sep- aration of the eutire negro membership, counting more thau 200,000 individuals, and their connection with either the Methodist Episcopal Chureb, or one of the African Methodist Churches, is proceeding at a very rapid rate and constitutes one of the most re- markable facts in the progress of Southern reconstruc- | tion. When the churclfes and schools which have been built by the negroes from their own contribu- tious, but have been deeded to the Southern Metho- dist Church, are withheld by the latter, the negroes promptly raise funds to erect new buildings. Theo- | logical institations for the education of colored minis- ters bavo been established by the Metbodist Episcopal Church in Charleston and New-Orleans, and in the latter city a weekly religious organ has been started. Thus there will be soon a popalation of at lenst 400,000 thoronghly loyal and anti-Slavery Methodists in the late Slave States. The progress of the Northern Methodist Church among the Southern whites is not so rapid, but it is likewise stead A conference has been organized in East Tennessee, numbering more than 7,000 members; in Eastern Kentucky about one-half of the ministers and people of one of the Southern Confereuces have come over, and more recently considerable progress ts reported from Northern Georgia and Northern Ala- This new loval and anti-Slavery element in hama.
