Mr. Russell never showed to greater advantage than in his performance of this delightful little sketch. The bare definition of the rival schools went far in popular opinion The crisp staccato chords of the first subject, and the sweet melody of to decide the merits of the controversy. Romanticism," says Beyle, the second, received additional beauties at his hands, and we can fancy" is the art of presenting a people with the literary works which, in the delight which our pianists will have when they realize more fully, the actual condition of their habits and modes of faith, are capable of by study, those beauties Mr. Russell so well introduced to them. affording them the greatest possible amount of pleasure. C-sicism, Kirchner's Albumblatt in F is peculiarly graceful, and will undoubtedly on the contrary, presents them with the literature which afforded the share the honours of the afore-mentioned drawing-rooms with its more greatest possible amount of pleasure to their great grandfathers." It powerful companion. We have heard Mr. Russell play '11 moto conwas a clear gain to the dramatist to be emancipated from the rigid tinuo-as the finale to one of Weber's pianoforte sonatas is called--better observance of the unities, to be free to choose subjects from modern than on Monday; the speed at which he took the movement was so great history or the ordinary walks of life, to drape them appropriately, and that the reverberation of the hall destroyed the clearness so necessary to make them talk naturally, instead of being tied down to Greek and brilliant performances. We were sorry to learn afterwards that Mr. Roman models, or rather what passed for Greek and Roman amongst Russell had slightly sprained his wrist before the concert, and was therethe courtiers of the Grand Monarque. But a revolution in literature fore playing in some considerable pain. To hear his last solo-the fantasia and art is as difficult to moderate as a revolution in government; it is on the Skating Scene,' in Les Huguenots, by Liszt-one would never idle to play Canute, and say "thus far shalt thou go and no farther" have dreamed that such was the case. Brilliant, and brilliantly played as to the advancing waves of thought; we must take the evil with the this fantasia was, we shall certainly remember the Novelletten' in F as good; and it was Victor Hugo himself who drew a parallel between the the gem of the concert. Weber's quartet in B flat, with its merry, excesses of the Reign of Terror and what he called the nightmares of the busy finale, was a fine opening to the concert, and introduced to new school as the necessities or inevitable results of progress. The extraCroydon Mr. Henry Holmes as a leading violinist. Mr. Russell's wellvagance to which they pushed their doctrine may be collected from the known trio for pianoforte, violin, and violoncello, concluded the first fact that, on the night of their crowning triumph, after the first reprepart, and we think it was never so well performed before. Mr. Holmes's sentation of Henri Trois, a party of them formed a ring by joining solo-Beethoven's Romance in F-was played in a style worthy of the hands in the foyer of the Théâtre Français, and danced round the bust masterpiece, and much appreciated by his audience. Mr. Burnett's of Racine, shouting in chorus, Enfonce, Racine ! Enfonce, Racine!" viola playing in the concerted pieces was also much applauded. Dumas, to do him justice, never lost his reverence for the best classic Madame Lancia sang with her usual neatness Una voce poca fa,' Mr. models, and in the first of his accepted dramas, Christine, he was obRussell's favourite song, The Swan's Melody; and the ballad Ifviously still trammelled by their rules. The representation of this you're waking, call me early.' The pretty ballad which Mr. Russeli play was indefinitely postponed through a theatrical intrigue, which is composed (to Mr. Ormerod's words, commencing, 'If fondest wishes) amusingly detailed in the Memoirsfor the bazaar held recently for the School of Art, was introduced into public life by Mr. Nordblom, the Swedish tenor. The song fully comes up on the platform to the reputation it has already earned in the drawing-room, and we hope soon to hear it again. Mr. Lewis Thomas's idea of Oh! ruddier than the cherry,' is as different as possible from the usual Santley-and-water we get now-a-days, being a return to the original method, and-thank Heaven!-to the original note at the end -that fatal G! How many more poor fellows are to strain their throats only to crack on it. We very much enjoyed Mr. Lewis Thomas's singing of the famous air, I'm a roamer.' It is just a trifle low for his voice, but his long acquaintance with what appears to be his favourite song enables him to give great effect to it. The audience was as numerous as brilliant, and as appreciative as usual." MANCHESTER.-A correspondent writes as follows: 6 "The First Subscription Concert in the Stretford Town Hall took place on Friday evening, December 29th, and was attended by an audience both numerous and fashionable. The vocalists were Miss Thorley, and a glee party from the Manchester Cathedral Choir. The instrumental soloists were M. Brossa, whose performances on the flute gave great satisfaction, and Mr. Horton C. Allison, whose pianoforte solos were enthusiastically received. Mr. Allison played Beethoven's sonata in A flat (with the Funeral March), his own Tarantella in A minor, and Liszt's Grand Concert Paraphrase on Mendelssohn's Wedding March, which was (encored)—all from memory. BREMEN.-Herr R. Wagner's opera, Die Meistersenger von Nüremberg, has been produced with marked success. CAIRO. The false jewels purchased in Paris for Signor Verdi's new opera of Aida alone cost 50,000 francs. ROSSINI AND BOIELDIEU.-In the work he has lately published on Rossini, M. Arthur Pougin tells the following anecdote:-Rossini was gcod-nature personified in his relations with his friends. He and Boieldieu, especially, were upon the most amicable terms. After the first representation of La Dame Blanche, he complimented Boieldieu very warmly on his success, telling him there had never been so good a comic opera before; that it was a model of its kind; and that no Italian composer, himself not excepted, could write one like it. "On a happy day like this, when I can feel so contented, do you want to make me blush?" said Boieldieu. "Not at all, not at all," replied Rossini, I am only speaking the truth. Not one of us Italians would have ever written such a scene as that of the sale. We should have manufactured a monstrous concerted piece, full of Felicità, Felicità, Felicità, and yet not have produced the wonderful effect you have produced." Come, come, my dear fellow," said Boieldieu with a smile, as he opened the door of his apartments-for both he and Rossini resided in the same house" I see that I shall not overcome your stubborness today. But just recollect one thing; I am never above you except when I am going to bed." 66 ་ One of those I cast my eyes mechanically on the page and read what follows." 66 After the reading, I was summoned to the director's cabinet, where I found Mademoiselle Mars, who began with that sort of brutality which was habitual to her! Ah, it is you? We must take care not to make the same bétises as in Christine.' What bêtises, Madame ?'-' In the distribution of parts.'-True, I had the honour of giving you the part of Christine, and you have not acted it.'-' That may be there is a good deal to be said on that subject; but I promise you I will play that of the Duchess of Guise.'—‘Then, you take it ? Of course. Was it not intended for me?'-' Certainly, Madame.'-Well then. Therefore I thank you most sincerely.' 'Now, the Duc de Guise. To whom do you give the Duc de Guise?' They differ upon this part and two or three others which Dumas refuses to her friends So far so good: now for the page. I play three scenes with him. I give you fair warning that I insist on some one who suits me for this part.'There is Madame Menjaud, who will play it to admiration.'-' Madame de Menjaud has talent, but she wants the physical qualities for the part. Oh, this is too much! And doubtless this part is given too?'- Yes, Madame. it is, to Mademoiselle Louis Despreaux.' 'Choose her for a page!' Why not? Is she not pretty?'-Oh yes, but it is not enough to be pretty.' Has she not talent? It may come in time! but make that little girl play the page!' 'I am ready to listen to any good reason why she should not 'Well then, see her in tights; and you will see that she is horribly knockkneed.' * I made iny bow and took my departure, leaving Mademoiselle Mars stupefied. It was the first time an auther had held out against her. I must confess, however, that the legs of my page kept running in my head." The young lady turned out an unexceptional page in all respects; and From the moment Dumas took up the position of— "Some youth his parents' wishes doom'd to cross, his official superiors lost no opportunity of finding fault with him, and 666 So, M. Dumas, it is you. What good wind brings you or rather brings you back?'-'Monseigneur, Henry Trois is to be brought out to-morrow, and I came to ask a favour or rather an act of justice, to attend my first representation. During a full year passed since your highness has been assured that I am a vain, headstrong, foolish fellow: during a full year I have maintained that I am an humble and hardworking poet: you have sided, without hearing with my accusers. Haply your Highness should have waited: your Highness judged differently and has not waited. To-morrow the cause comes before the public to he judged. Be present, Monseigneur, at the judgment. This is the prayer I am come to prefer.' me, The "With the greatest pleasure,' replied the Prince, after a brief hesitation, but unluckily it is impossible, judge for yourself. I have twenty or thirty rinces and princesses to dinner to-morrow." Does your Highness believe that the first performance of Henry Trois would be a curious spectacle to offer to these princes and princesses ?' 'How can I offer it to them? dinner is at six, and the performance begins at seven.'- Let Monseigneur put on the dinner an hour, I will put off Henry Trois an hour. Your highness will have three hours to satisfy the appetites of your august guests.' 'But where shall I put them, I have only three boxes'- I have requested the administration not to dispose of the gallery till I should have seen your Highness.' 'You took for granted then that I should consent to attend.'-' I reckoned on your justice. Monseigneur, I appeal to Philip sober.' This was published, and passed unchallenged, when Philip sober was on the throne. The house was crowded with princes and notabilities; twenty louis were given for a box. The fate of the piece hung on the third act, especially on the scene where the Duc, grasping his wife's wrist with his gauntletted hand, compels her to write the note of assignation to Saint Mégrin. "This scene raised cries of terror, but simultaneously elicited thunders of applause: it was the first time that dramatic scenes of such force, I may also say of such brutality, had been risked upon the boards." At the conclusion of the third act, he hurries off to the sick-bed of his mother, and returns just in time to witness a complete success and receive the enthusiastic congratulations of his friends. Few men have seen so rapid a change operated in their life as was operated in mine during the five hours that the representation lasted. Completely unknown the evening before, I was the talk of all Paris, for evil or for good, on the morrow. There are enmities, enmities of persons I have never seen, enmities that date from the obtrusive noise made by my name at this epoch. There are friendships, too, that date from it. How many envied me this evening, who little thought that I passed the night on a mattress by the bedside of my dying mother." (To be continued.) MELBOURNE.-The Italian operatic company, who gave a series of performances here some time ago, have since proceeded to New Zealand. COLOGNE.

The following appeared recently in an influential Berlin paper:- For the benefit of Mad. Lucca's English admirers we add a literal translation of the above: GREETING TO PAULINE LUCCA. "Were a spirit to descend to-day, at once a singer and a hero, such a one, fallen in a sanguinary war upon the battle-field, would value you as his equal, as a heroine and singer, therefore, I greet thee, with devoted mind, on thy return from thy travels. I can offer thee only faint praise, for the most beautiful laurel-spray is already in thy hands, thou paragon of all artists.

Gilmore has met with complete success in securing the assistance of the Great Powers in his projected Universal Musical Festival, at Boston, in 1872. The first Bul de l'Opéra of the present season produced upwards of 18,000 francs. So it seems that Paris has still the will to dance, and the means to pay the fiddler. Mr. Alberto Laurance, has opened a conservatory for the instruction of music, and the preparation of singers for the lyric stage, in New York. Dr. John Stainer, M.A., organist of Magdalen and to the University of Oxford, has accepted the post of organist to St. Paul's Cathedral, vacant upon the retirement of Mr. John Goss. Dr. Stainer is well known as an accomplished organist. The Musical Bulletin of New York says :— The announcement of the projected visit of Mdlle. Arabella Goddard to this country has created quite an excitement in musical circles. This lady has no living rival before the public as a pianist." L'Europe Artiste is not honest. It reproduces and attributes to the Musical World an anecdote of Liszt and the Pope, which we quoted, not without laughter, from an American journal, acknowledging the source at the same time. We give our contemporary a first warning. The production of M. Thomas's Hamlet, at Brussels, in presence of the composer, and with the co-operation of M. Faure, to say nothing of Mdlle. Sessi, was looked upon as a great event. The King and Queen were present, his Majesty conferring on M. Thomas, when the curtain fell, the insignia of the Leopold Order. Le Chanteur Espagnol arrive sur la place, chante à tous les balcons. Personne ne répond à ses accords joyeux; son refrain devient alors bien triste, il s'en va. Cependant, sa voix a été entendue-les balcons se garnissent d'auditeurs; il revient plein d'espoir et d'entrain, met son chapeau par terre, fait une abondante récolte, remercie, et s'éloigne. The report that M. Gounod contemplates settling permanently in England, and founding a Conservatoire on the Paris model, has its rise in the warm support given by him to the Academy which Mrs. Weldon is endeavouring to establish in London, for the purpose of training the voice on a special system, affirmed to be her own.-Athenæum. The French journals announce the death, at the age of 56, of M. Brisebarre, the well-known dramatic author. The number of pieces which he brought forward, chiefly, in conjunction with others, is estimated at above a hundred. Among his most successful works were: Le Baiser de l'Etrier, Le Tigre du Bengale, Lionard (played 100 times at the Théâtre Historique), Lu Route de Brest L'Arracheur de Dents &c.

Le commandant furieux adresse les plus sévères observations à son équipage. L'équipage se réveille, mais il se rendort aussitôt, et le commandant aussi. For the first time, to our knowledge, in the history of the drama (says the New Tork Tribune, of Dec. 20), a school-house has been named in honour of an actress. The Bostonians are justly proud of Charlotte Cushman; and, having built a school-house upon the identical spot where, July 23, A.D. 1816, the tragic lady was born, they have ordained that the school there to be kept shall be called and known as "the Cushman School ". —a pretty good advance for a city in which, seventy years ago, it was seriously proposed to crush out theatrical representations as irreligious. If we When Rossini began to develop his peculiar style, which gives the singer opportunity to make all the excellencies of a well-cultivated instrument available, voices were raised against him even in Italy. The complaint was made that, instead of taking his predecessors, Cimarosa, Zingarelli, &c., for his models, and letting the singer produce his effect through the beauty of a sustained tone, he had turned the human voice into an instrument, and destroyed the natural power of tone. compare Rossini's demand upon the singers with the style of the older Italian opera; if we consult the traditions which have come down to us from that epoch, it will become clear enough that the charm felt in the fulness and power of the human organ in its highest development has been perceptibly weakened by Rossini, in order to make room for a more one-sided culture of mere technical facility. To be sure, the older Italian singers trained themselves to a facility in passages which scarcely fell short of that of the newer singers of the Rossini school, But their chief aim was the tone itself, and the effect produced upon the hearers purely by this. What we read of the formation of the tone, the cultivation of the breath, the flexibility of the voice in the singer of that time, judged by our present ideas, sounds almost fabulous. The singer Ferri, for example, who died in 1710, is said to have possessed such a control over his voice, that in the delivery of passages of feeling, he actually thrilled his hearers. Yet at the same time he had developed his technical facility to such a degree that he executed consecutive trills, for instance, through two octaves, up and down, in one breath, such passages requiring ifty seconds time. Similiar things are told of Sassaroli, soprano castrato of the King of Saxony, who sang as late as 1820, as Gorlitz, in a musical festival. Farinelli (died 1772) executed in one breath passages requiring fifty seconds time. Moreover, it is said that he could increase his tone to such a degree of strength, that it completely covered up the sound of a trumpet.-Das Musikalische Wochenblott. The British Consul at Rome attributes the good voice possessed by so many Italians to the fact that the Roman mothers swaddle their babes. When the mother is employed out of doors, her child a mere animate bundle, is hung up by a chord to a nail in the wall, where it is often allowed to cry for hours. Such continued crying, according to this investigator, exercises and forms the vocal organs in an extraordinary way. Upon this an American paper says: "If there is any virtue in swaddling, the Indian tribes ought to supply us with more melodious singers instead of whoopers,' for swaddling is quite as common with squaws as with Roman mothers." The influence of example has one more illustration in Mr. Fairlamb, just finished a grand opera, in which he has kept in view the unity of a resident of Washington, D. C., who, says an American paper, “has the lyric drama by excluding all spoken dialogue. Indeed, as a true musician, he could no more require his prima donna to make a speech than to dance a pas seul. In Leonello, Mr. Fairlamb has, according to the Wagner theory, availed himself of every resource, musical, scenic, and mechanical, to add to the completeness and interest of the work. Mr. Fairlamb has every reason to confidently anticipate a favourable verdict from the public on his grand opera of Leonello, and we gladly welcome him to the ranks, not very full as yet, of American composers.' Of the many European artists that have been listened to during the past year, few have presented such true artistic culture, added to natural advantages, as Mr. Santley. True, he brought with him a splendid European reputation, and, to those more intimately connected with music, was known as a great singer; but, to the general public, he was comparatively unknown, and has fairly won their suffrages and applause by honest artistic labour and ability. The last opportunity afforded of listening to him, at the time of writing, was in Mendelssohn's noble oratorio, Elijah, which he sang in connection with the Harmonic Society, Mdme. Patey, Edith Wynne, Messrs. Cummings and Patey. Here the fullness, richness, and resonance of his voice were heard to excellent advantage, and much admiration aroused by the truth and purity of his style. Santley is nothing if not classical; ad captandum effects he despises heartily, and wins us, rather by the truth of his art than by the boisterous fustian of which, unfortunately, so many singers are too fond. It would be difficult to conceive a more thoroughly refined, artistic, and impressive rendering of the music of Elijah, than that given by Mr. Santley. Full of the very spirit of the music, of its requirements and beauties, he sang it with all the fervour of a noble artist, never faltering, but attacking his notes with firmness and There is precision, and carrying them through to a triumphant end. every chance that we shall hear this great artist in opera, in which, it is said, his talents are seen to the fullest advantage.-Musical Bulletin. Frau Elise Polko, in her Reminiscences of Mendelssohn, tells us that one of the great master's favourite stories was an ancient Roman tradition of a motionless assembly of senators, seated in death-like silence, whom a guileless Gaul mistook for stone statues, and was, therefore, bold enough to pluck the beard of one of the circle, when the supposed statue started into life, and cut down the audacious Gaul with his sword. In remembrance of this anecdote Mendelssohn and Hildebrandt, the artist, agreed that whenever they met, no matter where, even in the most aristocratic society, never to say "Good day" stand still and assume a stony face, when Meddelssohn was to go up to to each other without a certain form. Hildebrandt was suddenly to him slowly and solemnly and pull his beard, while he was, in turn, to submit to a sharp Roman blow on the shoulder, which dissolved the magic spell, and they were then to greet each other with their usual cordiality. The following bit of news, concerning the Vienna Female Orchestra, appeared recently in the Cincinnati Inquirer :— "Mr. Rullman engaged the orchestra partly in Vienna, partly in Bohemia. He furnished the present outfits of all. He advanced each 250 dols., to be left with their families on a three months' contract. At Milwaukee, a singing society asked the manager's permission to announce them as volunteers at an approaching concert. The permit was granted, provided the fact should not be advertised more than one day in advance. It was advertised three days in advance, by mistake, it is claimed. Then Rullman refused to allow his people to appear, and the singing society, their concert ruined, swore revenge. They obtained it by making flattering offers to twelve of the prettiest of the Austrians already predisposed to American life-and inducing them to remain in Milwaukee, Rullman-who, it is said, had always bearded them at first-class hotels, they eating what he ate and drinking what he drank, a lift in life for all of them in itself-remained behind to force them to fulfil their contract. Their friend raised 60,000 dols. bail for them, and litigation is pending. Meanwhile the singing society had the news of the emeute telegraphed over the country, and the faithful twelve, with Muller, the superb barytone, and the wonderful child prima donna, came here to play only a losing engagement. Their misfortune is, that they made a contract which seemed to promise a fortune in Germany, but whose proceeds dwindled in the presence of American salaries and American adulation. Their more serious trouble is that, not speaking a word of English, they are at the mercy of their agents." THE VOICE & SINGING FAVOURITE SONGS, DUETS, TRIOS, BY ADOLFO FERRARI.
