. t - r T 8 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 18GG. AMUSKMENTS. Academy of Memo. Myrboer aehlcvod, an it wr, two reputations, living two distinct artlnUo kves. In hie youth, being rich and a man of leisure, be studied music with the enthusiasm of an amateur, and, deeply imDued with the works of Rosinl, bojntn to compose In tils stylo. The result of hia taste and kin s(udies . were two Italian open-Margarita 4'Ajou and H Crociato in Fgitto. The first had only a mediocre success, but the Crociato, in Its day, wan eminently successful.' Malibran. Fata,. and Telubt all sung in it on Its flrst representations hi Paris and London. , After this Meyer, fceor became itnbuod with a yoncratlon for Wobor, and studying still more, produced Robert ie Diablo and In llunuenote, thus bcsrmninR a new reputation, which is the one on which ho achiovjd tho fame which will carry him to posterity. Nw;lie baa said his last word, his pentus has cnlmlnated, ho can do no mora to revorso tho flatot tho world or to Increase It. Perhaps lor liif famo's sake with pos terity it Would navn been as well had he rested after Itolxrt, and Let Ihignenn'e, and Dinorah. L'Jfri caine is a work of consummato art, admirable har monics, and orchestration that in ii self would S'lfllco for the dolight ol tbo-e who listened to it, whilst it is a profound study for all students; ytt as far as tho ironeral masses arc to give Judgment, we doubt whetbor they will evor content to conlor popu larity on this Ids last composition. It is to (treat a work so rrand in its conception, so wonderfully elaborated, that tho very Hoist musi cian would not presume to sit in Judgment on it altrouo hearing. Still, the most slrikinu morcoanx, kkoetar in tho boautiful b'.uo sjmco of Heaven, re main fixed on t tie memory. The aria with which tho opera may bo said to open by "Inez," M'me Bosislo, is a pracoful, gentle strain, and was tun? well by M'me Kosisio, impressing ns favorably with her, an impression that did not, howevor, last through tho opera. Iho wiiolo eccna of too council is in the grandest style of declamatory music. ' Vasco's" entrance doeenbing hia sorvica on the sea, Is as sublime aj the subject Indeed, all that is assigned to "Vasoo" is imprcssed'with a distinct character tho charac ter of tho heroic and tho sublime. The entrance of tho slave! changes the eharactor of tho musio to a wild strain, In which tho wind Instruments produce a thrilling eil ct, The llna'e of the first actisonoof the great morceaux of tho opera. "fcellkaV sleeping song, in the second aot, Is a gem, breathing still the spirit of her race All through the opera the maestro has given distinct character istics to each of his personages, and has never minglod the distinct stylos. The duct botwecn "Sclika" hnd Vosco" is lull of beauty. Tho filiate is, again, a magnificent compo sition, tboneh for originality of treatment we prefer Iho first Jbtae. ' I ho grand third act is ushered in by a chorus of sailors on deck, and a praytr echoed by tho ladies in IDe caMn below. This products one of those grand dranintie points' for which Meyerbeer's operas are unique. In this act is the aria of "Nelusko," the slave a wild drawl, full of lerocious passion, which was ndmlr.ibly sung by Bellini. "Vasco's" entrance Is again tho subj ct for a grand declamatory ana. The finale, with tho chorus, is here stupendous, one of those culminations recalling the grandeur of Lea Jlayucnots. In (he iourth act we have tor the flrst time, in the mnsio and in the orchestration ot "Nolusko," a pla giarism from Robert, but with grand etToct. Va'co's aria is again (oh si dento mol) at onco grand and poetical. The tremolo in the orchestra (used also by David in his Desert to imply the song of tropical birds) is ono of the pteat achievements, and stampod with the composer's genius. The dnet between "Selika and "Vasco" Is the most impassioned music ever written for this most common situation. Entirely new in treatment, de licious in rrelody, full of expression, it reaohos both the heart and tho senses. Tbe duet of the filth aot bctwoen the two women, was a magnlficont Cabaletta. The finale coasiBts of ft grand dramatic scene, with a lovoly strain of melody nil through that is again an evidence of tbe .genius and inspiration, as well as ot the science of Meyerbeer. This is but a flrst impression of L'Africaine. To sit down in Judgment on it from one performance, would be presumptuous and showing ignorance lather than skill. Madame Carrozzi Zucchi is a grand artist of the finest school. Hor Voice is emi nently sympathetic ; an Italian voioe, rull at once of gentleness and passion. Maszolini never sang music that scorn-" play his voice, his power, his broad sty' to ois . better. Ho and Mad'lle Carozzi we- 8lnein ot the great work and the gre-' cW wortn T finely comprehended the - - P8or. Balliul roe rttor!o, peculiar music of Madame Bosisi'- ' mentioned, rB6t ,nfonor tbo80 above tune am pleasing! though sometimes out of . , j possessing no execution. Antonucci hav . lcM responsible part, was very effective; bis jroice is firm in the concerted musio. Tbe mise en " scene connects in the celebrated ship scene. If we bave any advice to givo, it would be that a less com plicated scene should be substituted; for It certainly does not compensate for a wait of throe-quartora of an hour to get it ready. Tbe absence of the mite en scene in Paris is felt in the last act, where "Selika's" visions should be illus trated by the visionary tableaux. Tbe dancing is, of conr, what dancing will always be tlihwe get a school for dancing. Awkward dress appears the ftatural state of the supernumeraries. Tbe house was immense, but the opera, or rather the waits, were too long. W trust it will be pre sented, in the interest of musician and of the pnbllo, and doubtless of tbe management. This evening J'oliuto, a favorite opera here, one of the molodious Italian school, will be given. Walnut Street Thkatrb. Sam't Little Game and Faust. Ths management has substituted Mr. Chester for Mr. Taylor. Miss Cormon and Mr. Taylor are gone to New Tork, a ruinous system to themanagcment, and very unpleasant to the star and the public Heller. On Monday evening, Robort Hollor gave his first entertainment at Concert Hail, includ ins both bis magical and musical powers, We de sire to speak justly and without prejudice of him id both of his capacities. As a necromancer be is ex cellent. He does not surpass Hermann, and in some things does uot equal him, but at tho same time he possesses much more pleasant conversational powors, and everything be does is done with a clearness of execution which creates surpilso and admiration. Tbe trick of catching the tilver dollars he performs to perfection, and the continued applause which follows each of his exhibitions of thematic art testi fied to the enjoyment of his audlonoe. To all who love the wonderful, and delight in bavins their inge nuity excited only to be futilo in all attempts at a solution, we advise an attendance, So much tor the magical portion of tho entertainment. In regard to his musical ability we oannot speak too highly. He is one of the finest performers that has ever visited our city, aud will compare favor ably with either Gottschalk or Wehli. Hitexeoution of "The Last ltoso of Summer," with variations of his own, was the most entrancing performance we have ever beard outside of an opera. Ilia laucrhable Imitation of a school miss' first lusson is admirable. The whole entertainment can only be characterized aa delightful. We speak without exaggeration when ire say that onr city has never been visited by a per former wbo possesses inch a rare combination of abill ties as Robert Heller. Apkwklt BniLDiNOB.

Mercer, of the late Confederate army, is now on trial before a military commission, at Savannah, charged with the "murder of seven Union soldiers." It will be remembered by many of our citizens that a battalion then known as "galvanize! Yankees," while on duty near Hardeeville, on the Charles ton and Savannah Railroad, conspired to desert from the Confederate to the Federal forces. Through information from some of the men en gaged in tue conrpiracy, the plan tailed; the entire battalion was disarmed, the members im prisoned, and s even ot the prominent ringlead ers were tried beiore a court-martial, lound guilty of desertion, aud shot, General Mercer is now arraigned beiore a court-martial, and charged with the murder of those men, who were guilty of the hieheat olfense known to the retaliations and laws of war. The foregoing we clip from the Constitutional ist. We think our neighbor is in error. It was not near HardccuUe that the "galvanized Yan kees" conspired to desert, but near Law ton's Farm, seven miles from Savannah, just about one year and one week ago. We were tempo rarily on duty witn (ienerai Mercer at the time, acting ordnance oliicer, received the arms of the battalion, the members of which, instead of being imprisoned, built the pontoon bridges by which the Confederate forces lelt the city a few liouru previous to its occupation by General Sheiman s army. The men were not shot by (ienerai Mercer's order, having been found guilty of desertion only; but for a conspiracy to murder the Confederate pickets, in order thnt thev might escaue to tue l eoxrai lines, xuere are scores oi'ni'.'n in thib city to-day that are con versant with the&o nicts men whobo word will be taken in any court ol justice.

New Counterfeits aud Altered Bills Fnm the rrvtidmce Journal, December 29. The following-named counterfeits and altered bills have been in circulation here duriug the past week: Counterfeit threes on Sugar River Bank, New port, N. II. Counterfeit fives on the Weybossct Bank, of Providence. Counterfeit tens on the Thompson B:nk, Conn. Ones altered to three.3 0n the ilauk of America, ot Providence. Ones altered to lives on the Commercial Bank, of Providence. Ones altered to fives on the North Bank, Boston. A new counterfeit on the fifty dollar compound interest note is well executed aud very liable to deceive. The general engraving in the counter feit is coaricr than in the genuine; the word "lilty" in tho lower r'ght and left hand corner approaches near the bust and die; Jin tho coun ter Icit there is quite an open space. Tho sha low ot the Constitution in the vienelte of the genuine is quite light; in the counterfeit it is darker and tbe engraving coarser. Tho X in the "six per cent.-' of the genuine is crossed; in the counter feit it is not. All that have thus far appeared are dated July 15, 1804. Counterfeit" three dollar bills on the Claremnnt Bank, Claremont, N. H., are reported in circula tion. They are said to be an i nidation of the genuine note.
