THE ITALIAN Ott&A. . Nlht. Oiftcorno Meyerbeer'i drfttic musical works kve Blwaji been rwtivd with great favor kerf. His Semirornid fets held the Ijrlc stage as matchlejs prodnction since 1819, and will jrobably live through all time as his ablest com position. More popular now, because more jucdern, are hts Utfoeri le Dlah'e and Let ITugue nots. It Is a litflc remarkable, however, that his rooet briniant and most elaborate work, L'LXoile du JVbrd, has never been produced here. It Is truc that we have hal his Le Pardon 4e Pioermel and his VAfricaine, which were both compjd more recently than the Star of the North, at.d abound, like it, in elegant classical music and startling situations, hut no JW"'h eario has ever attempted La Stella dd Nord here, rr Indeed In this country, upou a cle of magnificence that would reudcr its pre sentation a fucccss. Meverbeer composed Pierre le Grand when he was sixty years.old, but In the full possession , ail his ot wonderful 'acuities. It was the eraa .fltoon of his ripest experience, his most matured taste, and his most noted period of ease, afflu ence, and success. He labored upon It for years, n,i thpro is everv reason to believe that he con sidered It his masterpiece. Above all his other works, it shows the brilliancy and versatility of the author, as well as his sublime appreciation nt the grand, the beautiful, and the true In God's greatest creations. He spent more time upon the Star of the North than upon his last great work, VAfricaine, yet the latter has created a furore wherever produced, while the former has rarely succeeded in eliciting much enthusiasm. The score of VKloile du Nord, like all of Meyerbeer's operas, is a perfect wonder of elaboration. There Is no posrlble expression of the sense or feeling in the subject but what Is lull? and forcibly pictured in the music, some tames in so detailed a manner as to be consi dered burdensome, were It not for the artificial relief in enchanting melody that, is constantly introduced. In the little incident snatched from the life of Peter the Oreat and his lovely Empress, which furnishes the plot of this opera, Meyerbeer found ample scope to compose a score which would cxhiuitall the emotions of the human pouI, as well as that unsophisticated nature which was entirely prevalent in Russia at the period described. For grandeur, subject-matter is fouLd In the various scenes: First, In the magnificent situations, then of a martial 6ort in the Silcfian camp, afterwards of a regal kind in the palace at St. Petersburg. The opera of VEloile du Nord was written in fr!4, lor the Opera Comique of ParU, where it continues to be a favorite. Attirwards it was Italianized for the ooera in London. Much of tbe music of Meyerbeer's Camp of Silesia Is in troduced, including a gipsy song and a duett with the flute. Its first production here last evening created an impression that will not soon be lorfjotten. By jecinl request it will be repeated on Wednesday evening; we, therefore, here intro duce tbe argument or ploi ol the opera: "At the commencement of the first act, the curtaiu liscs on a village near Wyborg, on Wall of Finland. 'Panilowitz,' a Russian pastry rook, is selling his pies to a croup ot shop car penters, among whom is 'Peter Micaelol,' dis guised. They challenge biui to drink to Ihe bealiU of Charles XII of Sweden. He refuses, ftiid is hupportud by 'Peter.' Eurupad at tuis, tde worknieu are about to assault thein, wheu the doek-jard bell sounds, and they are com pelled o uo to their labors. 'Peter' remains, and engage's Mlanilowitz' to folio hiui into Russia. Alter 'Danilowilz' bus left the srene, a flute if heard, and on 'Peter's' replying, 'George,' tbe brother ot 'Catharine,' a caiUiniere, appears at the door of tbe cottage. 'Catharine' has gone to ask lor 'Pracovia,' lue daughter of tne village innkteper, to be given in marriage to her brother. As they drink to her success, she come on tbe s-tage. Alter telling them that she had succeeded, "she accuses 'Peter' and her brother of their love for drinking, and tells the former of a prophecy made by her mother upon her death-bed, rat-pecting her future husband. On meeting him, she recognized something so proud and grand in the expression of bis face, that she thought him to be above her own class in life. He demands what she thinks now. 'Catherine' is otl'ended at hU tone of command, when 'Praseovia rushe3 In. A par'.y of Cossacks are plundering the villa?-!, but 'Catharine' volunteers to save them, and 'Peter' determines upon watching her.

After preiicting their forluues, they recire, and 'George,' with 'Praseovia,' leave the 'stage to make arrangements tor their wediin.

'Catherine' undertaking to find him a subst'l tute.ifor fifteen days disguising? himself, ascends the jetty, and embarks in his place, as the mar riace ceremony continues. "In the second act, 'Catharine' is in the Rus sian camp, disguised as a soldier.

Her retoratlon to reason has been completed, and the curtain lalls." Notwitb'tandirg the deluging rain of last evening, the audience present at the Academy to witness the performance of the Star of the North was very largo, brilliant, and distingue, and the rendition of the glorious work, on the whole, amply repaid those who "battled with the elements" to witness it. As a spectacular opera merely, It was worth.witnesslng last even ing, for it was put upon the stage in the best style, and utterly regardless of expense. The great camp scene in the second act was superbly picturesque, and at times, when the stage was occupied by the principal singers, the chorus, the soldiers, etc., the ensemble presented was at once grand and imposing. &The tableau at the end of the first act, where tbe curtain falls, when the embarkation of the "voyageurs" and "Katharina" (Miss Kellogg) slugs a "farewell" to those in the departing boat, is also highly effective. In fact, the whole I era seems to have received the utmost and most minute attention from tho management; and, as a consequence, was presented to the public last night in a way that would have done honor to tbe best of the opera houses in Europe. The dresses were all new and hand some, and the various changes of cos tume necessary to be made by tbe per formers, principal und secondary, chorus, and all, were rigidly adhered to. The perfornAnce itself was very fine Miss Kellogg, Miss Elauck, Bellini, and Amonuccl, in the principal roles, doing their utmost for the success of the occa sion. Miss Kellogc's rendering of the magnifi cent gem at the close of tho first act "Tesrlia dal ciel su lor," was delightful. Her rich sym pathetic voice and splendid execution have never been heard to better advantage, aud the ovation bbe received at the fall of the curtain, immediately after her singing of it, wai abun dantly deserved. Throughout the whole of the opera, vocally and dramatically she was.in deed'most acceptable and artistic. We question if her arduous role could have been invested, with more of the sterling spirit of the true arti-de, for she entered inta the impersonation con amore, and achieved one of the most gratifying successes of tbe evening. Her "Andiam, amici" in tbe first act was loudly applauded, as was also ber duet with Signor Antonncei, "Al suor.delle trombe." An tonncci's superb voice was very effective in this piece, and the two fine artistes created great enthusiasm by their excelicit acting and sing ing in it. Antonucci, as "Petero," was all that could have been desired. He looked, sang, and acted the character to the very life, and whether viewed as the simple "Petero" or the subsequent Czarkhewas equally satisfactory. Bellini had a role in "Griztnzo" exactly suited to him, aud his impersonation of it left nothing to wish for. His aria in the first act, "Al fusco alia polve," w as splendidly given, rnd the scene In which it occurs was acted out by the artist to perfec tion. His acting in the tbird act, where, as tbe "Corporal," he has to.drill his recruits, was also most admirable, and the characteristic rote he sings in doing so was loudly encored. Miss Hauck, as "Praseovia," looked charm ingly picturesque, and fully met tbe brilliant re quirements of her part. The splendid duet which occurs in tbe first act, " Oh qual delirlo," was capitally sung by her. and Miss Kellogg, and received a well-merited encore. Indeed, all that Miss Hauck attempted during the evening bore the impress of tbe careful and capable artist, and her efforts added materially to the reputa tion which her ''Aroma" In Sonnambula created nr Tier. The tenor di gratia of Signor Baragli was, at times, hardly equal to the emergencies of the part of "Danilowitz," but, as a whole, it was acceptably rendered. His distinct enunciation, artistic style, and fervent manner atoned in a great measure for the Ughtne.is of his voice, and. gave an importance to his role which it otherwise would nol have been entitled to. His opening aria, "Chi ne Voin," requires artistic treatment to give it effect, and this Baragli gave to it in an eminent degree. The minor char acters of the opera were all very respectably filled, taking the fact Into consideration of this being the first performance of the work. 2he Star of the North Is abundantly endowed wl;h most effective and striking choruses.

To-morrow, second and last time ol The Star of the North, THE BATEMAN CONCERTS. A Critical Analyst mil a General Dl. ertatton. The first of the series of Batetnan concerts was given last evening at Musical Fund Hall to a highly intelligent and large audience, con sidering the nnpropitious state of the weather, wtich prevented many hoiders of tickets from being present. The enteitainment was as superior as it was rare in this good City of Brotherly Love, and we may safely say that a more excellent combi nation of artistic talent Was seldom, if Indeed ever, presented to a Philadelphia audience. It was not with this troupe as is too often the case with others one particular star shining radi antly and triumphantly over Insignificant mu sical associates who contribute nothing of the slightest import to the entertainment. Here every performer, without exception, was a most thorough artiste, capable in a superlative degree ot verifying the reputation with which they came heralded to us. ' The program me oi last evening was indeed most choice and well adapted, an additional proof of the sound judgment and discretion of the singers themselves, which is toe often lost sight of by many professionals, apart lrom actual ability and superiority In any special line of general vocalization. Thus, for instance, we frequently findj singers of fame, when keeping within a legitimate range of action, endangering their reputation and greatly injuring their clearness and sweetness ol tone, by essaying passagps out side their natural compass, and which can only he reached by some artificial effort, readily de- tected.by a critical ear, and rarely, if ever, de serving of trutbtul commendation. The greatest anxiety prevailed last night to lear Madame Parepa, prima donna, and alleged successor, by merit, of the Swedish Nightingale. So much talk has been had, aud public curiosity excited to such an extent during the last week concerning this lady, let us first inquire Who is Madame Parepar Madame Euphrosine Parepa was horn in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is the daughter of Count Demetrius Parepa, a Walla chian nobleman of high" rank, who left his country for political reasons. Her mother was Elizabeth, or "Lisbeth," Seguin, bister of the celebrated and popular baso, Mr. Edward Seuuin. The mother had a beautiful voice, was a flue artiste, and her devotion to her profession probably inflhenced the destiny of herdaughter, Euphrosiue Parepa. , Her musical education was acquired during her lone residence In Hpain and Italy, whither her mother's musical engagements led her. ' Her debut was made on the island of Malta, at the Opera House, in 185(1, where her success was very brilliant. From thence she took the tour of the provincial operatic cities, Naples, Milan, Florence, etc., and afterwards, with very great success, visiting Lisbon, Madiid, Rome, Berlin, Frankfort, and Hamburg, from thence to Lon don, which has been her home for the last few years, and, finally, ber preocnt trip to the United States. M'me Parepa is a lady of large though grace ful proportions, is very pretty, and carries her self with great ease upon the stage. Her voice is a full, natural, and clear-toned soprano of the very highest order ot merit, and well de serving of the encomiums she has already re ceived. Her appearance was the signal for un mistakably heartfelt and long-continued applause, which she most gracefully and pro perly acknowledged. Silence being restored, she Introduced the cavatina "Einani Involaml,'1 from the beautiful opera of Ernani, by Verdi, in which her voice rose rich and sonorous, pure and steady, throw ing Into the music a spirit and power which gave it a marked vitality. She, in this first piece, proved herself an accomplished artiste in the tnust sense of the word, and she certainly is deseivins the warmest critical applause. Of all Verdi's works we preler Mrnam, for the freshness and the earnestness of its melodies, the skilful treatment ot its concerted pieces, and the massive grandeur of its finales, with their thoughtful and varied accompaniment. Tbe nature aud meaning of the composer is most gloriously ill jstrated, when his morceaux are entrusted tj such a singer as Madame Paiepa. In the second part she gave the "Nightingale's Trill" (a song appro priately named) with perfection itself; ana the applause which greeted her at the termination showed how greatly and truly her voice, cultlva tlon, and musical intelligence were appreciated As an encore to this piece she sang the Scotch ballad "Coming through the Rye,'' which she gave with all the versatility, and decided nppli cation of emphasis, and modest gesticulation of the "gentle lassie who lo'ed sae weel." Next in order, we will take Mr. S. B. Mills, who has the reputation of being not only the most finished pianist in Ameiica, but the peer of the best players ot classical music abroad. He performed a fautasia arranged by Liszt from rf.cair.e, by Mejerbeer, and a solo entitled -i"ce ualop ' composed by himself.

He and Wehll are the two greatest pianists who have visited Philadelphia for very many years. Mr. Carl Rosa performed the "Souvenir da Haydn," "Auld Robin Gray." and a "Caprice Jantasique," as solos upon the violin, and proved himselt to be master of that instrument, excelling all others we have had here for sweet ness and purity of tone and brilliancy of execu tion, ine lasi-namea piece was use tne r Dup ing and warbling of birds tn some of the rapid passages, aa was also portions of the "Carnival of Veilce," given as an encore, which was brought to a rather abrupt termination, however, by the eudden mapping of his G string, an unavoid able acciueni, w men Doth, the audience and pirformer received good naturedlv. Hts play ing much resembles that of F. Jchln Prtime, who performed at the Strakoseh concert In this city on the 6th lust,, excepting that the last named gives his forte passages with much more otrentrth and vigor than Roa. Tho last named is quite a young man, and must have studied and practised with much diligence aid careful attention. Wpnor Brlgnoli was most enthusiastically applauded by the entire audience upon making his appearance on the platform, showing that his former'acqualntances have not loat sight ot him, or been carried rapturously away by more pietending but less competent tenors. He last night commenced with the romanza "M'Ap pari," from Flotow's Martha, In which he had irequent opportunity for displaying the best portion of his voice, aud he used these oppor tunities to the best advantage. He is as unctuously rich in his voice as ever, and has a smooth, sweet quality, capable of the highest inflections, lrom tue whispered to the emphatic emotion. The voice Is in the highest state ot cultivation: his stvlo is pure, free trom exaeeeratlon, lull of grace and sentiment, but at tue came time animated und emphatic, lie is at all times the greatest possible acquisition to any troupe ne may De connected witn. His second selection was "In terra cl de vitero." by Gaetano Mcrcadante. and on the encore, which the audience peremptorily and somewhat emphatlcaHv appeared to insist noon. he good-naturedly gave the ballad in English: uooa-uvp, Bweemeari, gooa-oyei" Tbe duetto which be sanj with Madame Parepa, "Da quel di che t'in contrai," by Doni zetti, was a sparkling gem of graceful vocal discipline, and elicited much applause. It is an andantino movement in two-four time, chang ing, however, Into the common (allegretto model ato) of the last stanza. "Quel dover eclar nel core" not diflicult of execution, but re quiring much nicety of expression. The con cluding accented strain, dwelliug on an a--ci dental B flat and G natural, was aecidedly and correctly empnasizea, and the cadence at the end was truly Deautirul. it Is no wonder that Donizetti was one ot the most admired of Italian composers, as his best works (such as Lin1a) sparkle with piquant and gracclully florid melodies, with musical ideas worked up Into concentration with the preatt-st possibje effect. He is essentially dra matlc in the plot and construction ot his operas. and understood well the art of stimulating the enthusiasm oi tne general audience. Sienor Ferranti is a basso buffo In voice, loox, action, and gesticulation, lie is pecu liarly humorous, and rendered his two pieces in capital styie. rue or.-i was tne cavatina "Largo al factotum della citta" ("Room for tho citv's factotum hrre"). an alleero movem?nt in Rossini's Barbiere de Seville, and imitactug the antics ot an eccentric "Monsieur do Ton- son." eacer for business, and nroclttiminz his own merits. The piece was most capitally suns. and Detter ii'ustrated oy gcsunuiuttous. tits second selection was a tarantella by the same composer, and entitled "Gia la Luna." A Tarantella is a swift, delirious son of Italian dance, in whirling six-eight measure. The form has been adopted by many composers of the modern school, as Thalbere. Liszr. ChODin. and iiosini. in Italy some ot the superstitious believe that the peribrjiance of this danc?, or song, has tbe virtue ot curing tbe bite of a venomous species ot bpidcr. called Tarantella Irrra which act the title hits been given this stvle ol music.

When be was atout leaving nr. jouis, the informant in the case was requested by Gov. ernor Fletcher to ask Governor Morton, of in- d'ana, what Dumber or arms he could spare to Missouri. Governor Morton replied, when the messaee was delivered, that he could not say that he had any to spare; that there were about one hundred thousand stand, with plenty of am munition, in tbe arsenal; he would see wnat could be spared, and confer with Governor Fletcher. Out of thl correspondence grew the con ference of the Governors at Philadelphia, which it in now well known was for the purpose, imninrnlhun. of dit rihntinff arms throughout the country. Outside of the statement of this officer there is indubitable evidence In the hands of President Johnon of the secret distri bution of large quantities of arms throughout the Northwest on various pretexts, all of which, however, are legal and plausible enouch. While the startling character of this story causes it to be incredulously received bamany, the character of the officer making the state ment, the known desperate characters ot tne leaders implicated In the scheme, anl much corroborative evidence receive ! cause r, to De fenerally believed among the President's ad erents. The actual facts reearding ihe rumored re signation of Secretary btanton are about as fol lows: He is now encased In making out his re port, and as soon as it is finished he will un doubtedly retire. Ills resignation has been precipitated by tbe discovery lately made tnai Mr. Stanton has filled nearly all the vacancies lu the regular army wituoul the knowledge or assent oi jur. jonnson. lie has been for some time making out the commissions and forwarding them to the ao- poiutees, with orders to them to report to Gene ral Grant for duty. General Grant supposing them, as appeared trom the face ot their papers, duly appointed by the President, has assigned them to duty, and they are now at service wita out the knowledge of the President. Oa learn ing this lact, the President, very anary, sent tor Mr. Stanton, and dmanded an explanation. The result was the retirement of Mr. Stanton as soon as he could make out his repirt, on which he is now engaged. The bt-ltet gains eround that General Sherman is to succeed Mr. Stanton pro tern. He cannot of course hold the otlice and thit of Lieutenant General at the same tine, but at tbe request of General Grant, who desires fie hearty co-operation of the war office in the work of reorganizing tbe army, Sherman will act as Secretary pf War. The National Government will interfere neither one way nor tbe other in the Baltimore matter.

Tbe Incendiary spirits who are invoking tho populace of Baltimore to violence will be pro perly attended to by the State authorities ot Maryland. In case they prove insufficient, then, of course, the National Government may inter fere and restore orde.r. But no danger is bel eved to be imminent.
