BEETHOVEN.
THIS SON 4TA.S0VEllEIr.
MISHivreof the Urrat Musician, Etc.
Messrs. Hurd & Houghton peers of our
oldest houses in the value and cxtrnt of their
toelleB-lcttres publicntions havejint issued an
txcecdliiL'ly valuable collection of the letters
el Ludwig von Beethoven. Xho preeent collec
tion, tranMated Irora tlie German, by Grace
Wallace, embraces the material of both Gorman
collections, to wit: the collection of Dr. Lud
wig Mohl, which tonus the Bret part of Lady
Wallace's work, and tbat of Dr. Ludwig Ritter,
which has been added to the book and within it
incorporated. The edition of these letters, pre
pared bj Lady Wallace, is accompauicd with a
portrait of Beethoven, engiaven on stetil, from
an original paintintr in the possession of Dr. T.
O. vou Karajan, which h valuable, because new
to the public, and because accounted by virtuosi
to be the very best likeness of Beethoven eitant.
The translation is artistically done, exhibit
ing few Teutonlsms and fewer misapprehen
sions of the sense of the original text.
Whatever may have been the faults of
Beethoven and they weie many like ull men
of genius, his nature was one of heroic anil
almost p.-opbetio depth, and his mind one of
profound creative fecundity. There was about
him a severity of autique dignity, the ethical
sentiment iorming the main clement of that
Which gave his miud its peculiar bent; and
consequently his letters exhibit, in drea often
home-spun and unreslrjetle, his profound intui
tion of the true and ot the good, as well as of
the beautiful, and are full of hits at the follies
and meannesses of his ugc. There is an undr
current of deep aesthetic and ethical energy
pervading these letters fragmentary in form
as they are which binds them together in one
indivisible unity. Thero is that proud haughti
ness of self-conscioueness we use the word in
its German sense which grasps the soul with
strange magnetism. Beethoven was the Milton
of musical creation; and between his creations
and those of Milton we may (or might, had we
space allotted) woik out wonderful analogical
resemblances.
Meantime, however, we have but space for
examples of these letierc, by way of giving a
taste of their quality and of the singular weird
nees of inner soul-energy that there is withlu
them:
Motives of the Art-Life.
The following exempt is from Beethoven's
letter to the directors of the Court Theatre,
dated at Vienna, December, 1807:
TO THE DIRECTORS OP THE COURT THEATRE.
Vienna, December, 1807. The undersigned
has cause to flatter himself that, during tbe
period ot hia slay at Vmnna, he has gained some
lavor and approbation from tne highest nobility,
as well as lroui the public at lare, bis work
having met with an honorable recaption both
in this and other couinries. Nevertheless, he
has had difficulties 01 every kind to contend
against, and has not hitherto been so tortuuate
as to acquire a position that would enable him
to live Boiily for art, ana to develop his talents
to a still higher degree of periection, which
ought to be the aim of every arti-c, thus ensur
ing future independence instead of mere casual
profits.
The mere wish to gain a livelihood has never
been the leading class that has hitherto guided
the undersigned on his path. His great aim
has been ttie interest of art and the ennobling
of taste, while his genius, soaiing to a higher
ideal and greater periection. frequently com
pelled him to sacriace hij talents and profits to
the Mum. Still, works of this kirn' (
- - 'It'' TT VIA 1U1
him a reputation Q dlsUui lands, securing him
them.oet favorable reception- in various places
distinction, and a position beuttiug hiB
talents and acquirements.
Pi-oposMi to the Court Theatre. .
The following excerpt, from the same letter,
illustrates the compensations awarded in ins
day to operatic creations:
1. The undersigned undertakes and pledges
himself to compose, each year, at least one
grand opera, to be selected by the directors and
himself; in return for this he demands a 6ed
salary of two thousand lour hundred florins a
year, and also a free benefit at the third per
formance ol each such opera.
2. He also agrees to supply the directors
annually with a little operetta or a divertisse
ment, with choruses or occasional music of the
kind, as may be required, pratis; he leebconrt
dent that, on the other hand, the directors will
not refuse. In return for these various labors, to
firani him n benefit concert, at all even's, once
a year, in one of the theatres. .Surely, the above
conditions cannot be thought exorbitant or un-
reasonable when the expenditure ot time and
energy entailed by the production of an op?ia
1s taker. iLto account, as it entirely excludes the
possibility ot all other mental' exertion; in
other places, too, the author and his family
have a share in the profits of every individual
performance, so that even one successful work at
once insures the future fortunes ot the com
poser. It must also be considered how preju
dicial the present rate of exchange is to
artists heie, and likewise the high prico of the
necessaries of life, while a residence in foreign
countries is open to them.
Attempts at Humor.
Letters e'ghty one and eighty-two, both ad
dressed to Zmeskall, and dated respectively
February 2, 1812, and February 8, 1812, Ulus
trate the peculiar humcr of the great composer,
and are droll enough in their Germanism for
quotation:
TO ZMESKALL.
February 2, 1812. By no means extraordi
nary, but very ordinary mender of pens l whoso
talent has failed on this occasion (tor those I
send require to be fresh mended), when do you
intend at last to cast oil" your fetters? when?
xou never lor a moment think ot me; accuroed
to me is life amid this Austriau barbarism. 1
shall go now chiefly to the Swan, as in other
taverns I cannot defend myself against intru
sion. Farewell! that is, fare as well as I wish
yon to do without your friend, Beethoven.
Most wonderful of men ! We beg that your
servant will engaee a person to fit up my apart
ment; as he is acquainted with the lodgings, ho
con fix the proper price at once. Do this soon,
you Carnival scamp !!!!!!!
The enclosed note is at least a week old:
TO ZMESKALL,
February 8. 1812. Most extraordinary uud
Jiret and foremott man of the pendulum lu the
world, and without a lever, too ! ! !
I am much,iudebted to you for having lin-
?arted to me some shure of your motive power,
wish to express my uratltude in person, ouJ,
therefore, invite you this morning to como to
the Swan a tavern, the mime of which itself
shows that it is a fitting place whoa such a sub
ject is in question.
Ifours ever, Beethoven.
The LouilAu Plilllmrmoulc.
In a letter, addressed to F. Sies, London, and
dated at Vienna, July 9, 1817, he remits the con
ditions under which he promises to compose a
couple of grand symphonies for the London
Philharmonic Society:
TO F. BIK3, LONDON.
Vienna. July 9, 1817. My Dear Friend: Th
propo-als in your eMe-ined letter of the ninth of
Juno are very llatteriotr, and mv reply will show
you how nuich I value ttieiu. Wore it not for my
unhappy intirmiMi'8. which entail both attend

the etler ot the Philharmonic Hoc'ety. lint place
tonTfclf in nty position, and consider how m iny
inore obstacles 1 have to contend with than any
other artist, and then Jitdtre whether mv demands
(which 1 vo ft aniipx) are unreason able. 1 beg
jou will convey my conditions to tbe directors
of the above ( ociety. numelr:
1. I f hull be In London early In January. ,
2. The two grand new nymphonles shall be
ready by that time; to become the exclusive
property of the Society.
3. Tbe Society to eive me, in return, three
hurdicd guineas, and one hundred for my tra
velling expenses, which will, however, amount
to much more, as 1 Bin obliged to bring a com
panion. " .
4. As I em now beginning to work at these
grand symphonies for tne Society, 1 shall epcct
that ton reccivn.g my consent) they will remit
me here the sum of oue hundred and filly
cuincas, so that I may provide a carriage, and
make my other preparations at once for the
journey.
5. The conditions as to my non appearance lu
any other public oicbestra, my not directing,
and the preference always to be given to the
Society on tbe offer of equal terms by them, are
accepted by me; indeed, they would, nt all
events, bave been dictated by my own sense of
honor.
6. I shall expect the aid of the Society In
arranging one or more bcncGt concerts in my
behalf, as tbo case may be. The very friendly
feelings of some of the directors in your
valuable body, and the kind reception of my
works by all the artists, is a suflicient g iaranteo
on this point, and will be n slill lurther induce
ment to me 1o endeavor not to disappoint their
expectations.
7. I request that 1 may receive the assent to
and confirmation of the.-o terms, sinned by three
directors, in the name of the Society. You may
easily lnmcrlne how much I rejoice at tbo
thoughts of becoming acquainted with the
worthy Sir George Smart (music director), and
seeir.g vou and Mr. Meate again; would that I
could tly to vou myself, iustead of this letter!
Your sincere well-wisher and iriend,
Luuwia von Beethoven.
Home Difficulties.
Wo conclude our excerpts from these curiosi
ties with a whimsical letter of the composer to
his nephew-son, which is without dales
TO HIB NEPHEW.
My Dear Son: Send this letter at onco to my
pseudo-brother, and odd something yourself. It
is impossible to permit this to continue any
longer; no soup to-day, no beef, no eggs, and at
last Lroikd meat troni the inn 1
When Holz was with me lately, there was
really almost nothing to eat at sunper; and such
is the woman's bold and insolent behavior, that
I have told her to-day I will not sutler her to re
main beyond the end ot the month. No more
to-day. All that is necessary about the magis
trate is for me to write a note, authorizing you
to draw the mouey ; but it would bo as well were
you to take (he opportunity ot asking what you
are to do about converting the bunk shires into
a share in Kotbschild's loan. Ishnllsay nothing
further, except that I always look on you as my
dear son, and one who deserves to be so. Litilo
as I require what nourishes the body, as you
know, still the present state of things is really
too bad, besides being every moment in danger
of being poisoned.
Farewell 1 Bo careful, my dear son, of your
health in this heat; I trust you will continue
well. Shun all that may enervate or dsminish
jour youthful enemies. Farewell ! A plcasnnt
talk together would be far better than ull this
writing. Ever your loving and attached lather,
who fondly presses jou to his heart.
Lunwia von Beethoven.

The Case of John Morau, the Seutcucccl
Murderer The Application for Com
mutation of Sentence Denied The
Escape of Shluborn from Prison.
Boston, Deceniber 4. This morning, the 6nal
bearing in the case of John Morutl, sentenced to
ho hung lor the murder ot Mary Ellen Kearney,
in the doorway of a house in Koxbury, on the
evening of March 19, took place. The Com
mittee on Pardons decided adversely to the ap
plication ol commutation of sentence, and Fri
day, the 25th of January next, was fixed upon
as the day for his execution. The application
was based on tbe ground that Moran was labor
ing under a temporary atlacic of insanity at the
time be committed the act.
The case of Haudall vs. Brigham was brought
up in the United States Circuit Court this morn
ing, before Judge Lowell. This was a suit
brought by Mr. Itaudall against Judge Brigham
for striking his name from the roll of members
ot the Suffolk bar. Mr. Handall stated that he
this morning received a letter and a telegraphic
desiatch liom James T. Brady, Esq., ot Kew
York, whom Mr. Randall had engaged for his
counsel, saving that, on account ot the pre63ure
ot other business, which could not be post
poned, he would not be able to appear to day,
and should bo obliged to decline conducting the
case. The case was accordingly postpoued, and
will be tried before a jury at the next session of
the Court.
Mark ShinVom, the noted burglar, who
escaiied irom the Concord (N. II ) State
t'rison yesterday, was convicted a year ugo ot
the robbery of the Walpole (H. 11.) Bank, and
tentenced for ten years, lie e;Caped soon after
wards, was rearrested, and taken direct to
Concird. His escape on Monday was with the
aid ol an accomplice, w ho had bored rive aueur
holes low down in the great gute. ihe pri
soners were going in procession from- their
workshops to their cells, across the yard, when
Miinborn made a sudden dash to the gate, tore
off a portion of the lower plank, which broke
where the five augur holes had been made,
sprang through the openiner, and climbed over a
woorlshed.
A bullet fired in tbo yard misled him. Out
side the woodsbed there was an accomplice
waiting with a carriage. Shinborn jumped in,
tore oil his prison jacket, wrapped a coat around
him, and dropped down under cover of the buf
falo robes, his comrade meanwhile driving the
horee down State stieet. They were out of sisrht
bclote the officers could pursue. A reward of
$1000 has been offered lor his capture. A letter
has been found in a laleo bottom of his work
shop drawer, saying that the plauks were all
right, and the signal would be looked for on
Monday. To carry on the correspondence it is
supposed fon e one gained acee&s nightly to the
workshop by scaling the walls. A reward is
offered for his arrest.
There was a steady demand for Government
securities to-day. The supply of paper currency
was in excees ol the demand tor commercial
and other purposes.
It Is probable thut General Grant will attend
the meeting of the veterans ot the late war at
Concord, N. II., on New Year's day.
The Committee of the City Council upon the
selection ot a suitable design for a monument to
commemorate the heroic deeds of our solJiers,
have resolved to break ground for its erection
on the 1st of January next, w hen Ihe corner
stone will be laid on'the sUe ot the llnor-tntf on
the bill near the frog pond. Ihe program uie ot
the ceremonies has not . set been agreed upon,
but it is anticipated that there will be au im
mense military and civic parado, an i au ad
dress. The monument is to cost $100,000, and
when completed w ill be one of the handsomest
specimens of architecture In the country.
Horse-Meat Butcher-Shops A lute Paris let
ter fas: "Two of thce eitabhehnieuts are
sustained in this city, but the horses ot ona of
lhe.e slaughter-bonks are not served for the
table; they are aulinrls e polled by disease, and
tue merchandise only as far as hoofs, hHe,
teeth, hair, and preae aie concerned. The
universal testimony as to horse-meat concurs
with that which many army oncers and sol
diers have plveu that it Is very like beef, orly
tbat it is coarser grained and of darker color.
It is a curious tact that white aud grey horscB
are more frequently diseased than any othora,
their limps bciiiK not rarely a mass of corrup
tion, thus ver.vttylinr the old ad ii;e, 'As ooor
us a while iior.e.' The hordes are killed
imtunlly by a bl iw on tho heal, or by beiuir
pierced at the heart."
