Hut of the Juitit, the Margaret, and tuo Maria of Mad'lle Patti there Is nothing new to say. Their conspicuous fcaturea are familiar to opera goers in London, and their merits, vocal and dramatic, arc unanimously admitted. No moro need be added than that on tbe occasion referred to she selected from "Komeo e Giull etta" tbe first act, containing the lively cavatlna In waltz measure, "Ucllacalma d'un belsoifno." ana the so stviecl madrigal, "ADglol regina," in which Juliet and liomeo first exchange senti ments; from "Faust," tbe "garden seene,"the finest and most genuine passage in that opera, find probably In all Gouuod: and from "La FlgUa del Kegglmcnta," the scene in which at a music lesson, accompanied on the piano-forte by tbo Marchioness ot Uerkendeld. the ci devant Vivamliere, tired of the rcttrairlt imposed upon her, and egged on to rebellion by Sergeant Bulpizio, petulantly tears up her music, and, mbsiitming the old eons for tbo new, attacks With euthustftiiu the chat actio Kata plan. "Each of these well-known seines was done to absolute perfection, and in each Mile. Pattl roused tbe audience to au extraordinary degree ot enthusiasm. Tuo brilliant waltz o(Ju ie'. wai heurtily encored; the same compliment was paid to the not less brilliant 'Air des Bijoux' of JLforr gmet, aud again to the Rataplan ot Maria. Never, indeed, did the most popular stage singer ot the day exhibit her manifold Rifts and accom plltfuaieuts to belter advautage. Her principal associate in 'Borneo e Giulietta,' and 'Fauto AlurgherUa,' was Signor Mario, Happily in his best mood; and thus the first interview between the 'star-crossed lovers1 in the former, and the garden ecene in the latter, were represented with a grace and truthfulness impossible to surpass. To crown the whole, Mile. Pattl give the solos in 'God 6ave the Queen' wkh a vlor and point which cau only be explained by the fact of her being quite ns conversant with the .English language a with her own. The evening, in short, was one series of triumphs. "Bulorc these words are In type Mad'lle Pattl 'willhave become a French marciljues; her niarriHpe with the Mxrquh de Canx. a nobleman attached to the Imperial court of France, having lctn announced t tuke place this morning at 11 o'cluclt, in the Catholic Chapel of St. Mary's, Clapbnm Park. It is not our usual custom to pay attention to such mutters; but ai it is pos sible, though we trust improbable, that this new turn of lorlune may sooner than later deprive the Italian lyric slne of one ot its brightest ornaments, we are tempted to refer to it, and further to take the oppoi tuuiiy ot Dtierly recapitu lating the history of Mad'lle Patti's past career in im; bind. Few lovers of Italian opera can Lave forgotten the universal reeret caued by the almcbt sudden death, at fct. Petersburg, of that admirable eiuger, Mine. Angiolioe Oosio. In April, 18oti. With her it seemed that we had lost tbe only genuine Italian soprano on the Ttalinn stage. Her pluce 111 supplied at the Rovsl Italian Optra by Mme. Molan Carvalho, too essentially Freuch t accommodate herself readily to the Italian style, and not supplied at all by Mme. Lotti, or by any other singer upon whom, in lfifiS tinrl l!!fi;i. Mr. n.inld Itur bands admitting as we must in fairness, the practistd talent ot Mme, Peuco, who belonged rather to the Grist than to the UoBio school. A jesr later, however, the memorable year of the second series of Mme. Gribi's 'farewell per formances,' the year of the closiug of her Majebty's Theatre, nnl of Mr Mupleoon's first Adventure as n director of Italian Opera (at the Lyceum), when thing looked dull and unprom ising enough at Covent Garden, a new phe nomenon suddenly appeared. Tliat phenomenon was Adelina Patti, who, unheralded by any pre liminary flourish of trumpets, on tbe UtU of May, 18C1, took operatic London by storm. Nobody, in lact, except those whose special business It is to occspy themselves with musical matters, at homo and abroad, bad eveu heard of her. The opera was 'l.a Sonnambula,' and when the Amina of the evening tripped on the Btage to impart the fulness or her joy to her associates in the melodious recitative, 'Care Cimpagne,' there was a general feeling of surprise. She looked like a mere child, slight in form and diminutive in stature somethiug from which . to expect great things would be absurd. And that no one expected great things was evident troni the general apathy of tho bouse. Bat at the conclusion of the recitative the ice was broken. 'No such voice has been beard since the voice Of Angloline Bosio was silent, and no such singing. ThU was confirmed in 'Come per me sereno;' and 89 the opera proceeded tbe audi ence grew warmer and warmer. The bed-room scene, to old opera-goers, almost revived the days of Malibran, and the 'Ah non giunge,' that mobt rapturous ot finales according to the manner, so essentially different from the manner of Mozart and Beethoven, in which certain ad-' mired Italian composers express raptsre put the seal upon a triumph as indisputable as was ever gained by a debutaute. The day after the papers were loud in her praises; and it was as true of Mile. Patti as of Lord Byron, that one morning she awoke and found hersull famous. In tbe same year the new singer played Lucca, with great success, though with hardly so much as followed her Amina and for tho best of reasons she was . not tbe consummate actress she is now; Vio- leita ('La TraviaU'); Zerlina ('Don Giovanni'), on one of the 'Grlsi farewell nights,' effectively eclipsing Mme. Carvalho, who bad played Zer lina in tho earlier part of tbe season; Marlfia, 1 7, .... . , in n L.i ,i . . . . . i . l. liu ao0474 ii DHruiere,' again, vasuui urr predecessor, Mm. Carvalho, into the shade. AU this time her vogue was increasing. Each part earned for Mad'lle Patti a step onward in public estimation, and at the end of the season, as Hchumann said on the apparition of Schu bert's urt trio, 'die Weliglanlt weider rfsci' for tbe manager of tbe Royal Italian Opera, at all events. "That Mad'lle Putti was the abiding 'star' of tbe season 18C2 may well bo imagined. Never theless, she added only two parts to thoe we have enumerated Farina ('Don Pasquale') and Jimorah, in th opera po called; the latter a per formance in all respects so remarkable that it Is ditlicult to understand why It has never been re peated. No such impersonation of the dieainy and romantic heroine of Meyerbeer's charming pastoral ns that ot Mad'lle Patti has been wit nessed since 'Dinorah' was first produced in London,unur Meverheer's own superintendence, In ltlu'J. Jn 18i3, Maii'lle Pattl brought four new parts to her alread v exteutive repertory Leonora ('II Trovatore'), Amelia ('La Gazza Ladra'), Adina ('L'Klinr d'Amore'), and Maria ('La 'iglia del Keggimento'). Tbe fln.1 and second of . mesa sue nas apparently abandoned, although both created a marked impression; but Adwa, the queen of village coquettes, has alwavs been one ot her most popular, as It is one of her most original and highly nuisued impersonations; and lew amateurs can look buck without lwornt. to those evenings on which Donizetti's most Keinai opera could be heurd with Patti, Mirio, and Koiiconi. each incomparable, in three ot ii L, aill,.'K l"41"1. aud nothing wanting but a lamburinl as tho recruiting sergeant to make the performance oerfert. "In 1864 Mlie. Pattl wa again the favorite and most coustont attraction, notwithstanding a now uu lormiaaoie competitor in Mlie.

In 1865 MUo. Pattl csayed, tor the first time in-England, th pari of Linda, in Donlrettt's -'Linda di Chamounl.' la tbe previous- wlnUr J'arls had been in ecstacies with, 4his latest assumption of their favorite's; and a, thrre years before, Parli had unanimously endorsed the opinion of London about the merits of Mile. Patti, It was agreeable sow to find London in Its turn endorsing the opinion or Paris. Mile Pattt tried no other freh character in 1865. - In I860, as Ca'erina, In 'L'KtollIe du Nord.'shc present as with a musical Caierina equal to tbatot Mme. Bosio (tbo original in London), and a dranttic Caierina superior to that of Mme. BoMo; while her Annaita, the cobbler's wife, In the 'some what trivial 'Crlsplno e la Co mare' of the bro thers Ricci, added yet another to her long list of comic impersonations; one, too, wnicu must always bo vividly remembered, if only for the dance at the nu of Act II, executed with such engaging grace and quietude to the accompani ment of a series of brilliant vocal passages, a four de force that would have gone far to keep even a feebler production than this same opera on its legs. About the Juhet in the Italian ver sion of M. Gounod's 'liomeo e Glulietta,' the one character added to Mad'lle Patti's list In 1867, enough has been recently said to absolve us from tbe necessity of doing more than repeat that it exhibits her genius and talent in their ripe maturity, and is one of the most remark able exhibitions oi the modern lyric drama. A more Ideal embodiment, iudecd, of one of our great dramatist's most poetic creations could not easily be imagined. "In the season just expired not a single new character has been a-s'gned to Mad'lle Patti, although we were promised Emira ('I Puritani'), OUda t'ltieoletto'). and the unknown Oiovanna a'Arco; but happily there is always somethiug irem and new in uer delineations or parts, now ever familiar. Her career has been as honor ably industrious as it has been uniformly suc cessful, itlchly endowed, she has not the less pereverlngly studisd to attain the perfection of detail indispensable to true art; and the defects obi-crvable when she first appeared among us have with laborious and resolute striving been conquered one by one. Her voice has grown richer and more flexible through constant use a proof that its use has been legitimate; her vocalization Is as fluent and correct as it is bril liant and expressive. As an actress, both in the comic and serious range of characters, she has reached that acme of perfection which makes acting seem no acting at all, but rather truth Idealized. Nothlug cau be more natural, grace ful, and spontaneous than her comedy, nothing more deeply felt and touching than her tragedy. In short, she now presents to us the very beau ideal of a lyric arnst. ' Mad'lle Pattl was born at Madrid, April 9, 1843, and is therefore in her twenty-sixtn year, lier parents, both Italian, and both exercising the same profession as herself, lelt Europe when she was scarcely a year old. and her first sac-cfBf-es were obtained in America, North and South, where she was already famous befora she came to Engbind. It has been justly said that while Europe has sent mauy famous drumatic singers to America, iu seuriinc? us Adelina Pattl the New World has amply paid oil its debt to the OW. shou'd we lae her now we shall lose that which the Italian lyric can ill spare." RUSSIA. famine, Typhus ad Pauperism llrnndy tlia Uauit-Appalling Statistics Short-Sighted. Policy of IU (lovtra inant. A correspondent of the Now York Tribune writes from St. Petersburg, July 20, as lol" lows: "The abolishment of serfdom has given Rus sia the possibility to become a European power, but, nevertheless, it is the priucipal cause of the great calamity which has befallen the Eoiptre during the last winter, and from which we shall have to sutler many a year more. Famine and typhus have wielded their scptro in a most ft'uriul manner all over the country for ail theie months, paupcriMii, famine, una lypuun la tiie ore dark picture our depalrin g eyes look upou tor years and jears to come. A bad crop was generally supposed to be, tbe principal reason of the almost incredible distress which manifested itself everywhere among the rural popula tion as soon as tne naru winter set in. At the fcame time the Minister of tho Interior was severely blamed by public opinion for not having foreseen the calamity, so that he could have met the most urgent necessities; and at last it almost seeuiwd as it his negligence and care lessness alone bad to account for all the deaths that were recorded bybuudreds from the most atllicted provinces. Indiguant at these unjust accusations the minister resigned his office, and the Cabinet lost one of its ublest and its most honorable members. It was a loss much to be regretted, but yet, in one respect, the country derived a very valuable, though most painful benefit from it. To justify the course ho had taken the Minister published a long and elaborate official report, from which it be came apparent beyond any doubt that tho root of the evil lay much deeper, than any body bad supposed, and thit It was a per nicious folly to charge the last crop or the re missness ot any individual with it. With the only exception of Finland and the province of Arcbangelsk tbo crop has been quite as good as iu anv average year, and partly even better. The export lists of the Southern ports showed larger ngures tnan in auy iormer year. Ana even at the time there was plenty of every sort of corn, but those who were most in need of it had not one lartbing left to provide for one clay's provision. Many people, no doubt, had to complain of an extremely scauty crop; but It was not tne lauit ot nature, rue estates ot tne manor owners bad yielded a more than sutfl cienv harvest, while the surrounding fields ot the freedmen looked almost like tallow ground. Whose was the fault? Since there was no Sossibillty to compel the freedmen to work, they id not woi k any more. From the day ot he abolishment ot terfdom they did not till their fields at all, or they did it so carelessly and in sufficiently that a tolerable crop would have been a real miracle. "Their time was devoted to a pleaaanter business than ploughing and hariowiiig; brandy bad been their idol ever so long, but now they did not stir from his altars. To this filthy god they sacrificed all they had; the bar keepers i re the only baukers ot the peasantry, they receive good mouey, and give in exenange Dad brandy; out uow-a-days money is a greater rarity with peasants than even temperance; tho barkeepers, therefore, have recently become pawnbrokers, and whole villages have tent their last piece of furniture, thfrir last shirt to the tavern " That looks like a ridiculous exuggeiutlon, aud yet it is nothing but the plainest truth. We will give a few figures, taken from official sources, to illus trate this appalling picture, because figures, at all events, do not lie nor exaggerate, and be cause they speak for themselves, and we need not comment upon them with a single word. In tho "great Russian" Provinces tho excise yielded iu 1749 a clear income of 1,786 055 loubles; In 1849, 3H,682,'J41 roubles, and In 1859, 74,171,015 roubles; that is to eav. In ten years it ha. been almost doubled. In Prussia tho clear f to tit of the excise amounts to C per cent, of the otal revenue ot theState;iu France to 9 percent.; In Austria to 10 per cent.; in England and in Sweden and Norway to 21 percent.; and in Russia to 38 per cent. That was the proporttou In 1859; now most likely it is dilTcrcut; for it in 1859 the clear income yielded by tbe excise amounted to 74,171,015 roubles, it was 115,600,000 roubles in 18G6; and for 1H68 it is estimated to be 119,!i0,. 670 roubles; so it has more than tripled within tbe last 20 years. "So it is not an accidental calamity, origina ting from yesterday, that has befallen the em pire. From the day of emancipation tho condi tion of the peasants grew worse and worse from year to year. The more and the longer they in dulged in their intemperate propensity for in toxicating drinks, the harder they found it to make their minds up to resume work. The stock of the magazines of the communities was large enough to make up for their shortcomings during the first years. Everybody borrowed most freely from them, until they too were as empty as any private barn, and rats aud mice began to emlgrn'e, without kuowtng where to go to; then well, then began the famine, then the hunger typhus begau to show bis ghastly face in every village; then aeonv and despair were put on tie lb J. one; tli't tUo poor Iguoruat wrrtchm fell down on ihcir kneesklssecl the' feet of their Iormer master, or the neitrb boring mill owncis, and cried for work; then eveu here and there tbshlehwnts began to be lined. ltb corpses, and King brandy laughed a he has never laughed before. "It Is true, the itusrlan Is at yet only by ne cessity an sgrlcultur'st, all his Inclinations being jf t thote of a nomad; he Is ilcnly endoet oy nature, but be is at unsteady and shuns working as much a ever an Indian or a ;lazaronl did. Tbls evil is too'iuveterate to root it np In one, nay In ten or twenty years. But so much tbe more is It to be regretted that the Government was too short-eiRhted to effect another .great chance in the condition of tbe rural population simultaneously with the emancipation, which was the only one that could have counter balanced in some measure these pernicious r fleets of the sudden euirancnisemenu uetore the abolishment of serfdom individual or per sonal property was to be found only In a very limited extent among the rural population. Tbe private property of the peasant consisted in his house and garden, the cattle, horses, utensils, and all the other movables; but the whole landmark ot tbe village belonered to the com munity, every member of which had by nature an inalienable right to claim a p-trt of it, cor responding, generally, in size aud value with the number of the family members. Meadow and pasture ground, tbe woods, and pats re mained undivided, and were nsed in common without any sufficiently strict rules as to the lumber of cattle every one should be allowed to raise, the amount of wood he could bew, ete. The arable fields, however, were divided and assigned to tbe patrea' families for a limited nnmber of years. The Tillage was generally situated right in the midst of the land mark. Proceeding from here the whole tillable ground was laid out in long, nar row strips, out of which as many equal shares were formed as were requested at the time. Tbe size of a share did not de pend so much upon the quality of the soil as upon the distance from the centre of the vil lage. Every seven, in other part of the empire every nine years, a new distribution bad to take place to dispose of the lots of those who died or left the villace, and to provide for tbe new families and those who had Bottled in cities at the time of the last distribution, and bad re turned in the meanwhile. To avoid every par tiality and injustice the shares were distributed by lottery, those who bad larger families being allowed to draw two, three, or four lot', finch were the primitive economical institu tions among the Russian peasantry during the time of serldom, and such they have re mained almost everywhere up to this very day, with the only difference that in five-eighths of the empire in ten or twenty years it will be the same with the remaining three-eighths tbe soil has really become the property ol tbe com munity, while it was formerly owned by the master and held in a kind of eternal enforced lease by the community. It is true, In the emancipation ukase, the communities have been allowed to divide their landmarks one and forever, so as to constitute personal hereditary property In real estate; but it was not enough to allow it. The endearing power ot habit, added to the "free and easy" character so enor mously pi availing among the Russians, and their dangerous propeuslty for communism, origiuat Incr ns well in their originality and sociability as in their superficiality and carelessness, made It a certainty that tney would aanere to tne old system, as long as they were not compelled to effect a radical change. It is evident that such a rndical change is absolutely necessary, if the slightest hope shall be entertained that the peasants will ever begin to look further than to tbe morrow. Is It worth while to manure my field carefully, to drain and to fence it, to clear it from stones, etc., etc., if I may bet a hundred to one that 1 shall be compelled to part with it after seven years to exchange It against my neighbor's field, which has been neglected or exhausted to tne very utmost! xne uovcrnment is now fullly aware of tho fault that has been committed; but now It Is extremely difficult to repair it. B it if it is not rep aire d, if no means are found to press interest, this sharpest of all spurs, into tbe tenderest nesa ol the peasantry, a iiPiierul bnnkruptcv seems to be almost inevitable. How will It be next yearf The peasants have had no eed-corn." Sliam Antiquities ew Revelations. The London hevieta says: "Inquiring or tho hall porter at tbo British Museum the other day if forged antiquities were ever offered there, k gave a grim smile: 'Lord bless ye, sir, never a day passes over without our being brought them soit of tackle,' and suiting the action to tbe word, be pulled out a box from nndcr bis desk containing a miscellaneous assort ment of doggers, vases with contused inscriptions upon them, knives and other articles that had evidently not been long cast in lead, subjected to an acid, and smeared with mud. 'Ibe gent as brought tbeso vtry "important ancient rellos" was quite mad because we told blm they was forged went away In a pet, and we never saw biro again.' Iu all probability this credulous individual bad boasted to his friends that these things which he had purchased as they were dug up, as he said, by some navigators in the excavations going on at HbadweH, were very valuable, and finding out his mistake, thought it best to leave them, and cover his retreat by sajing they were now in the Museum. "We understand the art of manufacturing relics bas become In the metropolis a regular occupation. No sooner is some great work de cided upon some dock to be excavated, some ancient building to be demolished than these gentry prepare for the occaslou. Their game bas long ceased to be the genuine collectors, wao are well versed in the matter; these they avoid. The casual passer-by, however, is sure to tall into the snare prepared before with rare art. It is as necessary for these knaves to have tbe ap- fnoprlale scenery for the little play they have d band, as it is for tbe actor. The actual fabricator, however, never appears upon the scene. The ancient relics are beforehand given to tbe navigators, who share in the plunder; and just as the stranger passes by they are carelessly tossed up by the spade. That's a curious thing, master,' the rogue remarks; the other navvies crowd round, and tbe nu'se en tcne is complete. As 'seeing is believing,' there are very few that are able to resist the bait; It Is gorged, in fact, for fear of another puichaser appearing as a com petitor. The nverThames is at tbe sometime tho conservator of many genuine relics of a past age, and the prolific mother ot many bastards. Tbe shore-rakers, as they arer termed, are well versed in the art of getting out of this river nrticlcs that were never legitimately deposited there. In the celebrated trial of Eastwick against the Athenaeum, some years since, two of these worthies Billy and Charley proved bow lucrative tbe game Is in experienced bauds. These eunning lellows, 'put up' in the matter by still more cunning fellows behind, 'discovered' no less than two thousand 'pilgrims' sign' in the mud ot tbe dock then being dug at Shad well, and what was more cunning still, they managed (o sell them to the extent of 400, to one of the largest dealers in curiosities lu London. 1 "In 'Quentln Durward' we all remember the leaden image Louis XI placed in his cap; tbeso images, it was asserted, were of a similar na ture, used by pilgrims when visiting any parti cular shrine. Iu what manner upards of two thousand of them could have lalrly got Into the Thames, in one confined spot near the present swing bridge, puzzled the members of tbe British Arehajological Society, and upon au examination the whole ot them were pro nouueed to be forgeried, apparently cast in chalk moulds, tho graving tools being nails and penknives. BUhops were equipped iu mitres of dltlcreut forms, some of them dating back to the twelfth century. Tno military figures were equally absurd. It was asserted that tuejo relics were of the fourteenth and fifteenth ceo turies, hence they bore upou their own face the proof of their having been forged. How many of these signs have found there way into private collections we know not; some of them were purchased by Mr. Franks for the British Mu seum, but they have never been exhibited. "Our country friends, however, cannot afford to grin at the Cockneys for the facility with which tbey are luipoeed upon. They should re member the exploits lu the same liue of tbe celebrated Flint Jm k. bv whom Vorkshlre and I tbe northern counties have been flooded with ! fraudulent flint instruments.

Ih's clever vagabond bas been coing about the northern countries for the last nve-and- twenty years, not only manufacturing faie Celts, but making British pottery. For this purpose he bas been in the habit of visiting various local mubeums to note the ornamenta tion and the lettering occasionally to be found on sucn article? rorgtng, in fact, in clay, lust as tbe forger of bank notes works with tiie real fa per currency before him. Some of the dealers n antiquities, unknowingly, of course, some times sell these clever vagabonds old coins, who hide, in order to find tbem at an appropriate moment. Mr. Eastwood admitted that he sold coins to navigators and such like. He was not aware what thsy did with them; hut reading as we do, by tbe light of these transactions in sham antiquities, there can be little doubt they are not purchased for anv honest purpose." MEXICO. TrteQusretara ReballtoaPut Dowa-Ei-cobido Expected om the Border. Tbe Rio Grande Courier of July 26, says: The situation remains unchanged In Mexico. Tbern is nothing really Important to chronicle. The completion of the catapaign of the Sierra la said to have resulted in the submission of some of the officers and tbe adherents of the revolu tionary cause to the supreme government.
