THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1870. 5 v nUBlCJJb AND DRAMATIC. "Rip Taa Wlnkl1' br the Ball.h Opera Trtine, The opera of Hip Van Winkle, by Mr. George F. Brlstow, of New York, which was performed for the first time la thU city last evening at the Academy of Music, was probably an entire novelty to the great majority, It not to all, of the audience preacnt. It was origi nally brought ont about fifteen years ago, In New Tork, by the Pyne-Harrlson troupe, but failed to make a decided hit, and since that time it bus been neglected and nearly forgot ten. There are good reasons for the non uccess of the work, although it pos sesses many merits; and while It may be worth while for a competent troupe to perform it occasionally, it will never be as popular as many other works of perhaps no more intrinsic excellence. The libretto in the first and third acts follows Irrlng's story with reasonable closeness, but In the second act soms entirely new matter is introduced, and we are treated to an episode of the Revolutionary War which brings upon the stage "Rip's" grown mp son and daughter, and in addition to the love adventures of the latter gives a little sharp fighting between the Continentals and the red coats, and other matters of exciting Interest. It may be corsplalned that all this Is not in the plrit of the original story, but opera librettos are entitled to charitable judgment, and this version of Hip Van Winkle is quite good entugh for operatic purposes. Whatever its defect! may be, it is certainly not a greater per version of Irvlng's charming legend than the tasteless drama by Boucicault in which Mr. Jef lcrson has delighted thousands. More important than the libretto is the music, which is creditable to the taste and culture of the composer, without being distinguished by any very marked characteristics that will enable i t to take a hold upon the public fancy. Most of the airs are pleasing, and some of them posi tively beautiful, and yet none are sufficiently original to leave .any decided Impression. As a musical composition Hip Van Winkle does not fall far below the average of sutfh a work as The Bohemian Girl, for instance. The Bohe mian Girl, however, is full of attractive melo dies that catch the ear at once, and that cannot fall to be remembered. There Is little or nothing of this in Hip Van Winkle, and it is conse quently easy to understand why its placid flow of agreeably mediocre melodies can scarcely make any deep Impression upon the average opera-going public. The performance last evening was creditable, the various characters belug sustained in a rea sonably satisfactory manner. Mr. Drayton, who personated "Rip Van Winkle," sang in a manner worthy of hearty praise. lie committed the error, however, of modelling his "Rip" upon that of Mr. Jefferson, and as a piece of acting it can only be characterized as an imitation, and an exceedingly bad one. Mr. Drayton Is a tho roughly good artist, and he could do much better by depending entirely upou his own resources and by making his "Rip Van Winkle" an original creation. Mrs. Bernard represented "Alice," the grown-up daughter of "Rip," in excellent style, and Mr. Castle gave a good personation of "Edward Gardiner," the lover of "Alice. The other parts was fairly sustained, if we except "Dame Van Winkle," for the proper representation of whom Mrs. Drayton's powers were Inadequate. The choruses were well rendered, and the orchestration was all that could be desired. The CltT Amn.einenta. At thb Academt of Music Mozart's opera of The Marriage of Figaro will be performed this evening, with Messrs. uampbell, Laurence, Bowler, 8eguln, Howell, Mrs. Bernard, Miss Hersee, Mrs. Seguin, Mrs. Boudlnot, and Miss Isaacson in the cast.

They said the reason why they had not heretofore made a statement of the facts in the case was that the gentleman most capable of giving It, the book-keeper, was oblisred to 0 to Europe for the benefit of his health, and on bis return commenced the work, but was again taken sick and they asked that the matter bo postponed until his recovery. The Actlnp Commissioner thought that time was too indefinite, but the Collector of Internal Revenne at Albany would be instructed to sus pend the collection of the lax till the Grat of January unless otherwise ordered, by which time the delegation promised to have tho facts either through the book-keeper or some other pereon. The ques tion was asked whether tho Bureau would not decldo oa tho law in al vance, so that the Assessor would be thus guided In the matter, but the Commissioner replied tho Bureau preferred to hear the facts before giving a decision. The Interview was mainly for tho purpose of procuring an cxteuion of time. About the first of January the delegation may have another Interview. FROM JVW EXGL.1jYD. Fire In It .at on.
