Nendelssohnle “Elijah.” In our brief notice of this grand Oratorio, in our last issue; we were unable to express. as we desired; our full appreciation Of what we regard as one of the most elevating representations ever given in this city of the Choral branch of musical art. It was, per haps, the most advanced of the performances of the Handel and Haydn Society,and though we may regret the absence of professional artists for some of the prominent parts; yet, by being thrown occasionally upon our own ;.—resources, we shall perhaps be compensated mutually by their greater development. It is gratifying that the Academy of Music was used for the second performance, as the taste for Cho/al music will thus be . more widely cultivated; for many of our citizens are unfortunately attracted by the surroundings of any art exhibition, and not the thing it self; were it not so, larger accommodation would always be required at Oratorio per lOrmances, and not only when they happen to be fashionable, as is at present the case with "Elijah." It may, howevei, be _reasonably antici • pated that the time is near at hand when these master-pieces will be considered an "institution" here, and may we also hope that those who have wealth or other influ ence among us, may bestir themselves with regard to the erection of a suitable Hall con- taining a good organ, in order that they may be given in a more complete manner, and room provided for thousands instead of .4 41 hundreds. • Philadelphia people have the reputation, we believe, of being a church-going com munity. At any rate,our staid life here,com pared with other cities, is favorable to the cultivation of "the most timid of all arts.'" But though Oratorios spring, as it were, from religions feeling inspired kly the Scrip tures, our want of attention to this elevating branch of art would prove a sorry index to the intensity of the devotion thus attributed, whether it be much or little. Were this a favorable opportunity, we _, should be tempted to speak with regard to composers,as to when we shall have another whose, works will be worthy to be placed with that noble list commenced by Bach and Handel, and continued until Mendels sohn's short career; but this would, in any case, be impertinent in America, when we consider how feebly made at present is the impress -of those Oratorios we now have, the number of performances in some coun tries of the Old World, in the course of a year, being overwhelming when compared with ours. But to continue our notice. The assistance cif Dr. Gnilmette, of Boston, is a subject of congratulation, especially as he came at short notice, his conception being purely artistic. An: equal share of praise would have been due to Mr. Simpson also, from New York, were he to forego the embellish ment of continually slurring from his notes (speaking in plain phraseology), which,how ever charming in less serious music, is not sufficiently dignified, in our opinion, for that of Mendelssohn, and is the more striking in Mr. Simpson's case, because of • the soft character of his voice. If artists would remember how music of this ele vating nature should be sung, they could thus demonstrate that they possess the con -•`: 4S : ception of dramatic power. 1;. Miss McCaffrey's part was, in an artis tic sense, powerfully given, its impressive- Aide resulting in a well-merited encore of ' 94 'o Rest in the Lord," though we would not be understood to recognize the license taken with the text at the final cadence of that _aria, not a necessity here, as in other places, from limited compass. Much praise is also due to Miss Alexan der for the accomplished manner in which . her difficult part was performed. But to Mr. Bentz, the conductor, the au dience were the most indebted for the pre_ ision and general ability of the chorus, and hie happy tempo in those movements written with massive effects, which resulted in more . grandeur than greater numbers have ob . e.tained when breadth of effect is lost by a '; , ,Vbmparatively fast pace. t.,diqn mentioning the weakness of the alto the want of more roundness 'in the -,,bass, and the occasionally defective. intone . Alen of the tenors we do so not to anticipate the conductor, but regretting that so many persons in the city, belonging to the ankh choirs and elsewkere, are not con nected with the Handel and Haydn Society, = whose assistance would improve the per forinances a hundred fold, besides being a great advantage to themselves. The reason . of. the absence of many, whose voices are above the average is, we fear, that they esti mate their value too highly by having an - objection to take any but prominent parts, :and we have found that these, more than era, ,require that practice and education obe obtained by the drilling necessitated • by fhe - performance of these works; but as society advances this difficulty will be re moved. AKCISEEtENTS. " x WArakruT.—The latest novelty at the t N elyslnut; and the most striking new piece • "Abe, Clarke has recently brought out is "The 'Member from Pike." The scene is. at Washington and the time the present. A Mr. Bradley (Mr. Griffith) comes to Wash ington to urge a claim against the govern ' ment, for property lost in the Florida war. hen• follows an interview between Jessie, pa daughter of Mr. Bradley (Mrs. Walcott) and Hugh. Lowlier (Mr. Walcott), a mem ber of the House, who; though a married :Man, offers to secure the passage of the claim bill for the reward of Jessie's love. • &Though repelled, he tontingea his advances, „and does not pause even for the entrance of MrB. Oliver (Mrs. Chester,) Wife of a Senator. ti ller escort, Sir Alfred De Guise (Mr. Faw ,,Cett), threatens to throw Lowlier out of the , window, when he leaves by the door. Lowber, in revenge, defeats the claim, and, meeting old Bradley at night in Pennsyl vanht, avenue, they have a struggle, in which Bradley is nearly killed. He is fotuad by Deirtosthenes Torrent (Mr. Clarke), the Member from Pike, and by Jessie. Torrent secures a handkerchief which Lowber has dropped. The villainy of Lowber is con tinued by his slanders of Mrs. Oliver. Tor rent visits Lowber, and compels him tosign a paper confessing himself the author of these slanders, and also forces him to pro mise to make no further' opposition to the claim. In the third act Senator Oliver and his wife are reconciled by the interference of Jessie and Torrent. Charles Gower (Mr. Chester), now proposes and is accepted by Jessie. Torrent also makes an offer of his heart and hand, and is greatly disappointed by his rejection. It makes no difference, however, in his friendship. The play closes with a ball at the house of Senator Oliver, where all the characters are assembled. Lowber's handkerchief is produced as the proof of the crime which he denies, when old Bradley starts np and denounces his MOuld-he-murderer. At the moment when . Bradley is about to retire, , declaring that he will leave -Washington' with his wife and sister . , Torrent 'rushed in, exclaiming that the bill is passed, and inthe midst of general', congrattllations, the curtain falls. Mr. Clarke's genius makes the play teem with life and interest, and he is , ably supported by the entire company. The inevitable touch of pathos which Clarke alwayaknows how to throw into his comic parts makes the rough western character of Torrent ab solutely perfect. The play will be repeated 'during this week, with other attractions. THE CHESTNllT.—Thatnnsurpassed spec tacular drama "The Ice Witch" increases in popularity nightly. 1 No play of this character ever presented here has been given with more beauty and smoothness, and none has been more popular within'our recollection. It will be given during the week, and at the matinee on Saturday after noon. At the matinee on Wednesday after noon "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" will be given. THE AROH.—"Sam" is still crowding the Arch, and Chanfran, Parsloe, De Walden and Miss Logan are reaping fresh laurels. ' AT THE AMERICAN the drama once more resumes its reign, beginning this evening. THE OLD FOLKS open this evening at National Hall, as will be seen by the adver tisement. SIGNOR. BLITZ gives !nightly entertain ments and matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at Assembly ; Bnildink.

Mr. James Lees carried on the business of manufacturing carpet yarn from shoddy, and all of his machinery, stock, materials, itc., were consumed. His loss is $lO,OOO, upon which he has an insur ance of $3,500 in the Royal Insurance Com pany. The building and fixed machinery were owned by Mr. John Towers, whost+loss is $5,000, upon which he has an insurance of $1,500 in the Royal Insurance Company.

A portion of the walls of the main building tumbled down, causing the entire structure to be a perfect wreck.

VISIT TO JBP.F. DAVIS! bTARTLING D/SCLOSITILBS! [From our own Special]. Poing by Fortress Monroe yesterday, I took of to drop In for a call upon the ex-President of the late lamented Confederate States, Kr. Davis is looking quite old. Many ascribe this to his treatment here; but - I think it probably arises from the fact that he was born in 1808. When I entered hrtroent, he was sitting upon a chair which stood upon the floor. lie had one hand On his knee. This position, however, is not compul sory, and he varies it at will. I said, "How do you do, sir?" He said, "Pretty well, Gus, how are you?" I do not know why he called me that; Augustus is not my name. I then said, "Sir; there are many conflicting rumors concerning your treatment in this place. Have you anything to eomplain of?" He said Young man, I shouldthlnk I had." Said I, "Of what?" Said he, "Of being looked - up." "How do they feed you?" asked, "On victuals 'mostly," he answered. "Do the bugs trouble you?" I asked. "Yes, when they bite me," said he. I observed there was no Persian carpet on the floor, neither did I notice a rocking chair. Taking my leave of him, I said, "Can I do anything for you?" Yes," said he Bend me the 'Book of Cuttings I see advertised by Charles Stokes & CO., the Clothiers, under the Continental, Hotel, Philadelphia." With this request my interview closed.

A number of robberies are committed in this way which seldom come to light, and which require the utmost watchfulness of the Company. SANITAIIT MEASURES.—It il3 a matter of gratification to the citizens of Camden to learn that the Street Committees of the seve ral Wards are perfecting many necessary measures to keep the streets clean and fled, in consequence of an apprehended ap proach of the cholera.

This ever popular opera will receive one representa tion during this season only. Hicamer and Hermans will appear in their original rGiet. Tee appearance of these artists as Faust and Mephistopheles at the close of the enormously successful season of Grand Italian and Great German Opera in Boston, was the signal for round after round of vigort. us cheers. The Boston Post say s : "We cheerfhily ascribe to this the position of the most satisfactiory performance of the Whale season." Palpable improvement is discernible in Herman, who makes the Mephistopheles more than ever his own. Indeed several of the best critics in Boston. Washington and Baltimore, claim a decided improvement In the quality of Herman' magnificent voice. The opera is presented with new and magnifi cent costumes and properties. TO-MORROW (TUESDAY)..7eb.
