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. "The
Sphynx" is still the great attraction.
THE SHABSPEREAN CARNIVAL takes

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.

ROBBERY.-A few nights since a box con
taining a large number of revolvers, belong
ing to the Government, was broken open
and seventeen of them stolen. The Super
intendent (Mr. Vancleve) of the Camden and
Amboy road, in charge of the night gang,
immediately discharged the entire gang,
until the thing is detected. 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. The Council have
been wise in arriving at this determination,
whether the cholera-reaches here or not, for
it will be a great advantage to the sanitary
condition of Camden at all times.
FATAL RESITIT.—Peter Stueble, the Ger
man who was found terribly cut in the face
and head, on Friday morning, back of
English's Hotel, 'died at the Hospital on
Saturday from the effects of his wounds.
The body was brought to Camden by Coro
ner Roberts, who will hold an inanest on it

currency that he attempted to coy amit sui
cide.
BURNED TO DEATH.-A terrible and heart
rending calamity occurred at Jacksonville,
Monmouth county, one day last week, by
which four children were burned to death.
The house of a Gel-man had accidentally
taken fire, and the inmates had all been
safely removed, when four of the children
rushed back into the house, and perished in
the flames.
FOUND DROWNED.—On Sunday morning
an aged lady, named Weldon, residing with
her daughter, at 3ordentown, was accident
ally drowned in a hogshead of water, where
she was soon afterwards found, and although
every effort was made to resuscitate her, life
was extinct. She had resided in Camden for
many years.

GRAND FANTASIE WITH BIRGFELDB FULL

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.

The first production here by this Company of this
wrnderfully popular opera. The able critic of the
Washington Ohroniete pronounced the recent produc
tion of "Era Diavolo" the most genuine success of the
season, and the most enjoyable operatic performance
ever given in that city. It is not presumption to say
that no other Art erican Cast equals that of the German
Opera Company in vivacity and esprit de Fopexa.
Habelman and Madame Hotter are esteemed as In
their most effective saes: Herman.% slightly trespass
ing on that good nature which the public everywhere
accords him in order to please Milos. the Englishman,
with something National, Lut , oduces, as one of the
Robbers, Flussell's popular ballad—"l'm afloat.
