NITRIC 41 ir 'ITALIAN - uew opera, Romeo Gielletta, was produced last evening at the Academy of Music, the audience being a large one. considering the severely cold weather and the attractions to the public elsewhere. The principal scenes of Shakespeare's drama are given in the opera, and the music bears marks 'of great care and thought. As Gounod's repu tation was made iu this country by his Faust, most of the audience made comparisons of the new opera with' the older one, forgetting that a etimpos.er of real talent tries to avoid imitations of himself. There arc, indeed, 110 situations in Romeo and Alice that could demand music like that written for the Kermesse, or ,for the Soldiers' chorus, or for Mephistopheles. And yet the best qualities of the music of Faust are to be found, in the music of Romeo and Juliet. Melodies that avoid the common-place forms to an almost painful de gree; harmonies and modulations that are con tinually creating surprises; instrumentation elabo rated to the finest degree, and often producing novel and striking effects, while avoiding the stunning noise that is so often the chief agent for producing an effect—these may be mentioned as prominent traits of M. Gounod's new eompo given. - • T le opera opens. after a brief orchestral intros auction, with a prelude sung by the chorus, and chiefly without accompaniment. This lasts bat a few moments and the curtain falls to rise again on the first act, early in which "Juliet" (Miss Hauck) appears, with her father. There are some charming choral strains that announce her approach, and she sings a pretty air, in waltz time. A more novel and characteristic air is that of "Capulet" (AutOutteci) which follows—a brisk, jovial song, accompanied,. at the close, by a chorus. "Mercutio" (Bellini) has also a capital song in the same act—the ballad of Queen Mob, sung to "Romeo" (Pancani). In the next scene, where "Juliet" appears with the nurse, she sings a brilliant and very beautiful waltz air, and in the next scene, where "Romeo" encounters her, he declares his love and she re turns it, the duet being charming. The finale of the act. where the guests discover "Romeo," is very spirited, but the author avoids all the com mon tricks that are used to make finales effec tive. The balcony . scene opens the second act. "Romeo's" music, both recitative and melody, is full of tenderness and passion. That of "Juliet" is no lessee, and the duo at the close of the act, "Ah non partir," is singularly beautiful. The situation in this act is not unlike, the garden scene in Faust, but the musical treatment of it Is quite different. The fourth act gives the scene in the cell of "Friar Lawrence." The marriage scene is very impressive, and the music for it extremely well written, especially the little quartette at the close of the scene. The page "Stephano' (Mile. Roneoni), has then a quite long and characteristic song, which loses its effect because the singer's voice and manner arc not equal to it. The rest of the act. which includes the deaths of. "Mercutio" and "Tybalt" (Signor Testa), is very spirited, the instrumen tation and the choruses being remarkably rich. "The fourth act, which represents "Juliet's" chamber, opens, after a brief recitative, with a duct exquisitely tender and full of passion. It is highly elaborated, especially in the second pass ago, where the lark and the "jocund day"give warning that it is time to part. The subsequent scene, where "Juliet" hears of her father's deter mination to marry the "County Paris," and re ceives the drug from "Friar Lawrence," is full of fine declamatory and dramatic music. The tomb scene affords some magnificent passages for "Romeo," and Paseani sang them all with great intelligence and tenderness. The finale, between the two lovers, is also extremely impressive. The new opera is so elaborate and its music •at -times so severe and learned,that it cannot be ap preciated at one hearing. While less effective than Faust, no one who knows anything about music can say that it is less well written or less deserving of admiration. The role of "Juliet" is well adapted to Miss Hauck, whose youth and ' beauty fairly represent the poet's ideal. Pancani is not, in appearance, the ideal of "Romeo," but he is a fine actor and very impassioned singer. The other characters are not important, but they ate competently filled, except that of the tinge, which might be omitted with advan tage to the cast. This evening Luerezin Ilaigia will be played, with Mme. Gazzaniga, Mme. Testa, Baragli and 'Antonucci in the principal characters. For to morrow evening Linda is announced, with Miss Hauck in the title ride. _ . ABIUSEPIENTS. Tries TuraTnEs.—At the Arch Lady Don will appear in the burlesque of Kenilworth.

[Front the Tewark Advertiser of Jan. 13 I The funeral of Mr. Bradbury took place at the Presbyterian Church in Montclair, on Saturday; P. M. The church was filled to repletion. Many from New York and from Newark were lu atten dance. The pulpit was occupied by Rey. Dr. Hastings, of New York, the son of the celebrated and venerable singer, Dr. Thomas Hastings; Roy. Dr. A. H. Clapp, Secretary of the Home Mission ary Society; Rev. Dr. E. J. Newlin, of Hazelton, Pa.-, and Iley. Messrs. Knox and Smith, of Bloom field. Among the audience was the blind poetess, Miss Fanny Crosby, who Las written so many verses for Mr. B. She was led up to take a fare well grasp of the cold hand of her friend. The galleries were filled with children, who sung at the opening Mr. B.'s beautiful tune to Miss Crosby's words : We are going, we are going, To a home beyond the skies; Where the fields are robed iu beauty, And the sunlight never dies. In front of the pulpit stood it square casket of elaborate design and most costly pattern. The lid was confined by means of, and when opened at...cured to its position by beautiful cords and tassels.

An elegant star of japonica was also contributed by a friend and neighbor,_ The body was laid out Iu a full suit of black, and death seemed to have produced little change. The funeral was conducted by Mr. Hull fish, undertaker. of Newark. After the reading of appropriate selections of Scripture, Dr. Clapp was introduced as his early friend, and made an address, in which he exhi bitedrauch affection for the deceased. Rey. Mr. Smith, of Bloomfield, after stating some inci dents of his 'dying experience, read the hymn which Mr. B. had requested to be sung at his mother's funeral, and which the choir had often I sung on such occasions with the author. vale production. of this tune first established Hr.

His Arrival in Richmond—Enthusi astic Reception by the Colored Alen— An 1111111 C 111S0 Crowd to *fear Min Speak. [From the New York Timex.] Ricumaso, Va., Monday, Jan. 13.—General Butler arrived here at 1.30 to-day, and was met at the depot by au innumerable multitude of negroes and a delegation of white members of the Convention. The negroes mounted guard, with drawn sabres, music and banners, and acted as hie escort-to the Ballard Hotel. The streets were thronged with people to see him as, he passed, in an open carriage, accompanied by Mr Wardwell and a colored man named Brooks. His reception was cer tainly a grand ovation on the part of. the blacks, and it wail evident that he - is - first in their hearts. At the Ballard he was waited upon by General Schofield and staff and a large number of prominent Union men, while the curiosity of , the Southern people to sec him was intense. It was known that he was to speak at the African. Church in the evening; the crowd commenced collecting at :1 o'clock, and by 6 the church was densely packed, and all the approaches to it blocked up. SUch a multitude of negroes was never before seen gathered there. lt was with • the-.utmost difficulty that General Butler could , find an entrance through the solid mass when he arrived. An organization was finally effected. Mr. Wardell took the chair. (;en. Butler was introduced amid a succession of the wildest cheers—banners waving, music play ing„, handkerchiefs flaunting. Gen. Butler spoke an hour and a half. Ile commenced at the Revo lutionary. War, which was fought to establish the independence of the nation and the inalienable tights of man, and spoke of the Constitution as a perpetual compact entered into by our fathers to secnre liberty to their posterity, but they had not foreseen the evils that must flow from one blighting cause.--the institution of slavery— which they left intact in tithe belief that it would • die out. It existed thus in almost every State in the Union. They enacted that the slave-trade should cease after a short time, and they- believed it would cease; but slavery became profitable, and it In creased. lie then gave a full history of the war in Congress between the Slave Power and the Free Scalers, concluding it with the election of Mr. Lincoln and the war made upon the Union for the perpetuation ofthe institittien. Up to that time many in the North believed they were bound to sustain slavery, but when war came every man was • released from those obligations. At the -beginning of the war slaves , were retained, but at length statesmen ameed that slavery should be eradicated. Here fellowed a relation of the facts connected with gradual abolition, in which he busily took'an active part. It was not accomplished till one hundred thousand black men had fought and bled. and it was the fault of those who went into rebellion that the slaves were made free. He went on to draw a parallel between what the white people say of the negroes now and what was said fifty years ago by the English of the American nation. It wits taunted with having no statesmen or soldiers, and with being of account • but we have found their assertions' false. ,This is what the Southern people now ssy o[The '.Ganes, who will in thirty years hence prove the fallacy of their ideas. The South had never been prosperous and never would be until the rich proprietors should divide and sell their lands, and that the negroes would ultimately become the possessors of tracts and homesteads, and be a prosperous, industrious and enlightened people. One thing still remained from the upheavingot the French Revo lution—the division of the lands. He advised the landholders to sell, and those who had none, to tiny, for thereby they would become a portion of the great conservative as well as the radical insti tutions of the country. In 1850 the Southern people held that great statesman of Massachu setts, Pattie! Webster, by his constitutional shackle's, and forced the Northern people to swal low their prejudices against slavery. He now re turned to Virginia, after this lapse of years, to teach the Southern people new ideas, to divide their estates and place the negro upon an equality with themselves. They would have to come down to this. He had been told that the negroes wanted to be the dominant power, but he saw CO evidence of it; all they seemed to desire was their rights. Speaking ofa war of races; he said if anything of the kind was ever contemplated it would have been done during the recent war, and »ot,at this late period when the negro was de sirons of being placed in harmony with his late master. At the surrender of Lee the rebels were Willing to accept any --terms i - -and • even to grant the right of suffrage: but the success , of the elections -in the . North,- and the unwise action of the President, had de luded the Southern people and caused them to be lieve that there was something better in store for them than the Radicals would give; but the Gov el-molt must goon as It is till March, 1869, and by that time.the matter would be settled some way. A Democratic President can do no more than Johnson can do , now; for the Senate will remain the same for the next six years. The right of suffrage was accorded the negroes as a es fegnard and not from motives of revenge, and as soon as the whites were. willing to come for- Mard and take part in the Government with joyal and true hearts, he was willing to repeal all test oaths and penalties and receive them, bat he would not let go the reins as long as the horse balks. He paid a high tribute to the colored people present, some of whom ho recognized as Wing seen in battle; and as they had shown them selves good soldiers, he trusted they would be able to prove themselves good American citizens. "With malice toward none and charity to all," they should march steadily forward to that high destiny which God in His providence has marked ! out for American citizens and American freemen. Gen.
