MUSICAL. CARL IiVOLPROHN't3 THIRD BEETHOVEN MATE- Ina will take place on Friday afternoon, when ho will be assisted by Mrs. Behrens. The sonatas to be performed are C inajor,.opus 2, No. 3; C mi nor, opus 10, No. 1; E flit, opns 31, NJ. 3. it will be observed that the above selections r.l ex tracted each from an opus which comprehend; three sonatas. That is, the opera 2, 10 and 31 are composed of three distinct numbers. These arc the only illatalletB among the piano solos of Beethoven ahem we find three sonatas under the same cipher, thus forming a single groat work. There are seven other examples in the works of Beethoven, viz,: trios for piano. opus 1; sonaho for pikno and violin, opus 12; also imps 30; trios for violin, opus 9; quartette, opus 50; the first six quartettes. opus 18, which , ginally appeared in two books. These LIAO& numbering ten in all would suffice tO stamp Beethoven as an author without example' 'in the history of music. 111417311111Cil as these ten grand conceptions stp .rated give thirty compo sitions, which are capital, new and important in all respects. It i probable that the idea of reuniting ten times HMO COMIDAIIOIIB in one opus exercised some Influence on their produc tion even. It is perhap s from this cause, that i there is observAl n these trilogies, one number, and always a single one, 'which, considered as to the whole, is weaker than the other two; for in stance, the trio for piano in Sol, owns I; Sonata for piano in Do, opus 2; in Fa, opus 10, and so forth. Beethoven confined his adoption of the unity of the trilogy to chamber music;, ha never gave three Symphonies at once, as Haydn and 114orart have done. , The third Sonata of opus 2. scarcely lettelies the elevation of its two - preceding colleaguee in its allegro, which is a kind of brilliant toccata, seemingly Made up`by a fusion of the etyles Of Haydn,and Mozart, scarcely sustaining it proten- Vous and 'pompons opening, but revealing macs,. sionallY Some happy then .4h ts, especiallY one that carrieNthehearer to the ever freehand faecinating Danggeov4ani. The'adagio in E major Is a noble rkovement, and:raised the clavecin of its day to thOeleglac expreSsiOn. One's, attention' is rivetted it, as whepStanding before the Vends of Milo in the. Louvre, to see which is to enjoy a dream of beatity, for life. This admirable meominent borttiWs the, pomps of ' the ecclesiastical style and renders than accessible to the piano. Its Orchestral character suggested - tn . the cheva lier Seigfried to attempt an arranzeinent of it. This adagio is ona ot, the most beautiful in the sonatas Of the first style; it may be heard to,ad vantage independently of the retnainder of the sonata. The scherzo ie. made waggishly.humor ous by a dash of melancholy in the trio. The allegro ossui in six-eight time is a kind of rondo, if la chasse, without knowing or caring to know the object or the occasion of the part; , the "hark follow!" and the ten la la are naturally , suggested by the horn form of mods() which it starts.olf with and repeats frequently. This opus was pro nounced by Ferdinand lies to be the work of a giant. The .S'onota Eroica in C minor, opus 10, No. 1, is calculated to arrest the attention of the hearer by its bold dashing allegro con spirit°, which, like a torrent from the lofty Alps, bounds over rocks and runs through smiling landscapes; it is a synphonique sketch, and so far beyond the early efforts of the composer in hie first style, that you catetuyour breath with admiration and astonish ment at the daring flight of genius herein, dis played. The A dagio is in La flat, two-four time ; its simplicity and pomp; its flowing melody and graceful accompaniment, its sacred character and pure expression would admirably fit it for inter potation On the organ by a performer of skill and ::efined taste; it lane the rare,thuieh which marks the Verse of Racine': it is- polished as steel. Great care In fingering is required in some pas sage's of delicate embroidery written in fuse, so that the phrasing may properly interpret the meaning which becomes evident by close exami nation' and carinet study in 'searching for the in tentions of the great Maestro. The final of this Sonata is a prestissinto in common time of ex treme warmth; it is a symphonious cartoon and Its motivos flash' in zigzags like torked lightning amid the clouds on a dark and stormy night. This" bold, incisive movement, short, and of ex items vigor, may be performed separately from the rest of the Sonata; it is one of those pieces that every pianist should know by heart in mak ing a choice ha Beal:Leven, of what is more characteristic and at the same time more easy of retention in the meaning. The first allegro of the Sonata of opus St in E fiat it, a curious example of- the maestro in hie rhythmic handling.- The Scherzo in A flat .Allegre(to Vivace, (not considered 'an admissible term among strict constructionists of the old school) is impetuous, bold, new and regardless of the limits of the (main regime which it defies; nevertheless it is a piece for the piano par ex cellence, does not transcend its just, limits, and 4(a rare thing in Beethoven) makes no appeal to the .orchestra. The Scherzo of this Sonata is the ,trst ' example of a Scherzo in two-four time. Such a composition educates the public and raises it to the level of artist feeling. The ruinuotto is rather an interim of andante; it Is a sweet, calm creation and reminds the hearer of a like delicious 'Mullett° performing the function of an andante In the Sonata In sol for piano and violin; it might readily pass as an arrangement for piano of a fragment of Sym phony in the melodious style of Mozart. Tho Finale—presto con fuoco, is a kind of Mazeppa, butt a gaiMazoppa, a Mazeppa that makes, the saw-dust fly in the circus-ring. Away! away! My breath was gone. 1 . saw not where we hurried, on: 'Twas scarcely yet the break of day, Arid on he foamed—away! away! Although with an appearance of innocence, there aro many difficulties concealed In this movement, and the executaut will do well to have it at his finger-ends so as to play it as if im provising; but even then be must be on hisguard that he do not trip up and lose his footing. There is nothing or the symphony about it, and the style of the piano forte is evident. - This sonata, a long time despised and neglected, is now re garded as one of the most marked character. , GOUNOD"s "ROMEO AND Jut4ET2 2- -The follow ing notice of Gounod's new opera was written by 'a young gentlemen amateur, of this city, after 'hearing it performed in Parts: When o composer selects for the plot of an operatic effort some tale or legend occupying well-known place in the literary world, and familiar to most classes of persons, he labors un der many difficulties, which, if his story were new, would not exist. The conceptions that dif ferent people have -of the same plot must be widely . separated.. A story known from school days, having connected with it all the pleasures and hopes of childhood, must bring with its thought very different feelings, from those of one who hears It later, and perhaps under less happy, circumstances. To adapt his music to the theme, in such a way as to correspond as nearly as pos sible with the various ideas of critics, is the great task of the composer. In doing this he must not sacrifice the general points of interest in the plot to strict aud tiresome correctness of detail; neither must he strive too much after effects in those general points. One magnificent finale produces more effect than several of the same kind, and :tu tees the style of each individual one be changed, famillarity with a certain sort of grandeur renders the legitimate effect consequent upon its performance almost entirely lost. And It' some writer of ability , has previously used the tale in the creatiomof an opera, then moro'than ever is the work of the composer rendered PC4I"O. The 'barriers he bus to surmount in th e f ormer i n , stance are natural, Whereas. in the latter, preju dice and comparison arc added to criticism, anti the composer stands but little chalice of success When Charles Gomm(' proclue , d his Immortal Pima, those who liathttot beard the work were inclined to think that a Frenchman who was RAM:lei/fly presumptuous to clothe the words of Ciithe in music, particularly after the effort of blJOilr, WllB a man of no 'little bravery, and that the merit in the end must be lost Aulit of.

Inihating his first. cmay, , the composer has eeleeted for the plot tt story well known to all. Shakespeare's won derful ploy occur les a position so exalted among the works of genius, that to compose an opera with it for its theme must be a task of enor;ii,ous difficulty. 13ellini tried the experlinent, and although the result was line, the c Copulati never produced a re in ark b its excite ul( pt. The play itsdlf, irrespective of its literary position, is one in which there is very little scope tor brilliant and : 'striking; ninateal effects, as in Faust. The Spirit of ' the piece is so lateesely romantic—such a feeling of ex quisite delicacy, perVades it--that the. style of composition must not assume a character in the least.boisterous, except perhaps in the that and third WS, whore Gounod has introduced his choruses. These facts must be taken tutu con sietration before a correct judgment can be formed. ^ The opera has come before the public with too brilliant expectations entertained of it. Hasty opinicns were formed immediately after its produetion in this country, whielt,if the opens were performed with a competent cast, would he quite different from those we now hear. A. care ful study of the score, always bearing in mind the refined subject of '.thee music, is the only way to judge thoroughly of the composition. Thee style of modulation is so remarkable, so perfectly novel, that the most thorough critics have been unable to give au opinion until familiarity with the work has fully demonstrated to them its •high character. Originality is considered in all compositions a great point to be sought after. M. Gounod has certainly succeeded admirably in this. respect. There is nothing hackneyed to be found; every thought is.tts original as if music itself had never existed until the creation of Gounod's Romeo and Juliet." The orchestration St...times is superb, and for pathos, depth and beautyi is, unequaled. The symphony as well as ,the" accompaniment throughout to the duo between "Romeo)" and "Juliet" in the first act, is one of the moot' ex quisite pieces of harmony. The waltz for "Juliet," which 'precedes the due,is a•charming little move ment, and the solo "Capnlet" in the same act, a fine air. Of coarse, the, balcony scene is the most characteristic portion of the Opera. The mos.t weird, romantic recitative, combined with an occasional aria and duo, are here introduced, and produce an effect which is astonishing, and at the saMe'time perfectly legitimate. The com poser in this scene has shown his wonderful depth of feeling and great powers of instrumen tation. SO we could cite an indefinite number of Other gems ivhith the work contains, but details are unneces'saty. Only% frequent heariiig or careful Study can , bring tsuftletently convincing proof of its merit, owing to the unusual ideas which it developes. AMERICAN' CONSERVATORY ' Op Musts,- , -The matinees given by this institution,for the instruc ticin-Mid:cultivation of taste of the students, now take place once a fortnight, instead of every Saturday,, as first arranged, thus extending the series to the end of June. The audiences have been so large and continue to increase so rapidly as to create surprise in the minds of those ac customed to notice the small attendance generally at the public performance of Classical music. The- 'success • of the ConserVatory Matinees is probably owing to the facts that the institution is a . y ery popular one alread.y in our city, and doing a good work,while the niatinetis arc models of elegance and refinement. The second half of the winter term will begin Monday, Feb. 10th, and the books are open for entryof pupils, as announced fu the advertisement.

Tats Ancu.—The Arch Street Theatre was crowded list evening• upon the occasion of the second representation of Daly's drama, Under the Gaslight. The play is produced in excellent The Arch has a reputation for the carefulness and elegance with which handsome scenic effects are produced upon its stage, and it hi fully sus tained in this Instance. The most remarkable scenes were, first, the pier on the North river, with the ferry-boats plying to and fro. The sub ject is common enough upon the stage, but the mechanical effects at the Arch are peculiar, origi nal and remarkable; secondly, the passage across the stage of a railroad train at full speed. This was 'capitally managed, and was really thrilling enough to have excited the oldest play-goer in the theatre. After this, nothing is impossible in the way of stage effect. If Mrs. Drew chooses to try, we believe she could represent Niagara in full tumble, a hurricane and earthquake as large as nature in Bt. Thomas, or a feast of can nibals, with real cannibals "imported expressly for this occasion" in the parts. The performance deserves much praise.' Mrs. Willcot acquitted herself more creditably than 1).37 other member of the company. Ont of a vulgar and slightly offensive character she con tilred to make a most amusing mad pleasant personage. Mrs. Walcot fairly bore away the palm of the evening. Mr. Lewis Baker made as much as poesihle out of a very poor and some times very silly part. He is well known as an actpr of unusual ability, and it is a source of re gret that he has chosen to confine himself for some time to a third-rate character that the finest talent could not make teally acceptable. Mrs. Creese played well, as usual, and sang sweetly. Mr. James was effective—quite as much so as any one could have been. Mr. Craig was in. tensely amusing as the juvenile hawker of small wares, and his song provoked uproarious ap plause from the audience. Mr. Everley and Mrs. Thayer, and indeed, every member of the com pany acquitted themselves in a manner in the highest degree satisfactory to all present. - They din 'more than justice to the drama. The drama! And there's the rub. Under this Gaylight is entirely , sensational. Why it is called by that name it is quite imperial tile to tell, unless, indeed, the author sought soniethintr that would look well upon the bills, rather than indicate any peculiarity in the play. The incidents occur under all kinds of lights,sun, moon, stars. gatt, tallow candles and locomotive , BileCtOTß. Porhapti it was Written under the gas light late in the evening, when the author's Intel teethe] faculties bad been weakened by the pro tracted labors of , the day. From the character of meek of the - text we judge this to be the correct But there have been worse sensational dramas than this, and they have been produced at the Arch. Street Theatre; too. Nobody's Daughter was stolen bodily from a novel, and was not worth the crime. Light at Last was—was---was not 1 startlingly original, although it was some what amusing, and it was not as good as Mr. Daly's `play. Indeed this latter, in spite of wretched gags to tickle the ears of the gallery, gods, sickly and Silly sentimentalism, unnatural :mdi improbable incident, and a smack of the Bowery, the dime'novel and the regular "straw nerry mark on your left arm" business ' in the case of the changing of the children in the ma i:lles, teeny has the merit of originality, together with a number of very effective situations and ailing, dramatic pinnta. But the faults are glaring and unbearable. The pathetic sentiranta of the marvelously . un selfish, sternly honest, and absolutely nicer tuptible."Snorkey" were so obvious* , aimed at the upper tier, that the sitters therein were actu ally abashed, and Vero ashamed to acknowltdge. the Compliment. And so all the bald old stuff about '`protecting Columbia's daughtera" and lighting fur "Dude Sam" elicited very gentle and unsatisfactory applause. People who are put of society generally find the pleat fault with it, Those who are In it, usually say. the least about it either way. Mr. Daly seems either to have forgotten this fact, or never to have teamed it. Ills characters in "so ciety" are - eternal - Jr - vatting about - it and - at — the :into time doing things that would • insure their befog kicked out of respectable kitchens. It may be of use to Mr. Daly in his future ventures fu the social drama to learn. that strictly genteel people, "voices of Society," as he felicitously styles theta, never endeavor to detain departing younggentleman In their parleis by urging their lady guests to hold on to him aids." Nor is it considered ex actly the thing tor ladies to read private letters accidentally thopped In their rooms, and thou proclaim the contents loudly to .the company and none of the "New York Blonde" (nor indeed those of Philadelphia), abom we have met, over make a practice of calling ladles 'glue in their own partorrt. If Mr. Daly attires 'for the Web' THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.---PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1868. ensational perhopft he is right to introduce Bleb hieidents. Either of these would be likely. to produce ati immense sensation in real life in this , community. There: aro many minor absurdities in this &Mint; nut it is hardly worth while to allude to them, One of the incidents, however,' is so original and remarkable that simple justice to the m piece dementia that we shall comment upon it. Shppose that at a wayside station near. Loa; Branch, in the middle of the night, a young girl a heroine, to whom almost everything possible, should walk up and suddenly tackle the station-master, and, with pitepus sobs entreat to be locked up in the freight heluse all night, with kegs of nulls, and boxes:of cheese and bundles of fish. Wobld the most, tender hearted,'ltte' most imbeeile and !diode of station-Masters do it, espeeially when be lived tin a comfOrtable home closb by? We should thinktiOt. And Vet Mr. Duly compels his stationninaster to do it,tad the earnest desire of the heroine for such a consummatiou is apparently the result. ot her prophetic vision, for no ,sooner' bas she comfortably settled herself amid the codfish and cheese, than a horrid villain males in, seizes the utrerer of patriotic gags and •Places him, bound with cords, upon the railroad track. ' Now, if the heroine had not been in that station-house, and had -not had an axe conve niently in there with her, so that elle could smash the ,door; door - and, rushing- out, drag- the patriotic gaggeroffthe track precisely one second before the locomotive dashed past, the said patriot would inevitably have been killed. The idea is original enough, but it is only originally ridiculous. Under the Gaslight will be repeated this and every evening, and we venture to say will draw full henna. The fact is not specially creditable either to the playwright or the public. THETIIKATRES.—At the Arch Under the Gaslight will be given, this evening. Mr. Owens will a , pear at the Chestnut app in E.verybody's Fliend and Solon Shingle. This will be the last' opportunity to see Mr. Owens as "Major De Boots.'. At the Walnutlfr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will appear in Ireland' as it was; Connecticut Courtship and The Irish Tutor. At the American, a Varied bill will be given. PRIC.ADELPHIA OPERA HORSE.—The famous burlesque, Tlai Black Book, will be repeated at this theatre to-nis ht. The Black Book is a first rate burlesque of the Black Crook style of per formance,. It is full of good hits, funny situa tions and amusing incidents. In addition to this there will be singing, dancing, Ethiopian eccen tricities by Frank Moran and other first•rate per formers, and a plentiful sprinkling of wit and hunior. The entertainment at this house is al ways excellent. ELEVENTH STREET OPERA HOUSE,—This even ing a 'very attractive entertainment will be given at Messrs. Carncross Dixey's opera house. The pantomime of The Magic Pearl will be per formed, vvith all the accessories of handsome scenery, costumes, wonderful transformations and ludicrous Situations. A burlesque entitled The ilrrieul of Dickens will be , given, with Lew Simmons as "Charles Dickens,' Mr. Curncross will sing several favorite ballads, and there will be a mlscellanemis perfOrmance by the troupe. , BLlTZ.—Signor Blitz will glse an exhibition of magic and sleight-of hand atConunissioners'ifall, West Philadelphia, this evening. DRIIGGICD AND Ronnno.—Alderman Mink had before him yesterday Ann and Eliza Kellehan, residing at No. 725 Bedford street, charged with robbery. The complainant was Mrs. Roders, an elderly lady,, who alleges that the defendants persuaded her to go - to a house in Alter street. near Twortieth, to see a sick person. Upon reaching the house sthe was drugged, and Eliza robbed her of $lOO. Mrs. Rodgers avers thaeshe did not lose her senses, bht was rendered power less, and although she,: saw ,Elizte taking the money from her, she could not help , herselt. Lieutenant Larzclero arrested the accused and re covered $4.8. The prisoners were committed for trial, SNOW PLOWS.—The plows invented by Mr. R. A. Smith for cleansing the snow from• the passen ger railway tracks are gradually getting into use. There are now in operation two on the Union line, two on Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets road, one on the Second and Third, one on the Green and Coates, one on the Fourth and Eighth and one on the Seventeenth and Nineteenth streets roads. During a storm the number of plows above stated would not be sufficient to keep the tracks entirely clear 'of the snow, but as the merits of the machine are more fully developed, the companies will no doubt add to their present stock. These plows brush tha snow from the tracks in a very effectual manner. CITY BULLETIN, Romu o 1118 EMPLOYERSt-A German named Jacob Herman, the 'driver of a wagon for Lei brandt& McDowelLstove manufacturers,at Girard avenue and Ash streets, was arrested yesterday by Lieutenant Wilcraft, upon the charge of lar ceny.

ArrniarrED ROBBERY.—An attempt was made to rob Goodchild's grocery and provision store, at Broad and Ellsworth streets, a night or two since. Apanel was bored out of the back door and the bolts were then unfastened. The thieves then went up stairs, and in attempting to get' water from a frozenh3 drant made a notse,vvhich aroused some of the Inmates of the house. The burglars became frightened and ran away, with out getting any plunder. A rattle was sprung for sometime without attracting the attention of the police. JUVENILE HOUSE RODNER.—Thos.
