BosioN, May 8, 1868.—The great festival pro
gresses. Miss Alide Topp, of whom I spoke in , my
last letter, has made her debut and gained one of
the most complete triumphs for which an artist
could wish. To say that Miss Topp produced a
furore, would bo a very mild way of expressing
the enthusiasm manifested upon her first ap
pearance In Boston. Well can she take to herself
the old quotation "Veal, Vidi, Vici." Never
have I witnessed more generous, overwhelming
applause than that which greeted the
young, pretty, and interesting artist
atter each movement of the beautiful,
concerto which she,ptayed: one of Schumann, in
A minor, consisting of an allegro followed by a
charming intermezzo, and an allegro seherzando
fully worthy of the master. Miss Topp labored
under great disadvantage upon the start, as the
immense contrast between the heavy orchestral
music which preceded her performance, and that
which even the most powerful touch produces
upon the piano forte, was so painfully apparent
that the most superb passages were almost lost
in nothingness, and the strong accompaniment
in the pianos overshadowed the exquisite
delicacies which came from under her
well trained angers. This,
however, was of bat
momentary duration, and then came the time for
the,enjoyment of a truly astonishing perform
ance. The most accurate, clean execution, com
bined with exquisite feeling and pathos, and also
a prodigious amount of power and apparent
self-reliance, are the distingtiishihg features of .
Miss Topp's playing. She has a memory that is
almost marvelous, the entire concerto, requiring
nearty three quarters of an hour for its recital.
being executed without notes. A comprehensive
knowledge of the correct use and endless re
sources of the grand piano, were clearly shown,
as also a scholarly conception of the
difficult music. At the conclusion of
the concerto a perfect storm of
applause made one disbelieve the , reports of the
coldness of "Hub" audiences, and forced upon
me the gratifying conclusion that was not
alone in my admiration of the blushing young
girl whose personal appearance so ill coincided
with her remarkable ability. As an encore Miss
Topp played a Hungarian rhapsody of Liszt,
without accompaniment, which exhibited more
fully the young lady's technique. This is not the
"Rhapsodic Hongroise" of the same composer
which has been performed in Philadelphia by Mr.
Mills, but another of many of that name. which
is new in America. On Saturday Miss Topp will
again appear, when she will play a concerto of
Liszt, in E fiat major.
The concert oilVt d riesd ay afternoon opened with
Van Weber's overture to Eurawithe,fotiowed by a
song from Handel's Rinaldo,sung by Miss Phillip s. i
Then came the splendid Mozart Symphony n
G minor, (No. 2) which seemed particularly ac
ceptable atter the preparation with which Carl
Sentz's orchestra has favored us during the win
ter. The fall orchestritof 115 instruments took
part in the symphony, which was by far its
finest performance as yet. Miss Topp then fol
lowed, after whom came the orchestra again, in
Beethoven's Overture, No. 3 to "Loanora," which
formed a finale to the concert.
On Thursday afternoon Mendelssohn's over
ture. "At eerestille and gluckltcht Fohrt" (Becalmed
at sea ; a breeze; happy voyage ; coming into
port), also performed during the past season by
Sentz's orchestra, was participated in by the
grand orchestra, and, under the baton of Mr.
Zerrahn, seemed to possess now
beauties. and
appeared more appropriately named than ever
betore. Mme. Parepa's "Ah Perfido", of Beeth
oven gave the crities an opportunity to express
themselves freely, afid great diversity of opinion
existed as to her rendering of this excessively
difficult composition. The general idea, however,
is that Mme. Rosa is hardly fitted to sing such
music, her field lying more among simpler
works of, an oratorio character. Carl Rosa
played Spohr's concerto in G major in his accus
tomed style, and Schnbert's magnificent sym
phony in C major, performed by full orchestra.
was admirably done, and furnished the finale to
the second afternoon concert.
Last evening Mendeissolin's St. Paul was pro•
duced. A fine audience was present and seemed
to manifest more interest than ever in this great
triumph of the immortal Bartholdy. Miss
Houston, Mts. Cary, Mr. Simpson and Mr. Hu
dolphsen were the soloists. Of Miss Houston
too much had been predicted. Her voice is un
musical and harsh ; and her method poor. Mrs.
Cary'e contralto is excellent. Of the choruses
probably "Happy and blest 'are they" was the
most finished. A beautiful accompaniment
renders this particularly attractive. The opening
of the second part was very fine. and also the
finale "Not only unto him.' In fact, the chorus
singing is almost beyond criticism, so perfectly
has the society been drilled. Fine unity and
precision, as well as a proper obsefv,ance of all
that the composer requires,are everywhere appa
rent. To-morrow night is the "Creation" and
on Sunday the closing performance.

Friday's Performances.
Werreapondeneri of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
BOSTON, May 10, 1868.—The interest Is still
unabateclin the extraordinary series of concerts
which Boston is now enjoying. The end how
ever is very near,and to-morrow night will see the
g
rand finale, in the shape of Handel's "Messiah."
The symphony concerts closed this afternoon,
much to the regret of all. It is eminently delight
ful to see the great interest there is manifested in
this city in the cause of art. The most critical,
refined taste, coupled with an unusually correct
judgment in matters • musical, is surprisingly
diffused. A most wholesome, genuine pride, in
what has been accomplished in separating pure
intellectual art from that of 'a sensual character,
and a .general feeling of rejoicing at the success
of the efforts put forth, are everywhere
noticeable.
This has been a week in which local artists,
amateurs and critics have done their utmost to
bring about musical re-unions of a quiet nature,
little impromptu concerts, 6:e. The style Of con
versation among this class has also beeu of the
utmost advantage, many of the most thorough
critic's and best informed connoisseurs having
been frequently brought together in discussion.
A more comprehensive and uniform system of
practical ideas in regard to great choral gather
ings such as this of tke Handel and Haydn So-
ciety, must undoubtedly result from such deliber
ation, and the great and cultivating influence of
high art will probably be more widely exercised
in suture.
The programme for Friday afternoon consisted
of Wagner's Overture to “Tannhiiuser," a 'selec
tion from "Oberon," sung by Mine. Parepa-Rosa,
an unfinished symphony in B minor of Schubert,
and Beethoven's great choral symphony in D
minor (No. 9). The Beethoven symphony was,
of course, the eventot the afternoon. There is
but one opinion as to the manner of its perform
ance, as all unite in saying it was superbly done.
This is so universal that there is no room for even
the moat skeptical to doubt its truth. More, Pa
reps sang well: the "Tannhiluser" was excellent,
and the Schubert very fair. On Saturday after
noon, however, the greatest interest of the season
was shown in the desire to hear the much
t a lked of "Reformation Symphony" of Men
delesohn. This being its first performance
in this country, of course everybody was on the
qui rice, and, although Mr. Zerralm and many
others of lesser note had spoken of the compe
eition as being quite ordinary as compared with
Mendelssolin's later works, still a perfectly just
desire existed among a boat of people to judge
for themselves, and consequently Music Hall ex
hibited on Saturday last the largest audience that
we have yet seen at any of the symphony con
certs. Miss Alide Topp was also upon the
programme for a concerto by Liszt in E
Bat major, and this fact added materially
to the number of spectators. Thc-"Reformation
Symphony" is quite different from Mendelssohn'a
later efforts, and after hearing It played one is
inclined to believe that Mendelssoftu himself was
a very good critic, for those works which he con
sidered unworthy of lale name and reputation he
very considerately consigned to places Where
. there would be but little chance of their seeing
the light. Such was undoubtedly the case with
regard to the "Reformation Symphony," There
seems to be a lack of ideas, and a want of breadth
and originality, which, for a composition of
Mendelssohn, is truly rare. The second move
ment is quite peculiar, and the third
the best. A perseverance in following up the
same thought through the parts for all the instruT
meats, In this Andante, le here remarkable; but
the beauty which at first charms us is soon
rendered tiresome by repetition. In the last
movement (andante and allegro maestoso) the
old choral used by Meyerbeer in the Huguenots,
and taken ti ft:: foundation for Nieolai's Roll
gious Overture, is introduced, although the air
appears somewhat changed Mendelssohn's" R
eformation Symphony" is evidently not destined_;
to have any very great success in America. It
will probably mem with the same fate upon this
side of the water that it did upon the other. If
strict criticism and just comparison are to settle
the question,it will not take long to have an ele
gant sufficiency.
Miss Topp's second appearance created even
more excitement than her first. The terribly
difficult concerto of Liszt seemed to. be rendered
with more ease than that of Schumann, performed
on Thursday. The young lady is certainly the
only artist who has taken a directhold upon Bos
ton audiences in some time. Her playing of Liszt
shows a study, strength and elegance perfectly
artonishing, and at once places her in the front
rank of the interpreters of the "king of pianists."
%Sehumann's beautiful concerto in A mindr,which
Miss T.pert ormed on Wednesday,although m
ficently rendered, was not as well done as that of
Liszt on Saturday. As an encore,Chopin'e "lier
cense ' made a most fitting contrast to the thun
ders of Liszt and showed to the audience an
exquisite feeling, and a touch which did fulljus
flee to the living sostennto tone given forth by
the fine Chiektering Grand, upon which Miss
Topp performed. Miss Phillips sang, "Vol cbe
sapete" of Mozart, as we have never heard her
slug before. A well-merited encore testified the
appreciation of the audience. The overture to
"William Tell" concluded the concert, which is
the last of the afternoon recitals. AMATEUR.

Mr. Milne Ramsey, whose paintings of fruit,
fish and other still life have always been popular
here, has been for many months studying in the
atelier of M. Bonnat, in Paris. His principal
attention is now directed to study of the human
figure, but It appears from an example we
have just seen that he occasionally finds
an hour for his - old favorites.
The picture we allude to was recently sent
home, and remains for the moment in the care of
the Lutist's family. It represents a dessert, a
l.'quenr•bottle encased in grass basketwork, a
tail glass of hock, with fruit and raisins. These
objects are painted with a boldness and unction
not heretofore reached in any of Mr. Ramsey's
pictures that we have seen; the very table-cloth,
disturbed convivially around the potables, forms
mass of good, bold drapery that he would
hardly have ventured to represent two years ago.
We see in the picture an evidence of close study,
and an augury of still better things to come.
VIT Y BULLETIN.
THE ORTITOP:EDIC ilosinTAl..—The managers
of this noble charity, in appealing to the public
for assistance, make the following statement:
The hospital, the first of the kind incorporated
in the United States, is specially devoted to the
science of Orthopraxy, or the treatment of
bodily deformities. The classes of cases Include
all the varieties of club foot, hip, spinal and
other joint affections, knock-knee, bow-leg hare
lip, wry - neck , paralysis, and the application of
artificial limbs; cases, therefore which are pecu
liarly objects of aid, and which forcibly appeal to
the benevolence of a charitable community.
These and other bodily deformities are, as a rule.
only remediable by mechanical apparatus, some
of which are necessarily complicated and expen
sive, and a course of treatment often extending
over months and years. The necessity of
this charity has already been fully
demonstrated by 'the fact that,- although
the hospital has been opened but a short period,
a large number of wretchedly deformed persons,
most of whom have been children, have been
cared for and are now progressing towards
health. The hospital is yet in its infancy, and
funds are necessary to Garry out the object for
which it was instituted. The charter authorizes
the Board of Managers to "procure the endow
ment of wards or free beds, which moneyE can
never be diverted from the purpose designed by
the donor." In accordance with this provision,
the Managers have determined upon the follow
ing :—A contribution of 194,000 will endow a per
petual free bed, always bearing the name of the
donor, which can be kept continually occupied
by a poor deformed person susceptible of cure or
relief whom the donor may designate. $l,OOO
will endow a free bed during the life of the donor,
with like privilege. ylio will constitute a life
member. $5 annually, a subscriber.
MURDEROUS AssAnur.—This morning, before
Alderman Maull, Calvin Green was charged with
assault and battery with intent to kill. Re Is 63
years of age, and hails from Richmond, Va. He
has lately been employed at Suffolk Park, in the
Twenty-seventh aril. Yesterday at the dinner
table he, got into a quarrel with D. M. Dunham,
who is also employed at the Park. Dunham
made a movement as if to strike Green, when the
latter seized a fork and plunged it into the neck
of Dunham. The wounded man went up stairs
and was followed by Green, who then struck
him on the head with a crow-bar. Dunham is
dangerously wounded. Green was committed
for a further hearing.
Miss AMY GIRDLESTONE, a new aspirant for
dramatic and lyric honors, makes her first ap
pearance at Mrs. Drew's Arch Street Theatre this
evening, in the operatic drama of The Child of the
Regiment. Report credits her with youth, trdent and
a voice of great richness, power and brilliancy.
These are qualities of which the profession stands
greatly in need, and we trust the fair debutante
will prove her claim to them this evening. She
will find a Philadelphia audience quick in its per
ception and generous in its appreciation.
THE NATIONAL I.4ITARDS.—The grand military
and citizens' dress ball of the National Guard Re
giment will take place this evening at the Hall,
in Race street, below Sixth. The ball of last year
vi as one of the finest given during the season.
The arrangements for the ball of to-night are of
the most complete character, and no efforts have
been spared to make it a brilliant affair, and one
of the greatest enjoyment to those who partici
pate.
AN UNGRATEFUL FELLOW.--A. young man.
named Edward Johnson, was before Alderman
Mink, this morning . , upon the charg.of. larceny.

decamped, taking with him a watch and a coat
belonging to his benefactor. He was committed
for a further hearing.
TUE FtmczNut Arcstvcasnity of the Northern
Home for Friendless Children will take place to•

Point, about dark last .evening, the men com
menced to take in the sail. One of the halyards
broke, and Wade was precipitated into the river.
