—Among those artists who sang at the funeral
of Rossini were Alboni and Patti. Alboni was In
her day one of the greatest exponents of Ros
sini's music. Her voice, of unusual power and
richness, was marked by a flexibility quite rare in
voices of such a heavy calibre. Rossini was very
fond of the alto voice, , and almost all of his
opera s—cspeclally his earlier ones—contained a
leading part for alto, usually-the part , Allotell by
later composers to tenors. In usually-the-part
"Tancredi," 0 "Cenerentola" and the "Donna del

NOME ON. THU BP4UMONT COLLECTION...4I is
our agreeable duty to notice more In detail the
Beaumont collection, to be, sold next Tuesday
au& Wednesday evenings by Mr. Scott at his
Art &Bitten Gallery, and now, on pithlic exhibi
tion at ,the Academy of Fine Arta (eastern roontO
Every indication goes to point out that this will b _
the first great sensation sale of the winter season
the quality of the works offered, the well-known
tact both of Mr. Beaumont, and Mr. Scott in ad
dressing the improving taste of American buyers,
and the great 'interest manifested every day in
the collection aeliciw exposed .or. speak plainly to
the fact that when a good esteqer offers goal
wares, the intelligent public of Philadelphia
is ready with its patronage. Another trace may
be found as brilliant success of the D'Huy
vetter sale, last Thursday and Friday,- - at &liner
S.: Barker's, In New York, when A. T. Stewart
~ought a Verboeckhoven for $2,600, another
wealtby connoisseur a flower-piece by Roble
kr $1,425, and another a historical picture by
lehatfeLs for $2,000. It is evident, from these
and other signs that the public of this country,
:to far from being saturated, has contracted that
appetite for good art which grows with what it
feeds on. We expect - great interest, and heavy
.11sbursements, at the scattering of these care
fully chosen pictures.
In the northeast gallery, among the works to
be sold on Tuesday, we observe the following
worthy of special notice:
No. 8, Mignot, of New York; one'of thlsfavor.
Ito painter's splendid sunsets, filled with the
light of tropical lands.
No. 12, Lenient de Metz, of Paris, child pluck

preparing for school, yielding through the door
. nay a view of the courtyard in the full play of
morning light, is enough almost to illuminate a
,- - oom by itself.
No. 21. Amberg of Berlin. "Pleasant
thoughts." Those who know bow difficult it is
to manage white, will be charmed by the treat
ment of the snowy peignoir on this beautiful
zirlish figure.
No. 22. Klombeck, "Winter Scene"—so con
cientionsly painted that we have not the heart
to say it is slightly hard.
No. 2G. Theodore Frere, Econen. One of this
artist's favorite Arabian scenes.
No. 36. Eastman Johnson. A qalis , leal figure
of our dear friend Toodles, in his limberest state,
',alarming over his bottle which lies on the ground,
..nd considering whether it will be safe to stqop
for it.
No. 86. Jan Platteel, of Brussels "Market
Day, Island of Walchercn,in Winter." A buxom
Fksaing market-girl, with other figures: a picture
of importance in the history of Brussels art: that

judge, speaks of this game piece as one of the
finest in his gallery.
No. 67. Carl Hoff. Hanging beside the last
mentioned picture, this magnificent Interior, with
i ts heavy splendor of color, damages, to some
extent, the less gorgeous paintings around it.
Nthongh the artist dates from - Dusseldorf, his
style is emphatically ;French, and the picture
makes you think of something very fine from the
ateliers of De Jonghe or Vetter. The antique
hangings of embossed leather, the heavy grace of
the furniture, the beauty of the female figure
and the rich tone spread over all, make of this
picture a little fortune for the possessor.
A still finer group of pictures will be found in
he other (south-eastern) gallery, to whien we
shall refer to-morrow.

NEW ARTISTIC BRONZES AT CALDWEWS.—
Ilia firm, who have done so much al
ready to elevate the taste of the com
munity, have just set out among their
jewels an exhibition of art-gems of - exquisite
quality. These are the statuettes in bronze. Messrs.
Laidwell & Co. are determined to exclude from
their collection all but works of a lofty assay in the
quality of the metal and of a high art-character.
The artist and the connoisseur will be charmed,
in proportion to their enlightenmentovith t
display at this new atatueigallery,i how filled_
with works of very recent importation
and most rigid selection. The copy
of that, peerless antique, the Venus of, Milo,
in the purest bronze, will be found in its
largest reduplication no less than three
feet five inches in height; the other
sizes,. in a descending scale, are as fol
lows: two feet ten inches, two feet, and nine
teen inches. There is nothing so fine for an
alcove us this superb and heavy bronze, with the
high quality of the metal shining darkly forth on
the reliefs of the chiseling, in the places where
the ordinary imitative bronzes betray the yellow
tinge of the brass which is their, foundation.
For the decoration of a parlor or the life-long
companionship of a study, nothing is so satisfy
ing as this uncriticizable Venns---for lithe things
of beauty are a joy forever, what shall be said of
Beauty herself in her most perfectembodimeut and
most goddess-like expression ?In the window of
Messrs. Caldwell & Co. may be seen another an
tique incarnation, a Cupid; as large as an infant,
'cuing the typical butterfly - on his own symbolic
rose. Of a graver sentiment are - a pair of mai.

Refutation of IBLeverdT Johnson's
Isuatemenuu -
A letter signed by 'Thomas Harvey, published
in the London. News, gives _the following ac
count of the outrages recently committed in
feaas•
'I have just returned from Texas, where I
have been living twelve months, working at the
Factors' Cotton Preas r Galveston. Daring that
time murders innumerable took place of the
most atrocious kind, and not a single excitation
by the authorities. It lathe fashion in Galveston
tor every man and woman to carry a pistol or
bowie-knife on all oecalions—at work, and at
their meals,and when going to eharch. I never
dared, the whole time' I was there, to go oat
after eight o'clock at night nor dared I hint that
was an Englishman—if I had my life would
have been 'sacrificed. I had great difficulty in
getting away, having to work my way home,
where I landed entirely destitute, but thankful
to God that I had escaped with my life."
A day or two after the publication of this letter
the following also appeared in the London News.
The writer is Professor Cleveland, of Philadel
phia, known to English scholars as the author of
the "Milton Concordance," and editor of Lyra
Sacra A mericana.

thirty years' standing, , and endeavoring to keep

The Delaware Whipping; Post.
The Boston Post has, the following comments
ipon the New Castle flogging of Saturday last:
In these days, when the right of inflicting
orporal punishment is restricted to the heads of
smiles, and its applicatiln even then pro
gaited except hi the case of youths of tender
go, the spectacle of a judicial lashing in
Delaware is particularly obn.ixious to the
sense of propriety, to say nothing of any deeper
eeling of disgust. The use of the `rod,' notwith
standing its indorsement by high authority, is
)t , t a disputed benefit in an educational way.
Flogging has been abolished in.-the army and

tilt from lacerating the back of a poor old man

shame of the hiljeops proceeding, 'cried bitterly'
as the officers of the law plied the 'cat.' They
had the humanity, it seems, to half freeze one
poor fellow, wedged up in the pillory, before
dogging him, which probably deadened the sting
of the lash, but it could not lessen the degrada
tion or annul the brutalizing effect upon the
spectators. Here is a 'relic of barbarism' that
can furnish good business for the agitators."
Letter from Chief Justice OntisektO
PA Outtierner.
The following letter was written in April last
by Chief Justice Chase to Mr.' H. W. Hilliard, of
Ueorgia, being drawn out by a published letter
from Mr. Billiard declining to be a candidate for
Congress, but giving his views of politicAl affal B.
WASHINGTON, April 27, 1868.-;Dear 'Sir: Some
days since I received from an unknown hand a
paper containing et letter of yours, which I read
with great interest.
My acquaintance with you when we were both
In Congrese—you in the House and I in the Sen
ate—was very slight; but, slight as it was, I take
occasion from it to write you a few lines sug
gested by your letter.
Ever since the war closed I have been very
Anxious for the earliest practicable "restoration'
of the States , of the South to theit_proper rela
tions to the other States of the-Utiloh. I adopt
your own statement of the problem to be worked
our, because I agree with youju the opinion that
these " States have never been other than States
within the Union since they became parties to
the Federal GoVernment, and that the failure to
maintain Their assertion of independence in the
conflict of arms hich followed left them States
still within the Union."
The point on which I probably differ from you
Is this—the people for whom and through whom
these States were to be organized at the close of
the war were not, as I think, the same people as
those who existed in them when the war began.
In my judgment the refusal of the proprietary
class, if it may be so called, to tecognize that
fact and its legitimate and, indeed, logical conse
quences, and the convictions of largo majorities
in the States which adhered to the national gov
ernment in respect to it, caused most of the
trouble of the last three years.
.
I have not time to go at large into this sub
ject;. but I may say briefly that emancipation
came to be regarded by these majorities as a mil
itary necessity; that the faith of the nation was
pledged by the proclamation of emancipation to ,
maintain the etuancipated people in the posses
sion and enjoyment of the freedota it conferned;
pud to this cod the hinendment to the constltitt-
'OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
tion prohibiting 'slavery throughout the United
States was proposed and tatitied r - that, beet:tieing
freemen, the 'emancipated peop le' became =et,-
early citizens, and that, as , citizens, they'
were entitled to be consulted in - respect.
to reorganization and -to the means
or self protection by •suffrage. This is a 'very
brief but, I think, a perfectly correct statement
of w hat may be cidied, for the sake of brevity,
the Northern view of this matter. It would,per
haps, be tome correct to call it the loyal view
North and Soutb, using the. word loyal as dis
tinguishing the masses who support the national
government from the masses who opposed it dur
ing the war,
Now the particular matter to which I wish to
draw your attention is, whether policy and duty
do not require the class which I have called pro
prietary, meaning thereby the educated and cul
tivated Men of the South, whether property
holders or not, to• accept tnis view fully and act
upon. IL
Is it possible to deUbt that; had this view been
accepted and acted Open -three years ago, atter
the surrender of Lee and Johnston, the tionthern
States would have been richer to-day byhundreds
of millions than they are, and that long ago aril
versal amnesty and the removal of all disabilities
would have prepared the hearts of the men on
both sides for a real Union? Can it be a matter
of question that the colored voters, finding in the
educated masses true friendship, evinced by fall
recognition of their rights and practical acts of
good will, would have gladlygiven to those
classes substantially their old lead in affairs, di
rected now, however, to Onion and not to dis
union; to the benefit of all, and trot exclusively ,
to the benefit of a class.
I observe that you say that the "attempt to
carry on the government with the privilege of
universal faiffrage incorporated as one of its
elements is full of. danger." Danger is the con
dition of all gov‘rnments, because no form of
government insures wise and beneficent adminis
tration. But I beg yon to consider, is there not
a greater danger without than with universal
suffrage? Yon cannot make suffrage less
than universal for the whites, and will
not the attempt to discriminate excite
such - jealousies and ill-feeling as will post
pone to a distant future what seems so essential
—namely,the restoration of general good will and
the bringing into lead of the educated men and the
men of property, and so securing the best and
most beneficial administration of affairs for all
classes? Take universal suffrage and universal
amnesty and nil will be well. Gan you, my - dear
sir, devote your fine powers to a better work than
complete restoration on this basis? Very truly
and reslectfullEyonrs. 8. P. CHASE.

—Miss Kellogg had good reason to be gratified
and flattered with ker reception at Concert Hall
on Wednesday evening. The audience was very
large, and the enthusiasm was of the most irro
pressillie character. All the artists were hand
somely received, but Miss Kellogg was nearly
overwhelmed with applause upon her first entry
to the stage, and each of her songs was followed
by an encore and a presentation of bouquets and
baskets of flowers. it was easy to perceive that
very much of the interest in the fair singer was
inspired by the fact that she had been successful
abroad, and had been very warmly praised by the
English press. Part of the enthusiasm must be
credited to the patriotism which finds satisfac
tion in the triumph of an American artist among
the "blasted Britons;" part to that very Ameri
can trait which perceives great merit only in per
sons and [binge which have been pronounced
good by European critics.
But It Is-fair to say that Miss Kellogg has very
great intrinsic merit. She is not a better singer
DOW than she was when last . ehe appeared at our
Academy in opera, but she is quite as good, and
her powers then Were of the bestdescription. She
boa a pure; sweet, flexible soprano, of large com
pass, end she manages it skilfully and well. On
We dnesday evening she first sang the polacca from
1. Puritarii, and, as an encore song, gave with
charming grace the pretty little ballad "Beware."
With Signor Petrel% she next gave a duet from
Mozart's Nozzo di Figaro. An air from Don Gio
ranni followed, and was heartilly encored, when
Miss Kellogg sang an Italian kissing song in such
a superb manner that it, in tarn,bwaa encored and
repeated. Her portion of the entertainment con
cluded with a trio from Verdi's Attila—sung by
Miss Kellogg, Signori Petrelli and Lotti.
The other great attraction at` this concert was
Ands Topp, of - whose merits as a pianist we have
heard so much. Her lame has not been too great
for her ability. In many respects she is a better
player than any of her sex who have ever ap
peared in this city. , There have, indeed,been but
law male performers who could surpass her.
Her execution is remarkable for evenness,
liana, power; and excellence of phrasing. She
produces a quality of tone from the instrument
that is very remarkable for a female player. If
she has a fault, it is that there Is too much force,
and not quite enough delicacy of expression; bat
this deficiency was not so obvious as to be very
diagreea hie during one evening's entertainment.
It, might give monotony to Miss Topp's playing
ll we should hear her often. She that performed
a funtasie by Liszt,'and in response to an enthu
siastic encore she played ono of Chopin's waltzes.
In the second part of the entertainment she gave
Huff's "Polka dela Heine,"and ae an encure piece
a waltz by the same composer.
Herr Koptit'a feats with the violin were not
the least attractive portion'of the entertainment.
This young gentleman belongs to the Paganini
school, and iris •performance was characterized
by all the brilliancy and eccentricity of its class.
Herr Kopta did very marvellous things with his
instrument, and proved his capability of attalu
ing higher excellence in the future.
Signor Lotti, a fine, sweet German tenor, sang
very charmingly, and Sig. Petrilli guvea solo, in
a creditable manner: In every respect the con
cert was a pleasant success, and we sincerely
hope the manager will be rewarded with fall
houses this evening and to-morrow afternoon.

Ftrst . Symphony.by Beethoven. —The Symphonies
of Beethoven may be said to be new to the people
of this country. It was only in lea, or about
that period, that they were introduced to French
audiences at the Concerts Bpirituels, in Paris, by
11. Habeneck, A. great deal of fault was found
with this music then. "It was odd, incoherent,
diffuse, bristling with hard modulations and bar
barous harmonies, *without melody, of an ex
travagant expression. too noisy, and of a horrible
difficulty." M. Habeneck, to satisfy the people
of pretended taste, had to make large "cats"
when he played these Symphonies. The 'Society
of the Conservatoire," however, by its judicious
action in frequently performing them, brought
them into favor. The public—that is, the
genuine public—that welch belongs to
no clique or party—only judges by its
feelings, and not after narrow ideas or ridiculous
theories in art ; this same public, which is often
deceived in epite of itself, since, as it many a
lime happens, it recalls its own decisions, was
struck at once by some of the eminent qualities
of Beethoven. The nubile did not ask it such a
modulation was relative to such other; if certain
harmonies were permitted by the old masters;
nor if it was allowable to employ certain rhythms
which they had not yet known• it perceived only
that these rhythms, these harmonies and these
modulations, ornamented with a noble and im
paesioned melody, made a deep impression on
them, and moved their inmost feelings in a man
ner unusual to them. What more was wanted to
call forth their plaudits ? This little history
of the Paris public is not singular.
The First Symphony in C major, by its form.
Its melodic style, its harmonic sobriety, and its
instrumentation, is entirely distinct from the
other works of .Beethoven which followed it.
The composer,
in writing it, was evidently under
the control of the ideas - of Mozart, which he has,
hoWever, sometimes enlarged, and throughout
ingeniously imitated. In the first and second
parts, however, we can see cropping oat, from
time to time. some rhythms of which the author
of Dm: Giovanni has made use, it is true, but very
rarely and in a manner much less striking.
The first allegro has for a subject a phrase of
six measures, which, without having anything
particularly characteristic in itself, becomes af
terwards interesting from the art with which it
is treated. A melody which is heard in a subse
quent episode is poi or a vary _elevated style,and,
by means of a halt-cadence repeated three or
four times, we come to a passage for tee wind
instruments in trajection. - by fourths, which cre
ates the greater astonishment at being found
there, as it had already frequently been used in
several overtures of French operas. The andante
contains an accompaniment of kettle-drams,
piano, which seems at our day something quite
ordinary; but it must be recognized, however, as
the prelude of striking effects which Beethoven
has produced later, by the aid of this instrument,
ither little or badly employed generally by hie
predecessors. This movement is moat- charm
ing; the motivo is grain-fill, and falls in well with
thefugaeodevelopments,hy the means ofpvhich the
composer has known so well to turn it to good
account in an ingenious and piquant manner.
The scherzo is the first-born of this family of
charming badinages, the form of which was in
vented by Beethoven, who decided the movement
and 6nbatitnted it in nearly all his instrumental
works for the minuet of Mozart and Haydn, of
which the movement is far less rapid and the
' character entirely different. This one has ex
quisite freshness, agility and grace. It Is the
only genuine novelty of this Symphony, In which
the poetic idea, which shines so conspicuously
in the works that followed it, is less apparent
than in them. This music is, however, admirably
composed—clear, vivacious , slightly accented,
sometimes deficien tin warmth of color and depth
of feeling, as in the rondo finale, for instance.
The critics say, in a word, "Beethoven has not
arrived yet." This of course must be understood
as meaning that he has not yet. departedifrom his
first style—the style -of Haydn and. Mozart; but
who will say that their style was meagre or bad,
or that their works are wanting in the-.great
attributes of genius and inventive power? We
DOW at their name with uncovered head and deep
reverence on our lips.
Beethoven had hie three manners—first, second
and third, jest as Raphael and Rubens had—each
perfectly and distinctly characterized. These
differences of style, these directions 'of his
thought, these capital transformations of his
genius, are the courses of his work, as in ma
sonry. If a work of Mozart's- youth is inferior
to a production of his years of strength and
perfect maturity, the man is none the less the
same—the talent alone has grown. •It is other
wise with Beethoveni. Ills first manner
is recognized to the Third SymPithny.

The Pittsburgh Gazette of the 26th says: .
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the raga-
lar freight train west left this city and was. fol
lowed, in a few minutes afterward, by an extra.
freight train, and at three o'clock the regular
mail and passenger train west departed on . . the
Pan Handle road. At Mansfield the first train ,
stopped at the station for the purpose of biting
in water, and in obedience to the rule of the
Company, a flagman was sent back to sig
nal the extra freight train, which on-observing
the signal. stopped skint four hundred yards
back of the first train. The engine was cat loose
from the train and ran down to the water eta- '
don, leaving the train standing on the main
track, and no•flagman was sent back or signal
of any kind given to warn the engineer of the
mail train, which was due at that point, of the
obstruction. A short distance from whore the
extra freight train—stoppedilhere is a - short—
curve,and the mail train coming up at full speed,
the engineer being unaware of the danger which
awaited him, a collision was inevitable.
As soon as the engineet on the mail train, John
Woodall, saw the impending danger, he whistled,
"down brakes," reversed his engine , . and, seeing
that a collision was unavoidable, Jumped front
his engine, and striking hie head against %switch
box, his neck was broken and he died almost
instantly.... The _fireman, a Mr. Brown, who it
appears remained on the engine, was severely -
jured, but it is thought his injuries will not prove •
fatal.
The conductor of the extra freight, whose in
excusable carelessness caused the twelfth; left
his train immediately after the occurrence and'
has not since been heard of.
