ART ITEMS. Baim.'i’s statue of Washington is now visible to the public in the marble-yaixT of Messrs. Shutbcrs & Sou. It is in J Italian stone, and of heroic size, the block being eight feet and a half high. The conception has the merit of simfiuclty and good taste; Washington is represented ih his drhsß Of ceremony, the left hand resting on the court-sword which be longs to the costume, while a pedestal, draped wltLthe flag and supporting- and a volume, sustains the right. The clothing is copied from the velvet and satin suit pre served.at Washington. The likeness is of a vouncer Cpoch than that of the well-known portrait by Btuart, and rather favors that in Houdon’s statue. This figure is to be placed in front of Independence Hall, and will be embraced in the same view with Bailly’s other statudi the Franklin on the corner or the Ledger building. The Washington has been prepared at ihe expense ot the children re ceiving free education in Philadelphia public schools. The amounts con tributed barely cover the expense for the figure alone (Mr. Badly suffering an actual loss), and leave nothing for a. pedestal. We regret to see that a Sunday paper has thrown itself against the proposition to renew the subscription, and let the children have the honorable satisfaction of completing what they have begun. WhUe admitting that beg ging 'from the scholars is a bad thing, and that the present scheme in its inception may have been an objectionable precedent, we think it obvious that the donors of the money should now be invited to plant the statue they have paid for. And there can be nothing invidious; no heart-burnings in youthful boßo^S,' no injudicious distinguishing be tween rich ana poor, in a case where one cent a week, contributed three times by the sixty or seventy thousand public school - chddren of the city, will amply cover the proposed expenses. —Aifi#hibitlpn of water-color drawings and oilier cartoon art, for the benefit of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, will be held in the galleries of the Artists Fund, and with the co-operation of that Society, from the 15th of April next The Committee of Arrangements include some well- koown patrons of water-color, such as Jos. A- Esq., Dr.F. W.Lewis, Edward 8. Clarke, &c. —Akt in Washington.— The opening of a large and handsome public hall is about to be celebrated in Washington City by an ex hibition of paintings and other works of art. The persons who have the matter in charge are, we understand, highly respectable and responsible, and the authorized agent tor col lecting pictures is now visiting the Northern cities and meeting with ample encouragement from'artists a'nd patrons of %rt. It is pro posed to open the exhibition toward the latter part of the present month, and it will pro - bably be a leading attraction duriHg the coming inauguration festivities. We record this movement with pleasure, and trUßt that it will have a refining and humanizing effect upon the" horde of' politicians and place hunters who congregate in the national me tropolis—a centre that year by year is be - coming g greater point of attraction not for politicians only, but for all lovers of excite ment and pleasure. In view of the intended exhibition, perhaps a slight sketch of the art treasures already existing to Washington may be appropriately published. Of the eight paintings which fill up the Itotunda of ihe Capitol, four are truth ful but not very great revolutionary scenes executed by Trumbull; the Pilgrims by Weir, and the Columbus by VaDderlyn, both of which are highly creditable; and two wretched specimens by Chapman and Powell. In the House wing of the Capitol is “Westward Ho !” by Leutze, and two full length portraits oi Washington and La Fay ette, by Stuart and Peale; while in the Senate wing is" displayed a Mexican battle scene by Walker. Excepting the namby-pamby and preposterous decorations scattered throughout the building under the direction of M.. C. Meigs, when he was the superintendent by special appointment of Jefferson Davis, and also excepting the inßide of the Capitol dome , where an Italian artist has painted some operatic scenes, with portraits of famous insurgents —the pictures we have mentioned are about all that the government of the United States can call its own. Scat tered here and there may also be seen a few statnes by such men as Powers, Stone, Craw ford and Mills, but beyond theße the Capitol, the executive mansion, and the great depart ment buildißgs, so far as the fine arts are con cerned, are nearly as destitute as the “halls of Balclutha.” If the works of art just men tioned should be deemed almost pitiful in view of the immense resources of tbe coun - try, we regret to say that the immediate future in regard to art patronage by the government is anything but satisfactory. A pretty and fascinating school miss is doing up a statue or two under the patronage of a few Congressmen, and Mr. Powell has been selected, at a cost of twenty thousand dollars, to perpetrate another picture of American hißtory, to be compiled like his last effort, perhaps, from French engravings.— Round Table. —The second cartoon of KaulbachV ‘Dance of Death” ib completed. To judge from the descriptions it must be a very curious and original production. The chief figures are the Empress Marie Louise and her son, the young King of Rome, receiving the congra tulations of a crowd of kings and princes, who are presented by Death, as master of ceremonies. Talleyrand stands as Mephis topbeles behind the Empress, and takes a pinch of snuff, Co conceal his grin at the sycophantic attitude of the sovereigns, who are swinging their crowns in their hands, in the manner of peasants swinging their caps. —Since the death of the painter Cornelius, a number of portfolios have been discovered, containing drawings and sketches for pic tares, of the existence of which no one was aware. They number 274,and some of them are said to possess great artistic value. —Baron Von Brandis, who spent six years in taking photographic views of the scenery of Siberia, Mongolia, and the Ural, now an nounces the publication of 250 views, in five volumeß.

The Pall Mall Gazelle thus accurately ei pr«6CB our own feeling about our iellow-towns man’s capital story, recently published by Fields, Osguod & Co.: •We have read ‘Cast away in the Cold,' by Dr. Isaac 1. liayes, with great Interest. It la in teudi d to interest boys, and we do not doubt that it will succeed in that as well. It is a yarn spun by Cupt.

The Central A drocate gives a dark picture of the privations of many ministers laboring on our southwestern frontier. Some of them have been compelled to support their families for three months on twenty-five dollars, and, others have not tasted meat for two months. The country hoe suffered from Bhorl crops, and all the people are pressed for means to carry them through the year. The New School Presbyterians of this eity have adopted measures to relieve a number of churohes that have been struggling with pecu niary embarrassments. They resolved, at a re cent meeting, to raise at once the amount needed to lift the indebtedness with which the congre gations were burdened. Two men subscribed ®20. 000 each, and the balance wIU be forthcom ing without delay. Wilson's ‘ Presbyterian Historical Almanac for 1860" gives the following as the number of churches of different denominations in this coun try Methodist, 19 883: Baptist, 12,lath Presby terian, 6,406; Roman Catholic, 2,550; Congrega tionalism, 1,234; Episcopalian, 2,145; Lutheran, 2.128; Chrislian, 2,068; Friends, 726; German Reformed, 685; Universalists, 661; Dutch Re lurmed, 440 t Unitarian. 264; Jewhsh, 77; Ad ventist, 70; Bwcdenborgian. 68; Moravian, 49; Spiritualists, 17; Shaker, 12; Minor Beets, 26. A wiuTEn in the last Princeton Review gives the origin of the Presbyterian Church in this corln try. Ho dates It back to the year 1705, at which time there were five organized congrega tions in the Btale of Maryland. In 1716 the first synod was formed, composod of three Presby teries—that of Philadelphia, embracing six min is ters; that of New Castle, also consisting of six, and that of Snowhill, Maryland, of three. The Westminster Confession of Faith was maintained from the beginning, and was formally adopted, :.nd made obligatary, in 1729. The May Anniversaries of the religions so cieties, it is announced, will be discontinued in New York. The Bible Society has decided to hold no formal annual meeting this year, apd the other societies, it is predicted, will adopt the same course. The decliue of the anniversaries commenced when the Tabernaelo Church wasdo serted, and the societies were unable to obtain a large hall where ail could be accommodated on successive days. It is further asserted that the rebellion had an injurious effect, by diverting at irntion to patriotic subjects exclusively, and that the anniversaries for the last six or eight years have been attended by very lew persons, and the w ant of an audience has cast a damper, a chill, a gloom over the occasion. The Rev. Geo. J. Mlngins, Superintendent of the New York City Mission and Tract Society, has issued the forly-stcond annual report, in which the number cf the principal Evangelical churcheb in that city is given, as follows: Bap tist, 43, of which 12 are missions; Congrega tional, 8, including 1 mission; Jewish, 29; Lu theran, 14; Methodist Episcopal, 35,besides 18 mlaslone; Old School Presbyterians, 24, and half as many missions; New School PrOßbyterians,2l, and 14 missions; Protestant Episcopal, 98 churches, chapels and missions; Reformed (.Dutch), 18, with 7 missions; Roman Catholics, 39; Unitarian, 3; Universalis!, 3, and 2 missions; United and Reformed Presbyterian, 14, noarly equally divided between them— besides a number of small sects that havo very Utile numerical strength. The eleventh anniversary of the Bethany Mis sion, at Twenty-second and Bhlppen streets, was held'on Tuesday evening last. The spacious building was filled to its utmost capacity, the pupils to the number of 1,12 G, with their teachers, filling the main room. Many were unable to gain admission. The interior was boautltully deco rated for the occasion with oil paintings repre senting scriptural and other scenes, tropical plants and flowers, &c., which, with, the pretty fountain in tho centro of the main room, formed a beautiful picture. The exercises consisted of singing, distribution ol oranges, cakes and con cc.tloncrv to each pnpii, and presentations of various articles to mo superintendents and teachers. Few oS our citlaens aro aware oi the existence of an institution of such a mammoth character in our city, and a visit will amply re pay them.

Front auu Otter (Second precinct,Sixteenth Ward), botwoen 8 and y o'clock; Flanigan camo to tho polls betora 8 o’clock, and came to the centre of tne line; I said to blin, "Yon are not coming to vote; you have do right to vote ot this precinct;” he said,“l have, and with that he spit in mv face, and with that I struck him; ho went away and was gone about TO minutes; bo came back and came straight op to me, threw his coat back and said, “Won’t I vote?" ho had a deputy sheriff's on; I said, "that don’t give you any moro right to vote than you had before;" then ho pulled out a pistol and aimed it at me and fired; I caught bold ol the hand he had thoplstol in and wrestled with him, and threw him on tho pavement with utc on top ol him, and ho tried to get the pistol to my leil side, and I turned it away, and the pis. tol went off; none of the shots struck me,but the first one burnt my eyelash; the police took charge of him after tho second shot was fired. G-068-txamined— The first that occurred was when I told him he had no right to vote; didn’t know that ho had voted there for four years. Officer Georgo W. Hart testified that be-heard Lucas 6ny to Flanigan, “You can't vole here,” end Flanigan replied, “Yes I can, and 111 show yon 1 can:" afterwards saw Flanigan leave; about twenty minutes afterwards hoard somebody cry out, “Look out," and turning he saw Flaulgau with’a’pletol raised ready to fire; the pistol went eff, Lucas standing in front of Flanigan; Lucas and Flanigan clinched, and before witness got ;here the second shot was discharged: they were n the net of falling when the second shot was discharged; while witness was taking Flanigan to t he station-house some one came up and said to the difeudant, “You ore a pretty man to fire a pistol in a crowd and kill a boy," and Flanigan replied, “I wish I had blown the head off tho s I suppose he meant Lncas, and not tho boy. . ■ Two other witnesses testified to the occurrence, but developed nothing new. , Jacob Rickards, who saw the boy Poririns, testified that after the second shot he saw Perkins place his hands on his stomach and cross tho slrt et and lean against a fence. Joseph Wasey testifiod that ho was standing by the boy PerklDS, while Lucaß and Flanigan were together; that Lucas had hold of Flanigan’s hand containing the pistol, and had forced it behind hi 6 back, when Flanigan palled tho trigger, and the boy was shot; Lncas was bending Flanigan over, and he bad Flanigan’s hand behind his (Lncas') back when the pistol was discharged and the boy shot. , Cross-examined—l did not see Flanigan pull the trigger, but the pistol was in his hand wnon the boy was shot. s. The Commonwealth here closed. Mr. Cassidy, for the defence, inquired what the Commonwealth could ask for under the testi mony in tbiscast? Here was a conflict betwecu two persons, and in the midst of it a pistol is ac cidentally discharged, killing a party outside and not a party to the affair. Mr. Hagert said that this was assuming that the discharge was accidental; that is tho question for the jury. , , .. Judge Ludlow decided that it was a case for the jury. ihe defence set up that the prisoner was ap pointed a depnlv sheriff; he w.as not a corner lounger, but an honest eltxien residing In this prtcinct. On election day there was an organi zed resistance to the sheriffs officers, and Lucas, I.s the lender of the crowd, stepped up to Flaol puu aLd asserted that ho did not live in tho pre cinct, and struck him. Flanigan, wishing to avoid difficulty, walked away. Afterwards he re turned,bearing fils badge as deputy. As soon as he reappeared Lucas slapped him In tho face, threw : 11,- nat in the gutter,and did everything to excite 1 luLigan, and called him “ah—of a deputy. Lucas and bis friends made an assault, and while thus asaailtd the pistol was discharged the second urue, while Flanigan’s arms were pinioned. It was uleo alleged that the deceased, although not a voter, was one of Mr. Flanigan’saggailants. The testimony for the delence whs directed to chow only that the defendant was a man of good character, known as a peaceable and inoffensive citizen, and while in the army, where he served lor a number of years, he was so quiet and little disposed to quarrel that his companions wore tn the habit of making a “bull” of him. It was also testified that the deceased was In the crowd sur rounding the defendant crying out “Go in, Dennis,” (the nick-name of Lucas ) The jury retired at twenty miuutes ol nine o’clock, last evening. At twenty minutes of ten o’clock, the jury aot having agreed, the Court adjourned. CITY BULLEIUi Store Robdery.— George Thompson, alias Blacksmith Dan, was before Aldurman Kerr, charged with being concerned In a larceny yes terday morning, at the dry goods establishment of Messrs. Bush, Bunn <fc Co., No. 436 Market street. John Nugent, who Is employed by the above-named firm, testified that the defendant came into the store and inquired for Mr. File, ODe ol the salesmen. He was informed that he was not in, but it was expeeted that he would 60od be there. While conversing with defendant another man came in and made the same in quiry, receiving the same answer. This individ ual walked through the sloro, looking at the goods, and was observed in the act of slipping some pieces of silk under hla coat. Nugent cried out, “stop thief," whereupon the man threw a piece of silk upon tho floor, but succeeded in escaping with several pieces. The witness then held on to the defendant, who re mained, and requested him to sit down in tho office until Mr. File camo in, but this he refused. He detained him, however, until he procured as distance, and handed him over to the polico au thorities. The prisoner represented himself to be a peddler and stated that he resided at Corry, Fennsvlvnnla. Kete'etlve Officers Franklin, Tryon and Levy testified that they knew the accused to be a pro fessional thief, and that he was known to them as Blacksmith Dan. ’He was committed in defanitof $2,000 bail to answer at court.

And there ho told me,' blushing soft—alrmo!— Of one that he conld lore, —so yoang, so fair, Like mlno tho color ot her oyes and hair; O foolish heart! I thought that I was sht! Fell flowed his manly beard; his eyes so brown Made sweet confession with their tender look; A thousand times I kissed him In the brook, Across the flowers,—with bashful eyelids down. And oven yet I cannot hear the stir Of willows by a water but X stop, And down the warm waves all their length I drop My empty arms, to And my harvester. In all bis speech there was no word to mend; Whate’cr he said, or right or wrong, wob best, Until at last ml arroic.plercod my. breast, , Tipt with o fatal point,—he called me friend! Still next my heart the fading rose I wore, Bnt all so sad; fall well I knew, God wot, That I bad been In love and be bad not, And In the barley-fleld I gleaned bo more. —Atlantic Montihyfor March THE COMPOSER OF “FAUST.” From an interesting article on Gounod, adapted from the German for the Galaxy, we select the following extracts: DEBSONAI-ITrES ABOUT GOUNOD. I first made Gounod's acquaintance during the past summer, in Paris, where ho lives in a pleasant hotel in the quiet Rue de la Roche foucauld. ilia reception rooms are in the entresol, while the apartments occupied by . his family are on the premier etage. In personal appearance Gounod is not unlike a German, being of middle height, strongly built, with blonde hair and beard; his black, flashing eye, however, is altogether French. The expression of his countenance is singu larly open and intelligent, and his whole air and bearing have the euse and elegance of a man of the world, and make a most agree able impression upon all who are fortunate enough to know him. His fifty years are not at all apparent. Gounod does not belong to the silent, dreamy order of composers like Schnmann,but the vivacious and sympathetic, out of whose wide and varied culture and ready flow of conversation,the desire to speak of their toils and struggles natumlly springs. In this he reminded ine somewhat of our Richard Wagner. With all his vivacity of temperament, however, Gounod is a tho roughly earnest man, somewhat inclined to enthnsiasm, taking the very highest view of ari, and serving it with a religious fidelity and jealousy.' He had just returned from one of the last rehearsals of hia “Romeo," and began—hav - Ing been rendered somewhat more animated and talkative than nsaal by the excitement— to complain of the various hindrances which stage traditions and customs put ia the way of the best intentions of composers. Tne director of the Theatre Lyrique, it seems, Was anxious to omit an entire cborus in “Ro meo," as making the act in which it occurred too long, and the prima donna encouraged him in this by her own dislike to sing in it. While relating the history of this difficulty, Gounod suddenly sat down to the piano, and played and sang the air in question, with an agreeable tenor voice and a good deal oi dra - malic expression. It was the marriage song in the third act ( O Juliette, sois heureuse), a noble, smoothly flowing choral, and a real ornament to the score. “Self-denial, " said Gonnod, “is the highest virtue of a singer, as it is the highest duty of a composer. I honor no artist who does not identify himself with his art, and who, instead of absorbing him self utterly in his work, has his own person ality ever in' view. If a singer executes a piece of music otherwise than as the composer has written it, is this anything but a defamation and a slander ? In private lire we have some means of re dress for slander, bnt in art none. A com poser has no appeal—is often blamed,indeed, if a singer sings an aria with indifference or a want of sympathy. To be true, and to deny one's Belt,” he continued, with increasing warmth, “is the first aod highest la v of the dramatic composer. Woe t > him who does not find his best reward in his own labor! The mnsic of 'Romeo and Juliette' has for years past filled my wnolo soul, day and night, with mingled joy and pain; I owe to it the happiest hours of my life,and in the labor I have expended upon it I have already had my reward. What follows upon the com pletion of an opera—the rehearsals, the repre sentation, the subsequent success—is nothing but vexation and disappointment. If God were to give me the power to create a mas ter piece as perfect and as immortal as Shake speare's, with tho condition that no human being should ever know or suspect the com poser’s name, I should be a thousand times happier than 1 now am in the possession of the greatest success that ever, crowned the works which I kuow to be but faulty and im perfect.” Such and many similar remarks tell from Gonnod in the tire of his enthusiasm, aDd enabled me to recognize again in him the young enthusiast, who, as a boy. devoted himself entirely to tho service of the church, took the first vows, and only twelve or fifteen years ago still went about in his abbes habit. He Was dispensed from his vows, however, some years since, and is now a happy hus band and father. His wife is the daughter of the late Professor Zimmermann, pianist and professor at the Conservatory, who was also of German descent. ms niitTn and first opera. Charles Gounod was bora iti Paris on the 17th of J uue, 1818. Ha studied coun terpoint in the Conservatory there with Halevy, and took lessons in execution of Lesueur and Ferdinund PaCs. In the year 1839, he won the first, premium for composi tion.given at the Conservatory, and immedi ately repaired to Rome, where, in accordance with the regulations of the "grand, prix de Borne," he remained for several years as Stipendiary of the Government. During his residence in Rome he coufined his studies almust entirely to sacred music. In the year 1843, he spent some months in Vienna, and While there produced a vocal mass and a requiem. Upon his return to Paris, Gounod assumed the direction of the music in the Church of the Missions Btrangeres, and showed a marked leaning toward a re ligious life. Until the year 1851, a pro found .silence as to Gouuod and his works reigned in the musical world, the only t i*? 118 being contained in a few mu journals which published au announce ment that lid had taken holy . orders. There appeared, however, a musical sketch in the Isondon Athcnasum (written by M. Louis Vitttuot, the husband on the—famous -prim a f:°““ a ' ) ’v P ! ra , IB , u,K , aorao of Gounod’s composi- produced in London, With unusual warmth, and. ptfipheaying for him a brilliant future. The article niadea SAT]JRi)AY, SBRUARY 1869. sensation in Paris, where, a few months later (on the 16th of April, 1831), Gounod’s first °pe* a > “Sappho,” was represented. .Although afltfe and original talent was; universally re cognized in this opera (the principal role of Which was sung by Madam' Viardot Garcia), it baa only alimitedandbriefsuccesß. Peo ple found fault with the length of. the reclto live, the attempt at novelty In the musical and' the ignohince of - Btage effect. Half of the failure of this opera, however, was unanimously attributed to the libretto, which was the work of Emile Angier. “FAU6T,” IN PARIS AND GERMANY. On the I9ih of March, 1859, a day nevor to he forgotten In Gounod's artist life, “Faust” was given for the first time in the Theatre Lyrique, in Paris. The high rank which this opera at once took in Paris, and still maintains, soon extended its fame throughout the whole musical world of Europe. Darmstadt was the first German city which ventured to produce the novelty. The experiment succeeded admirably; but as one German theatre after another showed sigßS of following the example given at Darmstadt so much the more vehemently did a passionate Teutonic opposition elevate Itself against it. The new opera was posi tively pronounced to be a libellous parody of Goethe’s “Faust,” the performance of which on the German stage merited punishment, as a kind of musical high treason. But the German people did not sustain their critics; greatly to . their disgust, they listened to “Faust” with delight. After the great success of “Faust,” fortune again turned her back upon Gounod. None of the operas which he produced between “Faust” and “Romeo” had any run in Paris or any success abroad. The first of these was an opera in three acts, “Philemon and Baucis,” which appeared Ux the year 1860, in the Theatre Lyrique. Various graceful de tails were admired in this; but the music was built upon sand, upon a story without dra matic life aqd interest, and the excellent old couple speedily vanished from the stage. Then followed a greater production, this time not for the modest Theatre Lyrique, but for the Grand Opera—the “Queen ot Sheba.” The first representation of this opera was given in Parie, on the 28th of February, 1862, and later, in Darmstadt also, under the per sonal direction of the composer. Unfortu nately.we are again obliged to find fault with the libretto, (MM. Carre and Barbier.) The authors have depended too much upon splendor of decoration and unheard of scenic effects, and have given too little attention to the dramatic Interest of the story. Gounod’s next opera “Mireille" succeeded belter, though it was far from meeting with as brilliant a reception as “Faust” This t pera was given for the first time in the Theatre Lyrique, on the 19th of March,lB6l, and had a tolerable run. “IiO.MEO ASD JULIETTE.” Gounod's Dext and latest opera, “Romeo and Juliette," is by far the best and most suc cessful that he has produced since “Faust” “Romeo and Juliette" was given for the first lime in the Theatre Lyrique, on the 27th of April) ISG7," and very soon after in London, Milan and Vienna; and subsequently made the round of all the German theatres. Ot all Gounod's operas, the two which have been founded upon classical models have had the greatest success. The others, for which original librettos have been composed, have fallen into oblivion, in a great degree on ac count of the poor quality of the librettos. We must at least praise M M. Barrier and Carre for skill and considerable literary ability in the arrangement of “Romeo." They follow the original as closely as possible. The only exceptions worthy of note are in the case of the Page and the celebrationof Juliette's wed ding with Paris in the fourth act. The finale, too, is different; Gounod's Juliette flndß Romeo still living when she awakes, while in the original, as is well known, he lies dead beside her bier. The poet secures by this ending a deep and tender impression, but in the opera this could not be. Without a final duet between Romeo and Julietteno opera of this kind can exist. What a well spring of musical suggestiveness exists in the Shakespearian drama can scarcely be esti mated. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette is, in itself, a mighty duet. In the opera, which necessarily develops the lyrical ele ment still more, all the light falls upon the two lovers, and leaves the other personages in deep Bhadow. •■Romeo” had a long run in Vienna, and ia still played with great success, although it is evident that the public is by no means so powerfully moved by this music as by Uou nod’s “Faust.” Had “Romeo” as effective contrasts to the tender scenes as many pow erful and passionate ones, the arrangement of the opera would be beyond question. Tne single scene of this kind, where both auger and the wildest passion use the entire power of both chorus and orchestra, is the duet scene in the third act The tempest, however, lasts too short a time to succeed in cooling the heavy atmosphere. The ball in the first, and the wedding in the fourth act, are not made of sufficient importance; but everything is exhausted upon these two scenes, which, in Gounod’s score, called for a greater display oi richness and energy of material. Finally, there are so many and so frequently recurring slow movements in the opera, a vigorous handling of the orchestra is so rare, that the voire of the auditor must necessarily declare iiself against the lengthy conclusion of the ' 'pera. ‘ •Romeo” succeeds rather through a lew isolated and beautiful movements than through the effect of the whole. Delic-ete and original thoughts and fine traits of char acier are to be met with in abundance, but, as a whole, “Romeo and Juliette” is weari some. The next opera which we are to ex peel from Gounod, and upon which he is already at work,is “Francesca di Rimini,” the libretto of which has been arranged by J. Birbier and M. Cane, from Dante’s “Divina Comedia. ” This opera will be given in the course of the mxt two years, in the Grand Opera at Paris. The first foreign representation will be given in the Royal Opera House in Vienna, and Fratilein Ehnn has been assigned the rule of ‘ ‘Francesca. ” Protection to American Vessels inCu- ban Waters.
