Bulletin.] •Itos.row, June 18th, 18b9 Last- night the seats were removed from the floor of the Coll scum, and a grant ball was given.' It was rather a second-rate affair, for various reasons, hut chiefly because the best people of Boston did not attend in large numbers, and because the guests seemed lost in the immensity of the room. An orchestra of three or four hundred` musician's upon tne stage played Strauss, and Offenbach in superb style, and saved the en tertainment from absolute joylessness. The ball was given, I suppose, Tor the purpose of slicrwittg'the COMO= by gaslight. DEAD-nmAn AUDIENCE Mr. William Warren, the famowi comedian, will give a perfonnanoe in the.Boaton Museum this evening, to which the journalists visiting the city are invited. This will be the most enormous ".dead-headine ever: perpetrated upon a bitigle theatre In one evening. But Mr. Warren's kindness', and the generosity of the manager, have . been thoroughly appreciated, and he may expect, not a critical audience, but 'hearerswho will give Min credit:foreven more than his great deserts.- The programme contain the comedeis; A Victim of Circumstances and .4neethearts awl 'Fiefs. THE ()ROAN The more I hear the organ in the Coliseum the more lam impressed with its greatness. The best musicians visiting .here say that it, has more power; with perfect sweetness,l than any other instrument in the world. I have beard nothing but enthusiastic praise of its grandeur and magnificence. Several well known organists from :other cities are here, among them Mr. Henry (4, Thunder, of Firth delphia; and these add their testimonyto that of the others.. When the full power of the ha tor dine ut is called forth, it overshadows choins, orehestra, bands and artillery. It pours out a inighty;-irresistible torrent of harmenyi tilling' up the weak places in the vocalization and in . strumentation, and giving to the musical effect a sure, steady and true foundation. This in strument should make the fortune of its builders, for its praises will be sung in every ' . portion of the country. For my own part, I nm sure that we have organ-makers in Phila delphia: who can construct an instrument equally, as good, but they haVe never had the chance, and nerhapS never will. The Boston lirm were offered an opportunity, and im-'; proved it handsomely. 1111: BILL OF FARE The progranune for this, the - last of the four great concerts of the Jubilee, is, in many re-. speets, the best of any - yekoffered. It embraces,' as you will perceive, selections from. the . ls•st maters; some-Of them; works which will live and be loved until old Earth goes back to CLaos and Night. TUE - FLOW OF TEE: TIDE Early this morning the avenues radiating trout the Colisemn were completely tilled with . people rushing along in various conditions of nervousness and anxiety at the small pros , 'wets of procuring seats. At 2 o'clock every chair and bench in the building was tilled, and by the time the concert begun about live thou sand persons were standing beneath the gal leries in the lobby, The house was crowded nearly as it was yesterday, but everybody with a ticket wit in, and the aUthiders were those Who lacked the necessary rev petunia wherewith to purchase admission. THE PEnrcorsi.A...Non. , At :s o'clock Mr. Julius Eichberg stepped upon the - Tplatforni, awl, after some prelimi nary twittering upon the part of the orchestra —which caught its pitch from the sonorous A rolled out over it by the giant organ—the leader lifted his baton, and chorus, orchestras, and organ swept into the lively strains of Welters "Jubilee Overture." The selection was a grand one. Its name is .appropriate, and it has that festiiral character which well fitted the occasion. Besides this, the oveztUre contains effects which can be best produced by such 6normous masses as these assembled in the Coliseum to-day: And , 'so, from its character as a jailant, pretty and popular coutposition, from the admirable man ner in which it was given under Eichberg's able direction, it touched • the audience strongly; and when thejinu/e—the good oldair, "Goof Save the Queen"—was ended,the people broke into rapturous applause. bT. PAUL In the solemnly beautiful funeral anthem, "To God on High," from the ,St. Paul ora torio, thegreatness and power of the chorus was completely manifested.. Words cannot describe the overpowering effect produced by the performance of this noble choral as its full and majestic harmonies resounded through the vast auditorium. ' The greatest successes of the Festival have, undoubtedly, been with these great oratorib selections. Perhaps the orchestral performances would have equalled them in general effect, it' been possible to secure the uninterrupted quiet and attention that the choruses seem uniformly able to command. At the same time the co lossal scale Upon which the choruses of Han del, Haydn, Mozart and Mendelssohn are written, especially adapt them to reproduction by this immense force; and it is to - be con sidered, further, that in the 'chorus perfortn ances we have a combination of the vocal and orchestral effects. - • • "SLEEPERS, WALE !" And so,with the impressive "Sleepers Wake! -a-Voice-is Calling,"from the same oratorioi . wi with its magnificent trumpet interludes,the perform.- ance of which,with the others,has contributed so much to make the concert of to-day the most successful of the series. Here,as in the sublime Thanksgiving. Chorus fromthe Elijah (No. 6 on the programme),l can but say that my Impres sions are far beyond the power of ordinary' language to express. Nothing at all like it has ever been heard on, this continent, nor, until Boston repeats the undertaking, do I believe i t will ever be, heard again.' It . . It is idle and absurd to contrast it with any-. thing youlaVe ever been faVOred with in Phil adelphia, where scanty apologies for choruses do less than scanty justice to these great works.

The Gloria in Exce4sis 2 frOm Mozart's Twelfth M ass, was given again with the same magnifi cence with which it was sung upon Tuesday, The performance then was, as nearly perfect as it could be under the circumstances, and so to-day the audience could only enjoy the same satisfaction. • HALLELUJAH, AMEN ! The last of the four great concerts concluded with Handel's glorious Hallelujah'chorus. It was given, of course, by the entire force of singers and musicians, and With a tremendous result. The effect of the simultaneous up rising of the entire mass, audience, musicians and choristers, as this magnificent chorus commenced, was impressive and inspiring beyond description. The chorus, itself, was "not nearly so well sung as it was at this morn ing's rehearsal, the torce not working to gether with that remarkable unity which I have already liad occasion to notice as pre eminently a characteriStic of those great choral performances; and which I esteem one of the wonders and memorable attractions of the Peace Jubilee. . The Directors of the Public Schools of this city, with discrimination and enterprise which did them credit, some time ago selected Mr. Julius Eichberg—a musician who needs no praise from me—to organize and put into prac tice a system of musical instruction for the school children.

It was, in fact, the great Jubilee chorus-in miniature; and the sound was only a little bit` lighter and shriller: The ,chil dren were bright find intelligent-looking; and they seemed to enter into the spirit of the thing with true Bostonian earnestms. The audience was proud and delighted,as it should have been. I hope: some day to stand in the presence of as many singing children from Philadelphia schools,- and hear as exquisite music. .1 may say hbre that, Mad. Parepa Rosa and Miss Phillips have both voluntir:red to sing solos, and to assist generally at the children% concert to-morrow. Ole Bull, also, will play' a violin solo. • • TO WIND Tao. I nearly exhaust the stock of eulogistic ad jectives in writing of, these concerts, but it is impossible that any man should sit for three hours,listening to the music that has made the Coliseum glonous, without feeling intensely enthusiastic when he sits down to write about it. Looking back over the events of the past, four days, and listening: to 'the frantic praise of the hundred musicians and journalists around inc. I feel justified in saying that this Peace Jubilee now closing was in all respects the greatest and noblest l musical festival ever given on earth. It was la fitting celebration of the return of peace td, a people who have come through the waters - of - tribulation and strife, purified from the foul stains of slavery, into a hopeful Present which is but the an ticipation of a fairer and moreglorious Future of nberty and peace.

Those who are fanullar with the splendid school eys tem of Boston know that its popularity is so great, and its method so.. , perfect, that nearly all the children of the city attend the public schools—those , ,of the rich quite as muchas those of the poor. By 11 o'clock they were all in. - their seats, looking bright, cheerful and happy—a little army of beauty and innocence such as one seldom sees. I can give them no higherpralse than to say thafthey sang with ,qtute asmuch pfecisionand 'as the great cliciriawkose., place they had taken. There was about their voices an effect offreshnes.s,puribi, innocence and simplicity that cannot be described. The excellence ofthe concert was materially increased by the assistance of Madameyarepa and Miss. , These two great artists stood side by side in excellence in the "Quis est Homo" from Rossini's "Stab.it." The thousands of children who heard it on Satur day, and wlio .waved their handkerchiefs 'in Such an ecstasy of admiration, will remember it long, and may become fathers and' mothers and gray-haired men and women before they hear it better sung. . • Sacred Sunday Concert ill the Coliseum—.

Six hundred singers and two hundred and fifty instrumen talists were present, and Madame Rosa, Miss Phillips, Miss "%Mitten and Ole Bull were the soloists. There was a marked improvement in some of the choruses, but the "Thanks be to God," from "Elijah," was laken too slow. Messrs. Gilmore and Eichberg were the con ductors, and proved themselves efficient ones. The applause was enthusiastic and there were several encores. There is to follow a series of promenade concerts in the Coliseum during...the present week, and on about Wednesday of next week it is contemplated to give a benefit to Mr. Gil more, on which occasion many of the singers , and musicians present at theJubileti have vol unteered their services.

JAMES WATSON WEBS DR RANDS nits PASSPORTS. ite Origin of the Difficulty—Firmness of General Webb.-Secretary Seward's In structions,‘ Sharp Correspondence— Diplomatic Relations Suspended-. Brasil Withdraws the Cause of Offence at the Last Moment. Em JANEIRO, May .li.—For 'the past two Weeks tbis city has been in a state of excite ment over the suspension of diplomatic rela tions between the United States Minister, the well-known Gem James Watson Webb, and the. Brazilian Foreign Minister. The trouble created great consternation among commer cial and monetary men, inasmuch as the con sequences would have been Very injurious to the credit of Brazil in Europe, where she is seeking a loan. THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. In November, 1856, the Canada,an American whale. ship, ran on the Garcia reef,, near the mouth of the Rio Grande do :ls.lorte. The Captain and crew of the vessel worked man fully, and at last got her afloat. At this time some Brazilian soldiers, despite the pro tests of the Captain, seized her, notwithstand ing the fact that she was out of danger. The ship and cargo were afterwardsold,and the pro ceeds were depositedin.Dom Pedro's treasury. The Captain went to America and laid his case before the Hon. William . L. Marcy, Mr. Pierce's Secretary of State. Reclamation was demanded of the B razilian government. Senor Paraphos, then as now Minister of Foreign Alibirs, refused it. He charged the Captain of the Canada, his three mates, and twenty-two seamen,.who swore to the facts, with perjury and deliberate barratry.' . A LULL IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. This refusal was in 1858. Lewis Cass, then Secretary of State. did not press the matter any • further. The rebellion came on, and William H. Seward succeeded Mr: Cass. At the close of the war the owners of the Canada again. importuned_ their Government for justice. On the lith-of July,' L 1867, again de manded reclamation, with interest to date. The 'claim then amounted to" over $400,000. Tiny foreignSecretary' of Brazil received that order on 'August 21st. Over a - year . passed, during which the -claim came before four different .-Ministers of Foreign Affairs, but no answer was returned. The American Minister then made a formal reclamation of. Paranlios,who had again come in power. Pending the . discussion, Paranhos, withou giving any notice to the American Minister, directed the Brazilian Minister in Washing ton to ask Mr. Seward to re-examine the claim, with a view of changing . his instructions to -Gem Webb; atßio Janeiro. At the same time; Paranhos placed before Secretary Seward his portion of the correspondence, thus secur ing a point on Gen. Webb, who was pledged not to forward his until the negotiation was closed. HOW THE GA3IE WORKED Secretary Seward promptly promised, through the Brazilian Minister at Washing ton, to make a re-examination of the' claim. Keeping Gen. Webb mystified as to'his opera tions, Paranhos then suspended negotiations with him. Gen. Webb immediately stumped it to Paranhos's palace, andfdemanded an ex planation. An angry altercation ensued, and Webb left, complaining of ungentlemanly treatment. He immediately- forwarded' 'his part of the, correspondence to Secretary Sew ard. There-examination was then ordered. GEN WERE TALKS WITH SEWARD. Before the examination was concluded,Gen. Webb left this city andwent direct to Wash ington, where he saw Secretary Seward. He exposed to the Secretary Paranhos's treach ery, and advised a sham=e in his instructions, and the adoption of the Examiners' report to compromise for less than one-fifth of the origi nal clainf, including interest. In his new in structions, Mr. Seward reduced the ground for complaint to one for error, and an abuse of lawful authority by the Brazilian • soldiers in seizing the vessel. It seeius that the reef was not within a marine league of the shore, and the government, believing it to be otherwise, had neglected to state the trueground of its jurisdiction. Mr. Seward offered to compro mise the claim for $70,000. GEN. WEER AGAIN 'AT RIO JANEIRO. On March 20, General Webb returned to this city with Seward's new instructions. On the 31st, he presented them to the Baron de Cotegipe, the new Minister of Foreign Af fairs,who received them apparently with great satisfaction. On the 24th of April, the Ameri can packet being about to sail on the 25th, and General Webb being ill in bed, lie sent the Secretary of Legation, the Hon. William V. V. Lidgerwood, to the Baron do Cotegipe's residence, to inquire whether he accepted or rejected the offer of comprom'se made by the Government of the United States, in order that he might reportthe result _by_steamer-on the following day. CAUGHT IN HIEVOWN TRAP, The . Baron then, for the first time, repu diated Mr. Seward's instructions eMbodied in Mr. Webb's despatch. He based' this refusal on. the fact that the Brazilian Minister at Washington had not informed him that Mr. Seward had issued any such instructions. Mr. Lidgerwood told the Baron that he had seen the original instructions in Mr. Seward's own handwriting, and that Gen. Webb's statement was correct. Sooner than bear the Baron's offensiv_o-answer-to-- Gen.—Webb,-he-would show him Mr. Seward's manuscript instruc tions. The Baron, though acknowledging that he was familiar , with Mr. Seward's hand writing, refused to look at the instructions. GEN. WEBB WARNS THE BARON. On April 25, Gen. Webb, who had been in formed of the Baron's course, wrote him a letter appealing to him not to adhere to his de cision, as it made Mr. Seward's instructions so much waste paper or a forgery. •He insisted that he should not be held responsible for the neglect of the Brazilian Minister - at'Washing ton, and aaked for a personal interview.. 'Mr. Lidgerwood presented this letter to the Baron on-the same day, and urged upon . him the ne cessity of changing his' position-if- he -would avoid a suspension of diplomatic intercourse. A nurruitr,.',. The Baron de Cotegipe refused to read or receive the letter; again 'disclaimed 'all Diu kind feelings , or the slightest disrevect towards Gen. Webb; but insisted that the Go vernment of the Unittid States had treated their Minister with disrespect and wounded the sensibilities of the Imperial Government; and that what purported to be renewed instruc tions could not and would not be received. The Secretary of Legation replied that it was his Minister and the dignity of his Goverrunent that were outraged; and took his leave, bring ing with him the letter which the Baron re fused to receive. Before leaving, however, Gen. Webb was requested not to seek an in terview until the Baron de Cotegipe had offi cially replied to his note of the 31st of March. On the following day the rejected note was again banded to the Baron, and left with him, On May 3 General Webb wrote a scathing letter to the Baron. In it he used the follow ing language`: 'Has no other nation but that of the Im perial Government just susceptibilities to be wounded? May not a republic; boasting of its forty millions of enlightened and intelli gent freemen, be as susceptible:lto contempt', Oita treatment as the Imperial Government of ' Brazil, based as it is upon the institution of human slavery? and is It not within thepresent ultra monarchical and reactionaryadministra tors of Brazilian affairs that the undersigned, the duly accredited Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, may have susceptibilities to be wounded, quite as much entitled to considera- tion and respect, as, are thejust susceptibili ties of :the Minister of the Imperial Govern ment in Washington?" • Gen. Webb then told the Baron that he might better recognize the instructions, and reject their compromise if he didn't want to pay the claim. DIOHE OF IT--GEN. WEBB GOING. Gen. Webb remonstrated in vain.. A sharp. correspondence ensued. The Baron returned. Gen. Webb's first letter as insulting, and on .May 10 Gen. Webb demanded his passports. They were sent him on the 12th. The General packed his traps and engaged passage on the Merrimack. The greatest excitement ,pre vailed over the rupture. The foreign minis ters all sympathized Nyith Gen. Webb, and the majority of the newspapers published edito rials leaning- in his favor. All the correspon dence was thew published. This had a great effect upon the public, who were fearful of a war with the 'United States. • GOING, GOING, BUT NOT GONE. At 2 o'clock Gen. Webb embarked.' By order of the government the steamer was detained two hours. The Baron appeared apPalled at the storm he had created. Webb fumed like a diplomatie lion, and refused to -parley: The Baron's back then gave way, and at fifteen .minutes before 4 o'clock, just as the anchor was being raised, he recognized the validity and authenticity of Secretary Seward's instructions, conceding all that Gen. Webb demanded. Webb's trunks were tossed back on the wharf, and Webb hithself followed them, limping down the gang-plank of the Merrimack with a peculiar sMisfaction. His wife accompanied him. r Everybody seemed joYful, the diplomatic combatants resumed their fraternal relations, and night rushed over Rio Janeiro, with the Merrimack forty miles at sea, and Gen.

The latter has been progressing steadily through the winter and spring, -and a pretty just idea of i the ar- , ,rang,ernent and expression of the groups can now be obtained by those who are fortunate enough to be admitted to the - rdoni.• The •painter has latterly been working up some _figures in • the • lower . right-hand corner, which at present are more advanced titan anything in the composition; they are grandiose in conception and dramatic in style, representing the arrested motion of a onfederate - standard-bearer rallying a mo ment froM a group of slain and dying, and desperately flaunting his tattered colors in the air; the dying energy of the "lost cause" is de picted in his set gaze. This passage of the picture• already reveals Itothermel's peculiar depth and splendor. of color, though its tone will doubtless have to be moditid4 by glazing when the artist comes to arrange the chiar' osopuro over his whole great canvas. The dimensions of the picture are much in the way of its convenient progress, at least in the room it now occupies. The ordinary studio light, though broad, falls with much greater inten sity on one part of the sheet than on others, and the picture cannot be properly painted as placed, nor moved for a better light, as it emu pletely fills the diagonal of Mr. Rothermel's large painting-room. It was in contemplation to remove the partition between the studio and the large gallery-room adjoining, but this has not been done as yet. The general Aspect of the picture is brilliant and spirited, though, we think, a larger scale for the figures would have improved it greatly. . The absence of direct study from life,—for no model has yet been eMployed,--is . evident enough in the conventional similarity of the faces all over the scene; but "only fools judge unfinished Work," and we have no doubt that when the series of portraits in preparation shall be combined With tlie design, much of this conventionality will disappear. One of Mr. Rothermel's latest sitters for the picture was Gen. Meade, of whose grand eagle-like profile a fine sketch decorates the studio. We expect the "Battle of Gettysburg," when completed, to be such a triumph of color and light-and-shade as no other artist in America, and very few anywhere, could produce. The detail also will be carefully studied, and will be as minutely and practically right and busi -riess--like as an essentiaridealist - like - Itother-, mal can be expected to make it. The story of the picture, besides, will be historically true,. to unexpectedly minute incidents. Along with these great merits we may perhaps haVe to forgive a certain plainness and rigidity in the composition, a certain Itothermeliam attitude striking all about among the personnel, and a certain unreal beauty of tone and tint, which are the characteristics of the master, 4 and..whickhe ia.quite willing-to laimer alley iu the pursuit of the rare qualities which are -peculiar to,his genius.
