PAUL. PAULINE LIICCA. An instance of the revolution which the pos session of a , tine yoke will effect upon the poorest fortunes is given in the career of Mine. Pauline Lucca. Lilte Mlle. :Nilsson ? the Baroness von Randen owe§ her proSperity to exeeptional natural abilities discovered among humble surroundings. . Her youth was passed in poverty: The necessities ..of her faMily drove the, little child to eke out subSistence by dancing in the Nienna floftheatre ballet., where she received snore rebuffs than praises—rebak amounting often tO:pOsitive cruelty. In 1850 the Child of eight, Was. kidded and threatened the.hallet niesterilevenhet : parents' religion (they were Jews)' being added to the Scotts of. which the t3erman language is so susceptible. Little Pauline; Was Stupid, or wilful, and was . iilthilately 'rejected:as useless for a dancer. In this extremity wrelative who' possessed some means offered to have het educated fOr a gov erness, She was sent to school, where she fared ill, according to her own . =Count, pub lished in a foreign paper, from which we take some few particulars of her life. The story of her school-life is contained in a letter to a friend. She says: " When I first entered the school I was scarcely nine years . ; Some years . before, as the child of a well-to-do merchant, I had attended school, but now learned the difference bet Ween such a position and my present stand ing. It was a long time before I could drill My childish heart to endure in silence all the humiliation to which I was subjeeteth But a triumphiay in store for me. As the time for the examination drew. near, teachers and scholars Were in continual excitement. I, akine, beheld the preparations' with indiffer ence, because certain I 7Wonld be considered too insignificant to be questioned:. Every day, from twelve until one' o'clock,. we were prac ticed in, • singing; not in the form •of regular • musical instruction, but simply required to follow the air played on a violin, and drilled like. so many canary birds. was never allowed to sing, but served the teacher aka music stand, holding his notes for him. ~Everything was finally prepared, and the august day arrived.. I remember how awed we were by the appearance of the principal in a new cap of extraordinary construction. We were required to dress alike and trouble enough my poor mother bad had to meet the expense of my outfit. The gnOts were as sembled; the girls were ranged on, bendies— t in a corner behind the others—and the ter rible man, the Examiner, proceeded to busi ness. A solitary question was put to me just, when 1 had arranged myself most comfortably to overlook the room.` Of course, as I had not the least idea of the proper answer, I replied at random, and sat down again amid the vornfal laughter of my fellow-scholars and the frowns of my teachers. The Examiner alone seemed intensely amused, as it' he considered the reply especially appropriate. I was again aroused by the rising of the whole school pre pat atory to singing. I looked up and saw my mother directly: before' me, the tears rolling down her face, and looking reproachfully at um. For the first time I was really +Mortified, and the thought dashed through my mind : HoW can I make up for that stupidity ? I had been'forbidden even the privilege of holding the notes at my examination, bitt 'with the assurance.of fate, my heart, urged me to go forward With the lest to sing: " Quick as thought I advanced, heedless of the curious looks of the teachers. After the , others had, parrot-like, gone over the songs required, the Examiner, whom I had earnestly, Wistfully stared at, during the singing, turned suddenly'to me, with tile question: ' Now, what can you sing?' ACh! everything the Others have sung;--everything,' answered I, sturdily. " 'So, so! sing then this'— "It was a little air which I disliked; I turned up my pug nose, but sang it; then instantly asked permission to sing the Ave Maria, which, being the most, difficult, had been omitted by the others. . PermiStion was granted, and seizing the notes with the eagerness of one de termined at one stroke to make amends for the past, I sang that simple but inexpressibly touching composition; (even now when I sing it the,tears spring to my eyes). How did sing? I do not know—only this much I re member, that as I ended! found myself caught in the arms of the Examiner, who, between tears and kisses, exclaimed, Child, bast sung like an, angel!' I turned to my school mates, to Meet only sour, envious faces—but one little girl ran up to embrace me and,con gratulate me. My mother was in a 'flutter of delight, anaeould not sufficiently express her wonder." From the day when Pauline proved at school the'possession of at all events one talent in an admirable degree, her vocation was decided. She was at once made a member of the chorus connecte(l with the Karntimer Theatre, and half a dozen years later she made her first hn pression upon the public. She was seventeen, when in October,lBsl' she sang the role of the first bridesmaid in " iler Freisehutz." We are indebted to her again for a description of this important evening. The theatre was crowded to excess, and away up on " Olympus " sat a little, dried up, weather-beaten .Jew,anxiously waiting for the moment of his chil's success, for she had assured him she meant to create, such a furore as to incite the manager to en gage her for the rendition of the second best parts. She has not greatly altered since that' time in personal appearance—is now, as then,a plump, graceful figure, with large r , blue-grey eyes, shadowed by long blacklashes, and arched by boldly defiked brows. She en-, teredpleading the bridal chorus, and kneeling. before Agathe; began the well-known melody in' such a joyous, dashing; lark-like fashion, that the audience broke out in tumultuous' applause. Such a rendition they had never before heard, and the little leader was called. to the front of the stage to repeat the song.' When the curtain finally 1011; and the little old , man waited impatiently at the door of the chorus greelirooni, Pauline flew out with the delightful news that she was engatged 'at six hundred guilders yearly to sing the leaser solo parts. it was,' however, necessary that the' orchestral. conductor, Eckert, should first test her. voice. This he did the follow lug . day, and pronounced the astonishing judgment that she possesseil neither voice nor talent, and must remain in! the chorus. Pauline has never lacked spirit, so. she stamped her little foot in a rage, crying out' that she had both voice and talent, and would! show him sometime what he had lost ; further-i more,. she would never sing in the chorus! again—and never again in Vienna. She per shaded her father to leave Vienna, and six months later we find her prima donna of • the theatre of Olnifitz. Here, during that winter she studied eigh(een new parts, running the gamut of impersonationS, from the tragic to the most extravagant soubrette. Ohniitz she went to Prague, where the in tendant of the Royal Opera in Berlin discovered her—a happy Man when he coaxed the rare bird to remove to that city. Since . 1861 she has been attached, Under a life-long contract, to the Royal Opera of the Prussian capital. The little Viennk Jewess—Pauline Lucas— has become the Christian Pauline LucCa, since a few years back the wife of the Baron von • From the first evening of laci appearance on the Berlin stage, she, has be6n adored Aki the GENTS' FORNOTITICO e °WAN' entbuidastie TBerlice ;-;Whether • ."7" sonatipg ifargaret;-Selika,Valeatble, PATENT S OOLDER'SEATASHIRT oi , theniany.other characters for vhich s le is fitted,,itiq 18 48 Sllceethdfil ivonslorf in 4 , MAMUFACT.O4)RY...'i' fluence upon her audience. •-lrherear6 greater orders tor thaw coO l ya4indruritlipiatal. artists in so, far as the brilliant execution of brief natio; astonishing trills and palatally wonderful tiontlomeo3 Putnishing Goods , staccato measures goes for music, but there are Of late styles in full variety. few such singers as Pauline.Lucca.'

James Gordon Bennett's Announcement In the Herald of his Marriage. [From the !few York Herald, June I, 1840.11 " TO TILE HEADERM OF THE lERALD-DECLA• RATION OF LOVE-CAUGHT AT LAST-00.. ING TO BE MARRIED-NEW NIOVEMENT IN "I am going to be married in a few, days. The weather is so beautiful; times are getting so good,the prospects of political and moral reform so auspicious, that I cannot resist the divine instinct - of honest nature any longer; so lam going to be married to one of the most splendid women:in intellect, in heart, in soul,, in property, in person, in• manner, that I have yet seen in the course of my interesting pil grimage through human life. " I can not stop in my career. I must fulfill that awful destiny which the Almighty Father has written against my name, in the broad letters of life, against the wall of Heaven. I niust give the world a pattern of hippy Wedded life, with all the charities that spring from a nuptial love. In a few days I shall be married according to the holy rites of the most holy. Christian Church, to one of the most remarka ble, accomplished and beautiful young women of the age. She possesses a fortune. I sought and found a fortune—a large fortune. Si.e has no Stonington shares of Manhattan stock, but in purity and uprightness she is worth half a million of pure COW. Can 'any swindling bank show as much ? In good sense and elegance another half a million, in soal , mind and beauty, millions on millions, equal to the whole specie of all the rotten banks in the world. happily, the patronage of the public to the Herald is nearly $25,000 per annum, almost equal to a President's salary. But property in the world's goods was never my object. Fame, public good, usefulness in iny,day and generation; the religious associations of female excellence; the progress of true industry—these have been my dreams by night, and my desires by day. In the new and holy condition into which I am about to enter, and to enter with the same reverential feelings as I would heaven itself, I anticipate some signal change in my feelings, in my views, in my purposes, in my pursuits. What they may be I know not— time alone can tell. My ardent desire has been through life to reach the highest order of huinan excellence, by the shortest pOssible cut. Associated, night and day, in sickness and in health, in war and in peace, with a woman of this highest order of excellence, must produce some curious results in my heart 'and feelings, and these result's the future will develop in due time in the columns of the Herald. Meantime,l return my heartfelt thanks for the enthusiastic patronage of the public, both of Europe and America. The holy estate of wedlock will only increase my desire to be still more useful. God Almighty bless you all. "JAMES GoRDON BE-N:kiErr." _ In the postscript to this announcementrßen nett gives notice that he shall have no time to waste upon the editors who attacked him, " until after marriage and the honeymoon." On the Bth of June, 1840, the marriage was announced at the head of the editorial columns of the Herald, as follows: " NI A RIVED "On Saturday afternoon, the 6th inst., by the Jim Dr. Powers, at St. Peter ' s Catholic Church, in' arclay reet, James Gordon Ben nett, proprietor and editor of the New York Herald, to Henrietta Agnes Crean. What may be the effect of this event on the great newspa per contest now waging in New York, time alone can show." Mr. Gladstone at Horne. A Liverpool paper having published an ac count of a visit to Mr. Glad.stotte's house, the Loudon Daily NemB makes the followin,g com ments : "The Premier will not grudge us the peep at him in his private lifb. One day we find hint with his son and his nephew busily engaged, by way of recreation, in cutting down a beach tree near Ilagley that measured fourteen feet in cir cumference. ' The process of felling the great tree takes three days of three hours each. An other day we visit him at Ilawarden in company with the Archbishop of Syra and Tenos, and we discover him in the act of sawing planks for a job of joiner's work which be had undertaken and nearly' finished. Mr: Gladstone has the reputatiorrof being the hardest working man in England. Few men can work so hard as he, and still fewer can in the same amount of time accomplish as much ; and we are sure that if be takes to clearing wood or sawing planks he will do it with a will. Even his amusements will be energetic, and he cannot be surprised at the curiosity of the people, who like to see their great men at play when they throw off their official robes and airs, and be come ordinary men. "Much of a statesman's popularity depends on the ease with which be can take us into his confidence—and, so to speak, into his family. Wo seem to know him and to like him better if we can follow him like Lord Palmerston to the hunting-field, or Mr. Bright to a day's fish ing, or like Mr. Gladstone to a bout of wood cutting and joining. This is indeed one of the great sources of pleasure which the • English take in political dinners. We like to see our statesmen eating. It did one good to, see that wonderful old man, Lord Palmerston, eat with the zest of =Eaton schoolboy. And so it did one good to see Sir Robert Peel bobbing in his saddle in Rotten row. Perhaps it may also do us good to see Mr. Gladstone, after a bard morning's work over state papers, throw off the cares of ofliee with his coat, and pre ceed to wield tsaw, he axe, and and the plane."
