Sixty-second street and Third avenue is not a locality that we vain New Yorkers would se lect for the edification and astonishment' " of visiting •Bostordans. But it was the best wehad for a festival, our crystal palace being yet un built, and it is, all things considered, equal in beauty to the location of the Coliseum in Bos ton. The locality, usually given up to a strange and unkempt populace of car-drivers, and never lively with anything bet nanny-goats and Third avenue cars, suddenly broke out into something like a festival symptom.. Vari ous flags were unfarled, small beer shopswere extemporized, coaches mingled with the won dering 'dirt carts, and , wild strangers, with blaekr boxes under their arms, 'made the bar --rki vicinity picturesque all day. To New Yorkers this locality is associated with target: , shooting burghers and fat beer drinkers in ribbons, but not with of New England and New Jersey.

Even the arrival of the battery of six pounders, and the stiltmore attractive groups of gaily-dressed young women, with-chorus books under their artns, stirred,rio metropoli tan pulses. It was not until 7 o'clock last evening that any indication of the amount of interest in the festival was observable. 6/844_,1 966 66 B. B. COAIZGYS, At 8 o'clock the house was half full, and all further doubts were set at rest by "the steady tide of people which approached mainly from down town and on the Third avenue road. The front of the structure - was ablaze with light, calcium gas jets casting an unwonted glare across the barren and sunken places opposite the'entrance. Within the ensemble was striking. The greatest ingenuity had been exercised to light it to the hest effect, and the disposition of the ,immense: chords, con sisting of quite 2,000 voices, upon which two calciums.threw a mellowedlight, was exceed ing tine. Indeed, the coup (Neil 'was quite as firm if not so grand as that presented at the peace festival. , The. Symphony In C At 8 o'clock precisely the performance be gan with the Beethoven symphony C minor Mr. Carl Bergmanntondfuiting. The orchestra, numbering about 350 instruments, was very well balanced, hitt it need hardly be said here that the symphony is not exactly the best piece of music for a festival of these gigantic proportions. Much of the first move ment was lost it the 'bustle mid clatter of incoming people, and nearly all the double Passages were inatalible at the extremity of the building. • It is extremely creditable; to Mr. Bergmann that he did not sacrifice the dynamic arrangement of the work to over come the difficulties. The symphony was smoothly performed throughout, -witha nicer. regard'to the tempo, and with a greater deli cacy of shading than the' circumstances• of their assembling had warranted. It is due to the occasion, perhaps, that a symphony of Beethoven should have the place of honor upon the inaugural• programme, but it does not yet appear that his works can be heard to the best advantage with hastily-assembled or chestras. The second piece of the programme was r the., aria and chbrale " Infinamatus," from , the Stabat Mater" of Rossini, sung, by Madame Parepa-Rosa and, the entire choral force, of two thou Sand voices. Remeniberiug what a brilliant success Mme. Rosa met with. in ,Bos-; ton by the performance of this aria, in a'build-i , ing three times; the size of this' one, there was no doubt of her achieving' a still', greater victory here. She' ,was hailed in' the most vociferous manner by 'the vast audience, cheer after cheerringing and volley ing in great waves along the auditorium. The , performance of this well-known piece brought out all the best qualities`of Mme. Rosa's v,ome: With no perceptible effort, she filled the build ing With her clear carnet, tones,: and flung out the final over instruments, chorus, and all,' as no other singer probably ; ould do it. It was followed by a burst of genuine enthusiasm, the audience insisting on a repetition of it, and again rewarding her with the efostidernonstra tive applause. . 44 The Inflammatus " was performed' under, the baton of Max Maretzek. NEW YORK 'AND BEETHOVEN OPENING, :OF THE FESTIV.AI, The Concert of Last Evening ' [From tho World.) .

The eighborhood ofthe building heretofore known as the Rink (but which, since its sudden trans feimation, has been justly , called The Coliseum, The Chaste Choristers Half Fall ParePA-Rosa. did not create that volume of " sound which their numbers promised., What, how ever, rives de fi cient in massiveness and strength, was mote than compensated in compactness and alacrity. The chorus was taken • up with remarkable spirit of attack, all the chromatic points given with care and fidelity, the general effect being ' much enhanced by the , brilliancY of the orchestra, but there was a general feeling among the 'best musical judges of disapriointment at its quantity. The peculiar sense of , grandeur which vast combinations produce in music was not felt and it was necessar •I. • • •. • Crgani 3 • 1 .. 77 I neirtirta • & ,up yin mere excellence of rendition,in place of 'prodigious dynamic °fleets. The oVerture to " fifradella," performed by Gilmore's Boston Band, under Ids direction, closed the ft:at part. Dir. Gilmore was re-' ceived as The Lhei of the Occasion, the audience rising and cheering him in a frenzied - manlier. It' was not, however, in ".Stradella" that Mr. Gib:nate was most suc cessful, but in the " Star Spangled Banner," which opened the Second part, and announcd on the programme ;<.r variously as a grand patriotic hymn and a national anthem. Madame , Barepa-Rosa sung the _solo part, and - the per formers, took tad the chorus. The, effect was. of a FonithXtilj Wei, and was intensified by the battery of guns, which. , marivid _theircrash_the emphatic_ note- in-each strain. Although this was a repetition of the Boston experiment, it met with the same success, and was redemanded. As a tnusical expedient it does not seem to improve. The National Anthem, , which, with this warlike accentuation, may be, rendered, thus : 'Tie the star-spangled boom banner, 0 long nay it smash wave, O'er the land of the bang free, And the home of the rip brave. Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that a battery of guns will produce a hit that no mere musical instruments can effect, and as an advertisement nothing, can be louder. The "Star-Spangled Banner " woke up. the Third and Second avenues as they have not been waked these many ' years. Mr.' Gilmore's method of conducting elicited, as _before, _t.he warmest commendation. There in it cer tain qualifications for a great festival which are unmtstaka.ble. ----The- overture-to - Oberon brought - lir. Carl _Rosa upon the stand,.

The citizens rose tip against the Judge,abused him, and threatened to drag him from his seat on the bench and arrest him in the street. He had to convert his residence into a fortress, and men were patrolling the streets with loaded guns; &cr.

Yesterday the four lords of the desert, Spot ted Tail, Swift Bear, Fast• Bear and Yellow Hair bad a busy day. They began in the morn ing with a visit to the French frigate Magi cienne, where they were received by Admiral Lefebre and his staff, and a salute was fired in their honor. They were conducted to the Ad miral's state-room and regaletupon cakes and champagne. The latter they enjoyed im mense!. b • • 4.. •I "I. ) 1 . ,/,.• este ,no •es nng to • tness a scalping BCBIIO on his frigate. -After this repast the red men were conducted all over the ship. >The Admiral then lied one of the 15-inch guns loaded with• powder,and each one ofu the 'lndians pulled the lanyarn in turn. • This was royal sport for the Indians, and as each gun was fired they looked• eagerly for the splash of the ball which they thought was in. the cannon. It was impossible to explain to them that the gun was loaded with powder only, as'when they visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard a shotted gun was fired for their es pecial edification, and their delight then was to watch the ball striking the water. After the Ash to, the frigate, the Indians re :turned to the Astor House.-where a crowd of live or six hundred, people were xasembled The privato entrance in Vesey street was be sieged by an excited multitude - anxious to ggo a peep'at-the "redskins," - but - they were dis appointed, as the stage drove up to the Bar claystreet entrance. Although they had been to a certain extent amused by what they•have seen in New York, still they were all anxious to get back home. Capt. Poole says that the crowds which dogged - their footsteps wherever they went annoyed them considerably, and it is owing to this that they have departed so abruptly. Many invi tations were sent them, including one - from James Fisk, .Jr., to visit his steamers, and one from the of licers of the buret ship Miantono moh. Spotted Tail, however, declined to ad cept either, being tired of. Eastern life. He also refused to take a trip up the Hudson, say ing that he and his brethern all wanted to go home. Before the Indians' departure from Wash -ington, President Grant handed $4OO to Cant. Poole, and directed that each chief should ehoose presents to the value of $lOO. They -were accordingly taken to -an up.town =stored : where each tilled a large trunk with articles of various kinds. Comte, brushes, umbrellas, blankets—and - beads-seemed particularly to please their fancy. Swift• Bear_wanted__to take about a dozen umbrellas, but was dis suaded from it Jay Capt. Poole. They took, a Pacific - Railroad car on the Hudson River Railroad, at 8 o'clock last evening. Great Lora at Williamsport. The Williamport, Gazette and Bulletin of yesterday says : The nnprecedented rains of , l'huniday, Friday and Saturday caused a rise in the river, which,for_rapidity, has not been equaled for many: years. The tributaries-in this immediate vicinity were not much swollen, showing - that - the rains had spent their.power , along the main- stream, ,- On Friday morning the water had reached fifteen feet above low watermark, and So suddenly - had It - come up, that large quantities of logs; which had been rafted out of the boom 'and not secured In basins or harbors; weree - broken away and swept down stream. The vacuum left in the Susquehanna boom, where logs had beonrafted. out was soon. filled "by the crowd from above, and many logs escaped at the bottom and passed dowit•stream. The, water reached its height about two o'clock on 'Saturday morning. when it marked nineteen feet nine inches, being several inches higher than the spring flood. Ali near as we could-ascertain, the fol lowinglosses have been sustained : Dodge & Co., one million feet logs ; H. James -&: Co., one million; J. V. Itrown 86 Co., one million-; J. A. Otto & Son, 250,000 feet; - TDußois;2so,oooft - ; G.7Tinsinatc - 250 - ,000 - ftr Thompson Berper & Co., 300,000 feet ; Cook, Sloneker & Co., 590,010 feet; Trulinger, Croft &. Co., 500,000 feet; Mablon Fisher, 250,- 000 feet ; White, Lentz & White, 100,000 feet ; Crouse, Herdic & Co., 200,000 feet. There were others who lost more or less, but we have not been able to ascertain the particulars. In addition to the above, about 2,500,000 feet escaped from the boom. Probably the loss to the lumbermen of this city will reach nearly 8300,000, not counting the drawback for what they may: recover below: The Loyal/sock boom,has not, we understand, caught many, and it is estimated that 8,000,000 feet passed, below that point. It was a blue day for many of our lumbermen. We learn that the Lock Haven boom is all safe, and few, if any, logs escaped from it. The flood at that place was not near so high as the one here. The people of Mill street had to resort to the secondistories of their houses to escape the water which took possession of, their first floors. Marriage Extraordinary: The. j'itieburgh I:ovoneroioi, of -lifottday, says , A wedding occurred the other day in .the town of PerryOpolii3, Fayette connty, which surprised the, natives, and set gossipdom all agog.',. A youth of twenty summers,who, until a recent period resided in Birmingham, made his appearance in the village above mentioned, and took up quarters at a boarding, house kept by a widow lady who bad attained her seven tieth year. The Birmingham youth, soon found, himself indebted for boarding to the amount of about 'forty dollars, and unable to liquidate. His new home was quite a pleasant one, and he seemed not at all diaposed to give it up.‘ But empty pockets admon ished him that something must be donelo settle that bill before the old_ lady should take it into her head to "dim" him. Otherwise - ,he must suffer the exposure of "empty pockets the worst of crimes," with the disgrace which generally attaches to that condition. The young man, after weighing the matter .carefully, hit upon the idea of .marrying the. widow, and thus, by one bold stroke, wiping out the score which the old lady bad "hung up" against him. Having de termined uponhis course of action, our youth at once proceeded to court the old girl. The courtship'.was short and decisive. From the beginning to the ending thereof only six hours had elapsed, and the result was an en gagement to enter into the bonds of matrimony.. Mutually agreeing . upon a speedy consummation of the affair the gay couple visited the nearest 'Squire's office. This ,magistrate, after glancing at the . pair, refused to " perform the ceremony on the ground of conscientious scruples. They did not beCome discouraged'and return to the widow's dotidcil unmarried. Not - a bit - of it, • -as the sequel will Show.

Two paintings of historic interest, belong ing to an estate, are exposed in the hope that our Academy of Fine Arts, or oue of, our connoisseurs possessing a taste - for the antique, will feel for them that interest which leads to annexation; Ife=sroallecanvas=nreasuring=2ob inches, is by Washington Allston, and appears -at first sight a representation of the Virgin and Child, but was not intended to have any especially sacred significance. The expression in the group lies in the attitude, and not 'in the faces, which are commonplace. The her many of color is very - sweet. A background, with blue peaks, is much in the style of Leo nardo, whose works have evidently inspired the tenderlittle study. A larger subject is by Hilton, and is called, " The Love Letter." The' girl . who hides.the billet is ten heads high, _has an. impossibleu cranium, and the complexion of, an unhaked quartern loaf. No reverence for past reputa. tions can make a good figure out of one which ntritisiftllris an affront• to the understand ing. The effect of candle.light, with -an old woman reading, is'fairly good; and, over all one's sense of the obsolete affectations of the composition, there steals a sense' cif delicate stateliness and grace. William Hilton, the artist, died Keeper of the Royal Academy, in 1839. One of his, best works, Una and the Lion, has been engraved. Among contemporary pictures we notice a large gray marine, representing the mid-sea, by Edward Moran. It is,of course,a challenge). Comparing it with the succession of remar kablenea-pieces from another brush which have lately attracted so much attention in the' same gallery, we think that its effect -of Amid ocean mist is unnatural—certainly most un usual—that its sky is flat, and, that the minor waves are sometimes purposeless and do not partake -of the movement. At the same time, comparing the artist with himself, we think this picture a decided gain; and except with himself we never should compare him, but for the gage he throws pointedly at a fellow-crafts roan, in chasing up his most characteristic works with evident paraphrases. Mr. Moran is perfectly able to take the trouble of think ing; and we hope, in the next pair of pendant compositions we may have to notice, his own will be the precursor instead of the follower. G. H. Horstmann, an .able painter residing , at Munich, and connected with an honored Philadelphia fandly, sends a large picture representing the courtyard of Gandorf Castle on the Moselle. It is a fine specimen of Ger man painting,showing the white masonry of two bulky towers in relief against the sky, - and the Jitter- of a, modern blacksmith shop in theruinedinterior. Mr. Isaac; Williams contributes a:beautiful view of Lake Lnzerne, Whibh — we recollect admiring some little time back in his studio. Over a foreground less to our taste,Mr_ Wil- Hams—lungs a canopy of flying showers and glancing lights which we think a remarkably happy effect. At the Paris Salon this spring may be seen two contributions from the Count .de deck, the octogenarian painter. He is in his 105th year, and has made a specialty of, 'study in Ccrifral Amerisa, among whose ruins he spent a long time. His pictures are entitled " Bacchus discovering Ariadne," and "The Author's journey across the peaks of the Tremblatique Chain'of Chiapas from Palenque to Ocotziuco ; the most ancient ruins of this province of the Tzeudales." Mr. E. D. Lewis is finishing in his studio a large number of landscapes previous to his in tended departure for North Conway, N. H. The three following are large and striking plc ' tures, distinguished by Mr. Lewis's peculiar glittering brilliancy : A valley in the Indian Pass, Adirondack Mountains, with the Ansa, ble River in the foreground; glimpses of a New England village, with Berkshire Hills; and a composition called by Mr. Lewis "The Glen," representing a very picturesque old mill and stream, with surrounding landscape, discovered by the artist in the vicinity of the residence of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, the poetess, near Newport, R. I. A fresh; lumin ous efiect represents a glen' ationg the hills; with mill and darn, near the Susquehanna, in Maryland. Mr. Lewis does not always paint in his brilliant greens and yel lows; when he °Moses a gray cloud-effect, he retains his skill in the manage ment of light, and a happy silvery sheen, rather than dullness, suffuses his skies; for one of his friends, who especially appreciates the gloomier moments of his brush, Mr. Lewis has just painted two small canvases which re mind is of the Belgian artist Clays : One rep resents a part of Lake Champlain, with the distant Adirondacks melting into a hazy sky; the other, a better example, depicts the Provi dence River, dotte.d. with white sails, and the town of Providence on its banks. Two water color pictures, recently finished by Mr. Lewis, adorn the window of C. F. Haseltine, N 0.1123 Chestnut street: One is a reminiscence of San tiago de Cuba; the other, representing a bright sunset effect, shows, one of the beauti ful islands on the Susquehanna river. .TIIE COURTS. QUARTER SESSIONS.--On . Friday and Satur day the Court was engaged in the trial of Wil liam and Michael Mactague, Janies Young and John *Dougherty, charged with burglary at the house of Zopher C. Howell. Upon the person of one of^ the prisoners articles were found and identified by Mr. Howell. Among these was a knife. When the Court, adjourned on Friday, without finishing the., case, the jurors were warned' against conversing with any - one, but it appeared yesterday that Mr. Dohnert,. one of the jurors, did accost Mr. Howell on the street, and whilelalking about business, did inquire, "How about that knife ?" • The four defendants were convicted on' Saturday, but the counsel yesterday made a motiop fora new trial, giving asa reason the conversation between the prosecutor and the jtiror. The motion was argued this morning,' and Judge Lifdlow granted the new trial. - Mr. Dohnert, the juror,' was theli called to th&bar of the Court and reprimanded by the Judge, who said that he believed the conduct copplained of was an act of. indiscretion. If the Court helieved,lt to be au artful and deliberate act to interfere with the administra tion. of justice, the juror would be sent to prison. As the case stood, he - Would fine the juror $250, and discharge him from farther attendance upon the panel. The juror was then 'taken into custody. . . _ PRICE TIIREE FACTS AND rArrangs. —John Brougham is going to rtrwri' ks "Pa cahontas." —Green corn is abundant in the Ifoutheriit markets. —The French Academy has • found several plants as sensitive to chloroform as animals. —A Chicago horse not only chews tobacco, but picks the hostlers pocket:for that luxury: -A Tennessee church still keeps up the - • apostolic_custom ofwashingoneimother-84430 —A brother and sister have just been eke- • cuted on the same scaffold at Tullaword, Ire liand,for murder.
