[Correspondence of The frees-] :
Parma, November 10, 1868. ■
Immediately after posting my last letter, [from
Milan,J I proceeded to “ LaScala, 1 . I ’which is one,
of tils greatest sights there/ for this immense the/
litre, althonghbnilt some time ago, ranks’ as the
| third in ’size,' among suoh buildings note open tor
| the publio, in the world—the opera house-in.Mos
oow being .the’- largest, and Ban Oaflo in Naples
the seoosd. Ton may notice I/have underlined
the words- “ now open,” 1 for, actually,.the largest
theatre of modern times isin this little city of Par
ma, but it .has been olose 1 for nearly 70 years, and
at the present moment the sunshine peeps.through,
the' rafters, 1 and the gay decorations are,gone]
whilst the paint has-entirely fallen off,.giving the"
Whole a hideous aspeot. .’Still oheis struck 1 by;the‘
quaint‘manner in which itfsboilt-S-akmdipf link'
between of ancient amphitheatro aiid‘
the theatre of to-day. - ,-■ .c - ■, ’
To continue'with La Soala-i-I mosfaay that the
house' has- a grand,'a mighty l avr, as one enters
the door, six rows ef boxes-mouniing to the rOof,-
ihe vast parquet,’tho wide Stigei’the great cur
tain—lndeed, oho must stop’ to admirethe vast
nessof that spaiolous may contain
1,000 persons! hut It is seldom,Tory seldom sobrowd
ed with humah beings, ’for soareely a thousand
usually oongregafe there.'" The house, therefore/
has a very empty' look; - which "oertaihiy cannot
arise- from, the pride of admission,- which 'is 'oniy.
half a dollar for thole who ehsose to'stand in the
parquet,' and doublo’ that, for those who wish to
be comfortably seated. 1 Many stand all the time,
with their hats on,- that Jbeing’a kind of privilege 0
reserved for them, and these standees.are most re
spectable “gentlemen—persons-of tho very first’
fsimilies thus being there, -who only oomo in, for
one or two nets, or'in the middle of the perform-)
enoe, and do not oare to pay for plaoea. If they,
ohoose, they may sit down l on the borders of the
parquet-ohairs, the seats of which are moveable,,
and locked up against the -book, whloh dook the
ticket-taker unfastens on your presenting a tioket,'
on whloh is written the nnmber of some one'chair,
and, after tearing off a tiny pieoo, returns it,-In
order that you may have a-gnarentee.to. that Seat
daring the whole evening. I> should have’.men
tioned that quite another;ticket had,previously
been given np to proeure entrance to .the. theatre,
and that whloh gives a'right to a. seat. 1 The first,
four rows ore -reserved for. military offioers, who.
pay very little for admission; as the Emperor of
Austria, or rather his brother, the Governor of
Lombardy end Venetia, give enormous sums an
nually, from the StfiteTreasury, which enables
the Sireotor of the theatre to pOy expenses. :
Having mentioned the manner of entranee-to,
the parquet, (that to the boxes is sensual,) I shall
pass to the performance, for the honse Itself is bat,
poorly deoorated—the boxes lined with red da-,
mask for the most part, though eomo aro of other]
colors, acoordlDg to' the taste of the’ proprietors,
who buy then! for the whole year.
..La Soala Is only noted for its else, and its re
nowned performahoos, whioh aretho best lb Italy;
Its decorations aretastefol.bat plain, v■:, -
I said that the price of admission Is not expen
sive. ' That’ is .to say,Jn proportion.to the per
formance, as I heard opera, “ Norma,” in whioh
the, Prime .Donna (Marie. Laffon,) ,waa partiW
larly fine—indeed, in ayear or two she wfll go to
Amerloa. Here, it was.diflloult to hear.her. sing,
for-the 1 shouts.of *< Brava ” and the clappingof
hands, (here,the audiences nevermakd anydieiae
with' their feet,)’ and throe or four timeß that-she
left the-stages she was obligedto retutn.to re
ceive the"homage efthe'audlenee. Besides-the
Opera, we.had a Ballet of five aois) a performance
commencing at eight, and lasting over fonr hours:
It was.<iailed,-!*itodolpho ) ’i andthe.jsubjeqtis
taken bom oho of Eugena Eue’s nmanoes.- -
- To be brief, I shall only mention the number of
lefformeraontho immense stagoflarger— I mean
ine' scag* mm, many-. cm)nr tgeaues.~ - Ebb
orchestra I bbuhted seventy. threemiaieianJ; There"
were fiftyibne malb and slity-seVeh female chorus
singers, whilst the orchestra was aided by a whole.
real military band, lent gratis by the Govern
ment, dressed In tkeatrioat costumes; in ” Norms, V
for instsinoe, as Roman soldiers. Xhere, also, were
the principal vocal performers, and some eighty
more hon-speaklng persons, who filled op the back
ground. Yet, with these three hundred aotors,
the stage was but half full. ,
It was indeed a pleasure to hear an opera given
in suoh a style. Imagine that beautiful march in
■‘.Norma,” played by one hundred and fifty mu
sicians, and the chorus numbering nearly as many
singers. It was Indeed enohanting.
La Seals is noted throughout the world for the
finest danoers and the best “ mlse en soene.b I
counted ninety-two—and any number for persons
to fill up, with the same military band, dressed
as peasants in the village scene, and in tho gro
tesque imitation of a Carnival, In the ballet.
You may wonder at the expenses. They could
not be paid, did not the Government pay by far
the' greater portion. -In Vienna, .the Impenal
Theatres belong entirely to the State, which pays
tho Director, &0., so muoh .a year, and gives pen
sions to those performers who have sung a certain
number of years. ,
The expenses of La Soala include. the Theatre,
illumination, orchestra, singers, So., tho costumes
(of tho moat gorgeous descriptions), tho other em
ployees. There are thirty tioket-takers—and,
last net least, the seenlo department. In the bal
let there was a village scene, which had in the
dlstanoe a oasoade of real'water, some eight feet
broad, falling from a rook nearly twenty-seven foot
high.. The moon was made by on eleotrlo light,
whioh could have illuminated the whole theatre
sufficiently, had all its foioo been given. As it
was, tho lights wore dimmed by Its: bitghtness.
and we viewed the gay danoe by what seemed real
moonlight, in'whloh the leaping water foamed and
beautifully sparkled whin the onrtain was drawn
and bofore the danders had appeared, the audi
ence'almost rent the honae with their shouts
admiration and applauao. The soene was fairy
like ; never did I see anoh an Imitation of nature.
Next day, tho Dlrootor, from whom I had tho
above figuros, Informed me that this village soene
cost, every night, upwards of - a thousand iwanti
gor, or about one hnndred and sixty Amerloan
dollars.
This slight sketoh of one night’s performance at
La Soala has taken up so muoh of my time, that
this gay and pretty city of Parma, whioh owes fib
muoh to Maria Louisa, widow of Napoleon I, can
find no place in this missive, although Us grand
oollootion of works of art, partionlarly tho produo- 1
tlons of Correggio, deserve volumes of description:
My route hither consisted partly of retracing my
stops as far as Verona, whdnoo a railway brought
me to Mantua, and thenoe a diligence to this plaoe.
Nothing ooonrred suffioiently important to partlou
larlsb, but I may mention the ohang&in the hotels,
whioh are, rather different here, and peouliar to
Italy.- loannot refrain from speaking of thoir
quaint oonstruotion, though the description of an
Inn, whioh la Indeed moat Important to a travel
lers’s life, may aeem tedious, if not ont of plaoe.
Italian hotels may bo divided Into two olaeses,
those of tho larger towbs being built and conduct
ed upon tho German prlnolplo, those only of the
smaller capitals boing really Italian, and you
must allow mo to dosorlbe them. *
The entrance Is invariably by a large door-way,'
through whioh tho diligence drives, stopping on
a square oourt yard. The busy host runs out to
oonduot yon to tho seoond story, tho real com
mencement of the hotel, the first or ground story
being used as stables and carriage house.. It Ison
this Inviting interior court-yard soono that tho
windows of all tho rooms look, except those faoing
the street, whioh are invariably reserved for
“mllors” and “ miladies” travelling in thairown
oarriageß and four.
Mostourioua are Iho “halls” leading to the
rooms, whioh are mere balconies running entirely
round the oourtyard,-always uncovered, and,
therefore, most unpleasant, for ever; one going
to his room must pass before yonr window. As ou
riSßlty la a falling all the world over, tho possers
by always gate In. Thlß balcony, soxving as hall,
is tho greatest point of differenoo., Thekitohen
department is also on the seoond floor, and should
oiie be idle, he may view the preparation and
cooking of oaoh of his meals.
An immense olook Is always placed upon the
court-yard wall, just opposite the entrance, and
the olook In this hotel at Parma, (Which is very
comfortable,) would ' do honor to any ohnroh
steeple, tho dtal being a little over five foot
(American, always,) in. dlameter-not olronm
ferenoe. Every quarter of an hour, a bell, happily
not in proportion to tho sise of the olook, rings the
hour. Aftor that a; smaller , h'oii rings'this quar
ters. Tho larger bell never strlkes-more than six,
whioh It does four .time; in horns,
The Italians,like oiooks., No-thaatre is without
one, just above the outtain. - Adieu, ;B. R,>

As a controversial writer—and tbe American
church has produced few, any," gre a ter—h e' al -
.ways commanded the. respect, and often the esteem,
of nig opponent. 1 Thiswas. especially manifested
in his cont roversy with Drt t r of which
grew his sreaUract* itßpiseopacy&feted by Scrip*
tore.” Wo .speak certain knowledge,-from
what we have heard Dr. Barnes himself say with*
in & few years, when we declare ihathV enter
tained-the highest personal: respect and esteem for
Bishop Onderdonk, and expressed.the deepest con*
oern that the Blshoplshould be'restoredto his
ministry, jHe moreover said; that -this was the
general feeling; among his friends and,-brethren,'
It was in the year, 1845 that Bishop Onderdonk
resigned h!6'office :> as "Diocesan Of Pennsylvania.
Into theioiredmstsnces which.led fo this result we
have no present disposition to .enter, as we stand
by his new-made grave. - Happily, most happily,
all harsh orunkind-feelings, begotten inthatbour,
found their grave in silence before
.the heart now quiet had oeased to beat. Many
are now the voioes to thank God'that tho aoiion of
the last meeting of the House of-Bishops was no
longer delayed. Many will bless God-, that -their
ears were permitted to hear the familiar voige c£
their old and beloved Bishop ia the'earthly sane*
tuary, before it sank Into the silence of thegrave.
It mast now,‘indeed, be a gratefoHhought to the
churchmen'of Philadelphia, that in almost every
parish in that city,' wlthoutexception, the Bishop
had been ihvited to officiate sinoe hia restoration.
This undoubted evidence of , the univeisdfc satis
faction felt in the resumption of His must
have boon most grateful to the Bishop’s heart, and
we rejoice that this happy memory rests upon his
grave., * * - ~
It was after the year 1845 that the writer of this _
notice was brought into close andconstant.oom
munion, with Bishop. Onderdonk: ;Prom the near*
hess and famUiaiityof th is most valued intercourse,
from seeing him in his well-ordered family circle,
where he was moßt loved and'venerated, there
grew alove and reverence for his .character- The
material which composed it was thorough honesty* -
adorned with that extreme rfmplioUy which’only
seemed rough to those who did not. come near
enough to discover the fineness otthe texturo. In
all his season of trial there'was a calm and uncom
plaining submission.' Not' & breath or murmur,
not a harsh word, not an unkind thought, was ever
expressed. - An undiminished interest in all that
affected'the weal or woe of the church, an ever
vigilant watohfulnessover all her concerns, proved
how deep and strong a regard for her interest was
in'his heart. He showed that truest power of
groatnoss, which manifests its strength in snhmls*
eion. It was the presence of this mighty power
of Divine grace, not, as some thonght,theabsence
of strong and aoute feeling, which brought such a
oalm over the troubled waters. Ifis the strength,
the power, whioh gives the Christian his victory
over the world! # -
', f7e conclude this notice with an oppressive feel
ing of Its nnworthinesi of the subjeot.. We havo
heard of the guide who. in the darkness of night,
attempts to show.the grandeur of a [magnificent
ruin by the light of a teeble torch. Such wo "al
most feel has been our present'effort 1' But upon
the ruin whioh ianow'hidden in the darkness of
the grave, shall fall the elear-light of an eternal
